They all took off from Palmacosta and flew towards Triet. Once there, they headed towards the Triet Ruins. When they arrived they landed and went inside. But when they got to the transporter that would take them to Efreet's seal room, Lloyd and Colette took a step back. "We are not going with you" said Lloyd

"Why not" asked Genis

"The fight with a summon spirit is supposed to be a test of the summoner's abilities and skills" said Lloyd

"If we help you it would be too easy to beat him and no test for Sheena" he said

"Besides, you have already defeated four summon spirits without our help, you can beat the final three" he said smiling

"You're right" said Sheena smiling

The group all got on the transporter and disappeared.

Sometime later they reappeared looking tired and haggard but triumphant. "We did it" said Sheena

"That's great" said Lloyd

As they were about to leave the ruins the ground shook. Colette clung to Lloyd until it stopped. "It happened a lot faster this time" said Lloyd

"It also seemed to be an increase in magnitude as well" said Regal

They left the ruins and headed to Triet to rest for the night.

The next morning they got up and took off for Balacruf Mausoleum.

At about mid-day they landed at the Balacruf Mausoleum and went inside. Lloyd and Colette stayed in the room with the five different colored windmills while the rest of the group went on to fight Sylph.

Sometime later as Lloyd and Colette were waiting for everyone to come back, the room started shaking violently. Lloyd grabbed Colette and surrounded them with his wings to protect them from any falling debris. Once it was over Lloyd's wings disappeared and he let go of Colette. "It appeared they were successful in making a pact with Sylph" said Lloyd

"It happened almost instantly this time" he said thinking out loud

They saw the group walking down the stairs and Colette ran up to them asking "Are you all alright"

"We're fine" said Sheena

"Did anything happen to you" she asked

"No" said Colette

"Lloyd protected me" she said smiling

They left the Balacruf Mausoleum and headed to Asgard to rest for the night.

The next morning they were talking about how they could find Aska. "I still have my notes from when we talked to that family" said Raine

She then read out loud all of the notes to the group. "We can only get to the Linkite tree by flying there" said Lloyd

"Using the nut we have, we can revive it with the help of Gnome and Raine" said Sheena

"Then Sylph can carry the sound to Aska" she said

"Let's go" shouted Genis

They left Asgard and flew towards the Ossa Trail. Once they arrived they started looking for a dead and ancient looking tree from the air. Eventually Colette shouted "I found it"

They all looked to where Colette was pointing and saw parched ground with a dead tree in the middle of it. "Good job Colette" said Lloyd

Raine looked at the surrounding area and said "You definitely couldn't get here by foot"

They all landed and walked towards the dead tree. Raine took out the Linkite Nut and put it at the base of the tree as Sheena started chanting. "I call upon the servant of mother earth, I summon thee, come Gnome" chanted Sheena

Gnome appeared in a flash of brown light. "What do you want" asked Gnome

"Please make this ground healthy again" said Sheena

"Alright" said Gnome

He pointed his shovel at the ground and it became healthy again. Gnome then disappeared in a flash of light. "You're next Raine" said Sheena

"Right" said Raine nodding her head

"Bring back this soul from purgatory" chanted Raine

"Resurrection" she shouted

The Linkite Tree came back to life as green grass and flowers appeared all over the ground.

"The tree came back to life" exclaimed Colette

"You did it" cheered Genis

"Your turn again Sheena" said Raine

Sheena nodded her head as she started chanting. "I call upon the heavenly messengers, I summon thee, come Sylph" chanted Sheena

Sylph appeared in a flash of green light. "What do you require" asked Sephie

"Make wind blow though this tree and carry the sound across the world" said Sheena

"Understood" said Sephie

A powerful wind blew though the tree causing the nuts to release a beautiful sound. The sound was carried away and soon Aska appeared in a flash of golden light. "Beautiful" said Colette looking at Aska

"Who called me" asked Aska

"I did" said Sheena

"I would like to make a pact with you" she said

"Where is Luna" asked Aska

"At the Tower of Mana" said Lloyd

"Then I shall head to the Tower of Mana" said Aska

"Make your request when you arrive there" he said

He then disappeared in a flash of golden light.

"Let's head back to Asgard to rest for the night and go to the Tower of Mana tomorrow" said Lloyd

The others nodded their heads and they flew back to Asgard.

That night once everyone was asleep, Lloyd contacted Yuan. "We are making the final pact tomorrow" said Lloyd

"We will be ready" said Yuan

The next morning everyone got up and they took off for the Tower of Mana. When they arrived they began the long journey up the stairs to the top of the tower. But when they reached the top they saw Kratos standing before the transporter. "What are you doing here" growled Lloyd

"You must not form a pact with this summon spirit" said Kratos

"If you do, the protection around the Great Seed will be lost" he said

"That is what we want" shouted Yuan

He then shot a lightning ball at Kratos that he blocked. "We have to free the Great Seed so we can germinate it" said Lloyd

"It will not happen as you desire" said Kratos

"We cannot let this opportunity slip by" shouted Yuan shooting another lightning ball

"Go make the pact" shouted Lloyd

The others nodded as they ran to the transporter. Kratos tried to stop them but couldn't as he had to dodge a chakram. He looked at its owner and saw Colette in a fighting stance right next to Lloyd who had his swords out. "The Chosen one is going to fight me as well" thought Kratos shocked

Kratos was hard pressed to keep up with all three of them. "Lloyd has trained her well" thought Kratos

The fight stopped when the ground started shaking. "They did it" exclaimed Yuan

"NO" yelled Kratos

Outside a giant, grotesque looking tree shot up engulfing the Tower of Salvation and destroying and consuming everything it touched. "What is that" shouted Colette pointing out the window

"That is the Giant Kharlan Tree" said Kratos

"Why does it look so evil and twisted looking" asked Lloyd

"Because its mana is out of balance" said Kratos

"It received too much mana from Sylvarant and not enough from Tethealla" he said

The group appeared on the transporter with Sheena shouting "What is going on"

"The Giant Kharlan Tree has gone out of control" said Kratos

"Do you have a plan to fix this Yuan" asked Regal

"If we cut off the mana flow that should stop it" said Yuan

"That won't work" said Kratos

"The process has already begun" he said

"It will soon consume all of Sylvarant which will destroy Tethealla as well" he said

"That thing is in Tethealla as well" shouted Zelos

"No it isn't" said Kratos

"It is only in Sylvarant because that is where it is getting the most mana" he said

"But it is effecting Tethealla as well" he said

"How can we stop it" asked Genis

"With the Mana Cannon" said Yuan

"You have it under your control" asked Kratos

"It's always been under our control" said Yuan

"We manipulated Rodyle into building it for us" he said

"Here is the plan then" said Kratos

"You will order your men to stop sending mana to the Giant Kharlan Tree and we will head to the Mana Cannon to get it ready to fire" he said

"Alright" said Yuan

He was about to contact his men when one of the Renegades ran up to them "Our Iselia ranch infiltration team has been killed" shouted the Renegade

"Damn it" growled Yuan

"We will go to the ranch and stop the reactor" said Lloyd

"Do you expect us to trust you after what you did" shouted Raine

"I already gave you my reasons for doing what I did" said Lloyd

"Besides, you need to go to the Mana Cannon so Sheena can use Tethealla's Summon Spirits to power it" he said

"Sheena can go by herself with the Renegades to the Mana Cannon while the rest of us will go with you" said Raine crossing her arms over her chest

"Fine" said Lloyd throwing his arms up

"Contact me as soon as the reactor is shut down" said Yuan

"I will" said Lloyd

Lloyd, Colette, Kratos, and the rest of the group minus Sheena left the Tower of Mana and took off and flew towards the Iselia Human Ranch.
