Chapter VII The Other Sorceress
In Aurora's mind
"W. W. What's going on?" Aurora thought drowsily and opened her eyes. or at least she thought that she did, they were already open and she remembered the terrible truth about her being possessed by Ultimecia.
In her mind she gasped as she saw through Ultimecia's eyes in the reflection of the window that her own body was slowly changing into Ultimecia's body. Long black wings were growing and her clothes were changed into Ultimecia's. Only her face remained the same.
"Oh my god." she thought.
"SO, my dear. your awake, are you?" taunted Ultimecia. "Oh, what a day, what a day! You're disappearing. Garden is under attack and I will be ruler!"
"Garden's under attack!" thought Aurora in panic and looked out the window to see an air fleet headed out of Esthar followed by nearly a thousand soldiers. They were headed to where, Aurora saw, the Garden was.
"NO!" she thought frantically. "This can't be happening. why aren't they leaving. they'll all be killed. Mom, Dad. Sirus."
"Correction my dear. I am your mother, your mother cannot die." said Ultimecia, calmly.
"YOU ARE NOT MY MOTHER!" Aurora screamed.
"Suit yourself. Though, really, I am. You'd might as well face it." Ultimecia said quietly, "You know, I could let you live, I could let you out and we could be the ruler's of the world. We could be great, you know, but it's up to you. You have the strength and ability to be as good as I, you just don't know it yet!"
"I'm better then you." Aurora retorted.
"YOU STUPID GIRL! You are not more powerful then me, I am the most powerful sorceress in the world.in the universe. and it will all be mine." She shrieked.
"My sorceress." came a voice from outside of Aurora's head, it was Dean.
"DEAN!" Aurora screamed. "HELP ME!"
"Shut up. he's not here to help you. He's my knight." said Ultimecia.
"I thought that Seifer Almasy was your knight?" said Aurora in confusion.
"That stupid fool? I don't think so. This one is of much more help and use to me. So why don't you just be quiet and stay out of thing's that you don't understand." Ultimecia said harshly.
"The Garden is now under attack." Dean said tonelessly. "The air fleet is bombing now."
"No." Aurora whispered.
"And what of the knight? Where is he?" Ultimecia said, ignoring Aurora's whisper.
"Knight? Seifer?" Aurora whispered.
"We expect that he will be coming with the commander and the sorceress." Said Dean.
"Rinoa is no longer a sorceress. She is of no threat to me. I can defeat her, I know how now." said Ultimecia. "Only one person is a threat, however, and I need her. Where is Ellone?"
"Aunt Elle?" Aurora thought. "But why."
"She is coming with them to, I'm sure. I expect that they will try to help Aurora." Said Dean.
"How do you know?" asked Ultimecia.
"We have a spy in the Garden. he is not a trader like others." Said Dean.
"Good." Ultimecia smirked, and turned back to the window but did not see the smirk cross Dean's face and the red swirl's that flowed out of him, which left him standing in an idle position.
"My knight. You may go." Ultimecia said with a wave of her hand.
Dean stood there; he did nothing.
"GO!" Ultimecia hissed but Dean still did nothing.
Ultimecia turned in anger, but the floor began to shake and Ultimecia fell over. "What's going on!" she demanded.
Just as she said that, a harsh laughing erupted in her and Aurora's head making Ultimecia wince. "Who's there?" she called.
"Hahaha! So. You're the most powerful sorceress in the world? I don't think so!" said a harsh and raspy voice.
"WHO ARE YOU!" Ultimecia demanded.
"The most powerful sorceress in the world." The raspy voice croaked.
"ADEL!" Ultimecia hissed. "STAY AWAY! You're not more powerful."
Just as she said that Aurora felt a strange sensation in her mind as if she was being pushed back and another was put into her mind.
"NO!" Ultimecia screamed.
Ultimecia's body shivered and stood up, Ultimecia was no longer in control, Adel was there, and she was more powerful.
"Wow. three sorceresses in one. all these powers. it's just so much!" Adel taunted.
"How?" Aurora thought in fright.

Chapter VIII The Battle Begins
"IRVINE! HURRY!" Selphie demanded as she ran to one of the empty Ragnarok's, and out of the hot late afternoon sun.
"Ok. Ok! Calm down, will ya!" he shouted back and waved Nida on, who took off in the other Ragnarok.
"Shouldn't we wait until they all leave?" he asked as he pointed to the other jet's on the aircraft platform.
An enemy jet flew overhead and shot at them but missed. "NO!" Selphie yelled.
Irvine gulped and got into the Ragnarok. As he reached the pilot's deck he felt a jolt as Selphie pulled up and burst forward. "WHOA!" Irvine said and caught a seat before falling. "What's with you?" he asked her.
"We've gotta kill'em. there's so many!" Selphie said as they came to where about twenty enemy jets were hovering, waiting for the soldiers to attack the Garden.
"Let's hope that the student's are gonna be ok." said Irvine as he saw nearly 500 student's flow from the front entrance and the Quad, they seemed to be getting ready for battle position.
"It's going to be fine. Remember when we battled with Galbadia Garden? We survived that, didn't we?" said Selphie reassuringly.
"Yeah but there weren't two thousand soldiers then!" said Irvine.
"WHOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" Selphie yelled as they headed straight into the many jet's and began shooting.
**************************************
Zell stared forward and gulped. The soldiers had stopped advancing and were about to attack the oncoming SeeD and Garden members.
"Listen up everyone. This is it!" he called. "This isn't a regular battle. there's many more of them then there is of us. And they have guns so be on guard! Everybody must cast Protect!" he called out.
"Zell!" Clarissa called as she ran up beside him. "What if they all cast it together. we'll create a shield for us all and the airplanes won't be able to hit us." She said.
"You're a genius!" he said and kissed her quickly. "OK! On the count of three, everyone cast shield. EVERYONE!" he yelled as loud as he could.
"Line up in 5 rows everyone." Clarissa added.
After everyone lined up and there were five rows of about 100 people Zell counted down.
"THREE!"
"TWO!"
"ONE!"
Everyone cast protect and there was a strange buzzing sound. For a moment all they saw was a blue dome go all around them, but within a few seconds, it was clear.
"Cast SHELL!" Zell called.
"THREE!"
"TWO!"
"ONE!"
A huge pink dome covered the clear one and now from what they saw the sky was tinted a yellowish color.
"HOLD OFF!" Zell yelled. "We'll wait for them to come to us, that way we stay in our protected area. no missiles will hit us!"
The crowd of student's waited many of them clutching their weapons nervously. Zell looked back to see many scared faces and sighed.
"Listen everyone. we can do this. we're going to be ok!" he said reassuringly. A few people's faces lifted, though not as many as Zell would have hoped.
"Here they come!" Clarissa yelled to get Zell's attention. The first wave of about 200 soldiers started forwards, they began to shot but the bullets only came through as small pellets that bounced softly off of people.
"Haha! It's working!" Zell laughed and looked up to see the two Ragnarok's and five of the Garden's other jet's rushing into the air battle.
"Good Luck, guys." he whispered.
**************************************
"Oh my god!" Irvine said in frustration as they missed some of the jets. So far they'd only gotten two.
"Oh no!" Selphie said. "Look!"
One of the smaller jets from the Garden was hit and plummeted to the ground and exploded.
"That's it! They're gonna pay!" Selphie screamed and blasted the jet engines straight at two of the enemy jet's that were coming towards them.
"Selphie! Are you crazy!" Irvine said in awe as she turned at the last instant and blasted them from behind.
"Hahaha! This thing is still up to speed with its turning mechanism you know!" she said crazily.
Irvine shook his head and his eyes widened. "SELPHIE! LOOK OUT!" They were headed straight at another aircraft that was so close he could almost see the person inside.
"Grrr.." Selphie said as the plane turned upwards and came behind them. Selphie swerved in and out of gaps between other jets and tried to lose the enemy jet but it wouldn't let up.
"Aha!" she said triumphantly as she saw another enemy headed straight at them. Right before they hit she turned the steering straight down and bombed towards the ground, pulling up right before they hit. The two jets smashed into each other.
Irvine who had his eyes closed opened them and shook his head. "I can't believe I married this lunatic." He said out loud.
"Hey!" said Selphie defensively. "Just because I'm a lunatic doesn't mean you couldn't have married me!"
Irvine chuckled a bit and sat in the machine gun seat and took the controls. "Selphie. I'll use the machine guns too."
Selphie nodded and turned the Ragnarok to face the enemy jets and hovered there. She sat back in her seat.
"Come on. come and get some!" she said with a crazed look in her eyes.
"Shouldn't have let Selphie fly this thing." muttered Irvine.
**************************************
"Let's do this!" said Zell and charged forwards at the oncoming soldiers that had entered their protective shield. The garden student's and SeeD followed closely and they fought.
"Frickin' hell!" said Zell as one of the soldier's cast Firaga on him. "Oh, your gonna get it now!"
He concentrated with all his might and his body disappeared, Cactuar replaced it. Cactuar grinned as he saw three cowering soldier's standing in his shadow and he leaned forwards to crush them, but then, instead of going all the way to the ground, he cast out thousands of cactus thorns leaving them lying on the ground dead.
Zell re-appeared, smiling. "Tch! That's what I thought!" he said as he moved on to defeat more soldiers.
Ahead of him, he saw Clarissa helping a young girl defeat two soldiers after they'd beaten her to the ground and he smirked, thinking of how Clarissa was always there to help whenever someone needed it.
"OW!" he yelled, as he felt something hard hit the back of his head and he fell over. One of the soldiers had taken the back of his gun and hit him over the head.
Clarissa saw this, and she immediately ran over to Zell, but the soldier got her first. he cast the most powerful spell that was known. Ultima. Clarissa fell to the ground in pain and when she finally attempted to get up, the soldier kicked her down.
Zell climbed up with as much strength as he could muster and crawled to where they were. He took the soldier out by the knees and hit him with his own gun.
Zell helped Clarissa up and used a potion on her to make her feel better. "Thanks." she said.
"No problem, I mean, your always there for me, so I thought that I should pay you back!" he smiled jokingly, but his expression changed quickly. He stared behind her in horror as the soldier regained consciousness and was coming at her with a knife.
