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.

Two more after this (yes, I noticed your comment, Byakko, I am just likely going to leave them for later), then I will see how this settles.



~~Bahamut~~

The rumors of my being the 'King of Dragons,' and the 'King of all Guardians' are greatly exaggerated. For one thing, I am not male.

~~--~~

Bahamut had allowed herself to be captured, as she had thought, foolishly as hindsight revealed, that she would be set to aiding the ones who would battle the time witch. When she awoke hooked to all manner of machinery, she screamed at the top of her lungs in rage. The scientists were surprised that their 'experiment' had the strength for such things. They had thought her drained. Bahamut realized this, and then pretended the drain had begun to affect her, though humans had no concept of her true strength.

She sat and watched as time affected the mortals, and watched as they deemed it necessary to leave the research center. She waited for the day that she would hear the call. That would free her. It never came.

~~--~~

~~Ifrit~~

How could we call her when we did not even know she was missing? How were we to know that the humans had captured her at all? It was as inconceivable to us that she be captured as one of our kind was to be killed. Needless to say, our shock was quite apparent when both came true. When the humans discovered the science lab, neither they nor we expected to find the place powered by one of the strongest Guardians ever.

~~--~~

Bahamut felt the presence of her fellow Guardians approach, mingled with that of a group of humans. At first, she was surprised that they came to her, and then she was consumed by a fiery rage. They had found the humans, and had not called her. In her rage, she called weaker dragons to battle them, and she asked questions of them that only proved to her that the other Guardians were actually within their minds, and providing aid.

Rearing back on her hind legs, and flapping her wings, Bahamut took to the air, and attacked the young mortals.

~~--~~

~~Carbuncle~~

We were confused when Bahamut attacked, she had never before shown signs of anger toward us, but we now understand that she had thought we were going to call her when the children began moving around. She forgave us for our mistake, and provided her aid to the children we are already helping.

~~--~~

Bahamut fully understood that she would lose to the youngsters; she just didn't realize they would defeat her so soundly, so quickly. She had expected the struggle to be fierce, but she had thought they would find her more of a challenge. As she fought them she was surprised to sense how many of the minds of the others the children had.

When her strength gave out, Bahamut spluttered indignantly, realizing that her time as the lab's energy source had weakened her drastically. The leader, strangely, did not behave as most victors. Bahamut was not completely certain as to how to react to such a thing. When the boy had the other Guardians ask her to provide assistance, she skipped past the method of using the others as g-betweens and Junctioned herself to his mind. She found the shock flavor in his mind rather refreshing. Considering that up to that point, all the shocks had been hers.

Squall watched the large dragon rest on the ground after it had admitted defeat. Zell automatically called it male, but something about that didn't seem right. In his preoccupation with such a question, Squall did not realize that the Guardians already in his mind had asked for the dragon's help until SHE Junctioned herself into his skull. Squall's eyes widened drastically, in shock. He'd not been aware that Guardians could do that, though he had been going to ask her for help.

~~Bahamut~~

I have not regretted helping those young humans. I did not think I would. It was sad, though to see how low my sister had sunk. Pet to that creature. I only hope she can recover at some point. I do not truly hate my sister, but I do believe the humans have it right when they speak of sibling rivalry.

~~--~~

As far as the other Guardians that aren't quite... Chicobo, Phoenix, Moomba and MiniMog, I might write stories for them later.... Depending on how much extra time I happen to have.

I got back to playing the game recently so, I can detail a few of the summons more accurately. I also know whom I actually matched up with whom at the end of the game, and I guess I didn't have Irvine at the end after all...
