I finally found what to do with the exam ... Its ready people, here it is ... A bit shorter than I wanted it to be but still:
Chapter 4.4: Preparations
From Balamb Garden, you could see a supernova that was lightyears away. On the left was a black hole sucking up all into its darkness. Space was a ugly place to be on your own. Although the sight from a planet was marvelous, the real space was monstrous.The Garden was approaching its homeworld. They were going to stop there to resupply and to give Leon a place to die in peace. The Garden Landed near its hometown: Balamb. Balamb was a peacefull village, almost never interupted by something related to violance.It was located near the sea so that a gentle and healthy sea breeze helped to keep its citizens in good shape. There were only one or two policemen active within the city, and they were only hanging around in tavernes, drinking some water with there pals. Always avaialble in a time of need. Back in the Garden, the headmaster was finishing up a contract for a deal between him and Riku. Riku made the headmaster promise that if Sarah dies caused by Sora and his henchmen, that the garden becomes his property. Riku himself was finishing a book he was reading in the Library. A book entitled: The History of the keyblade, explaining everything that happened to Sora after the destruction of Destiny Islands. Leon was sitting in his chambers, no more than a empty shell for all of his memories have faded away into the darkness. Sarah was walking towards the teachers desk after class to discuss whatever he wanted to discuss with the captains. “Ah Sarah, Hi ...” “Hello ..... Might I ask something?” “Ofcourse Sarah?!” The teacher looked surprised for he could see in Sarah’s face what she was going to ask. “Why me?” The teacher pulled out a picture of the Keyblade and he putted it on his desk. “This key lies in the hands of darkness. You are chosen to find the next Keyblade master and the only way you can reach your goal is if you are a leader, and not a follower.” Sarah understood what he said so she did not ask another thing.
“Welcome captains of next weeks seeD exam. I have gathered you here today to discuss the matter of leadership and the assigning of GF. First of all about Leadership.” The teacher was sitting behind his desk, with the students in the front row. Sarah was sitting in the middle chair, closest to the teacher. “Leadership .... Can someone describe it for me?” The student on the far left raised his hand and the teacher pointed towards him, stating that he may speak. “It is to command your team into the completion of your goal.” “Now there is the textbook answer. BUT, not quite correct.” Sarah now raised her hand. “Yes Sarah.” “Leadership is to go into battle with your team, as equals. Although you will be the one to make sure that youre team gets out alive and complete. You must also be the one to make sure that the rules are followed and that victory is assured.” A grin appeared on the teachers face. He stood up and walked over to Sarah whilst he was clapping. “Now this, ladies and gentlemen ... Is what I was looking for.” The teacher placed a orb in front of Sarah. It was a bleu, icy orb filled with ancient magic. “This Sarah, is Shiva. Your Guardian Force.” “Wh ... what?” “Listen, I am now giving everyone there GF’s. Sarah deserved Shiva, So there is no argueing that.” After the teacher handed out every GF, he sat back down behind his desk and he continued explaining the situation. “As you might or might now know, the Exam is one week from now. During the time you have, I want you all to train together with your team. Become friends. Becouse friends are more valuable by your side then an enemy.”
Docter Kadowaki sat besides Leon in his room. She administered one last morphine shot before Leon would be shipped out to Balamb. Leons eyes were a void. No emotions could be spotted in his eyes. “Leon, I miss you already.” Kadowaki placed a blanket over Leon and she pushed his wheelchair outside. Riku stood in the hallway and he followed Leon and Kadowaki to the exit of the garden. There he waved him farewell as he turned around and went back inside. The sun was shining brightly in the skies, watching over Balamb, making sure that the hapiness remains there. The sun also brought the warmth back in Leons heart. Short flashes of memories passed by his eyes, brining back a few emotions. These emotions were triggered by the strong memory of Sarah. Sarah was that something that was keeping leon in this world. For Sarah was a Hollow Bastionner.
“Class dismissed.” The teacher stood up and walked outside the classroom, the rest followed his example. It was a educative talk and Sarah learned alot. When she walked outside the classroom, Riku stood there waiting for her. “Riku, Its good to see you again.” “It is great seeing you again to Sarah .... I have some news for you .... Please, follow me.” Sarah followed Riku to the balcony. There they stood, looking at the outdoors. Way in the distance, a T-Rexaur was eating up its lastest pray. A few people were picknicking not far away from that. They seemed to be not aware of the loud noises ...... “So Riku, whats the matter?” Sarah leaned on the rails of the balcony whilst she flicked a lock of hair behind her shoulders. Riku himself leaned against the door, preventing it from opening. “Sarah, I want to tell you something .... It is of great importance.” “I’m listening.” And Riku started to tell Sarah the entire truth of what was happening and who she really was.
4 Days till Exam
Riku was once again in the Library, but now he was reading a magazine called Freaky Links. It is somewhat of a magazine of the occult. It handles strange thing like Heartless with a soul or a Human without a heart. Riku was reading a intresting article when Sarah walked in the Library. “Sarah, I havent seen you after the balcony.” Sarah grabbed a book and sat at the chair besides Riku’s. “I know, Ive been thinking about what was said and I think I can handle it now.” “Thats good, I dont want to see you destracted during the exam.” “Yeah, That would be a shame wouldnt it?” “Yeah .... Listen .. Its best that you go train with your team now. They need you more now.” “I guess you’re right ....” Sarah stood up and returned the book to its shelf. Riku aswell stood up and grabbed another magazine. “I’ll see you again later Sarah.” “See Ya later.”
2 Days till exam
A T-rexaur was standing in front of the seeD exam Delta team. Excisting out of 4 people: Team Captain: Sarah Gainsborough and her 3 Sidekicks: Ellen, Jonny Blaise and Wraith. Whilst Sarah was distracting the T-Rexaur by casting a few Fire spells, Wraith helped Blaise up the T-Rexaurs head. Ellen was slicing and dicing the rex at his feet so that he wouldnt move. Blaise finished the job by putting his sword in the rex’s head. “Nice Job everyone. Good teamwork.” Sarah went back outside the training center to discuss the training with her team. “Okay lets start with Ellen, You didnt got the Rex on the ground but you managed to keep it immobilised. That was a smarted move becouse with the success of Wraith, brining Blaise atop the rex, Blaise was able to kill the rex. It was a fast and clean kill. Exactly what I want to see at the exam.” Wraith stuck his sword iin the ground and he pointed towards the second part of the training center. “Its time to train with the heartless.” “No, not now .. Tomorow. Tomorow morning, 7 A.M. Is that a deal? You all will have the afternoon off!” “Deal” they all said simultaniously ((SP?))
1 Day till Exam
Wraith and Sarah were the first to arrive in the Training center. Both sat waiting in the hallway. Never saying a word. Sarah grabbed her Keyblades and walked over to the secundary training center. “So ... Wraith .... Wanna go for it?” Wraith took his Buster Sword and walked over to Sarah. “Wouldnt you think we should wait for the others?” “Sure, but I think that they are to late.” “Good point.” Sarah opened the mechanical door by punching in a code at the right of the door. The Heartless killed every living thing inside the area. There were no trees, no plants, no insects. There were only creatures as dark as the night, with no soul. A frightning chill crawled over Wraiths and Sarah’s back. “Are you sure you want to go through with it?” Sarah asked Wraith. But Wraith did not respond, Ho only rushed in and started destroying the heartless he layed sight on. Sarah wanted to go inside to but she was stopped by the shouting of her teammates “HEY, Dont forget about us.” “Youre to late!” Ellen and Blaise arrived at the door, exhausted. Both were exchanhing looks, looks that Sarah reckocknised. “Ahem, Blaise .... You might want to wipe that lipstick of youre collar.” “Hehehe woops ....” Blaises cheeks turned red and so did Ellen’s. “Look, get in there. All must fight alone. No help from others besides medical reasons.” Both said ‘roger’. Sarah raced inside whilst she destroyed a few heartless by bashing her keyblade in there heads. As she arrived at the spot where she would train, a new heartless showed it face. “Does anybody know what type of heartless these are?” Wraith jumped in the air and landed besides her whilst stomped a shadow in its head. “That is a Invisible Heartless, A strong type. You’d best let me help.” “OK, you take the ones on the left.” Sarah jumped in the air and hurled a keyblade at the invisible. As the keyblade was hurling to the one furthest away, sarah got back on the ground and made a dive for the one closest. The Keyblade had no trouble vutting through the heartkess and Sarah kicked herself up using her foot. In the air, she grabbed the other keyblade and landed on the ground again. The 2 last invisible went at her using there swords. Sarah blocked the attacks and let the invisible pass by. With a quick 180, Sarah lunged the keyblades at them and ended there excistance. Wraith was ready with his fight aswell. “I think we are ready with the training. Dont you think?” Blaise pulled his gunblade out of the ground and launched a fireball at the shadow jumping at Ellen. “Yeah, thats fine by me.” Blaise said. The four of them rushed outside, whilst the heartless were stopped at the door by a forcefield. And that was there training.
The day of the exam
When Riku woke up, he noticed that they were no longer in Balamb. They had already took of towards the location of the seeD exam. Riku summoned his old sword and went to the headmasters office to get some intel about the exam and the danger threatening to kill Sarah. As he walked past the cafeteria, he could not rescist to get another hotdog. For once in his life, he was adicted to something. As walked in the cafeteria, his eye caught a shadow of someone he knew. Or atleast, someone he thought he knew. But she had already died. It couldnt be .... Kairi? Or was it? Riku followed the shadow and bumped into a wall. The shadow or the person that in belonged to were gone. “Kairi? It cannot be you!” Riku slammed his fist against the wall and teardrops fell on the ground. The Students looked at him, wondering what was happening. But as quickly as they looked, they returned to there normal business.
Sarah was standing in line for a hotdog, when the headmaster announced the beginning of the exam. “Attention all student participating in todays exam. Please proceed to the entrance where I shall be explaining the mission.” Several student immediatly left for the entrance but since she was first in line, Sarah decsided to have a hotdog first. And then she left for the entrance.
“Welcome students of today. As you all know, we are doing our seeD exam Today. If you pass or not depends on you. If you follow your orders and succesfully perform them, then you get judged by how you did. If you pass everything, then you become a seeD and you will be given a rank. This rank tells you how much you earn. Now back to the mission. This is the main plan. The situation. Each team will receive there orders on there designated ships.

Two teams who help the seeD conquering the beach and two teams who will try and get the hostages, if there are any.” Headmaster Cid walked over to a woman dressed in a seeD officers uniform. He whispered in her ear and he sat on a chair that was ready for him “Goodday, My name is Xen. I am here to inform you further on the matter of enemies. We will be facing Heartless and Soras human Guards that he calls: The Patriots. The strongest Heartless seen so far are Neo Invisible. They are way stronger than the avarage Invisilbe.
