Disclaimer: I still don't own it! Really I don't! But I wish I did, especially Kratos and Zelos and Yggdrasill and Origin (sigh)

When we last left our disgruntled heroes plus the Holy Barrel Man, they were trekking through the Fluffy…oh, sorry. They had just gotten the news that Sam, the Summon Spirit of Sanity, was at COLLEGE. They needed to find Kratos because for some reason, he knew where Sam's dormitory was. I must admit that seems strange.

At any rate, Kvar had made Magnius throw the kendama away. After he blew the temple up with that huge tidal wave, he had been threatening to kill them all with a nice big Cyclone. Forcystus was still on a leash, and still screeching about the "precious."

"Well, my friends, this is where Kratos Aurion was last seen," sighed Magnius. "Palmacosta."

"What did he do here?"

Magnius walked over to a building. "Judging by the burn marks, I'd say this is the work of a Flame Lance." He examined the shop. "This is an Explosion victim."

"So…fire spells? Kratos burned down Palmacosta?"

"Probably."

Zelos looked around. "Hey…that's a…" He ran over, not daring to believe it. "A BARREL! And unscathed by the fire!"

Yuan appeared in a cloud of yellow-but-also-kinda-green-oh-what-the-hell-am-I-saying-colored smoke. He loudly proclaimed, "SAMMICHES ARE IN TOWN!" and started breakdancing. A puppy appeared out of nowhere and started rapping along. Kvar stared at the puppy. It was so adorable! He couldn't believe the rapping puppy!

"Must…touch…PUPPY!" he screamed, and ran forward to hug it.

"No, Kvar, don't!" Magnius yelled. "It is evil!"

And then…THE PUPPY EXPLODED!

Yuan was, strangely, unhurt by the explosion. He just kept breakdancing. "Yo…you want a sammich?" he asked.

"I guess," said Zelos. He took the sammich and started to eat it. Then he choked.

"Stop, drop and roll! Stop, drop and roll!" yelled Lloyd, who was just randomly there.

"Oh, shut up, ya blowhard!"

"No! My daddy told me to stop, drop and roll so now I'm telling YOU to stop, drop and roll and…and…" He took a shaky breath and started crying. "DADDY!"

Kratos appeared out of nowhere. "What?"

"They…they won't listen to my stop, drop and roll…" Lloyd kept crying.

Kratos patted his son on the head. "It's okay, Lloydie. I'll go kill them for you."

"No, wait! We need you!"

"…In what way?"

"Well, it seems that, uh, the Summon Spirit of Sanity—"

"Sam! Yeah, I remember him. What about him?"

"Well, the thing is, uh, he moved to college, and we were hoping you could help to find him."

"Eh, okay. Whatever. So, let's see, if I recall, Sam went to Meltokio University before getting drafted for the great war, and then he wanted to go back to his studies and he said he'd go to Sybak…no, wait…not Sybak…was it Sybak? Oh, I don't remember. No, it was…it was…he'd go to PALMACOSTA!"

There was a moment of silence. "You burnt down Palmacosta."

"WHO TOLD YOU!" Kratos yelled suddenly, his eyes glowing red.

"We figured it out."

Kratos's suddenly-hugified-head shrunk back down to normal size. "So, since Palmacosta suffered an…accident…hehe…we well need to go to Sybak. Unfortunately for you, we require Rheairds. And…I don't think you have Rheairds."

"Aw, of course they do!" said Yuan. "On account of they bought my sammich!" He continued breakdancing.

"Dammit!"

"Sorry, Kratos," said the Holy Barrel Man. "But anyways, we need to bring um, what was his name?"

"Sam?"
"Yeah. We need to bring Sam here to…do something spiffy."

"Spiffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay," everyone chorused.

To be continued…

Finally, the latest chapter is here! Sorry for making you wait! But there are a few mysteries of this chapter I just randomly thought of! Like…what will happen to Lloydie? What happened to the barrel? Why did they chorus, "Spiffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay"? And last but not least, WHY IS EVERYONE CALLIMG HIM LLOYDIE! Well, we may yet find out in the next chapter…I guess…

So remember, kiddies, eat yer sammiches and crush some bugs! Bye-bye!
