Colette's P.O.V

After Genis's transformation, I was sure that we could beat her but I never thought that Genis would try to sacrifice himself to destroy her. I was thinking on what to do to save him without him sacrificing himself but it was too late, he cast the spell and flew towards Jean. I could hear Lloyd and the others yelling his name, I too want to yell out his name to stop him, but it was still too late, he crashed into Jean and an explosion appeared between them.

After the explosion, I could see that Jean had disappeared and lying on the floor was Genis.

"Genis!" I cried as I ran towards him.

Raine and the others were also running towards the fallen Genis. Raine was the first one there and she lifted up the hollow body. When I got there, I placed my hand on his head and search for life in his body.

"Colette……is there any sign of life in his body?" asked Lloyd.

"No, I don't" I whispered loud enough so they can hear.

"No, Genis! Don't die!" Raine yelled.

I thought that all was lost, and then I felt something inside of him.

"Wait, I can feel something." I said.

"What, his little body can stand that spell?" asked Zelos.

Again, I could hear Sheena nudging Zelos hard on his arm.

"Colette, is Genis alive?" Lloyd asked me.

"Yeah, I can feel mana in his body." I replied.

"Are you sure?" Presea asked me.

"Yeah, it's increasing by every second." I cried.

"Thank goodness." replied Raine.

"Let's get out of here first, I don't like this place." I said.

"Ok, afterwards we can set up camp." Kratos said.

Lloyd lifted Genis and placed him on his back. We all walked out the base and set up camp near the Ossa Trail. When it's about nighttime, we went to sleep but Raine and me couldn't sleep because we were worried about Genis.

"Professor Sage, did you know something about Genis's transformation?" I asked her.

"No, I didn't know that he could do that." Raine replied.

"I wonder how Genis got that power." Raine whispered.

Her whisper was kinda loud so I heard a little bit of it.

"What power?" I asked Raine.

"Huh? Did I say power, I mean….uh………..something else. I guess I said the wrong thing." chuckled Professor Raine.

"Uh……ok." I replied.

Suddenly, we both heard a noise near Genis. When we look in front of us, we could see Genis getting up.

"Genis!" we cried.

Our cry was loud enough and it woke the others.

"Huh? Is there an enemy attack?" Lloyd asked.

"No you dork, look! Genis is up!" yelled Sheena.

Lloyd rubbed his eyes and stared at Genis.

"Genis? Genis! You're awake!" cried Lloyd as he got up and ran towards Genis and hugged him.

"Ok Lloyd, I'm up." said Genis but quickly laughed.

"What's so funny Genis?" asked Lloyd.

"Lloyd would you mind please put on some pants?" asked Presea.

We could see that Lloyd has only his boxers on and we all laughed.

"Ooops……" he replied as he blushed and ran towards his tent and came out wearing pants.

"Sorry, I guess that I was too excited to notice that I haven't put on my pants." he said.

"Guys, what happened back there?" asked Genis as he got up even we told him not to but he didn't listen.

When Genis got up, we could see that he is about to fall but Lloyd ran towards him and caught him before he hit the floor.

"You better sit down Genis. Your body is still too weak from the spell you used." said Regal.

"Ok, so please explain to me what happened?" asked Genis.

Raine carefully explained what happened at the base and Genis understood everything.

"So let me get this straight, Yuma was is a angel that's like a half-elf and he made a link with me and controlled me and destroyed Jean?" asked Genis.

"Yep, that's most of them." Raine said.

"So, when Genis is up and ready, what should we do now since Jean is gone?" asked Presea.

"Since Jean is gone now, I think that we don't need to worry about an adventure happening and I think that we should go back home and rest after this event." said Zelos.

"And when I get back, I could go on dates with many girls." thought Zelos.

I saw Sheena staring at the chuckling Zelos.

"I wonder what's up with Zelos?" I thought.

"I agree, some of us do what to return to our homes after this event." said Presea.

"Ok, so it's decided. We hop on our Rheahards and head home!" yelled Lloyd as he raised his fist.

There were cheers and agreement in the group. So they all hopped on their Rheahards and departed.

Iselia

When Lloyd, Colette, Kratos, Genis and Raine landed in Iselia, they weren't very welcomed by the people in Iselia since the last event happened. They saw the mayor walking out but to their surprised, an elf-like guard came out with the mayor and he was holding a staff.

"Let the mayor go!" yelled Lloyd.

"Silence! We do the talking here. We need the half-elf Genis Sage to come forth or the mayor gets it!" yelled the guard.

"Why do you need him?" asked Kratos as he stepped out of the group and got ready to take out his sword.

"This boy is dangerous, he's a threat to both world." said the guard.

"Genis is not a threat and why would you say something like that to him?" I asked.

"Because I am a threat my dear Chosen one."

We all turned around to see Genis with his kadama in his hand.

"Wha? What are you talking about Genis?" I asked.

"I am a threat because after the poor little Genis used that spell, he has opened a gate for me to control his body. His body is nothing but an empty shell after the spell so that I can control him and his soul is trapped in a dark, place where it seeks fresh soul like his." said the controlled Genis.

"Just get out of his body!" Lloyd yelled.

"No can do, the only way to get me out of his body is by hurting him and maybe even destroying him." said the controlled Genis.

This, of course, shocked all of us.

"We can't do that to Genis." cried Raine. I could see that her body was shaking with fear of Genis getting hurt and anger about the spirit that controlled Genis.

"Aww is Raine upset because I used her little brother's body for a host?" laughed the spirit inside of Genis.

"Get out of my brothers body you fiend!" yelled Raine.

"Oh, I'm shaking in my boots. What are you gonna do, attack me?" asked the spirit.

That question was answered when the Iselia town's people ran towards the spirit with sticks and pans. And the elf guard called more guards to come. They all ran towards Genis and fell on top of him and then we saw a flash. We saw a spirit floating above the bodies and up into the sky and disappeared. The town's people went off Genis and we could see a body, just lying on the floor.

"Genis!" we all cried and ran towards him.

Just when we were close to him, his body got up by itself and just stands that the spot. We could see that his eyes where blank with no expression.

"Genis?" asked Raine. "Are you alright?"

Genis didn't reply at all and just nodded.

"Shall we go?" Lloyd asked Genis.

But this time, Genis didn't reply him.

"Genis, Lloyd asked if we should go. What do you say?" asked Raine.

This time, Genis looked towards Raine and nodded.

"Does this event look familiar to you guys?" asked Lloyd.

"Yes, It seems that Genis won't listen to anybody but Raine, just like when Colette lost her soul, she only listened to Lloyd." explained Kratos. "And when the transformation happened, Genis lost the will to speak, feel any pain, not able to sleep and lost the will to eat anything."

"So he's like a half elf and also a half angel?" asked Lloyd.

"Yes, so it's seems." answered Kratos.

"So I guess that we have a new mission." I said.

"Yep, to save Genis's soul!"
