It was debriefing. Griff was prepared with his hands near his belt. But then it struck him. It wasn't that kind of debriefing.

He blinked his blue eyes as he watched and listened to Lorenzo.

First that old man had called Serah a coward.

[color=fff200][i]'Serah and Atty are cowards?! This is bullshit! That was totally a warrior like move!'[/i][/color] He mentally lashed out, Lorenzo was starting to look more like a dark galactic ranger for every passing minute, even if he had to admit that the old geezer had a point that you fight to live not to die. Still it left a bad taste in Griff's mouth, he wanted to tighten his fist and whack the old guy right in the-

Then he continued on to calling Arrish foolish, well Arrish was a little foolish at times and he sucked as the last hope for their team. Losing wasn't something the red ranger did. Arrish had to be stripped of the right to ever don the colour red on his suit or frame from now on. But Arrish had gone to rescue Elora, taking what Griff considered were his job, but still he had been a good temporary replacement. Even if he totally failed to defeat the nerd. He didn't deserve the old man's harsh words. He couldn't hate Arrish. 

When Lorenzo came to Elora, Griff felt the urge to toss his helmet at the old guy and yell at him. How dared he talk to his student that way! Elora was his friend! How dared he put blame on her- That's it. Griff was going to beat him up, even if that meant a month in the brig. No one talks to his buddy like that. But Griff was curious what he would say about the others. When Lorenzo began to speak about Sparks and calling out his cowardice. Griff momentarily forgot about his anger and nodded his head quickly, somehow Lorenzo also was able to speak some truth. That cheeky stupid nerdy Sparks guy. Grr.

Then the bastard forgot Minerva. How could he possibly forget her? Her abs were huge! Griff's eyebrows twitched and his anger flared up a little again. At least he complimented Bug, who now got awarded secondary squad leader and Ava getting primary. Griff did a victory arm pump to celebrate. Had it been Sparks, Minerva or Arrish. He might have had to call in sick.

[color=fff200][b]"Congrats buggyboy- I mean sir Buggyboy! The Griffman is at your service sir and yours too ma'am!"[/b][/color] Griff made a salute to Bug and Ava and felt abit better, having forgotten momentarily how Sparks had won the simulation. But he still had something to do. That old geezer. His temper flaring up again as he was reminded of the man's words.

[color=fff200][b]"I have a question for you ol' geezer! Why are you such a stuck up jerk?! I get calling Sparks a coward! Cause he is! But saying that Atty and Serah are cowards? They were really brave charging in alone, so was that clone guy whose name I can't remember who got blown up in the matter of a few seconds! They are here fighting at their best while some other guys are back on their home planet drinking beer and not giving a damn! Arrish and Mema-Ka tried to save a comerade in battle there is no greater act than putting ones own life in danger to save a friend! And saying that Elora is the sole reason for our team losing isn't just mean, it's wrong! She really tried her best! I am proud of her! I am not gonna let you call her the reason we lost, we lost because... Team Mango worked better as a team and I failed my teammates! So if you are gonna blame someone you wrinkly old hagbag, then blame me!"[/b][/color] Griff bit his teeth together, his eyes narrowing, his eyebrows vibrating, some tears almost forming at his eyes as he glared towards Lorenzo. 

He had been the biggest reason for their failure. He failed Rhylaen, Aurora, Jake, Elora, Arrish and Mema-Ka. He failed all of them. If someone were at fault for their loss it was him. It was painful for him to admit it. But hearing Lorenzo's harsh words to Serah and Elora was too much for him to bear.

[color=fff200][b]"I go put myself in the brig. I know the way."[/b][/color] Griff gave Ritsu, Ava and Bug a salute and then hung his head down abit and sighed deeply.
