The Talk
One day, the two commanders of the military of two planets were
checking the battlegrounds for the next battle. They expected this battle to
determine the outcome of the war so they both planned heavily on the battle.
They decided that they would meet before the battle to discuss peace once more
before they both attacked. They met in the middle of the battlefield, each with
many snipers pointed at their heads to make sure that they dont try anything
funny. They had tried to discuss peace many time before, but to no avail. When
they were finally with radio distance of one another they began the final talk.
Hello Cid, its about time you showed up, Ive been waiting
for over 15 minutes. said one.
Well Sephiroth, youre a little jumpy today. remarked Cid.
Well it is the final battle is it not?
Yes, well I suppose youre right, everyone is dreading the suspense.
Shall we get down to business? asked Sephiroth.
Why not? No reason to keep everyone waiting.
Because this is our final peace talk I shall wish you good luck beforehand.
I think peace is still negotiable, so dont get all ready for the
battle.
Im always prepared for surprises. Replied Sephiroth.
If our planet give you 1k of magitronic liquid do you think we could arrange
a formal meeting with ambassadors instead of leaders of the military?
That doesnt sound very fair considering our planet has an abundant
amount of that recource does it?
Ok then, how about 50ks of Multisync metal? Would that be enough?
For some reason I get the feeling that you are desperate to make peace
to avoid anymore bloodshed.
Thats the general idea of peace talks. Isnt it?
Cmon Cid you and I both know that if we have already lost much of
our force that we should finish the job instead of just leaving it undone.
I agree in that sense but just because ambassadors meeting doesnt
mean that everything will be resolved.
Then why are you even suggesting it?
Because thats the whole point of these peace talks!
In that case, I wont agree to any talks with ambassadors for a pointless
cause. Sephiroth said with a harsh tone
I will suggest another way of hopefully bringing this war to an end without
slaughtering a million more lives. Said Cid
If you can come up with a better plan than the one Ive got the go
ahead.
I say we come to our senses about this stuff and at least call a truce
for a couple of weeks. Cid said with a hopeful tone.
If youre done Ill share my plan with you.
Go ahead.
I think that you should surrender you entire civilization to avoid any
bloodshed. The only ones killed will be the ones directly responsible for the
many deaths that have occurred, and all of you will be put into lives not as
luxurious as you are living now, but you can always work your way up again.
Sepiroth replied coldly.
I dont see how this is better than my idea.
No blood, no wasting time discussing, just immediate action.
I dont think so.
Ok, your decision, not mine.
See you on the field.
You too.
At that moment, they both left.
