Hello everybody! This is one of my first FF8 fics. I revised it from one I
had started called 'Of Knights and Magic.' New Garden, characters, etc. I
hope you all like it, if not I'll cry and eat the cookies I would've given
you if you liked it. By the way I will update once a week if not twice.
This prologue takes place in Lunatic Pandora, it answers the question: Where did Seifer go? Please R & R, and keep the flames to a minimum.

'Stupid fools,' Seifer hissed in his mind.
Rinoa struggled in his grip saying something to him, something about how he didn't want to do this, meaningless. Ultimecia wanted this girl and so she shall have her. Squall still fought after him, so did Chicken Wuss and the rest of that ragtag group.
'Even turned my own posse against me!' he shrieked in thought.
Matron, Fujin, Raijin, even Rinoa, all were gone from his life. All gone because of him.
Forcing Rinoa up the stairs and down the hall down to Adel the voice echoed in his mind.
"Unite the sorceresses." Ultimecia whispered.
Standing before Adel, Seifer heard the clacking of Squall's boots against the metal floor.
"Seifer!" Squall shouted.
"Ultimecia wants the two sorceresses to join," Seifer hissed. "Watch Squall."
With one final burst of strength Seifer pushed Rinoa towards Adel, and his mind went black.
In a screeching torrent, his memories came back to him. All the death and destruction he brought to the world. Trabia, Galbadia Garden all gone. The Lunar Cry, the new Sorceress War. Everything came back, but he was no longer the knight. He was Seifer the scared little boy who was swept into this mess much like Squall.
Seifer looked over at Squall, how much he'd grown. Both in strength and in heart, but Seifer remained the same. He'd thrown everything away. Even his love, he'd caught the glances between Squall and Rinoa on the battle field. How close they'd gotten he had no chance left with her.
It was already to late, Rinoa was tied to Adel and Squall and the rest were desperately battling to get her back.
Seifer began running. He didn't know where, he just knew he had to get out of there. Raijin and Fujin, were they still inside? He had to find them, had to make amends.
Down the stairs, running along the fallen platform where remains of Mobile Type 8 still remained. He slipped on a screw falling forward, Hyperion slipping from his hands and falling into the abyss below. Seifer stood looking remorsefully down after his gunblade. Finally he sighed and continued his seemingly endless run. Into the elevator and through the crystal maze, finally finding the Ragnarok poking it's dragon-like head through the rubble. Fujin and Raijin stood before it looking like they just lost their best friend.
"Raijin, Fujin!" Seifer shouted running towards them tripping on some rubble and falling to his knees before them.
"Seif, what's up?" Raijin asked a bit of panic in his voice. Fujin remain silent.
"Rinoa, I-I didn't mean to - it was Ultimecia, I swear I didn't mean to," Seifer sobbed burying his face in his hands.
"Hey man it's okay, ya know? We're hear for you, just calm down," Raijin said softly gently placing his hand on his friend's shoulder.
Looking up Seifer wiped his eyes saying, "You mean you forgive me? We're a posse again?"
Smiling sweetly Fujin replied. "There is no need to forgive you. It was Ultimecia not you that was doing those evil deeds. We didn't want to be a posse with the evil Seifer, but now that the old Seifer is back, the posse is too."
Grinning big Seifer pulled his closest friends into a giant hug.
"Seifer Almasy!" A very familiar feminine voice roared.
The posse looked up to see Xu standing in the mouth of the Ragnarok flanked by 5 SeeDs, all fully prepared for battle.
Before he could even reply the floor got watery and his legs were sucked in. Xu shouted for the SeeDs to evacuate, that was the last Seifer heard before being totally pulled in.
They were all pulled through various scenarios until the finally were greeted by one of the 'locals.' Sorceresses of various eras and magical ability. Without Hyperion and Ultimecia's magic backing him up, Seifer became virtually useless. Fujin and Raijin were barely doing better depleting their healing magic rather quickly. Finally it seemed like it was all over when they met the ugliest and most powerful sorceress so far. Somehow they managed to stay alive, until it began it's countdown. The powers of Ultima struck Seifer and he couldn't defend himself against it. Briefly before death took a hold of him Seifer wondered why he let all of this happen.
The answer was simple: His romantic dream.

Oh, cliff hanger. Well like it? Loathe it? Let me know, just try and keep the flames to a minimum. In the next chapter Seifer's romantic dream will be revealed, anyone know it was a cinematic in the game? At least that's what I think it was. The truth behind a lot of what Seifer did, stay tuned.
