FF8-The New Challenge
Ch.11 SeeD exam
Discalimer: I don't own FF8 and I'm not making money off this.
**************************************************************************** ** Josh was standing on the roof of a building to serve as lookout incase anyone came. Because of his work at the orphanage, and his training that Edea had given him..as well as the finding of 2 new GFs, he was allowed to take the SeeD exam. As luck would have it, he was in a group with Rinoa, Raijin, and two other candidates. The crew leader was Rinoa, and the SeeD in charge was Selphie. Josh dispised them both for their energy..as well as their lack of dicipline. They sat around gossiping, while the others worked.
Josh spotted something moving in the shrubs. "Identify or be attacked." Josh challenged who..or what..ever was down there. To his surprise, Xu rose, and saluted. She identified herself. "Escort...two man, front gate." Selphie and Rinoa were still to busy talking about whose butt was cutest among the male SeeDs, and who had a fake nose to notice him. Raijin, and a skilled sword artist named Kent, formed the escort party and went out to show Xu in to the area.
The mission had been simple...an old Galbadian fort had been over run by monsters, and the government had asked that SeeD clean it out in order for it to be made useable agian. most off the monsters had been elemenated, and now Josh's team was waiting for re-enforcements from Galbadia, while other teams cleaned out the few remaining monsters.
Now, the arrival of Xu meant that their group had new orders. Xu was escorted into the enclosed area, and saw that the two members who were incharge of teh opperation were doing nothing, just sitting and talking loudly about things not pertaining to the mission. She approached them un noticed, and placed a hand on each of their shoulders "Are we having fun ladies?" Both personel snapped to attention. "I trust your discussion was pruely mission based." Xu gave the two looks that meant the commander would hear of this later. Both women wanted to melt inot teh ground at that moment.....Josh was well pleased that they were getting what they deserved.
He saw another movement. "Identify or be Attacked." No response "Identify now or prepare to be engadged." Still no answer, but Josh's eyes tracked the movement, as the argessor moved to-and-fro trying to confuse him. "Engadging." Josh raised the DragonSoul above his head. "Dragon Slash!!" Josh brought the weapon down infront of him..it left an energy slash in the air, and when his arc was complete, the arc spun towards the movement. It hit home, knocking Zell out of the bushes and into the open. Josh raised his hand, "Firaga." The magic attack singed Zell, and he lept around.
Josh followed protocal...three chalenges, two attacks, then another challenge. If no responce after final challenge.....Attack in full force. "Identify or be Attacked." This time, Zell identified himself, and was escorted to within the enclosed area, where his wounds were treated. "Sorry Zell, I had to follow protocal."
"It's okay. I was instructed to make sure you were following protocal."
Xu walked over next to Zell, "I have new orders, the reenforcements have arrived, and Zell is an important negotiator. Your team must get him to the recon ship in the harbor, as unharmed as possible. Once he is safely aboard, you must withdraw, using the vessel also in-port." Xu saluted, and then left to round up the other teams.
Rinoa placed Josh at the front, Raijin in back, Kent and Joe on the sides, and both herself and Selphie inside the 'box' as a last resort protection agianst attack. Zell was between the two girls, and the group went like that the rest of the way down. Josh thought it would have been smart to send down two people in front to clear a trail of any monsters, but Rinoa disagreed. They were engaged twice, both times by low-level grats, who josh took out with one swing of his DragonSoul.
After they arrived in Balamb, Selphie reported to the HeadMaster's office, while the others awaited the announcements. In the end, Josh, Seifer, Raijin, Fujin, Kent, and a few others made it to the rank of SeeD.
At the SeeD ball, Josh went as Fujins date, and fell in love even more with her after seeing how light she was on the dance floor.
The next 3 days were Vacation for all who passed the SeeD exam. Seifer, Raijin, Fujin, Kent, Quistis, and Raijin's girl friend, a blonde named Shelly, were waiting outside Josh's room when he came out at 7:00 for his moring run.
"We're going to Deuling city for a party to celebrate. Fujin wants you to come..we'll do Kareoke, clubs, stay at a 5-star hotel with private Suites..and it's all paid for by Garden." Seifer explained
"Have fun." Josh started to wards teh trainign center. Fujin stopped him by grabbing the back of his shirt.
"Your coming to Josh."
"I am? I wasn't informed that I was."
"Josh, you really want to come and spend some time with your girlf friend, don't you?" Fujin pulled him into a deep kiss before he could answer.
"Well...I'll have to call my other girl-friends and tell them not to come over while I'm out of town..... but I'll come." Josh teased...purely trying to get Fujin rilled and jealous. **************************************************************************** ** sorry about the pause between posting..I hit a wall there.
