This Will Go OUR Way

(Aka: For Quistis: Part 2)

Seifer swung his gunblade with every single ounce of strength he had in his body and lodged the blade deep into the arm of the Omega Weapon. The crippled enemy waved his arms and Seifer clung on frantically.

"COME ON CHICKEN WUSS!!" He yelled.

"Just a little more…" Zell hissed, ignoring the comment. "NOW! ALEXANDER!" The giant armored GF came into view, shooting thousands of shiny lights into the sky. Seifer jumped away just as the beams descended. The area the Omega Weapon stood in was completely decimated. The three of them watched the dust float.

"Well?" Zell asked. Suddenly, a claw swooped through the cloud and sliced at them. They all dodged to once side. The Hyperion came close to shaving Seifer's arm off.

"My baby…" He said, picking it up and swinging it.

"No way…that was a direct hit!" Zell shouted.

"You do remember the last time we fought right?" Squall asked. "Well obviously it's not going to do sh-" He was cut off in mid sentence when a beam knocked him squarely in the chest. He fell back.

"BOSSMAN!" Zell shouted. Seifer cursed and blocked another beam.

"I'm ok…the protect absorbed most of the blow…" Squall groaned, getting up.

"Told ya!" Seifer boasted. Squall didn't want to argue now. The Omega Weapon tried to get up and stumbled sideways. Squall's eyes wandered to what was in its path.

"RINOA!" He ran towards her fallen figure, trying desperately to reach her before she was crushed. A giant leg fell on her figure and his eyes opened as he let out a strangled sob.

"SHUT UP!" Seifer said through clenched teeth as he stood above her, holding the flat edge of his Hyperion up to the foot of the Omega Weapon. "You owe me…big…Pubes!" He forced the Weapon away. "Learn to run faster." Squall rushed over to her side and grabbed Seifer by the collar and looked into his blue eyes with intenseness that could not be matched.

"Seifer, I swear to you, whatever you need I'll attend to it, big or small."

"I'll hold you to that, Pubes." Seifer smirked before Squall realized that it may not have been such a good idea. "Maybe I'll make you prance around in a clown suit at me and Quistis's wedding…" The idea appalled him, even more so that he mentioned a possible wedding.

"Cut the chat…" Zell warned as he ran over to them as well. The Omega Weapon stood up again, the one leg blasted by Irvine still bleeding.

"Come on…let's not let their sacrifice go to waste…" Seifer said, nodding to the fallen body of Irvine and the all but ruined Ragnarok. Squall and Seifer charged, Zell drawing Ultima and casting it. The two gunbladers struck at the same time, synchronizing their movements unconsciously. Where Seifer dug into one leg, Squall dug into the other, when he cast meteor, the other cast flare. Zell watched a little in awe at their movements, after all, they had trained together for quite a while but he had never anticipated this.

"You're good, Pubes."

"…Whatever." Squall replied, ducking another swipe.

"You and I ought to spar in front of our girls to show them we're manly. Of course, Quistis will be proud of me when I win and you can have Rinoa comfort you on your loss." Seifer took the opportunity when the Omega Weapon fell to jump on its back. Squall followed a little behind.

"DIE! YOU! SON! OF! A…" He hit the Weapon's neck repeatedly, inflicting some damage but not enough. Squall helped but the Weapon retaliated by getting up with new found strength and throwing them off.

"Float!" Zell yelled, finally able to use his double cast. The two stopped right before they hit the ground but the Omega Weapon had turned around, ready to kill them.

"Aw…shit…" Seifer cursed. But that wasn't the worst of it. The Weapon roared and several white portals materialized on the ground before them. Dark, shadowy malboros, blue dragons, ruby dragons and other different kinds of monsters appeared there, lumbering towards them.

"SHIT! IT'S CREATED A WHOLE FRIGGEN ARMY!" The martial artist shouted, his eyes wide with horror. Squall and Seifer stood up, unsure as to what to do. They were all going to die…these monsters were going to get them.

Suddenly, several missiles slammed into the ground and some ended up hitting the Omega Weapon. The three looked to the sea where they saw the Balamb Garden nearing the cliffs of the island.

"FREAKING A!" Seifer blurted.

"We got you covered!" SeeD started jumping from the ship to the island, some barely making it.

"Xu?!" Squall asked.

"You didn't think we wouldn't try something to save our beloved Instructor?" She asked. "Cid approved the attack immediately once he found out."

"Look, thanks." Seifer said. "But the Omega Weapon's mine. These two can help but you just take care of the monsters ok?"

"Stop being such a conceited prideful bastard."

"Nope!" Seifer smirked and charged through the enemy lines. The Omega Weapon was barely getting up when Seifer thrust his sword into the Weapon's side.

"Irvine needs help right away!" Squall ordered, pointing to the body.

"Get him to Kadowaki!" Xu ordered the nearest SeeD.

"Yes ma'am!" He said, running to get him, backed up by two other SeeD.

"There's another one in the ship…Selphie…she's in the hanger! And Rinoa too! Don't forget Rinoa!" Squall added. Xu looked to a group of SeeD to her right and nodded. They rushed towards the Ragnarok. Xu turned back.

"I hope we're not too late…" She whispered.

"Thanks." Squall said, saluting. Zell did the same and they chased after Seifer. Even as they ran past the monsters, they could already see the casualties. Many of the SeeD were new and inexperienced, getting cut down at every turn. Even the veterans were having a hard time sustaining their party and fighting at the same time.

"Squall…"

"This is their duty." He replied. "We must hurry."

-

"YOU GIVE HER BACK!" Seifer yelled, sticking his sword into it over and over again. Squall and Zell arrived just in time to see him get knocked away by a Behemoth. Seifer stood up, almost glowing but not in the same light as if aura had been cast. It was light golden. "No way, you've just made one hell of a mistake!" Seifer sliced right though the Behemoth and dug his blade even deeper, sending a flare down the tip to explode within the Weapon.

Everything went in slow motion after that. Time began to slow down, people fell and each individual drop of blood could be seen clearly.

I'm here! Quistis shouted. The time stop was only for a moment before everything began again. Seifer dropped his gunblade and fell to his knees, weak as a newborn.

"Did I do it…?" He whispered, looking at the still body of the Omega Weapon. There seemed to be no movement. On top of that, the monsters the SeeD were fighting vanished completely.

"WOAH! GO SEIFER!" Zell shouted abandoning all hatred he had for the man.

"You watch closely?" He asked. "That's how a real man fights." The hatred came back but he still couldn't help but crack a smile.

"Get all the wounded into the Garden!" Xu ordered.

"We found her!" The team that had gone after Selphie shouted. The three turned to watch as they brought her mangled body back. "It doesn't look good." Xu composed herself.

"Regardless, bring her to Dr. Kadowaki. Hurry! There may still be time!"

Time…Seifer thought and his head snapped back to the Omega Weapon. He stood up, leaving his Hyperion still embedded in the Weapon. He looked around.

"Congratulations." A familiar voice said. He turned around in disbelief. Synk stood near the Omega Weapon's mouth. "You accomplished what I never thought possible, even if you did have some help…"

"Who are you anyway?!" Seifer demanded, running towards him in an attempt to grab his collar. Synk sidestepped easily and Seifer fell forward onto the ground. "Look, there's a lot of stuff you need to do." He touched the Omega Weapon's body and whistled. "Man! I thought you were a goner for sure."

"Many people did die." Seifer replied getting up and standing straight, tall and proud. Synk raised an eyebrow.

"Well, well, for once you look like the knight you were meant to be. Come on, your princess awaits after all." He said, stretching out his hand.

"HEY!" Zell shouted. "Who are you?!" Synk turned around and winked at the two baffled SeeD.

"I'm a knight too. One who knows all to well the troubles this guy is going through." Right after he said that, the two of them disappeared.
