Chapter Three: The Predator and The Prey

"This thing's really fast!" Selphie complimented. "Hey Mister, I think you are having a hard time holding Seifie on your shoulders. We are having a hard time." she added.

Seifie wasn't expecting a chocobo ride and so, her untied hair was gliding in the air, blocking Selphie's whole face.

"Here." the blonde man replied. He gradually handed over the young lass to the brunette by his left hand while the right hand took over the driving.

The chocobo continued jolting at extreme speed. At the same time, the three had a bouncy ride. Selphie was enjoying the cool breeze that damped on her face while Seifie, who was now at the accompaniment of her hands, was drowning in dizziness. "Sefie... are we there yet?" she asked faintly.

"Hold on, little one. We're almost there!" Selphie cheered.

The sun continued to shine brightly at their sight. It indicated that Selphie was way too late for her duty. Nevertheless, she didn't let any negative aura devour her.

Looking at the blonde who she just met, she began to ask him, "Hey! Who are you? I don't know your name yet."

"Zell. It's Zell Dincht, student at Balamb Garden." He waved his hand as a sign of hello. "Selphie, right? The young one's Seifie." he added.

"Yup! And we just moved in to Balamb. I was hired as an instructor." she thoroughly explained. Zell glanced at her with a shock written on his face.

"An instructor! You must be way too late right now!" he exclaimed, putting stress on that mark.

"I know, I know. So what do you think is my punishment then?" she wondered.

"Don't worry. The Headmaster's not that viscious-type. He's a gentle one. He's extraordinarily kind!" he complimented. "And he's the reason why the hotdogs are so great at the cafeteria!"

The two women cried in exultation. "REALLY! That's great!" They shook Zell's shoulders but soon, they all (including the chocobo) startled to a pause.

A fierce, booming roar was heard aloud in a distance. They began looking behind, their eyes stunned, revealing a viscious T-Rexaur lounging from the forest towards their direction. A stunned composure was soon followed with a deafening screeching. But still, the chocobo's legs were swallowed by numbness and wasn't able to exert a single step.

"RAAAAA-AA-RRR" the T-Rexaur growled again. It seemed that they needed a second snarling to be able to breach to their daydreaming.

The moment of realization soon embraced them as the T-Rexaur gained in distance. A rush of blood jolted to their nerves and Zell began to exclaim, "RUN!"

The chocobo released a squirm, breaking the ball of chains that were inhibiting its nerves to run. Dusts formed at the rear as the chocobo lurched towards the school gate. The T-Rexaur, on the other side, was gaining closer to them. Selphie threw a glance at her back, revealing the T-Rexaur's sharp fangs hungry to assault to their flesh.

"ZELL! COULD YOU PLEASE DRIVE FASTER! THE MONSTER'S ABOUT TO EAT US!" she shouted, slapping Zell's shoulders.

"Selphie, I'M TRYING!" he shook the chocobo's head, instructing it to run faster. But it seemed that the chocobo was draining out of energy.

"Zell! Mr. Chocobo's fainting! What are we gonna do!"

"The Main Gate's almost there!"

:Meanwhile, at the Main Gate:

"Hey, bro', do you see that?" asked Guard #1.

"Looks like a stampede." Guard #2 answered back. He went to the center of the gate's main entrance to stop the jolting object. But it seemed that the object rushing thru them wasn't decreasing in speed. The guards began to panic.

"THAT THING IS CRAZY! LET'S GET OUT OF HERE!" They manipulated the control panel to open the gate's Main Entrance and ran at the Garden like kids crying to their mothers just because they lost their pet.

:At The Garden:

Here goes the videophone again...

"ANNOUNCEMENT: All students assemble at the First Floor Hallway. Monsters are approaching. Disciplinary Committee, proceed at the Garden's Main Entrance and stop the monsters from penetrating through."

"That thing's a HECK, ya' know?" Rajin began to exclaim.

Fujin frowned, "SHUT!" Like as always, she kicked Rajin at the limb, leaving the man limping in pain.

"This looks GOOD. It's show time." the blonde man, Seifer, began to ran from the hallway to the Main Entrance to face the monster the videophone was talking about. The two soon followed Seifer who seemed to be their leader.

:BACK TO THE MAIN SCENE:

"We're almost there!" Zell cheered. He then began to cast 'Cure' to the chocobo to regain its energy.

"HASTE!" Selphie exclaimed as she cast the magic to the chocobo to increase its speed.

The three soon all stood from the chocobo to amplify its speed. "YEEEEE-EEEE HAAAA-AAAA!"

Seifie , regaining her consciousness, tried to cheer the chocobo, "Hang on, Mr. Chocobo! We're almost there!"

Finally, they reached the Garden's entrance. Unfortunately, the T-Rexaur bumped its head to the chocobo's rear, sending all of them flying to the air. They all smashed at the ground in pain. Seifie, who was the nearest to the T-Rexaur, was about to be attacked. The T-Rexaur snarled as it rushed its fangs on the young lass.

"Sefie, Zell, HELP!" Seifie screamed. She covered her face with her arms. "A-aaaa-aaahhh!"

In a flick of light, everything was reversed.

"TORNADO!"

The T-Rexaur started to float in the air along with debris. The latter sent it to the ground and lose almost all of its strength. With a finishing blow, Seifer used his limit break 'No Mercy' at the limping T-Rexaur. The T-Rexaur finally fainted and disappeared in the battlefield.

Selphie rushed at the girl who was nearly devoured by the viscious monster. "Seifie, Are you alright!" she asked, heart throbbing in superb velocity.

"I'm alrighty!" she smiled weakly. But shock was still written on her face. She took a deep breath to regain her normal state. The two soon stood and rushed to Zell, who was still unconscious.

"Hey there! The monster's already defeated." Selphie shook the blonde's face.

Finally, he patted his hand on his forehead and shoved the excess dust. He soon blinked his eyes to enlighten his sight. "What happened?" he asked.

"That man just saved us from danger." she pointed on the blonde who was equipped with a gunblade.

Zell frowned in anger, "THAT JERK?" He soon regained his composure. Seifer and company began to walk towards the three.

"What you all did was a catastrophe, ya' know that!" Rajin yelled.

"SILENCE!" Fujin, again and again, kicked him. Again, Rajin winced in pain.

"You two are relatives?" Seifer asked, smirk plastered on his face as always.

That smirk... he's after something. "No, we're not!" Zell yelled, anger seeping on his head once again. Selphie nodded, confirming that they're not.

"No. I was referring to the chocobo, CHICKEN WUSS!" Seifer chuckled.

Man... this jerk's burning my guts again! "Why you!" Zell agitated.

"Hey, Zell, relax!" Selphie spouted, trying to cool Zell down. Wow... I thought this man's gentle and kind. It was a mere opposite! "Uhmm... thank you for saving us from the T-Rexaur." she rather said.

"No problem, freak." Seifer teased as he looked at the brunette's disheveld hair.

Whatever. Selphie frowned, rolling her eyes. She then turned around. "Zell, would you mind taking us in a tour?" she asked.

"Sure! Then, we'll eat hotdogs at the Cafeteria" he invited.

"That's great!" Seifie added.

The three soon paced toward the Garden, leaving Seifer and company behind.

"You really crack into their nerves, ya' know that?" Rajin commented.

"SHUT!" Fujin, again and again and again, kicked him at the limbs, sending him limping in pain... again.

Seifer on the latter propped his gunblade on his shoulders. He turned his back and accidentally, the hilt of the gunblade smashed at Rajin, sending him to the ground.

"That hurts, ya know that!" Rajin exclaimed as he watched the two, who caused his pain, leaving him at the floor. "Hey, wait up!" he exclaimed. But the surge of pain didn't leave him. "OUCH! That still hurts, 'ya know that?"

A/N: Well, what can you say? Ever wonder why Seifer was called to demolish the T-Rexaur instead of Squall? Well, Squall's also going to have an appearance on the latter chapters. Please review! Please, please! It will be my honor! -grins in delight-
