Yunie-star-Tidus-cutie-:::Setting up traps:::

"Lady Meva, we have caught the assassins"

"Bring them in then"

"My lady, I strongly suggest you don't"

"For crying out loud! I can look after myself Kuja!"

"As my lady wishes"

"Bring them in Rdanaty"

The solider named Rdanaty opened the door and shoved Quistis, Zell and Selphie inside and then took up post

"At ease Rdanaty" spoke a girl who had blond hair down to her waist. She was wearing a long sky-blue dress made of cotton and a light pink jacket. She was seated on a white two-person couch with fine embroidery on the cushions. She stood up when she saw that their hands were bound.

"ihdea dras yd uhla! fa yna hud nihhehk y bnecuh rana!"

"Pid Meva! Drao sekrd yddylg oui!"

"Huhcahca! Yht keja dras pylg draen faybuhc duu!"

"Oac Meva, cunno"

Zell, Quistis and Selphie had no idea what Meva and Rdanaty were saying but it must've been something good as they were untied and given back their weapons. They stood there in shock and watched as the soilders in the room disarmed.

"There, you might feel a bit more at ease now, you're armed and they're not. Would you like some tea?"

She handed them each a cup of steaming liquid, Selphie sipped hers cautiously and then drank it all, resulting in a coughing fit, Zell pounded her on the back while Quistis eyed Meva suspiciously.

"Why aren't we locked in a dungeon of some sort? Why are we here? Why are we armed?" she asked

"Exactly what I'd like to know" Said a man in a navy blue suit standing near the window "Lady Meva, these people came here to kill you. They deserved to be hanged straight away"

"Crid-ib Kuja" Snapped a man with white hair and a dark tan, he was wearing a pair of sweat-pants and a white singlet-top. He was also wearing a blue bandana

"Thank-you Baralai, your support in situations like these means a lot to me"

"Not at all my lady" he bowed, Kuja stepped forward

"My lady, these vermin came here to kill you! They should be executed and their heads shoved on pikes!"

Zell stood up and raised his fists and Selphie took out her nunchaku, they took a step toward Kuja but Meva got there first

"MY FATHER IS A HIRED MERCENARY!" she slapped him "WOULD YOU HAVE THAT DONE TO HIM!?" she slapped him again, she rose her hand to give him a final hit but Baralai stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

"Not that he didn't deserve it my lady, but I must stop you before you inflict serious injury upon your councillor"

[I think that she already inflicted serious damage] Zell whispered to Selphie and Quistis

[Definitely]

[For sure]

"KAD UID UV SO CEKRD NEKRD DREC EHCDYHD!" They looked up at Meva who was ready to punch Kuja and was struggling against Baralai's grip on her wrists. Kuja got up and ran toward the door, muttering words under his breath.

[He looks pretty beat up huh?]

[Yep]

[Peace and love!]

Meva flung herself on the couch, she rolled to face the three SeeDs

"My fathers a ex-SOLIDER, they're hired mercenaries too, that's why I didn't order you to the dungeon or anything, you were just doing your job is all, Kuja should understand that at least, anyway, who was it that ordered my death?"

Zell and Quistis looked at each-other

"A guy named Lord Sarion!"

"SELPHIE!"

"So, Sarion fancies himself as a lord now does he? Heh, I can take care of that easily"

The SeeDs looked at her

"What? Did I say something out loud?"

before they could answer they heard voices out side

"What the hell did you do with Selphie!?" yelled a voice they recognised as Irvine's

"Irvine! Shut-up for once in your goddamn life!"

"Squall? Is that you?"

"Zell?"

"Rinoa?"

"OW! LET GO OF ME YOU BASTARD!"

"Don't touch Rinoa! You hurt her and you die!"

"What are you going to do to me huh? You're bound"

"Do you know those people?" Meva asked, Quistis nodded

"Ihdea dras yht mad dras eh, keja dras pylg draen faybuhc duu" she called,

there was a scuffling and Rinoa, Squall and Irvine were shoved through the door. Rinoa fell on top of Squall which caused him to fall on Irvine which caused him to fall on Meva which caused her to fall on Quistis which caused her to fall on Selphie which caused her to fall on Zell which caused him to fall on Baralai which caused them all to fall on the floor. Rdanaty started laughing at them all in their mangled heap

"Shut-up and help us get up" Meva groaned

"I can't feel my legs" Selphie complained (She's third on the bottom, she's got a lot of weight on top of her)

"Get off my ribs!"

"I can't move!"

"People, we need to calm down, who's on the top?"

"I am" Rinoa called

"Can you get off safely?"

"No"

"Damn, any got a plan?"

"Meva, sykel fuimt pa icavim hu?"

"Thank-you Rdanaty, but in case you haven't noticed, I can't move my hands, or my legs for that matter"

"Can't you just chant to remove the top person? It might make it a slight bit easier"

"Been there, done that"

"Any ideas Squall?"

"Does it look like it Irvine?"

"Hey! At least you got a cute chick on top of ya!"

"IRVINE! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DATING ME!"

"Sorry Seffie"

"Baralai, can you help me?"

"with what?"

"lryhd dra rosh uv dra vyodr"

"ok"

"You too Raddy"

"Must i?"

"Yes"

"very well"

Baralai and Rdanaty started singing a strange song while Meva closed her eyes and muttered words under her breath, Selphie and Zell were bickering while Quistis was trying to keep the circulation in her leg and Squall was calming Rinoa down. He had just learnt the hard way that she had a phobia of heights. There was a flash of white and suddenly everyone was standing around the room, away from each-other. Meva smiled triumphantly from her position on the couch.

"Everybody stand still or the spell'll miss you" she said

"Linyky!" A wave of blue light washed over everyone, healing their wounds and sore muscles. Meva stood up and offered the couch to Rinoa, Quistis and Selphie, all who looked like they were in bad shape, they took the seat gratefully and sat down. Meva walked over to her desk and sat on it. Zell sat on the floor while Squall leant on the wall and Irvine stood next to the door.

"Okies, everyone, if someone comes through that door and fall over, don't try to stop them or that'll happen again, and I don't want a bunch of injured peeps in my office, got it?"

everybody nodded

"Good, now, to business, did Sarion say why he wanted me dead?"

"Nope, only said he wanted ya outta the way!" Selphie chirped, Squall and Rinoa looked at her

"Why did you tell her that?"

"Because, we were discussing it before that lovely collision" Quistis said yawning

"Yeah, Meva's pretty neat Squall, she gave us a drink and everything!"

"And you drank it?"

"Well yeah of course!"

"And you were aware that she was who we were supposed to kill?"

"Yeah"

"How did you know if it was poisoned or not?"

"We tested it on Selphie first"

"Uh, hate to break up the love-fest, but my brother's out to kill me buy hiring SeeDs, anything I can do to win your trust?"

"No"

"Squall!"

"What?"

"I say we give her a chance!"

"Yeah!"

"I agree!"

"She did give us back our weapons and stuff"

"She healed us"

"Come-on Squall, give her a chance"

"..."

"Can I take that as a yes?"

"...Whatever"

"oooookay, be anti-social, Just like Ruba"

"Meva! Bevellian soldiers are on their way!"

"Cred! Nih!"

"what?"

"RUN!"

"Gotcha"

everybody headed toward the door at once, ending up in a big pile, Squall, Irvine, Meva, Rdanaty and Baralai stood back against the wall, watching them fight to get out

"Uh, I may be wrong" Meva said "But aren't I supposed to be leading my troops out to meet the army?"

"No, you're supposed to be on your way to Spira so that you can stay with your aunt and uncle and not get killed"

"Oh, how am I gonna do that?"

"Secret passageway?"

"Oh yeah, almost forgot about that"

Meva walked over to her desk and pulled a pen out of the drawer, the wall behind her opened and everybody stared at her, she walked into the darkness and casted a spell that lit the passage up. She walked through and motioned for them to follow

"I've gotta go lead the defence, see-ya Mev" Rdanaty said, leaving out the door

"I'll go prepare for a siege" Baralai left

"Ok, lets go, once we get outside, split, run in each and every direction, meet at the jewellery shop at 21:00 hours. Lets move"

15 minutes later

"My feet are tired"

"We all know that Selphie"

"Can we stop for a break?"

"No need, we're here, Now, on the count of three, run like the hells are opening underneath you, ready? 1, 2, 3 GO!" Everyone took off in different direction, Rinoa followed Squall and Selphie followed Irvine

'I thought I told them to go in different directions?' Meva thought as she ran, dodging trees and bushes, she ran toward her friends house and banged on the door, it opened to reveal a Bevellian soldier, her eyes widened and she turned to start running again but was caught by her wrist, she tried to kick him but he picked her up over his shoulder and carried her over to his ship that was concealed in the bushes.

Squall and Rinoa made it to the Jewellery shop three minutes after exiting the passageway. They stood out the front panting for a minute or two, and then Rinoa dragged Squall inside and she screamed

Irvine and Selphie arrived shortly after Rinoa and Squall and decided to take a walk around to see everything. The found a bar and went in to look at the menu, on the list was a variety of new foods

"Should we come here to eat Irvy?"

"Sure, why not?"

"Kay, whaddaya want?"

"I'll have the..."

They heard a scream

"What the hell was that!?"

Quistis ran, she didn't know where the hell she was 'why didn't I stick with the others?' she wandered through the streets, whip in hand, the roads were littered with boxes and junk, and it smelt really bad, there were drunks everywhere and all the buildings looked in dire need or repair, as she was about to turn around and leave a guy with a tail exited the pub. He looked around and frowned,. Then started running, Curious, Quistis ran after him. When he reached a fork in the road, he went left and called out, Quistis ran after and almost fell on top of him, he turned around in surprise and got into a battle stance, he pulled out two daggers and held them. Quistis stepped back and cracked her whip

"Zidane! Hurry up, Steiner was about to leave with out you!"

Zidane turned around and started running again, he turned the corner again and Quistis followed

"Why the hell are you following me!?" he called over his shoulder

"I'm lost!"

"Well following me isn't going to do much is it!?"

"At least you seem to know where you're going!"

"I do?"

"Yes!"

"okay then!"

he made another turn and a airship came into view, there was a girl in a pair of orange overalls standing on the deck

"Hurry up Zidane!"

"I'm coming Dagger! Start the ship!"

the girl disappeared inside and the ship started up. Quistis and Zidane jumped on as it took off. The girl on deck ran to Zidane and hugged him

"You were supposed to be back ages ago"

"Sorry Dagger, won't happen again"

"That's what you said in Treno!"

"But in Treno people weren't trying to kill me were they? And people didn't get lost and follow me back to the ship, did they?" he gestured to Quistis who was brushing herself off. Garnet walked to her and held out her hand to shake, Quistis took it.

"I'm Quistis Trepe, Instructor at Balamb Garden"

"Queen Garnet Til Alexandros the 17th"

Quistis looked Garnet up and down

"You don't look like a Queen"

she giggled

"I know, Beatrix would be so mad if she found out I was travelling again"

"I put her up to it, always do" Said Zidane puffing out his chest, Garnet patted him on the head

"Yes, you do, now, be a good King and get our guest some food"

"But-"

"Zidane"

"Yes Dagger"

"So, what is a King and Queen doing wandering around here? We haven't had them since 1342 in Alexandria"

"Yep, the very last King, our son Trydon!"

"How could you and him have a son and live in Alexandria?"

"Time Travel! Everyone uses it!"
