Balamb Garden, home of the best trained warriors known solely as: SeeDs. After the sorceress attacks, Squall and Rinoa are planning to get married; Selphie and Irvine have already gotten married; Quistis received her instructor's license back; Zell has been dating the library girl known as Alicia; Seifer is a student once again and has changed his evil ways; Edea is back at Garden to train the new recruits; and Cid has turned over the director of Garden over to Squall.
But, there isn't going to be any peace on earth. A new evil has been born. She is a sorceress bent on destroying like the other Sorceress' that have done the same thing before her. Her name is Sorceress Galaxia.
Meanwhile, in Tokyo, five young girls are at a meeting at Raye's temple. Raye, the goddess of fire, is known as Sailor Mars; Serena, known as the leader, is known as Sailor Moon; Amy, the brains of the group, is known as Sailor Mercury; Mina, the love goddess, is known as Sailor Venus; Lita, the most powerful of the group, is known as Sailor Jupiter.
The SeeDs and the Sailor Scouts are just to be introduced to each other. They will need each others help to destroy Sorceress Galaxia.
Balamb Garden
Rinoa was in the cafeteria going over a wedding book; getting everything ready for her wedding with Squall. Quistis was with her, grading papers. Selphie burst in; her face radiant with joy (as always). Irvine was behind her, trying to keep up with her speed.
Zell entered, hand in hand with Alicia. Seifer came in after Zell, holding weapons and armor. Squall was the last one to enter. He went over to where Rinoa was and kissed her on the lips. She smiled and went back to studying the big book.
Quistis finished grading the papers and leaned back in her chair. "You know, it's the weekend. We could go somewhere." she said after a while.
The others looked at her with amazement. "It is the weekend," Selphie said, "but Rinoa needs all the time she has to plan the wedding."
"I guess you're right." Quistis said straightening up.
"How is the planning going anyway?" Squall asked his fiancee while playfully twisting her raven hair.
"It's going very well," said Rinoa, "I already ordered the flowers, reserved the church and figured out the bridesmaids. All you need to do is pick the best man."
Squall groaned. Picking wasn't his best talent. Every male in the room was his friend and he couldn't choose. "First tell me who the bridesmaids are. Then I'll choose."
Rinoa giggled. "The bridesmaids are Quistis, Selphie, Alicia and Edea."
"Isn't Edea a little to mature to be one?"
"That's what I said but she insisted."
"Okay, then I'll choose the best men that can take on the bridesmaids."
Squall looked over at the guys, who were all at one table. He got up and went to them. "Irvine, Zell, Seifer, you will be the best men."
"Fine." Irvine said simply. Seifer and Zell shrugged. Squall sighed, "Will you guys be best men or not?"
"We said fine, puberty boy." Seifer retorted playfully.
Tokyo- Juuban Temple
Raye sat in front of the holy fire. Her friends sat in back, watching her. "Oh great fire!"
The fire roared up. "Tell me who these 9 warriors are,"
The fire gently died down, leaving behind some visual screenplay of who the 9 warriors were.
A brown haired young man wearing a black leather jacket, a white shirt, black pants with 9 belts, was shown in front. He's cute, Raye thought. After the young man was a raven haired woman wearing a blue trench coat and black shorts. A necklace dangled from her neck.
Following the black haired woman was a young girl. Her hair was curled up on the sides and she wore a short yellow dress with brown boots. A man with a cowboy hat was after. He wore a brown coat and brown pants. Raye couldn't see if he was wearing a shirt under.
A spiky hair blond stood behind the guy with the cowboy hat. He had a weird tattoo on one side of his face. He wore long baggy shorts and a muscle shirt. A blonde man was following. He wore a gray trench coat on top of a black muscle shirt. His pants were a black and he wore black shoes.
A pretty blond woman showed next. Her hair was put up with a pin and she wore a pink dress with a whip in it's hoister.
A young girl, about Serena's age, was holding hands with the spiky haired man. Her clothes were modern; a white plain shirt and a low rise skirt. Her hair reached her waist and it was tied back by a bow.
Last but not least was an elderly woman, but didn't seem elderly. She wore a black dress and her hair was black reaching just after her waist. Her arms were covered by see through gloves and wore high heel black shoes.
The flame roared up again. "Tell me who their names are," Raye commanded. The flame stayed roaring and carefully a group of names began to form: Squall Leonhart, Rinoa Heartilly, Selphie Tilmitt, Quistis Trepe, Seifer Almasy, Irvine Kinneas, Alicia Ravenheart, Zell Dincht and Edea.
The flame died down and Raye stood up and turned to her friends. "They are the nine warriors. We should go meet them."
"But Raye," Serena squeaked, "We don't know where they are."
"I could find out," Amy spoke up. Everybody turned to her. They nodded and let Amy do her stuff.
Amy took out her minicomputer and imputed the 9 people's names. Afterwards, a ringing sound was heard as she waited for the computer to search. Then, a click notified that the search was complete. "Balamb Garden," she said softly.
"Balamb Garden? I never heard that name before." Mina stood up and brushed herself off.
"It's in another time period. Serena," Amy turned towards Serena, "We need you to use the key Rini left with you. That's the only way to get there."
Serena nodded and extracted the small time key.
Mars Power!
Jupiter Power!
Mercury Power!
Venus Power!
Moon Cosmic Power!
The 5 girls transformed into Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus and Sailor Moon. They formed a circle and held hands as a beam of their home planets color formed and Serena stood in the middle holding the key. "Time Key! Take us to the era of Balamb Garden!"
The group disappeared in a flash of light as they were transported to Balamb Garden.
Balamb Garden-Library
The five girls landed in the library of Balamb Garden. They walked around, looking at the different books. Amy, as always, checked out a book named: The Science of Sorcery.
"We have to find these 9 people. Everybody split up." Raye went out of the library followed by the others. After reaching the exit, they dispersed and went different directions.
Raye searched the quad, where a group of unknown people were performing. A microphone was on the stage and Raye looked at it with longing, No. I have to find those people. She left and went to the facility next to it.
Amy searched for the group in the dorms, but found the hall empty. She left to search another place.
Mina came upon the infirmary, where a chubby woman was sitting at her desk. She went up to her. "Excuse me," Mina said politely. The woman looked up from her paperwork and looked at Mina. She gave her a friendly smile. "May I help you?" she asked, standing up.
"Yes. I'm looking for a Squall Leonhart and some other people that are with him."
"Ah. They could be found in the cafeteria. Look for the red arrow on the floor. That's the cafeteria."
"Thank you," Mina smiled and left.
Lita went to the second floor and searched the classrooms. Empty. Hm. I wonder where those people could be. She thought as she poked her head into the classes.
Serena, being a food lover, found the cafeteria. She noticed a group of teenagers sitting at a table. She gasped. There they are! she happily thought.
The other 4 entered as if reading her thoughts and went up to the group.
Squall looked up and found strange girls wearing a variety of colors. By instinct, he grabbed his gun blade and pointed it at them. "What's wrong Squall?" Rinoa asked while looking up.
Quistis and Selphie stood up and went up to the girls.
Seifer, Irvine and Zell stood up and grabbed their weapons.
Alicia looked after them and frowned.
Serena screamed and hid behind Raye, "Calm down Serena." Raye said with a sweat drop. "Who are you?" Squall's voice was low and dangerous as he asked.
"We are the Sailor Scouts and we're here to ask if you could help us."
Squall lowered his gun blade and the others followed suit.
"Sailor Scouts?" Rinoa asked, with no knowledge of who these girls were.
"I am Sailor Moon!"
"I am Sailor Mars!"
"I am Sailor Mercury!"
"I am Sailor Venus!"
"I am Sailor Jupiter!"
The girls did their poses and the other group sweat dropped. "You girls..have the name of planets?"
Seifer asked.
"Yes. We are from those planets, but we were sent to earth after the moon kingdom was destroyed. My mother, Queen Serenity, sent us to start our lives anew on earth."
Sailor Moon explained.
The group nodded understandingly. They sat down and motioned for the girls to do the same.
"So, tell us why you need our help," Squall said kindly.
"Well....our earth was attacked by a woman named Sorceress Galaxia. She's a tough one and we couldn't stop her ourselves." Raye said.
"A-a sorceress?" Rinoa asked, fright obvious in her voice. "You know about Sorceresses?" Amy asked.
"Yes. We've had encounters with many." Seifer broke in.
The group was silent for a while. "Well," Lita broke the uncomfortable silence, "Then you can help us...right?"
"Of course we can, Sailor Jupiter." Selphie said. Alicia stood up and put a comforting hand on Serena's shoulder. "We will help you. Don't worry." she said kindly. Serena smiled and nodded. "Well," everybody turned to Irvine, "Where should we go? Their earth or stay in our earth?"
Selphie smacked him over the head with a sweat drop sliding down her face. "OF COURSE WE'RE GOING TO THEIR EARTH!!" she screamed.
Irvine bowed his head in disgrace. "I'm sorry honey."
Edea walked in. "Oh, let me introduce you. This is our matron Edea."
The girls stood and greeted her one-by-one. "Nice to meet you," Edea said kindly.
"We have to get to our earth," Sailor Moon stood up and the girls followed. "All of you need to stand in the middle." Serena motioned to the middle of the circle that she and the girls formed.
The other group nodded and stepped inside the circle. Edea was the last one in. "Time Key! Take us to Tokyo!" Serena commanded. The girls emanated lights as before and before long were zapped to Tokyo with the new found friends.
Nevagerse- Galaxia's throne room
Galaxia moved her hands in a circular motion on top of the orb and before long the orb showed her the Sailor Scouts and the SeeDs. "Pathetic humans," she growled.
"Ebo!" Galaxia called to a monster bigger than a dog.
"Yes your highness?" Ebo bowed to Galaxia. "Go to earth and destroy those humans..don't hesitate to kill anything that gets in your way."
"Yes your highness," with that, Ebo disappeared in a flash of red light.
Tokyo- Serena's house
"Welcome to my house," Serena opened the door and everybody stepped inside. The girls untransformed, leaving the SeeDs in utter shock.
"W-what was that?" Seifer asked in awe.
"We transform." Raye said simply.
"MOM!" Serena screamed. The others cleaned out their ears because Serena literally left them deaf.
A woman with long blue hair appeared at the doorway. "Good evening Serena. Who are they?" Serena's mother motioned to the SeeDs. "They're friends Ma." Serena said. Her mother shrugged and turned back to her daughter, "Darien called. He left you a message."
Serena nodded and turned back to the SeeDs after her mother disappeared into the kitchen. "Who's Darien?" Quistis asked. "My boyfriend and tutor."
The others sweat dropped.
They were herded into Serena's room, where her brother was sitting at her computer. "GET OUT!!" Serena commanded. "Jeeze, you're going to put somebody deaf," her brother mocked as he walked out.
"I think she already did," Squall said while cleaning out his ears.
A cat came in. She was black with a crescent moon on her forehead. "Oh! What a cute little kitty!" Selphie said, petting the cat. "Don't touch me!" said the cat.
Selphie screamed, "That cat can talk!"
"Of course I can talk. My name is Luna."
Serena picked up Luna and placed her on her lap.
"So, we need to make a plan to destroy Galaxia." Quistis said. The others nodded.
"Luna, could you explain about Galaxia?" Serena asked the black talking cat. Luna nodded and looked at everybody. "I think this will help."
Serena's room disappeared as a white place took it's place. Later, the white place turned into a horrible scene of destruction and murder.
Everybody appeared there. Raye's clothes transformed into a red dress that reached her feet. Her hair was pulled back by a red bow. Mina was wearing an orange dress; the same length. Her hair was lose and the bow she wore stayed on. Amy was also wearing a dress; a powder blue one. Lita was wearing a forest green dress and a bow on her hair. Serena was wearing her white princess gown. Their planet's sign was shown on their foreheads.
The SeeD's clothes transformed also. Squall was now wearing a knight's uniform and Seifer the same. Rinoa was wearing a pink dress that was really tight. Her hair was picked up into a ponytail surrounded with pearls. Irvine and Zell were wearing knights costumes also. A sword could be seen by their side. Selphie and Alicia were wearing the same colored dress and their hair also looked alike. Edea was wearing her purple dress and gloves.
A scene unfolded in front of the heroes and heroines. A woman wearing a gold dress and who's hair was picked up into a bun, was causing destruction by throwing fireballs at the people there. The SeeDs gasped as they saw themselves being killed by her. The Sailor Scouts stayed calm as they watched how Galaxia killed their parents and them. A tear slid down Serena's cheek.
The war place turned back into Serena's room and everybody was back into their normal clothes. "So that was Galaxia," Rinoa whispered. "But...how come we saw ourselves getting killed?" Seifer asked cautiously.
"That was our past life," Edea spoke up, turning everybody's attention toward her. "Yes. Our past life. You all were killed and were sent to earth. We all were royalty on other planets. We came to earth to live our lives anew, without any memories of our past. That's what happened to Princess Serenity and the others."
Everybody was silent.
The silence made Serena uncomfortable. She got up and sat on the computer chair that was adjacent to her bed. Squall stood up. "I'm going outside to think about this." He left before anybody could say anything.
"This is to weird..anybody agree?" Seifer looked around. The faces of his friends were worried. "Yes, it is weird." Rinoa said.
A crash was heard outside. "What was that?!" Serena stood up abruptly, causing the chair to fall behind her. Amy looked outside and saw a monster. "It's a monster!" She said, turning back to everybody.
"You know what to do girls!" Luna screamed. The girls nodded and held up their transforming wands.
Mercury Power!
Mars Power!
Venus Power!
Jupiter Power!
Moon Cosmic Power!
Before their eyes, the group saw the girls transform into the clothes that they had first seen on them when they met. They stood up, holding their weapons tightly. All ran outside to where the monster was.
Ebo looked as the warriors came to confront him. "Stop right there buddy! I am Sailor Moon and I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"
Ebo laughed. Sailor Moon sweat dropped. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!"
Without answering, Ebo threw an energy ball at Serena. Serena jumped out of the way, but the ball grazed her left arm. "OW!" she said while nursing her arm. "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" A beam shot out of Sailor Venus' finger. Ebo didn't have time to dodge. The beam hit him square in the stomach, disintegrating him.
"What was that?" Squall asked. "It was one of Galaxia's minions." Sailor Mars informed him.
"And my most weak one indeed," a wicked voice turned heads. "GALAXIA?!" Serena screamed in surprise.
"Yes, that's my name and you better never forget it!"
"We're not going to forget....we'll remember the name of the bitch that we killed." Selphie said.
"Such big words for such a small and weak woman." Galaxia hissed.
"Less talking more fighting!" Rinoa said.
"Whatever you wish," Galaxia looked at all the warriors. "Which one of you should I eliminate first?"
"How about none," Zell jumped at Galaxia, his fists ready to punch. Before hitting her, however, Galaxia teleported and left Zell looking at the ground. Galaxia threw a ball of fire his way and hit him right on target. Zell landed with a thud on the ground. "ZELL!" Alicia ran over to her boyfriend. She picked his head up and put it on her lap. His eyes were closed. "Zell! Wake up!" Alicia shook Zell, but to no avail did she manage to wake him up.
Galaxia smirked. "One down, thirteen to go." The sorceress turned back to the others, who were awe struck at what she did to Zell. Galaxia pointed a finger at Squall. Out of that finger, a ray of light fired out. The beam headed towards Squall. "Squall!" Rinoa screamed, jumping in his way. The beam hit her stomach and went through her. Blood splattered on Squall as Rinoa fell to the floor. "Rinoa?!" Squall slapped her gently, but she was dead. "Rinoa! You can't leave me now!" he sobbed.
"That's it! You've killed too many people! I can't let you kill more!" Edea shouted. She brought her hands together and her black dress was replaced by her sorceress gown. She formed an ice ball and then hurled at Galaxia. Galaxia stayed put, laughing at the pathetic little ball that was coming her way. She stopped it. The ice ball ricocheted off her hand and went towards Irvine. But, instead of it being a ball, Galaxia transformed it from a round ball to a sharp icicle. The icicle headed straight into Irvine's heart.
Literally, Irvine's heart exploded like a balloon being pricked by a sharp object. Blood flowed uncontrollably from his mouth as he fell back into the ground. Selphie watched, her mouth open in shock. She couldn't say anything.
Galaxia smirked, "It's no use fighting me!" With that she left.
Squall held Rinoa in his arms and hugged her lifeless body to him. Tears fell freely from his eyes and slid down his cheek and landed on Rinoa's chest.
"Selphie?" Quistis went up to the stunned girl. Selphie fell down to her knees and sobbed in the ground. Later, she got up and excused herself.
She went inside of Serena's house and went into the kitchen. Serena's mother was nowhere in sight, so Selphie searched the drawers for a knife. She found a chef's knife and held it up so it was inches from her heart.
Quistis saw through the window at what Selphie was going to do. "Selphie!" she screamed as she ran inside. When she got there, the chef's knife was in Selphie's lifeless hand.
Tokyo Cemetery
"We are here today to remember our loved ones who lost their lives." The priest said above the crying and mourning. "That is all," the priest closed the Bible and got up from the stage.
After the funeral, Squall wanted to be left alone. Alicia had the intentions of mimicking Selphie by killing herself. Quistis had shook her head.
"How can I let Rinoa get in front of me?" Squall asked accusingly. "She risked her life for you Squall." Seifer told him.
"I know she did, but.."
"But what?"
Squall stayed silent and shook his head to dismiss the subject.
"We should be leaving to Garden now." Quistis told Serena. "But..we still need your help to defeat Galaxia." Serena pleadingly begged. "I'm sorry, Serena. I can't watch other people I care for die."
Serena sighed, "Okay." She held the key in front of her and let the SeeDs get together. "Time Key, take these warriors back to Balamb Garden."
Quistis waved sadly to the five girls and the latter did the same.
Balamb Garden
The group arrived at Balamb Garden and were greeted by a very excited Xu. "Where have you guys been?" she asked looking around. Something wasn't right to her. "Where's Rinoa, Zell and Irvine?"
Squall looked at her and broke down crying for Rinoa. "What's wrong?! You're scaring me..."
"Rinoa, Zell and Irvine were killed, Xu. We don't want to talk about it." Seifer explained.
Xu nodded sadly and let the group inside of Garden.
Alicia ran to her dorm room and broke down crying when she got there. Quistis, Seifer and Edea decided to learn more about Galaxia so they headed towards the library. Squall wanted to be left alone so he walked towards Balamb.
Balamb Garden- Library
Quistis flipped through the pages of the book that talked about different sorceresses; good and bad. The book was separated into two sections; Evil and Good. Quistis quickly found the tag and turned it over to the Evil side.
Edea was searching for more books and Seifer was reading with Quistis.
Quistis squinted her eyes to read the miniature words that were typed in the pages. Finally, a name caught her attention. She looked to it and found the name Galaxia and her entire profile. A picture wasn't in the book, but Quistis knew exactly how she looked like.
Galaxia's profile was next to the box that was supposed to provide a picture. Quistis and Seifer read the profile with interest.
Name: Galaxia
Age: Unknown
Gender: Female
Brief Description: Tall woman, brown-blond hair, blue eyes. Her eyes glint with evil. Her dress covers her entire body because a deformity at birth makes her keep it secret.
Family History: Was raised by Adel.
Magic Preferences: making and throwing fireballs, teleportation and transforming objects from one shape to the other.
Known ways to defeat her: None
"None?!" Quistis exclaimed, shutting the book. "There has to be one- at least one- way to defeat her."
Edea came up to them. "You found something I suppose?"
"Yes. It gives her profile and says that there is no way to defeat her; absolutely none."
"Maybe there is none, Quistis." Seifer said.
Quistis sighed, "I won't give up till I find one way to actually defeat her." With that, she got up from the table and left the library.
Tokyo- Juuban Temple
The girls were at the temple; not for a meeting, but for a leisurely girl-to-girl talk. All of the girls were there, except for Serena. "What a surprise," Raye said sarcastically. Amy was reading a book; Lita was in the kitchen cooking with Raye's Grandpa; Mina was reading a comic book; Raye was sweeping the front steps.
Serena ran to the temple. "Sorry I'm late guys. I got another detention."
"Another detention?" Raye asked sympathetically.
"For what?" Lita demanded.
"For not doing my homework," Serena hung her head in shame.
"I thought you told me you did the homework?" Amy said, closing the book and walking up to them.
Serena sweat dropped.
"What are we going to do with you Serena?" Mina said, shaking her head.
The girls went inside the temple to where the fire was crackling. "We need to find a way to defeat Galaxia," Raye said, sitting down in front of the fire.
"Finding a way to defeat Galaxia is like finding the answer to the meaning of life." Mina joked. The others sweat dropped.
"Still, we should still try," Raye said, giggling a little at Mina's joke.
There was silence for a while. Then, Serena started singing. "SHUT UP SERENA!" Raye hit her over the head.
Balamb Garden- Classroom
"Welcome class," Quistis said smiling at her students. She started today as an instructor and she is taking full advantage of it.
"Good morning, Miss Trepe," the students said in unison.
"Today we're going to the fire cavern for those that are starting as SeeDs. Raise your hands if you're new."
Three students raised their hands. Among them, Alicia was one. "Okay, meet at the front gate at 1300 hours." Quistis said standing up. The students started leaving and Alicia went up to her friend.
"Quistis? When will I go to the fire cavern?" she asked timidly. "You're going at the same time as the others. What's wrong?" Quistis sympathetically asked. "Nothing," Alicia said in a low voice that Quistis had to get closer to her. Alicia left before Quistis could respond her.
Meanwhile, in the confines of the darkness, a creature with red eyes stood watching the blond woman. It grinned, showing it's ugly yellow teeth. Quistis was the next one going down.
Balamb Garden- Dorm Rooms
Squall stayed in the confines of his dorm until he was needed. Gradually, the memory of Rinoa began fading away. He needed to forget about her and continue with his life that he was lucky enough to keep because of Rinoa.
He threw a ball up and down in the air to keep him busy. After a while, his eyes threatened to close. They did and Squall turned over to sleep.
Quistis went up to her dorm room and unlocked the door. She let herself in and shut the door behind her. She threw her whip aside and changed to her sleeping gown. She slipped in her bed and soon was escaping to the dream world.
Seifer was listening to rock music with headphones on. He sang along. Then, he took off his headphones and placed them on his bedside table. He put his covers over him and closed his eyes.
Alicia was hugging a picture of Zell to her and tears slid freely down her cheeks. She just couldn't come to forget about him. She just couldn't. He was the reason that she wanted to become a SeeD. To be with him. But now that he was gone, she joined SeeD to help defeat Galaxia. Alicia was going to get revenge.
She kissed the picture one last time and placed it on her bedside table. She turned off the lamp and turned to her other side and fell asleep.
Everybody was sleeping; oblivious to the creature that was watching them from the corner of darkness.
Tokyo- Serena's House
Serena bid goodbye to her friends and went inside her house. The house was silent save for the occasional purr from Luna. Serena slipped off her shoes and tiptoed to her room. Luna was sleeping on top of her bed. Serena gently took her off and placed her in her cat bed. Serena slipped into bed and let sleep take over.
Tokyo- Amy's House
Amy was studying for a test that she was having tomorrow. She just couldn't go to sleep before finishing. "Amy?" her mother called, turning on the living room light. "You should go to sleep honey. It's already midnight."
"In a minute mother," Amy said to her mother. Her mother sighed and went back to her bedroom. Finally, Amy closed the textbook and stood up from the chair. She turned off the lamp light and the living room light.
She brushed her teeth and left to her bedroom; adjacent to her mothers. She threw back the covers and slid in. She closed her eyes and in an instant was asleep.
Tokyo- Mina's House
Mina picked up her hair in a bun and slid into bed. Artemis was watching her and then closed his eyes. Mina went under the covers and turned on a flashlight. She started reading a magazine. "Mina! You should go to sleep!" Scolded Artemis. "Aw...Artemis. Just a little while longer? Please?" Mina begged. Artemis shook his head. "No Mina. Tomorrow you got an important test and need to get a good night's sleep."
Mina groaned and turned off the flashlight and put the covers over her. She exited to the dream world like the others.
Tokyo- Lita's House
"YES! THEY WON!! IN YOUR FACE KEN!" Lita jumped up in excitement; her football team had won. Ken bowed his head in defeat. "I guess the better team won." He said, smiling.
"Lita! Time for bed!" Lita's mother called from her room.
"I guess I better go," Ken picked up his coat and kissed Lita lightly on the lips. Lita blushed.
Lita turned off the television and went to her room. She got into her bed and closed her eyes; darkness taking over her.
Tokyo- Juuban Temple
Raye sat in front of the fire, looking for ways to defeat Galaxia. But to no avail. Galaxia was the strongest enemy the scouts have ever faced. No person can be this strong, Raye thought. But then, she thought that Galaxia was no human; but a monster that was immortal.
"Raye?" Chad poked his head through the doors. Raye kept his back to him, "What is it Chad?"
"Grandpa says to go to bed. You have a test tomorrow remember?"
Raye sighed and stood up. She turned towards Chad and smiled. "Thanks for reminding me Chad." She said as she walked out.
As Raye walked down the temple halls to her room, she felt a strange presence near by. Was it just the wind? Or was it something else? Raye shrugged and hurried to her room. She changed into her sleeping clothes and slid into bed. Her eyes closed immediately.
Unbeknownst to Raye, a creature with yellow eyes watched the fire goddess with great content from the shadows. He grinned evilly. Raye was the target to kill from the Sailor Scouts.
Balamb Garden- Cafeteria
It was a quiet day at Balamb Garden. The remaining SeeDs were eating breakfast in the cafeteria. It was so empty and lifeless now that the lively Zell and Selphie weren't around. If Zell would have been there with them, the hotdogs would be gone and the tray that the others had in front of them would be barren.
Alicia was tightly holding a picture of Zell to her chest. She was silent and made the others worry. Seifer tried to cheer her up by acting like Zell. Did it work? Not at all. Alicia cried and that made everybody glare at Seifer. "What? I was just trying to help." He said. "Some help," Quistis hissed. Seifer bowed his head in shame and stayed quiet for the rest of breakfast.
Afterwards; Quistis went with Squall to take a walk down the beach; and Seifer and Alicia stayed alone (which, may I say, was not Alicia's plan for having fun).
At the beach, Quistis and Squall talked for hours; her telling him how much being a teacher made her feel happy; and he telling her that he would forget about Rinoa and live his life.
The sun was setting on their day and Squall and Quistis walked back to Garden. On their trip, however, they were stopped.
Squall took out his gun blade and Quistis her whip. "Who are you?!" Squall demanded.
The monster was of a tall height and had a powerful build. Black energy flowed down an arm that looked like an anvil. His body was covered with patches of red; one eye was closed due to a cut that was made with a clumsy hand. His open eye was of crimson; as was the patches. He wasn't wearing clothes, but didn't have a manly look to him.
"Who are you?!" Squall demanded again, irritation growing in his voice.
The monster stayed silent as it eyed Quistis. He raised his `normal' arm and pointed a finger at her. "W-why is it pointing at me?" Quistis asked frightened.
Squall shrugged and turned his attention back to the monster, who was nowhere in sight. "Where did it go?" Squall lowered the gun blade and looked around. Where is it? he thought angrily.
Then, a piercing scream broke through his thoughts. He turned around. Quistis was held by the neck, dangling above the monster.
"Help me!" she said chokingly. Squall nodded and charged at the monster. He managed to cut Quistis loose from it's grasp. She fell to the ground, massaging her neck. She had a hard time breathing; the monster had a tight grip on her.
Titan (it's name) turned it's attention to Squall. Squall was breathing hard and looking at the monster. Titan grabbed Squall in the same death grip he had on Quistis. But, this time was different. Instead of keeping on holding him, Titan threw Squall to the ground. As Squall struggled to get up, the monster brought up it's evil-surged anvil arm.
Before he could bring it down, killing Squall, Titan was stopped by a whip holding back his arm. He growled and pulled the whip. Quistis was sent flying into a big, ragged rock nearby. She fell to the ground unconscious; probably dead.
Titan then stood over Squall and was about to finish him, to, but Galaxia appeared hovering in the sky. "Your work here is done, Titan. You may leave." She told the monster.
Titan nodded and then looked back down at Squall. "You were saved, boy." Galaxia said while cackling madly as she and Titan left.
Squall stood up, his arm aching with pain. He put his good hand on it and staggered over to the unconscious (or dead; whichever you think) Quistis.
He set his gun blade down and picked up; with much effort; Quistis' head. He set it on his lap (if you think her head popped off; you're wrong). Blood spewed from her mouth as she achingly opened her eyes. "S-squall?" she said weakly, blood spitting out with every letter and word. He smiled kindly and cupped her head in his hands. "You're going to be alright, instructor. You just have to be."
Quistis slightly smiled and weakly raised her own hand to her former student's cheek. "It was fun being around with you guys-she breathed unevenly- "very fun. Thank you for letting me see my true self."
As Squall's eyes flooded with new found tears, Quistis' hand dropped lifelessly from his cheek onto the sand.
Squall gently rocked her dead body. "No," he whispered, "Thank you."
Please Switch To Disc Two (heh just kidding)
End Part One
But, there isn't going to be any peace on earth. A new evil has been born. She is a sorceress bent on destroying like the other Sorceress' that have done the same thing before her. Her name is Sorceress Galaxia.
Meanwhile, in Tokyo, five young girls are at a meeting at Raye's temple. Raye, the goddess of fire, is known as Sailor Mars; Serena, known as the leader, is known as Sailor Moon; Amy, the brains of the group, is known as Sailor Mercury; Mina, the love goddess, is known as Sailor Venus; Lita, the most powerful of the group, is known as Sailor Jupiter.
The SeeDs and the Sailor Scouts are just to be introduced to each other. They will need each others help to destroy Sorceress Galaxia.
Balamb Garden
Rinoa was in the cafeteria going over a wedding book; getting everything ready for her wedding with Squall. Quistis was with her, grading papers. Selphie burst in; her face radiant with joy (as always). Irvine was behind her, trying to keep up with her speed.
Zell entered, hand in hand with Alicia. Seifer came in after Zell, holding weapons and armor. Squall was the last one to enter. He went over to where Rinoa was and kissed her on the lips. She smiled and went back to studying the big book.
Quistis finished grading the papers and leaned back in her chair. "You know, it's the weekend. We could go somewhere." she said after a while.
The others looked at her with amazement. "It is the weekend," Selphie said, "but Rinoa needs all the time she has to plan the wedding."
"I guess you're right." Quistis said straightening up.
"How is the planning going anyway?" Squall asked his fiancee while playfully twisting her raven hair.
"It's going very well," said Rinoa, "I already ordered the flowers, reserved the church and figured out the bridesmaids. All you need to do is pick the best man."
Squall groaned. Picking wasn't his best talent. Every male in the room was his friend and he couldn't choose. "First tell me who the bridesmaids are. Then I'll choose."
Rinoa giggled. "The bridesmaids are Quistis, Selphie, Alicia and Edea."
"Isn't Edea a little to mature to be one?"
"That's what I said but she insisted."
"Okay, then I'll choose the best men that can take on the bridesmaids."
Squall looked over at the guys, who were all at one table. He got up and went to them. "Irvine, Zell, Seifer, you will be the best men."
"Fine." Irvine said simply. Seifer and Zell shrugged. Squall sighed, "Will you guys be best men or not?"
"We said fine, puberty boy." Seifer retorted playfully.
Tokyo- Juuban Temple
Raye sat in front of the holy fire. Her friends sat in back, watching her. "Oh great fire!"
The fire roared up. "Tell me who these 9 warriors are,"
The fire gently died down, leaving behind some visual screenplay of who the 9 warriors were.
A brown haired young man wearing a black leather jacket, a white shirt, black pants with 9 belts, was shown in front. He's cute, Raye thought. After the young man was a raven haired woman wearing a blue trench coat and black shorts. A necklace dangled from her neck.
Following the black haired woman was a young girl. Her hair was curled up on the sides and she wore a short yellow dress with brown boots. A man with a cowboy hat was after. He wore a brown coat and brown pants. Raye couldn't see if he was wearing a shirt under.
A spiky hair blond stood behind the guy with the cowboy hat. He had a weird tattoo on one side of his face. He wore long baggy shorts and a muscle shirt. A blonde man was following. He wore a gray trench coat on top of a black muscle shirt. His pants were a black and he wore black shoes.
A pretty blond woman showed next. Her hair was put up with a pin and she wore a pink dress with a whip in it's hoister.
A young girl, about Serena's age, was holding hands with the spiky haired man. Her clothes were modern; a white plain shirt and a low rise skirt. Her hair reached her waist and it was tied back by a bow.
Last but not least was an elderly woman, but didn't seem elderly. She wore a black dress and her hair was black reaching just after her waist. Her arms were covered by see through gloves and wore high heel black shoes.
The flame roared up again. "Tell me who their names are," Raye commanded. The flame stayed roaring and carefully a group of names began to form: Squall Leonhart, Rinoa Heartilly, Selphie Tilmitt, Quistis Trepe, Seifer Almasy, Irvine Kinneas, Alicia Ravenheart, Zell Dincht and Edea.
The flame died down and Raye stood up and turned to her friends. "They are the nine warriors. We should go meet them."
"But Raye," Serena squeaked, "We don't know where they are."
"I could find out," Amy spoke up. Everybody turned to her. They nodded and let Amy do her stuff.
Amy took out her minicomputer and imputed the 9 people's names. Afterwards, a ringing sound was heard as she waited for the computer to search. Then, a click notified that the search was complete. "Balamb Garden," she said softly.
"Balamb Garden? I never heard that name before." Mina stood up and brushed herself off.
"It's in another time period. Serena," Amy turned towards Serena, "We need you to use the key Rini left with you. That's the only way to get there."
Serena nodded and extracted the small time key.
Mars Power!
Jupiter Power!
Mercury Power!
Venus Power!
Moon Cosmic Power!
The 5 girls transformed into Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Venus and Sailor Moon. They formed a circle and held hands as a beam of their home planets color formed and Serena stood in the middle holding the key. "Time Key! Take us to the era of Balamb Garden!"
The group disappeared in a flash of light as they were transported to Balamb Garden.
Balamb Garden-Library
The five girls landed in the library of Balamb Garden. They walked around, looking at the different books. Amy, as always, checked out a book named: The Science of Sorcery.
"We have to find these 9 people. Everybody split up." Raye went out of the library followed by the others. After reaching the exit, they dispersed and went different directions.
Raye searched the quad, where a group of unknown people were performing. A microphone was on the stage and Raye looked at it with longing, No. I have to find those people. She left and went to the facility next to it.
Amy searched for the group in the dorms, but found the hall empty. She left to search another place.
Mina came upon the infirmary, where a chubby woman was sitting at her desk. She went up to her. "Excuse me," Mina said politely. The woman looked up from her paperwork and looked at Mina. She gave her a friendly smile. "May I help you?" she asked, standing up.
"Yes. I'm looking for a Squall Leonhart and some other people that are with him."
"Ah. They could be found in the cafeteria. Look for the red arrow on the floor. That's the cafeteria."
"Thank you," Mina smiled and left.
Lita went to the second floor and searched the classrooms. Empty. Hm. I wonder where those people could be. She thought as she poked her head into the classes.
Serena, being a food lover, found the cafeteria. She noticed a group of teenagers sitting at a table. She gasped. There they are! she happily thought.
The other 4 entered as if reading her thoughts and went up to the group.
Squall looked up and found strange girls wearing a variety of colors. By instinct, he grabbed his gun blade and pointed it at them. "What's wrong Squall?" Rinoa asked while looking up.
Quistis and Selphie stood up and went up to the girls.
Seifer, Irvine and Zell stood up and grabbed their weapons.
Alicia looked after them and frowned.
Serena screamed and hid behind Raye, "Calm down Serena." Raye said with a sweat drop. "Who are you?" Squall's voice was low and dangerous as he asked.
"We are the Sailor Scouts and we're here to ask if you could help us."
Squall lowered his gun blade and the others followed suit.
"Sailor Scouts?" Rinoa asked, with no knowledge of who these girls were.
"I am Sailor Moon!"
"I am Sailor Mars!"
"I am Sailor Mercury!"
"I am Sailor Venus!"
"I am Sailor Jupiter!"
The girls did their poses and the other group sweat dropped. "You girls..have the name of planets?"
Seifer asked.
"Yes. We are from those planets, but we were sent to earth after the moon kingdom was destroyed. My mother, Queen Serenity, sent us to start our lives anew on earth."
Sailor Moon explained.
The group nodded understandingly. They sat down and motioned for the girls to do the same.
"So, tell us why you need our help," Squall said kindly.
"Well....our earth was attacked by a woman named Sorceress Galaxia. She's a tough one and we couldn't stop her ourselves." Raye said.
"A-a sorceress?" Rinoa asked, fright obvious in her voice. "You know about Sorceresses?" Amy asked.
"Yes. We've had encounters with many." Seifer broke in.
The group was silent for a while. "Well," Lita broke the uncomfortable silence, "Then you can help us...right?"
"Of course we can, Sailor Jupiter." Selphie said. Alicia stood up and put a comforting hand on Serena's shoulder. "We will help you. Don't worry." she said kindly. Serena smiled and nodded. "Well," everybody turned to Irvine, "Where should we go? Their earth or stay in our earth?"
Selphie smacked him over the head with a sweat drop sliding down her face. "OF COURSE WE'RE GOING TO THEIR EARTH!!" she screamed.
Irvine bowed his head in disgrace. "I'm sorry honey."
Edea walked in. "Oh, let me introduce you. This is our matron Edea."
The girls stood and greeted her one-by-one. "Nice to meet you," Edea said kindly.
"We have to get to our earth," Sailor Moon stood up and the girls followed. "All of you need to stand in the middle." Serena motioned to the middle of the circle that she and the girls formed.
The other group nodded and stepped inside the circle. Edea was the last one in. "Time Key! Take us to Tokyo!" Serena commanded. The girls emanated lights as before and before long were zapped to Tokyo with the new found friends.
Nevagerse- Galaxia's throne room
Galaxia moved her hands in a circular motion on top of the orb and before long the orb showed her the Sailor Scouts and the SeeDs. "Pathetic humans," she growled.
"Ebo!" Galaxia called to a monster bigger than a dog.
"Yes your highness?" Ebo bowed to Galaxia. "Go to earth and destroy those humans..don't hesitate to kill anything that gets in your way."
"Yes your highness," with that, Ebo disappeared in a flash of red light.
Tokyo- Serena's house
"Welcome to my house," Serena opened the door and everybody stepped inside. The girls untransformed, leaving the SeeDs in utter shock.
"W-what was that?" Seifer asked in awe.
"We transform." Raye said simply.
"MOM!" Serena screamed. The others cleaned out their ears because Serena literally left them deaf.
A woman with long blue hair appeared at the doorway. "Good evening Serena. Who are they?" Serena's mother motioned to the SeeDs. "They're friends Ma." Serena said. Her mother shrugged and turned back to her daughter, "Darien called. He left you a message."
Serena nodded and turned back to the SeeDs after her mother disappeared into the kitchen. "Who's Darien?" Quistis asked. "My boyfriend and tutor."
The others sweat dropped.
They were herded into Serena's room, where her brother was sitting at her computer. "GET OUT!!" Serena commanded. "Jeeze, you're going to put somebody deaf," her brother mocked as he walked out.
"I think she already did," Squall said while cleaning out his ears.
A cat came in. She was black with a crescent moon on her forehead. "Oh! What a cute little kitty!" Selphie said, petting the cat. "Don't touch me!" said the cat.
Selphie screamed, "That cat can talk!"
"Of course I can talk. My name is Luna."
Serena picked up Luna and placed her on her lap.
"So, we need to make a plan to destroy Galaxia." Quistis said. The others nodded.
"Luna, could you explain about Galaxia?" Serena asked the black talking cat. Luna nodded and looked at everybody. "I think this will help."
Serena's room disappeared as a white place took it's place. Later, the white place turned into a horrible scene of destruction and murder.
Everybody appeared there. Raye's clothes transformed into a red dress that reached her feet. Her hair was pulled back by a red bow. Mina was wearing an orange dress; the same length. Her hair was lose and the bow she wore stayed on. Amy was also wearing a dress; a powder blue one. Lita was wearing a forest green dress and a bow on her hair. Serena was wearing her white princess gown. Their planet's sign was shown on their foreheads.
The SeeD's clothes transformed also. Squall was now wearing a knight's uniform and Seifer the same. Rinoa was wearing a pink dress that was really tight. Her hair was picked up into a ponytail surrounded with pearls. Irvine and Zell were wearing knights costumes also. A sword could be seen by their side. Selphie and Alicia were wearing the same colored dress and their hair also looked alike. Edea was wearing her purple dress and gloves.
A scene unfolded in front of the heroes and heroines. A woman wearing a gold dress and who's hair was picked up into a bun, was causing destruction by throwing fireballs at the people there. The SeeDs gasped as they saw themselves being killed by her. The Sailor Scouts stayed calm as they watched how Galaxia killed their parents and them. A tear slid down Serena's cheek.
The war place turned back into Serena's room and everybody was back into their normal clothes. "So that was Galaxia," Rinoa whispered. "But...how come we saw ourselves getting killed?" Seifer asked cautiously.
"That was our past life," Edea spoke up, turning everybody's attention toward her. "Yes. Our past life. You all were killed and were sent to earth. We all were royalty on other planets. We came to earth to live our lives anew, without any memories of our past. That's what happened to Princess Serenity and the others."
Everybody was silent.
The silence made Serena uncomfortable. She got up and sat on the computer chair that was adjacent to her bed. Squall stood up. "I'm going outside to think about this." He left before anybody could say anything.
"This is to weird..anybody agree?" Seifer looked around. The faces of his friends were worried. "Yes, it is weird." Rinoa said.
A crash was heard outside. "What was that?!" Serena stood up abruptly, causing the chair to fall behind her. Amy looked outside and saw a monster. "It's a monster!" She said, turning back to everybody.
"You know what to do girls!" Luna screamed. The girls nodded and held up their transforming wands.
Mercury Power!
Mars Power!
Venus Power!
Jupiter Power!
Moon Cosmic Power!
Before their eyes, the group saw the girls transform into the clothes that they had first seen on them when they met. They stood up, holding their weapons tightly. All ran outside to where the monster was.
Ebo looked as the warriors came to confront him. "Stop right there buddy! I am Sailor Moon and I will right wrongs and triumph over evil! In the name of the moon, I will punish you!"
Ebo laughed. Sailor Moon sweat dropped. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!"
Without answering, Ebo threw an energy ball at Serena. Serena jumped out of the way, but the ball grazed her left arm. "OW!" she said while nursing her arm. "Venus Crescent Beam Smash!" A beam shot out of Sailor Venus' finger. Ebo didn't have time to dodge. The beam hit him square in the stomach, disintegrating him.
"What was that?" Squall asked. "It was one of Galaxia's minions." Sailor Mars informed him.
"And my most weak one indeed," a wicked voice turned heads. "GALAXIA?!" Serena screamed in surprise.
"Yes, that's my name and you better never forget it!"
"We're not going to forget....we'll remember the name of the bitch that we killed." Selphie said.
"Such big words for such a small and weak woman." Galaxia hissed.
"Less talking more fighting!" Rinoa said.
"Whatever you wish," Galaxia looked at all the warriors. "Which one of you should I eliminate first?"
"How about none," Zell jumped at Galaxia, his fists ready to punch. Before hitting her, however, Galaxia teleported and left Zell looking at the ground. Galaxia threw a ball of fire his way and hit him right on target. Zell landed with a thud on the ground. "ZELL!" Alicia ran over to her boyfriend. She picked his head up and put it on her lap. His eyes were closed. "Zell! Wake up!" Alicia shook Zell, but to no avail did she manage to wake him up.
Galaxia smirked. "One down, thirteen to go." The sorceress turned back to the others, who were awe struck at what she did to Zell. Galaxia pointed a finger at Squall. Out of that finger, a ray of light fired out. The beam headed towards Squall. "Squall!" Rinoa screamed, jumping in his way. The beam hit her stomach and went through her. Blood splattered on Squall as Rinoa fell to the floor. "Rinoa?!" Squall slapped her gently, but she was dead. "Rinoa! You can't leave me now!" he sobbed.
"That's it! You've killed too many people! I can't let you kill more!" Edea shouted. She brought her hands together and her black dress was replaced by her sorceress gown. She formed an ice ball and then hurled at Galaxia. Galaxia stayed put, laughing at the pathetic little ball that was coming her way. She stopped it. The ice ball ricocheted off her hand and went towards Irvine. But, instead of it being a ball, Galaxia transformed it from a round ball to a sharp icicle. The icicle headed straight into Irvine's heart.
Literally, Irvine's heart exploded like a balloon being pricked by a sharp object. Blood flowed uncontrollably from his mouth as he fell back into the ground. Selphie watched, her mouth open in shock. She couldn't say anything.
Galaxia smirked, "It's no use fighting me!" With that she left.
Squall held Rinoa in his arms and hugged her lifeless body to him. Tears fell freely from his eyes and slid down his cheek and landed on Rinoa's chest.
"Selphie?" Quistis went up to the stunned girl. Selphie fell down to her knees and sobbed in the ground. Later, she got up and excused herself.
She went inside of Serena's house and went into the kitchen. Serena's mother was nowhere in sight, so Selphie searched the drawers for a knife. She found a chef's knife and held it up so it was inches from her heart.
Quistis saw through the window at what Selphie was going to do. "Selphie!" she screamed as she ran inside. When she got there, the chef's knife was in Selphie's lifeless hand.
Tokyo Cemetery
"We are here today to remember our loved ones who lost their lives." The priest said above the crying and mourning. "That is all," the priest closed the Bible and got up from the stage.
After the funeral, Squall wanted to be left alone. Alicia had the intentions of mimicking Selphie by killing herself. Quistis had shook her head.
"How can I let Rinoa get in front of me?" Squall asked accusingly. "She risked her life for you Squall." Seifer told him.
"I know she did, but.."
"But what?"
Squall stayed silent and shook his head to dismiss the subject.
"We should be leaving to Garden now." Quistis told Serena. "But..we still need your help to defeat Galaxia." Serena pleadingly begged. "I'm sorry, Serena. I can't watch other people I care for die."
Serena sighed, "Okay." She held the key in front of her and let the SeeDs get together. "Time Key, take these warriors back to Balamb Garden."
Quistis waved sadly to the five girls and the latter did the same.
Balamb Garden
The group arrived at Balamb Garden and were greeted by a very excited Xu. "Where have you guys been?" she asked looking around. Something wasn't right to her. "Where's Rinoa, Zell and Irvine?"
Squall looked at her and broke down crying for Rinoa. "What's wrong?! You're scaring me..."
"Rinoa, Zell and Irvine were killed, Xu. We don't want to talk about it." Seifer explained.
Xu nodded sadly and let the group inside of Garden.
Alicia ran to her dorm room and broke down crying when she got there. Quistis, Seifer and Edea decided to learn more about Galaxia so they headed towards the library. Squall wanted to be left alone so he walked towards Balamb.
Balamb Garden- Library
Quistis flipped through the pages of the book that talked about different sorceresses; good and bad. The book was separated into two sections; Evil and Good. Quistis quickly found the tag and turned it over to the Evil side.
Edea was searching for more books and Seifer was reading with Quistis.
Quistis squinted her eyes to read the miniature words that were typed in the pages. Finally, a name caught her attention. She looked to it and found the name Galaxia and her entire profile. A picture wasn't in the book, but Quistis knew exactly how she looked like.
Galaxia's profile was next to the box that was supposed to provide a picture. Quistis and Seifer read the profile with interest.
Name: Galaxia
Age: Unknown
Gender: Female
Brief Description: Tall woman, brown-blond hair, blue eyes. Her eyes glint with evil. Her dress covers her entire body because a deformity at birth makes her keep it secret.
Family History: Was raised by Adel.
Magic Preferences: making and throwing fireballs, teleportation and transforming objects from one shape to the other.
Known ways to defeat her: None
"None?!" Quistis exclaimed, shutting the book. "There has to be one- at least one- way to defeat her."
Edea came up to them. "You found something I suppose?"
"Yes. It gives her profile and says that there is no way to defeat her; absolutely none."
"Maybe there is none, Quistis." Seifer said.
Quistis sighed, "I won't give up till I find one way to actually defeat her." With that, she got up from the table and left the library.
Tokyo- Juuban Temple
The girls were at the temple; not for a meeting, but for a leisurely girl-to-girl talk. All of the girls were there, except for Serena. "What a surprise," Raye said sarcastically. Amy was reading a book; Lita was in the kitchen cooking with Raye's Grandpa; Mina was reading a comic book; Raye was sweeping the front steps.
Serena ran to the temple. "Sorry I'm late guys. I got another detention."
"Another detention?" Raye asked sympathetically.
"For what?" Lita demanded.
"For not doing my homework," Serena hung her head in shame.
"I thought you told me you did the homework?" Amy said, closing the book and walking up to them.
Serena sweat dropped.
"What are we going to do with you Serena?" Mina said, shaking her head.
The girls went inside the temple to where the fire was crackling. "We need to find a way to defeat Galaxia," Raye said, sitting down in front of the fire.
"Finding a way to defeat Galaxia is like finding the answer to the meaning of life." Mina joked. The others sweat dropped.
"Still, we should still try," Raye said, giggling a little at Mina's joke.
There was silence for a while. Then, Serena started singing. "SHUT UP SERENA!" Raye hit her over the head.
Balamb Garden- Classroom
"Welcome class," Quistis said smiling at her students. She started today as an instructor and she is taking full advantage of it.
"Good morning, Miss Trepe," the students said in unison.
"Today we're going to the fire cavern for those that are starting as SeeDs. Raise your hands if you're new."
Three students raised their hands. Among them, Alicia was one. "Okay, meet at the front gate at 1300 hours." Quistis said standing up. The students started leaving and Alicia went up to her friend.
"Quistis? When will I go to the fire cavern?" she asked timidly. "You're going at the same time as the others. What's wrong?" Quistis sympathetically asked. "Nothing," Alicia said in a low voice that Quistis had to get closer to her. Alicia left before Quistis could respond her.
Meanwhile, in the confines of the darkness, a creature with red eyes stood watching the blond woman. It grinned, showing it's ugly yellow teeth. Quistis was the next one going down.
Balamb Garden- Dorm Rooms
Squall stayed in the confines of his dorm until he was needed. Gradually, the memory of Rinoa began fading away. He needed to forget about her and continue with his life that he was lucky enough to keep because of Rinoa.
He threw a ball up and down in the air to keep him busy. After a while, his eyes threatened to close. They did and Squall turned over to sleep.
Quistis went up to her dorm room and unlocked the door. She let herself in and shut the door behind her. She threw her whip aside and changed to her sleeping gown. She slipped in her bed and soon was escaping to the dream world.
Seifer was listening to rock music with headphones on. He sang along. Then, he took off his headphones and placed them on his bedside table. He put his covers over him and closed his eyes.
Alicia was hugging a picture of Zell to her and tears slid freely down her cheeks. She just couldn't come to forget about him. She just couldn't. He was the reason that she wanted to become a SeeD. To be with him. But now that he was gone, she joined SeeD to help defeat Galaxia. Alicia was going to get revenge.
She kissed the picture one last time and placed it on her bedside table. She turned off the lamp and turned to her other side and fell asleep.
Everybody was sleeping; oblivious to the creature that was watching them from the corner of darkness.
Tokyo- Serena's House
Serena bid goodbye to her friends and went inside her house. The house was silent save for the occasional purr from Luna. Serena slipped off her shoes and tiptoed to her room. Luna was sleeping on top of her bed. Serena gently took her off and placed her in her cat bed. Serena slipped into bed and let sleep take over.
Tokyo- Amy's House
Amy was studying for a test that she was having tomorrow. She just couldn't go to sleep before finishing. "Amy?" her mother called, turning on the living room light. "You should go to sleep honey. It's already midnight."
"In a minute mother," Amy said to her mother. Her mother sighed and went back to her bedroom. Finally, Amy closed the textbook and stood up from the chair. She turned off the lamp light and the living room light.
She brushed her teeth and left to her bedroom; adjacent to her mothers. She threw back the covers and slid in. She closed her eyes and in an instant was asleep.
Tokyo- Mina's House
Mina picked up her hair in a bun and slid into bed. Artemis was watching her and then closed his eyes. Mina went under the covers and turned on a flashlight. She started reading a magazine. "Mina! You should go to sleep!" Scolded Artemis. "Aw...Artemis. Just a little while longer? Please?" Mina begged. Artemis shook his head. "No Mina. Tomorrow you got an important test and need to get a good night's sleep."
Mina groaned and turned off the flashlight and put the covers over her. She exited to the dream world like the others.
Tokyo- Lita's House
"YES! THEY WON!! IN YOUR FACE KEN!" Lita jumped up in excitement; her football team had won. Ken bowed his head in defeat. "I guess the better team won." He said, smiling.
"Lita! Time for bed!" Lita's mother called from her room.
"I guess I better go," Ken picked up his coat and kissed Lita lightly on the lips. Lita blushed.
Lita turned off the television and went to her room. She got into her bed and closed her eyes; darkness taking over her.
Tokyo- Juuban Temple
Raye sat in front of the fire, looking for ways to defeat Galaxia. But to no avail. Galaxia was the strongest enemy the scouts have ever faced. No person can be this strong, Raye thought. But then, she thought that Galaxia was no human; but a monster that was immortal.
"Raye?" Chad poked his head through the doors. Raye kept his back to him, "What is it Chad?"
"Grandpa says to go to bed. You have a test tomorrow remember?"
Raye sighed and stood up. She turned towards Chad and smiled. "Thanks for reminding me Chad." She said as she walked out.
As Raye walked down the temple halls to her room, she felt a strange presence near by. Was it just the wind? Or was it something else? Raye shrugged and hurried to her room. She changed into her sleeping clothes and slid into bed. Her eyes closed immediately.
Unbeknownst to Raye, a creature with yellow eyes watched the fire goddess with great content from the shadows. He grinned evilly. Raye was the target to kill from the Sailor Scouts.
Balamb Garden- Cafeteria
It was a quiet day at Balamb Garden. The remaining SeeDs were eating breakfast in the cafeteria. It was so empty and lifeless now that the lively Zell and Selphie weren't around. If Zell would have been there with them, the hotdogs would be gone and the tray that the others had in front of them would be barren.
Alicia was tightly holding a picture of Zell to her chest. She was silent and made the others worry. Seifer tried to cheer her up by acting like Zell. Did it work? Not at all. Alicia cried and that made everybody glare at Seifer. "What? I was just trying to help." He said. "Some help," Quistis hissed. Seifer bowed his head in shame and stayed quiet for the rest of breakfast.
Afterwards; Quistis went with Squall to take a walk down the beach; and Seifer and Alicia stayed alone (which, may I say, was not Alicia's plan for having fun).
At the beach, Quistis and Squall talked for hours; her telling him how much being a teacher made her feel happy; and he telling her that he would forget about Rinoa and live his life.
The sun was setting on their day and Squall and Quistis walked back to Garden. On their trip, however, they were stopped.
Squall took out his gun blade and Quistis her whip. "Who are you?!" Squall demanded.
The monster was of a tall height and had a powerful build. Black energy flowed down an arm that looked like an anvil. His body was covered with patches of red; one eye was closed due to a cut that was made with a clumsy hand. His open eye was of crimson; as was the patches. He wasn't wearing clothes, but didn't have a manly look to him.
"Who are you?!" Squall demanded again, irritation growing in his voice.
The monster stayed silent as it eyed Quistis. He raised his `normal' arm and pointed a finger at her. "W-why is it pointing at me?" Quistis asked frightened.
Squall shrugged and turned his attention back to the monster, who was nowhere in sight. "Where did it go?" Squall lowered the gun blade and looked around. Where is it? he thought angrily.
Then, a piercing scream broke through his thoughts. He turned around. Quistis was held by the neck, dangling above the monster.
"Help me!" she said chokingly. Squall nodded and charged at the monster. He managed to cut Quistis loose from it's grasp. She fell to the ground, massaging her neck. She had a hard time breathing; the monster had a tight grip on her.
Titan (it's name) turned it's attention to Squall. Squall was breathing hard and looking at the monster. Titan grabbed Squall in the same death grip he had on Quistis. But, this time was different. Instead of keeping on holding him, Titan threw Squall to the ground. As Squall struggled to get up, the monster brought up it's evil-surged anvil arm.
Before he could bring it down, killing Squall, Titan was stopped by a whip holding back his arm. He growled and pulled the whip. Quistis was sent flying into a big, ragged rock nearby. She fell to the ground unconscious; probably dead.
Titan then stood over Squall and was about to finish him, to, but Galaxia appeared hovering in the sky. "Your work here is done, Titan. You may leave." She told the monster.
Titan nodded and then looked back down at Squall. "You were saved, boy." Galaxia said while cackling madly as she and Titan left.
Squall stood up, his arm aching with pain. He put his good hand on it and staggered over to the unconscious (or dead; whichever you think) Quistis.
He set his gun blade down and picked up; with much effort; Quistis' head. He set it on his lap (if you think her head popped off; you're wrong). Blood spewed from her mouth as she achingly opened her eyes. "S-squall?" she said weakly, blood spitting out with every letter and word. He smiled kindly and cupped her head in his hands. "You're going to be alright, instructor. You just have to be."
Quistis slightly smiled and weakly raised her own hand to her former student's cheek. "It was fun being around with you guys-she breathed unevenly- "very fun. Thank you for letting me see my true self."
As Squall's eyes flooded with new found tears, Quistis' hand dropped lifelessly from his cheek onto the sand.
Squall gently rocked her dead body. "No," he whispered, "Thank you."
