Author's Note: there are few things I want to talk about. The first thing
is about when Quistis, Zell, and Selphie were in sewer as they on their way
to the gateway. Someone asked me what about the monsters the fight on their
way. The thing is that there are no important fights during that time. If I
put the fight, how many do you think monster they will fight, about 3
monsters for every two steps. Since this is story, I only concentrate on
the main fights not including the boss's fight. Second, I have been
thinking about some one who will beta read the following chapter, since
many of you are not happy with how I right the plots, so If any of you want
to revise my chapter just email me and I will chose one of you. Now on with
the story, and I hope you will like it.

"Talking" 'Thinking' (Action) [Sound effects] Telepathic
Seed Ranma
Chapter 11
Later, much later...
Zell woke up in room, which looked like cell, along with Quistis, Selphie and Rinoa.
Zell: '...Where am I?'
Then Zell remembered what happened yesterday. After hitting the switch, which trapped the Sorceress, he and the girls went down to help Squall and the others against the Sorceress, but as they exit the gateway they encounter the Galbadian forces. They tried fighting, but they were too many of them. They couldn't do a thing except to surrender. Then he remembered when Ranma saved Squall from being killed by the Sorceress, but then remembering Ranma being stabbed and blasted away by some guy. His thought were interrupted when Quistis noticed him awake and asked a question.
Quistis: "Ahh, welcome back, Zell. The 'dream world' again?"
Zell (nodding): "Uh huh."
Selphie: "How's Laguna doin'?"
Zell: "Dunno... I didn't see him. It's not like I know everything about Ward, but... Well, you know Laguna and company went to that Centra place and got into a real fix, right? After that, Ward's been all alone. He's working in some sort of prison-like place. And he's bored outta his mind. All he wants is to be fightin' alongside Laguna."
Quistis: "So what is this we're experiencing?"
Zell: "How the hell should I know!?"
Rinoa: "Um, didn't you say that Ward was working in some sort of prison?"
Zell: "Yeah, so."
Rinoa: "And wasn't he from Galbadia?"
Zell: "Sure, he's a soldier there."
Rinoa: "Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you supposed to be Ward in that 'dream world'?"
Zell: "Just now I was."
Rinoa: "Does this room look familiar?"
Zell: 'Of all the stupid questi... (eyes widened)Hey? Whoa??? Wait a sec...' "I know this place! Everybody listen up! This is the prison that Ward works at! He's a janitor here! There are so many rooms just like this! It's got to be here!"
Rinoa: "There's a prison for political activists in Galbadia... This must be the place where Ward works. Right here, where we are! I'm sure of it!"
Quistis: "It's no surprise we're in jail. We did attack the sorceress..."
Rinoa: "We went up against the president. We'll all be sentenced to death..."
Quistis: "That president is no longer in charge. Now that Galbadia's in the hands of the sorceress... What's going to happen to us?"
Selphie: "Things don't look so good..."
Zell: 'What's gonna happen to us? And where the hell is that guy, Irvine? And where's Squall..? Where's Ranma for that matter I? Did Ranma...gulp...)
Then Zell heard someone sob, so did Rinoa and Selphie. They turned and saw Quistis hugging her knees to her chest and tears running through her cheeks. Both girls neared her to see what's wrong with her.
Rinoa: "Um...Quistis, what's wrong?"
The only answer they got was her crying. They were about to leave her alone when she talked.
Quistis: "Why?"
Rinoa (confused): "Why what?"
Quistis: "Why... why did he have to die?"
At this point, they knew whom she is talking about.
Rinoa: "C'mon, Quistis. You don't know that Ranma is dead."
Hearing the word 'dead', Quistis cried even harder. The others tried to think of a way to make her feel better.
Zell: "C'mon, instructor. Ranma can't die. Not even a T-Rexaur can kill him, so do really think the Ranma is dead?"
Quistis: ".........No."
Rinoa: "See, Believe in Ranma. Ranma is a survivor."
Quistis nodded.
Selphie: "Um, Instructor. How did you meet Ranma?"
The three noticed a gentle smile appear on her face.
Quistis (smiles gently): "It was a year after I joined the garden when I saw Ranma, squall was with him. The first time I saw him, he was cocky little bastard. (Laughs) I still can't believe the beat 8 men without any sweat. He beat them silly."
Zell (interrupting): "Wait a sec, how old was Ranma?"
Quistis: "I don't remember, I think he was 10."
Both Rinoa and Zell stared in shock. They couldn't believe how can a 10- year-old kid beat 8 men without any sweat, but then again this Ranma they are talking about. How could beating 8 men be more difficult than beating 3 T-Rexaur?
Quistis: "Since the first look at him, I thought he was just a big jerk but what really made me love him was his how pre his heart is. Sigh"
Rinoa, Zell, and Selphie just stared at her. Quistis looked at them and was confused on why they staring at her. Then they grin making her a bit worried.
Quistis: "why are you three looking at me like that?"
Selphie (grinning): "So you really love Ranma, hmm?"
Quistis eyes widened, she looked at the ground as she began to blush.
Quistis (blushing): "Did I said that aloud?"
The three nodded.
If anything, Quistis blushed even harder.
Meanwhile in different cell, Squall woke up. Opening his eyes, he saw that he was in a small room with steal bed and a steal door.
Squall: '...Where am I...I...challenged Edea...Ranma saved me...RANMA...where is he...The Galbadian soldiers...We were surrounded...He was there... Seifer, leering down at me... Ranma... I was about to help when I felt pain in head' "Damn you, Seifer!"
Squall stood up, but he found himself falling to the ground. He feels so weak that he barely stands.
Suddenly, Squall's cell began to move being carried up to somewhere. Later in Floor 7, before the Mean Guys 'bad guards' came into Zell's group's cell...
Selphie (hearing the a noise): "What, what!? What was that loud noise?"
Just then the Mean Guys came inside. (A/N.let's just say there are three of them)
Zell: 'I don't like him at all...'
Mean Guy (answering Selphie's): "It's the sound of your friend being tortured."
Zell: "What!? Whaddya mean!?"
Mean Guy (snapping at Zell): "Shut up!!! Don't screw around with me!!! You understand who's in charge here!? (grabbing Zell's face) I'm asking you a question! (hitting Zell with a nightstick)
The other Mean Guy pointed the gun at Zell. The two Mean Guys kicked the shit out of Zell.
Rinoa: "Stop!!!"
Mean Guy (stopping kicking Zell): "Oh, I almost forgot."
Zell is still on the ground, and the Mean Guy grabbed his hair.
Mean Guy: "Hey man is there a Rinoa with you?"
Rinoa (standing up): "I'm, Rinoa."
Mean Guy (looking at her): "Oh, all right. Then come over here."
Zell: "Whaddya doing to Rinoa, you bastard!?"
The Mean Guy kicked Zell to make him shut up.
Quistis: "Stop it already!!!"
Rinoa: "Stop. I'll go."
Quistis (looking at Rinoa): "Rinoa......"
Rinoa (smiling at her): "I'll be fine. (Looking at the Mean Guys) Let's go."
Meanwhile in Squall's cell, Seifer came in.
Seifer (looking at Squall who still on the ground): "Squall, you're pitiful."
Seifer picks up Squall from his shirt with one hand and throws him into the bed.
Seifer (to the Moomba): "Take him away!"
A Moomba, who looks like a small tiger with spiky hair, came inside and carried Squall with them.
Later in the torture room where Squall is hung to the wall. In front of him was Seifer with his gunblade at his hand
Seifer (looking at Squall): "I'm sure you can imagine what happens now."
Squall (glaring): "...What do you want?"
Seifer: "Tell me what SeeD is. Edea demands to know."
Squall (surprised and confused): "SeeD..." '...A code name for Balamb Garden's elite mercenary force... SeeD... Combat specialists.........???' "...Don't you already know?"
Seifer: "I'm not a SeeD. There must be some kind of secret you're given when you become a SeeD!"
Squall: "There's nothing. Even if there were, you think I'd tell you?"
Seifer (smiling): "You're on my 'tough-nut-to-crack' list. Didn't think you'd talk that easily."
Squall (snorting): "...Geez, I'm honored."
Seifer: "So here's a little somethin' for ya."
Seifer signals the Warden to activate the torture. Suddenly a jolt of electricity goes through Squall body.
Squall (screaming): "Arrrrghhhh..."
The Warden stops the torture. Squall breaths heavily.
Seifer: "Even if you don't talk, others will. The instructor, the little messenger girl, or that Chicken-wuss... He wouldn't last 3 seconds!" (Seifer laughs)
Squall: 'Th...They're...' "...They're...all here...?"
Seifer: "Oh, you bet. But since I like you so much, I thought you should go first. I was hoping you'd be there, Squall. Although I had hoped to find Ranma I bet that he will last the longest, but we didn't find him so I assumed that he been vaporised when that mysterious man blast him away, who ever he is (Making a pose) So...how'd I look in my moment of triumph? My childhood dream, fulfilled. I've become the sorceress' knight."
Squall: '...Sorceress' knight......His...romantic dream...?...But...Seifer... Now, you're just...' "...A torturer." (Passes out)
Seifer: "What did you say!? Passed out cold, eh? This is the scene where you swear undying hatred for me! The tale of the evil mercenary vs. the sorceress knight... The fun's just started, Squall. Don't disappoint me now!"
The Warden tortures Squall again.
Meanwhile in Zell's group's cell...
Selphie (cast): "Draw... Cure!"
Zell (feels pain): "Ow ow ow..."
Quistis: "It's no use. There seems to be an anti-magic field here."
Suddenly, a Moomba came in and tripped while bringing food. Hearing a noise, a Mean guy comes to see what made that noise .
Mean Guy: "What was that noise!?" (sees a Moomba) "You again!?"
The Mean Guy kicked the shit out of the Moomba. Seeing this, Zell becomes pissed of.
Zell: 'Damn him...that numbskull!' (stands up and glares at the Mean guy) "YO! Who do you think you are!?"
Selphie (stands up): "Yeah, you big MEANIE! Stop that!"
The Mean Guy attempts to strike Zell with a nightstick, but Zell grabs his hands and pushes him making him fall on the ground
Mean Guy (a bit afraid): "Y-You'll regret those words!"
The Mean Guy stands up and left running out of the room.
Selphie: "He's so mean..." (to the Moomba) "You ok? Doesn't work so well, but..." (casting a spell) "Cure!"
Meanwhile in the torture room....
Seifer: "Well now, Squall. I'll ask you again. What is SeeD? And why do they oppose the sorceress?"
Squall: 'SeeD... Oppose the sorceress...?'
But before Squall say something, a guard came.
Guard (salutes): "Sir Seifer, the missiles targeted for the Garden are ready to launch."
Seifer: "Excellent." (to Squall) "Balamb Garden is to be destroyed on charges of training SeeDs to oppose the sorceress."
Squall (shocked): '...WHAT!?'
Seifer: "It's a pity, really. I grew up there, too... But orders are orders, and Edea wants it destroyed."
Squall (struggles): "...N-No......"
Seifer: "After the Garden's gone, the SeeD hunt will begin. I'll be Edea's bloodhound and hunt down everyone of your kind. It'll be fun, Squall. Don't die on me, yet. (to the Warden) Continue with the interrogation."
Seifer left. The Warden walks and stood infront of Squall.
Warden: "Ready to talk?"
Squall: "...I...don't understand...the question..."
Warden (snaps): "Don't mess with me! Edea says you know something! Now spit it out! Talk! What is SeeD all about!?"
The Warden tortures Squall. As he was tortures, Squall began to think.
Squall: 'SeeD... Aren't we... mercenaries...from Balamb Garden... Special forces...?'
After few seconds passed, The Warden stops torturing Squall.
Warden: "Hm? Yeah, so!?"
Squall: 'I...I don't know any...anything... W-Why...do you...keep... asking...me.........' (whispers something) "......"
Warden: "What's that?"
Squall: "Your..."
Warden: "What did you say?"
Squall: "Your...breath st...stin...stinks!" ' heh...I am...sure...Ranma...is going...to....like what....i said'
Warden: "Punk... You asked for it!!!"
The Warden tortures Squall again.
Warden: "How's that!? How you like me now, huh!?"
The Warden kept on torturing Squall.
Squall (passing out): '...Good night...'
Warden: "Tch! Completely knocked out cold. Hey! You 2 Moombas! Watch him!"
Later in Zell's group's cell...
Zell: 'What now...?'
Selphie: "What do we do? Just stay here? We'll get tortured for sure!"
Quistis: "We can't just sit here. We have to think of a way to escape."
Zell: "Anyone got a plan?"
Selphie (looking at the Moomba): "Well, we could skin this little guy and wear him as a disguise..."
The Moomba got scared.
Selphie: "I'm kidding! I'm kidding!"
Zell: 'Doesn't sound like you are...'
Quistis: "Well, we can't rely on magic here, so we have to go with weapons. We have to somehow get them back..."
Zell: 'Weapons... My weapons are these fists o'mine!...I could do some serious damage without weapons!...It's up to me, baby!' "Let me go. I'll go get the weapons back!"
Selphie: "Oh yeah! You worked here as Ward, so you know the place!"
Zell (sweat drops): 'Not really... All Ward did was mop the floors...' "Just leave it to me! You two lie down there."
Quistis: "Zell..."
Selphie: "I hope this works..."
Zell: "Guard! Guard! We need some help! Open the door!"
The door opened and a Mean guy came inside.
Mean Guy: "What's the problem?"
Zell: "The women are unconscious! I think a snake bit'em!"
Mean Guy: "What...?"
As the Mean Guy goes in, Zell knocked the Mean Guy unconscious.
Zell: "Well, I'm off!" (to the Moomba whose following him) "Huh? You wanna go, too? Ahh, I guess... Just don't get in the way!"
So Zell and the Moomba sneak their way to Floor 8. In there, they saw the Galbadian Soldiers with the weapons of Zell's group.
Galbadian Soldier 1: "Look at this... SeeD weapons..."
Galbadian Soldier 2 (holding Squall's gunblade): "Is this what they call a gunblade?"
Galbadian Soldier 1: "Check these out, a whip, nunchaku..."
As Zell gets closer, the two Galbadian Soldiers noticed him.
Galbadian Soldier 2: "Y-You, an escapee?"
Zell: "Yo, I'm here to reclaim these!"
The two Galbadian Soldiers charged toward Zell to kill him, but Zell dodges their attacks. Seeing a chance to attack, Zell punches a Galbadian Soldier with his gut, taking his breath away, and then Zell punches him in his jaws knocking him out. The other seeing his partner down attacks Zell, but Zell dodges in time. Zell punches a couple times before noticing the guy is out cold.
Zell: "Piece of cake, baby!"
Zell picked up the weapons and returned to the cell where Quistis and Selphie is.
Meanwhile in the torture room...
Squall (feels something hitting him): '...Don't hit...my face....Stop grabbing my...leg.....Let me sleep...'
Moomba: "Laguna!?"
Squall: 'Shut up...'
Moomba: "Laguna!"
Squall: 'Laguna?'
Squall opens his eyes to a bunch of Moombas.
Moomba: "Laguna!!!"
Squall: '...Laguna!?' "What? I don't understand."
Moomba 1: "Laguna! Laguna!"
The other Moomba activated a switch to release Squall.
Moomba 2: "Laguna."
Moomba 1: "Laguna! Laguna!"
Squall: "Laguna?"
Later in Zell's group's cell...
Zell: "Yo, sorry to keep ya waitin'!"
Quistis: "Zell, the weapons?"
Zell (shows them their weapons): "Voila!"
Selphie: "Whoo-hoo! Alright!"
Zell: "Time to go kick some ass!"
Quistis: "YES!"
Selphie: "Right on!"
Moomba: "Rghhhhh!!!"
Man A (from outside): "Is this the cell with the uncooperative prisoners?"
Mean Guy (from outside): "Yes, this is it. Please give'em something to really complain about."
Man B (from outside): "Should we be picking on prisoners so soon after getting' transferred here?"
Man A: "Just be quiet, and let me handle this!"
The Mean guy came with two men inside the room.
Mean Guy: "T-These are the prisoners, Lieutenant Biggs, Private Wedge."
Man A and Man B are Biggs and Wedge.
Zell (shocked): 'Biggs? Wedge?'
Zell, Selphie, Biggs and Wedge (seeing each other): "AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Biggs: "S-So we meet again! Now we'll teach you the lesson we should have taught you earlier! I know it might seem cowardly to fight unarmed prisoners... ...But I hope you appreciate our position. Hey, it's a dog eat do..."
Wedge (notices the weapons they have): "Uh, they're fully armed, sir..."
Biggs: "W-What...!? H-Ho-How...? Ahh, hell with it! Let's go, Wedge!"
Biggs and Wedge Starts to attack the others.
Biggs: "I was demoted because of you! I'm only a lieutenant now! I'll get my revenge!"
Biggs was fighting Zell and Wedge was fighting the girls. It was look like Biggs was winning when he said something that was going to make his world full in pain.
Biggs: "Its so easy to against you. I don't Wedge is going to have any problem with these two stupid females."
Zell eyes widened, but decided to not reply.
Wedge: "um, sir."
Biggs (interrupting him): "Ah, Wedge. Did you beat those worthless, weak women."
Wedge: "sir"
Biggs: "There are nothing useless than those weakly, pathetic, worthless, useless, crying, stupid WOMEN"
Wedge: "SIR!"
Biggs (snapping at him): "WHAT?"
Wedge just points behind him. Biggs looks and what he saw made him wet his pants. There stood two very, very angry Quistis and Selphie. Their battle aura is showing, their eyes are glowing in rage, and both carrying a really big war hammer.
Biggs (sweating and crying): "......mommy"
What happened next is considered the most cruellest way to punish and torture to mankind......or at least to Biggs. While they are busy beating the life out of Biggs, Wedge was trying sneak out without them noticing him. He was almost to the door when he felt hand on his shoulder; he turned and saw Zell cracking his knuckles. Zell was about to punch him when Wedge waving his hands telling him to wait, Wedge to his sword and aimed the base to his head hitting him HARD, which made him lose conscious. Zell just looked at him, then turned around shaking his thinking that the guy must was smart enough to not go against the angry ladies.
After a while of constant beating, you can't recognise Biggs it like of be big, ugly bruise. The girls were breathing heavily, but their battle aura is still show. After few minutes, they calmed down and walked out of the cell to look for Squall.
Biggs (struggles): "D-Don't think you can just walk out... Ugh." ' perhaps I shouldn't said those things about women are weak' (activated alert mode)
Later, outside with Zell's group...
Zell: "Squall should be around here somewhere. You have any idea?"
Just before any of them reply, a Moomba came from the stairs.
Moomba 1 (just arrived): "Srrr...Srrr... Laguna!"
Moomba 2: "Laguna!?"
Both of Moomba started running to up the stairs.
Zell: "Laguna!? I don't know why but I feel kinda lucky! Let's just go after them, OK?"
Suddenly the alarm...
Zell: "What the...!?!"
Announcer: "Warning! Escapee alert! Monsters will be set lose on each floor. If escapee refuses to surrender, you have permission to kill. The anti-magic field will be lifted."
Zell: "Tch! The security alarm!"
As Zell's group proceeds to the 13th floor, the fought Monsters that tried to stop them but they killed them quickly. As the reached the 13th floor, they saw a bunch of Moombas gathering around a door.
Zell: "S'up, guys? Somethin' there?"
The entered and saw Squall on the ground.
Zell: "Squall!!! You OK!?"
Squall: "It was hell..."
Zell: "Let's just get the hell outta here! Catch!" (gives the gunblade to Squall)
As Zell went outside, Squall looks at the Moombas with curiosity.
Squall: 'You...know Laguna?'
Outside of the torture room...
Zell: "Didn't you come here as Laguna in the 'dream world'?"
Squall: "...... No."
Quistis: "So Squall doesn't know how to get out either."
Zell: "Well... Either way, we kept goin' up and up. I think we better head down."
Quistis: "It'd be a pain to go down every floor. The alarm alerted monsters and security guards everywhere."
Zell: "By the way, how the hell did they carry you up here, Squall?"
Squall points to the elevator crane.
Zell: "Whoa!!! What's this!? It's like a crane that can carry a detachable cell from downstairs."
Selphie: "Oh, so this big hole goes all the way to the bottom. So if we jump, ALL the way down, we're outta here."
Quistis: "Go ahead if you want to be squashed like pancake."
Zell: "Oh yeah!!! I remember now!!! We can move this arm by using the panel above and the control room. I remember Ward doing this. But we need to operate them both at the same time. Someone needs to stay upstairs and control the panel..."
Selphie and Quistis points to Zell.
Zell: "...Me? F-Fine... I'll give you instructions from upstairs. Everyone get inside."
Squall, Quistis and Selphie goes inside.
Quistis: "So, this is the arm control room."
Zell (on the Radio): "Yo, can you guys hear me?"
Selphie: "Hiya Zell, loud and clear!"
Squall: "So, what do we do?"
Zell (on the Radio: "Press the red button on the main panel."
Squall pressed the button.
Zell (on the Radio): "I'll take care of the rest... ............ There!"
The crane goes down. In the basement...
Selphie: "Heeey, so what are we going to do now?"
Squall: "Well, there's a door over there."
Quistis: "And?"
Squall: "...... Let's check it out."
Squall's group approaches the door and when the door opened, sand came out.
Squall: "Sand...?"
Quistis: "...... Buried...? You mean we're underground? In any case, we can't get out from here..."
Selphie then hears like cracking sound.
Selphie: "What was that?'
Quistis: "Gunfire?"
Squall: "Sounds pretty bad..."
All: "......"
Few minutes passed before they remembered.
Quistis & Selphie: "ZELL!!!"
Quistis: "Let's get back, quick!"
Meanwhile...
Guard: "There he is! Over there!!! Seize the escapee, dead or alive!!!"
Zell (running): "Tch! Too many! I'm outta here!"
Zell moves on but is struck by someone.
Zell: "Ugh..."
Warden: "You bastard... DIE!!!"
Suddenly before the Warden can kill Zell, Squall came up and killed the Warden with his gunblade with one slash.
Squall: "Didn't think he'd go down that easy."
Zell (latches on Squall's feet): "Squall!!! Thanks, man!!!"
Squall: "W-What!? Let go. I said, let go!"
Quistis: "Squall! Zell!"
Quistis and Selphie arrived.
Quistis: "I'm glad you're all right."
Selphie: "Squall, why did you do on your own? Is Zell that important to you?"
Suddenly, there was gunfires. The group ducks to avoid the fire.
Zell: "There's no way we can get outta here!"
Just then a shotgun can be heard firing, which made the gunfire stop.
It was Irvine. After few shots, he walking down the stairs in a cool act fashion. Right behind him was Rinoa, who is beginning to lose her patience.
Rinoa: "Come on...! Stop trying to act so cool! (threw down Irvine) Gee, if you had agreed with me earlier, we wouldn't be in this mess. (she saw Squall) Squall!!!" 'Squall's alive! I knew he would be. Squall's ok!' "Yeah!"
Quistis: "Rinoa, you're all right!"
Irvine: "Uh huh. Of course. Courtesy of my escort."
Zell :"What's that supposed to mean?"
Irvine: "Ah......"
Rinoa: "My father pulled some strings with the military. He told them to get me, and only me, out."
Irvine: "Then..."
Rinoa (interrupts him): "So this guy here... He came and got me. Just me! Knowing you were all captured!"
Irvine: "Ahh, that's..."
Rinoa (interrupts him): "Isn't that horrible?"
Irvine: "Alright, alright...! I said I was sorry. That's why I'm here to help!"
Rinoa (glaring at him): "After I scratched you to death."
Irvine ( stepping back in fright): "Uh... A-A-Anyhow, now's our chance."
Squall: "The basement door is buried in sand."
Irvine: "Of course it is. This place is buried underground."
Squall (raising an eyebrow): "Buried?"
Irvine: "That's right. This prison is..."
Guards (interrupts): "There they are! It's the escapees!"
Irvine (pulls out his shotgun and fires): "Squall! You choose two more party members and head on up. I'll hold'em here."
Squall: "Up?"
Irvine: "Don't have time to explain now! The exit's up there, trust me."
Squall: "...... Ok."
Rinoa: "I think I know the way!"
Squall along with Rinoa chose Zell to go with them. Squall's group moves on.
Irvine: "My turn to boogie now."
Irvine starts shooting.
Later....
Irvine(continues to shoot): "Oh, man, this is endless!"
Quistis: "Hey, what do we do?"
Irvine: "Hmm..."
Quistis: "I got an idea! Can't we go up again with the arm?" (pointing to the elevator)
Irvine: "Hey, good idea."
Quistis: "But they have to operate it from the control room upstairs."
Irvine: "Leave that up to me. Alright! Let's head to the floor where the arm's stopped."
After a long on the way, Irvine's group reached the 3rd floor where the elevator is.
Irvine: "Hey! Hop on!"
Meanwhile with Squall's group, they have reached the exit...
Zell: "OHHHH YEAHHH!!! We're out, baby!!!"
Just then, Squall hears a radio.
Irvine (on the Radio): "Hey Squall, can you hear me?"
Inside the control room...
Irvine: "Hey! Hey, you guys!"
Quistis: "Is this what you were talking about? What if Squall and the others have already gone ahead?"
Squall (on the Radio): "I can hear you."
Irvine: "See! I told you we'd be alright. Squall, go ahead and operate the arm."
Squall: "How?"
Zell: "Yo, leave that one to me."
Zell activated the switch.
Irvine: "Alrighty! We'll be there in like a second. Wait right there."
Quistis: "Sure takes awhile, doesn't it?"
Irvine: "So what? What's the rush?"
Meanwhile...
Rinoa: "Looks like they'll be just fine."
Squall's group goes outside. They watch what the D-District Prison is like a screw building and where it is. They are in the middle of the desert, at least 50 feet in the air.
Zell: "W-W-What the hell is this!? We still can't go anywhere."
Rinoa: "No way...! When I came in earlier, it wasn't like this..."
Squall: "Let's just head for that structure over there."
As the three walk on the bridge, suddenly the building starts to digging in the ground and the starts to collapse. They started running very fast to the other side.
After that, the all of them are gathered around two cars in what it seems a garage.
Rinoa: "That was way too dangerous, wasn't it...?"
Squall: "Yeah."
Irvine: "I thought the arms were movin' kinda slow... They have the submerge system on."
Squall: "Let's just get going."
Selphie: "I wanna ride the yellow one!"
Quistis: "I'll take that one, too."
Rinoa: "Okay, me too."
Irvine: "Hey, hey, hey! Ladies?"
Zell: "Let's go, Irvine."
As they opened the door of they greeted with a site, in front of them was a huge two-headed dog like monster with brace armor. On its back was Seig, but he had strange tattoos on his chest. Seeing the one who killed Ranma, Quistis took her whip and attack him only to her end of her whip caught by his hand. Seig then sends a shock attack through her whip, which electrocutes her before falling on her knees.
Squall: "You? What do you want? Leave her alone"
Seig ( grins): "I don't think so. My thirst for blood is still there. That bastard almost killed me, but thanks to him I found my true power."
Quistis ( still on the her knees): "YOU BASTARD. I AM GOING TO KILL YOU"
Seig: "I don't think so, my dear. It is you who is going to die. Mandou, Kill her"
Mandou, who is the two-headed dog monster, walked to where Quistis is. Reaching her, Mandou raised its right hand to kill her with one blow. Just as it about to reach her she disappeared.
Quistis thought that she is going to die, when she felt she was lifted. After a while she opened her to see the deepest blue eyes she ever she. Tears began to appear in her eyes as she hugged him, as he hugged her back.
The others including Seig were wondering who is it. The person wears a brown cloak that cover his whole body and a hood that covers his had.
Seig (angry): "WHO DARES? WHO ARE YOU?"
The person throws his cloak as he turns around after putting Quistis on the ground. As the Seig takes a look at his, he face turns from rage into shock and disbelief.
Seig (disbelief): "....no. It can't be. Your suppose to be dead."
The others had a different reaction.
Squall, Irvine, Rinoa, Zell and Selphie: "RANMA!"
Ranma turned and smiled to them before returning his gaze to Seig with knowing smirk.
Seig: "How? How did you survive?"
Ranma: "Nothing like a scum bag like you want to know, and this time I am going to beat the crap out of you"

Chapter 11
Later, much later...
Zell woke up in room, which looked like cell, along with Quistis, Selphie and Rinoa.
Zell: '...Where am I?'
Then Zell remembered what happened yesterday. After hitting the switch, which trapped the Sorceress, he and the girls went down to help Squall and the others against the Sorceress, but as they exit the gateway they encounter the Galbadian forces. They tried fighting, but they were too many of them. They couldn't do a thing except to surrender. Then he remembered when Ranma saved Squall from being killed by the Sorceress, but then remembering Ranma being stabbed and blasted away by some guy. His thought were interrupted when Quistis noticed him awake and asked a question.
Quistis: "Ahh, welcome back, Zell. The 'dream world' again?"
Zell (nodding): "Uh huh."
Selphie: "How's Laguna doin'?"
Zell: "Dunno... I didn't see him. It's not like I know everything about Ward, but... Well, you know Laguna and company went to that Centra place and got into a real fix, right? After that, Ward's been all alone. He's working in some sort of prison-like place. And he's bored outta his mind. All he wants is to be fightin' alongside Laguna."
Quistis: "So what is this we're experiencing?"
Zell: "How the hell should I know!?"
Rinoa: "Um, didn't you say that Ward was working in some sort of prison?"
Zell: "Yeah, so."
Rinoa: "And wasn't he from Galbadia?"
Zell: "Sure, he's a soldier there."
Rinoa: "Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't you supposed to be Ward in that 'dream world'?"
Zell: "Just now I was."
Rinoa: "Does this room look familiar?"
Zell: 'Of all the stupid questi... (eyes widened)Hey? Whoa??? Wait a sec...' "I know this place! Everybody listen up! This is the prison that Ward works at! He's a janitor here! There are so many rooms just like this! It's got to be here!"
Rinoa: "There's a prison for political activists in Galbadia... This must be the place where Ward works. Right here, where we are! I'm sure of it!"
Quistis: "It's no surprise we're in jail. We did attack the sorceress..."
Rinoa: "We went up against the president. We'll all be sentenced to death..."
Quistis: "That president is no longer in charge. Now that Galbadia's in the hands of the sorceress... What's going to happen to us?"
Selphie: "Things don't look so good..."
Zell: 'What's gonna happen to us? And where the hell is that guy, Irvine? And where's Squall..? Where's Ranma for that matter I? Did Ranma...gulp...)
Then Zell heard someone sob, so did Rinoa and Selphie. They turned and saw Quistis hugging her knees to her chest and tears running through her cheeks. Both girls neared her to see what's wrong with her.
Rinoa: "Um...Quistis, what's wrong?"
The only answer they got was her crying. They were about to leave her alone when she talked.
Quistis: "Why?"
Rinoa (confused): "Why what?"
Quistis: "Why... why did he have to die?"
At this point, they knew whom she is talking about.
Rinoa: "C'mon, Quistis. You don't know that Ranma is dead."
Hearing the word 'dead', Quistis cried even harder. The others tried to think of a way to make her feel better.
Zell: "C'mon, instructor. Ranma can't die. Not even a T-Rexaur can kill him, so do really think the Ranma is dead?"
Quistis: ".........No."
Rinoa: "See, Believe in Ranma. Ranma is a survivor."
Quistis nodded.
Selphie: "Um, Instructor. How did you meet Ranma?"
The three noticed a gentle smile appear on her face.
Quistis (smiles gently): "It was a year after I joined the garden when I saw Ranma, squall was with him. The first time I saw him, he was cocky little bastard. (Laughs) I still can't believe the beat 8 men without any sweat. He beat them silly."
Zell (interrupting): "Wait a sec, how old was Ranma?"
Quistis: "I don't remember, I think he was 10."
Both Rinoa and Zell stared in shock. They couldn't believe how can a 10- year-old kid beat 8 men without any sweat, but then again this Ranma they are talking about. How could beating 8 men be more difficult than beating 3 T-Rexaur?
Quistis: "Since the first look at him, I thought he was just a big jerk but what really made me love him was his how pre his heart is. Sigh"
Rinoa, Zell, and Selphie just stared at her. Quistis looked at them and was confused on why they staring at her. Then they grin making her a bit worried.
Quistis: "why are you three looking at me like that?"
Selphie (grinning): "So you really love Ranma, hmm?"
Quistis eyes widened, she looked at the ground as she began to blush.
Quistis (blushing): "Did I said that aloud?"
The three nodded.
If anything, Quistis blushed even harder.
Meanwhile in different cell, Squall woke up. Opening his eyes, he saw that he was in a small room with steal bed and a steal door.
Squall: '...Where am I...I...challenged Edea...Ranma saved me...RANMA...where is he...The Galbadian soldiers...We were surrounded...He was there... Seifer, leering down at me... Ranma... I was about to help when I felt pain in head' "Damn you, Seifer!"
Squall stood up, but he found himself falling to the ground. He feels so weak that he barely stands.
Suddenly, Squall's cell began to move being carried up to somewhere. Later in Floor 7, before the Mean Guys 'bad guards' came into Zell's group's cell...
Selphie (hearing the a noise): "What, what!? What was that loud noise?"
Just then the Mean Guys came inside. (A/N.let's just say there are three of them)
Zell: 'I don't like him at all...'
Mean Guy (answering Selphie's): "It's the sound of your friend being tortured."
Zell: "What!? Whaddya mean!?"
Mean Guy (snapping at Zell): "Shut up!!! Don't screw around with me!!! You understand who's in charge here!? (grabbing Zell's face) I'm asking you a question! (hitting Zell with a nightstick)
The other Mean Guy pointed the gun at Zell. The two Mean Guys kicked the shit out of Zell.
Rinoa: "Stop!!!"
Mean Guy (stopping kicking Zell): "Oh, I almost forgot."
Zell is still on the ground, and the Mean Guy grabbed his hair.
Mean Guy: "Hey man is there a Rinoa with you?"
Rinoa (standing up): "I'm, Rinoa."
Mean Guy (looking at her): "Oh, all right. Then come over here."
Zell: "Whaddya doing to Rinoa, you bastard!?"
The Mean Guy kicked Zell to make him shut up.
Quistis: "Stop it already!!!"
Rinoa: "Stop. I'll go."
Quistis (looking at Rinoa): "Rinoa......"
Rinoa (smiling at her): "I'll be fine. (Looking at the Mean Guys) Let's go."
Meanwhile in Squall's cell, Seifer came in.
Seifer (looking at Squall who still on the ground): "Squall, you're pitiful."
Seifer picks up Squall from his shirt with one hand and throws him into the bed.
Seifer (to the Moomba): "Take him away!"
A Moomba, who looks like a small tiger with spiky hair, came inside and carried Squall with them.
Later in the torture room where Squall is hung to the wall. In front of him was Seifer with his gunblade at his hand
Seifer (looking at Squall): "I'm sure you can imagine what happens now."
Squall (glaring): "...What do you want?"
Seifer: "Tell me what SeeD is. Edea demands to know."
Squall (surprised and confused): "SeeD..." '...A code name for Balamb Garden's elite mercenary force... SeeD... Combat specialists.........???' "...Don't you already know?"
Seifer: "I'm not a SeeD. There must be some kind of secret you're given when you become a SeeD!"
Squall: "There's nothing. Even if there were, you think I'd tell you?"
Seifer (smiling): "You're on my 'tough-nut-to-crack' list. Didn't think you'd talk that easily."
Squall (snorting): "...Geez, I'm honored."
Seifer: "So here's a little somethin' for ya."
Seifer signals the Warden to activate the torture. Suddenly a jolt of electricity goes through Squall body.
Squall (screaming): "Arrrrghhhh..."
The Warden stops the torture. Squall breaths heavily.
Seifer: "Even if you don't talk, others will. The instructor, the little messenger girl, or that Chicken-wuss... He wouldn't last 3 seconds!" (Seifer laughs)
Squall: 'Th...They're...' "...They're...all here...?"
Seifer: "Oh, you bet. But since I like you so much, I thought you should go first. I was hoping you'd be there, Squall. Although I had hoped to find Ranma I bet that he will last the longest, but we didn't find him so I assumed that he been vaporised when that mysterious man blast him away, who ever he is (Making a pose) So...how'd I look in my moment of triumph? My childhood dream, fulfilled. I've become the sorceress' knight."
Squall: '...Sorceress' knight......His...romantic dream...?...But...Seifer... Now, you're just...' "...A torturer." (Passes out)
Seifer: "What did you say!? Passed out cold, eh? This is the scene where you swear undying hatred for me! The tale of the evil mercenary vs. the sorceress knight... The fun's just started, Squall. Don't disappoint me now!"
The Warden tortures Squall again.
Meanwhile in Zell's group's cell...
Selphie (cast): "Draw... Cure!"
Zell (feels pain): "Ow ow ow..."
Quistis: "It's no use. There seems to be an anti-magic field here."
Suddenly, a Moomba came in and tripped while bringing food. Hearing a noise, a Mean guy comes to see what made that noise .
Mean Guy: "What was that noise!?" (sees a Moomba) "You again!?"
The Mean Guy kicked the shit out of the Moomba. Seeing this, Zell becomes pissed of.
Zell: 'Damn him...that numbskull!' (stands up and glares at the Mean guy) "YO! Who do you think you are!?"
Selphie (stands up): "Yeah, you big MEANIE! Stop that!"
The Mean Guy attempts to strike Zell with a nightstick, but Zell grabs his hands and pushes him making him fall on the ground
Mean Guy (a bit afraid): "Y-You'll regret those words!"
The Mean Guy stands up and left running out of the room.
Selphie: "He's so mean..." (to the Moomba) "You ok? Doesn't work so well, but..." (casting a spell) "Cure!"
Meanwhile in the torture room....
Seifer: "Well now, Squall. I'll ask you again. What is SeeD? And why do they oppose the sorceress?"
Squall: 'SeeD... Oppose the sorceress...?'
But before Squall say something, a guard came.
Guard (salutes): "Sir Seifer, the missiles targeted for the Garden are ready to launch."
Seifer: "Excellent." (to Squall) "Balamb Garden is to be destroyed on charges of training SeeDs to oppose the sorceress."
Squall (shocked): '...WHAT!?'
Seifer: "It's a pity, really. I grew up there, too... But orders are orders, and Edea wants it destroyed."
Squall (struggles): "...N-No......"
Seifer: "After the Garden's gone, the SeeD hunt will begin. I'll be Edea's bloodhound and hunt down everyone of your kind. It'll be fun, Squall. Don't die on me, yet. (to the Warden) Continue with the interrogation."
Seifer left. The Warden walks and stood infront of Squall.
Warden: "Ready to talk?"
Squall: "...I...don't understand...the question..."
Warden (snaps): "Don't mess with me! Edea says you know something! Now spit it out! Talk! What is SeeD all about!?"
The Warden tortures Squall. As he was tortures, Squall began to think.
Squall: 'SeeD... Aren't we... mercenaries...from Balamb Garden... Special forces...?'
After few seconds passed, The Warden stops torturing Squall.
Warden: "Hm? Yeah, so!?"
Squall: 'I...I don't know any...anything... W-Why...do you...keep... asking...me.........' (whispers something) "......"
Warden: "What's that?"
Squall: "Your..."
Warden: "What did you say?"
Squall: "Your...breath st...stin...stinks!" ' heh...I am...sure...Ranma...is going...to....like what....i said'
Warden: "Punk... You asked for it!!!"
The Warden tortures Squall again.
Warden: "How's that!? How you like me now, huh!?"
The Warden kept on torturing Squall.
Squall (passing out): '...Good night...'
Warden: "Tch! Completely knocked out cold. Hey! You 2 Moombas! Watch him!"
Later in Zell's group's cell...
Zell: 'What now...?'
Selphie: "What do we do? Just stay here? We'll get tortured for sure!"
Quistis: "We can't just sit here. We have to think of a way to escape."
Zell: "Anyone got a plan?"
Selphie (looking at the Moomba): "Well, we could skin this little guy and wear him as a disguise..."
The Moomba got scared.
Selphie: "I'm kidding! I'm kidding!"
Zell: 'Doesn't sound like you are...'
Quistis: "Well, we can't rely on magic here, so we have to go with weapons. We have to somehow get them back..."
Zell: 'Weapons... My weapons are these fists o'mine!...I could do some serious damage without weapons!...It's up to me, baby!' "Let me go. I'll go get the weapons back!"
Selphie: "Oh yeah! You worked here as Ward, so you know the place!"
Zell (sweat drops): 'Not really... All Ward did was mop the floors...' "Just leave it to me! You two lie down there."
Quistis: "Zell..."
Selphie: "I hope this works..."
Zell: "Guard! Guard! We need some help! Open the door!"
The door opened and a Mean guy came inside.
Mean Guy: "What's the problem?"
Zell: "The women are unconscious! I think a snake bit'em!"
Mean Guy: "What...?"
As the Mean Guy goes in, Zell knocked the Mean Guy unconscious.
Zell: "Well, I'm off!" (to the Moomba whose following him) "Huh? You wanna go, too? Ahh, I guess... Just don't get in the way!"
So Zell and the Moomba sneak their way to Floor 8. In there, they saw the Galbadian Soldiers with the weapons of Zell's group.
Galbadian Soldier 1: "Look at this... SeeD weapons..."
Galbadian Soldier 2 (holding Squall's gunblade): "Is this what they call a gunblade?"
Galbadian Soldier 1: "Check these out, a whip, nunchaku..."
As Zell gets closer, the two Galbadian Soldiers noticed him.
Galbadian Soldier 2: "Y-You, an escapee?"
Zell: "Yo, I'm here to reclaim these!"
The two Galbadian Soldiers charged toward Zell to kill him, but Zell dodges their attacks. Seeing a chance to attack, Zell punches a Galbadian Soldier with his gut, taking his breath away, and then Zell punches him in his jaws knocking him out. The other seeing his partner down attacks Zell, but Zell dodges in time. Zell punches a couple times before noticing the guy is out cold.
Zell: "Piece of cake, baby!"
Zell picked up the weapons and returned to the cell where Quistis and Selphie is.
Meanwhile in the torture room...
Squall (feels something hitting him): '...Don't hit...my face....Stop grabbing my...leg.....Let me sleep...'
Moomba: "Laguna!?"
Squall: 'Shut up...'
Moomba: "Laguna!"
Squall: 'Laguna?'
Squall opens his eyes to a bunch of Moombas.
Moomba: "Laguna!!!"
Squall: '...Laguna!?' "What? I don't understand."
Moomba 1: "Laguna! Laguna!"
The other Moomba activated a switch to release Squall.
Moomba 2: "Laguna."
Moomba 1: "Laguna! Laguna!"
Squall: "Laguna?"
Later in Zell's group's cell...
Zell: "Yo, sorry to keep ya waitin'!"
Quistis: "Zell, the weapons?"
Zell (shows them their weapons): "Voila!"
Selphie: "Whoo-hoo! Alright!"
Zell: "Time to go kick some ass!"
Quistis: "YES!"
Selphie: "Right on!"
Moomba: "Rghhhhh!!!"
Man A (from outside): "Is this the cell with the uncooperative prisoners?"
Mean Guy (from outside): "Yes, this is it. Please give'em something to really complain about."
Man B (from outside): "Should we be picking on prisoners so soon after getting' transferred here?"
Man A: "Just be quiet, and let me handle this!"
The Mean guy came with two men inside the room.
Mean Guy: "T-These are the prisoners, Lieutenant Biggs, Private Wedge."
Man A and Man B are Biggs and Wedge.
Zell (shocked): 'Biggs? Wedge?'
Zell, Selphie, Biggs and Wedge (seeing each other): "AAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Biggs: "S-So we meet again! Now we'll teach you the lesson we should have taught you earlier! I know it might seem cowardly to fight unarmed prisoners... ...But I hope you appreciate our position. Hey, it's a dog eat do..."
Wedge (notices the weapons they have): "Uh, they're fully armed, sir..."
Biggs: "W-What...!? H-Ho-How...? Ahh, hell with it! Let's go, Wedge!"
Biggs and Wedge Starts to attack the others.
Biggs: "I was demoted because of you! I'm only a lieutenant now! I'll get my revenge!"
Biggs was fighting Zell and Wedge was fighting the girls. It was look like Biggs was winning when he said something that was going to make his world full in pain.
Biggs: "Its so easy to against you. I don't Wedge is going to have any problem with these two stupid females."
Zell eyes widened, but decided to not reply.
Wedge: "um, sir."
Biggs (interrupting him): "Ah, Wedge. Did you beat those worthless, weak women."
Wedge: "sir"
Biggs: "There are nothing useless than those weakly, pathetic, worthless, useless, crying, stupid WOMEN"
Wedge: "SIR!"
Biggs (snapping at him): "WHAT?"
Wedge just points behind him. Biggs looks and what he saw made him wet his pants. There stood two very, very angry Quistis and Selphie. Their battle aura is showing, their eyes are glowing in rage, and both carrying a really big war hammer.
Biggs (sweating and crying): "......mommy"
What happened next is considered the most cruellest way to punish and torture to mankind......or at least to Biggs. While they are busy beating the life out of Biggs, Wedge was trying sneak out without them noticing him. He was almost to the door when he felt hand on his shoulder; he turned and saw Zell cracking his knuckles. Zell was about to punch him when Wedge waving his hands telling him to wait, Wedge to his sword and aimed the base to his head hitting him HARD, which made him lose conscious. Zell just looked at him, then turned around shaking his thinking that the guy must was smart enough to not go against the angry ladies.
After a while of constant beating, you can't recognise Biggs it like of be big, ugly bruise. The girls were breathing heavily, but their battle aura is still show. After few minutes, they calmed down and walked out of the cell to look for Squall.
Biggs (struggles): "D-Don't think you can just walk out... Ugh." ' perhaps I shouldn't said those things about women are weak' (activated alert mode)
Later, outside with Zell's group...
Zell: "Squall should be around here somewhere. You have any idea?"
Just before any of them reply, a Moomba came from the stairs.
Moomba 1 (just arrived): "Srrr...Srrr... Laguna!"
Moomba 2: "Laguna!?"
Both of Moomba started running to up the stairs.
Zell: "Laguna!? I don't know why but I feel kinda lucky! Let's just go after them, OK?"
Suddenly the alarm...
Zell: "What the...!?!"
Announcer: "Warning! Escapee alert! Monsters will be set lose on each floor. If escapee refuses to surrender, you have permission to kill. The anti-magic field will be lifted."
Zell: "Tch! The security alarm!"
As Zell's group proceeds to the 13th floor, the fought Monsters that tried to stop them but they killed them quickly. As the reached the 13th floor, they saw a bunch of Moombas gathering around a door.
Zell: "S'up, guys? Somethin' there?"
The entered and saw Squall on the ground.
Zell: "Squall!!! You OK!?"
Squall: "It was hell..."
Zell: "Let's just get the hell outta here! Catch!" (gives the gunblade to Squall)
As Zell went outside, Squall looks at the Moombas with curiosity.
Squall: 'You...know Laguna?'
Outside of the torture room...
Zell: "Didn't you come here as Laguna in the 'dream world'?"
Squall: "...... No."
Quistis: "So Squall doesn't know how to get out either."
Zell: "Well... Either way, we kept goin' up and up. I think we better head down."
Quistis: "It'd be a pain to go down every floor. The alarm alerted monsters and security guards everywhere."
Zell: "By the way, how the hell did they carry you up here, Squall?"
Squall points to the elevator crane.
Zell: "Whoa!!! What's this!? It's like a crane that can carry a detachable cell from downstairs."
Selphie: "Oh, so this big hole goes all the way to the bottom. So if we jump, ALL the way down, we're outta here."
Quistis: "Go ahead if you want to be squashed like pancake."
Zell: "Oh yeah!!! I remember now!!! We can move this arm by using the panel above and the control room. I remember Ward doing this. But we need to operate them both at the same time. Someone needs to stay upstairs and control the panel..."
Selphie and Quistis points to Zell.
Zell: "...Me? F-Fine... I'll give you instructions from upstairs. Everyone get inside."
Squall, Quistis and Selphie goes inside.
Quistis: "So, this is the arm control room."
Zell (on the Radio): "Yo, can you guys hear me?"
Selphie: "Hiya Zell, loud and clear!"
Squall: "So, what do we do?"
Zell (on the Radio: "Press the red button on the main panel."
Squall pressed the button.
Zell (on the Radio): "I'll take care of the rest... ............ There!"
The crane goes down. In the basement...
Selphie: "Heeey, so what are we going to do now?"
Squall: "Well, there's a door over there."
Quistis: "And?"
Squall: "...... Let's check it out."
Squall's group approaches the door and when the door opened, sand came out.
Squall: "Sand...?"
Quistis: "...... Buried...? You mean we're underground? In any case, we can't get out from here..."
Selphie then hears like cracking sound.
Selphie: "What was that?'
Quistis: "Gunfire?"
Squall: "Sounds pretty bad..."
All: "......"
Few minutes passed before they remembered.
Quistis & Selphie: "ZELL!!!"
Quistis: "Let's get back, quick!"
Meanwhile...
Guard: "There he is! Over there!!! Seize the escapee, dead or alive!!!"
Zell (running): "Tch! Too many! I'm outta here!"
Zell moves on but is struck by someone.
Zell: "Ugh..."
Warden: "You bastard... DIE!!!"
Suddenly before the Warden can kill Zell, Squall came up and killed the Warden with his gunblade with one slash.
Squall: "Didn't think he'd go down that easy."
Zell (latches on Squall's feet): "Squall!!! Thanks, man!!!"
Squall: "W-What!? Let go. I said, let go!"
Quistis: "Squall! Zell!"
Quistis and Selphie arrived.
Quistis: "I'm glad you're all right."
Selphie: "Squall, why did you do on your own? Is Zell that important to you?"
Suddenly, there was gunfires. The group ducks to avoid the fire.
Zell: "There's no way we can get outta here!"
Just then a shotgun can be heard firing, which made the gunfire stop.
It was Irvine. After few shots, he walking down the stairs in a cool act fashion. Right behind him was Rinoa, who is beginning to lose her patience.
Rinoa: "Come on...! Stop trying to act so cool! (threw down Irvine) Gee, if you had agreed with me earlier, we wouldn't be in this mess. (she saw Squall) Squall!!!" 'Squall's alive! I knew he would be. Squall's ok!' "Yeah!"
Quistis: "Rinoa, you're all right!"
Irvine: "Uh huh. Of course. Courtesy of my escort."
Zell :"What's that supposed to mean?"
Irvine: "Ah......"
Rinoa: "My father pulled some strings with the military. He told them to get me, and only me, out."
Irvine: "Then..."
Rinoa (interrupts him): "So this guy here... He came and got me. Just me! Knowing you were all captured!"
Irvine: "Ahh, that's..."
Rinoa (interrupts him): "Isn't that horrible?"
Irvine: "Alright, alright...! I said I was sorry. That's why I'm here to help!"
Rinoa (glaring at him): "After I scratched you to death."
Irvine ( stepping back in fright): "Uh... A-A-Anyhow, now's our chance."
Squall: "The basement door is buried in sand."
Irvine: "Of course it is. This place is buried underground."
Squall (raising an eyebrow): "Buried?"
Irvine: "That's right. This prison is..."
Guards (interrupts): "There they are! It's the escapees!"
Irvine (pulls out his shotgun and fires): "Squall! You choose two more party members and head on up. I'll hold'em here."
Squall: "Up?"
Irvine: "Don't have time to explain now! The exit's up there, trust me."
Squall: "...... Ok."
Rinoa: "I think I know the way!"
Squall along with Rinoa chose Zell to go with them. Squall's group moves on.
Irvine: "My turn to boogie now."
Irvine starts shooting.
Later....
Irvine(continues to shoot): "Oh, man, this is endless!"
Quistis: "Hey, what do we do?"
Irvine: "Hmm..."
Quistis: "I got an idea! Can't we go up again with the arm?" (pointing to the elevator)
Irvine: "Hey, good idea."
Quistis: "But they have to operate it from the control room upstairs."
Irvine: "Leave that up to me. Alright! Let's head to the floor where the arm's stopped."
After a long on the way, Irvine's group reached the 3rd floor where the elevator is.
Irvine: "Hey! Hop on!"
Meanwhile with Squall's group, they have reached the exit...
Zell: "OHHHH YEAHHH!!! We're out, baby!!!"
Just then, Squall hears a radio.
Irvine (on the Radio): "Hey Squall, can you hear me?"
Inside the control room...
Irvine: "Hey! Hey, you guys!"
Quistis: "Is this what you were talking about? What if Squall and the others have already gone ahead?"
Squall (on the Radio): "I can hear you."
Irvine: "See! I told you we'd be alright. Squall, go ahead and operate the arm."
Squall: "How?"
Zell: "Yo, leave that one to me."
Zell activated the switch.
Irvine: "Alrighty! We'll be there in like a second. Wait right there."
Quistis: "Sure takes awhile, doesn't it?"
Irvine: "So what? What's the rush?"
Meanwhile...
Rinoa: "Looks like they'll be just fine."
Squall's group goes outside. They watch what the D-District Prison is like a screw building and where it is. They are in the middle of the desert, at least 50 feet in the air.
Zell: "W-W-What the hell is this!? We still can't go anywhere."
Rinoa: "No way...! When I came in earlier, it wasn't like this..."
Squall: "Let's just head for that structure over there."
As the three walk on the bridge, suddenly the building starts to digging in the ground and the starts to collapse. They started running very fast to the other side.
After that, the all of them are gathered around two cars in what it seems a garage.
Rinoa: "That was way too dangerous, wasn't it...?"
Squall: "Yeah."
Irvine: "I thought the arms were movin' kinda slow... They have the submerge system on."
Squall: "Let's just get going."
Selphie: "I wanna ride the yellow one!"
Quistis: "I'll take that one, too."
Rinoa: "Okay, me too."
Irvine: "Hey, hey, hey! Ladies?"
Zell: "Let's go, Irvine."
As they opened the door of they greeted with a site, in front of them was a huge two-headed dog like monster with brace armor. On its back was Seig, but he had strange tattoos on his chest. Seeing the one who killed Ranma, Quistis took her whip and attack him only to her end of her whip caught by his hand. Seig then sends a shock attack through her whip, which electrocutes her before falling on her knees.
Squall: "You? What do you want? Leave her alone"
Seig ( grins): "I don't think so. My thirst for blood is still there. That bastard almost killed me, but thanks to him I found my true power."
Quistis ( still on the her knees): "YOU BASTARD. I AM GOING TO KILL YOU"
Seig: "I don't think so, my dear. It is you who is going to die. Mandou, Kill her"
Mandou, who is the two-headed dog monster, walked to where Quistis is. Reaching her, Mandou raised its right hand to kill her with one blow. Just as it about to reach her she disappeared.
Quistis thought that she is going to die, when she felt she was lifted. After a while she opened her to see the deepest blue eyes she ever she. Tears began to appear in her eyes as she hugged him, as he hugged her back.
The others including Seig were wondering who is it. The person wears a brown cloak that cover his whole body and a hood that covers his had.
Seig (angry): "WHO DARES? WHO ARE YOU?"
The person throws his cloak as he turns around after putting Quistis on the ground. As the Seig takes a look at his, he face turns from rage into shock and disbelief.
Seig (disbelief): "....no. It can't be. Your suppose to be dead."
The others had a different reaction.
Squall, Irvine, Rinoa, Zell and Selphie: "RANMA!"
Ranma turned and smiled to them before returning his gaze to Seig with knowing smirk.
Seig: "How? How did you survive?"
Ranma: "Nothing like a scum bag like you want to know, and this time I am going to beat the crap out of you"
