Tales of Symphonia, idiot seraphim.

((A/N: And just to make sure all you KratosxYuan fans won't have to wait on the edge of their seats one more day, I update again!

Katandshadow: Is the tree really called Yggdrasill? I mean, in tales of Phantasia, is that the same tree? Because I thought all those games were set in different worlds...

Scorch the hedgehog: I suppose they're all a bit idiotic. Hence the title, idiot seraphim. The plural of seraphim is... seraphim! Lol! Then again, Iguess Kratos isn't stupid. He's the smartest of the bunch.

Everyone else: Enjoy this chapter!Yay!))

Chapter 9.

As more than a week had passed, it was time for another Cruxis meeting. However, since Yuan and Kratos still hadn't returned from the Renegade base, Mithos decided to do it without them.

"Shouldn't we wait until they get back?" Zelos asked, sitting down behind one of the desks.

"No. It could take days. That base is Yuan's second house." Mithos shook his head. "Besides, we've got more pressing matters."

"Such as?"

"Our next step in anti discrimination. I've printed out these lovely pamphlets, and we're going to hand them out in all the cities and villages. I suggest we start with Triet. I need a good tan." Mithos held up a colourful pamphlet, depicting two stick figures holding hands. The text read 'Free the world of discrimination, so we can live in harmony. Support the Cruxis organisation of angels!'

"What's that drawing supposed to be?" Zelos asked, tilting his head slightly.

"It's a human and a half elf! Isn't it obvious?"

"No…"

"Nobody understands art..." Mithos sighed. "Anyway, let's get going."

"Do I have to?" Zelos whined.

"If you want to get your pay, yes."

"You're not paying me at all!"

"Ohhh, right. Why are you still here?"

"I keep asking myself that same question." The redhead muttered.

Soon Zelos was dragged along to Triet, and stood at the market square with Yggdrasill.

"Excuse me! Sir!" Zelos called, waving a pamphlet, but the passers by simply passed by. "Mith- I mean Yggdrassil! This is useless! Let's go!" he sighed.

"No! You just have to try harder! It's a long road to a world free of discrimination." Yggdrasill said, stuffing a flyer in an unsuspecting woman's handbag. Zelos sighed again and turned to a man who was just passing by.

"Hey sir! Have a flyer! End discrimination!" he said quickly, pushing a pamphlet in the guy's hands.

"Are you calling me a racist?" the man asked suspiciously.

"No! I was hoping that you would spread the word to your friends and-"

"Oh! So now you're calling my friends racists too?" the man barked, rolling up his sleeve.

"Ah! No! I just…" Zelos stepped back, holding up his hands in defense. "Yggdrasill! A little help!"

"No, you foolish girl! They're not trees! They're a human and a half-elf!" Yggdrasill was shouting at a little girl on the other side of the square. The girl started to cry loudly.

"Get 'm!" shouted a random guy, and soon Zelos and Yggdrasill were being chased out of town by a mob carrying torches and pitchforks.

"Yggdrasill, we have to fly away!" Zelos shouted.

"No! We can't expose ourselves as being angels! Don't worry, Yuan's base should be near here! Just keep running!" Yggdrasill replied.

"Heretics! Maniacs! Die!" the mob shouted.

"Leave us alone! And what's with the torches anyway? It's broad daylight!" Yggdrasill shouted.

The seraphim soon reached a large fence that surrounded the Renegade base. They quickly ran through it and barricaded it with a small twig. The mob pulled at it angrily, not able to open it.

"Hurry! They're gonna climb over the fence!" Zelos shouted anxiously, looking back.

"It's locked!" Yggdrasill called, furiously tugging at the front door.

"Move!" Zelos shouted, pushing Yggdrasill aside and pressing the intercom button. There was a soft, annoying tune and a clicking sound.

"Lord Yuan- I mean… the mysterious and anonymous Renegade leader, is not at home right now! Leave a message after the beep and get lost, you nosy git!" said a recorded voice. It was followed by a loud beep.

"Yuan! Kratos! We're in trouble! Open up!" Zelos shouted. There was a silence, and another clicking sound.

"What the hell do you want?" asked Yuan's annoyed voice on the other side of the intercom.

"We're being chased by an angry mob! Let us in!"

"Uhm… We're kinda busy now…" Yuan coughed slightly.

"Just open the door, before they stab us with their pitchforks and rip us apart! I order you to do as I say!" Yggdrasill shouted.

"Oh fine. Just wait in the hallway then, while me and Kratos go find our clothes." Yuan sighed in a disappointed voice, while an annoyed groan could be heard in the background. There was a clicking sound again, and the door opened. Zelos and Yggdrasill quickly dove into the hallway and closed the door behind them, just as the angry mob had finally broken the twig that was barricading the gate.

((Wellllll? Did you not love this chapter? Mheheheheh... Their hard work against discrimination isn't really paying off, is it?))

((I didn't originally plan this chapter, but I wanted to have the guys do some more protesting, and have 'm pay a visit to the Renegade base. So that's what I wrote.))
