Hello! And here's chapter two! Enjoy and please review as I'm trying to improve my writing to make this a very decent fanfiction, and I promise that the story will pick up soon so please be patient. Oh by the way, does anyone know if you capitalize desians and renegades I'm not entirely sure so I think I might have used both.

Oh one more thing and this is the last time: I do not own Tales of Symphonia, their characters, places or ideas, Namco does! However I will claim ownership of any new concepts, characters, places\things and my user name


*Clink thump*

What was that noise? It sounded like it was coming from the guards post. Now I hear foot steps, it sounds like there are three different people. I think they're heading this way! Oh crap, I look around this hell hole and hide see a dark corner. I move to that corner and try to ignore the pounding of my heart in my ears.

"Her cell should be around here," said a man's voice.

"Look for cell number 3-D." said another man, whose voice sounds somewhat familiar. Next thing I know there is a desian soldier in front of my cell.

"Sir, I found the cell but there isn't anyone in here!" said the desian. Hold on there is something wrong with this, why would just a soldier come for me they always send a mage with them. And the uniform isn't completely right either what is-

"You have the keys, open it and search it George!" said the familiar voice interrupting my thoughts.

"Yes sir!" said George while opening the door. Shit, he's armed and I'm of course without anything but the 'clothes' on my back and an un-crested exsphere. George is exploring the side of the cell with the 'bed'; maybe if I'm quiet enough I can get around George and surprise the other desian before they can restrain me. Or he's coming right towards me; shit there's another desian coming in here. You know what maybe there is only two of them, plus they left the door open!Alright the hell with it, I'll tackle one of them and hope that birthday luck plus surprise plus idiocy works. I position myself on the balls of my feet and in a half stance.

"Hey, I see some-"I lunged forward and tackled George, he loses balance and I fall with him. I get up and start towards the open door when someone grabs me from behind. I kick, elbow and hit my captor but he won't let go. I take a deep breathe when a hand clamps over my mouth. The desian's grip is stronger now; I close my mouth as hard as I can onto his hand.

"OW! Would you stop struggling we're trying to help you!" said the desian?

I stop shocked at both the words and the sincerity behind them. Why would a desian try to help me, why even bother coming into the cell when they could just use magic to knock me out? The desian is annoyed because I bit his hand, but at the same time he seems pleased that he found something or someone. His grip is loosening a little bit. Maybe I can –

"Alright now if I let you go will you not run away or fight us?" asked the desian holding me. I look around the cell and I see that the door is still open and that it seems like there isn't anyone there. But if I try to make a break for it there is still that man with the familiar voice out there so I probably won't be able to get away. I sigh, or try to considering there is a hand over my mouth, then I nod my head to show my agreement with the terms set out by the weird desian. He removes his hand from my mouth and his grip around me is gone so I turn around to get a better look at who my supposed rescuers are.

"Ya know for such a little thing you sure tackle hard." Said George grinning and rubbing the back of his head. I just cross my arms and kind of scowl at them.

"Alright who are you and what the hell is going on?" I ask my 'rescuers'.

"Well, the one you tackled to the floor is George, the one you bit would be James, and you should remember who I am." Said a man with a large chest and shoulders, with spiky brown hair, and a familiar face.


Well there's chapter two! Can you guess who the familar voice is? Anyway thanks for reading! Reviews are always loved!
