Final Fantasy: Simple and Clean

Part one, Chapter one

Sunnydale. Good ole' home. It's where I began my journey. It's where I met the wonderful people in my life. It's where I grew up. Sunnydale. Cozy isn't it?

The busy streets of Sunnydale was a hard thing for Buffy Summers to deal with. People either walked too slow or just immediately stop right in front of you. She hated that. It slowed her down and every single day she would end up being late to her training sessions. But no, today she had sought out a different plan. She was going to take another route.

She was so sure that taking another route would get her faster to her destination. The only thing is, she hoped she wouldn't get lost like she did when she younger. But now she was much older.

So, with a early start, she woke up. Got dressed and headed out onto the front of her home. She inhaled the fresh morning breeze, before stepping out onto the dirt grounds and she started to walk.

She enjoyed seeing new faces in Sunnydale. Some came from all over the world searching for any spheres in Sunnydale.

She was told by her father, who had died a few years back due to illness, there was an ancient sphere hidden somewhere inside deep in the old temples of Sunnydale. The thing was, no one had ever found one. Sphere hunters had questioned if they're really ever was a sphere in Sunnydale.

"Hey B!" She heard Female voice call to her. Quickly she turned to see Faith, her long time friend, running towards her. She saw the girl stop in front of her, breathing deeply, "Why are you going this way for?" The Brunette said finally catching her breath.

Faith and I had a long and hard history together. She was once part of the Khjo clan, a small group of terrorists bent to protect its leader, Mayor Wilkins. I didn't quite agree with her choosing in friends. It resulted in her and myself getting into a huge fight and we didn't talk for a couple of months. But after witnessing a murder, she left the group.

Buffy smiled, "decided to take another route."


Faith had looked at her weird, but shrugged it off, "Well, I'll come with you." Buffy nodded and the two walked side by side to Giles' training school.

.................

Giles' training school for sphere hunters had been one of the most respected and longest running training schools in the world. Buffy had been excited to be part of the program. It was like stepping back in time and seeing how the old methods really worked.

Now, standing outside the building, she and Faith could hear their other peers talking loudly from inside.


"Well, let's get in." Faith grabbed Buffy's arm and pulled her inside. To their complete astonishment, everyone had become silent and was looking at the two.

Faith raised her eyebrows in complete confusement. She really didn't like people looking at her like that, "B, what the hell is going on?" She whispered.

"I have no idea." Was all Buffy managed to say before Rupert Giles; the head trainer, emerged from the side door, scaring both girls.

"Faith," The scruffy tweed-wearing brute looked at Buffy, "Ms. Summers, can I both see you in my office."

The two girls nodded and followed Giles.

Giles offered the two a seat, they both accepted.

That's Giles, an amazing man. I was told that before he became a teacher, he was a powerful mage. I'm not sure what type he was, but I'm guessing he was a Black Mage.

There was silence in the room, before Giles broke it, "The reason I needed to speak to both of you, was well, because I've chosen you two, as well as others, to search for the sphere of Amara."

Faith was surprised, but Buffy was shocked, "The sphere of Amara? I thought that was destroyed?"

Giles nodded, "It was documented that it was, but myself, as well as other Sphere hunters, believe it isn't destroyed. And now, different sphere hunting groups are searching for it. If, it gets into the wrong hands, then we all will be doomed."

Confused? The Sphere of Amara was an ancient Sphere, documenting back into the beginning of our time. It was said to hold a secret location to a very powerful resource of destruction. But somewhere in time, someone had discovered and destroyed it. Leaving many to believe it was destroyed forever.

Buffy had remained silent. She couldn't become a professional Sphere hunter now. She was just a student, learning, and training, to become one. This was unbelievable to her.

"Buffy?" Giles said, snapping Buffy out of her daze, "would you like to say anything?" He questioned, giving her a weird look. She hated when he did that.

"Well, can I just ask who else was picked?" Faith agreed with Buffy.

Giles cleared his throat; "I cannot exactly say whom, but lets just say they are VERY experienced."
