CHAPTER 38: HER FAVORITE UNCLE
"The skinny one and the fat one, get your Asses down to Lunatic Pandora!" An Esthar soldier said. Squall noticed Kiros and Ward run out of the room. Squall noticed that Laguna was in some basement with 2 Esthar soldiers, another guy, and a Moomba. The soldier came up to the body Squall was in, as if it wasn't obvious that he was in Laguna's mind.
"You're gonna stay here and work." The soldier said.
"But I'm hungry." Laguna whined.
"I said no talking!" The soldier said. "It's only been 3 days, you wimp! When I was young, I worked all day, all night, without food or sleep."
"Bull crap," Laguna thought. "You're so fat you could sit on a rainbow and make Skittles." A few minutes passed before Laguna spoke up again.
"I wonder if Kiros and Ward are working too."
"No talking! How many times to I have to..." The Guard couldn't finish, as the bell rung 12 noon.
"All right, meal time!" Laguna said.
"You stay here and work, that's what you get for your big mouth!" The guard said. "That Moomba too, no meal until your work is done!"
"Hey, you can't be serious!" Laguna said. "I'll be done in 2 or 3 hours, but his job won't get done for days!"
"He just wont get fed for a few days." The soldier said cruelly. "If he wants to eat, he should work faster."
"Come give me a hand," The other soldier said, "I can't handle this big guy alone."
"Don't do anything stupid while I'm gone!" The soldier said to Laguna. "The camera is watching you." Soon, Laguna heard a voice upstairs.
"Experiment! Let's do this!" Someone said. Laguna looked around, as nothing happened. "Bah, this iz a failure!"
"Sound's like Dr. Odine's up to something." The other guy said.
"Like what?" Laguna asked.
"Possibly something having to do with Lunatic Pandora."
"You mean that Giant metal box?" Laguna said. "I saw that thing up at the Trabia Canyon about three months ago."
"You seem like a nice guy." He said. "I'm Zeke Delong."
"Laguna Loire." He said as he shook Zeke's hand.
"Up to no good again, aren't ya!" A soldier said as he punched Laguna in the face. The soldier wasn't prepared for what happened next, Laguna pulled out his Machine gun and blasted the soldier in the chest, killing him.
"Don't move!" Said another soldier as the elevator doors opened.
"Darn, I did it again." Laguna said. "Oh well." Laguna ran forward and pinned the soldier against the wall. "Just get on and go!"
Zeke and the Moomba got on the elevator and left, just as Kiros and Ward came in.
"Kiros, Ward, Great timing!" Laguna said. Soon, another guard appeared.
"Or should you say bad timing?" Kiros asked.
"Less talking, more walking!" The second soldier said. Ward rolled his eyes as if to say 'I'm a mute you moron!'
"It's not so bad." Laguna said. "2 is better than 1, and 4 is better than 2, right?"
"So who's the fourth one?" Kiros asked. "Are you hallucinating?"
"Yeah, I can just see it." Laguna said. "Oh Ellone, you make you're uncle so happy. Alright, Let's get em!" Kiros and ward turned around and knocked one soldier over the railing to his doom, as Laguna blasted the other in the face.
"Jail Break!" Laguna called as he and his comrades left the building. They spotted Zeke standing outside.
"This guy is Dr. Odine's assistant." Zeke said. "Don't worry, he's an Adel Resistance member."
"Is he a new member?" He asked. "You made quite a bit of noise down there. This would be a good time to leave."
"Why, did Adel stop funding the lab?" Zeke asked.
"No, Dr. Odine has found a new toy he prefers over a big one like Lunatic Pandora." The man, named Davis, said. "Some child named Ellone."
"Ellone?" Laguna nearly screamed.
"You know her?" Davis asked.
"Know her? She's the only reason we're here." Kiros said.
"Where is she?" Laguna screamed at the man.
"Dr. Odine may know her whereabouts." Davis said.
"Wait, I owe you a favor." Zeke said. "If you're looking for this Ellone, then facing Esthar and Sorceress Adel with just the three of you will be difficult. I'll provide you with all the information you'll need."
"It's not a bad idea." Kiros said. "We don't know anything about Esthar. I never want to go through this again, and I'm sure Ward feels the same way."
"Okay, We'll accept your help." Laguna said. "In return, we'll help your anti Azel movement or whatever."
"It's ADEL!" Kiros said. "Start paying attention because it's getting embarrassing. I know Ward feels the same way." Laguna headed back into the lab, where Dr. Odine was.
"Dr. Odine! Where is Ellone?" Laguna said to him.
"Vat are you talking about?" Dr. Odine said. "I don't know any Ellone."
"Are you sure?" Laguna said, forcing Odine to look down the barrel of Laguna's little friend.
"Okay, I vas lying!" Odine said. "She iz in my lab!"
"How do I get there?" Laguna said.
"I shall lead you zere." Odine said. He didn't want to give up Ellone, though he didn't want a hole in his eye socket either.
Dr. Odine led Laguna and his comrades to his lab. Where he went upstairs.
"She iz in zat room." Odine said. "I will open it. The Switch iz up zose stairs." Odine disappeared, and soon, the door was open. Laguna rushed in and saw Ellone weeping silently clutching a teddy bear. Laguna knew how she felt; she just wanted to go home.
"Ellone!" Laguna said, getting her attention. Ellone looked up and saw her favorite person in the whole wide world.
"Uncle Laguna!" She said excitedly as Laguna scooped her up in a big hug.
"I told you I'd come save you." Laguna said. "Sorry I'm a little late, but..."
