"Let's set down outside that village," Ami suggested, pointing ahead towards the outskirts of Kalm Town. "We can set up base there."

ooOOOo yes mam! Squall smirked and set it down exactly where she pointed, hows that for parking skills! Squall unbuckled himself and headed towards the ramp, giving Ami a peck on the top of her head as he walked past. "Come on guys! Everybody off!" Squall slowly ground to a hault... Wonder if we should check on Vieve?

"I'll look in on Vi on the way out..." Ami's eyes flashed... "Whoa..."
Her pace was thrown and she staggered slightly before the oracle hit with full impact.
A sudden vision. An enormous disturbance in the Lifestream... Akira?
She blinked and put a hand to her head. Is this real, or is it Jenova trying to distract me?

Squall heard Ami loose balance and looked round, "what is it?" Squall bounced over to her and held her arm, " You ok?" *looks around* " You looked totally spaced out"

Ami shook her head. "I'll be fine... I saw something strange, Akira communicating with the Lifestream..." She shook her head. "It could have been a trick. Jenova has a gift for manipulating minds. Either way, we'll catch up with Akira later."
Ami made her way towards the brig. She stood near the entrance to the holding cell in which she had placed her sister and gathered the nerve to look carefully inside...

Squall lowered the ramp and walked out, nice looking town! Squall stretched and took in a deep breath, well come back here after we save the world! * looks back into the ship. Where is everyone? " GUYS?!" *heads back up the ramp*

Lutz came running down the ramp.
Lutz: "I think I am going to be sick.
Not only have Lutz never flew in a ship before he never been in outer space, at those speeds, and with someone crushing in in the process. Lutz ran over to the nearest bushes and he thought he was going to puke.
OHHH gosh.....
Lutz finishes up and walks over to Squall and Ami.
Lutz: "I....I am ok...really...."

Squall placed his hand on his shoulder and gave it a little squeeze, Youve looked better buddy! " Guess that wasnt the best flight to have started with?" squall looked into the ship one last time, " I guess the others can follow us if the want to come... Away we go!" This is gonna be scary as hell!

"Wait up, guys," Ami called after Squall and Lutz. "I still have to see how Vieve is doing."
She wondered if she should ask someone to come with her-- she had a really bad feeling about this... Never mind that. She'll probably still be out cold, and even if she isn't, she'll be chained to the wall. All I want to do is make sure she's OK after that bumpy ride...
She unlocked the door and opened it slowly, her shoulder against the heavy iron, ready to yank it back if anything seemed amiss...
Watch out!
What--?

The door burst open, to the sound of a trumpeting voice.
"Make way for the Princess Iscariot!!! Bow before thy Princess!"
Vieve strode through the door, glaring down snobbily at the befuddled Ami, and continued her effete rambling. "Bow, all ye worms, before the glory of the Princess Iscariot!"
She slowed to a stop, irritated by Ami's reaction. "What, darest thee not to bow thy knee in the presence of thy Princess?! Insolence! I'll see thee hanged! GUARDS!!!"
She waited.
Nothing.
"Guards?"
Nothing.
Vi screamed. "It's revolution! I shall take this into my own hands!!!"
She drew her hand from under her cape as if holding a dagger, but it was obvious nothing was in her hand. Menace gleamed in her eyes. "And now, worm, know me and die!!!"
Just as her hand started to plunge forward, however, the glimmer of a ghostly hologramatic image of a dagger appeared in her clenched fist. Her hand slowed to a spasmic stop and dropped the dagger. The sound of it clanking to the ground echoed and sounded faraway. She sank to her knees, laughing madly.
"Even as I have betrayed thee, so too shall ye betray me?"
Her chuckling slowed to a stop, however, as she looked over her shoulder fearfully. She looked up at her sister, the shadow of terror on her face.
"May mercy be to me and thee..." Her expression melted into a smirk, and her face flickered for just a moment to the image of the one winged angel... "...for my King cometh..."
She screamed and leapt to her feet, running for the entrance of the ship, trying to escape the shadow that chased her, screaming with al her might.
"MERCY BE ON MY SOUL!!!"

Ami's blood ran cold-- not so much because of her sister's actions, but because of what had prompted them.
"I know that presence!" Ami shrieked, running full tilt after Vieve. Her voice was colored by the extremes of abject terror. "GUYS! HE'S HERE!" Kidd, where's Kidd?! "SOMEBODY STOP HER!"
No one heard. Ami went absolutely frantic. If a mountain had suddenly been placed in her way, she would have vaulted it. They can't get away!
A thunderclap erupted in her head. Ami screamed in pain as Jenova's laughter echoed into her thoughts.
Poor, young fool. All of this has led you, step by step, inexorably towards me. You brought my eldest son and my youngest daughter to me, both at once. What a very good child you have suddenly become.
Ami gasped for breath, but every nerve in her body had become raw. "No!"
Your brother tried to warn you, but no, you wouldn't listen. This has indeed been my game, my rules, my court, all along. Your headlong rush towards my destruction has led instead to your own.
You have at long last fulfilled your destiny, child.
Ami shrieked in rage. "DEATH IS COMING FOR YOU, JENOVA!!!"
It comes first for you... and all these pathetic lifeforms you love so dearly.
Amnesty screamed once more in her frustration and anger, but was quickly silenced by a rolling wave of pain unlike any she had ever known. She collapsed, wishing she could faint... but her pain tolerance had always been high.
LEAVE HER ALONE!
You cannot save her in death any more than you were able to in life.
D**N YOU!
You are truly d**ned, and you dare curse me?
He is not d**ned. Her love redeemed him.
What--? Who--? YOU!

Vieve burst from the ship, stumbling down the ramp and nearly faceplanting in the dirt. Her scream faded and her eyes lit up as she locked on the one good soul that had opened up to her during her time on the planet. She ran for Lutz with everything in her, screaming his name and flinging herself at his feet, wrapping her arms around his legs.
"Save me... I can't even see inside my own mind! He's coming for me..."
Her shuddering speech slowed, the presence of Lutz seeming to soothe her mind. She looked up at him.
"This... this can't be real. I remember... so many years ago, just a child... one of the doctors brought me a book with fairytales of princesses in it. It seemed so perfect in my mind..."
She stood, bitterness wracking her face. "I thought he brought it to me because he loved me and wanted me to be happy. But it only deepened my delusions... for his experimentation."
She hesitated, then wrapped her arms around Lutz in a sad and tender embrace.
"How love thee me?"

" Vieve?!" Squall drew his gunblade in a flash and pressed the point against the back of her neck, Howd she get out?!... AMI! " Lutz you alright holding her here? Dont let her leave!" Squall ran towards Vieves lock up, " AMI!" If shes done anything to her...

Vieve's eyes were puddles of sadness and shame. "They all hate me so. I can't help what I am. I wish everyone had as good a heart as you..."
