Chapter Fourteen (Seifer's POV)
The room I was in was dark and cold.I tried to move my limbs,but found out I was chained to the wall.I wanted to cast some magic,then realised that absolutely nothing was junctioned to me.I hung my head down,cursing.
~What the hell is going on?!~
"Seifer...." I heard a hissing voice.Looking up,I scanned the dark room,but couldn't see anything.
"What the heck do you want?!" I shouted.Then I felt something cold and soft touching my arm,but when I looked,nothing was there.
"Child,do not fret over your condition...." came the voice again.
"What's all this about?!What the hell is going on?!"
"You're going to be a hero...."
~A hero...~ What did that mean?Was I going to be forced to kill another person?I recalled back what had happened the day I injured Rinoa.I never wanted to hurt her,and it pained me so much to hear her scream out when I brought Hyperion down at her.But that was all against my will,some one was controlling me.I prayed that she would understand,knowing her Sorceress powers allows her to sense plenty of things.
"What're you talking about?!" I yelled.
There was a laugh."You'll understand,'lil boy....sometime...."
"You better tell me what this is all about or you'll be sorry!!"
"Oh really?How interesting....but I think YOU will be the one being sorry for that..." Almost at once,I felt a sharp pain searing through my head.I cried out and tried to clutch my head but my hands were held back my the chains.Feeling my head was going to burst,I squeezed my eyes shut,but to my relieve,the pain melted away slowly.
"Anymore to say,Almasy?"
Breathing fast,I just gritted my teeth and said nothing.
"Now let's see....what else can you do?How about eliminating President Loire of Esthar in your body?"
~No.....no more!!~ I wanted to scream out loud at the voice,but I just kept quiet.
"Or how about demolishing the whole of Balamb Garden...." It was a statement,not a question.
~No..............~
Chapter Fifteen (Rinoa's POV)
I paced around the Ragnarok Meeting Room nervously.Why did Laguna want to see specifically Squall and me?Dr.Odine wasn't planning something,was he?I hated any tests or examinations on me,and that irritating Dr.Odine could get a little turned on too.~I don't care....if he wants to do something to me,Squall will have to be with me....~
"I wonder why he wants to see us?" Zell scratched his head."Something important,eh?"
"Whatever...." Squall muttered.I knew he was still sore about Laguna being his father and all that.I rubbed sweaty palms together and continued pacing.
"Rinoa,sit down," Quistis said at last."You don't need to be so anxious."
"But what if Dr.Odine has some sort of plan?He may take me to outer space or maybe even wanna see if my pow--" I started.
"I'll kill him," Squall said through gritted teeth."I'll rip his head off and --"
"Whoa,don't need to be that violent,eh,Squall?" Zell began 'swatting flies',as Seifer always called it.I crossed my arms and stared out at the dark blue ocean beneath us.
"Rinoa...." Quistis said wearily.I turned to her and sighed.
"Oh alright." I walked to the seat beside Squall and sat down.He patted my hand gently and gave me a slight smile.I just replied with a watery one.
Minutes passed in silence.
"Tee hee!We're here,guys!" Selphie's voice came over the speakers.I looked out and saw the huge Esthar City around us.I was a little surprised that I didn't notice before,but maybe I was too anxious....
"Come on." Squall took my hand and all of us walked out of the Ragnarok after the spaceship landed safely.Kiros and Ellone were there to greet us.
"Hello,my friends.It's been a long time," Kiros said with a salute.The others saluted back to him and gave Ellone a hug.
"Hey,Sis," Zell said.
"Hello,everyone.Hi,Rinoa." She gave me a sweet smile.
"Hey," I replied without enthusiasm.
"Oh,are you worried Dr.Odine is gonna do something to you?It's alright,he won't or Uncle Laguna will really make him sorry," assured Ellone.I was beginning to feel that nothing was going to happen after all.
"Please,this way." Kiros gestured towards a vehicle nearby.We got in and were at the Presidential Palace in no time.Ward,Laguna,Dr.Odine,and another short man kind of like the doctor himself were there.Laguna greeted us with a huge smile on his face,though Squall still had his usual expression.To my dismay,I saw Dr.Odine rushing towards me in glee.
"Sorceress Rinoa!You are here!" he cried.I backed away and Squall immediately stepped in,taking out Lionheart.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" he demanded coldly.
"Odine,get back.Sorry,Squall,Rinoa,he's been a little.....fidgety about this," Laguna apologised.Dr.Odine muttered something and crossed his arms with a huff.
"So,what's this all 'bout?" Squall got to the point.I knew he hated beating aroung the bush.Laguna scratched his head and nodded to Dr.Odine.
"Odine,tell 'em."
"Ahem," the doctor cleared his throat and tweaked his little moustache."First,I vould like you to meet my cousin,ze great Professor Vine." He waved at the other man,who approached us.He had a moustache like Dr.Odine,but wiser eyes and didn't seem such a jerk.I didn't know whether his name was 'Wine' or 'Vine',knowing the doctor's bad pronounciations.
"Greeting,Sorceress," Vine's voice was deeper than his cousin's.He gave a bow,then turned to the others."And zis are SeeDs?"
~Both bad pronounciations,huh?~
"Ah,yes.Professor Vine specializes in the study of vitch craft and sorcery.You vill not believe it,but last year,he zid somezhing on--" began Dr.Odine in his usual bragging manner,but Irvine interrupted rudely.
"So we came here to hear about with craft and sorcery?What is this,some Magic Class?"
Dr.Odine snorted,but Prof.Vine seemed undisturbed.Squall waved his hand impatiently.
"Well?"
"To my Laboratory," answered Dr.Odine.
**************
"I have zome bad news for you all," announced the doctor,but he sounded as if it was good news instead.
"How bad?" asked Zell.
"That's up to you to decide." Dr.Odine nodded at Prof.Vine."Vine,start."
"As my cousin haz just mentioned,I study witch craft and sorcery.Recently,I stumbled upon an old ring belonging to Sorceror Zoan.I took ze ring back to study it,but somezhing bad happened..." The professor made a sad clicking noise with his tongue."Yes,somezhing very bad...."
"What?" asked Squall impatiently.
"Little zid I know zat ze ring contained Zoan's spirit,and vhile I was studying it,I released him," replied Prof.Vine,talking as if nothing happened at all.
"So what?He's just a Sorceror..." Selphie said with a yawn.
"Ah,not zust any Sorceror,girl.He vaz ze most evil and powerful Sorceror of the 25th Century.He vaz ze Sorceror who first caused Galbadia and Esthar to have a war against each ozher,and he vaz ze Sorceror who first mastered ze evil and forbidden Guarzian Force,Hixon,zhen used it to try and control ze world."
Prof. Vine rubbed his chin thoughtfully."Now,zho you think he's 'just a Sorceror'?"
"Hey,wait,how did he die,then?You said his spirit was in the ring...." Quistis wondered.
"Ze legendary Guarzian Force,Griever,perished Hixon and also Zoan,but Zoan,he waz cunning,he locked his spirit in a ring,hoping it vould be released somezay."
~The legendary Guardian Force?Isn't Griever....Squall's....~ I blinked and turned to him.He was also looking a little surprised.
"You said Griever....what do you mean,legendary Guardian Force?" Squall asked.
"Hmmph,like I said,it iz ze legendary Guarzian Force.I zo not unzerstand vat you mean..." Vine replied.
"What 'bout this Griever?Tell me," demanded Squall.Vine stared at him in astonishment and started tweaking his moustache like Odine did.I noticed that his eyes were locked to the Griever necklace at Squall's neck.
"Hmmm.....I just vonder...are you the Chosen One?" he said softly.
Chapter Sixteen (????'s POV)---sorry,can't give the game away....
I cautiously made sure nobody was around the dormitories and hurried into my room,locking the door.I walked to my bed,took out a small bowl,and filled it with some liquid from a bottle.Sprinkling some Tonberry dust in,I closed my eyes and chanted some words.
A wisp of smoke appeared.I bowed and greeted,"Master..."
"You have done well...much better than that Almasy guy...."
"What should I do know,Master?" I asked humbly.
"The Sorceress and SeeDs are in Esthar.In no time,they will know about me,and I'm sure they will try to summon Griever...."
"What can I do,Master?Please,tell me...."
"You will help me find the things and sacrifices I need to call upon Hixon once more.Leave nothing,or you will face the consequences.Do you understand?"
I bowed again."Yes,Master.I will do anything you say."
"Good..."
TO BE CONTINUED....
It's lame!!I know it!!But I'll see if my mood's back and maybe I'll do a little changes!!I'm still playing the hell outta FFX!!!
