Chapter Five
The Truth (Part One)
The leader ship had now been surrounded, and every one was on alert. On the second ship two pair's of brown eyes watched the leader ship. Suzanne and Lilly were worried. "What do you think going to happen?"

"Don't know. But I heard Miss Trepe has come up with a plan, so everything should be okay." Someone walked up to the girls and raped their arms around them.

"Come on you two, your uncle's here." The girls smiled and walked inside with their father.

A room with a map and six chairs. Seifer sat on one of the chairs while Quistis stood at the window watching the leader ship. "Do you really think it's going to work?"

"Well no one knows who your wife is . . . except Rinoa."

"Say what?" Seifer looked to Quistis wide eyes in shock.

"But I don't think she's told Squall." Quistis said while turning when someone open the door.

Zell and the twins walked in. "Sorry, had to find these two." Zell said as he sat across from Seifer. "So what's this plan?"

Quistis walked in front of the small family and took a deep breath. "Well, you all go to the ship."

"WHAT?" shouted the twins.

"Listen! You all go to the other ship, and stall for time."

"How are we supposed to do that?" asked Zell.

"Well I'll be the last to go on, but the girls can start saying they're each other. Or you can talk about my wife." said Seifer.

"But uncle Seifer we don't know anything about our auntie."

Seifer had forgotten about that. "Well Lilly has a point. What do you purpose Quistis?"

Quistis sat down, "Well it's really up to you - do you want to tell them or not?"

"Your leaving it up to me?" Quistis nodded. Zell and the twins just sat there waiting to find out what the two were on about. Seifer got up and walked other to the window, where he stood in silence for a little while, then he turned. "I guess it's the only way."

"What's the only way?" asked Zell.

"Me tell you who my wife is." Seifer once again took his seat and pulled out his wallet; he open it and took out a gold band ring. "This little thing belongs to . . ." Seifer stopped.

Zell, Lilly and Suzanne were all on the edge of their seats, waiting. ". . . Quistis Trepe . . ." Seifer then past the ring to Quistis.

"Wh . . . What? Sorry but that doesn't make sense. How could you have given birth to Reika and get married? You never leave the garden long enough for something like that, and you try and stay at garden as much as possible."

"I know. Do you remember after the Sorceress war, when we had to go to Windhill?" Zell nodded. "Well I was there for another week after you left and I meet up with Seifer and we got talking, then thing just happened."

"So you came back to the garden with child?"

"Yes. But Seifer and I stayed in contact. When I found out, I told him."

"She wanted to stay as long as possible, so she waited seven months then came to Windhill. And then about a month after the birth she went back."

"Okay, but the wedding?"

"Well we both wanted to keep it small, because of my history. So really only Matron, Cid, Fujin and Rajin were there."

Zell nodded slowly, trying to take every thing in. "Hay we've got a mission!"

"Suzanne's right." Quistis said. "Zell, remember what I told you about Reika?" Zell nodded. "Well I've told Seifer. All I want you lot to do is stall for time. I need to find Reika and teach her a some bits Rinoa told me. Hopefully it will be enough." Quistis got up, "Let's go."

On the leader ship Squall and Travis had been place in the cell with Reika, she had been badly beaten. Travis was trying to keep her warm, but she just pushed him away. "Sir what are we going to do?"

Squall was leaning up against the left wall. "There's not much we can do. No weapons, no magic. The best thing we can do is keep her warm."

"But she won't let us near her." Travis looked back to Reika. "Come on, put my coat on."

"Why should I? They're going to kill me anyway."

"No they're not. They have to get thought me first. I'm not letting someone kill my friend with out a fight."

"Quite! I hear something." Travis couldn't hear anything, but after a little while there was a light taping noise coming from above. It stopped. Squall and Travis slowly moved to the centre of the cell. The grate from the ceiling fell and the two men jumped back. Then a black dressed figure jumped down. "Who the hell are you?"

The figure stood up and removed it's mask. "Names Quistis Alasmy." Quistis wait around to see what Squall face was like, she just rushed other to Reika. "Reika! Reika , can you hear me?"

Reika nodded, "Does that mean that you're my mother?"

"Yes Reika. Now get up, if your anything like your father or me then you won't give up." Reika close her eyes and slowly and painfully pulled herself up off the floor, but then fell into her mothers arms. "Good girl. Now listen to me. You have Sorceress magic inside of you. And all I want you to do is look at the door and say 'TZOAS PZOGH'. okay, that's not much, come on."

Reika slowly lifted her head and said the words. A orange light came from the door and then a giant burst of red energy blow the door to the far wall.

Quistis kissed Reika on the forhead, "That's a good girl." Quistis picked up her mask and looked to Squall. "Could you carry her?" Squal just nodded. They took off. Quistis had to replace her mask, so the slid into a side room; lucky enough they found their weapons.

Up in the main control room of the leader ship the twins had just arrived. Zell was the first to arrive. "Where's Seifer?" the twins said nothing, they stood there looking at him.

"They won't talk to you." Zell shouted before a big build man hit him in the stomach. "They don't talk to strangers." Zell said from the floor in a painful breath.

The man smiled, "Well my names Edward White. What's your names?"

"I'm Lilly . . .

"No I'm Lilly!"

"No your not!"

"Are to!"

"Are not!"

"Are to!"

"Are not!"

"Are to!"

"Are not!"

"STOP!" Shouted Edward. He grabed both girls by their hair. "You two best be quite, or I'll kill you like your mother. Now sit down!" he then pushed them to their father.

"Well that's no way to treat two lovely young girls." came a voice from the door.

Edward turned to see Seifer leaning against the doorframe with a smirk place nicely on his scared face. "So you finally got here. Now all we need is your wife. Tell me who she is."

"Why should I?"

"I have your family, I have your daughter. And I'll kill them if you don't tell me."

"You'll kill them even if I did tell you. I'm not stupid."

Edward smiled, "Never said you were. You bring up the girl."

Seifer started to laughing, "And what's so funny?!"

Seifer shock his head, "do you mean that girl?" Seifer pointed to the window behind Edward.

Edward turn to see Squall enraged and holding a weak Reika, but she still smiled. "TZOAS PZOGH." she said. The glass shattered and flames engulfed Edward, who fell to the floor. Edward's man turned to run but where stopped by an angry looking Travis and a tall black clothed woman. Squall walked Reika over to the twins and let them look after her.

Squall turned and walked other to Seifer . . . "Look out!" Someone shouted and pushed Squall . . . 'BANG!' Seifer quickly turned pulling out a small hand gun and shot Edward in the head, then he ran to his bleeding daughter.
