Leon and Seifer exited the Fire Caverns slowly and engaged in conversation as they trudg forth.
"A Dark force known as Odin riding on a horse of pure darkness pursued me. I helad my Gunblade high and simply slashed through it, killing the dark rider," Seifer proudly stated.
"That s quite interesting," Leon smiled.
Seifer kept babbling on about how great of a warrior he was as they entered the Front Gate.
Leon interrupted Seifer. "Sir, my first official assignment takes place in 1 hour."
"Ah, yes, and where will you be heading?" Seifer asked.
"The mission is unknown as of now, sir," Leon stated.
"Oh, carry on," replied Seifer.
Leon saluted to Seifer and headed into the large building known as Balamb Garden.
Leon stood in attention as Instructor Trepe and Headmaster Leonheart (his father) told them which teams were going with which teams and so forth.
"Leon Leonheart," Quistic called. ( He hated how that sounded since his first name was the beginning of his last name) "You will be in a team with Jacob Dincht, Fiona Anderson, and Nida Phillips, in which you will be the Captain of the group."
Leon nodded as Jake sarcastically patted Leon on the back in appreciation. Leon stared back at his friend and arched his left eyebrow.
The four kids along with Quistis headed towards the town of Balamb in one of the Garden vehicles.
"Headmaster Leonhart parked the Ragnorok outside the small town of Balamb. He said the mission is very urgent and we would need a vehicle that could travel a far distance," Informed Quistis.
Leon nodded as the 5 stepped out of the car and headed towards the outskirts of the town. Quitis pressed a button on the car-key they used for the Garden vehicle. The latch opened and a rail descended.
They were greeted by a brunette-haired woman who looked the same age as Quistis. She extended her hand and greeted them. "Hello, I m Xu, and I will be inforing you of your current mission." Leon smiled and shook her hand and they all sat down in what seemed to be a lounge. Leon had been in this room many times before with his father and knew the place like the back of his hand.
Xu assigned a man to pilot the ship.
"Ok, here is the current status," Xu stated and a screen appeared behind her.
"At about 300 hours this morning, the Galabian Army ambushed the Esthar Garden."
"Galabia!" Quistis was shocked. "I thought after we defeated the Sorceress, we signed a Peace Treaty."
"The reason for their ambush, is unknown," Xu stated.
