Wrong Intentions.
Am I...dead?
*******
(Zell's point of view)
I sat in the waiting room pretty much by myself. Because Squall had to see if his brother was alright, Rinoa and Selphie went with him too. That was when I heard my name being called, but when I heard the name Seifer Almasy being called after my name, I froze. It couldn't be the same seifer...could it? I thought to myself. But my fears came true once I seen the 6, 2 blond walk towards me. I tried to hide my face but it was already to late.
"Hey! long time no see, looks like I'll be able ta fight you again." Seifer said while he had that same smirk that I remembered.
"What are you doing here seifer? Don't you have something more important to do other than annoy me." I said, as I looked up at him.
"You know, as a matter of fact I do have something more important to do. You see I came here to win this tournament heheheh, and you will be the first on my list...chicken-wuss heheheh."
"Yeah we'll see about that, but I don't plan to lose. So we'll see just who's the victor of this fight seifer." With that I stood, and walked towards the staff member that had been waiting for us.
Luckily my fighting gear was in a whole other section than seifer's. I equipped my fighting gloves and walked towards the staff member and waited for seifer to come so we could be on our way. But I didn't have to wait long for I seen him walk out of the section his equipment was in and walk towards me and the staff person.
"Are you ready Zell? 'cause I am." Seifer said while walking past me and through the door.
"Yeah I'm ready, and this time I won't hold back!" I muttered while slowly following him and the staff member.
"Well, well I guess I won't have to worry about hitting you too hard then. 'cause there's no way that I'm gonna hold back either heheheh."
I REALLY wanted to get this over with so that I wouldn't have to be around him! and he wasn't making it any easier...actually he was making it worse. So I just followed the staff to the entrance to the arena ignoring all of seifers remarks about him winning and the annoying taunts.
I walked up the few stairs that led the way to the arena followed closely by seifer. I took up my fighting position and waited for the announcer to tell us when to start.
DING. That was the bell and I watched as seifer slowly inched towards me. Swish, "He has gotten faster since the last time I had a duel with him." I thought as I dodged out of the way of his gunblade. I threw a swift powerful punch at his face, but He already seen it coming and dodged it easily. He slashed at me again with his weapon, and this time I knew it had hit it's target as I felt the metal of the blade slice swiftly through my shoulder. AHHHH! I gave out a painful scream as I gripped my shoulder and fell to my knees. I looked up at my taller opponent who was sitting there with another one of his cocky grins.
I got to my feet, looked, and dodged out of the way just in time to save myself from getting my head sliced off by seifer's gunblade. I knew after just a few minutes that this would be a fight that kept me on my toes. I lunged forward and this time my armored fist connected with his ribcage, I grimaced as I heard a sickening CRACK, come from inside his body. Now for how much I didn't like seifer I almost felt sorry for him while I watched him double over and fall to the ground and groan in pain. I took this chance to cast a quick cure spell on my shoulder, before he could get to his feet.
"You...have gotten better...to be quick enough to land a punch...I didn't think that you would be able to actually land a hit on me." Seifer said while getting onto his feet.
"Yeah, and just what made you think that seifer?" I said while getting back into my fighting stance.
"Hmm, we'll see Zell, we'll see but know this! You don't have the upper hand here." At what He said I was kind of puzzled, but I didn't have time to think about it, as I dodged out of the way of his gunblade. I did a backflip, and landed about six feet away from my opponent. Then lunged forward and threw a punch at his face, but He already noticed what I was doing, and put an arm up to block. But what He wasn't expecting was the kick that connected with his gut. I stepped back a few paces and watched as he fell to the ground clutching at his stomach in pain.
"So I'm not the one with the upper hand hmm? Well it sure looks like it seifer." I said while stepping back into fighting stance.
"Just...you wait Zell! I will win!" He said from where he was on the ground.
"Y'know seifer I'm starting to think that your bluffing. Because you haven't pulled off one trick that I haven't expected from you." I said while I watched him get up off of the arena floor.
I wanted to end this quickly, so before he could get back into his fighting stance, I rushed forward and landed a solid punch right in his face. He staggered back a few steps and fell down on one knee. His head flew up, and I could tell that he was concentrating on something, but before I knew what was going on he cast an ultima spell at me. I looked on in horror as the green ball of intense heat flew through the air ripping, tearing, and melting the cement of the arena floor, and it was aimed for...me!
I felt the atmosphere around me change from somewhat cold to burning hot, I felt the impact, and the intense heat of the flames as it engulfed my body in a radiant green light, I felt the pain shoot through my body like a million bullets going through me all at the same time, then I looked up to my opponent was already on his feet. He was walking towards me with an evil smirk that I absolutely hated.
"So...Zell, how do you like the pain of defeat?" He said while he brought down his gunblade in an arc across my chest.
"AHHHH!" I screamed in pain. I watched as my white tank top quickly became dark red. I couldn't think, I couldn't talk, I couldn't even hear what was going on around me. All I could do was feel the intense pain, as it surged through my body. I couldn't even begin to describe the pain, I couldn't even begin to come up with a word for this pain that I was feeling. Then to make it worse he bent down on one knee, and roughly wrenched my shoulder back so that I was looking strait into his eyes. He said something that I couldn't understand. Then I felt as his gunblade was thrust through my body. I wanted to scream, I wanted to wake up and find that this was just a bad dream. But in the state that I was in, all I could do was feel the pain that he was causing, and see that evil smirk. Then he pulled the gunblade as fast and painful out of my body as he could. I couldn't even get enough strength to even whisper a cry of pain. Then I felt all the pain go away as I faded into the world of unconsciousness.
*************
(Rinoa's point of view)
I watched on as Cale was taking hits and blows, then giving them back harder to this...kiros I think his name was. Then I felt great relief as Cale drug his opponent to the side of the arena and throw him over, ending the fight. But that little relief was short lived as I watched Cale fall, and hit the ground with a loud thud. I looked over at Squall but He wasn't in the same place as he was a couple minutes ago. I looked around the room and seen squall's back disappear through the door leading to the entrance to the arena. I started walking towards the same door, but I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned and seen selphie, and told her what I was going to do. She wanted to come with me also. I told Zell what we were doing and headed out with selphie.
Just as we walked out I seen Cale's opponent being carried to the infirmary on a stretcher, then I seen Squall walking beside another stretcher. He looked up at me grimly and slowly walk over to where Selphie and me were standing.
"So, how is he doing?" I asked.
"Um...well it's to early to tell but the doctor says that He's going to be fine, but I just hope that she's right. After seeing what He went through...never mind I just don't want to talk about it right now." He said.
I could here the concern in his voice, to tell you the truth I was concerned about the whole situation myself. "Could we go and see if He's ok?" I asked.
"Well it probably wouldn't hurt." Squall said as he started walking in the direction of the infirmary, with selphie and me right behind him.
We had gotten past the medics telling them that we were friends and family. As soon as we walked in the room He had most of the blood wiped off and the wounds cleaned, but He was still unconscious. I heard a click and turned to see the doctor come through the door.
"Hello I'm Dr. Kadowaki, now where is the brother of this young man?" She asked, I pointed towards Squall who was standing next to the bed that Cale was lying on.
"Well I'm glad to say that He'll be fine, but...He won't be able to use his left arm as normally as He used to." She said looking at Squall with a little hesitation in her voice.
"How long before He'll wake up." Squall asked.
"Well, He should wake up pretty soon." The doctor said.
She was right, for just as she was done saying that, I seen a movement come from the bed. I looked over and Cale was just opening his eyes.
"Hey how are you doing?" I asked.
"Ok I guess, but my arm still hurts a bit." He said.
"Well that would be understandable, you took quite a beating in that last battle." The doctor said.
"Hey Dr. Kadowaki, do you know who will be fighting next?" I asked the doctor curiously.
"Well, I think it was a young man that went by the last name of Caraway, but I don't know the other one...why?"
"Caraway! That would be my brother! Do you know when his fight starts?" I asked anxiously.
"Well...not for sure but I think it already started."
"Ok, well I'm going to go and see anyone wanna come with me?" I asked while looking around.
"I do!" Cale exclaimed while trying to get out of the hospital bed.
"No Cale! your going to stay here and rest. I don't know if your going to have to fight in another match, and if you do than I want you to be rested up and ready for it." Squall said while holding Cale down in his bed.
"Ok well, I'll be back in a little bit. I just want to see how he's doing, so see ya." I said while walking out the door and down the hall to the waiting room.
Once I got to the waiting room, I looked out the window, oh no! Was the first thing that went through my mind as soon as I seen my brothers opponent. I hoped that I would never have to see him again as long as I lived. But I was glad that Zell had the upper hand, at that thought I smiled and hoped that the battle was just about over and Zell would be the victor. But that thought was (once again) quickly vanquished as I watched a huge ball of green fire shoot through the air heading right towards my brother. I watched in horror as it engulfed his whole body, He flew back a few foot, but managed to land on his feet, thenI watched him crouch to the ground in pain. I wanted to run out there and make sure He was ok, but the staff people wouldn't even let me get down the hall that led to the arena, so I had to watch on and hope that He would be alright. But that thought didn't last long as I watched seifer slash him right across his chest. Now I wanted to go and beat seifer up personally but I probably wouldn't ever get close enough to punch him. So I kept watching on hoping that Zell would do something that would make him win instead of seifer. But after I watched seifer skewer Zell with his gunblade I could have killed anything that was close enough, but luckily when I came to watch, I chose a corner away from anyone else. I couldn't believe my eyes as I watched Zell pass out and fall to the ground in a pool of blood, but this was my chance to get through to the arena and wait for my brother to come through the door on a stretcher, as I waited I couldn't take it anymore and broke down into tears. I couldn't believe what was going on first seifer had already tried to attack me, now He had succeeded in hurting my brother and who knows what else he could do to the rest of my family, But I was interrupted from my thoughts as I heard the medics coming through with Zell on a stretcher, I told the medics who I was and followed them to a room down at the infirmary. As I tried to get through the door one of them told me that I couldn't go any farther unless I was a family member. So I told them that I was his sister and got through to the room that He was in.
I got to the bed that He was laying on, but I couldn't look at him without getting sick to my stomach, as I seen all the bloody cuts and bruises that were all over his body. It was like in a horror movie the condition his body was in with all that blood. I heard footsteps coming from behind me. So I turned around to face Dr. Kadowaki.
"Pretty bad isn't it?" She asked looking at Zell.
"Will he live?" I asked anxiously.
"Well honestly I don't know, but right now it looks really bad." She said with a sympathetic look on her face.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, this was my older brother we were talking about. I had never imagined Zell in a state so bad that he might...die! I couldn't take it anymore, I had to take a walk, and clear my head so I told the doctor that I would be back in a little bit, and walked out of the infirmary. I didn't know where my legs were taking me but soon I found myself at the end of one of the many hallway's in this huge place. I leaned up against one of the walls and slumped down, I started crying, I just couldn't take it anymore. First one of my friends got beaten pretty bad and now it was my brother. Then I heard a faint voice, so I followed it till I came to the back of the one person that I wanted to personally beat to a pulp. But before I could do anything I decided to listen to what he was talking about. I was shocked to say the least He couldn't just be satisfied with hurting my brother but He was planning on attacking this stadium and kill everyone in it. But then I started wondering how he would do it. That was until I heard Commander Almasy. So he was in the army, I would bet anything that it would be the galbadian army for that was the only one that I could think of that would be so merciless as to murder a whole stadium full of innocent people. I had to get this news to Squall, for I knew from hanging out with him that He was a sergeant of the Balamb army, and probably the youngest one at that. So I made my way back to Cale's infirmary room. Once I got through the door Cale was the first one to ask a question.
"So how is he doing? Did he win the match? Where is he?" Cale asked hurriedly.
"Whoa...hold on Cale I can only answer one question to a time. But he isn't doing very well as of right this minute." I said with a bit of worry, and sadness, everyone looked at me funny and asked what I meant.
"I'll answer your questions later but Squall I need to talk to you right now." I said anxiously, Squall gave me a weird look and asked why, but I just grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the room.
"What's going on Rin?" He asked seriously.
"Squall! There's going to be an attack on this stadium! A-after the tournament is over!" I said hurriedly.
"Whoa hold on, where did you here this?" He asked quietly.
"Squall...I went to watch Zell's match, and when I got there his opponent was...seifer." I looked up into Squall's eyes, and seen the worry the was very evident in them. "I stayed and waited for Zell to come out, but I never got to talk to him 'cause had beaten him up really badly. I followed the medics down here to the infirmary and I seen Zell a lot closer. To tell you the truth I couldn't even look at him without wanting to throw up." I watched as the look in Squall's eyes turned from worry to anger. "Then I couldn't take it anymore and I had to take a walk and clear my head. So I left Zell's room and I was going to come here and tell you guy's but I had too much on my mind and I just went where my feet took me, and I found myself at the end of a hall. I was just about to rest for a minute but I heard voices, so I followed them and I ran into seifer but he had his back turned to me and was talking on a vid-phone. At first I didn't think it was nothing until I started listening, I heard his whole plan, but by the time I heard everything I was thinking about how he was going to do it, but I heard the person who seifer was talking to say commander almasy." I explained anxiously.
At this Squall looked like He was thinking of something to do about this. But He didn't have enough time to think of anything to do as one of the staff walked up and told Squall that his match was next. After hearing that I was scared...very scared, I didn't want Squall to get hurt just like Zell and Cale. He was about to walk away but I quickly grabbed his arm, as he stopped and turned around slowly I asked him what we should do about this, he said that he had to go but after his match we would take care of it. After that he turned and followed the staff member to the waiting room, while I went to tell selphie and cale what was going on.
***********
(Squall's POV)
As I walked away from Rinoa I started thinking of what to do, I knew that seifer had done some bad stuff but...I didn't think that he would go as far as to blow up a stadium, and kill thousands of people that were inside. "But I wouldn't put it past him." I thought to myself.
I entered the waiting room and the staff member I was following pointed to the person who would be my opponent. I looked over uninterestedly until I seen that it was seifer, he looked at me with his trademark cocky smirk. I knew he was probably thinking that this would be a piece of cake but I wasn't about to let him win after what I heard from Rinoa, I knew that I couldn't let her down and definitely the people that were in this stadium.
"Hey Leonhart, looks like I get to finally show you that your not the best anymore." he said while smirking.
"Well seifer, I don't really know if you can back those words up, but I can assure you that I won't go down as easily as you think." I said making sure that he knew that I wasn't going to back down.
"HA! Well we'll just have to see about that leonhart, so are you ready to get your butt kicked or are you gonna chicken out."
At that I motioned toward the staff to tell him that I was ready to get prepared for my next match, He nodded and we started walking towards the room where I had left my gunblade.
I made my way towards my locker, after I had equipped my gunblade and the few spells that I had left, I started walking towards the entrance, but before I got there I heard hushed voices. I knew that it could only be seifer 'cause we were the only ones back here and the staff person was waiting patiently by the door. So I decided to see what just what could be so important that would interrupt seifer from (kicking my butt) sooner so I followed the voices until I could here them almost perfectly I could tell one of them was seifer, but the other one I couldn't tell.
"Alright leautenent, I have changed the plan. I want you and your squad to attack after my next match. I don't care if I win! I want the late Generals three kids dead by the time your attack is over! I don't care how you do it I just want it done!" I heard seifer say with a little enthusiasm
"YES SIR! I can assure you that all three of them will be dead, but...is there anything else sir?" the other person said.
"Hmm, yeah if I don't already take care of Leonhart I want him dead too and maybe his brother...yes I want the two leaonhart's out of my way also." At this time I could see seifer but I new he couldn't see me, I knew that I had to do something after hearing this, I knew I should have believed Rinoa I thought to myself. I walked quickly to the staff member and asked if I could use a phone. He directed me to the pay phone and told me to make it quick. I dialed Balamb Garden, and asked for Commander Kinneas. the operator told me to wait a minute so she could connect me to the line.
"Hello?" I heard Irvine say on the other line. Wow thats the first time it has ever been that quick, I thought.
"Yeah hey Irvine, I need a favor bud."
"Yeah hey Squall, uh what kind of favor exactly?"
"Uh I have a problem here at the stadium."
"C'mon Squall what kind of problem? You get your arm chopped off or something?" Irvine said jokingly.
"No man! C'mon be serious here! After what I just heard this won't taken as a joking matter. Seifer decided to show up today and it seems he has something up his sleeve. I just heard him talking with what looked like a galbadian soldier and he wants to attack this stadium after this next match, He also wants my brother and me dead also a few of my friends that came along." I said seriously.
"Ok, ok Squall I believe ya man but do you know how many soldiers he has under his command?"
"No, all that I know of is seifer and the leautenant that he was talking to, but I would say that probably five seeds would be enough to bring them down."
"Ok, I'll come with five specialists and we'll be undercover until we know more alright."
"Ok, but meet me at the registration desk, I'll most likely be waiting but if things are out of hand before you can get there go to the infirmary and ask for either leonhart or caraway alright."
"Whoa! Hold on a minute! Did you just say caraway? As in general Caraway of Galbadia!?"
"Yeah but he's not the general anymore...listen I have to go but I'll explain more of the details later."
"Ok bud I'll try to meet you at the registration desk, over and out." I heard the click on the other line and knew he had hung up now I just had to make it through this match...hopefully seifer wouldn't be any better than the last time we battled. That would be very unlikely I thought. I made my way towards the entrance and seen seifer waiting there with the staff member.
"Hey Leonhart I was just beginning to think that you wouldn't show heheheh."
"Yeah right seifer I don't back down from ANYTHING and you should at least know that."
"HA! Well guess your right but I don't plan on losing ESPECIALLY to you leonhart."
I motioned toward the staff member, telling him that I was ready to start the match, he nodded and I followed him towards the arena with seifer sulking behind me muttering something that I couldn't make out.
I walked out onto the arena and drew my gunblade. I knew that this wouldn't be a very easy battle but I was hoping that I could still meet Irvine at registration and not be on a hospital bed in the infirmary. I took up my fighting stance and waited for the signal to start. BRING! That was the signal and seifer was already running towards me, I raised my gunblade over my head and blocked the blow, seifer already had his gunblade in the air and headed for my body. I lowered my gunblade and blocked it again then I sidestepped to his right and sliced at seifers chest but he already blocked and was backing up to throw a hard blow at my head. I ducked and did an uppercut that totally caught him by surprise. I sliced from his left hip all the way up to his right shoulder. He blinked a couple times and backed up, slowly clutching at his body. I took this chance and threw a punch at his face which brought him down to his knees.
I took a couple steps back and watched on as he pulled himself up off the ground. He looked at me angrily and lunged forward he aimed his blow at my neck this time but I blocked it, he did a full body turn and aimed the blow at the other side of my neck but I blocked that also. But what he did next totally surprised me, he somehow teleported behind me and I felt the cold steel of his blade slice through my back in an arch. I was determined not to be bothered by this injury so I turned and thrust my gunblade at his body. He already seen it coming so he ducked out of the way and almost pulled of a successful uppercut but this time I was too fast for him and brought my weapon down with extreme force onto his shoulder. He let out a painful yelp as he jumped back and landed a few foot away from where I was standing.
"Looks like you have gotten better leonhart but how will you manage against this." I didn't know what he was talking about but I soon found out as he shot a blast of intense heat that had a green glow to it. What went through my head before the blast could engulf me was how could seifer get something this? It was extreme pain as the burning went through my whole body, I wasn't going to show seifer how much it hurt so I just stood there glaring at him.
"How the HECK! Did you get an ulima spell seifer?" I said his name with annoyance.
"Well I'll tell you Squall, I'm in the galbadian army, heheh so they supply me with all my needs and ultima spells were one of them heheh. So does it hurt Squall? Cause I already used it once and the guy looked as if he wanted to die."
"You know what seifer it does hurt, but not as much as this will." I said as I concentrated on my own magic. I had found the apocalypse spell while on one of my missions to Centra and I had saved this last one for such an occasion. "now seifer I have a present for you."
(A/N yeah hey peepulz'z umm ive beaten FF8 but I only heard of the apocalypse magic thingy but never got too use it so don't yell at me if I get it wrong heheh soooooorrryy ok bak 2 the stry)
I concentrated all of my willpower to this spell, I had used it before but everytime I did, it took a lot of energy. I felt the air around me heat up, I could barely breath, my head was starting to hurt from concentrating so much power to one purpose, but before I could cast the magic, I heard a blood-curdling scream, I felt a pain in my stomach I opened my eyes to look into seifers, then I looked down to see that the blade of his Hyperion was thrust through my abdomen. I looked to where I heard the scream and seen a frantic Rinoa behind a glass window trying to get through the staff members. Then I looked back at seifer who had a disbelieving look in his eyes.
"I'm not going to lose this time Leonhart." He said those words a bit shaky.
Then I seen the disbelieving look in his eyes that told me I should be on the ground begging for mercy. But I wouldn't beg for mercy especially NOT from seifer. I looked down at the gunblade that had been thrust through me. I grabbed the hilt of the weapon and slid it out of my body and threw it to the ground. I was starting to feel light-headed, then my knee's gave out and I fell down on one knee, but I wasn't about to give up, not against seifer. So I concentrated on the unfinished apocalypse spell again, and this time I was successful. I raised myself to my feet, then looked down at my hands and it was almost as if they weren't there, then slowly raised my head to look around me. I seen seifer getting pounded by numerous forces of energy, and then I felt the almost unbreathable atmosphere come back to normal. It was as if some unseen force was holding both of us up, for as soon as the effects of the apocalypse disappeared we both fell down to one knee at the same time.
"Looks...like you...had a few...tricks up your sleeve after all...leonhart but can you stand AGAINST THIS!" Seifer said while rising quickly to his feet, I heard him utter... "unknown" then I watched as a black hole started to open up a few foot from where seifer was standing...or rather half standing half slumping. Now the hole was fully opened and some kind of...thing that I didn't know the name of came out. It's hand's had blades instead of fingers, It's head had three eyes and a mouthful of razor-edged fang's it had three huge horns on the top of it's head, and it's body was long and it had thick black scales all the way from it's head back to it's tale, lining the top off it's back it had scale-like plates sticking out, and at the very end of it's tale was a mallet like ball. So in other words it was big, ugly, and it was focusing on me.
"So squall...how do you like my new pet? I named it Mephala the king of the unknown, kinda catchy haha but now I will enjoy watching you die leonhart!" Seifer must have had something to control it for he didn't have to say anything and it was already moving. I watched as it made it's way towards me as it got closer I slowly and painfully tried to backup away from it but it kept moving forwards. This was it I knew, for I couldn't move any farther. I closed my eyes and waited for the final moments of my life to come, just hoping that it would be quick and not too painful. Then I felt...breathing I waited for a couple minutes but nothing happened, I slowly opened my eyes and was thoroughly sickened as I found myself looking strait into it's eyes. They were the nastiest color of green, purple, and brown that I had ever seen and it was all kind of mixed together. Then it...backed away for some reason and...started to talk.
"MASTER LEONHART, I AM SORRY FOR DISTURBING YOU, PLEASE FORGIVE ME." with that it backed away leaving me totally in shock from what I had just heard but then I heard a voice inside my head that I knew wasn't coming from me asking what I wanted it to do. I didn't know what to do there bu--
"W-WHAT are you doing! Kill him NOW!" I looked up to see seifer yelling at this monster that was asking me...ME what I wanted it to do. But as I looked at seifer all of the painful memories of how we used to be friends and what had happened that made us enemies came rushing through my head, then I thought of what Rinoa said that he did to Zell, and THEN what I heard of his plan to burn down this stadium and kill everyone inside, focusing especially on my friends, brother, and...me all of these thoughts came through my head in a big rush. Then I heard that voice again saying something about understanding, then I seen this huge monster started charging at seifer.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!! YOUR SUPPOSED TO ATTACK HIM, NOT ME!" I heard seifer yell at this monster, but it didn't slow it's pace it just kept running at seifer who was starting to freak out and start yelling, and running in terror. But this...monster still caught up to him and smacked him in the back with it's tail, which sent him flying about ten foot then it jumped forward and clamped down on his shoulder with it's teeth, and that earned it a painful cry from seifer. I stood there not knowing what to do, sure I hated seifer but I didn't want him to die because of me, so I tried this talking thing through my head.
"What do you think your doing!" I thought.
"MASTER LEONHART, IS IT YOUR WISH FOR ME TO STOP?" I heard in response.
"What do you think! Yes I want you to stop!" I yelled back.
"AS YOU WISH MASTER." With that it backed away, but before it could do anything else I heard a sound like something shooting from on top of the building. I turned around to see a person...no a SOLDIER! with a rocket launcher shoot at this monster that I had control over.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET OUT OF THERE!" I yelled through my head, but it was too late, time seemed to slow down as I watched the rocket make it's way towards this monster and hit it in the side. I was really hoping that this thing's hide was as tough as it looked, but I guess it wasn't for it exploded along with the rocket. Black and dark green guts went everywhere. But before I could do anything I felt a pain in my chest I looked down at where I felt the pain and seen blood flowing out quickly. Then I felt another painful force rip through my body, and seen that I was shot again only this time in the stomach. I could see my vision getting blurry and I felt myself collapse down to my knee's. I could hear gunshot's and painful, bloodcurdling screams coming from the crowd, I weakly looked up and seen more and more galbadian soldiers cause chaos throughout the stadium. I looked over to where seifer used to be and he was slowly making his way towards his gunblade. I felt pain everywhere, The pain was throbbing, keeping in time with my heartbeat, growing more and more painful with each heartbeat. Then I felt intense heat, and pain shoot through my right side, I heard the explosion and felt the force pick me up off of the ground, then I felt the wind flying past me for a split-second, then the loud CRACK! That I knew to be coming from somewhere in my body but I couldn't quite pinpoint the spot for there was so much pain going through my body at the same time.
I knew just vaguely when I hit the ground that I had landed, I had no idea that the human body could take this much pain and still be alive...or even conscious for that matter! I slowly, painfully opened my eyes but that wasn't much use for I couldn't make out anything except I seen something big and shiny laying right beside my head. I reached for it and recognized that it was the hilt of my gunblade that I had grabbed. Then I seen a black spot that even in my state I knew that it was a hole of somekind so I tried to lift myself off of the ground but as soon as I moved ANYthing all that I could feel intense pain shoot everywhere, but I was determined not to die today I still had things that I wanted to do. I had to find out what seifer was up to, and I had to protect the people of Balamb for I was a soldier of the Balamb army a seargent for that matter I had people to protect I had a duty to keep and I couldn't do anything like that if I was dead, so I ignored the pain. I used all of the strength that I had left to slowly inch towards the hole. Once I finally got to it I found that there was a thin grate that was blocking anyone or anything from going in or out. I grabbed onto the mesh of the grate and with all my strength that I could muster I pulled myself up to my knee's and grabbed my gunblade from where it lay on the ground at my side, I painfully raised my gunblade over my head and swung down the last remaining strength that my body had and I gave out and fell onto the metal of the grate, then I heard another rocket being fired, and I guess it was aimed at me but it had missed just by a few feet.
I felt the force of the explosion push me through the grating, I couldn't come up with enough strength to even scream, I felt the grating rip my skin and through my clothes but the force was powerful enough to get me through the grating and into the space behind it. I couldn't feel the pain anymore and I was watching the darkness overcome me then it was all over I could feel, hear, see, or smell anything I didn't know if I was dead or something but I knew that it was over and I was out of harm's way.
