Final Fantasy VIII- Shadow of the Sorceress
Shout outs-
Pretty Green Eyes- Thanks you very much for the helpful tips man, I've never been good at writing, but it's the ideas in my head I like to get down, I'll try to implement your idea.
Also, ANONYMOUS REVIEWS will now be accepted, sorry, just got the account and thought they where automatically accepted.
Angelisense- Yes, this is a Quifer/Seiftis (Whichever term you want). And yes, only Squall, Irvin, and Rinoa are alive in the future, Selphie, Seifer, Quistis, and Zell are not alive in the timeline that Ian and Drake come from (However it no longer exists).
Chapter 3- Enter Irvine and Selphie
Squall was looking out his balcony in his room.
Squall from what he had heard so far, didn't like the future all too much. From the sounds of things, it was nothing but death, destruction and misery. How he tolerated it in that time he didn't know, but in this timeline tragedy and loss where to be kept at a minimum.
'I'll be damned if I allow Ultimecia to win... but how did she survive everyone?' Squall mentally asked himself. 'Did she hide? Did she somehow fake her death? What?' He wondered.
He then noticed Rinoa enter his room behind him. "Are you alright?" She asked. "Of course," He replied. She wrapped her arms around his waste from behind and rested her head on his back.
"Alright, we'll get some sleep," Squall said. He wondered how Quistis was doing on her own for a moment...
=== === Timber Train Station === ===
Seifer missed with his gunblade against the ravenous hound and it back slashed him into the side of a train, a large dent appeared in the side of the metal. Seifer stumbled to get up and ducked under a slash from Dingo, which cut clean through the steel behind him. Seifer slashed the beast up the chest with his blade and fired the gunblade. A large heated gash tore through the monster and it went back with a horrid yelp.
Coyote ran on all fours at him and jumped at him, its vicious teeth borne. He rolled to the side and Coyote hit the train head first and stumbled back.
Quistis during this time was having much more trouble.
She cracked her whip at Vampire, who disappeared where she aimed. She moved back as he appeared in front of her with a grin. "Hello my dear," He said.
Quistis smirked back at him. "Is something funny?" He asked with an amused voice. "FIRA!" She shouted bad blasted him in the chest with a rather large fireball. Vamp went back on fire and broke through a wall. Quistis saw no movement for a moment. She turned to see how Seifer was doing.
Seifer was knocked to the ground and got back up. Coyote stood right infront of him growling. 'Shit!' Seifer thought.
"Duck!" He heard from behind. Seifer ducked and a vicious crack was heard. Coyote was hit in the cheek by Quistis's whip and stumbled to the side holding its cheep. In one swift move upwards from his position, Seifer cut Coyote in half. The torso of the beast hit the ground and blood pooled around the now dead were-wolf.
Dingo stepped back immediately and looked nervous, while still snarling.
Quistis then felt very weak for some reason, she felt compelled to turn around. She turned around to see Vamp, but couldn't move at all. "Ahh my sweet, I must reward you for harming me," Vampire stated.
Quistis couldn't move for some reason, it was something he was doing, she knew it. Vampire showed his fangs. "Don't worry, it only hurts for a moment," He said was about to bite Quistis who had fallen to her knees but stopped with a shocked look.
He trembled for a moment and looked down to see the large blade through his stomach, right through the back of his spine.
Seifer drew the blade out and Vampire fell to his knees. "Drake will kill you for this," Vampire whispered before Seifer swung Hyperion and cut the head clean off Vampire.
Seifer spat on the body and looked at Quistis, who had just seen Vampire beheaded in front of her. She snapped out of it and stood up. Dingo immediately jumped on top of the train and then started a mad dash for safety.
"Thank you," She muttered. Before she could react she felt the cold bloody blade on the side of her neck. "Don't thank me yet," Seifer said with a smirk.
=== === Over the Ocean === ===
Drake felt two shivers go up his back as he flew in the now night sky. He glanced back towards the mainland. "Vampire and Coyote," He said to himself narrowing his eyes. "Dingo is still alive, I wonder," Drake said to himself. "Seifer should have been dealt with easily enough," He added as an after thought. "Perhaps he isn't as pathetic as Ultimecia said he was,"
=== === Ragnarok over the Ocean === ===
Irvine looked at the pilot. "Cloud sends this thing to get us, but you still won't tell me why, he told me urgent, well what is urgent?" Irvine asked. "I don't know either sir," The pilot answered. "We'll be arriving in two hours, I'm sure the commander will tell you there," The pilot said. Irvine sat back down beside Selphie. "Don't worry about it, I'm sure its fine," She said smiling.
Drake watched the speeding jet flying. 'Wow, I've never seen that before, what is it?' He thought.
He then noted it was flying at him, very fast. "What the?" He realized too late and tried to dodge but was hit head on by the Ragnarok, the impact broke his wings.
Drake fell 200 feet and crashed into the water.
"What was that?" Irvine asked. "Oh we just hit some flying monster don't worry about it, this baby can take a lot more," The pilot said smiling.
"Metal... not a monster," Drake muttered, his broke form lying in the water.
=== === The next morning, Garden === ===
Squall woke up with Rinoa beside him. He smiled to himself and carefully rolled out of bed and made sure not to wake her.
He had a quick shower, got dressed and went to the headmaster's office to insure that everything was in order.
"Commander," Ian said coming up behind him.
"What?" Squall asked bluntly. "It's about Drake," Ian said. "I was wondering if perhaps we should go after him, and try to find a way to imprison him," Ian said. "He may start killing innocent civilians soon," Ian added a moment later.
"I'll think about it, because you made him out to be a god, how you think we can contain that type of power?" Squall asked. "Adel was contained," Ian said. "Why haven't you done it in the future?" Squall asked. "We no longer have the resources," Ian said frowning.
Squall sighed. "Alright, I'll see if we can get in contact with Dr. Odin about it," Squall said.
"Until then, I have some things to check over," He said and pushed past Ian.
'He has a problem with me,' Ian thought. "Guess he was always a dick," Ian said shrugging. 'But then again, in this time he doesn't blame you for the death of his first child, and the maiming of his only son,' Ian thought.
"Ragnarok on intercept course with Garden sir," Xu said when Squall entered his office. "Excellent, with Selphie and Irvin here, that should help give us some more of an edge against that thing," Squall said.
"Ummm sir, one other thing, there seems to be something flying after them, its slower but very fast," Xu said.
=== === Drake === ===
Drake followed the Ragnarok, he could still barely see it in the distance, and he was putting everything he had into following. He had never seen technology like that, but had heard that it existed in a nation he had yet to touch in his own time, Esthar.
He had tried to enter the great city before, but every time was horribly maimed on any attempted to enter.
He had managed to get a slight glimpse of some of the technologies from the nation when he captured Dr. Odin while he was at Garden, but he still had yet to see it. He wanted to watch it burn and spiral into chaos.
=== === Train on way to Balamb === ===
"You'll never get away with this Seifer," Quistis said rolling her eyes, he right hand chained to one of the seats.
"Quistis, for once in your life, just shut up, you're my bargaining chip to talk to pubes," Seifer said bluntly.
"Why do you even want to talk to Squall? Do you want to kill him, is that it?" Quistis asked with venom dripping off every word.
"No, I... well... I need his help," Seifer said. Quistis started to laugh and Seifer's face twisted with rage. "STOP LAUGHING!" He shouted. Quistis immediately shut up and stared at him nervously.
"There was this freak that attacked me the other day, he was actually out to get me," Seifer said. "I cut him apart almost and slit his god damn throat, but he still got up, as good as new," He said with a slight amount of fear in his voice.
"Drake," Quistis said and gulped. "Who? The thing that idiot mentioned?" Seifer asked. "No, what attacked you, his name is Drake, he attacked me in Balamb," Quistis explained.
Seifer looked at her a moment. "Prove it," He said. "Drake is about 6'5, brown hair, athletically muscled, wore a blue and white V-neck T-shirt, had a pair of sun gla-"She was cut off.
"Alright, that's him," Seifer said. Seifer walked over and released the lock on the chain and let Quistis's hand free. "Why?" She immediately questioned.
"I know you have a GF junction, if you wanted to escape, you would have by now," Seifer said. "Obviously you think I'll be caught by Squall and defeated and that Squall will rescue you, so what is the point of keeping you chained?" Seifer asked.
Quistis remained silent he hit the nail on the head.
"Besides, if those three worked for that freak, then he may come after us himself, the mongrel that got away could track us easily," Seifer explained. "So in other words, having you chained to that is not good for either of our health," He explained.
=== === Garden === ===
The Garden finally came over dry land and stopped over the south of the Esthar continent. The Ragnarok landed next to it. Irvin and Selphie exited the Ragnarok and entered the Garden.
"Irvine, Selphie!" Zell shouted and waved at them as he walked towards them.
"Zell? Is that you?" Selphie said with her broad smile and cheerful voice. "Course, why wouldn't it be?" Zell said with a grin.
"Nice to see you man," Irvine said. "Yea! We where so glad to come back but there is still a lot of work to be done on Trabia," Selphie said, but ended sadly.
"Yea, I know, but we have other problems," Zell said seriously. "Yea, about that, what the hell was Squall going on about?" Irvin asked.
"A new bad guy I'm afraid," Zell said frowning. "The commander is trying to find Seifer too, he might be involved in this whole thing," Zell explained. "Seifer," Selphie and Irvin said together with mistrust in their voices.
"I'll bet he's in on this," Selphie muttered. "So far no, but in the future he might be," Zell said. "What? C'mon, explain what's going on," Irvin said.
"I don't know the whole story," Zell said frowning.
"Can you tell us what you know?" Selphie chirped. "No, Squall or Ian will," Zell said. "Ian?" Selphie asked. "The whole thing is complicated, just follow me," Zell said and turned to head to the elevator.
Irvine and Selphie entered the Headmaster's office behind Zell.
Squall was sitting in his chair looking over some papers and Ian was standing behind the desk.
Selphie immediately noted how Ian looked very similar to Irvin.
"Selphie, Irvine," Squall said with a slight smile. "Its good to see you two made it and are alright," Ian said behind him.
"Who is this?" Irvin asked. Ian seemed to choke up and couldn't answer.
"This is Ian, he saved us in Balamb," Squall said. "Alright, pleasure to meet you, I'm Irvin," Irvin said extending his hand. "I'm Selphie," Selphie said next extending her hand. He stared down at the hands and swallowed. He shook both their hands and nodded.
"So Squall, what's this new bad guy?" Selphie asked. "Is he a meany?" Irvin mocked. "Shut up!" Selphie said playfully.
"He's a psychopath out to restore Ultimecia," Squall said casually. Both froze and stared back him. "How?" Selphie asked. "He has some of Ultimecia's essence inside of him, we aren't exactly sure how it got their," Ian said.
"Where did he come from?" Irvine demanded. "The future," Squall answered. "I'll spare you how he got here, I don't think you want to know," Squall added.
Selphie frowned. "This is just great, we had such good news too," Selphie said frowning. "What is it?" Zell asked. "Well, Selphie and I are going to be parents," Irvine said.
Ian immediately paled. He knew that it wasn't him, and he had no siblings, so Selphie must have died during the pregnancy. "Really? That's sweet!" Zell said excitedly.
"Yea, how did you find out he's from the future?" Selphie asked. "Me, I followed him," Ian said.
"Wow," Selphie said. Irvin stared at the man a moment and turned back to Squall. "What has he done?" Irvin asked. "The new evil, his name is Drake, and he's killed a lot of people where I come from, and hurt a lot of lives," Ian said frowning.
"For starters, he's put you in a wheelchair," He said. Irvine looked shocked. "I just find it shocking to see you walking, it must have been ten years since he broke your back," Ian said sadly.
"Y-You mean my poor Irvy is going to get hurt?" Selphie asked looking shocked. Ian glanced at her sadly, if the timeline stayed the same she wouldn't live to see him get hurt, but he already knew it would be different, but Selphie died in 7 months, so it might be the same. He could change things if he wanted, should he?
"He's hurt everyone," Ian added. "He killed Rinoa and Squall's daughter, and maimed their son," He said. Squall's eyes locked on Ian right away.
Ian seemed to freeze for a moment. He saw Ian looking at his gun and then looked at him dangerously.
"Where did you get that firearm?" Irvine asked. "You," Ian said honestly. Selphie started at the two men a moment.
"Oh my god! Are you our son?!" She squealed. "Err... in a sense," He said. Squall knew the answer and frowned.
"I'm Irvine's son," He said. Selphie blinked twice before it settled in. Irvin frowned. "W-we break up?" She asked on the brink of tears.
"No, you die in seven months in an accident in Trabia," Ian explained. Selphie immediately protectively put her hands on her stomach.
"Relax, now that we know, we can prevent it right?" Zell asked. "I mean, I was supposed to die a few days ago!" He said with a nervous smile.
Selphie still looked petrified. "Sel, calm down alright? We'll find a way around this," Irvine said pulling her against his side.
Irvine turned to Ian again. "What the hell is this Drake thing?" He asked looking serious with determination in his voice.
=== === Outside Garden === ===
Drake stopped when he felt the presence of Rinoa. He stayed airborne and shook slightly. "No," He snarled. "She can't hurt me," He added, trying to convince himself.
He then remembered something, Dingo. 'I have better things to do,' Drake thought, trying to find an excuse to escape. A dark aura seemed to surround him and he flew away at full speed as his wings flapped viciously.
=== === Rinoa === ===
She sat up slowly, she had felt something outside, but it was wrapped with fear and was leaving as fast as it could. She remembered this feeling, it must have been Drake. He was afraid of her for some reason, she didn't know why, he seemed to dominate all the fights, she wasn't even the best fighter, why wasn't he afraid of Zell or Squall?
=== === === End === === ===
Well, that's chapter 3, hope everyone enjoys.
