Forgiving or Forgiven
Chapter five
"Heh...heh," Seifer laughed nervously as the trio backed away from the advancing Magnus Humorous. They tried looking around for an escape route of some sort, but the only way was past the machines, and the gap was too narrow for them to try to get around without being seriously injured.
"WHAT?" Fujin asked, still backing away.
"Well, we could either: 1. Battle it, 2. Wait for reinforcements, 3. Get beaten to a pulp, or 4. distract it using someone and run past it!" Zell said, coming to a stop as they backed up against a wall.
The Magnus Humorous were now in front of them, and there was no way to escape, and very little room to battle.
"It is time."
"What?" Zell said, looking around.
"Who was that?" Seifer yelled, over the noise of the machine.
"LOOK," Fujin declared, pointing up.
A man with a cape of some sort around his shoulders leapt down from the ledge he was standing on. The Magnus Humorous stopped their forward assault, as they eyed the man wearily. The machines lunged for him, and he skillfully dodged them. Then he ran around them, circle after circle, confusing the machines. He stood in between them, and they lunged for him at the same time. He moved out of the way, and they crashed into each other.
"Enough," he said, drawing his weapon, a katana. He threw a powerful Thundaga spell, which short-circuited both of them, because they were touching. He raised his katana, and dealt the final blow, cutting all the wires needed to function properly. The machine moved to get up, but collapsed again, dust raising around it as it fell to the ground.
"WHO?" Fujin asked, stepping towards him.
"Orion."
"DOING?"
"Protecting those who are needed in the future."
"What do you mean?" Zell asked, rubbing his gloves.
"You Zell, are one of the Children of Fate, along with your childhood friends, the Knight, and his two followers. An evil stronger than Ultimecia is about to arise soon. Their intentions are unknown, and you are one of the Chosen to battle them. This machine...a baby compared to what they can do."
"Let's try and head back to Garden," Seifer said, putting his bag over his shoulder. "Although there might be more, we have to warn Squall about this new evil."
"Much as I hate to admit it, you're right. Let's go," Zell said, walking to the exit of the train station. Orion followed.
"I may be of some assistance," he said, when Zell looked questioningly towards him.
Now that their battle was out of the way, there was the sound of battle.
'Raijin must have got Garden! Well, hopefully this'll show Dobe that violence can solve some problems,' Seifer thought, as they headed to what sounded like a magic melee.
Zell, Seifer, Fujin and Orion walked towards a battle field. About ten Magnus Humorous were trying their luck against Garden's SeeDs and cadets. They were grouped with about ten SeeDs and cadets to one Magnus Humorous. Although the grouping was a bit tight to battle, the Magnus Humorous were no match for the united might that was Garden.
As the last machine fell, Zell and his group walked towards Squall.
"Squall, we have to tell you some-" Zell started.
"Leonhart, you are chosen to lead the Children of Fate, the Knight, and his followers. Soon, a new evil will arise, stronger than Ultimecia. If you thought that these machines are difficult, you'll have a hard time standing up to them, because these machines are babies to what they can do." Orion turned on his heel, and started walking towards the dock where Garden was harbored.
Zell was rubbing the back of his neck nervously as Seifer said: "What's his problem?"
Squall watched him silently.
"Get students and SeeDs back into Garden, we're leaving soon," Squall said, and then followed where Orion was heading.
The cadets and SeeDs were in the middle of congratulating themselves on a job well done, when Zell started going around all of the people and telling them that Garden was leaving soon. Slowly, the crowd started to disperse, walking towards Garden. Soon, only Zell, Seifer and Fujin were left standing in FH.
"Good job," Zell said, before walking off with the rest of them.
"Was that a compliment, from Zell?" Seifer asked, looking shocked.
"AFFIRMATIVE," Fujin said, and started walking back to Garden.
When they had ot onto Garden, an announcement rang over the entire Garden.
"We have a guest here in Garden, by the name of Orion. Please can you treat him like one of our own instuctors. Also, the field exam scheduled for the SeeD cadets this afternoon has been cancelled. The battle we had a moment ago was the field exam. Could Storm Heart, Rhyanna Stevens and Seifer Almasy please come up to my office. Thank you."
Seifer stood in the elevator with Storm and Rhyanna, who, not surprising, were as far away from Seifer as they could be. The elevator slowed, then came to a stop. The doors popped open with a 'ping' and the three occupants stepped out into Squall's office.
They all stood in a line in front of Squall, Seifer in the middle. They all saluted in unison, and then stood at ease.
"Well, you all have finally attained SeeDship. Congratulations."
Squall walked up to each one of them and said a choice comment, presenting each of them with their SeeD report.
"Try not to let your emotions get in the way of the mission," he said to Storm.
"One mistake..." he said to Seifer. Seifer simply nodded in response.
"Try to not get scared in the heat of battle," he said to Rhyanna.
"Dissmissed, except Seifer. We need to have a chat."
Seifer stayed behind as Storm and Rhyanna walked out and shut the door.
"Seifer, being a SeeD means that you have more responsibility," Squall started. "Me and Cid have decided that you can take missions that need a certain amount of stealth, and some where the group is lacking power. I would also like to reinstate you as Head of the Disciplinary Committee, along with Fujin and Raijin. Do you accept?"
Seifer thought for a moment and then said: "Yes, and this time, I'll try and nit be so much of an asshole to everyone," Seifer said, smirking a little.
"You are officially reinstated tomorrow morning. I'll make an annoucement then. When you hear the announcement, then you can go around giving people detention for breathing," Squall said, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
"OK, sir, I'll start tomorrow," Seifer said, putting emphasis on the sir.
"Don't start," Squall warned. "Not everyone in the Garden has accepted that you are allowed here as much as they are."
Seifer nodded, then turned, and walked towards the elevator.
Well, how's that? I hate writers block, but I think it's gone now! Yay!
