Chapter 2:

"Light you are right, there needs to be a leader figure, that is why I need you to hold on to this" he said as he got closer to her and placed the pin on the collar of her military coat. Finally getting the pin to stay in place he moved his hand on the Lieutenant's shoulder.

"I can't … " She had no idea what else to say.

"Claire Farron this people need guidance, you are their leader. They look up to you, they want to be like you. They need you" The commander said in a more fatherly tone looking at her with caring eyes. He thought of her as her daughter, ever since she joined GC before the war, he has always look out for her. It was only inevitable when she followed him into the rebel group, most of the Guardian Corpse in his command did. He still remembered her the very first day she joined.

"Private Farron sir!" A young girl that couldn't be more than fifteen years old stood in front of him with a well placed salute on her forehead. Adin was surprised to see such drive for a young girl that somehow managed to enlist to the Guardian Corpse where the age limit was eighteen.

"Private Farron, will you tell me how old you are?" He knew well enough the answer she was going to give since he read the files for all the recruits that enlisted. He looked at her in the eye seeking for something he still was not sure what it was, but somehow in a couple of minutes she was able to capture his attention completely.

"Eighteen sir!" She managed to say without flinching even a little and still holding the salute.

Adin chuckled softly, he got close to her and whispered in a low tone "Really, how old are you?" With a soft smile he stared at those azure blue eyes that held so much fire in them.

"Um , eighteen sir?" she managed to twich a little, she wasn't expecting the Sergeant to focus on her, she started to get worried that she was going to be found out and started to get nervous. She did not want to go back to Serah empty handed, Lightning had made a promise to her and she was not going to give up.

"Really? try again" Sergeant Adin was still in front of her, staring at her. He took notice on how the girl was starting to sweat a bit. He smiled slightly.

"Seventeen?" She said with more doubt than before and she was starting to feel the pressure.

Adin just kept looking at her straight in the eyes, not in a threatening way but he was still towering her with his stature.

Lightning sighed she could not hold his gaze anymore defeated she whispered "Fifteen sir" lowering her gaze to ground.

Adin placed a hand on her shoulder and squeezed gently "See that wasn't so hard was it?" he whispered holding small smile that tugged his lips. He then walked back a few steps and with a deep strong voice he addressed the recruits "Alright men, from now on you all part of a team, my team. I want each of you to go to the barracks and change to your training gear. I know that we just got here but I want to get to know each of you. Be at the training grounds by 1800." With this he went back to his office.

Lightning released a breath that she did not noticed she was holding. She realized what had just happened, she was found out but she was going to be able to stay. Unconsciously she smiled knowing that from now on she is going to have to give more than one hundred percent into everything she did. We are going to make it Serah, this I promise.

Lightning got her training gear on, wearing a gray shirt with the GC logo on the front and black sweats she headed to the training grounds. When she got the there Light was by herself and started to warm up. She didn't notice that Lieutenant Adin arrived and was looking at her from the door.

"Well Farron is good to see that you're the first one to get here, I had a feeling you would." He was smiling and walked towards her.

Light was startled, a small blush peaking on her pale cheeks, "Sergeant !" She straightened and managed an awkward salute. "I didn't have much to, so I decided to come here and warm up for until people showed up."

"Attack me" Adin commanded looking at her expectantly.

"Excuse me? Sir?" She was baffled by his words. She had been training since she was young, her dad trained her. Mr Farron had been a Lieutenant in GC, he trained Lightning in basic close quarter combat, barely started on weapons when the tragic accident happened.

Commander Jhil was pacing back and forth in the Console Room, she had been waiting for news about the Sireen. Jhil knew that they were close on their tails, she had to make sure they did not get away this time.

"Commander, we have their coordinates. They are heading west from Vexar we will reach them in minutes Sir." A young tall man announced to the commander who was now looking at the map on her desk.

"Thank you Losett" Jhil started to write down and draw lines on the map she had infront of her. "I want people ready to man the guns, also be ready to jump in case they notice us. Send a message to Eden." She straightened up crossing her hands at her lower back looking through the glass window that was in the room. She was waiting to get close to Sireen soon enough.

"Sir T minus five for contact. They are still on course due west. Orders Sir?" Losett informed Jhil. He heard a beeping sound coming from the radar he was looking at, he studied it for a brief time before speaking again "Sir, radar is showing an escape pod being launched, it was directed towards us." He said with a confused look on his face.

"It is just a bait, play no attention it, charge up the cannons and be ready to fire when the marker goes off. It seems that they cannot use their jump system, otherwise they would have jump by now." with a serious look she crossed her arms and stared at the large window that was in front of her. This time I'm not going empty handed, I'll finish that scum once and for all.

"Sir, more pods are being launched, Sireen still on the same course" He looked at her waiting for new orders but nothing came "Sir? umm should we shoot them out?" Losett asked concern clear in his voice.

"No those pods are empty, just look at the directions they are being launched. They are everywhere, they want to buy time to be able to jump. Only shoot when when we get in range for the Sireen. Do not let them jump." Jhil was waiting for that moment, the moment where she would finally finish her task and be able to go back home and claim back her position.
