Welcome to X-zone chapter 3. I hope you have enjoyed the story thus far,
even though the chapters are short, that's how I write I guess. Well, I
still don't own any copyrights and such of Final Fantasy
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, or 11. But I do own copies of some
(1,2,4,5,6,7,8,9,10.....everything but 3 and 11). Just read and review,
later.
Chapter 3: SeeD
Cloud sat up in his bed in the infirmary. He hadn't slept much the previous night, but he was used to that because he didn't sleep much anyway. His thoughts were always plagued with painful memories. Dr. Kadowaki entered the infirmary and looked down at her records.
"Well, your brain seems to be functioning quite normally. You're free to leave, but the headmaster would like to speak with you before you go." Dr. Kadowaki announced.
"Okay, where can I find him?" Cloud asked.
"SHE can be found by entering the elevator and pressing the button for her office."
"...And where is the elevator?"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm used to dealing with Balamb Garden students. All you have to do is exit this office, go down the hall, then turn right when you enter the main plaza. If you walk down that way, you can't miss the elevator."
"Well, thank you for all of your help, I'll see her on my way out." Cloud left the office. He followed the instructions given to him and turned right at the main plaza. He eventually found the elevator and got on, despite the rude stare he received from the person that bumped into him while exiting. He pressed the button clearly marked as Headmaster's office and began to move up. He got off and knocked on the big door in front of him. He heard a voice tell him to enter and he did so.
"You must be Cloud," the Headmaster said, "I'm Quistis Trepe, the Headmaster of Balamb Garden."
"I heard that you wanted to see me?" Cloud inquired.
"Um, yes, I did. I was wondering about that." She pointed to the corner of the room and Cloud looked to see his Buster Sword leaning against the wall.
"What about it? It's my sword."
"Well, quite frankly, that is the biggest sword I have ever seen, and I was wondering how you would wield it. My guys could barely lift it, let alone swing it."
"The only way I know how, easily." Cloud replied with some arrogance.
"Well, why don't you show me."
"Okay."
"All right, follow me." They headed to the training area. They wondered around for a while, surprisingly not finding any monsters of much challenge, so Quistis quickly dismantled them with her whip. She wanted to find Cloud a real opponent, a T-Rexaur. After a few more minutes, one emerged from the trees and charged Cloud and Quistis.
"Okay, this is your test. You're on your own, good luck." Quistis called over the T-Rexaur's roar. Cloud pulled his sword into a ready position and prepared to battle.
The T-Rexaur took a quick lunge at Cloud with his huge jaws, but Cloud managed to dodge out of the way. The T-Raxaur reared up and did it again, only to find nothing in his mouth. This time, it was Cloud's turn to be the aggressor as he jumped up and hurled his sword down at the dinosaur's head, leaving a large gash near the eye. The dinosaur got angry and made another lunging bite at Cloud, but he decided to swing his sword right into the dinosaur's mouth. This broke off a couple of the T-Rexaur's teeth and made him seriously angry. The T-Rexaur took one final dive at Cloud and picked him up in his mouth and attempted to swallow him.
It seemed as if the battle was over, as the huge beast seemed to be chewing up his latest meal. Suddenly the top of the T-Rexaur's head exploded in a flash of light and all you could see was Cloud and his sword moving at almost light speed. When he was done, he jumped up into the air and struck down with one final cut. The creature's head was completely missing, as if it was chopped into minced meat, which it pretty much was.
"That was........." Quistis trailed off. She had never seen such brilliant swordsmanship. She didn't expect him to be that fast with a weapon so huge.
"I call it Omni-Slash." Cloud announced proudly.
"Whatever it was, it was amazing. Cloud, I would be honored if you would join my military special forces unit know as SeeD.
"C-D?" Cloud asked confused.
"Yes, SeeD is a special task force that goes on special missions to help Balamb Garden and sometimes, the entire plantet. Of course, you wouldn't be working for free....."
Cloud thought about her offer. He could try to find a way home, or he could stay and keep trying to talk to that Rinoa chick. "Sure, why not?" Cloud finally spoke.
"Good, I've never had someone decide so quickly. Most of the people in SeeD had to pass an entrance exam and take many classes, but you are too good for any of that. You start right away at SeeD rank sixteen of thirty."
"Fair enough."
"Well, you can stay here in Balamb Garden until you are deployed for a mission. You should probably have someone show you around the Garden as it is quite large. Have you met anyone?"
Cloud didn't even have to think about it. "Yeah, Rinoa."
"Ahhh..... I'm sure she'll be glad to show you around. I'll summon her right away. Let's go back to my office."
A/N: So, Cloud just got here and he's already in SeeD? Well, in my opinion, his entrance test was a lot harder than the Fire Cavern or securing the central square in Dollet. So, I kind of understand why she let him in..... wait, I'm writing this thing, I can make pink elephants be SeeD members if I want to. I won't, because that would be stupid though. Well, we'll read about Cloud's tour of Balamb Garden in the following chapter, and pretty soon, Cloud will have his first SeeD mission, with Squall...... Until next time kiddies!
