Disclaimer: I own nothing in this story except for Zones and Ryan... they're mine along with Royare.

A man stood looking tired as he listened to a report being shot at him, from a tall man in a brown trench coat opposite him. "Sir, we have received notice of a new Power rising to the east of Esthar. In addition, the L. Monitor is going out of the roof. We have a large scale pro-" This man was interrupted by a third occupant of the room. "Sorry to interrupt sir but there has been a fight." The man who listened to both reports groaned loudly. "Irvine, you will finish your report later... now..." He turned toward the second man. This second reporter stood as tall as the last only with spiky blonde hair. "Headmaster Leonheart... it was Zones and Ryan." Squall took a large breath and stood. "Irvine, Zell...you are dismissed." Squall was tired that was for sure.

As he stood, he stretched and began his walk to the infirmary. As he did such Squall's mind wandered, it had been eleven years since his adventures had ended. Things had taken a calming turn and he had taken control of Balamb Garden. Squall and Zell arrived in the Infirmary about four minutes later and he looked in first on a boy who had beautiful brown hair and eyes matching the ones surveying him. "My son.... the fighter." He joked to Zell. "Gets it from his father." Came a soft voice worriedly from the room next "Doctor Leonheart." Squall replied turning to his wife. Rinoa's raven black hair flowed beautifully as she pointed into the next room. "Ryan Almasy... look at him." Squalls voice was surprised when he next spoke. "My god... the boys..." The blonde boy occupying the next room was bleeding profusely from the face in an exact replica of the wound on Zones's face, thin and deep.

"What happened?" Zell was surprisingly the one to answer. "They've learned Para-magic! I tell you! Eleven! Only you and Seifer could have sons of that strength...that has to be a wound caused by Aero." Shooting Zell a strong look Squall called both boys out here. "Alright you two, this is your final warning. Next time I will be alerting Instructor Almasy. I have had too much leniency on you two. Remember this is the last warning. "He lied... oh that was a major lie, he and Instructor Seifer Almasy had long before then decided to let them work it out of their system. "DO WE HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING?" Squall asked in his toughest voice. Both boys nodded and after receiving a gauze bandage each dashed form the room. "I don't think this is a good sign... history is repeating its self. Now I know what Cid went through with us. Zell as head of administrations I need you to ask Irvine and Xu to keep an eye on those two if they have stumbled across some degree of Para-magic then the fights could become as bad as the one that gave me this." Squall ran a finger down the scar on his nose.

Rinoa and Squall sat on two chairs their thoughts controlling them. Finally, Squall looked up. "I just got a report from Irvine...the lunatic Pandora has been rebuilt. We do not know where it is... where it's going...or when it will strike... or even who brought it back and definitely not how either. It rose into the air over the Centra Lake a few days ago and just as abruptly, it disappeared in a flash of red light. I've alerted our old contact in Fishermans Horizon and he plans to be here within the hour." Sighing he rose and without another word left the Infirmary... destination... the basement.
