"Talking" 'Thinking' (Action) *Telepathic*
Seed Ranma
Chapter 9
Ranma (shocked): "...I DID WHAT?"
Rinoa was giggling while Zell was rolling on the ground laughing. Ranma blushed. He remembered the first time he kissed Akane while he was cat, but he didn't believe that he did it again to Quistis, except that he thinks he may have a feeling for her.
Rinoa (giggling): "You should see her blushing. I think it is so romantic"
Zell: "Man I never knew that you had feeling for her"
Ranma (getting angry): "ok, ok. Can you leave this till later"
Zell: "...."
Ranma: "I know Zell that you are worried about the garden, but personally I don't think that is your fault."
Zell (depressed): "I know that, but I can't help what is going to happen now"
Ranma: "Hey, came on cheer up. Hey guess what, how about when we return the garden I train you and teach one of my techniques"
Zell (brightened): " Really? You will?!"
Ranma nodded.
Zell: "YAHOOOOOOOO!!!!"
Zell kept jumping like a kid on high sugar and then went to work out. After Zell is gone, Rinao walked toward Ranma.
Rinoa: "That is so nice of you. Not like that jerk, Squall"
Ranma: "oh I don't think you should say that"
Rinoa (confused): "What? Why? You seen how he help his team when they are in trouble"
Ranma: "From your front of view, I'll way yeah. But you don't know why he is doing what he is doing. You should know that for one goal"
Rinoa: "So what is his goal?"
Ranma: "That I can't tell, but I will give a hind why he is doing this because he missed someone very important to him so promised himself that well talk care of him self."
After few moments, for odd reason, Rinoa nodded
Rinoa: "why are you telling me this?"
Ranma (smiling): "Well I think that you're the perfect person for him that will bring him out of his shell (smirking) and it does help when you're pretty"
Rinoa blushed.
Shiva: * Hey Ranma, we found something interesting about your condition. *
Ranma wondered what does Shiva mean when he figured she is talking about Cat Fist.
Ranma: * You mean Cat Fist? *
Diablos: * You'll see what do we mean when you get here*
Ranma nodded as he began to meditate. After few moments, Ranma found himself in a black void infront of him were Diablos and Shiva.
Ranma: "So what do what to tell me?"
Shiva: "We found out there is more about Cat Fist than you think"
Diablos: "Its is more dangerous than we thought"
Ranma: "Ok, now you guys are about to freak me out"
Shiva (sigh): "I think its is better to show you"
Shiva pointed behind him, Ranma wondered what is she pointing at so he turned around. He didn't like what he saw. In front of him was like a gate with like a glowing symbol, but that wasn't the thing. It was what behind that gate. There laying behind it was a really big cat, or to be precise a sabre-tooth tiger, it has a arm length fangs, black skin, golden glowing slit eyes, and has red blood aura surrounding it. Ranma just standing there in shock, he didn't think that there something like this inside his head. He was shook from his shock when he hear it talking to him with voice that has power.
???: "I WAS WONDERING WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO NOTICE ME"
Ranma (blinking): "um...hi...ah ... my name is Ranma, um is was wondering what or who are you?"
Shadow: "YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT AM I. AS FOR MY NAME CALL ME SHADOW"
Ranma: "Shadow, cool name. Are you who do the Cat Fist?"
Shadow: "I AM THE CAT FIST, KIT"
Ranma: "ok so what to know what's wrong with me"
Shadow: "I WILL TELL YOU, KIT. THE CAT FIST TRINING WILL HAVE ONE OF TWO; EITHER THE TRAINE WILL HAVE A MAIN OF A CAT OR DEAD. WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW THAT FOR EVERY THOUSAND YEARS ONLY ONE CAN MASTER THE CAT FIST."
Ranma (disbelief): "You mean to tell me that I am the one? But I don't have complete control over it."
Shadow: "BLAME THAT ONE ON YOUR FOOLISH YOU CALL FATHER. BEFORE THE TRAINING, YOUR FATHER SHOULD LEAVE WITH THE KITS SO YOU CAN HAVE BOND BEFORE THE TRAINING"
Ranma blinked. So rage began to grow inside him, a red battle aura began to show around him. Finally he let out a shout.
Ranma: "GENMA NO BAKA. THAT'S IT. IF I EVER FIND YOU, YOU WILL WISH YOU DIDN'T MAKE ME YOUR ENEMY"
Ranma began on with how many ways of torturing a panda. The others were impressed by Ranma's torture.
Ranma (sigh): "So what now?"
Shadow: "THERE IS MORE. AS A RESULT OF THE TRAINING, YOUR ABILITIES, POWER, AS WELL AS YOUR SOUL HAS BEEN SEALED INTO TWO"
Ranma: "WHAT?! YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT I DIDN'T REACH MY LIMIT"
Shadow: "YES."
Ranma: "well how do I access them? "
Shadow: "WHAT DO YOU THINK I HAVE?"
That statement confused Ranma until it hit him like a mallet.
Ranma: "you mean to tell me that you have my other have?"
Shadow: "YES"
Ranma: "OK then, I will get out you out of there"
Shadow: "THE ONLY THING THAT YOU WILL GET IS THE CURE OF THE FEAR"
Ranma: "What?! Then how?"
Shadow: "THERE IS A WAY"
Shiva: "Shadow can act like us, Guardians."
Diablos: "By summoning him, you can access your full ability. But"
Ranma: "But what?"
Shadow: "YOU HAVE TO DO ACCESSION "
Ranma: "what do mean Accession?"
Shadow: "ACCESSION IS DIFFERENT FROM SUMMON"
Ranma (confused): "What's the difference?"
Shadow: "ACCESSION IS LIKE ACCESSING YOUR FULL POWER"
Ranma: "So how can I Accession?"
Shadow: "THAT I DON'T KNOW"
Ranma: "oh well, It can wait later."
Shadow: "NOW FOR YOU FEAR, YOU ONLY HAVE TO BREAK THE SEAL"
Ranma: "No problem"
Ranma began to power up until a blue white aura surround him then he unleashed his attack.
Ranma: "SHIN MOKO TAKABISHA"
The blast hit the seal and nothing happened. Suddenly the seal began to loose its glow until it became a solid then the seal exploded into small particles. Then the gate began to open allowing for Shadow to walk in full glory.
Shadow: "THANK YOU"
Ranma: "hey no prob. Ok guys I think I have to go see ya"
Seconds later, Ranma opened his eyes to see the outside world.
Later when the three are sitting they heard the others waking up.
Zell (asking Selphie): "Was it Laguna again...?"
Selphie: "Sir Laguna's in BIG TROUBLE! I hope he'll be ok..."
Everybody Sweat dropped.
Quistis: "Doesn't seem like the first time for you all. What is this?"
Squall: 'If it were just me, I could tell the others it was only a crazy dream...' "We'll just be wasting time trying to figure it out. Let's keep going."
Zell: "Yeah, let's go! I think we're almost there."
Rinoa (nervous): "Umm...Squall... I think I may have said too much. I'm sorry."
Squall: 'Forget about it.'
When they finally arrived at the Galbadia Garden...
Selphie: "Wow... Completely different..."
It sure is. The building is in red, which looked like a big dome. Many students a training around. The gang entered the garden and they notice how quiet it is.
Zell: "Sure is quiet."
Squall: "...I like it."
Rinoa giggled at his comment.
Ranma: "Man, its bigger than ours"
Quistis (catching their attention): "Could you leave this one up to me? I've been here several times and I know the headmaster pretty well. I'll go and explain our situation. Go to 2nd floor, there a reception room there. Wait for me inside. "
Squall's group goes to the 2nd floor reception room. As they waited inside, Ranma wondered what the others are thinking about.
Squall: '...'
Rinoa: 'So does Quistis attended classes here?'
Selphie: 'I wonder if they have a Garden Festival here, too?'
Zell: 'How long are they gonna make us wait...?'
Quistis came in.
Squall: "How'd it go?"
Quistis: "They understand our situation. And Balamb Garden is safe. The attack on the president in Timber was classified as an independent action. There was an official notice from the Galbadian government saying that Balamb Garden is not being held responsible."
Zell sighed in relief, and then he remembered Seifer.
Zell: "So, Seifer is taking all the blame?"
Quistis (sighed): "The trial's over, and the sentence has been carried out..."
Everybody in room was shocked to say that Seifer is dead.
Rinoa: "...He was executed? ...Of course he was. He attacked the president. He sacrificed himself for the 'Forest Owls'..."
Quistis: "It was your group that got Seifer involved in all this. You're a resistance faction, right? You must have been prepared for the worst. I'm sure Seifer was prepared, too. So don't think of it as Seifer sacrificing himself for you. I'm sorry. I guess that wasn't much consolation."
After a moment of silence.
Quistis: "I don't have any good memories of him. I've seen some troubled children, but he was beyond troubled. Well, he wasn't really a bad guy."
Rinoa: "I...really liked him. He was always full of confidence, smart... Just by talking to him, I felt like I could take on the world."
Selphie: "Your boyfriend?"
Rinoa: "I don't really know. I... I think I was in love. I wonder how he felt...?"
Selphie: "Do you still like him?"
Rinoa: "If I didn't, I wouldn't be talking about it. It was last summer... I was 16. Lots of fond memories..."
Ranma: ' I wonder how can anyone have a fond memory with that guy, but still I don't he is weak enough to die'
Zell: "I didn't like the guy, but executed...?"
Selphie: "You really hated Seifer, didn't you, Zell!"
Zell: "Yeah, but... He was from Garden... He was one of us. If I can, I wanna get revenge."
Squall: 'I liked him... wasn't really a bad guy... He was one of us...Seifer... You've just become just a memory. Will they... Will they talk about me this way if I die, too? Squall was this and that. Using past tense, saying whatever they want? So this is what death is all about...Not for me. I won't have it!!!
Quistis (noticing Squall's odd behavior): "What's wrong, Squall?"
Squall: "I won't have it!"
Zell (shocked): "W-What?"
Selphie: "Are you MAD!?"
Squall before running to the door: "I'm not having anyone talk about me in the past tense!"
Squall ran out of the reception room. The others about to run after him but was interrupted by Ranma.
Ranma: "WAIT...doesn't go after him. He needs time to think that's all"
After a while where everybody was seated, Quistis asked a question.
Quistis: "Ranma, you never told us about your life. Not even the records hold any information about you or your family"
Ranma closed his eyes as if he was in deep thought. Everyone waited for him.
Shiva: * You should tell them*
Ranma (opening his eyes): "What I about to say is only between us. Ok?"
Everybody nodded.
So Ranma told them about the training trip, the Cat Fist, Jusenkyo, the girls' problem (Fiancées), Rivals, The Seppuku, the failing wedding. By the end, the gang was speechless. They didn't if they few sorry or planning a very bad thing to one panda.
Quistis: "Um, Ranma you kidding about the curse, right? There is no such thing... as...a curse?"
Right before their eyes stood a cute red hair girl with a ponytail, Blinking, and blinking to see if they were seeing things.
Ranma-girl: "So you still think the curse isn't real?"
The others shook their heads, then about something and about to ask something when Ranma interrupted.
Ranma-girl: "And the first one who ask about these (point to her chest) gets a one way ticket to the moon."
Everyone closed his or her mouths shut.
Ranma-girl: "any questions?"
Rinoa: "about the Cat Fist, is that what you did to that monster back in the forest"
Ranma-girl: "Yeah its is"
Quistis: "How old are you, Ranma?"
Ranma-girl changes back into a guy.
Ranma: "well physically I am 17 right now, but mentally I think 30"
Everybody gasped.
Rinoa: "how did it happen? You look so young."
Ranma: "well, it was that uncute tomboy's doing. She hit me, and while I was flying through the air a hole appeared in midair and I gone through it. The next thing I know I was 7 year old. At first, I thought I was cured from my curse. Then last year, the curse came back. How? I don't know."
Quistis: "Ranma, I noticed when you engage in battle. You become ruthless I was wondering why? Especially with the Galbadian force."
Ranma narrowed his eyebrows and didn't talk for few minutes.
Ranma: "It was when I travelling with Squall to Balamb Garden. I was 7 or 8 at that time. We had to stop at Timber, as you all well know that it was still war with the Galbadian. While we were waiting for the train we found a girl that tries to sell flowers even with the war going on. So I buy from her a one flower and I gave her 5 times it worth. I was trying to help her and her family. When those Galbadian soldiers began to gather around us demanding from us money. I of course fought them while covering for squall and I beat down 5 of them. Then I heard a voice, it was the mother's girl calling her. She was about to reach her when I heard gunfire. (red battle aura began to form around him) I look and I saw both of them dead. Then I snapped. Those bastards kill innocent people who didn't any thing to them, yet they killed them like some trash. (sigh) I will never forget them for they did"
By the time Ranma finished, he was emitting heat and a killing intend causing to edge away from him, all except Quistis. Seeing this, Ranma clamed down.
Ranma: "Sorry I lost control"
Zell: "Hey man, that's ok. Anyone will do what you just do"
Quistis: "That's right, Ranma. I want you just to know that were there for you"
The others nodded. Ranma smiled.
Ranma: "Thank you"
Just then the door opened revealing a guard requesting to meet the head master infront of the garden.
Later...
In the front of the Galbadian Garden, the group were waiting for the head master. Squall meet them few moments after they arrived and told them about the some order came from the Balamb garden by Fujin and Raijin. A moment later, a car arrived. Martine came out and Squall's group salutes.
Martine: "Good day. I have official orders from Headmaster Cid addressed To you. Following regulations, I have gone over these orders. After careful consideration of our options, we have decided to fully assist and cooperate with Headmaster Cid. Actually, we too, have been planning for this for quite some time now. In order to stress the importance of this mission, I must first brief you on the current situation. At ease. (the group relaxed) You all know about the sorceress being appointed as the peace ambassador for the Galbadian government. However, this ambassador thing is just a cover up. There will be no peace talks, only threats. The sorceress creates fear among people. Therefore, peace talks are impossible. Galbadia is planning to use this fear to negotiate favorable conditions for itself. It is clear that Galbadia's ultimate goal is world domination. Garden is no exception, either. It is a fact the sorceress is planning to use this Garden as her base. ...We have very few options available to us. We entrust world peace and the future to you."
Squall's group salutes.
Martine: "Details of the mission are enclosed in these official orders. Any questions?"
Squall: "The orders say by means of 'a sniper'. We have no one with that skill."
Martine: "Don't worry about it. Let me introduce an elite sharpshooter from Galbadia Garden. Kinneas! Irvine Kinneas!"
Near them was a young man laying on the grass. He is wearing a brown coat and a cowboy hat. Hearing his name, Irvine got up and walked toward them with a cool act.
Martine: "This is Irvine Kinneas. He will be your sharpshooter. Leave whenever you're ready. Failure is not an option."
Irvine (pointing at Martine): "BANG!"
Martine walked away, got in car and it drove away.
Quistis (talking to Squall): "What's our mission?"
Squall: "Our next mission... This is no ordinary mission. It's a direct order from both Balamb and Galbadia Garden. We're to... ...assassinate the sorceress. We're to shoot her from afar. Kinneas will be our sharpshooter. We're to support Kinneas to our fullest. Should the sniper fail, we are to attack head on."
Irvine: "Thanks for the support, but I never miss my target."
Ranma (raising his eye brow): "Cocky aren't you?"
Irvine (smiling): "Thank you"
Squall: "Eliminate the sorceress. That's my order. We're going to head to the capital of Galbadia, Deling City. There we'll meet up with General Caraway to go over the details for the plan. Let's get going."
Irvine: "Well then... We'll need to choose a party for the trip to Deling City."
Irvine formed his group. Mainly grouping himself with Rinoa and Selphie.
Irvine: "How's this?"
Ranma (putting his hand on his head): 'oh great, we got a pervert one'
Squall: '...That's no good.' I'll decide.
Squall chose Zell and Irvine.
Squall: "There."
Irvine : "Excellent choice, Mr. Leader."
Squall groups walking away leaving Ranma and the girls.
Ranma (scratching his head) : "At least Zell and Squall can keep an eye on him"
Then he hear giggling behind him. Slowly he turned to the girls had a strange that made a chill run on his spine and he had a feeling that he is in for it. Quistis walked toward him and hold his arm. She smiled when Ranma blushed.
Quistis: "Ranma, we have some questions"
Ranma (gulping): "yes?"
Rinoa: "It's about your special case"
Ranma (paled): 'oh no'
Later when the group entered the train.
Train Announcement: "This train, bound for Deling City, will be departing shortly."
The trains departs...
Rinoa: "This is the only train bound for Deling City anyway."
Irvine: "Hmm... Perhaps it's fate?" (goes to the next room)
Zell: "So, what do we do about HIM?"
Squall goes to the next room.
Few seconds later Irvine came back and started to 'chase' Rinoa.
Irvine: "Rinoa..."
Quistis: "Irvine Kinneas! You're playing a major role in this mission. Now behave yourself!"
Irvine (sigh): "No one understands me... Sharpshooters are loners by nature... We hone our instincts, pour our whole being into a single bullet. The pressure of the moment... An instant of tension... That's what... I have to face alone... ...It's not easy. So like... Just do me a favor, and let me be! (staring at Zell) You get my drift?"
Zell pounds the ground, which causes a shock through out the train.
Train Announcement: "Err, there was no damage to the train from that, err, minor vibration... I, uh... repeat... Err, there was no damage to the train from that, err, minor vibration..."
After arriving in Deling City, Squall's group takes the escalator up to the surface.
Zell: "What's the matter, Squall?"
Squall: "We're heading for Caraway's Mansion. It's in the government district. We're here as back-up from Galbadia Garden. Don't blow your cover. 'Is Laguna here now?'
The group proceed to the mansion.
Squall: 'Caraway is the head of the Galbadian army... Could this be a coup d'etat? ...No... I don't think he's out to overthrow the president...'
Reaching the mansion, the encountered a guard.
Caraway's Guard: "General Caraway's mansion is right through this gate, but... I can't just let you walk in."
Squall: "I believe he's been informed of our arrival."
Caraway's Guard: "Yes indeed, but... I was ordered not to let you through until your skills have been tested."
Zell: "What the hell's he talkin' about!?"
Squall: "Test our skills? What does he want us to do?"
Caraway's Guard: "The Tomb of the Unknown King to the northeast. All you have to do is go there. It's real simple, but... You have to bring back proof that you were there. A code number."
Squall (raising an eye brow): "A code number?"
Zell: "We came all the way out here for some stupid test of courage? Who does he think we are!?"
Caraway's Guard: "There are many students like yourself who wish to call on General Caraway. There was a student from Galbadia Garden yesterday, who has yet to return from the test at the Tomb of the Unknown King. The Tomb of the Unknown King is located northeast of the city. Your objective is to go to the Tomb of the Unknown King, look for traces of this lost student, and return with his ID number. You should be able to find what you're looking for shortly after you go in. The ID number should be written on it. I don't recommend going any further than you have to. You may never make it back alive. Anyway, here's a map for you."
The guard gave the map to the gang. Later at the car rent station...
Squall: "We can't go all of us there. So Ranma, you will choose who will stay and who will go with me"
Ranma: "Since this only to retrieve the Student ID. You should go with Selphie and Irvine"
Squall: "Ok then, we will meet after an hour at the mansion"
The others nodded.
Squall rented a car to take them there. Ranma's group decided to take a dinner.

Ranma: "GENMA NO BAKA. THAT'S IT. IF I EVER FIND YOU, YOU WILL WISH YOU DIDN'T MAKE ME YOUR ENEMY"
Ranma began on with how many ways of torturing a panda. The others were impressed by Ranma's torture.
Ranma (sigh): "So what now?"

Squall: "How'd it go?"
Quistis: "They understand our situation. And Balamb Garden is safe. The attack on the president in Timber was classified as an independent action. There was an official notice from the Galbadian government saying that Balamb Garden is not being held responsible."
Zell sighed in relief, and then he remembered Seifer.
Zell: "So, Seifer is taking all the blame?"
Quistis (sighed): "The trial's over, and the sentence has been carried out..."
Everybody in room was shocked to say that Seifer is dead.
Rinoa: "...He was executed? ...Of course he was. He attacked the president. He sacrificed himself for the 'Forest Owls'..."
Quistis: "It was your group that got Seifer involved in all this. You're a resistance faction, right? You must have been prepared for the worst. I'm sure Seifer was prepared, too. So don't think of it as Seifer sacrificing himself for you. I'm sorry. I guess that wasn't much consolation."
After a moment of silence.
Quistis: "I don't have any good memories of him. I've seen some troubled children, but he was beyond troubled. Well, he wasn't really a bad guy."
Rinoa: "I...really liked him. He was always full of confidence, smart... Just by talking to him, I felt like I could take on the world."
Selphie: "Your boyfriend?"
Rinoa: "I don't really know. I... I think I was in love. I wonder how he felt...?"
Selphie: "Do you still like him?"
Rinoa: "If I didn't, I wouldn't be talking about it. It was last summer... I was 16. Lots of fond memories..."
Ranma: ' I wonder how can anyone have a fond memory with that guy, but still I don't he is weak enough to die'
Zell: "I didn't like the guy, but executed...?"
Selphie: "You really hated Seifer, didn't you, Zell!"
Zell: "Yeah, but... He was from Garden... He was one of us. If I can, I wanna get revenge."
Squall: 'I liked him... wasn't really a bad guy... He was one of us...Seifer... You've just become just a memory. Will they... Will they talk about me this way if I die, too? Squall was this and that. Using past tense, saying whatever they want? So this is what death is all about...Not for me. I won't have it!!!
Quistis (noticing Squall's odd behavior): "What's wrong, Squall?"
Squall: "I won't have it!"
Zell (shocked): "W-What?"
Selphie: "Are you MAD!?"
Squall before running to the door: "I'm not having anyone talk about me in the past tense!"
Squall ran out of the reception room. The others about to run after him but was interrupted by Ranma.
Ranma: "WAIT...doesn't go after him. He needs time to think that's all"
After a while where everybody was seated, Quistis asked a question.
Quistis: "Ranma, you never told us about your life. Not even the records hold any information about you or your family"
Ranma closed his eyes as if he was in deep thought. Everyone waited for him.
Shiva: * You should tell them*
Ranma (opening his eyes): "What I about to say is only between us. Ok?"
Everybody nodded.
So Ranma told them about the training trip, the Cat Fist, Jusenkyo, the girls' problem (Fiancées), Rivals, The Seppuku, the failing wedding. By the end, the gang was speechless. They didn't if they few sorry or planning a very bad thing to one panda.
Quistis: "Um, Ranma you kidding about the curse, right? There is no such thing... as...a curse?"
Right before their eyes stood a cute red hair girl with a ponytail, Blinking, and blinking to see if they were seeing things.
Ranma-girl: "So you still think the curse isn't real?"
The others shook their heads, then about something and about to ask something when Ranma interrupted.
Ranma-girl: "And the first one who ask about these (point to her chest) gets a one way ticket to the moon."
Everyone closed his or her mouths shut.
Ranma-girl: "any questions?"
Rinoa: "about the Cat Fist, is that what you did to that monster back in the forest"
Ranma-girl: "Yeah its is"
Quistis: "How old are you, Ranma?"
Ranma-girl changes back into a guy.
Ranma: "well physically I am 17 right now, but mentally I think 30"
Everybody gasped.
Rinoa: "how did it happen? You look so young."
Ranma: "well, it was that uncute tomboy's doing. She hit me, and while I was flying through the air a hole appeared in midair and I gone through it. The next thing I know I was 7 year old. At first, I thought I was cured from my curse. Then last year, the curse came back. How? I don't know."
Quistis: "Ranma, I noticed when you engage in battle. You become ruthless I was wondering why? Especially with the Galbadian force."
Ranma narrowed his eyebrows and didn't talk for few minutes.
Ranma: "It was when I travelling with Squall to Balamb Garden. I was 7 or 8 at that time. We had to stop at Timber, as you all well know that it was still war with the Galbadian. While we were waiting for the train we found a girl that tries to sell flowers even with the war going on. So I buy from her a one flower and I gave her 5 times it worth. I was trying to help her and her family. When those Galbadian soldiers began to gather around us demanding from us money. I of course fought them while covering for squall and I beat down 5 of them. Then I heard a voice, it was the mother's girl calling her. She was about to reach her when I heard gunfire. (red battle aura began to form around him) I look and I saw both of them dead. Then I snapped. Those bastards kill innocent people who didn't any thing to them, yet they killed them like some trash. (sigh) I will never forget them for they did"
By the time Ranma finished, he was emitting heat and a killing intend causing to edge away from him, all except Quistis. Seeing this, Ranma clamed down.
Ranma: "Sorry I lost control"
Zell: "Hey man, that's ok. Anyone will do what you just do"
Quistis: "That's right, Ranma. I want you just to know that were there for you"
The others nodded. Ranma smiled.
Ranma: "Thank you"
Just then the door opened revealing a guard requesting to meet the head master infront of the garden.
Later...
In the front of the Galbadian Garden, the group were waiting for the head master. Squall meet them few moments after they arrived and told them about the some order came from the Balamb garden by Fujin and Raijin. A moment later, a car arrived. Martine came out and Squall's group salutes.
Martine: "Good day. I have official orders from Headmaster Cid addressed To you. Following regulations, I have gone over these orders. After careful consideration of our options, we have decided to fully assist and cooperate with Headmaster Cid. Actually, we too, have been planning for this for quite some time now. In order to stress the importance of this mission, I must first brief you on the current situation. At ease. (the group relaxed) You all know about the sorceress being appointed as the peace ambassador for the Galbadian government. However, this ambassador thing is just a cover up. There will be no peace talks, only threats. The sorceress creates fear among people. Therefore, peace talks are impossible. Galbadia is planning to use this fear to negotiate favorable conditions for itself. It is clear that Galbadia's ultimate goal is world domination. Garden is no exception, either. It is a fact the sorceress is planning to use this Garden as her base. ...We have very few options available to us. We entrust world peace and the future to you."
Squall's group salutes.
Martine: "Details of the mission are enclosed in these official orders. Any questions?"
Squall: "The orders say by means of 'a sniper'. We have no one with that skill."
Martine: "Don't worry about it. Let me introduce an elite sharpshooter from Galbadia Garden. Kinneas! Irvine Kinneas!"
Near them was a young man laying on the grass. He is wearing a brown coat and a cowboy hat. Hearing his name, Irvine got up and walked toward them with a cool act.
Martine: "This is Irvine Kinneas. He will be your sharpshooter. Leave whenever you're ready. Failure is not an option."
Irvine (pointing at Martine): "BANG!"
Martine walked away, got in car and it drove away.
Quistis (talking to Squall): "What's our mission?"
Squall: "Our next mission... This is no ordinary mission. It's a direct order from both Balamb and Galbadia Garden. We're to... ...assassinate the sorceress. We're to shoot her from afar. Kinneas will be our sharpshooter. We're to support Kinneas to our fullest. Should the sniper fail, we are to attack head on."
Irvine: "Thanks for the support, but I never miss my target."
Ranma (raising his eye brow): "Cocky aren't you?"
Irvine (smiling): "Thank you"
Squall: "Eliminate the sorceress. That's my order. We're going to head to the capital of Galbadia, Deling City. There we'll meet up with General Caraway to go over the details for the plan. Let's get going."
Irvine: "Well then... We'll need to choose a party for the trip to Deling City."
Irvine formed his group. Mainly grouping himself with Rinoa and Selphie.
Irvine: "How's this?"
Ranma (putting his hand on his head): 'oh great, we got a pervert one'
Squall: '...That's no good.' I'll decide.
Squall chose Zell and Irvine.
Squall: "There."
Irvine : "Excellent choice, Mr. Leader."
Squall groups walking away leaving Ranma and the girls.
Ranma (scratching his head) : "At least Zell and Squall can keep an eye on him"
Then he hear giggling behind him. Slowly he turned to the girls had a strange that made a chill run on his spine and he had a feeling that he is in for it. Quistis walked toward him and hold his arm. She smiled when Ranma blushed.
Quistis: "Ranma, we have some questions"
Ranma (gulping): "yes?"
Rinoa: "It's about your special case"
Ranma (paled): 'oh no'
Later when the group entered the train.
Train Announcement: "This train, bound for Deling City, will be departing shortly."
The trains departs...
Rinoa: "This is the only train bound for Deling City anyway."
Irvine: "Hmm... Perhaps it's fate?" (goes to the next room)
Zell: "So, what do we do about HIM?"
Squall goes to the next room.
Few seconds later Irvine came back and started to 'chase' Rinoa.
Irvine: "Rinoa..."
Quistis: "Irvine Kinneas! You're playing a major role in this mission. Now behave yourself!"
Irvine (sigh): "No one understands me... Sharpshooters are loners by nature... We hone our instincts, pour our whole being into a single bullet. The pressure of the moment... An instant of tension... That's what... I have to face alone... ...It's not easy. So like... Just do me a favor, and let me be! (staring at Zell) You get my drift?"
Zell pounds the ground, which causes a shock through out the train.
Train Announcement: "Err, there was no damage to the train from that, err, minor vibration... I, uh... repeat... Err, there was no damage to the train from that, err, minor vibration..."
After arriving in Deling City, Squall's group takes the escalator up to the surface.
Zell: "What's the matter, Squall?"
Squall: "We're heading for Caraway's Mansion. It's in the government district. We're here as back-up from Galbadia Garden. Don't blow your cover. 'Is Laguna here now?'
The group proceed to the mansion.
Squall: 'Caraway is the head of the Galbadian army... Could this be a coup d'etat? ...No... I don't think he's out to overthrow the president...'
Reaching the mansion, the encountered a guard.
Caraway's Guard: "General Caraway's mansion is right through this gate, but... I can't just let you walk in."
Squall: "I believe he's been informed of our arrival."
Caraway's Guard: "Yes indeed, but... I was ordered not to let you through until your skills have been tested."
Zell: "What the hell's he talkin' about!?"
Squall: "Test our skills? What does he want us to do?"
Caraway's Guard: "The Tomb of the Unknown King to the northeast. All you have to do is go there. It's real simple, but... You have to bring back proof that you were there. A code number."
Squall (raising an eye brow): "A code number?"
Zell: "We came all the way out here for some stupid test of courage? Who does he think we are!?"
Caraway's Guard: "There are many students like yourself who wish to call on General Caraway. There was a student from Galbadia Garden yesterday, who has yet to return from the test at the Tomb of the Unknown King. The Tomb of the Unknown King is located northeast of the city. Your objective is to go to the Tomb of the Unknown King, look for traces of this lost student, and return with his ID number. You should be able to find what you're looking for shortly after you go in. The ID number should be written on it. I don't recommend going any further than you have to. You may never make it back alive. Anyway, here's a map for you."
The guard gave the map to the gang. Later at the car rent station...
Squall: "We can't go all of us there. So Ranma, you will choose who will stay and who will go with me"
Ranma: "Since this only to retrieve the Student ID. You should go with Selphie and Irvine"
Squall: "Ok then, we will meet after an hour at the mansion"
The others nodded.
Squall rented a car to take them there. Ranma's group decided to take a dinner.
