parents well that comes later. Probably in about two to three chapters
later! ^-^ *
1 Chapter 27
1.1 Destruction
The annoying sound of the clock woke Eve up out of a dreamless sleep. She opened her eyes and glanced at the timepiece, five a.m. Great! Now I'll be able to pulverize some monster ass. She slipped out of the cozy divan and walked over to the closet. She would have to carry light on this trip. She picked out somewhat baggy leather pants and her favorite shirt, which looked more like a sports bra. Once she got her outfit ready she slipped out into the dorm living room and quietly walked over to the bathroom. She passed Gwena's door and Eve swore that she heard her snoring.
After refreshing herself, she quickly got dressed and was furiously looking for her black boots when she heard Gwena passing her room.
"Good morning leader." Gwena blurted out. She was obviously asleep still, yet walking like a zombie. Hmm, I wonder if someone cast curse upon her? Oh well, now where in Bahamut's name are my boots!? Eve found them under her bed and she slipped them on. She checked her supplies and found that she had twelve phoenix downs, twenty potions, six remedies and a high potion. Not bad for someone who was on level 10.
Eve grabbed Silverraine and strapped it to her waist. While doing other things, she pondered if she should leave Lion heart.
: Take it with you. : Quezocotl interrupted, : You will need it later to unlock one of your limit breaks. :
: Really? Hmm… all right. :
Eve brought the aqua blade out and covered it with a sheath made exactly for it. She had bought the covering way back in Zell's weapon shop. He didn't ask her why she needed that type, but he only glanced at her with curiosity.
Once it was secured to her back, she walked out of her room and into the kitchen. Gwena came out of the bathroom a few minutes later.
"Hello Leader." She said sarcastically again and yawned, but Eve ignored her, "What time is it?"
"You have about twelve minutes before we meet Xu down at the lobby." Eve replied.
"What?! Oh shit! I have to get ready!" Gwena suddenly shouted out. She was awake now and Eve couldn't help but chuckle after Gwena ran into her room. Today she felt happy somewhat and her usual cold self.

It was already eight a.m. when Laguna sat in his office for another day for work. His son and daughter in law were leaving this afternoon to FH. Riva was going to stay with Ellone. That baby was getting stranger by the minute. One day he says dada Eve and then he says mama Eve. He definitely inherited some of Rinoa's powers, because the other day he blew a hole in the wall. He only threw his teddy bear because he was having a temper tantrum. For a kid who was almost two, he could walk, blow things up, and yet he hadn't started to talk in his simple sentences. Oh sometimes he would say that he was hungry or he needed to go to the bathroom, but nothing more.
"Hey dad, we came to talk to you." Squall said. Laguna turned to see Squall and Rinoa walking in.
"What about?"
"Well, it's about Eve." Squall started.
"Yeah, I think we know where she is." Rinoa added.
"Where?" Laguna demanded. He loved his granddaughter very much even though they hardly got to see each other.
"We got a letter from Zell, in Balamb. He said that he saw one of his prize students buying a sheath, which was made especially for Lion heart, my gunblade. It wasn't even for sale and yet this girl paid him a lot of gil and left without word." Squall explained.
"Are you sure?" Laguna inquired.
"Yeah he described her well except there were something's that she changed about herself and she was the famous under level girl who fought against a chimera." Rinoa explained, " I know that it's her. I can feel it."
"Well then you better take a trip to Balamb to retrieve her. There is a war looming over our heads and we don't know what the true cause is. Several towns and cities have been calling and complaining that there is a high monster rise and the number of death's are also on the rise." Laguna said firmly.
"Is it that close?" the wolf asked.
"Squall, you have no idea. It's starting to begin." Laguna whispered with worry.
"Squall, you go on to Balamb and I'll travel to FH to help out there." Rinoa suggested.
"I don't know about that, I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Hey, you're the one with out a weapon! I'm the one worrying." Rinoa countered.
"She's right, you know." The president added.
"All right." He submitted. Rinoa smile and kissed her husband on the cheek. Squall blushed a little and they left.

Hades watched his armies begin their journey to domination. Several towns would be crushed first, then the cities and then the world! He could feel the victory hanging over his head and the empress was pleased with the progress. The town of Seavron was almost in ruins and his minions were quickly killing off the last of that human population. All was going according to plan…
"Beloved?" Magama asked as she joined her fiancé at the table.
"Yes?"
"Have you ever heard of Balamb Garden? It is known for it's highly skilled soldiers and it was from there that the Sorceress killer came from. It might be so that he dwells there still." Magama explained.
"Yes, you are right. We must destroy the area and not let him escape. Send forth my Generals!" he commanded to one of the creatures standing at the doorway. Several minutes later twelve or so generals walked in. They were all about thirteen feet tall and muscular with different variety of fur colors on them. They were called the Lion Generals once in the first of the Sorceress wars. They came from 12 powered jewels domestically bred by Hyne. They were to protect her but they betrayed her in the end when they joined up with the evil Sorceress. Now that they were lost to the Great Hyne, she called upon the spirit GF Wolves. They helped protect their Goddess and they were known to lie dormant unless another evil arose to threaten Hyne.
One of the Generals, a muscular built with only one eyes, stepped foreword. His six tails whipped the air behind him while the only thing he wore was a shredded black cape.
"My liege, you have summoned us?" he spoke in a baritone voice.
"Ah, Molokai. Yes, I have summoned you from your duties, for I have plans to destroy another city. Head for the middle continent known as Balamb. Destroy the town and destroy everything that is part of this so called Garden." Hades commanded.
"As you wish, my liege." Molokai said with glee shining within his flaming green eye, "My brothers and I shall be delighted to fulfill your request."
"Good."

Eve sat in the train and waited until it would arrive in Timber. Xu had explained to them that their hotel was paid for and they would have twenty thousand gil, just in case. She examined her squad; Gwena wore her strawberry blonde hair in a braid. She always wondered how on earth she had the time to braid that thing. She wore a pale red skirt, black boots, and a peach tank top. She looked like the younger version of her mother, Quistis Trepe. She was also holding her peach colored jacket by her side and stared at Van with warmth in her eyes. Eve rolled her eyes at the mushy sight.
Van on the other hand was tending to his gloves and guns. His brown and silver tipped hair was tied in the back. He wore white baggy pants and a white t-shirt. His silvery trench coat gave an angelic touch to his features, which really brought out his green eyes.
Eve turned her gaze upon Blade who sat there playing with his PHS. He wore a black trench coat and Eve wondered what was the big deal with those damn trench coats but she didn't care for it. The back of his coat was a Tiamalt design. His short silver-blonde hair gave a very opposite affect and his eyes were a beautiful marina color. She could clearly see the green swim gently in his eyes. His gun blade, which was called a Hyperion, was attached to his black pants and it shone a pale green. He got it as a gift from his father. Yet the weapon was really old, the legend was that Seifer managed to only unlock one limit. It had never been upgraded at all. Blade looked up at her and she stared back never wavering. He smiled and went back to playing with his cell phone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we will be arriving shortly at Timber. Please be prepared to get off." The conductor's voice said as it boomed over the intercom.
"Finally!" Gwena exclaimed. She walked over to a cappuccino machine and ordered herself something to drink. Several minutes later the train stopped and the SeeD's had arrived at their destination. It was just in time too. Half the buildings were burning a new creatures were attacking the civilians.
"Junction and attack!" Eve shouted. Her comrades never hesitated and on to work they went. They split up into two groups and they went their own separate ways.
Eve noticed a sort of dragon looming between buildings. It was shale gray and its eyes were black as coal. It was a slow moving creature due to its enormous and heavy claws, but otherwise, deadly as all hell. It kept swiping at the already hurt citizens and it spit a fireball once in a while, which engulfed several buildings. Dava surveyed the situation; this dragon was the only thing big here and probably in charge.
"The dragon!" Eve shouted and Blade followed her behind. Soon Vanyel and Gwena joined up. They were taught a new strategy in fighting. Zell developed it ten years ago and it allowed four people in a group. Things weren't going as planned and Vanyel unleashed his first limit break, known as fatal Blow. His gloves unlocked guns and the attack looked spectacular as the magic surrounding him helped him force the blow upon the dragon. Yet the blow took out only some of the creature's health. Gwena was too low on her health scale and so was Vanyel, yet blade was right there beside her.
"We have to attack with our GF's and now!" Blade ordered. Eve nodded and signaled for the others to summon their Guardians.
Out came the GF's one by one attacking the already weak dragon that was roaring with hateful fury. Ifrit showered it with a fireball and then Shiva struck her ice attack from behind the creature. Leviathan came next washing away as much Hp and then Quezocotl took the final attack killing the creature instantly.
Once the dragon died, the other monsters seemed to disappear, knowing they were without a leader. Eve sighed and sat down upon the heated cobblestone. The sweltering sun was still pouring its heat upon them. The people were calming down and her groups tried to help them. Soon they figured out that the SeeD's saved them from further devastation and they went back to their homes or ruins.
One man in particular came walking over to the group. He seemed like the governor type.
"I am Governor Delton, I would like to thank you for saving this town." He said hoarsely. He seemed to have inhaled some of the burning smoke and ashes clung to his torn clothes.
"No need to thank, it was our job. You can thank Balamb for training us." Eve said.
"And who might you be, Miss?" Delton asked.
"I am the group leader, my name is Dava Icehart of Balamb. My comrades are Gwena, Blade, and Van."
"Congratulations, I will have you moved up one level." Delton explained. Blade gave out a whoop, while the others smiled. One level? My Hyne! That's barely nothing compared to the fight we just had! One level…
"I hope that the hotel is still left. Since you are now to protect Timber, we will gladly welcome you." He said and left talking to two ladies following him and taking down notes.
"Come on, let's get going." Eve commanded.
"Yes, oh fearless leader!" Gwena said mordantly.
"Whatever." She countered.
When they arrived at the hotel, they were glad that it wasn't destroyed. Later when they were all rejuvenated they met at the café nearby. The casualties were small and workers were already rebuilding their ruined city. Timber had thrived over the past twenty years and had turned into a famous city. It was known for it's singers and writers and that got a competition out of Deling City.
Eve sat underneath a red umbrella table. She sat there lazily, Silverraine at her side and Lion Heart still strapped to her back. She didn't trust leaving the precious gun blade alone in her room. She drank away the last of her slushy and noticed a white paper hanging on the Café bulletin bard. She got up and quickly walked over to it and read it.
Missing!
Eve Leonhart
Last seen in the Centra plains.
Reward for whoever finds her and brings her home.
Eve growled and crumpled the paper up imagining a small flame burning it up. Many people who sat there looked at her glowing red hand but then went back to their own business when she glanced around. The paper were all over the city and she imagined them burning away to dust. Several shouts came up as all the missing person's papers disintegrated. Satisfied she walked back to her seat and began to think about the near future.
