I'm Here... To Pursuit Someone [P]

[templier90]

Calmly walks into the great hall, the young captain looks around himself that he is a place called Balamb Garden, yet he knows that he is some other world after he leave Cocoon in order to pursuit a danger fugitive. Balamb Garden is an academy which trained mercenaries known as "SeeDs" in the future, an odd name. Slides his hair back for a moment, students of the academy were everywhere and they look at Templar with puzzled thought. A stranger they think? But in reality, Templar is member of counter-terrorist unit in his world.

He's alone on this one, often went solo in several missions and lone wolf, like his old friend Lightning. Well it's just sad that Lightning didn't come along with him to this world, for making many excuses such as a lot of work, or mostly, spends her time with her little sister Serah. Rubs his neck for a moment, two female students walk past Templar while look at him, and then giggles for a moment. ".... Too handsome..." Templar smirks to himself as he keeps on walking down the hall.

Approaching the counter in front of him, Templar takes off his bomber jacket and look at the students who in the counter. Before he could start, the students were steps back a bit as they saw Templar's holstered pistols in his shoulder holsters, they thought that what the hell an armed man doing here? "Whoa, wait... I'm here not to cause some trouble, I'm Templar Mactavish... member of counter-terrorist unit and I'm here to see your headmaster? There's some urgent news that I need to inform him." Templar nods to the students with his smile, hope things went well.

[Squall Leonhart]

Squall Leonhart was in the library hiding from everyone. He needed some time alone to clear his thoughts. He knew that this would be the last place anyone would look for him. And if they were to find him he could pretend that his mind was lost amongst the pages of the book he held in his lap. He thought that mentioning Ultimecia to everyone in the Garden would cause chaos, but no. They didn’t share the same fear as Squall. They just went about their everyday business, believing that Squall and company would get rid of the sorceress once again. People believed in him now. He didn’t want that. They praise you when you do something great and welcome you with open arms. But what if Squall failed this time? They would curse him and cast himself aside.

He placed his elbows on the table, dropping his face into his hands. As if the threat of Ultimecia wasn’t enough, Squall was also worried about this world hopping. Did it have consequences? What if there was a being out there more powerful than Ultimecia and it happen to stumble across this world? This whole situation was troublesome. But then Squall heard a familiar voice. It was Xu telling him that some strange guy was at the main desk asking for him. Another problem… Great. Still, Squall stood to his feet and made his way to the front desk.

Once he arrived, Squall looked the man up and down for a moment. Was he a bounty hunter or something? ”State your business.” Squall said, waiting for the man to respond. Squall’s hand was resting on the hilt of his gunblade just in case the man tried something.

[templier90]

After a brief of waiting, Templar senses that someone comes to him from behind, slightly turns around 180 degree and finally he saw a rather young man with a scar across his face, and a gunblade besides his waist. ".... Don't tell me that this lad is the headmaster of the school?" Templar thinks and shrugs to himself as been questioned by the man.

"You must be the headmaster of Balamb Garden? I'm Captain Mactavish... from a counter-terrorist unit in a world known as Cocoon. I'm here to inform you that a dangerous and wanted fugitive comes to your world which means... I'm here to pursuit him and bring him back, dead or alive."

Yep, a wanted fugitive and explosive madman who bombed several locations around Cocoon, kill and wounded several civilians. Been apprehended by Templar and his team during their raid in the terrorist's safehouse, but it was really hard as hell as the terrorist set traps everywhere, to buy his time to escape but still, been captured. Now the damn son of a bitch went loose and escapes to this world and now, he's in this school, hiding.

"For my intel... he's hiding in your school, blended himself among your students... I fear that this location is his next target to bombed. Please, I need your co-operation. I need all your surveillance camera records, regardless locations and time as long as I found him. Sooner after we found him, we will apprehend him in the same time, lethal action will be authorized if he went too far." Templar nods to the headmaster as he wears on his jacket, and crosses his arms onto his chest.

[Squall Leonhart]

As Templar introduced himself, Squall nodded. "Squall Leonhart." And that was all the Headmaster said for now. He notice that Templar said he was Cocoon. This was very ironic since Seifer had just came from that world. So was this terrorist Ultimecia? No, if they knew what she was capable of they would have sent more than one person. But it couldn't be Ultimecia he was speaking about. Templar spoke of a male and Ultimecia was clearly a female.

"I appreciate the warning," Squall said, "but since he's in my world, since he's in my Garden this is a problem we'll deal with. Once we catch him we'll return him to your custody." Sqaull stared at the man. Templar should understand that Sqaull couldn't just allow him to see all their survelliance. Therewaspeople out there did hate Gardens and SeeDs. "I apologize for wasting your time..."

[templier90]

Perhaps this man isn't know what or who is he dealing with, and now he apologizes for wasting his time? Templar wouldn't go back to Cocoon with empty hands and if he do, again his team will becomes laughing matter of PSICOM. Mercenaries...., Templar thought and he stares coldly at Squall, while still crossed his arms on the chest.

"Seriously Leonhart, you really have no idea who are you dealing with. This man already bombed several locations around my world, killing and wounding thousands of innocents single-handed. Even elite forces and mercenaries who have been hired by the government, unable to capture him and some of them been killed, that's why we come in."

Interestingly by telling Leonhart's personality, he's reminding Templar of someone, someone who is really straight-forward and cold persona; Lightning. That man must be captured or killed if necessary, to day. "We both know that wasting our time and breath here isn't worth it so I'll make it short," Templar scratches his hair for a moment before continue, "Either we co-operate to get this bastard in one go... or I get him by force, your call." Templar move his fingers for a moment if the headmaster disagrees the first option and tries anything to stop him, a non-lethal fight will be ensued.

[Squall Leonhart]

Squall had a pretty dull expression on his face as Templar continued to speak. He didn’t have time for this ‘terrorist’. He had a bigger problem to deal with; Ultimecia. He sighed, placing his hand on his forehead for a moment. ”Look Captain Mactavish. I just can’t take your word. For all I know, you could be this terrorist that you’re speaking of,” Squall replied, ”If you’re who you say you are, than you of all people should understand why I just can’t let some unknown soldier walk around this place, watching surveillance.” It was crazy! This guy coming from an unknown world, thinking he was just going to waltz in here.

Besides, this terrorist wouldn’t have been able to get into the Garden. Gardens had updated their security systems. He would need an Garden ID and the system scanned their finger prints. All in all, it would have close to impossible for the guy to get in here unless he had some type of special abilities. Maybe this Cocoon needed better elite forces and mercenaries. I have a feeling that… He’s not just going to leave…

Okay, so now this Templar was threatening him. Why did this happen to him all the time? Squall just continued to stare at Templar with that same dull expression. It was apparent that Squall wasn’t taking his threat seriously. ”Again, I apologize for wasting your time Captain Mactavish,” Squall said, ”Enjoy your stay in Balamb…” With that said, Squall pointed to the exit with his other hand still resting upon the Gunblade’s hilt. It was a good thing they were stationed at Balamb for a while or Templar would have had a long swim to get to land.

[templier90]

[OOC: Don't you think we should invite others like Selphie etc?]


"... Very well, I leave things to Balamb Garden," Templar deeply sighs while places his palm onto his forehead. Things around here were out of control, out of his control actually. His intimidation were rather unsuccessful, Templar hopes that he is more persuasive and intimidate than his mentor Bishop, who prefers negotiate with terrorists otherwise bullets and firearms is her second choice of talking over.

"Here's the physical appearance and details of the terrorist," Templar grabs out his small and light file, copped with Top-Secret & Classified and inside there's the profile of the terrorist, a whole bunch of words that Leonhart going to read later on. Slightly smirk across his face, Templar chuckles for a moment as he look at Leonhart, "You know, your straightforward and serious personality reminds me of an good old friend and fighting comrade of mine in my world, thus she wields gunblade as her weapon, but not that big like yours." Templar points his finger at Leonhart's gunblade, and the person he speaks is Lightning Farron, again. If she's around here and hears Templar comments and boasts about her, no doubt that Lightning will slaps his back and says, "Shut up, Mactavish."

Looks around his surroundings, the Balamb Garden slightly reminds Templar of Cocoon. The structures, the architectures, everything is really almost as same as in Cocoon, makes himself like he is in his own homeworld. "I say that Balamb Garden is really reminds me of my homeworld, a place of beauty and paradise.... Nice place I shall compliment." Templar slightly smiles toward Leonhart, want to be acquaintances with him, better than open hostile at each other.

[Squall Leonhart]

”Thank you Captain Mactavish,” Squall responded, ”Enjoy your stay in our world.” Maybe it was in Leonhart’s best interest to get to know this man. If he was who he said he was than Squall could really use his help once Squall and the party arrived on Cocoon. He took the information from Templar as he handed it to him. As he compared him to someone else Squall just nodded. This was a first. No one had ever compared him to anyone. He was clearly one of a kind of this world.

He sighed, hoping that he wasn’t going to regret what he was about to say. ”Come on… If you try anything I’ll personally take care of you.” He held out his hand, waiting for the man to hand over his weapons. Of course Squall couldn’t have him walking around armed. At least not until the man gained Squall’s trust. He figured why he was here he would get some information out of Templar. ”You said you were from Cocoon?” Squall asked, ”Recently was there an attack by a sorceress… Ultimecia?” Ultimecia… The time witch. The idea of her being back still hadn’t settle in Squall’s head. Maybe hearing it from someone else would make it reality.

[templier90]

"Here you go," Templar strips off his pistols and his shoulder-holsters, handed them to Leonhart with sincerely, he understands that a stranger walking around in this academy with his weapons are draw a lot of attention. Walks beside Leonhart, Templar gazes at the place with wonder with his smile.

When been asked that is there any sorceress's attack in his world, Templar stops his pace for a moment and looks at Leonhart with puzzled look. ".... There is this sorceress's attack in my homeworld, her attacks that I never seen before and it was... how should I say? Extremely terrified one... Me, my team thus other group of unknown heroic assailants were fight against her, manage to forces her to retreat but heaven knows that she might be back for more..."

Templar was wounded by that sorceress that time but luckily, some merciful healer revives him back to normal, and get his fighting spirit back. Speaking of the sorceress, how did Leonhart knows about her? "I assumed that she is from your world, correct? Who is she actually? You know her?"

[Squall Leonhart]

Squall took the man’s weapon, casting them over his shoulder. He guessed the polite thing to do would be to should this man around the Garden for the time being. But as Templar spoke of Ultimecia, Squall stopped also. They had got her to retreat? Chances were that Ultimecia was still over confident and greatly underestimated the group. He was also sure that it wouldn’t happened again. Ultimecia was evil and arrogant, but not unintelligent. When Templar asked if Squall knew Ultimecia he almost laughed. ”… She’s a sorceress from the future of this world. Me and my… Friends… defeated her once. Somehow she has return.”

But this wasn’t the time to talk of Ultimecia. They had to find this terrorist and get him out of the Garden. And return him to his natural world. But where to look? He could state an issue of evacuation, but it was too late for that. It would cause too much panic. … It’s like the missile base all over again… As they started to walk, Squall started to look through the information Templar gave him. ”This is your target so is there any trademarks or signatures he does with his work?” A lot of terrorist did love their work and usually did something that pointed them out. You just had to be quick enough to catch it.

[templier90]

"... Sounds like you having a lot of adventures with your friends." Templar smiles at Leonhart as they walks down in the hallway as the students look upon at the two. Adventures.... such a free things that you can do whatever you want such as helping people to overthrow a tyrant or an epic quest, but sadly life as a counter-terrorist captain isn't an adventure, its about determines who's going to live and who's going to die, one choice.

Other details of the terrorist? Templar almost forgot that part, "Well, the target is known as "Coyote", he was an ex-soldier in my world and explosive specialist. He can make any bombs if he got enough proper materials. It was hard to take him down when I lead my operatives into his hideout, as he placed several booby-traps around in order to buy him sometime but at last, I personally tackle him from second floor till down the ground."

As they continue to walk down the hall, Templar saw a group of students and suddenly, one of them attracts his attention; buzz cut hairstyle and a scar across his cheek. "See that buzz cut student over there? I guess that's him, try to approach him and ask for his ID card.... Give me the signal if he isn't your student." Templar pats on Leonhart's shoulder and slightly walk away from him for a moment, while look at the suspicious student.

[Squall Leonhart]

”Adventures… Right…” He wouldn’t call what he and his friends experienced an adventure. It was more like a nightmare. And it would seem that the nightmare wasn’t over, considering that Ultimecia was back. Squall eyes glazed over at Templar for a moment as he smiled. No, smile was return by Squall. It was rare for him. You smiled it meant you welcomed conversation. He preferred to be alone most of the time.

Coyote? Well, wasn’t that the clever nickname. Still, a coyote was nothing compared to a lion. But as they came on to the group of students Squall stopped. This guy with the buzz cut was the target? Squall could just go up to him, knock him out, and then question him when he woke. But this situation didn’t call for just authority. As Templar walked off Squall sighed. Great… Leave it to me… As always. Squall walked up to the group of students, looking them all down for a moment. ”I need to see your Identification cards...”

[templier90]

The students immediately show their identification cards to them, except for the suspected student who was in nervous expression. "I.... I left my ID card in my room sir, I'll be right back!" the student immediately brisks off from the crowd. Still couldn't be sure that is that him, there is one word that Templar would yells out,

"Miguel!"

The student stopped his pace and slightly turn around, looking at Templar who were in serious look. Gasped, shocked and tricked, the student immediately run off. With his speed, Templar run past Leonhart and grabs out one of his pistols which been confiscated in a blink of an eye, like a thief steals money from someone in the crowd before been noticed. "Miguel, stop!" Templar yells out as both of his hands hold the pistol and chase after the terrorist all down the hallway.

The terrorist immediately grabs a female student nearby and a pistol in his other hand, Cocoon's armament. "One more step and I'll kill her! I'm warning you Mactavish!" Templar stops his track and aims his pistol at the terrorist. "You can't escape from law, Miguel! Give it up!" the terrorist ignores the captain's threat and shoots his pistol in the air. The students nearby becomes chaos, screams and run in fear. The terrorist pushes the hostage away from him and runs off, Templar pushes through the crowd in order to pursuit.

[Squall Leonhart]

He left his card in his room? …Whatever. Squall reached out to grab the kid, but he had already taken off. This was great. Now they would have to chase after this kid. At least they had confirmed that he was the target. But then Templar ran pass him grabbing his own weapons. ”Wait! You can’t go around just putting that in the air!” He said, referring to Templar’s gun. Squall wanted to keep this between the two of them and the target, but now everyone was freaking out. He pulled one of the students who happened not to be a student after Squall looked at his ID. He was a SeeD as well. ”Get everyone to the Quad!”

With that said, Squall chased after Templar. As he ran he signaled for everyone that he came across to get to the Quad. He was going to give this Miguel guy and Templar a good beating for causing all this ruckus in his Garden. ”It’s pointless… He’s heading to a dead-end. The only way out for him is back this way.” Still, there was still plenty of innocent people he could hold hostage.

[templier90]

Against the other world's rules, that's his style. Templar makes his way through the crowd with his pistol in order to get that terrorist. Suddenly Leonhart catch up from behind, no doubt that he must be pissed about Templar grabs back his pistol and run down through the hall with it, as if he was in frenzy. "You can locked me up with that pal after I tackle him down, I'll be pleased to beat him up behind the bars." Templar raises his eyebrow to Leonhart and turns his focus back on Miguel. Heard that Miguel is heading towards dead-end, smirk across Templar's face.

"I'll punch a square in his face when he runs back."

Continue to pursuit, Templar saw Miguel was desperate as he looks at the wall, a dead end. From his behind, Templar dashes towards Miguel and leaps in the air. Miguel turns around and saw him, aims his pistol at him but it was too late as Templar grabs his arms and flips him above in the air. Managed to disarms the terrorist, Templar grabs Miguel by the collar and gives him a pistol whip on his face directly. He was halfly-knocked out as Templar grabs him again, apprehends him. "Get up,"
