Tales of Symphonia, idiot renegade
((A/N: Aaaand, it continues!
Katandshadow: Actually, I kinda would've liked it if Yuan had killed Colette. Sadly, it was not meant to be so.
Luna-starr: Thanks for reviewing! I hope you'll keep reading.
Sesshy is sexii: Not only did Botta graduate as a therapist, his hobby is taking artistic pictures. Ofcourse, there is a difference between photographing a river, and photographing Kratos... But still. He knows his way with a camera.
Silver Latias: Search for Kittieplushie's Livejournal. There's a public post on there with lots of manga scans. And what kind of past experiences were they? Well, let's just say the Kharlan war was a crazy time. Kids experimented a lot.))
Chapter ten.
"Moron. We wouldn't dare attack the chosen the way she is now. Her only goal is to defend herself until she can become Martel's vessel." Yuan said shortly. "I'll demonstrate. Hey, number seventy-eight!"
"Yes, sir?" asked one of the Renegades.
"Grab the chosen's arm." Yuan commanded.
"But, sir, you just said-"
"Do it!"
The Renegade gulped, and approached Colette. He slowly reached out and grabbed her wrist. A fraction of a second later, he was flying through the air and slammed into the wall on the other side of the room.
"Wow! That was so cool!" Lloyd and his friends agreed.
"See? But anyway, it doesn't matter. We no longer have any need for the chosen."
"You don't?"
"No. What we want is you, Lloyd Irving!" Yuan snapped his fingers, and the Renegades formed a tight circle around the group, so they couldn't escape.
"What? But, why me?" Lloyd called out.
"Mind yer own business!" Yuan shouted.
"This is my own business!"
"Oh yeah. Well, whatever." Yuan approached the group, but suddenly Lloyd did the most evil thing imaginable. He kicked Yuan, right in the gut.
"Holy hell!" Yuan fell to his knees in pain.
"Wow Lloyd, you've got a good kick!" Sheena, the ninja girl admitted.
"It's not the stupid boy's kick! It's lord Yuan's wound from Hima!" Botta exclaimed.
"Hima? Whoah! You're the guy that tried to assassinate Kratos!" Lloyd gasped.
"Dammit Kratos, how many times must you get in my way?" Yuan gasped.
"This is our chance! Run!" The group quickly started shoving Renegades out of the way as they ran through the door. Sheena swiftly turned around and summoned a strange fox creature, before making her escape too. Everyone stared at it.
"Awwww, it's adorable!" exclaimed Renegade number eight-hundred and fifty-nine. Suddenly, the fox started growling evilly, and jumped into Yuan's face.
"Help! Get it off! Get it off!" Yuan shrieked, falling over.
"I've got it sir!" Botta pulled a baseball bat out of nowhere, and prepared to take a swipe at the creature. But suddenly, it disappeared in a puff of smoke, and Yuan got whacked in the face with the bat instead.
"You're fired!" he managed to shout, before fainting.
Once again, Yuan slowly awoke, feeling slightly dazed. His head was hurting spectacularly. He opened his eyes and saw a large group of Renegades crowded around his bed again. Only this time, they looked more nervous than worried.
"I assume you've got some bad news for me?" Yuan asked, sitting up.
"Well, sir… It seems that the chosen's group got away." Botta said slowly.
"Got away?"
"Yeah. They… escaped the base."
"Why didn't you use the rheairds to find them again?"
"Heh. Funny story." Botta laughed nervously. Yuan frowned. "See, they went into the hangar and… used the rheairds to flee to Tethe'alla."
"They what? But… how could they just fly away with them? Those things are secured heavily!" Yuan exclaimed.
"It would appear… I left the keys in the ignition." Botta replied quietly, looking at the floor.
"So… What you're saying is that the chosen and her little friends stole our only rheairds, and are now wandering around in Tethe'alla?" Yuan narrowed his eyes. The Renegades quickly edged towards the door.
"Y-yes sir."
"I'm not going to get mad… I'm not going to get mad…" Yuan chanted, rubbing his temples.
"S-so I'll just… try and locate them now, sir?" Botta asked.
"No, ofcourse not! Let them have the rheairds! Hey, why not give them our entire base to go with it?" Yuan asked.
"Sir, I don't think we should-"
"I was being sarcastic!" Yuan shouted.
"Oh! Right! Sorry! Don't worry sir, I'll track those rheairds down again!" Botta saluted and hurried out the door, followed by the Renegades. Meanwhile, Yuan opened his cabinet drawer and pulled out a bottle of aspirins.
((Poor, poor Yuan... -shakes head-))
