Dare I continue to delve into the minds of these wondrous beings? Well, I will, though I may mess up entirely...

Remember, I don't own these ladies, gentlemen, and monsters, none of all, but don't truly care to try changing that as I would be mowed down in the crowd.





~~Siren~~

Pandemonium is slightly difficult to get to know. He's nice enough, but a bit of a blow-hard. Yes, I realize that I used a bad pun, but it's so true! If even I can say that, then it must be true, right?


~~--~~

Pandemonium almost felt at home in the mind of this youth. He didn't understand why the girl followed the other so blindly, but it would do no good to fight the idea. The girl liked the wind as much as he. But Pandemonium missed the others, and this child, Fuujin, understood. She agreed that if the others called him, he would be released. His opportunity came one day in the town called Balamb when Fuujin and her loud friend Raijin faced a trio of determined youths.

~~--~~

~~Carbuncle~~

Pandemonium is really sweet. He helped those two kids that were in the wrong place at the wrong time figure out where they needed to be. They didn't catch on too fast when he jumped to join us. But they realized fairly fast that they needed to be with their friend, or better yet, they needed to stop fighting on the side they were fighting for.

~~--~~

Pandemonium heard Carbuncle's giggle, and told the girl it was time for him to go. She told him that they would have to make the first move, as the boy with Carbuncle in his mind was her enemy. She paused when Pandemonium told her she should give up and be allies with the boy, as when Pandemonium joined them she and her friend wouldn't stand a chance. Then she quietly agreed that their fight was already lost, but she would not GIVE him away, the others had to make the first move in accepting him.

When the darkest of the three nodded, the blonde grinned and started to attack Fuujin's friend. Pandemonium sat back in her mind, waiting for the others to notice. The tallest of the three seemed to be arguing with himself mentally, so trying to figure out what went on in the boy's mind, Pandemonium reached out. The boy's face registered surprise, and some measure of fear, but Siren, Diablos, and Leviathan greeted him. Pandemonium was surprised at the warmth of Leviathan's greeting. She explained that she'd met her match in icyness, and mentally indicated the dark-haired teen. She also suggested that Pandemonium get the attention of the blonde boy, as she thought he and he would get along well.

Diablos intoned that the dark-haired boy would not put up with egos of any kind, which slightly puzzled Pandemonium, and as he remarked, he had no ego, he was just fine as he was...

~~Brothers (Minotaur)~~

We didn't realize that old Windy was hanging around until the dark-haired mortal carrying us around thought at us. He asked, polite enough if the windy individual was someone we knew or thought was worth the trouble of recruiting. Quezacotl breezily told him that Pandemonium had no self-confidence issues what so ever, but might grate slightly with his own personality. The boy nodded, and informed the blonde mortal to try getting Pandemonium to provide assistance.

~~--~~

Pandemonium was rather shocked by the forward blonde. After all, he didn't wait for Pandemonium to contact him, as was proper when dealing with such powerful entities as himself. The shock must have been communicated, as the boy grinned slightly and mentioned that Shiva and Ifrit figured Pandemonium would be just fine as a mediator in their personal little feud. So Pandemonium decided to help them as they had asked.

Shortly after, Fuujin and Raijin decided to leave. Pandemonium whispered a goodbye to the girl, and then set about adjusting to the boy he'd agreed to help.

~~--~~

~~Brothers (Sacred)~~

AFTER THOSE TWO KIDS DASHED OFF, OUR WALKING, NOT SO TALKING ICE BLOCK ALMOST FRIEND STALKED OVER TO THE SHORT BLONDE. HE AND THE OTHER ONE, THE FLIRTY ONE, CAUGHT THE POOR CHILD JUST AS HED HAVE FALLEN STRAIGHT OFF THE BALCONY OF THE ROOM. AFTER ALL, ITS NOT EVERY DAY YOU HAVE A HUGE EGO TRY TO JOIN YOUR OWN.

~~--~~

Zell blinked madly as the new Guardian tried to push into his mind. All that he could think was that his mind didn't have a gate or a pair of doors for this ego to waltz through. He felt his center of balance erode, and wanted to cry. This egotistical Guardian was gonna get him killed. And he'd thought Seifer had the biggest ego in the world.

As that thought occurred, he felt Squall and Irvine rush to pull him back to safety, and the mind behind the ego winced. Figuring he'd hurt the other mind, and expecting them to want to leave, he prepared to try sending him over to one of the other two.

The mind quickly brushed that idea away, telling him that they'd work things out themselves.

Pandemonium had heard the boy's thoughts of egos, and asked Ifrit and Shiva if it were true. They told him that he'd developed a reputation for having an ego even as far as the mortal realm. Pandemonium decided to work on that, trusting the boy, Ifrit, Shiva, and the others to keep him in line. He also told those in the other two mortal's minds that he would trust them to this job. Amidst their snickering, which reflected on one of other human's faces, they agreed.

~~--~~

~~Pandemonium~~

I never realized that my self-assurance had blossomed into egotism. But once I figured that out, in my usual style, I assumed that I'd done it big. So I, being able to ask for help, did so. They've done a pretty good job, I think. I don't get too full of myself any more. Just when I deserve it.

~~--~~







I think the least heard from Guardians are making noises for me... Pandemonium isn't one of my better liked Guardians, so I think the writing suffered a little, but the story isn't too too bad.
