"Talking" 'Thinking' (Action) *Telepathic*
Seed Ranma
Chapter 6
The next morning in Ranma's room.
Ranma was sleeping, until Squall came to wake him up.
Squall (shaking Ranma): " Hey Ranma, wake up."
Ranma (talking in his sleep): " no.I don't to marry .that uncute tomboy"
Squall just stares at him. Knowing of Ranma's past, he didn't want to disturb his sleep. So he did that only thing that could wake up Ranma without him dodging in his sleep.
Squall (grinning): " Oh Ranma, Kasumi did your breakfast. Wake up before your father eat yours."
Hearing about Kasumi's food and his father is taking it, Ranma woke up and began to shout.
Ranma: " POPS, DON"T YOU DARE TAKE MY FOOD OR REALLY SHOW YOU WHO IS LOOSING OF."
Ranma blinked. At first he thought he was in the Tendo's house. Then he looked around and saw Squall trying not to laugh.
Ranma: " y'know that was plain evil."
Squall: " anyway, I a mission I have to take. I came by to tell you."
Ranma: " What?! Why they didn't tell me?"
Squall: "I don't know. But the Headmaster will be there. He will meet us at the Gate."
Ranma: " ok, go on ahead. I catch up with you in a minute."
Squall nodded and left. Ranma quickly change into his cloth and went out side his room, outside his meet with Zell.
Zell: " Man, I am late. Oh hi Ranma. Wanna ride on my T-board? It's faster."
Ranma: " oh I show you what is fast. I bet I can beat you while I am running."
Zell: " OH RIGHT, on your make.get set.GO"
Later at the front gate...
Garden Faculty: "...One more minute..."
Suddenly, they something is coming. They looked and saw Ranma running, fast. Behind him Zell was surfing on his T-Board.
Ranma: " HA, I beat you."
Zell: " man, I don't know that someone can run that fast."
Garden Faculty (to Zell): "T-Boards are prohibited within Garden. Have you forgotten?"
Zell: "Oops, sorry! But this is really cool. It may come in handy on a SeeD mission, someday."
Garden Faculty: "We'll be the judges of that. (Calling another faculty) Confiscate it."
The other faculty took the T-Board from Zell and left.
Garden Faculty: "All of you are members of SeeD, but... Nevertheless, you're still students at this Garden. Furthermore, because you are SeeDs, you must set an example to all others and abide by the Garden's rules. Understood!?"
Zell nodded.
Headmaster Cid: " Ranma.what are you doing here? We didn't call you"
Ranma: " Sorry old man. But where Squall goes, I go. And nothing you're going to say gonna change my mind"
Cid thought for a second, then nodded.
Headmaster Cid: " Fine, you can go. Well, about your first mission... You are to go to Timber. There, you will be supporting a resistance faction. That is your mission. A member of the faction will contact you at Timber Station."
Garden Faculty: "This person will talk to you and say, 'The forest of Timber sure have changed'. At this time, you must reply, 'But the owls are still around'. That is the password."
Ranma: ' stupid password'
Headmaster Cid: "Just follow the faction's orders."
Zell: "Uh... Just us 3?"
Garden Faculty: "Correct. We have agreed to do this mission for very little money. Normally, we would never accept such requests, but..."
Ranma: ' they are just like Nabiki'
Headmaster Cid: "Enough talk about that. Well then, Squall, you are the squad leader. Use your best judgement based on the situation. Ranma, you are second in command. You, Zell and Selphie, you are to support Squall and give your all to carry out the faction's plans."
Zell has his hair stick up, red and black shirt, blue shorts and black shoes. Selphie has curled hairs on the edges, yellow tank top, yellow short skirt and brown boots.
Headmaster Cid: " oh and Squall, take this ( gave a magic lamp) I don't know what does this do. Just I know that it will come in handy"
Squall's group heads to Balamb in their renting car. After arriving, they purchase train tickets and got on the train. The train goes into the underwater tunnel.
Inside the train.
Zell: "This train is awesome! A transcontinental railroad, baby! It even runs through an underwater tunnel to get to Timber. (to Squall) Pretty cool, huh?"
Squall: "Sure is..."
Zell: "Guess you're not interested. By the way, Squall... You have to use the ticket to get inside."
Squall goes to the control panel and used the ticket.
Squall: "Ok, we can go inside now."
ID Check: "Confirming... Access granted..."
Selphie: "I'm gonna check out the front. Tee-hee! Thanks!"
Selphie got in.
Zell: "Let's go check it out, Squall."
In the next room...
Zell: "Yo, check it out! So this is SeeD's private cabin...! (checking the inside) WHOA! OHHH YEAHHH! AWESOME!"
Inside the cabin...
Ranma, Squall, and Selphie saw Zell was hopping on a leather sofa.
Zell: "Heh-heh. This is sooo cool!"
Ranma and Squall were sweat dropping.
Squall: " ...I'm glad you're so excited."
Ranma: ".yeah"
Zell: "They even have magazines here."
Squall got Pet Pals Vol. 1.
Ranma: " Doggy books?! Who cares about doggy books?"
Zell: "This is pretty damn amazing. It pays to be a member of SeeD! Squall, y'know anything about Timber?"
Squall: "I don't care."
Zell: "C'mon Squall. Don't be like that... I wanna tell you!"
Ranma: " Zell, did you something high suger?"
Zell: " um.no"
Ranma: " just checking"
Zell: " C'mon Squall!"
Squall: "All right..."
Zell: "Yep, that's what I wanted to hear. Allow me to explain briefly. Timber used to be a country surrounded by deep forests. But 18 years ago, Galbadia invaded. Timber fell quite easily to Galbadia. So now Timber is under Galbadian occupation. It's said there's a whole bunch of resistance factions, big and small."
Squall and Ranma: "...And?"
Zell: "Nope, that's it."
Ranma and Squall face faulted.
Squall: "............ ...Thank you, Mr. Know-It-All-Zell."
Zell (grinning): "Hey, no prob!"
Suddenly, Selphie came in feeling strange.
Selphie: "I'm not...feeling well..."
Squall: "You should get some rest if you're tired."
Ranma: " yeah, maybe because we're under the water."
Selphie: "I'm really sleepy..."
Selphie felled on the sofa.
Squall: "You ok?"
Zell: "Hey...? Huh? What the...!?"
Selphie mysteriously fell asleep.
Zell: "Somethin's wrong with me, too... I...feel...sleepy..."
Ranma: " Zell, what's wrong?"
Squall: "What's going on?"
Zell fell asleep.
Squall: "Ugh!? ...What is this?"
Ranma: " Squall, are you alright?"
Squall don't have time to answer because he fell asleep.
Ranma: " what's wrong with them?"
Ranma check their pulses, he could tell its still there. Narrowing his eyes, Ranma checked their Ki and saw that they are only asleep"
Ranma: ' my danger sense didn't flare. So I don't think they are in trouble.'
Ten minutes later.
Ranma:" C'MON GUYS, WAKE UP"
Ranma shook his head; he tried to wake them up for the last ten minutes.
Ranma: ' man this boring'
Ranma looked around and remembered the lamp. Ranma took it out and look at it for sometime.
Ranma: " uhh what the heck?"
Ranma began rubbing it, then his danger sense flared. Then thing he knew was all blackness except him.
Ranma: " Where the hell I am?" (paused) ' damn I began to sound like Ryoga"
???: "WHO DARED TO DISTURB MY SLUMPER?"
Ranma: ' what the.?'
Ranma looked behind him, what he saw took his breath a way. There was a monster the looked like the devil himself. Ranma began to collect himself.
Ranma: " Cool, who are you?"
Diablos: " MY NAME IS DIABLOS, AND YOU DARE DISTURB ME"
Ranma: " well, sorry to disturb you. But I was bored so I rubbed the lamp, then next thing I knew I was here. Where is this anyway?"
???: " this is inside you head, Ranma"
Ranma span around and look, there was someone who recognised, Shiva.
Ranma: " SHIVA?!"
Shiva just smiled, walked toward him and kissed his forehead. Ranma would just blush, but he felt like something unlocked inside his head.
----Flashback----
Squall: " How long are going to hide that curse of yours?"
Ranma: " as long as it takes, what do you think they going to do once they see my curse? They think I am sex changing freak and probably kill me for that"
Squall nodded while Ranma poring hot water on his head. Lucky for him, nobody saw him change.
Squall: " hey did you get your GF"
Ranma: " I getting it know."
Ranma got to his desk
Ranma activate his panel and got his GF, Shiva. The minute he junction his GF, he found himself in total blackness.
Ranma: " Where am I"
???: " Don't worry young one. You're inside your head"
Ranma look and got a nosebleed. There is standing a beautiful naked woman with blond hair and white blue skin.
Ranma: " Who.who are you?"
Shiva: " my name is Shiva, I called you here to see how will I joined with."
Ranma: ".joined?"
Shiva: " you should know that when anyone junction a GF, the GF takes a place inside the mind of user mainly a small part of your memory"
Ranma (eyes widened): " you.seen my memories?"
Shiva narrowed her eyes and the place suddenly became cooler.
Shiva: " yes. and I'll tell you, you didn't deserve what happened to you by your father. Can't wait to get my hands of him, and the Neko-ken, who would throw his own child in a pit of hungry cat not once but at least twenty time."
Ranma: " sorry.so you don't me to be your user."
Shiva softened her eyes.
Shiva: " no, in all my life I never encounter someone like you. You handle your self nicely with the soul of ice. I came here so I can make with you deal."
Ranma (blinking): " a deal. what kind of deal?"
Shiva (smiling): " You see I am a Goddess of ice. In 2 millenniums I didn't fine someone who is worth of my power, until I found you. I want you to merge fully with me."
Ranma: " merging?"
Shiva: " yes, when someone summons us in a fight, we only can launch our attacks depending of how strong our users. The full emerge will access us to our full power, but also the user can access our powers."
Ranma: " COOL. but what is it for me?"
Shiva (smiling): " I can lock you curse form, so when water hits you, you wouldn't change."
Ranma thought for a second, his curse form causes him nothing but grief. If he didn't change even for sometime would be enough for him.
Ranma: " I accept"
Shiva: " However Ranma, you can't accept for my power for now."
Ranma: " huh.why?"
Shiva: " the space in your mind is too large, so if access it now it may create some harm to your brain."
Ranma (lowering his head): ".."
Shiva: " don't let your hopes down, if you find another GF to share the space is better"
Ranma: " um how many GF can I hold in there?"
Shiva: " To full potential like me, I can say about 3 more."
Ranma: " so what now?"
Shiva (smiling and walked toward him): " now till you find another GF, you can summon me life the rest. For now I will lock your curse, and I will have to hold our memory of our meeting so I can meet you later, time doesn't exist here so you find yourself the moment you junction me "
Shiva kissed Ranma on his forehead. The kiss made Ranma forget the meeting with Shiva.
Squall: " so what you got?"
Ranma: " I got Shiva"
Squall: " come on.lets Oops"
Squall accidentally bumped a glass of water on the table, and splashed Ranma. Ranma waited for the change, but he found himself still male. So he jumped up and down happy.
Squall: "why didn't you change?"
Ranma: " who cares, I am free"
----End Flashback----
Ranma: " Now I remember."
Shiva: " yes, so how are you?"
Ranma (smiling): "fine"
Diablos: "DON'T IGNORE ME"
Shiva: " Ranma.Diablos is also a GF"
Ranma looked at her, then looked at Diablos.
Ranma: " Hey Diablos, if I win against you. Will you become my GF?"
Diablos: "HMPH.DO YOU THINK YOU CAN AGAINST ME, HUMAN? .VERYWELL, IF YOU WIN I'LL JOIN"
Shiva (smiling): " need any help?"
Ranma: " nah.I can take it. (to Diablos)come on"
Ranma dashed toward him. Diablos cast Gravija on Ranma. The Spell hit Ranma and made him fall do his knees.
Ranma: ' whoa.what power.its like lifting a car.'
While Ranma on his knees, Diablos sends a punch to Ranma's face making him flying back. Noticing he was in midair, Ranma flipped and landed of his feet. Once landed, Ranma rushed toward Diablos and throw a punch powered with Ki. Diablos, receiving the hit, was pushed back. Seeing an opening, Ranma dashed toward him. Unfortunately, Diablos punched before he does. Ranma, receiving the hit, was surprised by the power of the punch that made Ryoga's punched like a baby hit.
Ranma: ' what the hell? It's much stronger than the last one he gave me.'
Ranma noticed something strange about Diablos's fist; Suddenly Ranma realized that Diablos powered his fists with his own power, gravity. Ranma realized that he need some how to beat him.
Diablos: " IT SEEMS THAT I HAVE TO FINISH YOU NOW"
Ranma didn't care what Diablos said, he take this moment to attack. Ranma send a punch to Diablos's head. Ranma smiled when he about to hit Diablos, but then something happened. Diablos just disappeared into bats. Ranma looked around for Diablos, but he didn't find any trace of him.
Ranma: "Damn, where did he go?"
Ranma then concentrate on his surroundings, then he notice a huge power radiating above him. He looked up and gasped. Diablos seems to hold a large black sphere with one hand above him hand. Diablos threw the sphere toward Ranma crashing him with hundred times the normal gravity. After the attack is finished, Diablos landed and look for Ranma. Found nothing, he began to laugh until he heard a voice.
Ranma: " GOD FIST"
Flashed hit and passed Diablos. Seeing no damage, Diablos looked behind him, he saw Ranma with a grin on face. He was about to say something, but Ranma beat him to it.
Ranma (snapping his fingers): "BREAK"
Diablos never knew what hit him, his fallen on his knees trying to resist the pain, pain that never felt like before. Blinding in rage he charged toward Ranma.
Ranma: ' he's mad, good.'
Diablos attacked Ranma, who is dodging and moving in a spiral, in an effort to hit him. Ranma when finished punched upward.
Ranma: " HIRYU SHOTEN HA"
Diablos found he is being lifted by tornado, trying to fight it, but it only makes it stronger. Seeing the winds quieted down, Shiva rushed toward Ranma who breathing heavily. Diablos knew he lost to Ranma.
Diablos: " how did you dodge my attack?"
Ranma noticed Diablos's voice became friendlier.
Ranma: " You threw that ball toward me, but you did actually saw it hit me."
Diablos: " what do you mean?"
Ranma just smiled and vanished. Diablos looked but found no trace of him. Diablos was about to say something when Ranma appeared infront of him with a grin on his face.
Ranma: " its called Umisenken, a technique that makes the user disappear without a trace"
Diablos: " In all my life, no one ever beat me. Will let me join you?"
Ranma smiled and nodded.
Shiva: " Well done, Ranma. Now with Diablos, you can access our powers fully."
Ranma: " thank you"
Shiva: " there is one more thing. Now with the use of full power, I can't hold your curse but you can change it in your mind. Sorry"
Ranma: " that's ok, I kinda missed it"
Diablos: " You can also use my powers"
Ranma nodded. Then he was blinded with light. The next thing he knew he was back in the cabin.
Ranma: ' must be a dream'
Shiva: * this is no dream, Ranma*
Ranma: * So I can really use your powers*
Shiva: * yes, you can now use my and Diablos's power. Try it*
Ranma look at his hands and concentrate. Then he noticed his right hand has ice energy and the other had black energy so he figured gravity energy. Then he noticed his strength and speed has increase, also he noticed he had better control on his Ki.
Ranma: * WOW*
Diablos: * yes, what else impressive is that when you get stronger, we get stronger."
Ranma: * COOL*
Suddenly Ranma heard a moan, he look toward his friends and he saw them waking up.
Squall opened his eyes and took a second to look around.
???: " Finally up? You took your time"
Squall saw Ranma with a worried expression. Squall got up.
Squall: "Were we...all asleep?"
Zell: "Maybe someone released some sleeping gas? There's lots of people who resent SeeD."
Ranma: " I don't think so. You guys slept, but not me"
Selphie (full awake): "Am I missing anything? Anyone hurt?"
Squall: "...I don't think so."
Selphie: "What a relief! Everything's cool with me! Hee! I had such a nice dream!"
Squall: 'I had a dream, too. It wasn't nice though...I dreamt I was a moron...'
Train Announcement: "We will be arriving in Timber shortly. For those getting off, please be sure you have all your belongings."
Selphie: "But seriously, Sir Laguna was sooo cool!"
Ranma: "Laguna?"
Zell: "Hey! There was a Laguna in my dream, too! He's a Galbadian soldier, right!?"
Ranma: "Huh?"
Squall: "Laguna, Kiros, and Ward..."
Ranma: " OK, OK. You guys are starting to scare me. What are you talking about?"
Squall: " Well."
Squall told of Laguna, Kiros, and Ward, who are Galbadian soldiers, who are involved in war. Then he told him of how they got to Dollet, rather fighting, and gone to a hotel so that Laguna see a piano player, Julia, who's playing that night. Laguna, who has a crush on Julia, want to talk to her so she suggested that they talk in her room.
(A.N.: I am not going to put the dream scenes because this is Ranma fiction, not a game script)
Ranma: ".how did this happen? I was here look after you"
Selphie: "There's no way we can understand this... Let's just concentrate on our first mission!"
Squall: '...I guess your right.' "We'll put this incident on hold. I'll report it to the headmaster once we get back to Garden."
Zell: "We should be there soon, eh? Here we go... Psyche yourself up, baby!"
Selphie: "Whew... Still sleepy."
Squall: "........."
Later, Squall's group arrived in Timber. A man speaks to them...
???: "Oh, the forests of Timber sure has changed!"
Squall (remembering the password): "But the Owls are still around."
Watts: "Welcome to Timber, sir. Come with me, sir. My name is Watts"
While following that man to a train track...
Watts: "Please, please, this way, sir!"
The locomotive arrived. Squall's group and Watts go in to the Forest Owls' Base. Inside...
Zone: "So, you guys are SeeDs?"
Squall: "I'm the squad leader, Squall. This is Ranma, Zell, and Selphie."
Zone: "Nice to meet ya. I'm the leader of the Forest Owls. The name is Zone"
Squall: "So, let's get on with it. What do we do?"
Zone: "Just take it easy. Here, let me introduce you. Looks like you already met Watts. I guess it's just our princess, then."
Watts: "It's the princess' nap time, sir."
Ranma: ' princess.is sure how she is not like Akane. One is enough'
Zone (stomachache): "Ahh, man... (to Squall) Hey Squall, sorry, but could you go get the princess? She's in the [last room], up those stairs. Some of our other guys are in the room on the way. Ask'em if you get lost."
Squall (a bit angry): "...Were we hired to run errands? Well?"
Zone: "A-Are you angry!?"
Squall: 'We're not gophers... We're SeeD...special forces.' "This is the last time for this kinda thing."
Squall went inside.
Zone (clenching his stomach): "OwOwOuccchhh."
Ranma: ".."
Later.
Ranma saw Squall with girl who's 17 year old, has long black hair, long blue sleeveless shirt, black shorts, blue skirt and black boots.
Ranma: ' hmm.she looks familiar"
Squall (introducing): "This is Zell... ...And Selphie."
Rinoa nodded while shaking they hands.
Squall: " and Ranma"
Rinoa noticed that Ranma is staring at her.
Rinoa: " what? Is there something on my face?"
Ranma: " huh.oh no, no, no. it just that I saw you somewhere.( then remembered the party) oh now I remember. you're who was dancing with squall at the party. Man I never thought I gonna meet the girl who asked Squall to dance, he never done that before."
Rinoa (blush): "umm thanks"
Ranma (whispering to Squall): "Nice choose"
Squall blush, Ranma smirked.
Rinao: " anyway, lets go down to business. This way"
Later in the strategy room...
Zone: "Just stand anywhere you want. This is a full-scale operation. Our resistance, 'The Forest Owls', will be forever known in the pages of Timber's independence! Exciting, huh? It all started when we got a hold of top-secret info from Galbadia."
Watts: "I got the info, sir."
Zone: "There's a VIP from Galbadia coming to Timber."
Watts: "Super V-I-P!!!"
Zone: "The guy's name is Vinzer Deling! Our archenemy, and the President of Galbadia."
Watts: "Vinzer Deling is a scoundrel!!! He's a dictator, not a president. Not even popular in Galbadia, sir!"
Rinoa: "President Deling is taking a private train from the Galbadian capital."
Zone: "Our plan is to..."
Selphie (interrupting): "...Blow it to smithereens with a rocket launcher!?"
Everybody sweat dropped.
Zone: "Ahh...not quite..."
Zell: "So get to the point! Just tell us what to do!"
Rinoa: "Shall we begin?"
Rinoa then pressed a switch on the side of the table. A model which represents a train.
As everyone looks at the model...
Rinoa: "First, I'll go over the model. The yellow train on the top right is our 'base'. We're riding in it right now. Right next to it is the 'dummy car'. We made it to look just like the president's car. Their train has three cars. First there's the 'locomotive' followed by the '1st escort'. The red car is the 'president's car'. Deling should be inside. The last car is the '2nd escort'. Once we get on this one, we begin the operation. Our ultimate goal is to seize the president in his car using our 'base'. That means, we'll have to switch our 'dummy car' with their 'president's car'. We'll use the 2 switch points leading up to Timber to carry out this operation. Ok, now I'm going to explain the procedures in seven steps. We'll get on the roof of the '2nd escort' by jumping from our 'dummy car'."
Watts: "The '2nd escort' car is the only one that is equipped with sensors, sir."
Rinoa: "A high tech officer is onboard. I'll talk about the sensors later. We can move across the roof of the 'president's car' without worrying too much."
Zone: "Deling hates the company of his guards and being surrounded by sensors, and keeps them away from his car."
Rinoa: "We have to complete the uncoupling before the 1st switch point. If we don't..."
Selphie: "BOOM! ...Game over, right?"
Rinoa (sweat dropped): "...Yeah. So we'll have to move fast. I'll explain the uncoupling process later. After the car is uncoupled... We'll have the 'dummy car' and our 'base' move in. At this point, our train and their train will be linked and be moving together. This is the last uncoupling. The process will probably be similar to the last one. If all goes well, we should be able to escape with the 'president's car'. After that, we'll return to our base and prepare to confront Deling. We have exactly 5 minutes to complete the 7 procedures. If we fail, our train will collide with theirs at the switch point and it'll be over. Don't forget that."
Zell: "5 minutes...? You sure that's enough?"
Zone: According to the simulation that we ran, it should take only 3 minutes to complete the operation. Piece of cake for SeeDs, right?"
Selphie: "Of course! Too easy!"
Squall: "......"
Rinoa: "Ok, now let's talk about how to avoid the sensors on the '2nd escort'. ......Go ahead Watts."
Watts: "The guards have a 'sound sensor' and a 'temperature sensor', sir. Any sound will trigger the 'sound sensor' so move across very quickly, sir! The blue guard is carrying this sensor. The 'temperature sensor' will go off if you remain stationary, sir! The guard in red is carrying this one, sir. When a guard opens the blind, that means he is checking the sensor, so be careful! The range on these sensors is equal to the length of one window. So keep an eye on the window below, sir."
Zell: "...So exactly how do you avoid 'em?"
Watts: "Umm...basically, run or stop, depending on which guard is below you."
Rinoa: "That's about it for the sensors. Next, let's talk about how to uncouple the escort cars."
Selphie: "Questions...! How can you uncouple the cars from a moving train?"
Rinoa: "Umm...we can't uncouple the cars directly."
Zone: "Instead, we'll have to temper with the control system that manages the coupling. If we temporarily disable the circuit for the connection, the car will uncouple automatically. To disable it, we have to enter several codes."
Watts: "...And we have the codes. Rinoa has them, sir!"
Rinoa: "I'll be in charge of relaying the codes to Squall. Squall, you'll slide down on the side of the train using a cable and enter the codes into the system. Now, I need you to listen carefully. Each code is made up of numbers between 1-4 and has 4 digits: 2341 is an example. You have to be quick and precise. You'll have about 5 seconds to enter each code. Otherwise, the code will change and the past entries will become invalid. So like we said, we have to enter all the codes to disable the connections. After we uncouple the cars, we'll wait for the others to operate the rail switch. Remember, we only have 5 minutes to do everything, so make sure that you're prepared. Ok, let's try practicing entering the code. Enter 3 codes and you'll be finished."
Squall practiced on entering the codes.
Rinoa: "You got it? In the real thing, there's a strict time limit leading up to the switch point. Don't forget that. Umm...that's all."
Selphie: "By the way...this model's nice but the president's car looks kinda shabby. ......Why is that?"
Watts: "Yeah, Rinoa made it. That's why. We bought everything else at the gift store."
Zell: "Oh... I thought some kid made it. The paint job sucks, too."
Squall: '......? Yeah...It kind of does.'
Rinoa: "Oh, shut up! I made it look like that on purpose. It represents my hatred towards Deling."
Zell: "Hatred, eh...? Yeah...right."
Selphie: "It's one of the...ugliest things that I've ever seen in my life. You must really hate him."
Squall: "......"
Ranma: "......"
Rinoa: "Are you guys finished!? Enough about the model! Can we get on with it now!? Do you understand?"
Squall: "Yes."
Rinoa: "Let's decide on the party!"
Watts: "Gathering information is my specialty, sir!"
Zone: OuuuucHHHHH...... My stomach!
Rinoa: "We're moving again... I'll go take a look. Talk to Watts when your ready. The sooner the better."
Ranma: " um Rinoa,"
Rinoa: " yes?"
Ranma: " I saw the emulator. The whole thing takes about 4 people, right?"
Rinoa: " yes?"
Ranma: " so you, Squall, Zell, and Selphie will do it. So what am I going to do?"
Rinoa: " oh right. I asked for three people, I didn't know they going to send four"
Ranma: " that ok. I guess I am going to grade your back"
Rinoa (nodded): " its looks a plan"
After few moments.
Watts: "Have you seen the dummy of the president, sir? If you haven't, please take a look-see! It's like a piece of art! I know the kidnapping plan must be tough, but best of luck to you, sir! Are you ready, sir!?"
Squall: "Yeah."

"Talking" 'Thinking' (Action) *Telepathic*
Seed Ranma
Chapter 6
The next morning in Ranma's room.
Ranma was sleeping, until Squall came to wake him up.
Squall (shaking Ranma): " Hey Ranma, wake up."
Ranma (talking in his sleep): " no.I don't to marry .that uncute tomboy"
Squall just stares at him. Knowing of Ranma's past, he didn't want to disturb his sleep. So he did that only thing that could wake up Ranma without him dodging in his sleep.
Squall (grinning): " Oh Ranma, Kasumi did your breakfast. Wake up before your father eat yours."
Hearing about Kasumi's food and his father is taking it, Ranma woke up and began to shout.
Ranma: " POPS, DON"T YOU DARE TAKE MY FOOD OR REALLY SHOW YOU WHO IS LOOSING OF."
Ranma blinked. At first he thought he was in the Tendo's house. Then he looked around and saw Squall trying not to laugh.
Ranma: " y'know that was plain evil."
Squall: " anyway, I a mission I have to take. I came by to tell you."
Ranma: " What?! Why they didn't tell me?"
Squall: "I don't know. But the Headmaster will be there. He will meet us at the Gate."
Ranma: " ok, go on ahead. I catch up with you in a minute."
Squall nodded and left. Ranma quickly change into his cloth and went out side his room, outside his meet with Zell.
Zell: " Man, I am late. Oh hi Ranma. Wanna ride on my T-board? It's faster."
Ranma: " oh I show you what is fast. I bet I can beat you while I am running."
Zell: " OH RIGHT, on your make.get set.GO"
Later at the front gate...
Garden Faculty: "...One more minute..."
Suddenly, they something is coming. They looked and saw Ranma running, fast. Behind him Zell was surfing on his T-Board.
Ranma: " HA, I beat you."
Zell: " man, I don't know that someone can run that fast."
Garden Faculty (to Zell): "T-Boards are prohibited within Garden. Have you forgotten?"
Zell: "Oops, sorry! But this is really cool. It may come in handy on a SeeD mission, someday."
Garden Faculty: "We'll be the judges of that. (Calling another faculty) Confiscate it."
The other faculty took the T-Board from Zell and left.
Garden Faculty: "All of you are members of SeeD, but... Nevertheless, you're still students at this Garden. Furthermore, because you are SeeDs, you must set an example to all others and abide by the Garden's rules. Understood!?"
Zell nodded.
Headmaster Cid: " Ranma.what are you doing here? We didn't call you"
Ranma: " Sorry old man. But where Squall goes, I go. And nothing you're going to say gonna change my mind"
Cid thought for a second, then nodded.
Headmaster Cid: " Fine, you can go. Well, about your first mission... You are to go to Timber. There, you will be supporting a resistance faction. That is your mission. A member of the faction will contact you at Timber Station."
Garden Faculty: "This person will talk to you and say, 'The forest of Timber sure have changed'. At this time, you must reply, 'But the owls are still around'. That is the password."
Ranma: ' stupid password'
Headmaster Cid: "Just follow the faction's orders."
Zell: "Uh... Just us 3?"
Garden Faculty: "Correct. We have agreed to do this mission for very little money. Normally, we would never accept such requests, but..."
Ranma: ' they are just like Nabiki'
Headmaster Cid: "Enough talk about that. Well then, Squall, you are the squad leader. Use your best judgement based on the situation. Ranma, you are second in command. You, Zell and Selphie, you are to support Squall and give your all to carry out the faction's plans."
Zell has his hair stick up, red and black shirt, blue shorts and black shoes. Selphie has curled hairs on the edges, yellow tank top, yellow short skirt and brown boots.
Headmaster Cid: " oh and Squall, take this ( gave a magic lamp) I don't know what does this do. Just I know that it will come in handy"
Squall's group heads to Balamb in their renting car. After arriving, they purchase train tickets and got on the train. The train goes into the underwater tunnel.
Inside the train.
Zell: "This train is awesome! A transcontinental railroad, baby! It even runs through an underwater tunnel to get to Timber. (to Squall) Pretty cool, huh?"
Squall: "Sure is..."
Zell: "Guess you're not interested. By the way, Squall... You have to use the ticket to get inside."
Squall goes to the control panel and used the ticket.
Squall: "Ok, we can go inside now."
ID Check: "Confirming... Access granted..."
Selphie: "I'm gonna check out the front. Tee-hee! Thanks!"
Selphie got in.
Zell: "Let's go check it out, Squall."
In the next room...
Zell: "Yo, check it out! So this is SeeD's private cabin...! (checking the inside) WHOA! OHHH YEAHHH! AWESOME!"
Inside the cabin...
Ranma, Squall, and Selphie saw Zell was hopping on a leather sofa.
Zell: "Heh-heh. This is sooo cool!"
Ranma and Squall were sweat dropping.
Squall: " ...I'm glad you're so excited."
Ranma: ".yeah"
Zell: "They even have magazines here."
Squall got Pet Pals Vol. 1.
Ranma: " Doggy books?! Who cares about doggy books?"
Zell: "This is pretty damn amazing. It pays to be a member of SeeD! Squall, y'know anything about Timber?"
Squall: "I don't care."
Zell: "C'mon Squall. Don't be like that... I wanna tell you!"
Ranma: " Zell, did you something high suger?"
Zell: " um.no"
Ranma: " just checking"
Zell: " C'mon Squall!"
Squall: "All right..."
Zell: "Yep, that's what I wanted to hear. Allow me to explain briefly. Timber used to be a country surrounded by deep forests. But 18 years ago, Galbadia invaded. Timber fell quite easily to Galbadia. So now Timber is under Galbadian occupation. It's said there's a whole bunch of resistance factions, big and small."
Squall and Ranma: "...And?"
Zell: "Nope, that's it."
Ranma and Squall face faulted.
Squall: "............ ...Thank you, Mr. Know-It-All-Zell."
Zell (grinning): "Hey, no prob!"
Suddenly, Selphie came in feeling strange.
Selphie: "I'm not...feeling well..."
Squall: "You should get some rest if you're tired."
Ranma: " yeah, maybe because we're under the water."
Selphie: "I'm really sleepy..."
Selphie felled on the sofa.
Squall: "You ok?"
Zell: "Hey...? Huh? What the...!?"
Selphie mysteriously fell asleep.
Zell: "Somethin's wrong with me, too... I...feel...sleepy..."
Ranma: " Zell, what's wrong?"
Squall: "What's going on?"
Zell fell asleep.
Squall: "Ugh!? ...What is this?"
Ranma: " Squall, are you alright?"
Squall don't have time to answer because he fell asleep.
Ranma: " what's wrong with them?"
Ranma check their pulses, he could tell its still there. Narrowing his eyes, Ranma checked their Ki and saw that they are only asleep"
Ranma: ' my danger sense didn't flare. So I don't think they are in trouble.'
Ten minutes later.
Ranma:" C'MON GUYS, WAKE UP"
Ranma shook his head; he tried to wake them up for the last ten minutes.
Ranma: ' man this boring'
Ranma looked around and remembered the lamp. Ranma took it out and look at it for sometime.
Ranma: " uhh what the heck?"
Ranma began rubbing it, then his danger sense flared. Then thing he knew was all blackness except him.
Ranma: " Where the hell I am?" (paused) ' damn I began to sound like Ryoga"
???: "WHO DARED TO DISTURB MY SLUMPER?"
Ranma: ' what the.?'
Ranma looked behind him, what he saw took his breath a way. There was a monster the looked like the devil himself. Ranma began to collect himself.
Ranma: " Cool, who are you?"
Diablos: " MY NAME IS DIABLOS, AND YOU DARE DISTURB ME"
Ranma: " well, sorry to disturb you. But I was bored so I rubbed the lamp, then next thing I knew I was here. Where is this anyway?"
???: " this is inside you head, Ranma"
Ranma span around and look, there was someone who recognised, Shiva.
Ranma: " SHIVA?!"
Shiva just smiled, walked toward him and kissed his forehead. Ranma would just blush, but he felt like something unlocked inside his head.
----Flashback----
Squall: " How long are going to hide that curse of yours?"
Ranma: " as long as it takes, what do you think they going to do once they see my curse? They think I am sex changing freak and probably kill me for that"
Squall nodded while Ranma poring hot water on his head. Lucky for him, nobody saw him change.
Squall: " hey did you get your GF"
Ranma: " I getting it know."
Ranma got to his desk
Ranma activate his panel and got his GF, Shiva. The minute he junction his GF, he found himself in total blackness.
Ranma: " Where am I"
???: " Don't worry young one. You're inside your head"
Ranma look and got a nosebleed. There is standing a beautiful naked woman with blond hair and white blue skin.
Ranma: " Who.who are you?"
Shiva: " my name is Shiva, I called you here to see how will I joined with."
Ranma: ".joined?"
Shiva: " you should know that when anyone junction a GF, the GF takes a place inside the mind of user mainly a small part of your memory"
Ranma (eyes widened): " you.seen my memories?"
Shiva narrowed her eyes and the place suddenly became cooler.
Shiva: " yes. and I'll tell you, you didn't deserve what happened to you by your father. Can't wait to get my hands of him, and the Neko-ken, who would throw his own child in a pit of hungry cat not once but at least twenty time."
Ranma: " sorry.so you don't me to be your user."
Shiva softened her eyes.
Shiva: " no, in all my life I never encounter someone like you. You handle your self nicely with the soul of ice. I came here so I can make with you deal."
Ranma (blinking): " a deal. what kind of deal?"
Shiva (smiling): " You see I am a Goddess of ice. In 2 millenniums I didn't fine someone who is worth of my power, until I found you. I want you to merge fully with me."
Ranma: " merging?"
Shiva: " yes, when someone summons us in a fight, we only can launch our attacks depending of how strong our users. The full emerge will access us to our full power, but also the user can access our powers."
Ranma: " COOL. but what is it for me?"
Shiva (smiling): " I can lock you curse form, so when water hits you, you wouldn't change."
Ranma thought for a second, his curse form causes him nothing but grief. If he didn't change even for sometime would be enough for him.
Ranma: " I accept"
Shiva: " However Ranma, you can't accept for my power for now."
Ranma: " huh.why?"
Shiva: " the space in your mind is too large, so if access it now it may create some harm to your brain."
Ranma (lowering his head): ".."
Shiva: " don't let your hopes down, if you find another GF to share the space is better"
Ranma: " um how many GF can I hold in there?"
Shiva: " To full potential like me, I can say about 3 more."
Ranma: " so what now?"
Shiva (smiling and walked toward him): " now till you find another GF, you can summon me life the rest. For now I will lock your curse, and I will have to hold our memory of our meeting so I can meet you later, time doesn't exist here so you find yourself the moment you junction me "
Shiva kissed Ranma on his forehead. The kiss made Ranma forget the meeting with Shiva.
Squall: " so what you got?"
Ranma: " I got Shiva"
Squall: " come on.lets Oops"
Squall accidentally bumped a glass of water on the table, and splashed Ranma. Ranma waited for the change, but he found himself still male. So he jumped up and down happy.
Squall: "why didn't you change?"
Ranma: " who cares, I am free"
----End Flashback----
Ranma: " Now I remember."
Shiva: " yes, so how are you?"
Ranma (smiling): "fine"
Diablos: "DON'T IGNORE ME"
Shiva: " Ranma.Diablos is also a GF"
Ranma looked at her, then looked at Diablos.
Ranma: " Hey Diablos, if I win against you. Will you become my GF?"
Diablos: "HMPH.DO YOU THINK YOU CAN AGAINST ME, HUMAN? .VERYWELL, IF YOU WIN I'LL JOIN"
Shiva (smiling): " need any help?"
Ranma: " nah.I can take it. (to Diablos)come on"
Ranma dashed toward him. Diablos cast Gravija on Ranma. The Spell hit Ranma and made him fall do his knees.
Ranma: ' whoa.what power.its like lifting a car.'
While Ranma on his knees, Diablos sends a punch to Ranma's face making him flying back. Noticing he was in midair, Ranma flipped and landed of his feet. Once landed, Ranma rushed toward Diablos and throw a punch powered with Ki. Diablos, receiving the hit, was pushed back. Seeing an opening, Ranma dashed toward him. Unfortunately, Diablos punched before he does. Ranma, receiving the hit, was surprised by the power of the punch that made Ryoga's punched like a baby hit.
Ranma: ' what the hell? It's much stronger than the last one he gave me.'
Ranma noticed something strange about Diablos's fist; Suddenly Ranma realized that Diablos powered his fists with his own power, gravity. Ranma realized that he need some how to beat him.
Diablos: " IT SEEMS THAT I HAVE TO FINISH YOU NOW"
Ranma didn't care what Diablos said, he take this moment to attack. Ranma send a punch to Diablos's head. Ranma smiled when he about to hit Diablos, but then something happened. Diablos just disappeared into bats. Ranma looked around for Diablos, but he didn't find any trace of him.
Ranma: "Damn, where did he go?"
Ranma then concentrate on his surroundings, then he notice a huge power radiating above him. He looked up and gasped. Diablos seems to hold a large black sphere with one hand above him hand. Diablos threw the sphere toward Ranma crashing him with hundred times the normal gravity. After the attack is finished, Diablos landed and look for Ranma. Found nothing, he began to laugh until he heard a voice.
Ranma: " GOD FIST"
Flashed hit and passed Diablos. Seeing no damage, Diablos looked behind him, he saw Ranma with a grin on face. He was about to say something, but Ranma beat him to it.
Ranma (snapping his fingers): "BREAK"
Diablos never knew what hit him, his fallen on his knees trying to resist the pain, pain that never felt like before. Blinding in rage he charged toward Ranma.
Ranma: ' he's mad, good.'
Diablos attacked Ranma, who is dodging and moving in a spiral, in an effort to hit him. Ranma when finished punched upward.
Ranma: " HIRYU SHOTEN HA"
Diablos found he is being lifted by tornado, trying to fight it, but it only makes it stronger. Seeing the winds quieted down, Shiva rushed toward Ranma who breathing heavily. Diablos knew he lost to Ranma.
Diablos: " how did you dodge my attack?"
Ranma noticed Diablos's voice became friendlier.
Ranma: " You threw that ball toward me, but you did actually saw it hit me."
Diablos: " what do you mean?"
Ranma just smiled and vanished. Diablos looked but found no trace of him. Diablos was about to say something when Ranma appeared infront of him with a grin on his face.
Ranma: " its called Umisenken, a technique that makes the user disappear without a trace"
Diablos: " In all my life, no one ever beat me. Will let me join you?"
Ranma smiled and nodded.
Shiva: " Well done, Ranma. Now with Diablos, you can access our powers fully."
Ranma: " thank you"
Shiva: " there is one more thing. Now with the use of full power, I can't hold your curse but you can change it in your mind. Sorry"
Ranma: " that's ok, I kinda missed it"
Diablos: " You can also use my powers"
Ranma nodded. Then he was blinded with light. The next thing he knew he was back in the cabin.
Ranma: ' must be a dream'
Shiva: * this is no dream, Ranma*
Ranma: * So I can really use your powers*
Shiva: * yes, you can now use my and Diablos's power. Try it*
Ranma look at his hands and concentrate. Then he noticed his right hand has ice energy and the other had black energy so he figured gravity energy. Then he noticed his strength and speed has increase, also he noticed he had better control on his Ki.
Ranma: * WOW*
Diablos: * yes, what else impressive is that when you get stronger, we get stronger."
Ranma: * COOL*
Suddenly Ranma heard a moan, he look toward his friends and he saw them waking up.
Squall opened his eyes and took a second to look around.
???: " Finally up? You took your time"
Squall saw Ranma with a worried expression. Squall got up.
Squall: "Were we...all asleep?"
Zell: "Maybe someone released some sleeping gas? There's lots of people who resent SeeD."
Ranma: " I don't think so. You guys slept, but not me"
Selphie (full awake): "Am I missing anything? Anyone hurt?"
Squall: "...I don't think so."
Selphie: "What a relief! Everything's cool with me! Hee! I had such a nice dream!"
Squall: 'I had a dream, too. It wasn't nice though...I dreamt I was a moron...'
Train Announcement: "We will be arriving in Timber shortly. For those getting off, please be sure you have all your belongings."
Selphie: "But seriously, Sir Laguna was sooo cool!"
Ranma: "Laguna?"
Zell: "Hey! There was a Laguna in my dream, too! He's a Galbadian soldier, right!?"
Ranma: "Huh?"
Squall: "Laguna, Kiros, and Ward..."
Ranma: " OK, OK. You guys are starting to scare me. What are you talking about?"
Squall: " Well."
Squall told of Laguna, Kiros, and Ward, who are Galbadian soldiers, who are involved in war. Then he told him of how they got to Dollet, rather fighting, and gone to a hotel so that Laguna see a piano player, Julia, who's playing that night. Laguna, who has a crush on Julia, want to talk to her so she suggested that they talk in her room.
(A.N.: I am not going to put the dream scenes because this is Ranma fiction, not a game script)
Ranma: ".how did this happen? I was here look after you"
Selphie: "There's no way we can understand this... Let's just concentrate on our first mission!"
Squall: '...I guess your right.' "We'll put this incident on hold. I'll report it to the headmaster once we get back to Garden."
Zell: "We should be there soon, eh? Here we go... Psyche yourself up, baby!"
Selphie: "Whew... Still sleepy."
Squall: "........."
Later, Squall's group arrived in Timber. A man speaks to them...
???: "Oh, the forests of Timber sure has changed!"
Squall (remembering the password): "But the Owls are still around."
Watts: "Welcome to Timber, sir. Come with me, sir. My name is Watts"
While following that man to a train track...
Watts: "Please, please, this way, sir!"
The locomotive arrived. Squall's group and Watts go in to the Forest Owls' Base. Inside...
Zone: "So, you guys are SeeDs?"
Squall: "I'm the squad leader, Squall. This is Ranma, Zell, and Selphie."
Zone: "Nice to meet ya. I'm the leader of the Forest Owls. The name is Zone"
Squall: "So, let's get on with it. What do we do?"
Zone: "Just take it easy. Here, let me introduce you. Looks like you already met Watts. I guess it's just our princess, then."
Watts: "It's the princess' nap time, sir."
Ranma: ' princess.is sure how she is not like Akane. One is enough'
Zone (stomachache): "Ahh, man... (to Squall) Hey Squall, sorry, but could you go get the princess? She's in the [last room], up those stairs. Some of our other guys are in the room on the way. Ask'em if you get lost."
Squall (a bit angry): "...Were we hired to run errands? Well?"
Zone: "A-Are you angry!?"
Squall: 'We're not gophers... We're SeeD...special forces.' "This is the last time for this kinda thing."
Squall went inside.
Zone (clenching his stomach): "OwOwOuccchhh."
Ranma: ".."
Later.
Ranma saw Squall with girl who's 17 year old, has long black hair, long blue sleeveless shirt, black shorts, blue skirt and black boots.
Ranma: ' hmm.she looks familiar"
Squall (introducing): "This is Zell... ...And Selphie."
Rinoa nodded while shaking they hands.
Squall: " and Ranma"
Rinoa noticed that Ranma is staring at her.
Rinoa: " what? Is there something on my face?"
Ranma: " huh.oh no, no, no. it just that I saw you somewhere.( then remembered the party) oh now I remember. you're who was dancing with squall at the party. Man I never thought I gonna meet the girl who asked Squall to dance, he never done that before."
Rinoa (blush): "umm thanks"
Ranma (whispering to Squall): "Nice choose"
Squall blush, Ranma smirked.
Rinao: " anyway, lets go down to business. This way"
Later in the strategy room...
Zone: "Just stand anywhere you want. This is a full-scale operation. Our resistance, 'The Forest Owls', will be forever known in the pages of Timber's independence! Exciting, huh? It all started when we got a hold of top-secret info from Galbadia."
Watts: "I got the info, sir."
Zone: "There's a VIP from Galbadia coming to Timber."
Watts: "Super V-I-P!!!"
Zone: "The guy's name is Vinzer Deling! Our archenemy, and the President of Galbadia."
Watts: "Vinzer Deling is a scoundrel!!! He's a dictator, not a president. Not even popular in Galbadia, sir!"
Rinoa: "President Deling is taking a private train from the Galbadian capital."
Zone: "Our plan is to..."
Selphie (interrupting): "...Blow it to smithereens with a rocket launcher!?"
Everybody sweat dropped.
Zone: "Ahh...not quite..."
Zell: "So get to the point! Just tell us what to do!"
Rinoa: "Shall we begin?"
Rinoa then pressed a switch on the side of the table. A model which represents a train.
As everyone looks at the model...
Rinoa: "First, I'll go over the model. The yellow train on the top right is our 'base'. We're riding in it right now. Right next to it is the 'dummy car'. We made it to look just like the president's car. Their train has three cars. First there's the 'locomotive' followed by the '1st escort'. The red car is the 'president's car'. Deling should be inside. The last car is the '2nd escort'. Once we get on this one, we begin the operation. Our ultimate goal is to seize the president in his car using our 'base'. That means, we'll have to switch our 'dummy car' with their 'president's car'. We'll use the 2 switch points leading up to Timber to carry out this operation. Ok, now I'm going to explain the procedures in seven steps. We'll get on the roof of the '2nd escort' by jumping from our 'dummy car'."
Watts: "The '2nd escort' car is the only one that is equipped with sensors, sir."
Rinoa: "A high tech officer is onboard. I'll talk about the sensors later. We can move across the roof of the 'president's car' without worrying too much."
Zone: "Deling hates the company of his guards and being surrounded by sensors, and keeps them away from his car."
Rinoa: "We have to complete the uncoupling before the 1st switch point. If we don't..."
Selphie: "BOOM! ...Game over, right?"
Rinoa (sweat dropped): "...Yeah. So we'll have to move fast. I'll explain the uncoupling process later. After the car is uncoupled... We'll have the 'dummy car' and our 'base' move in. At this point, our train and their train will be linked and be moving together. This is the last uncoupling. The process will probably be similar to the last one. If all goes well, we should be able to escape with the 'president's car'. After that, we'll return to our base and prepare to confront Deling. We have exactly 5 minutes to complete the 7 procedures. If we fail, our train will collide with theirs at the switch point and it'll be over. Don't forget that."
Zell: "5 minutes...? You sure that's enough?"
Zone: According to the simulation that we ran, it should take only 3 minutes to complete the operation. Piece of cake for SeeDs, right?"
Selphie: "Of course! Too easy!"
Squall: "......"
Rinoa: "Ok, now let's talk about how to avoid the sensors on the '2nd escort'. ......Go ahead Watts."
Watts: "The guards have a 'sound sensor' and a 'temperature sensor', sir. Any sound will trigger the 'sound sensor' so move across very quickly, sir! The blue guard is carrying this sensor. The 'temperature sensor' will go off if you remain stationary, sir! The guard in red is carrying this one, sir. When a guard opens the blind, that means he is checking the sensor, so be careful! The range on these sensors is equal to the length of one window. So keep an eye on the window below, sir."
Zell: "...So exactly how do you avoid 'em?"
Watts: "Umm...basically, run or stop, depending on which guard is below you."
Rinoa: "That's about it for the sensors. Next, let's talk about how to uncouple the escort cars."
Selphie: "Questions...! How can you uncouple the cars from a moving train?"
Rinoa: "Umm...we can't uncouple the cars directly."
Zone: "Instead, we'll have to temper with the control system that manages the coupling. If we temporarily disable the circuit for the connection, the car will uncouple automatically. To disable it, we have to enter several codes."
Watts: "...And we have the codes. Rinoa has them, sir!"
Rinoa: "I'll be in charge of relaying the codes to Squall. Squall, you'll slide down on the side of the train using a cable and enter the codes into the system. Now, I need you to listen carefully. Each code is made up of numbers between 1-4 and has 4 digits: 2341 is an example. You have to be quick and precise. You'll have about 5 seconds to enter each code. Otherwise, the code will change and the past entries will become invalid. So like we said, we have to enter all the codes to disable the connections. After we uncouple the cars, we'll wait for the others to operate the rail switch. Remember, we only have 5 minutes to do everything, so make sure that you're prepared. Ok, let's try practicing entering the code. Enter 3 codes and you'll be finished."
Squall practiced on entering the codes.
Rinoa: "You got it? In the real thing, there's a strict time limit leading up to the switch point. Don't forget that. Umm...that's all."
Selphie: "By the way...this model's nice but the president's car looks kinda shabby. ......Why is that?"
Watts: "Yeah, Rinoa made it. That's why. We bought everything else at the gift store."
Zell: "Oh... I thought some kid made it. The paint job sucks, too."
Squall: '......? Yeah...It kind of does.'
Rinoa: "Oh, shut up! I made it look like that on purpose. It represents my hatred towards Deling."
Zell: "Hatred, eh...? Yeah...right."
Selphie: "It's one of the...ugliest things that I've ever seen in my life. You must really hate him."
Squall: "......"
Ranma: "......"
Rinoa: "Are you guys finished!? Enough about the model! Can we get on with it now!? Do you understand?"
Squall: "Yes."
Rinoa: "Let's decide on the party!"
Watts: "Gathering information is my specialty, sir!"
Zone: OuuuucHHHHH...... My stomach!
Rinoa: "We're moving again... I'll go take a look. Talk to Watts when your ready. The sooner the better."
Ranma: " um Rinoa,"
Rinoa: " yes?"
Ranma: " I saw the emulator. The whole thing takes about 4 people, right?"
Rinoa: " yes?"
Ranma: " so you, Squall, Zell, and Selphie will do it. So what am I going to do?"
Rinoa: " oh right. I asked for three people, I didn't know they going to send four"
Ranma: " that ok. I guess I am going to grade your back"
Rinoa (nodded): " its looks a plan"
After few moments.
Watts: "Have you seen the dummy of the president, sir? If you haven't, please take a look-see! It's like a piece of art! I know the kidnapping plan must be tough, but best of luck to you, sir! Are you ready, sir!?"
Squall: "Yeah."
