Chronicles of Strife: War

Chapter 1

Enix City, it is the largest, greatest, most advanced city in the world of Gaia. Its peaceful suburban homes that stretch miles over and around the tall 50 ft. buildings in downtown, it’s a modern utopia. Its military power has been unrivaled for the past 20 years. Hard to imagine anyone would want to destroy such a place…

Last Night…

A small campsite just outside the city can be found, its inhabitants sleeping soundly. Suddenly, their dreams have been changed into a nightmare by an explosion from one of the houses. The moonlit night lights the sky, and its beauty is disturbed by the screams of men and women. Their cries of agony fill the air as soldiers in blue open fire through them mercilessly, covering the site in blood and fire.

“Huf, huf, huf…”A survivor breaths heavily as he runs through the woods.

Survivor: Base! This is Bravo leader (he yells to his radio) Bravo leader to base! My team and the site have been slaughtered! We have to plan a counter, the enemy’s more dangerous than we thought, it’s the De-UURRGH!!!

The survivor cries in pain, he feels a sharp blade, pierce through his spine all the way to the front of his abdomen.

Seconds later, a red silhouette looms over the dead body; the moonlight reveals it to be a beautiful woman in black leather armor, and long red cape, her hair is fiery red.

Woman in red: Pitiful man. (She says with disdain)

Male’s Voice: Have you disposed of the survivor?

A deep powerful voice appears behind the woman. He towers over her by a couple of feet, his hair is cerulean blue, copper colored skin, and wears a thick muscular armor.

Woman in Red: Of course, but it seems he was able to contact his superiors.

Blue Giant: It doesn’t Matter, it is impossible to stop us now. We will have our revenge against that city and all its inhabitants.

The giant left after his speech, and the woman in red followed after taking her crescent blade weapon from the body.

Present Day…

Fantasy High, the leading private school in Enix City for Senior High, rings its bell to signal the start of class. As the students begin to enter the gates, one of these students stood out among the others. A tall brunette, he wore a white undershirt, jacket and pants colored black and blue, standing 5’8” and very handsome. As he walked towards the building, a raven-haired girl called out, she was also wearing a school uniform, but it’s colored red and black.

Girl: Hiya Squall!

Squall: Hey Rinoa, (comes over to her and gives a peck on her lips) what’s up?

Rinoa: Nothing (she muses), just kinda nervous.

Squall: Why?

Rinoa: Coz it’s the first day of class (smiling).

Squall: You’ve been here for two years; you’re a junior now, why should you be nervous?

Rinoa: Anyone would be nervous on the first day of class. It’s a New Year, new class, and new lessons. You’re different, you’re a genius, and you don’t care much, which makes you a little weird.

Squall: …… [I think you’ve got that weird part the other way around].

Male’s Voice: Yo! Squall, Rinoa!

The couple turned around to see a blonde teenager, his hair styled very spiky. He is a little shorter than Squall, wore a red and black uniform. But his most distinguishing feature is his tattoo on his cheek which resembles a lightning bolt.

Rinoa: Hey Zell, you’re almost late…again.

Zell: Cut me some slack, it’s the first day of cla…

Before he finished, a motorcycle breezed by, nearly hitting them.

Zell: Hey! Watch where your @#$% going!

Rinoa: Some people are just mean!

While they continued bad mouthing the biker, Squall remained silent, observing.

Squall: [He was wearing a senior uniform, couldn’t identify him, too bad he was wearing a helmet. And the bike doesn’t seem familiar, might be a Turk].

The trio decided to forget their ordeal and continued on inside, there, Squall separated from the others.

Rinoa: See ya on lunch (waving).

Waving back, Squall enters his class, to have a taller blonde blocking his way.

Tall Blonde: Hey Squall, heard you nearly got run-over (smirking).

Squall: Not now Seifer, it’s only the first day of class. We have a whole year to tear at each other’s throats (scowling at him).

From behind Seifer, two more people appeared. A taller, dark, muscular male, his hair is tied in dreadlocks, and a pretty female with silverfish blue hair that covers one of her eyes.

Squall: Looks like the three students are all here.

Braided Male: Squall, shut up, ya know?

Blue-haired girl: RAGE!

Seifer: (raised his hand to stop them) Rai, Fuu. Let him enjoy the rest of the day, as you said (looking at Squall), we’ve got a whole year. Let’s Go.

As they left, a beautiful raven-haired woman with a shapely figure entered.

Raven-haired Woman: Good morning class, and sit down.

Squall quickly sat in his sit, including the whole class.

Class: Good morning Mrs. Lulu.

Lulu: Welcome to the first day of your senior year, everyone excited?

Most of the class hollered, while others remained silent.

Lulu: Okay, before we start homeroom, let me introduce a new student. He’s just arrived from Ivalice a month ago, and he wants to finish his education here.

From the word “new student,” the whole class started murmuring.

Male’s voice: Squall… (he whispered).

Squall immediately recognized it. He turned around to another brunette, though taller than him, his hair is tied in a ponytail, and has a fair complexion.

Squall: What is it Irvine?

Irvine: Have you heard about a new student?

Squall: No, but it doesn’t matter, does it?

Irvine: (rolls his eyes) That’s just like you, but I hop it’s a hot chick.

Squall: What about Selphie? I doubt she’s let you off the hook after what happened last year.

Irvine’s face went place and ill. He had a brief flashback of Selphie choking him and beating his face with a nunchaku, because he was flirting with a girl from her class. After remembering a bad moment, Irvine sat on his seat and stayed quiet.

Lulu: Alright everybody, be quiet! (silence loomed over the class) Come here, dear (she called to the new student).

The moment the door opened, the girls gasped. They have seen the most beautiful man a man could be. The student had blonde spiky hair. Everyone thought the same thing…

Class: [His hair looks like a chocobo’s].

His eyes were a deep blue, a stern look that radiated strength. The girls started peeling off his clothes with their eyes, imagining a lean muscular figure underneath that senior uniform.

Male 1: Man, this I bad.

Male 2: I know. It’s like we’re back in 1st year again.

Male 1: Well remember, our class has a lot of pretty boys. There’s silent Squall, playboy Irvine, bad boy Seifer, and blitzball genius Tidus.

Male 2: Let’s not forget pretty boy Shinra, and the Turks.

Male 1: This is gonna be depressing.

Male 2: (Nods).

Before introducing himself, the spiky-haired blonde saw the smiles and glittering of the female half, while the male half expressed a scowl of murderous intent.

Spiky-haired Blonde: [Oh boy]. Uh ... My name is Cloud Strife. I’m 18 years old, and I hope to learn from here.

Broken out of their trances, the girls realized something, and one girl asked him.

Girl 1: Wait a minute, you’re 18 years old?

Cloud: Yeah. I quit school for a year; I had to… help my family.

The girls started whispering to each other.

Girl 1: He’s a year older!

Girl 2: What’s wrong with that? I like older guys.

Girl 1: I didn’t say there was anything wrong. I like older guys too; besides, you’re already in a relationship.

Girl 3: No way, he’s mine.

Lulu: Class, that enough! Now that you’ve been introduced to the new student, I want one of you to volunteer to show Cloud around school for at least a week.

A brunette-haired girl raised her hand.

Brunette-haired girl: Oh! I’ll give him a tour.

Male’s Voice: Yuna!

The girl turned to him, the boy’s face looked a little crushed. His dirty blonde hair and tanned skin showed that he was as handsome.

Yuna: Sorry, Tidus, but it’s just a tour. Besides, I’ll introduce him to my cousin, she’s been looking for a nice guy.

Another girl: No way, I’m taking him around school.

The argument continued as another joined in, and another, and another. That was all that Lulu could take.

Lulu: CLASS!!! You will behave or I swear to the gods, I will… (she held herself from exploding, and with that, it was finished).

At that moment, the bell rang, homeroom has finished.

Lulu: Alright, just so this won’t happen again, I’ll pick who goes with Cloud. Since none of the boys don’t want to, and most of the girls obviously want to, I pick Paine.

Paine: What! Why? I don’t want to.

Lulu: And that’ why I chose you. Now, go.

While the men breathed a sigh of relief, the women glared at Paine. She returned the favor with an even scarier death glare.

Cloud walked up to Paine and held out his hand. He noticed her styled silver hair, and red eyes.

Cloud: I guess I’ll be following you.

Paine got up from her seat and walked past Cloud. The blue-eyed blonde scratched the back of his head.

Cloud: [Well this is a great way to start the school year…]

He followed right behind the girl to class.
