Chapter 2 --------- One week after receiving Rasputins powers, Whilst training with Rinoa at the special place outside of Edeas house, Squall receives a message from the prophet who contacted him before "You have trained well with youre sorcerer powers, Now you must learn about your prophet powers." "Who are you? How are you speaking to me?" Squall thought, shifting his weight to his other leg. "I am known as Biggs to those who know me. I am speaking by thought, We prophets are all connected. Their are only ever five prophets in existence at any one time. To find out more go to the hotel in Galbadia, we will meet at the bar, then we shall go to a more private place." Squall looks at Rinoa "Can my freinds come with me?" Squall thought, feeling weird talking like this. "No youre freinds cannot come, You can only bring Rinoa as she should learn aboute us, being the only sorceress of our time. I must go now, Come in three days at mid day." Rinoa looks at Squall and finally voices a thought she's been having for a few minuites "Youve been contacted again havent you?" Squall look's at her, mildly surprised "How did you know that? only prophets can read minds, Or I think they can when they know how." Rinoa laughs and Squall becomes confused and asks "Whats so funny?" which makes Rinoa laugh even more. Whe she finally stops she tells him. "Well you dont really need to have special powers to read your mind, Its written all over your face. You was surpised by the message, You then started thinking." "How do you know that?" asks Squall gettting more amazed. Rinoa puts her hand to her face and imitates Squall when he's thinking. Squall gets up and tackles Rinoa to the floor and cuddles her playfully before giving her a kiss. They both get up laughing "I guess you know me too well". Rinoa brushes of the dirt on her back and continues her explenation "After you thought aboute something you looked at me and was wondering if I was allowed to come with you, You looked away and was releived slightly. I guess i'm the only one allowed to come with you due to my powers." Squall's jaw was wide open untill he realised what he was doing and closed it. "Your right, we have to go to Galbadia in three days and it's just us." Rinoa gets up and pulls Squall up roughly "Well come on lets get going ". They get into a small red sports car parked nearby, Squall had bought it a few days ago so that he can take Rinoa to their special place. He starts up the engine and slams his foot onto the acelirater. The car speeds over the plains at one hundred and sixty mile per hour, Rinoa starts to look a little green so she jabs Squall in the ribs with her elbow causing him to turn and look at her. "Ooops sorry my little angel, Just a bit excited to be driving this thing" Rinoa looks at Squall and sees that he's sorry and he's slowing down "Your just as bad as Selphie". Back at Balamb garden a day later Squall and Rinoa join up with Selphie, Zell, Joeanne and will in the cafetaria. Zell's busy eating hot dogs whilst selphie talks to Rinoa and Squall aboute the message. Zell gives Joeanne an evil look as she kisses Will on the cheek. Quistis is still teaching as she had gotten her teachers license back. Irvine is still in Galbadia garden, he should be transferred soon which is lucky as Selphie is getting restless and wants to go up and drag him out. "Cid's given us all a new mision, we've got to go to tears point and wipe out a big monster that's shown up. He said it's come from space, but it's not from the moon. He said it was from the sun. The monster is extremly hot, So all we have to do is cool it down and finish it off." Rinoa was shocked by the news of the monster. Zell jumped up and cracked his knukles then went to get more hot dogs. Squall just sat thinking aboute what he should do. Meet the prophet or kill a huge fiery beast threatning his father. "Right lets go kill that thing" Squall finaly says. "Your going to Galbadia, Well take care of the monster." Quistis tells Squall as she walks into the cafetaria. "Yea well take care of it, besides ive fixed the force feild and it works against the strongest magic you can chuck at it." Will says. "If it comes near me ill slash it to death" Joeanne says, pointing at her arms which still had her two blades strapped on. "Ok I wont come, If you wanted to get rid of me you could have just asked" Squall put on a mock sad face which made everybody laugh including Irvine who had just walked through the door. "IRVY" selphie shouts as she jumps up, knocking the table over and grabbing his neck "Hey selph cut it out its hard to breath". Selphie let go of Irvines neck, Irvine grabbed Selphie and kissed her. Zell pulled selphie back muttering to himself "theirs a place for that and its not in the cafetaria" Selphie and Irvine pick up the table and sit down. Selphie notices Zells hotdogs and felt a twinge of guilt which soon vanished as she looked at Irvine. "Sorry Zell, I was just excited to have Irvy back" Zell, close to tears picked up the remains of his hot dogs and chucked them away. Suddenly a shout comes from the corridor "Cry baby Zell, lost his hot dogs" Zell turns around and runs out so fast that nobody knows what happened. "SEIFER" Zell shouts in rage as he leaves the cafetaria and sees Seifer running away to the right. Zell dashes after him and catches him by the lift "YOURE DEAD" Zell shouts as he tacles Seifer to the floor and starts punching him "Swatting flys am I" Zell starts kicking Seifer who has tears of pain rolling down his cheeks "Cry baby am I" Squall runs up and pulls Zell of Seifer "Zell get to headmaster Cid NOW" Squall shouts. Squall picks up seifer and carries him to the infirmary. Afterwards Squall goes to Cids office to hear Cid yelling at Zell. Whean Squall enters Cids office he sees Zell looking as calm as usuall and Cid wasent really angry, he just had to act like it. "Ah Squall, Rinoa has told be all aboute your message. You are ordered to go and meet the prophet, leave the monster to your freinds. Take your car. the others will use Ragnarock wich the presidant of ether kindly let up keep, thanks to you Squall." Squall turns around and enters the lift closely follewed by Zell "Zell I want you to take command on your mission, If you need any help ask Quistis". The lift stops and squall heads back to the cafetaria to get Rinoa. Squall and Rinoa get into Squalls car and drive along the rail track to timber before heading off to Galbadia. Zell, Quistis, Selphie, Irvine, Joeanne and Will all board the Ragnarock and fly to Ether. As the Ragnarock gets closer to Ether, the temperature seems to rise slightly. Soon they see the monster. It looks like a T-rex but three times bigger. The skin looks like red hot molten lava which gives off large heat waves. The face of this monster was vaguely human and the eye's looked like normal human eyes but much bigger red. "Oh shit, How are we supposed to fight that thing" Zell askes looking worried "We can use my sheild's" Will says "they dont last very long so we have to kill it before they run out" "How long do they last?" Quistis asks "aboute fifteen minuites". Selphie who is in the drivers seat, turns around "Why dont we all use Blizzard magic at the same time, maybe if we cool it down enough it wont be able to move" Selphie turns back around and continues driving. Laguna contacts them on the radio and tells them to see him first before fighting the monster. Selphie lands the Ragnarock at the airport. Everybody gets out and they all walk to lagunas mansion. At the mansion Laguna tells them what the monster is. "Thanks for coming, wheir's Squall and Rinoa" laguna asks. "Squall and Rinoa have gone to Galbadia, Squalls to meet a prophet" answears Joeanne "Oh, ok I was hoping to see him. Will Odine wants to speak with you" Will leaves to speak with odine then comes back in "We have sheilds for everybody, Odines just made them." Laguna walks over to his desk and sits gently on the edge "Ok, youre probebly wondering what that thing is. two hundred years ago Ether was experimenting with cloning techniques and combineing genetics. Monsters weir the test subjects. Due to the dangers of this we did it in space on a space station before the luna lab. That monster broke out and destroyed everything before leaving into space, heading away from our planet and into the sun. We thought that was the last of it but it has grown and become more powerfull. It wants to kill all humans because of what we did. Its only weakness is ice, It cant stand the cold." Laguna gets up and walks over to the window and points to the monster clearly visible "We have to kill it before it kills us" Zell looks up and starts saying"Ok, you can count on us, well kill that son of a" Quistis buts in "ZELL, no swearing in front of the president"Leave it to us" The group leave with Zell in front. They board the Ragnarock and take off. They fly to tears point. "Ok we have our plan, Get ready for a fight. Make sure you have a sheild equipped" Quistis orderd. "Selphie take us down". The Ragnarock flies down and lands next to tears point, Everybody gets out and runs towards the monster. Meanwhile Squall and Rinoa are enjoying a gentle ride to Galbadia. They are aboute half an hour away. Rinoa keeps laughing as Squall turns into a different member of the party in turn and does an impression of each them. "And now for the ugliest member of our party" Squall says. Rinoa looks at him with a daring look as the only person he hasent done yet is her. Squall changes from being Selphie driving madly and shouting woo hoo to himself making Rinoa laugh even more "Squall, youre not ugly. Youre the most handsome guy in garden" Squall looks smug and straightens his jacket "You really think so, Well watch me turn into the most beutifull women i've ever seen" Squall then stops the car and turns into Rinoa copying her every move. "Squall I told you not to turn into me" Rinoa tries to say but burst out laughing again as Squall was mimeing along. Squall turns back to normal and drives on, turning into lots of other people from garden and making Rinoa laugh. when Rinoa stops laughing she looks at Squall and notices that hes thinking aboute something. "Whats wrong?" Rinoa asks Squall, Squall starts "Rinoa I really love love you ... " Rinoa butts in "I love you too but whats wrong?" "You said their was something really important you had to tell me, Ive been thinking aboute it since, What if its really bad or you dont love me, or that you have to move away". Rinoa laughs slightly, looking releived to know whats bothering Squall. "Its nothing bad" she says "Im pregnant" Squall looks at her feeling shocked, surprised and happy "Rinoa that great news, when we get back well celebrate. Must remember to get some hotdogs for Zell" Squall kisses Rinoa. They cuddle for a few hours before setting off for galbadia. The sun sets slowly as Squall drives along. Rinoa gives Squall a kiss and they admire the sunset together. They get to Galbadia without incident. Squall parks his car and they head towards the hotel. As Squall and Rinoa walk along slowly, thinking aboute the baby, two gunshots go off. Squall jumps at Rinoa and pulls her down. the bullets had just missed by inches "Come on, Somebodys trying to kill us" Squall shouts, Rinoa nods to show she understands. They both get up and run to cover around a nearby shop. Squall looks back and notices a dark figure retreating into the shadow further up the street, "Come on we have to go NOW" Squall whispers as he grabs Rinoas arm. They run for the hotel and let loose a sigh of releif as they enter the main door. Squall walks up to the main desk and talks to the hotel assistent "im Squall leonhaert, I booked a room four days ago" the assistent looks at the hotel bookings book "Ah yes, single room, Double bed and your meeting a group of people at the bar in half an hour" Squall's surprised "How did you know that?" he asks "The people youre meeting told me to tell you. I dont know what it's aboute." Squall thanks the assitant and pays for the room. Rinoa wanders into the bar and gets a drink. She's half finished when Squall comes in. Squall looks at her half finished drink with surprise, "thirsty are you, hope thats not alcohol?" he asks Rinoa looks up having just finished the rest "No its cola, You made me laugh too much so I got thirsty" They get more drinks and sit down at a table. Later after two more drinks Squall notices four tall people dressed in long black cloaks covering thier faces and speaking in a quite whisper talking the the assistent. The assistent points to Squall and one of the cloaked figures turns around to look at Squall. Squall's releived to see that this man had a pleasant smile on his face. The Cloaked people walk over to Squall and Rinoa. Two of the figures pull out needles, whilst the other two hold Squall and Rinoa so that they can be injected. Squall protests and struggles but the needle gets put in. Squalls vision starts getting blury, Rinoa crys for help and is soon silenced by the cloaked figures. Squall stops struggling and callapses to a heap on the floor, everything is black. When Zell and the others get to the the monster they are even more shocked than before by it's height. Zell could easily use the monsters foot as a bed, if it wasent so hot and attached to the rest of the monster. If it wasent for the sheilds they would get crushed in seconds, instead it will take them fifteen minuites to get crushed. How do you defeat such a big thing in fifteen minuites? Zell immidiatly starts giving out orders to the rest of the team. "Selph you go to the right foot, use your ice magic. Quistis you take left foot. Will and Joeanne I want you to work together, take out its underside. Im going to take shiva and fly on up to the big brutes head" "How you gonna fly" asks Will "Easy I took back my hoverboard that got confiscated at garden. I made a few modifications and upgrades." The party gets into position ready to fight. The monster spots them and attempts to stamp on them only to have his foot stopped by the sheilds. Next it releases a huge amount of heat from its body then covers the party in the lava that makes up its skin. The lava cools and is smashed. Zell grabs his hoverboard and flys up to its head, he then summons shiva who does her power ice attack. The monsters head dulls a bit before regaining its previose colour. Zell repeats this attack a few times along with some blizzard magic. Down on the floor Selphie isent having much look with the right leg which keeps trying to stomp on her. She dodges to the left and is knocked down by the vibrations of the foot hitting the floor, she gets up and blast the sole of the foot with her blizzard magig. The foot cools and Selphy lets out a whoop but the foot heats up again causing selphy to look on in horror. Over at the left foot Quistis has managed to freeze a toe and is using her whip to try and break it off. The toe breaks and goes rolling away and remains innactive. Realising how to injure the evil beast Quistis shouts her discovery to the rest of the team. Will and Joeanne are working together extremely well, Will freezes the underside of the monster and Joeanne uses Will to reach to underside which she slashes creating large gashes wheir large chunks of magma rock fall out and roll away. Up near the head Zell has frozen the monsters nose and jumped onto it, looking it straight in the eye Zell uses blizzard on the eyes then he punches them causing the monster to shreik in agony. Unfornately for Zell the monster swung its head round with full force flinging Zell off at full force. Zell flies quite a distance away from the battle, when he lands on the ground he is instantly knoked out. Selphie tries to run and help Zell but Quistis shouts at her to continue with the battle. Selphie turns back and continues attacking the monsters right foot which had lost all it's toes and now has a large gash in the middle of the foot. The monster now in a lot of pain collapses as its feet are getting smaller, It starts to fall forwards. Quistis stumbles and tries to get up, Joeanne pulls Quistis up and they run out of the way. Selphie continues attacking, furious that thin thing is threatning sir Laguna. Will picks her up and slumps her over his shoulder "Hey I wanna kill taht thing" Selphy shouts but sees that the monster has just fallen weir she and Quis had been standing moments before "Oh, Um, Thanks I guess" Selphie says feeling a little embarrased. Will puts Selphy down who runs over to Zell. Irvine appears out of the Ragnarock now that he feels he can be usefull. Irvine walks over to the monster now lying on its stomach, sniper rifle in hand. He stop just in front of the monsters face, aims his gun at its face and shoots. A blue bullet trailing a blue mist shoots out the end of the gun and hits the monster in the forehead. The bullet forces its way through half the body before stopping in the centre. Their it cools the core of the monster which slowly solidifys. When it is fully slodified Zell walks up slowly, supported by Selphy "Great job Irvy" Selphy says as she passes Irvine. When Zell reaches the monster he place three charges around the edge of it. Everybody moves away as the monster blows up sending up a shower of dust raining down on them. They all clap and cheer when the sheilds all fizz out after running out of power. "I wonder how Squall and Rinoa are doing?" Selphie asks, "Their fine, after all nothin could threaten those two" Zell answears. Irvine walks over to selphie and gives Selphie a cuddle, whilst Joeanne walks over to Will and kisses him. Zell and Quistis look at each other and shake hands. Afterwards evrybody gets back onto the Ragnarock, Which takes off hastily and starts doing loop the loops and sharp turns before heading off to meet Laguna to tell him what happened. As Squall comes around he realises that hes in a dimly lit room without Rinoa. He tries to get up but hes been strapped down and can only move his head. "RINOA" Squall shouts "RINOAAA" Squall tries feircly to get up but the straps hold. Suddenly in a flash of inspiration Squall turns into a young boy, Himself when he was younger and wriggles free of the straps. He then turns back and runs to the door. The doors locked and Squall has been stripped of all his possetion exept clothes. Squall runs sideways into the door, which holds. Squall runs again and again untill hes physically exausted and he collapses on the floor. "Squall somebody knew of our plans, they took you before we could meet. Somebody in our group must be a spy" says Biggs the prophet who contacted Squall before. "We cant risk exposure, and yet me must get you out" Squall thought for a moment then it hit him "do you know my location?" Squall asks biggs. "Yes you at the abandoned research centre out at sea. It has been renevated A research group interested in our powers use it to conduct tests. We have contacted the presidant of Ether, he will tell your freinds who should rescue you. We have to go now" Squall gets up and starts pacing the room thinking aboute what biggs has said and worrying aboute Rinoa. After his sixth time around the room the door blows up and Zell walks in grinning "Zell im so glad you found me, we have to find Rinoa I think shes in trouble." "No problem the rest of the gang are searching the rest of the rooms, We've met these weird cloaked dudes who attaked us. I think we killed most of them, are they the ones who attacked you?". Squall nods. Squall and Zell leave the room into a corridor of aboute twenty door. Squalls door was at the end. All the other doors had already been blown open. They follow the corridor leading to a stairway down, they encounter a few hooded figures who are soon killed by Zell. At the bottom of the stairway a door is clearly marked weapons. Squall kicks the door down and looks around. Spotting his and Rinoas weapons he picks them up and runs along the corridor. At the end of the corridor Irvine stands comforting Selphie who has burst into tears. As Squall turns into the room the sight shocks him. In the small brightly lit room their is a lot of medical equipment and weird devices. In the centre of the room is a operating table. Lying on the table Rinoa had been subjected to test and had wires all over. Shes breathing through the use of a machine and pipes come out of her arm taking away blood and putting it back after it has been analized. Her stomach had been cut open and crudely stiched back together. Her baby is gone lying dead in a large glass tube in a corner of the room. Squall collapsed and broke down crying, hes lost his baby and they have done awfull things to Rinoa. The machines keeping Rinoa shut down by remote, Killing her. Squall shudders with greif as he grabs Rinoas head and tries to get her back but theirs nothing he can do. Squall picks up his sword that hed dropped at the door and lifts it up, he turns it around and jams it into his own heart. But before it reaches his heart the room starts spinning and dissolves into blackness. Blackness surrounds Squall as he gets up. Squall looks around and sees nothing. "RINOA" Squall shouts. Three prophets appear in the blackness. "Squall we have brought you to the Void. This is the place we draw our power from. We have found the traighter and he has been killed. We have a replacement but he needs to be trained as a prophet like you." Squall turns angrily to the prophet who was speaking "You must be Biggs, I dont care about prophets, I dont care aboute power All I want is Rinoa back" Biggs shakes his head "You can get Rinoa back but a prophet has to lose his powers in order to heal her and return her spirit to her body" Squall looks up at this news "I'll do it, I dont want to have any powers. All I want is Rinoa" Biggs chuckles and points to his right. Rinoa appears and looks at Squall "Squall, how did I get hear?" Squall looking overjoyed runs towards Rinoa and hugs her tightly "I'll tell you later, im just glad your allright." Squall tells her. "So i've lost my powers now then, Right?" Squall asks. Biggs turns to Squall "No we have used the powers of the traiter to rectify the damage he has done. Rinoa still has her baby and when you return she or your freinds wont remember any of this. We will teach you about your powers later after we have found a secure location to meet, You see you cant learn in the Void as its too powerfull. Well goodbye untill next time" Biggs claps his hands and the black void gets replaced by Garden. Ragnarock has been moved to the Garden hanger. Later in the day, in the cafetaria a Squall and the rest of the party are celebrating the news of the baby. Squall kept Rinoas death to himself. Rinoas a bit suspects something as Squall has been showing her how much he loves her more than usual. "It's the baby" Squall assured her. Zell happily stuffs his face with the best hotdogs in the world provide by Squall. Selphy and Irvine argue with each other. Selphy thinks its great for Rinoa to have a baby but she wants one as well, whilst Irvine not to sure aboute having a baby "Come on selph we have the rest of our lives to have a baby, Besides it wont be very good for our careers" Selphy playfully hits Irvine and they kiss. Joeanne and Will seem to argue a lot at the moment. Will's thinking aboute quitting Garden and developing better sheids for seed's whilst Joeanne is attracted to Zell. She tells him she wants to go on a date, Zell chokes on his hotdog "Really, you mean it? sure". Quistis goes back to her teaching job, feeling slightly l onely. Finally Seifer has stopped calling Zell a chicken wuss, but now he has started calling him Berserker. Squall takes Rinoa to the special place in Edeas garden and they talk aboute the baby. When the baby is born Squall wants to Quit seed and devote himself fully to Rinoa and the baby. They also discuss baby names and they go through a whole list of names. To show Rinoa how much he loves her Squall give her his Greiver ring. "Rinoa, Would you marry me" Squall asks and turns bright red. Rinoa looks surpised, "Squall I dont know what to say, Of coarse ill marry you" They kiss and cuddle for a long time watching the stars come out.
