Next morning Selphie tells you that their first mission as members of SeeD is at a place
called Timber and you should go in plain clothes. Make your way to the front gate of the
Garden, don't forget to save your game if you feel the need.
At the front, push open the red panel and you will see Cid with a Garden Faculty and Selphie. Talk to Cid and you will see Zell come from the distance on his hoverboard (like in Back to the Future II ^^), but it is confiscated by the Garden Faculty. Notice that everyone has changed into their own personal clothes, a standard practice for SeeD members.
Cid will brief you all on the mission that lies ahead; to assist the resistance in Timber. When you gain control of Squall, trying to exit the area will make Cid give you a Magic Lamp that summons a Guardian Force, Diablos. Simply go to the item menu and click on the newly gained lantern to defeat him.

This BOSS is pretty tough if you have generally low levels. You can save it until you
have reached a double-digit level, but if you're good, you may as well fight him now.
He has a high tendency to use Demi magic before he starts
to attack. His attacks are strong which does about 100+ damage.
Firstly you must have obtained the double magic spell (the one that lets you to do magic in a turn) and Blind. As you begin the fight, cast double magic to your characters and Blind magic to Diablos. It may requires some luck, which will result the BOSS from miss attacking you. Remember to have lots of cure magics available as he will use Demi on you and has quite strong attacks; his 'Gravija' will never KILL your party even if your HP is at 10. Use your Guardian Force's as much as possible, and keep trying at drawing Demi and using it on him - sometimes it can deal a lot a damage. |

Now exit from Garden and you are
back on the World Map. Head towards Balamb City (where you went to Dollet from)
As you arrive at the city entrance, head south from the Gas Station.
Now walk down and make a left turn, there you will meet Zell's friend
sitting on the bench. Continue walking left from him and you will reach the train station.
There is a shop situated at the right side of the station, which sells items.
After this, talk to the man at the station and pay him 3,000 gil for a train ticket.
Inside the Train
There is a Save Point inside the train. Next Zell will talk to Squall and Selphie about how good the travelling in trains is, and points out the fact that it's a transcontinental railway. They will leave the room, so follow them. Talk to Zell and he will enter the room on the left, impressed that SeeD have their own cabin!. Selphie will remain in the corridor and starts to sing a song because see likes trains so much (man, they don't get out much ^^):
I like riding trains...
Train, train... Run so fast...
Take us far... far away...
Lead us to the future...
After that piece from Selphie, head inside the cabin that Zell went in and talk to him. You'll find him bouncing on the coach. Move towards Zell and he will ask you whether you know much about Timber. Pick any option. Selphie will enter the room, looking unwell. Suddenly, Selphie passes out, followed by Zell. Squall, the last one standing, tries to approach them but suddenly falls unconsicious, lying on the ground. The screen fades....
