Chapter 13-
"He likes me, he likes me not, he likes me he likes me not . . ." Quistis mumbled under her breathe as she slowly took off the pedals of a rose she had picked up from the park, she knew it was a stupid superstition, but it didn't hurt to try at least, "He likes me, he likes me not, he likes me, he likes me not, he . . . LIKES ME?!" Quistis shouted out loud as he eyes widened, she slowly took a deep breath and calmed down, throwing the stem away in the garbage can she just passed and placed herself upon the green chair that stood by it.
Quistis sighed as she closed her eyes, trying to sort out her emotions as best as she could, 'Why is love so confusing? Why?' Quistis thought, 'They say he loves me, but how can I be sure it's true? How can I be sure it's all not a lie?'
Although Quistis was never tired in the first place she soon fell into a deep sleep, and before she knew it, a figure was carrying her off somewhere.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"I'm back!" Irvine called out as he entered the large empty pitch-black mansion, "Yo! Zell! You still in here?"
Snores could be heard from nearby (Remember? The Doctor's still asleep) and Irvine sighed as he closed the door he just opened a few moments ago, 'Where did everybody go?' Irvine thought as he slowly walked down the stone steps that led to the mansion, he knew Quistis was wandering around the park, but what happened to Zell?
'No use looking for him' Irvine thought as he started to walk away from the mansion, aimlessly, 'He's probably reading some kind of weapon magazine or somethin'
Irvine sighed as he passed under the arch, remembering the first time they had fought Edea, who was under the control of Ultimecia, it seemed so long ago when they had fought Ultimecia, yet it had only been a couple of weeks ago.
Irvine sighed as he entered the weapon shop, deciding to maybe upgrade his weapon or something.
"Welcome" The woman behind the counter greeted as Irvine entered the shop. Irvine eyed her suspiciously but didn't say anything, usually most of the time, it would be a guy handling a weapon store, and this was his first to see a woman behind the counter.
"Can I help you with anything?" The woman asked as she placed some of her medium-length black hair behind her ear, and Irvine peered at the nametag, which read 'Hi my name is Zat'
"No thanks Ma'am, I'm just looking around" Irvine replied, wondering what kind of name 'Zat' was
"You know, if your going on a journey to find a lost girlfriend, show me how much you love her and maybe I'll be able to help you"
Irvine looked at the woman mysteriously, but didn't say anything, "Who are you?" Irvine asked sternly, but the woman didn't reply, Irvine instiantly took out his weapon.
"Show me how much you love her, I'll help you on your journey" Zat said, and before Irvine knew it, he was lying on the ground, unconscious.
~*~*~*~*~*~
As Zell opened his eyes again, everything was back to normal, he was back in the plains by Deling City, and the sky was dark blue, indicating that it was late at night.
"What the Hyne just happened?" Zell heard a rough voice nearby say, and he looked over at the core of the sound to see that it was Haru, standing a couple meters away from him, know the only thing missing was El, where had she gone too?
"Argh Dammit! I forgot she had that type of magic!" Haru scold himself as he looked over at Zell with his dark black orbs of hatred and anger
"What the Hyne happened Haru? Where'd El go?" Zell asked, demanding an answer, he knew Haru was the enemy, but whom else could he ask such questions too?
"You really are stupid" Zell heard Haru state, and he gripped his hands, controlling his temper as best as he could, "She used a forbidden magic, she gave her powers to you, in exchange for her life"
Zell froze in both surprise and shock, El, using her life gave him her powers so he could save his friends. 'El you idiot!' Zell thought as he gripped and un-gripped his hands, trying to find some support.
"Che, Ultimecia won't be very please with this" Zell heard Haru state as he watched the older boy slowly get up off the ground, turning his back towards him, he slowly walked away
"Hey! I'm not done with you, you bastard!" Zell cried out, his eyes glaring towards the back of Haru, watching as he paused and turn around to face him.
"You, YOU think you can defeat me?" Evil laughter, "You've got to be kidding me, I'm sparing your life so be glad"
Zell felt as a flame of anger overflow his body "Don't underestimate me"
"Che, I'll be happy to end your life here and now" Haru, stated, his dark purple eyes staring straight at Zell's own (erm . . . what colour are Zell's eyes? Let's just say their brown for now) chocolate brown ones.
Zell got into his fighting stance and watched as Haru stand there, for a moment it seemed like the two fighters were having a staring contest.
"If you're not going to do anything, I'm going to leave"
Zell clenched his fist as he started rushing madly towards Haru, pulling his arm back and getting ready to hit it right at Haru's face.
"Ah! Your still young, you're still young"
Zell felt as his punch was caught in Haru's fist and he quickly sent a kick towards the older boy's stomach, which was once again blocked by Haru, who caught it with his other hand.
"Really, that girl gave her powers to the wrong boy"
Zell clenched his fists, "Shut up!" He cried out as he used his free left hand and aimed it for the boy's face.
Haru smirked, and with his great speed, easily dodged the punch and in return kneeled Zell hard in the stomach, letting go of him and allowing him to fall on the ground.
"Oh, what a GREAT fighter you are" Haru smirked
[I'll defeat him, for El I'll defeat him] Zell thought angrily, getting back up off the ground, he wiped the small line of blood that trickled down the right side of his mouth and glared towards Haru, who only smirked in return. Boy did this guy remind him of how Seifer used to be.
"Zell, Use my powers to defeat Haru and Ultimecia, save your friends, and bring this world to peace" El's words once again appeared in his mind and he let a out a small smile, "I'll defeat you Haru"
"Yes, of course you will, I'll be right here, waiting to see how you'll sign your own death wish"
Zell smirked, suddenly, feeling as if there was another presence in him; looking down towards his right arm, he let out a soft gasp as he saw what was there. His arm, which now seemed to have weird symbols on it, felt strange, warm, and full of energy. Trying to recognize some of the letters, he finally figured out that they were written in an old Chinese language, which he remembered his mom had taught him when he was little for some unknown reason. Reading them out one by one, he saw as powerful magic appear before his eyes as the correct Chinese symbol set off a bright glow. The so-called 'magic' that Zell was using was not the normal kind that hit the opponent; this magic swirled around Zell's arm. It was like . . . something words could not explain, it surrounded around Zell's fist, so that when he hit the opponent, it would hurt more than any normal magic would, yet, it wouldn't hurt him, the owner of it.
"Oh, so it seems the little boy actually has some power" Zell watched as Haru pulled back the area of black hair which had covered his right eye, which seemed to have just fallen back into place again, "Now, shall we get onto fighting?"
Zell grinned, watching as the fire symbol on his arm light up, running towards Haru, pulling his arm back, he aimed for Haru, yet instead of what he did earlier, Zell sent a kick at Haru's stomach first, getting the older boy off guard and then sent the punch at him, "Never underestimate me"
Watching as Haru quickly pull back after the punch, and examine his burned left shoulder, Zell smiled wickedly, which was very unlike his character. Watching as the swirl of fire slowly disappear, Zell felt his body weaken, but he kept his composure. Boy, that power sure did take a lot of energy from him.
"Ice" A bright blue glow appeared as a blue swirl of ice surrounded Zell's arm, "Ready or not, here I come!"
Zell sent a series of punches and kicks towards Haru, and watch as the older boy groan as blood slowly escaped him. Little did he notice the smirk that was hidden underneath the boy's bloody mess
"Yes, I have to admit you have gotten stronger-" Zell beamed slightly, but it quickly faded as he felt himself lose control of his body the exact same time he remembered that he was the enemy.
"- but you're still no match for me"
Zell froze; once again he was under Haru's strings. Quickly trying to figure out some plan to escape, he closed his eyes. Trying to remember everything El had told him about 'puppeteers'
"Have you noticed that we can move some parts of our bodies but not others?" "He doesn't have complete control over us" "The only way for you to break out is if you have enough power, and the only way you'll get that power is if you let me into you"
Parts of him and El's conversation popped into his mind, and he quietly swore. Yeah, she did tell him information about puppeteers, but she never said anything on exactly HOW you were supposed to escape. Yeah, he has the power to escape now since El gave him her powers but what in the Hyne was he supposed to do with those powers?
"So, now, some pay back time" Zell watched as Haru wipe away the blood that was dripping down his chin, the, in one quick motion, he had sent a hard punch towards Zell's stomach, causing him to spit out blood (spit, is that the correct word?)
"Damn you" Zell swore, a few more punches connected with his body, and Zell slowly felt himself lose his conscious. Before he totally lost it, a familiar voice echoed in his head.
"Don't worry Zell, I'll take over for you"
Zell let a smile appear on his now bloody lips, recognizing the voice the instant he heard it, "Thanks El" And then, he fell into total darkness.
"Ah, the poor things unconscious" Haru said in a little baby tone, as he shook his head, "And you thought you were able to defeat me with such strength, che! How BORING"
"Not really" Haru looked towards the unconscious Zell and his forehead creased in confusion.
Slowly, watching as the symbols on the boy's right arm shine brightly, one symbol after another, he felt as the strings he had placed over the boy's body snap one after another, and he froze for a slight second, what was going on?
Slowly the glow from the boy's arm spread thought his body and soon, the bloody child had a golden glow surrounding him.
"You know, you really shouldn't underestimate Zell" A soft voice came from the boy's lips.
Haru said nothing, waiting for the mysterious 'thing' to continue on.
"Though he's a bit slow, you really shouldn't underestimate him, exactly why I gave him my powers"
"13" Haru said, the words slipping out of his mouth, he smirked, "I guess I'm not as familiar with the powers of Ultimecia's stone like I thought I was"
"Nope, not at all" And with a wave of the boy's hand, which 13 seemed to be controlling, a bright blast of white light shot towards Haru and embedded him with slices and cuts, causing the knight to go unconscious.
"Ah, how boring" El stated as she controlled Zell's body. Walking back towards the entrance of Deling City, where Zell would possibly be found by someone in the city and be brought safe inside, El left the boy's body. (f you're wondering why she didn't bring him into the city, read the author notes at the bottom of the chapter)
~*~*~*~*~*
Finally after what seemed like hours of walking, the trio had finally arrived at an empty field, where the battle would take place.
"We're here" came B-M26 mechanical voice, snapping Squall out of his thoughts.
"Finally" Walking over next to his cheery girlfriend who seemed to be examining the pinwheel carefully
"Erm . . . do we fight now?" Squall slapped his forehead with the palm of his hand, sometimes his girlfriend asked the stupidest questions.
[No, of course not, we're here to have a nice picnic] Squall was urging to use those words towards her, but he knew he would hurt her feelings deeply so he stayed quiet; he wasn't the type of person who would say such harsh words anyways, he only the type who thought them.
"So if we win you, we can get the Ragnark back," Squall stated as he got into his fighting stance, Rinoa who was standing beside him did the same.
"Yes"
"Then let's fight!" As Squall finished off his sentence he ran towards the large machinery monster and jumped up, slicing down upon the large beasts leg. Squall, who had totally forgotten about the beasts tail, was caught off guard when the large steel tail swapped towards him, sending him flying a few feet away.
"Squall!" Squall heard his girlfriend call out and he quickly got back on his feet, running back towards the large beast. Rinoa, who was keeping a distance away, send her pinwheel flying towards the monster and was able to make a deep cut upon the monsters un-steel part of the face.
Using the chance that the monster was not focused on him, he once again jumped up and tried to slice the large beast.
SCREEEEERRRRCCCCHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sounds of metal upon steel echoed throughout the empty field and had instantly diverted the attention back upon him. Quickly, landing back upon his feet, he placed the gunblade out in front of him, just in time to block B-M26 claws. The beasts large strength had caused Squall to slide back a few paces, but the instant the pressure was gone, he slashed towards B-M26 large claw, causing it to screech out in pain as blood escaped the monsters body.
"Nice Squally!" Rinoa cheered on from a couple feet away as she aimed her pinwheel towards B-M26 once again, yet this time, the large machinery monster was smart and it had used it's large winds as a shield, causing the attack to be useless.
"Aim for the actual skin Rinoa! Not the steel" Squall instructed as he watched his girlfriend nod. Squall ran around the back of the beast and decided to attack from their while his girlfriend attacked from the front. The beast wouldn't be able to attack from both ways. Running up close to the monster while dodging it's steel tail along the way, he sent a few slashes towards B-M26 and watched as it howled in pain.
After a few more minutes
"Okay, you win, I'll show you to your ship"
Squall paused; the battle wasn't even over yet! Eyeing the large machinery in confusion, he finally settled in for the reason that the beast gave up was because it was scared to die and was too chicken.
"Ah! I'm glad we don't have to fight anymore" Squall looked over at his girlfriend who seemed to be smiling happily. * Sigh * He didn't understand her one bit at all.
Okay, finally a new chapter posted after . . . erm . . . a very long time. Okay, so reviews are very appreciated. If you have any questions, feel free to ask and I'd answer them in the next chapter.

Deling City event Okay, now, if you're wondering why El decided to leave Zell outside the city was because whenever she takes control of Zell's body, he glows. So if she had brought him inside the city, people would have probably freaked out or gave him to an evil scientist who would do an evil experiment on him and then . . . yes, I'm getting off topic.
Why is El revived? Okay, as I said in the story, Haru does not know as much about the stone as he thought he did. As I said in chapter 11, El is one of the many erm . . . fairy's I guess you can call, who escaped out of Ultimecia's stone, which is her power. Anyways, Haru dosen't know much about the stone or it's power, so he had presumed after much researching that since she gave Zell her power, she would die. Well, That's not the case (why is it not the case? Well, this is my story), El has actually I guess you can call it, gone into Zell's body. She gave him her power, and whenever Zell is in danger and he can't handle the situation on his own, El will come along and help him. Hope it's not too confusing
Why did you make B-M26 chicken out? Well, it's because I have absolutely no idea how Squall and Rinoa will be able to finish off a steel monster with just weapons, and I didn't know how to write the battle scene.

Why did you make B-M26 chicken out? Well, it's because I have absolutely no idea how Squall and Rinoa will be able to finish off a steel monster with just weapons, and I didn't know how to write the battle scene.
