The Light Seal
"We made it to the seal!" I exclaimed as Raine ran up the stairs as she got the "insane" look in her eyes.
"Incredible!" Raine exclaimed, examining the tower
"We have the key so we can go in right?" Lloyd asked
"Right!" Kratos responded
"Then let's go!" Genis said
"Ok!" Colette said leading the way. Inside, it was like someone taking all the library books ever and bringing them there, there were so many of them. It was incredible.
"There is the Oracle stone," Lloyd said
"Colette, if you would do the honors," I asked
"Ok!" She said, putting her hand on the stone. At first nothing happened but then a flash on three circles appeared and disappeared.
"What was that?" Lloyd asked
"Nothing opened!" Colette observed
"Perhaps the circles have something to do with it, Lloyd, you step on the one closest to the door, and Genis you take the bottom right one I will take the left." I ordered
"Ok!" Genis and Lloyd acknowledged as we got into position, the right door opened.
"WOW!" Lloyd said stepping off accidentally. (A/n: Are you kidding? that was not accidental)
Stupid Lloyd!
"Lloyd!" Raine said, pointing to the now closed door.
"What? Oh Crap! What happened?" Lloyd asked
"So the door only opens if three people are standing on these circles." I explained
"So we need to have three people wait here while the others go to the seal first." Lloyd said
Impressive thinking, Lloyd!
"Lloyd, why don't you and Martos go with Colette?" Raine asked
"WHAT?" Lloyd and I said together
"Why me?" I asked her
"I have this feeling that you can protect her together, that's all," Raine replied
"Kratos?" I asked him
"I have no objections," Kratos said, and stepped on a circle, followed by Raine and Genis stepping on a circle. The door opened and we went through.
"Martos," Lloyd said, I turned to him
"What's up?" I asked him
"Why did she choose us?" Lloyd asked me
"Well, it is a possibility that it could be a test to see if we really could protect Colette," I told him
"Oh," Lloyd said and continued walking up the long stairway, slicing up monsters along the way, I did the same.
"Colette, we have to move quickly," I told her
"Ok!" Colette said running
After reaching a room that was like a dead-end but it had one of those circular things, Lloyd approached it and Raine suddenly appeared,
"Professor!" Lloyd shouted
"It seems that this machine is linked to the oracle stone room," I said to Lloyd
"The door opened on this side, we are going to proceed and we will meet up with you," Raine said
"Ok! We will wait!" I told her, and I sat down for a while, knowing that we would not be bothered by enemies, I also realized that in order to get to the other side we had to wait until Raine and the others activated the light bridge.
Boring huh?
Yeah!
Don't you want to increase your strength?
Not really! I have more than enough!
Really?
Yeah! And I don't want to be stronger than the others, anyway, not yet!
When?
When my Angel form is Complete!
Ok! I will be waiting!
Geez! You should give me an opportunity to do this myself!
I couldn't hear anymore so apparently he has disappeared and I drifted into a light slumber. I thought I had another dream this time it was in a tower-like place. Kratos was standing at the alter alone with Colette. Colette was praying. Kratos turned to me.
"Ray, you will protect her, always?" Kratos asked
"To the best of my ability, but why?" I asked him.
"I must go back to Cruxis, you must care for Lloyd and the others, you must help me make it look like I betrayed you," Kratos told me
"Lloyd isn't going to like it if he finds out," I reminded him
"I know," Kratos said and he disappeared into a blue ball of light, like Remiel. I woke up to the sound of a machine running and a bridge of light appeared.
"Well that is our cue, let's go, guys" I said, Lloyd and Colette followed, we eventually found ourselves on a platform with two circular pads, Raine and the others were on one pad.
"Ok guys, let's go on the other!" I ordered, Lloyd turned to me.
"Why should we," Lloyd asked me, Raine turned to Lloyd
"Because the way to the seal may be opened if we all step on these pads" Raine explained
"Good Point!" Lloyd said, and the rest of us stepped on the other pad and the circular teleporter thing opened.
"All right!" Lloyd said and was ready to proceed when I jumped in the portal before him.
"Get back here!" Lloyd shouted, and he jumped into the portal after me. When we reappeared at the top where the alter was, we surveyed around, then Raine and Genis appeared and stepped off, Kratos and Colette appeared after. We all walked up to the alter and suddenly light began rising
"Mana Spike!" I shouted, and sure enough the guardian of light, Lubaris, appeared and attacked us
"Great! Here we go again!" I said drawing my masamunes,
"Well? Do you have any strategies?" Kratos asked
"No light magic!" I quickly said and charged, followed by Lloyd, and Colette. Raine and Genis began chanting, and Kratos just shook his head and pulled out his sword and charged.
"EARTH TEMEST!" I shouted, burrowing underground to appear on the other side of him before her could pull out a Force Ray. Lloyd took the hint.
"OMEGA TEMPEST!" Lloyd shouted spiraling over him and adding some extra damage.
"SHARPNESS!" Raine casted encasing my swords with a sharper edge,
"AIR THRUST!" Genis casted to encircle him with air and cut him multiple times,
"DEMON FANG-LIGHT SPEAR!" Kratos combined to stop him in his tracks allowing Lloyd and I to attack from behind.
"FIRE FANG-ICE RAIN: ALPHA-CHAOS STRIKE!" I shouted, sending a wave of fire followed by a series of icicles and attacking upward then repositioning myself in the air to attack downwards faster than the speed of sound.
"SWORD RAIN-TIGER RAGE-DEMONIC THRUST!" Lloyd shouted combining a series of stabs followed by a cut upward a quick rotation in the air and a downward cut and finally with a wave of energy and a precise thrust.
"This guy is tough!" Lloyd said,
"I know!" I said
"RAY THRUST-POW POW HAMMER!" Colette combined to send one of her chakrums into Lubaris and then she pulled out a trio of hammers to wallop the guardian.
"This may be harder than we thought, what the….?" I said, noticing that my exsphere glowing a bright gold again, after that a dark energy surrounded me but only briefly because the energy went directly into my blades
"DARK MATTER WAVE!" I said unleashing a powerful dark attack wave which exploded and killed Lubaris.
"How in the hell did I do that?" I asked aloud.
"Who knows but you did it!" Lloyd shouted, and looked at the alter. Steam rose, ball of light appeared, voice tells Colette to pray, Colette prays, Ball of light disappears, and Remiel appears.
"You have done well, my daughter Colette," Remiel said,
"Thank you, my Lord," Colette said
"On behalf of the members of Cruxis I know bestow upon you more angelic power." Remiel said, Lights come, four on Colette, one to me. I cringe in pain again, as my angel wings get even bigger, and Kratos quickly signaled me to put them away but I wasn't fast enough
"What was that?" Raine asked me,
"What? Oh you mean these?" I showed her my wings,
"Beautiful aren't they?" I asked her
"When did this happen?" She asked
"Probably when the first seal was broken," I told her
"You must allow me to study you!" Raine said going into Ruin Mode again.
"Aw Crap!" I said and quickly flew up away from her
"Hey, I'm flying! Sweet!" I shouted, flying around experimentally,
"Let's go!" Kratos said before things got out of hand.
"Ok! Anyway where is the last seal?" I asked Colette for I hoped she was paying attention.
"Somewhere to the west! I think," She said
"So we can't go there anyway because the path is blocked unless anyone has a pass." I said
"Nope!" Lloyd said
"Might I suggest that we go back to the Ossa Trail area to get a boat?" Kratos asked
"Good Idea!" Genis said, so we went back outside, where once again Colette and I collapsed. Lloyd grabbed hold of Colette.
"Colette! Martos!" Lloyd shouted
"I'm fine, Lloyd, it's not really bad" I said
"Lloyd, I'm sorry to bother you again!" Colette apologized, Lloyd suddenly lost his hold and they both fell.
"OWWW!" Lloyd said while Colette said nothing. Genis ran over.
"Colette, are you okay? Are you hurt?" He asked her
"I'm fine, I just blanked out!" Colette reassured him. I shock my head and saw Lloyd's face had an expression of shock as he must have realized that something was defiantly wrong with Colette.
"Time to set up camp again?" I asked
"Yes," Kratos said
That Night…
"So Kratos, do you think I'm ready yet?" I asked him. We were walking to a secluded spot in the forest.
"Yes, now I want you to concentrate," Kratos told me
"On what?" I asked, a valid question
"On your center of light," Kratos said and whipped out his blue wings.
"Ok!" My wings were also out. I concentrated on the one thing keeping me going, my memories of my deceased mother, I felt my power emerging from within, and Kratos drew his sword.
"What are you doing?" I asked, reaching for my own.
"We are going to duel to help develop your power," Kratos said, I completely drew my blades and stood ready. Kratos suddenly charged me in the air, I barely had any time to react.
"Man, he is fast when he wants to be." I said, taking off in the air.
"Good, so you can fight in the air," Kratos said, swinging at me, while I'm trying to either dodge or block in the air, Two things about fighting in the air: 1) Unlimited movement, and 2) Lots of surprises.
"Kratos, I think you might be taking it way too seriously," I told him, flying/Charging toward him
"But you have to take this seriously or else you'll die," Kratos reminded me
"Right, I forgot!" I said as we continued to clash and stab until Kratos started chanting.
"Sacred Powers, cast your purifying light upon these corrupt souls, rest in peace sinners, JUDGEMENT!" Kratos casted, sending rays of holy light energy raining on me, I managed to dodge all but one.
"AUGH!" I screamed. I then grew mad, I started glowing a pale white, I put one of my blades away.
"Sacred light, I call upon you to unleash your purifying light upon these corrupt souls, JUDGEMENT!" I casted, sending the same barrage down upon Kratos who was also hit only once.
"UGH! Not bad!" Kratos grunted. But I was still mad, and to fuel my anger was the thoughts of my step mom. I was still glowing and I was glowing brighter.
"What is going on?" Kratos asked, kind of fearful. I then glowed so bright it was almost like a supernova.
"LIGHT CHARGE!" I shouted my Whole body began to move at the speed of light, making incredibly fast attacks and leaving Kratos no room to defend himself. Let's just say that if it was in the game I would have done a 40-hit combo. My body's glow suddenly subsided. I saw that Kratos was flat on his back,
"KRATOS! I'm so sorry!" I apologized, rushing to his side; I began checking his wounds, they looked pretty bad. But they suddenly healed on their own, I smiled
"I guess being an angel does have its advantages right?" I asked him, he laughed
"Yes, it does, I'm impressed you have managed to learn a skill so quickly and more." Kratos said, getting up.
"Let's go back!" Kratos said, walking off.
"Ok!" I said following him and soon after we fell asleep.
