Deck 4 Hallway 13

Kenji walks down the hallway, and stops at the nearest room.

Kenji He opens the door. He closes the door and as he heads the next room. Suddenly the door he came from opens. He watches in disbelief as a load of soldiers exit the room. He quickly he opens the door after the last soldier leaves. "No..Way.now I know I was in that volcano too long." He starts walking down the hall and hears footsteps behind him. He looks back and notices he's surrounded.

Soldier 1 "Sir, we would like you to hand over your sword to us."

Kenji "Come again."

Soldier 1 "Sir, we need to confiscate your sword for security measures." There's a long pause as Kenji contemplates what the soldier had said to him.

Kenji ".I'm sorry. I thought I heard you say you wanted to take my sword."

Soldier 1 "Very well, Miss Canal, we have a problem. It seems one of Lord Yosho's guests will not surrender his weapon."

Canal "Should have known he would cause problems foe the master." All of a sudden a camera appears above Kenji's head.

Kenji Taking his sword he slices the camera in half. "You threaten me witch, BRING IT ON!!!!! I can take you all on!!!" Multiple laser cannons pop out of the wall targeting Kenji. The soldiers raise their guns and point them at Kenji.

Yosho "What is going on here?!"

Soldiers "Sir!" The soldiers clear a path for Yosho; he walks to Kenji.

Yosho "Do you mind explaining?"

Kenji "Oh nothing. They just tried to take my sword. I said no; they tried to attack me. It's that simple."

Canal "Lord Yosho, they are about to awaken."

Yosho "Thanks Canal. oh, can you get Umi to bring Sophia and Q to go there."

Canal "Yes, sir."

Yosho He turns to Kenji. "Let's go."

Kenji "Go where?"

Yosho "You'll see, or do you want me to let them finish what they'd started."

Kenji "No thanks." Yosho and Kenji begin to walk to the elevator and lead down to the maintenance bay. There they meet up with Balmung, Umi, and Sophia.

Yosho "Where's Q?"

Sophia "He's resting."

Yosho "All right, this way." He leads the group into a nearby room were several soldiers and two capsules are located.

Soldier 1 & 2 "Sir, you have arrived."

Yosho "Give me a status report." Yosho begins to discuss with the soldiers.

Sophia "So. what's in the capsules?"

Kenji "I'm wondering myself."

Balmung "Inside those capsules are Lord Yosho's two most loyal bodyguards."

Sophia "But, I thought you and Umi were his bodyguards."

Umi "Oh, no, we just travel with the master."

Balmung "They were seriously damaged in our last battle protecting the master and were undergoing repairs. They watch in amazement as the capsules open up revealing two women. They get up and step outside the capsules.

Sophia "So. they're Yosho's bodyguards?"

Kenji "Yosho's bodyguards are women." Yosho steps forward and embraces the two woman with a sigh of relief.

Yosho "I'm so glad you two are alright."

Woman 1 "Master, thank you for repairing us."

Woman 2 "We seem to be alright. You spent enough time helping us."

Sophia "What does she mean by that?"

Umi "After they were wounded, the master spent every day and night working hard to heal them."

Yosho "Oh, come on now, Umi, you over exaggerate."

Woman 1 "You did spend a lot of time helping us, thank you."

Yosho "I didn't do it alone, Canal helped as well."

Canal "All I did was recharging the energy cell. You did all the repairs."

Sophia "So. there not-"

Yosho "Oh, my bad; I forgot they haven't introduced themselves."

Woman 1 "Yes, my bad. I am Imperial Guard leader of the Royal Defense Force Tamashaburo."

Woman 2 "And I am her partner Baiho."

Baiho & Tamashaburo "We are the Imperial Body Guards for our Master Yosho."

Yosho "And to answer your questions, they are bio androids or human like androids."

Kenji "Hey, a woman's a woman to me." Two soldiers come in handing Baiho and Tamashaburo there weapons. "Come on ladies, he doesn't need you're protection. How about we go somewhere and talk a little bit and-" Baiho and Tamashaburo raise there weapons at him. "Ok, maybe not."

Yosho BAIHO, TAMASHABURO, show some manners to my guests."

Baiho & Tamashaburo "Forgive our rudeness, Lord Yosho. We didn't mean to anger you."

Yosho "That's alright."

Kenji "Is this a greeting they always do?"

Kenji Q walks in just as Sophia finishes. "Nope, looks like just fighting to me."

Q "I too am confused."

Sophia "Q, I told you I was going to wake you later."

Q "I've rested for 8 hours; I'm fine." His voice is calm this time no stress at all in his face.

Balmung "To understand they are fighting, you must understand their history." He recounted the past of Yosho, Kane, and the original Canal Volpheed.

Sophia "So. he's fighting to get back Canal."

Canal "Yes.. he.. is."

Q "That explains why his mind is clouded."

Canal "I believe Kane is fighting Yosho for other reasons."

Kenji "Shh!! I want to watch this!" He moves closer to the screen. "I bet 20 bucks that Yosho wins." Sophia makes a face at him. "What? There's nothing wrong with a little entertainment."

Sophia "You're sad."

Kane "Come now little brother, is this the best you can do?"

Yosho "I'm taking you down and getting Canal back!"

Inside the Minds of Yosho and Kane

Yosho "Where are you, coward, stop hiding."

Kane "Do you really think you can get her back knowing how weak you are?"

Yosho "I'll show you how weak I am!"

Kane "You think with your filthy blood that you can be my equal."

Yosho "Oh yeah, well I'll SHOW YOU!!! SHAAAAAADOOOOOOWWW!!"(transforming)

Kane "Try me if you dare!"
