Seifer blinked. "What do you mean...'Maleficent is supposed to be dead'?"

The brunette started pacing again. "Exactly what I just said. Maleficent was killed by Sora, Donald And Goofy." Seifer blinked again.

Sora...? Donald...? Goofy...? What sort of names were they? Did their parents want them to be laughed at? "And who are they exactly?" He asked, sinking into on of the abandoned chairs.

"Sora is the keyblade master and Donald and Goofy were sent by the king to help him." Squall said distractedly.

"What's a keyblade Squally?" Selphie pitched in.

"A Sword shaped like a key. Or a dragon wing, depends which side your on when you wield it." Seifer shook his head trying not to laugh as he got rid the image that had just came into his head of Squall prancing round poking hexadragons with a giant house key.

"Quistis." Squall said suddenly. She jolted slightly as he turned to look at her sharply. "What force is Maleficent using?"

The Slim Blonde flipped over some notes in her hand and flicked down them. "Um, In the report it seems that some how she is controlling mini shadows to attack people."

Squall took a sharp intake of breath and shook his head. "I thought so. She is using them again. They are called Heartless. They attack to weaken and then take the persons heart along with them. Thank fully if she is only using Mini Heartless she isn't up to full strength otherwise it would be a much worse situation if she could summon even one Invisible or Beamoth."

"Invisibles don't sound too good.." Zell muttered. "How can ya beat something that's invisible!"

"They aren't always invisible only when they use a certain attack, which is easy to dodge if you time it right...but beamoths are worse, you wouldn't even be able to fit one into this hall.."

They group fell silent at this. The silence was very short lived because at that moment sounds of shouting and fighting was coming up the corridor towards them.

A large group of people burst through the door, trying to push three girls off and away from them at the same time as dodging their attacks.

Seifer perked and eyebrow. "Jade?" He glanced at the blonde girl. Jade looked up at Seifer mid attack and glared at him.

"A little help here bro!"

"Right!" Seifer said running to help keep the group away from every one else. Squall grabbed his arm.

"Squad D fall back at once." He shouted to the girls. They ceased their attacks and crossed over to stand behind Squall and Seifer.

"Great save there bro(!)" Jade whispered to Seifer as she passed.

"I would of helped if Puberty Boy had let me!" he whispered back.

EARLIER OUTSIDE

Jade, Rin and Ellie stood on guard outside the gates again. That strange group who had demanded to see Mr Leonhart before were hovering around still, standing just out of ear shot and conversing deeply.

Jade narrowed her eyes. "Not sure I like this girls." She said quietly to the rest of her squad.

The black haired Rin nodded. "Yeah I agree, I think I preferred them threatening us, at least then we knew what they were up to!"

Ellie shook her head. "Lawd above! You two girls worry way an' all much, yeah? You should just relax. They won' get past us, ya know!" She said, grinning and pulling at Jades hair playfully.

"Um, guys...? Not to be a bother but...Where did they go...?" Rin asked pointing at the spot the group had been.

The purple haired girl smiled broadly. "Awright geeezzaa! Told yew I' would be awright but would yew listen? No. Sorted mate."

Fifteen minutes had past and Ellie leant back against a post and frowned at the distance. "'Ere, what's that?" she asked pointing. The other two girls turned and looked to where she was pointing. Their eyes widened as a brightly coloured vehicle that looked as if it was made out of Lego came speeding at them. (1.)

The girls jumped out of the way just in time as the vehicle crashed through the entrance, waking the guy who sat in the entrance box with a shock.

The car skidded to a halt and the group that Ellie, Rin and Jade were talking to jumped from the doors.

"Rin, Ellie! Quick! Run around to the front of them! They cant be allowed to get any further!" the enraged Jade shouted.

Seifer would never let her live it down if she allowed a couple of rat bags get past her into the garden. They rounded the front of the group and pulled their weapons out.

Cloud glanced at the unarmed Aerith and motioned for her to carry on past them as they fought of the girls. Cloud, Cid and Yuffie jumped foreword and started a fight with Squad D. Aerith slipped past the fight and started looking in each section of the Garden for their quarry.

She ran out of a section not that far away, "Cloud! He's through here!" She cried out. Cloud jumped into the air and swung his sword in a wide arch, sending a shockwave that knocked their opponents from their feet. Cloud, Cid and Yuffie took this as their chance and ran to where Aerith was waiting.

Jade quickly got to her feet and ran after them. Rin and Ellie followed suite and the trio started their attacks again down the small hallway.

Aerith flung the doors open and the group made their way through, Cloud Cid and Yuffie trying to block the girls attacks.

Cid heard the blonde girl call for backup from someone behind them and then a familiar voice rang out.

"Squad D fall back at once."

The girls stopped their attacks immediately and walked over to the people standing behind the group.

Yuffie turned and she and Aerith ran forward hugging a brunette in the crowd of people.

"Leon!"
