Yo, yo, forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last, won't last, won't last...
Another song of Linkin Park's, this one is from "Points of Authority" from their album, 'Hybrid Theory'.
A/N: Thanx for the 2nd review from my only reviewer so far (chichiri's girl)! You will finally find out who he chose, so don't hurt me!! Please???? So I hope you like who Squall choses!
A CHILD HERO
CHAPTER 3 - TIME TO LEAVE, SO SAY YOUR GOODBYES
A/N: last time I wrote, Squall was about to decide who to take with him to timber. He had already chosen his first person (Shayne) and was about to choose the second. If you really wanna find out who he chose, stop reading this and read the story! R&R!
"The 2nd person is." Squall started to say. There was silence for a few seconds. ".Is.[sigh] Zell" Squall said.
"YEAH! SWEET!" Zell screamed with glee.
"Oh." Quistis said. "Well, it's your choice! You can have who you want!" Quistis said, trying not to be sad.
"Well, you guys have a good time, ok?" Selphie said, still hugging with Irvine.
"Good for you! Kill some guys for me, will ya?!" Irvine said. Squall nodded.
"So, Shayne, Zell, be ready in the morning at 0800 hours, ok?" Squall ordered them, they nodded. "And now, can you please get out of my house?" Squall asked them, trying to be as nice as he could at that moment. They all nodded and left. "Time to get some rest" Squall said, yawning, stretching out his arms.
"Yeah, I'm tired too, but you are forgetting one thing. WE STILL HAVE TO EAT!!" Rinoa screamed.
"Oh, right. Hehehe! Sorry!" Squall said. They ate and about an hour later, they went to bed.
The next day...
It is 7 o'clock in the morning. Squall is lying in bed, Shayne is also lying in bed. They are both sleeping. Rinoa is the only one awake. Rinoa is making breakfast. On the stove, in a pan, was bacon and eggs. Rinoa was whistling away, cooking. The only sound in the house was her whistling and the sizzling of bacon and eggs. And in the background you could hear, softly, some snoring.
Meanwhile, Zell is just waking and it is 7:03am. Zell yawns then gets out of bed. He walks into the bathroom and takes off his pyjamas and turns on the shower. After his shower the time was 7:26am. He put on his clothes and stumbled into the kitchen and had some breakfast, hotdogs actually, then started to get his junctions, weapons and magic ready.
"Yep, I have my Ehrgeiz, my magic; curaga, Ultima, etc. GF's... oh, right Squall has those, hey!? Whoa!! Look at the time!!" he said looking at his clock in the kitchen. "7:59??? I better get over to Squalls!!" Zell said rushing out of his home, not hesitating to take another hotdog.
"Oh, man! How could I get up so late?!" Squall yelled trying to get ready as-fast-as-possible.
"[Yawn] man, I'm so tired!" Shayne said walking slowly into the kitchen.
"Shayne! There's bacon and eggs on the bench, take some" Rinoa told Shayne.
"YEAH! Bacon and eggs!! Oh, man!! Thanks mum!" Shayne said, suddenly waking up.
"Man, food always does it!" Rinoa said quietly.
[Knock, knock]
"Hey, anyone, home!?" Zell yelled standing at the front door.
"COMING!!" Rinoa yelled from the kitchen, getting up and walking to the door and opening it to see Zell standing there in his 'everyday' clothes. "Hey Zell, come in" Rinoa invited him in.
"Thanks!" Zell thanked her.
"Hey Zell!" Shayne called out from the kitchen whilst eating his breakfast.
"Hey Shayne!" Zell called out walking into the kitchen. He looked at the clock on the wall and the time it said on it was 7:57am.
"Hey! Why does your clock say 7:57 and mine say 8:02??!" Zell asked, looking at his watch, which was exactly in line with his clock at home.
"You made your clock 5 minutes faster, remember? So you wouldn't be late for stuff?" Squall told Zell walking into the kitchen.
"Oh, yeah! I forgot about that! Thanks for reminding me!" Zell said. "So, like when are we gonna leave?" Zell asked.
"As soon as everyone is ready" Squall said.
"Well, we better hurry up. The next train to timber leaves in half an hour!" Zell informed them.
"I wasn't planning on taking the train, Zell" Squall started.
"Oh, no, your not gonna.but you know that.we cant take it, ever since Selphie.man I don't even wanna think about it" Zell said.
"Well, it's the only way we can get there apart from train. And we can't make the 8:29am train. We have to take Ragnarok" Squall said.
"But you know the amount of money we have to pay to use that! Do you have any idea how much it is to get fuel!? And Selphie, I don't even want to mention what happened that time!" Zell yelled. "
Look, Selphie won't be there! I will be flying and I will NOT do what Selphie does, ok?" Squall tried to reassure him. "And besides, since I'm the captain of garden, I am able to take Ragnarok anytime I want, remember?" Squall asked. "Oh, yeah, now I remember!" Zell said remembering.
Well, they finished getting ready; Squall got his 'Lionheart' and his magic and junction the GF's; Quezacotl, Griever, Doomtrain and Brothers. Shayne got his 'Flame Sabre' his magic and junctioned the GF's; Alexander, Bahamut, Shiva and Eden. Squall gave Zell Ifrit, Tonberry, Carbuncle, Diablos and Pandemona. They each had their fair share of magic junctioned.
(8:07am) "Well now, we all junctioned? Got our weapons?" Zell and Shayne nodded. "Then lets go! Rinoa, take care of yourself, and yes, I will make sure Shayne is ok, ok?" Squall said.
"Thanks" Rinoa replied. "And take care of yourself, I cant take care of a child without a husband, you know!?" Rinoa said. "And if I don't have a child when you come back, I'm gonna kill you!" Rinoa warned.
"I'll see you in a couple of days ok? BYE!" Squall said grabbing his weapon and starting to walk out of the door.
"Bye mum!" Shayne said hugging Rinoa. "I'm gonna miss you, but I'll take care of myself" Shayne told her.
"And make sure your father doesn't get into much trouble, ok?" she asked. Shayne nodded then walked to grab his gunblade, which was leaning against the lounge.
"See ya Rinoa! Ill take care of Shayne and Squall for ya!" Zell said.
Rinoa stared at him then said "Squall take care of yourself and Shayne you too" Rinoa said.
"Oh, man!" Zell said hanging his head.
"Hehehe!" Shayne laughed.
"Well we gotta go or timber will be gone! See ya!" Squall said walking out the door. Shayne and Zell said good bye and then left.
(At the Ragnarok)
"You flying Squall?" Zell asked.
"Nope" Squall replied.
"Then who is!!" Zell screamed.
".Selphie!" Squall said trying not to laugh.
"WHAT!?? NO WAY! YOU SAID SHE WOULDNT BE HERE! I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU LET HER FLY THE RAGNAROK! PLEASE DON'T LET HER, I'LL DO ANYTHING! ANYTHING!" Zell pleaded, while Squall and Shayne were laughing their heads of.
"Calm down, hahaha, calm, down would ya? I'm just joking!" Squall told him.
"DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN OR I'LL KILL YOU!" Zell screamed.
"I'd like to see you try!" Squall said laughing. "Aarrrgggh! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!" Zell jumped in the air getting his 'meteor strike' ready.
"Whoa! You are fired up!" Squall said. He grabbed his gunblade ready to block the attack then something hit Zell.
"OUCH! THAT HURT! WHO DID THAT!?" Zell screamed.
"SHAYNE! Don't do that!" Squall screamed at Shayne.
"Sorry, but he was getting annoying!" Shayne told him.
"Oh, ok then. And Zell, shut up!" Squall said.
"Oh, dad I have to go and do something, ill be back in five, k?" Shayne told his father.
"Where you going?" Squall asked.
"Just to say bye to a friend of mine" Shayne told him "nowhere special" Shayne left, running towards Balamb.
Shayne reached a little house. He knocked on the door. A few moments later a beautiful girl opened the door, she stood there, wearing a blue robe, tied up. She had long dark black hair, blue eyes, and she was 5'7". "Shayne!?" the girl said surprised. "What are you doing here, this early?" she asked him.
"I came to say goodbye," Shayne told her.
"What? 'Goodbye'? Are you dying!?" she asked, scared that he was going to die or something. Shayne shook his head.
"No" Shayne told her, "I'm going to timber, I have to go and fight" he told her.
"Why?" she asked.
"Because I want to, I have to, and, it'll be good training" he said.
"But, why do you have to go? What's happened in timber?" she asked.
"It is being invaded by a man named Karajan" he told her.
"Karajan? Have I heard that before?" she thought.
*Flashback* [Voices are echoey]
"Little girl, come here" a voice said. It was dark, you could barely see, there was a girl standing there looking around cautiously.
A/N: this girl is the one Shayne was talking to.
"Who said that?!" the girl asked, still looking around cautiously. She was in a cavern, there was a lot of fire around, but you could still barely see.
"Oh, I am terribly sorry, let me introduce myself" the man said, then a figure walked in from out of nowhere. He was wearing a black coat, sunglasses, he had a hat on and a handkerchief tied around his mouth. "I am Karajan, your worst nightmare!" he yelled then charged at her.
"Aahhhhhh!!" she yelled then someone appeared next to her. "Huh? Who are.?" she started to ask.
"No time, hold on!!" he yelled then they both disappeared.
*End flashback*
"Yo, yo, you there!" Shayne said clicking his fingers in front of her face.
"Oh, sorry" she replied. "I was just thinking," she said.
"OK. So as I was saying, I'm leaving in about 3 minutes" he told her.
"What!? Why!? And your only telling me now!?" she screamed.
"I didn't have enough time between yesterday, and this morning. I only found out last night!" Shayne told her.
"Fine. But don't die, I wouldn't be able to live without my boyfriend!" she told him.
A/N: By now you should know it is if you read the 1st chapter.
"Taria, please. I know you don't want me to go. But, I want to fight. Well, I better get going. I will be back, I promise" Shayne reassured Taria.
"Goodbye" she said, then blowing him a kiss as he walked off, toward where Ragnarok was getting ready to take off.
"Shayne, you ready?" Squall asked from the cockpit of the Ragnarok.
"YES! IM COMING ABOARD NOW, OK!?" Shayne yelled back. He ran toward the entrance of the Ragnarok. He went straight to the cockpit to talk to Squall and Zell. "Hey dad, hey Zell. We ready to go?" Shayne asked walking into the cockpit.
"Yeah, you might wanna sit down and put on a seat belt" Squall told Shayne. Shayne nodded and went and sat down in a seat just across from where Zell was sitting. Squall started the Ragnarok and in a matter of seconds they were in the air on their way toward timber.
"Hey Shayne, uh, you do know what you are getting yourself into, don't you?" Zell asked.
"Zell, ill be fine, I'm probably even stronger than you!" Shayne joked. or told.
"Hey! How would you know, you've never fought me before! And." Zell yelled.
"Guys!" Squall said, cutting in. "stop fighting, we're almost there!" Squall told them. "Get ready. You got your weapons?" Squall asked.
"Yeah!" Shayne and Zell said in unison.
"Good, 'cause we're almost there!" Squall told them getting ready to get the control so they can easily get down to timber. "Zell, get the rope!" Squall ordered.
End of chapter 3! Hope ya liked it! R&R please. Next chapter should be up soon. Until then, C-YA!
