"Squall."
"What is it Rinoa?"
"An Esthar airship just landed. Laguna's here to see you."
"Could you send him in please?" A few moments later, President Laguna entered the room with a worried expression on his face. "What is it?"
"Squall, I need your help. I made a really big mistake and I really screwed up this time."
"That makes a change," Squall thought wryly to himself.
"Dr Odine created a perfect soldier for the Esthar army. He is seemingly invincible and was supposed to follow orders exactly, but now."
"He doesn't follow anyone's orders?"
"Yeah." Laguna hung his head, not even wanting to look at his own son.
"I don't mean to sound cold but what can we do about him? I thought you said he couldn't be killed."
"Maybe there's a way we haven't thought of. Please, Squall. He's in Esthar now. Nobody can stop him."
"Surely Dr Odine can stop him, after all he created him."
"Dr Odine is dead." Squall sat deep in thought for a few moments, before turning on the PA system.
"Nida, set course for Esthar."
"So do you have a plan?" Quistis asked Squall. The whole Garden had been informed of their destination and the reason for it.
"Yes. Us five will enter Esthar and head for Odine's lab."
"Just us six?" exclaimed Selphie.
"Yes. I believe a small group will have more of a chance of getting through unnoticed by this soldier."
"Yo, Squall. What will we do when we're at the lab?" This time it was Zell asking the question.
"We need to find Odine's research papers. Hopefully we can then figure out this guy's weakness. We'll arrive in Esthar in three hours time. Be ready."
"No, Squall. You are not leaving me here."
"Rinoa. You're not a SeeD, you shouldn't be a part of this mission."
"Please let me go."
"No. You might get hurt. I couldn't live with that."
"But you could live with Quistis, Selphie, Zell or Irvine getting hurt?"
"They're SeeDs. They've trained for this and they're prepared."
"Please Squall."
"My decision is final. You can't go."
"Why does he have to be so stubborn? Why won't he let me go? I wouldn't get hurt, not with him there to protect me. I might be able to help."
"Who am I kidding? I always get into trouble. I'd only be a burden on them. Still, I can't bear being asked to just sit around here doing nothing."
"Everyone, this is Squall. We have arrived outside Esthar City. I do not want anyone to leave Garden without my permission. Instead, I want Garden to be properly defended. All SeeDs with an even ID number report to the front gate. All SeeDs with an odd ID number please report to the Quad. Good luck everybody."
"Are we leaving?" asked Selphie.
"Yes. Make sure you're all prepared and junction your GFs."
"Will we travel by ship?"
"No. We don't want to attract attention. Okay everybody, let's go."
