There's something I need to do, but since I can't remember what that is right now, I might as well update.
jasmine32: Yes, Edea said that.JadeAlmasy: Well, I added a little more to the end of this chapter, just to seal a plot hole I was thinking about. Also, if it keeps you motivated to read. I have already written the final chapter to this story, which happens AFTER Squall and Rinoa come in from the balcony. So you can narrow down that the final chapter is a spawn of my own brain. All I have to do is get there.
QueenAdreena: If you tell me Who or What Zoidburg is, I'll fill you in on a Chimichonga. It's kind of like a burrito, but in another kind of tortilla. That's the impression I get. If anyone knows the real difference between a Burrito and a Chimichonga, let me know.
Now, before we continue, if any of you have Stories you want me to check out, here is a trivia question. Whoever can answer it correctly gets a review from me.
Q: How did Laguna get his last name? (Loire)CHAPTER 19: THE SORCERESS AND HER KNIGHT
Knowing the time was now, Squall pulled out his Gunblade and leapt off the building, knocking down a Galbadian soldier in the process. Spotting a Car, he hopped in and used his Gunblade to turn the ignition. Quickly, Squall sped through the crowd and headed for the Gateway. Slipping through the bars, he climbed to the top of the float, where Seifer leered at him, wearing his trademark grin.
"Well, this is how it all turned out." Seifer said.
"So, you've become the sorceress' lap dog?" Squall asked.
"I prefer to be called her knight." Seifer retorted lifting his gunblade. "This has always been my dream." With their gunblades up, Squall and Seifer began to circle each other.
"Squall, you're mine!" Seifer said, going in for a swing, which Squall blocked.
"Thought I was dead, huh?" Seifer said, "Nut until I fulfill my dream." Squall said nothing, as he and Seifer continued their heated battle.
"No mercy!" Seifer shouted, bringing energy into his gunblade as he went for his Limit break. Seifer let the energy go, but with one quick swing, Squall deflected the shot back to Seifer.
"You haven't been practicing, have you?" Squall asked. "Rough Divide!" It was now Squalls turn with his limit break, At such a close range, Seifer couldn't deflect it, and was brought down to one knee.
"I...lost?" Seifer said in disbelief.
"You're losing it Seifer," Squall told him. A hand was placed on Seifer's head, pushing him aside: the hand of Sorceress Edea.
"A SeeD..." She said, "Planted in a run-down Garden!" Squall knew what was comming next, a battle with a sorceress.
"Thundaga!" She shouted. A GIANT bolt of lightning struck Squall, knocking him off his feet. Edea wasn't messing around, and knew what she was doing. As she went in for another strike, the projectile of a Blaster Edge struck her, and Rinoa and Irvine appeared. The door to the gateway swung open, allowing Quistis, Zell, and Selphie to join the fight.
"Squall, we're here." Quistis said.
"We're ready to rock!" Zell shouted.
"Did you guys get the new GF?" Squall asked.
"Yeah, It's called Carbuncle," Selphie said, "It casts Reflect on us."
"I can fight if I'm with you," Rinoa said as she helped Squall to his feet. "That's why I'm here."
"I have to redeem myself." Irvine whispered.
"Careful, she just smacked me with a Thundaga spell." Squall said.
"That can be reflected!" Selphie said.
"Then let's do it." Squall said. They all went into their summoning poses. "Ruby Light!" They all said together. A Hole opened on the Float as the GF Carbuncle appeared. Leaping into the air, Carbuncle did a flip, shining light from the ruby on its forehead on each party member. Carbuncle climbed back into its hole.
"Now lets do what we were asked." Squall said. Zell blasted Edea with a fist, while Quistis hit her with a Blizzara spell. Irvine hit her in the head with his gun as Selphie went for her legs with her nunchaku. Rinoa fired her Blaster edge again, While Squall came in and slashed her, pulling the trigger on the way down. Nothing seemed to hurt the sorceress, as her mental powers knocked them all away.
"Impudent SeeDs!" Edea was growing tired of this game. "Ice Strike!" She shouted.
"Oh man, she has a Limit Break!" Zell shouted. Edea lifted her hand, releasing a small orb of energy, which grew into a 4-foot long Icicle! Using her powers, she threw it forward...into Squall's right shoulder!
The guards had now showed up and managed to get the others in handcuffs. Squall was still breathing, and prayed for something to save his life. As he fell off the float, he was never so glad to hear the familiar whistling sound in his head, as he also saw Zell and Irvine collapse. Quistis, Rinoa, and Selphie seemed to be dumbfounded about Zell and Irvine, but also worried for Squall. Soon, they heard the sorceress gasp, as if she was wrestling her own mind.
"No…I won't…Let you." Edea soon cast a spell that melted the ice spear caught in Squall's shoulder, and then something that appeared to be a Curaga spell! At this moment, Seifer had caught his breath, and was at Edea's side. Edea had fallen to one knee, and seemed to be sweating.
"My sorceress," Seifer said. "Are you alright?"
"Seifer…please." Edea said while gasping for air. "Get me…out of here."
