Zorn and Thorn slowly crept their way through the graveyard when a thought struck Thorn.
"Zorn, why don't you go off and kill that Quistis girl while I work in the graveyard. That would be the easiest. Then we could get both jobs done at the same time," he said under his breath, though there was no one around.
Zorn smiled at the thought of him being the one with the fun job and said, "Ok meet you back here right after midnight."
Zorn left on his way to go find the Girl named Quistis. Thorn meanwhile was headed towards the grave of the SeeDs when he suddenly came face to face with the barrel of a gun.
"Wha?"
"Don't move!"
Zorn froze suddenly recognizing the figure behind the gun. It was one of the SeeDs that had been killed. Well apparently not killed. He was trying to think of how to get out of this situation when a solid wood object slammed into his face. He was out cold.
Irvine sighed. They had fought so hard to get back to Balmb and now they had this crisis to worry about. They had managed to activate their SeeD life savers before they were killed. The life saver made it so that they would not actually be killed but at will they could stop their hearts and stop their breathing. They would never lose consciousness. It was all due to some life retaining magic made by Odine. The magic was designed so they would appear dead and would for the most part be dead. They had been packed away in some compartments but sadly Irvine had blinked when they were bringing the bodies out to put in the mailing package to the Garden. It had been a nasty fight and one that Selphie was not ready for. Then they had to begin their trip home.
If they had tried to contact the Garden then there was no guarantee that the person who answered would not be a shapeshifter. They had overheard a conversation from two of the packaging crew that talked about the plan for the shapeshifters. If it was a shapeshifter then they would be killed when they got to the garden. Now he had a plan. He would need to ask who ever he was talking to a question that only he or she would know. Not only that but now they had to save Quistis. Life was hard. They set out for the Garden.

Rinoa felt as if she was in the worst dream of her life. Siefer was in full control of her by a remote control. It seemed to have a direct link to his head so he could instruct it on the more complicated things. He could make her do anything he wanted and she had no clue what his final objectives were. Right now though they had set out on a journey. They had gotten onto a waiting plane and now that they were on the plane Siefer had decided to have a little fun. She was forced to take off all of her clothes and dance. She wondered how far this might go and mentally cried. She wished Squall was here.
Siefer was having some good fun. Not only did the controller work to have her do anything but it could sense her feelings too. He was having a fun time trying to find a right dance to bring up her discomfort. He smirked as the meter went higher at his prying eyes.
Juile just wanted the plane to get here faster. Siefer was just having fun and ordering the plane to move as slowly as it could while still flying. She would kill him when he got here. Or maybe she would leave him to Squall... yes a much more fitting punishment...

Zorn made his way into the Garden. He had to hook onto the wall; not being a shapeshifter made it hard. He climbed the wall to Quistis' bedroom window. Here he would plant the bomb.
Quistis was feeling nervous. She wanted to tell Squall how she felt about him but she wasn't sure that he would accept her. She hoped that he might go out with her as she paced her room thinking. It was just then when she heard Squall cry out. It was another bad dream he must have had. Here she would ask him.
Squall was standing out in a field searching for something. He couldn't tell what he was in search of or how he had gotten there. Somehow though the place seemed familiar and the search desperate. He needed what he was looking for and whatever it was needed him to find it. It was an almost alluring sight when he saw her out in the middle of the field. She was beautiful and somehow he knew her but knew that he was forever separated from her. He couldn't quite grasp the concept. Suddenly he felt another force come in. It was evil and filled with hatred. It took the form away from him and he cried out, waking up.
As Squall looked around his room he suddenly heard a deafening boom and a scream. QUISTIS! He shot out of bed suddenly realizing just how important she was to him. Without her he would crumble. He saw when he got into the hall a horrible sight. It was the whole portion of the hall blown away and Quistis with a bloodied back lying on the ground.
"No!!!" Squall cried out.
He raced over to her side and saw a piece of metal that was wedged into her spine. Alone. Always. He blacked out at the sight of her.
{Don't give up she can still be saved}
[Alone always. Why me?]
{You will never be alone as long as you believe.}
[Rinoa, Quistis the only two I could ever have loved.]
{That's why you need to not fall into despair.}
[No reason to live.]
{Only if you think that way.}
[Rinoa my love left me.]
{Others need you.}
[Quistis, my best friend, died.]
{You don't know that!}
[No reason to fight anymore.]
{Think of Kirst.}
[...]

Selphie climbed through the hole in the wall of the Garden to see Irvine battling some assassin.
"GO! Save Quistis!"
Selphie ran out into the hall to see the piece of metal in Quistis' back. Squall lay near her with no apparent injuries. She pulled the metal out of Quistis' back and cast cure on her. Selphie picked up Quistis and ran through the developing crowd to the infirmary.

Siefer presented the somewhat haggard looking angel to Juile. Juile smiled lightly she hooked the girl into a machine.
"Take Siefer away and give him my 'accommodations'" she said with an audible quotation on accommodations.
Three burly men put shackles on Siefer and a weak sorceress muted him. He yelled unheard profanities at Juile as he was dragged away. She turned her attention back to Rinoa who was sitting on the chair calmly as if nothing was happing. The mind control device worked well even against the best sorceress in the world. She began the process to extract the powers from Rinoa to her. She smiled as her plans were coming along nicely.
"Zorn, why don't you go off and kill that Quistis girl while I work in the graveyard. That would be the easiest. Then we could get both jobs done at the same time," he said under his breath, though there was no one around.
