"Classify this dorm block as Classified Information and move all student's to Block 10." Xu ordered as she watched the Garden Privates clean the bloody hall up. Blood was sprayed everywhere like an elaborate modern art painting, but more horrifying to look at. Bodies once littered the floor of this used to be quiet sanctuary for sleeping and studying purposes, now it was torn and dashed against the rocks of hope by the cruel wrath of the blood thirsty Angel of Death.

"Xu, we have confirmation on who caused the blood shed." An officer said as he walked up to her from behind. Xu kept her eyes locked on the blood drenched hall in front of her. "Nida." The officer told her quickly, as he looked to the ground solemnly. Xu made no attempt to show any expression. She bit her lower lip and turned to the officer.

"Thank you. Please report your results to the Commander." Xu told him as she held an arm out, pointing to the direction he was to head. The male officer quickly hurried to that way which was given to him. "It seems it has already started, it was much sooner than I had thought." Xu said quietly as she clenched her fist tightly....

Quistis sat silently at the lab desk as she looked through files and files of reports from her two other colleagues. Though one now deceased, he had still given quite a push for the project. She opened one particular folder next to her and looked at the first page of the stack of papers. It read:

'Nida's Report #1 -

It seems I have confirmation of the blood type of Adel, technically.... After extensive testing with the sample of blood I had taken from the pool upon the floor of the Ventilation room, or now appropriately entitled the 'Command Post'. I have discovered that this blood type does not even exist. It seems to be it's own particular type, it also seems to have an awkwardly fast expansion system to duplicate itself. Though are blood cells do not have the power to multiply themselves when ever the need feels necessary, we do have the power to create more. With this figured, there is no way in telling if the body of Adel's is alive or dead but one small problem remains with that question. If she did die, which everyone suspects, then why aren't her sorceress powers transferred onto someone else?'

Quistis's eyes widened in shock as she silently read the last phrase to herself. Why didn't she see that before?

"The only liquid that forms like that is..." She began as she trailed off her last word. She walked to the cabinet just a few feet behind her, and swung the doors of it open. Many melon colored folders were neatly organized in several rows. Each particular row on top of one another. She placed her hands to the edges of the folders and moved her hand across the folders, each folder flicked off her finger lightly, her eyes followed her hand as they skimmed across the folders. She smiled as her eyes and hand stopped on one particular folder.

"This is it." She told herself quietly as she pulled the folder from the cabinet....

"It seems once again you have disappointed us Kramer." The man at the other end of the table said sorrowfully.

"First it was Matron now the LionHeart and Ultimecia." One of the other men said.

"I am afraid your pleas cannot be answered this time." One of the other men said. Cid consciously looked to the dark brown wooden table before him. All 6 other men were in seats, except him. He was the one being interrogated.

"Please, if I can retrieve the LionHeart and Ultimecia will you hold this off a little longer, I will get them." Cid begged.

"It is to late for that." One of the men said.

"You have already made the foolish mistake of bringing her in." One of the men pointed out.

"And now that the two are alined, you have just brought our mission to a close." The last man said with a smirk. Cid glared at the desk menacingly, for the fool he was. He shouldn't have ordered for her to be brought in, especially with the LionHeart so far away.

"Wait, there may be an opportunity to bring you to her." One of the men said with a mischievous smile on his face. The rest of the five and Cid looked to him in astonishment. Cid's eyes brightened up.

"Thank you!" Cid said with a small bow.

"You may leave now Commander, we will issue the plan to you, when we have things sorted out." The man at the end of the table told him.....

Night had befallen Garden quickly. The halls of the Dorms were quiet. Not a sound was heard. The slightest pin drop would cause several students in the area to wake up. The issue of curfew remained stable and at the same time, despite the worlds state at that moment. The sound of boots clicking against the linoleum floor of the dorm block echoed through them. The man with the boots twisted and turned his cowboy hat, ready for his next mission that he issued to himself. He stopped in front of a dorm door, the sign on the door read: 'Block 321: S, Leonhart' . He took no bother in knocking, he looked at the door handle and silently, the door began to open. The cow boy smirked to himself as he entered the dark room, it may have been dark but Irvine knew his way around the standard issue dorm of Balamb Garden. He placed a hand down to feel the light comfort of the bed and he smiled to himself, and in the middle would be Squall Leonhart, asleep. He raised his gun to what he thought was the middle, pulled the trigger and fired...

The next morning, Selphie, being her usual nosey and bouncy self, bounded down the hall of Garden block 3, where Squall's dorm was. She was to wake him from his slumber and bring him to breakfast. She turned to where Squall's dorm door was and knocked on the door. But as her hand fell onto the door, the door pushed its way open. A worried look crossed her face as she stepped inside.

"Squall?" She called out looking to her left, which was the standard issue bathroom that each dorm room had. The bathroom door was wide open and no one was in there. She pushed open the door that lead to Squall's study and sleeping areas. She looked to the desk, no one there. But she looked to his bed and screamed. Blood covered the window behind the bed, and the bed sheet as well. A large bullet hole was in the middle of Squall's chest. Selphie stumbled back and tripped. She screamed again, and again and again until she could scream no more............
