Author's Note: This story is more like a crossover. The enemy in this story is an enemy from a different Final Fantasy game. There will also be two characters from that game in this story. Who are they? You'll find out soon.
Two years later,
Squall Leonhart sat on the beach of Balamb. He always came there to relax and think. He thought about the events that took place exactly two years ago. He remembered how upset his girlfriend, Rinoa, was when she became a sorceress. She thought that Squall would have to her, but instead, he became her knight. A sorceress isn't that great, unless she has a knight. He also thought about the dream world Ellone brought him to. He thought Laguna Loire was a moron, but soon found out he was very brave and that he was Squall's father. Squall wished his mother, Raine, was alive. The people of Winhill blamed Laguna for her death. They said that if he never showed up, Raine would not have married him and died from birth complications. Squall tried not to think too much about it. Though he only saw her in a dream, he loved her very much. He didn't know what to think of Laguna really. He never called him "father" or "dad." Laguna was upset about that, but understood completely. They never spent much time together either. Squall was the headmaster of Balamb Garden and Laguna was the president of Esthar.
Squall was mad at first when Headmaster Cid Krammer gave his job to Squall, but he knew that Cid was getting older and needed to catch up with his wife, Sorceress Edea.
Squall let out a soft sigh as he looked at the water. Things were very peaceful. He and the other SeeDs at Balamb hadn't had to fight for two years now. They only times they fought were in the training center. Squall looked at his watch and saw that it was getting late in the afternoon. He got up and brushed the sand off his pants.
Squall walked back to the garden. As he entered the garden, he saw many students walking around. "Lunch break is over, you should all get back to class." Squall said. The students like out an "awww" and walked to their classes. Squall grinned and shook his head. Though he was basically around the same age as they were, he felt much older than them. He thought of the title "headmaster" as a title that belonged to an older person.
Squall walked into the main part of the garden. He saw the directory in front of him with new students trying to figure out where to go. Behind the directory was the elevator. Squall pressed "2" on the button. "I want to see Rinoa before I go back to the office." He thought. Rinoa was teaching the children students in defense. They couldn't fight to well so she thought defense would be a great class and decided to teach it. The children loved her as a teacher. She was an excellent teacher.
Squall walked down the hall and quietly entered Rinoa's classroom.
"If your attacker uses magic attacks, it's best to try to defend yourself or cast "shell" on yourself so that it won't hurt you as much." She explained.
"Miss Rinoa, Headmaster Squall is here." Said one of the female children pointing at the door. Rinoa looked at Squall and put a magical item on her desk. "Excuse me class, I'll be right back." She said. Her and Squall then walked into the hall.
"Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you had anything planned tonight." He said.
"Nope, I don't have anything planned," She answered. She put her arms behind he back and swayed back and forth, "Are you asking me out on a date?" She asked with a smile. "Yes." He answered.
"What time?" She asked.
"Seven 'o clock sound good?" He asked.
"Yes!" She answered.
"See ya then." He said and leaned forward to kiss her. They broke their kiss and continued doing their business.
That night,
Rinoa got herself ready for her date. She wore her short white dress and matching white shoes. "Probably too formal, but that's okay. He's Squall, he won't care." She thought. She walked to her desk and looked in her mirror to put her makeup on. As she was putting on her lipstick, she suddenly felt a weird sensation. She dropped the lipstick and gasped. She couldn't explain what she just felt. It was some sort of strange vibe. She suddenly had a bad feeling. Like something bad was about to happen. "I'm a sorceress. It was probably something important. I shouldn't ignore this. I need to be careful. I can feel it."
Thirty minutes later Rinoa heard someone knocking on her door. She opened the door and smiled. "Hey, Squall." She greeted. She walked to her bed and grabbed her thin jacket. "Where are we going tonight?" She asked.
"Beach sound good?" He asked.
"Yes!" She answered.
Squall and Rinoa sat side-by-side on the beach. The sun was setting. It was a beautiful sight to see. Rinoa rested her head on Squall's shoulder and sighed. He put his arm around her shoulders and held her close to him. "This is so beautiful, Squall." She said. He looked at her and smiled. "Thank you for coming into my life." He said.
"I'm glad I did." She replied. He then leaned in to kiss her. When he closed his eyes and touched her lips, he saws images rush through his mind. He saw two men. He could not get a good look at them for the image was blurred. He then heard a voice.
"I'm looking for the one strong enough…"
Squall broke the kiss and gasped. "You saw it, too?" Rinoa asked.
"What just happened?" He asked.
"I don't know. Earlier I felt a rush of emotions. Just now was the first time I heard a voice. When you kissed me, I guess you were able to see it, too." She explained.
"Squall!" Came a voice from behind.
Squall and Rinoa got up and turned around to see Quistis Trepe running towards them. The twenty-year-old instructor looked as if she had terrible news. "What's wrong, Quistis?" Squall asked.
"Balamb has been attack." She answered.
"What? We didn't hear anything." He replied.
"It was a sudden and very quiet attack. No one was killed. It seemed that this unknown force didn't intend to hurt anyone." She explained.
"Okay, let's go and gather information." He said.
The three ran to Balamb and saw people running around confused. Squall saw a young woman sitting on a bench. Squall walked up to her. "Excuse me." He said. The young woman stood up. "Hello, Mister Squall." Said the young woman.
"Can you tell me what happened?" He asked.
"There was different strange looking creatures. We only saw one at a time," She began, "Later a man approached me. He was very creepy. He had long black hair pulled in a messy ponytail. He was wearing a white lab coat. He must have been a scientist or a professor."
"Did he say anything to you?" Squall asked.
"Yes," She answered, "I'm looking for the one strong enough to handle his powers."
A/N: Kind of short, but the chapters will get longer. Has anyone figured out who the enemy is yet? If not it will be explained in chapter 2 or 3. I haven't decided yet. I'm busy working on three stories right now.
