Special Note: Yes the Lucky Charms crack was to the story Trading Spaces. That author CuteMooglez, I owe you a thanks. And Uh hope your not offended. http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=1020435
Disclaimer I do not FF 8.
Bobby paces around in circles around Cid's old office. Ellone ran to get Edea since Edea was out for the day, Ellone said she'd be back in a few minutes. Still she was not fast enough for Bobby. Why in the hell couldn't Ellone just send her to go to Edea? Time was running out for everyone at this school. She had to see Edea now. Time was of the essence, and one fuck up and all there lives will be lost.
Frustrated she runs her hand through her hair and growls. The door clicks and slowly opens. Her body stiffens and Bobby awaits the presence of Edea. Who looked tired and ready to collapse, the death of her husband taking it's toll.
"You wanted to speak to me Bobby?" Edea asks sweetly trying to hide her sadness.
"Yes, I'm afraid Alana will attack soon." Bobby responds.
"Do you got any proof?"
"IT was simple to get Squall away. Either he's pretending, or she'll be pissed he escaped. History repeats it self, wouldn't you have gone after your knight if dad captured him back in the day?" Bobby pauses. "And if Seifer wasn't an ass before he met you, wouldn't you have had him bluff them?"
"Seifer wasn't an ass Bobby, he was a young man that believed in following his heart." Edea corrects. "And you area also right. We should get prepared right now for what is about to come. Alana will be pissed... Bobby, can I trust you to talk to Seifer?"
Bobby salutes and runs off. Edea sighs and looks after Bobby. If Squall one day Squall had to take her spot, she'd want Bobby in Squall's possession. She would be a good second in command. Obedient, thoughtful, and never questioned orders... Well, most of the time. Thoughtfully she looks up as Ellone enters the school.
"Anything I can do?"
"Not unless you can prepare a lot of SeeD's to die."
"If I cou-"
"Don't Ellone." Edea warns. "You did enough already, continue and you might totally fuck up the world we live in."
"Yes, I know... I'm sorry Edea."
"It's okay Ellone. You'll learn one day, your still young yet."
Ellone raises an eye brow. "Edea I'm not THAT young you know."
Edea chuckles for the first time since her husbands death. It was so funny to see how Ellone reacted. Edea's face suddenly shrunk back to serious.
"Ellone, I'm going to call up Xu and Nida."
"Why?"
"If were going to fight Alana, we might as well face her head on."
"I don't think the people of Tears Point will like us flying by, do you?"
"Nope, but we have no choice."
****
The sunlight faded slowly into the ocean as night began to drape its loving arms over the land. The last of the golden rays faded as a woman's angered scream pierced the serenity of the changing land.
"SQUALL!!!!!!!!!!!" Alana screamed out as she searched the empty chamber where she had left his badly battered body.
Her power flooded the area reaching out for him like deadly talons. She reached out with her senses but could not feel him anywhere. Angrily she tore the draperies back from the windows and noticed what she had over looked when she had left him.
A trail of blood stained the floor where he had been laying. She knelt down to the floor and pressed her fingers to the small sticky pools.
The blood was cooling but it could still help her find him. She looked at the small trail of droplets that led to the window. She held her fingers up to her mouth and licked the blood tasting Squall's very life force.
"Dante," she called out with her mind, "Dante come to me and bring your beasts. There is blood to track."
She sat on a single chair as she felt the presence of many beings gathering out side of the chamber. The baying of wolves was heard as a man approached the smashed doors.
He was clothed in a long black cloak. His ebony hair cascaded in rich curls touching his shoulders. His eye's burned like a pure sapphire the light reflecting in them. His skin was pale as the snow, his movements almost feline. He was a lithe man but very deadly. He moved to Alana's feet and bowed before her. Behind him followed a pack of black wolves.
"Ah Dante how good of you to have come so hastily," she purred as she held out her hand to him.
"It is always a great honor my lady to be at your service," he grasped her hand placing a feather soft kiss upon it. He grinned flashing an ever so small glimpse of what appeared to be fangs.
"Dante I want you to track someone," she motioned towards the blood on the floor, " the blood is still somewhat warm I want you to take your beasts and call a blood hunt for a certain man. Can you do it?"
"Yes, my lady my wolves and I will hunt this man down and bring you his heart."
"NO, no I want him alive."
"Yes, my lady," he kissed her hand and made his way to the door.
"And Dante, do not fail me or you and your beasts will suffer like all the others."
He bowed his head, " do not fear my lady I will not fail you."
"Do not promise what you cannot keep Dante."
He turned to the blood and held his lips to the small pool. His tongue snaked out and lapped the blood. The wolves gathered around him tasting it off his lips smelling it. Dante reared his head back and emitted a deep long howl. The wolves joining in. and so it began the hunt was on.
****
The training center was quiet. Nothing stirred around, it was something that happened when trouble neared the school. The monsters always hid. They were not dumb creatures, not in the least. Seifer growls and plops down by the training area pond. He was bored, and tired, but he didn't want sleep he needed to kill something.
Snap! Something behind him snapped a twig. Seifer launches to his feet and raises his gunblade ready to cut down the creature.
"Shit! Down Seifer down." Bobby raises her hands. "I'm just hear to talk to you. Not get killed by you."
"Damn." Seifer looked disappointed.
Bobby fires off a shot and it ricochet by Seifer's feet. He yelps and falls back wards, making a nice splash into the pond. Seifer spits out water like a fountain and glares at the kid who stood before him with a smirk on her face.
"Evil, now what did you want to talk about." Seifer says pulling himself out of the muck.
"Alana will be attacking this school soon. In short, your wife and son can stay here, there welcome to, but when push comes to shove, your wife may need to fight." Bobby starts. "We need to know if you well enough to fight."
"I'm Seifer Almsy, the best fucking fighter in this school! Don't ask me if I'm ready to fight." Seifer snapped as if he as attacked verbally.
Bobby cringes having worded that wrong. "Whatever."
Seifer sighs. "Great, now you sound just like Squall."
"Well good, then maybe you'll stop mopping around and act like your stronger then what your really are."
"I'm not mopping woman, and I'm not weak."
Seifer opens his mouth to further the argument but a shrill noise announced an announcement rang through the air. Bobby and Seifer perk up in attention. Ready to hear the words that are about to be spoken.
"Attention please. This is Edea, will Xu and Nida please report to the bridge. And to everyone the school will be moving soon. Be prepared." The voice shrieks over the loud speaker, then pauses to let it all sink in. "That is all."
With a click and a thump the announcement was over.
"Wow the school hasn't moved in a long time."
"Yeah, last time you were only a baby Bobby. In short this means it's not good."
Bobby looks at Seifer. Gone was his look of hurt dignity. It was replaced by a look of sheer terror. Glancing at her watch she realizes she been in here with Seifer for over 10 minutes without a siting of a monster. First time she noticed the lack of life. Seifer looks at her now with an angry look.
"They know that bastard Squall is back. Meaning everyone on this blasted flying school is as good as dead."
"Seifer don't say that." Bobby snaps.
With a growl Seifer grabs Bobby's arm and drags her along. She was a pain in the ass like her parents, but she was still useful. Still what wouldn't give for his usual buddies. Rajin and Fugin would be able to help him on this. Seifer stops, and promptly Bobby runs into him.
"Bobby would you know how to get hold of two people, there married, Rajin and Fugin, without using the schools main communication."
"No."
Seifer stares at Bobby.
"Yes."
"Can you get them?"
I'll try... Err I will."
"Good." Seifer scratches the back of his head. "So were are we headed?"
Bobby sighs. "Second floor balcony. Better reception, not to mention couldn't risk it getting broken or taken away."
****
It didn't take Dante very long to pick up the scent of Squall's blood. The pack trailed Dante as he ran across the white wasteland. The snow glowed in the light of the full moon as the pack ran behind him. The excitement of the hunt ran wild threw the air as the wolves bayed. The scent was strong but would not linger long with the snow.
One of the wolves caught up with Dante and nipped at his feet in excitement. They had picked up the scent now and it was strong. Dante scanned the ground as he ran then he saw it. Blood.
The scent was strong and he stopped and knelt over the now frozen pool. Lifting a hand full of the blood-covered snow in his hands, he tasted it. A black muzzled appeared next to his face smelling and whining.
"You smell it too don't you?" he looked at the amber eyes of one of the pack males. The large wolf yipped and nuzzled at Dante's hand. He scratched the beast's head and turned to the pack. They all crawled around him nuzzling his legs whining. He was their alpha, the pack leader, and they were excited.
"Fenrir come here," he called to one of the larger males. The large wolf made his way to Dante and nuzzled his hand licking Dante's fingers. Dante pulled a sheet of parchment from his cloak and wrote something on it. He looked the great beast in the eye.
"Fenrir I want you to take this to Alana. Take this to her and lead her to us. Follow the pack's scent and lead her to her prize. Do not fail me Fenrir or I will punish you and feed you to the pack."
The wolf gave a low growl and whined. Dante slid the note into the wolfs mouth and stood up. He looked at the rest of the pack then down to Fenrir.
"Go now and be hasty. Tomarrow we hunt and feast on fresh blood."
The wolves barked and yipped. If they were quick, Dante would reward them with a large kill.
****
Squall woke to the announcement and found himself leaning on something warm, and himself wrapped up tightly like a baby. On further investigation he finds his dads arms still tightly wrapped around him. A brief smile crosses his face. It was nice to know his dad cared.
"Dad you mind." Squall growls like his same old self.
Laguna didn't respond his soft snore still vibrated through the room. Squall twists a little more.
"Dad!"
Estrella walks into the room holding a tray of Lucky Charms. Squall looks at her pleading behind his cool mask to free himself from his cocoon. She laughs to herself as she slides the tray unto the table. The room jerks and Laguna jerks awake falling off the bed face first.
"Guess the schools moving now."
"Whatever." Squall frees himself.
Laguna rights himself and looks at Squall with a smile on his face. Squall ignores him and moves to a sitting position. She brings a bowl over to Squall.
"Hope you like lucky charms."
"I'm allergic." Squall says pushing it away. "I don't want to go into what happened one time either."
Laguna smiles, "Bet Selphie remembers."
Laguna and Squall chuckles. Estrella looks nervous and backs for the door.
"I'll go hunt down some hotdogs if the Zell kid didn't eat them all."
****
Alana paced her chamber. It had been more then three nights since she had sent her tracker out for Squall and still no word. She was growing impatient, how far could Squall have gotten with injuries that bad? She sighed and looked out of the large window at the snow. She let her power roll over the land trying to detect him. It was no use she couldn't feel him. Her power rolled like water over her land. She began to withdraw it when she felt something. She looked in the direction of where she had sensed the presence and made out the lone black figure of one of the beasts.
Fenrir ran gracefully across the snow and threw the main gates of Alana's castle. He trotted up the steps to her chambers where he slowed to a crawl. He whined and crawled across the floor so low that his belly dragged, tail between his legs in a sign of submission. She looked at him with her cruel eyes and knelt to him.
"Tell me beast what news have you brought me? Where is your master?"
The great wolf whined and she stroked his face. He dropped the note at her feet and rolled over. She read the contents and looked at the wolf.
"Go, leave me and tell you master if I do not have my knight by dawn of next day I will have his heart as well as the pack's heads. Go now beast."
Fenrir yipped and ran at full speed to rejoin with the pack. He would hunt and share blood with them.
****
"So three hot dogs is all you have left?" Estrella asks disappointed.
"Yes, ma'am we have a set amount only in a day."
"Then I'll take them I guess."
Estrella pays for the hotdogs and turns to face a very angry Zell. He snorts like an angry bull and snatches the hotdogs from her.
"Mine." He says like a child.
Estrella swipes them back. "Excuse me young sir, you didn't get here fast enough it's your problem."
"But I want hotdogs!" Zell whines like a child.
"Don't make me tell your wife." Estrella warns like a stern mother. "Don't make me make her stop this school and kick you off."
Zell suddenly shuts up.
Estrella smiles and walks by. Zell JR walks up to Zell and kicks him in the shins.
"OW! What did you do that for!?" Zell hollers.
"Cause she forgot to." Zell JR laughs.
****
Dawn was approaching as the wolves rested under the safety of the trees. Dante leaned against the trunk of a fallen tree when he heard a familiar howl. The wolves pricked their ears up and raised their heads. Voices calling out as one answering the haunting cry of the lone wolf. Dante stood and walked over to the clearing and there he spotted Fenrir.
"Fenrir," he called out getting the beasts attention, "Fenrir come, join us brother, feast and rest. We are close now."
Fenrir ran to Dante and nuzzled his hand. Dante was his alpha, and he was home. He trotted over to the freshly killed carcass of a chocobo. The bird's eyes were glazed over and its entrails were leaking out of its abdomen. The smell of blood was rich and intoxicating. Dante walked over to the dead bird all eyes of the pack on him.
"My children, brothers, sisters, our brother Fenrir has returned. Feast now for by nights end we will have hunted down our prey." He threw his head back and howled. His howl was not that of a man's voice but more beast rather then man. The pack's chorus grew as Dante howled. They were one.
Dante got to his knees and dug into the entrains. He pulled at the raw meat of the chocobo. Fenrir licked his, face his lips. The warmth of the now gutted bird was pleasurable as Dante fed. Licking the blood off his fingers, he lapped at the inside of the chocobo drinking its blood. The blood warmed him. He was full now his eye's drunk with sheer ecstasy of it all. The wolves lie around the now almost cleanly picked remains. They rested Dante's eyes heavy with sleep.
By mid day the pack was fully re-energized. They continued following the trail but something wasn't right. Dante sniffed the air. The scent had changed. It had changed direction. He looked ahead to where the scent was strongest. That's when he spotted it. The Garden. The scent came from the Garden. He smiled, his fangs glistening still stained pink from the blood.
"All to easy", he muttered to himself and ran full speed towards the mighty structure.
****
On the balcony, Irvine sat among a pile of his guns. Bobby sat across from him. Both blind folded. Bobby's hands moved gracefully over her rifle as she snapped the pieces back together. Her father moved in time with her as they both raced to see who would put the weapon together the fastest.
"Done" they both shouted to each other simultaneously.
Irvine lifted his blind fold and looked at Bobby do the same. He smiled. His daughter impressed him greatly. Not so long ago he remembered changing her diaper and showing her how to properly hold a rifle. However, that was long ago she was now almost grown and was a great if not better then himself.
"Impressive Bobby, yer pretty fast. I remember not to long ago I had ya beat in no time." Irvine chuckled.
"Yeah well time's changing dad." She smiled at him picking up her rifle and wiping it over with a soft rag when suddenly Irvine pointed out to the snow.
"What's that over there?" he asked getting up. Bobby turned her head and strained to see she held her rifle up and looked threw the scope. She spotted figures moving across the snow towards them.
"Talk to me Bobby," Irvine said as he grabbed his rifle to fix his sites on the moving target.
"Man, and I'd say 7 or 8 wolves maybe 60 no 70 clicks from here. Dad I think we have company," she said as she turned to look at Irvine.
"Best go alert Edea. I'll go gather you mother and sisters."
Bobby turned and strided back inside sliding the strap of her rifle over her head.
"Bobby," Irvine called out to her as she ran towards the elevator. She turned, " you be careful ya hear me. Alert Edea and come find me."
"Sure thing dad," she got into the elevator.
"Hyne help us if that witch finds squall" Irvine whispered to himself. As he ran to find Selphie.

"I'm allergic." Squall says pushing it away. "I don't want to go into what happened one time either."
Laguna smiles, "Bet Selphie remembers."
Laguna and Squall chuckles. Estrella looks nervous and backs for the door.
"I'll go hunt down some hotdogs if the Zell kid didn't eat them all."

Alana paced her chamber. It had been more then three nights since she had sent her tracker out for Squall and still no word. She was growing impatient, how far could Squall have gotten with injuries that bad? She sighed and looked out of the large window at the snow. She let her power roll over the land trying to detect him. It was no use she couldn't feel him. Her power rolled like water over her land. She began to withdraw it when she felt something. She looked in the direction of where she had sensed the presence and made out the lone black figure of one of the beasts.
Fenrir ran gracefully across the snow and threw the main gates of Alana's castle. He trotted up the steps to her chambers where he slowed to a crawl. He whined and crawled across the floor so low that his belly dragged, tail between his legs in a sign of submission. She looked at him with her cruel eyes and knelt to him.
"Tell me beast what news have you brought me? Where is your master?"
The great wolf whined and she stroked his face. He dropped the note at her feet and rolled over. She read the contents and looked at the wolf.
"Go, leave me and tell you master if I do not have my knight by dawn of next day I will have his heart as well as the pack's heads. Go now beast."
Fenrir yipped and ran at full speed to rejoin with the pack. He would hunt and share blood with them.

"So three hot dogs is all you have left?" Estrella asks disappointed.
"Yes, ma'am we have a set amount only in a day."
"Then I'll take them I guess."
Estrella pays for the hotdogs and turns to face a very angry Zell. He snorts like an angry bull and snatches the hotdogs from her.
"Mine." He says like a child.
Estrella swipes them back. "Excuse me young sir, you didn't get here fast enough it's your problem."
"But I want hotdogs!" Zell whines like a child.
"Don't make me tell your wife." Estrella warns like a stern mother. "Don't make me make her stop this school and kick you off."
Zell suddenly shuts up.
Estrella smiles and walks by. Zell JR walks up to Zell and kicks him in the shins.
"OW! What did you do that for!?" Zell hollers.
"Cause she forgot to." Zell JR laughs.

Dawn was approaching as the wolves rested under the safety of the trees. Dante leaned against the trunk of a fallen tree when he heard a familiar howl. The wolves pricked their ears up and raised their heads. Voices calling out as one answering the haunting cry of the lone wolf. Dante stood and walked over to the clearing and there he spotted Fenrir.
"Fenrir," he called out getting the beasts attention, "Fenrir come, join us brother, feast and rest. We are close now."
Fenrir ran to Dante and nuzzled his hand. Dante was his alpha, and he was home. He trotted over to the freshly killed carcass of a chocobo. The bird's eyes were glazed over and its entrails were leaking out of its abdomen. The smell of blood was rich and intoxicating. Dante walked over to the dead bird all eyes of the pack on him.
"My children, brothers, sisters, our brother Fenrir has returned. Feast now for by nights end we will have hunted down our prey." He threw his head back and howled. His howl was not that of a man's voice but more beast rather then man. The pack's chorus grew as Dante howled. They were one.
Dante got to his knees and dug into the entrains. He pulled at the raw meat of the chocobo. Fenrir licked his, face his lips. The warmth of the now gutted bird was pleasurable as Dante fed. Licking the blood off his fingers, he lapped at the inside of the chocobo drinking its blood. The blood warmed him. He was full now his eye's drunk with sheer ecstasy of it all. The wolves lie around the now almost cleanly picked remains. They rested Dante's eyes heavy with sleep.
By mid day the pack was fully re-energized. They continued following the trail but something wasn't right. Dante sniffed the air. The scent had changed. It had changed direction. He looked ahead to where the scent was strongest. That's when he spotted it. The Garden. The scent came from the Garden. He smiled, his fangs glistening still stained pink from the blood.
"All to easy", he muttered to himself and ran full speed towards the mighty structure.

On the balcony, Irvine sat among a pile of his guns. Bobby sat across from him. Both blind folded. Bobby's hands moved gracefully over her rifle as she snapped the pieces back together. Her father moved in time with her as they both raced to see who would put the weapon together the fastest.
"Done" they both shouted to each other simultaneously.
Irvine lifted his blind fold and looked at Bobby do the same. He smiled. His daughter impressed him greatly. Not so long ago he remembered changing her diaper and showing her how to properly hold a rifle. However, that was long ago she was now almost grown and was a great if not better then himself.
"Impressive Bobby, yer pretty fast. I remember not to long ago I had ya beat in no time." Irvine chuckled.
"Yeah well time's changing dad." She smiled at him picking up her rifle and wiping it over with a soft rag when suddenly Irvine pointed out to the snow.
"What's that over there?" he asked getting up. Bobby turned her head and strained to see she held her rifle up and looked threw the scope. She spotted figures moving across the snow towards them.
"Talk to me Bobby," Irvine said as he grabbed his rifle to fix his sites on the moving target.
"Man, and I'd say 7 or 8 wolves maybe 60 no 70 clicks from here. Dad I think we have company," she said as she turned to look at Irvine.
"Best go alert Edea. I'll go gather you mother and sisters."
Bobby turned and strided back inside sliding the strap of her rifle over her head.
"Bobby," Irvine called out to her as she ran towards the elevator. She turned, " you be careful ya hear me. Alert Edea and come find me."
"Sure thing dad," she got into the elevator.
"Hyne help us if that witch finds squall" Irvine whispered to himself. As he ran to find Selphie.
