Rewrite

Author's Note: First off before I start this Semi-Novel version of Tales of the Abyss, I want to state a few things. 1: I hope there will be a bunch of Tales of the Abyss fans, and I hope to entertain them with TOTA fanfics. 2: I will only work on one fanfiction at a time, PERIOD. 3: This will be a LukexTear pairing, so if there are any Anise/NataliaxLuke Fans, here's something Anise tends to say a lot: BOOOOO! Sorry, but it isn't happening. 4: The first few chapters will be a little boring, because it's mainly explaining how the fanfic will progress. By the time I get Luke and Tear to either Engeve of the Cheagle Woods, things should heat up a bit. 5: This fanfic will be in the Tales of Symponia category until a Tales of the Abyss category is made. 6: This will have romance, but it won't come up very often, so it's not in the genre. Now finally, here's the entire explanation of this fanfic ((Sorry for such a long note)). So Luke, Tear, and the gang beat Van, but Luke disappeared after the battle was won to release Lorelei. Tear and the gang wait for him, but don't see him anywhere. Just as they are leaving, Tear sees Luke, but looking like a mix of himself and Asch. We'll start from there, but there's more. I'm going to add my own little quirks and such, and it's… well, let's just read. Enjoy.

Tear tried to hold back her tears, but was losing control of her emotions. "Luke…." She said softly, "Why do you…"

"I made a promise to return to someone… didn't I…?" Luke said, his face shadowed by his bangs.

"Luke…. You're… You've returned…" Tear said, taking a step forward, "You've come home…!" She said, running towards him.

Luke caught her in her run, embracing her in a hug. "I'm home…" He said as he looked into her eyes, "Now what was it you said as you were walking away from me back at Eldrant?" He said with a small laugh.

"You… heard that….?" Tear asked, then gasped as Luke brushed his lips against hers.

"Shh…." He hushed her, this time kissing her gently, so as to not take her by surprise.

"Well, looks like everything ended for the best then" Guy said with a smile.

"Yes…. Even with the loss of Asch, we still have Luke here with us…." Natalia said, holding back her own tears.

"Of course, there is always the chance of a new threat appearing…" Jade said casually.

"Jade…. Shut up!" Guy, Natalia, Anise, and even Mieu shouted.

"Mieu…? There's a lot of Fonons building here! Lots and lots of them!" Mieu shouted out.

"What are you talking about Mieu?" Anise asked, looking around.

"Mieu's right… I can sense them… it's like another hyperresonance!" Jade said, looking worried for one of the first times.

"Tear! Luke!" Natalia shouted out.

"Too late! Mieu….!" Mieu whined as he watched Tear and Luke disappear in a flash of light.

As the light disappeared, Tear and Luke were gone. "Wh-what the hell!?" guy shouted out.

"That was no ordinary hyperresonance… but it wasn't a second hyperresonance either…" Jade said to himself, trying to figure out what the hell happened.

"Not a normal hyperresonance?! What the hell does that mean, Jade!?" Guy shouted.

"For once…. I have no idea…."
