Keeping his composure, Seifer opened the door and in tumbled a breathless
Selphie.
"Seifer! Monsters, they're all over the garden! All SeeDs must assemble in the quadrangle ASAP!", Selphie ran back out of Seifer's room and down the hall. As he reached behind the door for his gunblade, Seifer thought about his orders. *Wouldn't it be easier just to go around the garden and exterminate every monster without assmembling for orders? Surely any idiot with half a brain would know what to do*. Instantly forgetting about his orders, Seifer ran out of his room and down to the central fountain.
There were no monsters in sight... not even a grat. "Monsters all over the garden...yeah sure", disappointed, a battle deprived Seifer walked around the fountain towards the cafeteria. A cry of pain ripped through the air and into his thoughts.
"The front entrance....Quistis! SHE MIGHT BE THERE!" Spinning on his heels, he darted back the way he came and out into the front entrance. The garden had touched down on the Estharian plains which meant that there were some pretty strong enemies around. The ground beyond the gate was a total warzone, a battlefield with what looked like at least a quarter of all the Balamb garden mercernaries battling monsters. *All this for the garden...* as he looked around at all the courageous attempts to hold back the monsters, a marlboro caught his eye. Drawing his Hyperion, Seifer rushed at it and dealed a damaging six slices. He then raised his left hand and finished it off with a firaga. Blowing the dust of his gunblade, he walked towards a torama which was standing on all fours. It charged its antennae with energy and was taking aim at its opponent. Seifer just stood there calmly watching the build-up of electricity. Suddenly without warning, two imps ran into the battle and were hit by the energy. Seifer took this chance to kill the leopard-like monster. Aiming at his target, he dashed forth and fired a gunblade shot into its eye. It cried out in pain as Seifer slashed at it about five more times which was more than enough to take it down. As he picked up a hi-potion left behind by the torama, Seifer looked around at his surroundings. Squall and Irvine were busy supporting less experienced SeeDs in battle and Selphie was doing pretty well on her own against an iron giant.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw Quistis taking on three marlboros at once. He turned to get a better look and saw that she wasn't progressing too well, especially since she was affected by their bad breath attack. He ran to her and casted esuna to help her along. Quistis stood up slowly and used degenerator. It took care of one of them so Seifer summoned Ifrit to help them. When they were weakened enough, he told Quistis to go into pincer formation with him to catch the remaining marlboro off guard. Then with a last crack and slash they were gone. Quistis fell to the ground clutching her arm, Seifer knelt down next to her and scooped her up into his arms. He glanced down at her as she fell unconscious. He then quickly took her to the infirmary.
