Odine: Yez thiz iz the one. (*sighs)
Leon: YEAH!
Odine: My precious baby iz dead wahhhhhhhh!!!! (*wails like a child)
Laguna: At last Squall you can rest in peace and so as your Uncle Kiros.
Odine: (*At Leon) So... If you want to keep it as a trophy, you can do so but if you don't want then I'll ask my men to drag the corpse. So what do you reckon?
Leon: Headmaster Cid will be coming today, I will ask his opinion about this then we'll let you know. Coz. If I have to make the decision to myself, I will definitely get rid of this ...junk. There's no point of keeping a decaying reptile.
Odine: (*Gasps) (*~j-junk? JUNK? You're calling my beautiful creation a junk? Let's see who's going to be a junk when you meet my "real" baby he he he)

Laguna: You still owe me something.
Odine: Vhat?
Laguna: Come on, you just killed my SON and his UNCLE!
Odine: Me? Are you accusing me for your zon'z death?
Leon: Calm down Mr. Laguna.
Laguna: But he.
Leon: (*sighs) (*at Odine) Just say you're sorry Odine then you can die.. I mean you can go.
Odine: VHAT? B-but? Argghhhh alright! ZORRY!
Laguna: I can tell.. you're not sincere with it.
Odine: (*~Arghhh!) (*kneels then with watery eyes) I'm zo zorry! Please forgive me. (*blowing his nose at his own sleeves)
Laguna: Ahh why do I bother to ask you to say sorry... I'll never EVER forgive you for what you did to my son and to my best pal. (*tears start to fill his eyes) Even if you said I'm sorry for a billion times, it will not change the fact ...that my son is DEAD! HE'S NOW DEAD BECAUSE OF YOU!!! YOU AND YOUR UGLY EXPERIMENTS!!! (*pointing at Odine)
Odine: (*hiding behind Leon) I zaid I-I'm zorry (*gives out a fake sob) Leon, Pleaze help me..he wantz to hurt ...the poor handzome zcientizt!

Leon: (*at Odine) Hey will you stop hiding behind me and he's after you, not me. (*shoves him aside)
Odine: AHHHH!!! Nooo!!
Laguna: (*approaching Odine) ......
Odine: AHHHHH HE'S GOING TO KILL ME AHHH!!!! (*closes his eyes) (*he felt someone's hand on his shoulders) (*~Oh no he'z going to choke me to death!)
Laguna: (*Tapping Odine's shoulders) (*sighs) Forgiven
Odine: Huh? (*he slowly opens his eyes) Vhat did you zay?
Laguna: (*turning his back at Odine) Do I have to repeat that again? Or do you want me to change my mind?
Odine: Really?
Leon: Mr. Loire?
Laguna: It's now over.. The dragon's dead. There's no point of holding this grudge against him...am I right (*turning to see Leon, then he smiles) Leon?
Leon: Mr. Loire.. (*he slowly nods at the smiling clown) (*switching his eye at Odine) Now go! Before his grudge reach me.
Odine: OHHH THANK you!! (*bowing) Thank you zo much! I'll never forget thiz day! (*runs away) (*~I'll get you two next time!)

Fujin: HE Killed my father... (*still crying) and that boy.
Seifer: (*puzzled) You can now speak clearly! (*faint smile)

The Author: Whew at last this chapter is done and I can pass this to Fanfiction.net he he he. Again, I would like to apologize for not updating for a month. (Blame it all to my cpu) Now it's 95% ok (arghhh they took my head phone and my usb ports .darn!) But nonetheless, I can use my pc though not as good as before.. (Hmm I can smell a rotten scheme here, maybe...er I don't want to accuse people.) Ok welp until next time, yes there is a next time. It's time to unfold the not so mysterious past of these characters. GOD Speed!
