Griffin took over as they headed to combat training. He was looking forward improving his fighting skills. He had learned to fight the hard way. His creation had been painful and messy. He could defend himself against attacks for the most part but he was still too easily overpowered for his comfort and he wasn't sure that he could defend someone else. He had never started a fight so he had no idea if attacking was different from defending. He imagined that it would be. 

He didn't know what to expect from the class so he had asked Zack to be ready to go to there lockdown area. His brother was happy about the suggestion but agreed. Zack didn't  handle violence well. Since they didn't know what to expect it was better for them to be prepared for the worse.
