Zack was laying back resting himself, the injury on his leg was actually pretty severe, though it had been healed up somewhat and wrapped up. Auron was now searching some of the drawers in the desks around the room they were in. Beatrix was actually pulling the metal spikes from the dead iron maidens and was cleaning them. She had them all collected soon while Seifer sharpened them to be used later on as a throwing spear of sorts. There was no light down there, except from the cellar door's cracks. Seifer of course decided to light up the place with some fire coming from one of his hands as he took a closer look at some of the papers.
"Alright so it says here those enemies were called Iron Maidens. They were once humans and were infected and experimented on to become what they did." spoke Seifer.
"Wait those things were once human?" asked Beatrix.
Seifer nodded and they all shivered a bit at the thought of that. "That's just not right." spoke Zack.
Auron nodded in agreement as he pocketed the papers. Soon they found a bag and put them in it, the bag also had a hammer, some nails, the sharpened metal pieces in it. They found two vials to add to their supplies of antidote and put them into the bag as well.
"Man I'm starving, I know food is scarce in these parts, in fact it's been hard to find anything so far, but still." spoke Zack.
"Yeah I agree there, but I don't see anything down here." spoke Seifer.
Zack's head dropped and Seifer sat down next to him punching his shoulder lightly. "Hey cheer up, at least we're not alone, right?" asked Seifer.
Zack looked up and gave his smile, that smile that could light up a room. Seifer was actually taken aback a little by it, though he'd seen Cloud, Zack was nothing like him. He was more outgoing, more goofy, more well...human. Seifer wasn't about to pretend that he didn't feel something from that smile. What it was he didn't know, he had always known though that he wasn't exactly straight. The rivalry between him and Squall, for him had been something more, though he'd never said anything to Squall and probably never would. Even so, Seifer had a few escapades during his travels as the sorceress knight.
"Yo, don't start turning into Cloud on me." spoke Zack.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" asked Seifer.
"The inner monologue crap is so Cloud." spoke Zack.
"But you get along with Cloud." spoke Seifer.
"Yeah, but you're not supposed to turn into him." spoke Zack smiling.
Seifer grinned and spoke. "Nah, not my style. I'm more of the outgoing type." he spoke.
"Good you had me worried there for a second with how much you were thinking." spoke Zack.
"What's wrong with thinking?" asked Seifer.
"Nothing, just don't hurt yourself." joked Zack.
"Psh, as if." spoke Seifer.
"so what were you thinking about anyway?" asked Zack poking Seifer's shoulder.
"Oh you know, my past." spoke Seifer.
"What about your past?" asked Zack.
"Believe it or not I wasn't a goodie goodie. I took the side with Ultimecea, lots of people said it was because she was controlling me, but I don't know if that was entirely true. I mean I went with her because I wanted to fulfill my romantic dream. Which was to be a knight, which was to be so much more." spoke Seifer.
"That sounds pretty rough actually. So you were on the opposite side of Squall?" asked Zack.
"Always been that way, we fought so many times, gave each other these scars and everything." spoke Seifer.
Zack of course being as smart as he was, had seen that sort of look before in the eyes, the look of unrequited love. He instantly felt bad for Seifer, he'd seen it with Cissnei, though to say he hadn't liked her or hell, even flirted with her, he could have dated her he supposed, but it would have been kinda weird at the time. He wondered what had happened to her, but he was sure she was married with kids somewhere.
"Does he know how you really felt about him?" asked Zack.
"No, hell no. You think about it, it's like talking to a wall." spoke Seifer.
"Yeah Cloud and he do seem really alike." spoke Zack.
"They are, f*cking twins. Though Cloud's just not as cute." spoke Seifer.
Zack laughed then. "You didn't see him when he was a young fifteen year old blonde dream boat." spoke Zack.
"Oh, were you looking?" spoke Seifer teasing Zack.
Zack thought about it for a second and then smirked. "Well you're the first to notice how I really felt." he spoke.
"Whoa, really?" asked Seifer.
"Yeah, I was dating Aerith at the time. But I was just not the type to settle down so easily, plus it was more like a crush between us, she and I. Cissnei was around, and she was cute, Cloud same. Not that he ever knew." spoke Zack.
Seifer nodded and Zack spoke next again. "So you used to pick on Squall because you liked him? I mean a rivalry is pretty intense and requires fighting." spoke Zack.
"Yeah I picked on him a little because of that, but also because he was so closed off and I wanted him to realize he wasn't alone. Even if it was the wrong way of going about it." spoke Seifer.
"Maybe it was, but at least you probably gave him more attention then others did." spoke Zack.
"That's not entirely true, I just made it obvious that I wanted to be close to him somehow. Too bad he never really figured that out. Now he's just close to my ex, Rinoa." spoke Seifer.
"Your ex?" asked Zack.
"Hey we all date the girl at some point, now I gotta say I like women as well as men, but she and I weren't really serious." spoke Seifer.
"Sounds like Aerith and I way back when, not really serious." spoke Zack.
"Well I'm sure it was serious to some extent and could have become more if you hadn't died, right?" spoke Seifer.
"I'm not sure, Cloud does seem better with her." spoke Zack.
"Yeah I mean Squall and Rinoa are absolutely perfect." spoke Seifer.
As they both sat there bonding over being lonely, Seifer did notice Zack's hand move over his, gloved and all but still it felt nice. Seifer hadn't actually dated in such a long time, and he wasn't sure if it was just a fellow loneliness with Zack he felt or something more, either way it was comforting. Zack lay his head on Seifer's shoulder, and Seifer smirked a little. This was when Auron spoke up from near them.
"Found some food over here, a couple of eggs, not sure how old they are and Kuja will need to purify them before we can eat them." spoke his deep tone.
"That's good, I'm feeling a little weak from hunger myself." spoke Beatrix.
"Now that's not a word I'd associate with a woman like you." spoke Auron looking to her.
She laughed a little and then spoke. "Yeah, I was the general after all, had to earn that position." she spoke. Auron moved and sat down next to her, she then spoke curiously.
"So you and Tifa, I have to admit I didn't see it coming." spoke Beatrix.
"Oh? Why not?" asked Auron.
"You're not as pretty as Cloud. But you're definitely a strong man, my type of man. After all Steiner and you are alike in wanting to protect others." spoke Beatrix.
"Ah well you know, once a woman actually matures they look passed the looks." spoke Auron.
"Yes but has she really matured that much?" asked Beatrix.
"You know I'm not sure, I'm not sure if we'll last or not. But I want to try with her. When I first met her, she was so hung up on him. Even so, I talked with her and tried to help her. Maybe at first it was my basic instinct to be that way with her, a helping friend. But it became more, slowly and gradually." spoke Auron.
"That's kind of how true love works, yes it's a spontaneous meeting, and it's unexpected. But if it's a genuine connection it will develop into more." spoke Beatrix.
"Yes you are correct, you seem like a happily married woman who was with the love of her life. But I'm not sure you'll see him here." spoke Auron.
"No I don't think I will, I've only seen one from my world here, Kuja that is. Even so I know why I'm here and what I need to do. I'm a leader, a strong woman, and a guardian. I have to be help to the others here in that way." spoke Beatrix.
"But what about after the battle here?" asked Auron.
"There will never be a time without a battle Auron, the world we are in is just as much in turmoil as our old ones. Maybe in a different way, but there is always strife and turmoil around us." spoke Beatrix.
"Wiser words have never been spoken." spoke Auron with a smirk.
"Besides you owe me a sword dual." spoke Beatrix.
Auron chuckled a bit. "Well I guess I do." he spoke.
Beatrix punched his arm a little and he smirked as they lay back keeping guard for the others who were going deeper into the cellar.
- Meanwhile with Laguna-
Cid was recovering slowly while Marlene and Angelo were sitting next to him. Laguna looked over at Vanille who looked up at the sky as snow began to fall. "It's snowing." spoke her accented tone.
Laguna nodded and they moved inside the hut where Cid was resting and went ahead and barred it up so the cold couldn't get in. However that's when they heard the voices and looked out seeing villagers coming with torches and pitch forks. Laguna gave an exasperated sigh as Vanille got ready to fight along his side. However just as they were, bullets wrung out and they saw a woman with a long ponytail, wearing a pair of shorts, boots, and a white shirt with a Y symbol on it. She held two guns in her hands as she ran up. She then transformed her clothes as they turned their attention towards her and she was wearing a kimono with the long ponytail now gone and in its place a few beads in her hair. She was holding a staff and she began to dance a special dance and out of it came Valefor.
The summon was unfamiliar to them, but they knew it was on their side as it unleashed a few sonic attacks before unleashing a beam of energy and killing the villagers. The woman turned to look at them with a smile as Valefor left. She walked over and bowed before looking at them with one blue eye, and one green eye.
"Hello I'm Yuna." she said.
"I'm Laguna, this is Vanille." spoke Laguna.
She looked at them in confusion. "Well so are you the only two here?" asked Yuna.
"No, of course not." spoke Vanille's accented tone.
Laguna began to explain what they had gone through up until then and the people they had met, by the end Yuna's eyes were wide.
"Auron's here!? I know him!" she exclaimed.
"Well he's investigating the nearby cellar, but when they get back I'm sure he'll be happy to see you." spoke Laguna.
Yuna nodded and went inside with them, she saw Cid and began to use her curing magics on him which were stronger then Laguna's or Vanille's, she also casted a life spell on him which had extra healing energies, Cid slept more peacefully once she had done that. Marlene looked up at Yuna and smiled at her, Yuna kneeled down next to Marlene and pet Angelo's head a little.
"Well I'm glad I came along when I did." spoke Yuna.
"Wait are you the summoner Auron spoke of who can send people's souls?" asked Laguna.
Yuna nodded and looked to Laguna as if asking why. "Well we could have used your help, but luckily Lenne came along when she did." spoke Laguna.
"Wait Lenne is here?! She was dead in my world long ago." spoke Yuna.
"Well a lot of people have come back from the dead here." spoke Vanille's accented tone.
Yuna slowly nodded and began to think, she'd found Tidus in her world after two years of not being with him, they'd been together there, she didn't know if he'd be here or not, even so she hoped she'd see more people who had been lost who shouldn't have been. Vanille sat down next to Cid while Laguna went out to look for food for them, as he began to walk he came across a rather large farm with some live chickens. He began to look through them and found a couple of eggs, walking back with them, he knew they weren't pure, but perhaps Yuna could help. Yuna looked at the eggs a bit when he got back and began to purify them. Vanille started a fire in the fireplace, while Laguna began to cook the eggs on one of the pans which he'd washed.
This was when Cid slowly began to awaken and he saw Yuna. "Well hello there little missy." spoke Cid.
Yuna actually smiled a little. "You remind me of a man named Jecht." she said.
"Oh really?" asked Cid sitting up.
"Yes he was my father's guardian." she said.
"Good man?" asked Cid.
"Yes but he had to learn to be better, was a sort of journey for him." spoke Yuna.
"Ah well, was a journey for me to marry Shera. I mean at first I didn't treat her right at all, but eventually I figured it out that she was the one for me, ya know?" spoke Cid.
Yuna nodded and spoke. "Some men are just rough around the edges." she said.
Cid nodded as the eggs were served and they all began to eat, digging in as they ate with need of nourishment. Finally once they were done, Cid went back to sleep, Marlene crawling up next to him while Angelo slept at the foot of the bed. Yuna walked outside looking around in her summoner outfit, Vanille came out and looked to her.
"You look bothered by something." spoke Vanille.
"Oh no, I was just thinking. If Auron's here, I wonder who else could be." spoke Yuna.
"Well if they showed up, the people you lost, what would you say to them?" asked Vanille.
"I'd say the words we said were wrong, that in this world I'd want a second chance with them all." spoke Yuna.
"That's something you should keep with you, your words. Say them when you can." spoke Vanille.
Yuna nodded and looked to Vanille curiously. "Do you have anything you want to say?" she asked.
Vanille sighed as she thought about it. "I have made mistakes in my day, and learned to move forward. It has always been tough to learn forgiveness for myself. I'm not sure what is ahead of me now. I suppose I haven't really thought about it. Except that I still have my marking, meaning I have to find my focus here before becoming a monster. The thing is, in the other universe it was clear, we had to summon Ragnarok, we did but...but we turned to crystal when we completed our focus. But what is our focus in this universe?" asked Vanille.
"Your focus?" asked Yuna.
"The ones with this mark." spoke Vanille revealing it, Yuna nodded then she she saw it.
"I'm sure you'll find it." spoke Yuna.
Vanille sighed and shook her head. "I have to or else...or else..." spoke her now shaking tone, tears had began to fall and Yuna ran over and hugged her, knowing that they would make it through this, she had made it through worse after all.
-Meanwhile with Aerith-
They had reached a split into two rooms, Cloud moved his hand around Aerith's as she looked around. They decided to split up which was when Squall and Rinoa came across a switch, they pushed it but it was obviously not working, which was when Aerith and Cloud spotted another.
"Maybe if we press them at the same time?" asked Aerith.
"Perhaps, but we're not sure of the ramifications that could produce." spoke Squall.
"It's freezing and disgusting down here little flower." spoke Kuja to Aerith.
"Got tired of dove?" she asked.
"I change my nicknames depending on what I feel like. Alas still, a gorgeous flower like myself or you could wilt down here." spoke Kuja.
Aerith giggled as Sephiroth chuckled as well at his boyfriend's antics. Which was when Tifa noticed something in the corner, it was breathing just like the iron maidens had.
"Guys I think it's waiting for us to make a move." spoke Tifa.
"So if we do it'll attack." spoke Lightning.
"Not a smart move then." spoke Fang's accented tone.
Vincent got his gun ready and cocked as he looked to Aerith who looked to him curiously. Lenne moved next to Vincent preparing a summon in case, and Vincent nodded. They pushed the switches at the same time, hearing the cellar door open and unlock, they then saw about seven Iron Maidens come forth. Lenne was the first to move as she summoned Leviathan, the legendary sea snake summoned water which hit one of the Iron Maidens harshly, Lenne then danced and summoned a second summon which was Diablos and Atomos, both of the creatures did massive damage to two of the Iron Maidens before she felt more power fill her up and she summoned Hades and Cerberus. Hades killed one of them while Cerberus powered up Aerith's magical powers. Aerith casted her wind and earth magics on one, while Vincent shot it full of bullets and killed it as well.
Lightning moved then summoning Odin who did massive damage to one of them as she then filled it with bullets and killed it as well. Kuja unleashed his summoning skills then as he summoned Bahamut, Neo Bahamut, Bahamut Zero, and Tiamat. The four legendary dragons did massive damage killing them all before villagers literally rose from the ashes from the ground they were standing on. Sephiroth unleashed several dark flare attacks as did Kuja with flares of his own, Lightning unleashed a few lightning spells, as she began to slice them down with her gunblade, Squall moved in next and summoned Shiva, Nix, and Stiria, the three ladies froze a few of them which he sliced down with his gun blade. Rinoa's wings came out fully and she casted a few bio spells before using her Shooting Star and gunblade to take down quite a few of them. Vincent unleashed a few comets on one of them as Aerith bludgeoned the villager down. Cloud moved in then and casted slow on a few of them before he sliced them down with skill. Tifa unleashing blizzard and fire spells as they came at her and she punched and kicked them down. Fang of course was using her spear as she took them down with ease before using her ability draw damage, making sure she taunted them enough and provoked them to keep them off the others. This gave Kuja the opportunity to unleash a few ultima spells. It was practically an endless wave of them at this point.
Lenne closed her eyes then and dropped to her knees, feeling her summoning powers come to their full, she grasped the dirt below and sang out a terrible song of destruction as she summoned Eden and Madeen. The others moved away from the summons, seeing their ungodly powers. Madeen unleashed its holy powers killing most of them before Eden killed the rest with its amazing strength as well, they then disappeared. Lenne fainted then, feeling her energy drained, they all panted for breath as Vincent caught Lenne. They returned to the others who had seen the door come undone as they exited the cellar. They made their way back to the hut where Auron saw Yuna and she ran up hugging him.
