Final Fantasy - Future Imperfect

Music: Harappa by E.S.Posthumus
Game: Final Fantasy VIII

While I don't usually do story vids, I was hammering out a possible fanfiction plot and wound up trying to piece it together on WMM instead of studying for exams. But I needed a break, so...

Story:
AU - Squall doesn't return from Time Compression, leaving Rina without a Knight. She refuses to take anyone else as her Knight, certain that Squall will return soon. Galbadia's war against Dollet and Trabia continues, with Dollet hiring Balamb Garden. Balamb sends troops to aid Dollet and Trabia, but also searches for Seifer, who is some people believe might know how to retrieve Squall. Seifer, however, has been recovering from Ultimecia's influence with his Posse and Ellone. They've been hearing about Rinoa's experimentations with magic in battle and at Balamb and are growing concerned. Unable to do anything about Rinoa, Seifer and Ellone go to Galbadia and convince Galbadia to call a truce. Seifer installs Ellone as Galbadia's temporary President until the country can create a new constitution.
Meanwhile Rinoa has returned to Balamb Garden where she's been unwittingly influencing the minds of her friends with magic. Rumors of a mystic in Fisheran's Horizon who can locate the lost lead Rinoa to order Balamb Garden, now under her control, to attack the town. The mystic, however is a fraud and Rinoa uses magic to cover her mistake. She then, finally, tracks down Seifer, but has already ordered the destruction of Galbadia Garden out of frustration. When Seifer tells Rinoa that he doesn't know how to get back Squall, she locks him, Fujin, and Raijin away in D-District Prison.
Rinoa magic has been resonating with the monsters on the moon, causing more of them to appear. The Sorceress can hear them calling to her an she convinces Laguna to allow her to go into space, ostensibly to use her magic to disperse the monsters. Instead she coordinates with a magically brainwashed SeeD team in the Lunatic Pandora and unleashes another Lunar Cry. Estharian forces then attack the Lunatic Pandora and sieze Rinoa.
As she's being sealed away, Rinoa realizes that her magic is warping her mind and her memories and that perhaps its better for her to be launched into space before she can do any further damage...

Additional Info - There's one point where I use a clip of possessed!Edea... imagine that's Ellone getting made President. I alos edited the music a little to shorten it. It shouldn't be too noticable, though.

So... this is the plot you want to challenge me with? *Grin * Awesome. I hope I can do the video justice. But, just one question, where is Squall?

Is this just part of the plot? 'Cause you were saying something about Squall seeing what Rinoa had become...

Well, I'm going to go write obsessively now.

Wow, I was about to email you with a link to this, but ou beat me to it. Yeah, this is the plot I offer as my challange. Well, half of it anyway. The second half is in the works. As you noticed... there's an apalling lack of Squall.

I'm attempting to turn plot part 2 into a vid, but its a little less... cooperative as this one was. I'll work on it for another day or so and then send you the rest of the plot regardless of the vid's status.

I really like the song choice, it fits the tone of the story really well.
