Chapter 5

Disclaimer: I don't own FF8. Probably never will either.



Timber was in chaos. Groups of Galbadian SeeDs were roaming the streets, fighting anyone who got into their way.

"I have to find Zone and Watts Squall."

"Do you know where they'll be?"

"The only place I can think of is with Forest Fox. She would have given them someone to hide." Squall nodded.

"Squads one through six, secure the entrance to the town. Squads seven through ten, follow me. We'll secure the area surrounding the station."







The journey to Forest Fox's house was tough on Rinoa, but she wouldn't let on to Squall.

"He'll just say, I shouldn't be here because I'm not a SeeD."

"Are you okay, Rinoa?" Squall asked, knocking an enemy out with the handle of his gunblade.

"I'm just worried about Zone and Watts." She wasn't completely lying, she was worried about them.







"It's Rinoa, open up." Rinoa was banging on the door of Forest Fox's house, hoping that her friends were inside. The door was unlatched and the squad was let in.

"I'm glad to see you're all okay," said Forest Fox, trying to be cheerful.

"Zone, Watts. You're safe. I was so worried." Rinoa had noticed her two friends standing in the corner of the room and wasted no time in giving them both hugs.

"Rinoa, you shouldn't have come here. I gathered some intelligence, and you're not going to like it."

"What is it?" asked Squall.

"A bomb, sir. They planted a bomb."

"What, where?"

"In the pub, sir."

"Do you know how powerful it is?"

"Strong enough to blow up the whole town, sir."
