"Are you alright Lloyd?" Genis asked.

Lloyd only walked over to Genis and gave him a hard punch on the arm, knocking him down.

"Oww! What was that for!?"

"For making the Professor worry her head off about you!"

"I thought I told her not to worry!"

"That doesn't mean she won't worry about you!"

"Yeah, well she- wait! Where is Raine?"

Genis scanned the Seal Chamber until he spotted his sister on the floor.

"Raine!" Genis yelled as he ran towards his fallen sister. At the same time, Lloyd ran over to Colette whom had fainted from the pain.

"We have to get these two back to town."

"You plan to carry both Colette and Raine? Cause you know very well that I can't carry either of them."

"Humph. Looks like you two could use some help." A familiar voice said. Lloyd turned around and saw Kratos standing in the middle of the alter with his arms folded.

"Kratos!? How did you get here!?"

"Lloyd, who do you think made the Tower of Salvation reappear? Kratos used it to come down from Derris Kharlan."

"How? Why?"

"Humph, I'll explain later. Right now we need to get these two some help."

"Shall we return to Hima then?"

"No. We'll go to the Holy City in Derris Kharlan. We'll use the Refreshers there."

"Alright, let's go."

*SCENE CHANGE*
DERRIS KHARLAN
WELGAIA

"Just place them on the platform there and hit that button."

"OK."

REFRESH

"Professor, Colette, are you guys alright?"

"I'm fine. I'm sorry for worrying you Lloyd."

"You don't have to appologize Colette."

"Teehee! I'm sorry!"

"Raine, are you ok?"

"Yes, thank you."

Raine stood up and walked over to Genis, picked him up, and gave him a quick spanking.

"That's for leaving the inn without permission! I want to know right now who it is that you left with!"

"Calm down Raine, he left with me."

"K-Kratos!? Wait! Why are we in Derris Kharlan? Why are we in Welgaia?"

"I asked Lloyd to bring you here so that I can give you some information about Yggdrasill."

"This doesn't sound like good news."

"It's not. Yggdrasill has escaped into another world using the machine I discovered."

"Is it the one that you tried to have me power up?"

"Yes it is. I don't know what his plan is, but I know it can't be good- especially for the Chosen One."

"So what do you want us to do?"

"I want to follow him into the world into which he escaped."

"We're going too!"

"Alright then. Genis, please use your magic to power up the machine."

"Alright, here I go!"

Genis cast his magic onto the machine causing it to turn on. Beeping sounds were made and buttons lit up.

"It looks like it works! Good job Genis!"

"Alright everyone, let's go!"

They slowly got up, walked over to the machine, and stepped through the portal which they opened.

*SCENE CHANGE*

A swirling vortex opened up in the sky above a large field.

"Whaaa!" everyone screamed as they fell from the sky onto the field.

"Ugh! That was worse than when we used the Otherworldly Gate!"

Everyone looked around. They could see mountains and forests here and there. They spotted a ranch in the middle of the field, and a castle in the distance.

"W-where are we?"
