Cold
I am SO sorry! So many things have happened and School has started and a bunch of drama...
Disclaimer (I forgot this last time...): I do not own...
Dedications: Goldenfur! She's my Beta reader of course it's dedicated to her… Also to Ryna-chan for reading when I asked her to (I think I spammed her with a review... SHAME ON ME!)
My only random comment is that I need to find another Techno song to be obsessed with...
READ THIS!This is right after last chapter (obviously) and lets just pretend Sheena came to the Renegade base. I don't think she knows the location of the Mana Cannon...

"We should go to the Mana Cannon." Short and sweet, I felt no desire to talk long. The summoner nodded. I frowned at the use of the word; I couldn't help but feel contempt. I shook my head. She's not like him.
Sheena looked at me in confusion but then shrugged it off. "So, how are we going to get their, Rheairds?" I smirked. I decided not to answer her question; instead I pulled out my wings. I turned to her and grabbed her arm.
"Let go of me, you pervert!" she shrieked. I let her go but a frown showed on my face.
"Will you help us or will you not?"
I honestly wasn't annoyed. In fact I was quite entertained with her reaction. I knew this was what Kratos was talking about when he said I was 'easily amused in a sadistic way'. I disagree; I'm not a sadist, Mithos is a sadist.
"How is that helping?" She asked. I sighed. I decided to just ignore her yells of protest. I grabbed her arm and, ignoring her attempts of escape, teleported to the Mana Cannon. The summoner was startled by the sudden change in scenery. She realized what happened and grudgingly apologized.
'There really is no point in apologizing if you don't mean it…'
"Listen carefully because I'll only explain this once." And so began my lecture on how to fuel the Mana Cannon with her summon spirits. Why was I teaching this? Kratos taught Mithos yet here I was tutoring this amateur summoner. Not to say she hadn't been impressive. "Did you follow all that?"
"Yes," she replied nodding. She had a spark in her eye that reminded me of Mithos when he began. My mind drifted to back before this all began.
"Martel…" I said the word quietly. Sheena heard me say something, I'm sure of it, but I doubt she heard the actual word. I couldn't care less at the moment.
"I'm going to my base," I said. After she nodded her head to indicate she heard I teleported to my office. Now we would have to wait... I was so tired of waiting after four thousand years. I sighed. I had no choice but to wait.

"That's the signal! Disciple of everlasting ice! Hammer of godly thunder! Servant of Mother Earth! Envoy from the dark abyss! I command thee! Gatherest before me and unleash thine power! Okay, guys! I'm counting on you!"

I watched it all from my monitor, the tower rising from the water, the Mana Cannon being fired, the Kharlan tree being destroyed, everything. But the worst of everything was Martel's scream.
"..."

Mithos stood up, shaky from his injury.
"You mustn't get up!" Altessa said.
"...!"

I shook my head. I need to contact Lloyd's group. I went over to the communication system and contacted the Iselia Ranch.
"The Great Seed is once again bound in the Holy Ground of Kharlan. For that, I owe you my gratitude. Thank you. It seems that you have managed to save the Great Seed as well as this world." Soon after I spoke Kratos responded.
"If the Great Seed is intact, then I presume Martel, who's fused with
it, is safe as well?"
"You assume correct…I'm sure that's good news for you. I wish I could say the same for me."
I heard some commotion in the background. I didn't really listen until I heard yelling.
"Stay away! Don't look at me!" Thud.
"Colette!"
"…It's okay. She just fainted. Let's take her back to the village."
"To Iselia? But Lloyd and I were banished!" I smirked at that.
"Colette's home is in Iselia. Besides, we can't just leave behind the people who were held at the ranch."
"…All right. Let's…go to Iselia." After this I finally spoke.
"I'll notify Sheena to meet you at Iselia. Farewell for now." I contacted Sheena and informed her of what happened and where to go.
'Now that that's done I have other matters to attend to...' I left my office and started walking down the seemingly endless halls. I passed very few Renegades, who looked at me curiously (which I ignored). Finally I reached my destination, a door with a picture of two staves crossed. As I entered I heard some whispering. I glared in the direction it came from, silencing it quite effectively.
I walked over to the main healer and asked for Botta's room while doing my best not to be affected by the gossip. She smiled and gave me the room number. I nodded and strode off without another word; I could almost hear Botta saying how antisocial I was. I glanced to the left and noticed the room number I had been directed to. Hesitantly I approached the door.
'Why am I so nervous? A leader shouldn't hesitate.' Shaking my head I finally entered the room.
"L-Lord Yuan!" To my surprise a female Renegade was already in the room apparently with the same reasons as me... more or less. "S-should I leave?" I sighed softly. "I won't force you to leave, but it would be appreciated..."
She nodded, saluting quickly before leaving the room. I watched her glance back before leaving. She was most likely one of the many Renegades that fawned over Botta. I walked over to where Botta lay; I hoped this would work... I prayed to Martel that this would work. I prayed to her, not because she was a 'Goddess', but because she was the one that taught me this spell.

"Martel, I can't sleep," a blonde boy whined. The green haired woman the boy was speaking to smiled.
"Lie down."
The boy quickly obeyed. The woman lightly pressed her forefinger and middle finger to his forehead. The area she touched glowed, the light seeming to ripple out like when a pebble is tossed into a pond. "Good night." Her voice held a loving tone.
"Good night." The boy said as his eyes slowly closed. The woman soon joined a blue hair man, Yuan, by the fire.
"Martel, what spell is that?" Martel smiled.
"I learned it from my Mother before Mithos was born." Yuan look at her curiously, obviously expecting and explanation. "What you do is tap into the sub-conscious part of a mind and instruct it to go to sleep, it's actually easier that it sounds."
"Would you teach me?" Yuan asked.
Martel smiled. "Of course."
"Kratos, come be our test subject!"
The one named Kratos gave a snort but joined them nonetheless. "So what do I do first?"

A coma was like a deep sleep to my understanding, so I should be able to use the spell to command the sub-conscious to wake up. Theoretically, it should work, but not everything turns out as what is theorized. I took a deep breath. Might as well try.

That probably took me about three months to write... You know if you go into my profile and click 'Send Message' and tell me to hurry up and post the next chapter already I'll actually listen... I like reviews!
