WildfireDreams: It reminds me of something I was once told. 'Hard-Work will pay off in the long run, but laziness pays off now!"

Sadoko: Uhh…I hope you catch up, but are you hitting on me?

emocrybaby: A Sequel hasn't crossed my mind, but you never know with me.

OK folks. This is more than just Adel. This is also the journey to Ultimecia's Castle, with Limit Breaks galore!

CHAPTER 46: BATTLE OF HISTORY, COMPRESSION OF TIME

Rinoa was scared to death. Seifer had his gunblade to her throat, and Adel's Tomb had come into view. Rinoa could see Sorceress Adel standing inside. She remembered when Ultimecia had control of her mind. Adel was frozen inside her wave-jamming prison. However, now she had thawed out! Luckily, Adel had not waken up yet, though when she did, the result was sure to be ugly.

"Seifer, stop it!" Rinoa pleaded. "Haven't you done enough? I know you're not like that."

"I can't go back now." Seifer said. "The sorceresses as one! That is Ultimecia's WISH!"

"Seifer." Rinoa continued her plea. "No more, please?"

"It's too late for me, Rinoa." Seifer said.

"SEIFER, NO!" Squall yelled as he ran into the area.

"Rinoa and Adel, the sorceresses as one!" Seifer yelled. "Watch closely Squall!" With that, Seifer pushed Rinoa at the foot of Adel's Tomb!

"Sorceress Adel!" Seifer shouted. "You have returned to Esthar! Awaken and spread your wrath!" At Seifer's command, Sorceress Adel's eyes shot open!

"First, Sorceress Rinoa." Adel hissed. "Then Dr. Odine and Laguna Loire, Then Esthar, Then THE WORLD!" Adel shot her hand out, shattering the glass that confined her! She grabbed Rinoa by the throat as a bright flash filled the room. As the flash subsided, Rinoa was absorbed into Adel's chest! With twice the sorcery at her command, Adel was the most powerful being in the world!

"See you in hell, Leonhart!" Seifer said as he ran out of the room. Seifer wasn't sure what Adel could do, but he sure as hell wasn't going to stick around to find out!

"Stench!" Adel bellowed. "The SeeDs shall parish from existence!"

"We gotta save Rinoa!" Zell said.

"Just concentrate on Adel!" Squall told him. Irvine took aim, and shot Adel right between the eyes! However, Adel stood firm. It would take more than a bullet to eliminate her. Adel quickly countered Irvine's attempt, and mentally forced Irvine to punch himself in the face. Irvine was out cold.

"Blue Magic: Micro Missiles!" Quistis said. Missiles appeared from nowhere and hurled themselves at Adel. Once again using her mental powers, the missiles were shot back in Quitsis' direction, knocking her away several feet. Selphie was soon at both Irvine and Quistis' sides.

"Full Cure!" She yelled. Irvine and Quistis were soon back on their feet. Zell went to punch Adel, however, she caught his fist, and was squeezing it as if it held a divine nectar. Rinoa could do nothing but watch as Adel laid waste to all of her friends. Adel's attention was turned as Squall began hacking her with his gunblade for all that it was worth, however, Adel felt little or no pain, as she forcefully smacked Squall away with her free hand. As Squall struggled to his feet, he was forced down again as Zell came flying into him, Adel having thrown him across the room with little effort.

"You bore me." Adel hissed. "Meteor!" Squall and his group found themselves in another dimension, as hundreds of Meteors showered down upon them! Luckily, they survived. If they didn't have their GF's Junctioned, they would surely have been killed!

"We need...a new...strategy." Squall struggled to say. "We...have to...separate her...from Rinoa."

"To do that," Selphie said. "We would...have to break...her junction."

"I've got...an Idea." Quistis said. "Meltdown!" A ton of energy appeared in front of Quistis, whom then released it, blasting Adel right in the face as she let out a yell!"

"That seems to have hurt her!" Zell said, finally getting back to his feet.

"Now we need to hit her with everything we got!" Quistis said.

"You pathetic little insect!" Adel yelled. "You will pay dearly for that!"

"Kiss our asses!" Zell yelled. "Different Beat!" Running forward, he continued to do backflips with his leg sticking out, each kick knocking Adel higher and higher into the air! Once they were high enough, Zell stomped on her head, dealing out the damage.

"Blue Magic: Fire Breath!" Quistis yelled. She inhaled deeply, and exhaled an inferno! The flames searing on Adel's face!

"Armor Shot!" Irvine yelled as he loaded six rounds of Armor Piercing ammo into his gun. Quickly, he fired them off, blasting Adel twice in the face, three times in her left arm, and once in her right! With the damage being dealt, a bright flash filled the room, and Rinoa and Adel had separated. Selphie ran over and helped Rinoa to her feet, as Squall looked at Adel with an icy stare, and then a bright light surrounded him.

"I was saving this for Ultimecia, but you'll do." Squall hissed with an intensity greater than anybody had ever heard. "Blasting Zone!" Energy began to gather in Squalls Gunblade as he held it straight up. The Energy shot forward in a straight line miles into the sky! Once enough power had been collected, Squall brought it down, crushing Adel with power like she had never experienced in her life! Adel's time was short; she fell to her knees as her skin changed color.

"I have to take her power!" Rinoa said as she ran over to the dying Sorceress and held out her hand. Adel took Rinoa's hand as Rinoa felt a surge of energy rush into her body. Sorceress Adel soon let go of Rinoa and fell to her face. A bright flash had filled the room, and after it had subsided, Adel was gone without a trace.

"Did WE just KILL Sorceress Adel?" Zell asked.

"You did." A voice said. The voice had come from Rinoa's mouth, though it wasn't Rinoa's voice, it was Ultimecia's!

"I must say that I am impressed." Ultimecia hissed, using Rinoa to speak for her. "But mark my words, Compared to me, Adel was a weakling!" As if on cue, Laguna and Ellone entered the room. Laguna noticed that Ultimecia had taken control of Rinoa.

"Ellone, now's your chance!" Laguna said. Using her power, Ellone sent Rinoa's consciousness back to the past, along with Sorceress Ultimecia!

"Ok Elle, just get Rinoa back." Laguna said. Ellone then concentrated her power, and Rinoa woke up.

"I was...inside Adel." Rinoa said. "The young Adel. I noticed Ultimecia leave my body."

"Ultimecia's inside Adel, exactly what she wanted." Laguna said. "OK guys, time compression is about to begin. Are you ready?"

"We are." Squall said.

"We'll do our best, Sir Laguna!" Selphie cheered.

"By the way, which one of you is Squall Leonhart?" Laguna asked.

"I am." Squall said.

"Ellone told me about you." Laguna said. "After this is all over, you and I need to have a serious talk."

"I'll keep that in mind." Squall said.

"OK folks, it's showtime!" Laguna said. "Love, friendship, and courage. Show Ultimecia what you got!" With that, Laguna and Ellone ran off. Everything began to change color and warp in on itself! Then, Squall began falling. As he fell, he did as Laguna said. He imagined himself being in a place with all of his...friends. The word felt new to him. Friends. Since he started juctioning GF, he never really called anyone a friend. He did it now, not because he had to, but because he wanted to. Zell, Selphie, Quistis, Irvine, and Rinoa. Each one...a friend.

"W-Where do we go?" Irvine yelled. Each of them felt like they had hit water, but they could still breath, and they continued falling through their liquid environment.

"To Edea's House!" Squall said.

"I'll probably disappear!" Rinoa said.

"Just stay close to me," Squall said. "I wont let you disappear." They felt themselves fall out of the water into a flock of seagulls, which all of them were swallowed into a time warp. Soon, they felt themselves land on solid ground. The room was square, with only one door leading outward.

"The commencement room." Quistis whispered. Squall led them through a door. Suddenly the door vanished and a sign appeared.

"Defeat the 12 sorceresses past and you shall gain access to Sorceress Ultimecia's Castle."

Within seconds, two sorceresses appeared and blew the sign away! The gang drew their weapons, but as each blow was registered, another sorceress appeared! Taking the gang to many different places in the world! From Deling City, to Timber, To Dollet, The Training Center, Esthar, Trabia, Balamb Garden, D-District Prison, The Fire Cavern, Winhill. The battle was long and hard.

"Canister Shot!" Irvine yelled as he began pumping many rounds of Demolition Ammo into 2 sorceresses.

"Wishing Star!" Rinoa yelled as her dog Angelo appeared. Both of them teaming up to take out a sorceress.

"The End!" Selphie called. Within seconds, two sorceresses were sent to their graves, as Selphie unleashed a wild fury of magical energy upon them.

"Blue Magic; Fire Breath!" Quistis called out as she completely melted 2 sorceresses.

"My Final Heaven!" Zell called out. His speed was increased as he felt himself run ALL the way around the world in a matter of seconds. He returned and laid a punch in on two sorceresses! His velocity causing both of them to disintegrate!

"Blasting Zone!" Squall called. Energy began to gather in Squalls Gunblade as he held it straight up. The Energy shot forward in a straight line miles into the sky! Once enough power had been collected, Squall brought it down, crushing the two remaining sorceresses.

"Something's not right." Rinoa said. "That was only eleven." As if on cue, the ground below them ripped open, revealing the 12th sorceress, and she was a giant! She had no visible legs, and seemed to move like a worm. Suddenly, she cast a spell that nearly ended their existence! An ultima spell! This spell nearly had the intensity of a nuclear warhead! Thanks to the GF's, Squall and his gang were able to hold on, and keep fighting.

"Prepare to suffer the same fate as Griever!" Squall said. "Eternal Breath!" Squall and the gang disappeared as the Sorceress found herself in another dimension. Then something descended from the sky, the most powerful GF in existence, Eden! Eden sank beneath the ground, which then turned black and had signs of the apocalypse! A ray shot up from under the sorceress, sending her flying into the sky...into a black hole as Squall reappeared. However, the only one with him was Rinoa. He looked at his surroundings. He was at Edea's house...in the past! Nobody was there. Not Edea, Cid, no children, nothing. Squall and Rinoa continued to explore, into the room where Squall slept as a small child. The door led them out to the beach...in the present! As their surroundings changed, they saw Zell and Quistis appear, as if from thin air. Edea's house looked just like it did when Squall last saw it, in shambles. Squall took about 5 steps, when the scene changed again. Edea's house was gone, at his feet were the White SeeD's, each one brutally slaughtered, Standing above them looking at the carnage were the other two that Squall was glad to see alive; Irvine and Selphie.

"Future SeeDs." Squall said, crouching over Jason's corpse. "We're fighting across generations." Squall looked up and saw something sitting on a floating island...Ultimecia Castle! The dark building sent shivers down his spine.

"Ultimecia's reign, we have to end it now!"
