Prologue: The Fight

Sweat ran down the side of face and he felt like he was gonna pass out from the exhuastion. Matthew was looking at the gaint beast and noticed it to, was almost finished. He lept up high into the air as his Sol Blade glowed and prepared to use meggiddo. He came hurtling down to the earth and slammed down on the chaos chimera with so much force the floor of the apollo sanctum cracked. The beast let out a loud howl that had knocked Matthew and his friends off their feet. When they recovered from the fall Sveta rised and unleashed shadow cannon. A very large dark blast formed from Sveta's Umbra Knuckles and hit the Chimera dead center. The monster froze up and collapsed onto the ground, it was over. Matthew just wanted to sleep for a century but, he still had a job to do.

He looked up the large ladder that seemed to be formed of light. He took a step forward and looked back at his friends. Sveta started to investigate the creature. She sniffed it quickly. "This scent... No... It... can't be."

Matthew froze and walked over and stood beside her. He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. She turned her head to him. "Matthew... This beast... It was my brother."

Tears were already forming in her eyes. He gave her a friendly hug, knowing she needed it. She wept into his arms for a couple of minutes. He let her go and she collapsed onto the ground and sat beside the body, crying softly. Matthew looked at all of his friend. Reif was busy healing everyone, Karis was pacing around worried, Tyrell was tapping his foot impatiently, Himi was looked normal, Eoleo beamed victoriously, and Amiti seemed Distant.

Matthew took up position and started the ascent to the top. Near the top he felt a force hit his body and flew back off the ladder. Not gonna give up. He thought. He started climbing again and flew off. When he got back up he heard Alex's voice. "Stop. It's useless."
He Ignored the voice and climbed once more, only to be thrown off again. "Stop." The voice was Sveta's. "I'll do it." She raised from beside her brother's body and kneeled beside Matthew. "I need to borrow your strength." She said taking ahold of his and holding it close to her chest. "please?"

He nodded and was suddenly was blinded by a light. Suddenly a rush of emotions and memories flooded his mind. Memories of Volecheck and memories of Sveta's childhood. He realized they were Sveta's memories. He looked at his paw and real- paw? Matthew double checked and noted he did have a paw. That means he was in Sveta's body. They started the ascent. "I'm sorry."

For what? He thought

"All I know is that if we do this we could die. But save thousands. But if we do... Im glad it's you im going to die with."

Yeah...

"Let's do this." They reached the top and heard an ear-splitting roar.

Suddenly Volecheck had jumped from where he layed and landed infront of then and hit them off of the lens. Matthew suddenly woke up in his own body and saw Sveta falling. He ran forward caught her just in time. Everyone looked up to where Volecheck stood. "Is it... all over?" Said Karis who was beside Amiti.

Blados, who was lying on the ground laughed, "Looks like we win."

Suddenly a voice spread out over the silence, "Sveta."

Everyone looked up and saw Volecheck standing at the top of the lens.

"Volecheck!" Sveta shouted.

"I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you Sveta."

"It's Okay! I forgive you!" Tears were welling up in her eyes again.

"I'm going to activate the lens."

"B-but if you do then..." Tears were now flowing freely down her face.

"Goodbye Sveta." Said Volechek as he faced the lens and then activated the beam.

"VOLECHECK!" Sveta cried.

That was the last thing Matthew saw. His world turned white... and then black.
