Chapter 5- Deling City, Battle part 2 and the weird poem

Rip!!!!

"Quistis!!" Seifer yelled as he banged on the shield that separated him from Quistis.

"Shoot." Quistis mumbled to herself as she sank to the floor, she needed to find Queenie's weakness, and fast.

"I see you haven't died yet," Queenie observed as she took back her sword from Quistis's right shoulder, which caused her to cry out in pain "Well, at least you can't use your whip anymore" Queenie smirked

'She's right, both my shoulders have been damaged deeply' Quistis thought, as she looked at all the blood that surrounded her, ' I need to end this battle quick, but. how?'

"Quistis, Quistis, Quistis, haven't you learned that your never going to be able to defeat me? Your too weak, so give it up and die already woman, it'll save me a lot of time" Queenie said as she started rhyming,

"In the beautiful town that lies in the .um. what direction does
Winhill lie in? Oh well, Is where the girl lies in the home of .um.
home of .hmm.home of the Loire's? That doesn't make sense at all! Oh
well! Just whatever, Aero awaits her and Holy awaits him, Wha? It doesn't make sense Both shall not die till the time is.right? No, that doesn't make sense at all! Oh! I hate poems! They get me so confused!" Queenie whined as she jumped up and down

'She gave me a poem, just like Hunter gave Irvine one. does that mean Selphie was never here?!' Quistis thought, 'Wait a second. the poem she just gave me here talks about magic, aero and holy. does that mean.'

"I get it!" Quistis shouted, surprising Queenie, "Slow!" Quistis casted, as Queenie tried to cast reflect on herself, but too late.

"Shoot!" Quistis heard Queenie shout as she sank on the floor, "I'll be back Quistis and next time, you won't be so lucky!"

Suddenly the barrier shattered in pieces and Queenie disappeared.

"Yes!" Quistis shouted as she fainted, lying in the soaking wet bloody ground.

"Quistis! Hey Instructor! Wait up!" Quistis heard Seifer yell as she felt him pick her up

'I'm not going to die until I find Queenie and kill her for what she has done to me' Quistis thought as everything around her turned black

****

"Quistis, don't die, wake up!" Seifer shouted as he ran inside the mansion and placed Quistis on top of a couch (as I told you before Caraway has died so no one is inside the house, it's deserted)

"Don't worry Quistis, I'll be right back, I'll go get a doctor, so you better stay alive till then!" Seifer warned as he ran out of the house, into the dark night sky 'Please let Quistis be alright' Seifer thought as he ran and ran as fast as he could.

~*~*~*~

"Hey doctor, will Irvine be alright?" Rinoa asked as Dr. Terry came out of the room

"Yes, he's still unconscious, but you may go see your friend now" Dr. Terry said as he glared at Zell, "Also, you, young man, please be more quiet, this is a hospital you now"

"Hospital? You call this a hospital? It's just a ruined down house with one room!" Zell stated, getting an icy glare from both the doctor and Squall, who was mouthing 'Shut-up', "Hey, I'm only stating the truth!"

"You, young man" Dr. Terry said evilly as he walked up to Zell, "Get out of my hospital! NOW!!!"

"But, this isn't a hospital." Zell stated as he slouched down onto the ground, the doctor did look pretty scary with his white hair and round glasses. just like an evil scientist!

"GET OUT!!!" Dr. Terry yelled, blasting Zell's eardrums, as he kicked Zell so hard, he was sent flying into the dark night sky.

The words "HELP ME MOMMY!!!" could be heard, as Zell was sent flying up, high, into the night sky

"That's much better, nice and quite"

"Um. sir, can we go see our friend now?" asked a very scared looking Rinoa

"WHAT DO YOU THINK?!" growled Dr. Terry as he sat down with a cup of .red stuff?

"Squall, I'm scared, and look at that, look at what he's drinking, it's red Squally, is it blood?" Rinoa whispered as she went behind Squall and clung onto his arm

"Young girl, what did you say?" Dr. Terry asked as he took a sip of his.um. red stuff.

"Ahh! Squall! I'm scared, let's get out of here!" Rinoa cried out as she ran outside, trying to get away from the man as fast as possible (She was even to lazy to open the door, so now, there was a Rinoa shaped hole in the door)

"So, sorry about that sir" Squall apologized as he watched his scared looking girlfriend run off in a fright, "But.um. may I ask what you are drinking doctor?"

"Blood of course" Dr. Terry replied as if it was normal.

"Ah, hahaha, you must be joking sir" Squall faked a really laugh

"No, of course not, this happens to be the blood that came out of your friend"

"Ah.um. well, it seems that. oh, look how late it is! I'm so sorry to have bothered you at a time like this, I'll just go get my friend and I'll be on my way sir, sorry to have bothered you" Squall quickly ( I mean REALLY quickly) said as he ran into the room and picked up Irvine, "So sorry sir, please don't drink my blood. I mean. bye, have a nice day. I mean night" Squall ran out of the house quickly, and soon he caught up with the scared Rinoa.

"Kids these days, don't have any sense of humor. but this blood is pretty good! Ahh! And I forgot to get the gil from them! Shoot! Oh well, at least I got my bed back now and I can finally go to sleep" The weird doctor said as he entered the room and fell fast asleep.

~*~*~*~

"Phew!" Rinoa said as she sat down on the bench near the train station (Remember, there in Timber), "That doctor was scary!"

"What was he anyways? A blood sucking vampire with sharp fangs and." Zell started saying

"Zell, you read too much comic books" Squall said as he shook his head disapprovingly, "We need to find a way to contact Quistis and Seifer and tell them where we are"

"Should we wait here for them?" Rinoa asked, suddenly the sound of a ringing cell phone was heard

"Hello?" Squall said as he opened the cell phone

"Hey Squall! We got trouble here!"

"Seifer?"

"Yeah, it's me, we got trouble here, Quistis was attacked and she's badly injured!"

"Is she alright?"

"I hope so, anyways, Quistis just woke up and she told me your number so I decided to call to tell you our status, oh, and she told me to tell you the poem she heard from Queenie"

"Queenie?"

"Yeah, she's the one who injured Quistis and I think she's also one of the people who captured Selphie"

"What's the poem?" "In the beautiful town that lies in the Winhill Is where the girl lies in the home of Loire Aero awaits her and Holy awaits him Both shall not die till the time is right"

"Seifer, that's not a poem"

"Yeah, I know, but that's what Quistis told me to tell you guys"

"I see. hey Zell, stop it! Don't take the phone away from me! Hey give it back!"

"Hey Idiot" Zell said in the phone as he tried to push Squall away

"Chicken-wuss"

"Pig"

"I'm not going to argue with you, give the phone back to Squall"

"Ha! I won! I won! I won!"

"Oh, just shut up Chicken-wuss"

Click

"Here you Squall" Zell tossed back the phone to an angry Squall as he shut the phone off.

"Shame on you Zell!" Rinoa said as she pointed her finger at Zell

"Okie then." Zell rolled his eyes

"Ugh." a sound could be heard

"What was that?" Rinoa asked frightened as she jumped up off the bench in a fright

"Thanks for getting off of me Rinoa" Mumbled a voice, Rinoa looked at the bench to see Irvine lying there (You see, Squall had placed Irvine on the bench lying down, and Rinoa, being frightened did not look at where she was sitting, so she accidentally sat on Irvine)

"Was I sitting on you? I'm so sorry" Rinoa apologized as she helped Irvine get up.

"Have you guys found Selphie yet?" Irvine asked as he leaned back against the bench, he was still too weak to walk around

"No, but we're going to go to Winhill, and look for her, another poem clue was found" Squall answered as he leaned against the lamp post beside the bench

"Poem clue?"

"That's a poem that's a clue to where Selphie is, just like what that Hunter person gave you" Rinoa explained as she saw Irvine nod his head

"Where's Quistis?"

"She's with the idiot at Deling city, that's where your poem told us to go" Zell explained

"Idiot?"

"He means Seifer" Rinoa said as she smacked Zell on the head

"Well, shall we get going to Winhill?" Irvine asked as he tried to stand up, only to fall back down again.

"Not in your condition, me and Rinoa can go to Winhill, you guys should go to Deling city and join up with Quistis and them" Squall stated as he went to buy tickets

"But." Irvine complained

"No 'But's' Irvine" Rinoa said sternly as she watch Squall come back and hand them their tickets

"Alrighty then, if anything happens, remember to report back to Super Zell!" Zell said as he started laughing.

"Zell, I don't get what's so funny" Rinoa stated as she went inside the station, Squall following behind her shaking his head disapprovingly

"Zell stop laughing and help me get up!" Irvine shouted at the laughing Zell, "Oh Hyne" Irvine sighed, this was going to be tough working with Zell, "I'll buy you a pack of delicious hotdogs once we get to Deling City, alright?"

Zell stopped laughing and started drooling instead

"Stop drooling and help me! Hey! Don't drool on me! AHH!!! Help me someone!! HELP ME!! "

~*~*~*~

"Okay, Squall, how did that poem go again?" Rinoa asked as she stepped out of the train station and into Winhill ( I know, I know, there isn't a station at Winhill, but come on, how are they suppose to travel? The Ragnark will come in later in the story)

"It wasn't even a poem at all, but the main parts said Winhill, Loire, Aero, Holy, and the time is right" Squall answered

"Oh, well, Loire, means Selph's at Raine Loire's house, but we shouldn't go there just yet until we find out what aero, holy and the time is right means" Rinoa explained as she took in the sight of Winhill, not much had changed, but Winhill was a magnificent place where the sights were beyond beautiful.

"I guess your right" Squall replied, "Aero and Holy are both magic, and there's time magic to, like slow and haste"

"Right could be said as right or wrong, or it could be used as right as in left or right" Rinoa said, "Do you remember the poem, the ACTUAL poem?"

"Um. no, not really, I remember the first and second line but not the fourth and fifth" Squall explained as he said the first two lines of the poem, "In the beautiful town that lies in the Winhill Is where the girl lies in the home of Loire"

"Well, we already figured out those two parts out. can you call Seifer and ask him what the last two lines are?" Rinoa asked as she took out his cell phone from his pocket.

"No use, he called me from a pay phone" Squall explained.

"Ohh! This is going to be hard!"

"Well, there's nothing left for us to do unless we go to my Raine's house" Squall explained as he headed for the house.

"I guess your right, but we better equip our magic" Rinoa warned as she went and caught up with him.

^^^ How'd you all like this chapter? I know, I'm sorry, I just didn't know how to fit Irvine in this chapter, I'm so terribly sorry. But next chapter, he'll be in it, but not much action will take place with him, since he still is injured, and then probably the next chapter after that, which would be ch.7 he'll be able to move and everything so he'll be back in action! Oh, I better explain some stuff that happened in this chapter, Quistis used slow magic because according to the first poem Each second that passes she loses her strength, second would equal to time, like minute and hour. Well, there are two magics that deal with time (or is there more than two.oh, who cares, anwayz) slow and haste. If Quistis hasted her, than, well, she would get faster, so that was bad, if she slowed her she would lose her strength cuz slow magic is her weakness. Also, the 2nd poem was pretty dumb cuz I was personally to lazy to think of another complexed poem, and Queenie does not like poems you see, She hates rhyming. Anyways, I'll explain in more detail (I hope I can) in the next chapter, but anyways, keep reviewing.
