Chapter 11: Avenging Anna-Part 2
Author's Note (cont.): I had fun with this chapter so please enjoy!
Lloyd's POV
I stood outside the teleporter which would take me, Kratos and Genis to the room where Kvar was.
"Don't worry Lloyd!" Genis exclaimed "I'll burn Kvar to a crisp! I won't let him get away with killing your mom!"
I smiled meekly. "Thanks Genis."
I was nervous. My heart was pounding, and I felt sweaty, scared and angry.
C'mon Colette, Professor, Sheena! I thought The second you deactivate the stupid lock…
Suddenly there was a click. Kratos pressed a few buttons on the control panel and the metal slab covering the teleporter moved aside, and I saw the blue light shine.
"They did it!" Genis cheered.
"Lloyd." Kratos muttered "Let's go."
Kvar's POV
"Pronyma."
"Lord Kvar. You told me that you had news for me. Being the leader of the Five Grand Cardinals, I don't have time for silly bull."
The projected image of the dark sorceress sneered.
"Well this bit of information may come in handy."
"Well? Stop wasting my time Kvar!"
"Well, you know that little incident 15 years ago?"
"How could I not?"
"Well, one person who fell off the cliff survived."
"You mean Kratos's wife is still alive?"
"Wrong! Pronyma, you do humor me. I removed her exsphere remember? There was no way she could have survived. Think now, who else fell off the cliff?"
"Kratos's son."
"Indeed."
"How do you know he's alive?"
"Well, a few days ago the Chosen's group came barging into my ranch. Kratos was with them. So was a swordsman in red named Lloyd. He looked like Kratos, and when I told him the sad little story of Kratos's wife, Anna, he accused me of killing his mother."
"So how will this information come in handy anyways?" Pronyma scowled.
"I'm sure Lord Yggdrasill will find some use of it. But now for the reason I contacted you. Have you been stealing research from MY angelus project!"
"You speak nonsense Kvar. I have done nothing." She defended herself.
"Kvar!"
I turned around.
Kratos, Lloyd and the half-elf mage stood in front of me.
"Ah. I see. You were right Kvar," Pronyma agreed "He does bear a striking resemblance to him."
"What?" Lloyd scowled.
"Oh Kvar, it seems you have guests now." Pronyma smiled, "By the way, if you think that you have been fooling Lord Yggdrasill, then you are wrong. He knows that Rodyle has convinced you to join him on one of his silly schemes again. Believe me; you won't get away with it."
The projector turned off.
"So the Mana Cannon is no longer a secret" I growled "But no matter," I turned to Lloyd.
"Once I take the exsphere, all rumors about me will cease to exist."
Lloyd drew his swords, and so did Kratos.
"YOU'RE NOT GONNA TAKE THIS FROM ME!"
Kratos's POV
Lloyd rushed at Kvar.
Please let what I taught him actually be of use I thought.
Suddenly three robots appeared.
"Genis!"
"Yeah?"
"Kvar is weak to water spells. Help Lloyd. I'll take care of the robots."
I drew my sword and with all my strength, used my sword to cut the robot into pieces.
"Spread!" I yelled and a vortex of water engulfed the two other robots.
I looked to Lloyd and Kvar.
Kvar had a look of regret on his face, as he guarded all of Lloyd's slashes and thrusts. He probably thought we'd be easy to defeat.
"Spread!" Genis yelled and a vortex of water appeared and sent Kvar flying into the air.
"Oh yeah!" he cheered.
"Lightning STRIKE!" Kvar roared and a massive bolt of lightning went heading towards Genis.
"Guardian!" Genis called and a small green force field came, but the attack was so powerful, he was knocked out.
Lloyd slashed at Kvar's chest.
He howled in pain and he lunged at Lloyd, slashing his arm.
"Argh!" Lloyd winced in pain, gritting his teeth.
"Fierce Demon Fang!" I roared as I slashed Kvar backwards with my sword.
"First Aid!" I cast, as I healed all of Lloyd's wounds.
Lloyd got back up, and let out a yell of rage and stabbed his sword into Kvar's chest.
Blood poured out of Kvar's mouth as he groaned and collapsed to the ground, dead.
"We did it." Lloyd just stared at Kvar's body.
"No." I disagreed as I healed Genis "You did."
He did it. He avenged Anna.
For us.
"Lloyd! Everyone!" Colette called as she ran in, Sheena and Raine behind her.
Raine looked at Kvar's body.
"I see your mother was avenged."
Lloyd nodded. "Yeah."
Raine nodded. "All right I'm going to blow up the ranch now."
Sheena paled. "Wow! I never knew you had that type of power!"
"Don't be stupid. I'm going to use the computer system."
Sheena scowled and the two glared at each other.
"Well that seems a bit harsh. But I guess it's our only option."
"All right now let's see" Raine muttered as she pushed a few buttons on the machinery, which even confused me.
A red alarm went off and a voice said 'RANCH WILL SELF-DESTRUCT IN 15 MINUTES'
I froze. Behind Lloyd, Kvar was standing, holding his sword, grinning like a maniac.
"LLOYD BEHIND YOU!" I yelled.
Kvar raised his word…
"NO! LLOYD!" Colette yelled as she jumped in front of the sword. She didn't even scream as the blade slashed her stomach.
"COLETTE!" he yelled, "YOU BASTARD!"
He plunged his sword into his chest.
I did the same.
Lloyd drew his sword out and dropped to the ground over Colette, who Raine was attempting to heal.
Kvar staggered backwards.
"Kratos! You pathetic-"
"Feel the pain-" I snarled as I slashed him with my sword.
"Of those inferior beings-" I roared as I stabbed him again.
His bloodied corpse fell to the ground.
I sheathed my sword.
"As you burn in hell."
Genis and Sheena stared at me, like I was some killing monster.
I breathed deeply.
Kratos's Flashback
"Kratos."
"Yes?"
I kissed her.
"I love you."
"Why would you say that all of a sudden?"
"Well…If I die from my exsphere tonight I want to at least tell you how I feel"
She kissed me.
"You won't die. I won't let that happen to you."
End Flashback
I had done it.
I had killed the man that had destroyed my hope for having a family.
I hadn't avenged Anna.
But that was good enough for now.
Author's Note: Yay! I finally killed Kvar!
Coming Soon…
