Chapter 4

The Makings of Evil

"Erin, where to?" Zidane said, looking at Erin, the airship pilot.

"Ispen's Castle, on the Forgotten Continent," Erin said, turning to the wheel of the Hilda Garde 3.

"Just let me know when we are there," Zidane said, going back to the cabin, where they had built, just for them, on their honeymoon.

"Roger!" Erin said, watching Zidane and Dagger go back to the cabin, "good luck sir!"

"Thanks Erin!" Zidane called out, before he went in the cabin door, with Dagger at his heels.

Once they were inside the cabin, Zidane turned to Dagger and kissed her passionately," Well, now we are married."

"Yes, we are..." Dagger studdered.

"Too bad I can't get my surprise, since what is going on with Garland," Zidane said, shaking his head and sitting on the bed.

"Very funny, Zidane, it will be after this little thing," Dagger said, going over to him and sitting on his lap and putting her arms around Zidane's neck.

"Darn, I was hoping for it soon," Zidane teased.

"You will, soon enough," Dagger said, kissing him.

Zidane, being surprised, returned the kiss. He falls down and Dagger climbs on top of him and kisses very deeply. Zidane, not thinking, starts taking off her orange jump suit and grabbing around her butt. "Hmmmm," Dagger muttered between kisses. Zidane moves quickly to the top while Dagger does the same to Zidane. Zidane covers them up as he removes her top and starts kissing down her chest. "Zidane..." Dagger muttered, as he goes back up to her face and kissing her on the lips again. Zidane wasting no time, moves toward her panties. Then he hears a knock and stops.

"Who is it?" Zidane yelled, annoyed at the person who stopped him.

"We are almost at the Forgotten Continent!" Erin yelled from the other side of the door.

"Ok, we will be out there in a few minutes," Zidane called, getting up and handing Dagger back her clothes. "Damn, so close..."

"Yeah, and I was starting to enjoy it," Dagger said, putting back on her top and her orange jump suit.

"If this were the right time, I would have jumped up and punched Erin in the nose for doing that, but this isn't the time," Zidane said, pulling back up his pants, tucking his shirt into his pants.

"Oh, well, tomorrow is another day..." Dagger muttered, putting on her red shoes and looking up at Zidane.

"Yeah, but..." Zidane didn't say anything else except, "Lets go."

"Ok," Dagger said, grabbing her racket.

"Forgotten Continent, here we come, Garland, better leave town....no better yet, leave Gaia!!!" Zidane shouts, going ouside the cabin door and joins Freya and that others.

"Who is going with Dagger and I?" Zidane asks.

"I am!" Vivi called.

"I guess I will, so I can keep an eye on you," Amarant said, going over to Vivi.

"Ok, everyone else, keep this ship going. I will call you if I need ya," Zidane said, going outside the airship and goes into Ispen's Castle.

---Inside Ispen's Castle---

"Garland!!! Where are you?!" Zidane yells.

'I am up at the top of the tower,' Garland's voice went through Zidane's head.

"He's at top of the tower, lets go!" Zidane said, going through the castle, going through all of the traps that Garland has set. "Hahaha, he has nothing on me.." Zidane showboats, going to the top of the tower.

"Welcome, Zidane," Garland said, as soon as he saw Zidane.

"I thought you died, when Kuja kicked you off?" Zidane said, "as the matter of fact, why in the hell is Kuja alive?"

"Because, I didn't die two years ago. I was very much alive," Garland said, "but since Terra was destroyed, Terra won't be brought back," Garland sneered.

"When why are you here in Gaia, especially when Zidane and I are married?!" Dagger asks angrily.

"Oh, you and Zidane, my new Angel of Death, is married?" Garland sounded surprised.

"Shut up, Garland, that bit is over!" Zidane shouted.

"No need to shout," Garland said, shaking his head, "but congradulations, but it will be short lived."

"What do you mean by that?!" Dagger looks at Garland with a piercing glance.

"I am going to destroy Gaia, like Terra was destroyed two years ago."

"I don't think so," Zidane said, looking straight at Garland, "because as long as I am around, it won't happen."

"That can be arranged," Garland laughed evily as a cage came down and trapped Zidane in.

"Garland, you-you bastard!!!" Zidane said, trying to get out and gets shocked.

"ZIDANE!!!" Dagger screamed, and turns to Garland, a firey blaze in her eyes, "why did you do that to Zidane!" she yelled, getting madder by the second.

"Because I need him out of the way to rule Gaia, that is the whole purpose," Garland said, "plus, I am going to earse his memory of you and turn him into the perfect Angel of Death."

Zidane takes out his Ultima Weapon and tries to cut the bars, but gets shocked again. "Damnit!"

"Zidane, there isn't any use of trying to cut or use Trance, they can't be broken. Everytime you touch those wires, you lose your life energies. Hahahaha!!!!" Garland laughed evily again.

"Bastard!" Zidane muttered loudly.

"SHOCK!!!!" a voice yelled, hitting Garland and the cage getting lifted.

"Whoa!" Zidane said, looking at the person who did that.

"Sorry, Zidane, it took me so long!" Beatrix said, standing in battle stance, ready to strike.

"Thank god you came, Beatrix!" Dagger said, hugging her.

"Your welcome, my queen, but first, lets deal with this scum!" Beatrix said, sneering at Garland.

"Hahahahaha! You think you have saved my Angel of Death!" Garland yelled as a huge monster grabbed Zidane and took him away.

"NO!!" Dagger yelled, as he grinded her teeth at Garland.

"Well, Princess, I guess it is time for my departure," Garland said, disappearing.

"No! Don't take...." Dagger voice trails off because of tears.

"We will get him back, my queen," Beatrix said, putting her arms around Dagger, "Lets go back to Alexandria and plan."

"Maybe you are right, let's go back," Dagger said, standing up and walking back to the airship and goes to Alexandria.

"We will plan until we get him back," Steiner said, nodding to Beatrix, "we vow to do that!"

Note: This chapter isn't very big. The reason is because of what has happened. But don't worry, this isn't going to be the only short/long chapter!
