Okay. New people! ^_^ Blue Dragon X and LightOneWingedAngel. Sorry if I missed anyone else, and I'll put them in the next chapter.

Now the characters: Oren Muraski and Mitsurugi "Chaos Angel" Ayanmi.

Now, I just want to pre-apologize for anything bizarre in this chapter. Today was not a good day. My car was broken into at school and all my stuff was stolen. So I am NOT happy, and that will probably translate into my character. Sorry if Jen seems EXTRA aggressive now. ::blares her radio and starts to write::

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lexiter woke up from her exhausting round of beating the hell out of the punching bag and pulled her leather gloves on, grabbing the Katana and putting it on her back, the slinging her rifle over her shoulder. The new cadets that would be serving under her would learn to respect quickly, or pay the consequences.

In his room Daniel did the same, placing the Katana on his back and walked out the door, towards the large, open training grounds. The lights that flooded the place were bright, making it seem like daylight even though there were no windows to the outside. A third of the room was made of large brown marble tiles, with the rest grass. In the back corner was a small pool of sorts with a few trees surrounding it. The "windows" on the wall showed a beautiful scene, giving the illusion that they were all in the middle of a beautiful forest, when they were really in a crowded city underground.

Daniel and Lexiter met up outside and went in, looking at a clock outside the door. They were a few minutes early, and no doubt Jen would be late, as usual. When they went in there were various cadets milling around, and a few of the higher ranking people. Sypher stood by one of the windows with Arlington, the Comm. Spec. from Lexiter's company. They were laughing and joking around.

Daniel watched as one of his cadet's brought in the people he found, and one of Lexiter's cadets brought in her's. Lynn came in with Eric, who was still carrying the boy with the tail and the black mage. They watched with amusement as all that unfolded.

Jen was awoken again by a knock at her door. She growled and jumped up, revolver in hand once again. She threw the door open and aimed it up, thinking it was someone else.

"Whoa girl. Watch where you aim that gun."

"Oh, it's only you," Jen said and looked Azumi straight in the eye. The other girl laughed.

"Who you think it was?"

"Bennett, or Sypher. Hell, Badguy's been pissing me off too."

"Aw, fuck them. They don't know when to back off."

"No."

"So I hear we have this meeting?"

"Yeah, why aren't you there?"

"I come to get you girl!" Zuzu walked into the room, flopping down onto the couch, playing with the two daggers she happened to be carrying.

"You ruin my couch and I'll kick your ass." Zuzu laughed.

"You threaten, but you would never."

"Try me." Zuzu laughed and "dropped" the dagger on the couch. Jen's eyes went wide as the other girl joked.

"I just fooling you, mon. Chill out." Jen sighed and pulled her belts on again, tucking her pistol and revolver in. She pulled her suede jacket on and strapped the rifle to her back.

"Well, let's go see these new people, shall we?" Zuzu stood, grinning, twirling the daggers in her hand and putting them in sheaths on her hip. They walked out of the room and walked quickly up to the training room, entering the door to a shout.

Jen looked over, sighing. "I swear." She walked over to Sypher and BlackJack, the latter with her hand around the other's neck. "Sypher, what did you do now?"

He choked and BlackJack let him go. "I was just being friendly!"

"Your way of being friendly is not invited." BlackJack snapped, stepping away.

"Sypher, I'm warning you," Jen said, casually placing her hand by her favorite revolver. Sypher gulped and nodded, eyeing the gun. Zuzu laughed.

"You such a shit Syph."

"Shut the fuck up." He spat, narrowing his eyes at her. She laughed and danced away, taking a seat on the grass. The three captain, Jen dwarfed by the tall Daniel and Lexiter stood in front of the group. The cadets fell into a formation of sorts in front of them, the others randomly grouped around. Sypher walked to the back near Zuzu and stood next to Badguy, who was busy eyeing a few of the new people that had been found.

"Listen up, you cow-eyed fucks," Lexiter spat. "this is not playtime. You are here with a job to do. We are not going to babysit you. We demand your respect, or you will not be promoted. Take a look around you. Do you see those people not standing with you? Those are the only people that deserve to be here. They are the only ones that worked hard enough to become a full member of the N.A. As a cadet, you have NO rights. Is this understood?"

"Yes Captain!" The previous cadets in all the companies sad. The new ones looked frightened."

"Good." She stepped back, arms crossed and looked at the new people, all much shorter than her.

"As my company knows, we've lost a very important member of the group. Your Second, Damon, was killed in the attack on Sanria. Brenton sent him there, even though his orders were to go elsewhere. We also lost Janiyra, and some other members are still missing. So do you know what this means?" There was a pause. "It means that from now on, you will under no circumstances take orders from anyone else. I don't care if it is Brenton. If he tells you to go elsewhere, you will report IMMEDIATELY to either myself or Bennett. Is THAT understood?" They nodded and then one stepped forward.

"Captain?"

"Yes?" She asked rather perturbed at being interrupted.

"Is Bennett the new second?"

"Yes, he is."

"Well, I thought you would be replacing Damon with another Combat Spec, and Bennett is not."

"Your point, cadet?"

"Well, ma'am, I've been with this company for three years, under you, and Bennett has only been here for almost two."

"I still am not seeing your point."

"Shouldn't you be replacing him with someone who's been here longer, in the same field as he was?"

"You mean you."

"Well, yes." Jen gave a sly, almost evil grin, and Lexiter suppressed a laugh by biting her lip. Zuzu from the back fell over onto the grass, gasping for air.

"Well, I must say you have balls for speaking up cadet. I must give you that. But I don't see how you are more qualified than Bennett, quite frankly."

"I just have more superiority ma'am."

"Oh, is that it?" She ripped her revolver out of her holster and held it up to the mans neck. He gasped and started to shake. "I will not promote those who cannot face me and my guns without shaking. If you fear me, then you will crack in the face of the Circle. Do you think I'm scary? Well they are one hundred times worse," she spat. She looked over at Bennett quickly and then Sypher. She smiled and looked back at the man, pulling the hammer back. He started to sweat. She pulled her gun away from him and without looking pointed it in Bennett's direction, firing. Half the cadet's jumped, and Bennett still stood, unfazed, even though he had a new small burn on his neck. She pulled the hammer back again and pointed it at Sypher, who stood behind the man, and fired again. The man jumped, and Sypher stood still, a small burn showing up on his neck as well. He crossed his arms looking unimpressed.

The man looked about ready to wet his pants, and even Daniel was having a hard time keeping his face straight. "Anymore questions?"

"No- no ma'am," he quivered.

"I have a question." Jen turned and saw Severine Valentine leaning against one of the glasses. Jen sighed.

"Here we go," she muttered. "Yes?"

"Why is it the other two captains are so tall, and you're so short?" Jen blushed a deep red, causing a laugh from Severine. Jen turned, muttering, when Sypher joined in the laughter. She glared at him till he looked up at her and stopped instantly.

"Heh?" He finished. She turned to look at the other people from the other worlds. They stood around or sat. She turned to Lexiter who did not seem interested.

"Lynn?" She asked. Lynn stepped forward.

"We have some people joining us," she said quietly, so everyone strained to hear her. "They've come a long way." She said, and quietly introduced the people she found, then ran back to her spot alongside Eric. He looked down at her and nodded. Daniel and Lexiter each took their shots and then Jen did. She hadn't been paying much attention to what was going on and who was who, but she had noticed the boy with the tail, and how he seemed to be protecting the black-haired girl.

Lexiter turned to her and frowned. "They don't have anywhere to stay."

"There are plenty of places," Jen said frustrated. She followed Daniel and Lexiter over to the group of them. They all seemed to find comfort in the fact that none of them were from the planet they were one. Jen looked them up and down, trying to figure out what she was going to do with them, when she noticed Zell. He had his head turned so his tattoo wasn't showing.

"Oh my-"

"Fuck." Lexiter said, noticing the same thing. She grabbed Jen who slipped out of her grasp, running up to Zell. He turned, looking at her confused.

"Damon?" She cried, then stopped when she saw the side of his face. He opened his eyes wide, his head being held in her hands. He looked at Squall who just shrugged. "Oh lord, you look just like him!" She cried, her vulnerable side seeping through. By this time Severine and Zuzu had run up.

"Come on Jen, let's go." Severine said. She pushed them back, looking at Zell, her face red.

"What's your name?"

"Zell."

"How old are you?"

"Eighteen?" He said, still looking to Squall.

"Can you fight?"

"Umm, of course?"

"How?"

"Martial arts?" He said, once again in question. Jen burst out sobbing, burying her face in her hands. Zuzu wrapped her arms around her and led her out the door with Severine looking concerned behind her. Lexiter turned to Malia Lebiann, one of the women in her core group and nodded her head to the door. Mal approached her.

"Go make sure she's alright." Mal nodded and ran out the door, following the other three to Jen's room.

Zell looked nervously at everyone when the two tall captains approached him. "I didn't do anything! I swear!"

"Smoothe move chicken-wuss," Seifer said, arms crossed. Zell shot him a dirty look.

"I'm sorry you had to see that, really am." Lexiter said. "It's just that, she recently lost someone, and. . . you look just like him."

"Oh shit." Zell said, hanging his head.

"Yes, the resemblance is amazing." Another tall man, with spiked black hair approached, looking down at Zell. "If it wasn't for the tattoo, and if all of your hair was spiked, you would be a spitting image of him."

"Wasn't Damon a little taller though, Alex?" Sypher asked approaching Zell, who was getting a bit nervous.

"No. Well, maybe an inch or two, but I don't recall him being that tall."

"Here that chickie? There's hope for you yet." Zell turned on Seifer, punching him square in the jaw. Michael Porter watched from his spot, and eyebrow raised.

"Seems to have his attitude, too."

Lexiter left the group and walked over to the people Jen had brought in. She brushed past a short girl with short, dark hair. The girl smiled as she walked away and turned to Cloud, showing him the bullets she somehow managed to grab. Cloud shook his head and looked at BlackJack, who was turned and watching them, grinning. She held up her hand and started to play with the Materia. Cid turned and burst out laughing.

"That's the greatest fuckin' thing I have ever seen!" He held onto his stomach while he laughed. Yuffie turned and saw her Materia in the other's hands and growled, stomping up to her.

"What do you think you're doing with them? That's mine!"

"And I believe you have something of mine."

"You're a thief!" She cried.

"Takes one to know one." Yuffie growled and took back her Materia, handing over the bullets and stomped back to her group. Cid was just about doubled over with laughter.

"I really like you!" He said to BlackJack, who continued to make her rounds, eyeing the people.

"Oren." She said, turning to the man behind her. He walked slowly over. "Show them to the rooms on the bottom floor Seven." He nodded, not really talking, and motioned for them to follow. She nodded with satisfaction and then turned back to the cadets.

"You may all leave, but first I want no one discussing what happened here today. And for you new people, do you see how well all the others take orders?" They nodded. "I advise you to start to learn. Get out!" She barked. Some of the practically sprinted to the door, and other lazily wandered their way. She frowned watching them, making notes on who would suffer in the next training sessions.

Somehow the three girls managed to get Jen into her room and lying on her bed, her face contorted with grief.

"Jen, it gonna be okay girl. You see."

"He's dead!" She moaned. Zuzu frowned and looked at Mal.

"What you think we do about this?"

"Do you think if we brought him in here, she would calm down?"

"Why you think that work?"

"I don't know. Just a feeling. She's in such a delirious state, maybe she'll think it is him."

"You twisted girl. Go get him," she smiled as Mal ran out of the room and ran to get Zell, who was following behind Daniel.

"You're needed."

"Oh no, uh-uh."

"You're coming with me." She grabbed his arm, and once more he looked for Squall's help.

"Squall. . ."

". . ."

Mal dragged him back to the door and knocked. It was opened by Severine, and Mal dragged the resisting Zell over to Jen's bed. He looked around at all the random guns around the room, and then looked down at the girl.

"Sit." Zuzu pushed him onto the side of the bed. He did so, watching Jen sob on her side.

"This isn't like her. Are you sure she's going to be okay?" Severine asked, alarmed. Zuzu nodded.

"Yeah, she be alright in the end. I'm gonna personally make Brenton pay for his, indiscretions."

"Damon." Jen moaned, her eyes a brilliant green color. Zuzu nudged Zell, who reached out and took the girl's hand.

"I'm- I'm right here, Jen."

"Don't leave me!" She whined, her voice low.

"I'll never leave." He said sadly, feeling pity for this girl. Zuzu nodded her approval.

"You doin' good."

Eventually Jen went to sleep and Mal helped Zell pry his hand out of hers. She turned over onto her stomach and the pulled her coat and boots off, leaving her to sleep.

"Is she going to be alright?"

"Yeah, in a few days. She'll be sleeping for quite awhile now. Whenever she has a fit like this, she's out of it. Better go tell BlackJack," Severine said, nodding to the others as she left.

"Thanks a lot, kid."

"Zell."

"Yeah, Zell. You did good." She led the him and Mal out of the room, shutting it behind her.

Severine ran up to BlackJack in the hall. "How is she?"

"Zuzu said she'd be out for a few days."

"Fuck. Of course she had to do this now. Alright. Thanks." Severine nodded and took off to find Bennett.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well I hope you liked it. And if anyone asked me to pick out a favorite part I wouldn't be able to. I had so much fun writing this part. And don't worry if your character wasn't in this one. They WILL be in the next, I promise!!

Also, to LightOneWingedAngel, I need more stats on your character, like their personality, if they curse and such. How they act towards people, height. All that good stuff. Sounds like a cool character but I need more before I can right him in. Well, later people! Until next time. . .
