Welcome to ZELLRULESTHEWORLD
* Warning * One swear word included in this chapter…I'm sure the warning isn't necessary but hey…it could be one day, so yeah, swearing alert.
They wrapped my shivering body up in a blanket. I felt so close to passing out, but Zell…Morphius…still had to have his 'say'.
" Welcome…to the real world. It's not much but…its home"
Then, thank heaven, I passed out.
When I woke up all I could feel was pain. Like someone had poked a thousand needles into me, all over my body. But hey, I was pretty accurate too. My tired eyelids opened and I saw Morphius and Rinoa hovering over me.
" We've done it Trinity…we've found him"
" What do you mean 'we' found him? Get it right, 'I' found him"
I decided to make myself known. " Am I dead?" They both looked at me, trying to stay as serious as possible…which wasn't very serious.
" Yes…hahahaha…no just kidding…"
When I fell back to sleep again I woke up to see Morphius and…Nida…standing over me. But the strangest thing was the thousands of needles all poked into me all over my body. These instances where I kept getting everything right were getting way to frequent and way too freaky.
" What are doing to me? I thought you said we're all donkeys, not porcupines"
Nida frowned and looked over to Morphius with that…look.
" Where helping you to grow back your muscles"
" Why?"
" Because you've never used them before…"
" Yes I have…"
" No you haven't"
" Yes I have!"
" Haven't!"
" I have so!"
" No way!"
" I have!"
" You haven't!"
" I haven't!"
" You have!…oops…"
" Ha! Got ya! See I have used them so there!"
Morphius groaned, rubbing his hand over his forehead. He grabbed an injection over from the desk and injected me with it. Within a few moments I was off again, completely blacked out. Geez thanks a lot Morphius. He sure can't take a joke.
When I woke I was pretty shocked and threw myself forward out of bed. Unfortunately the ceiling in my room was extremely short and I smacked my head on the roof.
* SMACK * " Ooff…ow…"
It was then that I also realized I had a plug in me. It was…you know…up my but. Like an anal probe or something. Hey come on it was pretty embarrassing.
Once the anal probe was gone I felt the back of my head. Something was there, I just knew it, like a hidden instinct. I was so close to touching it, to finding out if my assumption was correct. My fingers crossed a hard metal surface on the back of my head. I was about to explore it further when….
* CREAK * The door opened.
Ok so I was completely scared out of my pretty cool looking boots.
" AAAHH!"
" Whoa sorry man didn't mean to scare an all"
" HOLY SHIT ZELL! HAVENT YOU EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING!"
" Hey hey! I said I'm sorry…and my name here us Morphius ok?"
" Yeah yeah whatever…"
I felt pretty uneasy, looking around at my 'bedroom'. It was pretty poor accommodation. No private bathroom. No complimentary towel. No little soaps or shampoos. No instant coffee or Tea bags. Very, very poor.
" Hey Ze- Morphius, where the hell am I? And please, please don't tell me I'm at your secret club under the elevator level of garden?"
Zell seemed a little shell-shocked. " Damnit…you know about that??? How the hell…?? Er…never mind. No your not there. You're on my ship…in the real world. Remember? Like don't you even remember me tellin you all dat stuff about the real world?"
" Ok……………….no"
He sighed. " Its not a matter of where Squall…it's a matter of 'when'. You think it's the year 2065, when in fact it's closer to 2066"
" But that's only a year difference…"
" A year is long time you know…we don't know exactly what month it is…because Seifer lost the calendar…"
"…"
" Ok well lets get you acquainted with the team"
We climbed up a ladder next to my room and I got a wonderful view of Zell's but…I'm saying this in a sense that I was scarred for life and not, I repeat, not in a sense that I enjoyed seeing Zell's but hovering above me. Just thought I should stress that point.
He came to the main deck. " This is my ship, the ZELLRULESTHEWORLD"
This guy cant be serious…" I should have guessed…" I whispered under my breath. There was a sign next to me, bright as daylight with the inscriptions, ZELLRULESTHEWORLD. I was actually surprised it didn't say, MORPHIUSRULESTHEWORLD…
" You know everyone here so I'll just briefly introduce everyone…Rinoa, aka Trinity"
Rinoa was down in the corner, pretending, to do someone welding. At the mention of her name, she seductively stood up, wisking the mask off her head…her seductiveness failed and the helmet ended up caught on a lose strand of hair. She yelped as the helmet pulled on the hair and in turned she jabbed it upwards to pull it out, only causing herself more harm. She held the helmet above her head yelling incoherently and jumping about on the spot.
I eagerly took my eyes from the scene and paid attention to Zell's introductions. " This is Quistis, Seifer, Irvine, Nida, Raijin…and the really big one behind you is Frank.
"…Frank?"
" Oh yeah, he's a buddy of mine, you don't know him. Say hi Frank"
" …"
Zell beamed. " He's a great guy…anyway this is where we log into the internet with a stolen account, with unlimited downloads, free hours for 2 months 'and'….wait for it…a free msn browsing system!"
Everyone's faces lit up when Zell finished his…wonderful…examination…speech…?
" Gee guys…that's great…goodbye!"
I turned around but unfortunately Zell grabbed me by the arm. " Oh but wait, there's more!"
Oh please, please, I know I have done a lot of wrong things…but…I saved the world from a crazy and mentally deranged sorceress…please help me! Oh great one!
My pleads were unanswered. Zell lead me to the main…of the main area. It was pretty complex…and even I was impressed for a split second…that's right, a split second, because I saw…the seats. Dirty, torn, scruffy…ok I'm not a guy who desires fashion…but I do have taste.
" This is where we get into the Matrix…nothing interesting"
Everyone shrugged and continued their duties.
" You wanted to know what the Matrix is Squall?"
" no…"
" Come over here, and I'll show you…."
Oh boy…
A/N: aha! I'm a genius!! Mauahahahaha……ok sorry. Well what do think? The character frank was an idea from my friend Sari. I just thought it would be fun to have all FF8 characters and then…Frank. Hehehe. Well I don't know about you but every time I watch the Matrix this Fic is gonna be planted in my head and people will wonder why I'm laughing at the serious bits! Oh yeah and MSN doesn't belong to me.
