Chapter 12
"This place really isn't that bad, I just wish they had food around here." Complained Selphie as she sit on the couch. Rinoa decided to explain to them what was going on, she couldn't keep it to herself any longer.
"Selphie, Quistis I have some bad news that you might want to here." Rinoa started.
"What?" Quistis asked as she sat down on the bed.
"Well, the reason why we are here is because...Cid needs a wife so that he can bear a child. He wanted to choose a woman that was really special. So he took the best ones from each dimension. Which I'm flattered that I'm one of them, but he will force one of us to marry him. We will have to bear his child, and the birth will be fatal." Explained Rinoa.
"I ain't going with that raisin!" Selphie exclaimed.
"I sure as hell ain't either." Quistis stated.
"Well, I thought we might look really hard for a way out of this room." Said Rinoa, as she got up looking for something that looked like it might be an escape route.
"Well, let's look around. If we escape, I want to find the other women that are here. I don't want anybody to be stuck with that old creep." Selphie confirmed. The three of them started looking around, there was a door on the west side of the room. But it was locked. Selphie banged on it, just then she heard a voice from the other side.
"Hey, open the door!" She yelled.
"It's locked, and it won't budge." Said a quiet voice from the other side. Quistis went over to examine the door, then she realized it was a trick door.
"Both of you turn the knob in opposite directions." Quistis ordered. Selphie and the other person seemed to be messing with it, after a few seconds of furiously turning the knob the door cracked open. One the other side was three young women. One with a white top, and half of a blue skirt. One with a yellow top, and a yellow thong showing. The other had platinum hair, and black clothes.
"I'm Yuna, and this is Rikku and Paine." Said the one in the white top.
"Well, I'm Selphie, and that is Quistis, and this is Rinoa." Selphie greeted.
"Enough chit chat, let's find a way out of this place." Paine said. They all nodded, but realized all they had accomplished was getting into another locked room.
"Maybe every room works this way!" Selphie yelled. They proceed into the next room by using the trick. Inside were three more women. One with semi long black hair, another had blue hair and what seemed to be a small horn. The other had armor on.
"Ugh hi..." Said the one in armor. They all introduced each other again, then went for the next door. Inside the next room was two women, one with huge breast and a white top, the other dressed like a ninja. After another short introduction, they all realized that they still had to get out of this place.
"I bet there is a secret wall somewhere, and a switch to it." Tifa retorted. Yuffie quickly darted off looking for something that might trigger a wall movement. The rest of them slowly searched through each room.
"I found something!!!" Yuffie screamed. Just then a hatch opened when she moved an odd book from a bookshelf. They all stared down, and it was nothing but darkness.
"We going to jump down there Yunie?" Rikku asked.
"Well, it's probably the only way out of here." Yuna responded as she jumped in. After a few seconds they heard a splash.
"You all right down there!?" Paine yelled. A weak answer echoed back up.
"Yeah, it's kinda chilly, but it's alright to jump." Yuna replied. Paine quickly followed in, then Rikku...they continued in single file. Once they were all down there something made a low growl. Just then a giant croc jumped out of the water.
"I'll take care of it." Paine said, as she took out her sword. The croc was snapping furiously in every direction, Paine needed to find a way to get close to it. Just then, a gunshot went off. Yuna had shot its left eye out. As it charged for Yuna, Paine jumped on its back and plunged her sword through its back bone.
"Phew that was a close one." Yuna sighed. Paine nodded, and they continued down the long water filled hall. As they came to an end, they realized it was a moat surrounding the fortress. Paine climbed up the side.
"Hey they're here!" She yelled back down to them. They rushed out of the moat, and a few yards away the gang of warriors sat. Rikku ran straight to Gippal, who was surprised to have her wrap around him.
"Gippal, I missed ya, you big jerk!" Rikku yelled.
"Hey calm down, I was going to come in there and bust you out." Gippal responded.
"Well, I got tired of waiting so I just got myself out." Rikku answered, as her and Gippal were locked into a tight hug. Just then all the other guys noticed that all the women had escaped on there own. Tifa ran up to Cloud.
"Cloud...I'm so glad to see you." Tifa said cheeringly.
"Me too..." Cloud answered back. Just then Tidus stepped out of the crowd. Yuna wasn't sure if it was him. He saw her and walked toward her.
"Yuna...I'm back again." Tidus said, as he put his arm around her.
"I thought you died." Yuna cried, as tears ran down her cheeks.
"I did, after I killed your uncle Cid...Brother went crazy and crashed the ship with me on it. But not even the laws of the Farplane were able to keep me from coming back to you." Tidus explained.
"Promise me you won't leave anymore..." Yuna pleaded.
"I promise, this time I'm here to stay." Tidus swore. Meanwhile Rinoa was afraid to go to Squall. Squall looked over at her, and she quickly looked away from him. He slowly strolled over next to her.
"Look Rinoa, I guess I said some things that I shouldn't have."
"I understand Squall. I forced you to change into what you really wasn't. I made you become something that wasn't you. Forgive me..."
"Rinoa, you didn't force me to do anything. I changed myself, and I was angry for losing. I guess I'm nothing but a big baby. It's me who should be asking your forgiveness. I'm sorry..." Squall apologized for the first time. Rinoa couldn't believe what she had just heard. She felt closer to him than she had ever felt.
"Kids..." Snorted Sephiroth.
"Yeah, young love was fun. I remember when I use to have feelings like that for Cloud." Aeris sighed.
"And now?" Sephiroth questioned.
"Well, no. But he is still a close friend of mine. Anyways, doesn't Link look a little down?" She asked, pointing over towards Link. Link was sitting on a rock, staring at the grass. "I think you should go talk to him." Aeris requested.
"Me? What the hell should I say? He knows Zelda is probably dead right now, don't you think he is grown up enough to handle his own problems?" Blurted Sephiroth.
"Well, look at him. I would like to see you console somebody. Cmon, just do it." Aeris started to make her sad face again.
"FINE!" Sephiroth yelled, as he walked over to Link.
"What do you want?" Link asked in a low voice.
"Just to talk to ya. So uhh...whats on your mind, how ya feeling." Sephiroth questioned.
"Well, I failed Hyrule. And since ya want to know I'll tell ya. I feel like shit." Link answered.
"How did you fail Hyrule, is everything in that place your responsibility? And why do you think she is dead. I mean he might not have killed her yet." Sephiroth replied.
"Well, he said he would and I didn't even try to stop him. We are still going in there to fight him aren't we?" Link asked.
"Yeah, I am...now that everybody is happy again, I don't know what they will do though." Sephiroth answered. "Think of it like this, when you fight. Don't fight for revenge, fight to save her. Trust me, it is foolish to attack in rage." Sephiroth consoled, he got up and left the young man to contemplate alone. As he stepped back over to Aeris, Auron started to get down to business.
"Everybody, may I have your attention. We need to decide whether or not to finish Cid and his army or not. We shall vote on the matter, I shall not vote but I will give you personal opinion on the matter. I say we take his army, cmon people we have more support now. If we let him live, he will just go after them again, so come on are you with me?!!!" Auron yelled with a lot of feeling.
"I am!" Squall answered.
"Me too!" Rinoa yelled afterwards.
"That son of a bitch is going down!" Link yelled.
"We're going too." Sephiroth and Aeris yelled.
"Don't forget you will need my help." Gippal said.
"Show off, I won't let you fight alone." Rikku hollered.
"And you will need some knights." Beatrix said pointing at herself and Steiner.
"Don't for get Kimarhi." Kimarhi stated.
"And us." Garnet said, standing next to Zidane.
"I want the materia when we are done!" Yuffie yelled.
"Me too whatever that stuff is," her new friend Eiko screamed. Zell then put his arm around Selphie.
"Us too!" He yelled, and she smiled back at him. Just then she made up her mind.
"Me too! Leblanc would kill me if I didn't join in this romantic war!" Nooj yelled.
"Don't forget us." Tifa yelled, with Cloud next to her.
"I'm in this too." Paine yelled.
"Me too!" Quistis said.
"You guys are all crazy! You're nuts, and this is a pointless impossible battle!" Irvine yelled back. "But I'm going to fight too, cause it's scary out here by myself." Now Auron had everybody fired up, they went back to the front door, bashed it down. The crowd walked up to Cid, with Auron in front.
"Bring it on old man!" Auron ordered.
I can't wait to write about the fight. And you people who think this is sloppy, you have to realize it's hard to control this many characters in one story, that's why final fantasy only averages 7 characters per game lol. Thanx for the reviews Damien, and Sephiroth.
