"Well then who do you think is paying your Commander Shiguyou large sums of money?" Deling countered. Then he smirked, an all-knowning one. "HE can't disobey my orders!"

Then he began to laugh hysterically. Hannya gripped the shirt even tighter, closing in the air space on Deling's throat. "You bastard."

"Red blade WILL be defeated," a voice interrupted.

Both men turned their heads in the direction of the voice. "Commander Shiguyou," Hannya replied and released Deling.

Shiguyou stood in the doorway, arms crossed and a sheathed sword, or rather the hilt of it, peeking through his trenchcoat. Deling smiled in triumph. "Is that so?" he said.

"However," Shiguyou continued, "it's not for your sake that we're doing this."

Deling was a bit shocked. "W-what?!?"

"Red Blade was a member of our group once," Shiguyou answered in a calm voice that was beginning to infuriate Deling. "We let her go before because of Ultimecia's appearance. The Leonhart family belong to a long line of descendants with the skill to destroy evil. We had to let Koneko go because of that. You thought that we wanted revenge against Red Blade just because she's stronger than us? Hmph, the power-hungry wouldn't understand."

Deling once again narrowed his eyes. "So what do you mean, then?"

"Scum like you have no right to be able to destroy them," Shiguyou simply answered. "Our goal was to see how strong Red Blade is now. Hannya, get ready."

Hannya simply nodded and disappeared in the shadows. Deling struggled to control his anger as Shiguyou began walking away. "I've put Alex in the third observation tower," he added.

"Then what am I supposed to do?!?" Deling shrieked.

Shiguyou began to close the door behind him and looked back, staring at Deling with cold, mysterious eyes. "Why don't you just count your money to entertain yourself?"

The door shut softly. Deling stared at the place where the silent Commander once stood. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger. "Damn you, Shiguyou Tojo."

The four stared at the long wooden door in front of them.

"This is probably where those guys are waiting for you to come," Kereberos said in a serious tone.

Sakura looked at her stuffed-animal-like-creature friend in shock. "K-chan, I didn't know that you can act serious."

Kereberos began whapping Sakura out of frustration. "That's not what I meant!"

One sideline glance at Squall and both he and Luna pushed the doors open. There was Hannya standing in the middle of the hallway.

"I thought it was you," Luna said.

"Koneko, this'll be probably the last time we'll meet," Hannya replied. He punched his fists together, a metal sound ringing out as they connected.

"That guy's got iron gauntlets underneath those gloves," Zell identified.

"Iron gauntlets? But why would he need gauntles under gloves?" Rinoa wondered.

"Be careful, Luna!" Sakura shouted for moral support.

Luna took one step forward, ready to draw her weapon.

"Wait, Luna," Squall stopped her. He took out Leonhart and walked forward. "Let me take him. You've got enough on your hands already."

She released the grip on the hilt and stepped back. "Thanks."

Squall stepped in front of the group and paused. A staredown between him and Hannya took place for a moment. Then Hannya rushed forward, ready for a punch. Squall remained still, waiting for an opening. But something caught him off guard. Something that was too strange for a normal punch. The others looked in shock.

"A direct hit?!?" Zell exclaimed.

Squall staggered back a bit to regain his balance, but he saw the next strike. He'd fought with Zell enough times to know the martial artists' attacks. A reverse backhand. He tilted slightly to the side to reduce impace, but titled a bit too much and landed on the floor. Hannya jumped up in the air with a quickness that Squall had only seen in the twins as he was about to punch down for the final blow. He managed to avoid it by a fraction of a second and reappeared behind Hannya a few feet away, wiping away a little blood that trickled down his chin and spitting out a loose tooth.

"Shit," Hannya cursed under his breath. He's faster than I thought.

"Squall," Rinoa was about to go to her knight when Luna's voice stopped her.

He's fine, she heard her voice say. Have a bit more faith in your knight, will ya?

H-how...

Sorceresses can communicate with one another when they're closely related by blood, Luna explained as she still kept her eyes on the fight. With twins, it's even more powerful.

"Wow, he's fast," Sakura observed.

Kereberos struck her on the head. "He's a SeeD, what do you expect?"

"But Daddy's one, too, and he isn't that good."

"That's because your dad hasn't fought in years," Kereberos pointed out.

"Hmph, you're better than what I expected," Hannya commented. "But I guess that runs in the famliy."

Squall arched an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"However," Hannya ignored him and fell back in a stance, "a lion must be defeated sometime or another."

Squall remained calm, eyes narrowing slightly.

"Man," Zell said. "Why is Squall getting beat up so easily? That's not like him."

"Well, he seemed to predict the reverse backhand and managed to avoid the final punch by a fraction of a second," Luna observed. "But...I think it was that first punch that threw him off."

Sakura nodded happily in agreement. "Uh huh, it looked like it got longer."

Zell looked back to the fight. "Well, I see your point. But man, that guy's arms are long, but they can't STRETCH even longer, can they?"

Hannya chuckled to himself lightly. "It's impossible to avoid my technique. You were caught off guard once you laid eyes on my arm."

"If I was caught off guard before," Squall replied, raising the Lionheart to about eye level, "then I'll try this instead."

"Um...just what exactly is Squall doing?" Zell asked, confused.

"It's a defensive stance known as Shinken," Luna answered. "It's an ancient defensive stance used to predict an enemy attack once in reach."

"Hmm, so you think you can avoid my punch?" Hannya said, setting himself in an offensive stance. "Shinken is a stance that limits your offense." No matter how defensive his posture is, he won't be able to avoid my punch!

Squall remained silent. Taking that as an answer, Hannya attacked just above the blunt edge of the Lionheart. After mere moments, Squall stepped to the side, Hannya missing completely, and released the trigger, striking Hannya's left side of the mask. Hannya recoiled back in pain, grabbing his mask.

"Wow..." Sakur murmured in awe.

"How'd you dodge it?" Rinoa asked Squall.

"It's pretty simple once you get the basics of the move," he answered. "The illusion of his arm stretching out is merely the sideways stripes tattooed on his arms."

"I get it," Zell said. "Those stripes trick your eyes and creates an optical illusion."

"Hmph, that's pretty smart," Hannya said in a muffled voice, his hands still covering his mask. "You weren't just being defensive, but measureing the length of my arm as well?"

"So he was using the Lionheart as a ruler," Luna realized.

"I underestimated you," Hannya continued. "Even though you are a SeeD, you've got a lot of potential of becoming something else. Commander Shiguyou led us through that higher level during the Sorceress Wars. We became stronger and more dependent of ourselves." He uncovered his mask, bits and pieces cracked and fell out on the left side of his face, revealing the true form underneath which was a dark blue eye and a scorched face. Luna gasped.

"All these scar, I went through hell and back," Hannya explained. "But Commander Shiguyou, he chose the four of us to lead through the chaos of the Sorceress War. Our goal is to prevent Ultimecia from penetrating through the world's barriers." His fist clenched together and metal claws shot out.

"If you're goal is to stop Ultimecia, then why are you stopping us? We're on the same side!" Squall pointed out.

"Shut up!" Hannya shouted and attacked. Squall slid the Lionheart right in between one of the metal claws. Metal clinked against metal. For a second, they stared at one another then jumped off of opposite sides on the walls and charged forward. Metal hit against metal again and they landed on opposite side; silence followed.

Hannya began to chuckle. "You're better than what I expected. However..." Squall gritted his teeth in pain as blood sprayed out from his right shoulder, "you're not match for Commander Shiguyou." Hannya spit out blood and collapsed to the ground, unconscious. The others ran to Squall.

"Squall, are you okay?" Rinoa asked, concerned.

"I'm fine, just a scratch," he replied, strapping Lionheart back into its place. "Let's go."

They ran to the next room which seemed to be the main foyer. A pack of nervous soldiers blocked the way to the upper floor.

"W-we're not going to let you go any further!" one of them stammered out.

"Luna, I'll take care of 'em!" Sakura shouted happily.

They continued to run forward. The soldiers split up, letting the others access. "Alright, Sakura, I'm counting on you!" Luna shouted back as they ran upstairs.

"Leave it to us!" Kereberos shouted triumphantly.

The soldiers surrounded the creature and Sakura. "It's only a girl and her stuff animal!" one said defiantly.

"Who're you calling a girl?!?" Sakura shouted angrily.

"And I'm not a stuffed animal, you idiot!" Kereberos said angrily.

Sakura flipped out a card in front of her while Kereberos's body glowed white. "Combine!!!"

A white light brightened the room and the screams of dying men echoed.

"Are you sure she's gonna be okay?" Rinoa asked LUna. "I mean, with all those guys chasing her..."

Luna giggled as they approached the door. "Don't worry, she'll be just fine. I feel sorry for those guys who have to face those two."

She felt a strong, familiar aura inside. They opened the door, a ballroom. Standing in the middle was Shiguyou, arms crossed as if waiting for them to come. His eyes were still covered by his dark bangs, but Rinoa could see that they were of many different colors and glowed mysteriously even though there was still light in the room.

"So you managed to defeat Hannya. I'm impressed," he said in a monotonous tone.

So that's who Luna was talking about... Zell thought.

The leader of the group she used to be in... Squall added along the same lines.

...Shiguyou Tojo. Rinoa finished.

Luna took one step forward. "Shiguyou, where's Alex?"

Shiguyou closed his eyes for a moment. "That, I cannot tell you."

"Then why are you with Deling?" Luna burst out. "I thought that you and the others hated being used for evil purposes."

"Our mission is completely different from that idiot Deling's," he explained. "We came here for a different course, and this was the only way that we could get Princeton Deling's trust."

"Then why involve my brother in this?" Luna asked in a more softer tone.

"That was because he involved himself in it," Shiguyou plainly answered, drawing out his weapon which was also a katana. "To get him back, you'll have to defeat me first."

"You guys go on ahead and find Alex," Luna quietly said to the others, drawing out her katana as it glowed a dark jade.

"But---" Zell began to protest.

"I'm BAAAACCCCKKKK!!!!" Sakura shouted with Kereberos trailing behind.

"What do you mean YOU'RE back? WE'RE back, Card Captor!" Kereberos corrected.

"That was fast, guys," Rinoa complimented. Especially for a nine year old...

Sakura grinned. "Heh, that was easy!"

"If you're not going to attack, Luna," Shiguyou said, everybody focusing back to the upcoming fight. He started to walk then moved faster, "then I'll kill you first!"

Luna raised up her weapon to block, then saw an upcoming kick when their weapons connected. Oh, shit! Shiguyou's boot connected, sending Luna flying to the side. In midair, she flipped over and landed softly on the ground. She eyed the commander carefully. I forgot that he uses the katana only for defense. Her sapphire eyes narrowed slightly. His offense is kempo, like mine.

"Damn!" Zell growled and was about the intervene when Squall stopped him.

"Wait, Zell," he said. "This is Luna's fight. I don't think she'd like us to intervene. Let her take care of this."

"Do you think we should go and find Alex?" Rinoa asked.

Squall shook his ehad. "No. I've got a feeling that we should stick around and see what happens."

"You're slower than before, Koneko," Shiguyou noticed. "Stand up and fight."

Luna spit out blood that had creeped up to her mouth, still keeping her gaze on her former comrade. She stood up, but didn't bother to get the first attack. That would be too reckless, and she was more experienced that that. There's gotta be a way to get through his defenses, I know there is. Hannya showed it to me before... Her bracelets transformed into gauntlets again. Something snapped within them and they both attacked at the same time. Luna mised a strike, and Shiguyou retaliated against that. She avoided his punch but barely avoided her head from being chopped off. Strands of black floated down to the floor. Luna tried for a punch in the midsection, but her fist connected with the hilt of his katana and got a swift kick to the side of her ribs. She flew again, flipped over and landed on her feet. Shiguyou stood in front of her a sword's length away, eyes showing no emotion.

Zell's eyes narrowed slightly, gritting his teeth. That guy...he's got the advantage, but he's not even smiling one damn bit. Luna stared up at him unemotionally also, but she just wanted to hug and cry on his shoulder after not seeing him for so long. I found it... She smiled softly at him. His mysterious eyes flinched slightly.

"I finally figured out how to get through your defenses," she said. "I remember Hannya showing it to me once." She saw through the ruffled bangs that his eyes softened for a moment, but then changed back to no expression after that split moment.

"Then show me," he said.

Luna sliced downward, Shiguyou striking down at the same time. "You're too slow."

But his eyes widened at the shock of Luna's hand cut and bleeding, drops of her blood dripping to the floor. She turned the blade and struck upwards, the hilt stricking at the base of his trachea. Shiguyou staggered back, grabbing his throat instinctively due to the pain.

Sakura jumped in glee. "A hit!"

"What did you find out?" Squall asked.

"His weapon's a bit shorter than mine, but still a katana nevertheless," Luna explained, looking at Shiguyou directly in the eyes. "So I had to adjust mine to his length."

Shiguyou narrowed one eyes. "So that's why..." he managed to say. A pause, then, "So that's why you're holding the base of the blade." The pain in his throat ebbed, and he slowly let go of it. "You've gotten stronger, Koneko," He raised his weapon diagonally, his fingertips lightly touching the end of the blade. "However, although you have been with us for a whil, you have never seen my final technique."

Mirror images of him began to form, or at least that's what the others saw. He was actually moving in a liquid-like movement, confusing and evading Luna at the same time. Her eyes widened in shock as she missed him again. This technique...it's like...it's like Phoe's! Shiguyou began to circle around her, evading her blows with his water-like movement. The movement of water fluctuates all the time: either taking its opponents away or aiding them. They also confuse an enemy, just like how your twin sister, Phoenix, uses her final technique to confuse hers. After one final missed strike, Shiguyou reappeared behind Luna, preparing the final blow. She turned around one second too late and the seering plain of blade cutting flesh filled her mind.

"Luna!"

She tumbled backwards and finally rolled to a stop, face down. She was still for a few moments while the others waited anxiously to see if there was any sign of life present as a small pool of blood began to form. Then slowly, but surely, Luna got up from the floor. She panted slightly due to the loss of blood and covered her wound with one arm but kept a cold stare at Shiguyou.

"You managed to survive," Shiguyou replied emotionlessly. "You're the first person to. That doesn't surprise me, though. You do have sorceress's blood within you. However," He raised his katana again as before, "can you avoid a second attack of the Kaiten Kenbu?" The liquid like movement began again.

"Luna, be careful!" Sakura warned.

"He's doing another one of those again," Zell added.

Squall noticed that she wasn't listening to them. He saw her wrap the strap of her sheath around her arm, sheathing her weapon. Her eyes were covered by long, thick strands of black, so he couldn't see what she was thinking. However, he could see her lips moving, but couldn't make out what she was saying. Shiguyou attacked again, but missed for Luna was high up in the air, almost touching the ceiling. He paused and looked up as she leaned forward and began to fall back down. Her hand was still on the gemmed hilt as if waiting for the perfect moment to strike.

"I've seen that before!" Shiguyou shouted and jumped up to her. The others looked on, hoping for the best and fearing the worst.

Once he was close enough, Luna twirled in the air, drawing out her weapon with such velocity that shockwaves were sent back, almost knocking over the observers below. The piercing sound of metal scratching against metal like nails on a chalkboard echoed throughout the room. Thye landed on opposite sides; an eerie silence followed.

Shiguyou smirked slightly after a few minutes. "...You are better than before, Koneko. That's what I expected." He fell over, unconscious.

Luna stood. The others ran to her.

"Hell, I dunno how you did it, bt you did it!" Zell grinned. "Was startin' to get worried."

"Are you okay, Luna?" Rinoa asked worriedly.

Luna laughed lightly. She smiled, her sapphire eyes sparking. "I'm fine," she replied cheefully. "The wound isn't as big as you think. Besides, I didn't lose too much blood, so I'll be okay if I don't move that much."

"But you shouldn't scare us like that!" Kereberos complained. "I though you were going to get impaled or something!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"What about Shiguyou?" Squall asked, casting a sideways glance at the man. "Will he be okay?"

"He'll be okay," Luna answered. "He'll be unconscious for a few hours and might have some trouble breathing, but he'll be as good as new once he regains consciousness."

The doors slammed open and the three followers of Commander Shiguyou appeared. Shiguyou slowly stood up. Everybody fell into defensive stances. Shiguyou stuck out his arm to halt his members while still staring at Luna straight in the eye. His bangs only covered his eyes partially now, and the others could see that they were a strange greenish-bluish color that glowed slightly.

"Why didn't you finish me off?" Shiguyou demanded.

"Commander Shiguyou, I'm sorry, but I can't do that," Luna replied softly. "The others need you and so do I."

Shiguyou's eyes widened slightly as Luna continued, "You don't know how much I missed you guys when Ultimecia appeared. Phoenix was the only person who understood why I've been looking for you guys after all this time when I heard that your base was infiltrated and destroyed. Now I find you again and we have to kill each other? ...That's pointless."

You really care about Shiguyou, don't you, Luna? Rinoa thought.

Even though he won't admit it openly, he's my knight in shining armor. Like how Squall is to you, came her reply.

"So then you're like us," Hannya replied, surprising Luna. "After the third sorceress war, we heard that you moved away from Deling City. So we began searching for your whereabouts and found her and everyone in Esthar."

Silence followed. But then gunshots disrupted the silence and blasted through the door. The sounds came from something similar to a machine gun. Deling appeared out the the debris, chuckling to himself. Next to him was a very large gatling gun.

"Well, well, well, ain't this a coincidence?" Deling mocked. "You had fun in your little fight and now it's my turn."

He fired out aimlessly turning the weapon and shooting at particularly nothing. Squall grabbed Rinoa. Zell grabbed Sakura and Kereberos. Everybody else ran to avoid the bullets while Deling laughed maniacally.

"Dammit, he's shooting like this on purpose!" Zell growled.

"Deling, why are you doing this?!?" Hannya shouted.

"You call me Lord Deling, idiot!" Deling shouted back, enraged, and faced the gun towards Hannya.

Bullets rang out and headed right towards Hannya. But in the last second, he was pushed out of the way by Shiguyou. The others watched in horror as bullets pierced through his legs. Deling smirked with satisfaction as the elite commander fell to the ground. Luna ran to him as well as his three comrades. Shiguyou stared coldy at Deling as he gritted his teeth in a mixture of pain and anger.

Luna's eyes narrowed dangerously. "You bastard..."

Deling chuckled again, lighting up a cigarette in the process. "Listen, Red Blade, money is power. I've got to find a way to have that. Hiring troops cost too much money." He patted lightly on the gatling gun. "This is a way to get money when I sell this. Money, that's the TRUE power, unlike you." He began to laugh maniacally again. "Hah! The most poerful one will be me!"

"Otherwise, a merchant of Death," Squall concluded.

"Do you think that's going to prove anything?!?" Luna shouted angrily, her voice beginning to snarl like a lioness. "Sacraficing lives just to gain power?!?"

"This'll kill anyone who stands in my way," Deling answered arrogantly. Then he swung the gatling gun so that it would aim at Shiguyou and the group surrounding him. "And the first one will be you, Shiguyou Tojo!!"

Shiguyou narrowed his eyes and was about to charge forward on injured legs when Hyottoko ran ahead of him. Deling quickly fired, putting at least twently holes into his large fram. The others looked on in shock.

"Hyottoko!" Shiguyou yelled.

Before Hyottoko died, he smiled. Deling arched an eyebrow and saw that Beshimi used the large man as a spring before he collapsed.

"Take---" Beshimi aimed.

Deling panicked and immediately shot him as well. The first bullet struck right through his chest, but Beshimi continued to aim and released the spiral bullet before ten other bullets from the gun plowed right through his small body. He also crashed to the ground, lifeless.

"Beshimi..." Luna whispered. Her eyes, filled with tears, flickered dangerously as she crouched by Shiguyou's side.

"Koneko, get out of her," Shiguyou whispered in so low of a voice that only she could hear.

She shook her head slightly, tears streaming down her cheeks and sapphire eyes boring into Deling's image. Hannya appeared behind them and laid a hand on her shoulder.

"Koneko," Hannya said, "Alex is located in the third observation tower on the left." His blue eyes said something else to her: Take out Deling while you can.

"I'll be taking your speed as a gift down in hell," he added before running to his right.

Luna realized what Hannya mean and shouted to the others, "Get Alex! I'll take care of this!"

"B-but---" Rinoa hesitated, but Squall took her arm and one look in his eyes convinced her to go.

They left and Luna ran to the opposite side, leaving a bewildered Shiguyou. Deling aimed towards Hannya first.

"Hannya!" Shiguyou shouted to stop him.

"Commander," Hannya said as he ran, "farewell!!"

Shots rang out, one penetrating through his heart and he died on the instant. More shot through his lifeless body as Shiguyou could do nothing but look in horror as his best friend, his brother by oath, died right before his eyes.

Luna drew out her katana just as Deling turned the gun towards her, laughing. "It's no use, Red Blade! It's too late! Those idiots couldn't even lay a finger on me and died. Now, you're next!"

Luna gave him an icy stare that chilled him to the bone. But he shouted, "DIE, RED BLADE!!!!"

She ran towards the gun just as it was about to shoot, ducking under the bullets that came abover her at such an amazing speed, she reached the gun in no time and leaped into the air. Deling wanted to fire as she was in the air, but for some reason, the handle on the gun wouldn't work. Glancing to one side, he gasped in shock. The spiral bullet that Beshimi had thrown was not intended to him at all. It jammed the belt where the bullets were coming from. While still in shock, Luna landed just to the side of the gun, giving him a glare of death. She struck sideways, slicing the gun in half. Deling staggered back, now helpless.

"M-mercy..." he pleaded.

"If you want to be spared, then why don't you ask your precious money for it?!?!?" Luna answered.

Blade met flesh, and so was Deling's last breath. After moments of silence, she flicked off the blood on her blade and walked over to a despaired Shiguyou. Sheathing her sword, she came from behind him and wrapped her arms in a hug, surprising him. He felt warm tears on his trenchcoat.

"It wasn't your fault...." Luna whispered softly in his ear.

They reached to the observation tower that Hannya had told them. Zell and Squall knocked the door down and found Alex lying on the couch, all bruised and bloodied. Dried blood stained his face and shirt. He was a terrible sight.

"Hyne..." Squall murmured.

They ran towards his still form. Zell went to check his pulse whil Rinoa examined his wounds carefully.

"He's still alive," Zell informed when he heard light breathing coming out of Alex. "Just barely, though."

"I wonder what happened to him..." Rinoa murmured.

Squall knelt down next to her, leaving a shocked Sakura. "Probably tortured," he answered after glancing at his wounds and shuddered inwardly at the memory of the D-District Prison only two years before.

A booming sound echoed throughout the mansion as Luna ran into the room, gasping for air.

"Is he...okay?" she managed to say.

Squall silently nodded.

Luna's eyes were filled with relief. "That's good. But now we better get out, fast."

"Huh? Why?" Zell asked.

"This place has a self-detonating device. It got activated," she explained.

"Where's Shiguyou?" Kereberos asked.

Luna's eyes were sad for a moment. "He...he's dead. He lifted up the anti-magic barrier and it exploded on him because of it. I tried to stop him and pull him back, but he pushed me out of the way when the magic device started to detonate." A pause. "But we better get out. This place is going to blow any minute."

"How?" Rinoa asked. "Alex is badly injured. How are we supposed to carry him out and get back to the Ragnarok on time?"

Luna looked at Sakura. The girl snapped out of her trance and nodded, flipping out a card. It floated in the air in front of her and began to glow a light blue.

"TELEPORT!!!" she shouted.

Squall piloted the Ragnarok away from the area of the Silkehs Mountains as the mansion that they just occupied detonated and gave out a fiery red bubble that glowed brightly in the night. Rinoa and Luna looked after Alex while Sakura slept, exhausted from the trip and hugging an equally exhausted Kereberos, and Zell paced around the ship as they headed back toward Balamb Garden. Using Curagas was next to impossible in Alex's current condition and the others were afraid that he might go into aftershock. Luna looked out the pilot window sadly.

I hope Phoenix is having luck with her knight.

AUTHOR'S NOTES: Whew! Chapter finished!! Sorry if this took like forever to post up, but well, I had school finals to take care of. Anyhoo, school's over, so I'll be able to write some more.

WHAT'S TO COME:

She entered in the restaurant and couldn't believe her eyes. The man sitting in the corner of the restaurant, reading a newspaper, was HIM. His black hair grew a bit and was tied back into a ponytail; he wore the typical dark clothing of Atamos's organization: black trenchcoat, black pants, and a black shirt. But those eyes....Phoenix could never forget those eyes. Those emerald eyes that promised to protect her with all his heart returned to her. Phoenix slowly walked towards the table, her eyes brimming with tears as she slowly smiled, saying:

"Kenji?"
