Chapter 8- A Battle Begins

"I really like you."
"You know that already?"
She nodded.
He looked weary, "I don't know what to say, it's fast I know, but..." They were interrupted by a crash coming from downstairs.
Ellone usually stayed in her room. On public dinners she found it cumbersome to move around, especially in her handicapped position.
It had happened when she was five, a brutal experiment that left her blind and in a wheelchair. Sometimes she would break down and cry for not being able to see or walk again, but today she was strong. Her power was to see the future and the past. She kept to herself in the little room, but when she heard the crash downstairs, she knew what was coming. She immediately pressed one button in the wall that locked up her room safely, and ensured no one could get in...she smiled, but had to warn the others.
Irvine already had his pistol out, but these animals were ferocious, they were ghastly, ugly things. He couldn't look at them for a long time, suddenly he felt something tingling in the back of his mind.
"Oh shit..." He thought as he felt some major power gathering.
Maeghan stiffened as soon as she heard a crash. She immediately cast out her mind to see if anything was wrong, but then she clipped on her weapons.
"C'mon Remus, it's time to fight."
Seifer was not graceful, yet he was skilled. He used his ability to stretch and harden his body parts...it was a lot like Zell's except Zell also had some other abilities.
Quistis summoned every piece of metal around her, and she started to heard the monsters into a metal cage, directing one to one part and another to another.
"Watch out for that guest!" Seifer cried.
"Chicken wuss, get all the people out of here!" He called to his friend.
Zell nodded, and started to push guests out of the way.
Selphie in the meantime was storing up her own power, she could manipulate the elements, fire, wind, water...earth.
She smirked as the earth under Quistis' cage opened up, and then the metal resurfaced as the earth closed.
That was when Squall leapt down from an upper floor gunblade in hand.
"Let's play." He grinned.
"I agree brother." Maeghan floated down beside him, displacing two monsters.
Maeghan was graceful when she fought, arching backwards. She looked at Selphie and then at Quistis. Rinoa was already a step ahead of her.
She and Rinoa both ran forward into the supporting hands of Quistis and Selphie that tossed them like human cannonballs. Maeghan quickly copied Selphie's power and made it her own, electrifying anyone around where she landed. Rinoa used a fragment of her full force, to blast anything out of the way.
Still more crept in.
"Maeghan!" Quistis got an idea, "Locate where they're coming from!" She called over the noise.
Maeghan nodded and found the source using her telepathy. She sent a lightning bolt at it, so the other could see it.
Selphie grinned and whispered something into Quistis' ear.
Quistis smiled as Maeghan was informed, along with Rinoa. They shared a grin.
The monster they were going after was ugly and hideous, oozing something gross.
"Hey you big ugly! Ya you! What your own stench making you squint." Maeghan called.
It grunted.
"Hey I'm talkin to you! What, you don't think I'm worth it?" Maeghan grinned.
"Fine then..." She opened her palm, then pointed her finger at the creature, causing it to have a severe mental pain.
It charged at Maeghan quickly, but was stopped, by a wall that enclosed in.
"Na na!" Maeghan taunted, as she and Rinoa closed a barrier around it.
Quistis then added all the metal in the room to coat the beast as it struggled against its confines.
Selphie finished it off by electrocuting the metal until the beast stopped struggling.
Maeghan nodded in affirmation that it was dead, as Selphie enclosed it in Earth...it headed for a quick and easy cremation at the world's core.
"You alright?" Quistis looked around
"I'm fine." Selphie stretched as the last of the creatures disappeared.
"I'll live." Rinoa decided after a moment's ponder.
Maeghan didn't respond. since she was out cold.
