Raven walked silently towards Cid's office. He had sent word by another student to have Shinu to come to, there was something that Raven needed to tell them both that would help in their mission to capture the Guardian Forces.

As he approached the doors he put the hand on the handles and sighed a little before pushing the doors open and walking up to Cid's Desk.

"Headmaster Cid, there is something, something that i need to tell you and Shinu."

Shinu turned around to look at Raven, he half knew what this was about from their night at the infirmary. Cid had no clue though, so he was perhaps more anxious.

Sure sure, take a seat. We're all ears.

He nodded towards Shinu.

"Before I do that," Raven said and then pulled out a rolled up piece of paper from under his arm and rolled it out on the table before them all.

On the paper in one corner was a sketch of a diamon shaped building, with no supports holding its wider section up, it just seemed to be there. On the other parts were just maps of the different floors.

"The Centra Ruins, is what I am here to talk about."

Shinu kept his eyes peeled on the paper, attemptint to memorize it all quickly. Cid gave Raven a nod and a smile, showing him that he could continue.

"Okay The Centra Ruins is the only remaining structure of an ancient race of people known as the Centra. Not much is known about them other than they have extreme medical advancements and technology," Raven's eyes drifting over to Shinu. He knew what Raven meant by that statement.

"Well from my parents research there is only two things inhabiting this place, Tonberries and a another creature of advanced power and strength. The tonberries act in a Monarchy following a king of sorts, and this king is known to be a Guardian Force. No one though has came out the ruins alive, well not multiple times in a row, they were either slaing by the tonberries or the creature," Raven said and then paused to allow them to gather what he had said.

"Though the main thing is what that creature is guarding, and his chamber is in the middle of the structure," Raven said pointing to the middle floor. "Though it is protected by a code of sorts, which my parents managed to find and get, but before they could do anything they were slain. But from my dads notes the code is held by a statue at the very top of the structure," And raven then moved his hand to the top floor map.

"A gargoyle with eyes of ruby shall give the code to which the beast lies," Raven said and then sighed and closed his eyes before looking at the two.

"The Guardian Force, Odin"

I see...... son what you have here, that sounds dangerous. I don't know...

We're not ready, you're right. But we will be. Cid this can be a mission, or a death wish for just the two of us. We need you to dispatch our friends so we can be successful. With a power like that in the wrong hands, it could be destroyed.

Cid gave a heavy sigh and sat back in his chair.

Raven's eyes changed to a more dangerous look when he looked at Cid.

"If we do this, there is one thing, I want no one but us to know about Odin. I will take care of the bastard myself," Raven said his voice serious.

"I will make sure the weilder of the Zantetsuken will fall."

You have my word.

You have mine as well Raven, I don't interefere with family circumstances, that is not any of my business. However, I do not want to lose students over a grudge, is that understood? If you go, it will be a Garden wide mission, not a solo one.

Cid sat back in his chair breathing a hard sigh. This wasn't something he was planning to hear today.

Well we could just go with Raven to make sure he gets him one on one. I can go after the Tonberry King while he deals with Odin. What do you think guys?
