Betrayal

Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I do not own ToS.

Yuma's P.O.V

I don't know why I'm helping Lloyd and the two angels. It's just that I'm afraid Master Genis would do something horrible to them like executing them. When we were at the dungeon and when I told them that I'm gonna help them escape, I could see that they are shocked. I wanted to tell them why I want to help them but before I could, Master Genis called me. I think I'm gonna tell them when I rescue them. After that, we walked to Master Genis's room.

"Master Genis, can I ask you a question?" I asked.

"Sure, what is it?" he said.

"If that Lloyd boy and those two angels use to be your friend, then who are your friends now?" I asked.

It took Master Genis a while to answer. I guess he didn't like that question.

"Please forgive me Master Genis." I said while bowing.

"No, it's ok." he replied.

I looked up to see him smiling at me.

"You're my friend right now and since we are friends, we have to keep this promise. The promise is that friends never betray each other so we shouldn't betray each other." he said.

Those words have touched my heart. Master Genis thinks of me as his friend. I have been a servant for 3 years and he's the only one who has ever treated me as a friend.

"Thank you Master Genis." I said.

"Just don't forget the promise." he said.

The promise! Never betray each other. But, I promised Lloyd and the other two that I free them tonight! That means that I'm betraying Master Genis! What am I gonna do?

"Are you ok Yuma?" asked Master Genis. "You look like you just seen a ghost."

"I'm ok Master Genis. Isn't it time to destroy the village?" I said.

"You're right Yuma. I got to go." he replied.

As I watch Master Genis leave his room, I thought to myself:

"What am I gonna do? I can't betray Master Genis after everything he said to me."

"Oh and Yuma," Master Genis said. "Here's a list of what I want you to do while I'm gone."

He walked towards me and handed me a sheet of paper. I opened it and a key fell out of the note. After that, I bent down and picked up the key. I read the note and one of the jobs shocked me. It said:

"Free Lloyd, try not to get caught and don't tell them I want you to free them."

When I looked up, I could see that he already left. I felt that it's ok to free them since I got permission but how am I going to save them without being caught? Just then, an idea came up. I ran out of Master Genis's room and headed towards the dungeon. When I got there, I looked for a guard and when I found one, I walked towards him and said firmly:

"I have permission from Master Genis saying that you hand me the weapons that belongs to the three angels."

He stared at me and asked:

"What does Master Genis want with the weapons?"

"He said that you give me the weapons so he can dispose them after his mission." I said.

"Give Master Genis the message that we will destroy the weapons for him." he replied.

"He said he wants to destroy them personally." I screamed.

"Just tell him we will do it for him." he yelled back.

"Do you want to disobey Master Genis?" I asked.

He didn't reply but afterwards, he sighed and finally gave up. He walked towards the safe where he keeps the weapon and unlocked it. He grabbed the weapons and handed them to me. I left happily towards the cell that contains Lloyd and the two angels. They saw me and walked towards me.

"Yuma! You came after all!" said Lloyd.

"Yep, and I'm here to free you all." I replied.

I handed the weapons to each of them and got the keys. Then I heard footsteps behind me. I turned around to see the guard I was talking to earlier.

"What in the name of Martel are you doing?" he asked.

"Talking to them and asking them something." I said nervously.

"Yeah right kiddo, time to take you to Lord Jean." he said.

I was waiting for the blow from his attack but it never came. I opened my eyes and saw Lloyd's sword through his body. The guard fell and Lloyd removed the sword from the guard. I quickly opened the door and all three of them came out.

"Let's get out of here!" cried Colette.

"I know but how?" asked Kratos.

"I know a way out. Follow me." I said as I pointed at a wall.

"A wall, your escape route is a wall?" Lloyd asked.

All of us sweat dropped.

"No you dolt! There's a loose brick there so when I press it, some of the bricks will move so we can get out and apparently, no guards roam at that area." I yelled.

"Ok, try not to be so loud Yuma or the guards would find us." Lloyd said.

"Fine but we still have to be quiet because Master Genis is close since he's destroying a village right now." I said.

"A village, which village?" Colette asked.

"The village where he was refused when he was traveling with you, I think it's called Heimdall." I replied.

"He was born there, why would he destroy it?" Colette asked.

"I don't know but we have to hurry," Kratos replied.

I walked towards the wall and pushed on one of the bricks and when it replaced itself, other bricks started to move and after it's done moving, there was a big hole, big enough so that we can get out.

"Let's get out of here." Colette said.

"Wait, but when we escape, how are we gonna find the others?" Lloyd asked.

"Let's get out of here first and we can talk about it later." Kratos said.

"Just go then. You three can follow this road and it will lead you out of here. I have to stay because Master Genis will be waiting for me when he's done. Don't try to fight Master Genis or you three will be captured again and don't fly because we have guards on top of this ranch. Just walk." I explained.

"Ok, thanks again Yuma." Colette said.

"Your welcome, but you better move now! Hurry!" I whispered.

As I watch the three angels leave, I thought to myself:

"What if Lord Jean know what we are doing?"

I stepped back into the ranch and the wall fixed itself. I walked towards Master Genis's room. When I got there, I could see Master Genis already there. When I closed the door, he turned around and smiled at me.

"Did you complete your task I assigned you?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Good." was Master Genis's only reply.

"Master Genis, if you are their enemy, why did you want to save them?" I asked.

Master Genis just signed, shook his head, turned around and smiled at me.

"There's no reason for that. It's just that I want to."

"But-!" I was cut off by a knock on a door.

"Who is it?" Master Genis replied.

"I have come for the boy, Master Genis. Lord Jean wants him." the soldier said.

I gasped. "Why did Lord Jean want me?" I thought. "Did she find out that I rescued Lloyd and the other two?"

"Please tell Lord Jean what is so important that she need Yuma. I need him to do other chorus." said Master Genis.

"I'm sorry Master Genis, Lord Jean didn't tell me what she the boy for but she just needed him." said the soldier while he's still outside the door.

"I will accompany him." said Master Genis.

"As you wish Master Genis." he said.

Both of us stepped out of his room and walked with the solider to Lord Jean's throne room. While walking to our destination, the soldier kept staring down at my every minute. I got worried and thought:

"Wait a minute! How've come I seen this soldier before? Somewhere, but where?"

"We are here Master Genis." said the soldier.

I walked towards the door and opened it for Master Genis. Well, it's still my job as a servant. We walked inside and say Lord Jean sitting on her throne and she looked really unhappy.

"I thought I told you that I only wanted to see the boy?!" Lord Jean yelled.

"I'm sorry, but it's my duty that I obey both Lord Jean and Master Genis." the soldier said.

"Very well. Grab the boy!" Lord Jean cried.

I felt two tight hands around my arms and when I turned around, I saw the soldier chuckling while holding onto me.

"Do I look familiar?" he asked while taking off his helmet.

"Now you do. You are the soldier who was stabbed by Lloyd's sword." I said.

"That is correct. You little friend might have gone lucky but won't be." he said as he took out his sword.

I was ready to feel the blow but before it hit me, the sirens in the ranch started to sound so the solider stopped.

"Intruders alert! Intruders alert!" said another soldier that just came in the throne room. "The Chosen and her group of followers have entered the ranch!"

"What?!" cried Lord Jean.

"Lloyd! I wonder what he wants." I thought.

"Get the soldiers on patrol! I don't want anybody in this room!" yelled Lord Jean.

"Maybe it's a bit too late for that."

I turned around to see Lloyd, the two angels and another girl with pink hair.

"Lloyd!" I cried.

"Sonic Thrust!" yelled Lloyd as he ran towards the soldier and stabbed the soldier that was holding me. The soldier died and fell on the ground while I landed on the floor.

"So, you are the Lloyd boy who holds the exsphere that's apart of the project that Kvar is talking about." said Lord Jean. "Interesting."

Afterwards, Master Genis ran towards me and kneel down beside me.

"Yuma! Are you alright?" Master Genis asked.

"I'm fine Master Genis." I replied.

"Yuma!" cried Lloyd and the two angels.

"Lloyd, how will you feel if one of your teammates fought you?" asked Lord Jean.

"Depending on who it is." said Lloyd.

"Genis! Get rid of the intruders!" Lord Jean yelled.

"I'm not your slave anymore Jean." said Master Genis as he got up.

"You dare disobey me?" Lord Jean cried.

"I don't care if Raine is dead or not even though she is special to me. I know that I have to live and take care of myself so that's why I told Yuma to rescue Lloyd, Colette and Kratos." Master Genis said while staring at her.

"Well, too bad. You have no choice now but to help me defeat the intruders." Lord Jean pointed her finger over a Master Genis. A stream of black light struck him and he began to fall again. Master Genis clutched his chest and began to breathe hard.

"Genis!" cried Lloyd.

"Master Genis!" I said in a quivering voice.

Master Genis got up and didn't look at anyone. When he lifted his head, I could see him. He no longer has the caring face he once have but was now replaced by a cruel smile, and the blue eyes that normally showed his level-headedness, now remained like stone, cold and blank. I knew that Lord Jean planted a dark seed inside of him so she can turn her evil and fight against us.

"This might be the end of us."
