Finally! It's here! MARTEL! I gaze upon the greatness of the seed that contains your soul…and the empty body of the worthless klutz of a Chosen. Yes…soon my Goddess of a Sister will return to me…to me. Yes…Dear Beloved Sister.

"It is finally time Dearest Sister. This body has the closest match to your Mana Signature. I've failed many times in the past but this time I swear I'll make it work." Yes…I will make it work..I will…for the sake of my sister. Dear Sweet Sister…how I long to hold you in my arms again…to feel your warmth…AHHH…the Goddess' touch and love…drives me.

"The Mana Charge is complete my Lord."
"Good. Do it." Pronyma…this time you will succeed. She approached the panel and I watched eagerly.

"Let her go!" NO! NOT YOU! ANYONE BUT YOU! I turned…that bastard was here….the whole time. Son of Kratos… "Lloyd?! How did you get in here?! The lock to this door can only be opened by a member of the Cruxis High Order!"
"None of your business! What matters is that your selfish dream ends here!" Haha…he's such a fool.
"A futile effort…" I will DESTROY YOU! I moved forward…the light that I use now…instead of purging fire, the purging light bubbling up in me…I moved forward to crush him…

I was struck by some magic…and turned…there…there they were… those…HORRIBLE BEINGS!
"We won't let you lay a finger on him!"
"Guys! How? You're okay?"
"I told you I wouldn't miss the main event!"
"You did not want to share the same pain I do, correct?"
" I can't possibly miss the new world that's about to be made."
"I can still fight. As long as I can still fight, I will stay by your side."
"Hehehe. Pretty good huh?"
"Everyone! All right! Let's take him on together!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! These foolish foolish people…really think they can stop me? With WEAK ideals like theirs! I sighed heavily. "What a sorry lot. Pronyma, it is your fault they are still alive. Kill them!"
"Y-yes sir."

And then my servant went to deal with those pests….and I gazed upon my sister. The mana transfer was happening…I watched the progress on the device…YES…YES!! It was taking…my sister was taking. That Chosen….is working!

"Lord Yggdrasill…it hurts…please help me…" It was finally done. At that moment…Martel transferred completely. YES! YES!! "I've succeeded! Martel is awake!"
"Lord Yggdrasill…Mithos…please…" DID SHE JUST?! USE MY NAME?! NO SERVANT DARES?!
"Only my former companions can call me by that name! Get out of my sight!" The inner light…I blasted her with the light of purification…purging her sinful soul of her unworthiness.

"That's so cruel…."

I turned…yes…Martel! MARTEL! I opened the case that held Martel…my dear sweet sister…yes. Martel! I watched her…stand and walk towards me. I prepared to hear those sweet words of praise from my Goddess. My sweet beloved sister…my beloved… "Dear Sister…you've finally come back to me!"

I heard nothing…but Martel's words. My soul leapt at the sound of her voice… "Mithos…what have you done?" WHAT?! WHAT?! Ooh! She means…my appearance…yes yes!
"Martel? Oh…you mean my body. I hastened my growth to have the appearance befitting the leader of Cruxis. Wait just a moment...I'll switch back to my old form." I shifted out of that large body…into my comfortable form…the form of old.
"No Mithos, not that. I've been watching all this time. Unable to move, unable to do anything. I've watched all those foolish things you've done. Have you forgotten everything? We stopped the Ancient War because we dreamt of a world where humans, elves, and those in between could live in harmony."
"What are you saying? After all the trouble I went through to get a new body for you? But I see…you don't like that one do you?"
"Mithos, please. Listen to me. What you have done…is wrong. It is not what we strived for."
"Wrong? Are you rejecting me?
"No, I want you to remember. Please stop this and become your old self again."
"Martel, even you reject me?"
"No…Martel would never say something like that… HahahahahahahhahaahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAMWYAHHAHAHAYEAHHHAHAYYAYAYAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I won't allow that, do you hear me?!"

NO! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! I brought forth the light of purification! I will purge MARTEL of these IMUPURITIES! I let the light out…upwards! YES THE ROOF! The very heavens will fall into here! There is no place for me! MARTEL! HUMANS! ELVES! ALL OF THEM! WILL DIE!

"You okay Lloyd?" FOOLISH CHOSEN! YOU WILL DIE TOO! I watched him run up and put a key crest on Martel…no NO NO! "What are you doing?!" I fired a light at him…and it missed. "I thought you wanted me to set you free of your fate as a Chosen?!"
"Oh you know what? I changed my mind. That won't matter after we beat the snot out of you anyway."
"Zelos! I knew you'd come back to us!" SHUT UP! SON OF KRATOS!
"Sorry about that. It was the only way I could get my hands on this. Here." He threw a chunk of Aionis…precious Aionis to that Lloyd! "Refine that with Dwarven Arts and it will let even a human use the Eternal Sword."
"You…are you saying you did all this just to get this?" DAMN! DAMN IT ALL! THESE PEOPLE WILL DIE ALL OF THEM! ALL OF THEM!
"That's right. This stupid Chosen released us from the traps back there."
"But it is true that I've deceived you. I've held you guys back for a long time. I figured I'd at least have to do something like that to make up for it."
"If you want to make it up to us…hurry up and fight!"

Hahahahahahahaha! How touching. These fools…their reunion is in vain. I will CRUSH them…completely and utterly! They stole my sister from me! "Damn you! Give me back my sister!" I looked over at Martel… "Goodbye Mithos. This is my final wish. Please, return this twisted world to its original form."
"No! Martel! Don't go!"
"If things were going to end up like this, perhaps the elves should never have left Derris-Kharlan. If they hadn't…people like us would never have been born."
I watched…watched Martel return to the Great Seed. Yes! I understand! "So…so…that was it. Hahaha…AHAHAHAH! Martel..you just wanted to leave this filthy world, and return to Derris-Kharlan. Yes of course. That world is the homeland of all Elven Blood."

"Mithos?"

"Yes Dearest Sister…let's forget these filthy creatures and return home together. To Derris-Kharlan." I raised my arms and willed her to the heavens…the Great Seed lifting up into the air.

"Everyone, we have to stop Mithos! Martel is calling to me! Martel wants us to stop him!" THE BITCH! I turned and glared at the Chosen Girl. "Shut up! Martel would NEVER say something like that! You miserable failure!"
"She did say it! She was crying. She said, 'Please don't let anyone suffer any longer!'"

Yes…the Great Seed was almost out! Then the foolish people…all of them!
"Lloyd, you understand right? If we lose the great seed, we'll betray the Renegades' hope."
"And we of Mizuho won't stand it either."
"Without it, the Giant Tree will not germinate." YES! AND THOSE FILTHY FILTHY RENEGADES, THOSE FILTHY FILTHY CREATURES IN THOSE ROTTEN WORLDS WILL DIE!! ALL OF THEM!
"Without mana, the land will die." Yes…it will…hahahaha! And all of you with it!
"If your goal is the reunification of the world, then…"
"I know! We're going to stop Mithos with everything we've got!" Ah…how laughable. The child thinks he can best the master. I surpassed his father…My magic is superior! You will fail! Martel…I will join you soon.
"Let's go!"
"I won't let you interfere."

I retook my final form and prepared for battle. "I will kill you all!!!!!!"

What? My magic is being overwhelmed…they are strong! Too strong! These filthy bastards! Filthy bastards are….beating me! I doubled over and turned back to the Great Seed.

"How? I…cannot lose….I'm going home…I'm going home with my sister…"

I fell…fell to the ground…and my body faded away from me…and I sat there…staring up as Genis pocketed my crystal. NO! NO!

"It's over." The son of Kratos commented…the bastard! Let me down Genis!!
"Is it?" Kratos! Kratos! He really has turned…I will kill you! I WILL! I WILL! HAHAHA! "The worlds are still split. The Giant Tree has not yet germinated. What exactly is it that is over?"
"Good timing. I wanted to ask you something. What was it that you saw in Mithos?" WHAT? What kind of question is that?! "Why did you help him seal Origin?"
"Mithos was…my apprentice and a valuable friend." FRIEND?! FRIENDS DON'T BETRAY EACH OTHER! If I had hands I would have clawed away his throat! "Isn't that enough?"
"Do you forgive anything someone does, no matter how horrible, just because he's your friend?!"
"I don't see the need to explain myself further. If you want to release Origin's seal, you must defeat me." Yees…I still have won! HE will never fight his father! He's weak! WEAK!
"Kratos! Wait!"
"I'll be waiting for you before the seal."

NO! NO NO! And then…I disappeared into the pocket of Genis' shirt…and everything vanished before my eyes.
