Wrong Intentions

By Kool Kaizer



Ch.8: Surprise, Surprise.



--------------------------------



"YOU FOOL! Why do I even put up with wimps like you!" Alktash screamed at me, once he found out I had lost to Squall once again.

"Shut up Alktash! I am the master here, and I am NOT going to take this from a lowly guardian like you!" I yelled back.

"You have NO knowledge of the power I possess, you pathetic human, I can grind your bones to ashes quicker than you could blink." He growled fiercely, while grabbing the collar of my shirt and pulling me up to his face.

"How dare you! I am your master! You are the one that shall be the dirt that I walk on!" I yelled back, unfazed by his threat.

"I have no master, I am my own leader, and I shall not take this from a weak human like you." He growled angrily.

"You are my guardian right, then I should not have to put up with this, I am the master and you are the guardian, now get that through your thick head Alktash, for I am not intimidated by your empty threats." I spat in his face, then heard him mumble something inaudible under his breath. "What was that! Are you talking back to ME!" I yelled angrily, as I punched him in the face, then threw him down on the ground. "I shall NOT have an inferior talking back to me! Do I make myself clear!" I screamed in rage, as I kicked him in the side, I watched him spit up blood, then stepped back satisfied that I had proved my point.

"...(cough)...Chrystal, I won't do it again Master Almasy." He growled almost inaudibly, then picked himself up off of the ground.

"Good, now that I have proved my point, I want you to train me more thoroughly in the ways of the blade, so that when I come across Squall again I will tear him apart, and I will be able to make his life miserable." I ordered, as I imagined killing Squall slowly and painfully by my hand.

"Yes Master, there is a secret place for training that I know of, it will seem like a year to us, but actually it will only be a day in the normal world." He growled lowly.

"Good, good, you shall take me there, and Alktash...I don't want to be referred to as Master again, from now on you shall refer to me as Lord Almasy, I think it has a certain ring of superiority to it, what about you?" I asked, liking the way he was listening to me now.

"Yes Lord Almasy, it does." He agreed, and I could tell that it was forced, then I watched him leave the room.

"Heh, all that you have to do is show them whose the boss, then they obey your every command." I though triumphantly to myself, then called a soldier into the room that I was in.

"Y-yes Major, what is it?" He asked, as he saluted then stood at attention.

"At ease Sergeant...I want preparations to be made for an attack on Balamb City, then one for Balamb Garden at the same time, make sure that no one is left alive at the Garden, I want no more threats to my plan...and if Sergeant Leonhart just so happens to be there...don't kill him, bring him to me first, I would like the pleasure of killing him myself...heheheh." I ended with an evil laugh.

"Yes sir, but what about Commander Kinneas, and General Kramer?" He asked.

"...Bring them also, I would like to have a little chat with them before they die." I answered.

"Yes sir, and is there anything else?" He asked.

"Why yes, come to think of it...there is...Crobik! Come here." I yelled, and a dark figure came out of the shadows at the other side of the room.

"Yes sir?" It asked in a metallic tone.

"Sergeant! Meet Crobik, he is an android, and he will be in command until I return." I said.

"Yes sir, but may I ask where you are going?" He asked.

"I will be gone...on personal business, and Crobik here will be in charge until I return, and when I do I want the preparations for the attack complete, and waiting for only my command." I ordered.

"Yes sir, and is there anything else?" He asked once more.

"No Sergeant, you are dismissed." I said, and watched as he stepped back into attention, saluted, then walked out the door.

"Crobik! I trust that you understand what is going on." I said, as I turned to look at the android.

"Yes sir, and I eagerly await your return." It answered, in the same metallic tone, and saluting.

"Good, I will be only a couple days at the latest, and I want you to look over the preparations, and make sure that there will be no flaws, and when I return... I expect everything to be in order." I ordered, watched him salute again, then I walked towards the door, and made my way outside to meet up with Alktash.

-----------------------------



"Hey Squall an Rin, you two ready to leave?" Irvine asked, walking up to us.

"Just about, why are the SeeD's here already?" I asked.

"No, but they should be here pretty soon." Irvine answered, then ran out the door.

"Well, looks like we're finally going back home Rin, are you excited about being able to see your parents again?" I asked, as I sat on my bed.

"Yes, it seems like I haven't seen them forever." She answered.

"Well, it has been two weeks, and they're probably worried about you Zell, and Selphie." I said.

"...Yeah, but could you come with me? I'm sure that that my parents would like to meet you." She asked, getting up from where she was sitting beside me.

"Sure, but I'm going to have to check in with the General first, then I'll probably be free." I answered, standing up also.

"Ok cool, well I'll see you in a little bit, I still have to pack some things." She said, then disappeared though the doorway.

I didn't know what it was about her, but she always seemed to be able to leave me feeling happy, and probably grinning idiotically like Irvine.

"I am glad to see that you two are finally together." I heard a familiar voice say from behind me.

"Hey Apock, where have you been these past couple of days?" I asked, turning around to face him.

"I had been called back to my homeworld on official business, but I am back now, anyway I have been asked to take you to the TTC." He answered, leaning up against the wall.

"TTC...what do you mean by that?" I asked.

"TTC stands for Training Time Continuum, you can set it for any length of time that you want, maybe a year...two years...maybe even ten, but it wont take more than a day at least in normal time." He explained.

"...Why would I need to do something like that?" I asked, sitting down on a chair.

"Well, I have bad news...and then even more bad news...which do you want first?" He asked.

"Well, I don't really care, just tell me." I said.

"Ok...there are towns all over Balamb right now...they are being burned to the ground, and the people living in these towns are either being killed or taken prisoner." He said gravely.

"WHAT!! why didn't you come to tell me earlier, and why hasn't the Balamb army put a stop to this?" I yelled, as I jumped to my feet.

"I am sorry that I haven't told you sooner, but Balamb Garden, and Balamb City have been attacked also, the Garden is still somewhat active, but it has been greatly weakened, there are many soldiers that have died, while protecting both the City, and the Garden, and it is only a matter of time before they are attacked again." He replied calmly.

"How can you be so calm when something like this has happened? And WHY are you wanting to take me somewhere else when I am needed here!" I yelled again, and walked to my window.

"Squall, calm down, what I just told you was the good news, the bad news is that Seifer has been trained by Alktash, he is a whole lot more stronger than what you could ever think, I know it's not the right time to do this but...I need you to come with me, inside the TTC you will be trained extensively for a year, it will only be you and me, and I will be teaching you everything that I know." He explained.

"A YEAR!? Apock! I cant be gone a year! I am a soldier of Balamb! It is MY duty to my country to defend it!" I yelled again.

"Squall! Calm down! It will seem like a year to us but it will only be a day here." He explained hurriedly.

"A day? How can a year be turned into a day?" I asked, finally calming down.

"There is a time continual devise at this place where we will be going, it's complicated but to make it simple...it speeds up the normal time for us by ninety-five percent, so it will be a full year for us, but it will be a day here, so you will only be behind the others by one day." He explained, trying to get me to comply.

"Sorry Apock, but I have to get back to the Garden, I have to get the others to safety, then I will probably have to go to war with Galbadia, so I don't have time to be going off on training expeditions like what you want me to." I said.

"Squall, I know that what I'm trying to talk you into sounds selfish, but it has to be done, if you even so much as try to fight seifer again...I know what will happen, and as your guardian, I cannot let that happen, so will you please rethink this." He pleaded.

"Apock, I am sorry...but I can't do it, I must get the others to safety." I said, walking towards the doorway.

"What about Rinoa?" He asked, stopping me from taking one step further.

"What do you mean by that?" I asked, turning to look at him.

"How do you plan on getting her to safety? And how do you plan on protecting her if anything happens along the way?" He asked.

"I'm taking her, Zell and Selphie to their parents, they will be safe there." I answered.

"Her parents are dead, they were killed by Seifer's men." He said sadly.

"What! When did this happen?" I asked in shock.

"It was on the day of the tournament." He answered, then our conversation was interrupted as Rinoa burst into my room crying, and ran to me.

"Rinoa, whats wrong?" I asked, as she sobbed on my shoulder.

"...sniff...A-Alma...told m-me what happened...to my p-parents..." She cried.

"Rinoa...I'm sorry about what happened to them..." I said, trying to comfort her.

"I n-never even g-got to say g-goodbye to th-them..." She said at length, then started crying again.

Right now I didn't really know what to do, this was the first time anything like this had ever happened to me, and I was never really good at helping other people solve their problems, but I had to do something now, it's just...I didn't know what to do.

"Rinoa...there is nothing I can do to bring your parents back...but I can promise you right now that I will do everything in my power to protect you and your brother and sister, but right now I don't know what to do, Balamb Garden has been attacked...so I can't take you there...but I will come up with something." I said, trying to comfort her once again.

"Thank you Squall, I feel a little better now." She said weakly, and started walking towards my door.

"Rinoa hold on a minute...there is someone I want you to meet, Apock, can you become visible again?" I asked looking over at him.

He gave a nod, and I heard a short gasp come from behind me.

"Rin, this is Apock, he was the one that told me about your parents, and also about the Garden." I explained, turning towards her.

"H-hi, Apock." She said, quickly trying to get the tears out of her eyes.

"Hello young mistress, it is a pleasure to meet you." He said, with a small bow.

"Just call me Rinoa." She said with a small smile.

"Rin, there are still some things that I have to talk about with Apock, so could you please do me a favor and gather everyone else in the living room?" I asked, then she nodded and left my room. "Is there anything else that I should know?" I asked, as I turned toward Apock again.

"...Yes...your father...has been killed also...during the attack on Balamb." He answered sadly.

"W-what...killed?...how?" I asked in shock.

"He was killed by a stray bullet...but I do not know anymore than that." He answered.

"Come on...w-we have to tell the others what has happened." I said, and walked out the door, quickly followed by Apock. Once I reached the living room, everyone was there, and wondering why I wanted them to come.

"Squall, what do you need? the transport ship will probably be here in a couple minutes, and I'm still not even ready yet!" Irvine whined as soon as I walked through the doorway.

"Irvine...there isn't going to be any transport ship." I said, sitting down in a chair.

"What do you mean? Of coarse there is gonna be a transport ship, they told me that they would send one the day after Christmas!" Irvine said.

"Well then you don't know what I know...Balamb garden has been attacked." I said, stopping long enough to hear the short gasps, then noticed that I had everyones attention. "and the army has suffered terrible losses, there are towns all over the country that have been attacked, people have died...and Galbadia is still on a rampage, also the Garden and Balamb City have been attacked." I said, and looked around the room to see a look of shock on everyones' faces.

"...What about dad? Is he alright?" Cale asked, as soon as he got over the shock of what I just told them.

"...(sigh)...Cale...dad...has been killed...he died in the attack on Balamb." I answered sadly.

""W-WHAT! He CAN'T be dead...NO!...he...just...can't..." Cale yelled, then for the first time in...a LONG time...I seen him trying to hold back from crying.

I knew that Cale had always been the closest with our dad...as a matter of fact everything that Cale knew about making those healing remedy things, he had learned from dad, so I knew how he would take it...hard.

"Cale...I know how you feel...I'm feeling the same way right now...but we can't let this get us down...what happened...happened, and as much as I hate to say this...there's nothing that we can do about it." I said, putting my hand on his shoulder.

"J-just leave me alone right now...I need some fresh air." He said, and pushed my hand off of his shoulder, then stomped out of the room, I heard heavy footsteps going through the house, then a door slammed and I knew that he went outside for a walk.

---------------------------------



I was mad...no, I was FURIOUS, I couldn't believe what I was hearing, first everything was going good...then Squall comes up and tells me that dad just died, I needed to get away from everyone else, I needed to clear my head, so I did the first thing that came to mind, and left the house.

The air was cold, but I didn't care, I just needed to get away from people, distractions, EVERYTHING so I started walking towards the outskirts of town.

"AHHHHHHHHHH!" I couldn't hold it in any longer, I just had to let it out. I found myself on my knees, and I could feel the cold snow leaking through the creases in my armor, "Seifer! WHY did you have to do something like this! WHY did you have to become our enemy? And WHY did you order the attack on Balamb?" Were the thoughts that were going through my head, I knew that seifer was the one who ordered the attack on the stadium, I knew that he was the one burning towns, and killing people, and I knew that he was the reason WHY my father is dead right now.

"SEIFER! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS!" I yelled, then for the first time since I could remember I felt...tears streaking down my face. No matter how much I tried I couldn't stop, the tears just kept falling, one after another, then I heard a low growling noise and quickly glanced up to find myself surrounded by a pack of snow wolves.

I quickly stood up and drew both of my swords from their sheathes, and linked them together to make the double blade, then I waited for them to attack. The whole pack was slowly circling me and I knew that one of them would attack soon, so I listened for any sound that would tell me that one was moving out of the pattern "...There!" I thought, then quickly turned and forced my blade into the wolf that had just attacked, then I turned and sliced at the other one that had also leapt forward.

I could feel the Adrenaline rush coursing through my body, and that added on to the anger and sorrow that I was feeling right now was just what I needed to pull off my limit break, I had trained endlessly at the training center in the Garden until I could finally perfect and use my limit break.

"Swiftness of the Onslaught." I whispered under my breath, and started concentrating, I could see that everything around me was slowing down, then I ran up to the wolf in front of me and quickly killed it with a deep cut into its chest, after that I turned to the second one and did the same until all eight of them were dead, then my trace of thought broke, and the world around me swiftly came back to normal, and once again I fell to my knees, panting and gasping for air.

Crunch I heard a light footstep in the snow and quickly looked up, and seen a girl with piercing green eyes, and long brown hair that went down to her shoulder blades, she quickly drew out a sword and lifted her hand at me.

"FIRAGA!" She yelled, and I seen burst of red flame ripping through the air towards me.

"What did she do that for?" I asked myself, as I quickly dodged out of the way and separated my long blade back into two swords. I looked back at her and seen that she was pulling out a second sword also.

"Why did you do that!" I yelled.

"Shut up! You killed my family, and burned my town! And now I will kill you!" She yelled, and lunged at me.

I raised my right sword to block her blow, then I did a backflip, and landed on my feet then fell into my fighting stance.

"I don't know what you are talking about! I haven't burned no towns!" I said.

"Don't play stupid with ME Gabadian." She yelled back, then lunged at me again.

I raised my right sword again, and blocked her blow once more, then blocked another one with my left sword. Now she was swinging left and right, and I was just trying not to get hit, but after just using my limit break, I knew that I couldn't keep this up much longer.

I dodged another blow, then jumped as high as I could and landed on a tree branch. "I really don't know what you are talking about, I haven't killed no one, I haven't burned no towns, so why are you blaming me for stuff I didn't do?" I asked.

"Get down her and fight like a man! I know you are trying to get me off guard, but it won't work!" was the only thing she said in return.

"No! Not until you tell me why you think I did those things." I yelled down at her.

"Alright then, have it your way!" She yelled back, then she walked to the base on the tree that I was in and quickly cut through it with one of her swords.

"Huh? What are those things MADE of?" I thought, then quickly jumped for another branch, but I missed and slammed into a tree, and heard a sickening crack coming from my left arm followed by intense pain.

I clenched my teeth together, and let out a low growl, then dropped both of my swords, and grabbed onto my arm. I felt more pain shoot through my body as I felt the blade of my opponents sword slash through my back, then I slowly turned to look at her, and for some strange reason she...looked sorrowful.

"I-I'm so sorry, I...thought you were someone else." She said, as she sheathed her swords, and rushed to my side, but I could barely make out what she was saying now, and seen the ground getting closer and closer, then everything went black.



-------------------------



"So if...General Caraway and his wife are dead...then where can we take Rin, Zell an Selphie?" Irvine asked, everyone but Irvine and me had left the Living room, and we were talking about where we should go next.

"Well...as far as I know...the outposts at the fire and ice caverns haven't been attacked yet...so we could take them to one of them." I suggested.

"Yeah, they could be safe there...what do you think Apock?" Irvine asked, looking over at him.

"I think we should take them to the Ice Cavern outpost, stock up on supplies, and get vehicles, then make our way towards Trabia Garden, as far as I know it hasn't been attacked yet either, and with the harsh surroundings it would be almost impossible for the Galbadian soldiers to make a successful attack." He answered.

"No, I don't think we should leave Balamb without first seeing General Kramer, I think we should take the three Caraway's to the Ice cavern outpost, then from there you Cale and me will go to Balamb Garden, and talk with the General about what we should do next, then one of us will come back and escort them to the Trabia Garden." I said.

"Well, that would seem logical, but the question is...do we have the time to do it. If Seifer could burn down and destroy Balamb City, and the Garden in a short period of time...then what is stopping him from attacking what's left of the Garden." Irvine said.

"Your right, it would be a whole lot easier if the phone connections weren't down, but with the Garden as bad as it is, and Balamb City almost totally ruined then we won't be able to be in contact with anyone there for a very long time." I said.

"How long do you think connections will be down?" Irvine asked.

"Well, if seifer doesn't attack again...then I would say a little more than a week, and we will be able to contact them from our current position." I answered.

"Well, we can't stay here, that is one thing for sure. If seifer is as strong as Apock says he is then we're sitting ducks in such a small town like this, so I think we should leave tomorrow morning, and hopefully Cale will be back by then." Irvine said.

"Yeah, either it's taking him a really long time to get over it...or something happened." I said, walking towards the window and looking out, it was snowing out...well no it was more than snowing, it looked like the starting of a blizzard from the look of it. "I just hope that it will clear up by tomorrow morning." I said.

"Yeah, it would really suck to travel in weather like that." Irvine agreed.

"Well, it's late, and I'm tired, so I'll see you guys in the morning." I said, and walked out of the living room, and headed for my bedroom, but as I passed Rinoa's room I stopped, for I heard...crying, so I knocked, and slowly pushed the door open. "Hey Rin...are you alright?" I asked.

"Y-yeah, I was just thinking about my parents." She said, as she wiped a couple tears from her face.

"...I know how painful it is...losing a loved one." I said, remembering when my Grandmother passed away, and now my dad.

"I didn't even have time to say goodbye..." She said, then started crying again.

"Hey...it's alright Rin, just remember the happy occasions that you had with your parents, then it won't feel so bad." I said, pulling her into a hug.

"...Thanks Squall...(sniff)...I feel a little better." She said, once again wiping her tears away.

"No problem, and you still have your brother and sister, and your friends...we'll always be here for you, don't forget that alright." I said, looking into her eyes.

"...Thank you so much Squall, I'm feeling a lot better now." She said, giving me a small smile, and pulled me into a tight embrace, then I felt her lips against mine, and we just stayed like that for a few seconds, then I pulled back.

"...Well...I'll see you in the morning." I said, then I walked out of her room, down the hall, and into mine.

I closed my door, then seen that Apock had been waiting for me.

"What do you need Apock?" I asked, as I changed into a different shirt.

"Are you ready for training?" He asked, and yes him along with the others had convinced me to go to this training room...or whatever it was that he had been talking about.

"...(sigh)...Yeah, I think so...but I just hope that the others will be safe while I'm gone." I answered.

"Well, they will be at the Ice Cavern Outpost, so I would think that they could last one day safely." He said.

"Yeah...but what if seifer and his troops attack while I'm gone?" I asked.

"Squall, you are not the only being who is keeping them alive, didn't you see that nothing terribly bad had happened to them in the tournament incident? It is true that they need you, but if something happens then they can take care of themselves also." He said.

"...I guess your right, but if seifer is as strong as you say he is...then I have something to worry about." I said.

"True, but that is why I am training you, so that you will be able to stand against him, but it will only be one day, so I think that they will be alright." He said.

"Ok, but I want to make sure that they get to the outpost, then we can go to the TTC." I said, getting into my bed.

"Fine, but no delays after that." He said, then disappeared.

I turned the lights out and drifted off into a deep sleep.

I opened my eyes, and looked around. I seen nothing at first...then I found myself in a poorly lit room, it was about the size of a basketball court, only it was made totally out of cement.

"Gwahahaha...I see that you finally made it Squall, so good of you to join us." I heard a sickeningly familiar voice say from behind me.

I turned to see who or what it was, but it was too dark to see it. I moved closer, then the lights seemed to brighten, I stood there in shock at the sight that I was looking at. It was seifer, and Rinoa was on her knees right next to him, then I looked over at the other figure and seen...CALE?

"Rin...let her GO seifer!" I yelled, then reached for my Gunblade...but found that it was missing.

"Hahaha, you have no weapon Squall, it looks like you are outnumbered...for everyone is against you, you are alone Squall, everyone...your friends...your family...your comrades...they have all deserted you, they have all given up, they have all died, and now...HAHAHA it is just you...and us, what difference do you think you can make? Everyone that you have trusted has betrayed you...why!...even your own brother has turned against you Squall, you are pathetic...you are a failure, and you can never win." He laughed.

"W-what are you talking about! Th-this isn't real...this couldn't happen..." I said, not believing what I was hearing.

"Oh...but it is real Squall, this battle...this...war...you WILL lose, and right now...I WILL PROVE IT!" He yelled, and pulled out his Gunblade.

Time seemed to stop, and I seen seifer's gunblade slowly gliding through the air and it was moving towards...Rinoa.

"NOOO!!!" I screamed, and no matter how hard I tried...no matter how hard I ran...I couldn't make to her in time. I watched in a horrified state, as the metal of the blade sliced through her, all sound seemed to intensify...and I could hear everything. I was mad...no...I was beyond mad, I couldn't understand HOW seifer could do such things...and seem to not even care.

I finally got close enough to her, I didn't care that seifer was towering over me, right now I didn't care about what my brother was doing standing there right next to him, all that I cared about right now was Rinoa. I pulled her into my arms, and I could feel her shaking, trying to stay alive for that one last moment, I could feel tears running down my face...then she spoke, her voice sounded perfectly normal and calm, but I knew that she was struggling inside.

"...Squall? is...is that...you?" She asked, slowly moving her hand to touch the side of my face.

"Rin! Yes it's me...oh Rin...please don't die on me." I yelled, trying desperately to hold back the tears.

"It is...ok Squall...just remember...(cough)...the...good...times...we...ha---" She stopped, and I could see tears starting to run down her face, I felt her tense, then I could feel all of her strength fail, and I watched her face slowly slump down.

"...no...NO!...NOO!!!..." I yelled, and now I could feel my tears flowing freely.

"Come on Squall, I thought that you were stronger than this, I would have never thought that you...of ALL people would end up like this...heheheh...well...guess I was wrong." seifer said passively.

"You just killed her...YOU JUST KILLED HER SEIFER!!! and NOW your talking like THIS!!! don't you feel ANYTHING!!! CAN you feel anything?! How could you DO this!?" I yelled, from where I was on the floor.

"Heheh, She was nothing special, she was a weakling, and let me tell you something Squall, the weak will perish, and only the strong will prevail." He yelled, and now he was starting to sound like he was going insane, and talking like a madman.

"...seifer...I will KILL YOU!!!" I yelled, as I jumped up, after gently laying Rinoa aside.

"And how are you going to do THAT huh? You don't even have a weapon, and NOW there is two of us...against one of you...hahaHAHAHHAHA!" He laughed, as Cale came up from beside him, and drew his sword.

"C-cale? Why are you siding with him!!! what happened to you?..." I asked.

"SHUT UP!!!" He yelled, and charged towards me, he swung his sword, but somehow I dodged it, and it kept on going like that for what seemed like a few minutes.

"What happened to you? And why are you siding with the likes of seifer?!" I yelled, after he stopped for a moment.

"You know full well what...happened! So SHUT UP!!!" He yelled again, then once more everything seemed to go in slow motion, and I found that I couldn't move. I watched my brother come closer and closer, I looked into his eyes, and seen pure hatred and anger, then I felt a jolt go through my body---

"AHH!!!" I shot up from my bed, and looked around. I found that I was back in my bed, back in the little town of Akthah, back in my Grandfather's house, and everything was...normal...only I could feel sweat running down the side of my head, and I was breathing hard.

"Scary...wasn't it?" I heard a voice ask from my right.

"Ah!" I looked over as fast as I could, I could also tell that my heartbeat was abnormal, but I relaxed a little when I seen that Apock was sitting there calmly.

"Rinoa! Where is Rinoa?" I asked, but was interrupted as my door opened, and I seen Rinoa walk in with a worried look on her face.

"Squall...are you ok? I just heard you scream." She asked worriedly, as she walked closer.

"Oh thank God your alright!" I exclaimed, as I jumped up and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Squall...what is going on?" she asked, still with a hint of worry in her voice.

"Haha! Nothing...just a bad dream was all, you can go back to bed now." I said happily, after knowing that what just seemed so real, was just a dream, and she was still here.

"O-ok...but if you need me I'm just down the hall." She said, then disappeared through my doorway.

"Now what were you saying Apock?" I asked, as I turned towards him.

"I...know what you have just seen, and only you can change it." He said, but I didn't really understand him.

"Y-you...mean...that...what I just seen...(gulp)...could turn into reality?" I asked, after it finally dawned on me.

"Yes, the elders and the council in my world, didn't think that I could persuade you to come with me to the TTC, so without asking what the outcome was...they decided to show you something that could happen if you don't come with me." He explained.

"I'll do anything to make sure that...that won't happen." I said determinedly.

"Good, now we have a big day tomorrow, so I think you should go back to sleep." He said, and I complied.
