Chapter 3 Laguna's POV

Looking at those faces I couldn't help smiling to my self. Most of them looked surprised to a point of shock while others were terrified. Only the ancient old man seemed ok. Hugs and kisses were exchanged (except for Kiros who at the sight of Selphie leaning on Irvine ran away crying).

"OK we leave now." I shouted.

"Shut up shut up shut up shut up" came the responses.

So it came to be that we ended up eating lunch at Balamb Garden before we left. What a drag.

At 1300 we left for Timber. There we would once again be reunited with the resistance. The resistance was just a courtesy since Timber was now independent. They were more like vigilantes but they were Rinoa's annoying friends.

"Ok here's the plan." I exclaimed. "You all may be to foolish and naïve to understand this but there is more than one enemy here." I took a pause to let them soak it in and look at me bewilderedly. "But seeing as I'm smarter and superior to you OOOF… That hurt Zell. You idiot go back to counseling OWWW… ok sorry."

RATATAT.

"YOU SHOT ME!" screamed Zell.

"Ok now that Zell has been tranquilized, there is more than one sorceress. One is Rinoa. There are 4 more. We know that one of 'em has kidnapped Ellone. We also know that they are all on separate continents. This means we will split into parties. The 3 intelligence experts stay. That means Xu, Zone and Watts. That leaves us with 12 people. Divide that by 4 sorceresses and we get ummmmmmm 7 parties of 19.

"Sir? Actually its 4 parties of 3" said Xu.

"You know that's what I meant. HEHE yes yes. Rinoa will be in the most protected party. That will include Squall and Ward. Next we need some power, finesse, and healing in every party. Therefore, party 2 will be Zell, Kiros, and Selphie. (At this Kiros turned as red as a beet and Irvine turned pale). Party 3 will be Rajin, Fujin, and Quitsis. This leaves party 4 to Irvine, Seifer and I.

"My party will take Esthar of course. Selphie you know Trabia best, it's all yours. Rinoa's party will take Galbadia and Quistis; you will lead your party to Centra."

"We all deserve some rest so we leave tomorrow. Watts please arrange 3 more sources of transportation seeing as I will take the Ragnarok," declared Squall.

"OH NO YOU WON'T!" I shouted. "We are going farthest."

"Fine be that way you big baby."

The next day we took off.

"I say we check Tear's Point first" said Seifer.

We checked Tear's Point and we checked the Lunatic Pandora floating over it. It was barren and deserted. Next we went to the sorceress' memorial.

"WHO ARE YOU!" screamed a frightened doctor.

"Its just me you pen pushing fool."

"President! Oh my god I apologize. We have had some weird readings lately and we've been trying to contact you for you see something horrible has happened. Lunar Gate has been bombed by a sorceress."

"BOMBED? You mean magically right?"

"Naturally sir."

"Seifer, Irvine lets go."

"Bah you stupid BUM. Stop tellin' me what to do."

"Shut up Seifer or I'll spank you."

"You take things too far. WHAAAAAA!"

"Irvine contact the others done."

"Yes sir"

"All groups we have an emergency situation…"
