I might be wrong
Chapter 6-The extraction mission.
"Will the following SeeDs please report to the headmaster's office immediately: Zell Dincht, Quistis Trepe, and Selphie Tilmitt. That is Zell Dincht, Quistis Trepe and Selphie Tilmitt to report to the headmaster."
Quistis put down the book she was reading and looked up, hearing Squall's monotone voice echoing through Garden. She stood from her seat and carried her book over to the library counter, where an assistant was waiting. "Hello Ms Trepe, may I help you?" The young girl said happily. "Yes, could you put this by for me until I come back please Isobel. I need to see Commander Leonhart." The girl nodded and took the large hardback book from Quistis's hands. "Thank you very much. I'll probably pick it up later today if I can. I'll see you then." Isobel finished writing down her name on a bit of card attached to the book, looked up and smiled. "Okay. Bye Ms Trepe." Quistis nodded in acknowledgement and walked away from the library.
While walking, Quistis spotted a familiar blond man ahead of her. "Zell!" She called. He turned at his name being called and jogged over to her. "Oh hey Quistis. Any idea why Squall wants to see us?" He asked. "No none. Maybe a mission." She suggested. "Yeah, could be."
They continued to the office in silence, and when they entered, Both Squall and Selphie were already stood at Cid's desk. "Ah good to see you both."
"You called for us Sir?" Said Zell.
"Yes," he said with a sigh, slumping deep into his leather chair, "it's on a rather important mission, and you four are of the best SeeDs I have and as Rinoa and Irvine are already away on the mission to Timber, you are the only ones." Cid paused, sipping his coffee. "There was a mission, about a month ago where I sent three SeeDs to extract a Deling politician from the custody of an unknown rebel faction who are currently working on sabotaging the Galbadian government. Kidnapping this particular man was a step up from their plan. Infiltrating their base and finding out their plans was also part of the mission. The SeeDs in question are Korben McKay, Warren Atkins, and Seifer Almasy. The mission went well as far as I know, but we got word from Mr Almasy a few minutes ago saying they had been ambushed on the train home, and are being held captive by a group of followers of the late sorceress Ultimecia, The Alaudae. From our logic, we think they are still bitter over her death and are seeking revenge in not only SeeD, but Ultimecia's former knight, Seifer Almasy."
Zell took a step toward the middle-aged man, and placed his hands firmly on the desk, and leaned in toward his face. "So this is a rescue mission I take it?"
"Yes Zell, you are indeed correct." Zell sniggered. "Saving Almasy's sorry ass? I don't think so!"
"So what are we up against?" Said Squall ignoring Zell's petty protests.
"Well," he said with a sigh "they are accomplished in the dark arts, their battle techniques and magic are very much similar to that of Ultimecia. According to our records, 30 members are currently working in Galbadia alone. I'm thinking this group are those that are hiding our SeeDs."
"Do you know where they are?" Selphie said.
"Yes we do. At the moment they are travelling on a train along the coast of Timber, near Mandy Beach. The Ragnorock is waiting at the South Gate. The navigator aboard will guide you to your position. Selphie, I wish for you to pilot the ship. Now go quickly, and be weary, you don't know what they are capable of. Dismissed."
The SeeDs gave their headmaster a salute and walked out to the waiting ship. Quistis spoke nothing, and was in a mild state of shock. She felt it was a cruel twist of fate that he had gone at such a time when they had left their conversation on such a bad note. She had things to say, and was now afraid that she was never going to be able to, and that Seifer may die thinking that she hating him, and thought of him as a failure, as the reject compared to Squall. She knew it herself as not to be true. 'Oh Seifer please don't die, there's so much I need to say to you.'

…Sorry everyone for the delay. Cursed exams!!! This is quite short I know, and perhaps a bit boring, but it's just a sort of bridge between the last chapter and the next, if you know what I mean. Thanks for your nice reviews *sniff sniff* Anyway, enjoy, and R+R! J oh and by the way, there's been some kind of mix up between chapter 1 + 2, so if you haven't read the first 2 chapters, read the 2nd one first. And if anyone knows how to sort this out, I'd be EXTREMLY grateful.
