------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raine steered her Rheiard slightly to the left and landed very smoothly on the island of the Otherworldly Gate. The spectacle was not what she wanted to see. Kratos lay on the field, barely able to pull himself up into a crouching position, his life's blood flowing away. Blaret, on the other hand, seemed strong enough to lift the Tower of Salvation, or just about anything he desired. She ran towards the fallen warrior and knelt down next to him, grabbing for her staff and a pineapple gel.

"Raine!" Kratos said angrily. "Dammit Raine, I told you to get away from here!" He grabbed his wound and coughed out more blood.

"Hold still!" Raine ordered. She held up her staff to the blue sky and cried, "Healing Circle!" A magical circle surrounded the two and a bright blue light swirled around them. Kratos was astounded. Something was different...No, this wasn't the Raine from before...she was...so strong, somehow...

"Blaret!" She raged. "How dare you! How dare you hurt him!"

Amazing...She doesn't even think about herself at a time like this...

Kratos smirked inwardly. What power...

"Heh...Have you come to give me your money, or you body again, woman?" Blaret grinned maliciously. He slung some kunais at her. "No matter, this time, I won't let you leave alive!" Raine blocked the onslaught with a magical barrier.

"Force Field!" She screamed as a green light surrounded her and the kunais fell uselessly to the ground. She cast another spell. "Ray!"

"Damn you, you wench!" Blaret groaned through the light attacks. He barged out of the attack and hurled his sword at Raine's heart. The mage wasn't quick enough, it was going to hit her...

The sword clashed with another of its kind, and before it could strike Raine, also fell to the dirt with a 'clink'. The impact sent Raine flying back, she was going to fall into the sea...

Flashback

"Mother, why are we on this ship?" Raine asked Virginia. "Why are people chasing us?" She tugged on the elven woman's cloak. "Mommy, tell me why?"

"Hush, Raine," Virginia said coaxingly. "You'll wake Genis." In her arms was a newborn baby, Genis, a tuft of silver hair and a small nose visible underneath the blankets. The elf cradled the baby and cooed softly. "We're on this ship, Raine, because people are angry at us."

"Oh," Raine said. The child sat quietly in a corner and pondered the thought until thunder rumbled in the distance. "Mommy!"

Waves rocked the small vessel violently, like a giant tossing a toy up in the air.

Virginia grabbed Raine and cooped her underneath her, like a hen guarding her eggs.
"Raine, are you alright?" she asked, alarmed.

"Yes, Mother," Raine said quietly, shivering.

There was a huge crash as the approaching ship shot a gigantic burst of magic at them, and the waves chose the time to hit the boat as well. Virginia lost her footing and staggered backwards as Raine was sent into the door, which, with her wieght, sent her flying out onto the deck. The young half-elf scrambled to grab onto the railing, but a sudden lurching made her lose her grasp and she went tumbling into the sea.

"Raine!!" Virginia screamed. Tucking a wailing Genis safely away, she ran to the deck and tried to save her daughter.

Raine screeched as she made contact with the water. It was painfully cold, due to the wintery weather, and the current was strong. She was swept from side to side, unable to stay afloat for long...She was going to drown...

She blacked out.

End Flashback

From what she could see as the mage was still airborn, was that Kratos had been the one who deflected the sword, and then thrust it into Blaret. The villain screamed as he started to disappear, little by little, into thin air.

"Damn you Kratos, damn you Raine!" Blaret moaned in agony as the last bit of him disappeared in a bright light.

Raine smiled as she hit the waters and was instantly submerged. He was finally gone for good...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sheena panted as she struggled to catch up with her friends. Damn they were walking way too fast! Exire was pretty high up anyway. She felt light-headed and dizzy...

"Yo, my sweet hunny, are you flirting back there? Hurry up and catch up!" Zelos said impatiently, waving his hand casually behind his head.

Regal sighed. Kids...

Sheena scowled. What an ass! As if he didn't flirt with every woman he came across...like the half-elf right now! She jogged up to the two and panted, "Can't we take a break?"

"Yes, let's, you're just flirting with the women now, and we've already been through this city about three times." Regal agreed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Argh I HATE THIS PLACE!" Genis screamed angrily. "We can't even tell where we're going!" (A:N/ Even I, who finished the game like 12 times, still can't go through the forest without running into dead ends, etc...I'M SO PATHETIC!) He stumbled and fell. "Stupid root!"

"Hey, I think I hear voices...Yes, that's the exit!" Colette said excitedly, pointing at a dark path.

"You dope! That's not the exit!" Genis argued. "That's a dark path!"

"Yay, let's get out of here and get something to eat!" Lloyd cheered, running towards the exit.

"...Probability of running into monsters, 99 percent." Presea said darkly. Sure enough, moments later, Lloyd screamed, running back, a monster on his tail.

Genis pulled out his kendama. "Tidal Wave!"

A blue light appeared around them, surrounding the pumpkin monster, and destroyed it.

"Well...anyway," Lloyd panted. "The exit is that way. Only that monster was in the way."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Raine!" Kratos jumped in the frigid waters in pursuit of the half elf woman. She bobbed up and down, sometimes, her head going down underneath the water, seldomly above. At this rate, she was going to drown. Waves tossed the angel away from his goal, but with a rush of adrenaline, he managed to reach Raine and pull her above the surface. She was unconscious. Damn. Not good! Using angel wings, he flew slowly into the air, holding tightly to Raine, and flew back to the Otherworldly Gate.

The two were soaked thouroughly, and he needed to get Raine to a city, quickly. So the Seraphim chose to fly her to Sybak. Gracefully, he rose into the air, and flew swiftly to the city of Scholars.

----AT SYBAK---

"You're awake..." Kratos said softly, brushing his fingers along her forehead. "That's good..."

"Kratos," Raine whispered. "Thank you." She sat up and rubbed her throbbing temples. "Where's Lloyd and the others?"

The angel shrugged. He stood up and opened the drawer next to the bed. "Here, take this," he handed Raine a fairly small, blue pill and a glass of warm water. "It's weak stuff, but it'll help with your recovery." His eyes lingered to the wounds on her arms and some small scratch marks across her face.

Raine took the medicine gratefully. "Thanks," she said in her dulcet voice. In a gulp, she swallowed the pill. Lifting the glass to her lips, she also drained that.

"I don't have any aspirin for that headache, but..." Kratos held her firmly and passed on hand across her forehead. "Maybe that will help?.." Instantly, the headache vanished.

"Thanks," the magic user smiled. "Kratos, I think...I think I may have bitten my tongue. Could you heal that too?" She smiled mischiveously.

"Heh..." In one smooth movement, he closed the distance between them, catching them in a soft and passionate kiss.
