Author's mumbo jumbo: Author's mumbo jumbo: Yes, this is yet again, just me babbling. I know I usually try to write a chapter a week, but I decided to update early! By like 4 days! How fun! Please r/r I am open to all comments, the storyline is pretty much set, but ya know, I tend to change things half way through. Kind of like the twins fic, it is completely different then I planned.

It takes

Or mistakes'
Chapter 3
Ding Dong. I love that noise that the elevator makes! It kind of sounds like a beep beep, then again, kind of like a ding-dong. It is so NIFTY! I stepped off the elevator and securely put my right hand over my laptop. In all the years I have had it, never had I given her a name. I think I will call her Phillip! Wait, no that is Cosmo's nickel. Well, I like Batman's computer, and it is always ironic to give 'feminine' objects male names, sooooo. I think I will call her Batman!
I have to stop thinking; every time I do it weakens the nation. Not like this nation is mine anyway, but I have always dreamed of ruling it.
My feet started walking towards the training center, almost like they were on auto-Pilate. I have always wanted to see a REAL monster. I have seen them in movies, and on TV and games, but never in life. This was going to be great.
As I got closer to the training center, I realized how much darker the corridor gets leading there. The air seemed to thicken with moisture and mold. Monsters must not be the cleanest things in the world. I got to the door leading to the training center. Unfortunately, it didn't automatically open when I walked in front of it. The Garden must have installed a button since that one experience when the garden went haywire, and monsters tried to eat everyone. I know I would install a pretty button if a monster tried to eat me! Who wouldn't? I placed my hand against the metal door leading towards the artificial swamp/jungle. A chill shot through my body and down my spine. The door felt like ice, or maybe it was because I was having second thoughts about going in. I really wanted to see a monster, but I wasn't that good at fighting. And god knows, wait, I forgot, I am in Final Fantasy world, Hyne knows that you can't go into the training center and not fight. I looked out of the corner of my eye to my left. I saw something glowing a bright shade of blue, powered by LED or neon lights I presume. I turned my head, taking my hand off the door at the same time. So, there WAS a button. I pressed it and quickly ran in, just so second thoughts wouldn't run through my head again.
When I entered, there weren't any monsters, but I did see a really big rock and a bush to the right. Perfect place to hide Batman. Don't want to accidentally break him. That would be bad. I walked over to the bush and knelt down, placing Batman carefully in a remote spot. Just as I was standing up, rustling was heard behind me. I quickly turned around and saw that a 'vampire' had popped out. "AHHHHHHHH SHIT!" This thing was as tall as me, about 5'6! But its tentacles reached high above its head. The vampires green skin reminded me of raw fish, without the scales of course. I just stood there staring at it, hoping it would just realize I was no threat and didn't want to attack. No such luck, I guess Mr. Vampire didn't have such a good day. Looks like someone tried to beat him up.
The vampire glided toward me and bit into me, quickly injecting its poison. "AHHHHH IT'S TRYING TO EAT ME!!!! You big jerk! That hurt!" While the vampire was trying to back away from me, back into its original starting position, I started running towards it. Quickly thinking, its weakest spot is going to be its head. Once I was within five feet of the beast I bent my knees and started to rotate my body. I quickly sprung out of my position quickly, taking air. I continued to spin my body clockwise, straightening my right leg. "HIYA! EAT THAT!" After my boot made contact with the vampire's head my body continued to finish its spin and land on my left leg first. Since the vampire was already weakened, my blow put enough shock for it to fall on the ground and faint. I jumped up and shot my right arm into the air. "YES! I WIN! HA!" I guess a good five years of martial arts and a first-degree black belt DOES come in handy. I suddenly felt dizzy and decided to sit down. "Wow, that was a little too exhilarating." I crossed my legs and looked around and placed my palms down beside me. The ground felt moist, along with the air, and probably every other place in the training center. I heard more rustling, then footsteps. Someone was watching me?! I looked towards the direction that the footsteps were coming from.
The black untied boots were scuffed up, and her skirt was shorter than I imagined it. But there were still black shorts under the skirt. Her baby blue sweater hung to about her ankles. Rinoa was defiantly a lot prettier in real life than in the video game. Not that I would ever try to go for her or anything, I mean, my preference was guys, but it was defiantly obvious why Squall liked her. She was... Beautiful! Rinoa looked at me and knelt down beside me. "That was really good! Are you knew here?"
"Not really, I am just visiting. I couldn't help but to visit the training center."
"Oh, then I guess you probably don't have any antidotes or anything do you?" I shook my head to her question. Rinoa reached into a small pouch that I never even realized she had attached to the side of her skirt. She pulled out a small flask with a yellowish colored liquid. "Here, drink this! It will get rid of the poison that the vampire injected into you. Trust me, if you don't, you will faint within a couple of minutes."
I took the flask and looked at it. From what I know, Rinoa isn't known to poison random people, so I think it is okay to believe her that it is an antidote. Besides, I always wondered what these things would taste like. I popped the lid off and poured all the liquid from the small container down my throat. I almost gagged at the taste of it. The antidote was horribly sour, and foul at the same time. Worse then anything I have ever tasted. But as it went down my throat, a soothing sensation started to happen in my stomach. The room had stopped spinning. "Wow, that was... Gross. But it helped so much! Thank you!" I gave Rinoa a really big, cheerful smile. She giggled at me and held out her hand.
"I'm Rinoa, what's your name?"
"I'm Lea! And I am a big loser that can't fight too well and has no idea what I am really doing here or even really where my home is!" Rinoa giggled again at my comment for a minute, then her face went completely straight and almost frowned.
"Oh my god, are you serious? You weren't kidding me were you?" I shook my head no. "Oh my god! Is there anything I can do to help you out?"
I thought for a minute, maybe leaking a little bit of info wasn't going to hurt too much. "I received a slight case of amnesia, but not the full blown thing. All I can really remember is stuff with the computer, how to well, sort-of fight, my name, and wait no, that is it. I came to the Garden to see if the Headmaster would let me join, but he wouldn't accept me without previous schooling information or a place of residency, which I just happen to not remember either. So, I decided to take over the world." Wow, I think I am actually starting to believe my own story. Maybe if I keep saying it, I won't be homesick, I will just start trying to find my forgotten family! Boy, that would be fun, just like finding a needle in the middle of Esther! Wait, no, there is more chance of finding that needle; maybe I should start looking for it.
Rinoa looked at me and grabbed my hand. She stood up and pulled me up with her. "I am not going to accept that type of behavior from Cid! He is going to let you join! Even if he has to find out your past by himself! You are a really good fighter, and believe me, the Garden needs it right now." She smiled at me. "Let's also get you some clothes that aren't full of blood." Well, off to go find that needle then. Rinoa started walking towards the exit of the training center, and then she turned around and motioned me to follow her. I started walking towards her then remembered.
"Hold up a sec!" I ran to the big rock and the fluffy bush, carefully retrieving Batman from her hiding spot. "Alright, I am ready to carry out whatever evil plan that you are thinking of." Rinoa just giggled then tried not to laugh as she was talking to me.
"Just how good with computer are you?" I smiled an evil smile at Rinoa.
"Believe me, I can do just about ANYTHING with it." Her upper lip started to curve in a diabolical way.
"Good, I've got a plan." This could be interesting.
Author's notes: Sorry, this chapter and the last one have SEEMED a bit short, even though in reality they are each close to 1700 words. But that is okay, they will be longer again. Possibly by chapter five, I am going to have them back up to 3000 words a chapter. Me and my muse are working hard to get it perfect for you! So please r/r
