This takes place when Kratos stops Lloyd at the Tower of Mana and Yuan confronts Kratos. As they battle, memories come passing through about their once past friendship and their past battles. Enjoy Note: I made a lot of this crap up, so don't be mad:

Yuan's Foe

The group of eight ran as fast as they can to reach to the top, Sheena yelled, 'The teleportation platform, it's right there! Let's go!' She ran, along with Regal, Presea, Raine and Colette. Lloyd, Zelos and Genis stood behind to stop a ghost that came across their path. Genis attacked it off with a fireball, and it vanished.

Zelos said, 'Man, these guys are weak.' Genis said, 'I think it's because we've become a lot stronger since the last time we've come here.'

Zelos just laughed, 'You mean at one point, you lost a fight to these losers! How weak!' Genis grew angry and shook his fist at him, Lloyd interrupted, 'Come on, we gotta go. Sheena, Regal and the others are waiting for us.' Zelos laughed again, 'Oh right, you're ninja girlfriend is waiting for you!' Lloyd turned red and said, 'Are you ever serious!' Zelos said calmly, 'Yes, like just now.' Lloyd yelled, 'Shaddup, we gotta forge that pact! Dumbass!' Lloyd and Genis ran, Zelos walked saying, 'Harsh.' Then he continued to run.

As they reached the platform area, Lloyd and Genis stopped, making Zelos run into Lloyd and falling down on his ass. 'Oww, why'd you sto…' Zelos then looked forward. He saw a familiar face, he was shocked to have seen the traitorous mercenary, the angel of Cruxis, Kratos.

'Stop!' Kratos yelled.

Lloyd yelled as Zelos got back up, 'Kratos, don't get in our way!'

'Hear me out, Derris Kharlan's main frame made its final calculations.' Said Kratos, 'If you make a pact with the final summon spirit, the Great Seed will germinate…'

A voice came out of no where saying, 'And that's exactly what we desire!' Then a small blue ball of electricity came towards Kratos, he dodged it quickly. Then a man came forward really fast. He had blue hair, like that of an elf, and a cape. It was a half-elf, another angel of Cruxis, leader of the Renegades, Yuan.

Kratos shook his fist and said, 'Don't you see, what you hope for can never come!'

Yuan, enraged, said, 'Silence, do you think we would seize this opportunity!' Another blue ball of electricity appeared, this time in his hand, he was aiming the ball at Kratos. As he was preparing his attack he yelled, 'Lloyd, I'll take care of him. Go form a pact with the Summon Spirit of Light!'

Lloyd looked and said calmly, 'All right. Genis, Zelos, let's go!' Lloyd and Genis went through the warp pad, Zelos looked at Yuan, then entered as well.

Yuan then shot his Thunder Ball at Kratos, Kratos then shielded it with his sword. Kratos said, 'So… it's true, you're against Cruxis this entire time.' Yuan said nothing, Kratos continued, 'I didn't want to believe it, I thought of it, but I didn't believe it. How could you betray Lord Yggdrassil like this, this is below you, Yuan.'

Yuan yelled, 'Oh come on! I know you haven't been all loyal to Mithos either, why do you insist on obeying that child!?' Kratos held his sword up and said, 'I have not the need to explain myself to you.' Yuan threw off his cape and said, 'So, this is how you shall die… it's almost as she said…' Kratos said with wonder, 'Who said what?' Yuan grabbed his giant weapon and said, 'Why do you care, you won't survive to find her, Kratos Aurion dies today!'

Kratos charged towards Yuan, and Yuan towards Kratos. Yuan thought, 'When did it come to this, stupid Kratos, my stupid… human friend.'

'Kratos wake up… Kratos! Wake up!' said a strange boyish voice, Kratos eyes were closed tight, 'Kratos!' Kratos then felt a pain in his ribs, so he awoke himself. He yelled with his eyes half asleep, 'Oww… you didn't have to kick me like that Mithos!' Kratos looked up and saw a blonde boy with strange Elvin clothing, it was the young Mithos Yggdrassil.

Mithos said, 'God damn you're lazy! Martel and Yuan left a half an hour ago!' Kratos stood up, 'What, why didn't you wake me!?' Mithos shook his fist and yelled, 'What do you think I have been trying to do! How can you sleep like that, on the dirty ground, near a filthy tree and with your face in the ground?' Kratos said, 'I'm not going to answer that, come on, let's go.' The two ran towards the entrance of the forest.

We see a Yuan and a young maiden, must be Martel, standing by the entrance waiting for them. Martel waved at Mithos and Kratos, Yuan just looked forward at the entrance. Mithos ran straight to Martel saying, 'Sorry it took so long sis, Kratos was sleeping for like FOREVER!' Kratos hit the kids head, Mithos yelled, 'Oww!' Martel and Yuan laughed, Kratos said, 'Well excuse me, I need my… human sleep.' Yuan said with a smirk, 'And how is human sleep any different from half- elf sleep?' Kratos eyes squinted, 'Shut up… why did you two go ahead without us. You coulda woken me!' Yuan and Martel looked at each other, Yuan's face turned red, Martel said, 'We just wanted to get a look ahead, that way there wouldn't be any trouble when you two come through.'

Mithos and Kratos' eyes squinted, they both said, 'Sure.' Mithos then continued, 'Well, come on let's go then. We have to get across this region and meet the king.' Martel said, 'Mithos is right, we mustn't forget why we're on this journey.' Kratos said, 'Of course, but let's not forget to live a little. During these times, living… is not that simple anymore.' Everyone looked depressed, so Kratos broke the ice, 'Come on let's go… we could race to that mountain region.' Mithos laughed, 'Thanks Kratos, but let's just walk. We're not in a big hurry, like you said. Come sis.' Martel and Mithos walked ahead of Yuan and Kratos.

'Wow, you're not very good at entertaining us as you are depressing!' Yuan joked.

'Well, at least I tried making an excuse for a situation, you had to let her do it for you… wanting to get ahead!?' Kratos also joked.

'Shut up!'

'You wanted to 'get ahead' all right. Me and Mithos already know, if not Mithos than at least me!'

'Shut up, stupid human!'

'Jackass half- elf!'

'Magic jerk!'

'Thunder stupid!'

Martel yelled, 'Are you two fighting again!' Kratos put his arm around Yuan and said quickly, 'What, no. We're just joking around.' Yuan did the same, 'Yup, we're good friends.' Martel then smiled and looked forward and continued to walk with Mithos. Kratos and Yuan then released their arms from each other and continued.

'Stupid.'

'Jackass!'

As they stopped, they then both smiled.

'Kratos! Feel the shock treatment! Indignation!' yelled Yuan as he stopped running towards Kratos, then a barrier of electricity surrounded Kratos, keeping Kratos in, and shocking him. As the barrier vanished, Kratos was still standing, he held his sword attacked Yuan with a Thunder Blade. Yuan quickly moved, avoiding the attack.

Yuan said, 'Come on Kratos, is that you're best shot! I'm the master of thunder and lightning! You cannot hit me…' Kratos launched another Thunder Blade attack, this time it hit Yuan. When the blade hit him, shock him, then vanished, Yuan was gasping for breath. Kratos said, 'You're cockiness has always gotten the best of you. Now the tables have turned, Lord Yuan, I will not go easy on you!' as he held his sword, Yuan grabbed his weapon again and said, 'Good, because I'd kill you if you did.' They both ran towards each other once again, Yuan thought again, 'When did it come to this…'
