Disclaimer: I own nothing. It's a deeply saddening thought, I know. If I actually DID own this, I'd be rolling in the moneys! But I'm not; I'm poor and can't afford a PS2! Lol!
Author's Notes: IMPORTANT! I have revised the first chapter in attempt at making thing go slower, so please go back and read the first before going on! Thank ya muchly!
Chapter 2: Disaster
Squall and Rinoa entered the titanium doors that marked the Training Center and set out into the Jungle-like environment. They ran into a couple grats and bug bytes; nothing extremely dangerous and were barely out of breathe before they heard the news.
"Commander! Commander!" A 14-year-old Intermediate Classmen, Cynthia, came running up. She had black hair with thin purplish-red highlights that caught when the sun hit them, but were barely noticeable otherwise. He eyes were big and round and very brown. She was quite out of breath and paused only a few seconds before going on. "Sir, some of the female T- Rexaurs are acting up. It seems they are on heat and are rampaging throughout the Training Center! They're heading this way, sir! Kammy and I both said you should know!"
"Thank you, Cynthia. You did well. I'll tell your Instructor about this. You're doing us proud." Squall answered, saluting.
"What about Kameron?"
"I'll tell her Instructor, too." Squall nodded.
"Thanks, sir!" Cynthia smiled and saluted back, running off again.
"Should we be worried about this, Squall? That sounds sorta dangerous." Rinoa said, tugging on his sleeve.
"It is dangerous, but we'll have SeeD specialists rounding the female T-Rexaurs up in no time. All we have to do is go up to the office, and tell Cid, and Cid will put it over the intercom. There's nothing to worry about as long as we get out of here quickly to do so. Trust me." Squall said, grinning down at Rinoa.
"I trust you, Squall."
Then there came the sound of an unmistakable roar.
It was a T-Rexaur's growl.
"It's the T-Rexaurs! RUN!" Another Intermediate Classmen, Kameron, came sprinting around the corner. "Commander, Ms. Heartilly, RUN!" She shouted after passing them, and making her way to the exit.
But they didn't make it to the door.
All the female T-Rexaurs in the Training Center came stampeding around the corner. In the midst of all the pandemonium and chaos, the Sorceress was separated from her knight.
"Rinoa! Rinoa!" Squall cried out frantically as the dino-monsters ran all around him, churning up dust ands dirt, making it hard to see.
No answer.
Squall became desperate and finally the T-Rexaurs were past them and as he waited for the dust to settle, he could see Rinoa's crumpled and seemingly lifeless form on the ground. She had been hit with a T-Rexaur's tail.
"No. No. No. She can't be dead." He whispered frantically, running over to her. He leaned down and put his ear to her chest to listen for a heartbeat.
Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum.
She was alive! Squall sighed and said a silent prayer to Hyne as he brought himself to his knees to pick her up.
Her hair was in a tangle among a briar bush.
Squall got out his gunblade and cut her hair free, because it was the only thing he could do. Sure, her heart was still beating, but that didn't mean she wasn't hemorrhaging or something even less pleasant and in critical condition.
He gathered her in his strong arms and took her to the Infirmary as fast as they he could.
