Chapter 2 – Frying Pans and Disasters
After arriving back at Arni, Serge went to see his mother, and Joe returned to his home leaving Leena and Locke to themselves. Locke hardly seemed to mind though Leena was still tense around him and hardly seemed to trust him at all.
"Who are you?"
"What?" Locke turned and looked at her slightly confused at the question. "Locke, didn't I already tell you that?"
"First of all Masa and Mune told me your name and second of all I know your name but not who you are!"
"Well aren't you the smart one?" She huffed angrily before placing her hands on her hips causing him a small grin, "Quick to anger too. Ever think of Anger Management?"
Her eyes flashed with rage "You don't know what I am so shut your mouth!"
"Hey, hey, hey!" He said while holding his hands up defensively; his lime green eyes flickering with laughter "Now don't blow your top."
She began to advance upon him and as she did Locke noticed a nice, thick frying pan in her right hand. He used this as incentive to back up as she advanced. "Look lady I didn't mean nothing by it. I-" He was cut off as a something hard clashed against the side of his head causing his head to snap sideways while he stumble slightly "Ow!!! What in Hades was that for!?"
"That was for being a jerk!"
All Locke could do was rub the side of his head where a nice bump was forming from its connection with the cooking appliance and glare at her with his unsettling eyes.
She shivered despite her self. All she could think was, (Freaky eyes…Freaky Eyes…Freaky Eyes…) "Umm…You still didn't answer my question!" She said, her anger returning to her.
He blinked "After you clonk me over the head with a frying pan, You expect me to answer your questions?! You are the worlds most confusing thing I have ever met!"
She was just about to smack him again when a voice came from behind her "Ho, ho, ho! What seems to be the problem here?"
"Oh nothing," Locke replied dryly "She's just trying to kill me with a frying pan."
CLANG!!!
After that sweet sound of contact Leena sneered down at him and stormed off leaving a confused Radius and a dazed Locke behind.

"Mom? Mom I'm home." Serge called out as he entered his simple abode. His steel-tipped boots made small scraping noises on the wooden floor as he walked farther in.
"Serge, Honey, come into your room."
Serge found this request slightly odd but lightly shrugged it off and entered his room to find his mother sitting quietly on his bed, reading a small book with worn tattered pages and leather cover. She looked up from the book and motioned for Serge to sit beside her to which he slowly complied.
"Serge…what do you remember about your father?" Marge felt her eyes burn with tears at the thought of her beloved Husband, Wakizuki.
Serge turned his head and looked at the ground quietly "Not much…" With his mothers question came the few memories of his father when Serge was just a child. Then the hardest one of all…when Crono had told him Wakizuki, his father, was Lynx, FATE, and the cause of so much heartache.
"Here," She said passing him the small worn-out book. "It…it was your fathers before he di-was lost. I…think you should read it."
Serge took the small book in his hands before nodding quietly and looking down at the cover of it. In dusty grey lettering the name 'Wakizuki' could be seen across the front. He began to open it as suddenly the roof was torn from its place upon his house showering him and his mother with shatter pieces of wood. Before either had the chance to even yell out, a gusting wind poured through the opening throwing them off the bed and onto the floor while getting showed by even more broken wood and other things being blown around by the wind.
Recovering quickly from the shock Serge stood up and shoved the book, which he had managed to hold onto, into his pocket before helping his mother to her feet. "Mom I don't know what's going on be get to a safe place!" Before she could say anything to him he was out the door.
Bounding down his front steps Serge stared up at the utter Chaos before him. There were monsters everywhere! Demented and deformed Lagoonates, Wraiths, Lava boy, Lavos spawn-like beings and even completely new things he'd never seen before. There were humungous scaled birds flying around tearing at houses with there claws and even miniature dragons setting houses and people on fire! He had no more time to look around however as one of the deformed Lagoonates lunged at him swiping him across the chest with a clawed fin/hand.
Having fought these things before Serge didn't think much of it. Until he found himself flying through the air then having a large pain in his back after nearly going through a support to his house.
More angered than shocked he flipped the Mastermune from his back and into his hand. Not waiting for another assault he ran forward, avoiding another swipe from the monster and driving the trailing blade of his weapon through the monsters neck, sending dark teal blood everywhere.
Two more lunged at him and he ran at them gouging the forward blade of his swallow into the mid section of the closest one then spun around, tearing the blade from the mid section of the first one and slicing the second in half through it's chest sending chunks of blood and flesh in every direction.
A shrill whistle caught Serge's attention causing him to look up just in time to see Locke disembowel one of the spawn. Suddenly a swift form swooped down upon Locke and landed directly behind him. Serge was surprised to see it was a multiple-green colored dragon, not much different from the fire dragon's second form. He was going to call out to Locke to watch out though after taking down another monster the greenish-blue haired warrior hopped onto the back of the dragon which immediately after took to the sky. A battle cry erupted from the warrior high above as his dragon swooped beside a scaled bird allowing him to jump onto it and drive a sword into its back.
Serge was snapped back to his own situation by a cold hand raking itself across his face. He growled at the wraith and spun the Mastermune twice with lightning speed causing the brain-dead monster to be sliced into three parts before disintegrating into thin air.
After dealing with the wraith Serge looked around only to see he was completely surrounded by dozens of the swarming monsters. With a small smirk he held the Mastermune out in front of him as his eyes flashed a brilliant white and he quickly began to hover off the ground.
* * *
Locke twisted his sword deep into the scaled birds back before prying it backwards, cleaving off a large chuck of scaly flesh causing a brilliant spout of clear blood to shoot forth from the large wound. Nearly getting knocked off the bird from the sudden spout of blood, the greenish-blue haired warrior found some grip and looked around him to find…
"AHH We're goin' down!"
And that he was. He realized he must have cleaved out a chunk of the monsters heart, and mentally smacked himself before letting out a another shrill whistle and jumped from the back of the dead monster and began to fall towards the ground once again. Before he could even come close to the ground though, the green dragon swooped underneath of Locke, allowing him to land on its back.
No words of triumph rolled from his tongue however for as he looked down over the battle field, houses were in flaming ruin, dead bodies, both human and monster, lay dead across the ground and the ones alive were fleeing in terror or fighting for there lives. This however wasn't what caught Locke's attention. What caught his attention was Serge floating high above the ground with holy energy beginning to crackle forth from his body. Even then he would not have minded so much if Leena and Radius were not within 100 yards of Serge.
Cursing out loud, he nodded towards the fighting pair and the dragon descended down towards them as he risked another glance at Serge. Growling, Locke heard the shock waves of light energy began which began to disperse from the young man just as he leaned over and snatched Leena by an arm and swung her onto the dragons back. Looking down he realized his dragon had snatch Radius in its hands.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Ignoring Leena for the time being, Locke patted his dragon on the side of it's neck and urged it on."Good job Drakius! Now go!"
The command was a bit late for Drakius jutted sideways as the force of one of the shockwaves slammed into him, nearly knocking Leena and Locke of his back. Not waiting for another the dragon started a steep upwards ascent, getting slammed by several more shockwaves on his way every time nearly forcing the two of his back and the other from his grasp.
* * *
Feeling his feet touch the ground, Serge looked around at the mass destruction. Houses were either burning or had already been burned down. Bodies of people and monsters scatter over the area giving off the horrid smell of burning flesh and fresh death. What was left of the monsters had fled and as for the surviving villagers he had no idea. Serge didn't even notice the teal and red blood covering his body, the slash across his face or stomach. He just looked out over the destruction with a blank look on his face stuck in a deft stage of dumbfoundment and rage. The only thing able of shaking him from his rage was the green dragon landing several feet from where he stood, as it released Radius.
He looked towards it quietly as Locke and Leena jumped from it's back and all three ran over to him, all besides Locke just as shocked and angered as he was.
"What was that all about?!" Leena shouted, her voice quavering slightly.
"I don't know." Serge said quietly before turning to Locke "But I bet he does…"
