Chapter one: Beginning of the end.
Sun glistened through the trees as day crept up on Balamb garden; the marble structure glowed with an unnatural light. As the day dragged into morning the school started to stir, students and teachers began to wake. One such student was Adam Leonhart. Adam was about 15 years of age and has lived at the garden most of his life, he had long, silky black hair, and his violet iris reflected the morning sun, he looked much like his brother, the famous Squall Leonhart, commander of the seed unit in Balamb. However his brother went on a mission and never returned, he is considered missing in action. Adam clambered out of his bed and stretched his muscles, preformed his daily rituals and put on his favourite clothes. He put on his black silk shirt, his baggy leather jeans and his pendant which he received from his brother
"Today's a Saturday" he thought. "I think ill go to the training room, stretch my muscles a bit more"
He grabbed his gunblade from the cabinet beside his bed; his gunblade was long and had a black blade, with tribal markings down the side. He holstered it and left his room.
As soon as he got out of his dorm someone bumped into him from behind and he stumbled forward but managed to keep his balance. A barrage of apologetic excuses filled his ears; he grumbled and turned around to see who it was. She wore a long black, sleeveless dress, her hair was longer then Adam's and a jet black colour, and she wore leather gloves on her hands.
"Sorry! I didn't see where I was going, this school was soooo much bigger than my last school and I was worried id be late for- hey where are you going?"
Adam was already walking to the training room, he didn't care, HE was already late, he should have been there now if it wasn't for her bumping into him, she should have been looking where she was going in the first place. This one little accident set Adam off the wrong way, Instructors had always commented on Adam's anger issues but they let him of some of the time, because his anger streaks made for some impressive limit breaks.
He was walking quickly to the training room bumping into students along the corridors, suddenly he felt someone's hot breath on his neck.
"Going somewhere Adam?"
He spun around quickly and tightened his grip on his gunblade, he relaxed after he saw who it was, and it was his instructor Quistis Trepe. She wore her orange shirt with some black denim leggings.
"Sorry if I frightened you Adam."
He grumbled.
"What-"
"-ever"
She had interrupted him many times before and he was getting pretty sick of it.
"I could read your brother so well when he was here."
Adam felt a pang of anger towards her.
"Well he's not here is he? He's gone and never coming back, it's been 8 months now." He felt his insides twist and turn. "He's dead…"
She put on her sympathetic smile.
"Now im sure he's fine, Squall has survived galaxy crushing magic, hordes of foes and tough challenges, I bet he'll be back before you know it."
He ignored her and made a beeline for the training room, he pushed all thoughts of his brother out of his mind, but as he entered the training room, his thoughts fell on that girl who bumped into him.
"Who was she? It doesn't matter anyway. God why am I so angry? She only bumped into me, and she apologised as well! And what was Quistis thinking? Talking bout Squall to me, never mind, I have to concentrate on the battles before me, don't wanna end up dead." He thought to himself.
He held his gunblade back ready to plough it through some monsters head, and charged forward.
After a few hours Adam's muscles were burning and he was covered head to toe in different shades and colours of blood. His gunblade tore through many monsters before he called it a day; he was making his way to the exit when suddenly he heard an ear piercing scream.
"AAAHHHHH! HELP MEEEEEE!"
His instincts took over.
"HOLD ON IM COMING!"
He ran to where the screams were emanating from, he gasped in shock as he recognised the person who was in trouble; it was the girl who bumped into him. She had propped herself against the wall and looked like she had sustained a couple of really nasty injuries, a few feet away from her was a ferocious T-rexuar. She pleaded with Adam.
"PLEASE HELP!"
Adam felt something buzz inside him, filling him with power. Raw magical energy crackled around him as he lifted his gunblade high in the air.
"RENZOKUKEN!"
He charged towards the T-rexuar and began to rain hell on it with his weapon, each strike was accurate and unexpected as the monster tried to block the attacks, as soon as the T-rexuar began to show signs of defeat Adam jumped back and raised his gunblade once more.
"ROUGH DIVIDE!"
He glowed with more energy before dragging his weapon on the floor, and then driving it upwards into the monsters flesh, the force of the strike threw Adam into the air, and he felt shockwaves as the ground below exploded, killing the raging dinosaur. He landed awkwardly on his feet and looked at the devastation he had caused. The ground had been cracked and a T-rexuar body lay in the middle of the split, its body hacked and mangled.
He holstered his weapon and suddenly felt something clamp on his neck, he looked down and saw that the girl had jumped on him and held him tightly, sobbing into his chest.
"Oh….thank….thank you…sob………I don't….I was……"
Adam felt awkward and uneasy; he gingerly placed a hand on her back and gently rubbed her, trying to calm her down, she soon stopped crying and was breathing heavily.
"Are you ok?" Adam said without emotion.
She looked up at him, and blushed furiously when he realised what she was doing, she immediately let go of him and straightened her hair.
"Yea…sniff im fine"
Adam turned around and started walking towards the exit. He stopped suddenly and turned his head. Still talking in his cold voice he said.
"Go see Dr. Kadowaki, your injured."
She looked down at the floor.
"Um...can you take me?" She said in a sweet, quiet voice
Adam snorted quietly (Why? Cant you find it?)
"No, make your own way."
He walked out of the training room and made his way to his dorm, earning a few stares because he was covered in blood and dirt. He entered his dorm, took of his clothes and stepped into his hot shower.
"Oh Shiva" He murmured "What a day"
