MSS: I hope the summary was good. Anyways, I came up with this idea when my cat, Oreo, tried to steal my homework today. Yes, he actually did that. Just to let you know, Oreo is always taking my stuff and hiding it. Just so you get this fic.

Raine: Master Summoner Sheena does not own Tales of Symphonia; otherwise I would get a lot longer to study the ruins.

MSS: You would?

Raine: You know, I need someone to test my new recipe.

MSS: I mean, yeah, you'd get as long as you wanted to study the ruins.

Raine: I thought so.

MSS: By the way, I decided on Tori as my nickname. That isn't my real name, just to let you know. Also, I do own Oreo. In fact, he's in my lap right now.

Oreo: Puuuurrrrrr.

Raine: Ignore us, just start reading.

Chapter 1: Good Morning Dirk- Hey, Where's the Eternal Sword?

Tori sat down to type her newest fanfic. Seeing her sitting down, her cat contentedly sat in her lap purring. His name is Oreo, named because he's black with a white stripe around his neck. Anyway, she had barely typed the first paragraph when he leaped at the screen.

"Oreo!" exclaimed Tori, "What are you doing?" The cat passed completely through the screen.

Lloyd was frantically digging through his collection of swords. Please let it be in here, please, it has to be. That morning, he had woken up only to see the Eternal Sword was missing. He had spent the next five hours looking all over Dirk's house for it. Pausing, he got a sudden idea. Origin should know where it is. It is his sword.

Lloyd hurriedly left the house, hoping he could find Sheena quickly so she could summon Origin. If Mithos or one of the Grand Cardinals finds it first, we're all doomed.

Dirk watched as Lloyd ran out of the house. Not knowing what had happened; he shrugged and went back to the Spiritua Statue he was forging.

Little did Lloyd know a black cat with a white stripe was walking through the forest, carrying a purple sword in his mouth.

Forcystus, for some unknown reason, was taking a walk through the Iselia Forest. He stopped upon seeing a cat sitting behind what could only be the Eternal Sword. The cat lay down and started playing with the sword, purring very loudly. Forcystus smirked. It would be too easy to get the Eternal Sword for Yggdrasil.

As he approached, the cat looked up and growled. Forcystus smiled a little and bent down to grab the sword…

"YEOWCH!" he shrieked. The cat had grabbed his hand and dug his claws in. When he was sure Forcystus would be unable to shake him off, he started biting.

Forcystus used his mechanical arm in an attempt to knock the cat off. The cat, seeing it coming towards him, immediately let go. It picked up the sword in its mouth and ran off.

Forcystus stared after it for a moment then, deciding not to mention this to anybody, walked off.

Lloyd anxiously flew to Mizuho. As he landed, someone familiar ran up to him.

"Lloyd! Why are you here?" asked Orochi.

"Orochi, I need to see Sheena. I need Sheena to summon Origin for me. The Eternal Sword is missing, and Origin should know where it is," said Lloyd, slightly out of breath.

"I understand. We can't allow Mithos to retrieve it at all costs. Sheena is in the Chief's house with her grandfather and Tiga," directed Orochi.

"Thanks," said Lloyd as he ran to the Chief's house. He knocked on the door.

"You may enter," came the sound of Tiga's voice from inside. Lloyd immediately entered.

"Lloyd! It's really good to see you," exclaimed Sheena, until she saw the look on Lloyd's face. "What's wrong?"

"The Eternal Sword is missing. I need you to summon Origin," Lloyd said, getting bored from having to repeat himself.

Sheena nodded, "Alright. I call upon the king of the Summon Spirits. I summon thee, come, Origin!"

Origin appeared. "What is it?"

"The Eternal Sword is missing, and I need to find it before Mithos does," said Lloyd for the umpteenth time.

"Very well," said Origin. Instantly Lloyd saw where the sword was. It was kind of weird. He was still in Mizuho, but was looking at Triet. Lying in the sun was a cat taking a nap. Next to it was the sword. The image faded.

"Thanks, Origin," Lloyd turned towards Sheena. "I'd better get going before someone else finds it."

"Let me know what happens," said Sheena, watching as Lloyd pulled out his wings and flew away. "I wonder how the cat even got the Eternal Sword?"

Lloyd looked at the cat lying asleep at his feet and wondered the same thing as Sheena. Shrugging, he reached down to pick up the sword. Just then, the cat yawned and stretched, opening its eyes. It looked up at Lloyd sleepily. Lloyd reached down to pet it.

"OUCH! What was that for?" Lloyd clutched his bleeding hand.

A person near him laughed. "Anyone who has bothered that cat as been scratched or bitten. I would just leave him alone if I were you."

Lloyd frowned. He was not about to give up, especially now that he had found the Eternal Sword. Thinking for a moment, he managed to come up with a plan.

"Does the kitty like swords?" Lloyd asked. He took a Knight's Saber from a nearby stall and set it next to the cat. While it was sniffing the new sword, Lloyd snatched up the Eternal Sword.

"I hope you're going to pay for that," said the shopkeeper warningly.

"Hey," said Lloyd, "It's still right here. You can just take it back."

The shopkeeper gave him a look. "I'm not suicidal."

Luckily for Lloyd, he was saved having to think of how to get the Knight's Saber back from the cat. The cat gave it one last sniff then walked away, its tail in the air. Lloyd picked up the Knight's Saber and handed it back to the shopkeeper. As he exited Triet, he thought, For some reason I don't think that's the last I'll see of that cat…

How right he was. Far off, at the Asgard ranch, Kvar was about to get a big surprise…

MSS: And… done!

Sheena: Please review.

MSS: Yeah, even though this probably wasn't the greatest of chapters. I have a great idea for the next one, though.

Zelos: And remember, no flames.

MSS: Though if anyone has any advice, I'd love to hear it.
