Author's note: Alright, this is finally where the action starts taking place.
Thanks for reviews, altho I couldn't make anything out of Jessibra's [I dunno anyone called Lucyannah]. Where's PistGurl? She didn't review ch 08.
Well anyways, I want more reviews for this chap or it will be the last one. Damn, I'm mean. =)
-Squall's POV-
It's 18.58. Two minutes and we'll see the Sorceress. The crowd's getting excited. Actually, it's been excited for quite a while now. Can't say I'm not. Basically we're just gonna take a quick glance at our new leader and then BOOM. Well, if Irvine's using a silencer which he probably is, it'll be more like.. There's no word for that sound. Anyways. It just seems a bit cruel.
"Hey, am I late?"
I look over my shoulder at the panting Langh behind me and Seifer. "No, you're just in time."
Now she's leaning on Seifer for support. She has her hand on his shoulder! That little---
"Langh," Seifer says and takes her hand off. "Concentrate. The Sorceress is about to step up."
Langh pouts, but keeps her hands off him.
The crowd explodes with a cheer. We look up and see motion on the stage. The Sorceress...
It's horrible. It's all very horrible. Everything's gone wrong. Oh Hyne.
At the moment we're on the top floor of the gateway. Me and Langh. Seifer might be dead. Quistis and Irvine are at the Carousel Clock. Selphie's been kidnapped by the Sorceress. Laxell and Zell are trying to save her from the Iguions.
At first it went like planned: we listened to some of the speech[it was horrible, she just kept mocking us], then when it was about fifteen minutes to the beginning of the Parade, we left for the gateway.
We arrived at the gateway. Then we heard noises from the Presidential Residence. Langh has binoculars with her, so we took a look. Selphie. She had run there, on the roof of the Presidential Residence. The Sorceress hypnotized her and after her speech, she resurrected the huge ornaments on the gateway, the Iguions.
When the Iguions came alive, we tried to stop them. Seifer slashed the other one with his gunblade, which apparently got stuck and now he's lying under the gateway, bleeding.
Something's wrong at the Carousel Clock, too. I can only see Quistis, who looks worried. Has Irvine chickened out and left?
There comes the Parade float. The Sorceress is sitting on her throne, with her Knight standing in front of her, looking oh-so-proud.
"We have to go get Seifer!" Langh shrieks.
"I know! But the Parade---"
"Screw the Parade!" She's almost crying now. "Give me your gunblade!"
"What?! No!"
She sighs. "Listen Squall. I'm too weak to carry him anywhere, but I can shoot. So if I can have your gunblade for a few seconds, I'll shoot at the Parade float so that they'll get messed up and in the best case, stop for a second. Then you'll have time to move Seifer."
I hesitate. She makes sense. Why didn't I think of that? Because the ideal plan does /not/ include giving my gunblade to a fragile teenage girl. Shut up Leonhart! Seifer's life's on the line! Move your sorry ass!
