Josh was held by Cid and Xu for over an hour past lunch. He missed the Caf, which had closed by the time he got there. They had wanted his to repeat the story over with anything they may have left out.

After the de-breifing, Josh went to the training center, and took out his frustration and hunger on some grats. He was about to leave, when he heard a high-peircing shreik come from further in the training center. "It's getting to the point that it's almost not worth it to train anymore." Josh said as he hurried towards the shreik.

He found that several other SeeDs ad arrived, and were having no luck. He once agian saw the menacing Red-Warrior who had attacked him earlier. The stranger had his back turned, and was watching his shadow warriors fight their opponents. Josh saw an opening, and he took it.

"Dragon-Slice!" Josh lept into the air, and swung his blade down accross the Red-Warriors back. it left a glowing trail for a moment, then a circular ring of fire eminated from the Red-Warrior, and hit all the Shadow- fighters, but didn't phase the SeeDs. Each dark copy once agian became a regular shadow. The Red-Warrior was shocked that this human had not only dodged his attack earlier, but had also now managed to injure him. "RUN!!! NOW!!! GET THE COMMANDER!!" Josh barked at the SeeDs, a few obeyed, but most stayed either through wanting to see the fight, wanting revenge, being to injured to move, or just being to stunned by what had happened.

"You!!! Who are you?!?!" The Warrior glowered at Josh

"Your on my turf now, your name first." Josh responded, focusing his eyes on the Red-Warrior.

"I am Greivios. Knght to the Sorceress Ultimeon, daughter of Ultimecia."

"I am Josh. Weilder of the DragonSoul, and ally to Those who defeated ths Sorceress in her own time."

Greivios' eyes widened. he realized no only the weapon, but the other SeeDs who had once freed this world. "Very well then, Josh of the DragonSoul, we shall meet agian." Greivios disappeared, and Squall arrived along with Dr. K. Josh told Squall that he would want to come by the Head masters office.

As he expected, Josh had to tell Cid and Xu the story of what had happened four times, and then was allowed to leave and get cleaned up.

Josh had enough time to get showered and dressed in a dress-casual outfit, he figured his uniform from the exam would do nicely, and get a gift from balamb for both Lisa and Fujin. He picked out a Gift-certificate, to the new Balamb Mall which was about a wek from opening(You know, you've got to love those gift-certificates) for each of the girls.

He arrived with fifteen minutes to spare, and an appitite larger than Zells. **************************************************************************** ** Thanks to all my Reveiwers.
