"Talking" 'Thinking' (Action) *Telepathic*
Seed Ranma
Chapter 8
After leave the gang with Rinoa, Ranma and Selphie went to take a walk to look around. They found that the place filled with Galbadian Soldiers.
Ranma: "Wow, I never thought it was this bad"
Selphie: "yeah, and they don't treat them nicely. They should be love and peace together"
Ranma stared at her. He didn't know if she was just cheerful person or just dense. They continued until they found a pub entrance but found three Galbadian Soldiers talking.
Galbadian Soldier 1: "Heh heh...for a country bumpkin he sure had some good stuff."
Galbadian Soldier 2: "Yo, better ease off a little. These Timber hicks hate us enough as it is."
Galbadian Soldier 1 (notices Ranma and Selphie): "......!"
Galbadian Soldier 2 (also notices): "!!!"
Galbadian Soldier 1: "Its those SeeD brats. Let's get 'em!"
Ranma (in defence): "HEY, what did we do?"
Selphie: "Ranma...I think they are talking about the kidnapping mission'
Ranma: "oh"
Selphie sweat dropped. The battle went very fast, Ranma did most of the attack while Selphie casting spells.
After the battle...
Ranma: "man...that was easy. I was hoping for good workout. Oh well"
Selphie just shook her head. Ranma then notices something on the ground. It was a Buel Card.
Ranma (picking up the card): "what's this?"
Selphie (looked): "oh that was a Buel card. That you can use to play cards"
Ranma: "oh well. Might as well keep it"
Ranma and Selphie entered the pub. They noticed the only ones around were the owner, a man, and a drunken old man grumping at the back door. Ranma just had a few flashbacks that had his father in the same way. So Ranma thought to see what's wrong with him, then he notices that owner.
Ranma: "excuse me, but what's with the old man?"
Pub owner: "well, some Galbadian soldiers came by and mug the poor guy."
Ranma then walked toward the old man.
Ranma: "Hey old man. What's Wrong?"
Drifter: "What's Wrong? WHAT'S WRONG??? I'll tell you what's wrong. I've had enough of this city! I came from Dollet to have me a good time. And now... Trains are no longer running... Can't even stay in a hotel because of some stupid official...! Harassed by Galbadian soldiers... Had my precious card stolen... This hasn't been my day..."
Man: "Those jerks... They think they can use brute force to get anything they want. Hell... This town's a good example..."
Drifter: "Yeah... Everything's jacked up because the resistance tried to kidnap the president. Thanks to them, the trains have stopped... There's Galbadian soldiers all over the place... ......All because of them!!! Don't they understand I'm the one suffering from their reckless actions!? Stupid, boneheaded, good-for-nothing resistance! You can just kiss my ass."
Ranma: "oh come, you can't just blame them"
Man: "yeah, you don't understand anything! The resistance is fighting for Timber's future! They're all going the best they can. It's the Galbadian soldiers and their leader who are at fault!"
Drifter (grumbling): "Pshhh..."
Ranma (sigh): "I found something outside. Maybe its your."
Drifter: "Huh?"
Ranma showed the card.
Drifter: "Huh? ...It is! Why do you have it!?"
Ranma: "I told you that I found it outside"
Drifter: "Are you serious? ......Okay. Thanks. Know what? I'm feelin' generous! So you can keep that card. And also...this one!!"
Ranma received Tonberry Card.
Ranma: "Gee, Thanks. I think"
Ranma returned where Selphie was sitting.
Ranma: "Hey, did you order anything?"
Selphie: "Nope. Just waiting for you?"
Ranma: "OK, lets see what they have here"
Ranma picked up the menu and looked at it.
Later...
Ranma: "OH YEAH, now that's what I call a snack"
Selphie just looked at him as if he just grown an extra head. Where she ordered a chocolate Sundae, he ordered 5 from every thing on the menu. The pub owner fainted when he was taking the order, but he got the money that Ranma gave him so he kept quiet. She shook her head when she heard what he said.
Selphie: "Um...Ranma?"
Ranma (looking at her): "Yeah Selphie, What is it?"
Selphie: "Um...I heard you said that was a snack. So I was wondering if I heard wrong?"
Ranma (confused): "Um...yeah. Usually I eat less than this, it just I didn't ate breakfast. Remember?"
Selphie: "Oh yeah" ' it's amazing since he keeps in great shape'
Just then the door opened revealing Squall and the others, and they notices them.
Zell: "Hey guys, what are you doing here?"
Selphie: "Us? Well we just finishing our 'snack'. So what are you guys doing here?"
Squall: "We found out that there a way to the station since the main entrance is blocked"
Ranma: "Ok, since we all here why we tag along"
Squall: "ok, lets go"
They walked toward the back door where the Drifter was laying.
Ranma: "Hey old man, we need to use the door do you mind"
Drifter: "Sure why not? (to the owner) Hey, owner. I can't stand up. Can ya help me?"
The owner moved the Drifter out of the doorway. The gang moves on.
Ranma (to squall): "...so I told him that I found his card outsi..."
???: "meow"
Ranma went stiff. He did not hear what he heard just now. He turned to where the sound is, and there it was those furry things. Even thought he was brought into this world not to mention that he was turned into 7 year old, he still has the fear, or a better word influence of the cat fist.
Rinoa (confused): "Ranma, what's wrong?"
The others are also confused by his actions. They saw him looking at the side, so they looked and they so a kitten.
Rinoa and Selphie "OH HOW CUTE!"
But to Ranma it isn't cute.
Ranma (shivering): "C..C..CA...CAAAATTTT"
Squall remembered about the Cat Fist, he also remembers when Ranma went cat first time and let's just say it's wasn't safe.
Squall: "Hey Selphie, can you put the kitten away from"
Selphie: "But Why?"
Squall: "Just Do it"
So Selphie picked up the kitten and walked away from Ranma.
Zell (confused): "What's that all about? Don't tell that Ranma is afraid of c..."
Ranma (interrupting): "DON'T SAY THAT WORD"
Zell: "ok, ok. Just don't get jumpy"
Rinoa: "Squall, what's wrong with Ranma?"
Squall: "Let's just say that it's better to not know for his and our safety. C'mon lets go"
Shiva: * Ranma we found something *
Ranma then remembered the voice.
Ranma: * What is it Shiva? *
Diablos: * We found something not inside your mind, but in you aura *
Shiva: * what he means that since you have the fear, that you didn't have complete access to your full potential*
Ranma: * wait a sec, you mean to tell me that since I have the fear I didn't reach me limit *
Diablos: * In a way, yes. But you have to stay in your cat stance to find your limit *
Ranma: * it ain't going to happen *
Shiva: * but it may help you *
Ranma didn't answer. He knew that they are right, but he didn't to hurt his friends since he have n o control in his other stance. What he didn't know that soon he will have a chance.
Nobody notice that someone was watching them...
Seig: "Well, well, well. Now that I know your fear, I know just the beast for you to finish you. HAHAHAHA"
Seig then disappeared.
As Squall's group went upstairs, they saw an outside monitor...
Zell: "Whoa, an outdoor TV!"
Rinoa: "This is creepy... What is it?"
Squall: "This noise is broadcast over most of the frequencies. Something has to be done about this before they can broadcast it over the air."
Zell: "Oh, really? Actually, I was wondering myself."
Watts arrived.
Watts: "The president's in the studios now, sir. Too many guards now, so we won't be able to storm the place, sir!"
Watts left.
Ranma: 'Man, he is really into it."
Rinoa: "So we can't just rush in... We've gotta come up with a new plan now! If the president leaves, maybe the guards will be gone, too? That's when we do OUR broadcast. It might not be as influential but it's better than nothing, right? We don't stand a chance if we take 'em head on, right?"
Ranma: "Lets just see if they can"
Squall: "Don't worry about us. We'll fight your enemies based on your decision. That's our duty."
Zell: "You tell us to go, we go. Even if it is a losing battle."
Rinoa: "How sad... Act on my decision? That's our duty? Oh, what an easy life it must be, just to follow orders..."
Squall: "Call it what you want. All we want is for you to achieve your goal using our help. I find it hard to believe that you can do it, though..."
Ranma: ' oh boy, I wonder if he got my foot in the mouth disease'
Rinoa: "W-What did you say!? If you have something to say, just say it!"
Squall: "Forget it."
Rinoa: "You started it. The least you can do is finish it. Come on, what's on your mind?"
Squall: "...Just forget it."
Rinoa: "...Tell me. This is an order. An order from your client!"
Squall: "How serious are you...? Really...? The 3 of you plop down on the floor to discuss strategy? On top of that, you can't make a decision without our input, right? How do you think we feel, working for such an organization?"
Ranma (whispering): "Hey Squall, Cool down."
Squall: "...Sorry. Guess I got a little carried away."
Rinoa: "You know... Maybe this was all a big mistake. I thought everything would work out fine once SeeD came to help us. But, I guess it's not that easy. You were all hired. It's not like you're one of us. Um, let's see... We'll cancel the plan, and we'll disperse for now. We don't stand a chance if we take 'em head on, right? So...you guys probably think this is all a game to us. ...Well, it's not! We're serious. So serious...it hurts."
Rinoa left. Selphie came to join Squall, Ranma, and Zell.
Selphie: "...Heeey?:"
The monitor goes into static.
Selphie: "Are they starting?"
Meanwhile in the TV Station as they are broadcasting...
Announcer: "T-Testing...1...2... Testing... Testing... Ohhhh! P-People of the world! Can you see me!? Can you hear me!? Oh, this is incredible! Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a recording! This is an actual broadcast over the air! Yes, it's been 17 years since a live broadcast has been possible! Oh, please excuse me... I seem to have lost my composure. We would like to present to you today a message from the lifelong President of Galbadia, Vinzer Deling. Ladies and gentlemen, President Deling."
President Deling arrived to the podium.
President Deling: "Greetings, I am Vinzer Deling, lifelong president of Galbadia. Today, I stand before you to make the following proposition. We the people of this world have the power to end all wars."
Selphie: (to herself) "See, see! It's a peaceful proposal to the world. I knew it!"
President Deling: "Unfortunately, there are some trifling problems standing between Galbadia and other nations, and they must be resolved."
Suddenly a noise of breaking...
President Deling: "I plan to convene with other nations' leaders immediately to resolve these problems. At this time allow me to introduce the ambassador who will be my representative for the conference."
Zell: (to himself) "Man! All this just to introduce an ambassador."
President Deling: "The ambassador is the Sorceress..."
Squall: (to himself) "...The Sorceress?"
Suddenly, Seifer came and crashed the speech.
Selphie: "Heeey!"
Zell: "Seifer!"
Ranma: "Stupid"
The Galbadian Soldiers tried to restrain him and get him out but Seifer fought them. Then Seifer placed his gunblade on President Deling.
Selphie: "What's he doin'!?"
Then Quistis came to stop Seifier
Zell: "Instructor Trepe!?"
Quistis (to the Galbadian Soldiers): "Stay back!"
Zell: "Squall, what are we gonna do!?"
Quistis: "For the last time, stay back! You're only going to provoke him."
Squall: "...Nothing. Our job is to assist the Owls. It's none of our business."
Quistis: "Timber Team, are you watching? Get over here right now! You HAVE permission! I need your help!"
Zell: "Squall!?"
Selphie: "Squad leader!"
Squall: "alright, Selphie get Rinoa. Meet us inside."
Selphie: "Right"
Squall's group immediately heads into the TV Station. Inside...
Quistis: "We need to restrain him!"
Squall (to Seifer): "What do you think you're doing?"
Seifer: "It's obvious, ain't it!? What are you planning to do with this guy?"
Squall: "...Planning to do?" 'That's right... He knows Rinoa. Is that why he's here?'
Zell: "I get it! You're Rinoa's..."
Seifer: "Shut your damn mouth! Chicken-wuss!"
Quistis: "He broke out of the disciplinary room, injuring many in the process."
Zell: "YOU STUPID IDIOT!"
Squall: 'Zell, please.' "Be quiet."
Ranma: ' why do I have this feeling like we really into it'
Zell: "Instructor, I know! You're gonna take this stupid idiot back to Garden, right!?"
Squall: "Shut up! NO!"
President Deling: "I see... So you're all from Garden. Should anything happen to me, the entire Galbadian military will undoubtedly crush Garden. You can let go of me now."
Seifer (to Zell): "Nice going, Chicken-wuss! You and your stupid big mouth! Take care of this mess! Instructor, Mr. Magician, and Mr. Leader!
Seifer with his gunblade on the president steps to the other room. Quistis follows him. Squall's group also follows them as well. In the next room...
Seifer: "!?"
???: "...Poor, poor boy..."
He saw a figure from the shadows.
Seifer: "Stay away from me!"
It's the mysterious sorceress.
Edea: "Such a confused little boy. Are you going to step forward? Retreat? You have to decide."
Seifer: "Stay back!"
The group entered the room, but then the sorceress cast something to push them back and freeze them
Edea: "The boy in you is telling you to come. The adult in you is telling you to back off. You can't make up your mind. You don't know the right answer. You want help, don't you? You want to be saved from this predicament."
Seifer: "Shut up!"
Edea: "Don't be ashamed to ask for help. Besides, you're only a little boy."
Seifer: "I'm not... Stop calling me a boy."
Edea: "You don't want to be a boy anymore?"
Seifer: "I am not a BOY!"
Seifer lets go of President Deling. The president ran.
Edea: "Come with me to a place of no return. Bid farewell to your childhood."
When sorceress and Seifer disappeared, the group unfreeze. Then Rinoa appeared with Selphie.
Rinoa: "Hey guys! Where's Seifer?"
Squall: "We don't know."
Rinoa: "He'll be ok, right?"
Ranma: 'What the hell? I was sure that there was someone here, and what a strange aura? Its evil, but at the same time its not.'
Squall's group met up with Quistis and Rinoa.
Rinoa: "They found our base. It's completely destroyed."
Selphie: "And everyone else?"
Rinoa: "They're fine. They're good at escaping."
They move on. Squall's group met Rinoa and Quistis in the ground.
Rinoa: "We have to stay away from Timber for a while. Is there a safe place you can take me? This is an order, an order from your client, remember?"
Squall: "...Alright."
Squall moves on. They met up with Rinoa and Quistis in the pub.
Woman: "Rinoa! I heard your base is in serious trouble. Come over to my place until things settle down."
Rinoa: "I appreciate it. Thank you..."
Quistis(to Squall): "What are you waiting for Squall? Come on!"
Squall's group met up with Rinoa and Quistis again.
Rinoa: "This way!"
Later near the woman's house...
Rinoa: "This is it."
Inside...
Woman: "I'll let you know if anything changes. 'Til then, make yourself at home."
Rinoa: "Thanks, chief."
Squall: Chief?
Rinoa: "She's the leader of the 'Forest Fox'. Almost everyone's a resistance member in this town. But right now, we're the only ones that are really active. Let's stay here for a while."
Brightness appeared.
Selphie: "I still don't get it. What did Seifer come here for?"
Rinoa: "I think...he came to help us, the 'Forest Owls'. I talked about it a lot with him. So please...don't think too badly of him."
A knock...
Galbadian Soldier: "Anybody in here!?"
Woman: "What is this!? I have 2 small children in there. Don't do anything to frighten them!"
A girl came downstairs.
Girl: "Upstairs... Hurry!"
Rinoa: "Will she be ok?"
Girl: "She'll be fine. The legend goes...that my mother took down many soldiers with her strength, cooking, and beauty."
Selphie: "That 'beauty' part sure makes it sound like a legend."
Ranma: "she reminds me of me mother and he katana"
On the second floor, Squall talks to Quistis.
Quistis: "He was so angry when he found out it was only the 4 of you dispatched to Timber. What!? They might end up fightin' the whole Galbadian force! And all they dispatch are 3 rookie SeeD members!? Dammit! I'm going to Timber! I never would have guessed he was serious about it."
Squall And Ranma: 'That guy's always serious. You should know that by now...'
Squall talks to Quistis again.
Quistis: "What's going to happen to Seifer?"
Squall: "He may already be dead."
Rinoa: "How can you be so casual? I feel...sorry for him."
Ranma: '...Feel sorry? Seifer would hate to hear that.' (laughs)
Rinoa (to Ranma): "What's so funny!? You're terrible!"
Selphie (to Squall): "So...why do you think Seifer may already be dead?"
Squall: 'Because...' "The president of Galbadia and the sorceress joined forces. Seifer attacked the president. It's no surprise that Seifer may have been killed because of it."
Rinoa: "Even so! I still hope he's alive."
Squall: 'Think what you want, ...Reality isn't so kind. Everything doesn't work out the way you want it to. That's why...' "As long as you don't get your hopes up, you can take anything... You feel less pain. Anyway, whatever wish you have is none of my business."
Rinoa: "...You're mean. MEANY!!!"
Squall: 'What's with her...?' "...Sorry."
Ranma: ' Squall still close himself from the other people'
The woman came back.
Woman: "The Galbadian forces are withdrawing. Only the soldiers normally stationed here will stick around. If you're gonna leave town, now's your chance! You know how persistent those soldiers can be!"
Downstairs...
Quistis: "Squall, any thoughts on where to go?"
Squall: 'We have to get out of here first...'
Quistis: "Getting out of here is only the first step."
Squall: "What do you mean?"
Quistis: "Garden Code, Article 8, line 7."
Squall: '8.7......, In the event that returning to the assigned Garden is not possible, report to the nearest Garden......' "Head for the nearest Garden..."
Quistis: "Very good! From here, that would be Galbadia Garden."
Rinoa: "We can take the train from here and get off at a station called East Academy."
Quistis: "From there, we have to go through the forest west of the station to get to Galbadia Garden. I've been there several times. We should be ok."
Ranma: "Let's go!"
Woman: "You be careful, now."
Squall's group met up with the other party.
Mystery Man (Zone in disguise): "Rinoa, Squall! It's me!"
Rinoa: "Zone!"
Zone: "You need to go to East Academy, right? There's no more tickets left."
Selphie: "Super-Duper-Mega-Bummer!"
Squall: "We'll do whatever it takes to get on that train."
Zone: "You won't have to do that. Lookey here! I have everyone's ticket right here! (giving one to Rinoa) One for you. (giving 4 to Squall) 4 for you SeeD people. Here, I'll give them to the leader. And the last one is for me...... (thinks it over and talks to Quistis) Go on. Take it."
Quistis: "I can't take that. It's yours!"
Zone (hold his stomach): "Ouch!"
Zone gave Quistis a ticket.
Zone: "OuuuuuuucH! My stomach hurts! Ouch!! Just get going! The train's leaving."
Quistis: "Thank you."
Rinoa: "Zone...... We're gonna see each other again, ok? No matter what, you have to survive. We have to liberate Timber together, remember?"
Zone: "I know, I know, I'll go hide in a bathroom or something. Now get going."
Ranma group is about to approach the train entrance.
Later they get off the East Academy Station. They travel to Timber Forest. In there...
Quistis: "We're not too far from Galbadia Garden now!"
Selphie: "Hey, I was just thinking... There might be some bad news from the Galbadian government. What if we get caught and then get broadcast to the whole world...!?"
Zell: "Whatever happens, happens! Now come on! Let's just keep going! I, I'm worried about Balamb Garden. If anything happens to Garden, it's all my fault. I'm the one who said we were all from Garden... (to Squall) you think the president will retaliate on Garden?"
Squall: "Maybe."
Zell: "...Figures... (shakes Squall) B-B-But, we have a whole bunch of SeeDs at Balamb Garden! They wouldn't lose to the Galbadian army, would they?"
Squall: "Depends how strong the army is".
Zell: "I know, but..."
Ranma: "Quiet, Something out there"
Squall: "Ranma what is it?"
Ranma: "I don't know, its not normal"
Suddenly a black flame came out of nowhere and a figure came out.
Ranma: "YOU?!"
Seig: "yes me"
Ranma: "what do you what now?"
Squall: "Ranma, do you know him?"
Ranma: "you can say that, he is the one that summoned that monster on the tower"
Seig: "oh I have a job to do, but now I here to kill you"
Ranma: "well what are you waiting for, let fight"
Seig: "oh its not me who going to fight you, its my pet"
(A/N: to say at least I am not good inbattle scene)
Seig then snapped his finger and a black circle appeared where Ranma is, then suddenly a arm appeared and grabbed ranma from his head.
Squall: "RANMA"
Soon the figure appeared from the ground. Its large, purple skin , point ears, and have black eyes. Ranma looked at it, fear came to him, it was something that he didn't want to see.(A.N: Use you imagination)
Ranma: "C..CAATTT. WHAAAAAAAA"
Squall: "oh no"
Ranma: "GET IT AWAY FROM ME"
Seig: "Hahaha, what more beautiful way to die from what you from fear the most"
Zell: "Squall, We have to help him?"
Zell began to step forward only by to be stopped by Squall.
Squall: "Stay back"
Quistis: "but why? Ranma is trouble"
Squall: "look"
The group was confused but the looked and they saw Ranma quit struggling, then they heard a sound.
Zell: "did I just heard Ranma meowed"
Squall just nodded.
Ranma : "MEOW'
Seig: "what?"
Ranma then slashed the monsters arm and it cut off. The monster roared in pain, and Ranma landed on four and began to attack. The monster didn't know what happened because the next thing it knew was blackness.
Seig: "what the hell? How did he kill my pet?"
Ranma saw Seig and attack him with slash on his face. Seig screamed in his pain and then escaped.
The group didn't move from there places when the saw Ranma just attack with rage, they shook out of there shock when Ranma walked toward them, or rather toward Quistis. Ranma began to sniff her and the jumped at here, Quistis closed her eyes when she felt falling on the ground and she waited from the man has she ever loved to kill her. After few moments she opened her and saw Ranma purring on her lap.
Zell: "Now I saw every thing"
Quistis blushed when Ranma kissed her and began to sleep. The group just laughed. After a while, Ranma began to stir and opened his eyes. Then he saw where is he and jumped back blushing badly.
Ranma (blushing) : "um sorry"
Quistis (blushing): "that ok"
Ranma: "what happened?"
Squall was about to say but suddenly felt strange.
Squall: (...What the!?) (...This sensation...)
Squall collapsed.
Quistis: Uhh...
Quistis collapsed.
Ranma: "Quistis"
Selphie: "M...Me, too..."
Selphie collapsed.
Rinoa: "What's going on!?"
Zell: "I think... they went to the 'dream world'."
Ranma: "Again?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

Seed Ranma
Chapter 8
After leave the gang with Rinoa, Ranma and Selphie went to take a walk to look around. They found that the place filled with Galbadian Soldiers.
Ranma: "Wow, I never thought it was this bad"
Selphie: "yeah, and they don't treat them nicely. They should be love and peace together"
Ranma stared at her. He didn't know if she was just cheerful person or just dense. They continued until they found a pub entrance but found three Galbadian Soldiers talking.
Galbadian Soldier 1: "Heh heh...for a country bumpkin he sure had some good stuff."
Galbadian Soldier 2: "Yo, better ease off a little. These Timber hicks hate us enough as it is."
Galbadian Soldier 1 (notices Ranma and Selphie): "......!"
Galbadian Soldier 2 (also notices): "!!!"
Galbadian Soldier 1: "Its those SeeD brats. Let's get 'em!"
Ranma (in defence): "HEY, what did we do?"
Selphie: "Ranma...I think they are talking about the kidnapping mission'
Ranma: "oh"
Selphie sweat dropped. The battle went very fast, Ranma did most of the attack while Selphie casting spells.
After the battle...
Ranma: "man...that was easy. I was hoping for good workout. Oh well"
Selphie just shook her head. Ranma then notices something on the ground. It was a Buel Card.
Ranma (picking up the card): "what's this?"
Selphie (looked): "oh that was a Buel card. That you can use to play cards"
Ranma: "oh well. Might as well keep it"
Ranma and Selphie entered the pub. They noticed the only ones around were the owner, a man, and a drunken old man grumping at the back door. Ranma just had a few flashbacks that had his father in the same way. So Ranma thought to see what's wrong with him, then he notices that owner.
Ranma: "excuse me, but what's with the old man?"
Pub owner: "well, some Galbadian soldiers came by and mug the poor guy."
Ranma then walked toward the old man.
Ranma: "Hey old man. What's Wrong?"
Drifter: "What's Wrong? WHAT'S WRONG??? I'll tell you what's wrong. I've had enough of this city! I came from Dollet to have me a good time. And now... Trains are no longer running... Can't even stay in a hotel because of some stupid official...! Harassed by Galbadian soldiers... Had my precious card stolen... This hasn't been my day..."
Man: "Those jerks... They think they can use brute force to get anything they want. Hell... This town's a good example..."
Drifter: "Yeah... Everything's jacked up because the resistance tried to kidnap the president. Thanks to them, the trains have stopped... There's Galbadian soldiers all over the place... ......All because of them!!! Don't they understand I'm the one suffering from their reckless actions!? Stupid, boneheaded, good-for-nothing resistance! You can just kiss my ass."
Ranma: "oh come, you can't just blame them"
Man: "yeah, you don't understand anything! The resistance is fighting for Timber's future! They're all going the best they can. It's the Galbadian soldiers and their leader who are at fault!"
Drifter (grumbling): "Pshhh..."
Ranma (sigh): "I found something outside. Maybe its your."
Drifter: "Huh?"
Ranma showed the card.
Drifter: "Huh? ...It is! Why do you have it!?"
Ranma: "I told you that I found it outside"
Drifter: "Are you serious? ......Okay. Thanks. Know what? I'm feelin' generous! So you can keep that card. And also...this one!!"
Ranma received Tonberry Card.
Ranma: "Gee, Thanks. I think"
Ranma returned where Selphie was sitting.
Ranma: "Hey, did you order anything?"
Selphie: "Nope. Just waiting for you?"
Ranma: "OK, lets see what they have here"
Ranma picked up the menu and looked at it.
Later...
Ranma: "OH YEAH, now that's what I call a snack"
Selphie just looked at him as if he just grown an extra head. Where she ordered a chocolate Sundae, he ordered 5 from every thing on the menu. The pub owner fainted when he was taking the order, but he got the money that Ranma gave him so he kept quiet. She shook her head when she heard what he said.
Selphie: "Um...Ranma?"
Ranma (looking at her): "Yeah Selphie, What is it?"
Selphie: "Um...I heard you said that was a snack. So I was wondering if I heard wrong?"
Ranma (confused): "Um...yeah. Usually I eat less than this, it just I didn't ate breakfast. Remember?"
Selphie: "Oh yeah" ' it's amazing since he keeps in great shape'
Just then the door opened revealing Squall and the others, and they notices them.
Zell: "Hey guys, what are you doing here?"
Selphie: "Us? Well we just finishing our 'snack'. So what are you guys doing here?"
Squall: "We found out that there a way to the station since the main entrance is blocked"
Ranma: "Ok, since we all here why we tag along"
Squall: "ok, lets go"
They walked toward the back door where the Drifter was laying.
Ranma: "Hey old man, we need to use the door do you mind"
Drifter: "Sure why not? (to the owner) Hey, owner. I can't stand up. Can ya help me?"
The owner moved the Drifter out of the doorway. The gang moves on.
Ranma (to squall): "...so I told him that I found his card outsi..."
???: "meow"
Ranma went stiff. He did not hear what he heard just now. He turned to where the sound is, and there it was those furry things. Even thought he was brought into this world not to mention that he was turned into 7 year old, he still has the fear, or a better word influence of the cat fist.
Rinoa (confused): "Ranma, what's wrong?"
The others are also confused by his actions. They saw him looking at the side, so they looked and they so a kitten.
Rinoa and Selphie "OH HOW CUTE!"
But to Ranma it isn't cute.
Ranma (shivering): "C..C..CA...CAAAATTTT"
Squall remembered about the Cat Fist, he also remembers when Ranma went cat first time and let's just say it's wasn't safe.
Squall: "Hey Selphie, can you put the kitten away from"
Selphie: "But Why?"
Squall: "Just Do it"
So Selphie picked up the kitten and walked away from Ranma.
Zell (confused): "What's that all about? Don't tell that Ranma is afraid of c..."
Ranma (interrupting): "DON'T SAY THAT WORD"
Zell: "ok, ok. Just don't get jumpy"
Rinoa: "Squall, what's wrong with Ranma?"
Squall: "Let's just say that it's better to not know for his and our safety. C'mon lets go"
Shiva: * Ranma we found something *
Ranma then remembered the voice.
Ranma: * What is it Shiva? *
Diablos: * We found something not inside your mind, but in you aura *
Shiva: * what he means that since you have the fear, that you didn't have complete access to your full potential*
Ranma: * wait a sec, you mean to tell me that since I have the fear I didn't reach me limit *
Diablos: * In a way, yes. But you have to stay in your cat stance to find your limit *
Ranma: * it ain't going to happen *
Shiva: * but it may help you *
Ranma didn't answer. He knew that they are right, but he didn't to hurt his friends since he have n o control in his other stance. What he didn't know that soon he will have a chance.
Nobody notice that someone was watching them...
Seig: "Well, well, well. Now that I know your fear, I know just the beast for you to finish you. HAHAHAHA"
Seig then disappeared.
As Squall's group went upstairs, they saw an outside monitor...
Zell: "Whoa, an outdoor TV!"
Rinoa: "This is creepy... What is it?"
Squall: "This noise is broadcast over most of the frequencies. Something has to be done about this before they can broadcast it over the air."
Zell: "Oh, really? Actually, I was wondering myself."
Watts arrived.
Watts: "The president's in the studios now, sir. Too many guards now, so we won't be able to storm the place, sir!"
Watts left.
Ranma: 'Man, he is really into it."
Rinoa: "So we can't just rush in... We've gotta come up with a new plan now! If the president leaves, maybe the guards will be gone, too? That's when we do OUR broadcast. It might not be as influential but it's better than nothing, right? We don't stand a chance if we take 'em head on, right?"
Ranma: "Lets just see if they can"
Squall: "Don't worry about us. We'll fight your enemies based on your decision. That's our duty."
Zell: "You tell us to go, we go. Even if it is a losing battle."
Rinoa: "How sad... Act on my decision? That's our duty? Oh, what an easy life it must be, just to follow orders..."
Squall: "Call it what you want. All we want is for you to achieve your goal using our help. I find it hard to believe that you can do it, though..."
Ranma: ' oh boy, I wonder if he got my foot in the mouth disease'
Rinoa: "W-What did you say!? If you have something to say, just say it!"
Squall: "Forget it."
Rinoa: "You started it. The least you can do is finish it. Come on, what's on your mind?"
Squall: "...Just forget it."
Rinoa: "...Tell me. This is an order. An order from your client!"
Squall: "How serious are you...? Really...? The 3 of you plop down on the floor to discuss strategy? On top of that, you can't make a decision without our input, right? How do you think we feel, working for such an organization?"
Ranma (whispering): "Hey Squall, Cool down."
Squall: "...Sorry. Guess I got a little carried away."
Rinoa: "You know... Maybe this was all a big mistake. I thought everything would work out fine once SeeD came to help us. But, I guess it's not that easy. You were all hired. It's not like you're one of us. Um, let's see... We'll cancel the plan, and we'll disperse for now. We don't stand a chance if we take 'em head on, right? So...you guys probably think this is all a game to us. ...Well, it's not! We're serious. So serious...it hurts."
Rinoa left. Selphie came to join Squall, Ranma, and Zell.
Selphie: "...Heeey?:"
The monitor goes into static.
Selphie: "Are they starting?"
Meanwhile in the TV Station as they are broadcasting...
Announcer: "T-Testing...1...2... Testing... Testing... Ohhhh! P-People of the world! Can you see me!? Can you hear me!? Oh, this is incredible! Ladies and gentlemen, this is not a recording! This is an actual broadcast over the air! Yes, it's been 17 years since a live broadcast has been possible! Oh, please excuse me... I seem to have lost my composure. We would like to present to you today a message from the lifelong President of Galbadia, Vinzer Deling. Ladies and gentlemen, President Deling."
President Deling arrived to the podium.
President Deling: "Greetings, I am Vinzer Deling, lifelong president of Galbadia. Today, I stand before you to make the following proposition. We the people of this world have the power to end all wars."
Selphie: (to herself) "See, see! It's a peaceful proposal to the world. I knew it!"
President Deling: "Unfortunately, there are some trifling problems standing between Galbadia and other nations, and they must be resolved."
Suddenly a noise of breaking...
President Deling: "I plan to convene with other nations' leaders immediately to resolve these problems. At this time allow me to introduce the ambassador who will be my representative for the conference."
Zell: (to himself) "Man! All this just to introduce an ambassador."
President Deling: "The ambassador is the Sorceress..."
Squall: (to himself) "...The Sorceress?"
Suddenly, Seifer came and crashed the speech.
Selphie: "Heeey!"
Zell: "Seifer!"
Ranma: "Stupid"
The Galbadian Soldiers tried to restrain him and get him out but Seifer fought them. Then Seifer placed his gunblade on President Deling.
Selphie: "What's he doin'!?"
Then Quistis came to stop Seifier
Zell: "Instructor Trepe!?"
Quistis (to the Galbadian Soldiers): "Stay back!"
Zell: "Squall, what are we gonna do!?"
Quistis: "For the last time, stay back! You're only going to provoke him."
Squall: "...Nothing. Our job is to assist the Owls. It's none of our business."
Quistis: "Timber Team, are you watching? Get over here right now! You HAVE permission! I need your help!"
Zell: "Squall!?"
Selphie: "Squad leader!"
Squall: "alright, Selphie get Rinoa. Meet us inside."
Selphie: "Right"
Squall's group immediately heads into the TV Station. Inside...
Quistis: "We need to restrain him!"
Squall (to Seifer): "What do you think you're doing?"
Seifer: "It's obvious, ain't it!? What are you planning to do with this guy?"
Squall: "...Planning to do?" 'That's right... He knows Rinoa. Is that why he's here?'
Zell: "I get it! You're Rinoa's..."
Seifer: "Shut your damn mouth! Chicken-wuss!"
Quistis: "He broke out of the disciplinary room, injuring many in the process."
Zell: "YOU STUPID IDIOT!"
Squall: 'Zell, please.' "Be quiet."
Ranma: ' why do I have this feeling like we really into it'
Zell: "Instructor, I know! You're gonna take this stupid idiot back to Garden, right!?"
Squall: "Shut up! NO!"
President Deling: "I see... So you're all from Garden. Should anything happen to me, the entire Galbadian military will undoubtedly crush Garden. You can let go of me now."
Seifer (to Zell): "Nice going, Chicken-wuss! You and your stupid big mouth! Take care of this mess! Instructor, Mr. Magician, and Mr. Leader!
Seifer with his gunblade on the president steps to the other room. Quistis follows him. Squall's group also follows them as well. In the next room...
Seifer: "!?"
???: "...Poor, poor boy..."
He saw a figure from the shadows.
Seifer: "Stay away from me!"
It's the mysterious sorceress.
Edea: "Such a confused little boy. Are you going to step forward? Retreat? You have to decide."
Seifer: "Stay back!"
The group entered the room, but then the sorceress cast something to push them back and freeze them
Edea: "The boy in you is telling you to come. The adult in you is telling you to back off. You can't make up your mind. You don't know the right answer. You want help, don't you? You want to be saved from this predicament."
Seifer: "Shut up!"
Edea: "Don't be ashamed to ask for help. Besides, you're only a little boy."
Seifer: "I'm not... Stop calling me a boy."
Edea: "You don't want to be a boy anymore?"
Seifer: "I am not a BOY!"
Seifer lets go of President Deling. The president ran.
Edea: "Come with me to a place of no return. Bid farewell to your childhood."
When sorceress and Seifer disappeared, the group unfreeze. Then Rinoa appeared with Selphie.
Rinoa: "Hey guys! Where's Seifer?"
Squall: "We don't know."
Rinoa: "He'll be ok, right?"
Ranma: 'What the hell? I was sure that there was someone here, and what a strange aura? Its evil, but at the same time its not.'
Squall's group met up with Quistis and Rinoa.
Rinoa: "They found our base. It's completely destroyed."
Selphie: "And everyone else?"
Rinoa: "They're fine. They're good at escaping."
They move on. Squall's group met Rinoa and Quistis in the ground.
Rinoa: "We have to stay away from Timber for a while. Is there a safe place you can take me? This is an order, an order from your client, remember?"
Squall: "...Alright."
Squall moves on. They met up with Rinoa and Quistis in the pub.
Woman: "Rinoa! I heard your base is in serious trouble. Come over to my place until things settle down."
Rinoa: "I appreciate it. Thank you..."
Quistis(to Squall): "What are you waiting for Squall? Come on!"
Squall's group met up with Rinoa and Quistis again.
Rinoa: "This way!"
Later near the woman's house...
Rinoa: "This is it."
Inside...
Woman: "I'll let you know if anything changes. 'Til then, make yourself at home."
Rinoa: "Thanks, chief."
Squall: Chief?
Rinoa: "She's the leader of the 'Forest Fox'. Almost everyone's a resistance member in this town. But right now, we're the only ones that are really active. Let's stay here for a while."
Brightness appeared.
Selphie: "I still don't get it. What did Seifer come here for?"
Rinoa: "I think...he came to help us, the 'Forest Owls'. I talked about it a lot with him. So please...don't think too badly of him."
A knock...
Galbadian Soldier: "Anybody in here!?"
Woman: "What is this!? I have 2 small children in there. Don't do anything to frighten them!"
A girl came downstairs.
Girl: "Upstairs... Hurry!"
Rinoa: "Will she be ok?"
Girl: "She'll be fine. The legend goes...that my mother took down many soldiers with her strength, cooking, and beauty."
Selphie: "That 'beauty' part sure makes it sound like a legend."
Ranma: "she reminds me of me mother and he katana"
On the second floor, Squall talks to Quistis.
Quistis: "He was so angry when he found out it was only the 4 of you dispatched to Timber. What!? They might end up fightin' the whole Galbadian force! And all they dispatch are 3 rookie SeeD members!? Dammit! I'm going to Timber! I never would have guessed he was serious about it."
Squall And Ranma: 'That guy's always serious. You should know that by now...'
Squall talks to Quistis again.
Quistis: "What's going to happen to Seifer?"
Squall: "He may already be dead."
Rinoa: "How can you be so casual? I feel...sorry for him."
Ranma: '...Feel sorry? Seifer would hate to hear that.' (laughs)
Rinoa (to Ranma): "What's so funny!? You're terrible!"
Selphie (to Squall): "So...why do you think Seifer may already be dead?"
Squall: 'Because...' "The president of Galbadia and the sorceress joined forces. Seifer attacked the president. It's no surprise that Seifer may have been killed because of it."
Rinoa: "Even so! I still hope he's alive."
Squall: 'Think what you want, ...Reality isn't so kind. Everything doesn't work out the way you want it to. That's why...' "As long as you don't get your hopes up, you can take anything... You feel less pain. Anyway, whatever wish you have is none of my business."
Rinoa: "...You're mean. MEANY!!!"
Squall: 'What's with her...?' "...Sorry."
Ranma: ' Squall still close himself from the other people'
The woman came back.
Woman: "The Galbadian forces are withdrawing. Only the soldiers normally stationed here will stick around. If you're gonna leave town, now's your chance! You know how persistent those soldiers can be!"
Downstairs...
Quistis: "Squall, any thoughts on where to go?"
Squall: 'We have to get out of here first...'
Quistis: "Getting out of here is only the first step."
Squall: "What do you mean?"
Quistis: "Garden Code, Article 8, line 7."
Squall: '8.7......, In the event that returning to the assigned Garden is not possible, report to the nearest Garden......' "Head for the nearest Garden..."
Quistis: "Very good! From here, that would be Galbadia Garden."
Rinoa: "We can take the train from here and get off at a station called East Academy."
Quistis: "From there, we have to go through the forest west of the station to get to Galbadia Garden. I've been there several times. We should be ok."
Ranma: "Let's go!"
Woman: "You be careful, now."
Squall's group met up with the other party.
Mystery Man (Zone in disguise): "Rinoa, Squall! It's me!"
Rinoa: "Zone!"
Zone: "You need to go to East Academy, right? There's no more tickets left."
Selphie: "Super-Duper-Mega-Bummer!"
Squall: "We'll do whatever it takes to get on that train."
Zone: "You won't have to do that. Lookey here! I have everyone's ticket right here! (giving one to Rinoa) One for you. (giving 4 to Squall) 4 for you SeeD people. Here, I'll give them to the leader. And the last one is for me...... (thinks it over and talks to Quistis) Go on. Take it."
Quistis: "I can't take that. It's yours!"
Zone (hold his stomach): "Ouch!"
Zone gave Quistis a ticket.
Zone: "OuuuuuuucH! My stomach hurts! Ouch!! Just get going! The train's leaving."
Quistis: "Thank you."
Rinoa: "Zone...... We're gonna see each other again, ok? No matter what, you have to survive. We have to liberate Timber together, remember?"
Zone: "I know, I know, I'll go hide in a bathroom or something. Now get going."
Ranma group is about to approach the train entrance.
Later they get off the East Academy Station. They travel to Timber Forest. In there...
Quistis: "We're not too far from Galbadia Garden now!"
Selphie: "Hey, I was just thinking... There might be some bad news from the Galbadian government. What if we get caught and then get broadcast to the whole world...!?"
Zell: "Whatever happens, happens! Now come on! Let's just keep going! I, I'm worried about Balamb Garden. If anything happens to Garden, it's all my fault. I'm the one who said we were all from Garden... (to Squall) you think the president will retaliate on Garden?"
Squall: "Maybe."
Zell: "...Figures... (shakes Squall) B-B-But, we have a whole bunch of SeeDs at Balamb Garden! They wouldn't lose to the Galbadian army, would they?"
Squall: "Depends how strong the army is".
Zell: "I know, but..."
Ranma: "Quiet, Something out there"
Squall: "Ranma what is it?"
Ranma: "I don't know, its not normal"
Suddenly a black flame came out of nowhere and a figure came out.
Ranma: "YOU?!"
Seig: "yes me"
Ranma: "what do you what now?"
Squall: "Ranma, do you know him?"
Ranma: "you can say that, he is the one that summoned that monster on the tower"
Seig: "oh I have a job to do, but now I here to kill you"
Ranma: "well what are you waiting for, let fight"
Seig: "oh its not me who going to fight you, its my pet"
(A/N: to say at least I am not good inbattle scene)
Seig then snapped his finger and a black circle appeared where Ranma is, then suddenly a arm appeared and grabbed ranma from his head.
Squall: "RANMA"
Soon the figure appeared from the ground. Its large, purple skin , point ears, and have black eyes. Ranma looked at it, fear came to him, it was something that he didn't want to see.(A.N: Use you imagination)
Ranma: "C..CAATTT. WHAAAAAAAA"
Squall: "oh no"
Ranma: "GET IT AWAY FROM ME"
Seig: "Hahaha, what more beautiful way to die from what you from fear the most"
Zell: "Squall, We have to help him?"
Zell began to step forward only by to be stopped by Squall.
Squall: "Stay back"
Quistis: "but why? Ranma is trouble"
Squall: "look"
The group was confused but the looked and they saw Ranma quit struggling, then they heard a sound.
Zell: "did I just heard Ranma meowed"
Squall just nodded.
Ranma : "MEOW'
Seig: "what?"
Ranma then slashed the monsters arm and it cut off. The monster roared in pain, and Ranma landed on four and began to attack. The monster didn't know what happened because the next thing it knew was blackness.
Seig: "what the hell? How did he kill my pet?"
Ranma saw Seig and attack him with slash on his face. Seig screamed in his pain and then escaped.
The group didn't move from there places when the saw Ranma just attack with rage, they shook out of there shock when Ranma walked toward them, or rather toward Quistis. Ranma began to sniff her and the jumped at here, Quistis closed her eyes when she felt falling on the ground and she waited from the man has she ever loved to kill her. After few moments she opened her and saw Ranma purring on her lap.
Zell: "Now I saw every thing"
Quistis blushed when Ranma kissed her and began to sleep. The group just laughed. After a while, Ranma began to stir and opened his eyes. Then he saw where is he and jumped back blushing badly.
Ranma (blushing) : "um sorry"
Quistis (blushing): "that ok"
Ranma: "what happened?"
Squall was about to say but suddenly felt strange.
Squall: (...What the!?) (...This sensation...)
Squall collapsed.
Quistis: Uhh...
Quistis collapsed.
Ranma: "Quistis"
Selphie: "M...Me, too..."
Selphie collapsed.
Rinoa: "What's going on!?"
Zell: "I think... they went to the 'dream world'."
Ranma: "Again?" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
