Mysterious Hold Part II
It was nearly dawn when the train based out of Balamb came to a complete stop at the East Academy Station. By then, Selphie and Irvine had gathered themselves and their weapons. They both sat on the couch in the Private SeeD Cabin, staring off into nothingness as they listened to the voice over the intercom announce their arrival. In unison, they both stood, glancing to each other with slightly determined faces. Together they stepped off the train, only becoming briefly single filed to walk out the door. Starting out for Timber, which wasn't to far away from East Academy Station, they encountered few foes, leaving more time for them to converse instead of fight.
" Irvine, don't you think we should get the others, and not try to do this on our own? " Selphie inquired as they ran briskly along the edge of a forest, hoping to reach Timber in less than half an hour.
" We probably should, but does it look like we have the time now? Or the gil to spare for the train ride back? I think not. " Irvine held onto the rim of his hat as he replied to Selphie's inquiry.
" ... All right " muttered Selphie, as she came to an abrupt stop as a Thrustaevis swooped down, preparing to attack the two weary travelers.
It began its assault; gliding down towards Irvine, moving it's curved beak for his head. But this Irvine skillfully avoided, moving nimbly to the side allowing the Thrustaevis to fly right by, sending a breeze straight for him. Selphie began her offense, her lips parting as she uttered a word almost soundlessly to herself.
" Thundaga.. " Selphie whispered, her murmuring quickly followed by a jade aura, which formed around her body in a circle. Suddenly a sound, as if the wind were crying, filled the air. A rod of lightning traipsed from the sky, and striked the Thrustaevis. This was too much for the beast; his wings stopped beating and his lifeless form dropped to the ground, dematerializing soon after. Irvine glanced to Selphie and followed obediently as she lead on, Timber only over the horizon.
Irvine could tell Selphie was in great shape, she continued running without being hindered by anything. Perhaps ... it was just pure determination that pulled her along the way, not allowing her to stop or draw breath at that. When they arrived at the Timber gate, she merely entered, her breath normal as if she had driven here instead of ran. Her emerald eyes gazed towards Irvine, as he followed closely behind her.
Their first stop was the Inn, where they asked the keeper whether they had seen a man with dirty blonde hair and a scar across his face. To this, the keeper replied that she hadn't. Not to be discourage, they went on, stopping at the weapon shop, Timber Station, and the Timber Maniacs Building. Not a soul had seen Squall. Their pace began to slow as their hope began dying. Both slowly trudge towards the Pub.
" I think he left.. What about you Irvine? " Selphie was facing him as they walked slowly towards the Pub from the Timber Maniacs Building. Irvine seemed to ignore her, his eyes were fixated on the Pub that had come into view.
" Selphie, I'm sure we'll find some information about Squall at the Pub, I just got this weird... feeling.. " Irvine looked to her now, pushing the door of the Pub open for her. Selphie walked in, and strolled to the bar counter, leaning against it.
" 'Scuse me Mr. Bar Tender, but have you seen a guy, around 18 with dirty blonde hair and a scar across his face? " Selphie asked bluntly, slightly irritated because no one had seen him.
" Yeah Ma'am, actually I have. I've seen two of'em today, both actin' kinda strange. I coulda swore one of'em was in a trance there ma'am. " The Bar Tender replied, not quite so bluntly as she had spoken. At that moment a loud slam was heard, and a familiar voice filled Selphie's ears, as well as Irvine's, much to their annoyance.
Two silhouetted figures stood in the doorway, the shadow from the inside clashing with the bright light from the outside. One of the two figures was bulky, well-built and tall. The other was short and slender.
" STUPID. " said one, apparently speaking about the others 'kicking the door open'. It was already noticeable that this was a female.
" Hey hey now, calm down 'ya know.. " said the other, knowing that his partners temper could mean a tub of ice for him. His arms crossed over his chest as he gazed around. Selphie and Irvine stood straight, almost rigid. The familiarity of the voices hit them like a wave on the beach. They knew these two.. they were always with Seifer.. Fuujin and Raijin.. They could feel their eyes scan over their bodies. They grew tense, knowing that they'd be able to tell who they were.
" Well well well, looky who we have here, 'ya know.. " Raijin said, unfolding his arms and pointing his right index finger at the two SeeD's. Fuujin looked up to him, then kicked him hard in the knee cap.
" SEIFER? " said Fuujin, staring dead at Irvine and Selphie. Irvine rubbed the back of his head gently, having removed his hat for the moment. Selphie shuffled her feet, her hands clasped behind them.
In syncronization, they said " Well, we don't know where Seifer is... has he gone missing like Squall? " They looked to each other abruptly, then glanced back to Fuujin and Raijin. Raijin gazed down to Fuujin, then placed his hand on her shoulder, receiving a glare but ignoring it.
" Yeah... he has.. he said something about.. Squall though.. 'ya know. Now that I think about it, it was kinda strange 'ya know. " Raijin fumbled on his words, staring at Fuujin for a moment then at the ground the next. Fuujin cleared her throat.
" AFFIRMATIVE. " she said bluntly, in agreement with what Raijin said, her eye lingered upon the Irvine's form, then moved to Selphie's, sizing them up.
" PARTNERS? " Fuujin then said, Raijin nodding to her words.
" Yeah, 'ya know. Seifer and Squall are connected, we should looks for them together 'ya know. "
So, Selphie, Irvine, Fuujin, and Raijin were seen walking out of the pub as a group. No hostile feelings, nor hateful glances.
