"If you use that, you will be releasing your guardian from its tangible form. He will never come at your command again." Squall said, walking over to the blue mage.

"I'm aware of that, but I feel that I need to use it right now. These people were my friends." Evan said, looking over to the bodies of Falcon and Crowe. The thought of them dead was almost too much for Evan to handle. He was barely keeping it together. Tearing his eyes away from his friends, Evan looked up to the emerald eyes of Squall with a look of pleading. Squall simply nodded then walked back over beside Ellone.

"As you wish," Squall said, then Evan got up off the floor and held the feathered item in his hand. Looking at the multi-coloured feathers on the pinion, Evan knew that there was no other choice.

"Rebirth Flame!" Evan said with all his might and watched as the item began to rise off his hand and hovered in mid air before combusting into flames. Evan stared at the vanishing item as the ashes fell to the floor, but no mythical bird came. "Wha?" stuttered Evan.

"What happened?" wondered Seifer as a look of complete and udder confusement took over Evan's freckled face.

"I don't understand." panicked Evan. "Why didn't it work?" As the final words left Evan's mouth, he felt the world around him disintegrate, and everyone watched in aww as the fiery bird swooped down from thin air. Looking at each of the people in the room, the colourful bird caught the eye of one in particular.

Squall once again stepped forward and as if in mutual thought, the bird bowed its head down to the sorcerer.

Squall nodded, and then the gigantic bird turned and saw why he had been summoned. Seeing the bodies lying on the ground beside the stairs leading to he throne, the phoenix knew what he was to do.

A golden light began to shine from the colourful wings, and the 2 bodies that were laying on the ground then began to float off the ground. It looked like the 2 were going to be resurrected, but just as they looked like they were breathing again, the 2 bodies fell to the ground and lay more lifeless then before.

"Falcon?" Raven asked, very hopeful. The phoenix disappeared and then Evan stood, out of breath where the giant bird was just hovering.

"Did it work?" Evan questioned, out of breath. Raven ran over to her lover, and checked for a pulse. Not finding one on Falcon, she then turned to her brother, but again didn't find any sign of life on him either.

"No. But thank you for trying. Some people choose to die, and can't be brought back. Both of them sacrificed themselves for me, so I should be proud of them, not sad for them." Raven said, her head hung low.

"Pathetic fools!" A voice came from behind the group." You thought you could kill me that easy?!"

The group of people then turned around only to see Rinoa's dead body floating in the air, blood running out of every wound that had been inflicted in the last couple battles. The red liquid began puddle on the floor, creating a pool on the tile beneath her.

"But….But we killed you!" Zell exclaimed, not believing his eyes.

" You may have killed my pawn, but I am not so easily killed." The mechanical laughter rang though the hall.

"Well, then Miss Bitch of the year, tell us how the fuck to kill you." Seifer sneered.

"You are pushing your limits, knight." Ayana growled, then reached her hand up towards Seifer. " This girl might be dead, but I am not. I still have the power to kill you!"

"Over my dead body!" Quistis screamed, then ran over and threw herself onto Rinoa.

"Quistis!" Zell screeched, seeing his girlfriend flying across the room. Irvine rushed over and held the little blond back. They both knew this was something Quistis needed to do on her own.

The 2 girls fell to the ground, both now covered in Rinoa's spilling blood. Quistis struggled against Rinoa, the brunette trying to reach her arm out to perform the deadly attack.

"You should stop trying, you stupid blue mage. I am too powerful for you, even in this wretched body." Rinoa's lips moved but the foreign voice still was coming out of them.

"Never. Call. Me. Stupid." Quistis speech was broken, as her breath was short. She then pushed a hand into Rinoa's stomach where Seifer had sliced the girl earlier with his gunblade.

"Quisty? Don't you remember me? It's Rinny." the fake voice said, trying to redeem it's self.

"Degenerator." The words came out of the blonde's mouth void of any emotion as the spell left Quistis' body and began to eat Rinoa from the inside out.

"Quistis!" Zell screamed, finally breaking free of Irvine's grasp. He ran over and pulled the blood covered blonde out of the time void just in time to see the dead body of the enemy swallowed into the other dimension.

"I can't be…." Rinoa's body said, just as the void closed up.

A complete silence fell over the room; everyone looking to see if there was any chance that Rinoa's body would come back and attack them again.

"I can't believe you fucking saved my life, Trepe." Seifer cursed, breaking the quiet.

"She didn't have to. Remember that." Squall said, then looked over at Evan. "You are not disappointed that the phoenix could not bring them back, are you?"

"I am, but I understand why he couldn't." Evan replied, looking over to Raven. She was still kneeling beside Falcon's body, everyone a little afraid to go over to her. They all broke around to the people they wanted to talk to the most. Irvine walked over to Squall and Ellone to talk to them about why they never said anything about being the most powerful beings in all of Gaia, while Seifer and Evan stood together.

"Are you okay, Angel?" Zell whispered, taking Quistis into his arms, not caring that the blood Quistis had received in the battle was now covering him as well.

"Yeah. I just needed to make sure that she wasn't going to come back." Quistis answered. Zell nodded, then pulled her tightly up against him, glad that this phase of their life was over and now they could get back to their semi-normal lives back at Balamb Garden.

"Why did you save me?" Seifer interrupted them, Evan securely under his arm.

"Well, you might be the knight, but we all have to look out for one another." Quistis replied.

"She's right, you know. The three of us hold very important positions in the world now. We have to keep each others backs." Evan agreed with the other blue mage.

"As if a goddamn sorcerer isn't enough to worry about, now I gotta keep an eye on the 2 of you fuckers." Seifer sighed in a joking manner.

Evan's eyes began to wander the room, as he knew he had finally found someone for him, when he saw Squall walking over towards Raven.

"Um, guys, should we be watching this? She can be kinda dangerous." Evan poked at Seifer's side causing the other two guardians to turn their attention to the brunet sorcerer.

"Are you okay, Raven?" Squall asked, surprising even himself for the concern he felt for the girl.

"I'm sorry. I am so sorry for everything. It's just that my mother is a very evil person. She's been plotting this type of thing for as long as I can remember. And Crowe and I just fit into her plan once she learned of the limit break that we shared." Raven cried, throwing herself into Squall's arms. Squall's eyes went wide when he realized what she had done, and figured he should just go with it.

"Where is your mother, Rave? Maybe we can put a stop to this for once and for all." Evan suggested, kneeling down beside the two brunettes.

"No, I have the score settle with her. It is my job to get rid of her." Raven said, finally pulled away from Squall and stood up. "As much as you think this is your battle too, her debts to me are far greater then the ones to you." With that said, Raven grabbed her discarded long sword as well as her brothers hand guns and ran out of the room.

"Raven!" Evan called after her, but Squall held the redhead back.

"She has something to do on her own before she is ready to become a part of our society again." Squall replied.

To Be Continued………….

Well, well, well. I think I've got one more in me. But I have a lot of ideas running around in my head for the sequel that I promise I am going to write. First I think I should finish this one, right? Sorry it took so long to get this one out, but it took longer to get the internet in my apartment then I thought. But I can't promise now that I have the internet that I will have chapters out at rocket speed. I am now attending college, and I have 2 roommates who also use the net and one has stories on her too, so no promise on when I will have chapters out. But it won't be months between chapters, but it won't be everyday. Also, the prize is still being offered for the 175th reviewer, and I have 167 right now. Remember, any pairing, any rating. No limits (except I really don't like writing Squinoa's, but I will if I really have to). Love and cookies!
