A/N: Yeah! Another chapter up and done! I've been working on my site, so I really do have a reason for the delay! Don't own LOD! Though I do own a cat, and two horses!

Shana's teeth gritted as she saw the Dragoon Spirit rest in Dilrivan's hands. How dare those stupid dragons! How dare they think they could do that to her!

Screaming she lunged for the Spirit before he could transform. However she was a moment to late. The divine glow lunged forth from his body and sent a powerful magical attack into her and her fellow demons. When she was finally able to escape the brightness the wingly was gone.

"Zackwell..." She hissed cooling her anger.

"Yes?" He asked appearing by her side.

"Get him, and pull out his wings..."

"Herosa? They can't b...."

"Yes they can," She growled back.

"Of course Herosa!" The Demon vanished back into the earth.

Shana's hand twitched, she couldn't wait till she had her hands on that stupid little Sacred Sister. Then she could get Soa back, back for all this hell. Hell on Endiness....

Deven sat on a broken piece of crystal from the lost palace. His sword lying against his knee, and his hair flopping in his eyes. It's was odd how Lloyd had left, he knew the guy was a loner... But? Wouldn't he have told someone?

No, not Lloyd...

"Deven?" Nesha asked looking up from her seat.

"Yeah?"

"Have you seen Dart... He's not here any more, and... well.. he's been gone for almost an hour..." She was fretting terribly from the looks of it.

"No... But an hour Nesha?"

"Well... He just left. I mean... I thought and all but he never came back and... Oh Soa they're going to kill me!" She wound a finger through her hair and started crying.

"No they wont..." Quickly he started to wake the other dragoons. Zieg first and so forth.

"He just got... U-up and left... I didn't think that he'd... He'd..." Nesha began to cry again, the other dragoons looked at Deven.

"How long has he been gone?" Zieg asked.

"Almost an hour, I guess he left just before I got up..." Deven murmured.

"You don't think somethin got him do you?" Meru asked.

"He's the Divine Dragoon Meru, is that even possible? He probably just wondered off to think," Miranda shuffled her feet, the idea of Dart being dead... it was just to much.

"Yeah..." The others murmured.

"We should start looking for him." Albert said bring out a voice of wisdom.

"Nesha which way did he go?"

"South... That way..." She lifted her hand and pointed towards the opening of the valley.

"Wonderful." Rose said.

"Meru, Guaraha if you wouldn't mind?" Zieg said ignoring Rose's comment.

"Sure!" Will only a moment she leapt up into the air and started the search for Dart.

***

It was like one of those horrific dreams in which the dead man comes back to haunt his murder. Then takes his vengeance upon the murder. In the end your pleading him that it wasn't you, that you didn't mean it, that....

"I'm sorry," Lloyd murmured over to Lavits.

"Wha..?"

"It's doesn't account for much, but I am sorry."

"Ok." Lavits said back.

From her sleeping bag Wink smiled. She knew that they could get along! It's might have taken a hell of a lot of convincing on both sides to get Lavits to join them. It might have taken all her nerves to keep from screaming at them. However in the end all good deeds pay off.

Some times a bad thing and a good thing do equal a good thing.

Now, just when she was about ready to give up on them... They gave into her insistent plea of friendship. It might never really get to friendship, considering the past... But one could always hope!

Hope, that's all they had right about now.

"Alright, then... I forgive you." Lavits had stunned even himself in this statement, however if Lloyd was willing to give into the blonde's demands then he might as well to.

Well, that went well, Lloyd thought.

Dilrivan could sense the demons following him even now almost four hours later.

He had originally been stunned at how much power the Divine Dragoon could access. But now it was wearing thin, even with out the armor he could tell that he needed a break. However the real question was where.

Tiberona would be nice... But I'm a bit to far away. Bale is gone, Lohan? No that takes me out of my way. How about.... There are no more towns out here! Crap. Stupid Virage controlling god, can't help but kidnap the important people!!

In the end he was forced to land in Hoax, though there were few people, it would at least give him shelter.

Dilrivan spent the better part of the day looking around the small desolate city. It was strange to him because he had never seen a town made of fire barricades and night watches, and flower shops. Even though it could never compare with Omnia, Hoax had a cute and homely feel about it. As if the people living here, really lived here. The houses were lived in, they had flower beds that had been cared for, and people that had decorated windows and doors.

In Omnia people moved so much... No one ever got this close their homes... Dilrivan mused.

It take to long to find the hotel, however the free room surprised him. "If you don't mind... Why is that?"

The man at the desk sighed, "The world is ending, what's the point of going out rich?"

Dilrivan nodded. However the world might not necessarily end, and if so there was just one more person to kick themselves.

Guaraha landed with a soft thud, "I'm sorry I don't see anyone... It's like he just disappeared."

"Splendid time to disappear." Miranda whispered from behind Zieg.

"Perhaps he was taken back to Omnia, it's not entirely impossible," Albert trailed along.

"Better than being killed by his own stupidity," Rose hissed.

"Don't say such a thing!" Nesha yelled.

"Maybe Meru found him." Guaraha said silencing the fight.

"Yeah," Deven whispered, "Or Shana did."

A/N: Whoo! Another chapter up on this, almost done with the next on DS and working on the Hunt for Striker! We had so many delayed starts this week it not even funny... In any case I tempted to bring Dart back in the end. However if you think that's loony just speak up!
