Thanks a lot for your reviews,my dear readers!Hehehehehe....really inspired
me to write more..ENJOY!
Chapter Fifty (Seifer's POV)
I paced around the room,worried.Seryn was at a corner,observing me,but I didn't notice her at all.I was too wrapped up in my thoughts.
~Damn,damn,damn....I need to find a way to get out....we're both gonna be dead in here....but how?~ I stopped at the door and listened carefully.There was no sound to be heard.Taking a deep breath,I placed my hands firmly onto the door knob(Or more like,handle...) and pulled with all my might.It didn't even budge.I tried pushing instead,but still,nothing happened.
"What the damn hell..." Vulgar words started dropping out from my mouth in a low tone.I completely forgot that Seryn was there with me and I jumped when her voice sounded behind me.
"What are you mumbling about?"
"Nothing...." I once more pushed and pulled at the door but was only rewarded with a bigger disappointment."Dammit!If only I had more magic...I've only got a Firaga here!" I complained,kicking myself for not stocking up when I was back in Balamb Garden.
"I've got one more Firaga and Thundaga here if you want..." stated Seryn unexpectedly.I arched an eyebrow at her and growled,"Why didn't you say so earlier?That could've saved us ages ago!"
"Well you didn't ask!" she shot back.
"Never mind," I said wearily,tired of arguing."Hey wait,if you've got those magic,why didn't you use them to break open the door when you were caught here?"
She blushed,hesitating."Umm,well...actually...I'm not a very good fighter...I don't really like using magic.."
~Huh...really....~
"Hey,what about you?" she demanded with dignity."You got a Firaga,you could've break down your own door too!"
"Ya think only a Firaga can destroy a door?Ahh,forget 'bout it.I'm gonna draw the magic from ya,okay?"
"Alright.But what're you going to do with all them?"
"Just see..." I drawed the Firaga and Thundaga from her and sighed in relief.~Oh yeah,Seifer Almasy's comin' out,baby!~
"What're you doing?"
"What else?I'm gonna use the magic to break down this door!Plus,if you don't know,I'm also gonna combine the two fire spells and make it stronger.I bet this door will be dust!"
"Oh..."
It took me a few minutes so complete my task of combining the two Firagas.Then I waved Seryn back,concentrated,and casted the Thundaga onto the door.It was a little damaged.I concentrated harder for a stronger spell,then casted the two remaining spells.The iron on the door slowly melted away and Seryn and I waited breathlessly.What it going to work...?
Summoning all my strength,I gave the door a mighty kick.I couldn't explain the jolts of pain and the impact that shot through from my leg to my body,but I forgot all about those feelings when I saw the door down on the floor.
"Heh...heh heh heh....." I started laughing softly by myself.Seryn gave me a weird stare as if I'd gone mad.I quickly stopped when I remembered another problem we both had.
We didn't have our weapons...
"Ahhhh,damn..." I gave Seryn the signal to be quiet and silently stepped out,looking around.Nobody was about.~Phew....~
"Quiet now," I whispered to Seryn.She nodded and followed me as I scouted around the area.After a few minutes,when I was almost about to lose my temper and patience,I suddenly spotted something in another room that made my eyes gleam in delight.
~Oh yeah!Hyperion!!~ I ran to my gunblade,which was hung onto the wall.I took it,rubbing my fingers lovingly on the smooth surface.Hyperion was my most treasuered asset...besides my pride,I must admit...
"Hey,how 'bout you?Where's your weapon?" I turned to a pink cheeked Seryn.She shrugged and replied,"Umm,I didn't take it with me..."
~Oh...she said she wasn't a really good fighter,didn't she?~ "Okay...stay...stay close to me then," I said,unsure.I noticed her eyes brightened up at my words and she nodded happily,causing me to remember our kiss in the other room.Rather hesitantly,I gave in to my heart and reached out for her hand,grasping it.She stared down,then at me.
"Stay close to me," I repeated.
Chapter Fifty One (Seryn's POV)
I couldn't imagine how in the wide world could Seifer Almasy act like that.Rinoa had told me plenty of times that he didn't care about anything else except things that interest him.So...that means...
~That means...he likes me too?!~ I couldn't help blushing a little as I followed him.We walked for what seemed like an eternity and then he stopped,looking a little impatient.
"Isn't there any way out of here?I'm surprised that there're no monsters here as well..."
"I kinda remember this place...we passed here when Xu brought us to the other room,right?" I countered.
"I guess," he muttered."Let's try this way." He pulled me down another hallway.It was then that we heard a voice shouting,"You!SeeDs,you will pay for what you've done!"
"Aha!" Seifer pounced onto a nearby door."That Zoan guy...and SeeDs,huh?That means our Puberty Boy Commander is already here...."
"Are we going in?"
"I'll go.I don't want you to get--"
"I'm coming with you," I cut in firmly.He studied me for a while before giving me a cocky grin.
"Gentleman first." He opened the door silently and we tiptoed in.It was quite dark where we were,but the wide room before us was lit brightly.I saw,to my joy,that Rinoa was there,along with the SeeD Commander and his other friends.Xu was standing with another man I could vaguely recognise as a student from Garden,Nida-something.
"Who's gonna pay now,huh?" Seifer said cockily,his gunblade raised.I heard the others there gasp in shock and surprise.
"Seifer!!" They,with the exception of the Commander,squealed.
"And Seryn?!" Rinoa added,her eyes as wide as saucers.I gave her a weak wave of the hand and mouthed out 'I'm safe'.
"Ya can't have all the fun for yourself,Puberty Boy,so I decided to spoil it a little." Seifer pointed his gunblade at the Nida and Xu.Both of them were plainly horrified when they saw us.
"Whatever," I heard the Commander mutter.
"Xu!How did they get out?!" I was surprised when I heard Nida's voice.It wasn't his at all.He sounded...evil...and sinister...
"Master...I....I..I don't know..." stammered the pale and terrified Xu.
"Didn't I say,should you fail,you would be--"
"Ahhh,save your speech for later,Sorceror," interrupted Seifer."That's if,there IS a later...'cuz here's one for ya now!" In a swift movement,he ran to Zoan(who,I assumed,was inside Nida's body)and swung his gunblade down in attempt to injure him,but before his weapon could even touch anything,a fire spell was casted on him.He fell back with a grunt.
"Hahaha!You want to kill me with your pathetic weapons?You must be joking..." sneered Zoan with a laugh.Then his eyes gleamed dangerously."I'll let my little pets deal with you!Drac!!Xiphos!!Camlot!!Come to me!!"
The sound of feet(or paws..)clicking on the stone floor thundered throughout the room.The two other huge doors at the end of the room flew open as three wicked looking and extremely weird monsters appeared,snarling and growling.I could identify them,one as a bigger-than-usual-Grendel,one more a Blue Dragon...or more like,a Bluish-Green Dragon,and the last one,one of the strongest and hardest monsters ever lived on the planet,a really HUGE Ruby Dragon,which roar could even cause me to feel the vibration through the floor.
~Uh-oh.....~
Chapter Fifty Two (Squall's POV)
"WHOA!!" Zell exclaimed in shock."It's really big!!"
"I didn't know Ruby Dragons could grow THAT large!" Selphie said.
"Rinoa,stay behind me." I turned to her in concern and she nodded.
"Be careful," she reminded.I returned her nod with one of my own and raised Lionheart,preparing for battle.A noise was heard beside me and when I turned,I scowled,seeing that it was Seifer with a cocky smile on his lips.
"Don't want Puberty Boy getting injured,you know..." he remarked.
"Shut up," I growled.
"There's no time for arguing,guys!!" squealed Selphie as the Grendel,known as Drac,clawed out at her but she evaded."Squall!!"
I didn't say anything,just rushed to the monster and slashed at it,pleased when blood gushed out from the cut and it roared in pain.Seifer,not to be outdone,gave it another slash and it countered with its tail blade.
"Damn!" Seifer clutched his wound.Although I didn't want to,I grudgingly casted a Cura on him.He said nothing but gave me a thankful nod.
"Woow...woow,WOOW!!!" Zell screamed as the Ruby Dragon swung its tail out at us.The other dragon inflicted poison to Irvine and Selphie immediately threw him an Antidote.He grinned at her,saying,"Thanks,Sefie!"
"Tee hee!I don't want my cowboy dying out here!" Selphie jumped aroung gleefully.I didn't know how she could still be so happy when we were in such a condition,but I had no time to think about it.The Drac was about to attack me when an Ultima and a Holy were casted on it,inflicting plenty of damage and finishing it off.I turned to Rinoa and gave her a small thankful smile,knowing that she was the one who used the magic.
"Zell,look out!" Quistis suddenly yelled.The Blue Dragon,Xiphos,flipped its tail towards Zell,who was too slow to evade.He fell flat onto the floor and jumped up immediately,looking furious.
"Okay,now I'm really mad!" He clenched his fists,preparing for Duel.Then he rushed to Xiphos and cascaded a Punch Rush on it,followed by a Mach Kick,a Dolphin Blow,and lastly,Different Beat."Oh yeah,baby!!" Zell said as he kicked the dragon into the air and rained one last strong kick on it to bring it down.Seeing that the dragon was already weak,Quistis summoned Shiva and the critter was dead in no time.
~Okay....now for the Ruby Dragon....~
But....
"AHH!!Squall,help me!!!" A dagger stabbed my heart as Rinoa's voice rang in alarm.I turned at once to find Xu pulling her away,disappearing with Zoan behind a door.I could have killed myself for leaving her alone even for a moment.Why didn't I keep her protected and look out for any funny ideas from Xu or Zoan?!
"Rinoa!Dammit!!" I ran to the closed door,but stopped when I remembered my comrades.I couldn't leave them to fight the Ruby Dragon alone.Ruby Dragons were powerful,and this one didn't seem like it would die easily.
~Oh God!What am I gonna do?!~
However,Quistis decided for me."Squall,go save Rinoa!We'll handle this!" she called out.Selphie casted a Blizzaga on the Ruby Dragon and backed her up,"Yeah,Squall!Go!!We'll catch up with you when this guys's dead!!"
I nodded and ran to the door before suddenly remembering Griever's words.
*When evil claims the Angel,the Lionhearted and Crossfated shall be one....*
~Seifer...~ I turned back to my comrades (for once,with Seifer as well...) and said,"Guys!I need Seifer with me!"
He looked at me as if the sky was going to drop down.My comrades gaped and stared at me as well.
"WHAT?!" Selphie squeaked.
"Squall,you mad or--" began Zell but I interrupted him.
"I need him to fight Zoan with me.Griever told me that I alone can't defeat him.Guys,please!"
"Seifer,get outta here!" Quistis commanded,catching my drift.
"Huh,Puberty Boy needing my help?This is a--"
"SEIFER,GO!!!" Quistis practically screamed her lungs out."Rinoa might die!!"
"Seifer," Seryn said urgently.He looked at her and surprisingly,as I've never seen Seifer Almasy obeying or taking concern about a girl before,he nodded and assured her,"I'll be back.Be careful and stay with them,okay?"
~Whoa....whatever...~ "Dammit,Seifer,come on!" I tried to open the door but it was locked.Impatient and angry,I casted Flare on it,breaking it down.A lighted hallway leading down to somewhere else was before me and I wasted no time thinking of anything else.As I ran down some stairs there,Seifer followed me,muttering something under his breath.We came to a fork soon and I was devastated.Which way should I follow?I didn't have time to check both!
*The left one,Leonhart....the left...* A sudden voice rang in my mind.I silently thanked Griever and made my way to the left path,down another flight of stairs,praying in my heart and head.
~Hang on,Rinoa...just hang on.....~
Yeah,and Hang On readers!!HAHAHAHAHA!!MAN,I'M SO DAMN MEAN!!!
