Hey everyone. I was able to get this chapter on really quick thats an achievement for me. I think I forgot to mention I never played Tales of Symphonia part one before. Tales of Symphonia does not belong to me here is chapter 7.


Chapter 7: The beginning of a new war

Lloyd found Colette who was inside the house talking with her parents.

(She is busy…now isn't the best time to ask her. *sigh*)

Lloyd walked out and he saw Emil walking away from Sheena and Marta.

(Maybe I should ask Emil for help.)

Lloyd walked up to Emil and he noticed Emil was blushing.

"Hey Emil."

"Oh hi Lloyd."

"Emil I…I don't know if I can ask her."

"Why not?"

"I…I don't know. At first I was ready to and I told everyone to come over. I also knew that it was what I wanted. But now I might be having regrets. Do you think I am doing is right or was I acting brash when I decided to ask her?"

"To be honest Lloyd I really don't know."

Marta walked over to them and answered Lloyd.

"Well it depends. Are you willing to make that commitment?"

"I love Colette there is no doubt about that…but something is telling me that I shouldn't go through with it…not yet."

Marta smiled and said

"You know the younger a couple is the more likely it won't last long."

Lloyd gave it some thought and he finally decided.

"I…I'm going to wait. I don't think either of us are ready."

"Hey guys! The Vangaurd! There is a group of Vangaurd members causing trouble south from here near the human ranch!"

Everyone looked down the road and saw Zelos limping towards the house. When Zelos was close enough everyone noticed he was bleeding. He held his left side which is where he was bleeding from. When he got to the front stairs he collapse and winced in pain. Everyone ran to him and Lloyd and Sheena were helping him up.

"Ahh!!! Forget it just let me rest here I don't need to stand. Hey guys the…arrgh…the Vangaurd…they're at the human ranch."

Emil was the first that said something.

"Zelos how did this happen?"

"Remember that cutie I left to go talk to...well she was a Vangaurd member in disguise. She led me to the base they have and…ahhh…they ambushed me. I didn't have my weapons but I casted some spells and brought down two of them…but…when I was casting one got me from the side and gave me this little cut."

Marta sat next to Zelos and started curing him with her healing powers.

"Zelos this isn't just a little cut. It's…"

Marta got shivers while she healed Zelos because the injury was bad and she didn't want to look at it.

"Aww come on Marta it's not that bad."

Lloyd grabbed his duel blades and went back to Zelos.

"Hey Zelos you rest alright I will take care of them."

Regal stepped up and spoke.

"Allow me to accompany you."

Presea grabbed her axe from her iron maiden and said in her low toned voice.

"I will go as well."

Sheena drew her ninja cards and said

"Yeah lets teach them not to mess with us."

Raine and Genis had their weapons in hand.

"Count Genis and me in also."

Emil looked angry and said

"I won't let this keep happening. They hurt so many people and now they hurt one of our friends. I'm going too."

Marta was healing Zelos and Colette stayed to help. Zelos was slowly recovering but he wasn't going to be able to fight or walk around for about some time.

"You guys go. Colette and I will take care of Zelos."

"Good luck everyone and be careful."

Emil, Lloyd, and the others left to go get rid of the group of Vangaurds who are rebelling. As the group moved south to the ranch Raine had something on her mind.

"It's weird. The Vangaurd is only a rebel group but they always needed someone to make them into the army they were during our last mission."

Emil was interested in what Raine was saying. "Yeah and Richter was the one who turned them into that so called army. But that's done know…right?"

"That is what I am saying. Since they do not have a leader they are only little groups that attack Tetheallan towns. But why would they ambush Zelos? In fact how could they ambush Zelos? They couldn't do something like that unless they were being ordered to by an expert like Richter or Brute."

Emil remembered another top general in the Vangaurd. The general who Marta had no choice but to kill.

"Or Alice."

"Yes but they are either no longer with the Vangaurd or dead."

Regal interrupted.

"Wouldn't that mean that there is probably a general we have not seen yet?"

Lloyd answered.

"If that's the case then we have to be on guard."

As they reached the human ranch the fog started to appear.

"I remember this fog from when Marta and I came hear to save Paul. Be careful there can be monsters."

The group reached the gates and there was no one there. Genis started to get irritated.

"So we walked all the way here just to find out that they ran away?"

Lloyd wasn't ready to believe that.

"Why would they bother hurting Zelos? The Vangaurd would have just attacked Iselia right? What would they gain by luring us…No!"

Lloyd started to dash back to Iselia and none of the others questioned him they all just followed. Once they could see Iselia it wasn't the peaceful little town anymore. Now it was a burning battle field.


Finally the action and adventure will begin but what will happen to Colette and Marta? Also what will happen to the injured Zelos? The flames of war has reached Iselia and now it is up to Emil and his friends to save the inocent people of Iselia. Please review and thank you.
