Reunions and Intruders
After their first battle with the two Galbadians, Ward, Quistis, Zell and Selphie fought many more. They were very easy to beat for the trained warriors and, the Galbadian soldiers started to reduce in numbers. Soon no more came at all and the gang were able to return to headquarters.
When they stepped back into the houses, the first thing the villagers did was to cheer and congratulate the protectors again.
"Man, really it was nothing. . ." said Zell in the second house, scratching the back of his head.
"Woo hoo! We sure did beat 'em!" said Selphie happily.
"I don't think there will be any more Galbadians coming to attack now," said Quistis in the first house.
One of the men in Quistis' house said, "You are obviously very well-trained fighters. We can't offer you much in return for your kindness, but we are willing for you to take anything of ours as a reward."
"Please," said Quistis smiling. "It is our mission to protect you. We won't accept anything you offer us, and certainly wouldn't dream of taking any of your belongings."
"Thank you again," said another citizen.
Ward nodded.
Laguna, Kiros, Squall and Irvine kept heading north towards the Galbadian tower, which was the base.
Some more Galbadians challenged the four warriors but they were able to beat them by using GF's and casting Aura for limit-breaks. They fought three more battles, and then none at all.
"Ah, what's happening?" asked Laguna.
"There don't seem to be any more Galbadians . . ." said Kiros.
"Hmm," said Irvine.
". . . Something's wrong," said Squall, speaking up surprisingly.
"Sorry?" said Laguna.
"I said, something's wrong," said Squall again.
"Yeah I know, but what do you mean? How do you know?" said Laguna, obviously quite puzzled.
"I don't know . . ." said Squall. "Forget it."
"Ok . . ." said Laguna.
They kept going and eventually, Kiros said, "Well I think there will be no more Galbadians coming at all. It's probably safe to contact Ward, Quistis, Zell and Selphie now."
"Yeah good thinkin'. I wanna know how Selph's doing," said Irvine, a little enthusiastically.
Kiros produced the communicator again. He pushed a few buttons and soon Quistis' voice could be heard, and her picture could be seen.
"Quistis," said Kiros. "How is everything at your end?"
"Fine," said Quistis. "Is it time to head towards the Galbadian tower yet?"
"Yes. You should tell the citizens to stay right where they are. We need you all to come soon," said Kiros.
"Roger," said Quistis. "I'll tell the others. See you soon."
Quistis' picture disappeared and Kiros put the communicator back in his pocket. He turned to the others. "Did you all hear that?"
"Yeah," said Laguna.
"Uh huh," said Irvine, tipping his hat forward.
Squall nodded.
"We'd better get to the tower now," said Laguna. "We'll wait at the bottom of it for the others. I've heard that it's pretty tall too."
So they all set off again and presently, a huge tower rose above them in the distance. They broke into a run, and soon stood looking up at the gigantic tower.
"Whoa that's big. . ." said Irvine.
Rinoa smiled when she saw the Forest Owls' base. She walked up to it and the door opened. Stepping inside, she was greeted by a wet lick on her leg.
"Angelo!" cried Rinoa. She knelt down and hugged her friend happily. This made two men come running in to see what the noise was.
"Zone! Watts!" Rinoa grinned when she saw her two friends.
"Hi princess. What brings you to Timber?" asked Zone.
"Before I tell you, how are you both?" asked Rinoa.
"I'm good," said Watts.
"Same," said Zone.
"Ok," said Rinoa. "I came to take my mind off my troubles."
"What troubles?" asked Zone.
"Squall. . ." said Rinoa.
"Oh yeah, that reminds me! Where is Squall?" asked Watts.
"That's the problem," said Rinoa sadly. "Squall had to go on a mission in Winhill to fight Galbadians, and I wasn't allowed to go with him. It's only for a day, but I'm really, really worried. He could get hurt badly. . ." At this, Rinoa hid her face in her hands.
Angelo whined.
"It'll be alright Rinoa. Squall can take care of himself," said Watts reassuringly.
"I-I know but, the Galbadians are better soldiers now and Squall's life is in danger!" cried Rinoa.
"Hmm well, maybe the others can cheer you up," said Zone. As soon as he said this, he started howling and clutched at his stomach.
"M-my stomach!" yelled Zone.
When Rinoa saw this, she burst out laughing.
"Phew, that's done the trick. . ." said Watts under his breath.
"Thanks Zone. That makes me feel better," said Rinoa smiling.
"S-sure," with that Zone staggered off somewhere, still holding his stomach.
Rinoa turned to Watts. "So what have you been up to lately?" she asked.
"Nothing much. You know, same old thing," said Watts.
"Right. Well I think I'll go and see everyone," said Rinoa. "Come on Angelo!"
Angelo barked happily and trotted after Rinoa as she walked down the corridor. Rinoa was greeted heartily by all her friends in the Forest Owls. After telling them why she was there, she made her way to her room right at the end.
Jumping onto her bed, Rinoa remembered all the good times she had had in Timber. One particularly good time was when she was introduced to Squall. Smiling to herself, Rinoa had a little nap with Angelo guarding her at the end of the bed. She was totally oblivious to the fact that something was going on in Esthar . . .
Ellone sat outside of Esthar, resting. She had a good think to herself about everything and then something made her go back inside to the Presidential Palace. She did not know that two figures had secretly entered Esthar and had already gone into the Presidential Palace.
The mysterious figures made their way to Squall and Rinoa's guestroom, obviously looking for something.
One saw the note that Rinoa had left on the double bed. They picked it up and read it. It said:
Dear Squall,
Just in case you get back from Winhill early, please don't stress when you find me gone. I am in Timber and I'm fine so you shouldn't worry. I'll be back very soon so I'll see you again pretty soon.
Love Rinoa
(P.S. I love you)
The mysterious figure stuffed the note into his pocket and said something to his companion that sounded like, "let's go".
At that point, Ellone walked past and stopped short when she saw the two figures in the guestroom. She remained calm and ran off to get Estharian soldiers.
The figures started to leave the room but were stopped when Estharian soldiers came shouting and running in to execute the intruders. There were about 7 Estharians and they surrounded the two trespassers easily.
But one of the intruders somehow got away by kicking an Estharian in the stomach. He ran as fast as he could out of Esthar and his comrade called after him, "You know where to go!" The Estharians couldn't catch him, so they decided to stay focused on the intruder they had under control.
They bound the trespasser's hands together and then led him away from the Presidential Palace.
Shortly afterwards, Ellone returned and asked the soldiers what they had done to the intruder.
"We've forced him to tell us what he was doing in the Palace, but all he said was "you can torture me all you want, I won't tell!'" said the head Estharian soldier. "He is now being questioned severely again. I fear that we won't get anything out of him though."
Ellone felt very anxious. "Why would any of them want to come to Esthar? I feel as though they've got something planned. Please make sure that Esthar is safely secured."
"Right." The Estharian soldiers then marched off and resumed their positions on guard, after making sure that the security was working.
Ellone had a troubled look on her face as she went to sit in the Presidential Palace.
Something awful is going to happen, she thought uneasily. I just know it. And I bet that Squall and Rinoa will be stuck right in the middle of it. . .
Ok Ch. 12 done. Hehe, can you guess who those two mysterious intruders were? Ah, you'll find out eventually. Sorry for the wait. I might not be able to post each chapter as quick as I used to because I'm busy with school. Please tell me what you thought of that chapter. (I hope this story is getting interesting) Anyway PLZ R+R! Thanx( This chapter was dedicated to:
Momiji-chan, Wolfspeaker, krnman, Angelwhispher, townberry, cloud strife, the-angel-of-the-lion and Renegade Seraph. Thankyou very, very much for reviewing, esp the ppl who review EVERY single chapter of mine! THANKS:D
