Chapter 1
Time Compression


Raziel stepped into the portal into the circular chamber. It had more portals all round the walls. Moebius stepped in from the shadows and saying the famous line, ”Raziel. Redeemer and destroyer, pawn and messiah, welcome time spanned soul………………what in the name of time?! Something was happening to the room, it was falling away It swirled into a whole mass of color and lights like water going through a drain, and in an instant, Moebius, the room all fell away and Raziel felt the sensation of falling.

As he fell he saw bits and pieces of images from his past, others pasts, futures. He could see a young man with a strange bladed weapon; a girl dressed in blue that exerted an aura of immense power and some others. ”What in the name of hell is going on?” he thought wildly, while trying not to panic as it looked as though he were going to fall into the OCEAN!! He fell through with a splash. ”HUH?!!” he thought as he fell through seeing a weird assortment of a whole shoal, of brilliantly colored fish and an assortment of plants and other creatures, all seemed to be upside down. But before he could stop admire this strange underwater scenery, he fell through the surface of the sea and witnessed another oddity, he was falling toward the SKY?? Birds , a whole mass of them, it took him totally by surprise. The mass flock of birds swirled into a winding tunnel (think Sliders sort of tunnel here). It twisted and twirled like a roller coaster and finally all Raziel could see was a blinding white light.

“ White SeeDs, we’re moving across generations”, Squall said as the dismal scene lay before him and his friends just after going through the Time Compression. The bodies of hundreds of White SeeD members lay scattered everywhere. Moving further along the path that led from the orphanage to the beach. When they got there, more dead SeeDs scattered everywhere, they saw gigantic chains nailed to the beach. The sky was dark and stormy, lightning and thunder filled the sky with bright flashes and resounding booms. Following the chains lead to a floating island, and on the island was their ultimate goal. Huge and foreboding was Ultimecias castle. ”We must stop her”, said Squall determined. They crossed the huge chains to the island of Ultimecias castle

Owww, I feel as though I went through the Abyss again, groaned Raziel as he got up after falling hard flat on his face. ”That’s something I don’t want to go on again”, he thought giddily as he tried to stand, a little unsteady on his feet from dizziness .He looked around to get his bearings. He turned and saw he was in front of an old stone house. ”Maybe someone can tell me where I can find Kain and tell me what the hell I just went through and where the hell am I?” Eagerly Raziel entered. The house was comprised of several rooms. Some toys lay scattered about. ”Looks like a family used to live here ”thought Raziel to himself. He saw a door that led out side. He went through and saw hundreds of people in weird white uniforms lying dead. After closing the door it disappeared. Looking around Raziel saw a pathway, following it he came to a beach (more dead people lying about) with the gigantic chains nailed to it holding a mysterious island with a really huge castle. Raziel followed the chain up to the island hoping to find out where Kain went. As he went up he saw three gates. ”No time to look what’s behind these gates for now”, muttered Raziel to himself, and continued his journey up the chains.

“So this is where what’s her face lives”, said Irvine in awe.” Finally”, said Selphie. ”Looks creepy to me”, shivered Rinoa. Squall and his friends were at the foot of the stairs leading to the castle entrance.
A sudden noise of footsteps made them all turn around. What was it, was it another one of those sorceress”
They fought while going through the Time Compression…was it another monster??

Their questions were answered when they turned around. No it was not another sorceress, but whether it was a monster or not they couldn't decide. This creature had talon for hands and feet .Its eyes seemed to emit a blue glow. Its skin was a bluish tinge and didn’t seem to have any insides. On his back were two flaps of tattered skin which looked they might have been wings. A cloth with some symbol on it covered half its face. It looked barley human .On its right arm was, what looked like, a long wavy blade made of blue energy entwined into its whole arm.

Squall stepped forward, drawing out his Gunblade. ”Who are you?” he asked not sure whether he wanted to fight it or try to reason with it. “I am Raziel, WHO are you, HOW did I get here and more importantly WHERE the hell is Kain?!” said Raziel ,really pissed off as he had once again failed to seek and destroy Kain ,  he regarded the strange weapon the man was holding with curiosity.  ”Looks like it doesn’t want to fight”, thought Squall with relief putting back his Gunblade. The last battles had tired everyone out. “I am Squall SeeD member of Balamb Garden and these are my friends Zell, Selphie, Rinoa, Quistis and Irvine. As to how you got here
You must’ve been through the Time Compression. As for your last question who is this Kain person?” “Damn”, muttered Raziel. “May I ask why you wanna kick this Kain guy’s ass so bad?” asked Zell.
“This pitiful form you see before you is because of him, he has wiped out my whole clan and now I want vengeance”, said Raziel through gritted teeth. ”Well lets not go into to all that gory detail now, ’cos we got to get this over with before we go home”, said Zell a little hurriedly. ”He’s right”, thought Squall. ”All right team lets go in and get this over with”.

Chapter2
Ultimecias Castle

“KURSE ALL YOU MEDDLESOME SEEDS.I won’t let your victory kome so easily, KURSE ALL YOU SEEDS!!!  Don’t worry Raziel, Kain awaits you as well. I look forward to seeing your demise along with those akkursed SeeDs. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!”  As the evil laughter echoed away, everyone turned around to look at Raziel. ”What does she mean by we?” asked Irvine. “Does that mean Kain is here too, how does this Ultimecia know Kain?” Raziel asked himself. ”Never mind that this place looks totally strange”, came Quistis’ voice from ahead. Indeed it did. It looked like Ultimecia’s castle and Nosgoth had been put in a blender and mixed, with weird looking results. “Jeez, remind me not to call on her interior decorator”, joked Selphie. ”Get behind those pillars now! ”Shouted Raziel suddenly and shoved everyone behind some large pillars. ”What did I say? ”gasped Selphie. ”Not what you said, take a look”. They all peeped from behind the pillars and they saw two creatures walk by. Both were Turelim vampires, though they were horribly even more mutated than before Raziel saw some last time. “Whoa, I never knew this weird lady had those kind of goons, what are they?” said Zell. ”.  ” What is wrong Rinoa? ”, Asked Squall. He’d noticed she was looking pale. ”I never imagined this would happen…”she whispered.”What has happened?”
“Our worlds, past, present and future, have collided with each other. Some how Raziel’s world has clashed with ours during the Time Compression….”. Rinoa suddenly collapsed to her knees, her head in her hands. ” Squall… I could see it…she could change the course of our whole lives…. Everything changed… gone horribly wrong…. It’s too unspeakable, you, I, everyone…”.Squall was immediatley by her side  ” Rinoa what is wrong, please tell me ”, Squall whispered gently to her. ”I’m afraid I’m nearly gonna loose you again”, he thought to himself. He’d lost Sis, and that was why he always believed he was alone. He was not going to loose Rinoa again. ”I think we’d better split into two teams ”Squall finally said still kneeling by Rinoa. ”Quistis you take Irvine and Selphie with you. Zell you’re coming with me. Raziel, what will you do?” Raziel though t for a while.”He  has amazing leadership abilities , for a human  child” he thought. ” I go to seek Kain alone, the sooner I beat Kain and  you this Ultimecia the better ”. They split up into their teams and went their separate ways.

“Don’t worry Rinoa  I’m gonna  protect you. I’m NOT gonna loose you ever again I promise…”
