Tales of Vesperia 2 – Chapter 1: Yuri Gone Missing?

"Flynn!"

"Flynn!"

"Flynn! Please wake up!"

"N-Ngh... Who's... There...?"

"Flynn, wake up!" The voice continued to yell, trying to wake Flynn Scifo up...

Flynn sat up in his bed and moaned, "E... Estellise... Sama...?"

"Flynn! Something's happened!" Estelle yelled.

"Wh-What happened?" Flynn asked as he rubbed his eyes. He was still very sleepy.

"Yuri's missing!" Estelle screamed.

"Wh-What?" Flynn yelled in complete shock.

The Imperial Capital, Zaphias...

The Castle Throne Room...

"Wh-What do you mean Yuri is missing?" Flynn yelled as ran into the Throne Room at request by Prince Ioder.

"He disappeared this morning. We checked every single quarter of Zaphias along with Aurnion, we have also gotten word from everyone in the Guild Cities along with City Officials from contact around the whole of Terca Lumiries. He really is missing," Prince Ioder explained to Flynn.

"That's crazy!" Flynn shouted.

"Flynn..." Estelle walked up to try to comfort him.

"What can we do?" Flynn yelled.

"There is something I want you to do," Ioder looked back up at Flynn.

"What is it?" Flynn asked.

"Please go find Duke Pantarei..." Ioder said with his eyes hidden away.

"Duke?" Flynn yelled. "Why him?"

"We need Dein Nomos," Ioder answered.

"Why?" Flynn asked. "I know Dein Nomos is required for the Throne, but hasn't there been some sort of agreement without it?"

Ioder then said a little quieter, "There is a Legend that there is a hidden key within this Castle. But the only way to get to the room where it is held is with the Sword, Dein Nomos..." Ioder looked up.

"..." Flynn didn't want to say anything. He was still speechless. He then finally looked back up at the Prince and asked, "Where in the world would Duke be?"

"We don't know," Ioder nodded his head back and forth. "His whereabouts are currently unknown. Would you know after what happened after the he was defeated two years ago?"

"Actually, no... Only Yuri knew where he was..." Flynn turned back away, tears were going down his face because his best friend was missing.

"I see... Go to Myorzo and ask Judith and Rita if they would know anything. The Home of the Kritya moves around the world all of the time," Ioder suggested.

"Alright. Can Princess Estellise come with me?" Flynn asked.

"Why, of course," Ioder answered with a smile. "Everyone is her friend too."

"Okay. Come on Princess!" Flynn smiled as he gripped his Sword.

"Y-Yea!" Estelle ran with him.

Outside Zaphias...

"It's a good thing that Yuri gave me the communicator to Ba'ul. So we can contact Judith..." Flynn said as he held the horn up into air. He felt a rumble and then said into it, "Judith. Is that you?"

There was an echoing that Flynn could make out, "Flynn! What is wrong? I thought Yuri had the horn?"

"Yuri is missing and he gave it to me some time ago. We need to come to Myorzo, got a ride?" Flynn answered into the horn.

"Right away! We'll come now! Actually, the city is quite near Zaphias right now," Judith said as she ended the conversation with Flynn.

Estelle was dressed in her pink and white dress once again. She was holding her Fell Arm in her hand, looking at it. After the battle two years ago, the Fell Arms lost their power. Estelle looked into a grassy clearing and then noticed monsters. She backed up to Flynn and said softly, "M-Monsters...!"

"Why don't we take them out while we're waiting?" Flynn asked as he took his sword and shield out.

"I guess so..." Estelle took her sword and shield out.

"Photon!" Both Estelle and Flynn yelled as they finished the magic incantation. Apparently, some time after the battle, even though the Blastia gone, they could still use Magic... Something had happened along the lines of the Spirits causing something...

After awhile, all of the monsters in the area were gone as Judith finally saw them. She was in the sky, riding on her friend, Ba'ul... She looked down at them and started waving. Estelle smiled as she wove back. Flynn just smiled as he saw her.

Ba'ul landed on the ground and Judith jumped off of the ship still attached and then landed on the ground below. She still had her Fell Arm, the Spear, attached to a strap on her back. She finally asked, "So, what's going on?"

"I want to explain it all to you and Rita in Myorzo," Flynn answered.

"Alright, you two, get on!" Judith climbed back up a ladder.

"Flynn?" Estelle asked as she got to the ladder.

"Uh, nothing..." Flynn shook it off as he followed her.

Judith sat piloting and talking to Ba'ul as they flew directly to Myorzo.

Flynn was sitting down and asked, "Rita is there, right?"

"Correct. She's been studying a lot on Kritya and our Technology, Magic, and all that for a quite while now..." Judith answered with a smile.

Estelle was sitting down, fiddling around with her charm. She couldn't stop thinking about Yuri and how in the world he could be missing.

"Here we are... I love how the city moves!" Judith shouted as she pulled into the docking area for Ba'ul in the city like two years ago. The same thing, it hadn't changed at all...

Flynn jumped off from the ship and shouted, "Thanks Ba'ul! Thank you for the ride!"

Ba'ul let out a screech and Judith said, "He says, no problem. Any time."

Flynn smiled as they walked to the gates of the city. Estelle was still haggling a little behind Flynn and Judith who were talking about different things. She was still dazed over Yuri being gone. She couldn't get it out of her head. Ioder said that no one in the world could find Duke either, and he is there only little chance of even having an opportunity to find Yuri... Estelle then wondered why Ioder needed Dein Nomos... It was a special sword, yes... But what is the key that they were trying to get that required the sword...?

Judith led Flynn and Estelle to where Judith always slept, and where everyone else stayed when in Myorzo two years ago, to find hundreds of books spread around. Flynn was not surprised, as he looked around and found Rita sitting behind a pile.

"How interesting..." Rita smiled as she read a book. She didn't even realize the other three were even there... Classic Rita things...

"Look at all the books-" Estelle was cut off as she fell over an open book and knocked right into a huge pile and they all fell over Rita. Rita looked up only to see the entire stack falling over her. "Wh-WHAAAAAAA?" Rita let out a screech.

Flynn sighed and helped Estelle and Judith pick the books up. When they finally uncovered the books, Rita immediately blamed Flynn for it. Flynn backed up and pointed to Estelle as he was about to get beaten the crap out of by Rita.

"E-Estelle!" Rita yelled as she picked herself up from the pile.

Judith smiled at their little reunion.

Rita finally noticed and asked, "Where's Yuri?"

Judith and Estelle didn't say anything at all.

And finally, Flynn stepped back up and said softly...

"...Yuri's missing..."
