Final Fantasy VIII: The Musical

by GAU28

There's a better summary inside. This is to story of Final Fantasy 8, not all of it though, what I mean is, that these are just some scenes of the game, that I put some musical influence to, This is also humor and Romance, so you might like it!

10. Act 8

(Took me a while, but I'm back, anyway, here we go with the next act!)

Place: Zell's House/Galbadian Garden/Balamb Garden

Actors: Zell, Quistis, Squall, Seifer, Rinoa, Irvine, Selphie, and Cid

Time: First time entering Zell's room

Singers: Everyone mentioned above

Song: Will I (Will I, from the Musical 'Rent')

(The lights rise to see Zell sitting on his bed, his face buried in his hands. Squall is sitting on the ground, his gunblade in his hand. Quistis is looking out the window. Zell stands and looks at them)

Zell: Are we ready to go?

(Quistis looks over and nods. Squall simply stands and buckles his gunblade to one of his belts. He walks silently over to the others.)

Quistis: What's wrong Squall?

(Squall says nothing as he looks out the window)

Ellone's Voice: You're my only hope...

Quistis: Squall?

Squall: (Looking over) Yeah?

Quistis: You're off in your own world again...

Zell: Everything alright?

(Squall pauses, and then nods walking forward as the lights are dimming)

Squall: (Aside) I...Don't think I can do this, Sis...

(The lights dim on that scene and open up to Balamb Garden, in the middle of the stage. Selphie touches Rinoa's shoulder lightly.)

Rinoa: You think they're ok? They've been gone for a while.

Selphie: (Smiles) You can't get worried every time he's gone you know, it's not healthy.

Rinoa: (Defensively) I'm not worried! (She turns away and walks away slightly, but then looks

down.) I am...Aren't I?

(The lights dim on that scene and go a little above them, seeing Cid and Irvine at the bridge.)

Cid: Irvine...do you see what I see?

(Irvine looks out the window along with Cid)

Irvine: You mean that Garden...yeah, I see it.

Cid: And it doesn't bother you that the Sorceress has already made it her home?

(Irvine is silent for a while before he nods)

Irvine: In short, I'm pissed...I feel like I've played a hand at bringing her to power...seeing my
home like that...

(The lights go off as we switch to the last scene. Seifer is asleep in a strange device. Above him are four lights, the spirits that are tormenting him.)

Seifer: (Waking up) Where am I?

Spirit 1: Oh, he's awake!

Spirit 2: About time! The fun will start now!

(The voice of Seifer, though not from Seifer himself shouts out)

Spirit Seifer: Leave, now!

(Another figure of Seifer hangs above the Seifer who is now being released by two Galbadian soldiers. The spirit Seifer sighs and looks down as the four lights disappear)

Spirit Seifer: Look at what I've become...I'm not even myself anymore...

#The music starts, it's a soft tune that's very haunting#

(The lights come on to show all four scenes)

Squall:
Will I lose my dignity?
Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow
From, this nightmare?

(Spirit Seifer, Irvine, and Rinoa begin to sing as Squall holds the note)

Irvine, Seifer, and Rinoa:
Will I lose my dignity?Will someone care?
Will I wake tomorrow
From, this nightmare?

(The rest of the groups begins to sing along with them in a round, starting with Squall, Rinoa, and Spirit Seifer, then Zell and Quistis, then Irvine, Selphie, and Cid. As they're singing they are all walking forward until they are all standing in a line.)

Squall, Seifer, and Rinoa / Zell and Quistis / Irvine, Selphie, and Cid
Will I lose my dignity?
Will someone care/ Will I lose my dignity?
Will I wake tomorrow / Will someone care/ Will I lose my dignity?
From, this nightmare/ Will I wake tomorrow / Will someone care?
Will I lose my dignity/ From this nightmare/ Will I wake tomorrow
Will someone care/ Will I lose my dignity/ From this nightmare?
Will I wake tomorrow / Will someone care/ Will I lose my dignity?
From this nightmare/ Will I wake tomorrow / Will someone care?
Will I lose my dignity/ From this nightmare/ Will I wake tomorrow
Will someone care/ Will I lose my dignity/ From this nightmare?
Will I wake tomorrow / Will someone care/ Will I lose my dignity?
Will I lose my dignity/ Will I wake tomorrow/ Will someone care?
Will someone care/ From this nightmare/ Will I wake tomorrow
Will I wake tomorrow / Will I lose my dignity / From this nightmare!
From this nightmare/ Will I wake tomorrow /

All:
From this nightmare?

(The music stops as the lights go out on the middle, then the right, and then the left as the curtain closes)

Place: Balamb

Actors: Squall, Zell, Quistis, Fujin, and Raijin

Time: After the fight with Raijin and Fujin

Singers: Fujin

Song: What does he want of me? (What dose he want of me, From 'Man of La Mancha')

(Squall points his gunblade at Fujin, who is now lying on the ground with Raijin beside her. She and Raijin are breathing heavily. Zell is off to the side slightly, and Quistis is near Squall, her whip at the ready.)

Fujin: WELL? FINISH!

(Squall pulls back on his gunblade slightly, but Zell steps up)

Zell: Squall!

(Squall looks back to Zell and looks at him confused. Zell looks to Fujin and then to Raijin and sighs.)

Zell: Wait Squall.

(Zell walks to Squall and whispers in his ear. Squall looks confused to Zell, but then nods. He turns to the two of them and begins to ask some questions.)

Squall: Are the two of you taking orders from the sorceress?

Fujin NEGATIVE!

Raijin: The sorceress has nothin' to do with us, ya know? We're actin' on our own!

Squall: (Doubtful) Own plan...?

Raijin: We're on Seifer's side, ya know!

(Squall lowers his gunblade and watches them with softer eyes. Zell's eyes meet Fujin's and Zell looks away, slightly confused)

Squall: ...That's up to you, but... Enough is enough. This isn't an internal Garden conflict.

Raijin: We can't back out, ya know...

(Fujin nods in agreement)

Fujin: NEGATIVE.

Raijin: Seifer has a lot of followers, but we're his only friends...We're a posse, ya know...? The
Galbadian Soldiers are only listening to Seifer 'cause they fear the sorceress. Without us, Seifer wouldn't have a posse, ya know...?

(Zell walks forward and stares right at Fujin, as if she's the only one who understands)

Zell: If you guys stand behind him that much...Tell frickin' Seifer to stop this nonsense!

(Fujin is quiet for a moment, but she nods slightly)

Fujin AFFIRMATIVE!

(Fujin and Raijin look to Squall, who has put his gunblade away by now. Raijin stands and helps Fujin up. Fujin stands and looks once more to Zell. Taking this moment as an opportunity, Raijin runs out, followed by Fujin. As Fujin passes Zell he stops her and whispers in her ear.)

Zell: Be careful...

(Fujin is stopped suddenly by the words, but she pushes Zell away. Zell falls and looks up at Fujin)

Fujin: I CAREFUL? YOU CAREFUL CHICKEN!

(Zell looks down to the ground as the lights dim as Fujin runs from the stage. When the lights come back on we see the docks at night. Fujin is standing there, directing three Galbadian soldiers. The soldiers run off after a moment and Fujin is left all alone. Fujin looks out to the sea and smiles softly. She begins to hum a small, medieval sounding tune, very soft and colorful. As she is humming, Zell, from stage left, walks in slowly. As he enters to an extent he begins clapping, causing Fujin to become surprised and stop humming)

Fujin: WHAT WANT!

Zell: You're still here.

Fujin: WE LEAVE TONIGHT!

Zell: (Nods) Good, the people want you out of here; they have nothing to tell you.

Fujin: DAMN TOWN ANYHOW!

Zell: Now you don't really think that about your home? (A teasing smirk on his face)

Fujin: CHICKEN WUSS! THIS NOT HOME!

Zell: (Ignoring the nickname, Zell continues on) Then where is home.

(Fujin is perplexed for a moment. She walks up to Zell and grabs him by his jacket.)

Fujin: WHY HERE!

Zell: To talk

Fujin: WHY?

Zell: To learn.

Fujin: WHAT?

Zell: About you

(Fujin lets go, surprised, and steps back. Zell sighs and looks down)

Zell: Why do you follow him when you have to understand what he's doing is wrong?

Fujin: SEIFER FRIENDS

Zell: I know that! But why?

Fujin WHY CARE!

Zell: Why not?

Fujin: NOT YOUR STYLE

Zell: Not your style to hum, but that didn't stop you, now did it?

Fujin: I didn't ask you what my style is, now did I!

(Zell is taken back as he looks to Fujin in a whole new light.)

Zell: I didn't know you could talk right?

Fujin: I – (She stops herself before he turns around and shivers) MISTAKE

(Zell walks slowly towards her after a slight pause. He takes off his jacket and puts his around her shoulders. Fujin is confused by the act of kindness.)

Zell: Keep it, its cold... (He walks a way slightly, fearing her reaction) I have another at home just
like it

Fujin: ...Why?

Zell: You're cold...that's simple enough. I can't just leave a woman freezing. (He smiles and sits
down on a nearby barrel) My dad, before he died, used to tell me the story of a man who thought he was a knight, he called himself Don Quixote. My Ma' once said I'm just like him, very impulsive...He'd help anyone that was in need, no mater what.

(Fujin still hasn't looked at Zell. She keeps her eyes forced to the ground. She pulls the coat closer around herself slightly. Zell, watching her slightly, continues to talk.)

Zell: He had a lady, ya know? Like old time knights did. Her name was Aldonza, she was just
like you actually, very strong willed, but he continued to call her Dulcinea. She continued to believe he was crazy, but he could see the good in her, as I can see it in you...which is why I came here tonight. I wanted to ask you and Raijin to join us, you don't have to follow Seifer anymore. Quistis had a missive set up and everything...you know what I mean?

(Fujin turns to him, her one uncovered eye showing anger)

Zell: Well... (Nervously) as Don Quixote would say, "Nethermost hem of thy garment I would
touch my lady". I didn't want to startle you…but… (He stands and holds out the letter)

Fujin: YOUR LADY?

Zell: Well, I didn't mean that!

(Fujin slaps the letter from his hand and throws down his jacket. She removes her shuriken and gets ready to throw it.)

Zell: I didn't mean-!

Fujin: SHUT UP! (She throws the shuriken) SEIFER FRIEND, I FIGHT!

(A small fight ensues. Zell jumps over the shuriken and lands behind Fujin. Fujin catches her shuriken and turns, casting an Aero spell, blowing Zell backwards. Zell falls on his back and looks up to Fujin.)

Fujin: LEAVE!

(Zell stand and runs off, confused and seemingly disheartened. Fujin sighs and puts her Shuriken away.)

Fujin: WHY – (She stops and looks around her before continuing) Why would he expect me to
betray Seifer? After a small gesture, and some strange words he expects me to follow him? Damn... (She turns to the jacket and kicks in across the stage)

#Soft music starts, almost medieval sounding#

Fujin:

(He's as mad as Cid is! My lady...Hem of my Garment...Dulcinea...)

Why does he do the things he does?
Why does he do these things?
Why does he march
Through that dream that he's in,
Fighting the world in gloves made with tin
Why does he live in a world that can't be,
And what does he want of me...?
What does he want of me?

Why does he say the things he says?
Why does he say these things?
"Lady Dulcinea" and "missive" and such,
"Nethermost hem of thy garment I touch",
Why can't he see this is what I must be
Oh, what does he want of me...?
What does he want of me?

(She picks up the jacket, holding it as if it's a germ)

Doesn't he know
He is laughed at wherever he goes?
And why I'm not laughing myself...

(She is about to throw the jacket away but stops and pulls it slightly closer to herself)

I don't know.

Why does he want the things he wants?
Why does he want these things?
Why does he batter at walls that won't break?
Why does he give when it's natural to take?
Where does he see all the good he can see,
And what does he want of me?
What does he want of me?

(The lights dim as she holds the jacket closer and closes her eye.)

Place: Trabia Garden / Orphanage

Actors: The Heroes, Young Heroes, Young Seifer, Matron

Time: The memories are beginning to come back

Singers: Selphie, Quistis, Rinoa and a little bit of Matron

Song: Once upon a December / Lost inside their Memories (Once upon a December, from 'Anastasia', and a little of my own creation.)

(The lights come on to see the group sitting around on a basketball court. Squall in leaning against the pole of the basket, while Irvine is sitting down on some rubble. Zell is shadow boxing and Quistis and Rinoa are sitting on the ground, having a conversation. Selphie walks in, a slight sad look in her eyes, but she seems happy for some reason.)

Selphie: Sorry to keep you waiting! Thanks so much for coming all the way out here, everyone.

Irvine: Cheer up, eh?

Selphie: Thanks. Take me with you when you fight the sorceress, ok? I wanna get even. I want
my revenge!

Rinoa: (Nervously) Um...

(Everyone turns to Rinoa)

Rinoa: Do we...have to fight? Isn't there another way? Y'know, to avoid any bloodshed?

Zell: Yo? What the...? What are you sayin' all of a sudden?

Rinoa: Maybe someone really smart can come up with a way, so we wouldn't have to fight anymore...

Squall: What are you getting at...?

(Squall begins to think to himself, looking away from the group)

Squall: (Aside) If someone can come up with something, that'd be great...But no one's doing
anything...They're all scared, uneasy. All they do is complain. They just pretend to be thinking. They criticize others, but in the end, they can't do anything, either. (He looks over to Rinoa and continues to talk to himself) Rinoa, why all this, all of a sudden? What do you expect from me? I grew up in Garden. I'm a SeeD. Do you understand?

Rinoa: (Seeing that he's watching her smiles slightly) Squall? You have to voice your feelings, or
else I won't understand.

Squall: (Squall sighs before he talks lightly and slowly, as if not to offend) You were...part of a resistance movement in Timber, right? Unlike others who are all talk, you took to your weapons and fought...And now you're saying all this? What happened to you?

Rinoa: (Looks down) I guess...I'm getting scared. Sometimes...when I'm with all of you...I...feel
like we're on the same wavelength...you know? But when the battles start happening, it's different. Everyone's tempo seems to pick up and...I get left behind. I try to catch up, but it's no use...How far is everyone going? I can't hear anyone...Once I catch up, I wonder...Is everyone safe? Will they welcome me with open arms? ...Is everyone ok? Well we all make it back together? When I start thinking like that...

(Irvine steps forward and removes his hat, looking to the others)

Irvine: Rinoa, I understand. Someone might not be there. Someone you love may disappear
before your very eyes. It's tough when you live your life thinking that way. But that's why I fight...

(He picks up the basketball.)

Irvine: When I was a little kid...I was about 4 or so...I was in an orphanage.

(He shoots the ball, and it goes straight in. The scene behind them changes to show the orphanage where he grew up.)

Irvine: Plenty of kids...All with no parents...It was around the end of the Sorceress War, so I
guess it couldn't be helped. Anyway, that's where I was.

(There is a small scene between a young Irvine and a young Selphie. Selphie stand and looks to Irvine confused.)

Selphie: Was this orphanage...a stone house?

Irvine: You guessed it...

(Quistis walks forward slightly)

Quistis: And old house made of stone? ...By the ocean?

Irvine: Yeah! (Getting excited) Yeah! I knew from the day we met it was you guys!

Selphie: Heeey! Why didn't you tell us!

Quistis: Yeah! Why didn't you say anything?

Irvine: 'Cause you two seemed to have forgotten! (The scene behind them has become the orphanage now) It just kinda sucked that I was the only one who remembered...Spunky little Sefie and bossy little Quisty.

Selphie: That is just sooo weird...

Quistis: Huh?

(Zell walks forward as Young Zell wanders on in the background)

Zell: Hey...Do you remember setting off fireworks?

(The others are getting excited)

Quistis: Yeah! I remember writing on the wall a lot, and Selphie would draw pictures for them!

Selphie: Hee hee! I remember that!

Quistis: And the song, do you remember?

(Rinoa stands as Squall moves closer, standing near the whole group of orphans. Rinoa is off to the right side, separating herself from them.)

Rinoa: And now I'm all alone again...

Selphie and Quistis:

(Singing to no music)
In my heart,
In my dreams,
Glowing dim as an ember
We'll remember this today
When we are together
This is the song
That we sing
Once upon a December...

(The girls smile and look to the others)

Quistis: We would sing that every Christmas (A.N.: I don't know what they have, so I'm giving them Christmas)

Selphie: (Smiling) I can't believe we forgot...

#Music starts, it's a soft melody, as if from a music box. Behind them the scene unfolds, showing the characters as they were younger#

Selphie:
Dancing bears,
Painted wings,
Things I almost remember.
And a song someone sings
Once upon a December.

Quistis:
Someone holds me safe and warm.
Horses prance through a silver storm.
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...

(As the music plays, without the chanting, the group learns more about their past. They learn Seifer was with them as well, as were Squall and Ellone. Rinoa, sensing that this would be a bad time to interrupt moves off to the other side of the stage and softly begins to sing to herself)

Rinoa:
God I wish,
Someone knew,
The sadness I feel at this moment
Far away, Off they go
Lost inside of their memories

Why do I hold so much fear
That they will just leave me here?
Marching tempos all their own
And I am left alone!

Selphie:
Someone holds me safe and warm.

Quistis:
Horses prance through a silver storm.

Selphie and Quistis:
Figures dancing gracefully
Across my memory...

Selphie and Quistis / Rinoa:
Far away, long ago. / And I wish
Glowing dim as an ember. / that I could be with them!
Things my heart
Used to know/ But I'm left behind
Things it yearns to remember... / trying so hard to remember…

And a song / Oh that song

All Three:
Someone sings
Once upon a December...

(The scene continues on as Rinoa slowly wanders back to the others)

Place: Balamb / Galbadian Gardens

Actors: The Heroes, Cid, Nida, Xu, Seifer, Edea, Raijin, Fujin, Galbadian Soldiers, and SeeDs / Cadets

Time: Rallying the troops before the battle

Singers: Seifer, Galbadian Soldiers, Squall, SeeDs / Heroes

Song: Kill the SeeDs / Beasts (The Mob Song, from 'Beauty and the Beast')

(The scene opens with both gardens. Galbadian Garden is on the left and Balamb Garden is on the right. Squall is on the intercom, yelling out orders to the people of the Garden, and Seifer is yelling to his troops. Raijin and Fujin are at his sides, nodding as he says things.)

Seifer: We must not let any one SeeD live!

Soldiers: Yes Sir!

Seifer: They are the enemy, children, teenagers, old men; all of them are the ones that we shall

destroy!

Soldiers: Yes Sir!

Seifer: Now then! My soldiers! What must we do!

Soldiers: Kill the SeeDs!

#Music starts, it's like a march, with a drum beating in the background#

(In Balamb Garden, students and SeeDs alike are worried about the coming battle. They are pulling aside the other heroes in order to ask what's going on)

Soldier 1:
They will wish that all were dead!

(In Balamb, a SeeD is talking to Quistis)

SeeD:
They'll be stalking us till night

(The library girl is talking to Zell)

Library Girl:
Set to sacrifice our lives to ease their monstrous appetite!

Soldier 2:
We'll wreck havoc on their Garden,

Never let them wander free!

Seifer:
So it's time to take some action, boys

(Squall and Seifer are looking to their "troops" and shouting out to them)

Squall / Seifer:
It's time to follow me

(Squall and Seifer begin to sing off of one another, although in the play they both don't know it)

Seifer:
Through the mist, through the woods

Squall:
Through the darkness and the shadows
It's a nightmare –

Seifer:
But it's one exciting ride
Say a prayer, then we're there
In the middle of their garden

Squall:
And there's something truly terrible inside
They're like Beasts! Swords like Fangs!

(Irvine attempts to help out Squall, but after he sings he falls silent again, listening to Squall)

Irvine:
Razor sharp ones!

Squall:
Massive paws, killer claws for the feast

Seifer:
Hear our roar! See us foam!
But we're not coming home 'til they're dead--
Good and dead!
Kill the SeeDs!

Raijin:
(Seifer, this is our home man…I don't think this is right ya know?)

(Seifer, not listening, points as the soldiers move out into battle)

Seifer:
(Let them try and stop us!)

Fujin:
((Looking out to Balamb Garden) Zell... (She turns to Raijin) COME!)

Raijin:
(Where're we goin'?)

Fujin:
(DON'T ASK! GO!)

(Fujin runs of stage, Raijin follows. Squall continuing to try and rally the SeeDs, although they seem scared by this new threat)

Squall:
(...Everybody. This is Squall. How's everyone doing? You're all probably too tired to even stand up after all the fighting. But I want everyone to listen to me...We still have a chance to win, and I need your help. This is going to be our final battle. We're going to attack them before they come in again. To do that, we're going to head straight into their Garden. So I want everyone to prepare for a major collision. Take care of all the junior classmen. Irvine, Quistis, Zell and Selphie will lead the attack into their Garden. As for everyone else, please support them if you can. SeeD was formed to fight the sorceress; at least, that's what I heard. And Garden was created to train SeeDs. So this battle is Garden's destiny and also our destiny. It's a grueling battle, and I'm sure you guys are all exhausted. But I don't want to have any regrets. I don't want anyone to look back and regret this day. So just this once, I want you guys to give everything you've got! For yourselves and for me!)

(Nida turns towards the collection of SeeDs and cadets. He stands on a broken stairwell and begins to shout to the others)

Nida:
(Squall's right! We have to keep fighting! I'm not gonna stop, I'm gonna fight for Balamb, for Cid, and for Squall! Seifer and Edea are like beasts! And we must destroy him! Who's with me!)

SeeDs:
(I am! I am! I am!)

(The SeeDs, with renewed vigor, gather up their weapons and begin to rally themselves up, awaiting the impact)

SeeDs:
Light your torch! Mount your horse!

Nida:
Screw your courage to the sticking place!

SeeDs:
We're all counting on Squall to lead the way!
Through a mist, through a wood
Where within the enemy lines
Something's lurking that you don't see ev'ry day!It's a beast! One as tall as a mountain
We won't rest 'til they're good and deceased
Sally forth! Tally ho!
Grab your sword! Grab your bow!
Praise the Lord and here we go!
Kill the Beasts!

(As the battle rages on, The Heroes end up in Galbadian Garden. Fujin and Raijin are talking to them)

Raijin:
(We're getting out of here...do what you need to do, we just want to old Seifer back...)

(Fujin nods and then looks to Zell. Zell smiles but Fujin turns and runs off. The Heroes look to each other and sigh)

Squall:
(Alright, here we go...)

Rinoa:
(I'm...scared)

Quistis:
(We all are...this is something new to all of us...We don't know how powerful Matron...I mean, Edea is...)

Zell:
(Man! Why do we have to do this?)

Selphie:
(I don't understand!)

Heroes:
We don't like
What we don't understand
In fact it scares us
And her powers are mysterious at least

SeeDs / Soldiers:
Bring your guns!
Bring your knives!
Save your loved ones, banners high
We'll save our garden and our lives
We'll kill the Beasts/ We'll kill the SeeDs

(The battle continues on as the Heroes are wandering inside the Garden. Finally, when the final note is hit, Squall and the others come face to face with Seifer.)

SeeDs:
Hearts ablaze
Banners high
We go marching into battle
Unafraid although the danger's just increased

Soldiers:
Raise the flag!
Sing the song!
Here we come, we're fifty strong!
Our empress is never wrong!
We'll kill the SeeDs!

SeeDs:
Kill the Beasts!

Soldiers:
Kill the SeeDs

SeeDs / Soldiers:
Kill the Beasts/ Kill the SeeDs!

#The music stops abruptly#

Seifer; Oh, you guys shouldn't have...I was gonna come visit you at my old home.

(Seifer smirks as he pulls out the Hyperion)

Squall: Shut up.

Seifer: Did you guys come to fight Matron? After all she's done for us?

(Seifer notices each one of them, ready to fight and smiles, talking to each of them in turn.)

Seifer: Selphie, right? I wish we had time to get to know each other.

Selphie: Nahh. You're not my type.

(Selphie pulls out her weapon and gets in a fighting stance)

Seifer: Hey, you're a Galbadian student...What are you doing on there side! Get over here!

Irvine: I'm happy right here, thank you.

(Irvine growls and pulls out his gun. Seifer laughs and looks down to Zell)

Seifer: Hey Chicken-wuss. Lot's happened between us, eh?

Zell: Yeah! I'm dyin' to get even!

(Seifer laughs and looks over. He notices Rinoa and smiles)

Seifer: Rinoa, what are you doing here? You're gonna fight me, too? Come on, remember a year ago we...

Rinoa: (Cutting him off) Stop it!

(Seifer looks down to Quistis and smirks)

Seifer: Instructor Trepe

Quistis: Seifer...What's happened to you?

Seifer: Heh, I don't know why you care; This will be easy, fighting all of you.

Quistis: Seifer...

Squall: It's too late Seifer. You can't mess with our minds. To us, you're just another enemy, like one of those monsters.

(Seifer looks appalled as he growls and points his gunblade at Squall)

Seifer: You're comparing ME to one of them? I ain't no monster. I'm the sorceress' knight. And look at you. Attacking like a swarm. You guys are the monsters.

(A fight with Seifer ensues. After the battle, Seifer is left on the ground, beaten. Edea watches the battle. Once it ends she stands and turns to Seifer.)

Edea: Foolish boy...

(She turns to the Heroes and fazes through the floor. The group turns and runs off to find Edea. Quistis stops and turns back; watching Seifer for a moment, but then turns and leaves. Spirit Seifer appears behind the fallen Seifer. He watches Quistis until she leaves. He puts a hand to his heart and closes his eyes.)

Spirit Seifer: ...Quistis...What happened between us...you would leave me here?

(The four spirits appear behind him.)

Spirit 1: She doesn't love you.

Spirit 2: She never did.

Spirit 3: If she ever did, then it's gone now, I mean, you tired to kill her.

Spirit 4: She'll never trust you again.

Spirit Seifer: She loved me...

#Music starts, it's almost like a jazz song, but it's dark and harsh sounding#

(The Seifer on the ground stands and the Spirit Seifer shouts out in anger)

Spirit Seifer: If she doesn't love me! Than so be it! Quistis! I'm coming to see you!

(The Spirit Seifer glows and dives into Seifer. Seifer shouts out in pain, as if he's becoming another person. Spirit Seifer is thrown out.)

Spirit Seifer: (What happened!)

Spirit 1: (It happened! He's alive!)

Spirit Seifer: (What?)

(Seifer stands and picks up the Hyperion. He laughs an insane laugh, as if he's deranged. He begins walking forward.)

Dark Seifer:
What is this feeling
Of power and drive
I've never known?
I feel alive!

Where does this feeling
Of power derive,
Making me know
Why I'm alive?

Like the night, it's a secret,
Sinister dark and unknown.
I do not know what I seek,
Yet I'll seek it alone!

I have a thirst
That I cannot deprive.
Never have I felt so alive!

There is no battle
I couldn't survive -
Feeling like this -
Feeling alive!

Like the moon, an enigma,
Lost and alone in the night
Damned by some heavenly stigma,
But blazing with light!

It's the feeling of being alive!
Filled with evil, but truly alive!
It's the truth that cannot be denied!
It's the feeling of being

...Alive!

((I hope you all enjoyed it...I do like a few choices of songs, some of them I've had planned from the beginning. Anyway, see you all later everyone!))
