H-bomber: Hey everybody! Well, this is my second ToS fanfic, and the reason for writing this is because of ONLY ONE STORY ABOUT NOISHE! Honestly that's like, blasphemy among ToS fans. So I decided to write something that makes him a little out of character, though I do believe he would do this if he had no choice.


The Triet desert, a horribly hot place. Lloyd and his companions, after a nights rest for Colette, left to return to Triet after releasing the first seal.

"I'm so tired with this desert!" Lloyd yelled for the sixth time that day, causing Kratos to roll his eyes.

"Lloyd, you get bored with everything," Genis replied with a glare.

"Oh, so you're not tired of this desert Genis?"

"…" damn, he got him there. Truth be told, everyone was tired of the desert, even Kratos.

"whine" Noishe rubbed his head under Lloyd's arm. Lloyd smiled and started petting the protozoan, who happily waged his tail.

"I knew you would agree with me Noi-" before he could finish, a large rumbling, followed by an eruption of sand came from just a few feet away from them. Kratos was the first draw his sword, followed quickly by the others. A giant sand worm appeared, and roared. It was about 15 feet in length, and was six feet in diameter.

"Fascinating, I've never seen such an odd creature before!' the mad women yelled ecstatic, "Lloyd, be careful and get me a live sample!" Lloyd just sighed, deciding to ignore his teacher as usual. He noticed Noishe running away from the fight.

"Typical," he said with annoyance. His dog was such a coward. Genis started casting his water spells, and Colette started using her chakrams to distract the horrid beast.

"Demon Fang!" Lloyd yelled as his attack connected with the large worm. It screeched, and then launched itself at Lloyd. Kratos then sneaked up behind it, and continued to slash at it, causing it to screech some more. Lloyd ran to finish it off when another sand worm half the originals size came up behind him and bit him.

"Lloyd!" Genis yelled in concern for his friend. His friend stood perfectly still, he was growing pail, and sweat beaded down his face. Kratos couldn't run up to the young swordsman, because of the larger sand worm keeping him at bay.

"I-I can't move!" Lloyd yelled, eyes widening. He was paralyzed.

'Lloyd!' Kratos would not let his son get killed by such a monster. Using most of his strength for the first time since this journey began, he quickly took out the larger of the sandworms, and quickly ran to help his son. He was too slow. The smaller of the sandworms was just about to eat him whole. Kratos' eyes widened, fearing the worse.

'No!' he yelled into his mind. Then something happened that no one expected. Noishe tackled the worm to the ground.

"Noishe?" Lloyd's eyes widened.

"Bark bark bark!" Noishe leaped upon the sandworm, determined to save his friend. His best friend. Noishe soon overpowered the worm, and quickly killed it. Everyone was too stunned to do anything from the protozoans actions. Even Kratos couldn't move from sheer shock. Lloyd's paralyses started wearing off, and he fell to the ground exhausted, that strange stuff really effected him. Noishe walked up to Lloyd, nuzzling him, while whining. Lloyd quickly hugged his dog, no, his friend, and chuckled to himself.

"You're not such a coward after all, thank you, Noishe."


H-bomber: I think if Lloyd was in serious trouble like this, where no one but Noishe could save him, I think Noishe would do anything to protect his friend, but that's just my opinion. (And yes, this was kinda rushed, if you don't like it, I can fix it, just tell me).
