Chapter 2: Problems in the Garden

Instructor Aki tapped his fingers on his desk, looking out at the class. Since Quistis had left, he had gotten all of her classes. He looked down at his tests.

`I got this new guy here, so I better not give these tests today. Maybe next Monday,' he thought to himself.

"Alright class," he announced, standing up, "SeeD Test Monday. Be prepared. Class dismissed."

As he finished the sentence, the bell rang almost as if it were punctuating his sentence. The class hurried out. When Irvine got out of the class, Seifer stopped him.

"Don' you dare mess with me or else it won't be pretty," stated Seifer, and then walked away with Fujin and Raijin tagging closely behind.

Irvine walked quietly down to the dorms. He pressed the "1" on the elevator buttons and waited for it to stop. When it did, the doors opened and he walked out. He was hoping to not run into any trouble while he headed to the dorms. Problem was, trouble had already started.

~~

Laguna looked out at the blue sky. He heard Ellone walk in. She sat down in one of the chairs and waited for her uncle to speak.

"Ellone," said Laguna, not turning around.

"Yes?" asked Ellone, looking over at him.

"I want to go with you, to Balamb. Something tells me that there is something wrong over there," he explained, finally turning around.

"Ok, I understand. Should we get going?" she asked.

"Hold on, let me change here," he said and walked over into his bedroom.

Ellone waited patiently. She heard movement in the other room, but didn't worry. She just figured that it was Laguna changing.

The door opened to the main hallway. She looked over at saw Kiros and Ward. They were in their fighting outfits and Kiros held his Katal tightly.

Laguna walked in. Ellone looked back at him and saw that he had his Machine Gun with him. He was also in his fighting outfit that he hadn't worn for 17 years.

`What's going on here? Do I need that much protection?' Ellone asked herself.

~~

Squall looked at the sky, then over at the Garden. He had just realized that lunch was nearing and they had nothing to eat, if you don't count the hot dogs that Zell had been eating earlier.

"Let's go back," said Squall and they headed back.

Zell went over to the table and saw what Selphie had brought him. He smiled then grabbed what was left of the hot dogs, which was about half of a hot dog.

He gulped down the hot dog then ran to catch up.

"Thanks Selphie," he said.

She thought for a bit, thinking of what he would be thanking her for then realized, "Oh, your welcome Zell."

They continued the walk back to the Garden and entered. They went through the front gate one at a time. After they had finished building the new orphanage they would add some more gates. On a daily basis now they were receiving students from Trabia and sometimes-even Galbadia.

As the group, which was Squall, Selphie, Zell, and Rinoa, entered they saw something very bad happening right in front of the directory. Squall noted that one of the people was Seifer.

~~

Cid sat at his desk reviewing Quistis' Instructor entry. When he had just barely gotten through the first page, seeing as it was about 10 pages long, Xu came barging into his office.

"Headmaster. Go to the directory now!" exclaimed Xu.

He frowned but immediately got up and rushed out. He hammered in the 1 on the elevator. When it stopped he walked out only to bump into Irvine. Irvine moved, but barely.

Cid looked out. A fight was happening. Squall, Rinoa, Selphie, and Zell were all back at the entrance.

~~

Laguna, Ward, Kiros, and Ellone all got onto the Ragnarok. Laguna got at the controls and flew it as fast as he could over to Balamb.

They landed just outside the Garden. Edea was walking up the path and soon joined them. They walked into the Garden having to enter the same way as Squall, Selphie, Zell, and Rinoa.

When they finally got into the Garden. Laguna looked up and saw his son in front of him. They walked up to where Squall was standing.

Squall looked over at them, then back at Seifer. He couldn't make out whom the other person was. That's when he saw Seifer draw Hyperion. He reached for his own gunblade and slowly started to take it out.

Laguna saw his son grabbing his gunblade but he didn't reach for his Machine Gun. Too risky.

When Squall had his gunblade all the way out, Seifer has his out as well. Seifer looked over and saw Squall walking towards him, gunblade out. He smirked at the sight then shouldered Hyperion.

"What, do you want to fight me or something?" asked Seifer.

"No," calmly said Squall.

Cid tried to go towards the two, but Irvine stopped him. `This had to be settled between them, not us,' Cid thought.

Laguna watched Squall advance on Seifer, gunblade out. Ellone was right behind him watching. Kiros and Ward were also doing the same thing. Along with almost all the students at the Garden.
