Balamb Garden

Borrowing a vehicle seemed like their best option. On the plus side, Amelia had arrived which gave them a boost. An extra SeeD was never a bad thing, certainly in a situation like this.

Before they had a chance to take action, Enigma's phone began to ring; it was Arthvader.

"Arth, great timing. If you're in Esthar already, you need to stay very low. The Galbadians are there and they're looking for us. They know what we look like too which is even worse."

Enigma stopped talking for a few seconds, he was analysing what he had just said. SeeD did not build their reputation by running from the enemy. It's members were some of the best fighters around, all of Enigma's colleagues included. Yes, they were young, but they were deadly.

"Arth, hang fast. Get yourself prepared, lay low for now, we'll be there soon. We've got a fight on our hands."

He hung up the phone and looked at Al and Amelia. Enigma had made his decision to fight and hoped his two party members agreed; he had the feeling that Al certainly would. Amelia on the other hand let her head ruled her heart, not a bad quality to have at all. She was clever and did not get drawn into a fight without absolutely having to.

"Guys, I'm not running away from the shitty Galbadian's. They're weak, we're not. Now is the time we show them we mean business. You with me?"
 
As Damon continued walking across the seemingly endless stretch of track he noticed some smoke in the distance, perhaps the evolved monsters had broke through to Esthar. Picking up the pace he could see the salt lake coming ino view, beyond it he could see a large group of people, barely.As Damon arrived at the salt lake he could see the rotting corpses of the native monsters, these were not enhanced, their faces seemed to look in a state of fear. Maybe something up ahead was causing this.

As Damon traversed the thin paths of the salt lake he came across a huge skeleal dragon, it had not noticed him, yet. As Damon tried to get around it without a fight the dragon seemed to have gathered his scent, before it could find Damon a huge griffon appeared and crushed it under it's thick talons, this too was skeletal but was 5 times larger than the dragon.

"Maybe this is the source of the monster's fear..."

Damon unsheathed his swords as he prepared to outmanouvre it, he was at a disadvantage alone. Maybe one of his allies was nearby?
 
Al finished his beer.
"I'm in" He replied, as he cracked his fingers.
"With my abilities, I think I have just what it takes to 'borrow' a vehicle" He grinned in a semi-evil way.

he got out of the chair, and looked at enigma.
"Meet me at the train tracks in 30 min" he smiled, as he turned around, and walked for the door.

It was obvious that he knew what he was doing. And his skills in invisibility would come one handy.

-----------------------
OOC: as you get to the tracks. I will tell the "tale" of the 'aquiring' of the car ^^
 
Evan reached into his pocket and removed his phone from it, he began writing a text that he would send to Enigma
------------------------------------------
Hey Enigma it's Evan I'm headin to timber now and i have my car if you want a lift, just past FH, but still on tracks.
------------------------------------------
he kept the accelerator pritty much on the floor and Didn't even stop in FH to check for any survivors as he didn't imagine there would be any after Diablo's Devastating attack.
 
Jimmy simply looked at all the destruction the others had created, obviously he stayed inside the train protecting the sandwich lady instead of going outside and enter berserk mode, destroying half of FH.

"(That's what they get for bringing rockies, this guys don't know how to act...jesus christ they're dumb. Cid won't be to happy when he finds out that we will have to pay the bill to rebuild the city.)"

Understanding there was nothing more he could do about it, he walked out of the train trying to help the civilians who were injured from the others reckless behaviour and help bury the ones who died.
 
"Okay, Got it. I'll be waiting till then, Enigma."

He said just as he hung up the phone. 'So, it seems that galbadians are here as well, and it looks like they're working with the esthar soldiers. I better be careful from this point." Arthvader thought as he prepared a disguise from the dark alleyway. "There, that should keep these soldiers off my shoulders for a while." with one of the galbadian outfits he took from a previous mission (I'll get more into that later.), and his hair combed back, Arthvader walked into the streets, blending in with the people. As he walked around the town, A Galbadian soldier stopped him. The soldier then pulled out a poster, showing the faces of those who were at FH. "You seem new here. Let me give you this. We are currently looking for these people. We advise that if you spotted any of them, contact us immediately, okay?" 'It seems this disguise is working just as I thought.' "umm, Sure. I'll let you know if anythings happens." After recieveing the poster, the soldier left. 'Yeah, like I'm going to help.' He thought as he tossed the poster away. He then continued walking around the city.
 
OCC : I really want this RP back, it's the first RP I've ever joined and I want it back NAO. -__-

_______________________________________

Amelia needed to go to Dollet first to meet Marko, her best childhood friend. She needed to tell him everything about what happened in FH, but not really in full detail. She didn't want to worry him about her fate when she released Abigail. She loved him, but she never confessed her feelings for him. She was too scared.

Amelia looked around the inn, feeling that there's someone familiar to her in here. To her surprise, she saw a familiar face; Short brown hair, green eyes, and his sweet smile. Amelia smiled. She knew Marko would always be there for her.

She really wanted to greet him, so she walked up to his table and said simply, but casually, to Marko : "Miss me?"

Marko looked up and was surprised at Amelia's appearance. His shocked face turned into a smile.

"And I'd always knew you'd come here!" Marko exclaimed, getting up to hug Amelia. She hugged back, not like a friend, but like a secret lover.

"Who told you I'd be here in Timber?" Amelia asked suspiciously. Amelia knew Marko for his mischieviousness when they were younger.

Marko smiled. "Who else would you go up to, to explain your adventures at Balamb Garden?"

"Oh." Amelia said, quite sastified with Marko's answer. "Uncle Ian." Amelia said. "Well, I want to introduce you to a couple of friends of mine." Amelia took Marko by the hand and walked toward Al and Enigma. "Amelia stopped, and said. "Marko, this is Al and Enigma. Al, Enigma, this is Marko."
 
Evan smirked as he drove through Timber, he didn't stop as he never got a reply, he wasn't going to look for any of the fellow Seed as he thought that by now they would have moved on. so he exited the City and headed for Esthar only stopping briefly at an Item shop to buy some potions and some food.
 
Shadow was walking across the halls of balamb garden on his way out when he heard a distant battle shout from the training sector. "finally something to do" Shadow muttered as he ran towards the training sector. when he arrived he saw traces of a battle leading away to the left. "damnit if you want help stay in one place so we can help you" Shadow murmured to himself, then he ran towards the left with his scythe drawn. when he arrived, he found a student deep in battle with a three monsters, one a plant, two others beasts. "YOUR NOT ALONE IN THIS FIGHT" Shadow shouted jumping behind the monsters so as to flank them. the student glanced up at him, saw he was helping, and nodded, beginning to cast a fire spell at the enemies. Shadow decided to attack and draw their attention away from his ally so as to allow him time to cast the spell. Shadow sprinted towards the monsters and struck one with his scythe, wounding it badly. Luka, Shadow noticed a nametag on him, used the fire spell on the same monster that Shadow had attacked, thereby killing it. next, Luka jumped high in the air with his spear planning to use jump on a creature. Shadow, seeing this, immediately used his firaga spell. "FIRAGA" Shadow shouted sending a fireball at a plant monster, instantly killing it. Luka came down from the air, finishing off the other monster. "nice work who are you?" Luka asked Shadow coming towards him. Shadow just spoke his name and turned to leave. Luka stopped him though and said "we work together pretty well. why don't we travel together?" Shadow nodded and continued out of the garden with Luka behind him.

OOC: sorry bout coming up with a new char straight off, i'll be using him at the same time as Shadow, pretty much their in a party together, i'll be adding Luka's bio underneath Shadow's
 
The SeeD members assigned to FH began to gather around under the order of Xu, it seemed three members had lost their life in the battle, their bodies would be sent to Balamb City were the memorial service would be held, there were also twenty dead civilians, innocent people who had nothing to do with Edea or the documents which they were carrying. Eventually all the remaining SeeDs joined around.

Xu:"Right...well i have to say it so i might as well just say it...THIS BATTLE WENT REALLY BAD!!!! LOOK AT ALL THIS DESTRUCTION,THE GARDEN WILL HAVE TO PAY BILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO RECONSTRUCT EVERYTHING THAT WAS LOST, I REALIZE THIS IS THE FIRST BATTLE FOR SOME OF YOU...BUT NONETHELESS REMEMBER THAT IN A BATTLE YOU SHOULD AVOID GOING BERSERK AND DESTROYING EVERYTHING THAT APPEARS IN FRONT OF YOU!!!"

Xu stopped talking, everyone stood frozen after her speech but looking around it was obvious that a lot of the damage the city had just taken could have been avoided if they had been more organized and less destructive, it's true they were only looking out to protect the civilians but unfortunately the result was not the intended.

Xu:"Well now that this issue is taken care off...i would like to inform you that i have recently entered in contact with Headmaster Cid, and per his orders we are to leave Fishermans Horizon and go to Timber, as our position as been compromissed, fortunately the documents we are carrying remain under our control. So i expect you all near the trainstation at 7am tomorrow, no delays!!!!That is all...dismiss."

Everyone wanted to speak but it was obvious that Xu was not in the mood to answer questions, at least now Jimmy knew that the mission had not been compromissed, it was just a shame that three SeeDs had lost their life in the battle. Zell and Quistis seemed troubled as well, and neither of them spoke and just went to the nearest hotel to get some rest. Jimmy was now alone, and angry at everything that had just happened his only objective at the moment was to avenge his dead comrades and destroy Sorceress Edea.



 
Shadow and Luka heard the announcement and decided to head over to timber to help out. "Shadow let's hurry and get to the train before it leaves" Luka said to Shadow as they headed for the entrance. Shadow nodded, then ran to the parking lot and grabbed a car. he drove it to the entrance and picked up Luka and they headed out to the town.
 
Evan stopped just outside Timber "I should travel with them" he thought to himself he then turned his car around and drove back to Timer to wait for his fellow Seed members. Upon arrival in Timber he went to book into a hotel and then he went to get his swords upgraded. Evan also decided that he would no longer use double swords, instead he was going to switch to using one sword. he searched through a weapons magazine for a single sword that looked good, that he had the components and that was in his price range.


after around 20 minutes he found a sword that filled all three categories and he decided on that one, after selling his sword to boost his cash he asked the smithy to make it for him. he sat down in the waiting room for around one hour before the smithy came through "Mr Baxter i have finished your sword" Evan paid the smithy and took the sword he then went to his hotel room and after sending a text Xu he went to bed, the message read 'Xu, i have booked into a hotel in Timber, when you arrive call me so i know to come and meet you, Evan'

OOC:the sword looks like this

OOC: nice blade Altair really nice.

IC: on the train, Shadow and Luka were discussing their plans. "there should be a few SeeDs at Timber. we can meet up with them and get a group going, making battles easier" Luka was saying, and Shadow nodded. "i mean, there must have a been a few before all of this happened right? RIGHT?" Luka asked Shadow, turning towards him. Shadow finally spoke again "most likely yes. after all it is a backup base" Shadow then remained silent again. Then a voice came over the intercom "we shall be arriving at Timber shortly" the voice said. then the train gave a jerk, and it stopped at Timber. "shall we go then Shadow?" Luka asked Shadow as they got off the train. Shadow nodded, then beckoned towards the hotel room. "your right, we should get a room before everyone else arrives." As they walked up to the hotel room, Shadow noticed a few galbadian soldiers in bad disguises. he made a mental note that they were their, then entered the hotel with Luka. after Luka had booked two rooms, one for each of them, they headed for the lounge and outlined their plans in quiet voices.
 
Fayd had heard the announcement meer moments before he had set off to timber and had arrived the same day. he walked slowly through the streets in the sunset light on his way to the hotel. "if theres seed anywhere, then by now they will be here." he muttered to himself as he passed two badly disguised soldiers and entered the hotel building. sure enough there was two Seed sat down over in the lounge area, they were muttering in low voices. "they are smart too, i can see about 5 galbadians over near them and by the looks of it so can they." he thought as he walked over to the front desk. "Can i help you?" a woman enquired, he answered in a smile "one room please, for a week?" "ok sir youre all set, heres your key." she said handing him a key card. "Thank you" he replied with a cheeky wink at the woman as he walked over to the two talking in the lounge area. "Hey I'm Fayd. Pleased to meet'cha" he said holding his hand out to the closer of the two
 
Shadow noticed the man next to Luka, and nodded towards him. Luka took the man's hand and shook it, saying "nice to meet you, i'm Luka, and my silent friend here would be Shadow. we were just discussing our business plans" Luka said happily to Fayd. Shadow noticed the galbadian soldiers coming there way and tapped Luka on the shoulder "what you nee- crap." Luka noticed them as well and told Fayd "uhm listen we gotta head out we have some pelts to collect from some monsters outside of town. if you will excuse us" Shadow and Luka hurried out of town and hid on a nearby cliff, watching the soldiers.
 
Evan walked down into the hotel lounge, he was wearing his Seed Uniform, although because of his instructor status it was slightly different to the other's, as it's trimming was brighter. he looked around to see Galbadian soldiers and civilians in the lounge he also saw a Seed member stood by the chairs, and he also saw two making a swift exit. he walked over to the bar and ordered a drink, it was a pint of coke Evan wasn't in the mood for alcohol, he sat and sipped at his drink as though he would have done in Balamb
 
As Shadow and Luka continued to watch the soldiers, they noticed an instructor entered the hotel. "if the galbadian soldiers fight us now, they wouldn't stand a chance." Shadow nodded agreement, then beckoned back towards the hotel. "yeah we should head back. Maybe we can discuss our plans with those guys." Shadow nodded agreement, then backed away from the cliff. Luka's eyes widened in horror. "your not going to... it's a cliff man come on" Shadow nodded at him, then jumped down. "i'm going to kill myself later for this" Luka muttered under his breath, then jumped off after Shadow. After entering the town again after a round of curses and whispered yelling, they went back to the hotel and looked for the two SeeD members. Fayd was standing by their chairs, and the instructor was at the bar sipping a drink. Shadow and Luka walked by both of them, slipping each a note to meet them in their hotel room to discuss plans. then they both entered Shadow's room and proceeded to wait.
 
Evan pulled the note out of his pocket and read it 'meet us in room 105 to dsicuss what we should do next' Evan couldn't help but laugh, he signaled the bar maid over "hey gorgeous, you got a phone i could borrow" the bar maid smiled at Evan's comment and brought him a phone "thanks" Evan said as he winked at her, he phoned the front desk and was asked to be put through to room 105 as the person in the room answered Evan began talking "this is instructor Baxter, i am at the bar in my uniform if you are Seed members then come down to the bar if you want to talk" he then hung up and returned the phone to the barmaid he thanked her and then began chatting her up
 
Luka sighed. "doesn't he realize that if we talk at the bar we can be overheard? Shadow do me a favor and go persuade him." Shadow nodded, then got up and left the room with a package. He walked over to the instructor, then pulled out a grenade and threw it across the room. in the resulting BANG! the instructor turned around and during that time, Shadow slipped the drug into the cup. He then went back up to the room. "He'll be asleep sometime soon." Shadow said then got back on his bed, pulled out a sheet of paper, and began to write down the basics of their plan while Luka went downstairs to watch their friend.
 
Evan smirked as the grenade went off and the two Galbadian Soldiers saw his smile and ran over to him "you there, how dare you set off a grenade in this public place" Evan stood up and looked into the soldier's eyes "If it was me i would have been aiming for you" the second soldier stepped into Evan's view "fairly confidant for someone out numbered" Evan smirked "Fine, I'll leave" as he pushed past the two Soldiers he glanced over his shoulder "you two would be a waste of my time and abilities anyway"
