Yes, I have done the unthinkable. I am writing a self insert. I prepare myself for what damnation I have wrought to the world but this one has purpose. I have a mission and … just read on to find out about it and why I'm in the game. Berserk1 going in.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything mentioned that a normal person can't own, so there. :P

It has been a long week. The job was overbearing, college plans stacking up and my guild on World of Warcraft seemed to be progressing without me. The only thing that could cheer me up was the thought of playing my favorite Gamecube game of all time. Popping the second disk to Tales of Symphonia, I picked up where I left off on my fourth play through. I was at the part where the group spends the night with Altessa and where Lloyd learns that Kratos is his DAD! (A/N: I am jumping a bit into the story but I will start from earlier soon, just you wait) I play for a while and wind up at the flanoir scene where Lloyd goes outside with Sheena. Even though I'm a guy, I can't help but slightly squee with delight at such a heartwarming scene. My glee turns to anger when I think that Colette is the manufactured soulmate in the game, how you have to work very hard to build a better friendship with anyone else. After calming down and dropping my axe after Lloyd shows his obliviousness when Sheena makes a tender moment, I just lay back on my bed and stare at the ceiling. Going through my head was all the moments where Colette said "I'm sorry" and acted all cheery.
"They should just kill her off, no one would care." I blurt out loud. I need to think before I say stuff though thinking is not my best trait.
"Do you want to?" a voice sounding as clear as day was heard in my room. I get up and look around. No one is in my room.
"Umm, come again?" Now I'm really confused, I'm hearing voices, more than normal. (A/N: no not really, I'm sane on all state levels, or am I?)
"I asked if you want to kill the chosen of Slyvarant." The voice now sounded agitated, but with my intelligence, its normal.
"Oookay, what the hell are you and how did you get here?" I am a mix of fear and curiosity. A voice is heard in my head and I am given the chance of a lifetime.
"I am nothing more than one who shares your hatred with the chosen. And how I got here? Lets just say I can do many great things." This is too weird but what the hell, why not.
"Okay, you got yourself a deal." I think of something real quick that could kibosh the whole deal. "How am I supposed to get there?" I hear a light chuckle and suddenly my TV glows bright blue. A strange gel oozes out of it and onto my carpet.
"Ewww, jello is eating my room. What the hell is this supposed to be?" how dare this strange voice trash my room, which is my job and my job alone.
"Do not fear, just let it consume you and all will be well." Um, this is weird but as I said, what the hell. I place my finger on it which soon gets engulfed. It felt like jello alright and the worse part was it was warm. Soon the whole thing engulfed me and next I knew I was flying through space at miles a second. I see a small planet with a giant comet orbiting it. It was none other than Symphonia. I crash into a grassy plain outside a farm. I crawl out of the hole/crater I made with still the ooze all over me. A farmer had gone outside to see what was going on when he stopped dead in his tracks when he saw me. He was holding a pitchfork but I bet he had no intention of using it. I then use the one line I had craved to say all my life.
"Human, take me to your leader!" I almost dropped laughing but the farmer took off back to his home. I shrug and clean myself off. I look around and sure enough, it was Symphonia or rather Sylvarant's end. I look at myself realizing I had changed. My hair was a darker shade of blonde than normal, I had chainmail chest and leg pants while wearing blue gloves. I went to sit down when I felt something poke my side. I reach around and feel the hilt of a sword and the handle of an axe. Taking them both out front I study them. Putting them back, I couldn't help but smile.
"I'm in my favorite game and I get to do crap no one else can, total awesomeness." I shout completely unaware that I was being watched.
"It seems he made it here intact, lets watch to see what he does next." The figure just enters the forest, not seen by me at all.

It was now morning and I had slept very little as I was too excited to sleep. I was heading toward what I remembered to be the Ossa trail when I see a girl my age run ahead of me. She was wearing a purple robe, a pink obi and had her raven hair tied back in a pony tail. If my guess was right, that was Sheena and man is she hot in person. Wiping the drool off my mouth, I spot that she is just staring at me.
"Uh, hi?" I don't think she wants to talk as she pulls out two cards and summons a guardian. Wow, my luck is sooo great. Pat your self on the back Jason, your luck rules. I draw my weapons, rather clumsily at the fact and charge her. She just jumps over me and kicks me straight in the face. I fall into a nearby ditch and start to climb my way out when she pops up next to me. Punching me in the face then sending me flying into a tree with an uppercut, she leaves, saying something about "weak desians" or something. My pride was hurt more than my body. Still, having your ass kicked by a hot beauty is a good trade off. Limping, I follow her into the trail. Taking a position on a nearby ledge, I see that she ambushes a group of people. A boy alittle younger than me in a largely red outfit with a lot of buttons and twin swords, a small boy in shorts and white hair, a tall man with red hair and purple suit, and a girl with golden hair and a white sort of shirt thing. She quickly falls into a hole created by what I know to be Colette as Lloyd says he feels sorry for Sheena. Following them down the path avoiding, Kratos' stare every now and then, I finally come to the end only to see Sheena emerge from the entrance to a cavern. She looked pissed and I wanted to see what happened next. Taking out a camera, I take pictures of the characters during the fight for a scrap book I would make later. One pic I love the most is one of Lloyd trying to elbow Sheena in the stomach only to have his right hand make contact with her breast. Snapping a pic, I see that she smacks him hard and then proceeds to wail on him a lot more. Seeing that Raine had joined the group, I saw that Colette was all alone, easy pickings. I take out my weapons and slowly edge towards the chosen.
"Lloyd, I'll help too, after al I'm the chosen." She runs off as I swing my axe and bite into solid rock on the wall behind her. Falling off and landing with a thud, I pick myself off and run into the bushes, not wanting to give myself away. I continue to watch with interest as Sheena is taken down finally and the group leaves her behind. I go over to where she was before she teleported away and look around. There was devastated rock and land everywhere, showing where the fighting grew heaviest.
"WOW, I think I might be in trouble"
