Chapter 61: Bite

Squall left the room, a large sigh exuding from his chest. Laguna had been possessed for quite some time, and now was brought up to date on the situation. He agreed to help, and wept for Raine, hearing how it was his law that had killed her to a degree.

Now Squall stood next to the dorr, waiting for Tinsir. She walked up the hall, her clothes flapping behind her, and her eyes blazing.

Squall: What is it?

Tinsir: We must postpone out battle for the time being. We will summon the Guardian's aid, but wait for a couple months for the final battle. They need time, as do I. Dewn shall be retrieved, and will come here by tomorrow morning.

Squall: What's wrong?

Tinsir (quietly, and distant): ...Nothing.

Squall (gives her a look): ...

Tinsir: I'm fine. Just a little woozie.

Squall: Tell me. What is really bothering you?

Tinsir: Hads has overthrown a third of the Heavens. That is why I have not been a priority problem for them.

Squall: How do you know?

Tinsir (smirls): I have my ways.

Squall: ...(sigh)... Why are we really waiting to attack?

Tinsir: Because I wish to have our child first. Also, the Guardians need time to stretch thier wings before they fly so to speak.

Squall (realizes she's still hiding something, but doesn't want to push her): Fine.

Tinsir: Go talk to Dr. Kadowaki. Maybe she can prescribe something to change your mood. And I'm the one with mood swings.

Squall: I just don't appreciate information being with held from me.(so much for keeping quiet...)

Tinsir: I don't appreciate people butting into my secrets.

Squall: So there is one.

Tinsir: Dammit, Squall, you know there are many.

Squall: Cut the crap.

Tinsir: Yeah, well there are things better left unsaid. There are things I do not care to acknowledge yet.

Squall: Whatever.

Tinsir: ...

Squall: What?

Tinsir: Nothing.

Squall: ...

Tinsir: We should go find the others.

Squall: Whatever.

Tinsir (walks): ...

Squall (follows): ...

Selphie sat crying on Irvine's lap. He rubbed her back, trying in vain to comfort her. Quistis, and Zell sat next to each other, and held hands, looking for support in each other.

Zell: So, what are we going to do? You heard Laguna, he's even going to have Squall killed.

Selphie (bolts up): NO! We have to save them! They're our friends.(sits on Irvine)

Quistis: What can we do?

Selphie: It's all my fault...

Irvine: No it's not, Selph.

Selphie: Cell-phie... makes sense...

Quistis: Snap out of it. What would Squall do if her were us?

Zell: Nothing.

Quistis: ...*Yeah. He'd say it was against orders, or something... But he went after Oceania. He's... changed...* No, he'd save us.

Irvine: Okay, for the sake of arguement, what would Ocea do? She wouldn't put up with this crap if we were captured.

Selphie: She'd eat everyone in her way.

Others: ............True...

Selphie: I got it! Let's go to the cafeteria, and get a bunch of sporks, and knives! We'll kill, and eat everyone in our way! (evil giggle)

Others: O_o ...

Irvine: Selph... No...

Selphie: Just an idea.

Quistis: How about we talk to Laguna to free Squall, and let Ocea free herself after we get Squall to a safe location, and remove her magic seals?

Zell: He won't leave without her. And she won't risk his life to save hers.

Quistis: But does she have a choice?

Quistis: I was in delegations with Laguna earlier. He will think about waiting for the birth of their child to seal her. We need to save Squall first. His decapitation is tomorrow.

Irvine: You couldn't get him to stop it?

Quistis: I needed more time to talk to him, but Kiros barged in. I couldn'r plead his case properly. I will go this evening to talk to him again.

Selphie: While you're there, the rest of us will frewe Squall, and Ocea with plastic sporks!

Zell: Sephy...

Selphie: Just kidding...

Zell: So why did Laguna want to wait until Ocea had the kid? She'd pass on her powers to it, or Dewn.

Quistis: Dewn is in the Shumi village, and the child is a baby. He can teach it to do what he wants. A sorceress is a powerful ally, and with her powers, the child would be a good idea for a soldier, or such. Quite simple actually.

Zell: Oh

Tinsir (from hall): Get the hell outta my way! (sounds of men being thrown heard)

Squall(also from hall): Take it easy.

Tinsir (enters): Hi.

Selphie: You're not dead yet! (hugs Tinsir, and Squall)

Note: There was more to this chapter, but I guess I didn't save it. Damn... Well, I'll put it in the next one, k?
