Chapter 5: The New Students
Aurilia landed next to the T-Rexaur corpse to retrieve her weapon. As she pulled it out and removed the crimson blood, the phoenix wings at the tip of the gold staff just below the beginning of the spearhead glowed with a soft light making the whole area appear as it would at sunset. She walked over to where the devastated sorceress' body lay, careful not to step in any blood, and, hoping that she hadn't been too late, placed a finger on her neck. Rinoa was still alive! The flame coloured haired girl step back and holding her spearhead above the dying women's heart cast a Curaga spell. Not long after she had finished she heard a noise in back of her. Instantly she turned around in fighting stance, spear ready.
"You tarried" Maura, her best friend, said, as she climbed over the fence, making sure that her long black coat didn't catch in the wires. Her deep blue eyes, who were almost hidden by her jet-black hair, questioning: "Why?"
"I thought the sorceress who was able to defeat Ultimacia would be able to pull off something. Considering the powers she has her limit break would have been sufficient to finish the monster off, but it was too fast for her. Guess she didn't have any magic junction to her speed." Aurilia answered.
"Don't guess" came another familiar voice. Their friend Brice had, as he so often did, suddenly appeared next to Rinoa, a hand over her forehead checking her grid. "She wasn't even junctioned to a GF," he stated shaking his head, causing his brown spiked hair to fall over his eyes.
"And to think that for a second I thought she was smart!" The black haired women declared "Hyne! Are all-powerful sorceress' so stupid? What did she think she was doing walking in here without even a GF? Is she that dumb?"
"I saw her reach for her weapon, but she had forgotten it. Maybe you're right. All of them seem to have done idiotic things, but this is by far the worst!" The young man stated as he bent down and picked her up. "We should bring her to the infirmary cause that Curaga spell didn't seem to have much of an effect."
"By the way" Maura turned to face Aurilia and asked: "Was that your limit break?"
"Yeah" The young women replied, "Jump. Quite devastating attack, isn't it"
"I wouldn't go that far" Brice called over his shoulder "Mine is much better"
************************* **************************
Squall couldn't believe it. Of all the stupid things he had ever been called down to the headmaster's office for, this had to be the worst. Not only had he given everybody specific instructions if Seifer were ever to return, but he had expected Quistis, of all people, to be able to carry them out. He really didn't care what reason the blond man had given the former instructor to hesitate, he wasn't welcome here and he would make sure he understood it before he was kicked out.
"What are you doing here?" he asked his voice sounded harsh. His nemesis smirked.
"That's a ridiculous question Squall. I thought the great leader of SeeD would have figured that out. Guess I was giving you too much credit" making no attempt to hide the annoying intonation in his words. Just then he felt uneasy, and his chest felt like something had just rip through it. The brunet shook his head and brought his hand to his forehead and tried to forget about it he needed to think clearly and this wasn't helping. Seifer's attitude apparently hadn't changed he was just as cocky as ever, and if that hadn't changed then he was still prone to fall into enemy hands and cause more trouble for the Garden. With the growing restlessness in Galbadia this meant nothing good, though he hated to admit it, the ex- sorceress knight could be a valuable asset. He had already mounted an attack against Balamb before and it had almost been successful. Squall was sure as hell not going to give him more military training.
"You're thinking too much again" came Quistis' voice interrupting his train of thought. He turned to her and nodded, then looked at Seifer.
"Look I'm gonna make this very clear-
"Squall" Xu cried as she ran in. They all stared at her in amazement while she tried to catch her breath. "Rinoa *huff huff *she's in the infirmary *huff huff * she was attacked by a monster in the Training Center while she had no weapon and no GFs junctioned to her * huff huff * she was saved and brought in by three new students and the Dr sent me here to get you, she thought it would be best.
"Oh no" Quistis exclaimed before covering her mouth with both her hands. Squall bit his lower lip drawing blood, and made a quick decision.
"Seifer you'll be allowed to stay and if you cause any problems or step so much as half a millimeter out of line your out"
"Don't worry fearless leader I wouldn't dream of it"' but his sarcastic remark came too late as Squall was already out the door with the only thought of his precious angle in mind. Headmaster Cid chuckled. "You're losing your touch Seifer," he said walking up to him "Well this is an unexpected turn of events. A lucky break for you" he added handing him a room key then proceeding to Fujin.
"Yeah I haven't had one of those in a long time," the blond said gazing out the window.

Selphie was extremely happy because once again she was driving the Ragnarock. Heading back home after another successful mission. Irvine as usual, was standing behind her giving useless directions and Zell was occupying the co-pilot seat, feet up, eyes closed, and, if her ears weren't deceive her, snoring too. He was woken up, though by the telephone ringing.
"Hey Zell can you get that for me" the girl said cheerfully "and put in on speakerphone" The blond leaned over and pressed a few buttons. Seconds later a distressed woman' voice was heard.
"Guys"
"Hey Quisty, what' up" Irvine asked not noticing his friends alarmed tone.
"Nothing good" she answered, "I got bad news"
"Shoot" Selphie spoke up definitely worried.
"Well number one Seifer is back in Garden and here to stay"
"WHAT!" Shouted Zell "How can you let that fucking bastard back into the school after what he did. Didn't we get instructions from Squall not to let him back in"
"Well it was Squall' decision" answered the women
"But he tried to kill Rinoa" The cowboy stated
"That' the second bad news" They all froze. Holding her breath, Selphie almost forgot she was piloting the flying ship.
"Rinoa' in the infirmary. She was attacked by a monster in the Training Center and didn't have her weapon or any GF'. Squall ordered to abort the mission if not completed already and come strait back" She took a breath. "He wants all of you to be there when she wakes up"
"Understood, we're on our way, over and out" Selphie said her voice sounded serious and a frown replaced the usually happy expression. "Zell we're switching to turbo got it" The blond nodded and inputted the code. The air ship immediately went at a speed that was barely imaginable and not visible to the human eyes. The scenery zipped by making it hard to pilot, but Selphie didn't notice she was heading back home where her wounded friend was waiting and she wouldn't let her open her eyes to no friends at all.
