Ohayoo gozaimasu=Good morning

***SERENITY'S POV***

Today is the field exam, and I am so nervous. I'm not sure on what I should do, should I use my senshi powers or just use my gunblade. I think I will use my gunblade and use my senshi powers as a sense of back up.

Right now, I am standing on the main floor corridor with a few other students. I am practically the only female beside another girl and the rest were guys. Just then, Headmaster Cid came in with a few selected SeeDs.

"We, Balamb Garden are proud to send you in-training SeeDs to represent us in other nations," stated Cid proudly! "Your obligation is to protect all causalities and follow your Captains order at all times. Now I had over the team lists to Instructor Trepe!"

"You will all be divided into two groups categorized A and B. Group A will be Kitty Fatin, Edward Thearault and your squad leader is James Logan. Group B will consist of Charles Judge, Michael Breen and your squad leader Serenity Moonshine," explained Instructor Trepe! "Now, everybody head to the Quad and use the vehicles to go too Balamb's Dock!"

I nodded and told my squad to follow me in an orderly fashion. When we got to the Quad, we got into the car and headed to Balamb.

***BALAMB DOCK***

After about ten minutes of driving we finally reached Balamb Dock and went into one of the many ships. Inside, we took a seat and waited for further instructions. After a few minutes a SeeD with dark brown shoulder length hair walked in and stood in front of us.

"Ohayoo gozaimasu, I am Xu the SeeD in charge of your briefing," started Xu! "Each group will have a different object. Group A will be in charge of helping Group C in keeping up the front. Group B will be in charge of keeping the citizens and everything in Sector 2.1 (Dollet Bar) in order. You are to make sure that monsters do not reach the citizens. We will send a messenger to retrieve you. We will be arrive in a few moments time, so prepare for battle right away, sayonara and good luck."

Moments later, the ships landed in Dollet and students shuffled out.

"Group B, as your leader you are to follow me and listen to me respectively. Now, I want you to ready yourselves and take the lead behind me, while we head to our Sector," I announced!

I waved my hand for them to follow and took out my gunblade.

Time passed, when finally my squad reached the bar and we went inside. Inside, everything was crowded, the smell of alcohol and cigarettes lingered in the room, from days before. People were scattered to different areas drinking or socializing with others.

"Judge, I want you and Breen to make sure that nothing enters through the back door and windows. I will make sure no one enters through the front, now min'na spread out," I commanded!
Then we split up and went to our locations. I opened the door and waited for any un-welcomed intruders. I noticed students passing by heading towards the center of Dollet or elsewhere.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw movement. It looked like to be a grat or something. I decided to take the offensive and defeat it. I rushed at it, using the speed I gained for being a reincarnated Lunarian princess. I took out my gunblade and attacked, it went down quickly. Demo, I realized when that one went down, more appeared along with a few enemy soldiers. I knew I had to ask the others for back up.

"Judge, Breen we have a situation here," I shouted to them and they immediately rushed out!

"What do you need us to do," asked Judge, who already had on his fighting gloves?

"Defeat all enemies, make sure nothing gets pass," I demanded in a commanding voice!

"Right ma'am," they both said! They started attacking and I was right behind them with my gunblade.

Judge and Breen were taking down 1 to 2 monsters at a time, while I was taking down triple the amount because I had more experience. Just then, more monsters appeared and decided to use my senshi powers, and then heal my squad after wards.

"MERCURY ICE DISCUS," I shouted and the attacked sliced through all the monsters! I turned around to find Breen and Judge gaping at me.

"Now, hold still while I heal you. PASSION REGENERATION," I said while healing the others and myself!

After I finished healing them I realized how much energy I used. Behind me I heard footsteps and exhausted turned, I prepared to attack. Demo, I realized it was one of the other students delivering a message.

"An order to withdrawal has been set for all groups to return to the shore," said the messenger, then he left to go find other groups!

"Alright, fall out and let's head back," I breathed heavily and I told them to go on a head of me!

Moments pass, when I finally reached the shore and Xu helped me inside.

"Are you hurt," asked Xu?

"No, demo I am exhausted from healing my group and I'll be okay after some rest," I smiled weakly!

"Report," said Xu!

"At our post things started out slowly, demo a whole swarm a monsters attacked. When defeated them, I healed the group, that why I am so exhausted and then we headed out," I explained!

"Rest up for now, and then head up towards the second floor classroom, whispered Xu patting me on the shoulder and then she went over to talk to the rest of the group!

Time slowly passed, demo we finally arrived at the Balamb Dock, again. News spread quickly that Edward Thearault died due to poison in Group A. Anyways I don't want to talk about death, not after what happened to Min'na-chan. I whispered this to myself as we left to head back to the Garden.

***SECOND FLOOR, END POV***

The students were all waiting impatiently for representative to tell whom the select students are who passed. In the corner of the other side of the room Serenity was fidgeting nervously and thinking to herself. 'What if I didn't pass? What if I lost tons of points and what would Seif-chan say?'

Just then Zell came in and everyone stopped moving. "Would Charles Judge, Michael Breen, Kitty Fatin and Serenity Moonshine head up to the third floor classroom!"

The students' head headed up and Serenity saw Zell smile cheekily at her, "Baka baca," she muttered!

***Headmaster Cid's Office***

The new SeeD's waited patiently for Cid to give out our SeeD ranks. However, we knew that he had to saw a speech about the goodness of being representative of the Garden.

"As a SeeD member, you will be paid a salary at regular intervals. The salary is determined by your SeeD rank. SeeD rank goes up according to your actions in battle, but some actions will cause your rank to go down. Now, to give out your SeeD ranks," explained Cid!

He gave out the ranks and whispered something into each of their ears. Finally he came to Serenity and whispered, "finally a female gunblade specialist!"

The new SeeD Cadets saluted Headmaster Cid and exited his office, when boarding the elevator, some decided to open their SeeD ranks, but Serenity wanted to wait until she exited the elevator. When getting off the elevator Serenity was about open her rank, but heard a loud voice saying "Serenity!" and was hugged from behind. Serenity protested with a small shriek, but stopped when she recognized the chuckle.

"Seifer," said Serenity Narrowing her eyes! "Don't do that!"

"Gomen, I couldn't resist," laughed Seifer! "So, what rank did you get?"

"I was about to check, before I was so rudely interrupted," teased Serenity, while Seifer smiled innocently! "Well, here goes nothing!"

CONDUCT 70 points
JUDGEMENT 30 points
ATTACK 70 points
SPIRIT 80 points
ATTITUDE 50 points
SeeD Rank 9

"Hey, you did as good as me," smiled Seifer happily! "That means you did better than Lionheart did on his SeeD exam! This calls for a moment to celebrate!"

"I'd have to pass you up on that offer," said Serenity, but she didn't miss that sad look on his face! "I need to go to the Infirmary, you can come with me if you want, but it'll probably be very boring."

Seifer just grinned and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "Sure, I'd do anything for you!"

Serenity smiled gratefully and snuggled into Seifer as they walked to the Infirmary.





Here are the attacks Serenity used in this chapter.

NAME: Mercury Ice Discus

EFFECT: Slices through almost anything, potentially deadly to most opponents.

DISCRIPTION: Small but deadly this disc of ice can be thrown with great accuracy and speed. It is incapable of cutting Mercury (or Cosmos), which explains why she can hold it without risk.


NAME: Passion Regeneration

EFFECT: Heals herself and other soldiers.

DISCRIPTION: Beams of light create a dome around Venus (or Cosmos) that both shields her from an attack and allows her to heal. As with other healing moves it can't be used once her energy has fallen below a certain point.

AN: Cool moves aren't they, I decided to make new moves, but only Cosmos or Serenity can use them. I know it isn't fair to the other senshi, but hey this is my story, right, so I can do anything I want. Well got to go, Ja!
