Lloyd Irving, the Eternal Swordsman, stood looking at his mother's grave. His father Dirk walked up behind him, put a hand on his shoulder and asked his father asked his son,

"Lloyd, are you okay?"

"Yeah..." He anwsered in silent, soft voice.

"Lloyd, what are you going to do now? Kratos is now traveling through space with Derris-Kharlan, and you defeated Mithos..." His father asked in a curious voice.

Lloyd replied, "I am going on another journey to find and destroy all exspheres in the world. So there wouldn't be anymore victims like Presea, Marble, and my mom. The world would be a better place without these stones."

Lloyd's attention was turned to a group a seven people who were very familar to him. Dirk greeted them with happiness and joy to see his son's companions here. Lloyd was surprised by their arrival so early.

"Lloyd!" Colette Brunel, the former Chosen of Regeneration of Sylvarant yelled at her close friend.

"Yo Lloyd! How' it goin'?" Tethe'alla's former Chosen greeted his close bud when he crossed the logs to get closer to his house.

"Guys! What are everyone doing here!?" The Eternal Swordsman asked.

"Wow Lloyd, you forgot already? We came to see you one last time before we part ways, silly!" Genis Sage, a half-elf magician, Lloyd and Colette's best friend told him.

Lloyd annoyed by Genis' lecture, "You know Genis, you don't have to fill me in on everything, you know..."

"He is right Lloyd. You do forget much information very quickly." Raine Sage, Lloyd, Colette, and Genis' former teacher. Also Genis' older sister which means she is also a half-elf.

"What's that supposed to mean!?"

Sheena Fujibayashi, a kunoichi from Mizuho, laughed at Lloyd's unchanged personality. He gave a litte visible blush to hear Sheena's laughing at him. She stopped her laughing when she seen everyone staring at her. She then cleared her voice and said, "So... Lloyd, you ready to go...?"

"Only if Zelos and Colette are, you ready to venture out in the wide world again?" The boy in red asked his two close friends.

"I'm always ready to go!" Colette anwsered with no hesitation.

Zelos anwsered with the same attitude, "Same here, The Great Zelos is always ready to rumble!"

Lloyd turned and looked at Genis and Raine. He said to his fellow friends, "Genis Professor, good luck on your journey!"

"Yes, we will travel around the world." "And try to make it better for half-elves to live." Genis interrupted Raine and finished the journey's description. Genis also added, "Regal and Presea are now running the Lezanreno's Company in Altamira so, that's why they couldn't make it.

Lloyd accepted their situation and said farewell to Genis and Raine. He then said goodbye to his dad and set off on adventure!

"Naruto! Stop eating so much! That's why you have a stomacheache!" The pink haired kunoichi, Sakura Haruno told the boy in orange.

"But Sakura... I'm soooo hungry from that last mission! Kakashi-sensei is more strict now!" Naruto Uzumaki, the ramen-lover, whimpered as his comrade scolded him for eating too much. As Naruto spoke of his sensei, the same person walked inside the restauraunt who overheard their conversation. Kakashi asked his newly equal companion.

"So Naruto, I became more strict over these three years have I?"

"Eek, Kakashi-sensei... I didn't know you was there...!" Naruto said surprised and scared.

'I told you Naruto! Don't bad-mouth Kakashi-sensei! Now look at where you big mouth got you eh!?' Sakura thought while Naruto was being scared and scolded by sensei.

Kakashi told Naruto, "Okay Naruto, for your punishment, you shall treat me to ramen for today. As much as I want!

"Kakashi-sensei, please don't make pay for your ramen! Please don't make me! I'll do anything, but please, don't make me pay!

"Naruto, it's your punishment for being a potty mouth! Teuchi, gimme the most expensive bowl of ramen you have, super-sized!

'Dang! He's gonna spend all my good ryo! Why don't Sakura stop this from happening!?' Naruto thought as Teuchi brought a huge bowl of ramen to Kakashi who was sitting next to the kunoichi.

"Mmmmm! This looks so good and expensive!" Kakashi said smelling the aroma emitting from the bowl. The worried Naruto wondered how much just one bowl of the fancy ramen Kakashi-sensei ordered.

"Sonic Thrust!"

"Angel Feathers!"

"Pyre Seal!"

"Sonic Thrust!"

Lloyd and Zelos' weapons started to glow, One stood a distance from the other.

"You ready Zelos!?" Lloyd said excited in the battle

"Ready Bud!" "Cross Thrust!" They both yelled and zoomed through the enemy at a high speed and thrusted the zombie into submission!

"Heh, these enemies are puny and pathetic! Since we have the Eternal Sword and our most advanced weapons, nothing can stop us!" Lloyd said cheerfully. Colette was jumping up and down from her allies victory against the enemy. Zelos and Lloyd was resheathing their swords and Sheena was putting her charmed cards away.

"But Lloyd, something was very different about that zombie... It seemed to turn purple everytime it's strength started to decrease on every attack..." "Did you get a glimps of it's status with a lens?" the former chosen wondered worried.

"It seemed like a regular zombie to me." Zelos admitted.

"Zelos, Colette's right. That zombie did seem strange. Lloyd, did you find it in the Monster Book?" Sheena replied.

Lloyd, flipping through the pages looking for the zombie. Then he founded and read it out loud to the group, " It's a T. Zombie. Said to be one of the rare species that used to live on the planet of Derris-Kharlan! ten thousand health points and three thousand technical points."

Zelos asked, "Did it say anything about special abilities?"

"No, it just mentions it hp and tp. No location, no weaknesses, strengths, nothing in that catagory."

"What do you think the T in T. Zombie, Lloyd?" Colette asked being a little scared.

"Hmmm" Lloyd thought "It probably stood for Technological."

Colette said, "What about Techy!?"

Zelos said in a serious voice, "Are you serious!?"

The group was interupted by a load of noise and a loud voice in the background. It was Sheena yelling at them with a hole in the ground, sucking in flowers and tree branches.

"GUYS!!! THE T STOOD FOR TELEPORTATION ZOMBIE!!!" That got everyone's attention. Sheena was running in the opposite direction of the blacck hole, trying to get away! The others joined in the running to get free!

Zelos screamed, "Hell no! I'm not getting sucked in by that thing!

Lloyd replied still running, "We're all going to get sucked in unless we find a way to get out of here!

"But what can we do!? We can't use the Rheairds, or they'll get swallowed up along with everything else! Sheena and Colette yelled at the two swordsmen who were running for their sake as well!

Lloyd thought up a plan and thought of it quick. He remembered he, Zelos, and Colette had Cruxis Crystals. He announced it by using his first. Blue elite angel wings appeared on his back. He forcefully tried to fly away, and he suceeded. Colette and Zelos saw what Lloyd did and copied. Colette's pink angel wings appeared, along with Zelos' with his yellow/orange pair. They flew to the distance where Lloyd was and saw Sheena tired from running. She slowed down and got closer to the hole in the ground. Lloyd swooped down to save her from the fiere grasp but was too late. She fell deep within, in the darkness. Lloyd flew after her, not knowing the consequenes. The two former chosen looked at each other and nodded their heads and flew after Lloyd and Sheena. After the four were inside, the some-like gate closed and everything went back to quietness.
