FF8-The New Challenge
Ch.7 The meeting and the weapon
Discalimer: I don't own FF8 and I'm not making money off this.
**************************************************************************** ** Bahamut shot a blast of white energy towards Josh. The energy raced around Josh, and his clothers tranformed into Shining armour, made from the legentary mythril, Josh loked up at Bahamut, who presented a very large mirror for Josh to examine himself in.
Josh had never been very vain, and usually used mirrors only to check his hair, face, and teeth in the morning. He looked his armour over once, and that was enough for him. "What is next?"
"Your weapon. You will not need it. And even if you did, that one is not strong enough to damage him"
"Very well." Josh removed his gunblade and sheith from his back.. "Next?"
"Now, you are ready to meet with The Great GF." Bahamut placed a hand on his back, and what must have seemed very slow to him, he showed Josh into the next room.
Josh allowed himself to be led, and looked at the massive form infront of him which must have been The Great GF. Bahamut dropped to one knee. his wings were folded back like a cape, and he placed one hand on the floor. The other hand, he clenched into a fist and placed over his heart. "I have brought him Master."
A voice, powerful, yet kindly, answered him. "Good, now leave us to be alone." Bahamut bowed his head, then got up, and walked out of the room. The form which Josh had seen, came closer, and became clearer He knew the face from Squall's ring, as well as the charm on his Gunblade.
Josh was stunned, and could only say one word, and it came out as a whisper. "Griever."
The Gf did indeed look like griever, but it was much taller, infact double the size. but since Josh had never met Greiver, he didn't know this. This GF was white, and had three tails, each with the same blades that Greiver had. His claws were the same, but even though his wings looked similar to grievers, it had 4....not 2. Josh heard a kind-hearted chuckle.
"No, I'm not Greiver..but the resemblence is striking, isn't it? No, My name is Thrasher. You have been chosen young one. don't you find it interesting that you've found 2 GFs which no one else knew existed." Josh nodded slowly. "Well, that's because you didn't..we found you. The time has come to fight once agian. This time, you must be the one to lead the battle."
"There are three weapons of awesome power. these weapons have no true form, they take on what ever shape the fighter is most familiar with. Your friend, Squall...I belive it is.....has one of the three."
"The LionHeart."
"Indeed. He had it made, but was only able to, because it chose him. The time has come to awaken it's more powerful ally." Thrasher walked over, and removed a peice of cloth from the ground. underneath it was a sword. Josh had read of this sword. Several hundred years ago.....a man named Cloud had used it. he had called it the Ultima Weapon. "This is the Legndary Ultima Weapon. Although, that is not it's true name. To myself and others like me, this is known as the 'DragonSoul' it is much more powerful than the LionHeart, and it must accept you, or you will not even be able to move it."
Thrasher turned aside, in order to allow Josh to approach the weapon. "Well, is there anything I need to do first?"
"No. This is the final test. If the DragonSoul refuses you, it will kill you."
"Great. Well, if I don't try, then who will?" Josh reached out, and curled his fingers around the handle of the DragonSoul. The sword reacted instantly, it's spike-gaurds began to come together, and to melt into the main blade. Josh felt a pain in his side. His face stung, as it was cut in three places. Josh did not let go of the weapon, he was sure that is he did, he would die. He grit his teeth, and hung on, as the blade angled it's self, and the handle changed to that of a gunblade. He felt his arms begin to slice, and his chest was cut but the invisible power of the DragonSoul.
At last, the DragonSoul had finished it's change, and Josh lifted it above his head. He felt his wounds heal, and it seemed that even the blood which had come from his wounds was absorbed back into his skin.
"The DragonSoul has accepted you as it's master. I now do the same." Thrasher placed a hand around Josh's arm. "Because of my power..and your youth, if I were to try to make a place for myself in you mind, I would erase all knowledge and memories you have. So instead, I give you this gauntlet.
Thrasher removed his hand, to reveal a silver band, reaching all the way around Josh's arm, and from his elbow, to his wrist. The Gauntlet had an image of Thasher on the back of it. his head on the wrist, his feet at the elbow.
"I will live within this image. When ever you need my advice, you need only to ask me. I will be watching, and whenever you need me..I will be there instantly." Thrasher appeared to turn to smoke, and be absorbed into the image on the Gauntlet. As he disappeared, he said. "Speak to Bahamut when you are prepared to leave."
Josh looked down at his blade when Thrasher had completely integrated with his gauntlet. "DragonSoul huh?" The balde was a deep green, yet a gentle glow seemed to emitate from it. The handle was a mixture of silver and black metal. Josh moved the weapon, and it's blade shone a deep blue, then crimson, then back to green.
Josh saw a large marble rock stting out from the wall. "Lets see this things power." Josh was surprised to find that the blade felt as light as a feather to him, and he waved it like a stick towards the Boulder. He sliced the rock in half, without meeting any resistance, it was as if he had not hit anything. Yet the rock fell apart..perfectly smooth in the area where the blade had cut.
He went back outside, and spoke to Bahamut. "I am ready to leave, and return to Garden."
"Then climb on." Josh sheithed his new weapon, in his old sheith of course, and climed up to Bahamut's shoulders. The GF had knelt down to allow him to climb. Bahamut spread his wings, and flew off towards the Garden.
