Balamb Garden

As he got off his seat, Arthvader walked towards Jimmy and the rest of the crew, who he saw playing the card game. He then took out his secret set of cards from his pocket.

Arthvader" Hey everyone. Is anyone intrested in a game?"
 
Damon, after reading and re-reading his magazine noticed that the train had already departed and they were fast approaching FH, since the old railway had been re-opened getting to FH was easy.

He noticed he was now alone so Damon went to search for more of the SeeDs, after searching a few compartments he met up with Jimmy, in a game with Quistis, Arthvader, in the process of challenging someone, Zell was also here and a girl he had not yet met, obviously had to be a SeeD.

Damon walked to an empty area of the couch and sat down again, his hair had masked his face from view, he closed his eyes slowly and started thinking of what to do when he opened them again and looked up.

"Hey Arth, I'll give you a game, think you can take me?"

Damon pulled a selection of his cards from his back pocket, this had levels 1, 2, 3 and 6 cards. He also had 1 ifrit card for special occasions. He then stood up and awaited Arthvader's reply.
 
Jimmy looked at Arthvader...

"Sure dude i need to train my card skills so i can start challenging the rest of the card club members...but first i'm going to get one of those 2 gil sandwiches."

And so Jimmy departed with Zell until they found the trolly with the sandwiches, after buying about 10 sandwiches each, they both started walking back to the cabinet.
 
Seeing how Damon wanted to challenge him to a TT Battle, Arthvader took out his best level 8 and 9 cards.

Arthvader "Ok, you're on, Damon."

Se started playing his Quezacotl card on the top left corner.

Arthvader "Your move, Damon."
 
"That time already? I was beginning to think it would never come."

The silence of his ride had been interrupted by a loud thumping on the ceiling above him; someone was on the outside of the train. Hebi Casually unlocked his door and strode past a group of people interacting and playing cards. There was no way to get outside the train without being noticed and creating a disturbance. He walked into the bathroom, locked the door, opened the window and jumped out.

"Float!"

Hebi was catapulted onto the top of the moving train a few cars back and landed on all fours to avoid making too much sound. Two cars ahead he saw six figures in tight, black suits tying down rope, getting ready to rappel. The sound of shattering Ceramic echoed In Hebi's ears, the men in black were too far to hear it. He back swung His Halberd, launching the man closest to him clear off the train and into the water. The other five whipped their heads around and stood ready to fight. The first one was caught off guard by a sneak attack; the other five would prove to be a bit more challenging.

"Sorry, but I didn't see a ticket."

Amelia was annoyed at the trolley ladies.
"What?! No hot dogs?" Amelia kind of yelled. "Oh, how I wish I was the headmaster..."
She went along with Jimmy and Zell, but Amelia kept on staring out the window, since the darkness overflew FH. It looked like it's only dark over FH, none other place around it.
"I think something's wrong," Amelia said, under her breath.
"Hey, Zell, until we arrive to FH, let's play a lil' game, huh?"
 
(If I get some cards wrong it is mainly due to me neglecting my ff8)Seeing his challenge accepted Damon selected his Ifrit card and placing it in the bottom right corner.

"Your move, don't be too long, haha".
 
Hebi drained the magic from one of his oponents to evaluate how strong they were, there was no high level magic so he scanned them all. It looked as though they were all average thieves with a bit of technology up their sleeves. They were classified as "lowly assassains" and Judging from the scan and the tone of their muscle structures, he could see that they were very agile. Hebi lunged foreward and came down with his halberd. He sliced one of his enemies down the chest only grazing him and sliced partly into the top of the car, making the sound of nails on a chalkboard. The other four surrounded him and Pounced. The sound of ripping paper filled the air and a chinese steel fan appeared in Hebi's right hand.

"AEROGA!"

The enemies around him were sent in all directions and only two managed to grab onto something and stay on. They regained their footing and began to take Hebi on in hand to hand combat.
 
Seeing the move Damon made, He followed up by placing his Diablos card on the bottom center spot, claiming the Ifrit card.

Arthvader "Don't think I'll let you go off easy."
 
"Don't think your Diablos card is safe".

Damon then pulled out his Thrustaevis card and placed it in the bottom left, claiming the Diablos card.

"Your move"...
 
Arthvader "I see. Ok, here's my next move."

Arthvader then played his Siren card in the middle left part of the field, claiming FFGuy's Thrustaevis.

Arthvader " It's your move now."
 
Amelia took out her deck of cards. She laid them onto the table and waited for Zell to take out his.
"Ok, y'all go first."
She waited until Zell picked out a Malboro card.
"Oh, dangnammit..." Amelia muttered.
She searched through her cards until she caught her Carbuncle.
"Teehee...", and then she put down her card to the board.
She and Zell talked while they played, mostly about how much they love hot dogs.
CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The train suddenly stopped.
All SeeD members please report to the entrance immedietly. The ride to FH is over, please report to the entrance immedietly.
"Ok, game over for now." Amelia picked up her deck and shuffled them into her pocket.
"What's going on?" Zell asked.
Amelia looked around for the entrance, and then said,"I think we're in FH, but this doesn't sound good..."
Zell and Amelia ran to the entrance, seeing that an instructor was there waiting for them.
They looked around to see if any other SeeD members were coming, but there were none.
"Maybe they're late..." Amelia said, under her breath.
 
Al had finished the Cola he got. And was sitting in his room, blindly looking out the window.

"We should be getting there soon" he said to himself.
He got up, a stretch was in order.
He started to stretch out, in the order where you stand, and reach up/backwards.
Suddenly, the train stopped, forcing Al to hit the floor, face first.

As he got up, he rubbed his forehead. "ow" he said in an annoyed tone.

The speakers crackled, and a voice stated; "The ride to FH is over, please report to the entrance immediately."

"Well then" Al thought. It starts
Al gut up, straightened his clothes, checked his sword, and started walking towards the entrance.
 
Evan felt the train come to a stop when his head bounced of the wall behind him he started rubbing the back of his head when he heard the announcement "The ride to FH is over, please report to the entrance immediately."
Full: "owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwch my head" he stood up "cuda god damn warned us they were gunna stop!"
he walked over to the cabin door rubbing his head, he opened the door and looked out
Full: "oh boy the train stopped suddenly"
 
The train suddenly stopped and Hebi jerked foreward, when he looked up the thieves were darting off into FH. He looked over the people exiting the train and casually jumped down and started to go in the direction the thieves were seen running. Suddenly hebi stopped, looked around and checked his watch.

"4:30? that's odd, night time already?"

He pulled out his palm piolet to make a side note but the screen was distorted and he couldn't read through the static on the screen. He studied the sky momentarily and then continued on his slow speed pursuit.

"hmph."
 
As soon as all the SeeD members arrived to the train entrance, the instructor looked worried.
"We have arrived at FH, but we're too late...too late...too..." the instructor's voice drowned into sobbing.
Amelia looked outside the train door.
There was fire blazing everywhere, through every building and tree.
Every citizen of FH were gone. Monsters were everywhere.
Amelia stared in horror. She spotted a note on a wall southwest of her, saying:
Revenge for what you have done to me. I have risen, stronger than before. Your forces cannot defeat me, a full army cannot defeat me.
I have risen from the dead.
No such power shall overwhelm me into death.
-Ultimecia
The letter was written in blood. Amelia stepped back, with tears in her eyes.
Even if Ultimecia was defeated by the 6 heroes, she rose.
Nothing else can stop her.
She was back.
Amelia turned around, looking at the horror of each SeeD member's face. They were horrified of what happened.
Amelia went inside the train and knelt down to the still-sobbing instructor.
"Do you want to tell them what to do, or shall I do it instead?"
The instructor replied, stuttering,"Y-y-y-yes..."
Amelia stood up, and took all the remaining courage in herself and ordered,"Kill every single monster you see. If you see an injured citizen, bring him/her to the train as immedietly as possible." Amelia paused for a second.
"I believe we are at war," Amelia said sadly,"Once more."
 
OOC: way to make twists in the RP ^^
-------------
As Al got out of the train, he expected a vacation looking place.
Though, this was far from the truth.

Instead, it was mayhem, monsters crawling everywhere, fires raging, and nor a living human being to see. beside from the SeeD's off course.

There where markings on a nearby wall, it was signed Ultimecia. And all knew what had to bed done.
Though, none did.

One of the new SeeD's took the initiative, Amelia Al thought that it was.

"I believe we are at war," Amelia said in a sad tone, "Once more."

This was far from any pep talk, but it did the job.
The different weapons where readied, And Al'umar's was no different.
He unsheathed his katana, the fires mirroring themselves in it.

Al'umar, had no idea of waiting, he chose a promising location, and ran off, in hopes of any survivors.

His target, was a large structure, perhaps a hospital, or a school, or something similar.

However, as he kicked down the remnants of a door, there where no humans to greet him, instead, he looked into the mouth, of a monster.
Immediately ducking, Al barely escaped the mouth, filled with sharp teeth.

Al landed on his back, and the creature, now resembling a tiger, in body. Turned, and again, aimed to ravage Al.

Al barely got on his feet, and managed to bring his sword right.
He stroke, his sword went through the mouth of the beast, and emerged on the other side.
Leaving the crimson liquid, over both Al, and the nearby surroundings.

Though, Al did not have the time to think about this, he continued into the building. Reading his sword, for the next attack.
 
As the train thudded to a halt Damon was knocked from his place and he quickly grabbed his cards when he heard the message from the speakers.

"We'll have to postpone this match, work to be done and all."

Placing his cards back in his pocket he ran for the door to the corridoor, he ran down it and emerged outside where the aftermath of a battle greeted him. Fires raged in the distance and blood dressed the walls of houses, now in ruins.

Taking Irkana from it's sheathe he started to walk through the ruins of the city, ignoring all else. After reaching the end of the area he saw a smallbuilding in the water, only connected by a bridge. Readying his blade in both hands he walked towards it, He heard a dull growl and began to slowly approach it. When he saw it, it imediately picked up his scent and pounced onto Damon's chest, he slashed at it's stomach before it landed and was immediately engulfed in it's blood. Aiming a stab into it's left side he managed to paralyse it slightly and pushed it off himself. The beast clawed at Damon but he jumped back before stabbing the wounded creature in the stomach.

Taking a small inspection of the creature he saw it's eyes has a strange glow which died quickly afterwards, it also started to shrink slightly, like it had been physically enhanced by some strange being. Damon then walked away from it and searched the house for survivors.
 
OOC: I have the FFVIII guide, so I can get in with monsters.
Shit. I can't find it anywhere. =(
I'm putting in alot of drama and action here to make it more...FFVIII-ish.
--------------------
Amelia stepped out of the train entrance and looked around.
Not a monster in sight...Amelia thought. Perhaps they are hiding...
Amelia took out Gemini from her waistbelt and walked through the rubble around her.
She walked around, readying her magic is it was an Adamantoise. She couldn't believe what happened to FH. The bright blue fishing sea turned black. Homes, once used to be a fishing trading hotspot, were in ruins. Even the sea was in flames, black with ashes.
Amelia caught something moving behind a large piece of rubble. She quickly checked if she had her Demolution Ammo in her Geminis, and sneaked up behind the rubble.
She saw 2 Armadodos devouring and fighting over a corpse.
Filthy scavengers, Amelia thought.
Amelia cocked her Geminis, and abruptly shot one of the Armadodo's leg, which disturbed them from their fight.
They turned around, growling.
"Oh, shit," Amelia muttered. "Two is too many for one..."
Amelia shot the Armadodo again, this time in the head, but not before the Armadodo dodged.
Amelia gave in her fury. She shot numerous bullets, which after the shot was hit, it gave a black non-elemental add-on damage.
She conjured a trick, shooting the Armadodo in front, then double-flipping high to land behind the second Armadodo, who was secretly devouring while fighting.
She laid her gun to the back of the eating-while-fighting Armadodo's head, and gave a shot. Red blood sprouted out of the Armadodo's head, falling down.
One eliminated, one to go, Amelia thought.
Amelia raised her hand to her forehead, chanting an ancient spell.
"Firna od lorki," She chanted. A red glow gleamed from her hand.
"FIRE!!!" She screamed, aiming at the Armadodo, who was stomping around, waiting for a move.
The fire shot from her hand, gleaming and shooting as fast as a shooting star. It caught the Armadodo's left hand, which quickly spreaded around its body. The Armadodo roared, burning down. A few moments later, its scream died down, into death.
Amelia continued on, spotting another creature, or so she thought it was. It was inside a building, holding a sword.
Amelia ran to the school-designed building, seeing that what she saw was not a monster, only one of her fellow SeeD member, Al.
"Need any help, Al?" Amelia shouted through the fire. She walked down avoiding the burning fire around her.
"I think it's time ya need a partner, you can't go anywhere alone." Amelia cocked her Geminis,raising them sideways in case of any unexpected monster attack.

AL had just taken down a few more of the things he would like to call Tigers.
However, they where far from one.
He had received a long cut, thought it went all the way over his chest, it was not shallow, and already stopped bleeding.

He heard a voice from behind, and readied to send an orb of light at the creature.

Luckily, the creature, which was Almelia, shouted out his name.
this was good, since the was able to stop the spell.

"Amelia?" Al shouted out. yes, he could use some help.
Yet, he felt that something was missing.
He shook off the feeling, this was not a time to stand Idle. and mess around.

"Sure thing Amelia, all help is welcome." He said as he turned back away from her.
"The ground floor seems clear, there should not be any survivors, not any beasts here" he said as he took one last look around.

"Lets check the higher floors" He said, as he started moving towards a nearby staircase, weapon ready, and alert.
