Chapter 1 : A Year Later
Squall awakens sweating...this wasn't the first time that he has been waken by a nightmare about Ultimecia. But like every morning for the past year he shrugs it off and gets up and prepares for another day in this new...safe world. Rinoa, already haven gotten up, was making something to eat when Squall enters.
"I had the dream again" Squall said as he had many a morning
"Again?...you know that we defeated her..so you have nothing to worry about...now here eat your food" she said as he set his food in front of him
She wasn't the best cook but squall wouldn't let her know that and he begins to eat.
"Yeah I know...but something doesn't feel right"
"Any way"she said changing the subject "Irvine stopped by earlier..he left this for you.." she handed him a box about the size of a video cassette
"I wonder what this could be..."Squall opens the box to find a video with no label
Squall and Rinoa walk into their living room and he puts the video in...
the tape begins with Irvine talking about were he is..."I am now...running...through Dollet...I heard from an old fiend that a small...cult was trying to resurrect Ultimecia..and this will be proof"...the video goes on to show a small group of sorcerers standing around a fire making sacrifices and calling upon Ultimecia's spirit..that is when Squall turns it off.
Squall can do nothing but sit and think..he remembers how close he came to loosing Rinoa and all of his friends the last time they had to deal with her..and he really didn't want to do it again
"we..have to stop them before they bring her back...I cant risk loosing any of you again"
Squall stands up and walks over to the door and grabs his coat "ill be back..i need to go see Irvine...and Rinoa could you get Zell and Quistis?"
"sure don't worry ill go get them..what is it you want to do?"
"I think its time we stop them..and that means we et back together" He walks out of the door and heads towards the dock so he can board a boat and head to Dollet were he will see Irvine.
Back in town Rinoa head just a few houses down were zell moved in after his mom died..she knocks on his door..and after almost a minuet Zell sluggishly answers the door"yeah what do you wan...oh Rinoa...hey come on in"he opens the door and welcomes her in...he sits down at a table and asks the obvious question"so what brought you here and without Squall?"
"Well...Irvine came by early..and he dropped off a video...and..it shows a new group trying to resurrect Ultimecia..."
Zell almost chokes when she says this "Are you...sure"..he could barely believe what she said "are they really trying..to bring..her back"
"well thats what Irvine said on the tape..Squall is headed to Dollet to see what else is going on and I need to get the rest of our group...well if you want you can come with me to Balamb Garden to get Quistis"
Zell stands up and stretches and tosses a few punches and kicks "I would love to...I haven't been there since After we defeated her..i would love to go back"...he goes up to his room and gets dressed to go out..."ok..so are we ready"
