Enumasam

Chapter 42: Reminisce

Selphie and Yuffie stood a few yards away from the Squall clone and the swirling pillar of greenish blue light that was behind him.

"Well now Mr. Clone it's time you paid for what you've done or what you're planning on doing!" Selphie cheerfully said not a worry in the world as she swung one end of her nunchuk at the enemy in a quick attack which was easily deflected via sword. Yuffie threw her shuriken after the blocked attack and it was also sent back at her with the clone's blade. They weren't trying just testing some of their enemy's abilities, prodding his defenses.

"Haste." Selphie said and sped up greatly before closing the gap between her and the clone with Yuffie following suit. With the both of them moving that fast it was a blur of colors swinging her nunchuku and slashing with her shuriken. The duo of spunky teens were all over the clone but he had yet to even take a step forward or backward, he stood in place and was only using his upper body to deflect and defend whilst also attacking at the same speed the two girls were using to fight with.

"Hmph!" Selphie was slightly impressed as her own nunchuku made contact with the clone's right side of his head, knocking a chunk of metal and getting a hiss out of the Squall look-alike. While he was distracted Yuffie danced around him in circles taking out small slivers of his body until he finally created a shield of Life Stream energy around him knocking the two back towards Sephiroth. The clone pulled the missing pieces back into himself healing the wounds they had created until he was in his fighting form again.

"Where's Rinoa? I miss her," the clone inquired to the three warriors as his eyes seemed to soften before he grabbed the sides of his head and fell to his knees, sword against his right temple.

"Rinoa?" Yuffie turned to Sephiroth for answers along with Selphie.

"He has feelings and memories of the past that Rinoa and the actual Squall had had together. Which is the reason he killed Seifer as well, unfortunately this clone acts upon irrational emotions because it is a mistake. Two beings of the exact same memories and emotions though one choosing to act upon them is a mistake." Sephiroth explained as the metal menace stood to its' feet once again.

"You call me the mistake? You humans and your emotions you hide and don't act upon, pathetic!" He spat out as his left hand turned into five razor sharp metal talons while he held his broadsword in his right. He was upon Selphie in a second, she had time to block his claws but his sword cut a small gash in her right cheek as she stumbled backward to be caught by her lover.

"Is that why you killed Seifer?!" Selphie yelled while she corrected herself to stand beside Yuffie. The ninja threw her giant shuriken at the clone, who's barrier had finally dropped where it was dodged by him backflipping into the air. Selphie's right nunchuku end caught the fiend in his ribs and smashed him from out of the sky into the ground face first.

"I killed Seifer…poor Seifer." He said standing slowly and mumbling "I should have gave him a warrior's death," his head hung downward until he began to laugh. "Ahaha now why would I do that?'' It seemed as if he were asking himself, sarcastically. "I always HATED him!" He stressed before he jumped forward at the two warriors.

'It is as I figured this clone has human emotions though it acts illogically, but with some sense. If you don't like something what would you do? Destroy it am I right?' Sephiroth mused watching the three battle at a very high rate of speed.

"I NEVER had anything against you Selphie, but it seems you're going to try and stop me from ruling this world!" Squall's doppelganger shouted his sword blocked by the spunky teen's left chuk after which he brought his left claw downward at the girl's face only to have it blocked by Yuffie's night-black shuriken. That didn't quite stop him as he drove his left foot into the ninja's stomach knocking her down to the ground in a cloud of dust.

"Well Selphie looks like it's time for me to end you as well, such a shame," he continued "no more Festivals for you!" He pulled his left hand back that had been blocked by the now downed ninja and struck Selphie across her chest, before spinning and cutting her with his sword through her stomach. She was thrown from the force beside her girlfriend in a heap, which Yuffie quickly attended to.

"Baby! Oh no!" Yuffie dropped her shuriken and crawled over to where Selphie lay, luckily she was still conscious but bleeding badly.

"Cure." Yuffie whispered as a light shone from her into Selphie's wounds sealing them up. Though it may have been too late.

Yuffie thought back about how she had first met the teen, her hiding in the rafters of the infirmary, curious as to what exactly had happened to her once she fell down that well. The Doctor outside of Esthar and how they had done evil things to him, which he deserved. The dead official in Deling and the dance they had attended. It all washed over her and tears began to stream down her face.

"Hah, honey, whatcha cryin' for?" Selphie innocently asked the ninja as her head laid in her lap.

"Oh just about how we first met, and some of the stuff we have been through." She responded.

There was a noise kind of like a cat purring that came from the injured fighter. "Hah, yeah, me an you have had a wild ride, don't get so down the wounds shouldn't be fatal, but I'm out of this battle and you should be too, dear," Selphie mused with a smile on her face.

"Not yet, I've got one more thing I want to try and then if it doesn't work I'll let Sephiroth take over." Yuffie kissed her girl and lay her head back down for her to rest before she retrieved her shuriken and took a few steps towards the clone who had been watching the whole scene.

"Aww is she too weak to fight now?" Squall the second mimicked twirling his sword into the air and catching it.

"Yeah, but it doesn't matter." Yuffie claimed as she stood one foot directly beside the other and held her shuriken above her head.

Purple and blue energy gathered into a huge circle above her with the bottom of the two dimensional design almost touching her head. The circle had deep purple energy on the outer rings turning bluer and bluer towards the middle.

"A specialty that I learned in my hometown of Wutai…" The energy pulsed in the middle now causing the air around her to become denser until she concentrated a huge beam from the center of the circle to release itself at the unknowing clone.

"All Creation!" She shouted as the beam struck the metal menace at full force. A loud shrieking could be heard that caused Sephiroth to cover his ears as the sound of shredding metal filled the air.
