comicshop199: Thanks, bud! Just remember: other people can actually see your reviews, so try to not say any spoilers or a lot of ranting. Thanks for the support! I'll make sure to return the favor somehow!

Well that's it-here's cookies *throws cookies*
Review to get more!

DISCLAMIER: I do not own ToS. If I did, there would be an Colloyd kissing scene and implies of something little more...mature. Seeing as neither of them are correct, I do not own ToS.

Oh, and there's a secret pun in this chapter. It's lame and stupid. Can you find it?

*BEEEP*

"I'll take it!" The blonde chosen stormed out of the room to reach her comlink, which where stored safety in her bedroom. She picked it up, and the others could hear her mumbling to whoever was at the other end of the line. Marta took for the hundred time a look on their packing. They had already prepared the weapons, gels, a variety of bottles and medecines, along with other things they needed. They were fully prepared to go, as soon as they foud out about Lloyd's whereabouts. If it now is Lloyd. The party were still unsure, but they wanted to belive it wasn't Lloyd.

"How's it going?" Marta asked the question to Emil, who was making dinner. He replied with a easy "Good." and then returned to his cooking. He wasn't completly healed yet, but he insisted on making dinner. He didn't want Colette to cook, as her fruit dishes could get tiresome in the long run. That girl put fruits in everything. He mused to himself.

Said girl ran out of the room, screaming "He's at the flanoir ice cave!" In a matter of seconds, both girls had taken their stuff and ran ut of the house. Emil just stared after them. Guess I'll be eating alone tonight...

They were almost at the ice cave. The mizuho spies had foloowed Lloyd's trail all the way to Flanoir, and after asking the locals, it was clear that he had gone to the ice caves. Asking and asking, they basically screamed about how Cruxis was out to kill them again, because they saw an agel with massive wings heading towards the ice cave. That was enough of a lead for Sheena. She had quickly called in Colette, as the blonde had ordered her to not let the mizuhos engage in battle. Colette prayed to herself that Sheena had followed her advice. Lloyd wasn't himself, who knew what he could do?

They all would find out about the answer to that question. Sooner than they'd wished.

As they arrived to the cave, the sight that greeted them wasn't pretty.

Renegade bodies. A lot of them. Colette took her hand to her mouth as she saw them in more detail. They were hurt so much that you couldn't even recognize the faces. Some of them didn't even have a head left. Blood was drooling all over them. Some of the bodies was burnt to a crisp. Marta too, felt disgusted. Raine also, even though she didn't show it as much as the teenagers. Colette let out a small scream as she saw one who'd gotten his own weapon thurst into him. Where his stomach once were, was now only a hole covered in blood. And the worst of it all, there was so many. It must have been at least thirty people. Thirty souls who'd lost their life here. Colette almost started sobbing as she understood who had done this. It could only be one person. They resumed their walking until they reached the very entrance to the cave.

And Lloyd Irving was there. Standing right in front of the entrance.

"I see you made it your way here. I hope you do not wish to interrupt me." The brownhaired teenager said, concentrated on whatever he was doing.

"Lloyd, what's the meaning of this? Why are there dead bodies all over the place?" Raine asked, waiting for her former student to answer the question.

"These fools of renegades just won't listen to reason. They were standing in my way." Lloyd coldly answered.

This was it. This definitely wasn't Lloyd. And that gave birth to another question: who was it?

"Who are you? Why are you doing all this?!" Marta asked, in a tone that demanded an answer. The answer however, was one that no one was ready for. Lloyd sighed.

"I am of Cruxis, the organisation that guides this world. I am here on behalf of Lord Yggdrasill, former ruler of the Age of Half-Elves."

All three girls were completly shocked. Espically Colette and Raine, since they have heard something simular to these words before. Lord Yggdrasill...Cruxis...it reminded them of the journey of world regeneration some years ago. But there was something strange-Cruxis and Yggdrasill doesn't exist anymore-so why did he say that? Colette could only find one answer.

"Lloyd...you've gone insane, haven't you?" She drawn her chakrams, seeing as Marta did the same thing with her spinner and the Professor took a battle stance. Lloyd, also noticing all of this, drawn one of his swords, turning to them while putting on a battle stance.

"Very well. If you insist on meeting the same fate as these renegade fools, I can assist you in doing that." With that, he quickly charged on all three of them, and the girls decided to do their plan they've come up with while waiting for a response from mizuho.

Colette and Marta charged at Lloyd, while Raine stood behind and supported them with various spells and healing artes. The plan seemed to went good.

"Ray Thrust!" Colette sent a chakram towards Lloyd, forcing him to dodge and thus leaving himself open for attacks. Marta wasn't late to pass out on this opportunity. She repeatly hit him with kickes, causing many bruises and some small wounds. Colette did feel a little bad, but she reminded herself it was for his sake. With this in mind, she looked for an opening to perform her next attack.

Marta kicked Lloyd. Over and over again. She couldn't contiune much longer, soon he'll counter her. So she decided she would try a new arte she'd been training for weeks.

"Swallow Dance!" She hit Lloyd with a kick, causing him fo fly upwards. She followed him and kicked him again and again, all while turning around in midair. To Colette, it looked like she was dancing in the air. Then she ended it with a kick downwards, causing him to fall down on the ground. Hard. He groaned in pain, but tried to stand up, but it did seem to take some time. Colette'd found the opening she'd been looking for.

"Torrential Para Ball!" She threw four spikey balls, one after another, and all hit Lloyd. The balls caused lightning to strike on impact, so Lloyd did get electrified by lightning strikes four times. Colette found it amazing he was still able to stand up. She prepared for another round of Para balls, but she never got the chance to. "Lightning Blade!" Lloyd had recovered incredibly fast, and he thrusted his sword towards Colette, causing lightning to strike where he'd hit her. Colette felt pain running down her veins as the lightning striked at the new wound. What's worse, she felt pain in her arms as he screamed "Victory light spear!" Colette felt the sword slicing her in arms and legs as she was caught by the sword and forced upwards, where Lloyd ended the attack by thrusting his sword right under Colette's heart. As she screamed in pain when she falled down on the ground bleeding, she knew that she was lucky. If the attack had damaged her inner organs...it would pretty much be goodbye to this world. Still, she thought she would die here. She couldn't move, it was only a matter of time before Marta wouldn't be able to protect her body and-

"Help is on the way. Healing circle!" Colette felt the strengh suddenly returning to her body. Somewhere her mind said that Raine had healed her, but she paid it no attention as the only thing that mattered right now was Lloyd. Lloyd, who almost killed her. She gritted her teeth. They had to stop him. As long as Raine keeps on healing them, they could win. This plan was working great.

Too bad for them, Lloyd had realized it too.

He jumped back, allowing some time to catch his breath. The girls did the same, and since Raine got some extra time to cast a new spell, it was only positive to take a pause for breath. At least, that's what they thought. It wasn't until they saw the runes appering below Lloyd's feet that they understood he wasn't only catching his breath. They instantly charged at him, but it was too late.

"Take this! Thunder Blade!"

As Colette heard the familar sound of a lightning sword that fell from the sky, and that familar scream behind her, she knew the attack had hit Raine. And a quick glance told her that she'd been knocked unconscious. All her instincts said to her to go and help Raine, but she knew that she would be stabbed in the back befor she got by the healer's side. She clutched her chakram. The only option was to defeat Lloyd before he defeated them. Seeing how Marta charged at Lloyd, she did the same and prayed to Martel that they would survive.

The first series of attack went pretty well-some para balls, kicks and ray thursts that Lloyd couldn't dodge. However the tables quickly turned.

"Super Sonic Thrust!" Lloyd stabbed his sword forwards, hitting Marta lightly, but she was still thrown aback by the huge force in Lloyd's attack. Colette had tripped, so she wasn't caught in the attack. She was surprised when she noticed that Lloyd haven't taken the opportunity to attack her. She standed up and saw that Lloyd had moved further away from them. She heard he was mumbling a spell. She was sure she could dodge it if she was ready. She moved closer.

"Sacred powers..."

No. Oh no. Not that spell. If he uses that...Colette instantly charged at him at full speed.

"Cast thy purifying light upon these corrupt souls..."

She was almost there. She ran as fast as she could. She held her chakram, ready to throw it.

"Light of Judgment..."

"Ray Thrust!" She threw the weapon. It sliced though the air, heading oward Lloyd at full speed. It sliced his stomach and created a deep wound. He didn't care.

"Judgement!"

Rays of judgement fell from the sky, and Colette silency prayed that they won't hit her, but she knew they would, as she heard Marta scream and fell to the ground. She looked up just to see on of these rays headed towards her.

"Damage guard!" The guard broke, and the ray hit her, slightly less powerful. Neverless, she screamed and fell to the ground, barely conscious. She could sense that Lloyd was close.

"The renegades are on their way. I have to fix this another time. Next time, it would be wise to not try to stop me, Chosen."

Colette couldn't stop herself from crying as she saw the angel leave in the horizon. She heard footsteps coming towards her and she fell into a restless sleep, nightmares about Lloyd haunting her the whole night.

And they were never heard from again...

Putting jokes aside, did you find the secret pun? If you think you did, tell me in your review!

The winner gets it's name displayed in here and also a trophy! So guess!
However, the pun is sooo lame that no one will find it. :P

Review please!
