Chapter 2
Fallen Hero
There was no time to lose, Rinoa and Quintis with no choice but to
drag the new cadet's along as they ran to the training centre.
In all her life Quintis could never break them up, always fighting to
prove something.
Rinoa had known Squall a little over two years and Seifer a little
longer and that she knew the friction and testosterone levels between
those two were high.
'Oh God I hope no one gets hurt' as she dashed down the corridor always
checking over her shoulder to make sure the cadet's were keeping up, but
with Quintis behind all the cadet's for re-insurance, took a lot of weight
off her shoulders.
The training arena entrance began to come into sight, and the corridors
virtually empty. The situation became more and more tense by the minute.
"Can you see him?" Quintis said in a curious tone gasping for breath.
"No, there's too many people, I can't see a thing" As the situation became
more frantic, Rinoa began to panic " Quintis can you stay here, I'll try and
get through the crowd and try and stop this before it gets out of hand" As
Rinoa began to push through the crowd.
"Ok I'll stay here"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Squall stood firm relenting to sure any sign of weakness with Lionheart raised,
ready to counter anything that Seifer threw at him 'One on one, no magic duel..why
don't I believe him'. On the other hand Seifer was tense, gripping his gunblade tight
as his soul began to fill with rage, for he had a point to prove...that he was better
then Squall.
The Fight continued, Seifer straight on the attack, swinging his gunblade directly
for Squall's right shoulder, with haste Squall blocks and counter swings but to
no avail as Seifer evades. The fight started to become more intense as Squall
swung into Seifer knocking him back and before he could regain his composure,
Squall swung again this time knocking him to the floor.
In an instant Seifer could see it all happening again....LOSING..losing to his
rival 'SQUALL...How?..How did it come to this?....we…we were equals' Seifer
couldn't do anything except with his glazed eyes stare at the ground 'I..I am Seifer Armsley, a KNIGHT! I can not lose..I will not' "LOSE!!!!" he screamed swinging his gunblade for Squall's chin as he rose to his feet. Squall eyes widened to the sight before him.
But Squall blocked in time, but was still knocked back by the power of the blow
'Damn I think he's really pissed off'
Rinoa could see from a distance the fight was going to get out of control and
started to shout at the top of her lungs begging them to stop, but it was in vein
as neither Squall or Seifer could hear her over the crowds cheering.
"Squall stop, for gods sakes stop this stupidity...Seifer you don't have to live up
to anyone's expectations…there are other ways to show your characteristics besides
fighting" screaming and waving her hands in the air, trying to stand out.
Seifer began his attack on Squall, swinging his gunblade left and right as fast and as
furiously as he could, but Squall managed to block and evade them all
"Now to end this!" Squall began his offensive with numerous swings, then hammered a blow at
Seifer, smashing him to the ground in an instant. Before he knew it, he could see the
repercussions of it all happening again, like when he was possessed by Edea '.No..Im
better then him...when I was possessed ..I was a failure...but now, me the true Seifer Armsly
not influenced or manipulated in anyway still losing to his hand'.
Fujin and Raijin couldn't take it anymore and without warning Fujin threw her pinwheel
directly at Squall's chest, but with cat like reflexes he flips back and whacks it out of
the way.
"Ya mess with one of us, ya mess with all of us" Raijin said in a cocky tone followed by
Fujin nodding in agreement catching the rebound of her pinwheel
Still lying on the ground, Seifer was trying to get control of him self, the situation
which was his life '..It wasn't always like this…once we were equals...equals...that word doesn't
seem to have any meaning in my life anymore...since we were kids we were equal rivals
deadlocked in battle...but since you've become a Seed...and met Rinoa your power, agility and
skill just seemed to keep growing...along with friends'
FLASHBACK
"Cry baby Zell" Seifer said pointing and laughing at Zell.
"You broke my..my toy train" while he sobbed grasping his toy which was now in pieces.
"Leave Zell alone"
"What ya ganna do about it if I don't...get Edea ha,ha,ha"
Squall ran at Seifer and punched him in the face as a fight started.
'Then almost two and a half years ago just outside Balamb Garden..this scar'
Squall on one knee with dust clearing from his eye's STRIKED by seifer's gunblade, and in squall's
relentless rage striked back at Seifer to break even.
'Then on the Seed mission to the tower...
When I left you there to fight those Galibadian twerps, then I heard you had to defeat an Elnoyle.
You defeated him then even when you only had thirty minutes to get back to the Seed vessel you did
while beating the crap out of a tin can Galibadian spider robot..How do you do it?..'
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile back at the main hall, Selphie was continuing to put up the decorations to the Ball that
was going to happen in a couple of weeks.
"Selphie..why are we having this ball for?" a young optimistic cadet said while passing a golden ribbon.
Selphie stopped what she was doing and said "Lets just say that Rinoa wanted it, it would mean a
great deal to her" as she returned to hanging the decorations.
With a puzzled look on his face he began to wonder 'If it's to do with Rinoa,.it most likely has
something to do with the commander...Birthday?..no...Festive holiday?..no.. Barmitva..God I hope not'
"Hay Selphie, the commander ain't Jewish is he?"
"Hell No...what ever gave you that idea?" with a humoured expression.
The cadet looked to the ground and replied "I don't no...I give up, what is this ball for?"
"If you must know, it's been three years since the commander became the commander, and this ball is to honour that" she replied.
As she finished hanging the decoration she had a sudden thought "Isn't Rinoa supposed to be helping
us with this, after all it is her idea"
"Do you want me to see if I can find her Selphie?" the young cadet said with a cheery voice.
"Nice try, but your not getting out of it that easily..I can't do this all by myself and any how
I'm sure she has got a good reason for being late, after all she's just attending to the new arrivals
...isn't she?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Raijin jumped and swung his staff to try and take out Squall's legs, but Squall performed a backflip
kicking Raijin in the chin and landing again to knock away a throw of Fujin's pinwheel.
"That's it" Raijin shouted in a angered tone " Time for my Special" Charging towards Squall.
Squall had to think fast, evasion or blocking was not an option...flipping back onto one knee he
grabbed in his right hand a handful of dirt and threw it into Raijin's eyes, blinding him.
"AHHHH!!!!...I can't see..." Raijin shouted "Of all the cheap ass dirty tricks"
"You should know" Squall muttered in a cocky manner.
Fujin could not take anymore of this mockery that the commander was inflicting on her friends so she
decided to even the score 'What goes around comes around' and the magic blind was cast at Squall
but to her surprise it did not work.
"Nice try, but I'm immune to alements of that kind" Squall said with a grin on his face.
After rubbing his bloodshot eyes clear of any dirt, Raijin picked up his staff gripping it tight and
with all his built up rage broke the rules and casted magic.
"Try this...ULTIMA!" In an instant the arena turned pitch black.
'What the hell is he thinking, there's a crowd of people that could get hurt...well it looks like
I've got no choice but to test it here'
A bright sphere of light magic with green smaller spheres floating in the atmosphere started to form
in front of Squall.
"Here goes" placing his left hand to his forehead to concentrate the magic "Shell". As his arm extended
towards the direction of the magic which Raijin had cast, a huge pink sphere enclosed the sphere of light. And with his right arm he pierced the ground with lionheart to support his weapon , now with his free arm, cast another magic
"Multi-protect". From one side to the other, row after row bright blue protect shields encircled every
crowd member.
"Can't hold it any longer " and with that his left arm fell beside now akin from the tremendous
force upon it as the pink sphere vanished and the ultima magic continued.
The bright sphere exploded igniting the smaller green sphere's then contracting to show it's full force
with a green mushroom shaped dome. It began to dart straight for Squall at a tremendous rate ripping through the ground launching parts at the crowd resulting in a cascade of reactions with the protect barriers.
As the green dome began to gain in pace and grow nearer and nearer, something snapped in Squall that had never happened before. A bright white and blue light started to emit from him, suddenly the dome hit but with no explosion...the light in Squall had absorbed it.
"How the hell you did you do that man?" Raijin paralysed in shock at what Squall had just done.
"REMARKABLE" the only word to escape Fujin's mouth.
Still paralysed with what was happening to him, regardless of what was going on around him, Seifer
was still trying to regain confidence in himself.
'Then you mocked me again..
On the float at Galabadia...'
"Well, this is how it turned out." said Seifer with a glint of satisfaction.
"So you've become the sorceress' lap dog?" trying to show sin in Seifer actions.
"I prefer to be called her knight..This has always been my dream." As he began to charge into Squall.
'And again'
During the Garden war, when the Garden's collided and you led a party in to kill the Sorceress...you
defeated me like I was nothing, even though I used my ultimate limit...Firecross.
'And even again.
On the Lunatic Pandora...Odin's power was a mere flicker compared to yours.
Your power and will, has become so immense that you even managed to overcome the greatest and most powerful of all beings...the sorceress Ultamicia...am I destined to be in second place till the
day I die?...well if there's one thing I've learnt from you is that your friends and loved ones make
you stronger so I'll do the same, become a true Knight and then we will see who's the dominant one'
Seifer rose to his feet with his gunblade in hand and a smile on his face.
"Yo whats up with this, your not even tired man" Raijin spoke in confusion.
"Why should I?..Ive not even had a challenge yet" Squall boasted.
Squall began to charge at Raijin to finish him off, Raijin panicked and raised his staff to block but the
power of the strike Lionheart gave sliced it into two and Raijin fell to the ground in fear as Squall
ducked from another one of Fujin's attacks with her pinwheel.
Suddenly Squall was struck to the ground by a tall figure also equipped with a gunblade from behind.
Regaining his stature Squall rose to his feet and stared the attacker straight in the eyes.
"Seifer..glad to see your back from your mental breakdown" still with a smile on his face.
"Still with the cocky attitude...time you got some new material" and with that Seifer began his attack
on Squall.
"Yo Seifer need any help man?"
"Not this time...He's mine!" letting his words sound his rage.
Fujin looked at Raijin as to give him the signal that the work is done and with that they left Seifer and
Squall to fight it out.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Rinoa saw Raijin and Fujin exit the fight and decided to try and seek help from them. Pushing her way through she finally caught up with Raijin and Fujin and tried to talk some sense into them
"Please, can't you see it's pointless to fight" but before she could finish Raijin buttered in
"What you mean pointless? Maybe to you but not to Seifer, he's teaching your boyfriend a thing or two about fighting and humiliation...AH!" he yelled
"What was that for Fujin?!"
"You men and your desire to keep up your matcho reps…she didn't mean who's going to win or lose, she's worried what could happen to either Squall or Seifer, if this gets out of hand...there's more friction between those two then a fish trying to swim on dry land" as she turned to face Rinoa.
"Yeah we need to end this quickly...why can't they just make peace?" with a look of curiosity on her face.
Raijin couldn't help but reply " There more chance of Irvine becoming gay " at that they all started to
laugh "Ha ha Ow!" as Fujin kicked Rijin in the leg again "What was that for?"
"Making light of an important situation" Fujin replied frowning.
Rinoa turned around to see Squall and to shout at him at the top of her lungs "SQUALL!..STOP,you don't have to do this" at that Squall stopped at spotted Rinoa.
'Rinoa' and with that distraction Seifer took his opportunity to strike, smack as Seifer punched him full blast rendering Squall to cover his right cheek with his right hand which Seifer hit.
Fuelled with rage Squall decided to end this conflict "Renzakoken!", Squall charged to deliver his limit move Lionheart. In that instant Seifer also decided to give it his all "Firecross" and then their moves collided, forcing them apart in a big explosion. The crowd stood silent and with shock at what just took place.
Squall was the first to regain conciseness, standing then turning his head to look at Rinoa with a smile on his face which she replied with a smile of relief and one hand on her heart. With that the crowd exploded in an uproar of cheering "Yeah Squall".."Squall rules".."Way to go commander" but they cheered too soon as Seifer began to stand with his Coat torn to shreds and an angered look on his face "LIONHEART!..dodge this" and with that as Squall turned to face his undefeated opponent Seifer cast a barrage of thunders, wave after wave.
'Doesn't he ever give up?' as Squall charged through the thunder with all his agility.
"Yahh!!"..whack, stricken back by Squall's slash, Seifer was hurled into Raijin and Fujin as they crashed to the ground.
'I hate to admit it, but Seifer has gotten better..' he thought to himself while limping his way to Rinoa.
"Are you all right?" Rinoa exclaimed with concern.
"Yeah, I'll be fine " Squall spoke softly hiding the pain which emanated in his ankle.
Just then two energetic people started to push there way through the crowd towards Squall and Rinoa at a high speed like a runaway frate train.
"Yo man, you kicked ass" Zell shouted with excitement.
Irvine just smiled to show his approval, but Rinoa showed Zell and Irvine a cold glare to stop them encouraging Squall.
Irvine took the hint but as for Zell...
"Make way!...Champ coming through!"
By the time they made it over to Quintis and the cadets, Zell stopped shouting, the expression on her face said it all.
"I think this is the part were I shut up" backing off slowly while grabbing Irvine as they turned and ran down the corridor.
Still with the look that could stop an army in its tracks, Quintis muttered the words "Have fun?" not relinquishing her cold gaze.
Squall just looked at Rinoa then back at Quintis and replied "Not as much as the crowds did" at this Rinoa started to laugh.
Quintis had noticed ever since the day Squall met Rinoa that he was changing...but for the better or for the worse, he had become more happier yet he began to neglect his work
"Don't you have somewhere to be Rinoa?"
Suddenly she stopped laughing in realisation to what Quintis had just said
"Oh yeah...See you later Squall" turning around and then escorting the Seed's to there rooms, but as they left one of the new cadets shouted
"You Rocked!"
The comment had brought a smile to his face but just made the situation worse.
" Ahem Squall, you are the commander...don't you some work to do?" as Quintis began tapping her note board against her leg.
"Ok Ok I'll see to the loose ends..any thing else?"as he began to walk away.
"Yeah...after you done in your office Xu said she needed to see you" with a wicked grin on her face
Raising his right arm to head
"What now" then carrying on down the corridor.

Squall just looked at Rinoa then back at Quintis and replied "Not as much as the crowds did" at this Rinoa started to laugh.
Quintis had noticed ever since the day Squall met Rinoa that he was changing...but for the better or for the worse, he had become more happier yet he began to neglect his work
"Don't you have somewhere to be Rinoa?"
Suddenly she stopped laughing in realisation to what Quintis had just said
"Oh yeah...See you later Squall" turning around and then escorting the Seed's to there rooms, but as they left one of the new cadets shouted
"You Rocked!"
The comment had brought a smile to his face but just made the situation worse.
" Ahem Squall, you are the commander...don't you some work to do?" as Quintis began tapping her note board against her leg.
"Ok Ok I'll see to the loose ends..any thing else?"as he began to walk away.
"Yeah...after you done in your office Xu said she needed to see you" with a wicked grin on her face
Raising his right arm to head
"What now" then carrying on down the corridor.
