    Ritz: what is this…?

    Reona: this was your fathers blade…. The Gunblade… this was chosened by a few SeeD students…. Your father was one of the few who were chosened by one of these blades

    Ritz: the Gunblade…. I heard that they wield such power… I never knew they would still exist….

    Reona: well your father wanted me to give this to you when you’re ready

    Ritz: where did father actually go?

    Reona: that I do not know…. But we hope that he comes back safely…

    Ritz: …..

    Reona: don’t thank me… thank your father…

    Ritz: father…?

    Heh….

    The next morning Ritz got up and prepared her things and starts to run at the Academy

    Will: Ritz! Just in time! Bad news!

    Ritz: what?

    Will: it seems like theres just going to be about ten of us!

    Ritz: what?!

    Will: yeah that’s right… theres just gonna be ten of us since all of the other candidates signed up for Zieds forces

    Ritz: so whos going to be the leader of this squad?

    Will: no one…

    Ritz: I see…

    Will: even so we didn’t came up with a battle plan and such

    Ritz: this is just crazy all of the other candidates signed up for Zied forces?!

    Will: well I know its unfair…. But…. We can’t change that… its SeeD academies rules… they sign up for it… they’re in it…

    Ritz: ….

    They got onto the bus and went to the shore where the ships are

    Will: alright we’re here… this is going to be our last exam… farewell home…

    Ritz: you said if we stick together we’ll be alright didn’t you?
    Will: oh that? That’s just a saying from my dad

    Ritz: no I think your dads words are right…

    Will: you really do think so?

    Ritz: I am….

    Will: what those guys don’t think so

    Ritz: don’t worry they’ll relise something… lets finish this…

    Will: heh… right!

    They clutched their hands to each other and went on to the submarine

    Will: alright guys! This is going to be our last exam! If we stick together we don’t lose!

    Student: but theres too many of em! How are we going to win?!

    Will: with the help of Ritz!

    Student: but she was barely to draw with Zied!

    Will: look! I know all of you are scared! But we have no chocie to fight…. Haven’t we all been picked on by Zied long enough?! haven’t we all been beatend up by Zied long enough?! its time that we fight!

    Student: ye… yeah! You know what! I think I’m up to it! Thanks Will!

    Will: and guys! Zied may be tough! She does have an army full of SeeD academies! But still! She still doesn’t have the power fo whip us all out! We’ll make it for sure! We’re SeeD academy students! We won’t lsoe!

    The students cheered on but except for Ritz

    Will: Ritz?

    Ritz: yeah…

    Will: great… we’ll make it for sure!

    The boat finally reachs to shore and the students got off and reachs up top of the green hill and sees Zieds army

    Student: so this is it…

    Will: Erona…. You up for it?

    Erona: fine! I’ll stick by everyoens side no matter the cost!

    Will: great! Ritz! This is it! Its our dream right?

    Ritz: dream…..?

    Will: yeah… this is all of our dreams….

    Ritz: I guess so…

    Will: alright! Lets fight on! Till we fulfill our dreams!

    Erona: for our forefathers…

    Will: for our dreams!

    Ritz: for our fates….

    Zied: heh… so this is it….? What a waste… attack them at full charge!

    Will: lets go!

    Ritz: alright… Gunblade… show me what kind of power you wield just like what father did…

    Erona: FOR MY FOREFATHERS SAKE!

    CHARGE!

    The ten of the students starts to run up to them all as Zieds forces ran to them as Zied smiled cheerfully and stares at Ritz as she runs up to her

    Ritz: RAHH!!!!

    She slashed the studetns who were in her way and ran to Zied

    Zied: what kind of blade is that?! Don’t tell me that’s the Gunblade!

    Ritz: I have wield many blades that you have shattered! But this time! My fathers blade will carry me on till I reach to my death!!!

    Pulled out her large blade and blocked her attack

    Ritz: what?!

    Zied: that’s right! I’ve got myself a bigger blade! A large one! Its caleld a Claymore! You think you can stop me with just a Gunblade?!

    Ritz: I’ll show you how a Gunblade works!

    She jumped towards her and swinged her blade against her and did a triple swing

    Meanwhile at Will’s side he was too busy fighting with his fists as he did a tornado kick

    Will: ah! Whos next?!

    Student: I’ll be your opponent…

    Will: what?! No way!

    Its..

    WONJI!

    Wonji: I’m an expert in hand to hand combat… you think you can beat me?

    Will: Wonji… heh! I’ve been waiting for this a long time! Lets go Wonji! I’m sick of you dragging me around these days!

    WIND FIST!

    He went for a powerful punch but then suddenly the power which hwas unleashed from his fist was sucked into Wonji’s body

    Wonji: your Chi is impressive… but its not strong enough by my techniques… let me show you how its done boy….

    FLAMING STRIKE!!!!

    Will: WHAT THE?! AHH!!!!

    Later on at Erona’s side she was unleashing some of her magic

    Erona: ah! we can hold out much longer like this…

    Student: oy…. You must be Erona right? A mage student…. Heh… your magic seems impressive… you must be a bit well trained don’t you think?

    Erona: ahh…! What is this..? power which is connecting me?

    Student: I’m over here… your weak… such a weak mage student… heh… no wonder they call you weqakling mage… the Erona Forefathers…… must be the last member of the family aren’t you?

    Erona: ye.. yes…

    Student: well… I guess I can just blow you out of your miserable! You must be the last one right?! I guess I can just kill the last member of FOREFATHERS!

    She appeared right in front of her as she unleashed powerful dark magic with dark wings

    Erona: …..

    Later on as Ritz kept on fighting she was badly injured and was scarred nearly to death

    Ritz: ah….

    Zied: your stronger than I thought you would be! But not strong enough Ritz Leonheart! Do you know how many people I’ve defeated oer the decades when I first started here?! I was like a legend just like Seifer himself!

    Ritz: Zied… yoru strong.. you’ve have defeated many people in combat and on the field! You’ve ordered us around! Pushed us around as we’re your master! But know this that you have no power to over come us!

    Zied: heh! Words don’t over come me neither Ritz…

    Ritz: well let me tell you something! That… we are all human! And humans can over come power! We can over come the darkness which are lurking in our fates! Not everyone has power Zied!

    Zied: stop your blabbling! Cause I’m about to finish you off!

    They both ran up to eachother but then suddenly Zied finally tooked the chance to kill her and scrapped her torso

    Ritz: gah…

    Flashback

    Remember…. Ritz… even if you don’t have the power… you will always have your own fate to become whatever you want to be… don’t let fate nor darkness choose… it is your choice to choose…. Ritz.. is it to give up? Or willingly to take up to that chance to fullfil your dream…

    You are… Ritz Leonheart…

    Ritz: I am… Ritz Leonheart! I won’t give up!

    Zied: what?!

    She ran up to her and unleashed powerful blows against her

    Meanwhile at Wills section

    Will: NGAH! RYA! AH!

    Wonji kept on using him like a punching bag and slammed her him to the floor

    Will: ahh….

    Flashback

    Will: AH!

    Zied: heh… weak again Will…. Wonji finish him off

    Wonji: got it…

    He went for the kill and punched him hard

    Ahh… what was I back there…? I remember back then when iw as with my little sister playing with our mum and dad then suddenly… they died from a car crash… my sister was in a coma with her legs broked but for me… the only thing hurt was my heart… we lost everything… but we didn’t lose ourselves… so I joined SeeD academy to become stronger… to get everyhting back… but I just can’t… because mum and dad are gone… but still… I will become strong for them and for my sister… I will..

    End of flashback

    Will: I will….

    He got up with such strong proud and looked up to Wonji

    Will: I won’t let you defeat me again this time! I’m going to defeat you fair and square! TORNADO FIST!!!!!!

    Wonji: that won’t work on me boy!

    Huh what the?!

    He looked up the sky and saw Will

    Will: WIND HEAL KICK!!!!!!

    He went to his head and starts to flip back to his chin

    Wonji: AHH!!!!

    Will: heh! See that sis! I won!

    Later on at Erona’s section

    Erona: AH! NGAH! AHH!!!!

    Student: full! Your not fit to be a mage!

    Erona: ahh…
