Foreword- This chapter won't be as long as previous chapters.

Seifer's whole body erupted in light. His sword started glowing blue and his body was a shimmering yellowish-gold color. Rinoa, Selphie, Irvine, and Laguna had to squint because the light was so bright.

"YOU THINK YOU FOOLS HAVE A CHANCE AT EVEN DEFEATING ME!" yelled Seifer in a voice that was not his own, "I AM THE GREAT SORCERESS ADEL! I WILL CRUSH YOU WITH THIS BODY! SEIFER HAS MADE A GOOD HOST! NOW PREPARE TO DIE!"

Cloud gaped. Seifer was a host for a sorceress named Adel. That means he was possessed by her the whole time. Cloud searched Squall's mind for a few seconds.

It made sense to Cloud after he had found the answer he was searching for. The Seifer that Squall knew could only use primitive, worthless magic like Fire and Blizzard. The Ultima spell was much, much too complicated for Seifer to master. Very few people could learn it well. Or at least this is what Squall's mind told Cloud.

All of the sudden there was a huge eruption and a grand flash of light. The light dimmed very swiftly. Instead of Seifer standing there, there was a Woman, a tall unbearably ugly woman. She had hair like snakes, and skin like scales. She reminded Cloud of a medusa type monster.

"So you must be Adel," Travis asked in a calm, but angry voice, "I've heard of you. You are too scared to fight in your own body so you possess the bodies of others to fight in. You are a huge coward."

"Foolish boy! I hold within me the power to level a huge city, like Esthar, in a few mere moments. You would be wise to retreat now while you have a chance." laughed Adel.

"You don't scare me Adel!" Travis said. Cloud motioned for him to shut up because his mouth would get him in trouble.

"Well then foolish boy, let me demonstrate the awesome powers that I possess and lets see if that changes your mind." Adel smirked.

Adel raised her hand and a huge mountain appeared out of nowhere. She pointed one finger at the mountain and a small beam of light erupted from the end of her finger and took off toward the luminous mountain. The mountain exploded violently in a shower of small stones and huge boulders. There was a ton of dust. Travis' plan had worked.

Everyone had started taking off toward the city. Adel had no idea that this was happening until enough of the dust cleared so that she could see they were all gone. She was furious!

"NO ONE MOCKS ME! I WILL DESTROY YOU, YOU FOOLISH BOY! MARK MY WORDS I AM NOT FINISHED WITH YOU YET!" Adel yelled before the vanished.

Cloud and the others were getting pretty close to the city. They would have made it if the dust hadn't cleared and Adel hadn't of seen that they were gone. Adel appeared in front of the group.

"So, you think you can run away from me do you? I'll teach you a lesson." said Adel before she started to transform.

Cloud grabbed out his sword and so did Travis. Rinoa was quickly attaching her projectile weapon so that she could fight if need be. Selphie and Irvine both had their weapons out before Cloud and Travis had theirs out. All of them were in a defensive fighting stance. Yuffie began to transform.

Adel grew horns. Her skin started turning purple. She grew taller and bulkier. Her eyes turned black and emotionless. She hunched over. She now was standing on four legs. She sprouted a tail. After a few minutes of bone crunching sounds and squishes, Adel was finished transforming. She had become a Behemoth.

Rinoa and Selphie gasped. They had only ever read about Behemoths. But what they were looking at right now had no comparison to what they had ever imagined it would be like. Adel roared and Rinoa and Selphie both cringed.

Irvine, Cloud, and Travis weren't exactly afraid but they were still nervous. Adel stepped forward. He let out another horrendous roar. Birds scattered from trees that looked like they were miles away.

"SCAN!" cried out Selphie before anyone knew what was happening. A small screen appeared in front of Selphie's face which displayed the Behemoth's vital stats.

"It's weak against Water and Ice! Use the strongest of these spell that you have!" yelled Selphie. Everyone nodded and looked at her. Adel charged.

Adel took a huge swing at Cloud. Cloud was off guard and the massive blow connected. Cloud slammed into the ground several feet away unconscious. Adel's eyes glowed with evil.

Travis was mad. He lunged at the gargantuan purple beast that was Adel. Adel slashed at him as well. She was much, much faster and agile than he had expected. He slammed into the ground with a loud clunk. His Gunblade landed several feet away from him.

Irvine, Selphie, and Rinoa were horrified. Laguna was also there but he didn't have any weapons with him. The only thing he had were those three GFs. And now that they were unconscious they were no help.

Adel looked at Rinoa, Selphie, Irvine, and Laguna with looked like amusement. They could tell that she wanted to tear each of them to pieces.

Rinoa pointed her hand out toward Adel. "Blizzaga!" a large beam of ice erupted from the tip of Rinoa's hand. Before the beam could hit Adel she sliced it with her claws. The beam diminished in an instant. Rinoa gasped.

Irvine started blasting Adel with his gun. The bullets collided with Adel's skin and ricocheted off. The ground started erupting in small geysers of dirt and sand because of the bullets.

Adel seemed to be laughing. Adel lunged. But before Adel could even get close she was blasted by a huge ball of energy traveling at a high speed. Adel flew into the air and slammed into the ground. Then the thunderbolts came. Adel began to pulsate violently. Then she erupted in a huge flash of light.

After the light died down Selphie and the others saw the people who attacked Adel, Zell and Quistis. Zell used a special technique he called the Blazer Canon. Quistis had used a very powerful version of the Thunder spell, which she created and called, Thungenta.

Adel was stunned. Quistis ran over to cloud and used a Life spell. Cloud regained consciousness almost instantly. He stood up and looked blankly at Zell and Quistis.

"Who are you?" wondered Cloud.

"I am Quistis and this is my friend Zell. We are SeeDs and Headmaster Cid told us to assist you on your journey. He didn't realize, when he first allowed you the two SeeDs of your choosing that the enemies would be this strong. This is why he sent us here to help you. I see that he already sent Travis to help you," Quistis explained.

"We better hurry before she recovers. We need to get into Esthar to get the Ragnarok." Cloud told everyone. Travis now stood up. He grabbed his sword and put it in his holster.

"Good Idea," said Travis, "Let's go."

Before anyone could move Adel started to get up. All of the sudden a beam of light shot Adel. It was a cure spell. Everyone turned to see where the beam had come from... Seifer.

"If you don't defeat her now she'll probably possess someone else! She won't stop trying to defeat you until she is dead!" yelled Seifer as he began to run towards the group.

Travis grabbed his sword and stepped forward.

"I'm not here to fight! I'm here to help! I know where the stone is! She showed me where it was when she had possessed me! I only cured her so that she could actually fight back... how fun is it to fight and kill someone who's defenseless?" Seifer informed the group.

Travis stepped back. "Ok, we believe you. Now let us do the fighting here. We can handle it." Seifer nodded.

Adel's horns began to charge up. Small particles of energy that were in the surrounding energy started getting absorbed into the horns. She roared before sending a huge beam of light at the group.

Cloud lunged forward. His wings and armor appeared instantly. He took out his sword and held the blunt end toward the beam. "Oracle's Inferno!" The sword erupted in flames. Cloud pointed the tip toward Adel and then brought it back and then pushed the blade forward violently. A huge beam of fire erupted from the sword.

The flames and the beam met and created a huge explosion. Both blasts disappeared instantly. The group and Adel all fell toward the bottom of the crater that the eruption had created.

Everyone slammed into the ground. Rinoa, Selphie, Irvine, Seifer, Laguna, Zell, Cloud, and Quistis were unconscious. Travis was fortunate enough to have someone break his fall.

Adel roared. Travis stepped forward. He brought his hand to his face. Then he shoved his hand towards Adel.

"Lion's Rage!"

Two summon spheres spiraled around Travis before joining about 5 feet over Travis' head.

Griever was on his way.
