Chapter 3
The T-Rex lunged forward his razor sharp teeth nearly catching Irvine on the leg. Irvine shot a round of shotgun ammo at the monster halting his dangerous progress. The cowboy unloaded a couple more shots at the dinosaur which wasn't really doing much damage. The ground below begun to shook. It was apparent that the dinosaur was beginning to use the magic Quake. The ground underneath Irvine began to break up like a jigsaw. The little pieces of ground began to jolt up causing Irvine to stumble and fall. The dinosaur leaned forward now towering over the body of Irvine. The cowboy had to think fast.
"I'm going to be this monsters meal if I don't think of something. Wait my Ultima Ammo" the sniper thought to himself.
He frantically began to search through his coat to find a round of Ultima ammo. It was placed tucked in and strapped inside the brown leather jacket. Meanwhile, the T-Rex roared in victory and his head flew forward about to strike it's prey. Irvine rolled out of the way of the lunge and started to load the deadly ammo into his gun. The dinosaur unmoved by the hard blow he just dealt himself looked up at Irvine who now was looking through the aim of his gun knelt down.
"Good night Rex" he stated to his foe as he pulled the trigger. The monster expecting to be able to handle the shot waited for the bullet. The bullet at incredible speed began to twirl towards the monster. As the bullet approached it just looked like a normal bullet. Irvine began to panic and hoped this would kill his foe. As the bullet approached the monsters purple belly the bullet began to change to a blue-yellow colour. It tore through the belly causing the skin to burn away exposing the insides of the dinosaur. He screamed in pain causing Irvine to block his ears. The cowboy looked down at the monster and smiled. He picked his brown hat up of the ground, dusted it off and placed it back on his head.

Cid Kramer adjusted his red waistcoat and his tie. He was about to enter the meeting. The meeting was an annual one instated after the Ultimecia Battle. The leaders of each city and village gathered at least once a month to discuss problems and solutions. Cid took of his glasses and wiped them.
"This crap meetings" he angrily thought to himself. After Ultimecia, Cid wanted to spend more time with Matron. He was still headmaster of Balamb Garden but was more part time. Xu decided to take over the paperwork while must newly recruited SeeD's were talked to by Squall. Still though Squall wasn't the most diplomatic so Cid still had to do the meetings every month.
He walked into the room. It was a large room. A round lightblue table dominated the room. It took up more than half the room. The chairs were also light blue but with wierd tribal signs in a yellow colour at the back. The rest of the room was dark but the table had a very bright light in the centre. Cid noticed Laguna Loire The Esthar President was there as was Vinzer Pollini the Deiling Dicator. Timber's independence was finally given to them and newly elected president was Delta Corel. Cid took his seat right beside Loire and awaited the meeting to commence. Pollini stood up and announced the agenda.
"Subject matter number one... Trabia Garden. Now as you all know I have built up Trabia Garden now it may take a few months but progress is good."
"And may I be the first to congralute you on such gracious gifts to the savours." Delta announced.
"They were nice gifts Pollini." Cid stated. The Balamb leader looked to see Laguna was nearly asleep.
"Where is The Shumi Village leader and the WinHill leaders?" Delta asked.
"The Shumi Village and WinHill leader have told us that they will not be attending this months as they have domestic problems to contend with." Pollini replied.
"Anything SeeD can do?" Cid worriedly asked.
"No I don't think so yet anyway." Pollini answered.
"I shall contact them first thing in the mourning to see if any solution can be found. Isn't that why we do these meetings to solve problems and preserve peace between each city and village." Cid announced like he was doing a speech to a group of students.
"Yeah about that there Cid...Ah...I won't be attending these meetings anymore. I step down as Esthar President tomorrow." Laguna looked up at Cid whose face was in shock. The Balamb leader knew as long as Loire was president then Esthar and Balamb were at peace. A new president could upset the balance. A new president could upset world peace.
"But Laguna a new president could upset the balance. Finally Esthar were getting involved in world matters not just there own and now your leaving" Cid couldn't believe it. The esthar president was pretty shocked at Cid's emotional outburst.
"Laguna Loire you have been a great help to the world and for that we thank you." Pollini interupted the proceedings. He shook the hands of Laguna.
"Thanks Pollini and I'm sorry Cid but I want to spend some time with people I hold dear. You understand right?" Laguna looked at Cid with puppy-dog eyes.
'I...I suppose. Good luck Laguna." the headmaster said with shame in his eyes.
"Squall I need to see him soon. I need to tell him something" the now former Esthar President stated. The rest of the meeting was idle chat about affairs. Laguna named out the candidates for the next Esthar elections.

Selphie looked at the her alarm clock. It was 12:30pm.
"OH MY..I Slept in!" Selphie was alarmed at how long she had slept for. She was the type of girl who loved to get up early in the mourning. It meant she had a longer day. The hyper girl frantically searched her apartment for clothes. She finally picked up a yellow T-shirt and wore a tight black pants. She also put on some white runners.
"KNOCK...KNOCK!" The knock on the door startled Selphie.
"Yes...who is it?" she asked to the knocker.
"It's Quistis hon" was the reply.
"Tee-Hee Quistis I'll be two seconds." She ran over to the door and opened to see Quistis in her battle gear. It was a peach coloured cut off leather top with purple sleeves that seemed detached from the leather top. She also wore a peach leather skirt that went down too her knee's. The skirt also had a black belt which hung from a angle around her waist to her rear. She also wore black boots.
"Why are you in your battle gear?" Selphie worriedly asked.
"Oh I have to go to WinHill with Zell and a couple of SeeD hopefuls. Some domestic issue's so Cid has ordered us to go and check it out. I was just calling to see if you were all right?" Quistis worriedly asked.
"Yeah I'm fine Quisty. I just needed some beauty sleep" she cheerfully replied with a smile on her face.
"Okay if you want to talk about anything you know you can talk to me." she looked into Selphie eyes and pointed with her finger in a motherly scolding way. The hyper girl replied by hugging Quistis.
"I'm fine but hungry, lets go to the cafeteria and get some breakf...er...lunch" she bit her lip as she realized breakfast was over about three hours ago and that lunch was now on.
"I just ate sorry hon. I also need to go and round up my group and meet outside the directory. I will see you later Seph" Quistis apoloised
"Don't worry about you big ape, go make SeeD proud." Seph started laughing as Quistis looked back and smiled.
