Chapter 06:
When they have finally reached the first floor, they saw General Scott together with a patrol guard and the man who
Assigned their mission. When Scott saw them, he motioned the group to come closer. He still hadn't notice that Bruce was
with them.
"Balamb Students, please come over here 'coz I need you to." he stopped when he saw Bruce with them. "Denzon,
why, I thought I already got rid of you!" Scott snickered.
"Surprised? Thanks to these students, I'm still here" Bruce said proudly.
"Don't ever try to come out all clean, General," Seifer boomed. "We already know everything."
"Yeah! You and governor Jackson lied to all of us!" Rinoa called.
After hearing this, Scott grinned at them viciously. "You've known too much!" he took his machine gun and positioned
Himself to trigger a fight. "I very sorry but I think it's the time to shut your stupid mouths for good!" his 2 companions also did
The same.
The battle with Gen. Scott is quite an easy one. Seifer and Rinoa had their magic and limit break combinations while
Raijin remained as the primary summoner of GF's throughout the fight. After Raijin had summoned Quezacotl, everyone knew
That the general was close to defeat. "Not bad for you, Garden twerps." Scott said as he fell to his knees. "But.you're.
Not getting.away with this.." he grabbed a small gadget from the breast pocket of his uniform and pressed a button before he
Fell to the ground.
"BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!" was heard from all over the place. Doorways had been automatically shut to prevent intruders
from escaping.
"It's the building's defense alarm. We're now in a big trouble!" Bruce cried hysterically. "They will kill us all!"
"You shut up!" Seifer ordered him as he himself didn't know what to do.
Rinoa scanned her surroundings and begged her mind to come up with something.
"We're trapped!" Raijin told the others as he charged through the door with all his might.
"Maybe there is still an emergency exit here or something," Rinoa suggested nervously. She was starting to freak out. If
they have to engage in another fight, they'll never make it to the shore in time.
Bruce' eyes finally lit up. "I know! There's a secret exit somewhere at the top of the tower. Come on, follow me."
The three had no choice but to follow Bruce up to the top of the tower without knowing what would await them. They
Continued to follow Bruce as he climbed the last flight of stairs, leading them to a door marked, 'Controls Room'. Beside the
Door was a ladder leading to a small portion at the ceiling.
"There's the exit." Bruce pointed to a black spot on the ceiling.
"I just hope this will work," Rinoa prayed in despair while trying hard not to be so negative. As if reading her
thoughts, Bruce took out a card key from his wallet. "This shall do it," he swiped the card key in a control panel on his left
and punched in a few codes.
"Can't you work on it a little faster?" Seifer fumed impatiently.
"Just wait,"
With a short 'toot', the hidden exit opened. "Heh, heh, told ya to leave it to me," Bruce rejoiced. Rinoa couldn't help
Smiling.
"But are you sure it is safe for us to go up there?" Seifer, who was still hesitant, asked him.
Rinoa didn't care about what her captain had cautioned. All she wanted was to the hell out of this place as soon as
Possible.
I'll go first to check it out," Raijin presented himself. He climbed the ladder without waiting for Seifer's signal.
"Be quick," Seifer commanded him. When Raijin reached the hole, he sneaked his head outside and looked around.
"There's no one here," Raijin reported to his companions below. He climbed outside and waited for the others to
arrive.
"Alright, I'll go next," Bruce announced excitedly. Seifer let Rinoa climb the ladder first before taking his turn. In a
short while, Bruce was already reunited with Raijin outside.
"Whoa!" Bruce cheered happily while waving his arms in the air. Then he looked down at Rinoa and Seifer from the
hole. "Here, Rinoa, give me your hand," He offered his stretched arms.
The door suddenly shut itself as Rinoa was about to grab Bruce' hand.
"What's happening?"
Before Rinoa and Seifer could realize what was happening, they heard somebody called them from below.
"I won't let you escape!" a man in gas mask taunted. With that he took a hose attached to a small tank in his back and
pulled the trigger.
Seifer's mind was spinning. In a few seconds, they were enveloped by a cloud of gas and he's starting to loosen
His grip bit by bit. "N-no! t- this.isn't.tear gas!" Seifer thought. But before he can do something, he lose consciousness
And everything went pitch black.

Rinoa woke up after she had fallen asleep for quite sometime. She still felt dizzy as if her head was stuffed with so
Much cotton. "Where am I?" she asked herself. She tried hard to remember everything that had happened.
"The door shut itself while I was ready to grab Bruce' hand."
"A cloud of gas." she recalled. "Seifer and I were there.Oh no, Seifer!" She was in a narrow room with a poor lighting.
She looked about her and searched for Seifer. After a while, she had also discovered that her blaster edge had been taken
Away from her. "Where could he be?" Rinoa wondered fearfully. She run towards the door and turned the knob.
Fortunately for her, the door wasn't locked. She slipped outside and closed the door quietly behind her.
Outside was a single fluorescent bulb which lighted the whole place. Three armed military men were also patrolling the
Whole area. "I must look for Seifer without being caught," Rinoa told herself. She noticed a few stack of boxes to her
Right, not very far from where she is standing. "I have to use the lift," Rinoa ran to the boxes and hid herself there, while
Waiting for the guards to patrol the other end of the floor. But just as she was about to make her move, somebody covered
Her mouth and grabbed her from behind.
