Author's note: Well, everybody seemed to find the end of the last chap particularly funny :)
to Angel of pure darkness : We'll get there! I promise! There's a Sorceress to kill before that!
to Iskander : Play the game if you wanna see fights :) You got any idea how hard (not to mention boring) it is to write and read described fights? Ugh, I dunno if Roos having a crush on SxS would be ugh... sane.
to Shadow-Seraph : Ugh... right. Cool. Glad you're still reading the story anyways :)
to Lizzie : Ugh... no. No Masamune. And no, no lightsabres either. Sorry, hun.
to Firefly-Dreams : I know, computers suck, mine freezes like very ten minutes. Well, nice you're having fun there :)
And finally,
to Greyon Hell : Well yeah, Roos has taken Seifer's place as the Knight, but other than that, he's his totally own character and Seifer is Seifer. Thankies, and here's the next chapter then:
-Seifer's POV-
We take out the soldiers quickly, only to find out that Roos has ran away, again.
"Where the fuck d'he go now?"
"Probably to the Sorceress," Zell says.
"And where the fuck's she then?"
Zell shrugs. "Dunno."
I sigh. "Let's search the whole Garden."
"Shall we split up?"
"No, stupid chickie. If one of us finds her, she'll kill him by the time the rest of us get there."
"Fine! But it'll take us a million years to search the whole place!"
"Ugh, guys?" Squall says. "Maybe we should try and think of the place that she most probably will be in. Like ugh.. the HeadMaster's room."
"Cool. Now where's that?"
"Maybe the main hall has an info board..."
"Top floor, end of the hall!" Zell shouts and bounces up for some reason. "Let's go!"
But before we get anywhere, we hear a low growl.
"Holy Hyne, what is that?!" Zell shrieks.
"It's GF Cerberus," Squall says.
"GF? Can it fight if it isn't junctioned?"
"Of course it can, that's how I got Ifrit," I say.
"Well bring it on then!"
The problem is not defeating the huge dog, the problem is deciding who gets to junction it.
"Come on guys, I only got Pandemona!" Zell says. "It doesn't even fight!"
"Neither does Cerberus, Zell."
"What?!" he turns to Squall. "Whaddaya mean? A big mean thing like that and it doesn't even fight?"
"Alright, chickie can junction the damn mutt if we can just get on and find the Sorceress!" I say.
"But if it doesn't even fight, I don't think I---"
"You juntion it or I'll shove it down your throat!!"
Zell pulls back a little. "Fine, man, I'll junction it."
"Good. Now, we can continue the Sorceress hunt, neh?"
We have to fight several SeeDs and soldiers to get to the third floor. Even some monsters. How can they live in a place like this?
"That must be it."
I bump into Squall's back. I look over his shoulder and see a gaudy door. "That's where she is?"
"That's the HeadMaster's room," Squall says.
Zell's already at the door. "Come on guys."
"You think Roos's in there?" I ask Squall.
He shrugs. "He must be."
Zell turns to us. "It's locked, guys."
"Well duh. You think she's just waiting for the SeeDs to march in and kick her ass?"
"I do believe she's waiting for us," Squall says. "Or at least someone from B-Garden."
Zell's kicking the door. "It's steel."
Suddenly the door opens. Roos is standing on the doorway, holding his sword and grinning.
"Come on in, SeeDs. My Sorceress is waiting for you."
"See?" Squall says as he walks past me into the room.
The room is big, dark and mystic. The Sorceress is laying on a bed of somesort. Roos walks up to her, they talk briefly in low voices, and then he turns to us.
"She says she will not talk with you. You must die."
"And that's for you to carry out, huh?" I ask.
"I know you don't believe in my skills, Almasy, but I'll show you."
"Yeah, like you did at Balamb Hotel when it only took two of us to beat you?"
"That was then," he says, shrugging. "Can't a guy develop himself?"
"Enough with the ramble, let's get on with it!" Zell says.
Roos raises his sword and takes a fighting stance. "Bring it on, SeeDs."
As we've fought him for a while (he really has gotten a little better, but he's still no match to us), it starts to be obvious that there's no way he's winning this battle. With all my focus on the fighting, I barely notice that the Sorceress is not on her bed anymore. I glance around briefly, and see her sliding thru the floor!
"Guys! The Sorceress! She's getting away!"
Zell and Squall glance around too, but she's gone already.
"Where the hell d'she go?!" Zell asks and delivers Roos another combo of punches and kicks.
"This is taking too long," I say and slash Roos in the stomach. That's the last hit he can take, and he falls onto the floor.
"What's below this room?" Zell asks, panting.
Roos is laying still on the floor, not making a sound.
"Lapdog! I'm talking to ya! What's below this room?!"
He starts laughing, very quietly.
"We don't need him, we can find it out for ourselves," Squall says and leaves.
"Shouldn't we finish him off?" Zell asks, looking kinda confused.
