My triumphant return! Everyone excited? Good. Now I still do
not own Squaresoft or their characters, because I am still not rich, and I
still don't have husky named Sprinkles.
Chapter 3: I have no idea what to call it
Esthar was in sight, thank Hyne, it had only taken a half hour but it seemed like forever. Quistis pressed a button on the console, right next to a screen. A man in a very odd outfit appeared on the fuzzy monitor. She recognized it as Kiros, Laguna's right hand man. He smiled dimly at the sight of her, which was odd because there was usually an overwhelming welcome from the palace officials.
"Hello Miss Trepe," Kiros spoke in a dull voice. Quistis figured that this meant he wasn't under the spell, or else he would be ecstatic to see her. She couldn't be sure though.
"Kiros? This may sound a bit odd, but has anything bad happened to you in the past year?" if he was under the spell he would naturally say no. To her surprise he looked quite a bit taken back.
"Your not under the spell are you?" he asked in a hushed voice. Quistis breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, and neither are you I see," she paused, "What about everyone else?"
"Esthar was the only city that wasn't effected by it," he informed her, "But we have to play her little game any time somebody from, well, anywhere else comes here. It's like everyone is connected to what caused it, and we constantly have to be on guard."
"You mean you don't know who cast the spell?"
"No, at first we suspected Rinoa, but she couldn't possibly do that, she is perfec-" he realized what he was saying, "Maybe we were effected a little bit...We just didn't...That means...Are you close? Who's with you? Squalls there right?"
"Umm, no, not quite Squall, but I have the next best thing," she was hesitant to tell him, nobody anywhere liked Seifer to much.
"Like....?"
"Seifer Almasy" she said quietly. Kiros's expression dropped, it was obvious that he hadn't forgotten the terror Seifer had reeked.
"The evil sun of a bitch who killed all those people? You can't be serious Quistis! He's scum, he's demented, he's..."
"Listening to every word you say," a voice came from the entry was to the cockpit. He looked very tired, and fatigued, but at least he wasn't happy as hell.
"Ummm, yeah damn that uh person who isn't Seifer..."
"Nice try, what's up?" he asked sitting in the passengers seat.
"Esthar isn't affected by the spell," Quistis informed him. He ever so coolly nodded, then smirked. Was it her imagination or was Seifer putting on an act for Kiros?
"So you two dock quickly, Rinoa will most likely suspect your visit. Once you get here we can fill you in on our." Kiros stopped talking as he noticed Seifer's expression. He looked suddenly horrified and in disbelief about something.
"What?" Kiros asked flatly. Quistis looked at Seifer ten to where he was staring, and understood.
"You haven't destroyed it?" Seifer sounded rather angry, but he did not raise his voice.
"Destroy what exactly?"
"The Lunatic Pandora or Tears Point!" he suddenly burst from his chair, "Of all the idiotic things not to do! Don't you realize that thing almost destroyed your city, brought back Adel, and can do so much more to harm the world?!" The ominous piece of architecture, still hovered above Tears Point, and was not that far from them.
"Well we thought we could use it to our advantage.Wait, what else could it do?" Kiros suddenly became very cautious in his tone.
"I don't remember all of it, a lot of my memory got wiped, but there is a hidden wing on that thing that holds something horrible.Hyne what was it!" He closed his eyes in a fury, desperately trying to remember what was so dangerous, and suddenly it hit him. His eyes sprang wide open, and he flopped back down into the seat.
"Seifer what is it?" Quistis asked very quietly.
"Hyne," he repeated, "Okay here's the thing; the wing has one main chamber, and when a sorceress is placed in this chamber, Tears Point is activated to create a Lunar Cry."
"But, there was just one, surely there aren't any monsters left." Seifer was interrupted by Kiros. Seifer sighed in frustration, everywhere he went people just didn't want to listen to him.
"Yes, that is true, so instead of it raining monsters, it will take the energy of the Lunar Cry, and direct it to whoever is in the chamber. Considering that a normal human being would be instantly killed by the force and sheer magnitudes of power, who do you think is in there?"
"A sorceress," Quistis answered in a whispery tone. It was all making sense, Rinoa had never wanted to help the world with that spell, and she just didn't want anyone in her way. One thing was for sure, if Quistis every got the opportunity, she would kick Rinoa's ass without hesitation.
"So the sorceress, obviously being Rinoa, would want to be the person in there," Seifer sighed again, and rubbed his brow.
"You two better get here quickly, we have a lot to figure out, Dr. Odine will have some explaining to do. Over and out," after speaking, the screen went black once more. There was a brief silence.
"So, what do you think happens once a sorceress absorbs the Lunar Cry?" Quistis asked leaning back in her seat. Seifer looked at her and gave a small smile, which frankly surprised her.
"My guess it, we are either saved or screwed. No matter what happens, Rinoa won't live through it, because either the force will kill her, or we will,"
"Wait, who said anything about killing her?" Quistis was obviously upset, she might not have liked Rinoa of her own free will, but they were still friends at one time.Sort of.
"What do you think will happen Quistis? We defeat her, and lock her up? She is a corrupted sorceress, there isn't any other way," he looked away from her and to the floor.
"We could seal her powers like they did for Edel," she suggested, but Seifer just gave a chuckle.
"And looked how well that turned out," he reminded her.
"Seifer, I thought you of all people would understand." he cut her off.
"Trust me I do understand, but sometimes, you gotta look at the big picture, Quistis."
"And you're a pro at that," she struck back, but immediately she knew she had gone too far. His expression became one of anger and sadness. "Seifer, I'm sorry, I wasn't."
"Forget it, your right," he got up and left the cockpit. Quistis leaned her head back, this time it was her turn to sigh.
"You sure have a way with words Quistis," she told herself as the ship landed on the terrain of Esther.
So, how was my return? I didn't want to do anything major my first chapter back, I wanted to see the response. Maybe if I get enough reviews, I'll put in some romance, because I am ever so fond of it. Well r/r or else.
