Chapter Two: The Arrival
The new couples walked into the doors of the Esthar Air Station, holding
hands, waiting cautiously in the front. It was completely dark and
deserted, and the two didn't know if it was such a good idea to come to
this "reunion" at an air station anymore.
"Irvy, don't you think it's a little strange that Headmaster Cid dots
his I's with hearts, said that he would send "our" chicobos out to get
us, and said "Yes... that's it..." after signing his name in pink?" The girl
blinked.
"Oh, I dunno, he might have gotten Xu or someone to make the invitations
or something." Irvine shrugged. He didn't want to blow off an opportunity
to party to show off his dancing skills.
"I guess so... I wonder if anyone else is coming... I mean, no one at
Balamb wanted to talk to us after we made Selphie explode and Zell bawl
his eyes out." She looked down a bit upset.
"Don't worry, babe, we don't need them –-"
BAM. Irvine crashed face first into the rusted metal ground as a tiny
chicobo with a giant hammer kweh'ed happily.
"OH MY HYNE!" The cowboy's girlfriend leaped backwards and started to
scurry out the exit. Three other chicobos flew from nowhere, all with
over sized wooden hammers. The girl ran and ran, while sprinkles of tears
few behind her. A pink chicobo dove in front of her and slammed the
hammer into her pale face, knocking her out with her boyfriend in the
world of unconsciousness.

Seifer was the last to wake up of the twenty - nine scattered bodies in
the metal cramped up room. He couldn't remember much at all, and his last
sight was an image of an annoying tiny chicobo fluttering happily by his
head. He puts his hands in his face while asking himself what going on.
He grumbled.
"Hey, Seifer's awake now, ya know?"
"SEIFER."
Fujin and Rajin were wedged on either side of Seifer, and were one of the
many clumps formed around the room. While some girls like Rinoa, Ellone,
Xu, Raine, Julia, and Dr. Kadowaki were comforting a weeping chocoboy,
others like Laguna, Edea, Quistis, Kiros, Ward, and Nida were observing
the room, trying to figure out where they were.
"Question." Seifer moaned as he grasped onto something extremely
uncomfortable around his neck. He saw that everyone else in the room has
a thick metal collar – like object strapped around their necks, "What's
with these metal things, where are we, and why the hell aren't we scared
shit of Ultimecia over there muttering curses in the corner?"
Ellone was the first to reply, "This room looks really familiar... I'm
pretty sure we're in the storage room in the Esthar Air Ship... I'm almost
positive."
"Magic doesn't seem to work here, there's some sort of barrier here... like
in the D – District prison. Ultimecia is harmless." Quistis explained,
"It's impossible to escape, we've been trying for hours. Same with the
collars... they're glued to us."
Seifer groaned.
Ding. An annoying crow came from an intercom above the twenty nine.
"Captain Nini speaking. Thank you for flying Nimi Esthar Airlines. We are
approaching our destination and will be landing shortly—"
"We're flying?" Nida asked.
"NINI!! LOOK AT WHERE YOU'RE FLYING, YOU DUMBASS!! WHAT IF ZELL GET'S
HURT?! .... Zelly, hun, I love you..!!!" A different voice screeched in the
background.
"I LOVE ZELL MORE!!" Nini yelled.
Zell turned bright red.
"NO, I DO!!" They could now here crashing in the control room. The
storage room shook uncontrollably for the next twenty seconds until...
"WANNA GO?! HUH?! PUNK?! BRING IT!"
CRASH. Nini's voice came back onto the intercom, "We have landed safely...
well, hopefully most of you survived. Thank you for your cooperation, and
please remain seated until further directions."
"Uh... well... that was..." Laguna started.
"Interesting..." Xu finished. "AAAHH!"
Everyone turned to see that headmaster Cid, who was tied up in a ball
from head to toe with pink hair bands and elastics, was thrown into Xu by
a mob of chicobos from above. Immediately, all SeeDs started untying him
and soon a giant T.V. floated down from the ceiling. It turned on by
itself, and a familiar face appeared on the screen. Everyone turned to
watch.
"Congrazulations. You all have veen chozen to participate in Mimi and
Nini's game of Battle Royale. You are all probably vandering vat iz going
on. Vell, let me explain." The person on the T.V. started to talk.
"Doctor Odine..." Kiros remembered.
"Yes, zat iz correct, Kiros. You all have veen placed on ze Island
Closest to Heaven. It iz about ten kilometers around. Ze goal iz to fight
zer way out, and in ze end, only vun person shall zurvive."
"This has got to be a joke." The pig tail girl said in monotone,
clutching her arms around Irvine's. Cid seemed to be unaware of things
too.
"Ze Island is divided up into many zones. Every six hourz, Nini or Mimi
vill broadcast updates on vich zones are danger zones. If you are in zoze
zones, you vetter leavez it quickly..." Odine cackled, "Vell, you are
probably all vondering about ze necklaces around zer necks. Zeze are my
own creation. Zey are 100% zockproof, vaterproof, permenant, and best of
zem all, majik proof. It vill monitor zer pulse, informingz us of zer
locationz and movements. Zo if you linger in a danger zone or causez ze
trouble, ve can identify you, transmit radio vaves, trigger ze alarm and
BOOM. You vill EXPLODE! If you trize to rip it off vonce you are on ze
Island, or try to escape ze Island, it vill explode too, zo promise not
to do zat, okay?"
Everyone in the room was shaking frighteningly.
"How... could... they..." Rinoa trembled as her and Ellone were clinged into
eachother.
"Zere iz vun more catch. Zis event vill last onzy zree days, and if zere
iz no vinner, all ze necklaces vill automatically explode! Let'z fight
hard zo zat zat doesn't happen!" The doctor looked insane, "You vill all
leave zis room vun by vun and pick up a bag. Inside zis bag vill be a
bottle of vater, a map, a compass, a flashlight, and a perhaps a veapon!
Each veapon is completely random; zey could be from a pipe to a spoon.
But zere is only twenty five of zem, so five vill be left veaponless!
Battle Royale Eight vill begin shortly, zo listen for zer name az it vill
be called." The doctor smiled walked out of the screen.
AN: Oh dear! It seems that we have seduced Doctor Odine into our plan of killing everyone. ^^; Tehe. Well thanks so much for all reviewers! I'll wait till I get more till I put up the next chapter!
