Infinite Plunge
A/N: The song included.. Is.. Dans La Nuit by Sarah Brightman. Enjoy! This chapter might be a little.. Iffy. I am not sure about it.
Bold Italics = the song
Normal = What is happening (Seifer and Sorceress)

Chapter 4- Dans La Nuit (In The Night)
Et quand dans la nuit tout s'endormit, (And when in the night all fell asleep,)
Je vis les cieux devant mes yeux fermés. (I saw the skies in front of my closed eyes.)
Rinoa had gone to confront the Sorceress. It wasn't peaches and cream when it came to this woman.
Edea had been waiting. Waiting a long time.
It was time to give her speech to the world. Rinoa in her trance only caught a few words.
"Stinking… vile… stupid people."
The gargoyles were alive. Their target… Rinoa. At the moment, she was awakened from her trance, only to face danger once more.
Dans le silence j'avais trouvé la vérité, (In silence I had found the truth,)
Comme une fleur qui ressemble à mon coeur. (As a flower which resembles my heart.)
"Mistress… it is time to begin the parade." Seifer was bowed with his head against the floor. He was thankful to be out of the darkness. It only reminded him of his nightmares.
"Seifer, dear little boy… you shall grace us with your presences as well."
"As you wish… mistress." He rose from the position on the ground to escort Edea to the float.
The gates slowly slid open. Upon the float was not only Sorceress Edea, but Seifer as well. Squall would deal with him later… in the mean time… there was Rinoa.
Irvine and Squall made their way to the rooftop. Time for battle. To save Rinoa.
L'air me semblait léger léger (The air seemed to me light light)
Et les couleurs d'une infinie douceur, (With colours of an infinite softness,)
"Mistress, you are sure that they are here?" He was growing impatient. Squall was supposed to be here. Seifer couldn't miss another chance to fight the man he loved to hate.
"Poor boy… he will be here. Do not doubt me." The same straight look graced her face. She looked at the pitiful crowd. "I will crush you…"
Les yeux fermés. (The eyes closed.)
The clock hit 20:00:00. It was now time.
The go round shot out of the roof, along with Irvine, Squall and Rinoa.
The only difference was… Irvine was failing his part of the operation. He admitted to chickening out in times of desperation.
Amazingly, Squall talked him into it. The bullet rang out silently. It's precision was deadly. Yet, it never reached it's target.
In rage, Squall leapt from the rooftop. Finally, he would face Seifer.
Le coeur si pur (The heart so pure)
Qui voit revivre l'espoir, (That is sees the hope reviving,)
"He is coming… Seifer." Edea stood back. Almost gleefully, she watched the two fight. It was amazing. Had she chosen the right man? Of course… Seifer would serve her purpose well.
"I see you've become better. You're still no match for me." Seifer snorted and lunged at Squall. It was an all out physical battle. Squall was silent as always, his movements were that of a determined, enraged man.
Même s'il fait noir (Even if the weather is so dark)
Qu'il semble pleuvoir. (That it seems to rain.)
Seifer was badly wounded, and fell to his knees.
"Pitiful little boy, must I fight your battles for you?" Just as Edea stepped up, Rinoa and Irvine joined Squall.
Now it was the Sorceress' turn.
Et quand dans la nuit tout s'endormit, (And when in the night all fell asleep,)
Je vis les cieux devant mes yeux fermés. (I saw the skies in front of my closed eyes.)
Dans le silence. (In silence.)
She dished out everything she had. "I must… win… mistress… don't hurt me…" It was the end of this fight. Edea felt as if her heart would burst in her chest. She backed down.
"For this time… you win…"
Le coeur si pur (The heart so pure)
Qui voit revivre l'espoir, (That sees the hope reviving,)
Squall was turning to walk away.
The Sorceress was raising her hand in the air.
Three icicles sliced through the silence. Rinoa began to scream.
Même s'il fait noir (Even if the weather is so dark)
Qu'il semble pleuvoir. (That it seems to rain.)
He was tumbling. The pain seared through his upper body. When he thought he could walk away, he found out there would be no walking. Especially not away from her. The last thing Squall saw was the night sky, and Rinoa's brown eyes full of tears.
Et dans le noir (And in the darkness)
On peut voir l'espoir. (One can see the hope.)
