AN: Well...I've actually come back from the grave, it's been how long since I actually updated a story here? GAaa...Well, You know the routine, I don't own anything...you never know what happens in the story, but hell, I don't even know what happens in my own stories. I just go with the flow! FYI, I really don't remember what happens in the jail cell part of the game, because my computer is a bitch and I can't get back into the game, or else it freezes up on me. Glares at game Oh well, bare with me.

Quistis watched helplessly as Zell fell unconscious. "Zell!" He cried out. She watched as he fell limp in her arms, she could hear Selphie run over
and knell down. "Dream world again..." Quistis whispered.

Selphie bit her lip and folded her legs under her. Reaching out, she brushed Zell's sweat, matted locks from his forehead. "What are we going to do?" She asked Quistis. Ever since Squall had been ripped away from them, and they had been thrown into prison, the SeeD, plus Rinoa, had been set
off guard. Everything was going to the dogs.

Taking a breath, Quistis, gently lowered Zell to the ground. "We have to work with what we have." She said, looking back up at Selphie she gave the small girl a forced smile of hope, "We will escape, no matter what." She set a firm hand on Selphie's shoulder. "Just believe in that." She said.

'Where am I?' Zell looked around the dark walls, 'This is isn't the cave...' Blinking, he turned and took at step, 'OW!' Looking down, he saw that he had run into a cart that was littered with cleaning supplies. 'What the...'
Looking down at his hands, Zell realized he wasn't Kiros, as he usually
was.

'I'm Ward!' Looking up he scanned the area. Slowly, he started to recognize the dreary place, 'This is the D-District Prison...' A smirk appeared on his
lips, they were home free now. With Ward being a janitor at the prison,
this gave Zell free access to the whole jail.

Working his way around the inner part of the cell, Zell walked up the
stairs, and examined the locks on the cell doors, and of the stairs
themselves. 'Alright...key coded locks...great. Not like I have anything to
help with that.' As he was about to go up to the next level, he heard
someone yell.

"Hey! Hey, you!"

Turning, Zell saw one of the guards coming towards him. Clenching a fist,
Zell started to ready himself for a battle. 'No! Can't do that! You're Ward!' As hard as it was, Zell relaxed his muscles, and waited for the man
to come over.

"What the hell are you doing up here?" The Guard asked him. "You're suppose to be down in the cell rooms cleaning!" He glared, "Or have you forgotten
that!?" He gave Ward an accusing look.

Zell just blinked at the man, and waited a few seconds before he started walking back towards the cells. 'I've seen what I need to see anyways.' As Zell walked down the stairs watched as the crane pulled up a cell from on one of the bottom levels. As it passed he leaned over the rail and watched
it disappear up top. 'I that be where they're holding,
Squall?'

Pushing off the rail, Zell walked back into the cell he had come from and grabbed a mop. As he started to clean he felt the same dizziness return to him, and the high pitch sound returned to his ears. Letting out a mental cry, Zell fell to his knees holding his head, 'Shit! I haven't seen enough!
No!'

He felt as if he were being pulled back by the belly button, and then
thrown forwards through the cell walls, and then everything was black.

The fist fighter returned to the feeling on nothing but pain. Groaning he shifted and turned on his side, slowly, he opened azul eyes and everything
slowly came into focus. "W-where...?" He asked in a raspy voice.

Quistis looked over, "We're still in the jail cell..." She said gently.

Zell sat up and cradled his aching head in his hands. He hardly saw a few
feet in front of him, everything was out of proportion. He could hear
footsteps coming towards him, and looked up, it was Selphie.

"Was it the dream world again?" She asked.

Zell nodded, "Yea." He said simply, "I was Ward..." Looking up he looked
around the cells, "He worked as a janitor in the cells." He squinted
slightly looking over at the door. "I know where the stairs are, and I think I have a faint idea on where they are keeping Squall, but I didn't
get a good enough look at the structures." He sighed, "These things are solid Titanium. I don't know if I could break it with my bare hands." He
said.

Quistis moved over to Zell, "Just rest for now...you've been through a lot."

Zell blinked and shook his head. "No...I have to get us out of here...It's my
fault we fucked up in the first place. If I didn't yell, we wouldn't be
here." He said. Slowly, he pushed himself up to his feet, "Besides," He gave Quistis a smirk, "I can't let Squall have all the fun of busting out
here." He gave her a 'Thumbs up'.

Just then, the cell door opened up. Turning the four looked over at the
door.

It was a group of three Galbadian soldiers and a guard, who was armed with a nightstick. Slowly, the Guard walked into the room, arm crossed over his
chest. "Alright," He gazed slowly at the group, "Which one of you is,
Heartilly." He asked.

'Don't say anything, Rinoa!' Zell prayed.

"I am." The girl pipped up. Standing she looked at them, "I'm Heartilly."

Zell slapped himself mentally, 'Nice going dipshit...' He really didn't like
the girl. She didn't know what she was doing when she hired them in the
first place. Her motives were clearly emotional, and SeeD didn't do
emotional work. He watched as Rinoa started walking towards the guards.

"Don't do it!" He said firmly, taking a step he moved in front of her, "Don't go." He said just loud enough so she could hear, "We break up, we
don't get out." He kept his eyes on the guard.

"Ah! A tough guy huh?!" The guards smirked. As he started at the blond standing in front of his target, he slowly realized that it was the same boy from the interrogation room, "How did you recover so fast...?" He asked more to himself than to anyone else. His eyes narrowed. "Move aside!" He
ordered.

Zell glared, and stood his ground, he looked down on the man. 'Finally,' he mused, 'Someone I'm taller than.' Zell planted his feet on the ground and
watched as the guard tightened his grip on the nightstick. "I'm not
moving." Zell said firmly. "You'll have to make me."

The guard let out a sigh, "If you say so." With that, he hit Zell as hard as he could in the side of the head with the nightstick. He watched as the blond stumbled and fell to his knees. He started kicking him in the ribs, over and over. He could feel the bones snapping with each kick, but the kid
never made a sound.

"Stop! That's enough!" Rinoa yelled.

She ran over, "I'll go!" She cried looking down at Zell, who was bleeding,
and gasping for breath. "I'll go, just stop hurting him!" She cried.

Zell looked up, "D-don't...do it." He barely managed to get out.

The guard looked down, "Quiet you!" He kicked Zell again, "C'mon!" He
grabbed Rinoa under the elbow and directed her out of the cell.

'No!' Zell tried to push himself up, but felt his arms give out, he landed
on his front, pain flared through him, and he passed out.

AN: You know what I've noticed...Out of all three chapters I have. Zell
passes out at the end of all of them....Shrug Oh well..

ANYWAYS! R&R Please! More reviews really gets me motivated. Really it does. Anyways. I might turn this Yaoi, I might not, I'm not sure what I'm doing with this. Ahh...Since I'm having issues trying to remember what happened, I'm thinking, that I'm going to get Squall into the story now...FYI!!! THIS
