"Have you forgotten Squall? I will never forget... not this person" Quistis said nodding her head in shame.

"Spill it Quistis. Why hide it!" Squall yelled.

"Oh! I'm not going to hide this. How can I? He's your rival. The one I will never forget that Rinoa took away from me" Quistis said with a tear.

"Umm... so?" I said.

"So I'm going to kill you for it."

Quistis jumped down from the balcony as if she was flying down. She walked slowly up to us with a sword in her hand. Every step she took on the ground you could see a blue energy releasing as if fire was rising from under her feet. She stopped when Squall got in her way.

"MOVE!! My fight isn't with you!" Quistis said shoving Squall away with the power of her sword.

Squall fell on the ground. I heard his groan. Quistis quickly moved her view on me. Her eyes grew stormy and once again I felt the urge to fight. My eyes turned full black feeling something take control again. My wings appeared and weapons on me. I felt this enormous power over me. Everyone could see the energy around me. Quistis sniffed and nodded her head. All of the sudden Seifer was behind Quistis. Smiling.

"Quistis I'm still yours but I'm afraid to tell you that you can't kill all of them." Seifer said walking besides Quistis.

"Seifer?" Irvine said confused he was siding with Quistis.

Squall got off the floor and drew his gunblade up. Then suddenly Seifer was in front of me with his revolting grin.

"You didn't see me move. I know you didn't. I've enhanced my powers from within. I..." He laughed. "I am GOD compared to you all! But don't worry Rinoa." He suddenly was next to Quistis. As if he teleported but he didn't. "My fight isn't with you. Squall?" Seifer said and turned to him.

"I'll take you on anytime" Squall roared and ran toward Seifer.

Seifer blocked Squall's assault with his gunblade and charged back. Just when I had my eyes on them fighting I got blown to the ground.

"Ugh! Quistis!" I used my wings and flew up into the air.

Quistis flew up to. I had no idea how but it wasn't the time to think. I shot my Blaster Edge and Quistis knocked it away with her arm cutting herself. She charged toward me and I flew away backwards. She couldn't keep up and once I stopped flying backwards she threw a punch at me and upper cut me. I screamed. She was so strong. Since I was holding my stomach I kicked Quistis away as hard as I could and she went straight to the wall. Blood was gushing from behind her. She pulled herself out of the wall and came back for more. She was going to kick my ass.

(Squall's point of view)

I went straight forward to Seifer and attempted to cut off his head, but he was too swift for me. He went behind me and slashed my back. I yelled in pain and turned trying once again to get him. He got away and casted Fire Cross (Shimatsusuken). I used reflect and blocked it. I tried Fated Circle and hit him. I ran to him grabbed him by the throat and picked him in the air.

"I can't wait till I get rid of you!" Seifer got himself to say.

I was going to slam the bastard in the ground but he casted Firaga to my chest. I let him go and took both my hands to hold my chest. I couldn't stop so I went after him with my gunblade and Seifer did the same. Our gunblades collided creating sparks in our face. He moved back and tried a swing at me and I did the same.

"You suck!" Seifer yelled.

He overpowered me and knocked me back. He was going to stab me with his gunblade but I rolled to side. Got my self up and attacked him. His gunblade flew to the side leaving him (finally) defenseless. He ran to the pile of pumpkins stacked at the wall and moved them. Behind the pumpkins were weapons.

"What the fuck?!" I yelled.

(Zell's point of view)

Irvine and I went to check out the bodies. Irvine opened the door and there could have been at least 50 students here. The student's skin looked like it decayed away and blood was all over them.

"Holy shit!" I yelled.

"Help me check if anyone alive" Irvine said. We both checked the pulses of students.

"None over here man" I told him.

"Not here either" Irvine told me.

"DDIIIEEEE!!!!!" Quistis said from behind attacking Rinoa.

"Shit, we should help" Irvine said.

(Rinoa's point of view)

Quistis threw me to the floor and flew to Zell and Irvine. The back of my neck was bleeding from the impact when I got thrown to the floor. I got up and shot my Blaster Edge but I didn't get her. I flew towards her.

"You shouldn't be bothering them if I were you" Quistis said kicking Irvine to the wall. He got unconscious. Zell threw a punch at Quistis but she just flew in the air. I got behind her.

"You shouldn't be bothering them if I were you" I said imitating Quistis's voice in a sluttish way.

I took my blade and stabbed her from behind and she fell on the floor. Hopefully dead. I lowered my self to the ground. My wings folded up and disappeared with my weapons.

"You never liked her did you?" Zell said scratching his head.

I walked over to Irvine to see if he was fine but I really had no idea.

"Help me carry him to Selphie" I told Zell.

Zell grabbed one arm and I took the other. We pulled him to where Selphie was and ran to Squall. Then Squall got blown back on me from tornado that Seifer casted.

"Sorry Rinoa" Squall said getting up and pulling me to my feet.

"Quistis?!" Seifer yelled keeping his machine gun pointed at us. "Quistis you ok?" Seifer yelled again looking around as he backed away from me and Squall.

"I killed her Seifer" I told him.

Seifer started shooting at us but Squall was there to knock me and Zell out of the way. All three of us crawled behind the tables on the floor before the smoke from the machine gun cleared up.

"Dam it! Where'd you go?!" Seifer yelled ferociously and slammed to Quistis.

The three of us crawled behind a bar. We stayed as quiet as we could and then heard "Ughh!! Agh!!!" It was Quistis yelling. She wasn't dead. Seifer was probably pulling out my blade from her.

"Urgg!! Agghh!! Ughh!!!" Came the voice of many.

"Lets check it out" Squall whispered to Zell and I. We peered above the counter and saw the dead people from the janitor's closet energetic! They were moaning like crazy.

"What the fuck!" Zell yelled in a whisper. We got back behind the counter.

"This is going to be a long night" Squall whispered.

"Hey we forgot about Selphie and Irvine" I told him worried.

"I got it. You two crawl out and wait for me at the Infirmary" Squall whispered and crawled out behind a table.

Zell and I listened for a moment to escape.

"They're awakening Quistis! Get up!" Seifer scolded.

"Leave me... to mutate. I can't live anymore as a human! I can't control it!!" Quistis answer back. I heard a slap. "Agh!!" Quistis yelled.

"Stop it! You have to! The alteration is going to be too strong! I can't let you...hey...these students are being reborn and there going to try to kill you because you'll be strongest" Seifer said.

"Reborn?" Zell whispered to me.

"You think they're zombies?" I whispered.

"I don't want to find out" Zell whispered and nodded. "We'll make a run for it. We need them to follow."

Zell got up and I did too. We tip-toed to the exit pretended that they wouldn't see us.

"YOU!! GET BACK HERE!!!" Seifer yelled and ran towards us.

Zell and I ran as fast as we could and took a sharp turn into the bushes. Seifer came out and stopped running. He looked around and headed to the elevators.

"That was close. Let's get to the Infirmary and heal the wound for you." Zell said and he was cleaning off the dirt from the bushes.

(Squall's point of view)

Got up and looked around. The students were living dead. They were already on their feet and took notice of me but walked to slow. This gave me time to get out with Irvine and Selphie. I ran to them and shook them both. They awoke.

"Oh~ my head hurts" Selphie said rubbing her head.

"What happened?" Irvine asked.

"No questions..." I said and put Selphie's arm around me. She couldn't walk I could tell. Irvine watched the androids come at us. "Retard! Move it!" I yelled.

We hurried to the exit but before I left I looked back at Quistis lying on the floor. He body was bouncing up and down and lighting around her body was showing the new energy. She looked like she was being electrocuted. Then she stopped moving. I took that as a sign to leave. We got to the Infirmary. Rinoa was lying on the bed and Zell was looking threw Dr. Kadowaki's cabinets.

"Yo man she only has 3 Potions, a Remedy, a Holy Water and a GF potion!" Zell said.

"Whatever... take what she has. Everybody junction your magic and GFs. The students are regenerating some how and I bet you they'll want to kill us" Squall commanded.

"Yes sir" Zell replied and Selphie fell on the floor.

"Yup... just what I though... I can't walk" Selphie said holding her arms out to Irvine and he picked her up on to the bed also.

"Well then you stay here. Everybody else comes back out so we'll eliminate the zombies and for most kill Quistis. I don't like the idea of what she's going to turn into" Squall ordered and peered out the door of the Infirmary.
