Chapter 13
Close Encounter
Eve was sitting in the library studying for an exam coming up when she realized that Blade's birthday was yesterday. Why should I care? He's just another worthless fighter. Mine is coming up too…sweet sixteen… She thought and then turned back to her studies. She had to learn the different types of magic's that were used in the world. Now let's see, Firaga: level three magic good against water and ice types, bad for fire types. Ultima, a very powerful magic full of poison, Apocalypse…latest new magic ever to be discovered. The only wielder of this power was the last sorceress, Ultimecia. Hmm…the one who my parents had destroyed. She looked up to see the headmistress come walking up with a handful of books. She walked over to the shelf and then she lost her footing and the books slipped out of her hand.
"Damn." Edea muttered angrily. The headmistress looked over to the student and smiled, "Can you please help me?"
"I'm busy." Eve replied coldly.
"Excuse me?" Edea asked in shock.
"You heard me. I have nothing more to say." Eve said. She got out of the chair and walked off, yet before she left, "There's a book behind you, don't fall over it."
Edea, the loving and caring teacher was fuming mad at what that student had said. Then she remembered that this was Dava Icehart a new undergraduate who had enrolled five months ago. She was a strange one, though. Edea finished her business with the new books and walked out to the infirmary.
Dr. Kodawaki sat behind her desk, scanning her computer and sipping a cup of coffee. Edea walked and smiled. She sat down and sighed.
"Is something the matter, dear?" Dr. Kadowaki asked.
"I just had an encounter with one of the rudest young woman ever." Edea started.
"Who?"
"I think her name is Dava Icehart." Edea replied.
"Oh, I remember her. She usually found herself here exhausted after fighting nonstop battles with the monsters at the training center. Sooner or later when I come to check up on her she's already gone. She is a strange one and if you ask me, she is special too."
"Do you think so, Catharine?" Edea asked.
"Maybe, but tell that husband of yours to keep an eye on her." Catharine said, "Do you want some coffee?"
"No, I have a class in about twenty minutes. I better get going, thanks anyway." Edea answered.

1 A month later…
"Squall?" Rinoa started.
"Yeah?"
"Do you know why we are here?" she asked curiously. Riva started to tug on Rinoa's hair and she placed him into Squalls hands. He looked at his son and then at his wife, the surprise swelled in his eyes.
"Just don't drop him, all right?" Rinoa said with a giggle.
"Well, back to your question, Cid says that the GF's have chosen three of the students that have enrolled here. Now there's a problem with Edea, she gets these wave energies and she blacks out afterwards. She assumes that there is a sorceress working her power." Said Squall.
"But that's not possible, I'm the last one, well Ultimecia was, but I don't use my power." Rinoa said deep in thought.
"I know, but they say it's more powerful then yours." Squall added.
They walked into the Garden and several people stopped in awe. Squall guessed that he wasn't forgotten, yet it wasn't him who saved the world, it was the whole entire gang. Some one then shouted, "It's SQUALL LEONHART AND RINOA LEONHART!!!" Rinoa started to laugh as the young students formed a group around them.
"Can we have your autographs? " one asked.
"Is that your son?"
"Oh, he's so adorable, what's his name?" a girl questioned.
"Mrs. Leonhart, can we please see your ultimate weapon?"
"Mr. Squall, sir, how about your famous gun blade, can we see that one? You know it's the only one ever made!" a young cadet said with enthusiasm. Rinoa looked at Squall and began to laugh, "All right, one question at a time. This here baby boy, is Riva Leonhart." Rinoa got a bunch of "awws" from the crowd. Satisfied she continued, "I have my ultimate weapon with me, but the gun blade has been left at home." Rinoa lied.
"Why would the hero, leader of Garden forget to leave his sword?" another asked.
"Because… my daughter has it." Squall replied, "But don't worry, everyone will get a chance to see it soon."
"Everyone! There are classes waiting for you." A voice rang from behind. It was Edea and she watched all the students quickly disperse and leave.
"Oh, Squall and Rinoa! It's so good to see you both again. I hope the house down in Centra Plains has kept you happy." Edea said. Rinoa ran to Edea and hugged her while Squall came walking up.
"It's your turn." Squall said and handed Riva over to Rinoa, he then gave Matron a hug.
"Come on, we have rooms ready for you." Edea said.
* * *
Eve was looking in the mirror and noticed that her hair was graying in several places. What the hell?! I'm sixteen and graying? Is something wrong with me? Gwena came walking into the bathroom to see Dava looking at her hair.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"Nothing."
"Anyway, did you hear about the new guests?" Gwena asked. Eve shrugged as she walked out to grab a glass of water. Gwena followed and plopped down on the sofa.
"Well, some of the students are saying that the famous Squall Leonhart, his wife Rinoa, and son cam here to stay a bit." Gwena went on talking as Eve froze in fright. Her glass fell to the floor and broke into crystal shards. Her parents were here?!! Gwena looked at the now shaking Dava.
"Dava, what's wrong?" Gwena asked. She was a bit scared herself; Dava never looked so scared in her life. Her face had gone pale and the life seemed to drain out of her eyes and replaced by the look of doom.
"Dava?" Gwena asked again, she stood up and put a hand on Dava's shoulder. The touch of Dava's skin was icy cold and she kept on shaking vaguely as if coming to her senses.
"I'm fine." Eve said in a low tone of voice. Gwena swore that it sounded more like an angry growl. Something stirred within Gwena's body, as if she wanted to challenge Dava, but her will power stopped it from rising. Dava left and shut the door, while Gwena sat down on the sofa wondering what had come over her just then.
* * *
Eve stomped off toward the training center angrily. They are not supposed to be here! Do they know that I'm here? Do they plan to take me back? NEVER! Never…
Eve arrived at the training center and slipped Silveraine out of her cover. She ended up fighting a T-rex and she slashed it to pieces.
* * *
Edea, Cid, Squall, and Rinoa sat down in the headmaster's office and were talking about their uprising problems.
"Seifer's son, Dark Blade has been chosen by Leviathan, Vanyel Kinease, was chosen by Ifrit, and Miss. Gwena Trepe who was chosen by Shiva." Cid explained.
"These three are children of our friends. Do you think…" Rinoa started. Edea and Cid nodded.
"Not only that Seifer has disappeared again. His son told us a few weeks ago, right now Zell's friend, Bobbi, is running the Pub & Inn." Cid added.
"Well, what about these power waves that keep knocking you out Edea?" Rinoa asked.
"Yes, I've been meaning to talk to you, since you're the last sorceress, I want you to trace the wave lengths when the next ones hit. If you can trace them, then we will know where this sorceress is and how we can get our hands on her or him." Edea explained.
"Can you do that?" Cid asked Rinoa.
"Yes, Edea taught me a few things and so did Ellone. By the way, how is Ellone?"
"I'm better then ever." She said as she came in through the office doors. "When I heard that you both arrived, I just had to stop by." Ellone replied with a heartwarming smile. Zell came walking behind and gave a shout when he saw Squall standing there. He ran over to Squall and gave him a hug.
"My Gods! Look at you two! Um.. sorry for that little hug there." Zell said sheepishly.
"It's all right. How have you been?" Squall asked.
"Well, Ellone and I have a store in Balamb town and I'm Garden's Weapon master and Teacher."
"What do you mean, Ellone and you?" Rinoa asked.
"What you didn't know that Ellone and I are married? We have a son too. I wrote that all in the letter I sent to you both." Zell said.
"We didn't get anything…" Squall started but was distracted when Rinoa hugged Ellone and Zell.
"Congratulations! Why didn't you guys invite us?"
"Well, I wanted a small wedding, Laguna was there to see that it was so. Nothing fancy. I'm sorry…" Ellone said guiltily.
"It's O.K. I guess but I hope you have pictures." Rinoa said with a smile. Ellone nodded and began to chat on with what had happened since they all parted.
Edea screamed and fell from her chair holding her head. Rinoa held her head too and put barrier shields on herself and Edea. Edea gasped in relief and sat up with the help of Cid and Ellone.
"I can feel the waves pounding on the shields." Edea said, "It's never been so powerful like this."
"I feel them too…" Rinoa murmured.
"Can you trace them?" Cid asked.
"Yes, but I'll have to take the shield off of me." Rinoa said.
"No." Squall said firmly, "I won't let you hurt yourself."
"I won't dear, I'm stronger then you think." Said Rinoa.
Squall looked around the room and sighed, "I don't like it one bit, but go ahead and be careful." Rinoa nodded and the red shell that entombed her evaporated.
Rinoa felt the raw energy flow through her. Her face was set in a firm grim. So angry… she explored further and further…you seem so familiar…like you are connected to me in some way…where are you? Several minutes passed by as she searched the world, yet the pulse was weak there. She shortened her ground searches until she was searching the Balamb Island. You are nearby… a vision popped into her head; everything was blurry and she saw a person battling a monster. A T-rex by the blurry shape and size…then Rinoa saw it vanish and the power waves ceased to exist. The vision began to fade and she saw the person look up toward her direction. Yet the picture faded before Rinoa could realize who this was or what this person looked like. N she awoke and took her shield off Edea. She fell back and tried to stand up and Squall helped. Rinoa sat down in the chair and sighed.
"What did you see?" Edea asked.
"I saw her…I think it was a woman by the blurry shape she was in. She was fighting a T-Rex and she killed it instantly."
"Do you know where this sorceress is located?" Zell asked.
"You won't believe it, she's right under our very noses. She's here, somewhere on Balamb Island." Rinoa answered.
* * *
Eve slashed through her opponent and it disappeared. Pathetic, why can't there be a stronger enemy then a T-rex? Eve felt like someone was watching her and she looked around and searched. The eyes felt so familiar…she looked up to see a fading sapphire blue fade from the corner. Magic…
