¸.·´¯`·»Ocean Blue Descant«·´¯`·.¸
Quistis Trepe couldn't stop staring at her metal encased arm. It just seemed too surreal to her. Her arm throbbed in cold pain beneath the metal. She set her lips in a firm line and decided something at that moment.
The damn thing had to come off.
She got up from her position on the floor, and looked around the room. There were only a few things in the tiny glass cell. All the necessities for relieving herself, and the tiny bed. She grinned for a moment, eyeing the bed's metal frame.
She walked over to the bed dragging the mattress off, leaving it discarded on the floor. Metals bars criss-crossed under where the mattress had sat. She grabbed one with her free hand and pulled with all her might. It snapped in half leaving a thin jagged edge. She laid don on the mattress placing her metal encased arm on the matching metal floor.
Quistis ran her free fingers over the seem of the metal cast for a moment trying to clam her heart beat. Then she rammed the small piece of metal bed frame in between the seams pushing the metal apart.
At last it snapped and she could see part of her arm. With more pushing and pulling at last she was free of the metal restraint. She held her arm out horrified at the sight.
Embedded in the center of her hand was a tear dropped shaped ocean blue gem, the skin around it angry red and burning. She held it up through the light looking right though it.
She screamed out, the terror finally overcoming her.
Seifer awoke the next morning to a pounding on the hotel room door. Zell only slightly stirred in the bed across the room. He was climbing out of bed when the door burst open.
Yellow that bright was never a color you should see first thing in the morning.
It didn't help much that Selphie Tillimut's attitude matched her sunny yellow dress. Rinoa walked in behind her with a smug look on her pale face.
"Good morning boys" Selphie said resting a hand on her hip with a little smile.
"What are you two doing here?" Seifer asked with a growl.
"Well Squall was very upset when you two borrowed the Ragnarock with out permission," Rinoa said.
"Told you" Zell said from him muffled nest of blankets.
"So he sent you two after us?" Seifer growled climbing fully out of the bed.
"Something like that" Rinoa said with a small smile.
"What is it then?" Seifer demanded.
"I am taking over as the leader of your mission. Rinoa is to report back to Squall with full details" Selphie said placing a firm hand on her nunchukus.
"You don't even know what we are doing" Seifer said glaring at the petit girl.
"No we don't exactly, but I'm sure it had something to do with Quistis Trepe's disappearance from Timber" Selphie said. Seifer glanced at Rinoa to see a grimace float across her face.
"She was kidnapped" Seifer said tightly. He told them the whole story the realization that at this rate he would never become SeeD settled over him.
"By who?" Rinoa asked.
"What do you care, You're the one that made her leave in the first place" Seifer snapped at his ex-girlfriend. Rinoa scowled at him and rolled her eyes.
"I'll let you know what Squall has to say," Rinoa said giving Selphie a hug before fleeing the room. Selphie turned to the two boys a smile spreading across her face.
"So we are going to Timber then" Selphie said as more of a statement then a question.
"I'm still on this mission?" Seifer asked raising one blond eyebrow.
"Cid and Squall agreed that having the three most powerful SeeD's on this mission was best" Selphie said giving him a small smile. Seifer smirked at her and shook his head.
"Let's go" Seifer said grabbing his coat off a chair near by.
"Zelly, get outta bed!" Selphie said flopping down on the edge of the mattress. Zell groaned and climbed out of bed dressed only in his bright orange Moomba boxers.
"Cute" Selphie drawled as Seifer rolled his eyes.
"I'll be outside" Seifer growled slamming the door behind him.
"So I'm piloting. Squall said we can keep the Rag as long as it gets home looking' like new" Selphie explained leading the up the back hatch of the red ship.
Suddenly Seifer fell forward his knees hitting hard on the metal deck as a great heaviness fell upon him.
(~ YOU MUST FIND HER SOON~)
Diablos' great voice rolled through his head leaving a deafening silence ad Seifer took a deep breath.
"Where is she" Seifer found himself saying out loud.
(~Southwest, In a place of great amounts of water~)
The heaviness left him as quickly as it had descended. He felt Selphie's tiny hands on his temples, and healing magic rushing through his veins.
"Diablos really wanted to get my attention that time" Seifer said shaking his head a bit trying to clear the fog.
"Diablos talks to you?" Zell asked skeptically frowning.
"Isn't that a common thing?" Seifer asked looking at the two high ranking SeeDs.
"No, No GF has ever talked to me," Zell said.
"Me either" Selphie said sliding into the pilots seat. Seifer walked over and flopped down onto one of the bench seats looking across as the puzzled Zell.
"What did he say?" Zell asked.
"That Trepe is to the southwest, some where that there is a lot of water" Seifer said running a hand through his hair.
"The only thing southwest from here... " Zell said dead panning.
"Deep Sea Research Center" Selphie said flicking on the engine. Seifer sighed leaning back. He only hoped that Diablos was right, and that she really was there. The Guardian force had spoken with such urgency. Quistis must really have been in trouble. Seifer stared down at the blue ocean dreading what might be ahead.
So I have a question for everyone.
Should I incorperate other couples into this, and if yes.. Which ones?
Thank you EVERYONE for all your special reviews! I broke 100 YAY!! :)
