Chapter 4
I still don't own Final Fantasy. Oh Well.
"Tell me everything you know about these people," Squall requested.
"They like fighting. It's what they live for. They became disillusioned after the sorceress was defeated and there was no more war. I guess they became bored sat around in Garden, waiting for a mission to come up. When Seifer and the sorceress were at Galbadia Garden, they retrained the SeeDs to believe that fighting was their destiny, as was destroying everything in their path."
"Do you want us to kill them?"
"If possible, no. They were indoctrinated once, who says it can't be done again."
"If we're not allowed to kill them, how do you expect us to be able to stop them?"
"I'm not a fool. I know that some fatalities are inevitable. However, I believe that if you kill their leader, they will stop fighting."
"Tell me about this leader."
"His name is Lukaan. He was a protégée of Seifer's. He admired him and looked up to him, believed every word he said. He even fights with the same Hyperion as Seifer. The students believe that he is a great and strong leader. Many of them are willing to die for him."
"Do you know where they're heading?"
"As far as I can tell, their first target is Timber. They have a great hatred for the many resistance groups that tried to free Timber."
"Then that's where we'll head."
"Rinoa. I know I can't force you to do this, but would you be willing to go and stay with your father?"
"What? Why would you ask me to do that? I hate that man?"
"You may be in danger here."
"Why?"
"A group of students have taken over Galbadia Garden. They really hate the Timber resistance groups and I think you might be in danger. What if I can't protect you? Your father has the whole of the Galbadian military at his disposal. You'll be safe there."
"Squall. Why do you think that you can't protect me? I want to be here with you. I trust you. I'm staying." Rinoa walked across the room and threw her arms around Squall. "I'm never leaving you."
"Can Commander Leonhart please come to the bridge?"
Squall entered the elevator and rode up to the bridge.
"What is it Nida?"
"We're approaching Timber and have made visual contact with Galbadia Garden, sir."
"Have they started the invasion on Timber?"
"It would appear so, sir."
"Then let's prepare for battle."
Squall was standing at the front gate of Garden surrounded by about a hundred or so SeeDs, all divided into squads. As he was about to order the attack, he saw Rinoa running towards him, armed with her shooting star.
"I'm coming too."
"Rinoa, I can't risk you getting hurt."
"But Zone and Watts are there. They're my friends and I can't just sit here and watch as other people fight for Timber. That's what I'm supposed to do."
"Fine, as long as you stay close to me." Rinoa smiled at those words. The words that had started it all off, so long ago in Deling City.
"All squads, attack."
