Some days I just wanna up and call it quits,
I feel like I'm surrounded by a wall of bricks,
Everytime I go to get up I just fall in pits,
My life's like one great big ball of shit,
If I could just put it all in to all I spit,
Instead I always try to swallow it,
Instead of staring at this wall and shit,
While I sit writers block sick of all this shit,
Can't call it shit, all I know is I'm about to hit the wall,
If I have to see another one of mom's alcoholic fits,
This is it, last straw, that's all, that's it,
I ain't dealing with another 'reviewer of fanfics',
I'm like a skillet bubbling, till it filters up,
I'm about to kill it, I can feel it building up,
Blow this building up, I've concealed enough,
My cup run'ith over I've done and filled it up,
The pen explodes and busts and ink spills my guts,
You think all I do is stand here and feel my nuts,
But I'm a show you, what, you gonna feel my rush,
You don't feel it then it must be to real to touch, Peel a dutch, I'm about to tear shit up,
Goosebumps, yeah I'm a make your hair sit up,
Yeah sit up, I'm a tell you who I be,
I'm a make you hate me cause you ain't me, You ain't, it ain't to late to finally see,
What you close minded fucks were to blind to see,

A/N: 7th chapter! I thank all the reviewers. This is my third story posted on this site, and it has the most reviews, the others only have like 3 or 5, or something. Well, R&R.
OFX, NEVER diss Linkin Park on my story! I don't care if you don't like them but don't tell me that, or I will have to reconsider everything I sent to you! Thanx!
And Amanda, I have been using italics, it just mustn't be appearing on FF Net. I'll try to find out a way to make it appear if that keeps happening.
A CHILD HERO
CHAPTER 7 – "IS THIS... THE END?"
Last chapter...
"What I truly want? What?" Shayne asked, confused.
What do you mean? What you truly want? What do you truly want, Shayne? Zell asked.
As I said before, I'm getting to that! Shayne started to get really pissed off with Zell.
"Heh heh heh... you know!" He told Shayne, "You said it 28 days ago!" Shayne started to count on his fingers.
"...My birthday? How? What?" Shayne asked himself as the Zegarian listened to him.
"You remember now?" The Zegarian asked, still listening to Shayne's thoughts.
"Uh! Yes! I always asked for, well since my birthday..."
[End Flashback]
This chapter...
"What did you want since your birthday?" Zell asked, eager to know. Shayne was staying quiet.
"...I... wanted to... be... stronger than my father..." Shayne hesitantly told them. The Zegarian grinned the largest grin Shayne had ever seen in his life, even bigger than Seifer's.
"Exactly what I wanted to hear! Now! I have fulfilled your wish!" He told them, still with the huge grin. Everyone looked at the Zegarian with a confused look.
"What do you mean?" Shayne asked, clenching his fists and facing him. The Zegarian chuckled.
"I have done it. The wish was mine as well, remember?" He informed them and they just stood still with their mouths open.
"You are... I know your name! You are... my... half-brother! The one they call 'Tarragon' aren't you?" Shayne asked, knowing it was the truth. A smirk appeared on the Zegarian's face.
"For once, you are correct, Shayne. But I bet your father already knew that, didn't you, since you named me?" Tarragon asked. Squall grunted.
"I thought it was you, but why are you doing this, Tarragon? Why become evil?" Shayne asked, confused.
Zell yelled to Shayne, "Shayne, how did you know he was your half-brother?"
"I heard rumours from people in Garden one day! I didn't think it was true, but there he is, right in front of me! And you still haven't answered me, Tarragon" Shayne informed his half-brother.
"Well, I had a dream, the dream to defeat the one whom left me and my mother when I was only a child." He answered Shayne's question. Shayne gasped.
"Y-You don't mean- I mean you can't mean- M-my father?" Shayne asked, with exasperation.
"YES! My biological father. The one everyone calls 'Sir Squall Leonhart'!" He yelled, looking at Squall, who was clenching one fist and gripping his gunblade hard with the other hand.
It all stayed silent for a while, no one speaking, but everyone thinking. But even though they all now knew Tarragon could read their minds, they still thought out a plan to kill him. "You know I can hear you, yet you persist to think of a plan, you fools!" Tarragon yelled at them through his mind.
"He can hear us? That's right, Shayne told us!" Zell thought to himself, which Tarragon was listening in on. Everyone kept just speaking to Tarragon if they felt, but they didn't want to use their voice box to speak to him or anyone else.
"First of all, how did you get this ability, Tarragon?" asked Squall, looking as if he were in a dreamlike state or something.
"I have a very good answer for that, but I will only tell you after you fight me!" Tarragon exclaimed then stood from where he knelt down.
"What!?" Squall screamed out the one obvious question.
"I want a duel with my father, no interruptions, just me and you! Even though I would love to see my brother fight, I want to have my revenge!" He spoke out all this at once, spitting it in Squall's direction.
"Leave my father alone!" Shayne yelled, jumping in front of Squall, facing the end point of his gunblade at Tarragon. "You want to see how strong I am? Well, I'm giving you a chance right now, fight ME!" Shayne screamed at Tarragon.
"Just like me, aren't you? Wanting to fight anyone. Oh, I can tell you are my brother, but... there's something different about you. Something unusual... Very well!" Tarragon yelled out, raising his open hand in the air, looking as if to be calling forth something. Suddenly a sword started falling out of the sky and spun around and around until it landed point-end into the ground in front of Tarragon. Squall gasped, he looked paralysed.
"Shayne, I'm going to give you a chance to join me and live or stay with your pitiful team of friends and die. What will it be?" Tarragon asked giving Shayne a 2-choice answer.
Shayne didn't even have to think of his answer, "NO Tarragon! Why the fuck would I join you!? I'd rather burn in hell!!" Shayne screamed out using all his strength to get it out.
"Hmm, very well, brother! If you wish to die by your friends, you shall do just that!" Tarragon ran toward Shayne grabbing the sword and swinging at Shayne, but without even thinking Shayne swung his gunblade blocking the attack.
"Argghh!!!" Shayne yelled casting Firaga on Tarragon, burning him. "You'll pay for that one, bitch!" Tarragon yelled at Shayne, "Come forth, Great monster of dark, Diablos!" Tarragon screamed as he summoned Diablos. "Raagghhh!!" Diablos screamed, spreading back his wings as he fell from the sky.
"Diablos?? You can summon?" Shayne asked, falling back onto the ground. "H- how did you get it? Diablos? But the lamp!" Shayne stammered.
"It is... my fault." Squall spoke out. Shayne stared at his father, wondering what he meant, and then his question was answered. "I had attained Diablos then had discarded the lamp Headmaster Cid had given us," Squall confessed every word.
"But why would you discard it?" Shayne asked him.
"I figured we wouldn't need it anymore, thus I discarded it at-"
"Timber!" Tarragon butted in. "I was following youse that day, when you were helping that one that kept perving on you in the train," he informed.
"...That's right, but how couldn't I sense you were there?" asked Squall, confused why he couldn't feel his presence that day, remembering almost everything. Tarragon chuckled.
"That, my father, is for me to know, and for you to find-"but before Tarragon could finish his sentence Shayne grabbed his gunblade and swung for Tarragon's head...
