Chapter 4: From one place to another and everything in between Squall's POV
I ran away from Galbadia Garden. I still can't believe I did that...To tell the truth, I didn't have much trouble getting outta there. I'd have thought those guys were better guards than that. They only covered the main entrances and nothing else, so all I did was activate my metasite and jump out the window. Sound crazy? Maybe for a normal human but not for me. To me, it was like going down the stairs hehe.
Anyways enough of my cockiness. I didn't want to go to Galbadia (the city, not the Garden) 'cause everybody there would probably know me. I needed to go to a place that less people knew me and I could spend one night.
You see, the problem is if anybody from Galbadia Garden finds me, I have to go back. It's the rule. I signed up for Garden and now I have to abide by their stupid rules. Another rule is that if another Garden accepts me, then I didn't have to go back to the Garden I was in before.
So I had 3 other choices for Gardens. Trabia, Esthar, or Balamb. Now, Trabia's an old dump and the technology is way below the others although it's a neutral Garden (which means it's not under the control of the main government or the rebels). Esthar is really big. Probably the biggest Garden there is. Really new too, it only opened this year. However, it's run by the government which means I'll probably have to fight side by side with those bastards from Galbadia Garden. Balamb is the only one which I haven't visited before. I have no idea what's in that Garden since all I've seen of it are pictures of the outside. It looks kinda like a big bubble with a big disk on the bottom that spins around to make it hover. All I know is that it's the Garden run by the rebels.
I decided I'd go to Balamb Garden and take a look at that place. I'd like to see how the rebels do things and it's the only one which I mildly WANT to go to.
To get to Balamb Garden, I had to pass through Deling. Deling was a big city which was controlled by the government. It had a reputation as being a sort of "tough neighborhood". I don't really give a damn so I decided to stay at Deling for one night and then go to Balamb Garden the next day.
Getting to Deling's the easy part. One bus ride and I'm there, it only takes about an hour. I got to Deling at around 7:00 pm. The street lamps were just starting to turn on and people were going back home. Geez this place was big, it took me half an hour to find a hotel that I could stay in. I went inside this place called "CityScape", it was supposed to be some mid class hotel. I went to the chick at the counter and asked if they had a room.
"Yes we do sir, how many nights will you be staying?" She said all this while batting her eyelashes like crazy.
"Just one" I responded pretty coldly but she kept the eyelashes going.
"One? Alright that'll be 50 gil please." Damn it why'd she have to do that eyelash thing? I handed over the cash.
"Oh by the way, you know any good restaurants around here?" I didn't feel like walking into a random diner and eating some crap food.
"Yes, there's this place down the street in this little alley. It's called 'Hell's Bistro' and it's really good!"
I thanked her and headed out the door to this 'Hell's Bistro'. I found the place no problem. It was a pretty small place which had tons of big guys inside it. Point is, it was a rowdy bar and I got there early so not many bad folk were there...yet.
I went inside and ordered a burger and a coke. Once I stepped in, my metasite instantly scanned the surroundings and I took in every detail of the room and the people in it. I was easily the smallest guy in the room. There were some guys arm wrestling at one table and the other tables were full with some bike gang.
The food was good and nobody bothered me since I didn't say anything and I was sitting in a corner. Corners are always the best place to sit since you can see everyone and noone can sneak up on you. I tipped the waitress and walked outside. I went into the restaurant at around 9:00, I came out at about 11:30 since they had a band playing and I wanted to relax a little.
Well, a dark alleyway in Deling is not somewhere you want to be at 11:30. I knew it too. I was walking down the alleyway when my metasite alerted me of two guys standing in a corner who looked like trouble.
Sure enough, they started coming towards me. My metasite eyes could see one of them holding a knife, hell, my metasite eyes could read the writing on the knife's handle.
"Hey kid, me n' my bud are kinda thirsty and you look like you got some dough on ya" Oh so they were trying to rob me. I could have laughed.
"Sorry, I got no cash" I decided to give em a chance to smarten up. They didn't take it. The guy shows the knife and smirks like he was hiding it the whole time. I made a look of surprise on my face just for the hell of it.
"I'm sure you got something NOW" he said it with this grin all plastered over his face. I decided it was time to end it.
I activated my metasite and felt the armor wrapping around my body. I knocked the knife out of the guys hand before he could even see my arm move. Then I drew Lionheart. FWAP FWAP! Two blows so fast that the air cracked as the blade went through it. I hit both guys with the flat of the blade and sent them into unconsciousness.
I took off the armor and walked back to the hotel. Tomorrow would be a big day...
AN: I'm making my chapters even LONGER now hahaha funny, it always seems long when I write it but when it comes out, it's short again *shrug* weird. Well, this chapter had a little bit of action in it just to show you guys the power of a metasite =) Please R&R!!!
