Chapter 1

It was a clear night. Snow lays clean upon the vast fields that seem void of life. There is a compound not far away. Everything seems calm and still. Then suddenly, something seems to fall from the sky. The noise of its passage tears through the calm. The fiery objects crashes causing the land to shake. Then all is silent once again. Many years pass.

Once again, it was winter in northern continent. The SeeD was there to gather data for Balamb Garden. The outpost was a cramped and never ending maze like series of hallways. passageways and doors. The place was not pretty but well built. There was a laboratory, infirmary, kitchen, and mess hall. There were storage rooms, sleeping quarters and even a recreational hall. The Rec hall has many doorways which led off to different places of the compound. The whole complex had their own special generators used for power and heat. There was also a chocobo stable that was also heated.

The Complex was led by Squall Lionheart. This was a joint project with Balamb Garden and Eshtar. Squall choose with care whom he would bring along. Meanwhile Laguna invited himself into the group, Kiros and Ward coming along to keep an eye on him. For the first few months things were indeed quiet.

Today startes like any other day, though soon the quiet is broken. A distance from the compound is a helicopter flies across the sky. Inside is being piloted by two men. One in red armor and the other in blue.

Ward and Kiros are standing outside, some thirty yards from the building letting go a large red balloon. Not far is Zell, fidgeting with a snow mobile. It was the sound ot the helicopter that that draws their attention.

The helicopter flies towards the compound. It chases a yellow moving blur that they figure is a chocobo. What alarms them is the sound of machine gun fire. The three guys look at each other puzzled. Not as if chocobos are dangerous monsters. The helicopter lands roughly almost ontop of the chocobo that squawks in fear, till it flips, blades breaking off as it lands upside down. The man in red rolls out of the helicopter a second before it explodes. The other man is not as lucky.

This brings several others outside. Not everyday things explode. The chocobo hides behind Ward and Kiros. The crash survivor has a crazed look upon his face as he chases after the bird. The chocobo hiding its head in Ward’s armpit. Then the stranger fires at them without hesitation, making them jump. Ward mouths, ‘ what the hell?!’ as he can’t talk.

The crazed strange keeps firing, One bullet hits the chocobo. Zell dove for cover for the idea of being shot was not high on his list . Kiros is hit in the arm while diving for safety. Ward helps pull him out of further aim. The stranger never ceases his relentless attack and only pauses to reload.

Among them that came out was the group leader, Squall. Squall pulls out his gunblade and fired at the stranger. The stranger’s head is nearly blown off his neck, leaving his dead body to topple to the snow.

Zell, “ Holy cow!”

Squall, “ Check the chopper remains, Zell. “

Zell, “ Got you boss!”

It is obvious the pilot is a goner but still they put the fire out. Seifer and Squall are left to deal with the other body.

Squall, “ He is the former Major Biggs. “

Seifer nods as he heard the man was reassigned to some frozen outpost. Like always he dragged his lackey Wedge with him. Didn’t need to know much further on the pilot. The bodies are brought inside to the medical ward and the wounded are tended. For Seifer, he begins to wonder why they were shooting at a chocobo. Maybe cabin fever?

Seifer, “ He came from the Galbadian base. “

Squall, “ It must be closer then we realized. But How far?”

Zell, “ Eighty Kilos to the south, I think... “

Squall, “ So close and yet we haven’t seen a soul till today. “

Squall looks to Zell who has been repairing the snowmobile. Sitting next to Zell was Ward who made the boxing champ look very puny.

Squall, “ Did you heard what Biggs was shouting?”

Zell, “ I was too busy dodging gun fire!”

Ward just shrugs as he also was quite distracted. Quistis is just done checking the wrapping on Kiros’ leg. Kiros was anything but pleased to be the hurt one. Selphie keeps busy tending to the chocobo she has named Bob.

Kiros, “ What were they doing flying so reckless and shooting at a chocobo?”

Quistis, “ It could be cabin fever. “

Squall, “ I think its time we try to contact the other base.”
