Hey, im back! Sorry its been a little while since ive updated, im getting swamped in homework -- Anyways, ill try to get about 2 chapters a week or so depending on homework, and free time.

Review Responses:

LinkTetra: Yea, I redid the first chapter since it looked like a piece of garbage. Ill be sure to write a lot better than that chapter, trust me.

Rednal: Yea, gald is easy to get in Tehe'alla, but that flashback was when they were 10 year olds. A 50 gald piece meant a lot to younger kids.

Story Weaver: Glad ya liked it

Omakase Shimasu: Your right, I neglected to put them into the story, but they will appear in this chapter. And the next one. And the next one. And the next one. And the next—you get the picture

HarukaKetcham:Thanks for positive words.

Disclaimer: I do not own ToS or Namco, and if I did then Lloyd would wear clothes that were BLUE .

Chapter 3: What does Zelos have to do with it?

"This looks like a decent spot to camp out. Alright, Lloyd and Zelos will put up all the tents. Genis and Presea can go chop wood for the fire, and Sheena Colette and Regal will prepare dinner once the wood is brought back." Raine stated. Everyone just stared for a minute, then quickly ran off to go do the tasks.

Raine decided to take this time to brush up on her light magic. She could remember when she almost lost it a few days ago.....

Flashback (In Raines POV)

Lloyd, Genis, Presea and I were engaged in a fierce battle against the third version of the undead sword spirit. The battle had been going well at first, Lloyd hacking away and performing his Sword Rain Alpha attack; Genis summoning the occasional Indignation; Presea using Devastation; and I using Revitalize when necessary. However soon the spirit started to attack harder, and harder, so I decided to use my light magic. I could feel the warmth of the white circle beneath my feet, as I cast my spell:

"Ray!" It did good damage to it, so I decided to try it again. But this time as I tried to charge my mana, some part of me could not focus.... Before I knew it instead of casting photon there was a gigantic explosion that killed the spirit, but almost killed my whole team, my family I should say.....

Raine had decided not to use her light magic ever since then.

Lloyd was having terrible luck trying to assemble the tents, and our favorite little pervert was doing nothing to help at all.

"Urg.... You know Zelos, you can get up off your ass anytime now" Lloyd grunted as he fumbled with the zipper to the tent door.

"But why, I mean your doing a perfectly fine jonb yourself!"

"Really? Wow Zelos, thanks." Lloyd said as he finished the tents and walked away. Heh my charm works everytime. I really should be thanking the emblem.... No matter, its not like anyone else knows about it. But that shining object that Colette tried to pick off of Lloyd..... it looks somewhat familiar. Could it be......nah, it couldn't be...

Over in the woods, Genis was trying to have a conversation with Presea while she was cutting trees with her Ogre Axe. "Hey Presea, I was just um wondering, have you ever had a b-b-boyfriend??" Genis stammered trying not to blush. "Yes, I have a few boyfriends. Lloyd, you, Regal, and Zelos." Came a semi-monotone voice. She doesn't understand what im saying.. maybe I should.... No, I cant.... But I might get closer to her.... Ahhhh what would Lloyd or Zelos do! Oh wait Zelos would.....

"P-p-presea I mean a boyfriend, like um uh.... This!" With that he her her a very small, very short kiss on the lips, then ran back to camp blushing. "I-I-I-I have never witnessed this kind of emotion before...." Presea was shocked, to say the least. She was not angry, she felt a sort of.... Warm feeling inside of her. But she could not describe what it was.

Genis had brought the firewood, and dropped it off at camp; before quickly running off. "Wow, Genis must have been in a hurry!" Colette said eagerly. "I will make the fire, Go get Sheena and gather the ingredients" Regal stated before putting a small stick in-between his handcuffs, started twirling it at high speeds, and somehow created a fire! Colette had found Sheena in a corner, seeming to be writing in a diary of some sorts. "Ooh whats this?" Colette said as she grabbed the diary and looked at the page. It had said, "I wonder if he will ever realize that I am in love with him, that I really do love—"But before she could read the name Sheena grabbed it out of her hands, her cheeks a red that would have made Lloyds clothes look light in comparison. "W-Whats up Colette?" Sheena nervously asked. "Oh, its time for us to make the curry!" Oh, um ok. Do you mind if I put in Pineapple again?" "Sure, ill catch up to you in a minute alright?"

I hope Sheena wasn't talking about Lloyd.... MY Lloyd......

And that's the end of Chapter 3! I kinda put in some Exciting points in there, and next chapter will reveal how Zelos knows about the second emblem. And next chapter you get to find out what it actually DOES. Yaayyy now review or else I wont post another chappy!
