Enjoy!
CHAPTER 1We begin this game by watching the introduction movie of Squall and
Seifer gunblade fighting. Squall got a scar and is bleeding. He gave
Seifer a scar as well. After that, the Final Fantasy VIII title screen
appeared. Now we are in the Infirmary of Balamb Garden. Squall woke up.
Dr. Kadowaki: How are you feeling?
Squall: ......Ok.
Dr. Kadowaki: Take it easy next time, you hear? Looks like your eyes
are focusing. You should be fine. Say your name for me.
Squall: Squall.
Dr. Kadowaki: Why don't you take it easy in training? Next time you
might not be so lucky.
Squall: Tell that to Seifer.
Dr. Kadowaki: That Seifer... Won't listen to anyone. Why don't you ignore
him?
Squall: I can't just run away.
Dr. Kadowaki: You wanna be cool, huh? Well, don't get hurt in the
process. Let's see, your instructor is... Quistis! I'll call her now.
Just wait here a minute. (calling Quistis) Quistis? Come get your
student. Yes, yes. His injury's not serious. It'll probably leave a
scar. ......Right. Now please come by.
A woman came and looked at Squall in bed.
Ellone: Squall...so we meet again.
We watch a movie of Quistis coming in to see Squall.
Quistis: I knew it'd be either you or Seifer! Come on, let's go.
Today's the field exam.
While Squall and Quistis is on their way to the classroom...
Quistis: Squall. Is there something on your mind?
Squall: ...Not really.
Quistis: ...Not really. Hahaha!
Squall: What's so funny?
Quistis: Funny? No, no, it's not that! I'm just happy. I feel like I'm
beginning to understand my student a little. That's all.
Squall: I'm more complex than you think.
Quistis: Then tell me. Tell me more about yourself.
Squall: It's none of your...
Quistis: ...Business!
We watch a movie of the view of Balamb Garden. Later in the study hall...
Quistis: Good morning, class. Let's start with today's schedule. There
seem to have been some rumors flying around since yesterday... Yes, the
field exam for SeeD candidates will begin later this afternoon. Those
not participating and those who failed last week's written test are to
remain here in study hall. Field exam participants will have free time
until the exam. Just be sure you're in top condition. Meet in hall at
1600 hours. I'll announce the team assignments there. Any questions?
(to Seifer) Oh, and Seifer! Do NOT injure your partner while training.
Be careful from now on.
Seifer threw a fit.
Quistis: Field exam participants, I will see you all later. (to Squall)
And Squall, I need to talk to you.
Squall talks to Quistis.
Quistis: You haven't been to the Fire Cavern yet have you? You won't
be able to take part in today's SeeD exam if you don't pass this
prerequisite.
Squall: (...I was gonna go this morning, but Seifer...)
Quistis: Hm? Do you have a good excuse?
Squall: ...Not really.
Quistis: Then let's get going. If you're not too confident yet, you can
review your studies at the study panel. I'll be waiting at the front
gate, so come down when you're ready. You can access the study panel
from your seat.
Quistis left. Squall goes to his study seat and gets two Guardian
Forces Quezacotl and Shiva. Squall gets out, then...
Selphie: I'm late, I'm late, I'm LATE!!! (bumped into Squall) Waaah!
Squall: Are you ok?
Selphie: There. Tee-hee, I'm fine. Sorry I was kinda in a hurry. Oh
yeah! Hey, did you just come from that class? Is...... homeroom over?
Squall nodded "yes".
Selphie: Woo...Oh, nooo... This place is soooo much bigger than my last
Garden! Oh, hey, hey. I just transferred here. Do you think you could
give me a tour of this Garden?
Squall: Don't have the time.
Selphie: Oh, bummer. That's too bad. Well, see ya.
Squall proceeds to the front gate. At that area...
Quistis: I have a few things to explain before we head off. GF gives us
strength. The stronger the GF, the stronger we become. ...So, here's a
brief exploration on junctioning a GF.
Quistis told Squall what they are.
Quistis: Everything ok up till now? You can always check back by
accessing Tutorial from the Menu. Once we get to the Fire Cavern,
I'll explain how to junction magic. Use the command 'Draw' during
battle and stock magic from your enemies. Be sure to have some stocked!
Ready to go? The Fire Cavern used for the test is located east of
here.
In the cave...
Quistis: Ok... Junctioning magic. Now pay attention. I'll be explaining
how to utilize the magic you have stocked.
Quistis told Squall how to do it.
Quistis: When you draw a new magic, try experimenting with it when you
junction. This is how you become stronger. Ok, ready to go? Oh! You
know how to use your gunblade...?
Squall: ...I already know.
Quistis: Oh, ok. I was just concerned, that's all. Alright, let's go!
They meet the Balamb guards near the cave.
Balamb Guard: Objective: To obtain a low-level GF. A SeeD member must
support. Are you ready?
Squall: I'm ready.
Quistis: I'm his support. Instructor No. 14, Quistis Trepe.
Balamb Guard: Select a time limit. Choose one suited to your abilities.
Challenging yet reasonable.
Squall: 20 minutes.
Balamb Guard: Very well. Good luck.
Inside the cave...
Quistis: My job is to support you in battle. Everything else is up to
you.
Squall: Fine.
As they continue to move on...
Quistis: You know, the boys often choke on this test when I come with
them. I guess my charm makes them nervous.
Squall: (...Whatever.)
Quistis: I'm just kidding! Trying to keep you relaxed, that's all.
Later as Squall and Quistis reach their destination...
Quistis: I guess I was right. You and Seifer are in a class of your
own. You both have amazing strength and potential.
Squall and Quistis gets closer and...
Quistis: Ok, this is it. Are you ready? You seem confident enough.
Squall and Quistis fights Ifrit. After Squall and Quistis wins the
fight...
Ifrit: For me to lose to a human... Very well, I will join you.
Later...
Quistis: There isn't much time, but let me make go over this real
quick. Good, you got yourself a GF. If you junction that GF, you'll be
able to use the Elem-J ability. Here's an explanation on Elements.
Quistis told Squall how to use it.
Quistis: There's a lot of Fire elemental monsters here, so junction
Blizzard to your Elem-Atk. You'll have an easier time with Fire
elemental enemies.
Later back in Balamb Garden...
Quistis: Well done. Let's see... I thought there was something else I
needed to go over with you before you take the SeeD exam... Oh yes!
Taking care of your GF. This is something you have to watch out for.
Quistis told Squall how to do it.
Quistis: Now change into your uniform and assemble at the 1F Lobby.
After Squall changes to his uniform, he meets Quistis at the lobby.
Quistis: Squall! Over here! I'll be announcing the squad assignments
for the exam now. Let's see... You'll be with... Zell Dincht. Quite a
lively fellow.
Squall: Lively? He's just loud. Can't I switch members?
Quistis: I'm afraid that's not possible. Over here, Zell!
We watch a movie of Zell performing his fighting techniques. Zell
Dincht is 17 years old. His fists are his weapons.
Zell: Whoa! I'm with you!? You don't get along with Seifer, do you?
Heard he whooped you pretty bad this morning.
Squall: We weren't fighting. We were training.
Zell: I bet you he doesn't think so. Look, Seifer's just being a pain
in the ass. All you have to do is ignore him.
Squall: That's none of your business.
Quistis: None of your business. Ahem... Excuse me, but... That Seifer
you're talking about... He's your squad leader.
Zell: SAY WHAT!?
Quistis: It can't be changed. Seifer! Are you here?
Seifer, Raijin and Fujin arrived.
Squall: (Fujin and Raijin tagging along as usual... Guess that makes up
the whole disciplinary committee.)
Quistis: (to Seifer) You're the squad leader. Good luck to you.
Seifer: ...Instructor. I hate it when people wish me luck. Save those
words for a bad student that needs them, eh?
Quistis: Ok then. Good luck, Seifer.
Seifer: Add Instructor Trepe to the list.
Squall: (The list...? What is it?)
Quistis: Well then. You're all assigned to Squad B. I'll be the
instructor in charge. Teamwork is of the utmost importance. Let's get
through this exam, everyone!
Seifer: Listen up! Teamwork means staying out of my way. It's a Squad B
rule. Don't you forget it!
Headmaster Cid: Everyone here? (to everyone) It's been a while
everyone. How's everyone doing? This exam will involve 12 members from
Squads A through D... You will be proceeding to a real battlefield.
Obviously, the battles are for real. Life and death, victory and
defeat, honor and disgrace... Each of these go hand in hand. There's only
one way or the other. How 'bout it? Are you still up for it? You will
be accompanied by 9 SeeD members. Should you fail, these members shall
get the job done. They always do. Well that's one less worry on your
mind. The pride of Balamb Garden! The elite mercenary force, SeeD!
Learn from them, obey their commands and accomplish the mission. Prove
yourself worthy of becoming a member of SeeD. Best of luck.
Squall's group takes a car to Balamb. Inside the car while the car is
moving...
Zell: Yo, Squall. Show me your gunblade, will ya?
Squall: .........
Zell: C'mon, man!
Squall: .........
Zell: Just a peek!
Squall: .........
Zell: Tch, fine... Yeah, yeah... Why you bein' so selfish!? Scrooooge!
Squall: .........
Zell: Say somethin', will ya!? W-What's on your mind?
Squall: ...Nothing.
Quistis: ...Nothing.
Zell: .........
Zell gets up and practices his fighting skills.
Seifer: Stop that... It's annoying. ...Chicken-wuss.
Zell: WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?
Seifer: Heheheh...
Quistis: (to Zell and Seifer) Knock it off!
Squall: ...Instructor... Who was that girl in the infirmary this morning?
Quistis: Was someone there? I didn't notice anybody. Is there a
problem?
Squall: No... not really...
Seifer: This is great... I have Chicken-wuss and a guy who just reached
puberty in my squad...
Zell got really pissed. Later the car reached Balamb and in the dock...
Squall: So that's the vessel...?
Seifer: Ain't no turning back now. Huh? You scared, too?
Garden Staff: Hey! You guys are the last! Hurry up and get in!
Seifer: Don't disappoint me now.
Quistis: Come on, move it! Hurry, Squall!
Inside the assault boat after it takes off...
Xu: Hi, Quistis.
Quistis: Well, these are the members of Squad B.
Zell: Nice to meet ya!
Squall: Pleased to meet you...
Xu: Seifer, how many times has it been now?
Seifer: Oh, I just love these exams...
Xu: I'll explain the current situation and the mission. Be seated!
Everyone takes a seat.
Xu: Our client for this mission is the Dollet Dukedom Parliament. A
request for SeeD was made 18 hours ago. Dollet has been under attack by
the G-Army since about 72 hours ago. 49 hours into the battle, Dollet
abandoned their position in the inner city. Currently, they have
retreated into the nearby mountains and are reorganizing their troops.
That's the current status. Now onto the mission objective. According to
our reports, the G-Army is mopping up the Dollet troops in the mountain
region. We're to make a landing at Lapin Beach. We're to eliminate the
remaining G-Army within the city and liberate it A.S.A.P. Afterwards,
SeeD members will intercept any G-Army forces trying to make their way
into the city from the mountain region.
Seifer: So, what are WE supposed to do?
Xu: SeeD candidates are to eliminate the G-Army inside the city.
Zell: Sounds important!
Seifer: Sounds boring. So what you're saying is we do all the little,
dirty work...
Xu: ......... Oh, it hardly needs to be said, but... The order to withdraw
takes priority. Do not forget. We're almost there. We anticipate a
battle as soon as we disembark. Just be prepared. That's all. Any
questions, talk to Quistis.
Xu left.
Squall: (Hmmm...) (Talk to Quistis.)
Quistis: What is it, Squall?
Squall: Explain it again.
Quistis: Here's a quick explanation. The goal for this mission is to
eliminate the Galbadian forces that have entered Dollet. The order to
withdraw takes priority. Be sure to make your way back to the shore
when you get this order.
Squall: (Hmmm...) (Talk to Seifer.)
Seifer: Listen up. Our goal for this mission is to mop up all the
Galbadian soldiers still left in Dollet. All you boys have to do is
take orders from me, the captain.
Squall: (Hmmm...) (Talk to Zell.)
Zell: My first real battle... I'm getting' pretty nervous.
Seifer: Better not piss in your pants.
Zell: Hah!? You talkin' to me?
Seifer: Heh heh...
Zell: ...Bastard.
Quistis: Ok, enough talk.
Xu: We'll be landing soon. Get ready.
Zell: Roger.
Squall: Alright.
Seifer: Yeah, yeah... (to Squall) Well then, Squall. Go see what's going
on outside.
Squall: ......Ok.
Seifer: Good. Because it's MY order.
Squall goes outside. We watch a movie of Squall looking at the map and
that they stop at Dollet.
Quistis: Ok, you are to secure the Central Square! Be sure to equip
your GF before you head into battle!
Seifer: Let's move out.
On Squall's group's way, they fight Galbadian Soldiers. After defeating them,
they move on.
Seifer: The Central Square is up ahead. Hey! All you Galbadian
cowards out there! Come out'n show your faces! Don't leave me hangin'
now! (runs)
Zell: ...What an idiot.
Squall's group fought another Galbadian Soldier. After that...
Squall: There may be more...
Seifer: All right, I want you guys to scout the area for enemies.
Squall's group fights another Galbadian Soldier. After that...
Squall: I think that's all of them.
Seifer: Well then, we're on standby 'til the enemy comes. Standby... How
boring...
Later, Squall's group heard a sound...
Squall: Sounds like it's starting.
Seifer: Bring it on. (to the dog) Get outta here! Scram! Hey! Galbadian
Soldiers! What are you waiting for!? Come show me what you got! (swings
his gunblade)
Squall: ...Nothing.
Squall talks to Seifer.
Seifer: Still keeping us waiting...? That's it...! I can't take it anymore!
What is this, some kind of dog training!? (swinging his gunblade)
Squall's group watched the dog howl and they hide while there were
Galbadian Soldiers passing by.
Squall: It's the enemy...
Zell: Where the hell they goin'? Hey? What is that up there?
Seifer: Our next destination.
Zell: But that's against orders!
Seifer: Weren't you just saying how bored you were?
Zell: Squall!
Squall: I stand by the captain's decision.
Seifer: ...Captain's decision? (hands on Squall) You want to wreak some
havoc too, don't you?
Squall shoves Seifer's hand off of him.
Squall: It's a good opportunity to test my training. Thanks to you, I
feel like I can take on anyone. Even if they do fight dirty, like you.
Seifer: You'll thank me when the time comes.
Zell: What the hell... I thought you guys don't get along? You're like,
all buddy-buddy now. Listen. This ain't no ordinary battle. It's an
exam, an important one. I'm tellin' ya, we have to stick to orders.
Seifer: Then you stay here. I don't need any boy scouts.
Zell: What was that!!!?
Squall: Don't take him seriously, Zell. Seifer, if we're gonna go,
let's hurry.
Seifer: The enemy is headed for the facility. We, Squad B, are to
secure the summit. Move out!
Squall: Alright.
Zell: Tch... Fine.
They move on. Later Squall's group saw some Dollet Soldiers.
Dollet Soldier: (on the ground) Ahhh! W-W-Who are you!?
Squall: Don't worry. We're SeeD candidates. We've been dispatched by
Garden.
Seifer: So what's going on up there?
Dollet Soldier: The Galbadian soldiers have entered the Communication
Tower. On top of that...that place has always been a nesting ground for
monsters. If you guys are goin' up, be caref... (pulled by a monster) H-
HELP!!!
Squall's group fights Anacondaur. After defeating it...
Squall: Monsters, huh?
Zell: That sucks.
Seifer: More fun for us. Come on...
Zell: ...Fun? Pu-lease...
Squall's group moves on and they take their hiding place.
Galbadian Soldier 1: The generator is up and running!
Galbadian Soldier 2: No problem with the boosters!
Seifer: ...the hell they doing?
Galbadian Soldier 3: Cable disconnection confirmed! Begin exchange
process!
Galbadian Soldier 1: Roger.
The Galbadian Soldiers went back in to the Communication Tower.
Squall: Repairs...?
Seifer: Who cares. This must be your first real battle. You scared?
Squall: ...I don't know. I try not to think about it.
Seifer: I love battles. I fear nothing. The way I look at it, as long
as you make it out of a battle alive, you're one step closer to
fulfilling your dream.
Squall: What!? Your dream?
Seifer: You have one too, don't you?
Squall: ...Sorry, but I'm gonna pass on that subject.
Zell: Yo! Let me on it, too!
Seifer: (to Zell) Mind your own business.
Zell: (punching Seifer) Frickin' hell...
Seifer: What's the matter, Zell? Swatting flies?
Seifer left without Squall and Zell.
Zell: Damn you...!
???: There you are!
We watch a movie of Selphie arriving to see Squall and Zell.
Selphie: Are you...Squad B?
Squall nodded "yes". Selphie Tilmitt is 17 years old. She uses
nunchakus.
Selphie: I'm...a messenger. Name's Selphie, from Squad A. The squad
captain's Seifer, right? Where is he?
Suddenly, Squall's group saw Seifer.
Seifer: One of these days, I'm gonna tell ya 'bout my ROMANTIC dream!
Selphie: (sigh) This sure is tough... Captain! Wait up...!!! (jumped off
the cliff next to the Communication Tower) What are you waiting for!?
Come on! Come on!
Squall and Zell decides not to jump down the cliff. Instead they cross
the path to the Tower.
Selphie: What took you so long? It would've been much quicker if you'd
just jumped.
Zell: ...Much quicker? Pu-lease... You wouldn't normally jump off a cliff,
OK!? Ain't that right, Squall?
Squall: ...I don't know about that. Perhaps anyone but the Chicken-wuss
can make it.
Zell: WHAT DID YOU SAYYYYY!!!?
Selphie: ...Hm? Since you're angry, I guess you're the Chicken-wuss.
Zell: What the...!!! WHY IS EVERYONE...? I am not a CHICKEN!!!
Selphie: Well... If you don't like CHICKEN, how 'bout...a PIG! Oh, but you
look more like a CHICKEN, anyway.
Zell: Chicken, pig, whatever... Call me whatever you want!!! I don't care
anymore!!!
Squall: Don't take it so personally, Zell.
Zell: Tch...
Selphie: Well, let's get goin'. Has everyone equipped a GF? You haven't
forgotten... Have you...?
While proceeding on...
Zell: So this is the Communication Tower...?
Selphie: Sure is big...
Galbadian Soldier: Ah...AHHHH!
Seifer scared the soldiers away.
Seifer: Cowards.
Selphie: HEEEY! The captain's getting away!
Inside...
Squall: ...Did he go up?
Selphie: Heeey! Squad B captain!!!
Squall: (saw a lift) I think we can take this lift up...
Selphie: Wanna go up?
Squall: Go up.
Squall's group takes the lift up.
Selphie: Wow, this lift is pretty cool!
Zell: Don't get too excited, or you'll fall!
Selphie: Like I'm really going to!
Meanwhile at the top of the Communication Tower...
Wedge: Major Biggs! There has been a report of a monster-shaped shadow
on top of the tower. Major Biggs!
Biggs: Be quiet! I'm busy! This goes like this...and... Geez, what's with
these crappy old tools? And...and... Why do I have to make all the
repairs!? AHHH!!!
Wedge: Sir, I'll check around while the repairs are being done.
Wedge left.
Biggs: Let's see... Hmmm... Put this here...and... This goes here...and...
There, it's complete!
We watch a movie of the satellite dish activated.
Squall: What do you think you're doing!?
Biggs: Huhhhh? Likewise, MISTER! What do you think you're doing!? H-
HEY! What happened to all the soldiers down below!? WEDGE! Take care of
these twerps!!! W...Wedge? I...ah... Well...ah...I seem to be done here, so I'll
just be on my... I-I'm leaving... Move it! Move! Move!
Seifer came up from the lift and swung his gunblade to knock off Biggs'
remote control.
Seifer: Sorry to crash the party.
Biggs: Ah...AHH...AHHHHH! Are you CRAZY!!!
Seifer: Just shut UP!
Squall's group fights Biggs.
Biggs: Prepare for the worst, you brats!
After Squall's group wounds Biggs, Wedge arrived.
Wedge: Major Biggs... Have you finished the repairs, sir? What's the
enemy doing here!?
Biggs: WEDGE! Where were you!? No pay for you this month!
Wedge: ...Should've stayed home!
After Squall's group wounds one of them, a wind struck Biggs and Wedge.
Biggs: What the...!?
Wedge: Ahhhhh!
Squall's group now fights Elvoret. After defeating it...
Selphie: Squad B captain? S'cuse me! I have new orders! All SeeD
members and SeeD candidates are to withdraw at 1900 hours. Assemble at
the shore!
Seifer: Withdraw!? There are still enemies around!
Selphie: I know, but I'm just a messenger.
Squall: An order to withdraw takes priority. I don't want to miss the
vessel.
Seifer: What time d'you say?
Selphie: Like I said...! All SeeD members and SeeD candidates are to
withdraw at 1900 hours. Assemble at the shore!
Seifer: 1900 hours... We only have 30 mins! You got 30 minutes to get
down to the shore! Better run!
Seifer left.
Selphie: Heeey! Wait for us!
Zell: Who the hell does he think he is!?
Squall: Why don't you ask him. Let's go.
Squall's group goes down. Then with Biggs...
Biggs: Those little twerps are the targets! (activating X-ATM092) Now
GO!!! Go and DESTROY them!!!
Squall's group gets out of the Communication Tower and suddenly they
encountered X-ATM092. After Squall's group weakens it they make a run
for it. Then all of a sudden...
Zell: I thought we already busted that thing up!?
Squall: Forget it! Let's go!
After reaching the shore while they were chased by the machine, we
watch a movie of Quistis firing the gun from the assault boat and the
X-ATM092 is destroyed and that the whole crew got on the assault boat.
Later back at Balamb...
???: SEIFER!
Raijin and Fujin arrived.
Raijin: How'd it go?
Seifer: Man... All they did was get in my way. Being a leader ain't easy.
Fujin: SAFE?
Seifer, Raijin and Fujin left.
Quistis: Good job! Where's Seifer? Just be back at Garden by sundown.
You're free 'til then. Ok, dismissed!
Later the car drove off.
Zell: H-Hey!!! Not again, man! There goes Mr. Ego...
Squall: Might as well walk it.
After walking back to Balamb Garden...
Zell: (yawning) Huuuwahaah! Finally made it back...
Selphie: Seriously...
Zell: Well, I guess we just wait for the test results. 'Til then. See
ya, Squall.
Selphie: (to Squall) See ya!
Squall goes into the hall and there he listens to Xu, Quistis and
Headmaster Cid.
Xu: Mission complete! I think we did a pretty good job. The candidates
are back safely, right? Although we didn't realize the Galbadian Army
was after the abandoned communication tower...
Headmaster Cid: We've just received word from the Dollet Dukedom. The
Galbadian Army has agreed to withdraw as long as the communication
tower is repaired and the uplink remains operational.
Xu: Well, in any case, Galbadia is out of there. We could've made more
money if they'd stayed and caused more ruckus.
Squall talks to Seifer.
Seifer: D'you hear about the communication tower in Dollet? We would've
been heroes if it weren't for that withdraw order.
Quistis and Xu arrived.
Quistis: You were only looking for a fight.
Seifer: My dear instructor. I'm hurt. Those are rather cruel words for
an aspiring student. A mediocre instructor like you will never
understand.
Xu: Seifer, don't be so stuck on yourself. You'll take all
responsibility for leaving the designated area.
Seifer: Isn't the captain's duty to take the best possible action?
Xu: Seifer, you'll never be a SeeD. Calling yourself a captain is a
joke.
Xu left and Headmaster Cid arrived and told Quistis something.
Headmaster Cid: Seifer. You will be disciplined for your irresponsible
behavior. You must follow orders exactly during combat. But I'm not
entirely without sympathy for you. I don't want you all to become
machines. I want you all be able to think and act for yourselves. I am...
Garden Faculty: Headmaster Cid, you have some business in your office...
There are so many issues at hand here.
Squall move on until he heard an announcement.
Announcer: All students who participated in today's field exam, report
to the 2nd floor hallway. I repeat. All students who took the field
exam, report to the 2nd floor hallway.
Squall proceeds to the 2nd floor. In there while waiting...
Garden Faculty: Dincht... Zell Dincht.
Zell: OHHHHH YEAHHHHHH!!! See ya!!!
Garden Faculty: Squall... Squall from Squad B. Please step forward. That
is all. Dismissed.
All the other students were disappointed for that. Meanwhile in
Headmaster Cid's office...
Garden Faculty: These are the 4 students that passed today's exam.
Headmaster Cid: First of all, congratulations. However... From now on, as
a member of SeeD, you will be dispatched all over the world. We are
proud to introduce SeeD. Balamb Garden's mercenary soldiers. SeeD
soldiers are combat specialists. BUT... That is only one aspect of SeeD.
When the time comes...
Garden Faculty: Headmaster... It's almost time for the meeting. Please
make this short. SeeD is a valuable asset to Garden. It's reputation is
solely dependant on each one of you. Handle your mission with care. (to
Headmaster Cid) Is that what you wanted to say, sir? Here is your SeeD
rank report!
Headmaster Cid: (to Selphie as he gives the report) Psst...Psst... (I'm
looking forward to the Garden Festival.) (to the other student as he
gives the report) Psst...Psst... (Do your best, even if you don't stand
out.) (to Zell as he gives the report) Psst...Psst... (Try to control your
emotions a little.) (to Squall as he gives out the report) Psst...Psst...
(Finally... A gunblade specialist.) This ends the SeeD inauguration.
Dismissed!
Squall talks to Cid and after that, Squall goes to the 2nd floor and
upon arrival, everyone gave Squall's group an applause. Squall then saw
his rank. After that, he return to the dormitory.
Selphie: HAH! Found you! Well, well!? What do you think!? My SeeD
uniform!
Squall changes to his SeeD uniform. Then he talks to Selphie...
Selphie: Heeey! Lookin' good! Alright! Let's hit that PAAH-TAY!
Meanwhile in the Garden Festival, Squall is alone and gets a glass of
wine from the waitress.
Zell: Yo! S'up, Squall? Heh-heh, I guess we're both SeeDs now, huh? Put
it there, man. Hah, even as a SeeD, you're still the same. Well, that's
typical of you. See ya.
Zell left.
Selphie: Oh...hey, Zell. Wanna join the Garden Festival committee and...
Zell: Sorry, I...ahh... Just remembered something! G-Gotta go. See ya!
Selphie: Hmmmm... Squall! Hi! Wanna join the Garden Festival committee?
You can help out whenever you have time. Please?
Squall: .........
Selphie left.
Selphie: S'cuse me! You, right there!
We watch a movie of Squall seeing a woman he doesn't know.
Rinoa: You're the best guy here. Dance with me? Let me guess... You'll
only dance with someone you like. Ok then... Look into my eyes... You're-
going-to-like-me... You're-going-to-like-me... Did it work?
Squall: ...I can't dance.
Rinoa: You'll be fine. Come on. I'm looking for someone. I can't be on
the dance floor alone.
We watch a movie of Squall being forced to dance with that woman. After
that, Squall is outside of the balcony.
Quistis: You really are an excellent student. Even that dance was
perfect.
Squall: Thank you. (waiting for Quistis to talk) Yes?
Quistis: So you'll dance with someone you don't even know, but you
can't stand being around me?
Squall: ...Whatever. You're an instructor, and I'm your student. It's
kind of awkward when you don't say anything.
Quistis: That's true. I was like that myself. ...Oh, I completely forgot.
I wonder what's to become of me? I've come to give you an order. You
and I are to go to the 'secret area'. It's where students secretly meet
up and talk after curfew. It's inside the training center.
Squall: What do you want to do there? Are we going there to tell
everyone they're violating curfew? If that's the case, forget it. Leave
that for the disciplinary committee.
Quistis: Go get changed and meet me in front of the training center.
This will be my last order.
Squall: (Get changed and meet at the training center? What's this all
about...?)
Later in the dormitory, Squall changes to his normal clothing. Then he
proceeds to the Training Center.
Quistis: Squall, I was just wondering... Have you fought T-Rexaur in the
training center?
Squall: I'm not sure...
Quistis: You can defeat it quite easily by using Status-J. Let's go
over Status changes in the Tutorial!
Quistis told Squall about it.
Quistis: Well? Use a Sleep attack against T-Rexaur. Just junction
'Sleep' onto your ST Atk-J and attack. Come on, let's go to the 'secret
area'. It's just inside the training center.
In the secret area...
Quistis: I haven't been here for a while.
While Squall and Quistis get a view of Balamb Garden...
Quistis: What time is it?
Squall: It's after midnight.
Quistis: Oh well... I, Quistis Trepe, am no longer an instructor as of
now! I'm a member of SeeD now, just like you. Who knows, maybe we'll
end up working together.
Squall: ...Oh really?
Quistis: Is that all you're going to say?
Squall: If that's how it was decided, you have to abide by it.
Quistis: They told me that I failed as an instructor. Basically, that I
lacked leadership qualities. I was a SeeD by the age of 15, got my
instructor license at 17... It's only been a year since I got it... I
wonder where I went wrong... I did my best... Are you listening?
Squall: Are you done yet...? I don't wanna talk about it. What am I
supposed to say about other people's problems?
Quistis: I'm not asking you to say anything. I just want you to listen.
Squall: Then go talk to a wall.
Quistis: Aren't there times when you want to share feelings with
someone?
Squall: Everyone has to take care of themselves? I don't want to carry
anyone's burden.
Quistis: ...No leadership qualities... Failed instructor... Perhaps they're
right...
Later, Squall and Quistis are on their way back until...
???: Somebody help!!
It's the woman that Squall saw in the beginning.
Ellone: Squall!!! Squall! Quisty?
Squall pulls out his gunblade and he and Quistis fights Granaldo and
three Raldos. After killing them...
White SeeD Member: It is not safe here. Please, let's go.
Ellone: Alright.
Ellone and the soldiers left.
Quistis: Who was that...?
Later in the hallway...
Quistis: Squall. It's not like everyone can get by on their own, you
know? (she left)
Squall: ...Says who?
Squall goes to the dormitory. In the hallway...
Zell: Where the hell were you? I was lookin' all over the place. We're
both now members of SeeD, right? Well, guess what!? We got our own
rooms, baby! Your new room's right across the hall from your old one.
That's what I was asked to tell you. Man, it took me forever!
Squall goes into the room.
Squall: I'll just go to sleep...
