Chapter 5-
Seifer glanced at the man a moment, even though he was tired, burnt and sore.
"This is some kind of sick joke right? Something for me to say "Just say to no sex" over right?" Seifer asked nervously.
Ian glanced down at the battered knight with disgust. "You are the reason why Drake is even here," He spat.
Seifer started to chuckle and everyone looked at him.
"You're a fool. Do you think I'm going to fall for that? Trepe-Almasy? You're pathetic, you're say me, the Sorceress's knight, had a kid with that frosty ice bitch?" He said and started to laugh full heartedly.
"Shut up!" Ian shouted and kicked Seifer in the face. Seifer spat blood out of his mouth and coughed once. Zell immediately held Ian back and Selphie helped restrain him.
"You're a dead man Seifer!" He shouted.
Irvine looked shocked at what Ian was doing. "Kid, cool it," Irvine said calmly. Ian continued to struggle a moment but then glanced at Irvine and started to calm down.
Seifer finished rubbing his sore jaw and with great effort stood up.
"I am Seifer Almasy, and I can tell you right now, that thing can't be my kid," He said.
Ian just shook his head. "You had a relationship with Quistis for several years, after the first one you produced your only children Drake Trepe- Almasy," He started.
"No official would wed either of you because of your history, and with economic problems that started to surface due to the sorceress war, you became more hated," He explained.
"Eventually, you and Quistis settled down with your son in a remote area in Galbadia. Eventually a mob of disgruntled and poor people tracked you down, burnt your house and dragged you, Quistis, and your son into their town," He said. "They shot Quistis for conspiring with you, and had you publicly disemboweled, no law enforcement did anything and the people cheered as they watched you die," He explained.
Seifer still watched as though he was lying, but behind his eyes he began to wonder. "Drake saw the entire execution of both his parents, and then as your body finally fell limp, she took grasp of his mind as she escaped your body," He said. "Diablos was on Quistis at the time, and using everything she had left, she pulled the Summon into your son, together they merged into what is Drake now," He explained.
"This all sounds like bullshit to me," Seifer said rolling his eyes. Squall and Rinoa glared at him.
"He went on his first killing spree at the age of six, killing 76% of the people in Dollet," Ian explained.
"So, you are blaming me, for getting killed and having children?" Seifer asked. "I'm blaming you for ever being born, being unable to protect your family, and for being a fool," Spat Ian.
"Guess what punk? I haven't done any of that, so fuck off!" Seifer shouted. "Both of you shut up!" Squall shouted.
"Ian, your reason for hating Seifer is pathetic, and Seifer, you are pathetic," He said. "If what he says is true, I wonder how on Hyne's green earth you got with Quistis, the very sight of you makes us all sick," He explained calmly.
Seifer looked at the ground and growled, he was no condition to say much against Squall or attack him.
"He has to die, before he has a chance to do anything in this lifetime," Ian said. Irvine elbowed his future son in the ribs and Ian shut up. "Then kill me alright?" Seifer answered.
"If it means so much, and so much on this end of the world bullshit, kill me!" He shouted. Everyone stared at him as he said it.
"You can't be serious," Zell said. "I am you fucking idiot chicken-wuss," He spat. Zell snarled but kept from doing what Seifer wanted.
"Seifer, calm down, I mean, it's horrible but I'm sure we'll find a way around it, right guys?" Selphie said.
'Because you are weak, and you cannot defend anything,' rang in Seifer's mind from the fight before. He saw his future son laughing at him as he attacked.
Everyone watched Seifer's face pale
Ian remained silent as Seifer continued.
"If I'm so worthless kill me, he was right, I really can't defend anything," Seifer said.
"Squall, I think Seifer is getting overwhelmed by all this," Rinoa whispered to Squall. "He might be useful against that thing," She added. Squall internally cursed and walked over to Seifer.
"You're coming with us," He said bluntly. "What?!" Ian shouted. "Don't make us hold you back again," Zell said.
"Why is that pubes?" Seifer asked glaring at Squall. "Because I want to stop that thing, and I have a feeling you do to," Squall said.
Seifer was already thinking on many other things. 'Quistis? I had a child with Quistis? But that doesn't make any sense,' He thought desperately. 'What happened?!' His mind roared.
He limped forward and nearly fell over. "I'll take care of my own business," He snapped.
"No you won't, unless you leave with us, I'll make sure you're in worse shape then you are now," Squall said. "We need you, whether I want to admit it or not," He added.
"I won't work with you, and touch me, you already said it, I'll be in worse shape," Seifer said. "I'll hunt that abomination down and kill it my own way," He added. He pulled a small item out of his pocket and began healing himself.
The Seeds walked away as Seifer sat down with a look of determination in his eyes. 'I'll kill that thing, it's not my son, I didn't have a kid with Quistis, its all bullshit, it couldn't have happened,' He thought desperately.
"They are just trying to trick me," He said narrowing his eyes on the leaving group of people.
He picked Hyperion up off the street where he dropped it and started to walk, he would need help, but Seed most certainly wouldn't be who helped him.
=== === Dollet, early morning the next day === ===
Quistis stepped off the train, she had stayed when the refugees left in Timer, and she knew that thing would look there first.
She remembered the entire evening now. It was frightening, and what was even more frightening was Seifer sacrificing himself to save her.
She knew he was dead, and felt terrible about it, he died because of her. She shook it off and frowned. "He wasn't that bad," She muttered and walked towards the nearest hotel.
=== === === ===
Drake smirked as he stood on the Galbadia palace with Dingo behind him.
"Are you sure she came here?" He asked. Dingo barked. "Good," He said.
His face then went to an emotionless one as he looked over Dollet. "It's fitting really, that it should all end here I mean," He said calmly. "I mean, it started here didn't it?" He asked as blood dripped from his hands. He looked at his hands and started to cry.
Dingo looked over to him and looked confused. "Look," He whispered. Dingo looked at the hand as droplets of red blood fell from it.
"So I can really bleed, amazing isn't it?" He asked and dried his tears. The blood turned black and the wound healed over. Snow started to fall from the sky and he smirked again.
"I always did love cold weather for a good hunt, don't you Dingo?" He asked. Dingo howled at the morning sky and Drake started to laugh.
=== === 1 hour later === ===
Drake walked down the street looking everywhere for Quistis.
"Come out come out wherever you are Quistis," He said with a smirk as he checked a back street.
"This game is becoming less and less fun without Dingo," He snapped. "Excuse me sir? Are you alright?" Someone asked from behind him. "Yes, but you-"He caught himself. "Have a nice day," He said with a smile.
It was becoming more and more difficult not to slaughter everyone here. But Ultimecia was telling him not to, he didn't know why it would have been much easier to do so.
His wings where wrapped around him like a cape at the moment, so no one was asking questions right now.
He snarled as he checked another building.
"This is getting ridiculous!" He shouted. Everyone on the street looked at him as he trembled with rage.
=== === Train heading to Fishermen's Horizon === ===
Quistis sat back and let out a sigh of relief. She had seen Drake stalking through the streets and left Dollet as soon as she could.
She feared that monster that was after her, every movement he made was aggressive and filled with hatred, she could feel it.
She hadn't had a drink since this started, and was proud of herself for that, but now she was a nervous wreck. She had to go back to Seed; they would protect her from him. But wasn't that obvious? And how would Seed stop an immortal psychopath?
=== === Dollet === ===
"Sir, you really need to... AGH!!!!" A bright purple blast blasted the man to pieces.
Drake let his wings expand to their full wingspan. Everyone on the street watched in horror.
"Why must I always have to resort to this?!" He shouted with rage.
"Where is Quistis Trepe!!!!!!" He shouted and the ground around him began to rumble.
He flew into the air at high speeds.
"QUISTIS!!!! COME OUT RIGHT NOW!!!!!" He shouted and it echoed across Dollet.
The Galbadia army was alerted by this new threat.
Drake started to snarl and growl and shook with rage as he pointed his hand down and fired a massive blast of power that blew up the presidential palace.
"COME OUT OR MORE DIE!" He shouted.
=== === Garden === ===
"Squall," Selphie said. "What is it?" Squall asked. "Have you seen the media?" She asked. "No," He said bluntly.
Rinoa was looking in horror at the video screen.
"Rin, what is it?" He asked as he walked in.
He then saw powerful bolts blasting Dollet.
"A mad creature is locked in combat in the city of Dollet at the moment, we are not sure what it is after, but it continually cries for someone named Quistis Trepe," The reporter said.
"Are you alright Rinoa?" Squall asked. "It hasn't given any news on my father yet," She admitted. Squall glanced at the monitor next. "He'll be fine," He said.
=== === Esthar === ===
Laguna watched the monitor with Kiros and Ward next to him.
"Well, he's crazy," Kiros said. "This is not good," Laguna said. "Get my Odin, I want to see what he has to think about that freaky thing," Laguna ordered.
"Freaky thing?" Kiros asked.
"The guy, with the wings, who looks all scary... ugh, just get Odin!" Laguna shouted.
=== === Galbadia, Dollet === ===
General Carrway saw Drake tear through another soldier not 30 feet from him. Blood dripped off Drake's hand as he snarled and turned his attention towards the command vehicle.
"YOU!" He shouted and started on his way towards them. Drake pointed his hand out and a black orb formed in his hand. He tossed it and it crushed everyone behind the General.
He turned to see their blood remains and turned back to find Drake right in front of him.
"You're General Carrway, you will tell me where Quistis Trepe, Edea Kramer, or Selphie Tilmitt is, NOW," He growled.
The General was surprised to say the least. He couldn't find the words and Drake grabbed him by the throat and lifted him high into the air.
"If you wish to see tomorrow, you will tell me what I want to know general," He snapped.
"I don't know," Carrway choked. "You know, your lucky, I believe you," Drake said and whipped Carrway into the side of a tank.
Drake then looked around and saw much of Dollet in shambles. "Damn, I guess I really did go off the handle didn't I?" He asked himself with a smirk.
'Quistis obviously saw you and escaped,' Ultimecia informed him. 'Selphie or Edea will also do, but I would prefer a younger body then Edea's,' Ultimecia explained. "Well, when those idiot Seeds come get me, I'll just take Selphie if I haven't already taken Quistis," Drake said with a broad smirk.
His wings braced themselves and lifted him into the air. He glanced down and growled. He'd consult Dingo later, for now he had to make sure he got way as he wasn't in the mood to take anymore bullet wounds.

Didn't advance the story much this chapter in my opinion, but next chapter I hope to push it further, anyway, thanks for reading.
