THE BECOMING

Chapter 4

Authors Note: I know it's been ages seen I've posted a chapter but I've been writing my new story The Locked Dorm which will be posted soon. Well here it is at last…Chapter 4!!!!!!!!!!

Squall, Zell and Seifer ran along the beach to the main area of Dollet. They were just about to run up into the street that led to Dollet's main square when 3 Galbadian soldiers came running at them.

"My first ever real battle" thought Squall. "Time to kill!"

Squall and Seifer drew their gunblades and Zell raised his fists ready to fight. They each moved in to battle a soldier. They were more experienced than these soldiers at fighting and it was obvious that they hadn't been properly trained. Squall and Seifer slashed their gunblades and quickly cut them down. Zell went to work on the other soldier. He knocked him out with one punch and finished him off with an uppercut.

"Man, these are puffs," said Seifer. "Not even a challenge."

They walked down the streets fighting any soldiers that tried to stop them. When they got to the town centre they saw one soldier all by himself. Seifer slowly crept up behind the soldier.

"BOOOOOOOO!!!!!" shouted Seifer, making the soldier jump into the air. The soldier turned around to see a gunblade head straight for his chest before he collapsed into a pool of blood.

"Scout the area for anymore soldiers," Seifer commanded.

They walked down a sidestreet away from Seifer. Zell spotted two soldiers talking round the corner.

"Hey!"

The soldiers looked up to see Squall and Zell. "Let's get them!"

Squall got his gunblade, spun it around his head as the soldiers came towards them. Both the Galbadian soldiers fell to the floor bleeding where Squall had slashed them with his gunblade.

"Nice one!"

Just as Zell said that they heard a dog start to howl. Squall and Zell went back to see what it was. Seifer was bent over, holding the dog up to him.

"Ahhh…my eyes. Tear them out!!!" said Zell howling, falling to the floor.

"Shut up Zell." Seifer said, red in the face.

"Seifer, I didn't know you was interested in dogs as well." Squall teased. "Wait until Quistis finds out about this."

"You wouldn't dare."

"Wait and see."

Luckily for Seifer a group of Galbadian soldiers came creeping past distracting their attention away from Seifer's actions.

"Where are they going?" Zell asked.

"Our next destination." Seifer exclaimed.

They followed the soldiers along the path. It seemed to be leading to the tower at the top of the hill. The area had almost no soldiers at all guarding this area of Dollet.

"Ugh…" A voice cried out.

Squall looked down to see a Dollet soldier lying on the floor badly injured. Zell bent down to inspect the wounds.

"These weren't done by human."

Just at that moment, they saw an Anacondaur coming towards them.

"Monsters," said Seifer. "More fun for us."

The three of them surrounded it. Squall and Seifer got their gunblades and attacked it from both sides making it make a sickening screaming sound. Zell stood further away and attacked with magic. He summoned up a blizzard spell and directed it towards the Anacondaur. The blizzard spell spun off course and hit Seifer, which knocked him to the floor in pain.

"Oops!"

He summoned up another spell and cast it towards the Anacondaur again. This time it flew off course again and hit Squall, throwing him to the floor.

"Whoopsies!"

The Anacondaur looked towards Squall and Seifer and saw they were injured. It advanced towards Zell whilst he was panicking about injuring his team-mates. He started backing off as the Anacondaur kept coming towards him. The Anacondaur was quickly closing in. Zell backed off more and more. He had less and less room to move now.

"Ahhhhhh!" Zell backed into the mountain wall that stood behind him knocking a rock off the top of the mountain and squashing the monster.

"Well done, Zell! That was done so professionally." Said Seifer getting up, casting a cure spell on himself. Squall got up and did the same.

"Zell, try to aim your magic a little better next time and not hit your team mates."

They regrouped and hurried up the mountain. Once the reached the peak they ducked down away from view before any Galbadian soldiers saw them. The group they had seen at the bottom were talking outside and then went into the tower.

"This is your first real battle?" asked Seifer. Squall nodded, without looking at Seifer.

"How do you feel?"

"I don't know."

"This is my dream." Seifer beamed.

He jumped down from the ledge, ran towards the door and turned round to face Squall again. "Maybe one day I'll tell you my ROMANTIC dream." He opened the door and ran inside.

"I wonder if I'm in Seifer's romantic dream." Zell said, lost in his thoughts with a dreamy look on his face.

"Please don't even make me things like that." Squall said shuddering.

"Wait for me."

They turned around to see the girl that Squall had met this morning. She tripped over a rock and fell to the floor. She looked up with his face red and stuck her tongue out at Squall and Zell. She pulled herself from the floor still embarrassed. "Hey, I know you. You showed me round this morning." Squall nodded.

"Thanks I don't get lost as much anymore. Oh and my name's Selphie in case you was wondering."

"Not really." Selphie turned away looking hurt at Squall's comment. She decided to change the subject.

"Are you Squad B?"

"Yeah!"

"I have a message for the captain. Where is he?"
Squall pointed to the tower. "In there."

"Come on then, let's go." She said jumping off the ledge.

"We don't have to jump, do we?" Zell asked fearfully.

Squall nodded, then jumped to where Selphie was below.

"Erm…I think I'll go round the other way."

"We don't have time to waste, just jump."

Zell stepped up the edge of the ledge, his whole body shaking. "Here I go." He jumped off nervously and landed hard on the ground.

"Ow, my…body…crushed! The…pain! Don't think…I…can…make it!"

Selphie ran up to him. "Zell get up or I'll kick you."

"Fine." Zell got up and the three of them headed into the communications tower.

They stepped through the door to a dark room. There was a lift in the centre and a draw point to the left.

Squall threw his hands up in joy. "Oh wow! A save point. I can't believe they really exist." Zell and Selphie looked at him bewildered by the way he was acting.

"A what?"

"A save point."

"What does it do?"

"Watch and see." Squall walked up to the save point and shouted "Save!". Zell and Selphie by this point looked extremely scared and thought Squall had gone insane. Squall then drew his gunblade and stabbed himself in the chest. He dropped to the floor in a heap, with blood all over his body. Selphie walked over to Squall to feel his pulse.

"He's dead!"

Authors Note: Oh no! Squall's dead. What's gonna happen to him? You might think Squall is alright but remember this is my fic. I wonder what I could do…how different would the game be if Squall had two heads? Or even better Squall grows breasts. Oh well, you have to wait for the next chapter to find out what I do to him. But while your waiting keep reviewing my story. Thanks!
