Seifer's green eyes widened at Dante's panicked voice. "Not Laguna! Not Laguna! Some girl! I shot some girl!"
Seifer gasped loudly as he turned and ran from the noisy ballroom. He ran quickly down the rain soaked pathway and through the silent rose garden until he came to a small clearing. The sight before him made his heart skip a beat. There, on the cold ground in a pool of blood lay Quistis. Her blonde hair was soaked a dark crimson, and her cloak she had been wearing was hanging from her limp shoulders.
"Oh Hyne! Oh please No!" Seifer whispered, his voice quavering. He walked slowly up to Quistis and took her limp form into his arms. It appeared that she had been shot in the neck, and killed almost instantly. Tears welled in Seifer's green eyes. He looked into Quistis' beautiful face, and a few of his tears fell over her softly closed eyes.
"It can't be! How did this happen?!" Seifer held Quistis close to his chest and began to sob quietly. He didn't know what else to do. He was so shocked that things had turned out this way. He had killed the woman he loved.
Suddenly a voice behind him startled Seifer. "What the hell happened here! HOLY HYNE!"
Laguna had walked up, intent on meeting Quistis.
The sound of Laguna's voice was like a knife cutting into Seifer's soul. He glared up at Laguna, his emerald eyes blazing with hatred. "You Son of a Bitch! It was supposed to be you!" Seifer had lost it. He didn't care anymore. Quistis was dead. Seifer gently laid Quistis' body down on the bench, and quickly lunged at Laguna. He let out a cry of rage as he wrapped his hands around the smaller man's neck and squeezed as hard as he could. Laguna was so surprised at the sight of Quistis, and Seifer's words that he didn't have time to react to Seifer's vice-like grip on his neck.
Laguna was no slacker when it came to combat though, and he quickly regained his composure, and reached back and punched Seifer square in the jaw.
Seifer flew back with the force of Laguna's strong punch, and withdrew his Hyperion from his belt. "You'll regret ever doing that." Seifer said as he wiped a small trickle of blood from his lower lip.
Laguna, breathing heavily, glanced down at Quistis' body. "Stop this Seifer, we need to try and help Quistis. You are in trouble son…."
Seifer laughed maniacally. "Quistis is dead you fool! You should be the one laying there now! Not her!" Seifer cried out as he charged right toward Laguna, his Hyperion raised menacingly. "AARGH!"
Seifer reached Laguna and swung the gigantic weapon at Laguna's head. Laguna may have been older, but all those years in the Galbadian Army had taught him a few things. Just as Seifer's gunblade was about to make contact, Laguna dodged out of the way, and slipped behind Seifer, and kicked his legs out from under him. Seifer fell backwards and landed heavily on the ground.
"I am going to slice you up you bastard!" Seifer said, jumping up quickly and swinging his gunblade towards Laguna's mid-section.
Laguna jumped backwards just in time, but looked down to see his costume ripped in the middle, and he felt a small pain in his stomach. Seifer's gunblade had nicked the surface of his abdomen. He put his hand there, and brought it back up to see blood on his palm.
"Shit" he swore to himself as Seifer's tall figure approached him, the tip of his gunblade dripping blood.
Laguna stumbled backward, his hand clutching the searing wound in his stomach. "Seifer dammit! Stop this right now!" Seifer continued to advance on Laguna, a green fire burning in his glowing eyes.
"I'm going to kill you and bury your body where no one will find you!"
Seifer smiled wickedly as he lifted his huge weapon in the air. Laguna had no fight left in him. If he made one false move, the wound in his abdomen would open and his insides would spill out of him. Laguna stood up straight and bravely looked Seifer in the eyes. "If he is going to kill me, then so be it. I will not die a coward though."
Just as Seifer was about to lower the gunblade onto Laguna's head, a loud shot rang out. Suddenly Seifer's Hyperion flew from his hands and into a nearby rose bush.
Seifer cursed and fell backward with the force of the gun's blast. Through the shadows two figures emerged. One was a very angry looking Squall, the other was now a fully-clothed Irvine, who had expertly shot Seifer's gunblade out of his hand.
"Don't even think about moving an inch Seifer. I could kill you with one shot…" Irvine said menacingly. "I never did like you, so trust me it won't be too difficult."
Seifer spat some blood in Irvine's direction, but made no move to get up. Squall walked over to Laguna who had fallen at the sound of the gunshot, and helped him to his feet.
"Well you boys arrived right on time" Laguna said, wincing at the pain in his abdomen.
Squall glanced over towards Seifer, and caught a glimpse of Quistis lying on the bench a few feet from him.
"Oh Hyne….what the hell…" Squall said as he quickly ran to Quistis and lifted her limp form into his arms. "Quis! Quis!" Squall said quietly as he looked into her peaceful face. Irvine walked up slowly, his sights still focused on Seifer. "Squall, check her pulse, see if you feel anything."
Laguna walked slowly to Squall, tears forming in his eyes. "Squall, I am so sorry, I should've been there to protect her…I should've been there…" His voice trailed off as his tears started to flow freely.
Squall reached slowly down and pressed two of his fingers to Quistis' neck. He held them there for a few minutes before glancing quickly into Laguna's tear filled eyes…..
