Lloyd woke up in a nondescript Prison Cell who-knows-how-long later.

"Urgh... My head! Hmm? All my stuff is gone!" he cried, alarmed. "The only thing I've got with me is the Sorcerer's Ring..."

Then he noticed the guard drifting vaguely around the outside of the cell. Deciding to take out his frustration on the guard, he shot him with the Sorceror's ring.

"Owwie!" cried the guard, and ran away. Then the door opened...for some reason.

"I'm free, I'm free!" sang Lloyd, dancing around on the spot, but then slipping and landing on his butt.

"...Nobody saw that...right?"

After retrieving his stuff which was convieniently lying around in a chest, he headed for the door, only to see two guards.

And so I said, 'Dude, where's my sword?' And this other guys was all 'I dunno, dude.'"

"Funky." The other answered.

"Why do people always say that when they're trying to sound like teenagers?" Lloyd demanded, annoyed.
"Hey! Who the hell are you?" cried the first guard, only just noticing Lloyd's existence.

"P...Prison Break!"

"Do you have stutter?"

And so a fight commenced, and Lloyd celebrated at taking out two real people all by himself.

Anyway, upon entering another room, Lloyd's superhearing detected more bad uses of the word 'Gnarly' and hid under a...thing. Two more generic-looking guards entered.

"Isn't it such a pain to keep zapping these robots on the switches?" commented one rene-Desian. Yeah.

"Oh, yeah. Lord Botta sure likes to make things pointless and annoying. Now, let's go find our only prisoner."
"Yeah, that guy with the stupid bright red outfit."

They left.

"Red, red, red." complained Lloyd; "Does my outfit stick out that much?"

Only about as much as a fat girl in a Beauty Pageant, Lloyd.

After Lloyd had done the stupid puzzle with some blatant Gamecube product placement (It took my about half an hour to do my first ever try.) he skipped into another room. And did that part too. Wow, how descriptive I am today.

Then, Lloyd saw another guard, but instead of just taking him out as usual, he chose to bolt into a random room instead.

"Whew...that was close." Lloyd panted to nobody in particular.

"And just who the hell are you?"

Lloyd spin around to see a guy with blue hair, dressed in a cape-thing and looking annoyed.

"Shouldn't you know who I am? I was the only person in that prisoner in there."

"You certainly seem like a total moron."

"Hey, take that back, Curtain man!" Lloyd retorted angrily.

"Why you little-"

Just then, Botta and some randoms came in out of nowhere.

"The Chosen and her irritated-looking companions are here!"

"I can't let him see me!" cried Yuan cryptically, and left. Then Colette, Genis and Kratos popped up. Also out of nowhere.

"LLOYD! OMG, ARE YOU OKAY?" shrieked Colette upon seeing him. "I'VE HAD NO EYE CANDY SINCE I LEFT!"

"Hey! I'm kind of trying to fight you here!" complained Botta.

So a fight commenced, with Lloyd proceeding to do what he did best; A good old Slash'n'Hack job. Genis cast spells in the background, while unfortunate Kratos had to keep casting First Aid instead of doing any actual fighting as Colette kept throwing her Frisbee's at Botta only to have a few Rock Breakers to the face.

"I underestimated you..." Botta said monotonously, which was a bit obvious since this was the second time he'd wet his pants at the sight at Kratos, before stupidly LEAVING HIS WEAPON ON THE FLOOR and running.

Raine came along and informed them of opening the escape route, but then she picked up the giant sword, a rather scary glint in her eyes. They headed outside.

"The crystalline object attached to this weapon...is this an exsphere?" she asked, her eyes shining.

"Yeah, that's an exsphere. How'd you know about them?"

"Genis told me about what happened. He's been rather a burden..." Raine said, Genis quickly lowered his head. Lloyd could imagine how Raine had reacted. He could practically feel his own ass stinging.

"Let's go back to Triet. We've procrastinated enough already." Kratos grouched. So off they went, because Kratos said so.

Lloyd, bored, decided to go annoy his companions.

"Here, Professor, I made you your stupid keycrest." Lloyd explained, handing it over. "Genis can explain to you how to use it. I can't be bothered."

"Thank you, Lloyd." Raine muttered absently, slowly turning the glowing orb in her hands, grinning psychotically.

Lloyd walked over to Genis, who was asleep on the bed. He had fun poking Genis in the side for a while, then grew impatient and left the room. He saw a streak of purple.

"Hey, that was Kratos!" announced Lloyd. "I'm going to sneakily follow him!"

Outside, Lloyd found Kratos in deep conversation with Noishe. Lloyd went up, curious. Then he suddenly found Kratos pointing his sword at his neck.

"Whoa!" cried Lloyd in a strangulated way.

"Lloyd." Kratos grunted, before putting his sword back in the sheath. And no giggling at the back, you dirty-minded people. "I'm sorry I startled you."

"Kind of an understatement! I almost wet my pants!"

"You best not stand behind me."

Kratos is part horse, apparently.

"Why are you out of bed?" he asked.

"Bored." Lloyd answered, shrugging. He came up next to Kratos.

"Do you like animals?"

"No. Not particularly." Kratos returned. Wow, he really keeps it flowing smoothly, huh?

"Well Noishe seems to be comfortable with you." Lloyd went on, "Usually he runs off like a total coward."

"I once had a pet, long ago..." Kratos said.

...But he just said he doesn't like animals! What the hell?

"Lloyd!" Kratos suddenly said, randomly. "Your swordmanship skills still suck. Get better at it."

Kratos then drifted off, leaving behind a very irritated Lloyd, who muttered as Kratos left,

"Least I don't walk around in lavender."

The next day, they were off to the Triet Ruins, Lloyd complaining about the heat all the way there.

"I'm melting!" whined the teenager; "It's hot!"

"Shut up!" commanded Raine, "Just look at these wondrous ruins! Ooh, this must be polycarbonate, used as an unimportant defense against magic! It's so smooth..."

"Professor, you're disturbing me." Lloyd announced.

"Hmm? This depression...it reads 'Oracle Stone'. Colette! Put your hand on this!"

"Sure!" chirped Colette. She did, and the obvious entrance was revealed.

"Wow! I really am the Chosen!" gushed Colette. Genis rolled his eyes to the ceiling.

"Your stupidity never ceases to amaze me."

Raine earned the title 'Put the rock down, you psycho!'

"Let's go in!" grinned Lloyd.

"How old are you, again?"

This time it was Kratos' turn to be the condescending jerk, evidently.

"It's even hotter in here!" Lloyd commentated.

"Gee, I wonder why? The name Fire Seal makes it all so confusing." Genis grumbled, sarcasm going into overdrive.

"I know, right?"

Genis almost had to physically restrain himself from throwing him into the lava out of sheer despair. And so the group lit various torches and opened various boxes. Riveting, really.

Well, actually, no.

"Wow, that was so boring!" commented Lloyd as they finally reached the Seal. Colette simply stood there and drooled a little.

"Fabulous! Look at these incredible pillar!" cried Raine, running around the room in a frenzied, archaeological joy. Then the seal began to glow.

"I sense mana welling up!" Genis shouted, before the screen shattered and they were lunged into battle, confronted by some weird tiger things that looked like they had been bred with dinosaurs.

"Wow! It's big!" Colette gasped. Lloyd and Genis started to snigger. Kratos attempted to ignore his urge to kill them. Or himself. Or all of the above.

With that, they managed to slay the tigers. Somewhere, the Endangered Species Protection Program all sneezed.

"Chosen of Regeneration, come and offer some prayers at the altar."

"Yes, Lord Remiel." Colette answered robotically.

"Well, who else?" Genis muttered sarcastically.

"Congratulations!" Remiel cried, switching to his announcer's voice, "You learnt the move: Angel feathers!"

Some spirals of light went into Colette, and wings sprouted from her back, all pinky and purple.

"You must go to a seal in a place across the sea. Oh, yeah, and you'll be experiencing some bitchin' side effects. Until then, Chosen..."

With that, he vanished.

"Colette has wings!" gasped Lloyd, because nobody else has eyes. Genis ran over.

"Cool!" he gasped, hopping up and down in excitement. Colette flapped her wings happily as Genis jumped around in a retarded fashion.

"Well, guess it's time to leave!" Lloyd announced, and went warping out.

Outside, they headed down the path when Colette calmly sat down, which was evidently supposed to be dramatic.

"Colette, are you alright?" Lloyd asked, kneeling next to her. Colette looked up.

"I'm... Fine." she managed, clearly not fine.

"Her lips are turning purple!" Raine said, alarmed, "We must take her to a doctor!"

"Wait. It's best not to move her." Kratos stated. "Since I know what I'm doing, unlike all of you, lets just randomly set up camp here."

"I'm sorry." Colette moaned, upset. Lloyd restrained his urge to kill her.

Lloyd decided to go talk to everyone around the campfire. He went to Genis first.

"How did you like the curry today?" Genis asked him, since he couldn't think of anything better to say.

"It was missing something…" mused Lloyd. "Even though I ate almost all of it."

"You're right!" Genis said, surprised, "It should have had Kirima fruit. I didn't think you'd notice, since you usually just shove the food straight into your mouth."

Annoyed at Genis discussing his table manners, Lloyd went over to Raine.

"Isn't it fascinating how Colette's biological structure it changing!" Raine grinned insanely, "I simply must slice her up and find out how it works!"

"Professor!" Lloyd cried, alarmed.

"I was just kidding…partly." Raine stated, irritated. "You really are stupid, aren't you?"

"It's a pretty twisted thing to joke about, you sicko!"

Lloyd was smacked, so her scuttled over to Kratos.

"Desians really screwed up your life, huh?" Kratos randomly stated, gravely.

"Uh, yeah. But why'd you say that all of a sudden?"

"They killed your Mother, and your father too." Kratos intoned, though he said the last part of his sentence a little too fast.

"Yeah…I guess Desians are just plain assholes."

"Yes…people are weak creatures."

"True, but you'll never change things if you sit there and go along with other people's ideals."

Kratos began to sweat a bit.

"Grow strong, Lloyd."

"…Yeah, okay then."

He went over to Colette.

"Are you okay? You didn't eat your curry that LACKED IN FRUIT." Lloyd asked.

"Y-yeah…I just feel sick." Colette lied, giggling.
"Oh yeah, here's your present. I slacked off like hell, but here it is anyway."

Lloyd handed Colette a necklace, which was basically string with some dried pasta slid onto it.

"Oh, WOW!" Colette cried, insanely happy. "I'll wear it forever!"

"Yeah, whatever. By the way, you haven't been eating. Are you anorexic or something?"

"No! Don't be silly!" Colette giggled, unconvincingly.

"You have to eat. You'll be even more useless if you don't keep up your strength."

"Lloyd, don't push her." Raine said.

"What? I'm not!" Lloyd protested. "This is pushing her, look!"

Raine facepalmed as Lloyd shoved Colette over.

"Colette is delicate. Unlike you." Genis added, bitchy.

"Shut up, Genis!" said Lloyd, all annoyed.

...Did he want to be called delicate as well? Lolz.

"Anyway, I'm going for a walk." Colette announced, out of the blue.

"Want me to come?"

"I just want to be alone!" cried Colette, suddenly emo.

"Ha-ha! You got re-jec-ted!" chimed Genis, childishly.

"Ha! That's not how you spell rejected!" Lloyd cried, triumphant, "It's R-e-2-6-9-g-7!"

Everybody stared.
Meanwhile, Colette stood by the lake.

"COUGH! …. What's happening to me?" she moaned, emoing it to the max.

After that boring scene, the party was ready to head over to the Ossa Trail. It was...well, trail-y, with very green grass and pretty flowers with butterflies all over the place. Also, a weird thing that looked like a lollypop sticking out of the ground. Colette went over to investigate.
"Stop!"

The group turned to see a chick in a purple Kimono standing there.

"Scary lady!" hollered Lloyd.

"Is she a friend of yours, Lloyd?" Colette asked, absolutely randomly.

I mean...wtf? Why the hell would she ask that? Lloyd's never left gone past Iselia before, why the hell would he have a ninja friend?

"Not that I know of..." Lloyd managed to say, his eyes suddenly finding themselves glued to the 'Scary Lady's' cleavage.

"Is the Chosen of Mana among you?" the black-haired girl demanded, ignoring Lloyd with gritted teeth.

"Oh, me, me!" Colette cried, jumping up and down and waving her arms.

"Prepare to die!"

But as the Assassin raced forward (and nobody actually moved to help.) Colette suddenly fell backwards, knocking into the 'mysterious lollypop.'

"Uh-oh." Lloyd, Genis and Colette all chimed as the Assassin fell down the conveniently placed trapdoor.

"Oh no!" cried Colette, upset that somebody who just tried to kill her had fallen down a hole, thus not killing her.

"PLOTHOLE!" cried the voice, loudly.

"Please tell me you heard that!" Lloyd said desperately, looking at Genis, Colette, Raine and Kratos.

"Hear what?" the two hal-ahem-elves asked. Colette also looked puzzled, but that was nothing knew. She always looked like that.

"I heard it. We'd best be careful, with that Assassin and also a mysterious voice coming from nowhere." Kratos intoned.

"Oh! Oh no! What have I done?" Colette was moaning, kneeling by the trapdoor.

"Once again, you've been convieniently saved by your inability to walk properly." Raine told her. "She would have killed you otherwise."

"I hope she's okay..." Colette whined.

"Even assuming her weight t0 be , the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow to be unknown, the gravity working and the whole to be 10 feet deep, it shouldn't have been fatal."

"...Duh?" Lloyd asked. "I think my brain started crying when she said that, but she's alive, right?"

"Probably."

Jeez. I know Genis is smart, but what the hell was that?

Genis earned the title of, "Midget McGyver!"

"I hope we still get to be friends when she catches up!" chirped Colette.

Kratos and Lloyd both wondered how they'd keep their no-killing-the-saviour-of-the-World thing they had going intact.

Yay! I've finally got Sheena into the story. The new chapter will be up soon, along with a Halloween Special! Oh, and it's my Birthday on Sunday, so wish me a good one!
