EverShadow: YAY! They have a computer here!
Tiger of Blackness: ………damn.
EverShadow: WHAAA??? Why are you here????
Tiger of Blackness: I'm a stalker…what did you expect?
EverShadow: Pft…you're contacting me through email. That's how you're here.
Tiger of Blackness: I miss you.
EverShadow: Really? Eyes get starry
Tiger of Blackness: I have just so much pent up anger and no one to release it on…
EverShadow: ………… on with the show…

"IF SHE'S ALIVE WE'VE GOT TO GO FIND HER!!!" Zell yelled. "Come on, we've got to go save her. Seifer may not be my favorite person but if he is even remotely telling the truth…"
"Maybe he's tricking us." Squall replied bitterly. Zell looked at her pleadingly.
"Come on! She's out there. I can feel it!" He begged. Squall had his hand on his forehead, trying to overcome the intense feelings coursing through him; regret, disbelief, distrust, relief. If Quistis was alive, there was no doubt that he would do anything within his power to save her.
"It'll be like old times." Irvine tried. Selphie bit her lip.
"I don't like Seifer either but I'm willing to trust him on this one. He's already been so broken up, what else does he have to torture us with? I mean, really, what if she is alive and every second we wait she's a second closer to disappearing forever? I'm willing to try anything at this point." She said with optimism. Rinoa smiled and nodded.
"I'm really willing to try anything at this point as well." She agreed. The five of them stared at Squall who was obviously hating the idea of teaming up with Seifer. Finally, he let out an exasperated sigh.
"Fine, we go." The others cheered in the middle of the hall, drawing looks from everyone around them.

Seifer lay still against the wall, trying to remember the feeling of Quistis's lips kissing his. But no matter how much he remembered what it looked like, he could not remember what it felt like.
Don't worry, he thought to himself. Once you save her…you can kiss her all you want until you practically memorize how it feels. He smiled faintly at the thought and leaned his head back. Provided, of course, that Puberty-boy got his little band of merry men to join him. He imagined Quistis somewhere cold and lonely and just thinking about it made him want to go to her and wrap his strong arms to comfort her…to take her away. Suddenly, he heard footsteps and turned his head to see the five of them walking towards him with solemn expressions.
"So, you made your decision yet?" he asked. His heart raged wildly in anticipation and his breath caught in his throat.
"We don't like you very much." Squall began. "But we've decided that we're going to help you if only because Quistis is in trouble." Seifer shot to his feet and thrust a fist into the air. When he noticed that they were staring, he put his hand down and smiled.
"That's great…"
"Where did you see the Omega Weapon last?" Squall asked. "Surely in the time that you were gone you heard about it."
"Well, last time I saw it, it ended up in Esthar. I came straight back after being pummeled by the Ultimate Weapon." He replied. Squall was shocked that he had come all the way from Esthar and also because the Ultimate Weapon was on the rage as well.
"Esthar?" He asked in disbelief. Seifer nodded. "How did you survive?"
"It's a funny thing, this drunk guy saved me. His name was Synk…and I have no idea what he was doing down there. He was…weird though…" Squall shook his head, not wishing to go into details.
"Look, if the Ultimate Weapon has been reborn as well…then we've got a problem."
"It's not my problem. The only problem I have is the fact that Quistis is trapped somewhere and I'm going to look for her." Seifer snapped. Squall sighed and rubbed his temples.
"I'll make you a deal. If we help you go looking for the Omega Weapon and Quistis, then you have to help us kill the Ultimate Weapon." Squall ordered. Seifer growled and gritted his teeth.
"Fine…but Quistis comes first." He stuck out his hand and Squall shook it rather roughly.
.

I just find it interesting that they agreed…
Yeah. I half expected them to tear each other apart.
.

Squall drew his gunblade and so did Seifer. They eyed each other with deadly intent.

HYNE!!! STOP MESSING WITH THEIR HEADS!!
You're no fun. What do I do with all this power if I can't spruce things up?
……good…gods…

EverShadow: That was a more…interesting chapyter. But in all seriousness…things are going to get really dark after this.
Tiger of Blackness: How dark? As the shadows that roam the
streets searching for prey?
