"Presea, no one can stand against your axe!"

"P-Presea...you're so s-s-strong and p-pretty too."

"Duh Presea's strong. She can wield that giant axe with just one hand! And I thought I was slow..."

"Shut it Lloyd!"

"But this...is not my axe."

"Huh?" Both boys turned around to look at the one they were praising with confused faces. "What do you mean that's not your axe?"

"... Lloyd, look before you ask."

"What do you mean Genis? Presea couldn't have kicked those monster's BEhind without her axe."

"Ugh Lloyd you are impossible. Whatever Presea's holding it is clearly not her axe." Raine rubbed her temples, exasperated that one of her students was so clueless.

"I think it's cute. We should name it Babs! Or I know! Let's call it Cream!"

"Ah my little rosebud, so deadly even when your weapon is so...cute."

"Who ever thought that those could be used as weapons? Although the little girls back in Mizuho probably already knew..." Sheena shuddered just thinking of what happened to that unfortunate little boy. He had been bullying some girls when they decided that they had enough and struck back. Presea's "axe" had been one of the weapons used by the girls.

Regal just stood in shock of what just happened.

"Huh? What are you guys talking about?" Clueless as ever, Lloyd finally decided to look. And then he STARED.

Clutched in Presea's hand was a pink...ear? The pink ear was attached to a pink head with cute black eyes and an even cuter black nose. Another pink ear poked out next to the one held by Presea. Attached to the pink head was a pink body along with stubby pink arms and pink legs. All in all it was, well, pink.

Coming out of his daze Regal said, "Presea you are ... quite strong..."

"MARVELOUS! Presea you simply must tell me how you are able to conjure up this...this adorable weapon!"

"Answer is...unknown." The stars in Raine's eyes were snuffed out of existence.

"But then you should at least know where this phenomena came from." A faint glow shined hopefully in her eyes again.

"Huh? What are you talking about? Feenoma?"

Genis rolled his eyes and answered, "It's phenomena and it means something that is unusual."

"Why didn't you just say that in the first place then?"

"Answer is...unknown." Presea's reply to Raine cut through the boys' argument in addition to Raine's starry eyes.

"B-but how?! It can't come from nowhere! Your weapon can't spontaneously change into something else! Spontaneous anything is against the laws of physics!" A pause. Then a gleam in the Professor's eyes. "You must let me study it!"

"Negative."

"Perhaps we should continue this later." Regal had, by now, returned completely to his calm, regal (pun intended) self. "It would be best to set up camp while there is still light." This was said a little louder so the group could hear over Raine's protests regarding Presea's decision.

"Oh! I'll get the firewood! … Whoopsie!"

"Ow!"

"Sheena hunny, can you move a little to the right?"

A card (sutra? talisman?) smacked Zelos square on the forehead, flying from Sheena's hand where she lay under Collette after the blonde Chosen's tumble.

"I'll smack you!"

"Forewarnings are supposed to come before..." grumbled the other Chosen as he rubbed his forehead.

As the group settled down for the night, the pink weapon was forgotten. And so, the Journey of Regeneration continued peacefully.

Until the weapon came back and the cycle repeated.


A/N: Screen fade to black, blah credits blah, applause, the end. My first fanfic is done. Started June 18, 2006, ended June 9, 2013. And this is why I will never be a writer.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed.
