-The Past, The Present & The Future-

Chapter 1

"ZZZzzzzzzzzz..." Lloyd snored as he slept.

"Lloyd?" Raine asked.

"ZZZZzzzzzzzzz..."

"Lloyd!"

"ZZZzzz..."

"LLOYD IRVING WAKE UP!"

"ZZzz.. Huh, what! OH! UH, 53! 34! The church of Martel! 832! The chosen! The desians! Uh, Wood! 197! Uh, The, Tower of Salvation? The Ossa trail? " Lloyd shouted as he woke up.

Raine sighed as Lloyd shouted out more answers.

"Uh, by any chance were any of those answers right?" Lloyd asked.

"I didn't ask a question Lloyd."

"Oh, uh, you didn't? Ok."

"But now I have a question."

"Oh great.." Lloyd trembled. "what is it?"

"How the heck can you sleep while standing up?"

"Uh, what?"

"You heard me. How the heck can you sleep while standing up?" She asked again.

"Uh, I dunno I just do." Lloyd said noticing he was indeed standing up in the back of the class.

"Uh huh.. How odd.."

"Am I in trouble?" Lloyd asked.

"Yeah, go polish my car."

"Ok. Yes ma'am." Lloyd said starting to walk outside. "Uh, what's a car?"

"Uh, never mind. I mean, go sit in the corner! You need a timeout!"

"What! I'm seventeen! Timeouts are for little kids!"

"Your point?"

"Ah.. HEY!"

Class laughs.

"Alright class settle down." Raine said. "Now Lloyd, go stand in the corner and don't fall asleep again. Even though it's most impressive."

"Grrr.." Lloyd said as he walked to the corner.

"Hey, Lloyd!" Genis said in a whisper. "How DO you sleep while standing up?" Genis said still laughing a little.

"Shut up Genis."

"Hey, look!" Said a kid in the class. "Did you see him! There was a man with at the window looking in!"

"What! What did he look like?" Raine asked.

"I didn't see him very clearly because the second I saw him he ran away."

"Well, as long as he didn't mean any harm it's ok. Let's continue class."

SMASH! The window broke into a hundred pieces as a man jumped into the class.

"AAAAHHHH!" Screamed the children as the window smashed.

"That's him!" One of the kids said again.

"Which one of you is the chosen?" The man asked. As he said this he unsheathed a sword and put it to Raine's throat.

"I won't tell you." Raine said in a panicky voice

"Then i'll cut your throat." The man said. "And all children's too. Now which one is the chosen?" He asked again starting to push the tip of the blade into her neck.

"Hold up!" Said Lloyd. "I'll fight you! If you win then you can have the chosen!"

"And just who the heck are you?" The man asked lowering his sword.

"Give me your name and i'll give you mine!" Lloyd returned.

"Oh, you're a brave one aren't you? Fine, have it your way. My name is Kizacka. And what is yours?"

"I am Lloyd! Now lets fight!"

"LLoyd!" Said Raine. "Go sit down and let me handle this."

"No."

"Yes!"

"NO! I'm fighting."

"Let him fight." Kizacka said. "He seems to have his mind made up."

"I'm fighting too!" Said Genis standing up.

"Me too!" Shouted Colette.

"Ha ha ha!" Kizacka laughed. "I'll take all three of you out easily."

"HEEYAH!" Shouted Lloyd as he attacked.

Kizacka blocked easily.

"Those wooden swords of yours are worthless." The man said as he laughed some more.

Genis launched some firballs at him.
Kizacka dodged them.
But then got hit in the head by one of Colette's chakrams.
Lloyd went in for a quick attack while Genis charged for fireball.
Lloyd attacked but Kizacka countered and gave Lloyd a deep cut on his left arm.

"Ouch!" Lloyd screamed.

Colette threw both of her chakrams and Genis launched his fireballs.
Kizacka dodged one of the fireballs but then got hit by Colette's chakrams and the other fireballs burnt him.

"Dang, you kids are good. I'm outta here." He said running out the door.

"I guess that means we win!" Colette said happily.

"Lloyd,are you ok?" Raine asked.

"I'm doing fine." Lloyd said holding his arm.

"Here, let me heal it." Raine said.
She healed the cut and said "How's it feeling Lloyd?"

"Better." Lloyd answered.

"Good." Raine said. "School is over due to the events that have just occured. I need to report to the mayor. See you all tomarrow maybe."
