A/N: I really want to finish this story...That way, I can work on my other ones. But I really can't update Silent Dreams until I finish this due to a very important part coming up in the next few chapters. And of course I can't do the sequel until I finish this. Oblivious, Pretty Girl, and Good Night, my Love are now just releases for when I have a creative burst in my head. I just really want to get this done because I put it off for a year and I've upset many people. I hope I will be able to update once a day (maybe twice when we get to the later chapters that are done) but I have a feeling I'm gonna be stuck at Chapter 37 or 38. Hopefully not, and if I do, I will not put it off. I'll get someone to give me ideas!
Seifer: Ok, enough rambling. On with the story, bimbo!

Silent Screams Chapter 34
With one slash of Hyperion, the doors were open. Seifer sheathed his sword and walked passed the sliced door. Squall followed behind him, then Irvine, and finally Nero. They looked around. "This wasn't like this before," Squall whispered out, afraid his voice would echo in the metallic halls.
Nero sighed softly. "She must have the power to change her environment as she sees fit. Might be quite a challenge."
Squall turned around, looking around for anything. "What do you mean a challenge?"
"She's made a maze, a metallic maze at that, in order for us to get lost."
Irvine frowned. "Should we be like Hansel and Gretel? Leave a trail of pebbles behind...or...something?"
Squall sighed, hanging his head. "Does anyone have string?"
ooooooooooo
Her blonde hair floated around her, giving her a golden halo around her silver body. She stared out into the black sky, the world being razed, smoke floating from where cities once stood. Quistis fell to the ground, the golden halo now disappearing. She was on her haunches, staring into the sky. The world...was dead.
She closed her eyes, tears dwelling up in them. She sniffled softly, knowing that she wouldn't be able to save the world this time. Her silver dress didn't have the same glow it did before. Her eyes, she was sure of, didn't have the same silver spark to them. She felt dead herself. She looked up into the sky, the solar eclipse now just passing. The sun blasted its rays onto the earth, giving the earth a new light. Quistis opened her tear stained eyes, watching the life of the world blossom. The tears stopped rolling down as she watched the world dance in a mysterious setting. Deiling, Esthar, Dollet, Balamb, Winhill, Timber, and all the cities continued to grow.
Quistis placed her hands on the ground, standing dutifully up. The wind picked up once more, lifting her hair and dragging it along the skyline. She looked out at the once black shrouded sky and it was now replaced with a bright blue sky, decorated with puffy white clouds.
She felt a soft hand on her leg. She turned to look behind her, only to result in seeing people. Thousands of hundreds of people were behind her. She looked down at her leg, seeing a little girl with bright green eyes and fire red hair. "We twust yoo..."
Quistis opened her mouth to speak, but resulted in being hushed by the little girl again.
"We twust yoo to save us...we twust yoo to protect us...we twust yoo to wuv us...do yoo twust us to rebuild the world?"
Quistis spun back around, seeing the people behind her rejoicing and dancing. Estharians and Galbadians danced around. She looked deeper into the crowd, seeing Zell throw his hands up at her. She saw Selphie bouncing around. She saw Irvine tip his hat. She saw Fujin and Raijen, dancing around Seifer and laughing with him. She saw Rinoa twirl a ribbon over her head. She saw Squall smile...an actual true loving smile. She saw all her friends and comrades.
She knew then...she had to win.
ooooooooooo
Quistis opened her eyes and slowly blinked a few times. She sat up, staring at the cold metallic world around her. She brushed back her hair, looking down at her dress. She stood up, feeling dizzy. Once she regained her composure she walked to the wall, pressing her hand up against it. She walked a few feet down, pressing against the wall. She turned around, seeing that there were, in fact, no doors. She turned back and looked at the wall. 'She knows everything that's going on in here, huh?'
Quistis placed her hands against the wall, concentrating slowly. She finally whispered out, "Maelstrom..."
Fire ripped against the walls leaving a circle in all the walls that it touched. Quistis walked through the first one, staring down the hall and then up the hall. She sighed softly, searching her magic for anything.
ooooooooooo
Squall, Seifer, Irvine, and Nero looked down the hole that had just formed. Behind them was a piece of string dangling in the middle of the hallway. Squall looked down the hole, seeing Quistis look down the hall and then up the hall. "Quistis!"
Quistis turned and looked down the hole. "Squall!" she shouted. She ran through the holes and jumped on Squall, wrapping her arms around him. "Squall, Squall," she muttered into his fur lined neck. He brushed down her hair, feeling the tears drip onto his chest.
She looked up, holding out her hand towards Irvine, Seifer, and Nero. She hugged them all. "Quistis, are you all right?"
She sniffled softly. "Yes, I'll be fine. I'm just...a...bit tired."
Suddenly, she fell to the ground, her hand resting on Seifer's leg. Squall lifted her up onto his back. "Let's get out of here now."
Suddenly, they were surrounded by demons. Squall took a step backwards, feeling Irvine's back. Nero grinned. "It's been ages since I've killed one. May I?" Nero asked, as if they had a choice.
Nero pulled out his swallow, slicing one in half, then easily twirling it around and slicing another. Seifer unsheathed his Hyperion, holding the back steady and protecting Irvine and Squall. He stabbed one demon that came forward, backing his way as he heard from behind him a demon dying. He looked back, seeing Nero cast a spell. He then heard 'ultima' being whispered out.
After the rush of demons, they were finally outside. They each boarded the Ragnarok, Squall holding Quistis rushed to the rooms, laying her on the bed. He held her hand, feeling the coldness of her skin. "She's cold!"
Nero walked in, staring down at her. He placed his hand onto her cheek, searching for anything. "I...I can't tell what's in her. But she's weak...extremely weak. That means the sorceress has gotten to her. She's...dying."
A/N: Yes, another short one. So sue me! All these chapters leading up to this...thing...are gonna kinda be short and to the point. I want to get to this...thing...as soon as I possibly can. It'll probably be in chapter 36...maybe 37.
Oh, and something to make you wet your pants. This was taken from a fanfic by Freeg Runner titled Final Fantasy and Three Sixths. Now...I'm not one for parodies, but this story is HILARIOUS.
Back in the cave...
BATMAN: The Joker's at it again!
ROBIN: Holy recurring villains, Batman!
BATMAN: Take off your pants. We're goin' to work.
Completely random. I suggest all of you who are looking for a good laugh, go read this story!
Seifer: Ok, enough rambling. On with the story, bimbo!
