Lloyd looked up, beads of sweat running down his face. He panted heavily, "We did it. We destroyed Mithos." He looked around at his comrades. They all looked exhausted, somber and satisfied at the same time.
Genis turned away, "We should head back."
Lloyd nodded and hugged his smaller friend, "I'm sorry." He said softly.
"We did what we had to do." Genis murmured, gently pushing him off.
Colette grabbed Lloyds hand, "Let's go."
Lloyd nodded and the group of nine left Derris Kharlan.
But what they didn't know was that there was an angel left. Not a brainwashed clueless angel but a fully well functioning one. She flew over to Yggdrasills broken exsphere.
"Mithos…" She whispered, holding the parts close to her, "I can put you back together. I promise." She flew out of Derris Kharlan in search of someone who could fix the dead exsphere.
Meanwhile Lloyd and the others made it down safely.
Kratos walked up to him, "I'm assuming you succeeded?" He asked.
Lloyd nodded, "Yeah." He lifted up the eternal sword, ready to make the two worlds one.
Kratos grabbed his arm, "Wait! Was there anyone else in there?"
Lloyd looked at him confused, "No there wasn't anyone. Just the ten of us."
Kratos tapped his foot with worry, "Lloyd are you positive there wasn't anyone else on Derris Kharlan?"
"Yes Dad." He growled, starting to get pissed off, "Who do you think was up there?"
"I…" Kratos sighed and rubbed his head, "Lloyd I'm sure your dwarf dad told you about how he got you."
"Yes?" Lloyd said, confused, "My mom escaped the ranch but died because you wounded her. Then you told me she wanted you to, to protect me. But then Kvar got you and you watched mom and me fall off the cliff and you thought we both died."
"Yes." Kratos said again. He bit his lip, "Lloyd there was… Another. You had a twin sister."
Everyone gasped.
"I don't understand?" Lloyd said, "Why isn't she with us?"
"Your mother only grabbed you. I was able to get your sister. I kept her safe. Well.. As safe as I could…"
"What's that supposed to mean?" Genis exclaimed.
"I knew if I left Cruxis Mithos would hunt me and her down. She'd die. She was all I had left. So I remained a part of Cruxis and tried my best to keep her out of the whole "angel" business."
"But that didn't work?" Colette asked.
"No." Kratos sighed, "When she was four she became obsessed with angels. I.. I always told her that her mother became a real angel. She started following me around and one day I had to leave Derris Kharlan. When I came back Mithos had given her an exsphere." He clenched his fists, "He brainwashed her and she's like his dog now and I couldn't stop him!"
"So what are you saying?" Raine asked.
Kratos looked up, "If she wasn't there it means she probably waited till you left and now she's finding a way to revive Mithos."
Sheena growled, "How could she even do that?! We killed him like five times!"
"A dwarf." Zelos said, "Probably Altessa. He could probably fix it. Plus Mithos was basically the king of the world."
"We gotta stop her!" Lloyd yelled.
"Lloyd." Regal put one of his handcuffed hands on Lloyds shoulder, "This is your sister. Are you prepared to fight her?" When Lloyd didn't answer Regal looked at Kratos, "What is name?"
Kratos sighed, "Lataree. Her name is Lataree Aurion."
