Chapter two: School days

Fifteen years later...

"Kari! Get up! It's seven!" Skye screamed. "KARI!"
In her room, Kari groaned. "I hate this." She got out of bed and walked to her dresser to comb her hair.
"Kari, get up!" Riku yelled.
"Mom, Dad! I'm up! Gosh, what is their problem?" Kari said to her herself, putting on lipgloss.

She had short, black hair with silver-bluish streaks that barely reached her shoulders. She was about 5'5.
Here's one thing unique about her. Thanks to her parents, she has one green eye and one silver-blue eye.
It looked weird when she was in elementary school. But now, in high school, they didn't call her a freak or anything. They all loved her for that.

That wasn't the only thing that made her popular. Riku, her father, was the son of the ex-SOLDIER, Sephiroth and apparently the second-in-command of a rebellion against the leader of Hollow Bastion, Ansem. Skye, her mother, was related to the now-famous SeeD commander, Squall Leonhart A.K.A Leon and was known also for her special healing ability. Though some people thought of it as a curse.

She had quickly changed into a pink tank top and dark blue jeans and ran down to see her parents in the kitchen. "Mom, Dad. I'm leaving for school. Bye." Kari grabbed a piece of toast and ran off.
"Okay. I'm finally home from the war between Destiny Islands and Hollow Bastion. And our daughter is acting like I'm not even here." Riku said after Kari took off.
Skye crossed her arms. "Don't worry about it, Riku. It's normal for kids her age to be like that. Isolate themselves from their parents. I went through all that."

Riku sighed. "My childhood was different. My dad was hardly home. I was stuck with my brothers. I remember that one time he came home and you were with me."
His wife giggled. "I remember it like it was only yesterday. The look on Yazoo and Loz's faces were priceless."


"Man, I wish my parents let me sleep in a while longer." Kari whined.

"Hey Kari!" Three people ran up to her on her way to school. "Darien, Selene, Kevin. Hi, what's up?" Kari spun around to face her three best friends.
Darien was about 5'6, had blonde hair. He also had something unique. He had one blue and one green eye.
His parents were the star blitzball player, Tidus and High Summoner, Yuna. He wore brown baggy pants and a white T-shirt.

Kevin was 5'7, had hair that was red in the sun and brown in the shade, due to his parents, and greenish-blue eyes. Kairi and Sora are his parents. He wore a purple shirt and black shorts.
Selene was the shortest, 5'4. She had blonde hair in braids like her mother, the Al Bhed, Rikku, and emerald eyes. She wore her favorite outfit, her white top and blue shorts.

"Nothin', you." Kevin said. Kari shook her head.
Darien sighed. "We have to get to class. Miss Trepe will kill us if we don't."

Selene hung her head. "I hate Guardian Forces/ Training with her."
"Don't we all?" Kari groaned. "Lucky, our parents didn't get those lessons." Kevin said in a disappointed tone. "Actually, they did a year before their graduation." Kari's uncle, the SeeD Leon stepped out from the shadows.

"Oh my God! It's...." Selene was cut off. "Hello uncle Leon." Kari snorted.
"Wait, he's your uncle and you didn't tell us!" Darien yelled.
"You're gonna be late. Hurry and get to Quistis's class now. I'll talk to you four after school." Leon left without another word.
Kari and Selene dragged Kevin and Darien to the Training session.

"Ah. Finally, Miss Valentine and her friends are here." Quistis said loudly. Loud enough for the entire class to here.
"Aw man. Busted." Kevin muttered. "Shut up." Selene jabbed his elbow to shut him up.
All four took their seats and were prepared for the worse. Everyone sat in silence until Quistis said to them. "Class, today's training session is learning about your opponent's weakness. Everyone has one."

She pressed the play button on her sphere on her desk. "Watch the sphere. You might learn something."
The sphere was clear and see-though. Though it looked like it was recorded about a few days ago, it recorded some sort of battle which happened about nineteen years ago.
Four people were on the beach, batting an iron giant. Two girls and two boys.

"Excuse me, Miss Trepe. Who are the people in the sphere's movie?" A brunette girl asked.
"Miss Kinneas, believe it or not. That four you see are the parents of Kari Valentine and Kevin Chaste."

"Nothing's working, Riku." Sora said, stating the obvious. Riku glared at his best friend and looked at Skye, who concentrated hard on a spell. "What are you doing?" Kairi asked.
"Firaga!" The barrel of her gunblade grew hot and flames shot out of it, hitting the iron giant.
"Fire and ice are the weakness. You should have paid attention in science."

"Skye! Look out!" Riku, Kairi and Sora yelled. She spun around and saw the giant was going to use it's attack. It flashed a black light every so often. "What is it doing?" Kairi wondered.

"Quit wondering and attack!" Riku ordered. He and Sora slashed out over and over. But, their attacks didn't effect much. "It's HP is 500/700. We're at...." Kairi sweatdropped.
"Only 50/400." Skye muttered, preparing a cure spell. The giant punched Riku really hard and blood gushed out of the wound he received the year before. Skye used cure on Riku and did non-stop firaga spells.

Kairi and Sora slashed at it with their swords until it disappeared.

"I thought Quistis said it was just an illusion and it was safe." Riku groaned. Skye rolled her eyes and healed Riku's wound.


"That punch must have hurt a lot." Kevin whispered to Kari. "It did. Trust me, my dad still has the wound."
"Now, Miss Valentine, Miss Highwind (Selene), Mr. Chaste and Mr. Laska. You four will be the first of the class to face an aeon. Of course, it is just an illusion." Quistis instructed, "Kari, what is an aeon?"
Kari sighed. "An aeon is a summon that can only be summoned by a person known as a summoner."

"Good, you've been paying attention. Darien, name some summoners." Quistis requested.
"There's Lord Braska, my grandfather, my mother, Yuna, Yunalesca Yevon, Yu Yevon, Lenne, Dona and Seymour Guado." Darien replied.
"Very well. I hope you have your weapons. Go into that room and wait until the aeon appears." Quistis instructed.

Kari, Selene, Darien and Kevin walked into that room. It was bare at first until Quistis pressed something that made the room look like the temple of Besaid. Kari unsheathed the gunblade her grandfather had made for her and let it rest on her shoulder. Darien drew his Brotherhood sword his father, Tidus gave to him.
Kevin loaded his two machina guns. Selene had her daggers her mother gave to her.

"I hope your ready. Here comes the aeon." Quistis announced.
Cliffy. Which aeon is it? I'm not telling till the next chappie.

Please r&r.
