Chapter 5: Judgemaster Cid visits

Clan Woopz's attack force went back to the base in Baguba Port. Along the way, they saw Judgemaster Cid.

Pete: Kupo! It's the man!
B-Man: Better get outta here!
Joe: Wait, maybe the Judgemaster can tell me why I ended up here.
Magic: Whatever, jussst don't tell him we're here.
Joe: Alright.
Pete: You know where our base is?
Joe: Yeah.
Ed: Good. Let's go before Cid sees us.

Joe stays behind while the rest of the group runs away. Joe approaches Cid.

Joe: Excuse me.
Cid: Huh? Oh, just the guy I'm looking for.
Joe: Why?
Cid: There's this unknown person in the palace and I think that you'll know him.
Joe: I don't know...
Cid: Me neither.
Joe: What does this guy look like?
Cid: From what I heard, he has long silver hair with a 20 foot katana.
Joe: Whoa. 20 feet?
Cid: Surprised me, too.
Joe: Alright. Maybe I'll know. Let me just get my chocobo.
Cid: Take your time.

Joe runs to Woopz base. Magic stands guard and sees Joe alone.

Magic: What're you doing, Joe? Done talking to the man?
Joe: Not yet. I need Cucco.
Magic: On it. Magic gets Cucco from the Chocobo stable. Here you are.
Joe: Thanks, Magic. Let's go, Cucco.

Joe and Cucco goes to Cid and Cid takes Joe to the palace. Joe's Materia Armor piece turns red along the way.

At the palace, in the palace, the man with the silver hair is waiting paciently.

Joe: Who might you be?
Guy: Name's Sephiroth. All I need is a certain armor. I'm kinda impacient.
Joe: I'm wearing armor. All other armor is just this piece.
Sephiroth: Wait...looks at the piece Hey! That's what I'm looking for. Can I have it?
Joe: Uhh...sure. gives Sephiroth the piece
Sephiroth: Oh good. Now I don't have to kill everyone for it. Time to get even with Cloud!
Cid: What was that?
Joe: Get even?
Sephiroth: Uhh... You didn't heard that last part. I'm leaving now.
Joe: Wait, hold on. Sephiroth waits but is getting impacient By the way, do you know anyone who used to cast a giant meteor?
Sephiroth: Yeah. That was me. Wish I can do that again.
Joe: Why?
Sephiroth: That was the will of Jenova. To rule the planet Gaia. Before I came here, I asked her if I can rule Ivalice and she says "Who cares?", so yeah. If she said yes, I'd be murdering everyone here in seconds.
Joe: Oh, whatever. Last question: Who brought you here?
Sephiroth: Some six-armed ninja-looking swordsman named Gilgamesh brought me here. I got his inter-dimentional cell phone number with me.
Joe: Gilgamesh, huh?
Sephiroth: Yep. Got to go! Sephiroth teleports
Cid: Well, Joe, is this enough info about your past?
Joe: Sorta. By the way, Cid. Why the heck are you wearing a regular Judge's armor?
Cid: Didn't you read today's newspaper?
Joe: No. Cid gives Joe a newspaper I'll read it on my way back.
Cid: Back where? You belong here.
Joe: Oh, I joined a cool clan, you know, to keep them from too much trouble, and I have to go back.
Cid: Oh, very well then. Remember, you can come back anytime. You may need a spare helmet.
Joe: Forgot that embarrased. See ya. Let's ride, Cucco.

Eventually, Joe returns from the palace to Woopz base.

Magic: So, Joe, you returned?
Joe: Yep. I got news.
Magic: Well, come on. I'll take Cucco to the stable.
Joe: Thanks. sees that Jade still hasn't returned Everyone, I got some good news.
B-Man: Man, I never really liked newspapers.
Jesus: Be quiet, Buster.
B-Man: IT'S B-MAN! GET IT RIGHT!
Jesus: Whatever. Allow me to read it, Joe.
Joe: Sure. Jesus reads the paper in front of the clan
Jesus: Wait, what's this? everyone pays attention It says here that Judgemaster Cid finally retired and given the Judgemaster title to some guy named Marche.
B-Man: Who the & is Marche?
Jesus: Language, please.
B-Man: Fine... mumbles lousy son-of-a... gets slapped by Spike
Spike: Shut up, dude!
Jesus: Thanks, Ted.
Spike: It's Spike, Kevin.
Jesus: Right.
Pete: Why are you refering to us by our first names, kupo?
Jesus: I don't seem to like nicknames.
Pete: Don't you like the nickname we gave you?
Jesus: Actually, I figured out not long ago that "Jesus" is really my middle name, not just my nickname. Funny, huh?
Dan: Kupo. BORING! Get on with the story, Kevin Jesus!
Jesus: You don't have to shout, Dan. Anyway. continues reading It says here that Cid planned this shift of power 20 years ago, when Marche and his clan helped him beat the currupt Judges.
B-Man: Cool! Currupt Judges!
Jesus: That's it. Nothing more useful about this. Walks away and sees another article. As the rest of Woopz are leaving, Jesus stopped everyone for an announcement WAIT!
Magic: THAT'S the first time I heard Jesus shout over anything.
Spike: It's the second for me.
Ed: Me, too. mental talk At least I get a speaking role in this chapter.
Jesus: It says here that Jade was captured!
Rest of Woopz: WHAT?!
Jesus: Yes. It says here that some Seeq captured Jade while trying to find her brother in the forest.
Joe: I say we go to that place.
Pete: Me too. Where does it say, Jesus?
Jesus: reads Materiwood.
Joe: Materiwood, huh? When I first became a Judge, Cid told me to never go to Materiwood. He never told me why, though.
B-Man: Well, let's go. No Cid to govern you, right?
Joe: Right...
Magic: Well, let's go!
