1Angel Wings or Devil Wings?

This is my second fic. I am still going with the Sheloyd. This is going to be dark and it may be a while until the next chapter. And now the DISLAIMERATOR... GO! I do not own TOS, Namco does.

CH 1: SOMETHING IS WRONG

Ten years have gone by since the defeat of Mithos Yggdrasil. The nine heroes have changed physically and mentally. Relationships have risen to reveal themselves, others are still bottled up inside that person's head. The world has been changing, too. Destroyed cities have been rebuilt. The great tree of mana, Yggdrasil, has grown to it's full potential. The two worlds are now one, each a different continent on one planet, called Symphonia. Rehairds are now mass produced and are the main source of transportation. Derris Kharlan has set up a stronger form of the warp, which allows the people of the two worlds to move from one world to the next. Although everything has changed dramatically, one man named Lloyd Irving-Aurion has changed the most. The story of his suffering begins in the school house of Lloyds home town. Raine, Genis, Collette, and Zelos are standing in the main room. Sheena had just gone through the door.

"Ah, Sheena. You are finally here." said the now taller and wiser Raine.

"Yeah hi everyone. So Raine, the message you sent me said that there was something wrong with Lloyd. What's up?" Sheena is now taller and her body has matured even more and her feelings for Lloyd are still a secret. Sheena has also let down her hair and grown it out so it is down to her arm pits. She no longer wears her assassin out fit, but a blue kimono. When Sheena said this, Raine lowered her head and her face became very sad.

"Yes... about that. Hm, I guess that I will start at the cause of the problem. You four should take a seat." The four of them sat down and Raine began to pace in front of the chalk board.

"Five years ago, Lloyd, Yuan, and Dirk traveled to Derris Kharlan to see Kratos. While they were there, something terrible happened. From what Yuan told me, they were caught in an attempt to kill the angels president, Kratos. The assassins were loyal to Mithos and wanted the cause of his death to be punished. They thought it was Kratos. The four of them put up a valiant fight, but the angels had bombs strapped to them.. They went suicidal and killed Dirk and Kratos. After the funerals in Derris Kharlan, Yuan took over as president. Everyone wept for the two fathers except Lloyd. No one knows why but he has never been himself again. He never puts his wings away, which have now turned black. He has seceded from civilization and never comes in contact with anyone and never leaves his house. Everyone has tried to cheer him up, but he only threw us out. When I went to see him he was...almost not human. It is too terrible to describe. Yesterday, Zelos tried to cheer him up, but Lloyd became very angry and broke his arm as he threw him out." Sheena looked over at him. Zelos was...scared, he held his arm which was in a sling.

"What did you do to make him so angry?" Sheena was curious.

"Well I...did what always use to cheer me up. I showed him some pictures that I drew when I first met you. I don't do it anymore, though. I am no longer like that. I am marrieed now. To Collette. So I just figured that since he is now around my age when I was like that, he would be the same." He held up a his hand with a ring on it as Collette smiled.

"What exactly were on those drawings, Zelos?" He was always a good artist, but in a perverted way.

"Well, um. Y-you see... they were y-you, um...naked." Sheena was infuriated but didn't hit him only because of his arm.

"Ahem. Like I was saying. That is why I turned to you, Sheena. We need you to get close to Loyd to find out what is wrong with him."

"But, how can I help?"

"Oh come on! You seriously don't think that we haven't noticed how you look at each other. We all know how you feel about each other." This time Sheena blushed and did hit Zelos in the head. He fell to the ground and Collette got on her knees to help him get up.

"Is it really that obvious?"

"Yeah it is!" Collette sounded almost happy as she said it. She thought it would be a compliment. Even though Collette's body changed, her mind didn't that much. Sheena wanted to slap her, but she held back. The three sat down and turned back to Raine. But Genis spoke up.

"Sheena, we really need you to go see him. If his freinds can't get to him, then maybe his love can. Please go." Genis had gotten taller and now has large muslces. His voice is voice is also a lot deeper. His kedemma is still at his side, though.

"Alright. I will go tomorrow. I need to get some sleep from the flight over here." Sheena all spent the night at Raine's house, Genis had his own house now. Zelos and Collette slept there. That night, the only reason Sheena slept was because of the jet lag. Her thoughts and fears were keeping her up until she wore her brain out. The next day would contain something that nothing that Sheena has been through could prepare her for.

So what do you think? The next chapter will tell of what happened to Lloyd. It will probably be dark. Please review.
