Sorry for the late update, I just don't know how to put it this way. It has been months since I update this story and now I'm back. Lack of inspiration and thinking of the worlds for the story (Most of the worlds they are visiting are going to be in video games, manga, anime and my original stories.) Story will be dark halfway through, and in addition school's going to end in my country I will have more time to write. Enjoy while you can last.
Disclaimer: TRC is owned by CLAMP. Tales of Symphonia is owned by Namco. I only own Sho, Tanya and Ignite.
Note to readers: This chapter will only show Lloyd Irving, Genis Sage, Collette Brunel, Kratos Aurion and Raine Sage. I do not own a Nintendo Game Cube, so don't criticize if I don't know the story well. Only showing the characters in Sylvarant going to the towers. There's going to be three parts for this, as the first part is this chapter, the second part in the next chapter and the last part in later chapters when Yuui and the gang later enter Tethe'alla and stopping the plans of Mithos.
"Let me say this one more time: You're the current ruler of Solania. Pinch me to see if I'm dreaming." Ignite called Yuui to do it. He does what Ignite told him as he came to realize Tanya and he are not dreaming that they are still in reality.
Sho's servant, Hanna came into the room with four glasses of water.
"Thanks, and I did it so that the people here do not know how I look like. I have my reasons, trust me. And speaking of which, I have something to say." She said which make the party attentive.
"Are you willing to go with me to other worlds? Maybe we could solve the forgotten memories inside you Yuui and your parents, Tanya and Ignite. I, too have something to find, but this will not be the time to tell you." She said it once and then heaved a sigh of relief. "So will you come? You can go home and think about it but tomorrow can you give me a confirmation before sunset." She took the glass of water and drinks it, as Yuui was in deep thoughts on his past life 10 years ago. Tanya and Ignite began to wonder if they could finally reunite with their long-lost parents.
"Come to think of it, I hardly remember what happened before 10 years ago. When I first came here, I was sickly all the time and you guys helped me to open up into the world I came to know today…" Yuui said.
Flashback, at the house…
"So, you're Yuui, huh?" asked Ignite, who was young having a chocolate bar. Yuui looked down and was in his deep and quiet world, not talking to them. He looked extremely pale as if he's going to die from a terminal disease and was coughing.
Tanya carried Yuui's things into the house and Ignite holding his hand leading him to his new home.
"It's pretty sad that you can't join us for PE lessons, and trust us, we'll taking good care of you together." Tanya said, after putting Yuui's belongings into his own room.
He didn't talk; he continued looking down on the floor. When she was about to reach his hand, he pulled it away and was too shy to talk or do things to anyone.
School started a week later for him and since he can't take PE lessons, he was led to the library with a senior, browsing the books in a corner. One book caught his attention and definitely not a picture book which most kids in his age like most. This book, however, was for students in the high school section and he grabbed the book. It was titled:
Anything you want to know about Biology and you.
Out of curiosity, he flipped open the book, he read it and slowly he was already absorbed into the world of biology. It was until then PE lessons were over and he borrowed the book home. The librarians were surprised to see a young boy like him borrowing such books home but soon forget the incident.
"You like reading, do you?" a young Sho asked one day after school walking home. He ignored him, continuing to read the book as if no one was disturbing him.
"Ignite, stop IT! You're pouring too much flour into the bowl!!!" Tanya shouted at the boy one weekend when Ignite added too much flour into the bowl to make the dough less sticky. They were cooking chocolate cookies back then and Sho just came back from the supermarket to buy some chocolate chips for the cookies. Yuui was at the kitchen with Tanya and Ignite, still reading the same book.
"Geez, Yuui. Don't you ever get tired reading this book for the whole day?" Ignite asked rudely, who did not know that he's provoking him for the past days.
"At least he does his homework, unlike you always procrastinating your homework till late at night!" Tanya argued.
"Woah, I didn't know that you're as obedient as him. Take that!" he threw some flour at Tanya, which was on the table.
"Stop it!" she yelled and threw flour at Ignite. They started on the 'flour' war, throwing flour at each other. Sho tried to stop them but to no avail and just it was about to be furious, Ignite accidentally threw the flour at Yuui.
Yuui felt the flour being thrown in his face as he was looking what was being thrown in his face, he looked up at Tanya and Ignite's face, which was covered with flour. He began to smile, and then laughed and point at them at the same time.
"What's so funny?" Ignite asked. The he turned to Tanya seeing her face covered with think flour. She too looks at him and then the two, including Sho, started laughing with him.
6 years ago…
Yuui was riding in his bicycle as he rushed home and rushing to tell his friends about his successful application taking medicine in a prestigious university in the North section of Solania. He looked healthier and was able to take PE lessons after he first came, no longer the pale and sickly Yuui who gets sick very easily.
"I made it!" he yelled as he entered the house and preparing for dinner. "I've been accepted into the university!"
"Let me see." Said the excited and hungry Ignite on the dining table and saw the application of entering the university. He then looked very surprised, seeing Yuui getting straight 'A's and distinction for all his papers.
"I'm going to pursue my dreams, and I won't fail everyone." Yuui said to himself as he settled for dinner.
"I'm going, and so are Tanya and Ignite." Yuui suddenly stood up, which surprised everyone in the room (Excluding Hanna, who is busy looking for intruders who are planning to find out how Sho looks like). "We're going, no matter the risk, starting on tomorrow."
Sho didn't realize that Yuui was very determined to go out of Solania; even there might be risks along the way.
"So it's decided. We'll go tomorrow." Sho stood up and walked to Hanna. It was time for them to leave since it was getting dark and was lead back to their environment.
"Woah, that was some reply, Yuui. We're going tomorrow, like you said." Ignite said, patting Yuui's shoulder. He smiled and behind him was Tanya, who was all worried about the conversation earlier when Yuui suddenly stood up and agreeing that they should go out of the peaceful world to seek answers for themselves.
She, like Yuui, was brought into the country like a lost child one day. She suddenly came into the world one night was almost died by mysterious forces and she was lucky to have people rescuing her from the brink of death. She was the first person to be brought into the house, before Ignite and Yuui.
Ignite came into the world even mysterious than Tanya. He was found dropping down from the sky one day and then can recall how or why he was landed in Solania. But he was then soon joined by Tanya and later, Yuui.
"Boy, I'm going to miss home. I'm going to miss this bed, the food, our friends; everything." Ignite laid down on his bed after bathing and Yuui sitting reading a book.
"Still the same old you, quiet and loves to read. Won't you ever get tired of reading?" he asked.
"No. I found it….interesting." he said, putting a smile on his face as he closed the book.
"I'm going back to my room and pack. Don't bring too many things on the trip, and bring all your money along." Yuui joked, leaving the room happily.
Ignite changed his sleeping position into his sitting position, putting his elbows onto his knees crossing his legs. "You've changed, Yuui."
The foursome gathered outside the building, which is Sho's palace the next day. They were prepared to see what's in their way, with enthusiasm.
Sho held up a compass which needle kept spinning non-stop. "This is no ordinary compass; the needle will stop spinning when you tell it to let us go into the next world. We won't know where it will take us into, but hope we won't end up in a whale's belly." She giggled. Hanna then came towards her and passed something to her and Yuui.
"Take this. You would need it during your trip and should you need any help, you can use this to talk to me or ask me for something. This is for you Yuui. I've heard that you learnt swordplay during your school years and hope this comes in handy. I know this sword is not synthesized properly, but I hope when you go into one of the worlds you can find a suitable weapon for yourself and your friends." Hanna said, passing Sho a necklace and in the middle it was shaped like a phoenix and a normal sword without any powers to Yuui.
"You may go, and one more thing. I hope you won't make any mischief when you travel to the other worlds, Ignite." Hanna warned.
"Yes, Madam. Can we go now?" asked Ignite as the needle stopped spinning all of a sudden. A strong magic force then covered the foursome as Hanna step back and all of a sudden they disappeared.
Hanna felt the wind blowing against her as she looked at the clouds. "Four visitors, from different worlds will come into this world to look for answers…"
Sylvarant Arc (Part 1)
Yuui and Sho appeared out of nowhere in a forest, and falling below of some people. They quickly stood up and saw a boy with brown spiky hair wearing a red suit, with swords in his hands. The other boy with white hair wearing blue and white pants and shirt with a kendama in his pocket was seen rolling off the path, but stopped rolling after a while.
"I didn't know you ate too much before the trip Lloyd, and here we are, being chased away by the villagers back in Iselia." The boy with white hair complained, pushing the other boy to the ground.
"Smarty pants, you say too much." The other boy remarked, trying the stand up. The boy with white hair picked up his kendama and looked at Yuui and Sho in disbelief.
"Where did the both of you come from?" he asked.
"Just another country, could you tell us where are we now?" Yuui asked, looking at the surroundings.
"Let me introduce ourselves. I'm Lloyd Irving, you can call me Lloyd, and that guy over there is Mr. Smarty-Pants- Who-Knows-Everything…" Lloyd said, pointing at his friend and making fun of his name.
"Shut up, and my name is not Mr. Smarty-Pants-Who-Knows-Everything, it's Genis Sage, but you can call me Genis." He introduced himself, carrying a large back strapped onto his shoulders. "What are you doing in this forest?"
"We are travelers, as you can see. We're trying to find answers to our problems, it's kind of personal and now, it seems that our friends are missing." Sho explained. "Have you seen them?" she showed them a picture of Tanya and Ignite.
They shook their heads. "We're chased out of the village after we were misunderstood to let the Desians attack our village. We tried to persuade the villagers, but we were forced to be exile. " Lloyd said. "We're currently traveling to find our friend Collette, Raine and Kratos. I wonder where they have gone…"
"We'll find them together; we find our friends, you find yours." Yuui said. Lloyd nodded but Genis being hesitant to trust the travelers.
"C'mon! Don't be so stubborn don't tell me you're not going to trust them." Lloyd said, pulling his arm and the four of them traveled the dark forest together.
TBC……….
Next chapter will be much better. Not to be a spoiler, Tanya and Ignite are stuck in a desert. But if you want to find out read the next chapter.
I know this sucks, but I just want to clear my mind out, the story will get interesting as the chapters go by. Now, I need more ideas to get this story done, and trust me, this story will drag for about two years to fit in the storyline of Tsubasa. I'm having a sore throat right now, time to read the next chapter of Tsubasa!!!!!
