Brandish return to his ragnarok-what he called home for this last 3 years. 1 year after become a SeeD at the age of 16, he work hard to compete with the other SeeD candicate to win a ragnarok. There's two type of ragnarok, first the Esthar made, and the other one is Ballamb made. First thing Squall did when he return to Ballamb Garden is creating new system for SeeD because their job against the sorceress was done. SeeD become a full military force organization-back to the old days-now with ranks. Quistis design all the new system and to help the job done, Garden decide to reproduce their own ragnaroks.
Considering the high cost for making a ragnarok, General Leonheart decide to limit the production. Currently only 3 ragnarok belongs to the garden.
Here's the requirement for the leader to own Garden's Ragnarok :
1. Must be an Elite SeeD (SeeD rank A above)
2. Have driving license type C
3. Have ID card
4. Minimum rank is Captain
When a SeeD complete the requirements, they will be selected by the top officers of Garden. If 3 people killed in action under the captain's command, their license to own ragnarok will be dismiss. Brandish already lost 2 personels killed in action, if he lost once more, he must give up his ragnarok.
It's been 2 weeks after he attend the burrial of Daniel Horrus, his last crew who died when they driving Ruby Dragons away from Trabia, to return to their right habitat. Daniel got burned badly after fail to escape Ruby Dragon's fire breath. Couple months ago, their partner, Marius Grant also killed in action when Brandish lead his team to free hostages in Eshtar's terrorism act.
"Weapon, huh? Interesting." The young man enter his cabin and take some gloves. On a sandbag in front of his cabin, he swing some punches.
His phone rings. "Yea?"
"Bran, are you in Winhill now?"
He notice that familiar voice. "Yes, mother."
"How dare you not telling me when you going home." What she meant by 'home' must be the Ballamb Garden.
"Oh, no, mother, I didn't meant that." When Brandish see it's still 2pm, he got an idea. "Mom, you like red catfish?"
"Sure I do. But I'm not interested to have dinner with Mr Almasy."
"Oh ... okay." The Son got disappointed right before he told his mother about his idea.
"Son, can you please take me to Ballamb?"
"Sure, mom. I'll pick you."
After hung the phone, Brandish take his jacket and lift his ragnarok. He pilot to Ballamb Garden which is now have extra upgrade in parking lot. After turning off the machine and left the ragnarok, he walk his way to where his mother is now. After Dr Kadowaki retire 8 years ago, Quistis Treepe succeed her job in infirmary.
On his way there, Brandish walk pass some cadets of Ballamb Garden. He notice how fast time goes by. It seems like just yesterday he training hard as a cadet of SeeD, now there are new faces that he never seen before remind him how he used to be. When Brandish walks, he unintentionally attract attentions especially from the girls. Although he never pay attention to his hair style and just decide to have that regular caesar cut, but everyone agree that he's a handsome guy with symetrical face and symphatic looks. He's like young Seifer Almasy with kind eyes and cool behavior. Even as a child, he didn't cry a lot and never have many wishes. Quistis was very upset when she found out that she was pregnant, and Seifer also suggesting for abortion. But after she decided to let the child lived, she realize that it was the best decision in her life.
When the infirmary door slide open, the young man enter the room. He was surprised for not seeing anyone else in the room except a young lady with white doctor suit. She wear short black skirt and have a nice ass. Her hair is black, so Brandish decide that this lady is not his mother.
"Uhh, excuse me?" he calls.
The lady look backwards. She wears thin eyeglasses, with minimum make up on her face. She's a beautiful lady. With tender looks yet smart.
"Yes? Are you sick?" she asks.
"I thought Quistis Treepe works here?"
"She's going to have several days off. I'm her student in charge."
"Student? You still a cadet?"
The lady smiled, "no, I'm not a SeeD. Here in Ballamb Garden, we have new division for medic. Now medical student is apart from SeeD. I'm still in studying process and if I doing well enough, I might join more exciting job."
"Like ragnarok team?" Brandish enters the room and sit in front of the medical student.
"Yes!" the lady excited. "I really want to live in ragnarok and fly into the sky."
"But you already in the sky when you live in Ballamb Garden."
"Oh yes, you right. But, I mean, in Garden I don't really fly. It move kindda slow and I can't roaming free like ragnarok team."
"Good luck then, I'm sure the ragnarok team can't wait to have a medic crew."
"Thank you, Sir." the lady smiled, she looks so cute when she smile. "By the way, if you looking for Dr Treepe, she's out for lunch."
"That's weird, it's already three pm. Too late for lunch."
"Her fiancee pick her up, so I guess it's more than lunch."
Brandish go silent in a sudden.
"Are you ..." the lady asks carefully, "... okay?"
"Actually, I kindda feel unwell." Brandish give an ill look.
"What happen? Let me check you. Unbutton your shirt please."
Brandish lay down relax on an examination bed and unbutton his shirt. The young doctor using her stetoscope and begin her examination.
"Oh my God ... your heart beat so fast. No wonder you feel unwell."
"Yea, it's been like this since I enter this room." Brandish stare into the depth on the medical student's garnet eyes, trying to flirt. A nerd medical personalia with pretty face! He always dream to rock this kind of babe for so long.
"I wonder why ... you don't seem like finish doing sport too."
So when Dr Treepe return to the infirmary, she's shocked to see how close her son with her student. "What's going on here? Brandish, Demi, what are you doing?"
"Hi, mom, I kindda feeling unwell now." Brandish answered calmly, expecting his mother's anger.
"Doctor, this mister feel sick so I doing some check. When I check, his heart beat very fast."
Quistis put her hands on her hips, "Demi, he's not sick. He tried to seduce you."
"Mom! Please!" now the captain of 3rd ragnarok team awaken from the examination bed in panic.
"W-what? But I ..."
"It's alright, Demi. I know you don't meant it at all. It's just my son sometimes needs more discipline." Quistis pull her son's ear when taking their leave.
"Mom, come on! I'm twenty!" he has rights to date whatever girl he likes.
"And I told you to not hit on my students."
"But she likes me too."
"Dream on, son ..."
They walk to the parking lot where he park his ragnarok and quickly set off to Ballamb town. His mother used to pilot ragnarok, because she missed the old times, she sit on the pilot seat and drive her way to Ballamb.
"Ahh ... I really missed the old times. It was very fun, I was younger than you when we defeated Ultimecia."
"That's cool, mom."
"So, how it goes? General Leonheart already appoint new crews for you?"
"Nah ... probably after Danny and Marius's death, he will be very careful in appointing SeeD in my team. You know, my team always doing life-risking tasks. I mean, if you check on Claude's record, he only doing some research in old mines if not collecting DNA from new monsters. And Charlie is helping science team in research facility. My team facing dangers more often and we have the fewest amount of crews."
"But son, Claude also facing danger when he collecting DNA of the monsters. Especially when he's in Island Closer to Heaven or Hell."
"Yeah, you got a point, mom."
"But you can always ask the general to recruit the team on your own."
"I wish I can recruit someone who not belong in SeeD."
"You know that's impossible, son. Ragnarok is Garden's property."
"Yeah. Too bad." Brandish always wanted to bring his father on his journey. Old Seifer waste his time reading lots of books while fishing and acquainted many people when he was younger.
Not long after, they see Ballamb in a distant. In couple days, there will be an engagement party between Dr Quistis Treepe and Major James Ingram. A son wish nothing more than his father and mother reunited.
