One long train journey later
As Rinoa stood with her friends waiting for the transport to the government to arrive she looks at Zell who is yawning after sleeping through the whole journey.
"Man that was so boring" Zell yawns.
"Boring? You slept the whole way here." Quistis frowns
"Oh yeah I did" Zell replies with a smile
Quistis rolls her eyes and shakes her head and looks up and down the busy street
"Here it comes" Irvine points out as a limousine pulls up
"A little luxury for a simple contract signing" Rinoa says looking at the black car
The limo stops and they all get into the limo and set off for the government building.
Meanwhile in Centra
BANG BANG BANG Squall get out of bed and looks through the window to see a group of children stood at the door then one of the children looks directly at Squall.
"There he is the stranger" the child shouts pointing at Squall.
Jackson walks to the front door and opens it and looks at the children.
"What can I do for you?" Jackson asks.
"Can we see the stranger?" the biggest child asks.
"Just a minute" Jackson says to the children "what do you say stranger?"
Jackson asks Squall "its Squall and no im no good with kids"
"Ok children come in" Jackson says opening the door again.
"What are you doing" Squall growls at Jackson.
"The children like stories a few years a man called Laguna told stories to the children when he stopped here for a week or so."
"Please tell us a story mister" a little girl asks looking up at Squall.
"I don't know any stories" Squall says kneeling down in front of the little girl
"Sure you have I bet you have travelled the world tell them about that." Jackson says
"I know how about the story about a group of friends who took on an evil sorceress sound does" Squall asks.
All the children jump up and down at the thought of a story about a sorceress and how she was defeated.
"Ok this story starts of with a young man who was training to become a great warrior." Squall started as all the children sat on the floor in the main room.
Many hours later
"And with her final amount of strength she passed on her powers and faded away and thus ended the dreaded time compression and the world returned to normal"
Squall said finishing his story as all the children sat around with looks awe on their faces. Then a loud noise sounded around the whole village.
"What was that?" Squall asked as Jackson jumps to his feet.
"The Warning signal it means that our enemies are invading." Jackson says picking up a sword.
"Can you please watch the children Squall I will send someone to get them just make sure they don't get hurt" Jackson says as he heads for the door.
"Come on children stay with me" Squall says looking at the children.
The sound of running horses started to grow louder. The children huddled in the corner as a one of the children started to cry. Squall turned to the children and walked over to them. "Hey there don't cry" Squall says looking at the child who is crying. All of a sudden a young man runs into the house "im here to take the children."
"How do I know your not here to hurt them?" Squall asks
"Its ok he is my brother" one of the children says to Squall.
"Follow me children" the young man says running to the back door.
All the children run through the back door where the young man had just gone through Squall looks out of the front door and sees the battle unfolding in the village as men wearing armour where fighting with the villagers as Squall looked around a giant of a warrior was fighting with Jackson who was starting to falter then within a flash the giant man struck Jackson down with one blow. Jackson crumples to the ground as the giant man started to cut his way through the villagers. Squall runs through the chaos to where Jackson is laid.
"Squall are you able to fight?" Jackson splutters
"I am able to fight but I don't have a weapon." Squall replies lifting Jackson up.
"Take mine" Jackson says holding out his sword.
"I cant you need it" Squall says shaking his head.
"Im dying I can feel it now….take…it" Jackson says forcing the sword into his hands. And then Jackson lets out his final breath as he dies. Squall grips the sword tight as one of the armour clad warriors was running at him.
Squall cuts him down and starts to run through the battle cutting the enemies down as he runs through the battle. When Squall stops he sees one of the warriors using his gunblade. The soldier stops to see Squall looking at him he starts to run at Squall.
"COME ON" Squall shouts as he starts to run at him.
As they collide with each other. Both blades of their weapons sparking on contact as Squall looks in to the eyes of his enemy he takes a step forward knocking him off balance with that Squall lunges and pushes his sword straight through him. The warrior steps back and the fall to the ground. Squall picks up his gunblade as he sees the giant warrior starting to run toward him.
Squall throws the sword in his hand straight at the giant warrior. The giant warrior knocks the sword out of the air as he is running. He then lunges at Squall. Squall moves out of the way and counter attacks him which is then blocked. Then the giant man lifts his sword the same way he did when he killed Jackson Squall quickly lifts his gunblade and stabs it through his chest. The giant man looks in utter disbelief as he starts to stumble backwards. He then falls to the ground and stops moving.
Squall looks around as all the warriors start to retreat.
"Get out of here our leader is dead" one of the troops says as they run away.
"Thank you stranger" an old man says as he walks up to Squall.
"I am the leader of this village and I know why they came here." The old man says
"What is that then?" Squall asks looking at the old man
"Come with me and I will show you." The old man replies.
Squall starts to follow him.
Back in Deling City
Rinoa looked out of the window which over looks the street below and a large group of people had started to gather outside the building.
"Those people don't look happy." Zell says as he looks out of the window
"Hmm something isn't right." Rinoa says looking at Zell.
"Yeah I know what you mean" Zell Says as he turns to look at the others.
"Are you ok Rinoa?" Zell asks looking at her
"Im fine Zell" Rinoa replies smiling
BOOOM the whole building shook at the sound of the explosion.
"What the hell was that?" Selphie shouts jumping to her feet.
She looks out of the window and sees the limo is on fire.
"What's going on here?" Irvine asks as he looks out of the window as well.
"A riot started by some militants" a voice says from the door.
"This isn't good where are the representatives? Quistis asks.
"There safe we may have a problem though." The man says pointing out of the window. The crowd had broken down the gate and where running at the front of the building.
