Me: Sorry, readers and reveiwers, I have JUST NOW realized that I have not said what Yuka and Xylon are wearing, just don't sue me!

Yuka is wearing a navy blue shirt with buckles with three around the stomach, two around her right upper arm, and one on her left. She has a pair of tan/white, baggy jeans, with buckles right above and right below bother knees. She is wearing a pair of black boots, lined with buckles, and he jeans are tucked into them.

Xylon is wearing a dark gray shirt with a cloak of the color black over it, and he's wearin' a pair of pale blue jeans, with long straps hanging down by the back of his knees.

Me: Anyway, I own nothing!

Chapter 12: A Wrong Turn...

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! You're not goin' without me!" shouted a man's voice.

"Who's there?!" Kratos demanded.

"You don't recogonize my voice, Master Kratos? I'm hurt. How about you, Lady Anna?" the voice took a few steps closer to the tense group.

Anna was puzzled, and the man sighed, and stepped into the light, "It's me!"

Everyone's jaws dropped.

Anna choked, "Noi-"

"Yep, that's me! I thought I'd never understand you humans, but now that I am one, well, yet's just say that it's very strange." the man said. He had green/aqua colored hair with silver eyes. He wore a brown leather shirt with baggy jeans the color of black. He had on long black boots and had a bow and arrows.

"Quite a surprise, eh?" asked another voice.

There were 7 people behind the first guy.

First, was the Eternal Swordsman. He had a small ponytail, and he wore the same 'Dirk' outfit, but his eyes were turning darker, like Kratos's.

Then, the Fair Lady, Colette, she had longer hair in a braid, down right above her butt, and her blue eyes were unchinged.

The Idiot Chosen. His red was cut a little shorter, but not much, and his eyes were the same. He grew out of his 'phase of liking pink,' and changed it to red. So, everything that was pink is now red.

Sheena had her hair down, and her eyes were the same, but she was now wearing her Chief outfit.

Presea had never got her time back, so, she still looked 12. Her pigtails were longer, so, they were more down than up. Her eyes were still a sky blue, but were more darker.

The Warlock had short, messy hair and his blue eyes. He was wearing long sleeves and jeans of his origanal outfit.

Last is El Presidente! His hair was the same, and so was his eyes, but he had now always worn his Dandy outfit.

Lloyd winked, "Sup, everyone?"

"Lloyd..." Kratos breathed.

"Dad...Mom..." Lloyd nodded at his parents.

They nodded back and Lloyd approached them, and they embraced. Zelos commented after they parted, "Yep. Noishe finally entered his final stage. He is now the evil hunter."

Kratos and Anna looked at Noishe again, a little puzzled that, that handsome man was the 'dog' that Kratos had for 2500 years. And THAT is a long time.

Noishe blinked when they didn't say anything, "What?"

"Nothing." Anna smirked.

"Anyway! We should head down for Theron, shouldn't we?" Sheena raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah." they agreed and entered the elevator with all those 19 people! But...the elevator could fit about 12 more people. That is unimaginably big. And they weren't even squashed. Holy Martel!

The pressed the button of the bottom level, and they felt the elevator drop, and they were all getting ready for a huge battle. When the elevator stopped, and the doors hissed open, they looked around, but not a soul was in the room.

They decided to split up: 5 groups of 3, and one with 4.

It ended up like this very quickly:

Lloyd, Colette, Kratos, and Anna were the group of four,

Celeste, Zeki, and Regal,

Scarlett, Yuan, and Yuka,

Sheena, Zelos, and Renne,

Presea, Genis, and Rylan,

Raine, Xylon, and Noishe.

They all took separate paths, and wished each other good luck. They ran towards whatever would came at/after them.

Lloyd, Colette, Kratos, and Anna's group---

"I think we're going farther underground." Colette shivered, "I'm actually getting chilly."

Lloyd rubbed her arms with a free hand, "It'll be okay. Hopefully, if we fight, we'll get warmed up more."

"You're right."

They were walking until they came to a two-way tunnel.

"Great," Anna scoffed, "Now what?"

Kratos focused his mind, but couldn't find an answer. They had a 50-50 chance of getting lost, or get closer to where they wanted to be.

"Let's go left." he declared.

The nodded and walked down the tunnel, and after what seemed like hours, they came to another tunnel choice. However, this one was four-way.

Lloyd spat, "This better not be a giant maze!" his voice echoed and they heard metal scraping against something.

"...What was that?" Colette asked.

"..." Kratos and Anna were listening closely, and the noise continued to go.

They decided it was comming from the second to the right. So, it would be like this: - - - -

They walked even farther, until they came upon the room. The next thing they saw was darkness.

Celeste, Zeki, and Regal's group---

Zeki bit out, "I think we're getting more lost the farther in we go."

Celeste suddenly snapped, "Quiet."

Zeki's eyes snapped open in surprise, but he saw that his mother was looking for something. But what?

Regal noticed as well, "What is the matter?" and he stopped.

Celeste asked them, "Don't you think it's a little too...quiet? There's not a sound except our echoes."

"I agree. We'll have to keep our guard up." Regal stared in the darkness.

The three kept walking, until they reached the same problem as the ones before: a two-way tunnel.

They looked back and forth between the two, and Zeki commented, "I think I feel Uncle Lloyd's Mana...that way. To the left."

The two others thought about it, and it seemed reasonable. So, they turned that way, and walked. The four-way tunnel appeared quickly.

Something was hissing in front of them, by each of the tunnels.

"What's that?" Celeste snapped her head around.

"HISSS!"

"AHHH!"

Scarlett, Yuan, and Yuka's group---

"Ahhh!"

Scarlett stopped and listened. The twins noticed this, "What's the matter?"

"I heard Celeste scream." Scarlett informed.

They heard another scream, a scream of pain. Zeki's.

Yuka panicked, "We have to find them."

"The place is probably bigger than we think. The only chance we'd have is to keep going. If we're lucky, we'll stumble into them." Yuan frowned.

"You're right."

They picked up their speed, and came upon a tunnel, but not the previous ones. This one was an eight-way tunnel. They stared and murmured, "Crap."

Five minutes later...

"Think of one yet?"

"Nope."

15 minutes later...

"Think of one yet?"

"No."

30 minutes later...

"This is ridiculus!" Yuka stood up and choose the one in the middle and she stomped through it. They came upon a large, steel door. The three drew their weapons, ready for battle, and Scarlett opened the door.

What they saw was unbelieveable.

Everyone else got in the room before them, and they were all groaning in pain, on the floor, blood here and there.

"Finally." chuckled Theron, "You finally got here."

Yuka found her words first, "You're gonna pay for what you did! The entire thing!"

He sneered, "This may prove to be an entertaining battle."

Yuka charged, the other two right behind her, and she raised her lance behind her head, and slashed at him. With one hand, he blocked it, and with the other, he casted a spell.

"Grant thee thy power of the Gods, unleash it upon the pityful souls, and show them no mercy...Meteor Judgement!"

Meteor Shower was spreading flames across the room, not blowing anything up, for some reason, and Judgement showered the field.

It was over in mere seconds. He was stronger than any opponent they ever fought. He was at least 50 times stronger than Yggdrasill!

He blew the three away, and Theron approached the fallen Yuka, "This is my gift to you."

He chanted a slow spell, right in fron of Yuka:

"Hear thee, Gods of time and power...send the two Earthlings back from whince they came, show the Syvarantians and Teth'allaians what the powerless planet is...bend and twist forms...show them fear and trust, and show them the horrible power of time...Power Entwined!"

The group all levitated in the air, and, with a blinding light, they were all gone. Theron laughed evilly, "My plan is set! Hahahahaaa!"

---

Yuka groaned, and felt herself in the grass, face down. She felt weak, and yet, stronger, like there was more Mana in her body.

She opened her eyes, slowly, and she saw scattered around her, Sheena, Lloyd, Genis, Kratos, Raine, Zeki, Rylan, Yuan, and Xylon. But where was everybody else.

"Yuka...Yuka, wake up!" she heard a voice in her head, female.

"Who?..." Yuka held her head, "Who is that?"

"Heeelllloooo! It's me!"

"Scarlett? what are you doing in my head?"

"Try, 'what are you doing my body?'"

"What?!"

Me: Oohh, cliffy!

Kratos: How long is this going to go on?

Me: I'm going to try and make it as long as possible.

Scarlett: Great. Read and reveiw.
