Hadrian laid on the ground, eyes on the ceiling as every muscle in his body shuddered in pain. However, it was nothing compared to what that Roderick had to go through.
Who in blazes thought that kid had it in him?
It looked like everyone was okay after all. The others--including the superiors--seemed to be taking their time to get up as well, or maybe it was just him. One thing was for sure though, amidst the rustling of flames from the T-rex's carcass, the place became quiet for a change. Hadrian hated this kind of silence.
He could see Deo at the corner of his eyes. Those were his bombs after all. Hadrian started to speak, and thought it was better if they just didn't talk about the kid. He was a SeeD. They were trained to die. It happens.
"Deo...you...what the hell did you put in those things?" he said, gesturing at the place. "A dozens of those bags could've blown up Garden...." Hadrian rested his head back. "We need more of those."

"Yeah well... I only have one more of those left." Deo said numbly as he searched through his sack and brought an identical one out. "'Course the kid had to take the bomb that takes me a month to make." He smiled and shook his head.
He was definently someone to admire...
"So I guess we just head in blindfolded now?" Deo looked up and peered farther into the training center.
"Roderick's death was not in vain. We will continue on into the training center to track down the girl," Quistis spoke in a tone of authority that nobody dared argue with. She stood up and dusted off her skirt before heading off farther into the training center.

Thanks Ani ^_^ I like sparkles
Seifer Almasy slowly dusted off his trench coat making sure that it was meticulously clean. Retrieving his Hyperion from the ground he looked down at Stella.
"You all right?" he asked her softly.
Stella looked up at him and took a deep breath suddenly realizing that she had just let herself be carried around like a sack of potatoes by the cutest guy ever. She was mortified. But then again she had just been carried around by the cutest guy ever. She was estactic.
"Yeah, yeah. Just a little shocked is all" Stella said climbing to her feet. Quickly she checked to make sure her guns were in order before dusting her own self off trying not to stare at Seifer.
"Good" he said putting a hand on her shoulder, "He just saved us all, brave kid"
"Yeah" Stella said with a nod glancing over at where the T-Rex had just been standing.
"Will you be all right to carry on?" Seifer asked sliding his hand away as he glanced over at Quistis.
"Of course, Sir" Stella responded smirking a little to herself.
"Please, call me Seifer" he said giving her a little wink before moving away to stand beside Quistis.

LOL! *rubs hands* >D K, mourning time is over... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Frowning slightly, Quistis elbowed Seifer as soon as he got beside her. "Yeah, yeah..." he muttered rolling his eyes. Quistis looked back at the SeeDs as soon as she remembered something. "I just want to make sure, is everyone ready for another battle? I'm having a bad feeling about this."
As everyone looked at the blonde Instructor in front, a silhouette of a little girl appeared among the thick smoke oozing from the dead T-rexaur---several feet behind Quistis, Selphie, and Seifer. Without any warning, the figure ran away. Imagination or not, there was no place she could've run further into other than the secret area.

Sho's eyes widened, and he pointed, shouting, "Creepy dark girl, straight ahead and into the secret area!"
Seifer smirked at Quistis, "I'm guessing that's a yes, boss, from the dye addict."
Sho's eyes narrowed, but he said nothing. The girl was getting away, and Seifer 'I-am-SO-badass-because-I-used-to-be-EVIL' Almasy was mouthing off.

I love Sho XD --------------------------------------
Hadrian clutched his side. Maybe he just imagined his cracked ribs, but it just felt like he cracked his ribs. Anyway, he spotted the girl as well before the hyperactive Sho beat him to it. What did he eat this morning?
"Hold on," Hadrian said gruffly. "Sho was just smoking sugar, but I think we need some healing spell or two here." He pointed at Jax's wounds as well.

"Hold on. Sho was just smoking sugar, but I think we need some healing spell or two here."
Sho scowled at Hadrian. "I'm not smoking ANYTHING, I just don't feel like whining about getting knocked down would help with the mission, Geeker Boy." Sho absently tugged at his ripped, destroyed shirt... *I loved this shirt...* "What happened, anyway, did you break a fingernail?"
"Wow.. I can FEEL the testosterone!" Selphie said.

"If I can interrupt for a second....I'm still bleeding...quite profusely actually...does anyone mind?" said Jax, as he gazed at the massive gash in his shoulder.
He grinned, "I'm all out of Cures."

Geeker boy....Hmph...touchy much?
"Whatever brat," Hadrian responded, moving his hand from his side. "I'm not about to burden the team later just cuz my "HP" isn't enough." He walked to where Quistis were.
"If I can interrupt for a second....I'm still bleeding...quite profusely actually...does anyone mind?" said Jax, as he gazed at the massive gash in his shoulder. "I'm all out of Cures."
"Why don't you just go ahead if you feel so tough?" Hadrian grinned mockingly at Sho as he stopped near Quistis and Selphie.
"My magic points are minimal so I'll only heal those who need it. Ridean..." Quistis called him. "Come here, your wound is first priority."
Sighing at the boys, Selphie casted a simple Cura on Hadrian. "Okay, you're fixed." She reached to muss his head. "Who else?" She looked at the other four SeeDs. "I ain't gonna ask twice now. We're in a hurry, understand?"
Seifer turned his back on the group and stared at the direction where the strange girl disappeared. His face turned stern.

Ahh I believe Rayden never got his weapons back? If he did just tell me to edit. ----------------------
Rayden strode to the T-Rex's carcass, staring mournfully down at it. The smoke was suffocating but he barely noticed it. Poking around, he tried to look for his fork and knife and finally found them amidst a huge pile of burnt T-Rex bones, a little stained with soot but still in usable condition. He remained stooped in front of the pile of ashes, bowing his head a little in respect for the young SeeD who just sacrificed himself.
Sorry man. I shouldn't have slighted you. You acted more SeeD than any of us did.
With a sobering shake, he stood up, turning back to the rest of the team who were gathered around Quistis and Selphie, apparantly curing the injured Jax and Hadrian.
"Who else?" Selphie looked at the other four SeeDs. "I ain't gonna ask twice now. We're in a hurry, understand?"
"I'm ready to go." Rayden said quietly. "The rest?"

"Let's do this" Stella said quietly as she slid her guns from her holsters staring straight ahead toward the secret area.

Seifer stole a sidelong glance at Stella and smirked. He popped his neck from side to side, then addressed the whole group. "Listen. I don't know if you noticed, but that girl we're after ain't human. Don't believe whatever kind of crap she shows you," he instructed, shifting his weight to the side as he rested Hyperion on his shoulder. "We're after the sword. If taking the sword means killing her, then we kill her--by all means. Got that?" He scowled.
Quistis stared at Seifer quietly. She didn't seem to like his method. "But you know Seifer, she's--"
"Can't wait to give some brat a spanking..." Seifer didn't let her speak and wielded Hyperion.
~*~
Once the group proceeds ahead, past the monster's carcass, and into a some kind of cave that used to be the secret area, a strange sensation suddenly hits them hard. The air feels like syrup, and it becomes harder to breathe. A blink is all it takes when their surrounding begins to change. Like a ripple in a water, the once disgusting training center transforms into a lush flowerfield and an open sunny sky. In a heartbeat, place becomes a utopia that only exists in a child's dream.
A soft humming coming from a girl is heard. All of a sudden, the group finds itself staring at a nice little cottage in the middle of the endless field. Pink curtains hang from the window making it impossible to see what's inside. A lone chimney lays on top of the hut, puffing a clear white smoke. The front door is partly open, inviting them to come in....

Weided out, Hadrian lurked his gaze around. A cute cozy cottage laid in front of them as if daring them to come inside. He hated to admit it, but the humming from the girl sounded relaxing. It was exactly how he would like his little sister to hum to him---if he ever had one that is.
He reached to pick a daffodil beside his feet. To his surprises, the flower was real. "What kind of illusion is this?" he mumbled, staring suspiciously at the flower.

"This is an illusion?" Deo asked in bewilderment. He had never seen the secret area before and didn't know what it was supposed to look like. Bending down to pick up a flower, he rubbed it with his thumb and could actually feel the texture of the petal between his fingers. "It's a damn good illusion then."
Deo crushed the flower. "That cottage looks like a trap just waiting for us. How 'bout I blow it up?"
"No," Seifer stopped Deo from reaching into his sack of bombs. "The sword could be in there." he turned to Hadrian, "Hey kid, you got any gear that could let us take a peek into that house? We're not gonna go in there blindfolded."

Hadrian snickered at Deo's suggestion. He really wondered what would happen if they blew it up. The cottage looked so peaceful and cozy. It wouldn't hurt to disrupt the peace.
Before he knew it, Seifer said no. "The sword could be in there." He turned to Hadrian, "Hey kid, you got any gear that could let us take a peek into that house? We're not gonna go in there blindfolded."
Hadrian creased his forehead. He almost forgot his handy sensor. "Oh...er, yeah..." he replied, "...just a sec." Taking out the device, his complacent expression turned sour. The graphic images showing on the screen of the sensor were all whacked and jumbled. They don't make sense at all.
"What the hell," Hadrian mouthed. "Something seems to be interfering, I can't pick up a decent coordinate of this place." He glanced at the others and frowned.
"Maybe blowing it up isn't such a bad idea...I mean, that girl can't expect us to just walk in there die, right?" He tried to laugh. "And besides, the sword...well...heh..." And he was out of ideas.
Maybe someone has a better idea? He slipped a sly glance at anyone who looked like who had another suggestion. Or not.
