Squall paced up and down the corridor. The three women had been in the room for most of the day. Ellone had come to him earlier asking for a room and giving him an explanation that it was of up most importance that she be left alone for the rest of the day with Rinoa and Matron. He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair. Soon the door opened and one tired Rinoa walked out. She looked at him and then smiled grimly. He nodded and pulled her into a hug. They stayed like that for along time,
~*~
"So Ultimacia has Julia?" Zell stated as the large group that had become a family sat around the table.
Ellone nodded, "She's using her to alter time. She can do this because Julia has a power that goes beyond what all three of us who have powers can do." She pointed at Rinoa and Matron who were sitting to her right.
"And what does she plan to alter?" Quistis asked as she was sitting next to Seifer.
"She wants what you did in the past to fad. She wants her plan to work. She wants to destroy us all." Laguna said from his seat next to Squall.
"So what are we to do?" Selphie asked as she absentmindedly rubbed her stomach and the new life growing inside.
"Well we have formulated a plane that might work." Matron said with a little hesitation
"It means that the three of us go to the Sorceress Memorial and call on the power that Julia is using to travel between the times and bring about the time compression again." Rinoa said point blank.
"Isn't there a chance that it might destroy you all?" Irvine asked looking to Rinoa and then to the others around the table
"Yes, but I'm willing to risk it for my daughter." Rinoa said standing up and leaning on the table.
"Then that settles it. Selphie prepare the ship. We're all going to Ethstar." Squall said from his seat and then left the room as fast as he had come in.
Rinoa blinked and then fell into the chair. She was all alone when she came back from her dream state. 'I'm going to die.' She said in her mind and then placed her head on the table to cry.
~*~
The wind blew her now blue hair into her eyes. She narrowed them as she watched the red ship she knew so well approach the monument. She growled and then flexed her muscles. This was a fight she would have to think hard about.
'Is my plans going as predicted' A voice rang in her head.
'It is my lady, they are coming to set what they want right again' Julia growled back
'Good' the voice replied and was gone in an instant.
'Good is right' Julia thought to herself as she watched the group come towards her
~*~
"Why couldn't we come along?" Lily whined as she kicked the wall she and Dante where sitting on. Raymond sat below them
"Because we're not as important to the group as we think we are." Dante snuffed and copied Lily's feet movements.
"You weren't even there at the incident." Raymond said poking his head up from his laptop.
"Well? your right who am I kidding." Dante said in defeat
"It's ok. I still like you unlike the chicken wuss here." Lily said with a laugh.
Raymond stuck his tong out and flipped her off.
"Fuck you to buddy." She replied jumping off the wall and then kicking the chair.
"Owe my virgin ears." Dante said playfully
"Hey honey the only thing virgin on you is your nose and your ears and those have already been fingered as well." Raymond said in a gay sounding voice eliciting giggles from the others.
~*~
"So what do we do?" Rinoa said wrapping the dark brown leather duster around her waist.
"First we have to join hand and then." Ellone was cut off by the sounds of growls
"You can never reach the point that you want to." The voice said
The three women turned around and were greeted with the sight of the blue lioness. Rinoa gasped and then fell to the ground. Ellone rushed to her side. Matron stood there calmly.
"Your attempts will be futile." Julia hissed
"W?WH?why?" Rinoa sputtered
"Because you're precious Matron does not have her powers anymore. Time will begin to change. It has across the rest of time. But for some reason it has not reshaped itself right here"
"It has not because of the spirit of your mother and father." Matron said with a sigh
"Well I hate them. I hate them all. Prepare to suffer a fate worse then death." She hissed.
~*~
"What's taking so long?" Selphie mumbled as she swung the flail around then bouncing back and forth.
"Calm down Sel. you're just as antsy as Zell is." Irvine said from his spot against the ship.
"Then how come I've even got the creeps?" Seifer stated
Squall nodded at Seifer's comment. He could feel something in his blood that was not unlike what the others could feel.
"I think it's time for some action." Zell said punching the air and then running down the path.
Squall motioned for the rest to follow. They ran down the path only to be greeted with a battle they never had expected.
~*~
"Where's your little sis?" Raymond asked Dante
Dante looked up from the card game he was sharing with Lily. "Oh Nida said he'd take care of her while mom and dad went on this mission." He said and then laid down his card
Lily looked at the board and placed a card down causing a flip over of one of Dante's cards. Dante smiled and then laid down the card he was saving. It flipped over ever card on the board that was not his. Lily began to curse but stopped when she felt an eerie chill creep into her bones.
"Did you feel that?" Raymond said to the two of them
Both nodded.
"I think the apocalypse is coming. And even though my mom jokes that I'm going to bring it. I think I'm not the one." Dante said with an uneasy laugh as the three teenagers turned to look at the sky as it began to turn bright crimson.
~*~
"My plan it is working. I am gaining what power I had lost." A voice crowed
The beast girl smiled as a woman appeared in front of her. She smiled sadistically at the bodies that lay unconscious on the ground. She kneeled as the woman placed her hand on her shoulder.
"What work you have done my beauty. You have exceeded my expectations." She smirked and then began to walk among the bodies.
Rinoa cocked open her eyes. A trickle of blood trailed down her face. Next to her she spied Squall's body. The monster that had been her daughter too had injured him. He was looking right at her. She desperately reached out her hand for his but the woman kicked it away. Then with a force that Rinoa could only guess was magic she was flung from her position on the ground to a painful standing position. The same was done to Squall.
Ultimacia walked between the two and eyed them. She brought a long finger up to Squall's check and dragged the nail down causing it to spout his life's blood on to his white dress shirt. Ultimacia grinned evilly.
"You think you kan kome and destroy the likes of me with love." She sneered and the pointed towards the demon that Julia had become. "Your silly notions that love can save have turned your own daughter against you. How do you feel about that?" She said with triumph in her face
"Proud." Squall spat out
Rinoa was stunned. She looked towards Julia who was shifting uncomfortable on the balls of her paws. Ultimacia squinted her eyes, as she looked Squall over.
"Why proud? You did not even know you had a daughter until she disappeared from the world. Does that mean a person has to die for you to love them?" She asked with a sly undertone
"I would have been proud of her if I was there for her." He looked at Julia
"Would you?" She sneered
Squall looked towards his daughter and then to Rinoa. "I may have not got to see her grow up like the rest of my friends and family, but she had turned into such a bright young woman. She was going to be a good?" Ultimacia brought her hand into contact with Squall's face causing the blood that was on his check to splatter over onto Rinoa.
The part of Julia that was trapped inside the body of Griever gasped as she watched as the evil sorceress hurt the man who had just admitted to being her father. She began to struggle with the demon.
'Love always wins. Love can conquer all.' She kept repeating to herself as she fought.
"DADDY!" She screamed and then fell to the ground.
(A/N: Music moment: Think 'Ring' a song from Please Save My Earth for this earth shattering scene)
Light began to flash around the memorial. All who were unconscious were now awaking. The light became too intense for them. For Julia it was painful. Her body was raised from the ground. She watched as the fur flew off her skin and light replaced it. Her body began it transmogrification back to the body it once was. She could feel the demon leave her body and her soul become clean.
Rinoa watched with awe as her daughter transformation into a higher power happened. She could feel the magic pulse through her and she found herself liking hands with Ellone and Matron who had come up beside her. She closed her eyes and began to chant unfamiliar words that seemed now familiar. She could tell Ellone and Matron were chanting along with her.
Excitate vow e somno, liberi Mei.
Cunae non sunt.
Excitate vow e somno, liberi fatali.
Somnus non eat.
(Wake up from your dream, my children.
There is no cradle.
Wake up from your dreams, fated children.
The dream is not going.)
Ardente veritate
Urite mala mundi.
Ardente veritate
Incendite tenebras mundi.
(Burn with truth Scorch the world of evil.
Burn with truth
Set fire to the world of darkness)
As they reached their final note of the chant, Julia's body appeared from the cocoon of light. Her naked skin glowed and shimmered with the fading light that she had created. Out of her back came two white angelic wings. Near to her back there were gold cuffs that seem to blaze in the crimson of the sky. Her arms and legs were crossed across her body hiding her naked body from the eyes of every one. Ultimacia began to shudder as Julia unfolded her body. As she extended her body, her eyes flicked open showing that her eyes were no longer the brown they had once been but now they were the deep grey eyes that her father was known for.
At that time the three sorceresses fell to the ground. The group ran to their sides. Julia turned and smiled to them as they pulled their bodies to safety. She then turned her attention back to Ultimacia coming as close as she could to the evil witch. She smiled and placed a kiss on her brow. Cherry blossoms began to swirl around the two women. Ultimacia's eyes clouded over and in an instant her body turned to dust.
Julia then floated up into the sky and disappeared. The ground then began to shake. Rinoa looked into the sky and smiled. Her daughter had become an angel, they way she had always wanted her to become. Then her world turned black.
~*~
Rinoa could feel the breeze come in off the window. Cracking open her eyes she could tell she was in the infirmary of Garden. She smiled and then looked around. In the chair next to the bed was Squall. He was asleep and looked peaceful. Something she had not seen since their first night together. She tried to stretch the stiff body when the door opened. In came Irvine he wore a smile. She felt confused but when he stepped away a girl dressed in a white Grecian style dress entered behind him. Rinoa bolted out of the bed and ran towards the girl. She grasped the girl in a close embrace and began to cry.
"Julia, your alive. Your alive." Rinoa sobbed
"I missed you mom." Julia cried back
Squall, who had woken up when Rinoa had yelled their daughter?s name, was standing back from the scene waiting for his turn. When Rinoa finally let go of their daughter, Squall swooped in and locked the two in a bear hug. The little group was on it's way to becoming a family.
~*~
(Ending Credits time, the music playing in the back ground is'Little Light of Love' from the fifth element soundtrack. Mental picture time)
The setting is a party in Garden's massive ballroom. People are gathered around tables and there are people dancing on the dance floor. The camera swings around to focus on two people. The woman who we can see is Rinoa is dressed in a long white gown with thin straps and a shear almost transparent over coat over top of the dress. Squall is standing next to her in his SeeD uniform. They wave to the camera and the person who is filming waves back. They then motion for the person who is filming to come in front of the camera. The person declines but then hands of the camera and comes to stand in front of them. It's Julia in her SeeD uniform. Julia waves and then runs behind the camera.
She swings it around to focus on Lily who is standing with Raymond and Dante they wave and then Dante runs up towards the camera motioning Julia to follow him. He points to Seifer dressed in his SeeD uniform and Quistis who is dressed in a short halter dress with matching peach shrug. They are dancing with Phoebe who is wearing a frilly peach dress with lots of lace and wearing a crown of peach tinted roses on her head.
They laugh and Dante motions to Irvine and Selphie. She is wearing a long peach dress and patting her stomach. Lily jumps into the picture and starts to make fun of her mother's large stomach and gets a strong lecture from her parents. Raymond comes and gets the camera from Julia and Julia and Dante Jump in front of the camera and lead Raymond to see the twins who are trying to coax Lily into being their leader, only to have Lixue chase Lily off camera in anger. Zell pops on screen with his mouth full of hotdogs (Not a funny as in the ending credits of VIII but still as funny) He chased the camera off and then Raymond flipped it around to Julia and Dante who had disappeared. The low battery comes on and all we get to see is Dante giving her another leather bound book. Julia gasps and the screen goes black.
THE END
A/N: I'm planning on a sequel cause I need to discuss a few more issues that I feel need to be address but that's for another story.
