Okay now for fight #2 of When World's Collide by Animelover100

Chapter 4: Ehrgeiz VS. Premium Heart

"Zell, slow down!" Quistis half demanded

"Yeah Zell you need to chill." Selphie began, "Remember what Squall said. There is no apparent danger to Balamb and look. Balamb is safe isn't?"

"Zell, you need to use your head for once!" Quistis said, "Rash actions may put innocent blood on your hands!"

Zell, however, didn't hear them at all. He was determined to find the culprit and stop them, no matter what the cost.

Meanwhile…

"Good morning Tifa. Did you sleep well?" Cloud asked as Tifa got up.

"Yes I did" Tifa replied

"Then let's go."

"Okay"

Cloud and Tifa left the hotel only to be confronted by a teenaged boy with a tattoo on his face and metal-coated gloves.

"You! Who are you 2?" He demanded

"I'm Cloud" Cloud replied

"I'm Tifa" Tifa replied

"Are you the ones that killed that T-Rexaur in the forest just outside this town!" The teen demanded

"Yes, however…" Cloud began

"What is it you want anyway?"

"Why don't you at least tell us your name and then we'll explain ourselves to you." Cloud said

"My name is Zell and I just happen to live in this town!" Zell explained

"Well that explains a lot!" Tifa replied

"Now as part of the deal we will explain ourselves. We merely happened to come across this area when that dinosaur attacked us. We then defended ourselves from it, that's all. As for what we want, we just want to go home." Cloud explained

"You expect me to believe such a likely story?" Zell retorted

'He doesn't believe us. What do we do? We shouldn't fight him. Damn.' Cloud thought

"Why don't we settle this in a fight then?" Zell suggested

"No because there is no reason to." Cloud explained

"You scared or something?" Zell retorted

"No. Just that we don't want to be made to look like something we're not." Tifa explained

"Then why don't you show me you can fight with honor and respect? I challenge you 2!"

"Both of us? That's a little bit unfair isn't it? How about I take you on then?" Cloud suggested

"Wait Cloud. I wish to face him. With the way you took down that T-Rexaur or whatever it was, Zell here might be at an extremely unfair disadvantage." Tifa put in

"Fine, but nothing dangerous. No summons Tifa." Cloud said

"Alright, Cloud." Tifa replied as she removed her red matieria

"Let's go! Bring it on!" Zell exclaimed 'Hah! Not thinking before acting? I'm not dumb enough to put innocent blood on my hands!'

The fight began. Both sides put up an incredible fight. Very punch and kick was enough to knock almost anyone out yet both sides refused to give in or give up. Both fighters exchanged blow after blow until Zell's friends Selphie and Quistis showed up.

"Zell! What are you doing!" Quistis demanded

"Hey, Tifa, can you give me 5 minutes since this is just a friendly challenge?" Zell asked his opponent

"Sure, no problem." Tifa replied

"Look this is just a friendly challenge to see if we can trust them and so far every was going great. At least, until you 2 interrupted!" Zell angrily explained

"You should have said that was your plan from the beginning!" Selphie exclaimed

"Oh? You actually thought I would be dumb enough to put innocent blood on my hands?" Zell asked

Just then Squall, Rinoa and Irvine showed up.

"We'll call this one a draw for now Zell." Tifa said

"Yeah fine. I learned all I need to know." Zell replied "Squall, I have the report for you! These 2 people are the ones who killed the T-Rexaur but after conducting a friendly challenge, I have concluded that they are not intending to harm Balamb."

"Looks like we over reacted a little bit." Irvine said

"Squall. We should talk to Headmaster Cid about letting Cloud and Tifa stay in Balamb Garden until we can get them back home." Zell suggested

"Fine. I'll go talk to the Headmaster." Squall sighed

Squall went ahead to Headmaster Cid's office. Once there he gave his report.

"That concludes my report, sir." Squall finished

"Well, it seems Zell should be cut a little bit more slack." Cid began, "As for Cloud and Tifa, I think letting them stay in the garden is a good idea. Squall, I want you to find students that they can stay with until we find out where they came from and how to get them back there. Also, I want you to go over the rules of the Garden and to give them a tour. Your tours usually make people like being here."

"Yes, sir." Squall said saluting

Squall then approached his friends.

"So, what did he say?" Rinoa asked

"Cloud and Tifa are allowed to enter Garden on 1 condition." Squall replied

"Which is?" Cloud asked

"That you obey the rules which I will explain to you as we head for Garden." Squall answered

"Agreed." Cloud replied

"I'll also give you a tour of the Garden." Squall said

"See ya, Squall!" Zell said as the others went about their business

After the tour was done Squall decided that he better see his friends about accommodations for Cloud and Tifa.

"Now you 2 can go ahead and explore Garden for yourselves while I find students willing to let you stay with them. The only thing is that each student can only have 1 roommate so you will not to together at night unless you train together, since the training center is the only area of garden open at night. This that okay?"

'Yuffie wouldn't like the sound of that and quite frankly, I don't fucking like it either but I better not say that.' Cloud thought then said "Alright, fine."

"Catch you later Squall!" Tifa said "Come on Cloud let's go explore Garden!"

"Tifa, are you alright?" Cloud asked

"Yeah why?"

"You're scaring me now."

"Why?"

"You sound like Yuffie with a hint of Aeris."

"Sorry, I guess this is just the way I get when I like a place and don't have to fight there."

"Yes things have been a little crazy lately."

Later that day Cloud and Tifa found out whom they would be staying with. Cloud would be bunking with Rinoa and Tifa with Squall. There was one reason Cloud and Squall hated this turn out. Temptation. Squall couldn't get over how similar Tifa and Rinoa were. Cloud was thinking the same thing.

"Cloud, I want you know I will resist any and all temptation that befalls upon me, but I cannot guarantee anything." Squall told his new friend

"It's okay, just be upfront about with me about it for I will do the same." Cloud said as he turned towards the dorms.

"Thanks Cloud. Good luck in resisting Rinoa, you'll need it."

"Funny, I was about to say the same thing."

"Good night man."

"Good night Squall and thanks for everything."

Little did either of them know that they would both need all the luck in the world to avoid what was in store for them. Tifa and Rinoa had met earlier that day and had come up with a little joke to play on Cloud and Squall.

So, is it getting good yet you think? Reviews please!

BTW: Lemon next chapter!
