"It's so quite in here." Irvine whispered as the foursome walked down the seemingly empty hallway.

"This is a little too easy. They had us guarded like criminals before. I'd think there would be some harder traps or something." Zell replied, a little confused. They had yet to see another human as they made their way down through the winding underground passage.

"I can't believe that the old missile base has been a base for some wacko operation. And we don't even know who is all behind this. They could be some 50 foot tall overweight orange with blue polka dotted muskrat with a kiwi birds head who eats SeeD's for breakfast and heroes for dessert. Or it could be a power hungry GF trying to rule the world. And that may be the best of it. " Irvine rambled, throwing his hands into the air.

"Would you shut up?" Squall asked, being as cold as ever. There was something about this place that felt completely wrong to him. Every step he was taking, he could feel the magic flowing through his veins like it had never done before. It was growing to new heights and even Squall knew he should fear it. Falcon was being no help at all; making no other movements other then those needed to walk.

Irvine finally shut up with his absurd accusations of who was behind it, but was now going on about how much guns and women mean to him. It was beginning to get on Squall's nerves and one more peep out of the Galbadian cowboy would push him over the edge.

"Well, now that Quisty and Zell are together, the only one we really need to find some one for Squall. I know a really cute blonde named Ali in Deling City that would be perfect for ya." Irvine said, continuing to walk along as if they were at home in the Garden.

"ENOUGH!" Squall screamed, then turned around and cast Blizzara on the copper haired SeeD.

"Squall?" Zell asked, turning to see Irvine trapped in the icy crystals. Squall then turned around and cast sleep on Falcon.

"I'm sorry, but I can't handle these 2. Irvine's incessant rambling has been urking me since Selphie came back and told us that there were no guards around." Squall huffed.

"But now you've blown your cover. Unless you're gonna tell him that you're Hyne's son, you aren't gonna get away from this with out questions." Zell replied. Most of his usual charisma and spunk was no longer noticeable , the fact that he was a prisoner, then watched his girlfriend drain herself trying to save him was too much for the exuberant blond to handle.

"I think they'll figure it out soon enough. This battle is not going to be easy." Squall replied, waving his hand it thawed Irvine and woke Falcon up.

"Whoa, what the hell was that for Squall?" Irvine was surprised not only that Squall had frozen him, but that it had taken so little to push him over the edge.

"I told you to shut up once. I will not ask you again. Next time it will be something more powerful then a mere blizzara." Squall glared a typical Squall glare.

"Hyne, what has gotten into you? You're easier to piss off then ever before, you didn't even bring your gunblade, knowing that we are more then likely going to have to fight something or someone. On top of that, Ellone barely left your side since you barg ed into the meeting. Something is totally wrong around you and I don't think you can blame it on the lack of sex any more." Irvine grumbled.

"And I think you should mind your own fucking business. If you haven't realized, we are on a mission. You are to act with the utmost professionalism, and you have yet to do that." Squall replied. As he turned away from Irvine and then began to walk away, as if nothing had just happened.

"Zell, you're his best friend. Do you know what the hell is wrong?" Irvine asked the blond martial artist in a hushed voice.

"It's his business to tell you. I already told you that on the Ragnarok." Zell sighed, then headed, pushing Falcon along, in the direction Squall left in.

Irvine shook his head in defeat, then took off after the other three. He soon came upon them, standing in front of a huge metal door.

"Well, we could always infuse flare into the door and blow it up." Zell replied, looking at the hinges.

"Why? What's happening?" Irvine asked as Squall walked over to the wall and leaned against it with his arms folded across his chest.

"Trying to find a way into the room." Zell replied.

" Why don't we climb into the air vents and just get on the other side." Irvine suggested.

"We don't know what's on the other side. And we don't even know if the air vent would allow us access to that room." argued Zell.

"Fine then. Well, I could always load up some demolition ammo and blast into the room."

"Or I could do a heel drop on the hinges to break them off."

"Wait, I have a better idea." Squall sighed, then walked over to the two pondering SeeD's.

"Sure. We're all for idea's right now." Zell said, then watched as the brunet sorcerer walked up to the door and looked at the handle.

"Why don't we try to turn the handle." Squall rolled his eyes, then turned the handle, finding the door unlocked.

*************

"You bitch!" Raven screamed then looked over towards the murderer of her brother.

"It was a small price to pay for respect. And if you don't want to share the same fate as your twin, I'd start to treat me as I should, and close your mouth." Rinoa's mechanical voice spat.

"I am no longer your servant, Ayana! I will no longer take orders from you!" growled Raven, then pulled Crowe's hand guns out from the holsters around his waist. "Crowe was my brother and your son. You shall pay for his death!" and with that Raven began to open fire on Rinoa. Bullet after bullet hit the brunette, but no matter how many times she was hit, no blood ran from any of the wounds.

"Man, that is one fucked up family." Seifer mumbled as he and Quistis watched on with amazement. Quistis nodded, then gasped.

"Squall is here. They are right out side the door." She spoke to Seifer telepathically, as Raven screamed, still not stopping the onslaught of bullets on her mother.

"How the fuck?" Seifer looked at Quistis, then as if planned, the door on the other side opened, and there stood Zell, Squall, Irvine and a bound Falcon.

Raven paid no attention what so ever to the new comers, but continued to shoot Rinoa until she ran out of bullets. Still no blood came from Rinoa's body.

"Foolish child. Do you not realize that I am not so easily killed?" Rinoa's body laughed.

"We're up against Rinoa?" Irvine muttered. " I think I would have rather faced the 50 foot SeeD eating monster."

"It's not them you want, Ayana!" Squall yelled, causing Rinoa's body and Raven to look over in their direction. The first thing Raven noticed was Falcon. So he was alive. Ayana had told her that he was dead.

"Ah, just who I was waiting for. Squall Leonheart. Son of the President of Esthar." Rinoa's body laughed again in the mechanical voice.

"What does Squall's father have to do with this?" Irvine yelled, then loaded some pulse ammo into his gun. Taking aim, Irvine was set to shoot at any moment. Zell also took up an offensive position while Squall just stood there.

"Everything. You see, Laguna Loire dethroned my sister. If it weren't for him, I would be the ruler of Esthar. And that's the way it should be!" Ayana grinned through Rinoa.

"I don't think so, bitch." growled Zell.
