"Fatali"
Squall awoke with a start.
He was sweating all over , and was very hot.
Still sweating , he tried to recall what he had been dreaming about , but without success.
He layback , and removed his blankets in an effort to cool him down.
Finally , he turned the air conditioning up a notch.
Balamb Garden was currently in Esthar , a highly advanced city secluded from the rest of the world.
Traffice could still be seen on the endless streets outside.
Rinoa was in the bed next to his , but , she herself was sleeping soundly.
What had awoken him?
His door creaked , telling him that someone was outside.
Squall stood up from his bed , and took the handle of his Lion Heart into the hall leading to the SeeD
Dorms.He spotted a garden faculty wandering around in the hall. What would a faculty be doing this late? squall thought
The faculty spotted squall , and rushed to the elevator.
"Hey , you , come back"
Squall followed the faculty , but the faculty reached the elevator first , and went up.
The Elevator came back down , empty , so Squall went in , to the second floor , where the faculty had stoped.
But , the faculty was no wehre to be seen , so squall checked the classroom , nothing.
He them checked the deck , where the faculty was , looking out into the city.
"What are you doing out so late?", asked Squall suspiciously.
The faculty turned around , and Squall saw the face of a woman , dressed up as a faculty.
Squall immediately raised his sword.
"Who are you?"
The woman jumped off the deck , to squall's suprise , was she mad? it was least an hundred foot drop.
But the woman had attached a rope to the deck which had been concealed from Squalls sight , and
the woman landed gracefully on the city street.
She then ran off into an alley.
Squall repeated her maenourvre , and followed her into the city.
He reached the alley into which she had went , and saw a turn , into which he followed.
The woman was no where to be seen , and Squall had decided to return to garden,
when he heard a scream.
It came from over a wall.
Squall jumped over the wall , and saw the woman backed into the wall by a Funguar.
They where only a little dangerous , but the woman was not armed .
Squall scraped his sowrd onto the cement , grabbing the creatures attention.
He felt a surge of energy. He hadn't been in a battle for ages .
The Funguar turned towards squall , and cast bio.
A large green substance had surrounded Squall , and was lifting him into the air .
He couldn't breathe , and it was poisoning him.
Finally the spell finished , dropping Squall to the ground.
Squall lay there for a moment , he felt weak.
The creature had come towards him to attack , Squall lept to his feet , and cast blizzara.
A great Icicle drove up from the ground , from under the Funguar , piercing him.
The Ice dissapeared , and the Funguar's lifeless body fell , dead.
Breathing heavily , the woman came towards Squall.
"Its you , its really you" She whispered.
"What's me? who are you?" replied Squall angrily.
"Ahh, you have your fathers eyes" said the woman , smiling.
"How would you know , who are you"
The woman stroked his cheek "And his temper"
Squall couldn't take this any more , and grabbed the womans hand.
"Who are you"
She beamed at him.
"I'm your mother"
