**************************************************************************** *** "Battle stations.......30 munutes till target." The siren sounded and as the vehicles approached their target..the soldiers prepared to set up the barrier and begin assalt upon the Garden.

"This is it. Get ready." Seifer said.

"We'll fire the main cannons, then I'll lead our troops into the Garden to end this thing." Josh said.

"We need to be ready for anything..there may be traps." Quistis said.

"I'm counting on it." Josh said.

They rounded the mountain and their craft released hydrolic pallels that anchored them to the ground before the sides rose up to form square fortresses with 5 roboticly armed turrets. The forts were placed so close..that they formed an almost solid wall across the opening to the valley where Tribia was.

The knights of Rinoa who were on watch duty ran to the throne-room(what had once been the Basketball court) and told Squall what was happening.

"And you did what to stop this???" was his response.

"What could we have done???"

"Wrong answer." Squall threw small knives into each of them...they disappeared in a puff of smoke..each screaming in agony.. and left no trace except and echoing shreik and a charred dagger. "So..." Squall began "...Little brother Josh has come for revenge has he? Well, I may just have to answer his call of attack personally."

Rinoa walked out from behind a curtain and looked around. "What's wrong???"

"Josh has come back for me Raven. This time I'll kill him."

"Won't you let me George??????"

**********Meanwhile********* "Fire main cannons." Josh said. Motioning for the cannons to be fired at tribia. and a moment later...The outer wall of tribia fell from the force of the shells and the entire Garden was rocked.

Josh reached over and placed his Bo-sai on the floor then he went to his bag and took out two Kitana's. Seifer looked at his new weapons and gave a questioning look.

"The Bo-sai is my weapon of Choice.....But this......" He held up the twin blades..each glowing pale blue from the power of the energy crystals which had been grafted into the steel. "This, is my specialty."

Outside the Vehicles...The troops were awaiting orders. Josh walked out. "If your enemy can be taken alive...do so. If not, You must do what ever is neccessary to neutralize the threat to this world." Josh raised one of his kitana's above his head. He shot it down and ran forward yelling "CCCCHHHHAAARRRGGEEE!!!!!!"

Like a stampede, They washed over the land toward the Garden. The cannons were still firing shells over head as they raced to engage their enemy. They had been trained to show no fear.....and they wouldn't betray their training. The knights who were standing ready saw the determination and over half of them gave up without a fight. The others shortly after them. It seemed that the knights had no faith in their abilities without their monsters to fight for them.

Josh and his 6 leutenants rushed through the halls of tribia garden in search of the room which would hold the sorceress. "Seifer." Josh said. "I since a presence from another world at work here. I'll have to confront it alone. should anything happen to me...get everyone out."

Seifer nodded. "I'll take care of Fujin in such case."

"I knew you would." at that minute, They reached the throne room and saw Squall and Rinoa......Six of them did anyway. Through Lunos, Josh was allowed to see the ones who now possessed them. "George and Raven...." Josh muttered.

"I thought Raven was killed." Seifer said with confusion.

"I'll explain later......If there is a later." Josh drew his other Kitana and prepared for battle. **************************************************************************** ***

No carnage yet..but I promise..the last battle will have blood .........mutation ..........gore ......and so on.

I'd like to thanks the reveiwers Quicksylver--Thanks for the vote of confidence Crystaline Tears--Thanks for the idea....I may use that on the final battle. Faltering Hues--glad you liked the band

So far the votes for people to live are Rinoa -4 Squall 0 Josh 3 Fujin 3 Gen. Caraway 0 Irvine 1

Looks like everyone wants Rinoa to die and for josh and Fujin to live.....well, I may have a surprise for you at the end........who knows?

My other fic will not mean that I'll stop this one...It will mearly serve to give me a little more time to think the battles out.
