Balamb Garden

Enigma had to sit down soley to take in what he had just witnessed. Breathtakingly powerful magic, blood and violence. In the blink of an eye, it had all started and ended. Thankfully without any casualties.
He exchanged looks with Jimmy who looked as puzzled as Enigma felt.
Slowly, he leant around the corner to see Cid casually sitting in his charred office. Odd to say the least.

"Ah, Enigma come in please. Since certain members of SeeD have took it upon themselves to either leave or not show up at all, I would like to borrow your communications headset please.

~All members of SeeD listen up. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, stop and listen to me. As some of you know, I have just had an encounter with sorceress Edea; I do not expect you to know of this woman. Her purpose was to leave with vital documents concerning Balamb Garden's plans. Fortunately for us, I handed her fake documents, thus buying us time to prepare for her next visit. What I am about to say is no exagerration, Edea is one of the deadliest people you will ever encounter and she cannot possess these documents. Being SeeD's, you are expected to be prepared for anything you may have to face; including this next step. I am entrusting you, SeeD, with Balamb Gardens most valuable documentation. However, we cannot keep them here. You may see where I am going with this. You are being re-located; to Fishermans Horizon.
We to are moving the Garden, to where we do not know yet. You will be informed of our location at some point I can assure you.
To assist you, we have taken it upon ourselves to recruit two new members: Ris and Mamushi.
All meet immediately at the main gates to be introduced to your new party members and receive your final briefing. That is all. I expect you all to be there. ~"

Cid cooly handed Enigma's headset back as if he hadn't just dropped this massive bombshell.
Enigma, with his mouth wide open, swung round to face Jimmy.
Their lives had just changed. Forever.
 
Upon hearing the announcement Mamushi thought to himself why me, but without hesistation he geared up and proceeded to the main gate equiped with his Tantos he was ready for anything.

* hope thats ok
 
Evan was stood in the weapon shop and the broadcast came to him via his head set by this point the morphine had worn off and he had returned to a non-stoned state and his eyes welled up with tears.
Shop keeper: "hey Seed you okay?"
Evan: "garden is being moved"
Shop keeper: "damn, some of my best customer's live there"
Evan: "so is my sword ready?"
Shop keeper: "well yes but i have a question to ask you"
Evan: "what?"
Shopkeeper: "well i have designed a new sword, i call it the Keyblade"
Evan: "keyblade" he looked at the shop keeper blankly
the shop keeper held up a strange looking sword that looked like a giant key with a sharp edge, and smiled
Evan: "it's a giant key with a blade on it"
Shop keeper: "hence the name Keyblade Key-blade"
Evan: "what about it ?"
Shopkeeper: "well i was going to ask Squall to test it for me, but he never comes down any more, so could you test it for me"
Evan took the sword from the shop keeper and and swung it around a bit to see how it felt in his hand
Evan: "is it free test?"
Shop keeper: "yes and you get to keep the sword"
Evan: "okay i'll test it for you"
the shop keeper handed evan a sword holder for the keyblade that you had to slide the sword down and twist to lock into place. evan then left the shop and ran to his car jumped in and turned on his communicator he then turned on the engine, and began driving back he began to speak into the comm.

A completely black motorcycle stopped at the parking lot of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1>Balamb</st1><st1> Garden</st1></st1:place>, with its rider revving it once and then shutting the modified machine off. A loud speaker could be heard in the main hall of the Garden, as a completely white clothed figure appeared, the announcement said that Seed members are to report to the main hall. Step after step was made as a white haired figure walked through the main hall of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1>Balamb</st1> <st1>Garden</st1></st1:place>. His blue eyes moved a few times to see his surroundings. It was different then <st1:place w:st="on"><st1>Trabia</st1> <st1>Garden</st1></st1:place>, that was certain. A bag hung over the young mans shoulder was held by the left hand as Ris pressed the elevator button.

“It sure takes long…”

Either that or it was broken. Though for some reason and judging by the current atmosphere the second option seemed more likely. Moving his white hair slightly to the side Ris tried to spot an alternative way up. Things seemed to be going up and down at <st1>Balamb</st1> <st1>Garden</st1>, and the transfer from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1>Trabia</st1><st1> Garden </st1></st1:place>went through pretty much un-noticed. Which was actually refreshing for a change, since he practically had a fun club over at Trabia. But he rather liked the nature here at Balamb, so much green, trees and the Garden was bigger and, by his opinion, had a better looking exterior. The sign he earlier saw suggested that the only way up to the head masters office was the elevator.

“Maybe I should try to climb it from the inside.”

No no that was a bad idea. Getting arrested on his first day was not a good way to begin with in a new Garden. So he’d try and spot an alternative route. Damn he disliked being new, everything was so different here, so maybe he was just to wait. Putting the black bag on the ground next to his feet the young man looked up. Balamb sure made the impression that more was going on, but Ris wouldn’t get involved since he was told to see the head master and report to him as soon as he got there, so that was exactly what he would do. But with the broken elevator it might prove a bit difficult. However a few minutes later the lights on the other side of the glass lit up and marked that the elevator was working again. As at that particular moment Ris was on the other side of the corridor quite a few Seed members moved up. And then another announcement could be heard. <o:p></o:p>
With an almost bored look on his face Ris moved towards the others, on one spot he saw blood, but gave little attention to it as he reached the location Cid was talking about. Leaning on the wall the blue eyes of Ris followed the events. Quite a few members of the Garden were there, and since he didn’t know anyone he just waited to see events unfold themselves. However just in case he put on his gloves and laid his bag next to him. Soon he spotted an elder man who fitted the description his head master gave him the young man approached Cid silently but didn’t say anything, wearing white pants, a white shirt, a white coat and white shoes as well Ris stood out of the crowd pretty much, so he was a bit easy to spot.

[[Hope that it's alright that I made a post right now, and I think that it didn't influence any other characters. And gracias Damo for this, is greatly appreciated =D]]<o:p></o:p>

After hearing Cid speech, Jimmy stood completely frozen looking at him for at least a minute. He could not believe what he had just heard they were going to hide the Garden and some of the SeeD members were going to be sent to Fishermans Horizon, and what confused him more was the fact that they were not even being told where the Garden was being sent...

"SIR!!! Are...you actually serious?"

Headmaster Cid looked at Jimmy with his eyes wide open...

Headmaster Cid:"This is not the time to be jocking around Jimmy i expect you to follow my orders, and they are final by the way."

For the first time since he had entered Balamb Garden Jimmy felt like punshing the Headmaster in the face, but he thought better and instead tried to reason the old man.

"But sir...why can't you tell us where the Garden is going!? Do you expect us to be captured by Edea? And what if the Garden gets attacked, who will defend it!?"

Cid looked to the ground he seemed more troubled than usual...

Headmaster Cid:"I hope you don't get captured...and my biggest wish is that the Garden never falls on the wrong hands. Edea...i don't know what's wrong with her, but try to understand, you, Enigma and the others might be our only chance. So please follow my orders, protect the documents and i promise that as soon as possible i will contact you, but for now trust me and go."

Jimmy felt no more anger in his heart, he knew Cid was being honest and that if he thought that going into a hideout was their best hope then the situation was probably more critical then they he had expected.

He looked at Enigma and with a simple change of looks they understood that they had to move fast and get out of the Garden...

"Well dude...i guess we have no choice but to go...i guess it's farewell to Balamb Garden for now."

They then turned around the see a young man dressed in white standing near the door...
 
As Damon was about to sleep his headset started to make noise, Damon walked over to his pile of clothes and pulled it out of the bundle. He placed it on his head and only caught a fragment of the message.

I do not expect you to know of this woman. Her purpose was to leave with vital documents concerning Balamb Garden's plans. Fortunately for us, I handed her fake documents, thus buying us time to prepare for her next visit. What I am about to say is no exagerration, Edea is one of the deadliest people you will ever encounter and she cannot possess these documents. Being SeeD's, you are expected to be prepared for anything you may have to face; including this next step. I am entrusting you, SeeD, with Balamb Gardens most valuable documentation. However, we cannot keep them here. You may see where I am going with this. You are being re-located; to Fishermans Horizon.
We to are moving the Garden, to where we do not know yet. You will be informed of our location at some point I can assure you.
To assist you, we have taken it upon ourselves to recruit two new members: Ris and Mamushi.
All meet immediately at the main gates to be introduced to your new party members and receive your final briefing. That is all. I expect you all to be there. ~"

Damon heard this and took a moment to register what to do. He then thought to himself.

"Who is Edea? Why did she need those documents? Better get ready and ask questions later. I wonder though... Why does it take all of SeeD to look after some documents? Ah well... better get ready."

Damon walked over to his wardrobe and pulled out his out-of-school clothes, it was completely black and was quite a loose fit, it is made of leather with a light metal in-between skin. He also had black combat boots, a black cap and black fingerless gloves. When he had finished getting dressed he unlocked his door and when he left he re-locked it and pocketed the key. He then proceeded to the entrance gate. When he arrived he thought to himself.

"What am I going to do without a weapon? I could head over to the weapon shop but I doubt there is time now, I suppose I will ask someone when more people arrive."
 
Evan slowed down as he drove into the car park and through to the instructor's garages he opened his and parked the White Evo inside he climbed out of it and locked the doors, with his central locking this was a quick job just the press of a button, he then put a rather large padlock on the garage door and then placed his hand on the garage door "sleep well my friend" he whispered as if he was talking to the car, he then went to the main gates to see who was there he saw a group of Seed girls crying, "haha they probly think they will never see each other again" he sat on a wall un-sheathed the Keyblade and looked at it "this is a weird design, wonder what the Key is for?"
 
As a lot happened, in a short while. A fellow SeeD was spiked, and taken to the infirmary, Enigma entered, and talked to Cid.

A few seconds later, the Com-set started making noises in his pocket. "Wha. I actually brought this" Al said surprised to himself.

He pot it on, and listened to the communication.

~All members of SeeD listen up. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, stop and listen to me. As some of you know, I have just had an encounter with sorceress Edea; I do not expect you to know of this woman. Her purpose was to leave with vital documents concerning Balamb Garden's plans.

"What the hell" Al thought, this was not normal. What the hell, who the hell is Edea, He had heard of some rumors, but not enough to know who it was.

Nonetheless, He got his orders. And Jimmy had asked the rest that needed asking.

Al started his walk towards the main gates, hoping that they would get new weapons, due to the fact that only Jimmy was 'armed' so to speak.
 
As Damon was in thought he heard the sound of an engine, first he heard a motorcycle, and a few minutes later he saw Evan's car entering the instructors garage. A few minutes later Evan emerged from the garage weilding a strange key-like sword. Damon walked towards him as he sat down examining the blade.

"Hey Evan, how come you get a sword? what is that thing anyway?"

Damon started looking closely at the blade, it was unique, that's for sure, a new model perhaps?
 
Evan: "oh hey damon, yea i was in town getting my new sword when the Sop keeper asked me to test this new weapon he had designed, it's kinda cool don't ya think, i only have one problem and thats with the key. i wonder what it's for"
evan stepped away from Damon and began swinging the weapon to test if he could wield it on a regular basis and when he stopped he looked at damon
Evan: "it is amazing the swing is just right here try" evan threw the sword handle first to Damon "Catch"
 
Damon grabbed the handle of the weapon with his right hand and held the blade with the other, it was surprisingly light for such a large weapon. Damon tossed the blade back to Evan and said "when is everyone else getting a weapon? I would go to the weapon shop if we weren't stuck for time".
 
Mamushi looking around see Damon and Evan holding a large key shocked by what he see's he decides to talk to them and asks
Mamushi: what kind of weapon is that and how did you come across something like that it's makes my Tanto's look like kitchen knives.
 
Evan: "hey, yea it is pritty big, i was given it by the local town's weapon maker he asked me to test it for him so her it is, it's light for it's size"
Evan rested the blunt edge of the blade against his shoulder as to not cut his Seed jacket, Evan was one of the Few members of Seed who were still in uniform as he decided to put it on to go to town in.
he was looking at a group of Sed members coming out of the Garden when he saw Squall and Quistis coming out of the gates
Squall: "oh thers evan, damon and Mamushi you gunna come over and talk to them?"
Quistis: "no it's okay, i'll stay here you can go if you want"
 
Damon saw Squall and Quistis, Squall seemed happy enough but Quistis still seemed upset, Damon walked over to Squall "Could you let me have a little time to check in at the Balamb weapon shop? I would quite like to get a new weapon." Squall replied "Not just yet, at least wait for everyone else to arrive, you may already have weapons organised for you, wait and see". Damon felt slightly upset at this answer and turned and walked back to face the gate.
 
Mamushi was puzzled as to why Damon didn't have his weapon.
Mamushi: hey Damon how come you haven't come equipped or did you lose your weapon or something.
 
Damon turned to the newcomer, he scratched his head slightly and answered "Something like that... Didn't your weapons get screwed up in the power cut? Our's did, that's why I was hoping to grab a weapon from the Balamb weapon shop *sigh* guess I will just have to wait and see what happens."
 
Evan: "hey cheer up, if any beasties come to get you i will be there to beat them up" *said in a slightly sarcastic mannor*
Evan began laughing at his own joke, and then he noticed that alot of his felow Seed were looking at the weapon he had in his hand and he shouted "it's called a keyblade,STOP STARING!!!" The Sed members stopped being focused on the Keyblade and went back to their conversations, Evan re-sheathed the keyblade to avert attention from it to the current problem
 
Mamushi: truth is i have a holster for each of my Tanto's so i never lose them i would have thought you would have taken more care in your weapon's as well, but i suppose there was a power cut so these kind's of thing's are inevitable.
Mamushi was curious as to why Damon is known throughout
Balamb Garden, maybe he thought to himself he has an amazing fighting ability.
 
"I didn't lose my weapon!" Damon shouted, he was quite offended as to how someone could think that, he calmed down after a few seconds and spoke again "... My weapon sort of got bent out of shape... It is tricky to explain though..." Damon then turned to Evan after hearing his joke "I suppose so, but in this outfit they may think twice before taking me! I look like a freaking assasin!"
 
Evan smiled at Damon's remark and looked at him
Evan:"you have a point there"
he cought a glance of Quistis and squall smiling and joking, and the Squall jogged over to him, damon and Mamushi
Squall: "what's with the weapon?"
Evan: "new design"
Squall: "okay then"
squal obviosely came over just for that as he ran back over to Quistis
