I'm Squall and I'm twelve. You know, I've been planning a way to fly to outer space. I'm getting bored of this place. The same training. The same garden. I want adventures. Well, today is when I'll put my plan in action. I tricked Quistis to bring me to Esthar.
Zell and I headed to where the old and unused Ragnarok ships were stored. Quistis was checking out the stores. I planned to bring Zell with me. He agreed.
In the airstation, guards were scattering everywhere. As what I planned, I tagged Zell along. We both looked around and spotted a green light. It was shining so brightly that we can hardly even look at it. Two guards were guarding in front of it.
"Hey, ya sure ya wanna do this?" Zell asked with a whisper.
"Yes," I whispered as I raised a finger to my lips.
We both ran to both the guards with our weapon. I slashed the first guard by the leg and he dropped. Zell gave a hard punch in the stomach to the other guard.
"Cool," Zell said, impressed.
"What the..." The first guard fainted when Zell threw a fist at his face. Then he kicked the other guard twice in the spot where he punched.
"Let's get going," I said as I pressed the green button with my eyes closed.
Suddenly, a circle formed on the ground. The ground shook gently and went up with the guards and us. A Ragnarok ship was steadily and firmly stuck on the higher ground. Without saying a word, we both pressed another green button by the Ragnarok. A door flung out from the side of the ship. I entered it. Zell decided to give a goodbye-kick. He kicked the guards and rushed up to the ship with me.
"Why did you have to do that?" I scolded.
"For fun," he replied.
"Very funny," I rolled my eyes and tried to smile.
I saw a shadow by the wall. Then I saw a kind of blade in the shadow's hand. I noticed who was that when I recognized the shape of the blade.
"Seifer?" I asked.
"Yeah, baby! Gotcha!" Seifer shouted as he showed himself and then ran up to the control room.
In no time, the ship was shaking continuosly. I realized we were flying. I fell to the ground together with Zell with a loud 'THUD'.
"What's the big deal?" Zell shouted as he started to pick himself up.
Seifer came running down and then started to shout like a mad cow. He was so happy he jumped up and down and then stuck his gunblade firmly on the floor.
"Cooooooool!" Seifer shouted.
"Yeah, right. You know what have you just did?" I scolded.
"Yeah, I made this thing fly. Stupid question," Seifer replied.
"At least our plan worked well, didn't it?" Zell tried to shape me back up.
=After a day=
We were flying in the galaxy happily. We were out of gravity control. I was having a snack. Suddenly without warning, the ship shook so hard that my head knocked the wall. Pain shot in me. I yelled.
Zell and Seifer did not care about me as they flew to the window. A meteor was seen racing down to a planet. Then our ship was pulled by a strong force. In no time we were on the planet. The meteor was way behind us.
We ran out right after we crashed. The ship was damaged and I could see the shooting star flying down. Then I heard a very, very loud 'BOOM'. We left the ship and ran to see the meteorite.
"What's... this?" Seifer asked me, confused. He was looking down at a big colony of gigantic worms.
"It's worms..." Zell answered thoughtfully. "Very big ones, too," he continued. "Looks like juicy sausages… mmm…"
"No joke. They're at least a feet long," I said seriously.
By then, all of the worms started to grow bigger. Then they started to scatter around the whole planet, I realized. A few streams of meteor came smashing, each carrying a pack of the worms. Then I realized again. The worms are heading for different directions.
"Nooooooooooo!" I screamed when I saw a T-Rexaur in front of us.
"It's not an ordinary T-Rexaur," Seifer said. "Look. It's more ferocious."
"The… the worm!" Zell screamed as he pointed a finger at the dinosaur. "It evolved!"
No. This cannot be. This isn't a T-Rexaur, I realized. It's the extinct T-Rapture, much more powerful than the usual T-Rexaur. It is at least ten times stronger than a usual T-Rexaur.
"Run for your lives!" Zell screamed.
Suddenly, Seifer took his gunblade and rushed to the T-Rapture. He forced his gunblade into its eye. Watching the T-Rapture suffering, we three escaped.
Soon, we were by a river. We took a few gulps of water. I turned and tried to take a look at Seifer. Then I opened my mouth wide.
"Aieeeeeee!" I screamed.
I saw a T-Rapture behind him. Then I started to run with Zell. We both left Seifer behind. And then from a distance away, I heard a sound of the T-Rapture digesting its human meal. Then suddenly I saw Seifer running. Behind him was an Esthar guard.
"You kids shouldn't be here!" The injured guard scolded us.
"Then… what was that loud, digesting-" Zell paused.
"Buuurp…" The T-Rapture burped.
"You three. You made my friend killed by the stupid dinosaur or whatever it is. We followed you right here, and…" The guard continued.
"You mean that's the other guard?" I asked, feeling sorry and guilty.
"Yeah, he gave his life just to save your stupid hide!" The guard pointed an accusing finger at Seifer.
Suddenly, footsteps could be heard. Bumpy ones. Loud ones. Then the ground started to shake violently. The guard froze, staring at the T-Rapture behind him. I realized it was the T-Rapture that Seifer used his weapon on. Was it the same T-Rapture that doomed the other guard?
"Run, kids! Quick, before it-" The T-Rapture took the guard by its jaws. Then started to crunch on its human meal.
Before getting eaten, the guard said, "I'm coming with you. Dying in the same stomach."
We ran as fast as our legs could carry us. I was frightened. Then I spotted a tunnel.
"I don't want to be that T-Rapture's meal!" Zell shouted as he leaped into the tunnel.
"Cool. We're safe, at least for now," I rolled my eyes.
I peeped out. I saw at least three T-Raptures. Am I going blind? We're gonna be doomed, I realized. Then I decided to go through this tunnel.
=After two hours=
"Hey Squall! We're out!" Zell exclaimed as he walked on.
"Yeah," I replied.
Seifer raced to the opening. Then me. Then Zell. I was so exited that we were out, but of course we have not planned the way to defeat the T-Raptures. Suddenly, a loud 'BOOM' was heard through the tunnel. I realized it was the sound of the T-Rapture's footsteps.
"T-Raptures," I whispered solemnly. I dropped on my knees.
"Cool," Seifer said sadly.
"We'll have to face them." Zell said.
"No way!" Seifer leaped out of the tunnel.
Then I saw bones. Human bones. Then I saw a Ragnarok ship. It seems pretty destroyed.
"Now what?" Seifer complained as behind the human graveyard was a group of T-Rapture.
We three headed to our right as fast as we could. To the Ragnarok ship. Without anyone making any noise, we somersault-jumped into the open door of the ship. Then I quickly pressed the green button. The door closed.
"I didn't knew we were gonna get into this! You told me it was safe, Squall. C'mon, if you could smile right now, I'll punch you a million times," the hot-tempered Zell scolded.
I did not dare say a word. I realised the cause of it. It's because of my stupid planning, stupid adventuring brain and my boredness. I changed my mind. I'd rather stay in the garden, watching stupid cartoons, eating yucky snacks and training in the field. I totally changed my stupid mind.
"Hey, check this out!" Seifer shouted from the control room.
"Cool," I said as I entered the room. Big long machine guns were scattered around. There are a few dozen. The most important radio was totaled.
I realized a war happened here before. I moved forward and reached for the controls. I suddenly tripped and pressed on a 'Brief' button.
"What's this?" I was confused.
A world graph appeared. Arrows were pointed everywhere on the mini world each with a different mission. Again, I realized this graph is this world we're in now. I read it all carefully. This planet was where the T-Rapture exists. Soldiers around the world gather to destroy them. After hard work, the T-Raptures was destroyed. But the soldiers had no transport back or radio to call for help.
I turned back and saw a few more graphs. I glanced at the third one. Then something caught my eye.
"What the?" I said.
The graph has six arrows pointing around it. On top of the graph was a sentence that reads: "If the T-Rapture returns, there is only one final way to destroy them. The graph below shows the places to find special stones. These are known as the 'Dynamo'. Collect them all and bring it to the Ring of Force. The Ring of Force is the first arrow in the graph. The other five arrows are the information about the Dynamo Stones and its guardians. Each guardian has it's own strength and weaknesess. The Ring of Force serve as a guide to whoever who discovers this message. It has the ability to send different forces when someone is nearby a Dynamo Stone. The force will either pull or push that person."
"Hey, look!" Zell exclaimed suddenly, looking outside the Ragnarok window. "The T-Raptures are gone! They gave up!"
"Let's get down," I ordered. Then I told them about the Dynamo Stones and the Ring of Force.
"Let's have a gun each!" Seifer said as he picked the biggest gun for himself and threw two medium-sized guns to Zell and me.
"Cool guns! These are really big!" Zell loaded his gun with shells that he picked.
"I haven't seen a shotgun as long as two metres before," I said with impressed feelings as I measured my medium-sized gun with my gunblade. "My gunblade's length is two metres!"
We went down the Ragnarok ship to look for the Dynamo Stones. Then we continued our journey. We headed nowhere, looking for the first stone. Or maybe our first and last adventure...
Zell and I headed to where the old and unused Ragnarok ships were stored. Quistis was checking out the stores. I planned to bring Zell with me. He agreed.
In the airstation, guards were scattering everywhere. As what I planned, I tagged Zell along. We both looked around and spotted a green light. It was shining so brightly that we can hardly even look at it. Two guards were guarding in front of it.
