Chapter 3
Squall and Rinoa burst onto the deck and saw bunch of about twenty rangers around a man in red robes wielding a long knife. The man was absolutely massacring them. The man was Vincent.
"Vincent! Put down your weapon let them know you're a friend." Vincent turned and saw Squall, he nodded and jumped over all the rangers and landed a couple of meters behind them. He put down his knife and held up his hands.
"You're under arrest sir." Said a nearby ranger.
"He's okay." Squall said. "I know him, he's a friend." The rangers looked at Squall and eventually turned away.
"Yes, he did put his weapon down. But still, geez a knife! That's so old fashioned…"
"It's good to see you again Squall, I was afraid we'd all been separated again."
"We still haven't found Cloud." Rinoa said.
"Don't count on it!" They all looked up and saw a man with blonde hair drop down from the ceiling. "I'm here."
"Good. We don't want to be apart like before." Squall said. "I'm pretty sure we're in Ratchet's world."
"We are. I saw a coat hanger with his name above it." Vincent said sheathing his knife.
"Well then that's settled. What do we do now?" Rinoa's question was a good one.
"Well this is a pretty advanced place. Maybe we can find somewhere were we can contact our world." Cloud said.
The group walked back to the school's main hall and sat in the corner.
"That there's Lulu." Rikku said. "If you're gunna be in the group you need to know everyone else!"
"That's Wakka." Tiffa pointed to a man with orange hair and carrying a blue ball in his hands.
"And that's Kimharri, Auron and Paine" Yuna said pointing to the other three people in the hall at that time. Kimharri was some sort of blue tiger standing upright carrying a spear with him. Paine was sitting at the side wearing black and with her head in her heads. Ratchet thought she would be the rebel of the school. Auron was sitting alone with his hand on his sword and his collar up concealing his mouth.
"I'll remember th…" Ratchet was suddenly interrupted as the entire south wall of the hall collapsed about to fall on Kimharri. He curled up in a ball and was then buried under the rubble. The man Ratchet had so recently faced flew in through what was so recently a wall. Everyone drew their weapons and prepared to fight the man.
Cloud sighed and sat down. They had searched all day and couldn't find anything. "It's hopeless" Rinoa said and leant against the wall. She fell backwards as the wall slid away to reveal a secret room in the wall. Squall helped Rinoa up and they went inside to have a look inside. They couldn't find anything of use although Vincent found some sort of control panel. He pressed a button and a map came up.
"Squall, look it's a map of our school." It showed the entire building very well. There were two bright lights on the screen. A blue one near the south side of the hall and a red one in the corner of the hall.
"What does it all mean?" Cloud asked.
"I'm afraid you're not going to be alive long enough to find out." Out of the shadows stepped as robot butler carrying a large missile launcher in his hands.
Ratchet and the others drew their weapons.
"This guy doesn't give up does he?" Ratchet said. To their left Wakka threw his ball at the man which he dodged easily. He then sent a bolt of lightning at Wakka who screamed and fell to the floor. Lulu went over and tested his pulse but got up and shook her head. The man was about to send another bolt at the others when Kimharri jumped out from under the rubble and struck the man who winced and grabbed Kimharri's spear. He swung Kimharri into the opposite wall and he slid to the ground clearly knocked out. The man then sent out a large gush of water at Paine and Lulu who got swept up in the water and crashed into the back of the hall with Kimharri. Auron however jumped and grabbed a rope from the wall which they used for gym practice and flew at the man pulled out his sword and swung it at the man. He managed to slash him on the chest although then the man merely put out his hand and pushed Auron back down to the ground. He then looked at the other four and flew out again.
"We've gotta follow him!" Tifa cried.
"Shouldn't we try and get someone to help us like Cid or someone?" Yuna asked.
"No we go now."
"Tifa's right. Come on."
