After a long, LONG wait, here's the new chapter of Life in Radiant Garden. Since Ven and his friends started their tenth grade year at the high school, what else is in store for them?

And thanks for those who read my other KH stories, Apprentice Years, Book of Beginnings and Specials. I've been busy with my last year in school and with those stories. So, once again, I own nothing and here's the next chapter.

The Rage of Coach Jihl Nabaat

Monday, September 7th, 5 p.m., Ven's house…

Due to boredom, Ven and Roxas shuffled their feet on the carpet with their socks on. Yazoo and Loz had come over as well, trying to study. Yazoo was the only one who did and was annoyed that the boys weren't trying to study.

After a few moments of shuffling his feet on the carpet, Ven poked Loz and shot him with a spark.

"Ow…What was that?" Loz said.

"That was static electricity, Loz. Ven and Roxas shuffling their feet caused the electrons to be absorbed and trapped. They just now need a place to escape," Yazoo explained.

Loz, getting an idea, began shuffling his feet everywhere. He noticed the sparks of electricity in between his fingers and got excited. He shuffled around faster, nearly bumping into lamps and other things in the room.

"Hey! Watch it!" Roxas yelled.

Loz kept laughing and absorbing static. Ven's face paled as he saw more and more electrical sparks coming from Loz's hands. After several moments of rapid shuffling, Loz found his target to poke: Ven.

"Zapity-zap-zap!" Loz cheered.

"Oh no! NO-NO-NO-NO!" Ven yelled, running.

He stopped at the end of the hall and saw that both Aqua and Eraqus's rooms were locked. Ven screamed in horror as Loz came closer in poking him and shooting him with several jolts of static electricity.

"OH NO!" Ven screamed.

Loz poked him in the face and a powerful wave of electricity shot through the house. Windows broke, the lamps were destroyed and the bedrooms doors were blasted open. After the explosion, Loz said to a poor, temporarily paralyzed Ven, "Tag! You're it!"

"LOZ JENOVA!" the voice of Eraqus reverberated throughout the house.

Loz took off running and Roxas came to check on him.

"Help…" Ven muttered.

"Okay…I guess the Jenova brothers aren't allowed over here anymore," Roxas told him.

The next morning, Radiant Garden High School, rugby field, 8 a.m.…

Larxene and the other cheerleaders stared at a massive cannon in the middle of the field. Coach Jihl had ordered it in for their next competition and she smiled at the tired teens. Larxene could only think of the worse as the coach's smile was that of a malevolent one.

"Ladies, this here is my secret weapon," Coach Jihl started.

"Uh…What is it?" a cheerleader asked.

"This, my dears, is a cannon. And…Congratulations, Larxene. You'll be doing the stunt for this year's competition," Coach Jihl said.

Larxene's face paled and she yelled, "But…But! I don't wanna die! Well, not until I become Radiant Garden's best female assassin or something!"

Coach Jihl scoffed and said, "We'll do a final test run to get your baby minds' at ease."

Two of the cheerleaders placed a test dummy into the cannon and, after they were clear, Coach Jihl pressed a button on the cannon. The cannon fired, destroying the dummy completely.

Larxene nearly cried, thinking that the Coach had become crazier than usual. One of the others nudged her and said, "I'll tell Professor O'Sullivan what's going on. He'll put a stop to this."

"I…I don't need…!" Larxene yelled, not wanting to get help from the nerds.

"Well, it's either that or die," another cheerleader told her.

Out of fear, Larxene agreed for her to see Professor Xehanort.

Dr. Yen Sid's office, 10 a.m.…

Professors Sazh and Xehanort sat in the principal's office, happy to see a new teacher. They secretly hoped that she wouldn't be Coach Jihl's new target as she was a new coach of the newly formed female lancer's guild. The brunette turned to the smiling duo and said, "Please stop that. Ya look creepy."

"Well, we're just happy to see fresh faces in our faculty," Professor Xehanort told her.

"And it'll probably give us some more leverage against the jocks. Coach Dilan will actually have some competition in that field," Professor Sazh added.

"What?" the woman asked.

"Coach Oerba Yun Fang, we have an odd culture here at this school that involves the athletes, or jocks, and the rest of the student body. The staff also follow that culture and I'm afraid that it will be hard to stop it anytime soon," Dr. Yen Sid explained.

Coach Fang nodded, understanding what he meant.

'But it sounds rather childish to me,' she thought.

The door to the office opened and Coach Jihl appeared. She was fuming and asked, "Did you cut my budget? You can't cut my budget! You have to get written consent from the Attorney General! It's in my contract, Yen Sid!"

"I did, but that's not why we asked you to come," Dr. Yen Sid told her.

Coach Jihl noticed Coach Fang and pointed at her, asking, "Who's this?"

"Ah. I'm Coach Oerba Yun Fang, the new coach of the female lancer's guild," Coach Fang said, trying to shake Coach Jihl's hand.

The woman snubbed her and said, "Did the budget go to her?"

"Half of it did, but that's not why you were called here," Dr. Yen Sid said.

Coach Jihl glared at Coach Fang and told her, "First of all, female lancers are like male nurses, a crime against Yahweh…Second…I'm sure that your Oerba-canine-dining-parents cheered for your as you launched yourself in the air, pretending to be a dragon. But you're in my house, Oerba Yun…No one comes into my house and steals from me."

"Lady…I really would suggest that you back away from me," Coach Fang said.

"Or what?" Coach Jihl asked.

Coach Fang looked as if she was ready to rip out Coach Jihl's throat and Professor Xehanort diffused the situation by saying, "Dr. Yen Sid called you in for your trying to shoot your 'Cheerios' out of a cannon."

Coach Jihl's face turned to Dr. Yen Sid and he asked, "What were you thinking? You can't shoot a person out of a cannon without their consent!"

"Hey! I need this! It's for the big competition!" Coach Jihl yelled.

"Yes, but if she were to die or get seriously injured, this school would be shut down by the many lawsuits Larxene's parents and the state will bring," Dr. Yen Sid told her.

"Hey! Cheerleading is a sport!" Coach Jihl retorted.

Coach Fang scoffed and said, "Says who?"

Coach Jihl glared at her again and Professor Sazh said, "All I know is that if something was to happen to her, you'll lose a 'Cheerio'."

Dr. Yen Sid shook his head and told Coach Jihl, "For the last time, you cannot fire a student out of a cannon without their consent and their parents'."

Coach Jihl seemed to have given up as she left the office in a calm manner. Dr. Yen Sid sighed and Professor Xehanort said, "Not yet…"

The four could only watch in horror as Coach Jihl started tearing up the front part of the office. She threw chairs, lamps, computer monitors and even tossed papers at the secretaries. As she did, the woman roared in anger.

"It's coming out of your paycheck! Every single munny!" Dr. Yen Sid bellowed.

Coach Jihl went outside of the office and began tossing students around like ragdolls. Professor Xehanort sighed and said, "That's a lawsuit…Yep. That's another lawsuit…And that's three more lawsuits."

Professor Vincent's class, noon…

Ven, Tidus and Garnet overheard what the students were saying about the odd happenings around the school. Apparently, Coach Jihl had thrown a temper tantrum and was tossing students around the school. She even attacked the jocks, scaring everyone.

Professor Vincent wrote on the blackboard about the Golden Age of the Garden and was about to ask a question when Lea rushed in.

"What's going on?" he asked him.

"Uh…C-Coach Jihl's gone crazy! She just threw a set of lockers at someone," Lea told him.

"A set of lockers?" Professor Vincent said, not believing it.

Crashing was heard and the class headed for the door's window. It was just as Lea and the other students said. Coach Jihl was tossing chairs, desk, lockers and students all over the halls.

"You know how I feel about hats, Link!" Coach Jihl yelled, grabbing the green cap of one of the foreign exchange students.

She tossed it at another student and yelled, "Get to class! Go! Until my budget is reinstated, get used to this kind of abuse, kids!"

Coach Jihl took a student's book and ripped it in half.

"I got nothing but time, people! Nothing but time!" she yelled and walked out of the hall.

Ven and the others looked at each other and Professor Vincent said, "Odd…Let's get back to the lecture. She'll calm down sooner or later."

"What if she doesn't?" Garnet asked.

Professor Vincent's face paled, more so than usual, and he said nothing.

'We're all gonna die!' Ven thought.

Coach Fang's new office 2 p.m.…

Coach Dilan came in to see the new lancing coach and saw that it was a woman. He was shocked and remembered what his lancers had told him. Apparently Coach Jihl was furious and was after everyone for her budget being ruined. And also because she wasn't allowed to use her brand new cannon for the cheerleading competition.

"Ah, you're Coach Dilan?" Coach Fang asked.

"Yes…I am. And you're Coach Oerba Yun Fang. I heard of you. You were one of the best female lancers during the 1998 Olympian Cup," Coach Dilan said, seemingly admiring her.

Coach Fang tried not to blush as she thought no one had remembered that. The sound of screams cut their conversation short and they saw Coach Jihl barge in. She grabbed a cooler, several lances and Coach Fang's desk, throwing them all around the room. The two lancing coaches ducked and Coach Fang yelled, "What are you doing?"

Coach Jihl calmed herself enough to say, "I'm sending a message. Coach Jihl Nabaat is done being nice."

"Since when have you ever been known to be 'nice', Jihl?" Coach Dilan asked.

"The woman that was there before Yen Sid cut my budget was the nice one. And I'm going to miss her. Watch your backs, lancers. I've got nothing but munny and time. Munny and time!" Coach Jihl told them and left the office.

Okay…Why hasn't she been fired yet? Review?
