Thanks to chronos-girl for your review.
The group lands at the Iselia Human Ranch and goes inside. They change the function of the Sorcerer's Ring and it released a burst of mana. "That was pure mana" said Lloyd
"We will have to be careful how we use it" he said
"Right" said Colette
They went into the next room where Raine hacked into the main terminal. "It appears we have to go past where the prisoners are held to get to the mana reactor" said Raine
"We will have to split up if we want to rescue the prisoners" said Kratos
"We will do that when we get there" said Lloyd
They preceded though the ranch and eventually made it to the prison area. They killed all the guards before Lloyd says "Colette, Kratos, let's go"
"Why are they only going with you" asked Raine
"You need to stay here to heal any of the prisoners that need it" said Lloyd
"Zelos and Regal need to stay behind to protect the prisoners from any guards you run into" he said
"You also might need Genis for his spells and Presea needs to stay behind to guard him while he chants" he said
"Alright" said Raine
Lloyd, Colette, and Kratos ran to the mana reactor and saw Forcystus standing before it. "Forcystus" shouts Lloyd
"Please stop the mana reactor" pleaded Colette
"The Great Seed is destroying the world" she said
"I know" laughed Forcystus
"On whose orders are you acting under" asked Kratos
"Everyone is dead" he said
"Mine" exclaimed Forcystus
"Once the world is destroyed I shall rule from Derris Kharlan" he shouted
"You're mad" shouted Lloyd
Forcystus just started laughing as he aimed his arm cannon at them. All three of them dodged it as Lloyd and Kratos attacked Forcystus. He was hard pressed fighting against both of them allowing Colette to get behind him.
"GRAND CHARIOT" yelled Colette
Forcystus yelled out in pain after getting hit by the attack allowing Lloyd and Kratos the chance to kill him. "All of Cruxis is now dead" said Lloyd sheathing his swords
Kratos went over to the terminal and shut down the reactor and then set it to self-destruct. "I have shut down the reactor and set it to self-destruct" said Kratos
"Let's get out of here" said Lloyd
They ran out of the ranch and met up with the others outside of the ranch watching as it blew up. Lloyd took out his communicator and said "You are cleared to fire"
"Right"
At the Mana Cannon Yuan said "You are clear Sheena"
Sheena nodded her head as she started chanting. "I call upon the Hammer of Godly Thunder, the Servant of Mother Earth, the Disciple of Everlasting Ice, the Envoy of the Dark Abyss; I summon thee, come Volt, Gnome, Celsius, and Shadow" chanted Sheena
In a flash of yellow, brown, light blue, and black light the Tethealla summon spirits appeared around her. "Gather before me and unleash thy power" commanded Sheena
The Tethealla summon spirits sent their mana into the Mana Cannon before they disappeared. "FIRE" yelled Sheena
The Mana Cannon fired and destroyed the rampaging Giant Kharlan Tree. The Great Seed then went back into the Holy Ground of Kharlan.
Back at the destroyed Iselia Human Ranch, they all heard over the communicator "The Great Seed is perfectly fine"
"That's good" said Lloyd in relief
Kratos brought out his wings and took off. "Lloyd" said Kratos
Everyone looked up at Kratos as he said "If you truly wish to reunite the world, meet me in the Torrent Forest"
He them flew off.
"Let's go Colette" said Lloyd
Colette nodded her head as they both took off. "Wait for us" shouted Genis
"You can't come" said Lloyd
"Why not" asked Genis
"Torrent Forest is a sacred forest guarded by the elves" said Lloyd
"You wouldn't be allowed in" he said
"And you would" asked Sheena
"Yes" said Lloyd
"Go to Iselia, we will go there when we are done" he said
"Bye" said Colette
They then both took off.
They flew to the Renegade's Sylvarant base and crossed over to Tethealla. They then flew to Heimdall and landed. "Greetings Son of Kratos" said the guard
"The Elder is expecting you" he said
"Thank you" said Lloyd
Lloyd and Colette entered Heimdall and went to the Elder's house. They went inside and the Elder said "Greetings Lloyd Aurion"
"Your father has already entered the forest and is waiting for you at Origin's shrine" he said
"Origin" exclaimed Lloyd
"Who's Origin" asked Colette
"He is the King of Summon Sprits" said Lloyd
"What is he up to" thought Lloyd
"Thank you" said Lloyd
They left the Elder's house and went into Torrent Forest. They made it through the maze like forest and arrived at Origin's shrine. "I see you have finally arrived" said Kratos
"What is going on here" asked Lloyd
"The only way to reunite the world is with the Eternal Sword" said Kratos
"Only those who have a pact with Origin may wield the Eternal Sword" he said
"I am Origin's seal" he proclaimed
"You must defeat me for me to release the seal" he said
"I understand" said Lloyd
They both released their wings and drew their swords. They both charged forward and met in a clash. They kept meeting in a clash until they broke apart from each other.
"This is getting me nowhere" thought Lloyd
"Judgment" said Lloyd
Kratos' eyes widen as he saw Lloyd's swords start to glow white. "He channeled the spell's power into his swords" thought Kratos shocked
They both charged forward and there was a flash of white light. When it cleared they were opposite to each other. "You have truly surpassed me" said Kratos
His sword and shield shattered and he fell to one knee. "I will now release the seal" said Kratos
He slowly got up and walked to the shrine.
Lloyd's eyes widen as he felt Kratos release all of his mana. "DAD" yelled Lloyd running up to him
"It is done" said Kratos as he fell back
Only to be caught by Yuan who gave Kratos some of his mana. "Why did you do that" cried Lloyd
"It was the only way to release the seal" said Kratos
"Lloyd, after you make the pact go to Dirk's" he said
"He will have something you will need to obtain the Eternal Sword" he said
"I will dad" said Lloyd
Kratos smiled before he fell unconscious. "I will take care of him" said Yuan
Lloyd nodded his head and he walked up to the shrine. Origin appeared over it and said "Lloyd Irving Aurion"
"I have watched you grow up and know you are the one to fix all the problems of the world" he said
"Are you ready" he asked
"Yes" said Lloyd determined
"Then prepare yourself" said Origin as a sword appeared in each of his four hands
Lloyd brought out his swords and wings and they both charged at each other. Lloyd was hard pressed to keep up with all four of Origin's swords but was able to do it. When they broke apart Lloyd was breathing heavily.
"Come now Lloyd Irving Aurion" said Origin
"Show me your true power" he shouted
"Alright" said Lloyd
He took a deep breath and released it before saying "Divine Judgment"
His swords started glowing a blinding white as both Lloyd and Origin charged at each other. There was a flash of blinding white light that caused everyone to close their eyes. When they opened them they saw both Lloyd and Origin lying on the ground.
Colette wanted to run up to Lloyd but knew she couldn't yet.
Lloyd struggled to get to one knee and had to use one of his swords to support himself. Origin's body disappeared and reappeared above his shrine.
"You have defeated me" said Origin
"State your vow" he said
"I vow to reunite the world, replant the Giant Kharlan Tree, and find a way to end discrimination against all races" said Lloyd
"I accept" said Origin
"My power is now yours" he said
"Use it well" he said
Lloyd nodded before he fell unconscious.
"LLOYD" yelled Colette running up to him
"Do not worry, your mate is fine" said Origin
Colette blushed at being called that.
"He is just unconscious" said Origin
Colette nodded her head and picked up Lloyd before flying off.
A few days later Lloyd woke up with a groan. "Lloyd your awake" shouted Colette
"I was so worried about you" she cried
She hugged him and buried her head in his shoulder. "I'm sorry for worrying you Colette" said Lloyd hugging her and rubbing her back
"Where are we" he asked
"We are still in Heimdall" said Colette
"The Elder gave us a room to stay in until you woke up" she said
Colette let go of Lloyd and allowed him to get up and stretch. "Let's go finish this" said Lloyd holding out his hand
"Yes" said Colette taking his hand
They flew towards the Renegade's Tethealla Base and crossed over to Sylvarant. They flew towards Dirk's house and landed near his front door. Lloyd knocked on the door and Dirk answered it asking "Yes"
"My dad said you have something made for me" said Lloyd
"Ah yes, be right back" said Dirk
He went into his house and came back with a ring. "Here you go" said Dirk holding it out
"Thank you" said Lloyd taking it
"Why do I need this" thought Lloyd
"Because when Mithos had me create the Eternal Sword, it was made so only half-elves can wield it" said Origin
"That ring will allow you to wield the Eternal Sword without having Elven blood" he said
Lloyd nodded his head and put the ring on.
Both Lloyd and Colette then took off and flew towards the Tower of Salvation. They landed inside the seal room and Lloyd walked up to the Eternal Sword.
He grabbed the sword and pulled it out and held it up. It disappeared into two lights that went into his swords Flamberge and Vorpal. He took them out and combined them to form the Eternal Sword. He then flew out of the seal room followed by Colette.
"Ready Colette" asked Lloyd
Colette nodded her head and placed her hands on top of Lloyd's.
"What is your wish pact maker and mate" asked Origin
"Get rid of the Tower of Salvation, reunite the worlds, and germinate the Great Seed with the mana from Derris Kharlan" said Lloyd
"It shall be done" said Origin
The Tower of Salvation disappeared in a flash of light revealing Derris Kharlan to the world.
"That's Derris Kharlan" asked Colette in awe
"Yes" said Lloyd
"One of the jobs of the Tower of Salvation was to hide Derris Kharlan from the world" he said
The ground started shaking as the worlds of Sylvarant and Tethealla joined together as one planet once more.
A stream of mana came down from Derris Kharlan and entered the Holy Ground of Kharlan. The ground started glowing as a small sprout came out of the ground.
Lloyd separated the Eternal Sword into Flamberge and Vorpal and put them away as they landed on the ground near the sprout. Lloyd looked around and was shocked at what he saw. "Martel" said Lloyd shocked
"I am not fully Martel" said Martel
"She is one of the many spirits inside me" she said
"This is just the form I decided to take as the new spirit of the New Tree" she said
A vision of the sprout growing into a giant tree was shown to Lloyd and Colette. "Wow, it's huge" said Colette
"This is what the tree will eventually grow to look like" said Martel
The vision disappeared showing the sprout once again. "But as it is now, it is still weak and could wither and die" said Martel
"We won't let that happen" said Lloyd
"We will protect the tree with our lives" he said determined
"Yes we will" said Colette nodding her head
"Then I leave the protection of the Tree to you" said Martel
She then disappeared.
"Let's go home Colette" said Lloyd holding out his hand
"Yes" said Colette taking Lloyd's hand
They both spread their wings and took off flying home.
THE END
