Now your party will be asked by Rinoa to head to Edea's house. As you know Edea is already an experienced Sorceress on controlling her powers. You will find Angelo in front of the house. Next enter Edea's house and to the area where you find the couple. After talking to both of them, now you exit.

At the entrance, there is a small path (anyway that area is already accessible upon first time in the game, but I did not mentioned it.) You will find Angelo and it will be heading now. Next your party, members will leave and Rinoa comes in. [a different situation, when Rinoa is in your party.] Rinoa will be asking Squall about certain topics like whether she will fight her or not... After a short and sweet conversation, Zell will report to you that Esthar's President would like to see you. Next exit and you find Edea talking to Squall. Head for Esthar City where you will meet the President. Now board Ragnarok and head to Ragnarok's Airstation. Just head north until you reached the elevator junction and make a turn to the north. Board that elevator (hmm.. why is this still working?) and you will be heading to Presidential Palace, just head left and you will reach the President's Room.

BTW, the President of Esthar has defeated Adel the Sorceress [the sealed monster], 13 years ago.

As Squall entered the room, he has found familiar faces Ward... and Kiros... Just walked forward and you found out that the President is actually Laguna Loire. [In Squall's eyes, Laguna is just a crappy Galbadia Soldier.. Can't believed the way, that a President of a such huge city will be dressed in such a simple manner.] Next talk to Laguna, you will be given the prompts [don't play the card, as you may lose due to the rules that have effected while at Lunar Base]:

Explain the mission to defeat Ultemicia:

Where's Ellone? -> gives the mission briefing (a bad sense of feeling.)
Tell me about Raine -> Laguna refused to talk about it!
What are you doing here -> The past after Dream Sequence #5*

* Choose this one for those playing the first time.

Pick the first option once you have known the answers. Next you will meet Dr Odine! He has been doing research and on a machine called "Junction Machine Ellone" and plus a couple of reasons why Ultemicia wants Ellone, that's for Time Compression!

Next you will be brought to the passenger's area where you will experienced a serious face-looking Laguna. After every one have exited, head to the hangar and save your game. Return back here and have a card game with Laguna and get the last card of the collection area: Squall Leonhart! BTW, you may find some hints from Ward and Kiros.
