Well, I did 7 and 9, so why didn't I do 8 as well. Beats me. :lol:

Anyway this is a fictionisation of the intro to the game, just before the big fight scene, and whatever happens elsewhere also counts. Again I'd rate this with PG-13, there is a higher level of violence and with adult rated allusions, but all minor nonetheless. I really should include the music track for the first part in here too. hmm. -_-

Challenge #4: The Rival Storm

"He's going out on his own now eh? Thinking he's the tough guy now does he?"
Seifer has been like this all morning, I shouldn't have told him. But it is my duty.
"Hey calm down man, y'know. Squall ain't got nothin on us, but he's still on good terms with us disciplinary committee right?"
"Oh. And now you are turning yellow on me are you Raijn, did I make a mistake in vouching for you."
"N-no way man, I was just sayin' it ain't worth gettin a fuss about, y'know?"
"WIMP!" <kick>
How did this spineless muscle man ever become my friend? Opposes our leader in one minute, the next he cowers like the mule he really is.
"Ow Ow ow, okay, okay! I hear he was headin' out to the Fire Cavern at about 8, if you hurry you may catch 'im."
"You should've said that in the first place Raijn, might have spared you the leg. <laugh>"
Oh, how I love him when he laughs like that, its too far inbetween. Suprisingly his rival is always end cause of it though, I wonder what makes them so close, and so distant.
"SEIFER. CAUTION."
"Caution? Do you think that little of me Fuijin"
Anger. And something else in that voice.
"... NEGATIVE."
And he merely nods and leaves. He should have scolded me. Damn you man. Damn you. Am I not enough the way I am for you?

I made a promise. Why?

"You okay Rinoa? You look stressed out."
"Was it the same dream, sir?"
"Enough Watts, Zone. I'm fine."
In truth I'm not. How can I be?
"Are you sure. You look pale."
"I said I'm fine!"
"Ouuuuchh! O-okay, okay. No need to shout!"
"Oh please get up Zone, and I know those pains are-"
"Rinoa, we must hurry. The Galbadians will not be far off from us, if we don't make it back to base."
"Relax Watts, you and I both know Timber better than the Galbadians ever could. We should be without conflict, at least until we get this information back to base."
"Yes sir."
For the last time Watts. It's meant to be ma'am.

You were there Seifer. But you were not the same. And I didn't love you anymore.

Why?
Squall? Who are you? Why am I searching for you? Why does my heart ache even though I haven't meet you?
"Everything alright Rinoa? You went out of phase on us again."
"No... No I'm fine, just... tired."
"Alright. Let's go."

Why do I feel like something bad is about to happen?
Please... don't kill each other.
I couldn't bear to see either of you die.
There is still more to do.
Someone... Is messing with us all.
Someone... Who is not of our time.

Ellone must be found.

Ellone must be protected.

No. She was a daughter to me. Just like her brother, and the rest of the children.

Do not let your feelings betray you! Do as you are ordered!

No! No I-

You were saying my dear...

I... I will obey.

This is the fourth time you have questioned me, Edea. Do not do so again, you are already away from Cetra. Back in civilisation.

Would you want me to make you weak, so the fiends can destroy you? Then find Ellone for themselves?

N-no, they have no reason to-

The SeeDs will be passing the test soon. Two will emerge, one will be our knight, the other his dark hounding assassin. The blades will cross, and cause a tempest in time.

I... I shall find him. The elder shall see.

Good.

The clouds are darkening.
And the birds are fleeing from the scene.
Someone... is here!


"You were trying to one up me now weren't you, Squall?"
"Out of the way Seifer. This is none of your business."
"Oh? Its always my business with you Squall. You and I are star-crossed rivals. We were born to fight each other to the day we die."

Great another fight.

"I don't have time for this."
"You'll make time! Heeyaargh!" <Gunblades clash>

Wow, that really brings back memories. I haven't 'see' those names in a long time. And, I love the ending you wrote. I think its a beautiful way to end the fic. :) Good job, Solar.

aw, you're making me go red Celestine :blush:

Glad you like it. :D

I'd like to give credit to www.ffshrine.org/ for providing these pictures of the submissions I've made for Final Fantasy they managed to somehow grab from the game's content.

And I'd also like to thank you Celestine for giving me the encouragement to get off my lazy ass and post this fic. So kuddos to you too. ^_^

And here's a little artwork to finish up, I just thought it was cute ^_^
I also decided to change the background but unless somebody complains, I've decided to also add in the original. Nomura Art, don't ask. ^_^
Sorry if they're a little large... It just didn't look right if I made'em smaller.

Beautiful! Rinoa was the first cosplay I ever did, and FF8 is my favorite Final Fantasy game ever. You did a fantastic job, Solar's Harper. *hugs a whole lot*
