Disclaimer: You all know the drill, just thought I'd add a note that I do own Sayrion (along with Erin, Aires, Shaina, Soran, Oritsu, and Coritsu), and well, Squall owns FF8.

Chapter 16: Temptation

Sayrion stared at the blank walls surrounding him. He didn't know where he was; only that he was a master of the martial arts, and that his name was Sayrion Siri.

Oritsu walked into the room and grabbed Sayrion by the arm. "You're coming with me Siri!"

Sayrion stood up obediently. "We need you to bring out the true powers of your sisters."

Oritsu dragged Sayrion into the master's chambers. "Master! I got Sayrion Siri ready. I would like you to put into Erin Siri's mind about her brother. I'm going to use him as temptation for her to use her true powers."

"Good, I will do that. I trust that you and Commander Coritsu are ready?"

"Yes sir!"

"Dismissed."

The two left the room and found Coritsu waiting for him.

"Ready?"

"Yeah. He's going to put into Erin's memory information about Sayrion here."

"Good. You think this is going to work?"

"It has too!"

"Good, let's get going then!"

~~

Erin stared out the window of the train as they passed through the Balamb Side of the underwater tunnel. The train slowed to a stop, and they exited onto the plains.

Erin heard the announcement just as they were leaving; "The train to Galbadia Garden will be leaving in 10 minutes at 12:00 pm noon."

"Wow, it's almost noon already! Well, let's get going. I'm sure the headmaster is waiting for us!" stated Aires.

~~

Shaina and Soran stared as they stepped into the new ground. The landscape of Balamb was amazing. The two ran to catch up with the rest of the group who was already heading towards the garden.

~~

Erin was practically running towards it now. She didn't know why, but she could sense someone very close to her was there.

As she got closer, she saw three people warp in the distance.

~~

Coritsu opened her eyes when she finally felt the teleport spell end. So much for their troops, she figured. She figured they wouldn't make it through the spell.

As she looked around she saw some people walking in the distance, five of them were running. She smiled as she sensed that one of them was Erin Siri, but another one that she sensed surprised her. Aires Siri.

~~

Aires ran after her sister and she gasped as three people appeared in the distance. She could hear footsteps pounding behind her and figured it was Seifer. There were soon even more footsteps, and she figured everyone else was running when they saw the people appear.

~~

Rinoa got her blaster edge ready to shoot. She could see Selphie pulling out her nunchaku's, and Laguna was pulling out his machine gun. Everyone else was preparing their weapons as well. They didn't know what they were getting themselves into, but they were going to be prepared.

~~

Shaina grabbed her staff and Soran was pulling out his gun. She looked at him and he nodded, acknowledging he was ready. She nodded as well, and they started to run even faster to catch up with Aires and Erin.

~~

Sayrion stared at the group quickly approaching them. He just stood there, not knowing at all what to do. He then heard a voice in his head speak to him.

`Call out to her. Call out to Erin.'

"Erin?" he stated very loudly.

~~

Erin stopped suddenly, feeling a force insider of her take over. She could sense herself slowly walking towards the trio, but wasn't actually in control of her body.

~~

`Stop!'

"Stop!"

~~

Erin obeyed, stopping just feet in front of them. Aires was slowly walking up to Erin. She felt herself walk through some kind of barrier. She looked back only to find no one else was able to get through. When Shaina and Soran approached it, they somehow were able to get through.

~~

Coritsu gasped in shock.

"I thought you had KILLED Aires!"

~~

Oritsu was just as shocked as her.

"Yeah, so did I! And who are they?"

~~

Rinoa stared at the scene unfolding in front of them and saw the people arguing. They couldn't hear a word of what they were saying though.

~~

"Erin!"

Erin looked back at Aires, a look of want filling her eyes. She was starting to glow brightly.

~~

`Now, hold out your hand to the girl.'

"Aires, take my hand."

~~

Aires felt herself losing control of her body and was taking Erin's hand. Footsteps started to pound behind them as Aires started to glow, and as Sayrion took Erin's hand.

~~

Shaina ran forward and talked the girls apart. Soran disconnected Erin from Sayrion as well. Shaina felt herself land on the ground hard and heard something snap. She looked down at her arm and gasped in shock, but instead of a gasp, came a silent scream of pain.

`My arm is broken!' Shaina thought.

~~

Zell felt the barrier collapse and that was their cue to run in and help.

~~

Sayrion looked down at himself in disbelief. What had he been doing all this time? What was wrong with him? Erin, Aires, is that really them? Why does it feel like forever since I saw them last.

~~

Coritsu glared at Oritsu and then started to yell. "It's thanks to you this mission failed! If I lose a rank because of you, you'll wish that you never were born!" After some calming down, she finally said, "Let's go back."

Coritsu tried to grab Sayrion but got shocked at the touch. Not shocked, really. More like burnt. She stared at her finger as little burn lines started to show on her finger. So, instead, she grabbed Oritsu then whispered, "Warp."

~~

The two disappeared and they were left with the three Siri's all scattered as various people ran to help Erin and Relm. But no one went to help Sayrion.

"My name is Erin Sayling Siri…" Erin stated briefly, before passing out into the arms of Seifer. He picked her up and watched as the others went to help Aires.

~~

Aires looked around at the people huddled around her, and than stated a little more than Erin was able to manage. "My name is Aires Prayling Siri. Please help my brother… Sayrion…" And at that, Aires collapsed. Irvine picked her up and started to walk to Balamb Garden, but stopped next to Seifer, who had stopped next to the body of Sayrion.

~~

"Shaina, are you ok?" Soran asked.

"My… my arms broken…" Shaina stated plainly.

Soran helped her up, and when they were at a full stand, Soran picked up Shaina into his arms. "Relax, I'll get you to Balamb Garden."

~~

Sayrion gasped deeply for breath, then noticed two men carrying his sisters standing next to him. He felt a strong pair of female arms help him up, and then he was hoisted onto the back of a man dressed in black.

~~

Squall staggered slightly under the weight of Sayrion. He knew he could do this. He just knew he could help this boy out. Squall felt the body fall asleep on his back, and Squall decided to leave him like that. Everyone walked to the garden to report the bad news, but first to take the three injured teens to the hospital wing.
