[color=fff200][b][h2] Griff [/h2][/b][/color]

Griff ears perked up as if dragged our of a jaded haze of too long math sessions when he heard the magic words.

They would be having a team workout session with their framewerks and split up into two teams. It was like a massive tag team fighting game tournament...or like  wrestling royal rumble match.

Griff's eyes sparkled, he couldn't contain his excitement.

[color=fff200][b]"Aww yeah!"[/b][/color] He exclaomed loudly and made a victory arm pumping motion before seeing what the teams were.

[color=fff200][i]'Ahh hell no. Shiiiiiit.'[/i][/color] He lamented in his head when he realized that Rhylaen were put on his team. Why did he have to put up with something lik- Suddenly a mental image of Minerva with her arms crossed and looking at him appeared in his mind.

[color=fff200][i]'I mean... right.... fine... whatever... I guess..'[/i][/color] He pretended to kick some imaginary pebble before his eyes wandered over who else he was teaming up with. Arrish? 

[color=fff200][i]'Luvey Duvey! Well could have been alot worse, hope the girls won't distract him.'[/i][/color] Griff tapped his chin, momentarily considering blindfolding the man or showing him a magazine with old grandmothers in swimsuits to strengthen his fighting spirit.

Then he smiled on seeing Aurora had also ended up on his team. [color=fff200][i]'Allright! That huge monster machine is on our team, victory is assured!'[/i][/color] He gave a broad smile.

He loved winning. Then he saw Elora was there to. His apprentice as he liked to view her.

[color=fff200][b]"Woohoo! Same team Elora! All-right! Don't worry about the fight, stay behind me and I'll protect you from the enemy!"[/b][/color] Griff smiled broadly and gave a thumbs up.

Then finally his eyes landed on Mema-Ka. His eyes blinked a few times. Another new pilot? Looking over the guy gave him the same impression he had gotten looking at Ava or the lieutenant. That guy was no doubt the type that would throw him in the brig or get some promotion while using sweet talk and brains. Griff then realized that he had to be the brawn on the team, the wall of impending victory against the evil forces of....


Minnie! She was on the other team. His prayers for justice had somehow been answered, his ridicule at the incident that came to be known at the weightlifting challenge was still fresh in his mind. A moment of shame and loss, but worst of all he couldn't hate Minnie. She was a fellow enjoyer of abs! And he did think her smile did make hrr look more cute, he of course wouldn't tell her that, she would become even more unbearable to him.

Griff  then spotted Serah and Stella. [color=fff200][i]'Ah shit.. it's the cute girl who misunderstands everything! Crap! But... she didn't tell anyone of his shower room chaos mission or what followed.'[/i][/color] He had to be thankful then. Griff raised his hand and gave an uncertain wave to Serah and smiled. Waving and smiling at her would surely fix things between them. If not then he could suggest for them to go look at bodybuilding videos.

Griffs hopes vanished as he noticed Stella. 'Ah the stupid robot mother of hers. Hey.. wait... if I defeat the mother in combat I can prove myself as a suitable martial arts master to her little kid!' Griff connected the dots.

It did seem like Arrish buddy buggyboy were also on the other team, he had to remember to keep his eyes out for a vomit green frame in the battle. Nothing like meeting new people and then beating them up!

Then he spotted sparks. Griff's eyebrows furrowed. [color=fff200][i]'That stupid nerd! Fricking coward! He must not be allowed to win or we'll never hear rhe end of it. I am shooting him down!'[/i][/color]

Finally his eyes landed on Zel-Ghin. Griff blinked. Had he seen this guy before? He looked back to his team and concluded. The other team had cloned their teams pilot! It was probably that damn nerds idea. 

But he had to give credit where it was due, thst teal haired guy had some fancy sleeveless jacket. It made Griff grin as he thought back to some ancient movies. He had seen movies about martial artist, but also where wrestlers and bodybuilders were involved.

He mentally said the line as best as he could recall it

[color=fff200][i]'Your clothes. Give them to me.'[/i][/color] He then decided to go with Aurora, she probably had some training montage in mind. He quickly moved up next to Aurora and said in a loud whisper


[color=fff200][b]"Hey! Foureyes. I say you set sleepy on that other nerdy guy, he said something about your tech being worse than his tech. Just target that walking 2d dating machine of his and kaboom! Don't worry about anyone getting close to sleepy, they have to go through me and my metal baby first!"[/b][/color] Griff gave a thimbs up and grinned broadly at Aurora. He wasn't sure what the plan would be, all he knew were that he would try bonk as many on the other team as possible.
