I really wish I owned the characters, because then they would have to do my bidding........but I don't.
Warning:
A bit more language in this chapter then in probably the rest of the story combined. Oh well......
Enjoy!

"Are you okay?" Evan asked the man, then smiled as the feeling of regan over took his body as well.
"Where the hell am I and what the hell happened?" the man groaned. "And why the hell am I floating?"
"Calm down, Seifer." Quistis said in her instructors voice.
"Why hello, Instructor." Seifer growled with spite.
"You are in D-District Prison in Galbadia. As for why you are here and what happened, I haven't the foggiest clue. But I'm sure that it would be in your best interest if you didn't try anything stupid." She said, and watched Seifer stand, although he was still floating.
"You still never answered why I'm floating." he grumbled.
"Quistis cast Mighty Guard, cause you were hurt and the cell is moving. She figured it was a smart move." Evan replied, which caused Seifer to look over at him for the first time.
"Who the fuck are you?" asked Seifer, quite rudely.
"Evan Brunnard, SeeD level 21, Magical Research." Evan said, smugly.
"And he's your superior. Respect him." Quistis added.
"One question though. If we're in D-District Prison, how did you use your blue magic? I personally saw to it that the barrier was changed so that you couldn't use blue magic." Seifer looked over at the blonde instructor with a glare.
"I don't know. Evan couldn't use his, but I think there was a little surge of emotion that triggered mine." answered Quistis, then Seifer's vision quickly shifted back to Evan.
"You're a blue mage too?" Seifer seemed quite surprised at this realization.
"The only other one." Evan was a little intimidated by the larger man, but tried his hardest not to show it.
"What would they want with 2 blue mages and a knight?" Quistis asked herself as the cell came abruptly to a halt. The door opened and there stood Raven and Crowe. The float spell wore off and the 3 prisoners touched back down to the ground.
"How nice to see you all again." Raven smiled a sick, evil smile that sent shivers down Evan's spine. He was finding it hard to believe that the girl he had shared his home with for the last 5 months was actually the enemy.
"Cut the crap, Raven. Why the hell have you brought us here?" Quistis came right out.
"Ahh, so you do remember me, Trepe." laughed Raven.
"I could never forget someone as evil as the 2 of you." She shot a look that was colder then the strongest Blizzaga spell.
"My dear, we aren't evil." Raven grinned and then Crowe, who's hair was once again back to it's normal black removed the dark sunglasses he was wearing.
"That's right. We're doing what is best for the world." Crowe's voice was lower then his alter egos, and the piercing glance he sent towards Quistis cause Seifer to close in around her.
"Leave her alone Crowe." Seifer growled.
"Tsk, tsk. You seem to forget who is in power now, Almasy. We are no longer under your word. It seems to be reversed now, doesn't it." Both Raven and Crowe began to laugh at Raven's last remark and Evan pulled up to Quistis' other side.
"Look at this, Rave. We got a lovestruck teacher, a washed up knight and a pathetic faggot up against us." Crowe laughed.
"It's a pity your boy toy isn't here right now, Trepe. He was the only one of the three of you who put up a decent fight. Falcon could have learned a few things." Raven was now laughing almost as hard as her brother.
"Where is he." demanded Quistis, determined not to let the tears in her eyes fall.
"You'll find out soon enough." Crowe said, then cast a stop spell on the three of them once more. After the spell had taken effect, Raven walked over and put hand cuffs on each prisoner, then chained all three together at the ankles.
"Esuna." Raven waved her hand over the three and all felt movement again. "I want you to feel as much suffering as possible." She cackled.
"Now, either you guys come with us peacefully, or I'll have to use a couple more spells." Crowe grinned, then the three sighed and began to follow Crowe into the other room, Raven bringing up the rear. Quistis and Seifer both knew this room quite well. The torture room. Crowe opened the door, while Raven pushed the three into the room. The only thing going through Quistis' mind was that Zell was dead, his body laying there, waiting for her to come see all the ways he suffered before he died.
Quistis eyes darted around the room and fell to the opposite wall. There was Zell, gagged and unconscious. His shirt had been ripped off and over his muscular bare chest there were red marks scarring the tanned flesh. To Quistis, the injuries looked suspiciously like they had been made with a ....
"Doesn't your Save The Queen make beautiful scars?" Raven whispered into Quistis' ear.
"Just let him go! Hasn't he gone through enough suffering?" Quistis exclaimed, feeling the hot tears finally pour down her cheeks.
"Not until I get what I want!" Raven yelled, causing even Crowe to jump a little.
"And what might that be Raven? You want a little ride on the Seifer Express? Oh, I forgot. You wouldn't know a dick if it hit you in the face." Seifer growled.
"Shut up, Almasy. But I'm sure you and Evan can trade your pro dick pleasing tips later. Maybe if I stuck the 2 of you in a cell together, one of you may get some action." Raven spat.
Quistis immediately turned her head in Seifer's direction. "Seifer? You're gay?" she asked.
"Here's not the time nor place to be discussing my sexuality." He glared at Raven who just smiled back as if she was a school girl revealing another's middle name.
"What do you want, Raven?" Evan said, his voice defeated, his head hung low.
"Just telling you right away isn't as much fun as telling you what's on the line first." Crowe laughed.
"Just stop with your fucking mind games and tell us what the fuck you want!" Seifer yelled. It was bad enough that he was kidnapped and brought here to D-District, but he was stuck with not one, but now 2 of the old 'Orphanage Gang', both which had their own reasons to hate him, but the worst of it was that he was being held captive by his one time second in command from when he had taken over Galbadia Garden.
"In due time, you damn bastard. " Raven growled, than walked back over to the group of three prisoners. "First wouldn't you like to know the grand prize if you choose to help? Or maybe even the concequences if you don't?"
"Just get on with it, bitch." Evan spat. The hate he felt rising towards her about to break loose.
"If you agree to do what we want peacefully, pretty boy up there is released into the desert. If you argue, he will be killed in front of your eyes." Crowe said, his voice never wavering as he pointed to Zell.
"Zell!!" Quistis screamed, franticly. Tears stained her cheeks as the blond still showed no signs of movement.
"What do we have to do?" Seifer answered for all of them, his head hung low.

To Be Continued....
Thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter! It gave me such inspiration that I had to thank you all with another chapter and I know this one is a lot longer then most of my other ones. A little way of saying thanks. So I finally brought Seifer and Zell into it. *Sighs happily* Thanks to Jake for the "Ride on the Seifer Express" joke, even if it wasn't funny, I told you I was gonna put it in there. And to Lady Yuskreven, yes in the game Squall's eyes are gray, but you may have noticed that I have been changing them to green everytime he has an attack. After the last attack they didn't change back and I will explain why in future chapters. Well, I should get back to what I was suppose to be doing, (darn housework) but I promise that if I get another response from this chapter like I got from last chapter, I will have the next one out fast too! Love and Cookies!
