Balamb Garden

"Alright. It's time we head out."
Carbuncle still lay there wrapped around Cole's neck. Its eyes looking at the people around them wondering why they were there. It tightened its hold on him in a protective manner.
"It's okay Carbuncle," Cole whispered to the creature. "They are friends."
"So which way are we headed," Xu asked. "The intercom microphone for the intercom is in Cid's office, but the power control is in another part of the Garden."
"We have to climb down into the basement. The only place someone can cut the power is from down there, and it wouldn't be that hard for someone to hack into the intercom from there either."
Cole began to walk toward the stairs.
"It's better we walk instead of the elevator, just in case something bad happens on the way down."
 
evan looked at the elavator door and then back at cole
Evan: "hey the elavator is the fastest way to the basement, it is a shaft straight down to the botom so it would be easier to get to the basement via that way"
evan walked over to the elavator and forced the doors open, which revealed that the elavator was outside Cid's officea couple of levels above them. he then looked down towards the basement
Evan: "damit thats one big shaft, we could abseil down to the botome floor"
 
Enigma was running back towards the ballroom when he saw Evan and Cole examining the elevator shaft.
He chuckled briefly and left them to get on with whatever they were planning; hopefully it wasn't anything too wreckless.
Skidding to a halt, Enigma realised he had reached his destination. No sign of Luana though. It wasn't as if she didn't stand out either; what with that brilliant blue dress she was wearing. Even though he was there for an important reason, his mind kept drifting back to Becca.
"Damn her! I can't think straight!"

Frantically looking around the hall, Enigma was still on guard and swung round when he felt someone tug his arm. It was Headmaster Cid.
"What now? Sorry to be disrespectful, but can you please tell me what the hell is going on now?" Cid didn't even seem bothered by the tone in Enigma's voice.
"Enigma, I seem to think that this was no accident."
Cid was a master at stating the obvious. Poor man was going a touch senile. Enigma humoured him none the less:
"Really? Wow, I suppose you're right!"
Enigma's laugh had a noticeable touch of frustration in it. Specific information was needed, not this crap they were being fed.
"Ok here's how it is, Enigma. I believe that we're dealing with magic. Not neccessarily a group of people either; just one deranged person perhaps. I want you split into three parties. I don't care who's with who; just find this...thing!"
The first real sense of urgency Enigma had heard in Cid's voice for a long time. Maybe he was concerned his precious Balamb Garden was in danger perhaps.
"Well, Cole and Evan have gone already; taking jimmy and Arth with them. Becca has Al for back-up, so I'll go with Luana when I find her. Damon has to be here somewhere, we might need him too."
 
evan reached into the pocket of his Seed jacket and grabbed the ear piece he used in the mision earlier in the Wek and then loked at cole
Evan: "Cole you find a way to get into the Head master's room im guna go down to the power geerator to reset it and hopeful get some lights on in this place"
evan sumoned Diablo who appeared next to them
Diablo: "evan you sumoned me"
Evan: "i need your help garden is in trouble and me and you are heading down to the basement to restart the generator to get everyone some lights"
Diablo: "hop on"
Evan jumped onto diablo's back and they began to travel down the shaft
 
When Damon entered Cid's office he saw it completely deserted but outside of the windows at the rear of the room he could see some strange ships, these were not Galbadian and did not look like any form of ship he had ever seen or heard of. After a few minutes of trying to find familiarity he couldn't think of an explanation and reentered the elevator to report to Cid about the mysterious enemy.

On the way down the elevator stopped functioning so he took the shaft on the bottom and began to climb down, though dangerous and him being unarmed he had no choice but to proceed. When he reached the bottom he did not see anything and his fire spells would be useless in this oil filled place so he relied on his speed and stealth.
 
"Crazy kid. He acts too much in impulse. What if the elevator falls on him."
Just at that moment Cole caught sight of Damon on the other side of the elevator.
'What was he doing up there?'
Cole decided not to get his attention so he could figure things out. Just then he heard a snap from above. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his communicator and set it to Evan's channel.
"You better hurry up and get down there. The elevators going down any second now."
 
Evan herd coles mesage and loked upwards to se the elavator comming down towards him
Evan: "what the!! diablo hury up or were pancakes"
Diablo: "got it"
diablo folded his wings in and the two of them plummited down to the ground flor diablo cought evan and lept out of the elavator shaft
Evan: "that was close"
Diablo: "tell me about it, get your weapon out evan"
Evan: "can't it got broke before al this started hapening"
Diablo: "so thats why im here"
Evan: "yea and i kind borowed these from Zel earlier in the week and never returned them"
Evan sliped on a pair of black leather fighting gloves and prepare to make his way to the generator
 
Under all commotion, Al didn't have much to do. He quietly followed Becca.
Hoping that the rest would get to the bottom of this.

"hah, I didn't know Becca and enigma where this close" He thought to himself.
Among other things.

"Ah well. I at least got a beautiful girl to follow, not some old dude" He grinned under his thought.
 
Damon heared a strange metallic thud and looked up, the elevator was starting to unstick and fall, without thinking he let go of the ladder but grabbed hold again when he was near a shaft and entered just before the lift came crashing down. "That...was close" there was no time to dawdle though so he proceeded through the narrow shaft.

At the end of the shaft was a low fall to some matal ground and a few platforms leading to other sections of this underground area. Damon dropped down and walked around the area, he tripped on some loose panels and with the lack of light didn't help matters. Damon looked around for a while until he found a terminal with what looked like some kind of control panel so he looked for a way up there.
 
The wires that held the elevator snapped and it came rushing down past them. There was a loud crash as it hit the bottom. Cole stuck his head out and peered down. He Could hear Even and Diablos speaking to each other.
"Good they're okay."
He stuck his head out again to check for any other hazards. It was clear, and the ladder down was still intact.
"Okay everyone. I gues it is ssafe to head down this way now. You all go and head down to give Evan some back-up. I'll catch up with you in a little while. I need to go check out what happened to the elevator."
Cole jumped into the shaft and began to climb up.
 
Arthvader "Okay. While you climb up, I'll jump down."

As Arthvader was about to jump down the shaft, he accidentally slipped, causing him to in fact fall down the shaft instead.

'AAAAAAAAHHHHHHh. Why does this have to happen to me??'

As he was falling, Arthvader managed to grab the ladder.

'Whew, that was close. Well, here goes nothing.'

He then jumped off the ladder, hitting the walls as he headed downward to land safely. As he is near the bottom, he noticed Evan and Diablos.

Arthvader "Hey you guys. How are you guys doing?"
 
Diablo: "evan i did not drop you"
Evan: "you did"
Diablo: "no i didn't"
Evan: "did so"
evan then heard arthvader "Hey you guys. How are you guys doing?"
Evan: "not good diablo dropped me"
Diablo: "did not!"
evan looked down the tunnel they were stood in and saw a T-rexaur stood in the hall way
Evan: "diablo, use your dark matter attack but try not to collapse the tunnel"
Diablo: "got it"
diablo flew into the T-rexaur and rugby tackles him into a wall out of the tunnel, he then charges his small ball of dark mater in his hand and destroyes the T-rexaur<!-- google_ad_section_end --><!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
 
Jimmy felt more out of place every minute, from seeing Damon climb up and down on the elevator passage and seeing Evan going down to find a light switch...

He turned to Cole who seemed to be the one who actually had an idea of what was going on...

"Hmmm...Instructor Cole i don't get what they are doing, are they trying to get squashed by the elevator or something??? Aren't we supposed to be searching for someone!? A quick briefing would sure help."

Truth be told they just asked Jimmy to tag along, nobody explained to him what they were supposed to be doing, and if they wanted to turn the lights back on then they should call an electricist instead of trying to get killed inside an elevator.
 
Cole could hear Jimmy as he continued to climb.
"Jimmy right now we need to figure out who or what is causing these things in the Garden. My guess is that we are looking for who. We need you, because you are the only one with a working weapon right now. We need you as protection just in case there is something too dangerous."
Xu called up to him, " Then why are you going up by yourself while sending everyone else down?"
Cole paused for a moment before answering her.
"Well you know me Xu. Besides, you know the real trouble will be down at the basement. I just need to investigate what may have caused the elevator to fall."
Cole knew that he would meet trouble at the top, but he did not want to risk anyone. Climbing the shaft would make everyone an easy target for whatever was up there.
 
evan and diablo were walking throught the underground region of garden. Evan was being more cautiouse than usual due to his lack of weaponry
Diablo: "whats rong?"
Evan: "nothing, Why?"
Diablo: "wel normaly you would have ran of reclessly"
Evan: "wel i have decided to take a more relaxed approach"
Diablo: "you mean your scared coz you have no weapon?"
Evan: "something like that"
diablo laffed as he continued down the coridor
Evan: "well im glad you find my impending Death sentence funny"
Diablo: "you won't die, im scaryer than anything down her"
evan and diablo walked into a large chamber that had a Fully grown Wyvern asleep in it
Evan: "you sure you don't wana take back what you just said"
diablo smiled
Diablo: "this is guna be fun"
evan loked at diablo petrified
 
Enigma was itching to do something about this mess, but wanted to keep to his word and find Luana. She was no where to be seen and he knew that there was a limit on how long he could wait; thank god some of the guys were working on restoring the power.

"Maybe she's outside..." Enigma had no idea where to wait for her so decided to wait outside the ball room; outside in the courtyard. The sky was pitch black and the moon was in full view.
"What the hell?" The moon was still a faded red, evil and ominous; it created a horrible sinking in Enigma's gut.
He had the feeling that more was going on than they realised. They all needed to be ready for anything.
"I hope the guys are safe in the basement..."
He ran back into the ball room, screaming Luana's name, adding to the unrest already felt by everyone in the area.
"Luana! Where the hell are you?" Enigma bit his lip in frustration and anxiety; he had no choice but to leave soon and assist his fellow SeeD's. Something in his head told him they would need his help.

still petrified by the Sleping Wyvern he let out a rather loud Sneeze which woke the Wyvern up he reached for his headset and switched it to the global frequency
"all seed who can hear me this is Seed member Evan i am in sector 3b of the basement and am requesting al available personelle to join me as there is a fuly gropwn Wyvern down here and i just acidentally woke it up i repeat 3b"
evan let go of his com and looked at Diablo
Evan: "why did i realese all my GF's"
 
Jimmy saw Cole climbing up, he could not let him go alone it was not in his nature to leave someone to defend themselfes alone...

"WAIT I'M GOING WITH YOU!!!!"

He jumped to the shaft and started to climb behind Cole ready to protect him, even though he felt an enormous feeling of jealousy towards Cole, but he had to put his own personal judgement aside and follow the more experienced SeeD member, Xu might even be proud if he ended up saving Cole life...

From down the elevator noises could be heard, Jimmy wondered if Evan had also encountered something.
 
Cole could hear Evan's message in his ear piece.
"Well I guess this will have to wait."
Just then a bolt of lightnig shot in his direction from above. Just before it hit him it shot straight back up. Carbuncle had just reflected the magic away.
The lighting hit something above him, but he couldn't make out what it was. It let out a loud roar, and began to craw around to find a place to attack from.
"Get back there is some-"
Before he could finish his sentence the creature jump out at Cole and pinned him down on the floor where Xu stood. Carbuncle fell a few feet away. Cole quickly cast a fira spell. There was an explosion between the creature and himself. The creature flew into a near by wall. Now Cole was able to make out what it was.
"What the hell is a Grendel doing in the Garden?"
The beast began to recover from Cole's attack. This fight was not over.
He reached for his communicator and radioed down to Evan.
"Sorry but you'll have to count me out of that one for now. I just found the cause of the elevator collapse and let's just say we have our hands full."
