Chapter 23
Meanwhile in Balamb, Edea was going berserk. "Tidus get a squad of SeeDs at the front gate now!" She demanded.
"Yes your highness," smarted Tidus as he walked off.
"Hurry up, from what Zell said, they could be here any minute!" Edea yelled. Auron who was lazing about started laughing.
"Women worry too much when it comes to war. Just sit back and relax till they get here, then worry about it." Gestured Auron. Edea smacked him across the face.
"I didn't ask you did I? Since you think you know so much, I'd like to see you do the orders then." Edea held out the mike to him. Auron quickly grabbed it and raised it to his lips.
"Everybody Edea has appointed me the new leader for now. All of you who are standing around the front gates like a bunch of idiots, you can go back to what you was doing before. There is no point in getting ready for an army that might not get here." Auron put the mike back down. Edea started to laugh but caught herself.
"Well that was beautiful, only problem is when the enemy storms in we will probably lose half of our army to the surprise attack." Edea snapped then started to grab the mike but Auron stopped her.
"Like I said, there is no point in worrying about it. You have me, Sephiroth, Tidus, and Zell over here. Ain't no force strong enough to take this place over and I will take full responsibility." Said Auron. Edea looked at him then walked to the elevator.
"Well I'm going to go back to my dorm, I hope you know what you're doing." She retorted before she went down to floor 1. A few seconds after she left, Squall stormed in the room.
"Auron, where's Edea?" Squall asked.
"She is resting, I'm in charge of the garden right now." Auron replied. Squall caught his breath.
"Anyways, there are quite a few monsters on the loose. Most of them were destroyed in the explosion of the lab, but there is still a great deal out there. I have no idea where they will attack." Reported Squall.
"Calm down, I'm sure they will scatter and each town should be strong enough to take on one or two of them." Said Auron as he set in the desk chair.
"I don't think that is what we are looking at. Those monsters seem to group up before they attack. I wouldn't doubt it if they have demolished a few towns before I got here." Squall explained. Auron's shot up.
"If that is the case, we need to lure them here somehow." Said Auron. Squall scratched his head.
"Well, what if we made lots of noise...turn on the sirens all over this island?" Squall inquired. Auron grinned and patted him on the back.
"I like your style kid, now how do we turn them on?" Auron asked. Squall walked over to the desk and pressed a button underneath. Noise blasted everywhere, people in the garden all stopped what they was doing and glanced around.
"It's the first time we used them, so I think you should inform everybody that everything is ok." Squall explained. Auron nodded and picked up the mike. "Call the crew up here, Seifer too he will be good help." Auron flipped on the mike.
"Everybody this is just a test, sorry about the noise. By the way, could the following people please report to Edea's office: Zell, Tidus, Sephiroth, and Seifer." Auron flipped off the mike and a few minutes later they arrived in the elevator.
"Calling for the enemy?" Sephiroth asked. Auron nodded.
"What enemy, what's going on?" Seifer asked.
"Well, Seifer, we are about to be attacked by powerful monsters also known as Weapons." Auron stopped explaining when somebody else came up the elevator. The door opened and Rueben stepped out into the room.
"How dare you guys leave me out of this, I heard we are about to be under attack. And all you can think of is to call these 4 pansies up here to fight for you." Rueben gloated. Zell started to confront him but Auron stopped him.
"I don't know who you are, but you need to watch your tongue." Auron warned. Rueben walked over to him sticking his chest out.
"Old man, you need me for this...after I prove myself I will become a SeeD. Now, you let me fight or I will put your lights out right now." Threatened Rueben as he made a fist. Auron glared into his face.
"You are not ready for this, I suggest you go back down to where you are supposed to be and take cover." Ordered Auron. The kid shook his head and attempted to land an uppercut, but Auron grabbed his fist and twisted his arm around his back, then forced Rueben on his knees. Rueben started struggling.
"Let go of my arm or I'll..." Auron twisted his arm some more making him stop his babbling.
"You'll what? Look kid, these monsters are very dangerous. One or two of them isn't very much, but when you got 10 times that many you're in for the fight of your life." Auron warned. Rueben struggled to talk.
"Sir...I just want to prove myself...I promise I won't get in the way..." Auron shook his head.
"You're one stubborn little shit aren't ya? I guess I'll let you have one shot, if you mess up its back to the dorms for you." Said Auron as he released Rueben. Rueben nodded and quickly moved out of Auron's reach. "Anyways back to business. I will station everybody to parts of this Garden, they can fly so they can come from anywhere. Squall, I want you and Rueben to report to the front of the garden. Sephiroth you go the west side, and Tidus too the back. Zell you go down to the junior classroom and make sure nothing gets in there. Seifer just walk around and see if somebody needs help. I'll stay here at the heart of the garden." Auron walked over to his desk chair and sat while the others went off to the elevator.
As Squall and Rueben stood by the front gates Squall could see something coming in the distance. "Ready?" Squall asked. Rueben nodded as 4 Weapons came into view. As the nearest one charged Squall drew his gunblade pointing it straight out, Rueben did the same. Squall leaped on the neck of the monster piercing it while Rueben thrust his sword in the mouth and pulled the trigger. After decapitating it, the others seemed to get angry and charged with rage. As Squall leaped off the dead one another Weapons tail smacked him. Squall was thrown about twenty feet away and the other three Weapons circled in around Rueben. Rueben ran around the side of one slicing off its head, but the other one tackled him down with its four legs. Just as it was about to devour him Rueben saw a gunblade stick through its mouth. Squall twisted the gunblade and removed it and behind him was another Weapon ready to strike.
"Squall!" Rueben yelled as he threw his gunblade up in the throat of the monster above. Squall turned around and finished it off. Squall then stepped down and gave Rueben a hand in getting up. Squall then glanced over at the main office where Auron was, the silvery beast was approaching it.
"I think Auron is going to need our help. If I remember correctly, that beast seems very familiar from the one we ran from in Ultimecia's Castle. Anyways that thing was a handful then, I bet it's stronger now." Explained Squall as he darted off for the office as Rueben followed him.
Meanwhile in the classroom Zell was dealing with problems as well. A Weapon broke through the glass and started snapping at the kids. Zell tackled it trying a sleeper hold, but it was no use. He was flung off into the wall, as he rolled around on the floor the materia fell out of his pocket. Standing with it in hand, he summoned the power of holy. White beams shot from his hand into the monster, then beams burst out from its body exploding a bloody mess everywhere.
"See that kid's nobody can take on Zell." Gloated Zell and the little kids thought he was so cool.
Sephiroth and Tidus were just finishing their share as they seen some major explosions going on in the main office.
"What the hell?" Sephiroth questioned. He motioned Tidus to follow as he ran up to the elevator. As the doors opened they saw Auron, Squall, and Rueben struggling against a rather large metal looking Weapon.
"Sephiroth, Tidus hurry up and help us out!" Rueben yelled while he was clinging to its neck trying to find a soft spot. Squall took out his ultima materia and summoned the power.
"No Squall!" Sephiroth yelled, but it was too late. The Weapon reflected the power knocking the 5 of them too the floor.
"Damn, Omega is too strong?" Auron complained as he got back to his feet.
"So that's what it is called." Said Sephiroth. The five of them pounced it sticking their swords in him.
"This is pointless, it ain't even bleeding." Exclaimed Squall. The elevator doors opened and Seifer walked into the room.
"Looks like you guys could use a hand." Said Seifer as he leaped up slashing at the face of Omega. Minutes past and it didn't seem like Omega was wearing down.
"Hey this thing is a male isn't it?" Squall asked. He jumped off its back and rolled underneath the tail. Omega screeched as Squall plunged his sword into Omega's nut sack. Omega rolled over on his side kicking revealing his soft underside. Auron sliced down his stomach and the insides spilled out.
"We won!" Seifer yelled. Sephiroth shook his head.
"Don't get too proud, took 6 of us to kill him." Sephiroth complained. "Anyways Auron, I think you'd better tell everybody its ok to get on with their normal routines." Auron nodded in response and picked up the mike.
"Everybody, thanks for you're cooperation. The danger is gone now, we won." Auron put the mike down and heard a sudden cheer from the students. A few minutes later Edea came back to her office.
"What the hell went on in here!? You have monster guts all over my carpet!" Edea yelled. Auron jumped back.
"Uh, we did the best we could." Auron explained. Edea glared at him.
"Couldn't you have taken it outside before you killed it? Look at this place!" Screamed Edea. Squall grinned.
"Sorry Edea, we tried to convince Auron to take it outside. He is the one that made the mess too so don't blame us." Joked Squall. Everybody started laughing except Auron and Edea.
"Well I'm done here with you guys. I did my good deeds, now I think it's time for me and Aeris to go back to our world." Said Sephiroth as he quit laughing and left.
"He's just mad cause he ain't the strongest one here." Rueben whispered to Squall. Sephiroth turned around.
"What was that?" Inquired Sephiroth as he glared at Rueben. Rueben grinned.
"Well I've been thinking, we should have a tourney. Seifer and I have to duel anyways why not everybody join in. C'mon it'll be fun to kick your asses." Squall nodded.
"That does sound like fun, c'mon guys you up for it?" Squall asked looking at Sephiroth then at Auron. Sephiroth grinned.
"I'm in, but after I win I'm leaving." Said Sephiroth. Auron walked over to him.
"I don't guess you'll be leaving then cause you won't win." Gloated Auron.
"None of you are leaving till somebody cleans this mess up!" Demanded Edea. Everybody glanced back and forth at each other then at Edea. "Now!"
"Alright alright..." Auron whelped as he got the waste can and tossed the liver and the heart in it, then started picking up the intestines. The others felt sorry for him and they all joined in...and tomorrow they are going to find out who the best is...
Well that's about it for this chapter. You can guess on who wins the tourney if you want.
