Quistis summoned her magic, quietly.

Waruitenshi discretely approached from behind Quistis and swung her katana at Quistis, swiftly.

Quistis rolled over and lifted herself to look at the girl.

Waruitenshi shook her head and pointed to Zell, "None of that!" She swung at Quistis's stomach.

Quistis quickly dodged it. She quickly struck Warui in the face with her chain whip.

Warui, with red streaked face, screamed and dropped her katana, running at Quistis wildly both hands outstretched in front of her.

Quistis raised a fist and dealt a severe blow to Warui's head.

Zell gawked, and fell unconscious, again.

Warui fell to the ground as Quistis used her Laser Eyes.

Quistis took a deep breath and looked back at Warui, lying on the floor silent, unmoving. She then looked to Squall and Yumenegau. Both were staring at Quistis, Squall stood motionless, Yumenegau with unmistakable anger.

Quistis clenched her whip tightly watching them.

Yumenegau walked slowly over to Warui's side and knelt down. Before he had actually looked at Warui he turned and charged at Quistis. In no time at all he had unsheathed a rather thin, but sharp, blade, most unlike his katana, earlier. It gave off a faint red glow as he charged at her. Quistis did the first thing that came to he mind and ran to the side.

Yume stopped breathing heavily staring at her. He let out an unintelligable yell and charged at her again.

Squall took the chance to cast Ultima on Yumenegau,as he charged.

Yumenegau was blown off of his feet and his blade flew from his hand, charring the floor as it struck.

Yumenegau jumped up from the blast a grabbed his blade, running twords Warui's twisted body lying on the ground. He stopped and turned back to the direction of Rinoa's prison.

Quistis took a step twords him, and Yume quickly cast Stop on her. He went to cast Stop on Squall, but Squall quickly moved, and Yume missed. Dismissing Squall's presence, Yume broke the barrier.

Squall gathered his energy for Renzokuken and attacked Yume hard.

Yume cast stop on Squall, he paniced and missed again. He cast float on Rinoa and his knees buckled. Squall had attacked him again.

Yume stood, his blade was in his hand in no time, and he sent a deadly slash towards Squall's neck.

Squall ducked it and kicked him hard in the knee, but Yume jumped. He cast Blizara.

Yume was hit hard with the ice, and started swinging his blade like mad at Squall, cutting him on the chest and arm, and missing the other times. He summoned his magic and cast Fira.

Squall was hit harder than expected with the fire. He summoned the Quezacotl.

Amazing how technical this is. I should've just gone ahead and written Squall waited for his attack gauge to refill before selecting "draw" with the pointer-arrow on the grey box at the bottom of the screen. If only the controllers would stop vibrating and giving the player seizures so she could focus without having a panic attack!

That would've gone over well, methinks.

Lightning struck the ground infront of Yume and a giant green and yellow bird appeared. Yumenegau was hit incredibly hard with the thunder storm and staggered a few steps forward before falling hard onto the cold floor.

Squall stood breathing deeply, holding his gunblade at his side, "What do you want?"

Yume took a few breaths and started to rise from the floor, when his back has hit hard by the Griever. He felt it cut him deeply, and collapsed back against the floor.

"Why do you want to kill me?" Squall spoke with a flat voice, no anger, no emotion, just flat.

"Warui isn't dead... If you kill me... She will finish it." he struggled for breath.

"Finish what?" Squall rested the tip of his blade slightly into Yume's back. His voice remained plain. 'How could he challenge me if he is so weak?'

Yume muttered some words Squall barely caught, "... She is... dumb blond... where does... get this... sorceress power..."

"Finish what?" Squall repeated, his voice well showing signs of irritation.

Yumenegau stopped. His body no longer lifted with breath, he made no sound, he lay motionless on the floor. 'Oh God... Is he dead?'

Squall starred at Yume's lifeless form. He looked back at Quistis and broke the Stop spell. Quistis fell to the ground with a small thump.

She immeadiatly got up and walked over to Squall, to stand beside him. "Is he... dead?"

Squall continued to stare at the body, he didn't respond.

Quistis looked over at Waruitenshi, who lay identically motionless on the stone black floor, "Is she dead..?"

Squall lifted his head slowly to glance at Waruitenshi, "No..." he looked back down at Yumenegau's body, "No... He said that she wasn't... but he said other things too..." Squall kneeled down and looked at Yume's face.

Yumenegau's eyes were opened fully in a look of suprise, a stream of blood ran from his mouth. Squall took Yumenegau and felt his wrist. 'A pulse?'

Squall stood up immeadiatly, dropping his gunblade by accident, "He's alive."

Yume rolled over and smiled, "You bet!"

Quistis backed up to use her chain whip. She was too late, Warui had risen from her spot on the ground, "Anak ipa tiamo misu!"

Yumenegau disappeared, followed by the sleeping Rinoa, and herself.

'The battle is not over yet, Squall... I dare you to be brave... I dare you.' The voice rang loud in Squall's head making him cringe at the pain. It echoed in his mind. 'I will destroy you, in any... and every... way possible.' Squall hit the floor hard, out cold.

It would have been funnier if the voice had just called him gay and giggled a bit. I would laugh at that.

Quistis cast a curaga on Zell, hoping it would stop his bleeding before he died from it. But for some strange reason, the spell did not work.

Quistis stood in the floor between the two. "What do I do now?"
