Zyke: :kicks Lloyd in the crotch:

Lloyd: Ow! What the hell was that for!?

Zyke: That was for kicking me!

Lloyd: :kicks Zyke in the crotch:

Zyke: Ow! What the hell was that for!?

Lloyd: That was for kicking me!

Zyke: :kicks Lloyd in the crotch:

Lloyd: Ow! What the hell was that for!?

Zyke: That was for kicking me for kicking you for kicking me for kicking you for kicking me!

Sheena: :sigh: Guess I'll do the disclaimer, Zyke doesn't own Tales of Symphonia or the characters.

Zyke: OW!

Sheena: :sighs again:

Colette stood with a smile on her face. After Lloyd and Sheena discussed their promise, Colette agreed that this was a good idea. Better than sacrificing herself and being a vessel for Martel 5 years ago, she thought. "Sure, I'll help you! I agree that Exspheres are dangerous. The ones without key crests are in danger, and I'm afraid these things are used too much for wars, violence, and... Blood." Colette shivered at the thought of having another war. Colette believed that war was meaningless, to her, it just meant endless slaughter and... Death. Lloyd stood and smiled, "Alright! Now we just have to find the others!"

Colette and Sheena nodded and headed out the inn. "So, where to?" she asked, her smile never disappearing. Lloyd looked back at them with both hands behind his head, "Hmm... I guess we should go get Zelos, then Regal. Then we'll catch up with Raine, Genis, and Presea. They said they were traveling, so I figured we'd probably get them last." Sheena chuckled a bit, "Well that's one of the first time I saw you come up with a plan." Colette smiled and laughed along, "Yeah, Lloyd uses his brain at situations like this." "Hey!" Lloyd said playfully. "Just kidding!" both of the girls said in unison.

The sun burned on the backs of the travelers as they crossed Triet Desert. They all breathed heavily, the desert was so hot... "Tell me... Again... Why we're... Crossing... The Desert...?" Lloyd breathed, trying to say it fast. "Remember? Our... Rheiards... Were destroyed..." Colette was even hot, "How?" Lloyd tried explaining on the way, until finally they reached a lake. They drank until they had enough, they all smiled. Thankful that the desert ended.

"Say Colette... Where'd you get that weapon?" Lloyd asked. Lloyd has been looking her weapon for some time, it looked organic and alive for a weapon. It had an eye in the middle. And it looked creepy.

"Uhm... OH! Yeah. Remember that Bacura whatchamacallit? Well anyway, me and the Professor were examining the pieces. She was crying and complained that you ruined her research. Anyway I found it there. Then..." Colette grew silent at that point. She looked down, not wanting to even talk about it.

Sheena arched a brow, wondering why she stopped, "Then...?" she continued, trying to tell Colette to go on.

"Then... These black monsters started appearing..." Colette muttered, loud enough for them to hear.

That caught Lloyd's attention, he turned back. "Black... Monsters?" Lloyd remembered that they were attacked by a black wolf! And he memorized how strong and quick it was. Not like the other average wolves he fought in the past. "Like... That wolf?"

Colette nodded, "They seemed immune to any regular weapons. Except this one..." she said, holding it up. "I... I think there's more. And these black monsters won't stop coming. I can use my angel spells but they don't work unless I have these in my hands..."

Lloyd seemed confused, "Black... Monsters..." It seemed crazy. He didn't want to believe it, but he didn't have any choice. That monster was there, and none of their attacks worked. The wounds just healed... Lloyd looked down, why were there such monsters. And why are they only vulnerable to Colette's strange weapon? It all seemed so strange. Sheena was thinking the same, and she just shivered at the thought. "What if... It comes again. We won't be able to do anything! And what if they outnumber us? Colette can't fight them on their own!"

Lloyd wished he knew, he wished he had one of those weapons. He wanted to defend Sheena and Colette, but how can he when Colette only has that kind of weapon? And Sheena was right, if the Black Monsters came again and outnumbered us, they'd be in trouble. Lloyd tried to bring up the mood, "Don't worry. Colette has her spell, Judgment! Remember? The light spreads. It can hit all of them." Colette looked down, Lloyd meant well, but that was just a wolf... What if bigger monsters showed up. She won't be able to protect them. A tear rolled down Colette's eye.

They stopped talking for a moment. Not wanting to hear a word of the Black Monsters. Until in front of them, a giant bear showed up. Thankfully it isn't black, Lloyd thought. Lloyd unsheathed his two swords, Sheena got out her cards, and Colette took out her strange weapon. "Let's go!" The bear was purple and had red streaks around it. It was weak, Lloyd had fought these monsters way in the past. The monster though was split in two. The vibrations of an Axe was heard, blood spurred out of the monster's sliced sides. And in front of them was a girl. A girl about Lloyd's age five years ago. They're eyes widened, they haven't seen her for a long time. And were glad that they found them instead of the opposite.

"Presea."

Sheena: You're mean Zyke!

Zyke: What?

Sheena: How come we don't get those weapons!? :fake cries:

Zyke: Uhm... Uhm, you'll get them soon! Don't worry!

Sheena: :hugs Zyke:

Lloyd: HEY! Get off my girl!

Sheena: :snickers: Gotta go now! :pecks Zyke on the cheek:

Zyke: !! :flushes:

Lloyd: :punches Zyke square in the eye: That'll teach you!

Zyke: Ow.
