Faster update this time. I'm getting more ideas.

Thank you my two reviewers. I'm glad you're liking this. And yes, I did think the of the Devil Arms thing for Presea by myself.

Anyway, take a guess who appears in this chapter.

Chapter 4: Crazy Sister

It was a dark and stormy night. Rain was pouring down the area like cats and dogs. The sun was obscured by a blanket of clouds.

It had been two weeks since Colette had moved in with the Chosens, and she seemed to be getting the hang of things.

Presea was looking drearily out the window, in her normal dreary stare. The axmen sighed as she watched the rain pour down. The Chosens, it seemed, had nothing to do, no crime signal, nothing.

"I wish something would happen," Genis grumbled as he lost, again, at Old Maid with Sheena and Zelos.

"For once, brat," Zelos started, Genis glaring at the red-head for calling him a brat, "I agree with you."

Just then, something happened. A bolt of lightning cracked in the sky and the Chosens' main screen popped up, revealing the face a woman with short silver hair, blue eyes, and peach colored.

"S-sis!" Genis yelped, throwing his cards in the air as his sister's face appeared on the screen.

"Ooh! Hello my gorgeous hunny!" Zelos swooned, hearts in his eyes as he saw Genis' sister. The woman was clad in a long orange robe-like vest over a white, frilly shirt which she wore on the inside. She wore navy blue pants and white boots on the lower part of her body. The elf was carrying an umbrella, to prevent her from getting wet, and wore hiking supplies over her shoulder. Genis' sister was also carrying a staff with a giant ruby orb on the top.

"Professor Raine, what are you doing here?" Lloyd asked, looking up from his magazine.

"For a visit," Raine stated simply.

Not long after that, Raine had got her own room in the Tower of Salvation and met the Chosens in the main living room area.

"So this is Genis' older sister?" Colette inquired, observing the elf as she looked around at her surroundings.

"Yeah, she's an archeologist," Lloyd explained, "She works at the Sybak Research Academy to discover more things about this world. She's actually the one who helped set up the Tower of Salvation to make it more livable in."

"Wow, that's neat!" Colette commented as Raine walked over to the group.

"So Raine, what brings you here, other than visiting your little brother?" Sheena asked, placing her hand on the sofa arm for balance.

"You didn't come to inspect the Tower of Salvation again, did you?" Genis inquired, sweatdropping at the thought.

"No no, you see, I need some help with something," Raine explained, pulling out an article and placing it on a device in the room so that it was projected on the main screen. There was a picture of a bunch of ruins.

"Hm, what's this? Newly Discovered Ruins?" Zelos questioned as he read the newspaper title.

"There's more," Raine commented, as she flipped to another page of the article and showed it on the main screen.

"Several Archeologists killed during exploration?" Colette gasped as she read a highlighted section.

"Uh, who are you?" Raine asked, seeing Colette for the first time.

"Oh, sorry. I forgot to introduce myself!" Colette apologized, flustered. "My name is Colette Brunel. I'm a new member of the Teen Chosens. Nice to meet you." The angel greeted, curtsying.

"Ah, you're that angel that was all over the news two weeks ago," Raine commented, also curtsying and gesturing to herself. "I am Raine Sage, an archeologist at the Sybak Research Academy."

"So you want us to help you investigate the ruins?" Zelos asked, leaning against a pillar, his arms folded across his chest.

"Oh I knew you would understand!" Raine squealed, her eyes glazing over to silver as she entered the infamous "Ruin Mode." Her body form was wriggling like a newborn caterpillar.

"Well, I always know what my hunnies like," Zelos flaunted, an aura of pink, flowers, and bubbles coming out of him.

"Like you really have any 'hunnies,'" Sheena retorted, in a chibi-like form, her eyes narrowed.

"Hey that was mean Sheena-chan!" Zelos weeped, crying waterfalls.

"Whatever you philander," the ninja stated, letting out a small hmph as she turned her back towards the redhead and crossed her arms over her chest.

"So, you just need us to accompany you to the ruins right?" Lloyd asked, snapping Raine out of "Ruin Mode."

"Yes, I believe I alone do not possess enough skill to fight anything in the way of my research this time," Raine explained, sighing.

"Okay! We'll help!" Colette announced cheerfully, the other Chosens, except for Lloyd, looked at her awkwardly, sweatdropping at the same time.

"Then it's settled," Raine exclaimed, clapping her hands together.

"Hey I never said-" Genis started, but his sister shot him a death glare and whispered into his ear.

(Would you rather try some of my cooking?) Raine whispered, her eyes glinting evilly as Genis sweated bricks.

"I-It-'s f-fine… we'll go." Genis sighed, giving in.

"Alright! I'll see you tomorrow morning!" Raine said, with a big victory grin on her face. "I shall retire for the day. Good night." Raine said, stretching and yawning as she departed for her room.

"Guess we should go to sleep then," Sheena said, as she, as well as Zelos departed.

"Good night," Presea said, as she departed to her room as well.

"Okay guys, see you tomorrow," Lloyd said, yawning. "Oh, and Genis," the twin swordsman said.

"Yeah?" Genis replied.

"Don't let Raine near the kitchen, at all," Lloyd said, with a glare, as he left to his room.

"Right," Genis grumbled.

"Hey Genis," Colette asked the silver-haired elf.

"Hm? What is it Colette?" Genis asked.

"Is your sister, always that crazy?" Colette questioned, referring to Raine's "Ruin Mode."

"Yes, good night," Genis replied, yawning a bit afterwards. "Goodnight Colette."

"Goodnight Genis," Colette smiled as the two headed off to the their rooms for the night.

To be continued.


Review please.

Sorry for the shortness. This is really just a preview chapter and the real story building stuff happens in the span of the next-oh- 2 chapters or so.

I didn't do too well on "Ruin Mode" either. :P

Then again, she's not investigating ruins yet.

See ya next time.
