Discalimer: I don't own FF8 and I'm not making money off this.
**************************************************************************** ** "How long do you expect to hold out agianst me? I have been waiting for a thousand millinea, posing as the sorceress's who ahve been killed, just to get an oppertunity to attain a single one of the magical weapons, and now, All three are gathered here in front of me. You shall not escape. I will rip you limb from limb, for I am ALPHA WEAPON!!!!!"
(A/N for those who don't know, alpha and omega are Greek, alpha means first, omega means last, the furthest of opposites.)
"And how do you plan to do that? AW?" Josh mocked Hey, Elementos, Sander, I thought I told you to leave....why are you just standing there?
"I can hear your thoughts, Josh," Alpha Weapon taunted. "They cannot leave, because I hold them here. Just as the DragonSoul controls the power of healing magis, and the LionHeart contains un-limited physical power, My Dark Matter controls all magical abiltiies, including the power of the GF. now, all magic is mine to control. After I am through with you, I will destory your misirible planet, but the inhabitants, I will bring here, to face their worst fears......I shall be especially fond of torturing that little woman of yours. Your, Fujin isn't it?"
At that moment, Josh's spirit broke, as he realized what would happen. He felt anger well up inside him, but he couldn't strike, the Dark matter controled the magical powers of his DragonSoul energy atacks. he would have to get close to use a physical attack, but that would be top risky, Alpha Weapon only needed to touch the blade to gain it's power and complete his collection. "Don't hurt her. Agree, and I'll give you my own life in exchange." Seifer began to grow disgusted by this instantly. Josh was nolonger a warrior, no longer worthy of his weapon, but was actually groveling, and crawling towards Alpha Weapon.
"You in exchange for her.... let me think." Alpha Weaopn, quickly grabbed Josh's neck, and snatched the DragonSoul from his hand. the weapon disappeared, and re-appeared as a scale-armor, covering the weapons body. "No." Weapon tried to throw Josh, but he held fast, begging him to reconsider. Weapon slung his arm back and forth, trying to dislodge Josh from his arm. Finally, Josh let go. He was slung to the ground, but immediatly picked himself up, and stood tall.
"Missing something?" Josh called. Elementos, Sander, Go now.
"You vermin, they cannot go....what in the world?" Alpha Weapon looked in fear, as The two GFs, disapeared, but not before Seifer could throw the dagger, which Kent had given him long before, to Josh. "That's not possible. I control them with this." He raised his arm, and saw, that in his gauntlet, a matching set of Josh's, there was a hole, where the Dark Matter had been.
"Did you forget AW? I was a theif, and I haven't lost my touch." Josh held out his hand, and revealed the Dark Matter clinched in his fist. "But If I use it agianst you, the Dragon Soul will heal you, won't it?"
"Indeed, you had me fooled, I thought you truly had given up. but you cannot beat me."
"Watch and learnd sonny-boy." Josh held the Dark Matter, and his Dagger together. "Armor-Break." Despite its size, because of the power lent to it by the Dark Matter, the dagger split Alpha Weapons armor in half, and as it fell, the DragonSoul splintered into peices.
"Now your protected by nothing except for your own skin and the Lionheart."
"Impossible."
"Dragon Soul, to my hand." As Josh called his weapon, the shards from the armor disappeared. re-forging themselves in a manner unseen, the Gun-blade version fo the DragonSoul appeared in Joshs' hand. "Time to end this. Stolen Limits. Full arsenal."(Remember, he stole Squalls, Irvines, Selphies, and Fujins limitbreaks)
Josh's aura activated around him, and he started his own limit first. "Run The Gauntlet"
He followed that attack by his cow-boy, trigger happy companion. He had no ammo, but the magical powers of his Gunblade worked instead, releasing the three most powerful shots. He simulated the attacks from AP Ammo, Dark Ammo, and Pulse Ammo.
The third limitbreak, was Fujins. He held out a hand. "Winds Fury." Three blades appeared around Josh, not real blades, but illusions caused by the wind. They sliced Alpha Weapon each twice.
Fourth, Josh initiated a true Gunbladers attack, Renzokuken, followed by the LionHeart attack.
Finnally, Josh activated Selphies Limit, at first he was wary of using it, but his fears were vanquised, as he discovered a powerful spell in her attack. "Slot. Rapture." A feild of flowers appeared around Alpha Weapon, and slowly, darkness, a pitchblack without light fell over the feild, and the monster. As Josh re-appeared from the attack, he heard TheAlpha Weapons final cry of agony and fear. "Shoulda used that one sooner."
Josh walked over to where the LionHeart lay,a nd reached over to pick it up, but stopped, and withdrew his hand. "I already have teh first two, If I touch that one..........Do I want to risk trying to control unlimited power?" Josh decided it would be better not to even try. "The death of a GF,a nd the breaking of the Trinity, shall result in another life." He threw the Dark Matter into the air, and pulled his DragonSoul back. "Batter Up." He smacked the Dark Matter, and watched it Fly appart into several hundred peices, the peices stopped, and formed a constellation-like figure in front of him. Color and substance flowed from each point, and the image took shape and form. Josh picked up the LionHeart.
"Time for me to go home."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The wedding had procceded as planned, once the bride and groom returned. Everyone agreed, that Josh wouldn't want anyone crying over him, much less stopping a wedding. It wasn't until the Reception began, that anyone began to question, if Josh truly was coming back. It just so happened, that it was Lisa who questioned Seifer about it, in an inocent, Child-like manner.
"Uncle Seifer, Does Josh want to come home at all? cuz he's taking a really long time to get back."
**************************************************************************** ** Thanks to all my Reveiwers.
Quycksylver--yes, well, I can't go and mess up the story line yet. _
Faultering Hues-- without reveiwers, the story would have no purpose to be writen, with out a writer, the story wouldn't have a way to be writen
Fujin wind goddess: yes actually, he can. I don't know how you do it....but you must stop revealing my story ideas. everytime I try to make a surprise in the story, you guess it...just for that, i might decide to not have Fujin save Josh after all. I might just make the story end with Rinoa dieing, and Squall and Fujin finding love and comfort in each other.(joking...i wouldn't do that to Fujin...Rinoa maybe, but not Fujin)
