Authors Note: As of June 18th I will be leaving or rather should I say moving out. I am moving to Louisiana to live with my boyfriend and go to college there for the next two years. After that I will probably move again to California with my sexy evil sephi-kins...what does that have to do with my writing? I'm just saying Chapter 49 & 50 will be a bit late. That's all. ::Runs before rocks nail her in the head.::

Chapter 48

Childhood Revenge

Magama and Hades sat upon the beast and rode across the battling soldiers and monsters, slaying their enemies on the way.

"Hades, we don't have time to kill." Magama said, her tone on the edge of irritation.

"Magama, I'm enjoying myself. I've watched my minions battle for me I can at least take a few mongrels down before we leave." he replied as he cut down a young man.

"I know..." Magama began but was suddenly dislodged from the steed as she flew through the air only to land on the ground. Hades lay a few feet growling as he was getting up. Both emerald eyes looked across the area to see what caused their trouble only to find a woman emitting a red blazing aura of red and gold. the woman was clad in black and her dark brown hair whipped back as the wind blew fiercely past her. She quickly ripped her weapon out of Hades' mount and glared at them grinning.

"Who is she?" Magama inquired while she stood up.

Hades narrowed his eyes as he looked at the SeeD and found those ice cold blue eyes vaguely familiar. He stood up and it was then when the realization hit him. He saw a young child looking up at him, her short brown hair tied back and ocean blue eyes glaring back at him in defiance.

Could this be the girl he encountered many years ago? The child that swiped at him to draw acidic blood from his flesh?

"Forgotten me already beast? I have come to kill you as you have promised me when I was a child." Eve announced, her voice echoing clearly with anger and determination.

"No human-child, I remember you now. You have grown into a remarkable young warrior. The demonic aura around you tells me so."

Eve widened her eyes noticing a feint red haze around her skin,

'Demonic?'

"I wonder though, why such an evil being as you fights on the humans side." Hades asked calmly, brushing dust off his robes. Eve ignored his statement,

"I have come to get revenge and I will gladly find pleasure in ripping your heart out. That is..." she said looking at him with a grin,"

"That is if you have one."

Squall had heard every word; it all came back to him. His daughter missing for five years and coming home with no memories that she had even grown. Her determination to fight and keep fighting...the rage and anger...he had always wondered why she became so distant so cold. She was preparing all the time...preparing for this very moment.

Blade Almasy stood but not ten feet away from Dava when he heard every word she stated to the demon. He had his eye on the two foes when Dava had come running past glowing burgundy as blood. Her gunblade had erupted with dark energy as she killed the dragon skillfully in a single thrust.

He grew angry but stopped when she faced the demon known as Hades. She had yelled that she had come for revenge.

Blade brushed his blonde strands behind his ear as he listened onward, getting away from the encountering monsters.

His sea green eyes noticed that Dava wasn't Dava at all. She was a completely different woman as she spoke and he could clearly feel the pain embedded in her words; see the hurt and loss in her eyes and the anger seething from her in her aura. But never had he seen an aura such as hers.

The miasma encompassed around the girl was a red and gold...maroon at a certain angle. Suddenly, his history lessons came rushing back at him: Maroon and blue auras symbolized Sorcery. Rinoa Leonhart was a blue sorceress because she was a pure specimen, while those like Ultimecia, Adel, and Edea were maroon...that was all tied to the dark source: the core of all that was fallacious. Was Dava a sorceress?

He noticed Squall Leonhart, not far off staring at the battle; surprise written all over his face. He quickly ran to his commanding officer and stood next to him.

"Who is she?" Blade asked and suddenly found his father to his left staring at the scene before them.

"You know her as Dava Icehart...but in reality she is my daughter." Squall answered, his thoughts clearly in another time.

Blade widened his eyes in surprise and looked to his father and saw a smile there. He knew all along who Dava was; he knew she was the daughter of Leonhart. Of course! Icehart...take out the Ice and replace it with Leon. Why didn't he see it? The hair the eyes the same spirit as Squall Leonhart and powers from her mother.

"Commander, she is a sorceress...our job is to destroy the sorceress. That has always been our drive in SeeD." Blade said in a monotone voice.

Squall whipped his head around at the young SeeD,

"She is my daughter and she, like my wife Rinoa will not be harmed in any way!"

"Squall is right. She must live and I feel it so." Seifer stated. His blonde locks fell over his eyes as he turned to look at Blade.

"Dra'kan, why do you wish to kill her when your heart tells you otherwise?" Seifer questioned looking straight at him with a seriousness in his voice. Blade just stood there looking down,

"I was trained to kill a sorceress and her aura is evil. I can not go back on my word to SeeD...even if you are Squall the famous hero or even if you were there when the great Ultimecia almost destroyed us." Blade walked off and Squall turned to his old rival,

"He touches her I will kill him." Seifer only nodded,

"I know you will, but I doubt he will be able too. He loves her too much."

Squall looked at the ground trying to get his thoughts straight and looked up to see Eve rushing straight at Hades.

Eve glared at Hades and rushed at him with her gunblade low at her side. She would slice him open starting from the bottom up and she couldn't contain her glee.

Hades stared at the girl rushing at him and raised his hand up stopping Eve in mid run.

"Do you think you can kill a Guardian?" he mocked,

"Look at you! You don't behave like a human and hatred has crawled into your blood. Why do you fight for these humans puzzles me still but I ask you: join me."

"..."

"Won't talk will you?" Hades implored and smiled as he threw her body into a pile of corpses.

Magama began to retreat and soon found herself immersed in the battling horde. She had a bad vibe and her fur was standing on end. Hades had brought this on himself and was on his own from now on.

Meanwhile:

:Clear your mind young cub.:

Eve sat up and did as she was told and suddenly she stood up. She had not come all this way just to squander her chance of revenge away and all because she could not be able to contain her eagerness. She was not a child any longer.

'I will not end my life this way nor will I turn sides. I still can't accept who I was a long time ago or should I say in the distant future, but I can begin to stop mistakes such as him.' she thought to herself.

"Have you come to a decision?" Hades mused. He flipped his black mane to the back and was ready to welcome her only to feel the air being drawn in. The entire area felt as it was being sucked in by an unseen gravitational force...a force only the girl could handle. Such dark energy was unheard of!

Eve opened her eyes and looked at Hades,

"You were once a guardian who had fallen and you shall fall lower...you will no longer haunt my mind and today I shall kill one of my inner demons and that shall be you." she stated calmly.

Seconds churned slowly and the Sorceress pointed her sword at the beast,

"Apocalypse!"

Hades took a moment to recognize the spell she had thrown at him and knew there was no way of escaping it. Only one woman knew how to conjure up such a powerful magic... The scenery faded and all turned to black and white...he knew what she was now. Too bad he wouldn't live to tell the tale.

Squall watched in awe as the spell was cast. All battle ceased...humans and creatures alike stood still watching as well as the generals in the sky. Time was frozen as black and red energy grew into a ball of frenzy. Suddenly a beam shot out at Hades engulfing him swiftly in a black torrent of murk...

Everyone heard the screams and howls of pain and then suddenly the spell dissipated. Nothing but charred dead earth was left for all to see.

Eve had collapsed to her knees and stared wide eyed before her once the spell ended. Her pupils dilated severally at what she had just realized. Where did that spell come from? She didn't draw it...nor did she draw it from any of her opponents.

"Oh my Hyne...what am I...what have I done?"

AN: Ok this chapter was short and I might redo it at a later date. The fight scene needs a bit more complexity to it. Ok today is what? June 13th? Ah yes...got to start on chapter 49 before you clobber me in some way.
