One Short Breath From Heaven

Mission Of Death



"Irvy-Pooh!" Selphie's eyes lit up, as she saw Irvine. She couldn't help but get all gushy mushy for him. Out of all the girls in Garden, Selphie was the one girl to win him over. Yes, in the past he may have just slept with girls, but now he was different. He devoted himself to Selphie, and she liked saying, "Cowboy Kinneas is mine! Booyaka!" She giggled to herself, as he swept little Selphie into his arms, and placed his cowboy hat upon her head.

"Hey there lil' lady." He said with a wink. She blushed, and kissed him on the tip of his nose.

"Irvy-" She was cut off, as the intercom went on, and she heard Xu speak.

"Will everyone in the Ultimecia battle, please report to the 3rd floor? It's urgent." The intercom clicked off, as Selphie looked at Irvine.

"Wonder what this is about." They both mumbled, as the walked up the elevator.

Rinoa and Squall were in the Cafeteria, getting a real kick out of Zell whining and crying for his hotdogs.

"SOLD OUT!? WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOLD OUT?! I WANT A HOTDOG-NO, 5 HOTDOGS, NOW!" He slammed his fist down on the counter-top, as the lady behind the counter patiently waited until he finished.

"I'm sorry sir, but we are all sold-out." She walked away, as Zell slumped over to Rinoa and Squall's table.

"Damn hotdog ladies." He murmured.

Quistis took a seat next to Zell, as she watched the couple hold hands. Squall would flash a smile every once in a while, and he has opened up so much ever since he had met Rinoa.

They had heard Xu's voice on the intercom a few seconds later, and the 4 of them ran to the elevator, wondering what's up.

Cid paced around his office, quiet nervous and a wreck, seeming as if he's been up all night. As he saw his 6 'children' entered the 3rd floor, a look of worry across every one of their faces.

"Cid. what is it? What's happened?" Quistis asked, taking a step forward.

"There- there had been a mysterious bombing incident in Dollet, earlier today. No one expected it, no one knew it was going to happen; none of them had a clue. It's a mystery. The sad thing is. almost all the people in Dollet were wiped out. A few of Esthar Scientists went in, to go see what had happened. Dr. Odine was there, and here he is, to tell you what he's seen." Cid said, as he sat down, wiping his brow.

"Ze site is a horrible one, to say the least. Bodies litter the streets, voman, and men lay dead. Some of them are blown to bits, some of the people have their faces vide open, mouth agape, green looking veins cover their faces, and in some cases, purple veins. Ve do not know of the cause, but ve hope to find out vat had happened. Ve vant you to send those people vho had defeated Ultimecia. Report to Dollet immediately, ve need your help. Zat is all." Odine's face faded away from the screen, as you could see a look of despair wash over the whole team's face.

The girl's mouth was open wide, their hands covering it, trying not to cry. The guys looked down, appalled.

"Who, - who would do such a thing!" Rinoa gasped out.

"We don't know. and we're sending you guys on a mission to find out. It's very dangerous, and the leader's of the world think it might happen again, since it was so random," Cid said.

All 6 of them nodded, as they walked out of the room, and onto the elevator, ready to get on the Ragnarok..
