Seifer tapped his foot impatiently, as he glared out the window. He had no idea how the hell they were going to defeat Medarra. It was getting on his already frayed nerves. As much as he hated to admit it.
He needed help.
Eden had been junctioned to Quistis; or else that would have been the simple answer. He shook his head fiercely willing the answer to come to him.
(~ The answer is simple, master ~) Seifer hadn't even noticed the heaviness crashing down around him. He was attuned to Diablos now. No longer did the strength of Diablos' gravitational pull affect him.
"What is it?" Seifer spoke out loud without meaning to. Selphie looked over at him from the pilot's seat with a questioning look in her eyes.
(~ Medarra found only one way to rid herself of her enemies, Perhaps you can use it against her ~)
The thought was almost astonishing to Seifer. Why didn't they think of that before?
"How do we do it?" he asked his green eyes clouded over.
(~ Former Sorceress Edea will know the spell ~)
Seifer nodded curtly grabbing the communicator from his hook amongst the control. He pushed the button in on the side.
"Squall?" he said into it with a smirk.
"What is it?" Squall's voice came back over the com.
"I know how to defeat her. We'll bind her to a life of eternal servitude, as a GF" Seifer said his grin growing more wicked by the second. There was a stunned silence on the other end of the com for a moment, before Squall started to ground out a plan.
¸.·´¯`·» «·´¯`·.¸
The plan was only slightly changed when they found a great castle dominating where the ruins had once been. It seemed like forever ago that Seifer had saved Tolia's life there on his SeeD exam. The world had been turned upside down since then. Life was forever changed.
Quistis would never revolutionize Timber.
The thought was a strange one at such an important time. It had never really donned on him till now. Till this instant when they were landing the huge Ragnarock in front of the new castle that Centra sported.
It was a strange feeling to know that Medarra had changed the fate of their lives forever. Was this how Squall felt during the sorceress war? For an instant Seifer felt sorry for him. Perhaps he had truly made peace with Squall, at last.
He, Selphie and Zell were striding into the castle as one group. Squall, Rinoa and Irvine walked behind them. Squall's team was to find Matron and Cid.
Seifer's team mission was to get the two sorceresses' out, and to buy them some time to cast the spell. It they were lucky it would all end today. The two groups split at the courtyard where the fountain was dominant. Each of them had a walkie-talkie, so they could stay in constant communication.
"Where do evil sorceress keep their prisoners" Zell asked looking at Seifer. He rolled his eyes and shook his head.
"Basement, obviously" Seifer responded heading down a corridor. Selphie and Zell followed behind him, their weapons at the ready,
It reminded Seifer of the time they had gone into the depths of the deep-sea research center. If only they had been able to kill Medarra then., none of this would be happening.
Zell opened a door finding a set of stairs leading downward. His face was full of anger, obviously his thought residing with Ellone. Seifer brought up the rear, a fire spell roiling in his hand to light the way.
"We got Matron" Squall's voice squawked over the walkie-talkie.
"Thank Hyne" Selphie whispered into the darkness. Seifer felt the same ounce of relief lifted from his shoulders. It was one less thing to worry about. Zell stopped at a door and glanced back his eyes meeting Seifer.
"Do it" Seifer growled feeling his temper rising. His wife was in there, he knew it. Zell kicked the door open bursting into the familiar stone room. Seifer was taken aback for a moment, the dream flooding back to him. This was where his father had been turned into the Guardian Force he had killed.
"Zell!" Ellone's scream filled the room form where she was chained at the wall. Quistis was chained next to her, eyes trailed to Seifer. Medarra stood at the head of the room with a wicked grin on her face.
"Finally, you have arrived. My son" Medarra said her voice prickling his skin.
"I'm here to take my wife" Seifer said his voice stony. Zell was working his way toward s the wall, his eyes glaring at the sorceress.
"They will not be leaving here alive. I will drain their powers and become the true queen of Centra" Medarra said.
"Why?" Seifer asked walking forward in hope to keep her busy.
"Your father betrayed me. I vowed revenge on the entire lineage of that whore" Medarra spat her eyes full of rage.
"She is my wife!" Seifer roared throwing himself at his mother. They tumbled to the ground, her laughter filling the room. Zell took the opportunity to unchain Ellone and then Quistis. He lifted Ellone into his arms heading for the door. Selphie helped Quistis and started heading for the door.
"Enough of this" Medarra said shoving her son to the ground. She stood up and ran hand over her skirt. She raised her hand and the room started to fill with fog. Four great swords dropped form the ground slamming into the floor.
"Gilgamesh" Seifer said as the man in red robes dropped from the thin air.
"Keep going, I'll get this" Seifer said extending his arm, Hyperion gripped in his hand.
"Almasy" Gilgamesh growled one of his hands touching the scarf covering his wounded eye. Seifer winced, no longer seeing his mother, who was now hidden behind Gilgamesh. He heard the sounds of battle coming from the stairs behind him.
Seifer struck first bringing his Hyperion down on the red robbed man. Blood splattered across the floor, and Seifer realized it was his. He didn't even see the great sword coming for his side. He took a step back shaking off his wound. With a smirk he rushed forward again, raising his Hyperion. Gilgamesh's Excalibur was there to meet it.
With a clank, the Excalibur sheered right through the black metal of the Hyperion. Seifer was stunned for a second staring at the pistol handle in his hand. Another sword bit into his arm and he fell forward onto one knee.
Time seemed to slow as he watched three slow drops of blood plop to the floor. Each splattering with a new shape, staining the floor forever.
Then there was a hand on his shoulder.
He looked up through hazy eyes and saw Selphie standing there with a tiny smile on her face. Cool healing magic lightening through his veins.
"We'll fight him together" Selphie said.
