Sorceress Rinoa.P.O.V

I'm really nervous. I mean REALLY nervous. Relax. How hard can it be? I've been in heaps of battles before; this exam should be a piece of cake.

Squall. At first he really didn't want me to become a SeeD, cause I would be in too much danger, but come on! I'm a Sorceress, so I would be in danger anyway and anyway, and I can take care of myself. I have fought in thousands of battles including the one against Ultimecia. I still love Squall. Let me rephrase that. I'm madly in love with Squall!

....

I'm waiting in the lobby for Irvine, Seifer and Quistis to arrive. I'm wearing my normal battle gear (blue outfit); I have my GF's already equipped and my magic junctioned, I'm all set!

Quistis just arrived and soon came Irvine then Seifer. Quistis started to speak. "Okay, listen up. Your exam is in Timber." .Timber, I hope its nothing to bad. "Galbadia invaded Timber 24 hours ago, once again. A request for SeeD was made 5 hours ago. You will be going there to help the citizens and secure parts of the city. I'm sure you will get the job done, if not, SeeD's will. Now please head to the Ragnarok."

Shit! We quickly walked to the Ragnarok. I hope everyone's all right. It took five minutes for the Ragnarok to arrive at Timber. There was one other Squad on the Ragnarok, Squad A. SeeD's and any other Squads were taking a longer route.

The Ragnarok landed. Other Squads and SeeD's had already arrived and were running around, dodging bombs and fighting G-soldiers. We ran out of the Ragnarok. "Quick! You are to secure the old pub, the alley and the T.V Station! Make sure you're GF's are equipped!"

"Guys, follow me!" I yelled. We ran into the main street. Soldiers! They were chasing the 'Chief'! Shit! I screamed at the soldiers "Hey you stupid losers! Come here and get me!" They turned around to see myself, Irvine and Seifer. "SeeD's! Lets get 'em!" they yelled as they charged at us. One hit and they were dead.

I ran up to the 'Chief'. "Are you okay 'Chief'?" She looked up at me and whispered, " Rinoa. Thank Hyne. Go save the others." I saw she was shot in the arm. "Hold on" I said. I casted Cura on her and told her to get home quickly.

We kept running. We encountered several other soldiers, but eventually got to the T.V Station. We went inside. We walked in and the place was deserted. Seifer visibly shuddered when he saw it. It brought back very bad memories.

We went to the room where Edea had once appeared and taken Seifer. The Veils were still there. "Hey! Squad B!" I heard a girl scream. She started to run up to me, but then some kind of monster came up behind her. I quickly jumped in front of her and I was hit by Ultima.three times. I was knocked out. Irvine and Seifer had quickly joined the battle. Suddenly I woke up, really weak, someone must have cast Life on me.

My Limit Break came up. "ANGEL WING!" I screeched. I crossed my arms over my chest, closed my eyes as I felt wings sprouting from my back. I started levitating, opened my eyes and spread out my arms then gently came back on the ground. I was going to give this monster a piece of my mind.

I cast triple on my self. Then Irvine cast Bahamut and Seifer continually attacked (one attack from Seifer took 9999hp). I then cast Ultima 3 times in a row, back onto the monster. Still not dead, eh? This will definitely kill it. Something I learnt from Ultimecia.

"Guys! Step back!" I yelled. I concentrated on summoning the power. The monster hit me while I was doing that, but it didn't hurt me too badly. "APOCOLYPSE!!" I screamed. The monster dropped dead.



Irvine.P.O.V



Holy Shit! Damn! I didn't know Rinoa could do that! Sorceresses sure are powerful. Seifer looks surprised too but nowhere near as surprised as the Messenger Girl or I am. Then again he was a Sorceresses Knight, so he must have seen magic like that a lot.

The Girl who looked stunned, walked up to Rinoa and said quietly, "Miss, are you the Captain of Squad B?" To which Rinoa nodded. "I have a message for you', she said. "All Squads are to return to either the Train, or Ragnarok. Squad B are to return to the Ragnarok at 1900 hours." I checked my watch for the time. "Thanks darlin'." I said to the girl, who was kinda cute. Nowhere near as cute as Selphie though. "Err, guys? 1900 hours is in 10 minutes!" I said calmly. Seifer groaned, "Oh. Shit, we better go."

We started heading for the door but it suddenly slammed shut. And locked.

"I hope you don't intend on going back to Garden." A female voice said.

"What the hell? Who said that?" Said Seifer.

"I said it."

"Let me guess, we are all trapped in a room with a sorceress whom we can't see! Hyne, can you just piss off! I'm so sick of you bloody witches!" Yelled Seifer

"Don't have a cow, Seifer. Of course I'm a sorceress, just like you suspect. And no, I will not piss off, so deal with it."

Rinoa stepped forward closer to the veil before she too joined in this conversation, "I too am a sorceress, so please tell me who you are and what do you want? Please let us go."

"I know, child. Unfortunately I can't let you all go. I need you. Little girl, the one brought the message, I don't need you, but relax, none of you will die."

I finally decided to speak up, "Look darlin', we're gonna go wether you like it or not."

"Don't make empty threats Irvine. I can see Seifer realizes there is no way out. We just have to wait. Wait til Quistis gets here."
