The dark alleys of Meltokio wasn't very pleasant. At least, that's what Lloyd thought. In his opinion, the entire city should be crushed to make room for the beautiful grass and flowers that once had control over this land. Now the only green that is here are some green-colored metal signs. Lloyd could faintly remember a time far away, when Meltokio was a city with parks, grass, and flower pots in every window. I don't know where I got that from, I sure wasn't born then. Must have read it in some newspaper or something... Lloyd suddenly heard some noise coming from the street that he was currently looking at. He quickly jumped back into the shadows, just in time to see an angel float by.

The angel had some big, white wings. They were his body-length in size and was pretty, but not in a specular way. They were also very easy to fear, and Lloyd guessed that was half of its purpose, expect flying. When the angel had passed, Lloyd silently waited a few minutes, and when he was sure no one was in the street, he quickly erupted from his hiding spot, and ran up the street. He ran until he saw another alley. Jumping in there, he picked a hiding spot to wait. He wasn't going to be careless. For a few days ago, he started his mission, and he learned that being careless can easily lead to his death. When he entered the city, his plan was to simply rush through the fighting that occurred when the angels arrived, and assassinate the king. Of course, like it'll be that easy. But he naïvely believed that his plan would work perfect. It didn't.

As soon as the humans saw the angels land, they feared the worst and barricaded themselves in the castle. Patrols quickly seized the most important point; the port leading up to the castle, the only way to the Old Town. The castle, along with some old buildings was located there. When he realized the situation, he quickly changed plan to try to break the human defenses, along with the angels. Sadly for him, the angels seemed to have orders to attack anyone who didn't have wings. That included Lloyd. After the angles attacked him, he instantly fled the battle. Trying to make it out of the city, he soon came to find out that Cruxis had closed off the city, trapping everyone inside. Lloyd as well, was trapped inside the city walls. Now, he'd sneakily moved around the city, avoiding any guards that was out to kill every survivor. Doing that for a few days, he slowly moved himself further and further away from the entrance, and closer to the castle.

Lloyd got up as he figured no one was gonna come. He sneaked out from the alley, and moved uphill. "Is that..." he whispered to himself as the old, brown port of the Old Town could be seen at the end of the street. His patience was on its edge, and he quickly rushed the few meters that was left to finally stand before the great ports of the Old Town. People called it that, since the buildings were really old. In fact, they're so old so they're unreliable, and there was discussions about trashing them to make room for newer constructions. But after asking experts who claimed that the Old Town are in fact Meltokio as of many thousands years ago, they denied the trashing plan as the buildings have too big of a cultural value.

Lloyd was now facing another problem, and that was how he was gonna get past the port. "I can't burst it open, can I? And the walls aren't crack-able in any way, I've seen Cruxis try breaking them. And they failed horribly." Lloyd decided to search the area instead. "Can't give up now..." After a quick check on the left side, he found nothing. Going to the right, he feared that his mission would end here, if an angel sees him. "They're not usually here...the humans shoot projectiles or other stuff at anyone they see, so I guess they're not patrolling here..." Going even farther to the right, he saw something that looked like an entrance in the wall. He leaned his head inside to see what's in there, but he quickly threw it back again, horrified by the stank. After one more look (and one more throw-back) he deemed it as the Old Town's former sewer. Holding his nose, he quietly walked inside.

"Let me see now...hm? Is that-" He quickly cast himself into the water, as he saw some angels working on something further ahead. His mind protested against the horrible smell that came from the water, but he tried to not think of what's been in that water. Instead, he focused on the winged group in front of him. They seem to working on something...wait, isn't that these kind of bricks you use when you want to seal something? Hey, they're trying to break the path open... Delighted over the fact that he have some luck for once, he sneaked forward to get a better look on the group. The group consisted of three angels, two of them was working on destroying the wall. The third, probably their leader, se watching for any enemy who enters. However, he must somehow have missed Lloyd. Lloyd studied the trio a little, and tried to decide what he was gonna do. He suddenly heard a loud noise, that was the last of the brick-wall that now lied on the floor. Seemly happily, the angels lost their focus and all three turned to the now crushed brick-wall.

Two didn't get to celebrate much, as they were knocked out by the handle on Lloyd's twin blades. Deciding to minimize the damage to Cruxis, he hit the last one with the unsharp part of his swords, and they all was now on the ground. After checking that no one heard the sounds, he walked past the destroyed wall. That was easy...I guess Cruxis not all that good at fighting. Though that Kratos guy looked decent... He walked until he came to a set of ladders that seemly leaded up to the roof. Climbing these, he put his hand on the roof. Would be crazy if they build ladders to nowhere... He used all his power to the hand, and a circle in the roof opened, revealing that it was actually a manhole. Smirking, he climbed the last steps, and found himself at a market area. "This will be easy. Humans are so easy to sneak past."

The king watched the scenery outside the window. Far away, he could see the horizon of the city, and he sighed as he saw that no reinforcements of any kind would arrive. Of course, if any arrived, it was to try to seize the city for themselves. The world existed of many countries now, and he sadly feared that the angles would destroy them all. "Look at all this destruction..." The king was right. It really was some destruction they'd caused. From afar, he could see smoke coming from a lot of buildings. Many had been destroyed, and very new ones too. The buildings that was attacked is in ruins, just like the slums in the Old Town is now. No one even remembers the poor people who lived here once, but with the growing city and higher requirements on the people, the poor were forced to move out and search for a new home. Or simply die, like many of them did. The king sighed again. Even through he tried his best to make it good, he couldn't have done anything. The poor was exterminated from the city before he even were born, and things have got downhill with the last king's reign.

He turned around to his beloved assistant. His friend, who helped him much and gave him great knowledge. Yes, this man was truly a great person, the king thought. Not only that, he was really, really old, the king believed. There's no other explanation to why he would know things that no one else knows, things that happened long ago. And to top the cake, he's really friendly.

"Yo king, wahtssup? Stop the gloomy face."

A little too friendly maybe. "My friend, I'm in despair. The people are suffering, the city may soon be in ruins, and there's no hope at the horizon! What should we do...?" the king mourned.

The man shook his head. "It's too early to be thinking like that. See, it's our county, and these angels invaded. Then we'll just have to find some way to beat them to a pulp!" he cheerfully stated.

The king's eyes opened widely. How can this man be so cheerful and laid-back at a time like this? It must be because he knows we're going to succeed! "Yes, you're right!" the king exclaimed. "We can do this! We'll come up with a plan to push the angels back, and save the city!" The king felt new energy rushing through him. He delightfully looked out over the city once again, and this time with eyes that sparkled of determination. He had a goal, and he would succeed. For his people, his nation. This will be a successful project. For the people of this world... He will change it. He turned around to smile at his red-haired friend, only to find him in a pre-battle position. The king looked surprised. He then turned to see what his advisor was looking at, and the sight was surprising and terrifying.

On his doorknob, there was a teenager dressed in red. And what's terrifying, he had two long twin blades. Aimed at none else than the king of Tethe'alla.
