Final Fantasy VII:The New Age

Her shoes made a clicking noise as she walked down the hallway.I wonder how Squalls handeling Edea's death...Rinoa sighed.She had hoped that she could learn more about being a soceress from her.From the way that her death sounded it seemed like an accident.They had recieved the news earlier this morning.They had said that she was trying to fix up the old house and that she had fallen off the roof and hit the rocks below.Rnoa flinched and stoped walking.It was a very grusome thought and one she'd rather not see in her mind.
Rinoa opened the door to the old headmaster's office.It was now Squall's due to the fact that Headmaster Cid had died just two years earlier.Such a good man.,she thought,and a great loss to all of us.She walked in slowly and closed the door behind her.When she turned around she saw that he was sitting at the desk with his head in his hands.She walked over twords him, her steps muffled by the carpet.As she got closer Squall lifted up his head and stood up."Rinoa...",he said as he walked to the side of the desk,"I didn't hear you come in.When did you get back?"
"I just heard.I came straight back.",her face was solemn,"I was with Quistis at the Research Facility.How are you coping?" She leaned twords him and put her hand on his cheast.He put his hand on hers and smiled weakly.
"I'm doing fine.", he said as heput his hand down.He walked twords the window and stared out,"I just want to visit the place for a while."
Rinoa clapped her hands and smiled,"Well then, let's go!" She grabbed his hand and pulled him twords the door.
"Bu..But how?"Squall asked, surprised,"Selphie's on a mission and she's the only one that can drive the Ranganark."
Rinoa looked at him and smiled as they got in the elevator," Selphie gave me a couple lessons before she left."Rinoa pressed a button that took them to the newly added hanger."Just wait!"
Uh-oh...,thought Squall,as the elevator climbed upward,I'm in for a rough ride..

[Joe]

I woke up and looked out the window we are still at sea.

Joe: This place is so boring

I jumped in the shower and then put on my SeeD uniform.I walked out of my Dorm and went to the Libarey.Is peaceful in their I grabbed the Weapons monthly and sat down.Their was an article about a new weapon being developed in Timber.You would think that is the best place to build with all the train systems.I also saw that Presdent Kiros is developimg it for future operations.I don't know much about it I know that its also gonna be called Laguna.Sqaulls Father I wonder if he knows about this....I put the magazine back and walked out of the Libaery.

Rinoa was in the pilot seat of the Ranganark.It was almost time for take off.Squall was standing behind her, making sure she knew the controls.
"Squall, I told you I already know the controls!"She groaned,"Now.Sit.Down." She took a deep breath and sighed.Truth was the only controls that she knew were the ignition,the brakes and the steering.But thats all that you need to fly, right..?

"How can anything be this boring", Dyran mumbled. He walked to the window, but didn't see anything. Only horizont. There were birds flying by and the wind whistled. Dyran wasn't a lazy one. He was always in trouble because of his short temper.
"I can't stand this anymore", he thought and walked out of the room.

Balamb Garden. The cradle of peace and silence. He didn't hear any sounds. The fountain was slowly stopping, to reload it's water tank. Dyran's shoes made a quiet and tapping noice in each step. He made his way into the Cafeteria.
" Can I have a Hot Dog, please", he asked. "Sorry, we're out of them", the waiter apologized. Dyran sighed and went back to the Hallway.

In Hallway he met he's instructor Mr. Helms. "How are you today, sir" Dyran asked. "What? Where? Oh, Dyran! I'm so busy. Let's talk later", Mr. Helms said nervously."As you want, sir"Dyran said. "Oh, could you take this" Mr. Helms said to Dyran. "What is it" He asked. "It's your next assignment. You're going to Timber. You can read the details in that paper"

Dyran enjoyed walking very much, especially in Balamb, but this time he got tired of it and went back to his dorm.

[Joe]

As I walked out a Instructer came to me.His name was Mr Helm he walked up to me.

Mr Helms: Hello Joe here I can't talk this is your next assinment.

Joe: Thank you sir

Mr Helms: You will be going to Timber with Dyran.

Joe: alright anyone else going sir.

Mr Helms :I don't know yet but we'll see have a nice day.

He ran off with his papers in his hands.

Joe: I love Timber

I was walking to my dorm I saw Dyran his dorm was next to mine he stopped and saw the paper in my hand.

Dyran: So you got one to Joe.

Joe: yep I guess we are going to Timber

The Jelleye fell to the floor, split in half at the center. Abel flicked his sword, sending the accumulated green ooze flying onto a nearby bush. He left the forest and looked to the south, where the lighthouse stood. A group of paramedics, presumably White SeeDs, were bustling around the house next to it. As Abel approached, one of the men ran up to him.

"You there! How long have you been here? What do you know about this?!" It seemed like something terribly important had happened, but Abel was clueless.

"Sorry," he replied with a shrug. "I've been up north for three days. Is something wrong?"

The SeeD looked utterly shocked. "Mistress Edea. She is..." Abel's pupils contracted sharply. He could tell from the tone of a person's voice when someone dear to them had died. And even a wanderer like Abel knew Edea. He looked at the ground. "Sorry, you must be deeply troubled. Is there anything I can do?"

"...No. No, just leave us with our grief." The SeeD walked away solemly. Abel sighed, and perched leaned against a nearby rock, looking over at the house and the buzz of activity. Grief was a bad thing to dwell on too much. He knew that from experience. He resolved to stick around; even a warrior could be easily ambushed by monsters when grieved.

[cetra_aeris]

As they got closer the mood got darker.It was almost like there was a shadow across Squall's face.Edea had been like a mother to him when he was young.After finding out who his parents were and learning that now both were dead could leave most people devestated.Rinoa knew the feeling that kind of loss could leave.She looked over at him.She knew he felt the loss and would probably not want anyone to know it.he was strong and she admired him for it.
He was staring straight ahead like he was looking for something.She looked back at the navagation system.They were almost there.Only a couple more minutes remained and then they would land."Squall.."she said quietly,"we're almost there.It won't be much longer now."Squall didn't move but simply said,"I doubt we'll find anything.It might have been an accident after all.."They had talked about htis before.Thought maybe that someone had killed her,but in truth the matron Edea had no enimies,so it was very unlikely.
"Well, that's okay.I mean, if nothing else we can always make repairs in her honor."
"No.."
"Why not?"
"Damn it Rinoa!I dont want that place to become some sort of tourist attraction!Not like how the Research Center has until the break down!In fact I'm glad it broke down!"
Rinoa sighed."Not a tourist attraction..A memorial for the people she loved to visit."She looked at him for a minute,"A..living memory."Squall put his head in his hands."I'm sorry..",he whispered,"It's just that..afer all this I didn't want it to end up like that."He sighed.Rinoa turned back to the navagation."It's O.K."she said,"Lets just go see how the White SeeDs are doing."She smiled and hit the speed.The Ranganark zoomed off, going about 130mph.

" Darkness... It was the only thing Dyran saw. Bats were flying towards him with their sharp teeth. Dyran had to face it. There was nobody there to help him.... He pulled out his sword and was ready to attack. But the pain was too big. The inside pain of Dyran grew bigger and bigger until he was ready to burst. He dropped his sword and falled in to the darkness..."

Dyran woke up. He was sweaty and puffed. "Okay, calm down. It was just a dream" Dyran said to himself. He looked out of the window and saw that the sun was rising. He made his on to the closet and opened it. He put his SeeD uniform on and walked out of the room.

As the sun was rising, so was the whole Balamb Garden. Cafeteria was full of students, young and old. But eating wasn't in Dyran's mind. The only thing he thought about was Timber.

On his way to meet the person who sends he and his partner to Timber, he ran into Joe.

" There you are. I've been looking for you. Come on, let's go" Joe said.

They walked to the Front Gate where they met the assistant.
" Have you both prepared" Assistant asked. Both guys mumbled something and the Assistant took it as yes. " Here are your money for the mission." he gave Joe 10 000 gils. " Now we're talking" Dyran said.

" Let's go" Joe shouted. They walked out of the Front Door. Timber was waiting for them...

[Donnington]

"Oh bugg..."
Crowe was propelled across the plains. He slid to a stop.
With his mind spinning and hans shaking he rose to his feet.
His weapon lay at the feet of the swaying Ochu. Raising it's over sized feet it crushed Crowes weapon.
sigh
Crowe began to run towards the Ochu firing blizzard after blizzard, ducking and weaving under its branches.
"Aaaarrgrhhhh"


Crowe awoke in small bed, he tried to sit up.
"Oh, don't move!" Came a voice from behind. "Your not well yet."
"Where am I?" Murmered Crowe.
"Timber. I saw you from the train and got them to stop it." She walked over to the bed. "You were laying next to a dead Ochu."
Crowe lay back and smiled.

[Lestat]

Abel stayed exactly where he was. It wasn't that he was expecting something to attack, but in his experience you could never know anything for sure. It wasn't long before something happened though. It started as a far-off whining, then a rush of powerful wind as a huge aircraft whizzed overhead, so low that it actually uprooted a few trees. He just managed to grab the rock in time.

Shooting out to sea, the craft just about managed to turn around and slow down, landing rather shakily not too far from the house. Eventually a landing ramp extended and two people emerged. One he recognised for sure. He was about to walk over, but stopped himself as he realised Squall would be too grieved to want to talk. He leaned back against the rock, brushing his shorter ponytail back over his shoulder.

[Joe]

The garden was infront of Balamb apperently they wanted me and Dyran to take the train in.We got off the garden and walked threw Balamb.Their were alot of fishing boats its fishing season their.I had My Gunblade strapped to my side.Dyrans sword was somewhere I could not see were he put it but he had it.

Joe: Our train leaves in about a half hour what do ya wanna do.

Dyran: Not sure.

I saw a hotdog stand I walked over and bought two hotdogs.

Joe: Dyran here

I handed him a HotDog

Dyran: I'm not hungry

Joe: Come on these are good better then the gardens.

Dyran: I'll try it

He ate the whole thing in almost one bite.

Joe: You must of been hungry anyway come on lets get going.

Dyran: Right

We walked to the Train Station and got on the train we had the SeeD Section to our selfs.

Joe: Do you know what the mission is Dyran

He looked up at me

[cetra_aeris]

As Rinoa and Squall walked twords the lighthouse she caught a glimpse of someone by a rock not far away.She couldn't see who it was and thought nothing of it.As they neared the house she looked at Squall,"I'll be in the meadow if you need me,okay?"
Squall nodded and walked into the house.Rinoa looked at the place.It had already started to look better and most of it was fixed.The roof as far as she could see was compleatly repaired.She sighed and wondered how the White SeeDs were handeling it.They too were trying to find out what happened.She watched for a few minutes as they moved around the area.She walked to the meadow and was meet by her faithfull friend Angelo.Rinoa bent down and pet him.She had left him as company for Edea while she was at the light house."Good boy.",she said,petting his ears,"Your taking this pretty hard too, huh?"Angelo responed with a low whine and layed down.Rinoa looked up at the sky and watched as some of the petals flew on the wind.

It was too much. It was fine for Abel to be quiet and slightly sombre most of the time, but he couldn't stand it when others behaved the same way. He didn't want to watch, but there was no way to go anywhere else. The nearby meadow always cheered him a bit though, so he resolved to stay there for a while, looking away from all that was going on.

It seemed he wasn't alone in these thoughts. The woman who accompanied Squall was also there, and he kicked himself for not realising it was Rinoa. He'd heard plenty about her, but the two had never met. The dog that also shared the meadow with them trotted over, anxious to examine the newcomer. Abel squatted down and stroked it's head, an action countered by a tentative licking of Abel's fingers. He allowed himself a small smile, scratched behind the dog's ears and stood up. Rinoa was showing as much interest as her pet, although she hadn't moved. Abel banished the smile from his lips, and raised his hand slightly in greeting.

"Sorry to hear the news. You must be very sad." THe dog began nuzzling his leg, and looking down, he took the opportunity to shift to a more comfortable topic. "....Nice dog. Is he yours?"
