Chapter 1: A Bloody Beginning

"Well dad, I'm off!" Llyod said. He ran off to where Colette and Noishe were waiting. Llyod thought Colette looked happier then usual.

"Llyod, before we go, can we spend one last night in Iselia? We won't be back for a while, and I want to say good-bye to everyone." Colette asked. Llyod grinned and agreed to meet her the next day.

"Just don't leave without me this time, ok?" Colette grinned and promised not to, apolgizing for trying to leave him behind last time. Llyod led Noishe back to his pen as he went back into the house.

"Llyod! That's gotta be the shortest journey I've ever seen." Dirk said as Llyod came in. Llyod sighed as Dirk chuckled.

"Very funny dad. Colette wants to spend one last night in Iselia, saying good bye to everyone, and such. I'm going to bed, so I can be up in time to go with Colette this time."

The Next Day:

When Llyod got up, the first thing he noticed was the lack of light. Llyod fumbled his way out of bed and downstairs.

"Must be before sunrise. Never been up this early. Gotta make sure not to wake up... dad!" Dirk was already cooking breakfast.

"Llyod! What a surprise to see you up before noon. Even before sunrise. You sure that Mithos isn't still in control of ye?" Llyod groaned as Dirk laughed.

"Llyod, I got the Exspheres off the people from the ranchs, and put them in the back. Not sure what it is you want to do with them, but it do it fast. My daisys need sunlight." Lloyd at Dirk in a weird way.

"Just move them before sunrise, alright?" Llyod nodded.

"Alright dad."

Later that day:

Dirk went outside as Llyod was finishing up with the exspheres. All that was left was a small mound of shards, that Llyod was disposing of by melting in a fire and shaping into what looked like...

"What, the swords Kratos and I gave you aren't good enough?" Dirk joked. Llyod looked up in surprised, not hearing Dirk come outside.

"Dad! No, of course the swords you and dad gave me are great. But I needed to get rid of the exspheres, and this seemed like the best way." Llyod took the sword out of the fire, and showed it to Dirk.

"Llyod, this'll do you no good. It's duller then a butter knife." Llyod frowned.

"I know dad. It's a symbol of the lives sacraficed to exspheres, and that no more lives will be hurt by these exspheres." Dirk nodded.

"Well, I best be off! Colette must waiting for me. Come on Noishe." Llyod hopped on Noishe and sped off owards Iselia.

A few minutes later:

"Whrilwind Rush! Torrentional Para Ball!" Llyod jumped off Noishe. That was Colette, wasn't it? Then why..

"Colette!" Lloyd rushed into the village and saw Colette down on the ground, at the end of her rope, surronded by...

"Angels? What the hell?" Llyod whipped out the Material Blades.

"Rising Falcon!" Llyod took down two angels in one strike and landed in front of Colette, who looked up.

"I'm fine Llyod. But we have to save everyone!" Lloyd turned to the next batch of angels as Colette took a Lemon Gel out of Llyod's pack.

"Tempest, Sonic Sword Rain, Raining Tiger Blade!" Llyod took out two angels, and nearly took out another one, when suddenly, one of them cast a spell without an chanting time. Llyod saw a giant circle around him, and a small cloud above him...

"Rising Falcon!" Llyod got out just before Indignation was cast.

"Sword Rain! Double Demon Fang!" Llyod took out the caster and moved onto the last angel, a guardian.

"Grand Chariot!" Colette yelled out from behind him.

"Good job Colette. Now, we need to.. Ugh!" An angel had snuck up behind him and had hit him down. Leaping to his feet, Llyod saw that a new group of angels had appered.

"This might take a while... Rising Falcon!"

And... Cue the Cliffhanger! There we go. Not much of a begining, I know, but it'll get better. Well, maybe. Anyway, R&R, or else I'll release Raine upon you all (after, of course, telling her you built your house on top of a ruin). And try and be a little nice, first one and all.
