THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA Chapter #3 By: Jbond007 E-mail: enriquetellez@hotmail.com ICQ #: 9910141 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well folks, after receiving some critics and suggestions, I finally decided to start Chapter #3 of this your favorite ff8 fan fiction. I hope you like this chapter the way you liked the other ones. This chapter is one of the most important of my fan fiction. Donīt miss reading it all! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Think, think, think, THINK. These were the only words in Krelianīs mind. He was struggling all night to find out when was the exact time for the revival of the Weapons. He struggled to understand what the words "When the King Star if covered by a Black Moon, the gate uniting this world and the Weapon world, will open for 1 minute and a half" meant. He couldnīt sleep for all night long. He didnīt know what the King Star nor the Black Moon were. When he finally got some sleep, it was 6 a.m. already, and he planned to wake up at 8. The 2 hour sleep was enough for him that day. All the emotion and curiosity he had made him forget he didnīt sleep very well. Krelian took a bath, equiped all his magics/GFīs and his gunblade and went outside. He was thirsty, so he went to Balamb Café to drink some orange juice. In the café, he found the Balamb Newspaper. "What the damn. Ill read the news to relax a bit. Hmm, what is this?", said Krelian. There was an article of the second page of the newspaper titled: "First Solar Eclipse of this year". Krelian read eagerly through the article and... "I have it! The King Star is the sun and black moon is the one that will cover the sun in the eclipse. Damn, how come I didnīt guess it. So the event marking the revival is a Solar Eclipse. Yeesss, I can now prepare for the time. But wait a minute, this article doesnīt say at what time the eclipse will take place. "I know, Iīll ask the guy next to me," said Krelian with an extremely happy voice. "What is it?" said the man next to Krelian. "Sir, at what time is the solar eclipse taking place?" "OHh Boy. If you havenīt noticed, Balamb is almost empty. Everyone went outside and are finding a nice place to see the eclipse. You see boy, the eclipse starts in 15 minutes. "Oh DAMN! Im late, I thought it would be later on. I need to get to the mountain fast," said Krelian with desperate voice. "What did you say? Well, you just go on ahead. I donīt like this type of events, so Iīll stay here," said the man. Krelian ran as fast as he could. He knew it took him at least 2 hours to reach the peak of the mountain, so he used Warp magic to reach there faster. Krelian warped almost immediately there and saw his watch. Only 10 minutes until the eclipse now readers! "Puff, puff. Im glad I remembered about this magic. Well, I think Iīll just wait here until the King Star is covered by the black moon," said Krelian with unpatient voice. Meanwhile, Quistis went to the dorms to check that no one was left behind. Quistis wanted everyone to see the eclipse. She then went to Aerithīs room and found her still asleep. "Come on! It almost time for the eclipse," said Quistis while removing the blankets. "I donīt want to see it! Just let me sleep," said Aerith screaming. "Itīs Ok. I know some people donīt like seeing it from outside. I have a small group of students in the bridge ready to see the eclipse. I will also see it from there. Why donīt you come see it with us?" said Quistis. "Well, ok. Iīll be there in a couple of minutes," said Aerith. "OK, donīt take too much time. It will start almost now," said Quistis while leaving the room. Aerith took a very, very short shower and went to the bridge. Only 4 minutes for the eclipse. "Finally we are back in Balamb. I canīt wait to see Quistis face when she sees we returned earlier," said Zell. Squall, Rinoa, Irvine, Selphie and Zell came back 12 hours earlier. They wanted to give Quistis a big surprise. They had to travel all night long to return to Balamb earlier, so they were all tired. "Hey Zell, why donīt we rest up a bit in the Hotel? We can stay here for a couple of hours and return to Garden around 3 p.m.," said Rinoa. "But I thought we were gonna give Quistis a surprise," said Zell dissapointed. "We are. You told here we were comming tonight. Well, we will surprise her when we return a couple of hours earlier," said the tired Rinoa. "Well, Ok, but donīt sleep too much," said Zell Zell reserved 2 rooms in the Balamb Hotel. One for Rinoa and Squall(duh!), and the other one for Irvine and Selphie(duh! too). Zell, although he had also traveled a lot with them, was not really tired. He, like everyone in Balamb, knew about the eclipse, so he went to the pool area, put the sun-protecting glasses he bought in the shop, and waited for the eclipse. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* The Eclipse finally began. The Black moon started to cover the sun slowly, while Krelian waited impatiently for the moon to cover the sun completely. All the students in Balamb, Zell, Quistis and Aerith, Seifer and all the people around the world were seeing this amazing espectacle. Finally, the black moon finally covered the King Star..... A lightning stroke the summit of Balamb Mountain, just a few meters where Krelian was. This was the signal Krelian was waiting for... "Legendary Weapons that have lived from aeons, wake up and leave the depths of hell where you are awaiting for your savior to bring your souls back to life. HADES, revive them and make them obey me," said Krelian. The GF Hades appeared at the top of the mountain. Suddenly, the moon and the sun dissapeared. Everyone around the world panic. "It the end of the world," shouted many, while others asked themselves what had happened. Everything was black. Then sky changed to a red color. The stars couldnīt be seen, and the only thing in the sky was the red sky, which was like a blood layer covering all Earth. Hades used his spells and poured the liquid in the pot into the peak of the temple that was buried in the mountain. A giant gate opened in the sky and rays of all colors came out of it. Krelian was so surprised of this. The power in the atmosphere was incredible and he could feel the power of the Weapons near. Krelian then shouted: "Weapons, it is I, your master Krelian, who has summoned you back to Earth. Come out of this gate and make the people fell your wrath" Six Shadows came out from the gate. The gate closed and the temple which was buried within the mountain appeared. It was about the size of the Lunatic Pandora and it could float. It had 6 thrones in the top of it. Each of the shadows took their respective thrones. There was not enough light to see the weapons clearly yet. When Krelian was about to fly to where the temple was, he suffered a transformation. His power increased by 500 % and received a golden staff that had a six precious stones in it. Then a voice coming from the temple said: "You are the master of the weapons. With this staff, you will have control of them and can use their power the way you want. They will serve you for eternity. But beware, if you lose the staff I have given you, they will see you as an enemy and be slaughtered by them. Make good use of my advice...." The voice dissapeared. The temple began moving south. It stopped 1 mile south of the moutain where it was buried. "Show yourself Weapons and let me know who are the ones that will serve me for eternity!" said Krelian eagerly. The six weapons stood up from their thrones. A ray of light comming from the sky lighted up the first weapon and so on... "I am Diamond. The Weapon of the Land." "I am Emerald. The Weapon of the Sea." "I am Ultima. The Weapon of Darkness." "I am Ruby. The Weapon of the Desert." "I am Omega. The Weapon of the End." The last throne, which was at the center of all of them, didnīt light up. The five weapons that had already been introduced kneeled in front of the throne and finally the last throne lighted up... "And I am Alpha. The Weapon of the Beggining." All the Weapons had finally revived. The first five weapons had a gigantic size, but the last one, Alpha, the weapon of the beggining, had a smaller size. He was almost transparent and had a yellow aura surrounding him. Without a doubt, the leader and most powerfull of the weapons was Alpha. "I finally did it! I revived all the weapons! My dream fulfilled finally. Iīll now go to talk to them," said Krelian with pleasant voice. Krelian flew towards the top of temple. He stood right in front of the weapons and before he could speak, Alpha stood up and said: "Human. You have the golden staff. You now have the authority to rule over us. Each one of us will do whatever you want," said Alpha. "Great. Thatīs what I wanted to hear. Now its time for my speech," said Krelian. "People of the world. These are the legendary weapons that have been alive since the beggining of time. Feel the my wrath and feel the wrath of the weapons that hate you all. I, Krelian, will for now on be the ruler of this planet. Everyone shall kneel before me and glorify me and the Weapons. HAHAHAHAH. Anyone who dares to challenge us, please feel free to come to this temple." A loud scream comming from Balamb said: "I challenge you Krelian. You and Me alone." "Who dares challenge me?" said Krelian. "It is I, Seifer, who will slay you." "HaHa. You know, I donīt even have to go all the way to where you are to kill you. Iīll test the strenght of one of the weapons. HMM, lets see. Emerald, I want you to kill that bastard!" said Krelian fiercely. "As you wish Emperor," said Emerald Weapon. Emerald flew slowly to where Seifer was. He stopped just in top of Seifer. Seifer then took out his gunblade and was about to execute his limit break when... "REVENGE STOMP," shouted Emerald. Emerald came down as fast as the speed of sound. Seifer didnīt even have time to realize he was going to be attacked. Emerald crushed Seiferīs body with his feet, which were made of spikes. The land was full of blood, and the only thing left of Seifer was his gunblade. "HAHA. This is what will happen to anymore who dares to challenge us. You shall all meet thy doom near. Try and live while u can," said the unsane Krelian. Meanwhile, in Balamb Garden... "SEIFER!!!!!" shouted Quistis. "OH My GOD. Poor Seifer, and and, Krelian, he is evil! I canīt believe what he just did, I thought my doubts about him were not true, but now, I have seen what I didnīt want to see," said Aerith crying. "Iīll avenge Seifer. Nida, crash on the temple with Garden. I want to kill him myself," shouted Quistis. "Roger Quistis," Said Nida. The Garden moved as fast as posible to crash on the temple that was a bit far away. When Garden was about to reach the sea, five unidentified persons stood in the beach, thus forcing Nida to stop the Garden. "Stop it Quistis, " said one of the persons down there. "I know that voice. SQUALL," shouted Quistis with relief. Yes readers, Squall and the others had seen all that had happened and had seen all of Krelianīs actions, including Emeraldīs slaughtering of Seifer. "Quistis, you will not do anything in trying to crash with the temple. We need a plan first; the weapons are too powerfull to battle without a plan," said Squall. "Yes Quistis, listen to Squall," said Rinoa. "We will beat them up once we are organized," said at the same time Selphie and Irvine. "Let us get in the Garden," shouted the impatient, electric Zell. Nida landed Garden in the beach. Our friends got in, and had a meeting in Cidīs office. All of our 6 heroes that had defeated Ultimecia, had another task to accomplish: defeat the weapons and Krelian and bring back peace to this world again. When they were gonna start the meeting, Krelian again wanted to say something: "I see no one wants to challenge us, and I think it ainīt good, cause all of you will die sooner of later. Well then, sayonara all!" The temple moved slowly throughout the sea. The weapons sat quietly in their thrones. Krelian was a bit puzzled at why the weapons were so quiet. The weapons seemed asleep, but they were thinking. What were they thinking? Had the weapons a reason to be so quiet and mysterious? Krelian was asking himself this questions. He tried not to doubt his power over the weapons, but he did. He then asked... "Alpha, why are the weapons and yourself so quiet?" Alpha didnīt answer nor the other weapons said something. "I know whatīs the problem. You are bored in here. If thatīs the case, you can go to your normal living places, but donīt try to escape from me, or you will be punished," said Krelian with confidence. With this announcement, the weapons at last moved. Emerald jumped into the sea, Ruby flew to the desert south of Esthar, Diamond went on Island Closest To Hell and Ultima went to the Sea Research Center. Alpha and Omega were the only weapons that didnīt move. "OHH, so ALPHA and OMEGA want to protect me? Well, thatīs ok with me. Donīt do anything stupid the," said Krelian laughing. Was Krelian too overconfident of his power over the weapons? Even I(the author) think that he is too confident with his power. Krelian thought he was more powerfull than all of the weapons... Was this true, or is this overconfidence gonna have bad results for him??? END OF CHAPTER #3 --->Donīt miss next chapter. What is Squall and the others planning to do? Are the weapons gonna like being ordered by Krelian? How is Aerith feeling???? This and more you will see in the next chapter, so donīt miss it!!!!
