Chapter 18
In the distance Selphie watched the top of the tower as Zell wrestled with Irvine. Then her attention was drawn back to town as she saw the explosions. She hurried to see what was going on, around the corner of the first building she couldn't believe what she saw.
"You don't listen do you old man! It isn't Zell, and I ain't telling you where he's at!" Yelled Squall as he and Sephiroth stood back to back with 30 members of the swat team surrounding them.
"I know who is responsible and if you are helping him then by God you will die right here. Men ready your guns." Spartin ordered.
"If you shoot, I will have killed 10 of you before I go down. And Spartin, you'll be the first one." Sephiroth threatened.
"Men..." Spartin started to order.
"Nooooo don't!" Selphie yelled as she rushed to the scene and stood in front of Squall and Sephiroth.
"Selphie!" Spartin yelled.
"Dad, we don't have any time, Zell is on the tower right now and he is..." Selphie didn't finish.
"You here that men, snipers in position, terminate the blond man on first site!" Spartin ordered.
"No you don't understand, Zell helped me, it's Irvine that you need to shoot." Selphie explained.
"Huh?" Spartin questioned.
"I said don't shoot..." Selphie started. Sephiroth glanced as one of the snipers pulled on the trigger. Within a split second before the gun went off Sephiroth kicked the barrel. Miles away as Zell held Irvine in a death lock a bullet skimmed the side of his head. Zell fell flinched and Irvine broke free and jabbed his knife in Zell's thigh. Weakened Zell fell to the ground. Irvine, instead of trying to finish went to the controls and started to mess with the controls. In the distance, Selphie screamed as she saw Zell fall to the ground.
"Son of a bitch..." Squall complained as he darted off to the tower. Sephiroth and Selphie quickly ran off too. Spartin followed ordering his men to wait there. Below the satellite the four of them stood. They listened as Irvine screamed crazily about taking Zell and the entire satellite system out with him.
"I love you Selphie." Spartin said as he ran into the tower.
"Dad! Selphie yelled as she started to run after him, but Sephiroth held his arm out in front of her. Up top the dish Irvine was sitting on top of Zell.
"When this blows we both get to die, two rivals dying together." Irvine muttered. Zell grunted as he tried pushing Irvine off with his one arm. Just then Spartin appeared from the elevator and glanced around till he saw Irvine and Zell.
"Zell! Sorry I didn't believe you." Spartin apologized.
"Spartin, no get out of here this is going to explode any second now." Zell warned.
"I've lived 50 good years..." exclaimed Spartin as he ran over and jerked Irvine off Zell. "If you jump over the water you might make it." Zell hesitated for a second but 3 seconds remained on the timer...He forgot about his injured leg and charged to the edge of the satellite. "Take care of my daughter..." He heard Spartin tell him just before he made his leap of faith. 3000 feet about sea level Zell jumped as far out as he could. Time seemed to slow down as he glanced as the water got closer, the sound of the explosion was blocked out by the swishing of air pushing against him. Seconds seemed like minutes as he slowly arched himself for the landing. He closed his eyes and everything was black, everything seemed to fade away. As he started to open his eyes he heard words being mumbled over him.
"Hey, I think he's awake!" Seifer exclaimed as he stood up.
"Where am I?" Zell asked.
"You're in the infirmary dumbass." Squall grumbled. Zell drifted back to sleep. Squall and Seifer were getting tired of watching him.
"Selphie's dead..." Seifer said. Zell shot up and looked around. "Just kidding, but I had to get you to wake up."
"Where is she?" Zell asked. As he noticed he was in a hospital robe.
"Well, she sat here two days waiting for you to get up. She looked so tired that I told her to go home and get some rest." Squall replied.
"Well, I got to go see her then." Zell said as he started to walk out the door. Seifer got in front of him.
"You should get out of that dress first, go take a shower and get some roses." Seifer suggested.
"Fine, if you're so smart with girls how come Squall got Rinoa?" Zell smarted.
"If I wanted to stay with her I would have, but I got tired of her father checking up on me all the time." Seifer explained.
"Alright you got excuses, I'll take you're advise and get cleaned up and all. But I'd like to see if you really know how to get girls." Zell retorted.
"Alright you're on. Any girl you name I will be going out with her before the week ends." Seifer gloated.
"Any girl hmmm...what about uhmm...Quistis." Zell challenged.
"This I got to see, Arnold Swartzinegger couldn't even get a piece of that!" Squall laughed.
"I admit she will be a challenge, but I will be going out with her before the week ends." Seifer implied. "Best get dressed chicken wuss..."
"After I win this bet you can never call me chicken wuss again." Zell retorted.
"Yeah yeah" Seifer sighed and walked out of the infirmary.
"Better hurry up Zell, longer you wait the more depressed she is going to be." Squall exclaimed as he left. Zell jogged over to his dorm, and took a 20 minute shower. He spiked his hair, and got dressed in his SeeD uniform. He went over to the flower shop and bought a bundle of red roses.
"Can't believe I'm buying flowers." Zell mumbled to himself. He ran back to Selphie's dorm and knocked on the door. "Man is she going to be surprised." Zell murmured as he pounded on the door. A minute later Zell heard a voice.
"Nobody's home." Zell still wanted to surprise her so he kept knocking, Selphie was getting annoyed, and stormed over to the door. She started opening the door... "Don't you get it, I don't want...huh, Zell!?" Selphie yelled in surprise.
"Hi, I didn't mean to bother you..." Zell said as his face went red.
"Oh no you didn't, I thought you was another one of those friendly neighbors. I hate it when people come in and try to make you feel better. Anyways...whoa..."
"I know I look like a geek, but these are for you." Zell stuttered when he handed her the roses.
"That's sweet of you, I still can't believe what I'm seeing." Selphie said as she started to smile a little. Her face was still a little red from crying.
"Uhm can I come in?" Zell asked.
"Sure." Selphie welcomed.
"Thanks I didn't want anybody out here to see me wearing this, I got a rep to keep." Zell joked.
"I know it's a mess, but I just haven't felt like picking up." Selphie sighed.
"Mess! You should see my dorm!" Zell joked.
"I'd rather not," Selphie replied.
"So I heard you waited two days in the infirmary." Zell implied.
"Yeah, ya know you could have woke up before then." Selphie snapped.
"Hey that was a pretty hard fall, but I guess I have your dad to think that I'm still alive." Zell said with a serious face.
"Yeah...his funeral was today, Squall and Seifer were nice enough to go back and stay with you."
"I'm sorry about your dad, I know we didn't really like each other but I see now that he wasn't such a bad guy." Zell respectably noted.
"What did he say when he got up there?" Selphie asked.
"uhm well...uh." Zell's face turned red. "He said, 'take care of my daughter'."
"Hmph, he guess he still thought that I can't fend for myself." Selphie sighed.
"It's not that he just cared about you a lot." Zell exclaimed. She sighed again, and they sat there looking silently at each other.
"Zell, you want to pick up where we left off last time?" Selphie questioned as she started to undo her yellow dress. Zell stood up really fast and started pacing around nervously.
"Ugh, yeah uhm." Zell whimpered. As she slid her clothes off, Zell went psyched.
"Oh come on Zell, it's not that hard." Selphie said as she walked over to him and unzipped his pants.
"I'm not nervous, I just don't like to make the first move." Zell excused as she lowered his boxers.
"Didn't those pornos teach you anything" Selphie laughed as she tackled him to the bed.
"He scored!" Tidus yelped as he and Auron watched outside the window.
"Yeah, he's lucky she likes him otherwise with his bad talking skills he'd never get any." Auron explained. "You should be getting back to your dorm, I'm sure Yuna is there waiting for you..."
"Oh yeah!" Tidus raised his eyebrows up and down and ran off.
"Pity, no woman would ever put up with me." Auron complained as he watched Selphie and Zell.
I know, you probably wonder why I didn't go into more detail with Selphie and Zell. One reason is this is R rated not NC-17, another is somebody got onto me for that in one of my previous stories. As you probably guessed the next chapter will be about Seifer trying to prove how good he is with women. And like I said this story isn't near over, I just thought of another huge plot so keep reading and enjoy, maybe a review or two would be nice. Thanx for your time, I doubt anyone reads author notes anyways...
