Chapter 4
"Squall! Squall! Please get up! Squall!" Rinoa said in a pleading voice. She was still chained down to the table and the Galbadian soldiers were still bowing down, throwing their arms in the air. "Squall get up, it's me!"
"Uhhh....Rinoa?!" Squall asked, hoping his ears weren't playing tricks on him. "R-Rinoa!" Squall yelled, relieved she wasn't dead. Squall started running towards her. He got thrown back by a force field.
"Squall don't! He put a force field around you, he's gonna' come back any minute!" Rinoa said. Squall ignored Rinoa, unsheathed his gunblade and started hitting the force field, every time he struck, it sent him back, throwing him on the wall. Just then more Galbadian soldiers came in with Quistis, Selphie, Zell, and Irvine. They laid them down next to Squall. They all had chains on them as well, so they couldn't move.
"Uh....W-where are we?" Selphie asked, the first one getting up. "Rinoa?"
"Hey Selphie." Rinoa said, still trying to get free. Seifer then walked in with his dagger in hand.
"Well, I see your up." Seifer said, looking at Squall. Seifer walked over to Squall, who was still trying to break the force field.
"Let me out! You bitch!" Squall yelled, throwing his gunblade at the force field, that would of pierced Seifer's face if it weren't there. Squall got sent back to the wall again.
"You'll be let out soon enough. You'll be the first to see Rinoa's death. You should thank me for getting you front row tickets. I went through all that trouble." Seifer walked over to Selphie and the others. "As for you guys. I'm going to kill you." Seifer walked over to Rinoa and put his hand on her cheek.
"Get off of me!" Rinoa yelled, turning her head the other way.
"Hmhp." Was all Seifer said and drew his dagger.
"Rinoa!!!!!!!!"Squall yelled, trying to break free from the force field.
"Stop right there!" Someone came in saying. Seifer stopped to look at Samuel.
'Samuel?' Squall thought to himself.
"Seize!" Samuel yelled. All of a sudden Seifer was gone and so were the Galbadion soldiers. Samuel ran up to Squall and chanted a spell. The force field was gone. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah." Squall answered firmly, running towards Rinoa. He broke the chains with his gunblade and freed Rinoa. Squall hugged Rinoa tightly. "You alright?" Squall asked, kissing her on the forehead.
"Yeah, I think so." Rinoa buried her head in Squall's chest.
"Wha'!" Zell yelled, waking up from his unconscious state. "Where the hell are we?! Hey Yawl! Wake up, Squall and Rinoa need us!"
"Zell, calm down." Samuel said, letting everyone free.
"What happened? Where's Seifer?" Quistis asked.
"I sent him away, you must hurry and defeat the underworld gods. Seifer will appear any minuet now!" Samuel rushed over to Squall and Rinoa. "Let's go. Everyone else, follow me. Squall, you head left, while we head right."
"Right." Squall held on to Rinoa's hand. "Will Rinoa be joining?"
"No, she will have to come with us."
"But, I want to stay with Squall! I don't to leave his side, even if it means I'll die!" Rinoa yelled, stubbornly.
"Please, we must hurry." Samuel replied, impatiently.
"No!" Rinoa yelled back.
"Rinoa." Squall budded in. "No matter what, I will return to you. I have to. I've made it my duty." Squall took Rinoa in his arms and kissed her on the lips. Squall left after that, not
turning back.
"Let us go!" Samuel yelled, making sure everyone was following him.
*
'Seifer, your definitely gonna' pay. I don't care what I have to do, your goin' down.' Squall thought to himself. He wondered down the straight and narrow path. As he got closer to his 'destination', there was a stench. It got stronger and stronger. 'Am I in hell?' "Huh? What's that?!" Squall continued to run until he realized it was a fire ball, heading straight towards him. He unsheathed his gunblade, but it wasn't enough time. The fire ball cut right into Squall's chest, leaving a bloody, and deep burn mark. Squall fell to the ground in pain. Suddenly, Seifer charged forward, swinging his gunblade at Squall in a circular motion. Seifer stopped the gunblade from turning and aimed it right at Squall's scar.
"Now this looks so familiar." Seifer said, putting his free arm up to his chin. Squall tried to push the gunblade out of his face but Seifer put his gunblade harder on Squall's scar, causing it to bleed. Blood poured down in Squall's face. "Don't even try to move. I've been waiting for a long time to kill you and have Rinoa to myself."
"Go to hell." Squall replied, tripping Seifer with his foot. Seifer fell to the ground, while Squall got back up. He put his gunblade near Seifer's throat. "You know, the difference between you and me?! I get to the point!" Squall yelled as he slashed Seifer on the face, making a
second scar on Seifer's face. It created an x on his face. Squall was about to pull the trigger, but there was pain in his thigh for some reason. He looked down to see blood all over his thigh, where Seifer put a bullet in him, right after he slashed his face. Seifer got up and charged after him. They both fell to the ground. Squall reached up and punched Seifer in the jaw. He punched him again, but Seifer blocked it, squeezing Squall's fist. "Ahh!" Squall yelled in pain. He broke free from Seifer and rolled on top of him, punching him in the face many times. Seifer pulled out his dagger from the back. Squall already saw what he was planning to do and threw the dagger out of his hand. The two bloody men got to their feet, gunblades in hand. They both were tired and breathing hard, sweat poured down both of their face and neck.
"Let's try this again!" Seifer yelled swinging his gunblade at Squall.
*
"So like, where are we going?" Irvine asked, running behind Samuel.
"Back." Samuel kept running, having Rinoa in the front.
"What!" Rinoa said, stopping, almost getting bumped by Samuel. "We can't leave Squall!"
"I'm sorry, but if you want this whole ordeal to go, then we must return to my headquarters immediately!" Samuel yelled. "The gods managed to get onto earth! There in topsity Island, waiting for you. They had a back up plan if you weren't killed the way they wanted."
"Rinoa, you better listen to him, we don't have many options. We have to get rid of those gods up there on topsity Island." Quistis explained, calming Rinoa down.
"I guess so, but as long as we can stay in touch with him." Rinoa said, excepting defeat.
"No problem, I have all the information you need on Squall's progress. Let's get back to my headquarters." They all kept running down the path, further and further away from Squall.
"Sir! Sir! Do you copy!" Someone yelled through Samuel's ring.
"I copy, what is it?!"
"This is William! The underworld Gods found our headquarters! The-destr-ing-t!" William yelled, in the ring, breaking up.
"William, your breaking up, what's happening?!" The ring went dead, there was no response. "William! William! Do you copy?!" There was still no response. "Damn!"
"What is it?" Zell asked, stilling running.
"We must hurry!" They came to a long stairwell. "Stay here." Samuel stood in front of everyone and chanted a spell. They started floating in the air, and onto earth.
"Hey, I thought we were going to your headquarters!" Zell yelled, frustrated.
"This way!" Samuel replied. They came back to the hill in which Samuel
first took them to his headquarters. He chanted again and they were back at his headquarters.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Someone said, running and bumping into Selphie.
"Are you okay?" Selphie asked, helping the short man up.
"Run! Their coming!" The blonde yelled, running as fast as he could.
"Wait!" Quistis yelled to the boy. He kept running. "Man, who are these gods?"
"Psst. Over here." Someone whispered to them. It was William, coming out of his hiding spot.
"William!" Samuel said relieved. They hurried to the dark corner. "What's happening?"
"They found out about our base, I think when I teleported down to the underworld, I created a certain frequency that only demons can hear." William explained.
"Of course." Samuel said, fascinated. "We have to save the rest in here. Everyone, split up and grabbed anyone you find. Meet here if you think you have everyone." Samuel commanded.
"Man! We don't have time for this!" Zell yelled, folding his hands to his chest and facing the other way.
"Go!" Samuel yelled. William and Samuel teleported. Rinoa,and Quistis left.
"Let's go Zell!" Irvine yelled, grabbing Zell and running in front of Selphie.
*
"Well, I'm impressed Squall. Your getting stronger, but you won't beat me. You see, I borrowed strength from the gods. Their so generous." Seifer said, smiling at Squall.
"You talk to much!" Squall yelled, running towards Seifer, catching him off guard. He shot him in the arm causing Seifer to fall to the ground. Squall prepared himself for the final blow. He used Renozuzken on Seifer. He slashed Seifer everywhere. "Say your prayers!" Squall used rough divide and it all ended. Seifer tried to get up, but fell to his knees. He laughed a little
than fell on his side, dead. Squall stood there looking at Seifer for a second, then headed right. He put the ring to his mouth. Samuel! Samuel, do you read?!"
"Yes, Squall is that you?" Samuel asked, on the other end.
"Yeah. Where do I go now?"
"I'll send William down there. He will get you." Squall waited untill William came. When he came, it seemed like forever.
"Let's go sir." William said. He put his two fingers on his head and they teleported out. Sir, your badly injured."
"Yeah." Squall said, deep in thought, ignoring the pain. William and Squall where traveling through dimensions.
"Uh Sir, do you want me to take care of that?" William asked, trying not to get him anger.
"Sure."
"Okay. Just lay down." Squall did as he said.
"Are you sure this is safe? Right now it feels like I'm not even sitting on anything.
"Its okay, where traveling through dimensions, basically, we're in empty space. We should be arriving in any second." Samuel explained, while healing Squall. "When you teleport, its seems
forever, but actually its only a second."
"Oooooh." Squall answered out of amazement. He never was in to that scientifical stuff. They arrived back to their own dimension. It was still a lot of chaos everywhere. "What happened?" Squall asked, looking at people everywhere. This reminded him of when Galbadians attacked Balamb
Garden.
"Lets go Sir. Be careful." William cautioned.
"What's going on?" Squall asked.
"The underworld gods have made their way onto Topsity Island. There after Rinoa." William explained, while running.
'Rinoa....' Squall thought. They ran up to Samuel, who was gathering people and bringing them to the hideout.
"Sir! I brought back Squall safe and sound."
"Alright." Samuel said, heading towards them.
"Where's Rinoa?" Squall asked, as soon as Samuel came up to him.
"She's gathering all of my students and so are the others. Would you like to join?"
"What about the underworld gods, where are they located?" Squall asked, ignoring Samuel's question.
"Their in the city now, it seems that one of them are still in the headquarters."
"How many are there?" Squall asked.
"Five." Samuel started heading back to the chaos.
"Alright, I have to get to Rinoa though."
"You'll have to wait until she comes back to this spot, so you can stay here and rest." Samuel left with William.
*
"Come on! We don't have all day!" Zell yelled, trying to hurry up the crowd he was trying to save.
"Zell! Stop it!" Selphie scolded him.
"What?! I'm tryin' to hurry up! We have to get those gods, remember!" Zell yelled back, pushing a boy in the crowd.
"There's the hideout." Irvine said, directing everyone to get in. The chaos died down. Mostly everyone was safe. As Selphie, Irvine, and Zell put the people and students in safe, they saw Squall sitting down with the crowd.
"Squall!" Selphie yelled, running up to him. She had a hard time getting to him because the place was crowded.
"Hey Selphie." Squall said, wishing it was Rinoa, he was still happy to see his friends. "Do you guys know where Rinoa is?"
"No, she's probably with Quistis." Zell said. "So, you made it out alive, eh?"
"Yeah." Squall said.
"We have to stay here, until everyone else gets back." Selphie explained.
"Well, you guys can stay, I'm goin' to find Rinoa, okay?"
"Sure, just come back in one piece." Irvine said, holding a thumb up.
"Sure." Squall said, holding his thumb up as well. He ran up the ladder, out of the underground hideout. Squall started running straight, not knowing which way to go.
*
"Why won't you die?!" A deep voice asked, getting frustrated.
"Let's just say, you don't want to mess with us." Quistis yelled. Whip lashing the deep voiced creature. The hairy and muscular creature had two horse legs and six human arms. He was really tall, about 8 feet. He had a buffaloes's tail in the back. His face looked that of a lions, with a hairy and thick mane.
"Ahhh!" The creature yelled. "How dare you mess with Gorlock!" Gorlock yelled out, throwing all six of his hands at Rinoa and Quistis. They ducked and moved out the way at ever swing. Quistis jumped in the air unto one of Gorlock's arms. Rinoa ran to the other side of the room, using her pinwheel to cut two of Gorlocks arms off. Green blood poured out of both his arms. "Ahhh!"
Gorlock swayed the rest of his arms rapidly, the pouring blood bleached Rinoa and the stoned walls. His arms were moving so fast, it caused Quistis to fall off, onto the ground.
"Quistis!" Rinoa yelled, running to her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Gorlock used his strong and heavy tail to hit Rinoa in the back. The impact was so forceful, she fell to the ground and spit up blood. Gorlock retreated his tail. He extended his arms longer and grabbed Rinoa and Quistis, throwing them up and down, from the ceiling to the concrete. "HAHAHAHAHA! You helpless, filthy humans!" He kept throwing them up and down.
Each blow even harder.
"Rinoa!!!!!!!!" Squall yelled out, slashing another one of gorlocks arms with his gunblade.
"Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!" Gorlock screamed. He let go of Quistis and Rinoa. They both fell to the ground. Luckily though, they weren't unconscious. "More filthy humans?!" Gorlock yelled, still in pain. More green blood poured out of his arm. Three of his arms were severed. They lied on the ground next to him. Squall kept striking Gorlock until his tail sneaked attacked him. The force threw him all the way to the wall.
"Squall!!" Rinoa yelled, slowly getting up. Before she could run to him, Quistis pulled her back down.
"Don't go. He's going to attack you, the best thing to do is stay down and let Squall distract him, while we go and attack from the back." Quistis laid her plan out to Rinoa.
"Bu-." Rinoa was cut off by Quistis, who was slowly getting up.
"No but's about it. Lets go." Quistis pulled Rinoa along in the back of Gorlock.
"Ha! You weakling." Gorlock said, walking over to Squall. Squall slowly got back up. He defended himself with his gunblade as Gorlock unleashed another arm. Before he could carry out his attack, he was hit by Quistis's whip and Rinoa's wheel pin together. "Ahhhhhhh!" Gorlock winced in pain. 'Now's my chance.' Squall thought to himself. He jumped onto Gorlock's back
with his gunblade and stabbed him on the top of his head, green blood poured all over Squall and his gunblade. He shoved the gunblade in deeper, in turn, killing him. Gorlock fell down on the ground. "I lost! How could I..." Squall jumped down from Gorlock's back.
"Squall!!!!" Rinoa ran towards Squall. He welcomed her with opened arms. They embraced once again. "I thought I was gonna' lose you." Rinoa whispered into his chest. Tears started streaming down her face. "Ahhhhhhhhh!"
"What is it?!" Squall asked, half startled.
"You have green goo on you!" Rinoa backed away from Squall, who was laughing. Quistis joined them.
"We should head back to the others." Quistis suggested. They all ran out of the room. Everyone made it back to the underground hideout. Samuel and William were attending to the injured, while Zell, Selphie, and Irvine helped with the bandages.
"Yo William, why can't you use your healing power to help these people?" Zell asked, wrapping up a boys bloody arm.
"I used most of my healing power to help Squall with his injures." William answered, cleaning many students wounds.
"Look at all these injured people. Who do those Gods think they are?!" Rinoa asked, looking at all the injured people. Samuel walked over to Squall.
"We found out that the Gods are right out that door." Samuel pointed to an underground door. It led down a hallway, to the outside. "You guys can go out through that passage way. I understand that you already killed one?"
"Yes." Squall answered.
"Finally, we can kick some more ass." Zell yelled. Everyone looked at him, including the injured people. Zell looked at them back. "What? Mind your own business."
"Anyway, leave as soon as possible. Oh and, be careful, they are very powerful." Samuel warned.
"I can tell right now that this is going to be a piece of cake." Zell threw his fists in the air.
"Rinoa, you must stay here."
"Why?! Not again!" Rinoa yelled at Samuel.
"I'm sorry, but we can't afford to have you die." Samuel explained.
"Rinoa listen, I don't want to see you die, I want you to stay here and wait for me." Squall said in a soft tone. Rinoa didn't say anything. He laughed at that because he always found Rinoa to be stubborn, it was part of her personality. Rinoa lifted her head.
"I'll wait for you here. Promise you won't die?" Rinoa asked, hugging Squall.
"I promise." Squall let Rinoa go. "Alright, lets decide on teams. Since there's only five of us, we're gonna have to all stay together." Squall walked back and forth. He finally lifted his head after serious thought. "Make sure you watch each others back, including mine. Let's move out!" Squall led everyone to the door. He unsheathed his gunblade and everyone else gathered their weapons, they ran out the door. Samuel shut the door behind them.
"Rinoa, follow me." Samuel said firmly. He turned his head to William, who was still attending to the injured. "Do your best." William nodded. Samuel continued to walk with Rinoa behind him. They walked into an electronic room. It had a bright red light on the ceiling, coloring everything in the room red.
"What is this?" Rinoa asked, awed.
A vacation to remember
Chapter 4
"Squall! Squall! Please get up! Squall!" Rinoa said in a pleading voice. She was still chained down to the table and the Galbadian soldiers were still bowing down, throwing their arms in the air. "Squall get up, it's me!"
"Uhhh....Rinoa?!" Squall asked, hoping his ears weren't playing tricks on him. "R-Rinoa!" Squall yelled, relieved she wasn't dead. Squall started running towards her. He got thrown back by a force field.
"Squall don't! He put a force field around you, he's gonna' come back any minute!" Rinoa said. Squall ignored Rinoa, unsheathed his gunblade and started hitting the force field, every time he struck, it sent him back, throwing him on the wall. Just then more Galbadian soldiers came in with Quistis, Selphie, Zell, and Irvine. They laid them down next to Squall. They all had chains on them as well, so they couldn't move.
"Uh....W-where are we?" Selphie asked, the first one getting up. "Rinoa?"
"Hey Selphie." Rinoa said, still trying to get free. Seifer then walked in with his dagger in hand.
"Well, I see your up." Seifer said, looking at Squall. Seifer walked over to Squall, who was still trying to break the force field.
"Let me out! You bitch!" Squall yelled, throwing his gunblade at the force field, that would of pierced Seifer's face if it weren't there. Squall got sent back to the wall again.
"You'll be let out soon enough. You'll be the first to see Rinoa's death. You should thank me for getting you front row tickets. I went through all that trouble." Seifer walked over to Selphie and the others. "As for you guys. I'm going to kill you." Seifer walked over to Rinoa and put his hand on her cheek.
"Get off of me!" Rinoa yelled, turning her head the other way.
"Hmhp." Was all Seifer said and drew his dagger.
"Rinoa!!!!!!!!"Squall yelled, trying to break free from the force field.
"Stop right there!" Someone came in saying. Seifer stopped to look at Samuel.
'Samuel?' Squall thought to himself.
"Seize!" Samuel yelled. All of a sudden Seifer was gone and so were the Galbadion soldiers. Samuel ran up to Squall and chanted a spell. The force field was gone. "Are you alright?"
"Yeah." Squall answered firmly, running towards Rinoa. He broke the chains with his gunblade and freed Rinoa. Squall hugged Rinoa tightly. "You alright?" Squall asked, kissing her on the forehead.
"Yeah, I think so." Rinoa buried her head in Squall's chest.
"Wha'!" Zell yelled, waking up from his unconscious state. "Where the hell are we?! Hey Yawl! Wake up, Squall and Rinoa need us!"
"Zell, calm down." Samuel said, letting everyone free.
"What happened? Where's Seifer?" Quistis asked.
"I sent him away, you must hurry and defeat the underworld gods. Seifer will appear any minuet now!" Samuel rushed over to Squall and Rinoa. "Let's go. Everyone else, follow me. Squall, you head left, while we head right."
"Right." Squall held on to Rinoa's hand. "Will Rinoa be joining?"
"No, she will have to come with us."
"But, I want to stay with Squall! I don't to leave his side, even if it means I'll die!" Rinoa yelled, stubbornly.
"Please, we must hurry." Samuel replied, impatiently.
"No!" Rinoa yelled back.
"Rinoa." Squall budded in. "No matter what, I will return to you. I have to. I've made it my duty." Squall took Rinoa in his arms and kissed her on the lips. Squall left after that, not
turning back.
"Let us go!" Samuel yelled, making sure everyone was following him.
*
'Seifer, your definitely gonna' pay. I don't care what I have to do, your goin' down.' Squall thought to himself. He wondered down the straight and narrow path. As he got closer to his 'destination', there was a stench. It got stronger and stronger. 'Am I in hell?' "Huh? What's that?!" Squall continued to run until he realized it was a fire ball, heading straight towards him. He unsheathed his gunblade, but it wasn't enough time. The fire ball cut right into Squall's chest, leaving a bloody, and deep burn mark. Squall fell to the ground in pain. Suddenly, Seifer charged forward, swinging his gunblade at Squall in a circular motion. Seifer stopped the gunblade from turning and aimed it right at Squall's scar.
"Now this looks so familiar." Seifer said, putting his free arm up to his chin. Squall tried to push the gunblade out of his face but Seifer put his gunblade harder on Squall's scar, causing it to bleed. Blood poured down in Squall's face. "Don't even try to move. I've been waiting for a long time to kill you and have Rinoa to myself."
"Go to hell." Squall replied, tripping Seifer with his foot. Seifer fell to the ground, while Squall got back up. He put his gunblade near Seifer's throat. "You know, the difference between you and me?! I get to the point!" Squall yelled as he slashed Seifer on the face, making a
second scar on Seifer's face. It created an x on his face. Squall was about to pull the trigger, but there was pain in his thigh for some reason. He looked down to see blood all over his thigh, where Seifer put a bullet in him, right after he slashed his face. Seifer got up and charged after him. They both fell to the ground. Squall reached up and punched Seifer in the jaw. He punched him again, but Seifer blocked it, squeezing Squall's fist. "Ahh!" Squall yelled in pain. He broke free from Seifer and rolled on top of him, punching him in the face many times. Seifer pulled out his dagger from the back. Squall already saw what he was planning to do and threw the dagger out of his hand. The two bloody men got to their feet, gunblades in hand. They both were tired and breathing hard, sweat poured down both of their face and neck.
"Let's try this again!" Seifer yelled swinging his gunblade at Squall.
*
"So like, where are we going?" Irvine asked, running behind Samuel.
"Back." Samuel kept running, having Rinoa in the front.
"What!" Rinoa said, stopping, almost getting bumped by Samuel. "We can't leave Squall!"
"I'm sorry, but if you want this whole ordeal to go, then we must return to my headquarters immediately!" Samuel yelled. "The gods managed to get onto earth! There in topsity Island, waiting for you. They had a back up plan if you weren't killed the way they wanted."
"Rinoa, you better listen to him, we don't have many options. We have to get rid of those gods up there on topsity Island." Quistis explained, calming Rinoa down.
"I guess so, but as long as we can stay in touch with him." Rinoa said, excepting defeat.
"No problem, I have all the information you need on Squall's progress. Let's get back to my headquarters." They all kept running down the path, further and further away from Squall.
"Sir! Sir! Do you copy!" Someone yelled through Samuel's ring.
"I copy, what is it?!"
"This is William! The underworld Gods found our headquarters! The-destr-ing-t!" William yelled, in the ring, breaking up.
"William, your breaking up, what's happening?!" The ring went dead, there was no response. "William! William! Do you copy?!" There was still no response. "Damn!"
"What is it?" Zell asked, stilling running.
"We must hurry!" They came to a long stairwell. "Stay here." Samuel stood in front of everyone and chanted a spell. They started floating in the air, and onto earth.
"Hey, I thought we were going to your headquarters!" Zell yelled, frustrated.
"This way!" Samuel replied. They came back to the hill in which Samuel
first took them to his headquarters. He chanted again and they were back at his headquarters.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Someone said, running and bumping into Selphie.
"Are you okay?" Selphie asked, helping the short man up.
"Run! Their coming!" The blonde yelled, running as fast as he could.
"Wait!" Quistis yelled to the boy. He kept running. "Man, who are these gods?"
"Psst. Over here." Someone whispered to them. It was William, coming out of his hiding spot.
"William!" Samuel said relieved. They hurried to the dark corner. "What's happening?"
"They found out about our base, I think when I teleported down to the underworld, I created a certain frequency that only demons can hear." William explained.
"Of course." Samuel said, fascinated. "We have to save the rest in here. Everyone, split up and grabbed anyone you find. Meet here if you think you have everyone." Samuel commanded.
"Man! We don't have time for this!" Zell yelled, folding his hands to his chest and facing the other way.
"Go!" Samuel yelled. William and Samuel teleported. Rinoa,and Quistis left.
"Let's go Zell!" Irvine yelled, grabbing Zell and running in front of Selphie.
*
"Well, I'm impressed Squall. Your getting stronger, but you won't beat me. You see, I borrowed strength from the gods. Their so generous." Seifer said, smiling at Squall.
"You talk to much!" Squall yelled, running towards Seifer, catching him off guard. He shot him in the arm causing Seifer to fall to the ground. Squall prepared himself for the final blow. He used Renozuzken on Seifer. He slashed Seifer everywhere. "Say your prayers!" Squall used rough divide and it all ended. Seifer tried to get up, but fell to his knees. He laughed a little
than fell on his side, dead. Squall stood there looking at Seifer for a second, then headed right. He put the ring to his mouth. Samuel! Samuel, do you read?!"
"Yes, Squall is that you?" Samuel asked, on the other end.
"Yeah. Where do I go now?"
"I'll send William down there. He will get you." Squall waited untill William came. When he came, it seemed like forever.
"Let's go sir." William said. He put his two fingers on his head and they teleported out. Sir, your badly injured."
"Yeah." Squall said, deep in thought, ignoring the pain. William and Squall where traveling through dimensions.
"Uh Sir, do you want me to take care of that?" William asked, trying not to get him anger.
"Sure."
"Okay. Just lay down." Squall did as he said.
"Are you sure this is safe? Right now it feels like I'm not even sitting on anything.
"Its okay, where traveling through dimensions, basically, we're in empty space. We should be arriving in any second." Samuel explained, while healing Squall. "When you teleport, its seems
forever, but actually its only a second."
"Oooooh." Squall answered out of amazement. He never was in to that scientifical stuff. They arrived back to their own dimension. It was still a lot of chaos everywhere. "What happened?" Squall asked, looking at people everywhere. This reminded him of when Galbadians attacked Balamb
Garden.
"Lets go Sir. Be careful." William cautioned.
"What's going on?" Squall asked.
"The underworld gods have made their way onto Topsity Island. There after Rinoa." William explained, while running.
'Rinoa....' Squall thought. They ran up to Samuel, who was gathering people and bringing them to the hideout.
"Sir! I brought back Squall safe and sound."
"Alright." Samuel said, heading towards them.
"Where's Rinoa?" Squall asked, as soon as Samuel came up to him.
"She's gathering all of my students and so are the others. Would you like to join?"
"What about the underworld gods, where are they located?" Squall asked, ignoring Samuel's question.
"Their in the city now, it seems that one of them are still in the headquarters."
"How many are there?" Squall asked.
"Five." Samuel started heading back to the chaos.
"Alright, I have to get to Rinoa though."
"You'll have to wait until she comes back to this spot, so you can stay here and rest." Samuel left with William.
*
"Come on! We don't have all day!" Zell yelled, trying to hurry up the crowd he was trying to save.
"Zell! Stop it!" Selphie scolded him.
"What?! I'm tryin' to hurry up! We have to get those gods, remember!" Zell yelled back, pushing a boy in the crowd.
"There's the hideout." Irvine said, directing everyone to get in. The chaos died down. Mostly everyone was safe. As Selphie, Irvine, and Zell put the people and students in safe, they saw Squall sitting down with the crowd.
"Squall!" Selphie yelled, running up to him. She had a hard time getting to him because the place was crowded.
"Hey Selphie." Squall said, wishing it was Rinoa, he was still happy to see his friends. "Do you guys know where Rinoa is?"
"No, she's probably with Quistis." Zell said. "So, you made it out alive, eh?"
"Yeah." Squall said.
"We have to stay here, until everyone else gets back." Selphie explained.
"Well, you guys can stay, I'm goin' to find Rinoa, okay?"
"Sure, just come back in one piece." Irvine said, holding a thumb up.
"Sure." Squall said, holding his thumb up as well. He ran up the ladder, out of the underground hideout. Squall started running straight, not knowing which way to go.

"Why won't you die?!" A deep voice asked, getting frustrated.
"Let's just say, you don't want to mess with us." Quistis yelled. Whip lashing the deep voiced creature. The hairy and muscular creature had two horse legs and six human arms. He was really tall, about 8 feet. He had a buffaloes's tail in the back. His face looked that of a lions, with a hairy and thick mane.
"Ahhh!" The creature yelled. "How dare you mess with Gorlock!" Gorlock yelled out, throwing all six of his hands at Rinoa and Quistis. They ducked and moved out the way at ever swing. Quistis jumped in the air unto one of Gorlock's arms. Rinoa ran to the other side of the room, using her pinwheel to cut two of Gorlocks arms off. Green blood poured out of both his arms. "Ahhh!"
Gorlock swayed the rest of his arms rapidly, the pouring blood bleached Rinoa and the stoned walls. His arms were moving so fast, it caused Quistis to fall off, onto the ground.
"Quistis!" Rinoa yelled, running to her.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" Gorlock used his strong and heavy tail to hit Rinoa in the back. The impact was so forceful, she fell to the ground and spit up blood. Gorlock retreated his tail. He extended his arms longer and grabbed Rinoa and Quistis, throwing them up and down, from the ceiling to the concrete. "HAHAHAHAHA! You helpless, filthy humans!" He kept throwing them up and down.
Each blow even harder.
"Rinoa!!!!!!!!" Squall yelled out, slashing another one of gorlocks arms with his gunblade.
"Owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!" Gorlock screamed. He let go of Quistis and Rinoa. They both fell to the ground. Luckily though, they weren't unconscious. "More filthy humans?!" Gorlock yelled, still in pain. More green blood poured out of his arm. Three of his arms were severed. They lied on the ground next to him. Squall kept striking Gorlock until his tail sneaked attacked him. The force threw him all the way to the wall.
"Squall!!" Rinoa yelled, slowly getting up. Before she could run to him, Quistis pulled her back down.
"Don't go. He's going to attack you, the best thing to do is stay down and let Squall distract him, while we go and attack from the back." Quistis laid her plan out to Rinoa.
"Bu-." Rinoa was cut off by Quistis, who was slowly getting up.
"No but's about it. Lets go." Quistis pulled Rinoa along in the back of Gorlock.
"Ha! You weakling." Gorlock said, walking over to Squall. Squall slowly got back up. He defended himself with his gunblade as Gorlock unleashed another arm. Before he could carry out his attack, he was hit by Quistis's whip and Rinoa's wheel pin together. "Ahhhhhhh!" Gorlock winced in pain. 'Now's my chance.' Squall thought to himself. He jumped onto Gorlock's back
with his gunblade and stabbed him on the top of his head, green blood poured all over Squall and his gunblade. He shoved the gunblade in deeper, in turn, killing him. Gorlock fell down on the ground. "I lost! How could I..." Squall jumped down from Gorlock's back.
"Squall!!!!" Rinoa ran towards Squall. He welcomed her with opened arms. They embraced once again. "I thought I was gonna' lose you." Rinoa whispered into his chest. Tears started streaming down her face. "Ahhhhhhhhh!"
"What is it?!" Squall asked, half startled.
"You have green goo on you!" Rinoa backed away from Squall, who was laughing. Quistis joined them.
"We should head back to the others." Quistis suggested. They all ran out of the room. Everyone made it back to the underground hideout. Samuel and William were attending to the injured, while Zell, Selphie, and Irvine helped with the bandages.
"Yo William, why can't you use your healing power to help these people?" Zell asked, wrapping up a boys bloody arm.
"I used most of my healing power to help Squall with his injures." William answered, cleaning many students wounds.
"Look at all these injured people. Who do those Gods think they are?!" Rinoa asked, looking at all the injured people. Samuel walked over to Squall.
"We found out that the Gods are right out that door." Samuel pointed to an underground door. It led down a hallway, to the outside. "You guys can go out through that passage way. I understand that you already killed one?"
"Yes." Squall answered.
"Finally, we can kick some more ass." Zell yelled. Everyone looked at him, including the injured people. Zell looked at them back. "What? Mind your own business."
"Anyway, leave as soon as possible. Oh and, be careful, they are very powerful." Samuel warned.
"I can tell right now that this is going to be a piece of cake." Zell threw his fists in the air.
"Rinoa, you must stay here."
"Why?! Not again!" Rinoa yelled at Samuel.
"I'm sorry, but we can't afford to have you die." Samuel explained.
"Rinoa listen, I don't want to see you die, I want you to stay here and wait for me." Squall said in a soft tone. Rinoa didn't say anything. He laughed at that because he always found Rinoa to be stubborn, it was part of her personality. Rinoa lifted her head.
"I'll wait for you here. Promise you won't die?" Rinoa asked, hugging Squall.
"I promise." Squall let Rinoa go. "Alright, lets decide on teams. Since there's only five of us, we're gonna have to all stay together." Squall walked back and forth. He finally lifted his head after serious thought. "Make sure you watch each others back, including mine. Let's move out!" Squall led everyone to the door. He unsheathed his gunblade and everyone else gathered their weapons, they ran out the door. Samuel shut the door behind them.
"Rinoa, follow me." Samuel said firmly. He turned his head to William, who was still attending to the injured. "Do your best." William nodded. Samuel continued to walk with Rinoa behind him. They walked into an electronic room. It had a bright red light on the ceiling, coloring everything in the room red.
"What is this?" Rinoa asked, awed.
