Now what?
The next morning Squall wakes up to the same annoying Selphie standing in
front of his door.
"Hey Selphie."
"Good morning!" She smiles
"I keep telling you-"
"There's no such thing as a good morning." The say together.
Squall just walks away to the headmaster's office.
He knocks on the door.
"Come in!" Says Cid writing at his desk.
Squall walks in.
"Headmaster, I need to talk to you about Max Caron."
Cid growls as he hears the name.
"What about him?"
"I think he might be a problem if we keep him here."
"I think so too, but what can we do? He's a SeeD just like the rest of
us."
"Doesn't the fact that he's a Mercenary give us an advantage?"
"That has nothing to do with it. We can't touch him unless he does
something." Squall is thrown to the ground as a large blast emanates
through Garden.
"What the hell was that!?" Asks Squall getting to his feet.
"I don't know!?" Answers Cid.
Faster than humanly possible Cid and Squall sprint down to the first floor
of Garden only to find it in complete disarray.
"What happened!?" Yells Squall to Zell as he limps over to them.
"It was weird. There was this HUGE explosion and-" He is cut off by another
explosion on the other side of Garden.
'What the hell is going on!?' Thinks Squall.
"Squall," Says Cid. "You go and check on the others I'll stay here!"
"Right." He runs as fast as possible to the other side. He passes by a
few underclassmen and asks them where the explosion came from; they point
him toward the library.
'The library?'
He thanks them and heads to the library. When he arrives he stops in his
tracks in horror.
'What!?'
Max stands near the blast hole in the wall totally unscathed.
"Hey Squall." He says coolly. "Having fun?" He looks deep into Squalls
eyes penetrating his very soul.
"Max what. what are you doing!?" Asks Squall trying not to show his fear.
"Nothing..." he looks at Squalls shocked face. "You don't think I did
this do you?"
"If you didn't then why are you here?"
"I came to stop the people that did this."
"And who was that?"
"The other Flying garden. But it looks like Galbadia Garden"
"That's because it is!" Yells Squall.
"What!?"
'I thought Galbadia would leave us alone?' He thinks.
"Ahh!" Max falls to the floor as a gunshot rings out.
'What!?' Squall draws his gunblade quickly and readies himself for the
attack.
He turns and finds Irvine behind him.
"What are you doing!? You just shot the wrong person!"
Irvine smiles embarrassed.
"Oops, heh heh."
Squall picks up Max and hands him to the Sniper.
"Take him to the infirmary."
"Sure thing." Irvine walks off to the infirmary with Max bleeding slightly
from his wound to the shoulder. "Sorry to shoot ya." Smiles the cowboy.
"It's alright. I've been through worse. You should read my record."
"Sure. Max was it?"
"Yeah." He says as though he's not injured.
"Fine Max, next time I'll make sure you're an enemy."
