Author's note: So terribly sorry for not updating. I've just been so busy with building my homepage (do check it out! You must!) and with school and all.

Thanks for the reviews... 199, huh? Should I reward the one submitting the 200th review? :)

-Seifer's POV-

"What do you mean we have to jump aboard that thing?" I ask.

Doctor Odine nods. "Zat iz exactly vat I'm zaying."

Damn, it's nearly impossible to understand what he's saying...

"So where is it headed?" Quistis asks.

"To ze Tear'z Point."

"And that is...?"

"It iz ze place vere ze Lunar Cry vill hit."

Argh. What's with this guy?

"Lunar what?" Selphie shrieks. "Does the moon cry?"

"Yez, it does. Zmall monzterz gather togezer and fall down onto ze planet."

"And when does this happen?"

"How the hell are we supposed to get on board that thing?" I cut in. "It just passed."

"It vill come back."

"What?!" Selphie shrieks again.

The Doctor nodds and starts to walk around the room. "It vill pass ze city zree times. Zen it vill go to ze Tear'z Point."

"Where is that?"

"Zat iz not important. You vill enter ze Pandora."

"And do what?" Squall asks.

"Find out vat it iz zat it'z here for."

"How can we find it out? And where did that thing come from in the first place? It's like a mile tall, how did it stay hidden all this time? Is someone controlling it? Where?"

"Zlow down, young man. You vill find it all out ven ze right time comez."

-Edea's POV-

"Oh my zweet Hyne!"

"What is it?" I ask, turning to doctor Odine. What a strange little man he is. I doubt I will ever fully understand that collar....

"Zey are planning to releaze Adel!"

"Sorceress Adel?"

"Yez, yez...." The doctor starts pacing around the room, a troubled look on his face. "Ve muzt ztop zis. Abzolutely. At once. Immediately."

"But how?"

Oh my Hyne.... Is Sorceress Ultimecia planning to use Adel to take over the world? Their powers combined..... I don't even dare think of the consenquences. Or our future. Or the lack of it...

"Mrz Edea?"

I turn to Odine. "Yes, doctor?"

"Ze only way iz.... Vi muzt zend ze children off to zpace!"

"The... space?"

"Yez, yez, ze zpace indeed. Zee, zat iz vere Zorzerezz Adel iz zealed."

"Oh yes, that's right.... So... We have to send the children - my children - off to space to prevent her from being released?"

"Zat iz ze only way."

I nodd. "I will go find them then."

"Quistis?"

The young blonde turns to me, followed by all the other SeeDs.

"Matron? Do you know what's happening here?"

"I'm afraid, yes. Doctor Odine.... He said that they're planning to release Sorceress Adel."

"What? Are they crazy?!" Zell shouts.

"Who are they, exactly?" Seifer asks.

"Well, Sorceress Ultimecia, I would presume. And the Doctor also said, that the only way to prevent this from happening, is to... send you off to space."

"Woohoo!" Selphie says and jumps.

All the other children look at her and she looks embarrassed.

"What? I've always wanted to go to space."

"Selphie, this is a serious mission, it consernes the future of our planet and all the people. We won't have time for sight-seeing up there."

Seifer snorts. "What is there to see? Stars, and black. Whoa."

"Listen, children... The Doctor went to see sir Laguna, and is asking for a car. You will take it to the Lunar Gate, where you will be sent off to space. You will receive more detailed instructions once you reach the moon."

"The moon! Oh wow!" Selphie says and jumps again.

Again, all the others turn to look at her.

"Come on guys, let me find some good in all this, hm?"
