Chapter 3

"Let's go find where Squall is…" said Robert. "Remember we transferred so we have to act like SeeD's." Amy nodded. They walked around the Garden to explore first, and then they stopped at the directory to see where they were going.

"I just hope those Outcasts aren't already here…" He then saw a blonde haired woman who was dressed up in a higher looking SeeD uniform. "Maybe she can tell us where to go…"

"Excuse me…" asked Amy politely.

"Yes?"

"We are transferring here and need to speak with the headmaster. Could you tell us where his office is please?"

"Well I am headed there myself but I need to stop by the library. Could you wait for about 10 minutes? Because you can't go to the headmaster's level without authorization." Robert and Amy nodded.

"Your name Ms.?" asked Robert.

"Instructor Trepe." The blond said smiling then walked off to the library.

The 2 teenagers put their bags down and sat down on the bench that was right in front of the library. They were just about to relax when both of them suddenly sat straight up and looked at each other. At that precise moment there were a bunch of people shouting in the entrance of the Garden. They immediately ran to the location and were just in time to see a bulk man throw down a student.

"You stupid kid, watch where you are going!" he snarled. A friend of the fallen SeeD helped him up while shouting at the man and 2 of his friends that were twins.

"What is your problem huh? He said he was sorry!" Suddenly he was gripped in the face and thrown into the air. He yelled as he landed into the pond in the center of the garden.

"Enough!" shouted a tall blonde.

"And what are you going to do about it if we don't?" asked one of the men. The blonde stepped forward cracking his knuckles.

"I will put you down," he said.

"Come then and let us see you back up those meaningful words," said the bulky man. The blonde charged at him just as Instructor Trepe shouted as she tried to get though.

"Zell stop!" But Zell didn't hear her and punched the man directly in the stomach making him take a step back. Zell looked at his face and was surprised.

"He's… smiling?!" thought Zell. Zell then hit him several more times followed by a kick to the head, but the reaction was still the same. Zell then fell to the floor as the man punched him in the chin. The marital artist quickly got back up and punched him once more, but this time something was different. Zell watched in horror as his opponent seemed to get bigger and bigger! Zell was then punched even harder in the face that nearly knocked him unconscious. He then felt himself being picked up and found out that he was high above his opponents head. The bulky man then stuck his right leg out.

"Oh my god he is going to kill him!" thought Quistis in a panic.

"Let me through!" screamed Quistis. She watched in horror as the man began to bring Zell's back onto his leg when he stopped in mid air. He suddenly took a sniff in the air and looked at him comrades.

"Hunters!" he snarled. He suddenly threw back his head and screamed in pain as 4 arrows pierced his arms and shoulders. Suddenly blood began to run down the corner of his mouth as the man looked down and saw a young boy who had just stabbed him with a dagger! He threw Zell aside and put both hands on the teenager's shoulders. Then with all his might he pushed away from him, but the boy merely stepped a few steps back.

"Take him out Robert!" shouted Amy who had her bow ready in her hand. Robert suddenly went into a charge that the man could barely see. Robert all of a sudden halted his charge as the bulky mans 2 friends swooped past him. One of them jumped into the air and attempted to kick him, but Robert sidestepped out of the way and kicked his side making him back off in pain. The two then ran in circles around Robert so fast that he didn't know where they were coming from.

"Hold them off Robert… Give me time to analyze them…" thought Amy as she readied her bow and arrow. Robert was suddenly punched weakly in the face that made him furious.

"Hey! If your gonna hit and run at least make it hurt a little!" He shouted. Right after that he was struck in the back by what felt like a bat. "Owww… That hurt…" He then made a wild guess and attacked but hit nothing but air. He was then struck in the stomach and was hit in the knees making him kneel.

"Any time now shorty!" thought Robert as he got up.

He quickly blocked an attack then jumped out of the way as a bat came but as he recovered the bulky man had plucked out all of the arrows from his body and struck Robert in the stomach with all of his strength making all of the air from Robert's lungs come out. Robert was stunned for a moment but recovered and dodged another punch just in time. He flipped backwards to recover his breath but he saw the 2 others that were headed right for him.

"I got you!" shouted Amy. She fired her arrow that one of the brothers who easily dodged it but soon found another arrow impale his foot. "I know your movement now…" The twin plucked out the arrow and ran at her hitting her twice before she kicked him making him stagger back and then she fired arrow after arrow into his chest while moving towards him until he was pinned against the wall lifeless. She jumped backwards from a huge punch that made a crater in the wall. Robert took out 4 daggers from his back pouch and threw them at the last twin who dodged them barely but didn't have time to dodge the attacks that were coming right at him. In a blink of an eye Robert had delivered 10 destructive punches that made the twin spit out blood. He began to run out of the Garden but was put down after Robert had drawn his gun and shot 5 bullets into him. He was about to turn to his previous opponent but was caught in a tight bear hug that made him drop his weapon as he grunted in pain. Amy had shot 6 arrows into the mans back making him let go of Robert. Robert immediately took out 2 daggers crossed his arms inward and in a flash brought them outwards slitting the man's neck.

Robert soon collapsed onto the ground as Quistis ran up to him.

"Are you alright?" she asked. He nodded slowly. "Dr. Kadawaki we need your help over-"

"No its okay let her take care of the other students first." Said Robert. Amy walked up to him and laid her hand on his shoulder.

"You okay?" she asked with concern.

"I feel like I was hit in the stomach by a steal pipe…"

"You probably did…" she said looking at the man Robert had just killed. By now he had shrunk to his normal size. "Good job by the way." Robert nodded.

"What the hell happened here Quistis?!" said a man with a scar between his eyes who was followed by a woman with black hair. Quistis started to talk to him in silence. "All of you students get to class!" The crowd dispersed immediately.

"Squall those are 2 transfer students that took down those 3 intruders themselves." Said Quistis. "Squall I also need to talk to you in private later about what happened here." Squall nodded and walked up to the teenagers.

"My name is Commander Squall Leonhart." He said. "Thank you for what you have done." They both stood up slowly and saluted. Robert who was still recovering could hardly stand with his shaking legs from the damage he sustained. Squall saw this and told them to rest in the infirmary and that he would talk to them shortly. They nodded and Amy helped Robert to their destination where Zell and the 2 other students were being carried to on stretchers.

"So Quistis?" started Squall. "What happened?" Rinoa who was also interested also stayed behind.

"I don't' know entirely Squall. I mean those kids are really amazing taking down 3 enemies that Zell couldn't take down. Zell must be 4 or 5 years older then that boy and the boy proved he was almost twice as strong as him. It seems quite strange to me Squall." Squall nodded and listened as Quistis continued to tell him the events that took place.

"Lets go talk to them right now and maybe we might find some answers." Said Squall. The three of them entered the infirmary to talk to the new transfers.
