Chapter 1- The New Beginning
Lloyd and Colette were sitting down on a soft chair together, laughing and telling jokes. Raine and Genis stood at a table, snacking down on some food. Presea and Regal were just talking about their plans, while Sheena was slapping Zelos for messing with her. They were having a celebration party at Lloyd's house for a new beginning, after what happened with Mithos. They were dressed in the fancy clothing they received in Meltokio at the party celebrating the Princess's rescue.
"I still can't get over the fact that you dress like this." Lloyd suddenly said to Zelos.
"It's not very comfortable, but it's very pretty." Colette replied.
Zelos laughed. "You're still a bunch of country folk."
Sheena then said, "Oh yeah, I still need to go change. I came straight from Mizuho in a hurry, so I didn't have time to." She ran to the bathroom and closed the door. Suddenly, Sheena heard a rustling sound coming from outside. She poked her head out the window and said, "Zelos, if that's you I'm going to-"
"You need me, hunny?" Zelos asked, but the voice was coming from the inside of the house, where she last saw him.
"Sh-shut up!" Sheena yelled back. She again turned her attention outside the window and listened more carefully. She saw some leaves falling off a nearby tree and Noishe laying down outside, but there was no where to see where the sound had come from. She looked around more intently and realized that a bush to her left was unnaturally swaying back and forth. Then, abruptly, a small black cloud appeared from the bush. Sheena was so dumbfounded that she stepped back and nearly fell over. She started to rub her eyes, as if her mind was playing tricks on her. While she was doing so, the cloud slowly started to ascend upward and out of seeing range. Sheena reopened her eyes and looked outside. The cloud was gone.
"Heh," she said, "It was nothing. I'm probably just stressed out or something."
A few minutes later, Sheena opened the door and stepped out, now in new clothes. She grinned and walked back to everyone.
"Well," Lloyd continued, "Me and Colette are going on a mission together to collect all the Exspheres in this land." He gave Colette a warm smile, and Colette returned it. He turned to Sheena and said, "How about you?"
"Well, with Grandma back, me and the people of Mizuho are going to-"
"Let's stop chatting and let's party!" Zelos interrupted. He went over to Raine and started mentioning how "beautiful" she looked today.
"Whatever…" Sheena grumbled, angry that Zelos interrupted her.
Later, as everyone was leaving, a noise could be heard. It was a mumbling sound from high above. It said:
"Revenge… revenge… you will all die…"
