"An Evil side" (Noth Window - Radat Town) Grenseal repeatedly did Three Consecutive Swipes with his training sword, each one getting faster until he repeated. The rest of the soldiers with him were also training hard, doing the three consecutive slashes at the post. With a normal sword cutting the post down could be doe in one swipe, but with the dull blade they had, they were forced to rely on their strength rather in the blade to slice the post. Outside the Training Grounds, a young boy stood waiting, bearing ill news, he waited for three hours until the Soldiers finished cutting the post. Tired from the Training, Grenseal prepared to head to the Barracks to get some much needed rest, before the young man could reach his room, a young boy stopped him. "What is it" Grenseal said yawning "Hurry it up, my arms feel like lead, and my training doubles tomorrow" "Yes, but I received news from Lenankamp, a bunch of bandits raided the town, stealing everything and killing your family" The boy answered sadly "I'm sorry...." "WHAT!?!?" Grenseal shouted "Where'd the Bandits go?" "They disappeared after they raided" The boy answered again "Similar raids have been reported in Harmonia, Highland, Jouston, Grasslands and many other countries" "I have to see for myself, tell General Teo I will be returning home for a short visit" Grenseal said, as he turned and ran to Lenankamp. Once again, Thunder rose from his bed, from another strange dream, it was strange, it was in the Former Scarlet Moon Empire, a place Thunder had never visited. And a soldier similar to him, only younger, Thunder shook the thoughts off and proceeded to dress. Today he would go to the South Window, Radat road to recruit more bandits for Talrick's group. The pirates had given up immediately after there boss died and joined the North Window Bandits. Thunder tied his bandanna around his blonde hair and proceeded out of the room. Everyone else was entering a leaving with loot dropping it into the Vault, some getting ready to do thievery, the North Window Bandits were making the area unpopular. While the Bandits only numbered 200, they were more famous and all crimes were associated with them. Since the Lakewest incident, the majority of people figured their were over 1,000 Bandits holed up there. He continues his way downstairs 'till he reached the exit, the other top two fighters, Sicily and Zinn had already left, leaving Thunder to deal with rookies. Before him stood 3 Bandits, one was a short bald Bandit with Crooked Yellow Teeth, the 2nd was a fancy dressed man with a strange looking weapon, the third was a little brat kid with a slingshot. Thunder let out a audible sigh as he saw his crew, he looked at the Bald Guy and the Kid.
"Heh, I'm late" The Bandit said "Sydonia reporting and stuff" "Fine, whatever" Thunder replied "Lets get going" "Heh, Sure" Sydonia said as he followed Thunder and the other two Bandits out of the Castle. They traveled two days straight, Sydonia seemed to be spying on Thunder the whole time keeping a close eye on him. The other two Bandits turned out to be Klutzes and Thunder decided to have them caught by the authorities and leave them behind. Sydonia on the other hand, he figured couldn't be caught with his strange teleporting he seemed to do.Sydonia's spying on him was really getting on Thunder's nerves. He had tried to grab him dozens of times, but he was faster that Sicily was. Finally Thunder in routine showered and headed to his tent, but instead of hitting the sack, he waited patiently for Sydonia to come. On cue Sydonia teleported in and went through Thunder's stuff, before the Bandit was able to grab Thunder's pouch, he was thrown over and grabbed by Thunder. Who sat on his back, with his knee ramming into his back and holding both his arms upwards. "Alright Sydonia" Thunder began "I want some answers! Why are you following me around and spying on me!" "Heh, Why Bother" Sydonia said as he teleported behind Thunder "Even Without Amnesia you probably wouldn't recognize me" "What?" Thunder asked "I don't have Amnesia you Moron!" "Sure you don't" Sydonia replied
"I know for a fact that you are Grenseal" "What did you say!" Thunder shouted grabbing Sydonia and lifting him up by his shirt collar "What do you know about Grenseal?" "What I know is your him" Sydonia said as he teleported once more "I never forget a face, especially one that was a fellow war-veteran" "So your saying that I am Grenseal?" Thunder asked "Do you have proof?" "Heh, yeah, give me your sword" Sydonia said as he took the sword from Grenseal, he pointed to a very small inscription under True Thunder Sword "There, it says Grenseal" "Met me see that" Thunder stated as he grabbed his sword and looked, sure enough it said it "Fine, so your right" "Hmm... So he thinks I'm this Grenseal person... perhaps I should find out more on this person, it may be useful" Thunder thought "I'll have to press for more information" "So, what was I like?" Thunder asked "And what was my position" "Heh, I think you became Co-Commander of the Toran Defense" Sydonia answered "Didn't bother remembering" "Well perhaps I should return home to Gregminister" Thunder answered "Then I can get my memories back" "Heh, sounds fun" Sydonia said "I'll tag along, I haven't seen Old Varkas in awhile either" Radat Town Thunder and Sydonia managed to ditch the other two Bandits and get to Radat town, as expected, Rough Sailors and Traders littered the town. (like in every Radat Chapter) They took a long Glance at the Mansion near the docks, Sydonia teleported then teleported back with some money. "Heh, that Mansion is loaded" Sydonia said "We got enough Potch for a Ride to Banner now" "Good" Thunder said "Lets get out of this dump and find a boat" "Allow me" Sydonia said, he walked away and came back a few minutes later "Heh, found a boat" "Good, lets go" Thunder replied as he followed Sydonia to a boat, the captain greeted them a bit to friendly and began to take off as soon as they boarded. During the trip Thunder spent his time at the head of the boat thinking, Sydonia soon resumed his spying on Thunder watching him closely. "So... your still Thunder" Sydonia said as he appeared behind Thunder "What's your trick?" "What do you mean" Thunder asked "Blast he saw through it" "Heh, this'll help" Sydonia said as he swung an oar into Thunder's face knocking him unconscious.
Grenseal glanced around, it was darkness all around, suddenly a duplicate of him emerged only with red eyes and slightly changed featured.Grenseal and his other, Thunder stared at eachother for a few seconds, Thunder took off slashing Grenseal. The injured Grenseal fell to the ground clutching his arm staring at Thunder. "Get out of me" Grenseal screamed in a fury "Leave me be!" "Leave you be" Thunder scoffed "I am you!, We cannot separate. but I can have control, and look, I have a personality and a appearance as well, I'm as real as you are now" "I am the real one...." Grenseal stated as he stood "You are an Impostor who I will kill" "You cannot Kill me without killing us" Thunder laughed "We have been together for a long time now, I remember my first time out, with that Coward's Son" "Why you...." Grenseal mumbled as he clenched his fist "I won't let you ruin my life!" "The exact word we spouted to our dad when we ran away to Gregminister" Thunder said thinking back "Only a year later he, your mom and our siblings were killed" Grenseal remained speechless as his eyes burned in a rage, he picked up his sword and slashed Thunder down "DIE!" "So be it" Thunder said as he dissipated "But I'm not gone yet, I will soon retake control over our body" Grenseal sat up rubbing the lump on his head, in front of him Sydonia said with his usual over-confident grin."So are you can Grenseal" Sydonia asked as he held the Oar ready to attack again. "Yeah... I'm me" Grenseal said "Get this boat turned around, we need to head to Highland first!" "Heh, Sure whatever" Sydonia said as he teleported, coming back a few seconds later "Alright, were on our way"
