Lacking sleep, accumulated stress and continuous tension for days, Cid could not help but falling asleep sitting in front of his desk. His head falling against the smooth surface of dark wood like a heavy metal ball, unaware after closing his eyes. Just as a panting attendant entered the room, getting no response to his call. Vital news awaited the main person in charge of the experiments being carried out, involving the subject, the main cause of the agitation suffered both in the laboratories and the nursing area.
Kefka Palazzo had awakened! Therefore, his idea, although risky, had been successful! Definitely the use of an Esper like that, in a category of which the effects of its magic could not yet be specified with equal certainty than the others, had been the result of desperation but Gestahl would have demanded it anyway, continuing the experiment sooner or later.
The scientist’s eyes snapped open, more alarmed by the abrupt intrusion than the excited screams that followed it. Feeling his mouth pasty and dry throat, before speaking Cid had to clear his throat to make his words come out clearly.
“Could you repeat what you just said?“ He asked, still slightly confused. And again, the information was exclaimed.
Amazed, feeling part of the burden that oppressed his heart fade away, Cid almost jumped out of his comfortable seat, heading to the open door, eager to see what was said with his own eyes, leaving the informant a few steps behind unable to catch the breath.
But Cid was not the only one to come to the point, several uniformed men protected by pieces of armor seemed to have advanced, followed by some nurses while the unpleasant sound of machinery became unpleasantly intense, thick smoke escaping through the entrance…
“KEFKA! “ Cid shouted between coughs, covering nose and mouth with one hand. To his clothes having been added the gaudy yellow coat. “Kefka, can you hear me?“ Cid insisted, even if he knew how the scene would end.
“WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?!” The young man’s screaming tore through the flames and the smoke that quickly engulfed the lab. He didn’t care that he could choke on it. He didn’t care that EVERYONE else could suffocate as well. The boy was furious and terrified, still attached to the infusion line that was nearly finished emptying.
“I TOLD YOU TO STOP! I TOLD YOU!” There’s a beeping sound as the infusion finishes and suddenly unlocks itself, the line falling out of his arm. he’s stunned, staring down at it. When had the Empire become like this?! When had they even thought to make something like that?!
The ice woman stands amid the flames, visible only to the distressed blond. She’s grinning maliciously at him and as she extends her arm toward the entrance, he does as well, sharp spears of ice shooting from his hands at the guards that were entering, impaling them through their armor. He felt nothing for them. He knew the soldiers weren’t here to help him. They were Gestahl’s men, not his own. The guards were never under his own command.
“CID!” He’s breathing deeply after he yells for the other, arm still held out straight, eyes still filled with panic. “COME IN HERE AND TELL ME I’M OKAY!”
