Chapter 2

Another World?


One at a time we stepped on to the warp pad, when I stepped on it I could feel my skin being stretched and I faded away, it didn't hurt. It was uncomfortable though, I felt my stomach doing flips and it was almost disorienting. I saw nothing until I appeared on the other side. I was like waking up from a dream, a very uncomfortable- nightmarish dream.

Apparently, we'd interrupted Kvar having a chat with a hologram. Way to have hologram technology but no cars or cell phones. I mean they even have planes (if you'd consider a Rheaird a plane).

A woman with green hair wearing a green skin tight very revealing body suit was facing Kvar and talking about something. She was sort of pretty but in scary sort of way. She spoke slowly and had an air about her that made her seem like she was conceited. She also had a metallic wing set around her body; I knew it allowed her to hover, so I assumed it was supposed to work like wings.

Kvar had platinum blonde hair that was slicked back and short, he wore a body suit as well but with large metal shoulder pads. Suddenly the woman, Pronyma, I guessed disappeared, and Kvar crossed his arms, looking slightly annoyed.

"So the mana cannon is no longer a secret…" His voice was nasally and made my skin crawl, I'd been here a while and still, I'd never met Kvar. He was intimidating for sure. The four of use rushed over to Sheena, Lloyd and Kratos. All who were too preoccupied to ask who I was. It was then that I saw Kvar's crimson eyes, they were so red they appeared to glow. It was truly scary. He grinned at us all, and took out his weapon.

"You're not getting my exsphere!" Lloyd yelled while pulling out his swords. Kvar then charged at him, while using a spelled to throw lightning at us. Alongside him where two little mechanical helpers. I decided to focus on destroying those. I pulled out an arrow and aim at the little machine. In my head a name popped up and I decided to use it.

"Radiant Wave!" When I released the arrow it was covering a beam of bright burning light, I missed the machine but the light did hit it and electricity formed around it and it was paralyzed and the arrow did hit the man behind it which happened to be Kvar. The arrow landed right in his lower shin, he hissed and threw an electrical energy ball my way.

"You insolent brat!" The ball hit me square in the chest and electricity flowed through my body, shocking me. I gasped and collapsed to the ground. I couldn't even scream it hurt so much. I knew I needed to get up and continue to fight, I had to prove myself. I struggled to get to my feet and draw another arrow, I just managed to when Kvar appeared right in front of my face. His hand shot out wrapping around my neck. His grip was so tight I couldn't even gasp, my eyes widened and I panicked for a second before remembering I still had a bow in my hand. I took just the arrow and stabbed him in the chest. I don't know where I aimed but he flinched and released me and took a step back.

His red eyes were furious. He looked absolutely murderous and fear filled my bones. I knew he'd kill me given the chance.

But he didn't get the chance, Lloyd came up behind him and swung at this back. Kvar sensing him, sucked and then retaliated. His focus was off me. I coughed and held my throat, sure that there was some sort of mark forming. I blinked when a green aura formed around me and then shrank into me. Instantly I felt better, it was calming and the fear I felt disappeared along with the pain. I smiled knowing I must have been healed by Raine or Kratos.

I took another arrow and shot it at Kvar, only because his two little helpers had been destroyed. The arrow soared and would have missed him altogether if he hadn't moved and so it hit him right in the shoulder. He hissed and Kratos slammed his blade into the man, "Fierce Demon Fang!" Lloyd also hit him from behind with a "Sonic Thrust!". With that Kvar fell to his knees, gasping for breath. His eyes narrowed at Kratos in anger before he fell to the ground.

Lloyd looked at his exsphere and whispered something I couldn't hear,

"Lloyd we've learned of Chocolat's location." Raine informed in, I couldn't remember who that was though. Then Colette's eyes widened, I looked over and Kvar had quickly got up and pulled out his scepter and tried to attack Lloyd from behind but Colette shielded him. My jaw dropped when blood splattered on the ground and a huge gaping wound was diagonal on Colette's back.

"Colette!"

"I'm fine, really…" She whispered shocked.

Kvar then spun around and limped to the warp pad trying to escape but Sheena vanished and reappeared in front of him. Lloyd drew his right sword and ran to Kvar slicing his stomach open while cursing at him. Kratos then followed by stabbing him in the abdomen, Kvar hissed at them both but only addressed Kratos.

"Kratos! You pathetic inferior being!" He sounded winded and like he was struggling not to throw up.

Kratos frowned even further than before and cut Kvar with his long sword "Feel the pain…" And he hit him again. "Of those inferior beings…" Kvar fell forwards to the floor, his mouth and eyes still open and I knew he was dead.

"As you burn in hell." Even though Kratos looked mad, I knew inside he was probably smiling at getting his revenge on Kvar after 14 years. Colette was shaking but she was still standing and everyone turned their attention on to her. Colette just smiled at everyone's worries and laughed it off.

"It doesn't hurt guys!"

"Colette…I can't keep it a secret, everyone, Colette can no longer feel pain, the closer she becomes to an angel the more she loses her humanity." Raine, Sheena and Genis' eyes widened in shock, and it was understandable why, if Colette was my friend I would be scared too.

"I'm okay. We should be worried about the ranch." Her words were forceful and I could tell she was angry at Lloyd for ratting her out. Raine decided to just blow the ranch up like last time.

"We only have a few minutes so we've got to go." She rushed everyone through the warp pad and back out of the base, when we reached the exit. Raine cast first aid on Colette to heal up a bit of the wound and we headed off to Asgard.

Apparently Asgard wasn't that far from the base because everyone got there in under an hour.

In Asgard, Raine cast first aid on Colette again and we all watched as her skin stitched itself back together. In a matter of minutes she all that remained was a cut in her robes and dried blood which was washed off by Raine as well.

"I'm going to lay down and rest now." She said timidly, I assumed it was so she wouldn't have to answer any questions.

"Wait Colette, we have one thing to discuss as a group before you rest."

I assumed they were going to talk about her humanity but then everyone turned their eyes on me. I reddened under their stare. I shifted uncomfortably, maybe this wasn't the best idea, I don't even know if Sheena explained what Tethe'alla was yet.

"I suppose, first you should tell everyone your name." Raine was the first to speak up, effectively ending the awkward stare down. I scratched my neck shyly, I'd forgotten that they didn't know me. Awkward.

"O-oh, I'm Aubree Chamberlain, but I like to be called Bree."

"You told Colette that you needed help, help with what?" She eyed me suspiciously.

"U-um well… I need help getting home."

"Where is your home?"

"Well, I'm not exactly from here. I'm from Tethe'alla." I watched their reactions, Genis' jaw dropped, Sheena's eyes widened and Colette and Lloyd just looked dumbfounded whereas Raine continued to look suspicious and Kratos, well, he didn't really react to anything.

"That's ridiculous! You can't be from the moon!"

"W-well actually Tethe'alla isn't the moon, it's the world laying parallel to this one, I know this, because I too am from Tethe'alla." Sheena cut in, saving me. I was thankful for that, this way I could leave all the explaining up to her. She eyed me warily still though, what if my plan didn't work….

"Tethe'alla and Sylvarant lie parallel to each other and for that reason they must vie off each other's mana, so when one world is in decline another is flourishing. That's why I was sent here to kill the Chosen of this world because if I didn't then Tethe'alla would begin to decline…" She looked down ashamed at her actions but it seemed like everyone understood why she was doing what she was now. Colette looked conflicted now that she knew saving her world would damn another.

"There must be a way to save both worlds!" Lloyd snapped everyone out of their thoughts, I was even surprised, I didn't realize he was so passionate when it came to saving people.

"Perhaps when the Chosen becomes an angel she can choose to save Tethe'alla as well."

"We can ask Remiel if he knows of a way."

"Bree you can come with us and we can help you get home as well as find a way to save your world!" I smiled, Colette was too nice, I wondered if it was because she was from a dying world because Zelos was never that nice in the game.

"The journey will be dangerous," Kratos warned hoping to sway Colette not to bring me, I narrowed my eyes and huffed.

"I was in a ranch, I think I can handle a journey." We locked eyes, red with green. His narrowed dangerously and I could tell he was suspicious of me and I was just determined to go home.

"…very well…" He sighed after a brief minute.


Well there you have it.
