-Seifer's POV-
Thru the door we find a huge throne room. With of course a huge throne and............. the most evil of all evil. The greatest Sorceress ever. The one who's tormented us. Ultimecia.
"SeeD...." she says in a horrible voice. "SeeD... SeeD, SeeD, SeeD. Swarming like lokusts akross generations. You disgust me."
We glance at each other.
"The world was on the brink of that ever-elusive 'time kompression'. Insolent fools! Your vain krusade ends here, SeeDs. The price for your meddling is death beyond death. I shall send you to a dimension beyond your imagination. There, I will reign, and you will be my slaves for eternity."
And then she laughs. The laughter of that weird Sorceress we encountered in the Time Compression was nothing compared to this. It fills my head, it fills the air around us, it seems to go on and on and on and never stop...
"Almasy. Kinneas. Trepe. You will go down first."
So we fight her. It's hard of course, but apparently not impossible. Irvine doesn't last that long, and Squall rushes in to fill for him. And so the fight continues until she seems.... to be losing?
"The most powerful GF...." she says. "You.... shall.... SUFFER!" And then she laughs again.
A creature appears. I can't help but think it looks somewhat familiar...
"The GF's true power.... Allow me... To show you...! Griever! Make them bleed!"
We glance at each other, and especially at Squall. Griever? How can there be an actual, carnated Griever? I thought he just existed in Squall's mind?
The ultimate GF uses more powerful attacks than Ultimecia, but eventually we seem to be winning.
"I shall junction myself.... Unto Griever!"
And then she morphs into the GF. Crazy bitch....
Despite the dramatic looks of the couple, we're doing quite well. Squall's Limit Breaks are of course helping out a lot. And then.... There's stars behind them. They seem to be.. parting? Is it... over?
"Guys? Are you alright?" Quistis pants.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I say and turn to Squall. He's on his knees, so I cure him. And turn back to Ultimecia just in time to see the most horrible creature ever. It doesn't even have a face.
"I am Ultimecia... Time shall kompress... All existence denied."
The true Ultimecia? Have to say, the first one was prettier.
-Squall's POV-
It's..... it's snowing?
Everything turns.... white. Where am I? That's Irvine..
"Is it over? Can we go home?" he asks.
Selphie runs past me and Irvine disappears into the background. "Guys! Let's go home! Just think of Edea's house!"
Seifer. Where's Seifer?
Someone's running towards me... It's a child. It's... it's me.
"I will find Sis!" he says. Or I say.
I'm suddenly at Edea's orphanage. There's Matron!
She walks up to me. "Did you see a little boy running here?"
"Matron, it's me."
She tilts her head and smiles in a confused way. "I'm sorry?"
"I'm a SeeD from Garden."
"SeeD? Garden?"
"Both were your ideas! You started Gardens to train SeeDs to fight against evil Sorceresses."
She's still smiling confusedly.
"He went--- Watch out," I say and draw Lion Heart as something starts happening ahead.
It's Ultimecia! She's here!
"I killed you!" I say to her.
"Not... yet.."
Matron walks towards her, then turns to me. "In order to die in peace, a Sorceress must be free of all her powers. I know.... for I am one too. I shall take over that Sorceress's powers. I do not want one of you children to become one."
Rays of purple light shoot from Ultimecia to Matron, who collapses while the first one slowly fades and disappears. I run to Matron and kneel down to her.
"Matron, are you alright?"
And then I run back. The little me does.
"Matron, I can't find Sis!"
"It's okay, Squall, we'll go find Sis together," Matron says, slowly standing up. She turns to me. "You're that... boy from the future? Please return. You do not belong here. Do you know where to go back to? Do oyu know how?"
"I must think of a place.... Where I wanna be."
Where do I wanna be? With my friends, that's how we agreed. Where? In Garden? In Edea's house? But I don't wanna be there, not with them, but with.... Seifer.
-Seifer's POV-
Where did we promise to meet? In the Garden? But Irvine's never been to Balamb Garden, has he? I can't remember... Whatta--- little Squall?
He runs past me and disappears, like everyone else has already done.
We didn't agree on a place, did we? Does it really matter anyway, I don't wanna be where they are, not with them, I wanna be... with Squall.
What's the most familiar place to us? I chuckle to myself. My dorm, of course. The bed, to be exact. I wanna be there, the best place of all....
-Squall's POV-
I must've passed out... I open my eyes to look around and I see... Seifer. Sleeping. Next to me. I glance around. We're in his dorm. Just like I wanted to. I lay my head back down and drift to sleep.
