Balamb Garden

"Arth should be down there at any moment. He followed after the elevator dropped. Jimmy still up here with me and Xu. We'll head down as soon as we have our situation under control."
Cole stood ready for the grendel to attack. His only problems now were that Jimmy was still up in the shaft, Carbuncle was unconcious, and Xu had not been in a fight for years. His only hope was that Jimmy got down soon. As powerful as his magic was, it was not having much effect on the beast before him. All it did was give him time.
"I could use a little help here Kid!"
 
Jimmy saw the Grendel and Cole land on the floor, he was surprised Cole did not faint from such a crash he jumped down to help his teammate battle the Grendel.

"A grendel...i rarely encounter one in the Training Grounds, don't worry i can beat it!"

He quickly cast haste on himself and prepared to attack the Grendel head on, but the dragon beast used his deadly Dragon Breath, Jimmy jumped a few feet high in order to avoid the attack. Still on the air he prepared to lauch one of his ultimate attacks at the Grendel.

"Meteor Barret!!!"

A yellow sphere of energy formed between both of Jimmy hands he then lauched the energy ball against the Grendel blowing it up...

He then aproached Cole and asked him if he was ok.

"We should keep going at least now we know what awaits us up there!"
 
Cole gave Jimmy a small pat on his back.
"Yeah I'm okay. You did a good job there kid."
He looked around the room inspecting the mess left behind from the now dead Grendel.
"I'll be sure not to tell the castodian that you made this mess," He joked. "And now that we are set, we head down to help Evan. It seems he ran into a little problem with a whyvern."
Cole walked over to where Carbuncle lay on the ground.
"Thank you friend, you may go and rest now."
The little creature looked up at him and then disapeared into another one of it's holes.
Xu ran up to him and grabbed him by the collar.
"We have to hurry and help Evan," she said.
"Alright."
Cole walked back over to the elevator shaft and jumped to the ladder. he let his grip loose and slid down to the bottom where he waited for Jimmy and Xu to join him.
 
The journey from the ball room to the dorm had wasted the young student. Beccalyn rubbed her eyes, fighting off the fatigue until she dragged herself to the bed. She surmised that her condition was worse than she had estimated, considering how mercilessly exhausted she was now.

This was unlike her, and she knew it. At first she was quick to blame the side effects of her Ninety-Nine-Knights. Those familiars of hers demanded a hefty price, so much as to drain her stamina quite easily, even when laid dormant. Even so, this sort of drowsiness was beyond that she would experience from them. While she had grown accustomed to having her strength drained at a regular basis, Beccalyn knew her body well. Something was wrong.

If she hadn't known any better, Beccalyn would conclude that something else was leeching off her.

She discarded the thought.

She slid into her covers, and allowed the cool mattress to subside her long legs. As before, she was dressed in just a t-shirt and underwear, for the sake of comfort.

Nothing could prepare her for what would happen next.
 
As Al followed Becca, from the ball room. He didn't actually see much difference, perhaps some 'sluggishness' but that could be from the ordeal that had just taken place.

He followed her, towards the Dorms. She entered The door, marked 186.
"Hm, so she went to bed?" Al thought to himself.
This was not a good reason to waste Al's abilities. A mere escort to her dorm. "Hmm. Enigma could not know that she where going to her dorm. could he?"
Al thought to himself. while thinking of, whether he should go back, or stay here.

After a brief thoguth, he decided to stay a little longer, you never know, something might happen, perhaps that is why Al was sent with her. In secret.
 
Jimmy quickly followed Cole down the shaft with Xu behind him, sounds of a furious beast could be heard on the bottom floor, as they reached down they saw Evan and his GF Diablo standing in front a pissed off wyvern...

"I...i had never seen one so huge like this one."

Seeing the Wyvern was enormous and there was not a lot of space to fight him, Jimmy thought they would need some speed to avoid it's attacks.

"CERBERUS come to me and give me and my friends the triple ability!!!"

Cerberus appeared from another dimension a place people usually call the Gates of Hell, he came to the side of Jimmy and all of his faces shot a beam of light that hit both Evan, Cole and Jimmy they could now use triple magic attacks.

Jimmy gave a pat on all the heads of Cerberus...

"Thank you friend you can go now i will summon you again if things get worst!!!"
 
"Good thinking Jimmy. Let's jump on in with the assist."

Cole looked around the room. He could not use his magic from a distance in this place. Since the room was so small, there was a chance of the others getting hurt from any magic he would cast.
Cole ran over to Evan.

"Sorry about taking so long. You look beat up."

Cole used his cure magic on Evan to take care of his bumps and bruises. He looked back at the whyvern. It was getting tired and weaker. It seems Evan had already done most of the work. Now it was time to finish it.

"Okay guys let's do this."

Cole charged at the whyvern weaponless, but ready to fight none the less. The monster tried to grab him as he came up, but Cole dropped to the floor and slid under it. When he reached the other side he quickly jumped to his feet and shot a blast of fire into it's back.
 
as the wyvern turned around to keep it's focus on cole it slammed Evan into a wall with its tail, and while evan was lieing in a dent in the wall he looked over and saw that the wyvern was still fighting furiosely he decided against staying down, he slowly pulled himself out of the wall and looked at Diablo.
Evan: "hey D, i think we need his help"
Diablo: "you can't trust him"
Evan: "we don't need to trust him, i can control him because i have the pendant his spirit is bout to"
Diablo: "it is Odin, that is what you have to remember, he tryed to kill you once and he might try again, and this time i won't be able to protect you i'm to weakened"
Evan: "it's our only hope"
 
Seeing Evan and Cole having trouble dodging the Wyvern attacks he used his triple magic ability to cast haste on the three of them.

"Let's see if you can handle my attack dumb dragon!!!"

Jimmy rushed against the Wyvern the beast tryed to slash him with his tail but he dodged the attack by giving a moonsault.

"Take this Punch Rush!!!!"

As the Wyvern was unprotected Jimmy was able to land a combo of three punches to it's stomach pushing back a bit, yet the Wyvern was still standing up, leaving Jimmy amazed at it's durability...

"Whooo...i did not know Wyverns were so tough, guess it's far from over..."
 
"Careful kid. don't get in over your head."

With Jimmy's attack the whyvern turned its attention away from Cole. Its back was exposed to him once again. Cole jumped up onto its back. The creature was to busy focusing on Jimmy to even notice something climb it. Cole went all the way to the back of its neck and placed his hand right between its shoulders.

'This is really going to hurt.'

He cast his fira magic once again. The blast threw him back against the wall. He was a little dazed from the experience. He couldn't see how effective his attack really was.
Xu ran over to him and propped him up.

"You are really stupid, you know that," she yelled at him when she got there.

"Yeah I know."

Cole then cast cure on himself so he could join back into the fight.
 
Enigma couldn't stand around any longer; Luana could take care of herself. Before leaving, Cid approached Enigma once again:

"Enigma, it has come to my attention that a number of your fellow SeeD's have entered the basement. Granted, this is where the power can be restored, but it is not the safest place to be. There has been a reported rise in monster activity down there and I'm not entirely sure how safe it is. Despite all of this, I believe you should join them; they may need help."

Enigma's face was one of confusion. Cid apparently knew about the danger awaiting the rookie SeeD's, but chose not to mention it to anybody. He was angered and didn't feel Cid was worthy of a response. Enigma ran off in the direction of the elevator shaft, prepared to assist his friends.

"Maybe once we get the power restored we can find out what the hell is going on!"
He arrived at the elevator,fully aware ofthe condition of it. Without hesitation, he clasped onto the remaining elevator chord and slowly slid down it in a discrete manner.
What greeted him on landing was something he did not expect by any means. SeeD were locked in battle with a huge Wyvern; a notoriously dangerous monster.
Knowing that they needed to deal with this beast soon, Enigma immediately cast a scalding Firaga spell in the Wyverns direction.
The spell hit with an explosion of embers and flames. Perhaps a dangerous tactic in such a confined area, but they had no time to consider these kind of factors.

"Sorry I'm late guys, any luck with the power? Maybe one of us could go and sort the power out while the rest keeps these ugly piece of crap occupied!"
 
After observing the area he found a door, this may lead to the control room so he headed towards it, it was a few platforms away and there was no floor that he could make out below, he could die if he made a wrong move here.

As he approached the door a dull thud could be heard, he hesitated slightly but then opened the door and swung his body behind it, when nothing came he turned his head and saw nothing. With this confirmation he turned to the door and walked in.

As he looked around his new surroundings he could see an abandoned lamp which still had some power left so he picked it up and saw a two Iguions approaching him, almost drawn by the light, he had no weapons and he couldn't use any magic.

"I...am in trouble"...the central Iguion pounced at Damon but Damon managed to dodge this with a spin to the left, this was closely followed by the remaining two attempt to bite him, he holds their jaws shut with his hands but they had the advantage of power here.

"dammit" after a few seconds the Iguions had bested Damon's strength and knocked him back, they now stood over him and prepared to kill him. In an attempt of desparation he kicked them away and rose to his feet, the Iguions seemed frustrated now and started to bite at him, one of which managed to bite his left arm leaving a large wound above his elbow.
 
Evan: "DIABLO HELP DAMON, HURRY"
Diablo flew into the room damon had enter and began to fight the Iguion's
Diablo: "Damon get moving return the power i wil keep these two busy"
meanwhile evan was loking at the wyvern in shock, It's size, and it's power were amazing and the fact that it had no aparent weaknesses and the Seed's had no weapons made the though of continueing the fight without Diablo worse and so Evan decided ther was no other choice, he grabed the odin pendant on his neck and whisperd into it "you wil help us and if you don't you wil get dismissed, i am giving you the change to get out of the pendent and stretch your limbs, i am being kind to you so the least you can do is help me out" evan then snaped the chain that held the pendant around his neck and held it in the Air
Evan: "ODIN I SUMMON YOU"
a large dark cloud appeared over garden and Odin materialized in the chamber in which the Seed were fighting the Wyvern
Evan: "did you hear what i said?"
Odin: "Indeed"
Evan: "will you help us?"
Odin: "Indeed"
Evan: "thank you"
Odin: "this wont take long"
Evan: "i hope not, Now Odin attack!"
odin Un-sheathed his sword and walked towards the wyvern with a smile on his face
Odin: "it's been a while since i have killed something of your calibre, i will enjoy this"
 
Seeing how Evan had just summoned Odin, Arthvader decided to take out his pendant to call out Gilgamesh.

Arthvader "Well, If he's going to call Odin, I might as well call him out. Gilgamesh, come on out!"

As Gilgamesh appeared from out of the pendant, Arthvader took out his swords and joined in on the fight.

Arthvader "Gilgamesh, are you ready for this?"

Gilgamesh "Yeah, sure. So, tell me, who are we up against this time?"

Arthvader then pointed towards the wyvern that Odin was heading towards.

Gilgamesh "Okay. I guess this is the perfect time for me to use this sword. I feel this will be a good battle for me."

Gilgamesh then charged towards the wyvern, taking his sword out in the process. As Gilgamesh was heading towards the wyvern, he saw odin.

Gilgamesh "Well, I guess we meet again.what brings you here?"
 
As Damon clutched the wound a black and red creature appeared, it took a second to recognise him as Diablos.

"Damon get moving return the power i wil keep these two busy"

Alright! be careful, arrh! damn this wound! well, I guess I had better be more careful.

Damon slowly stood up and ran past the Iguions as Diablos engaged them. As he navigated the long corridor he came to a ladder, after climbing to the top he saw the control room, he then opened the door and walked inside, there was a rusted wheel in the center which would probably activate the emergency power.

Hey! anyone nearby! I may need a hand moving this thing!
 
Evan herd the Echo of Damon's call from al the way down the coridor and he then herd Diablo's Dark matter attack which kiled one of the Iguions and he then loked over to Odin who had drawn his Sword and started atacking the Wyvern, he then saw Gilgamesh on the approach and automatically knew Arth was there.
Full: "take Gilgamesh and Find Damon. Odin, the other Seed members and myself can handle this bitch"
Odin: "yes Gilgamesh go and Help Damon"
Diablo was fightin the remainng Iguion with his hands alone
Diablo: "i wil kil you without magic" the Iguion Hised at him and he smiled "im the king Of Demon's you wont scare me"
 
As Damon awaited the sound of someone's footsteps he could hear a sound like gravity being compressed (it's hard to describe ;)).

That must be Diablos' handywork I suppose...

After he finished saying this he could hear Evan's voice.

"take Gilgamesh and Find Damon. Odin, the other Seed members and myself can handle this bitch"

I guess Arth must be coming too, Gilgamesh never strays too far from him, they are practically inseperable. I guess I had better test out this wheel.

Damon tugged at the wheel in a vain attempt, it was rusted still, hopefully with Arth and Gilgamesh this would be easier. As he pulled away his wound started to pulse in pain, it must have contracted something from the Iguions, he would have to be more careful and stick closer to the more powerful SeeD members down here.
 
Odin was slashing at the Wyvern when it let out a horific Screech and from inside the Giant cave it had craled out of a Similar sounding (but slighlty more viciose screech could be hear and then many loud footsteps could be hear, and then the Wyvern's mate could be Seen a Wyvern of the same colour but Bigger came charging out of the Cave.
Evan: "ther is more than one of these things"
Evan heard Diablo Stil fighting one of the Iguion's and shouted to him "Hurry up diablo i need you" Diablo heard this and used his dark mater atack to kil the other Iguion he then charged out as fast as he could and saw the other Wyvern,

he flew over to Odin and Stod next to him
Diablo: "looks like you need a hand"
Odin: "i could do with two, and that nifty Dark mater atack of yours wouldn't go amiss either"
Diablo prepared his Dark mater atack "hey this guy is nearly as ugly as you" he then threw his dark mater atack and kiled the Female Wyvern (the first one) the Male one then let out a defaning screech
Odin: "great you killed his Girl friend, you realy should start to think about your actions"
Diablo: "shut up and get ready coz he loks very Pised off"
 
Before the even larger Wyvern had a chance to strike, Enigma cast Meltdown. This magic was extremely useful, mainly because of it's Vitality 0 effect it has.
"I know our weapons are completely screwed, but it's defence is now gone completely. Beat the crap out of it!"

Fortunately, each SeeD member was trained in hand to hand combat. Just because they didn't specialise in it, didn't mean they couldn't kick ass when they needed to.
In a few minutes, if Damon was correct, the power would be back on and this whole situation would hopefully be resolved; the adrenaline was now pumping. With the power back, they could check the CCTV to see where this bastard causing all the problems was, and Enigma couldn't wait.

The whole structure of the battle outlined why these people were Balamb Garden's elite. The smallest things like position in battle showed how well trained the SeeD's were. The group had surrounded the mammoth beast, making it impossible for the wyvern to attack without being attacked itself.

"Guys, we can get rid of this thing quick if we work together."

At that moment, Enigma cast haste on the entire party; an ideal spell against a slow enemy. Jimmy would be integral to the plan, despite his young age, he packed one hell of a punch.

"Cole, if you have any Fira spells left we could burn it from both sides! Then Evan and Jimmy can punch the hell out of it; what do you guys think?"

Enigma found it uncomfortable suggesting ideas to the whole group. The last thing he wanted to do was give the impression he was in charge, they were all equal.
 
Evan: "Odin, Diablo attack now he has no Defence"
Odin + Diablo: "got it"
on this the demonic Duo (i know Odin aint a demon but it sounds cool) Charged at thje wyvern not holding any thing back, Diablo with his Fists Odin with his sword, this angered the wyvern who charged at Evan and attempted to swollow him but he grabbed ITs top jaw and put his feet on the botom jaw Holding the wyverns mouth open
Evan: "you don't wanna eat me i'll give you indigestion" #Diablo saw Evan's predicament and flew over to help him
Diablo: "hold on Evan i wil get you out of here" Evan gave Diablo Evil loks "no pun intendid" Diablo grabed the top jaw of the beast and began to lift
Evan: "D wait"
Diablo: "what?"
Evan: "how does your Dark matter attack taste?"
Diablo: "i dunno wh...good idea"
Diablo prepared his dark mater attack while Evan shouted to the rest of the group "Everyone stand back, this could get messy" Diablo then threw the ball of Dark mater down the Wyverns throat and puled evan away from the Wyvern
