It's time for another episode for I Want to Believe!

"Zell, I think that 2 gil is evidence. It's not enough for a hot dog anyway."

"But WHYYYY?"

"I can't –Oh! We're on, cue music!"

Zell laughs out loud.

Unidentified flying objects…

Entire civilizations erased from exsistence…

I have seen things…and I want to believe…

The video begins and Squall and Zell are standing in a familiar courtroom. Zell waves to the camera and Squall nudges him. "Hello, I am Squall Leonheart and I am here with my assistant Zell. We we contacted by our special source, whom shall remain nameless…" Zell butts in.

"Heh, heh, yeah!"

"…to look into the mysteries of the Ultros attack." Squall finished.

"Hi, nameless!" Zell waves to the screen. Squall grabs Zell by his jacket and pulls him to the center of the room. "Zell, get over there. Stand where I told you to."

"Oh no." Zell says as he walks up a ladder. Squall pulls the camera towards him. "My assistant is about to demonstrate the law of physics. This is why this case is not getting the proper attention it deserves. They believe it is just a case of a missing person, whom may be hiding intentionally." Squall look up. "Ready, Zell."

"Ok! This is what really happened." Zell could be heard yelling from above. "KA-DUUU!" he yelled as he plummeted down and crashed into the floor. Squall walks over and peers over the edge of the hole in the floor. Zell gets up slowly and shakes his head. It's the only thing you can see as he stands up. "Huh? Did the floor splash, cuz I think I'm under it."

Squall shakes his head. " No, Zell you didn't. However, you proved a vital point. You have showed the skeptics of the world that Locke did not just crash through the floor. It would have left an impressionable hole, like this one. Zell, don't get up from there, I have another experiment using you." He looked at the camera.

"Now we believe there could be several possiblities. We just have to see which one is correct. Zell, what is under there?"

Zell looks around. "Weird stuff, huh? Oh no, not again! It's—GAS!" He suddenly begins to slump over, but Squall grabs him before he collapses and slaps him.

"Snap out of it! Start digging around down there. Let us know what you find. You're my assistant now assist me." Squall lets out a sigh and turns back to the camera. "Now my colleagues, if you are wondering what we are looking for, we are in search of parallel dimensions. Perhaps Locke fell into Ultros' lair of some kind. I mean, this Ultros character obviously wasn't born from this world. Zell will hunt for the secret gate to his lair."

He taps his foot for a moment, then his face lights up for a moment. "Oh, I guess I should give him something in case he falls in and can't get out." He walks over to a table and tosses a camera at Zell. It hits him on the head and the flash goes off.

"Ugh!"

Squall squats down and points at him. "If you fall in, just take a picture of what it looks like and toss it back out."

Zell grins and flashes him an OK sign. " I shall dig." Squall waits there listening to his partner scuffle around below.

"Hey, this is something!" There's a flash.

"And this!" Another flash.

"Wow!" Two flashes.

"I don't know what this is but-" He takes a picture anyway.

His head pops out. "Hey, I found a box!"

Squall actually smiles at this. "Great! Evidence folks, of what may have happened to the missing bailiff. Give it here." Zell lets out a laugh.

"Yeah! Who needs those other guys when you got SeeD on the case." Suddenly Zell begins to sink. "Whoa, uhhn! Squall I'm sinking! KADU!" He reached out towards Squall who moves away looking disgusted at him.

"My shoe! It's, it's being absorbed! Quick, with my last effort, I shall throw you the box!" Zell tosses up the box and quickly falls to the ground. Squall catches it easily and gets up. "Thanks…now let's see…oh yeah! I want to see you get absorbed. Folks, I will record this fantastic experience and post it on the garden website. So here we go."

Squall moves the camera over and peers into the huge hole. He sighs with frustration as he sees Zell sliding backwards. "Zell you boob! You're not sinking, your foot is sliding backwards on a piece of plastic!"

Squall moves back and frowns at the camera. "Sorry folks, no parallel dimension. Well, let us keep this box and open it and the end of the show. I also have theories tghat suggest black holes, electrical storms, and pupus. Zell, get up here!"

Zell is still on the ground but obviously not going anywhere. "No, I'm absorbed!"

"No, you're not. Now get up here. I want you to look for black holes and electrical storms. Start over there." Squall points to the judge's stand. Zell still pouts. "But WHYYY? Look, no shoe!" He points to his foot that is shoeless.

Squall puts his hands on his hips. "I have your shoe. You wanted me to hold onto it when we got here." There is a moment of silence as Squall pulls out Zell's shoe from his pack and stares at it. Zell just stares back helplessly.

"I forgot to ask…why?" Squall looks at him confused.

Zell fidgets with his hands. "Because it was absorbed." He says softly.

Squall sighs, not wanting to press the matter. "Here's your shoe. Not absorbed! Well, we are running out of time, so let's find out what's in the box. Open it, Zell."

His partner jumps out of the hole and sits down on the floor with the wooden box between his legs. "Okay, hey it's a note!" He reads it out loud.

"It says, 'You're a- Tiggerbom? Ugh!" he yells out in frustration. "Oh wait, there's more. 'Go to Centra and watch the skies. Hmmm! Tiggerbom!" Zell looks to see who wrote the letter. "Why that-Urgh! Ifrit!"

Suddenly Ifrit pops out. "NOW THAT'S ENOUGH!"

Zell shakes a fist at him. "But—WHYYYY?"

Ifrit waves a nonchalant hand at him. "I'm busy." Then disappears.

Before Zell can reply, Squall grabs his arm. "Hold on a sec, there's a girl over there watching us, perhaps she's a witness. Excuse me miss."

Terra snaps out of her dreamy state and smiles bashfully at Squall. "Um, yes?"

"We have time for a few short questions. Did you see what happened here, miss..?"

"Oh, Terra Branford, the real reporter. Are you special forces?" She asks.

Zell nods. "We're lookin' to see what happened to the dude. No shoe." He points to his foot. She stares at it uneasily. "Uh, yes."

She turns back to Squall. He nods at her. "You could say that. We look into what many others are afraid to find. Did you witness the strange occurrence?"

"Well, it's hard to say. Some little stick girl keeps poking her nose into my work." She begins to fiddle with the lapels of his leather jacket. "She tries to be a reporter. She's so annoying! Her attitude is horrible, and her big mouth running all the time. Oh, you have no idea."

"Actually, we do know a girl like that." Zell responds. Terra simply pushes in front of him to get Squall's attention. "Oh, I saw some of what happened. Ultros attacked and after the fight he splashed into the floor. Bailiff Locke Cole tried to apprehend him, but-…THAT GIRL GOT IN THE WAY!"

Squall doesn't know if he can trust this girl's word. "Uh, OK. Well, there you have it. There's got to be reason for this. Why Locke? Where did he go? Will he return and in what condition? Will someone else be taken too?"

Squall stands in front of the camera and crosses his arms across his chest. "There have been reports of entire towns being taken by strange gates. Is Ultros behind it all? And-"

Terra swoons and drapes herself over Squall. "Hey, what are you doing?"

Suddenly Judge Gestal walks and looks around, furious. "Hey, who put this big hole here? Who's going to pay for that!"

Squall grabs Zell. "Damn! Miss let go! Zell, we've got to get out of here! Get her off of me!" Zell takes the shoe and tosses it at her. "Ow!" She let's go. The boys make a break for it. "Stay tuned for our next show!"

End.
