Chapter2: Confrontation into Darkness
"What?!!! I can't kill Rinoa!" Quistis stood up now and faced Seifer. "Rinoa wouldn't do that anyway!" Seifer sighed.
"Quistis your living in the Facts of Life world again or whatever, listen you may be Rinoa's friend but only after she put the spell on you!" he hated what Rinoa had Quistis thinking, sure Quistis was out of the spell but that doesn't change what she thought of people.
"But...How do you know all of this?" she put her hands on her hips.
"I...I just do okay," he didn't seem to keen on the subject.
"How?!" he didn't answer her he just crossed his arms and looked down. "Hyne you haven't changed at all have you?! I was wrong when I said that your still the insensitive fucked up lapdog that you have always been!"
"That isn't fair!!" he yelled back. Quistis looked at him surprised, she had never seen him yell that way. In fact she had never seen him yell well when he didn't have to anyway. Seifer had always been calm but so arrogant you would think that he would yell all the time, but no he didn't.
"How isn't that fair?" she lowered her voice, Hyne she didn't want to continue this argument but what was she supposed to do, let it go?
"You have no idea what happened, I never wanted to be the lapdog, I never ever wanted to become that...That thing, that utter mutation of a human being because you know I wasn't a human being!" he turned his back to her.
"What do you mean you weren't a human being?" this was getting past the Rinoa thing but this was obviously something that Seifer wanted her to hear even if he didn't know it consciously.
"I mean that Ultimecia took control of me just like Matron. Ultimecia was so evil so wrong that she wasn't human she was a demon I swear it, the things she did to make me give into her..."
"Seifer I'm really sorry that all of that happened to you but we can't kill Rinoa," she wanted to hear what he had to say but this was getting to be to much for Quistis, even more for Seifer.
"We have to do something, because if this power over everyone corrupts her, like it did Ultimecia then we won't be able to stop her, she doesn't only have Matron's powers but she has Adel's and that is seriously evil," he paused. "And if she does what Ultimecia did to me to anybody...Its just not right Quistis, its just not fucking right.
"Alright Seifer, lets try to talk to Rinoa before we jump to those kind of conclusions," she suggested.
"Fine we'll do it your way," he laughed obviously trying to lighten the mood.
Hell I can't do this alone and we both know it."
"Okay lets go," she motioned him to follow her up the stairs and to the Ragnorak. Seifer liked the Ragnorak the minute he saw it, it looked strong but sleek at the same time.
Quistis sat in the cockpit and Seifer took a seat next to her. She pressed the auto pilot to Balamb.
"So we need to have a plan...I mean we already have a plan but..."
"A plan is only as good as the details," he quoted her exact words from the first time he had ever taken the SeeD field exam.
"Good memory," she was surprised that he could remember that after all he had junctioned GFs during his training.
"I already thought of a plan, we go in their pretend to be perfect little angels and then get Rinoa alone and 'talk' to her," it seemed like he had it all figured out.
"I'm impressed," she raised her eyebrows, Seifer turned to her.
"How so?"
"Well I'm just surprised that you thought of that, it is actually a good plan," he smiled and made a little sound to indicate sarcasm. "No no no no I didn't mean it that way I just meant that it showed real leadership!"
"Me a leader huh? Well I can see that, President Seifer Almasy," he made an arrogant tossing of his hair and laughed.
"You have no idea how good it is to talk to somebody who doesn't act like a mindless drone. When I first got out of the spell I didn't really grasp it but looking back whoa scary," she laughed.
"You seem pretty happy considering the circumstances...You aren't under the spell again are you?"
"Dear Hyne no, its just I know that Rinoa will see our point, she is a reasonable person...Besides most people who don't know me think I'm all stuffy," she crinkled her noise.
"I know I hate it when people talk about you like that, I think besides being pretty moupy, that you are funny I mean how many times have you finished people's..."
"Sentences!" they both laughed a little. "But it is hard sometimes, I mean you were right it's hard being all alone. It's not like you just meet your soul mate during some dramatic thing, that's only fantasy," there was a puzzled silence for a few seconds.
"Actually.."
"Don't even say it," she said quickly.
"But don't you wish that what happened to Squall and Rinoa happened every day and that it wasn't so unusual?" he asked.
"Love is over rated Seifer...Highly over rated...An yes I admit that it would be nice to feel that way for somebody but the truth is some people just aren't meant to fall in love...Like me," she spoke the last words quietly.
"Oh come on Quistis you'll find somebody you just have to be patient," he argued.
"Practice what you preach I have never seen you patient about anything."
"Listen your a great person, you'll definitely find somebody, he is probably right in front under your nose!" he didn't really realize what he had just said but luckily neither did she.
"How did we get into this conversation anyway?" she mused, talking about love with Seifer Almasy was something that she happened to find very amusing.
"I honestly don't know," they both laughed, semi nervously but soon they saw the shores of Balamb come into view and they landed close to the garden and made their way into the facility.
"Remember smile, we're perfect," he said sarcastically.
"Oh shut up," she hissed as she too smiled. "Hopefully Rinoa is in Squall's office."
"I don't think there will be any need for that," he made a slight head motion to the left and there was Rinoa of all people. "Its now or...Later."
"Rin!" Quistis called as cheesily as possible.
"Quistis!!" Rinoa ran up to the two. "And Seifer..." her voice lowered a little bit as she said his name.
"Its nice to see you Rinoa," he gripped his right hand hard with his left hand behind his back. He admitted it Rinoa was a bitch in his mind and that was that.
"Listen Rinoa can we talk to you in private...About readmitting Seifer you know how difficult Squall can be sometimes," smooth as ice.
"Sure," Rinoa said as perkily as possible. "How about the second floor classroom?" they nodded and followed Rinoa to the elevator and proceeded to the classroom. Quistis locked the door and stopped smiling along with Seifer.
"Rinoa we have a few things to discuss with you," Quistis said calmly.
"R...Really, such as?" she tried to hide her nervousness, it wasn't a whole lot Quistis didn't smile.
"Like why you put the whole fucking planet under a spell," so much for calmly discussing things.
"W..What are you talking about?" she was giving the innocent act.
"Don't give us that, we aren't under your spell," Seifer intervened.
"But how? Unless magic..." Seifer interrupted her.
"It doesn't matter all that matters right now is that you take the spell off, you can't toy with people like this!"
"I made the world better!! I single handedly stopped war and] hatred and oppression!" she disagreed.
"By having people be your slaves?!" Quistis shouted.
"They aren't my slaves!!" she shot back.
"They may not be your slaves but they are your puppets, they don't have any opinions and are missing half of their emotions its not right Rinoa and you know it!" Seifer took a step closer to her.
"It has to be this way!! It was my fault that all of this happened and I don't want it to happen again!! Things will stay this way and that is that!" her eyes started to glow as she began to cast the 'Perfection Spell' on them again.
"No!" Seifer covered Quistis protectively and took the blast of energy containing
the spell. He cried out in pain.
"What? Why doesn't it work on you Seifer?!" Rinoa stopped and stared puzzled at him. He was shouting in pain as the spell ran through his body pulsating in his head. Usually a spell doesn't hurt but if your somehow immune to it you feel the power of the magic physically. Rinoa then realized it. "Edea..."
"Seifer!" Quistis said in a concerned voice. "Common we need to get out of here," she helped him stand up and put his arm around her shoulders to support him. Quistis unlocked the door and ran out having it shut behind her.
They made their way to the elevator and Seifer leaned against the rail, his hands on his forehead.
"Are you alright?" Quistis asked very concerned.
"I'll be okay..." he didn't look up at her he just held her eyes shut trying to block out the pain that was lingering.
The door opened and the stepped out of it ran down the stairs and out the Garden to the Ragnorak.
"This can't be," Rinoa said looking hostile and angry. "Edea...I guess you were more of a threat then I thought...How could you do this!!!" she screamed but then laughed coldly. "Its alright they cant stop me and if they do...HahahaHAHAHA!"
As the Ragnorak took off they could see clearly the glass of the second floor classroom shatter.
"I didn't think Rinoa could be like that," Quistis mumbled. "Seifer are you sure your okay?"
"Yeah...We need to go to Esther, hopefully all their technology was able to block the spell," he walked a few steps forward but stumbled as the pain was still running through him. Quistis caught him .
"You need to rest, we won't be too long I'll set the jets to full power...You get some rest," she led him into a room that looked like an infirmary. It was a good idea that she had gotten one day. Quistis helped him onto the bed.
"Thanks Quistis..."
"Go to sleep," she walked out the door and into the cockpit setting the auto pilot to Esther.
