The Princess and the Sorceress
Chapter 5
Violent Wave
I don't own any of the characters, Squaresoft do. So there :p
Lava flowed through the whole of the Fire cavern, making the temperature within almost unbearable.
BANG
A young man was fighting monsters. He had long blonde hair which was tied back and wore a jacket donning the emblem of Balamb garden.
"You stupid monsters won't get the better of me!" Seifer thought.
He sliced through 3 Bombs in one slice.
"I must become stronger! I must prove that I'm better than Squall."
Sweat ran down his cheek. He grinned and took of his coat.
"Alright! If any monsters damage my coat I will kill them!" he said as he cast the article of clothing aside.
He turned to his left and shot 2 Red Bats consecutively.
"But then again, I'm going to kill you all anyway."

The whole plain was completely empty. It was silent except for the soft whispering of wind. Selphie trudged along searching desperately for any signs of Irvine. After walking for about an hour she saw something in the distance.
"Irvine!!" she shouted.
As she ran towards the object she noticed that there were many corpses on the ground, both monsters and SeeD alike.
When she got closer she could she that it was a SeeD. He was propped up against a rock and there was a trail of blood leading to where he had obviously crawled from. Selphie bobbed down next to him. He appeared to be barely breathing.
"Irvine? Where is Irvine?" she asked.
The fallen warrior slowly looked up.
"Ir . . . he's . . . gone" he gasped.
"What?!! He can't be!! No!!"
"No . . . escaped . . ."
"Oh okay. Thank you for telling me. Come on, let's get you back to the ships." Selphie said as she leant over to pick him up.
"No . . . too . . . late . . . me" he said before his slumped to the ground.
Selphie looked at him unhappily and then continued her search. She walked for a few more minutes and then saw something jumping across the ground, being carried by the wind. She ran over and stopped it with her foot. She looked down at what she had found. It was a black hat.

The proud warrior strode back into Balamb. He walked to his apartment and collected some items. Then he walked down to the pier, rod and tackle box in hand.
He sat down and made himself comfortable. As he sat there he heard much conversation between people walking by.
"How's your young Thomas now?"
"I've heard Jim is closing down shop soon."
"Pretty hot this time of year."
"My feet hurt"
After some time he heard something that woke him up out of his dreamy state.
"That Garden up the road, they've got problems don't they?"
"Yeah I know. They've had to send people down to Esthar, didn't come back too I heard"
"And then there's that trouble in Timber. Invasion of Galbadia."
"Hope my cousin's alright, he lives up there."
Seifer stood up and turned to the two people talking.
"What's going on in Timber?"
"Oh Galbadia is invading it again. Probably want to just station soldiers and give everyone a scare."
Seifer grabbed his belongings and dashed to his apartment. He was only in there for a few minutes and whe nhe came out he ran to the train station.

The 2 SeeD ships cruised along through the ocean at a very fast speed. Its destination was Timber. Inside the ship, Xu was explaining the mission.
"Our objective in this mission is to repel enemy Galbadian troops in Timber. They are coming in from the mountains so we will have to protect the western gate. The other squad will be protecting the northern gate. Also, any students will be marked on their performance on this mission. Any questions?"
"Yeah. Will this mission will get us, like, an instant pass? Raijin asked.
Fujin turned and punched Raijin in the arm.
"Raijin, I don't think I need to stress the importance of this mission. Timber has long been an important supplier to Balamb. If Galbadia completely takes Timber we would need to buy supplies elsewhere at a higher cost."
Raijin leant back into his chair, rubbing his bruised arm. The SeeD ship sailed on.
* * *
Squall was feeling anxious. Squall, Rinoa, Watts and a few guards were waiting at the northern gate.
"Where do you think they are Sir?" Watts asked.
"I don't know " Squall answered "They seem to be planning something. They might be waiting for more troops, or they might be waiting for us to come out."
"Either way, we're ready for them." Rinoa chimed in.
"Sir, I don't think it's wise to stand out in the open here. Maybe we should find a place to ambush them."
"Alright Watts. Okay you guys we're going to head into the town."
The guards nodded and followed the group into the town. They made their way to the hotel.
"Excuse me" Rinoa said "May we wait here until the Galbadians arrive?"
"Certainly. Anything to help the cause" the lady said and winked.
Watts went to sit down while the guards stayed looking out the window. Squall turned to Rinoa.
"Okay Rinoa, I want you to stay by me at all times."
"Oh Squall, that's so sweet" Rinoa said
"I just don't want to lose you. Things might get hectic out there."
Rinoa leant her head on Squalls shoulder.
"Do you think we'll be alright?"
"Of course we will. I know it"
"Oh Squall, I feel so safe around you."
Squall said nothing and just thought about the time they had right now.
* * *
"The President will now see you"
"Of the President will see me, he has no choice."
Kiros walked into the room. Laguna was sitting down and Ward was standing nearby.
"Yes Kiros? What is it?" Laguna said. His face looked very drawn and he had obiously not had much sleep lately.
"The monsters are starting to move towards the city. We will need to prepare defences."
"Okay, see to it then. What about the SeeDs?"
"We have not heard from them for 6 hours now."
Laguna sighed and walked over to his desk.
"Please get Ellone to come here. She should be at Doc. Odines place"
Kiros nodded and walked out of the room. Ward followed him.
"What the heck is going on?" Laguna said to himself.
Deep within the earth there was a rumbling.

Chapter 5 done. Not too great but I need to lead up to things. Thanks for all the reviewers. If I get a few it inspires me to do the next chapter. If it weren't for you this story wouldn't be getting done! And if you think that I can write half-decent, then you should read a Rinoa Leonhart73 story. They're decent. Very decent. Also please tell me which 'GF' you think I should use as a major character. A: Ifrit B: Diablos C: Brothers D: Gilgamesh -_~ BTW: The reason I chose these GFs is because I feel I would be able to include them better. I will however put some others in along the way.
