Hey! It's been a week and I'm back with chapter 10! Bad news. Next week I'll be leaving for a vaction so I won't bable to unload chapters 11 or 12 until I can get back. Sorry!

I do not own Tales of Symphonia or Pokemon!

The Grim Regal stood over me as I laid on the ground. Scythe in hand he raised it to the left of his head. I tried to call out but no sound followed the movements of my lips. Regal's eyes were like Colette's after the angel transformation; cold and emotionless. He pulled the scythe to my neck—

"Sssssssshu" The air rushed into my lungs from holding my breath. (I make weird noises ALL the time)

"So you're awake." I sat up in bed in a bright room with the sun outside the window already high in the sky. Glaring daggers at Mewtwo I said,

"Why didn't you wake me up?"

"You were having a nightmare. Nightmares may hold the secrets of our lives along with dreams. I thought you make want to sleep in after all that happened yesterday."

"Way to get off topic."

"You've had this dream before."

"...A...similar one. I didn't get my head chopped off that's for sure."

"In both of your nightmares you are killed, by whom?"

"Regal."

"The same Regal you have a crush on?" Mewtwo asked without really asking a question.

"You'd be surprised on how rare a name that is."

"Huh, I don't trust him."

"Yeah, 'cuz the most you know about him is what I know, and the fact that he's killed me twice in my sleep." Alto if you can hear me that means you need to fix this dream thing. I know you have access to my mind so I need you to do this for me......Jerk.

"Who's a jerk?"

"Zelos."

"That is understandable; when he attacked me I did receive a jerk-like impression from him."

"Two questions; do you have jerk-dar and what happened yesterday while I was gone?"

"One, no. And two, he came into the room, saw me, said that I killed you, dragged me outside and the rest you'd say, is history."

"He's a doorknob. Alright let's get out of here before Regal finds you."

"I'll be traveling in the Masterball I assume."

"Yep but first I'm going to get breakfast. I'll bring you back something."

After a lovely breakfast and smuggling both Mewtwo and his own breakfast out of the hotel we decided to hunt the redhead chosen guy down. Concealing Mewtwo in his pokéball I approached the great Zelos Wilder to confront him on yesterday's events.

"Why my Sumptuous Sweet, what brings you to my presence today?" Ugah. He is still trying that on me? Uh, he is so gross.

"Listen, yesterday you found a creature in my hotel room right?"

"Yes, you weren't there so I figured that--"

"-He's my friend! He was staying with me." I pulled out my swords. "Now I got a bone to pick with you!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, you can't do that to that to the great Zelos Wilder! Even if you are a total hottie."

"Shut. Up. We'll settle this at the coliseum tomorrow. We'll have a double battle. Two-on-two. Got it? Find a teammate and head there. I'll be waiting." Sheathing my blades I walked away. "Be there at twelve-thirty. Don't be late."

"Did she just under go a major personality change?" Zelos asked.

Mewtwo and I were resting outside Altamira when I saw Regal in the distance. "Quick hide!" Mewtwo once again when into the Masterball begrudgingly, cursing whoever creating such a tool of mass torture.

"There you are Stacy." I love the way he says my name....Get it together girl!

"Hi Regal. Where you looking for me?"

"Actually yes. Yesterday..." You tried to kill me. I thought to myself. "When you came back from the forest, did you see an angel?"

"An angel?" I let my head roll to the side.

"You where flying your Rheaird right behind it. Maybe it was just my imagination." Ah shoot! Regal had seen Mewtwo on the Rheaird and thought it was me, and saw me and thought I was an angel.

"I don't remember seeing anything like that yesterday, I'm sorry."

'You're lying to him.'

It's not lying. Technically I never saw an angel because by the time I looked in the mirror I had put my wings away.

'You are impossible.'

Thank you.

"I see then. I'm sorry I bothered you."

"What? You're not bothering me. The only person who really bugs me is Zelos."

"Heh, you say that so casually."

"I mean it. Since my brother and sister are in a different world the only person around to get on my nerves is that unfaithful chosen."

"So what do you plan to do with the rest of your day?" My gaze wondered to the mountains on the east side of the island.

"I think I'm going to check out the local landscape."

"I'll accompany you." Regal must have guessed that I was going to the mountains.

"I thought you were a company president. Don't you have work to do?"

"I can delegate it." So that's what his job entails!

"Whatever."

The view from the cliffs was amazing. I could see the whole island in one direction, and see nothing but water in the other. I was at the edge of the cliff lost in my mind.

"So what are you doing up here my beauty?" At the sound of the chosen's voice I lot my balance as I spun around to yell at him. I started to fall backwards off the cliff.

"Stacy!" Regal yelled from below.

"No!" Zelos followed me off the cliff, without his wings. The forsaken angel has managed to catch up with me and held me closely and tightly to his chest. I was unable to catch my breath from three things. One, I was in shock from Zelos grabbing me. Two, Zelos was almost constricting me. Three, I was scared silly from the thought of dying. So when we hit water (at last!) my lungs began to fill with water instantly. Zelos let go of me and swam to shore to save himself. The jerk. Feeling sick under water and not have lugs full of water combined was awful. I struggled for the surface.

"Huh, kah, ack, ka, hah, hah, hah, haa." It felt so good to breath. I breast stroked to shore where Regal and Zelos were.

"I am so glad your safe."

"Stacy, are you alright?" Regal asked as I crawled out of the water. I was still breathing heavily. I was on hands and knees before two older men feeling like a twit.

"It's a good thing I caught you when I did or you could have drowned. So why not reward me here." My breathing turn into a low growl, gaining volume with each breath. I lunged for Zelos when something stopped me. Regal had put his arms around me to hold me back form mauling the other aristocrat.

"Let go!" I struggled long and hard with no avail.

"You have to calm down first."

"Why should I? If Zelos hadn't latched on like a cobra then I could have used one of my artes to save my self. He almost drowned me!" I felt like a wild animal, in fact I didn't feel like I was the one who was controlling me for a moment. Regal was too strong for me so I stopped trying to fight him. "Please let me go." I said calmly. Regal lifted his arms to release me. I suddenly felt light headed. I dropped to my knees and held my hand against my forehead. "What happening to me?" I whispered. A pulse of electricity surged through my body with my heart beat, grabbing hold of my whole body with pain. Images of Alicia started flashing through my mind. Please let me in... (If you have ever seen Final Fantasy VII: Advent children, it was like I was suffering from Geo Stigma minus that black goo.) "Hua, ah, uha, na, ah, tah." I felt like I was being attacked from the inside out. What was Alicia trying to do to me? "Please, just kill me and get it over with." I fell over and blacked out. Please let me help you! Alicia called out to deaf ears.

"What...just happened?"

"I don't know, but she seriously looked like a wild animal back there. She even sounded different."

"But what would--"

"Arooooooooooo!"

"What was that?"

"I could be a monster. We should make sure that it doesn't attack her." Regal and Zelos ran off to find the monster that had howled. When they left Mewtwo came out of his pokéball and floated by his master.

"Those forces...Hmph. I guess I'd better take her inside for now."

Please, let me in. I can help you. Please! Alicia's voice rang in my head.

"No! Leave me alone! Let me go. LET ME GO!" I sat up in my bed at the hotel barely able to catch my breath.

"Did you have another nightmare?" I was Regal who asked it, not Mewtwo. I turned my head to see who else was there. Regal and Zelos were lounging in my room. "Are you alright?"

"You were pretty wild back there. You part monster or something?" The bloody chosen joked. I couldn't find the voice to respond to them, I just kept trying to breath.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Regal's voce of reason was too flip'n attractive. Why did Caspian Freedmen have to have such a bloody sexy voice?

"What does she want with me?" I whispered, unfortunately loud enough for the two men to hear.

"Who are you talking about?" Great, Zelos is being nosy.

"Ah, no one. Just...a closet skeleton."

"Closet skeleton?" Regal seemed surprised by my choice of words.

"That's...the only way I could describe her for now."

"Are you going to be alright? You didn't seem quiet yourself earlier."

"I'm fine. I need some time to my self."

"Is that why you came up here?" So they didn't bring me here. I better just play along.

"Yeah. I needed some time to think this over. And recuperate."

"Say no more, say no more! We'll leave be." Zelos might be a jerk but at least he was quick to take a hint. The two walked out the door leaving me alone at last.

"Mewtwo." I whispered very faintly.

"Yes?"

"How did I get in here?"

"I carried you here. I distracted those two with a howl."

"...Thank you."

"Something is wrong with you."

"What?"

"When you were possessed back there...I felt two different beings trying to take over you."

"Probably. One was that demon, and the other me."

"No. I did feel a demonic presence, but the other was closer of that to a specter."

"Specter...Like a ghost?"

"Yes. Did you know this person?"

"It was Alicia, Regal's lover from way back when. I have NO idea what she wanted with me."

"To protect you?"

"What? Elaborate please." I spun my hand to emphasize.

"She may have been trying to possess you so that the other spirit could not."

"Makes sense. But why me? Why are these creatures trying to possess me?"

"I'm not sure. All you have to do is at the task at hand."

"The challenge we made with Zelos. I wonder who he'll find to fight with."

"We see soon enough."

"Mewtwo I-" that was all I could say before I puked and passed out again.

"So Regal, do you have any plans for tomorrow?"

"What are you getting at Chosen?"

"Nothing. I've just asked everyone I know to come with me to the coliseum for a fight, but no one has taken me up on my offer."

"I'm not sure that anyone would stand against you in a fight."

"I never asked them to fight me. Someone just wanted a two-on-two fight against me so I need a partner. What do say?"

"Very well chosen. By the way who made this challenge?"

"Some punk who needs a new pass time."

It was the day of the match. That night I did have another dream--scratch that. A nightmare. I was lying on the ground and The Grim Regal was kneeling over me, with a hand on my throat, strangling me. I couldn't let it get to me. Not today. I stood by myself in the center of the arena waiting for my opponents. I had to be strong. If not, I would surly die.

"So who was it that we're fighting again?" Regal was intent of finding out whom the challenger was.

"You'll find out soon enough. Don't be so impatient."

"Hm." Zelos was rather irritating today. They walked out of the dark tunnel into the bright sunlight. At first Regal thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him, because standing across from him and Zelos was Stacy.

"What are you doing here? You'll get catch in the cross fire if you don't leave now."

"You didn't tell did you Zelos!"

"Tell me what?"

"I thought this was a two-on-two fight. Why are you here alone?"

"What's going on?!"

"I'M YOUR OPPONENT!"

"What? But..."

"I bet Zelos didn't tell you because every one else said no when my name was brought up."

"Yeah, it's true. But what was I supposed to do? Forfeit?"

"Yes!" Regal yelled at Zelos.

"It's too late for that now. We're all here so the fight can begin!"

"But you're all alone. I doubt that you could take the two of us at the same time. Even you can't find away to take advantage of us here."

"Your right. Oh what ever will I do? Surly I can't win against two of the strongest fighters in all the land. MEWTEWO LETS HIT IT!" I pulled out his Masterball and tossed it in the air. When the creature called 'Mewtwo' appeared Regal recognized it immediately; it was the monster he has seen in his dream. The one that had killed Stacy.

"You called master." Mewtwo said with his new cloak flapping in the wind.

"Yes. Which one do you want to fight?"

"I'll take the devil. I have a 'debt' to repay."

"That leaves me with Regal. Remember what I told you."

"Yes. Can you handle this?"

"I'll try. Yes. Regal! You may have been nice to me all this time, but I'm not going to go easy on you! What you've seen of my power is nothing compared to what you're getting today."

"But-"

"If you hold back, I'll never forgive you."

"Alright. I'll fight you."

"Thank you. I'm sorry."

"What?"

"Begin!" The announcer called.

"No way will I lose to you! Ninja arte, quick attack!" My speed was beyond all else. I t was incredible, but I needed to focus. Mewtwo had spent all of yesterday training with me so that I cloud last longer in battle before I collapsed from Mana exhaustion. I cloud feel the grasp I had over my body slipping as I dodge the attacks Regal was launching. Wait until you fight Zelos to go berserk! "Ninja arte! Focus punch!" I nailed Regal in the jaw with my fist that was now covered in blue energy.

"Ugah!" Regal landed on him back from the blow.

"I'm not going to lose! NINJA ARTE! AURA BEAM!" I released a blast of energy from my hands similar to what Regal could do. Regal stood up just in time to receive the full force of the attack.

"No!" Regal tried to block the attack with only failure as a result. "I'm sorry Alicia." After the blinding light cleared I could see Regal collapsed on the ground. I had done it. I'd defeated the man that I was in love with. I was still standing strong. I looked over to see that Mewtwo wasn't faring as well as I had. Zelos had laid a beating on him with magic attacks. Thank god. Zelos than started to run at Mewtwo with his sword drawn, ready to kill.

"No! Ninja arte! Bullet seed!" The attack had thrown the red head off course and into the wall. "Mewtwo now!"

"What?" Zelos had gotten up and was staring at us. He ran at Mewtwo again, determined to kill him.

"Ninja arte! Shadow ball!"

"Psychic!" I tossed a black glowing sphere at the fallen angel while Mewtwo grabbed hold of him with his psychic power and squeezed. "Accept your destiny!"

"Forgiveness is too late!"

"Beta formation!" We called out in unison. Mewtwo began to gather energy before him that was purple, while I added to it with dark energy. "Mind blast!" I held up one arm while Mewtwo held up both of his and a giant ball of dark light engulfed the chosen. (it looks like a photon after a plate swap)

"What a sorry way to go." Zelos said as he fell to the ground defeated. Mewtwo and I took our victory stance.

"This is your destiny. You'd do well to accept it."

"We can't lose yet!"

"Ah. Where-?" Regal sat up in the infirmary bed.

"Oh you're awake!" I got of the chair I had been sitting on.

"What happened?"

"I might have gone a little over board with that last attack. Honestly I think Zelos is worse off."

"Yeah, but I haven't been knocked out for the past hour." The chosen said leaning against the wall.

"Chosen? You're not hurt."

"More than you."

"What?"

"I can understand this is confusing. The attacks that Mewtwo and I use are not meant to kill, just weaken."

"Mewtwo?"

"Yeah, who was that you where fighting with? I've never seen anything like that before."

"I'd better explain." Mewtwo let himself out of the Masterball.

"I can do it."

"Ah!" Both Zelos and Regal jumped at his sudden fabrication.

"Everyone, this is Mewtwo. Like me he is from a different world. Not my world, but another world that I also have heard about."

"Personally I don't know what she sees in you." Mewtwo said to Regal.

"You can shut up! And if you bring that up again..."

"You should be so lucky that my master lacks the capacity to kill."

"You can drop that right now!" Mewtwo continued to ignore me and turned to Zelos.

"You. If I wasn't acting under orders, I'd kill you. You should be thankful that my master asked me to hold back."

"Master? Why do you call her master?" Regal asked.

"And shouldn't it be mistress or lady?"

"Mewtwo you don't have to call me that. We. Are. Friends. I'm no better than you. Heck I should be groveling on my hands and knees begging for mercy from you."

"Never. You saved me. I own you my life."

"I just bloody opened the Masterball you were put in. I. Did. Nothing!"

"So you hung around back here to tell us this." Regal cut in.

"What? Oh no. I--"

"She refused to leave until she made sure that you were going to be alright."

"Will you stop that!?"

"Very well."

"Guah! Out of all the personalities you could've had you end up like Kratos! Why the heck Kratos?! I'd even take Seto Kiba here!"

"Kratos...Seto Kiba...oh yes. The two men you hate almost as much as the Unfaithful Chosen."

"You keep this up and I'll give you something to really complain about. Like making you listen to the chicken dance song.

"Why do they call it that?"

"Stay out of my head! Ahh! Can we go now?!"

"Very--"

"Just go; don't answer!" I pushed Mewtwo out of the room.

"Do you think...?"

"That Mewtwo could have been that monster that tried to possess Stacy. Maybe. Let's follow them."

We all were outside now, Regal and Zelos were unaware that I had heard what they had said about Mewtwo back in the infirmary. Regal and Zelos were ahead of me and Mew's clone. I suddenly felt mad. I stood still while then men walked ahead, Mewtwo remained next to me. Before I knew what I was doing I picked up a rock and tossed it at Zelos' head.

"Oww!" Both nobles turned around to look at me. I pulled Mewtwo into the ball and ran away.

"Ninja arte! Quick attack! Ninja arte Agility! Ninja arte. Extreme speed!" I ran long and hard. When I came to the coast line, I still ran. I was moving so fast that the water didn't even notice my presence. I wanted to be alone, with Mewtwo. I hate society. I hated people. I hated everything. I wanted to see...

Well that the end of this chapter. I've was listening to 'The animal I've become' so I'm kinda in a grrrrrrrr mood in the stroy.

Like I said before no new chapters for about two weeks. Sorry about that. Later!
