Basically Kratos was supposed to take Anna to the Iselia Ranch but Kratos assumed that Yggdrasill was beating Anna, because of what she had said, for some strange reason (you'll learn in this chapter). So.. Kratos went to investigate.

"What ever do you mean?" Yggdrasill questioned never taking his eyes off of what he was doing.

"She doesn't look the slightest bit like Martel. Why are you causing her so much pain?" Kratos exclaimed.

"That isn't the reason." said Yggdrasill.

"Then why?" Kratos demanded.

"Because... it's simple... really..." Yggdrasill began. Kratos' eyes narrowed in anger.

"I knew that you would fall in love with her. Just think about it." Yggdrasill explained.

"Just think about it. Long brown, emerald green eyes, and that voice." he continued. Kratos thought but he did not grasp what Yggdrasill was getting at.

"Erica?" Yggdrasill said with a questioning voice.

"Never speak ill of the dead." Kratos growled.

"Admit it. Host body A012 is exactly like your mother. Now take her to the Iselia Ranch." Yggdrasill said. And with that Kratos returned to the cell room.

"Anna." he said; she looked up with a smile.

"Kratos, you came back." she said in disbelief. Kratos froze in shock. Yggdrasill was right.

"Of course." Kratos replied. He opened the cell that held Anna.

"Come with me." he grabbed her hand. " I'll get you out of here. You will never have to see another human ranch ever...again...never." he explained. But little did he know Yggdrasill was watching.
