Tales Of Symphonia does not belong to me. I am just a fan of the game and decided to write a story based on what happens after the good ending of Tales Of Symphonia 2. This is my first story sorry if I mess up on anything. Well here is chapter 1. I hope you like it.

Tales Of Symphonia: Rise Of The Vangaurd

Chapter 1: It really is you.

(Even though it is a beautiful bright sunny day I can't help but feel depressed. Emil sealed himself away in the Ginnungagap in Ratatosk's place a week ago and I won't ever get to see him again. I understand he is saving the world by doing this because the Ginnungagap is the doorway to the demonic realm and without Ratatosk there to guard it the demons would take over our world. Thank you Emil for saving everyone. But couldn't there be a way you could still be here…with me.)

Marta thought to herself as she stared out to the endless waters that stretched all the way to the horizon. She was in Palmacosta which was her hometown.

"Emil I hope your watching, I'm going to convince the Tetheallans to accept the people of Sylverant without resorting to any of Daddy's harsh methods. I will bring peace to the world that you are guarding for us. I think that would also be fitting in helping to pay for my crimes. It's the least I can do."

After saying that Marta heard footsteps heading towards her. She ignored it assuming someone is just walking by. The footsteps stopped. Marta noticed the thudding of shoes stopped so she turned to see who it was that created the steady beat that ended near her. Marta's eyes widened she couldn't believe what she saw.

(It can't be. I must be dreaming.)

Marta was speechless. She couldn't believe her eyes.

(I must be seeing things.)

Emil was standing right there in front of her. Emil smiled and scratched the back of his head. When he was done they stood there for what felt like hours or maybe even days. When Marta couldn't take it anymore she broke the silence.

"It can't be."

Her eyes were filled with tears as she ran over to the young man who she called her knight, her prince, her perfect partner.

"Emil!"

Marta jumped into Emil's arms and wrapped her arms gently around his neck while his arms timidly reached there way around her slender waist. Marta noticed Emil wasn't embracing her and she noticed where his arms were. She giggled and held each of his hands with her own.

"Its okay Emil you can hold me."

She guided Emil's hands around her waist and she rested her head on his lean chest. Emil started to blush as he held her in a loving embrace.

"Marta."

They held each other for a couple of minutes in silence until Marta broke that silence.

"Oh Emil I'm so glad your back. I…I don't know what I…I would do if…"

Marta did her best to not cry and to hold back tears but it was all in vain. Emil was worried when he saw the tears making there way through Marta's blue eyes. While wiping the tears away from her face he tried to comfort her.

"Marta please don't cry. I'm here now Marta please stop crying."

Marta was crying with tears of joy. The one she loved, the one who sealed himself away to save everyone else, the one she would never see again was standing right before her holding her in a loving embrace.

"Emil it is you. It really is you."

Well that was chapter 1. Review and tell me if it was good or bad. You can also review to ask questions or whatever. I will try to have chapter 2 on tomorrow.
