LSTEN UP EVERYONE! THIS MIGHT HAVE YOU HERE!!!
To PokemonJoe: Sure I'll draw a pic of her. I just have to find some free time. . . hehehehe. Or space out more in math. LMAO! I'll do that as soon as I can, and to anyone else who wants one done. I'll try, but I'm not as good as Keily. ^_^
To Dead-Chesire: Thank you! ::blows a kiss::
To CursedAngelofSephiroth: I'm thinking he's going to use them as whips and such? Or for pulling them closer, or if they're flying to the ground? Let me know how you want them used if you have a set idea. ^_^ Plus the pics of the OCs are on the site that's listed as mine under my penname. So click on it up there and it should give you the site. You'll just have to get the list of "deviations" for me to figure out which are what. ^_^
TO EVERYONE!!!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read: I'm not trying to be a bitch here. Really I'm not. But I just want to say this. I DO NOT CARE if you write a story like mine where people submit characters. No problem (waves at Ninja Girl Emi : Love the story!! Update soon!! ^_~) with that. But if you did get the idea from me (even if they are not similar except for the submission thing) PLEASE give me SOME credit. I don't want credit for your idea and all, but it would be nice if you did that. And let me know too. It would mean a lot. I don't mind people using it, because I'm sure tons of people had that idea at one point or another, but it would be nice to be recognized as like, one of the first, or first in the Final Fantasy category. I'm not sure if I am, but I dunno. Still would be nice. Don't hurt me!! ::hides from the boos and eggs:: Thanks a ton!
ONE MORE NOTE!! PLEASE RESPOND! VERY IMPORTANT!!: I'm going to be introducing some of the circle, if not all of them, within the next three chapters or so. I know some people have agenda's to make against the circle. For example: Jen and Sypher hate Aerick Bosnar because he is the reason their families are dead. Daniel has something against Zack Daghar because they have the same sort of background. Eric Mendoza hates Daniel Mendoza because they're brothers and Daniel killed his family and such. So anyway! I need to know what person your character would be most against, and maybe a short (or long ^_~) reason why. They're going to be splitting into groups soon, but the groups are not going to be permanent. They're going to be temporary for this first mission. I want to try to get everyone with their first choices for grouping, and I may not be able to at first. But I hope to get them all eventually. Bear with me, and PLEASE get that in as SOON as possible in a review or email. ::breathes:: okay. I think I'm done. Shall we get on to the story now? ^_~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The slow songs ended and everyone moved back to the floor or took their seats at the bar. Jen plopped down next to Sypher and ordered another soda. As she did she heard a loud, familiar laugh and looked to the door. Aeris and Spike wandered in, grinning at their cleverness.
"We got in. These guards are pathetic." Spike nodded, agreeing with her. Lexiter came over.
"So what's this I hear about you guys being sent to Pierrespoint?"
"We didn't go. We went over to Bortherston."
"Oh? So why are you here?" Jen asked, quickly finishing the soda and asking for another. She felt so thirsty all of a sudden.
"Well, we figured we could hang out in Bortherston for a bit before we checked in. But that's besides the point. We called Arlington, but he said he wasn't able to get through to any of you. Something about a block on your phones here. So he sent us to tell you." She grinned as she played it out a bit.
"Get to the point Aeris." Lexiter glared at her and picked up the drink slid towards her.
"Pierrespoint is gone." Jen and Lex spit out their drinks, spraying it everywhere.
"WHAT?!" They both screamed at the same time. The people around them looked and inched away, Sypher chuckling while Zell took a step back.
"It was destroyed about two hours ago. Missile attack." Spike said. Lexiter's jaw fell open.
"No fucking way."
"Yes."
"Brenton sent you there?" Spike nodded and Lexiter turned to Jen. "He knows something. That fuck sent them there."
"Couldn't he have sent them because he knew there was someone there?"
"But why just them? Why not one of use and more backup? He's trying to slowly kill us." Jen laughed.
"You're paranoid. Why the fuck would he do that?"
"I don't know. But something about that man is twisted."
"Look, he got us up to Captain level."
"Man's got some sick twisted plans. Don't you remember what happened before? To-"
"SHUT UP!" Jen suddenly screamed. "I remember what fucking happened to him! I'm not going to forget that!"
"Brenton sent him on a suicide mission. He knew he wasn't going to make it."
"Look, I fucking think about it everyday. We all do. Why do you need to bring it up here?" Lexiter shrugged and finished the drink, putting it on the bar while Spike and Aeris stood and watched.
"Thanks for brining this to our attention. We'll deal with that lousy bastard when we get back." Aeris and Spike nodded, wandering into the crowd for a minute to dance a bit before they had to leave.
Cid came over and ordered another drink having escaped yet another crowd of girls. He grinned and looked at Sypher. "Why the hell aren't ya drinking? Ya think you'd need it here!"
"I don't drink." He said again. Cid waved his hand and ordered a different beer for the Comm. Spec. Sypher sighed.
"What the hell is with you people tonight? Trying to fucking get me drunk?"
"Lighten up kiddo." Cid handed it to him and Sypher sighed, taking it. Jen looked at him, grinning as he made a face, drinking it.
"Sypher, I didn't think you would ever crack under peer pressure." He shrugged.
"Whatever." He took a deep breath and finished it, his head getting slightly lighter feeling as he did. "Ugh! How anyone can drink this shit is beyond me."
"Looks like you just did." She grinned and finished her drink, feeling a slow heat creep up her neck. She fanned her face, not feeling to well suddenly.
"Oh Christ." She whispered, shaking her head. Sypher looked at her.
"You alright?" She nodded and looked up at him, his face seemingly glowing. She broke out into a grin as Alessa came over.
"Hey." She ordered yet another drink and downed it while watching the two. "What the heck is her problem?" Sypher shrugged, eyeing Jen oddly. Alessa shrugged and looked at Zell, grinning. "Hey Zell. Wanna dance?" He shrugged and was dragged onto the floor.
Jen grinned at Sypher again, slowly blinking. Sypher felt scared, luckily Zuzu came up at that minute. "Hey girl! What you doin' sittin' here on your ass?"
"I want to leave." She said, keeping her eyes on Sypher. Zuzu turned to him and he looked to Zuzu for help.
"Are you alright?"
"I just want to leave." She said, glancing quickly at Zuzu.
"Are you alright to drive girl? You don't look so good."
"Nah, I'm fine, but I want to leave." She pressed again, lowering her head and looking up at Sypher through her eyelashes. His face flushed.
"Jen, stop playing around." She grinned and winked. Zuzu laughed.
"Is she drunk?"
"I didn't have anything to drink but soda! Why would you say that? Besides, I'm fucking sitting right here! I can't believe your talking about me like I'm not even here!"
"I was just wondering. You're giving Sypher the "eye." Zuzu laughed.
"I want to leave. Come on Sypher." She stood up and grabbed his hand, pulling the taller man to his feet. He looked at Zuzu, his face flame red.
"Keep an eye on her. I don't think she's feeling too well." Zuzu walked back to the floor to the rest of the group that was left, leaving Sypher to be dragged outside by a strange Jen.
Back at the base Severine practically dragged a nearly unconscious Daniel into the underground building. She groaned with the effort and just happened to be passing by Chaos Angel.
"What happened to him?" He asked, instantly reaching down to help Severine with the sick man.
"I don't know! He just got sick like all over his car and started talking gibberish! This isn't good! I have to get Badguy!"
"Calm down. Let's get him to his room." He calmly lifted the man and entered the elevator with him, not bothering to take the stairs. Daniel gagged again and almost vomited, but stopped, groaning.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" He moaned as he was lifted off the elevator.
"You'll be fine." Chaos Angel said as he walked quickly down the hall.
Severine whipped out her phone, frantically punching in numbers. All the lines were busy. She dialed another one.
"Arlington."
"Why aren't their phones working?!"
"Whose?"
"Anyone's!"
"Oh. It must be some sensor's in the club screwing up the electronic transmissions."
"I need to get Badguy back."
"I'll try the number to the place. Give me a few minutes. It might take some time to get through to them."
"Just hurry. Daniel is sick."
"Got it." He hung up the phone and got to work.
Outside the club Sypher practically carried Jen to her car. She smiled as he opened the door to the passenger side and helped her in. She slid her arm around his neck and pulled him close, kissing him on the lips. He froze, eyes wide.
"Alright. You are drunk."
"I'm not drunk."
"Do you realize what you just did?"
"I kissed you." She said. He raised an eyebrow, confused. She sounded clear, but there was no way she was. She wasn't acting herself.
"Why?" She shrugged.
"Because I'm bored? And I want you Sypher." She grabbed his shirt and pulled him to her, his face beet red. He pushed back.
"Alright, that's it. You need to get home and sleep off whatever this is." He pushed her into the car and shut the door, fumbling with the keys as he walked around the front. He unlocked his door and climbed in as she slid over to him, pressing her lips against his neck. He froze again, eyes wide.
"Jen, will you please not do that."
"Why not? Don't you want me?"
". . ." He started the car and pushed her over to her side, buckling her in.
"Sypher." She cooed. He frowned. "You know you want me."
"No."
"Yes you do."
"Something's wrong with you." She giggled and pressed her head against the cool window, shutting her eyes.
Zuzu moved onto the dance floor and grinned as she watched all her friends dancing their problems away. Mal was having a blast dancing with a taller blonde girl who seemed to like her very much. Mal looked over at Zuzu, a bright smile on her face and she winked before laughing hysterically. Zuzu laughed with her and went to hunt down someone to dance with.
Shock watched as Rikku and Yuffie made their rounds of dancing with the different guys, and every time they seemed to be hassled too much, he would step in to help them. They smiled and went along with the brother story, leaning against him when he came to their rescue.
"Thank you dear big brother." Rikku said sweetly, grinning. Shock couldn't help but smile at them as three more boys ran off to join the others cowering on the other side of the club.
Zuzu searched for someone when she found Badguy pressed up against a wall trying to back away from a few girls. She grinned and went over to investigate.
He saw her and looked at her pleadingly. Five was just too many. Not even the king of flirting could take on that many. Zuzu gave a sly grin and walked over.
"Come on Spike! Dance with me!"
"No! He said me first!"
"Ladies! Ladies! No need to fight!"
"Excuse me, but can I help you?" Zuzu said, standing behind them. Most of the girls were taller than her, but she didn't care.
"And who would you be?"
"Take a number!"
"I'm next!"
"Back OFF my man." She hissed dangerously. Badguy's eyes went wide and he lowered his arms. The girls looked at her questioningly.
"Your-"
"Yes MY man. Now get lost, slum bitches." She sneered. They stared at her, eyes wide before their expressions turned to anger. Badguy took the opportunity to slide through and grab Zuzu, walking away quickly.
"Heh, thanks."
"No problem oh mighty, 'I can take 'em all on!'" She laughed.
"Yeah. Guess they were just a little too rambunctious tonight. Thanks."
"No problem. But now you owe me again." He sighed and shook his head. Zuzu froze, staring at the bar.
"What? Did I say something? Wait, no I didn't." He looked at her confused and followed where she was staring.
A tall man with wavy, brown, shoulder length hair leaned against the bar watching them, eyes narrowed. Zuzu put a hand on her hip as he wandered over to them.
"Zuzu."
"Only my friends call me that." She spat, her eyes flashing dangerously. He stopped a few feet from them.
"Alright, Azumi." He looked over at Badguy and glared at him, before turning back to her. "You still look good." Zuzu felt like she was going to be sick.
"I don't need to hear that from you." Badguy stepped up behind Zuzu and reached out, taking her arm and pulling her back a bit. Matt's green eyes flashed dangerously.
"Why you pulling her away? I'm not dangerous."
"Tried to fucking kill me you bastard! LIKE HELL YOUR NOT!" She yelled, backing into Badguy and moving to his side.
"We should get out of here. Too many innocents." He whispered in her ear. She nodded as Matt glared again.
"What the hell do you think you're doing touching my girl?"
"YOUR GIRL?!" Zuzu couldn't take it anymore. She glared at Matt, her fists balled up at her sides. Badguy grinned and moved behind her, wrapping his arms around the shorter girls waist.
"Is he your ex?" He whispered in her ear, watching Matt. She nodded. "Wow! I didn't know you had dated a Circle member."
"He wasn't then." Badguy grinned, toying with Matt, and kissed Zuzu's neck, still watching Matt, whose face was contorted with rage.
"What's this? Matt doesn't like it when I touch his girl does he?" He grinned and kissed her head, looking over the top at the man. Matt snapped and leapt forward at Badguy, who quickly pushed Zuzu out of he way and ducked. Everyone around them stopped, a few screaming. Matt turned at glared at Badguy when he felt a hand reach up and grab his hair, a knife at his throat. A much shorter Alessa stood behind him.
"Leave now." She spat, running the small blade against his throat. He kicked his leg back quickly and knocked her over, the blade peeling a layer of skin. He wiped at the blood and shook his hand, causing little drops of it to land on the ground. He grinned before running towards the door.
"See you soon Zuzu." He left quickly, Zuzu ready to go after him. Lexiter came up to them, her eyes unfocused.
"We have to get out of here." She said, holding her head. "If he comes with back up we're screwed in this place. Can't fight in here. Too many would die." She said a little breathlessly. Seifer held the keys to her car in her hand and handed them to Alessa who nodded. They all quickly left the place, watching for anyone that would be connected to the circle.
As they were leaving Badguy's phone rang.
"Sanders."
"FINALLY! We've been trying to get a hold of you forever!"
"Get to the point Arlington."
"Severine came back with Daniel. He's really sick. We need you to get back as soon as possible."
"How fucking wonderful. I was just leaving too. Be there in a bit. Have someone bring him to the Hospital wing."
"Roger that." Badguy rolled his eyes and shut the phone, running to his vehicle with the others.

Sorry it took so long. And again, sorry if I seemed a bitch before. But please get those things about the villains to me. I hope its evenly divided, or at least somewhat so. I'll see what I can do. Next chapter should be up in a day or two. Hopefully a day, but we'll see what happens. Enjoy! Oh, and the next chapter should hold QUITE A FEW surprises! ^_~
