FINAL FANTASY VIII
By, Bru
"I will find you…I promise!" an image of a young boy said while standing on a porch in the rain.
As Squall woke up he noticed that it was only a dream. (Squall Leonhart, a 17 year old student at Balam Garden was known as the 'lone wolf.' Squall, holding many dark secrets of the past tries not to make many people care for him. He doesn't feel that people should worry about others as much as they do and that they should just worry about themselves.)
He wiped his eyes and looked at the clock.
"Oh no! I'm gonna be late!" he gasped while hurrying out of bed.
He dressed into his uniform and quickly headed toward class. Once he arrived he noticed that Quistis, his instructor hadn't arrived yet. (Quistis Trepe, a 19 year old Balam instructor is a member of SeeD, she was voted into SeeD at the age of 17, then at 18 she was ranked to instructor. She is a very kind woman, but don't get in her way when she is in battle. She has a thing for Squall, but she can't tell him because she is his instructor.)
As he sat down into his seat, a young man wearing a long, gray coat said, "Squall it's nice to see you didn't chicken out. Training will be even better today, you just wait and see."
Squall peered at him, "I would NEVER miss a fight Seifer, especially against you!" (Seifer Almasy, a 19 year old student at Balam Garden, and the head of the Discipline Committee, is a student who thinks of himself only. Fugin and Ragin are his best friends. They also make up the rest of the Discipline Committee. They agree with him, listen to him, and follow his every move. Seifer is one of those types that bring others down just to make himself look good. He likes to pick fights and cause trouble. After failing the SeeD test 2 times before, he's back to try once again. )
"Squall! Seifer! Enough!" Quistis commanded as she arrived, "You two take it easy! Training isn't supposed to cause wars with each other! Seifer you should know better
As they apologized Quistis reviewed the events of the day, "Training for today will be a bit shorter than usual. This is because of the SeeD test. After your training you are to report back to your dorms and get some rest. After an hour of rest you are to report back here. From here we will go to the main gate where the headmaster will give you your orders. This test, as you know, has two parts, the written test and the physical test. Seeing as though you all took the written test yesterday today's test is the second, and final test. This test is challenging, but those who use all their strength and wisdom will succeed. Your orders will be given to you by Headmaster Cid. After that the leader of your group is in total control. As of now that is all. You are now to start your daily training."
Training was Squalls favorite event of the day. This was because his partner was Seifer. Seifer always tried to start things, pick fights and give orders. Squall on the other hand, accepted Seifer's challenges. As they walked to the Training Center, Squall noticed a fellow student running up to meet them. Seifer immediately stopped him.
"Violation 150, running inside Balam Gardens when there is no emergency." he said with an arrogant smirk on his face, while handing the student a warning ticket.
"Just because you're a part of the Discipline Committee Seifer, it doesn't mean you're better than anyone else!" the student yelled as Seifer turned and began to walk away from him coldly.
Seifer jolted around as if a sudden cold wind had hit him, and replied, "What are you gonna do about it Zell? Huh…chicken wuss!" (Zell Dincht, a 17 year old student at Balam Garden is into boxing and fist combat. His grandfather was a martial arts wonder. He looks up to him with all of his heart. He has a tattoo on his face that sets him apart from everyone else. He has a short temper and gets mad when Seifer calls him 'chicken wuss.' He has a love for the school cafeteria's hot dogs.)
"That's it! Both of you stop right now! If you don't quit being like this I won't allow you to take the second test for SeeD!" Quistis said angrily.
After that there wasn't much talking. Once at the Training Center, they paired off into their assigned groups. As everyone else engaged in fighting, it seemed as though Squall and Seifer were in their own world. They both drew out their gun blades and tested each others skills. Seifer has enough of this 'childish training.' He sent a blasting ball of magic towards Squall. As it hit Squall, he flew back, letting go of his gun blade. As Squall rose to his knees his gun blade's sharp point stuck deep into the ground. He started to get to his feet when Seifer slashed the gun blade across Squall's face, leaving a mark of blood on the ground. As Squall looked up, with blood coming from his wound, he held onto the lion and dagger pendant on his necklace and peered into Seifer's eyes. Seifer smirked and then his face went cold. As Squall got to his feet he ran towards his gun blade. As the sound of metal being pulled out of the ground was heard, Squall jolted towards Seifer and struck him.
