Disclaimer: Josh-Nothing belonging to Squaresoft belongs to Writer of the Blaze ************************************************************************ Centra area "Look out!!!!!!!!!" Biggs and Wedge cried together.

"Hit the deck!!!!!!!!!!! It's a Dragon!!!!!!!!!" Some of the recruits yelled. No one was able to move to steer the ship away, as the 'dragon' landed on an island next to the SeeD ship and opened up. "Hey...it's no dragon...its a ship of some kind." "It's the Ragnarok!!!!!!!!" "What's it doing here?" Cries of excitement filled the ship as curiosity brought the crew to the edges of the ship.

The questions were answered as Edea stepped out of the ship and called out, "Children? Please come here, I need to speak with you." The ship glided over to the shore, and the Captain stepped out and walked up with his escort to speak with Edea, and the SeeDs that had gathered around her. After explaining the situation that had occurred, Edea told that all SeeDs, including those not trained by Balamb Garden were to assemble at Esthar to plan the next move. "We believe that Trabia Garden may be next to be attacked, there fore we must hurry and organize our efforts."

"Very well Matron. We shall assist in any means we can. We will meet you at Esthar in two days."

"WWWWHHHHOOOO HOOOOO" Selphie jumped up and down waving her arms "We gotta fighting force now!!!!!!" After saluting, and boarding their respective ships, the SeeDs began their journey towards Esthar. The group in the Ragnarok decided it would be better to follow the White SeeD ship to allow protection incase an emergency arose. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



"Yo Raijin!" Raijin looked up to see Seifer and Quistis running towards him. "Vacation's over bud, time to head out."

"Whoa, what's this, ya know."

Seifer briefed him on the situation and the transports that were being made. "Man, Josh is in charge now huh?"

"Yes Raijin, he is, now let's get the transports and head back." Quistis said, ready to get away from the smell of fish.

The trio hurried to meet Zell, who had gone to inspect the new transports and were surprised to see that he had found three other SeeDs who had been on vacation there. With a total of ten hover-transports, the group of seven SeeDs left to meet the others at Esthar. They got half way there, before they were ambushed by several knights of the sorceress Rinoa, and in the lead was none other than Balamb's Commander.........

.............Squall Leonhart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alright Fujin, let's head home." Josh talked in to the console and started his car. They had been allowed to borrow five cars to accompany the SeeDs and had put them to good use.

All total, they had found twelve SeeDs in Deling City, Timber, Win Hill, and the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, they had already had a run-in with some of the sorceress' knights looking for recruits. They were now under Galbadian custody.

Josh was glad to have an ally like General Caraway on his side. He knew that he had been in fights with his daughter and that they had a dysfunctional family, but he knew that deep down...Caraway loved his daughter as much as Squall did, but wasn't as good at expressing his affection.

"Let's move out!!!!!!" Josh said into the console, and then lead the team back towards the bridge that spanned the ocean and eventually reached FH. They had carried Seifer and his group that far, then left them to find a way back before their group got back. If the transports weren't ready.... well, they would have to make room.

The group made it to the end of the bridge without mishap,but after they disembarked, they saw the fight between their friends and... well...their friends. The fact that they were on different sides hadn't changed their back ground...Josh made sure every one under stood that. But now, Josh had to choose who he would help...and quickly choose his own side to fight along side...he was their leader after all. "Recruits...dismount vehicles." Josh stopped his car; the others pulled up to either side of him, and the seventeen SeeDs with their weapons climbed out and awaited instruction.

"Prepare weapons." The readying of gun, nunchuks, swords, shurkins...and of course, Josh's newly upgraded bo-sai (a sickle-like blade had been added to each end, and the shaft was now made of steel, not wood) could be heard, and Seifer looked over towards the noise. "Advance and engage enemy at will!!!!!"

"Glad you guys could drop in!!!!" Seifer had just finished taking out a bite-bug, and was ready to have re-enforcements. "Their knights are to scared to fight us them-selves." Seifer nodded towards where a half dozen knights were standing and concentrating on the monsters they controlled in the battle

"Well then, I guess we need to show enough courage for us and them, eh?"

Seifer smirked, "My thoughts exactly!!"

The two comrades rushed forward into battle, and were suddenly surprised, as Quistis' scream could be heard. Squall had used his newly acquired ability to take control of a very rare monster, the Leviathos. This was a fully-grown male, and its 9-foot fangs glistened with venom as it raised its 50' body from the sea and stretched its fins. The eel-like monsters were normally solitary and shy, but Squall's control had made it furious. Seifer was frozen in horror as the beast opened it's fangs to devour his girlfriend.who was too far for anything to be done...he thought

...but at the last minute, Leviathos was knocked back by an explosion, and as eyes turned sky ward and sea-ward, The Ragnarok could be seen making another pass with it's main cannon preparing for a second shot, but the one had been enough, and the Leviathos, now free of Squall's control, sank back into the ocean.

Mean while, SeeDs filled out of the White SeeD ship and joined the battle. Fujin raced toward where Josh and Seifer stood, checking their junctions before encountering the Knights. Just before she reached, one of the knights saw her and alerted the others. They concentrated, and Josh's face filled with horrors and rage as a Grand Mantis appeared behind Fujin and stabbed her in the back.

"NNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!" Josh rushed to her side, and sliced the bug open with one blow. "Fujin?"

"Go on...Josh.I'll be fine, just need a Medic."

"Seifer, take care of her...alright you turn-coats, play times over."

Rage filled Josh's face as he leapt from rock to rock, dodging monsters and making his way to the Knights. At the last minute, he leapt into the air, and completed his summoning of the GF he had junctioned so longbefore..."Lunos!!!!!!! Lunar Obliviation!!!!!!!!!"

The Knights froze with horror, as the battlefield vanished, and a full moon appeared. The light from the moon took form, and the energy of that form went shooting through them (9999). The light stopped just above the ground, and formed a wolf, who as the materialization finished, dropped to the ground and sent a shock wave towards the Knights (9999).

The fur on the wolf, who was undoubtedly Lunos, began to shine and sparkle, and then pure energy jettisoned from each strand of hair and shot through the knights before circling around and hitting them again then going up and forming a sphere above them. (9999)(9999) The Sphere split in two and shot back towards Lunos, forming two silver, Gargoyle-like wings.

The Wings glistened with Energy and that Energy flowed as if through blood veins to Lunos's mouth. The wolf's mouth radiated with energy, and a Savage roar was released as a Beam of energy shot through the Knights (9999).

Lunos began to send pulses through the beam of light coming from it's mouth, first slowly, but then at increasing speeds until it appeared to be an almost constant beam of pure power. (9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(999 9)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9 999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999)(9999) (9999)(9999)(9999)(9999) Then the Wolf was absorbed by the ball of energy within its mouth, and the energy shot back towards the moon, before the knights were returned to the battlefield, where they all quickly keeled over. (9999)

"That's that...oh wait, I have one thing to do." Since the Knights had been taken into the Summon, their spell had been broken and the monsters had left.

In the confusion, Squall had also escaped. Josh pulled out a phoenix pinion and revived the fallen Knights, who looked around like they had just woken up from a long sleep.

"Where's the garden?" "My head hurts." "I'm hungry." "Where are we?" "Ohh! Lieutenant Commander Josh!!!" The SeeDs snapped to attention and saluted. Josh did the same before escorting them to the hovercraft and leading the entire force that had been gathered to Esthar.

The group arrived ninety minutes later than the time Josh had set, and they found Laguna waiting Impatiently.

"There you are...you had me worried, I thought something might have happened to you."

"Laguna." Josh rolled his eyes, "Don't even go there...please." **************************************************************************** *** Well, You (the Reviewers who previously reviewed) said you wanted to see Lunos in action.
