Summary: Lloyd and Colette went of to their own journey of collecting exspheres after the great hero, Lloyd, went off and revived the great tree and returned the world to what it was before Mithos ever existed. After a week though, they got bored of their tiresome adventure so they turned around and invited the old gang to go with. Just like old times, they hope. . .
Disclaimer: Holy shitz! I forgot to put up the disclaimer. . . Well I do not own Tales of Symphonia. Seriously, would the CEO of Namco write fanfic about something he/she owns?
Care to join?
"Hey Sheena!!!" Lloyd said, running up to the fellow ninja.
"L-Lloyd! What are you doing here?" stuttered Sheena, that was currently "training" at the rice feilds.
"Are you busy for?" asked Lloyd.
"Why do you ask that?" she asked, shocked and curious of what the swordman could possibly be asking for.
"Well Colette and I was planning on collecting exspheres around the world, but then we decided that it would be boring for just the two of us so we decided it was best for the whole party come with. Would you like to come with?" explained Lloyd. He really hoped that everyone agrees with coming along. It just doesn't seem right without Genis's smart mouth, Raine's lectures, Sheena's temper, Regal's cooking, Presea's calculations, and the free gels that the groups gets from Zelos's flirting.
"Well I have to go train for the position for head chief, you know?" Sheena said . She actually did miss Lloyd and the others for the week they have gone their separate ways. It just didn't feel right anymore to not be around them. She loved Mizuho, but she has grown fond of the endless traveling around the world.
"Well its not going to take up our whole lives. We just need to visit every city and ask around for exspheres."
"Hmm, seems fine to me. As long as I return to Mizuho by the time the chief retires, I'm in," Sheena said when she was looking around the place. There seemed to be something missing. . .
"By the way Lloyd, where's Colette? Wasn't she supposed to be with you?"
"Oh, Colette took off to Altessia's house. She said that she heard something about the Professor and Genis being there." Lloyd simply said.
"Aren't you worried about her going by herself?" Sheena asked. Like everyone else that has ever meet Lloyd and Colette, knew that Lloyd and Colette had a thing for each other. How did one not see it? They make it so goddamm obvious everytime they conversate with each other.
flashback. . . .
During the journey to defeat Mithos, the group decided the best way for them to recover some of the damage they have received by the evil grasshoppers and giant ladybugs was to settle down for lunch. When Genis and Sheena finished giving everyone their share of miso stew, Lloyd sat down next to Collete that was poking at the stew in curiousity.
"Hey Colette, make sure you finish your stew." said cheerfully said to the under-the-mood Chosen.
"I know, I will." Colette replied, trying to put her up to a good mood so Lloyd wouldn't worry.
"You need to keep up your strength. You still have that Cruxis Crystal so we never know what might happen to you in the future." explained Lloyd in that stern voice. He was NOT going to let Colette slip by his warning this time.
Colette giggled then sighed as she was joyous for the fact that Lloyd was worried about her."Sorry for worrying you, Lloyd."
Lloyd groaned and looked down onto his own bowl of miso stew, "Stop apologizing for everything. Its not your fault that I'm worried. . ."
"Sorry. . ."
The two kept on worrying about each other that made it all so painful for everyone as they didn't like the romantic atmosphere. Everytime Sheena looked at them, the bridge of her nose wrinkled and she quickly turned away to her own bowl of stew.
End of Flashback
"Naaaaah." Lloyd said.
"What?!" Sheena asked dumbly. He wasn't worried about her?!
"Well we killed Mithos so nobody is after her anymore, and I asked Kratos and Yuan. They said that there wasn't anything to worry about."
"But-"
"There's no need to be worried of her. She at leasts puts a decent fight agaisnt the monsters that wander around here."
Sheena just stood there with her eyes bulging out making it look like she just got the world's thickest glasses with invisible frames.
"Well if your going along, we need to go to Altamira to get Regal. We agreed to meet at Meltokio at the end of the day to stay over at Zelos's place." Lloyd said as he turned away and walked out to prepare the rheraids for take off.
Sheen shook her head and mumbled, "Come on Sheena, get a hold of yourself." and then ran up to catch up to Lloyd.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile on the rocky cliffs of Altessia's house. . . . .
"When we thought that we was all going to die, Lloyd tripped during his Psi Tempest and he fell ontop of the giant machine with his sword below him. Therefore his sword then pierced the glass and went straight through into Mithos's skull," Raine was explaining how they defeated Yggdrasill, leader of Cruxis.
"T-t-then Mithos-"
"HI GUYS!" exclaimed Colette as she walked into the house.
"C-Colette!" Raine stuttered, "What are you doing here?"
"Ummm, I came over here to ask you if you would like to join me and Lloyd to go on the journey to collect exspheres." Colette answered cheerfully as if her voice was full of giggles and happiness.
"A journey to collect exspheres?" asked Genis(1).
"Yep, Lloyd said that he wants to collect all the exspheres around the world so nobody will ever have to suffer to the hands of exspheres ever again." Collete answered(2).
Raine then chuckled, "Yes, that seems to be something that Lloyd would do after saving the world."
"Can we go with them Raine?" Genis excitedly asked. He always wanted to be side by side to his best friend.
"Did you not forget that we had a journey to convince others to not discriminate against half elves?" Raine pretty much knew what was the outcome of this agrument but it couldn't hurt to remind her younger brother about the journey they have planned earlier.
"Go, I doubt that collecting exspheres would really prevent you from your journey of eliminating discrimination." said Altessia.
"Please Raine." Genis begged.
"Please," begged Colette.
"Fine, but don't blame me if anything goes wrong."
"YES!!" exclaimed Genis and Colette as joined their hands and jumping around in circles.
"By the way Colette," started Raine.
"Yes?"
"Where might Lloyd be?"
"Oh yeah, where is Lloyd. He usually sticks to you like glue." Genis smirkingly said.
"Oh. . ." Collete said while looking down. "He said that we should split up and look for the others."
The professor and Genis looked at each other confusingly. Lloyd never allows Colette to stay by herself.
"It's okay though because he said that we will meet back at Zelos's place before the sun sets." Colette said in her usual cheery voice. Then she walked out of the house toward the rheairds that were parked outside.
"Did something happen between Lloyd and Colette? Lloyd ditches Colette like that." Genis said.
"Genis!" Raine yelled as she smacked him on the head. All though Raine was mad at Genis's remark, she was too worried about Lloyd and Colette.
'Lloyd you idiot. . . . '
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lloyd and Sheena has arrived at Altamira where they hoped that Regal would join as well. Although Altamira isn't a very hard city to go through, the train that brings you around takes forever to go around. Since there is only one train and a one way path, let's just say that the line was very long.
After an hour of that horrible line, the heroes finally came to the front where they were told, "This elemental train leads to the amusement park and the Lezorano Company. Which way would you like to go?"
"The Lezorano Company please." said Sheena.
"Okay then," said the guy. He walked across to the other side of the train(3) where Lloyd and Sheen had to move out of the way and said, "We are deporting for the Lezorano Company, please hold tight to the rails and keep your hands inside the train at all times."
After the five minute trip on the train, Lloyd and Sheen bided farewell to the conductor and headed for the president's office.
"You need an ID to use this elevator."
"Arrgh, I think I gave that back to George already," Lloyd flinched.
"Come on now, we've been here so many times. How do you not recognize us?"
"Sorry girl, this is business. Anyways I was just hired because the previous guard was fired for letting some guy use the elevator. I'm not going to risk this job for you people."
"Can you atleast talk to the president?" asked Lloyd.
"Nope, but I can tell him that you are here. What are your names?"
"Who are you to ask for my name?" Lloyd asked smugly.
"LLOYD!!!" Sheena yelled and smacked him on the head.
"Owwww, Zelos wasn't kiding. You do hit hard," whined Lloyd.
"What the hell made you think that you had to use that line now?!" Sheena fumed.
"I was just joking. . . ."
Sheena turned to the scared guard that was successfully scared at her fuming temper, "Our names are Sheena and Lloyd. Please tell that to the president of this company."
"U-understood" the guard shakily answered and ran up to the elevator wishing to not get in the woman's way.
-At the president's office-
"Mr.Bryant!" yelled the guard that has arrived to the office. He was obviously out of breath.
"What is wrong Bob? Is there a robber downstairs?" Regal asked.
"N-no, but there are two people by the name of Lloyd and Sheena that wish to talk to you right now."
"Hmmm, I'll go down. Thank you." Regal responded.
"I'll go too. After all Lloyd and Sheena are my friends." stated Presea in that emotionless voice.
"Alright then."
As Regal, Presea, and Bob was going down the elevator, they heard a woman yelling agressively at someone.
"YOU-STUPID-IDIOT! I-KNEW-THAT-PERVERTED-CHOSEN-WAS A-BAD-INFLUENCE-ON-YOU!" Sheena yelled so loud that it shook the whole floor shook.
"Ow, Ow, Ow, Sheeeeeeena Stop hitting me." Lloyd whined at the agressive banshee. How Lloyd wished Zelos was with him to take the heat instead.
"What is going on?" Regal asked as he walked out of the elevator along with Presea and Bob.
"Lloyd, it is unnatural for you to get Sheena angry. What happened?" stated Presea.
"Nothing, I just asked her why does she shows her bra out in the public." whined oh so innocent Lloyd.
"Oh I see," stated Presea as if there was nothing wrong with that question.
There was an akward silence in the group for awhile as in the whole room. After all, Regal's employees didn't want to bother their boss and they were also scared of Sheena. Bob on the other had escaped to the 2 floor for safety for he didn't want to get hurt on accident.
"What did you call me for?" Regal finally asked. He was never a fan of akward momments anyways. It was akward enough for him to be with his love's older sister that is actually looks alot younger.
"Oh yeah," Lloyd said normally, "We wanted to ask you if you would like to join us for a journey to collect exspheres. Presea is invited as well."
"Hmmmm, a journey to collect exspheres." thought Regal out loud.
"I would like to go along. I have no home to go to and there is nothing else left for me to do. I believe this might be the best path for me to follow." Presea said.
"Yes, it seems as though our goal is similar. I too wish for the people of this world to never lay their hands on these torturous gems," Regal said as he looked at Presea's Cruxis Crystal.
"Sooo, you're going with us, right?" asked Sheena.
"Yes, so it would seems." agreed Regal.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Presea! Presea!" Collete yelled
"Maybe she is not home." said Genis.
"Then let's retire to Meltokio for the time being. There we can tell Lloyd that we couldn't find Presea."
"Okay," replied both Genis and Colette.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh Zelos, " a mysterious women said, "when are you going to come over my place? You promised you would."
"Yes, yes my sweet hunny but I have plans for tonight," Zelos firtatously said.
"You have to go over to my place right, sweetie," said mysterious woman #2.
"In your dreams, bitch," said mysterious woman #1.
"What did you call me, slut?!" yelled mysterious woman #2.
"Well he would never go over to a whore's house like yours," said mysterious woman #5.
The group of women started to fight and this time Zelos's attempt to calm them down didn't work so he did the only thing he had left to do. He ran. Five minutes later, the women realized their "beloved" was gone. They went all over Meltokio searching for him but they couldn't find him. Of course Zelos was hiding near the local inn with his mask and hat on. It seemed to be the only thing that would give him peace for now. Soon after he returned to Meltokio, Zelos realized that he has grown tired of his local hunnies. He suddenly lost interest in them. It isn't like he fell in love with someone or anything like that. He just lost interest in the fake affection the girls were always giving to him.
'Oh why did god give me this beautiful face?' whined Zelos in his head.
When the coast was clear, he headed towards the main stairs to get back to his big but lonely mansion until he heard someone yelling his name.
"Hey Zelos! Wait up!" yelled a mysterious person from the main gates.
'No way!' he thought, 'Those girls found out who I am with the mask on? Man I'm screwed.' Zelos looked away and pretended that he did hear the yells until he heard them again.
"Wait up Zelos, it's me Lloyd and I brought Sheena, Regal, and Presea with me as well. They are outside, waiting for the others to come."
Zelos still decided to ignore the our hero even though he knew who he was.
"I know you can hear us dammit!" Lloyd said as he approached the masked swordsman.
"Shhhh," Zelos shushed, "Don't call me by my name here." Zelos then grabbed Lloyd's hand and dragged him all the way back to his mansion.
"What was that about? And why are you wearing that mask?" asked Lloyd when the arrived inside the mansion.
"Tell everyone besides the people I've been with before that I am out," Zelos told his butler.
"Understood, how many guest will be staying over tonight?"
"Ummm, Lloyd, how many people are bunking with you?" Zelos asked
"If all goes as planned then we should be having the whole team with us." answered Lloyd.
"Then seven, Sebastian,"
"Yes sir."
"So why couldn't I call out your name?" asked Lloyd.
"Its nothing, its nothing. So what brings all of my precious hunnies over to Meltokio?"
"We decided to group up again to destroy all the exspheres that still remains," said Lloyd.
"I thought that you were going to do that with little miss Colette." Zelos said curiously.
"Well we decided that it would be better if the whole group went along and just not us," Lloyd said.
"Didn't you want it to be-"
"The rest of the party is here, Master Zelos," Sebastian said when he entered the room.
"Uh, thanks Sebastian, you can leave now," said Zelos.
"Yes sir," and then he left.
"Lloyd!" exclaimed Genis as he ran up to hug him.
"Hey everyone! Nice to see you all again as a group." Lloyd said while hugging Genis back.
"Well you're the one that though up the idea for us to meet," said Raine.
"So is the Chosen going to join?" asked Regal, looking over at Zelos.
"No Regal, Zelos isn't the Chosen anymore. Remember?" said Colette.
"Still, it would be nice if Zelos could come along with all of us," stated Presea.
"Awww, Presea wants me to go!" said Zelos.
"You stupid Cho-mean Ex-Chosen! She didn't mean it like that!" Sheen yelled and added a bump on Zelos's head.
"So is Zelos coming or not?" asked Raine.
"Yes, yes. I'll join your little journey.
"Yay! This is going to be just like old times!" squealed Colette.
"But this time we don't need to worry about Cruxis kidnapping you," said Lloyd.
"Indeed," said Persea.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So Lloyd," said Zelos after Colette just left along with Genis and Presea.
"What?" They were all done eating dinner and now at the 2nd Living room where everyone was talking and catching up.
"Why did you invite all of us to the journey?" asked Zelos.
"Didn't I tell you it was because Collete and I got bored of just having both of us instead of the entire group?"
"Yeah, but. . . " Zelos looked to make sure that Colette was gone before saying, "Didn't you want to be alone with Colette?"
"What?"
"Yeah, I wondered that too.I don't expect you to be a pervert like Zelos but I thought that this would be the time that you and Colette would start being more then. . . friends" Sheena said as she joined the conversation.
"And why did you leave Colette by herself today?" asked Raine.
"Yes, I think this issue has been bugging all of us," said Regal as he was curious too.
"What are you talking about? What more can be and Colette be then friends and why wasn't it okay to leave her by herself. I doubt that there are any monsters powerful enough to hurt her severely." Lloyd simply replied. He was confused. Why were they making such a big fuss about leaving Colette alone. Everyone in the room besides Lloyd sweat dropped.
"Lloyd." said Zelos.
"What is it this time?" asked Lloyd. He was getting pretty annoyed at the whole situation.
"Do you like Colette?" Zelos asked.
"Yeah, she's great. She was the one that offered to go with me in the first place," answered Lloyd.(4)
"No," said Zelos, "I mean, do you like her sexually?"
"Sexually?" Lloyd repeated and chocked his head to the side.
'Please tell me that he knows what that means' thought everyone in the room.
The A/N's I wanted to put in the story. They aren't much but my thoughts are funny and I believe they should be heard.
(1) I HATE how Genis always repeats things that need to be explained. I can't stand it. Genis couldn't be Genis without him asking about some idiotic declarative requests (statements that ask for explanation even though they aren't questions). I just had to say something. XD Sorry guys.
(2) Another thing I hate is how Colette seems to never think for herself. She always repeats Lloyd's ideals. I swear if Lloyd was replaced by a mindless guy, Colette woud already be dead from being sacrificed by Cruxis.
(3) I hate that train. It just get on my nerves somehow. I don't know if the guy goes to the other side though but let's just say that he does. Who really pays attention to the game that much anyways. Actually to tell you the truth, I'm not even really sure that it was a train. All I know is that it is so boring thing that brings you to whatever because the designers were too lazy to draw the map plan for Altamira.
(4) Actually I don't know if she did. It has been such a long time since i allowed Colette to like me )
Cheri-chan- So This is the first chapter. . . . This story doesn't really have a plot in general yet. It's just like some ongoing story after the game ended. It would just be like Naruto! (random guy throws a bell pepper at me) So I am aware that this story started a little LloydxColette and I apologize to the people that don't like the couple or do like it. I DO NOT plan on making this a LloydxColette fic because I personally hate the couple. I'm just following the flow of where the game left off. I believe that Colette likes Lloyd but Lloyd doesn't like her because he doesn't like anyone sexually. Atleast yet. . . Mwuahahahahahahah
Lloyd- Shut up! How dare you plan to make me fall in love!
Cheri-chan- ignores Lloyd and goes on I am begging for reviews so please do so. As long as they aren't flames I would love it. Anybody could post a review! Don't be shy! If you add something that you want to happen in the story, I'll think about adding it.
