Tragedy at Luin

Our next stop happened to be Luin again, However, when we got there we were in for an unwelcome surprise, the town was in ruins.

"This is..." Lloyd started,

"Horrible!" Collete finished,

"What happened?" I asked, looking over at the devestated city, wooden planks were falling, Houses were demolished and nobody could be seen..... except Sheena.

"You! Now you're even over here?" Genis exclaimed

"You're badly wounded! What Happened?" Lloyd asked

"Oh! It's you guys again, if you want to finish me off now's your chance!" Sheena says awaiting her fate

"You're hurt badly Professor please heal her!" Collete asks as Raine sighs

"I will but first I want to know what happened here? This may be a trap!" Raine replies cautiously

"Professor!" Collete Exclaimes, shocked that Raine may not help her.

"Hah! You're as devious as you look!" Sheena laughs

"Call me what you like!" Raine Replies

"Look at the city, everything's ruined. the Desians.... invaded," Sheena explaines

"What?!" Lloyd and I exclaimed, Sheena then continued to explain how the Desians took everyone to the nearby ranch and destroyed the city. before she could go on.

"Ahh! Someone help me, Please!" A random traveler shouted, we looked behind him to see 2 monsters. Sheena tries bravely to fight them off but was no match for them alone.

"PHOTONIC BALL!" I casted as my exsphere glowed a brillant gold, signifing a new magic, shooting a ball of intense light destroying the monsters and saving Sheena as well

"Are you Okay?" I asked her

"She's lost a lot of blood," Kratos finally speakes up

"Professor?" I asked

"Fine, but I swear you are all too soft-hearted for your own good," Raine replies as she heals Sheena

"Why did you save me?" Sheena asked

"The same reason you tried to protect that guy!" I told her

"Thanks! I ummm, this is kind of a selfish thing to say at this point but could we declare a truce and travel with you to the ranch to save the people there?" Sheena asked

"All Right!" Lloyd said

"Are you serious?" Raine asked

"I agree with Lloyd!" Collete said

"I have no Objections," Kratos added

"Sorry Raine," Genis apologized

"On one condition, If you do anything such as try to kill Collete, you're as good as monster fodder, are we clear?" I asked stopping any further protests, she agreed and we were on our way.
