Chapter Three: The Unknown Sniper

Fujin was enraged. "INSANITY."

"Zell! Do something!" Quistis commanded, "They're the ones who are
obsessed with you! Control your fan girls!"

"Yeah, Zell, step up, chicken – wuss!" Seifer retorted, "Hey! Nini? Mimi?
We'll give you Zell for free and you can do whatever the hell you want
with him if you let us go!

"Hey!" Zell growled at Seifer, but everyone else in the room seemed to be
glaring at him.

"Okay, okay!" Zell sighed, "Mimi? Nini? It's Zell! I need to talk to you
if you're there!"

Everyone could hear quick footsteps as Nini and Mimi leapt into the
screen as fast as they could while fixing their hair.

"Yes, hun?" Nini said sickenly sweet.

"Well, uh, do you think you could let us go...?" Zell put on a fake but
worried grin.

"He's yours for free." Seifer added.

"Shut up!" (But no one else seemed to defend him.)

"No can do, sweetie." Mimi's eyes glittered.

Xu decided to join in, "But ladies... Zell is most likely going to die in
this little game of yours... why do you want to kill him?"

"We don't plan on him dying." Nini answered simply.

"But—"

"Hahahaha..."

Everyone turned to see that Ultimecia, of all things to do in this
situation, was laughing in her sinister voice.

"Do you have something to say, Miss Mecia?" Mimi shot a glower at her.

"Everyone here is so... Kredulous! So naïve... so easy to fool!" She croaked,
"No two air heads can harm anyone! Susceptible!"

"She's right! How can we believe this crap? Man, we were stupid..." Biggs
said.

The two girls looked incredibly offended.

"Well then. I think this is the perfect opportunity to test out if these
necklaces really work, hm, Mimi?"

Mimi nodded as she took out a mini control panel with 30 buttons on it.

"Go ahead! There's no way I'm gunna take you two seriou—"

BOOM.

Biggs exploded before he could finish his sentence.

The twenty eight other people in the room jaws dropped. They backed away
from his torn up body, and didn't say a word, while most of the girls
were clinging to each other, sulking. Although Ultimecia didn't show a
little least terrified look, her mind was racing hysterically.

"BIGGS!!" Wedge fell to his knees and started pounding the ground.
"AGGHH!!"

"Well you know what, you better start taking us seriously, because we're
about to blow up the strongest sorceress in existence."

Ultimecia put her long slender hands on her heart as her collar
detonated. Bits of her body flew across the room as blood was
contaminating it.

"Oh my Hyne..." Rinoa buried her face in Squalls arms as she started
sobbing.

"Zell, are all your fan girls this mental?!?" Flo questioned alarmingly.

"Hm. Well at least you don't have to worry about Ultimecia's time
compression thing." Mimi added cleverly.

Everyone in the room was silent except Wedge, who was literally going
insane and banging his head on the wall now that his buddy was gone.

"Ze bagz are ready, girlz." They could hear Odine's voice in the
background.

"Alright." Nini replied, "Boys through the door on your left, ladies to
the right." Suddenly, two doors formed on either side of the T.V. "Do as
we say or you'll end up like Ulti over there."

They all nodded painfully.

Mimi started to the call names, "Boy number four, Irvine Kinneas..." Irvine
gave the pig tail girl one last hug as he got up nervously.

"OH MY HYNE! IRVINE! MY LOVE! NOOO! DON'T LEAVE ME!" The girl was glued
to his leg.

Selphie gritted her teeth.

"Oh, don't worry sweetie, I'll find you and protect you!" Irvine replied.

Selphie squeezed her fist so hard it hurt herself.

"I love you!"

"I love you too!"

"Love you more!"

"Love you—"

"JUST GO!!" Selphie blurted out her bottled up anger.

"Listen to the sugar high chick, Kinneas." Nini and Mimi were getting
inpatient.

They blew each other kisses and the metal door on the left slid open.
Irvine picked up a green army duffle bag at the other side of the door
and was the first to step on the Island.

"Girl number fifteen, the card queen..." Everyone didn't say a word after
and just left the room, "Boy number fourteen, Chocoboy..." The list went on
until only Laguna and Fujin were left.

There is no way anyone is going to play this game. Laguna was thinking.
How can anyone go against their friends?

"Boy number seven, Laguna Loire."

He walked out the door, and grabbed the remaining bag. He right away
unzipped the bag to find a big bottle of Febreze poking out. "Is that my
weapon?!" Laguna cried. Oh well, no ones actually gunna play this game...
he thought as an arrow shot past his head.

What the?!

He turned around to see Wedge holding up a bow and arrow. Wedge charged
at him, knocking him to the ground, pinning him. He held an arrow his
chest angrily. Laguna turned his head towards his bag only to see his
faithful Febreze bottle out of reach. I'm screwed. Loire thought.

"My captain died... now I'm gunna win this for him! Good bye." Wedge raised
his arrow as Laguna tried to struggle out. Wedge was about to strike and
...

He dropped dead.

Laguna opened his eyes and blinked and saw blood all over Wedge. He
flopped him over to see a bullet wound, straight in his chest. A perfect
shot.

A sniper must be around. A sniper who saved his life. He looked around
for the person, but no one was in sight. He picked up his bag and ran
into a forest area. The game had hardly begun, and three people lay dead.

AN: =o! My, my... please don't get mad at us if your favorite character
dies! ^^* Laguna was pretty lucky, huh? I wonder who shot Wedge. ^_- Hmm...
Zell must learn to control his fan girls, Nini said that she would be
willing to let everyone go if she got Zell, but Mimi resisted the offer.
Or else there would be no story, hm? Reviews welcomed! ^^
