Chapter 5: You Are So Sued!
It was three in the morning of the third day. Not a soul was awake in Balamb Garden. Everyone was dreaming away at fighting monsters or delicious hotdogs of the cafeteria. Everyone except Rinoa, Irvine, Selphie, Quistis, Zell, Kiros and Ward. The plan had been laid out. Group A, which consisted of Rinoa, Irvine, Selphie and Quistis, were to kidnap Squall in his dorm, while Group B, which consisted of Zell, Kiros and Ward, were to kidnap Laguna in the guest room.
Group A gathered outside of Squall's room, having a last-minute check on things. They brought everything needed. Good. Rinoa knew the password to Squall's room, and that made matters simple. Quietly she unlocked the door, and with the stealth of cats, everyone entered the room and gathered around Squall's bed. Rinoa almost giggled when she saw Squall sleeping like an angel. Ready with a sack, she gave out the signal to pounce on Squall. As quick as lightning, Selphie grabbed his left arm, Quistis grabbed his right arm while Irvine caught both his legs. Startled, Squall awoke from his sleep but before he could see who the intruders were, a sack was shoved down and he was quickly tied in.
Carrying their 'prized loot', Group A scurried back to the Garden Directory, their meeting place with Group B. Squall was making a lot of noise, but since he was protected from 'Silence' and 'Sleep', they had to put up with his constant yelling and threatening. Well, actually it was kinda funny, so it didn't bother them that much.
A few minutes later, Group B arrived with their 'prized loot'. To Group A, it seemed like they were carrying a sack of potatoes. Their catch was hardly moving and only the sound of snoring could be heard.
"We gave him more booze than he should have," explained Kiros, with a smile on his face.
"…" remarked Ward, looking intently at the other sack. Squall was now swearing, something that no one expected.
"I didn't know he swore either, but we have no way to shut him up," answered Rinoa.
"Anyway, mission accomplished. Now let's get these two and their stuff up into Ragnarok and fly them over to their destination," said Kiros.
"Phew! I'm glad you gave me those Malboro tentacles, Squall would have broken out easily if we used ordinary ropes instead. He has, like, really high strength ratings," remarked Selphie.
