Zells student

Chapter 2: On the field

Zell comes to about an hour after the fight. He gets off his bed and starts holding his chest. Then he falls to the floor.

"ZELL!" Shouted the doctor as she noticed him lying there on the floor holding his chest. She walks over to him and lifts him onto his bed. Zell is sitting there trying to no fall into unconsciousness.

"Zell what are you doing."

"I need to get out..out..of" he starts holding his head that has a bandage wrapped round.

"You're staying right where you are Zell. Go back to sleep" Before she had even finished he fell onto the bed and fell straight asleep.

"Doc can I talk him" came a voice from another room.

The doctor started walking out the room. "Sorry Irvine his fell asleep."

"Damn. I've gotta go. Thanx doc." He opened the door but the Doctor started talking.

"Wait Irvine. What happened to him?" She asked with a worried look on her face.

"Sorry I can't say." He lifts of his hat "You may be getting another patient in here soon." He drops the hat back on his head and slams the door behind him.


Irvine is standing at the front gate waiting for Zells class. There was only one student there. Zove. She had long black hair and had a tank top on with X's all over. She wore leather gloves with the fingers cut out and jeans cut just above the shins. She had normal white trainers on. She was always punctual and never missed a lesson. She had been waiting with him for about 15mins.

"So where is Zell." She asked trying to lighten the mood

"Hospital." Answered Irvine in a snappy tone.

"What happened to him."? She enquired

"He got a little beat up."

"Oh is he okay." No one knew it but she had a crush on Zell and always had. She used to train with him but he decided she didn't need private coaching anymore.

"No."

"Who did it? Who would want to hurt Zell?"

"I'm taking care of it."

"Can I help."?

"No."

"I really want to help."

"I can take care of it.

"Listen." She said moving right in front of his eyes. "Its pretty obvious one person didn't do this to him. So how are you going to fight them? You haven't even got your gun." He had left his gun on purpose he wanted to take care of it without that much bloodshed.

"Whatever."

"You aren't even trained in hand to hand combat. Now tell me who did it."

"It was Zedre."

"Zedre?" She stepped backwards and held her hand over her face. "How where you going to fight Zedre. His top of our class. Plus he has his posse."

"I'll take care of it."

Suddenly before she could answer Zedre and his posse appeared walking towards them.

"So where's chicken wuss." Zedre said flicking his fringe up. Irvine turned round and grabbed him by the throat.

"You'll get yours kid." He let go because he heard some more of Zells class coming.

He stood in front of all 10 of them.

"Okay due to circumstances beyond my control Zell is unable to be here."

"Good." Shouted Zedre from the class.

"Shut up Zedre. Oh and what are they doing here." He pointed at the posse.

"There with me." Zell had always allowed them to come. Nobody knew why he just did. Only one except Zedre of the posse took hand-to-hand the other two took normal classes and one of them didn't even go to the school.

"Well they can get away. They're not taking the class."

"Goxier is" H said pointing at one of the posse. Goxier was pretty tall and had a shaven head with a stubble beard. He was about 20 and he didn't even wear a top. He had army combat trousers on and huge boots.

"Well the rest isn't. So bugger of." They all walked away mumbling under there breath. There where now only seven of them. "Okay today we are heading into the forest on the way to the fire cavern. I will lead. Try and avoid monsters if possible.


They had arrived at the edge of the forest and Irvine started speaking.

"Okay split into groups of two and lead into the forest. You will have first hand combat training. With no supervision. Watch yourselves. Zove your with me. Zedre go with Goxier. Ergte, Moffet and Lie you three go together." They all walked into the forest, going there separate ways.

"So Irvine what's your plan."

"I'm going to find him, and punish him."

They walked along for about 10minutes before they found them in a clearing just having a lie down.

"GET UP." He screamed.

"Oh look it's the cowboy." He said in a sarcastic tone.

"Zedre get ready to fight. Or I'll make you." Irvine pulled of his long overcoat revealing a white tank top. He pulled of his hat and threw it down. Zedre slipped his gloves on and prepared to fight him.

"Hey Irvine what's your lady friend doing." He pointed at Zove and Irvine looked away. Zedre swung a right hook into Irvine's gut. "Like that cowboy." Irvine was bending over holding his gut. "Take a seat." He grabbed Irvine's leg and swung it from under him. Irvine fell flat on his back backing his head off the floor. His head started bleeding from the back. Zedre started kicking him on the floor. "Get up cowboy." He lifted a bloody faced Irvine of the floor. He swung back another punch and placed it right on his face. Suddenly a great roar came from the distance. "Shit a T-rex. Run Goxier."

"Stop right ther......*cough*" Zell appeared in front of Zedre

"Oh chicken wuss" He swung a punch right at Zells face. Zell fell flat on the floor. "Get him Goxier. Goxier picked him up and the two ran away in the direction of Balamb. Irvine was about to give chase when he heard the screams of Ergte, Moffet and Lie.

"Irvine come on we have to help them." Zove put one of his arms over her shoulder. "Come on."
