A/N: Okay sorry for not updating sooner had a lot of things to do so here it is the next chapter!

Chapter 7: Darkness appears within the light.

Zador was at in the Inn in Balamb visiting his mother. Zador then heard a scream coming from the pier.

'What on Earth could that be?' thought Zador.

He stood up as did his mother. He began to run to the door when his mother, Mrs. Keldosa stopped him.

"Wait don't go you could get hurt!" shouted Mrs. Keldosa.

"Mother it's my job to help people!" replied Zador as he reassured his mother.

"You must not anger her!" stated Mrs. Keldosa.

"Anger who?" asked Zador

"Shiva, she has been getting a little out of hand lately if you anger her then she will do more damage and i can't let me son get harmed by her!" Mrs. Keldosa yelled tears began to drop from her eyes. "I cannot bear to lose you like your father.

"Is everything alright!" asked the Inn keeper.

"Its fine, just take care of my mother." stated Zador. "I will be fine mother i am trained to handle such situations!"

With that Zador bided farewell and headed for the pier.

Ella could see that Shiva seemed to have been possessed by something, could it be connected with what happened with the Elvoret? She didn't want to hurt it but to tame Shiva as she knew she wasn't strong enough to fight it. Ella focused her energy and casted fire on her. She backed away a little getting ready for an attack. Then she defended herself.

'Shiva's tough!' thought Ella as she dodged Shiva's attack.

Zador ran to the pier and saw that Ella was fighting against Shiva, who seemed possessed.

"Ella!" Zador shouted.

"Hey! About time you got here! give me a hand will ya? "She whined as she struck another blow on Shiva. Shiva started to cast Blizzaga on Ella but she blocks the attack with her fire saber.

Zador ran to Ella and looked at her Fire Sword.

"Nice weapon!"Zador sated "What the heck is wrong with Shiva?"

"Why thank you

Zador joined the battle going on with Shiva.

"My turn!" Zador said. "Time to summon Ifrit!"

Shiva flew back to the ground and began to fade away.

"Yes we won!" shouted Ella as she began to do her victory dance.

"Good work!" announced Zador.

"No sweat!" replied Ella

"You can now call upon Shiva!" stated Zador

"Really?" asked Ella

Zador nodded.

"Wicked!" replied Ella. "When is next class?"

"At 2.00pm make sure you tell the others I'm not having students missing lessons!" replied Zador as he walked off.

"Sure think Instructor!" stated Ella as she began to walk back to Balamb.

Zador returned to the Inn where his mother nearly flattened him by giving him a great big hug. (Sorry for this cheesy line). He then left then Inn and walked back to Balamb.

2:00pm came quicker than expect. Zador was sat in the classroom waiting for the students.

'All late again why do i even bother!' though Zador.

Ella strolled in to the classroom. Zador looked at his watch.

"Ella you are 5 minutes late please take a seat and don't be late again!" stated Zador.

Ella sighed in and sat down in her seat. She banged her head on her desk stupidly and switched her panel on.

"The others are late...as usual...which seems to be becoming a habit among you all..."Zador said and smiled." Today we will be learning about GF leveling."

Zador stood up and walked around the classroom.

"GFs level up just like we do. When they level they learn new skills, magic and abilities."

Ella wrote down notes from time to time. She looked at her rind proudly again and then listened to Zador continue. She started to tap her pencil on her desk.

Rikkii they walked in.

"Hey Mr. Z, Hey Ella did i miss anything?" asked Rikkii

"Just sit down Rikkii please!" stated Zador

"Okay, sorry I'm late by the way!" replied Rikkii

"Thank you, now lets get on with today's lesson!" stated Zador as he stood up. "We are going to learn all about GF's today..." he said.

"Now tell me...what GF's do you use?" Zador asked." What types and what names? You have named your GF's right?" Zador walked to Ella.

"I use Shiva and Siren, one ice and one physical but it puts status affects on the opponent. And I don't name my GFs "she answered while writing down notes.

"Ok, so their attacks are...Diamond Dust and Silent Voice. You have some nice summons there... Shiva you just acquired at Balamb and...Did you draw Siren from Elvoret?" Zador asked and looked at Ella.

"Yes I did..." she said proudly and wrote down more notes.

'I wonder where Hana and Ivan are?' though Ella.

The lesson went on...

Ivan was still at his desk, studying away. He hadn't eaten or slept; he'd just studied and studied for hours and hours. He just didn't feel like coming out of his dorm, he'd locked the door. He glanced up again at the Letter he'd pinned on the wall, a tear formed in his eye and slid down he's face, until it dropped onto the textbook he had open. He glanced down at the textbook again, and looked at the printed words, but wasn't taking anything in. Then he stood up and threw his swords out of the window in frustration.

"Why..." he whispered, "Why now..." He collapsed onto his bed and stared at the ceiling.

The bell then began to ring.

Ella got up and went to her dorm.

'Man how boring, i wonder where Hana and Ivan are?' thought Ella

Ella decided to see if Hana was in her dorm. She got to the door a knelt to where the keyhole was.

'Looks like no ones in.' thought Ella. Ella walked past Ivan's room and heard a loud noise kind of like a window smashing.

'Huh?' Wondered Ella

"Ivan are you in there? Is everything okay?" she asked.

Meanwhile...

Hana was in the library studying but she must have fallen asleep. She found that it was 11:00PM

'Darn, I've missed Class again!' she thought ' Oh well, ill go tomorrow!'

Hana picked up her books and left them in her dorm. She then went to the training room to train herself and her GF's for when anything happened.

The next day soon arrived and it was lunch time. Hana was determined not to miss her next class. It was 1:55pm so Hana went straight to class. When she arrived no one was in the class so she sat down in her place switched on her study panel and began to study as she waited for her next class.

Zador had had a talk with Mar and then had headed to keep his next lesson for Ella, Hana, Ivan and Rikkii. When he arrived at the classroom, Hana was already sitting there.

"Hana, good to see that you are attending this lesson. But...the others don't seem to be here..."

Meanwhile at the dorms...

Ivan sighed and stood up, and opened the door to Ella.

"Yes, what is it?" he said, trying very hard not to sound upset or angry.

"You okay, you seem a little upset about something!" stated Ella.

Back in the classroom...

"There normally late anyway Mr. Z!" said Hana as she began to study some more.

It was getting later and nobody had arrived. Hana had a feeling that something was wrong maybe but she wasn't too sure. She didn't want to jump to any conclusions so she just sat there till the class started.

"Hmm...They are getting detention..." Zador stated.

"Sir i think something wrong with Ella, please don't give them detention!" begged Hana

"Hmm, we will see if what you are saying is true soon enough!" stated Zador.

'Crap my begging doesn't work i must be loosing my touch darn!' thought Hana

Meanwhile...

Ivan looked at Ella, 'How did she guess?' he thought.

Then said, "No...N-nothings wrong. Anyway, you're going to be late for class. You better hurry up, or you'll get detention." He hoped he wasn't being to strange towards her, and also that she didn't take this the wrong way.

"But thanks for asking about me anyway."

"Okay then I'd better get back to class then!" stated Ella

Ella went to class and Ivan sat down on his bed.

'I bet I've done something bad no wonder why the headmasters after me!' thought Ivan
