Chapter 21: Seifer reappears!

---------------

Hayner, Pence, and Olette were in the usual spot, trying to brainstorm about what to do about the strange things going on in the town, but they weren't able to think of anything.

"Geez... I can't believe there's nothing we can do about this..." groaned Hayner

"You know... the best option available to us right now, is to just let it happen" informed Pence

"Huh? What! We can't let it happen, the town might be destroyed if we do that!" shouted Hayner

"I think what Pence means, Hayner, is that we should let whatever is going to happen start, and once it starts, we'll stop it from doing anything else" explained Olette

"Oh. Now I see your point..." started Hayner "I guess you're right. We'll let it start, but once it starts, we won't let it do anything else"

"Right. For now, though, let us follow you around Hayner. That way, if anything starts to happen, we'll help you in any way we can" suggested Pence

"Yeah!" smiled Olette.

Hayner closed his eyes, smiled, and remarked

"Hmph. Alright..."

The group left the usual spot and was now in they back alley.

"I think we should investigate some things, though..." suggested Hayner

"Like what?" asked Pence

"Well, as you already know, most of the bad incidents that happened to me, occurred in the sandlot, so that's a good place to start, as any." informed Hayner

"Might as well..." remarked Olette

Hayner, Pence, and Olette entered the sandlot. It was a good call, as Rai and Fuu were in there.

"Huh? What are you guys doing here?" asked Olette.

Rai and Fuu now noticed Hayner, Pence, and Olette.

"Seifer said you guys would show up, y'know?" informed Rai

"Convenient" remarked Fuu

Seifer then showed up from the Market Street: Tram Common exit.

"Good, you losers are here" smirked Seifer and he continued "Now I can show you my new found powers. I've been training for awhile now, but now I'm back to finally defeat you" informed Seifer

"Yeah! And since they're three of you, me and Fuu will fight you too, y'know?" announced Rai

"Victory" boasted Fuu

"Right! You're all going down! declared Seifer

Seifer then took out his Struggle Sword and got in his fighting stance, but so did Rai and Fuu.

Rai took out a Struggle... Staff! It looked like two Struggle Swords put together. It had a long wooden handle that, on both ends, had two Struggle Sword tops on it. Rai bent his knees and put his right hand, with his weapon in it, behind him. He put his left hand out in front of him and scrunched his fingers together.

Fuu had this weird, wheel weapon. It probably should have been sharp all around the "wheel", but instead, it had Struggle Sword tops all around it. The center was wooden and was in a strange decoration that had some circle and triangle holes in it as well. It somewhat looked like a sun-themed weapon. She had her right elbow bent and her right arm in the air with her right hand holding the weapon. She had her left hand in front of her chest, to the side vertically, with her fingers scrunched together, and she had her left elbow somewhat bent.

Hayner, Pence, and Olette couldn't believe this, but they had no choice, so they got their Struggle weapons out as well and also got in their fighting stances.

Another three on three fight, but would it be easier or harder than the three on three fight with Zell, Cait, and Vivi? Let's just hope for the former and not the latter...

P.S.: Again! Ugh... --;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
