=====================================================
I was in the cell that I had been placed in. In a few days, I was
to be placed on trial for the crimes that St. Marius commited while he
controlled my body. I couldn't believe that this was happening.
First I was imprisoned in seven seperate pieces. Now I was whole
again, only to be imprisoned again. For the past few hours, I had
been reflecting on this problem. I don't know how I would get out
of it, but I felt I could get out of this delemia. I just needed
my friend and family to help me. Soon, I heard Meg, who was assigned
to guard me, say "You have visitors, Vet."
I looked up to see Rich, Li, JaNa, Lena and Isis standing
there. I was happy to see them. I looked at Rich and said,
"Any hope?"
Rich smiled and said, "We plan to testify, so you will have
some backing to your good nature."
Li then said, "I've been having people who know the real
you sign papers stating your true nature. Many feel this is a travesty
of what is happening to you."
Lena then said, "I've been searching through Radr's logs
to find cases in the past like this. Radr also doesn't want this
to happen." All of my friends and family were trying to pull everything
together so I wouldn't be sent away to where ever they would send me.
I then heard my daughter say, "Don't worry mother, I don't
think that you will be sent away. I plan to speak in your defense
as well." I hugged her in appreciation.
Then, Isis said, "Also, I will make a public forgiveness
of what had happened. That should convince everyone that you never
meant to do what had been done."
I felt tears form in my eyes as I said, "I thank you all.
This has been a very difficult time for me. I just hope it can finally
end." This nightmare had gone on long enough. I had watched
as St. Marius used me to bring sorrow over the whole world.
JaNa looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Don't worry,
mother. This nightmare will end." I could tell that she would
not let this misjustice go on."
Soon, I heard Meg go, "Alright, it's time to go. Visiting
time is over." She started to motion for all of the others to leave
the room.
As they exited my cell, I heard Rich say, "Meg, when is
the trial set?" She knew that they had a deadline to reach and that
was when the trial would be held.
I heard Meg say "A week from tomorrow. Radr wanted
us to wait. He still thinks we are making a mistake."
I listened as Rich said, "It is. People will understand
and forgive her. We already have alot of people for Vet's freedom."
I watched as he left the cell block area. It was late, and I knew
I only had one real thing to do in the cell, and that was sleep.
******************
I was startled when Meg awoke me. I could tell by a
timeclock on the wall that it was very early in the morning. She
just motioned and said, "Come on, Vet. Time is wasting." She
started to lead me out of the cell I was kept in.
As she lead me down the hall, I was wondering what was happening.
I looked at her and said, "Where are we going?"
I was startled when Meg just said, "Your trial. It's
time for it." I could see a small smile cross her face. I knew
that Meg was one of the people who pushed hardest for this trial, but I
was more started that I had been asleep for a week.
I looked around and said, "You mean I've been asleep for
a week?"
She laughed and said, "No. Only a few hours.
The trial was pushed up to right now." I was scared now, and also felt
betrayed. Had my friends been informed, and choose to ignore it.
Soon enough, we had reached the court room. I was
terrified now, but when I was escorted in, only a judge sat there.
I wonder if Radr was even watching, but I saw no signs of life in any of
the computer screens. It was as if he was being kept in the dark
about this. I then heard a voice exclaim. "So this is Vet.
Vet, you have commit a lot of crimes. You would need a miracle to
get out of this."
I looked at the judge and pleeded, "Your honor, my friend
will testify that all this isn't my fault."
The judge looked at me and said, "Then where are they?"
I swallowed and said, "They were told the trial was a week
from now." I had heard Meg say that to them. That was why they
weren't here. The fact that they didn't know about the date being
moved up was odd.
Then I heard words that shattered my hope at a fair trial.
"She lies," Meg said, "When they visited her last night and asked me, I
told them that the trial was today." I was being set up.
I couldn't believe it. This trial was predetermined.
I was going to punished. I had to stop this. I shouted, "Your
honor, she's lying. She told them it was a week from..." I was knocked
to the floor by Meg's hand.
She turned back to the judge and said, "See that.
She lies to protect herself. She even threatened Isis with what appeared
to be a deadly weapon, one that could have killed everyone. She needs to
be locked up."
As I tried to get up, Meg slapped me down again. Why
was the judge allowing this, and Radr wouldn't allow this. That was
when it hit me. This was all set up by Meg, and the judge was in
on it. I tried to call for Radr, but I was slapped again. The
judge then said, "Then I have no choice to sentence you to one of the deepest
levels on the Nasty Dungeon, never to find your way out. Meg, escort
her there."
I felt Meg yank me up and lead me out of the room, and to
a hidden passage. I wan't meant to be seen. I struggled to
get free, but it was almost impossible. As I was being taken to my
wrongful imprisonment, I heard Meg say, "This has been a long time coming."
I tried to face her, but she kept me facing the right way,
especially when the door openned and we were outside the base. I
said, "Why? Do you still think it was my fault because I had gone
with Rich, instead of you being chosen to go with him."
I heard her laugh as we entered the celestrial world.
"You would think that. You basically cursed all their lives, even
ruined my sister's life. If it weren't for you, everything would
be fine."
We had entered the world of the dungeon as I said, "You're
sick Meg. You can't blame me for all of that. I fought the
evil. I wasn't the evil."
As we entered the dungeon, we were being transported down
when Meg said, "I know you fought the evil. That's the whole problem."
My blood ran cold at that moment. She then said, "At least I could
fill my sister Nela's place, but the others weren't to happy."
As we walked throught the halls of the level I was to be
imprisoned on, I said, with fear in my voice, "What do you mean others?"
I was pushed to the floor as Meg said, "These others, the
true beings that should control this world." I looked up to see 6
people, including Meg, surronding me. As I looked at them, I heard
Meg say, "Please meet, Jela, you know Judge Ervin." She was right,
he was the one who sentanced me to this hell. "Myself for my lost
sister Nela, Lord Osbert, Viana, and last, but not least, Alis."
I looked at the man and I realized who he was. The man who gave the
marble to St. Marius in my body.
I shook with fear as I asked, "Who are you?" I was
totally scared now.
It was Alis who spoke. "We are all descendants of
the Great Master, Sephiroth. You see many many ages ago. He
tried to become the ultimate being, but he was defeated, and the Ancients
took control. They destroyed him, and reformed this world.
We are the only ones who carry the Great Master's DNA, and know how to
revive him. The red 'marble' I gave you was a Materia, and once we
obtain all of them. He will be reborn, but you almost ruined it.
Nela had discovered the location of the Tomb Of Aeris. Now we must
hunt for it again. As for you, we shall keep you alive, but you shall
be tortured for all of eternity." I heard them all chant and soon,
a cat was at my side.
I heard one lady, Viana, say, "You see, that is your familiar,
and you now can't die. However, that cat will only protect you when you
are almost dead, and it will bring you back." They all started to laugh.
I was terrified. I was going to die and die, again and again.
They started to dissapear, but Meg stopped and said, "I
hope you like the company." When she dissappeared, I got up and looked
down one of the tunnels. What I saw frightened me. I grabbed the
cat and ran, because the creatures that were persuing me were not ones
I wanted to encouter anytime soon. My only hope now was to survive
long enough for my rescue, but who knows when that will happen.
The End....For Now
