Those Chosen By Fate Chapter II

"Ha ha ha ha ha," an unseen voice laughed mainiacly, "At last I have her within my grasp! A pity I had to bring those other six, a true pity that she will have to watch them die!" The voice continued to laugh completely ignorant that he had brought eight, not seven, souls across the divide.

Cloud blinked in surprise as a young man suddenly materialized in front of him.

He had short brown hair and blue eyes. He also had a scar between his eyes. On his belt hung an odd weapon that appeared to be a gun attached to a sword.

Squall blinked as the light vanished. He was no longer in Balamb Garden, he wasn't even sure if he was on the same world. Even the air was diferent, more poluted than any city he had been to, even the stale recycled air of Esthar's Space Station was better. There was a youn man in front of him, older than himself.

He had very spiky blonde hair and strange eyes that almost seemed to glow green. On his back was a huge sword, it looked as if it would be very heavy to lift.

It was then that Squall noticed something very odd, Bahamut and Quetzcotl were no longer in his mind. Even thought the two gaurdian forces didn't talk much he could always feel their presence in his mind. There was also something in his hand, he opened it ans several small colored orbs fell to the floor. Most were green, two were red.

Tifa was cleaning the tables of her new bar in Kalm when a flash of silver light appeared, it vannished as quickly as it had appeared. Where the light had been was a young man.

He had spiky blonde hair, blue eyes, and a black lightning bolt tatoo on the side of his face.

When the light was gone the first theing that Zell noticed was that the girl in front of him was not Amy.

She had long dark brown hair tied back in a ponytail and brown eyes. She was also older than him.

Suddenly Zell noiced Siren and Cactaur's silence. Siren may not have spoken much but she hummed...a lot. Once it had annoyed him so much he had traded her to Rinoa for the Brothers. He had soon traded back as he began to miss her music. Sacred and Minotaur's nonstop bickering had something to do with it as well.

Then he noticed that he was holding something in his hand. When he opened it several small colored orbs fell to the floor. Most were green, two were red.
