Pokefanatic: All right guys. Let's get into position.
(Lloyd and the others get into their positions and prepare for the Fanfic.)
Pokefanatic: Okay, here we go. Lights, Keyboard, and Action!!!
Chapter 4
Of Flying Chickens and Angels
(The group was teleported to the top floor, where they found an altar with a small round jewel in the middle.)
Ed: Oh goody, goody, a jawbreaker.
Genis: No, Ed that's the Cruxis Crystal.
Ed: Is that a new flavor?
Lloyd: Ed, don't touch that thing.
Ed: (sadly) Okay.
(Suddenly there is a bright flash and an angel starts hovering down.)
Ed: Oh look Double-D, a flying chicken!!
Edd: I believe that's an angel Ed.
Kratos: Correct, I would assume he is here to give the oracle to Colette.
Angel: Chosen of Mana, I Lord Remiel have come to give you the oracle.
Colette: Yes, my lord.
Ed: The flying chicken can talk. He must be a magical flying chicken.
Lloyd: Ed, shut up already!!!!
(As they watch the ritual, the Cruxis Crystal attaches itself to Colette's chest.)
Remiel: We of Cruxis bless this event, and bestow the Tower of Salvation upon Sylvarant.
(The group looks outside the small window and sees a tall massive tower that reaches up to the heavens.)
Edd: Good lord, that is huge.
Ed: I'm stumped!! Hahaha!!!
Remiel: Chosen One, you must releases the seals that protect the tower and climb the tower itself.
Colette: I humbly accept this task.
Remiel: Very good. First head south to the seal of Fire. Offer your prayers in that distant land.
Colette: I shall obey.
(Remiel starts to fly away.)
Colette: Wait, please wait. Are you my father?
Remiel: First head to the seal, Colette…my daughter.
Colette: Then you are…
(Remiel flies away and disappears in a flash of light.)
Ed: So Colette's the daughter of a chicken??
Edd: No Ed, she's the daughter of an angel.
Ed: …Do you smell buttered toast?
Edd: I should've known better.
Lloyd: Well, know what?
Kratos: We need to make preparations for the Chosen's journey. Let's head back to the village. Me, the Chosen, Danny, and Nazz are going on ahead.
Danny: See you guys.
Edd: You can't leave, you're the only one who knows about this world.
(Danny suddenly places a hand over Double-D's mouth.)
Kratos: What did he mean by that.
Danny: Umm…..He's not used to the world being low on mana.
Kratos: Oh, I see.
Danny: (whispering) We can't reveal the fact that we are from another world in the future. Don't worry we will meet again.
Edd: Right, sorry. I'll be more careful.
Kratos: Danny, we are leaving.
Danny: Coming.
(Danny, Kratos, Nazz, and Colette head out and back towards Iselia village, leaving Lloyd, Genis, Ed, and Double-D alone in the temple.)
Genis: Let's head back to the village.
Edd: Good idea, we can rest up and plan our next move.
Lloyd: Ed, Double-D follow us.
Ed: Follow the leader!!!!
(So Ed, Edd, Lloyd, and Genis start to head out of the temple, but run into Raine on the way.)
Raine: Marvelous, simply marvelous, the structure of this temple is simply amazing. I must research it further.
Ed: Hello Miss Raine, what brings you here.
Raine: Genis, Lloyd what are you doing here?!!
Lloyd: Oh hi Professsor, we were just ummm…..
Raine: You were just disobeying my orders, now come here and accept your punishment.
Lloyd: (Glares at Ed.) Way to go stupid.
Ed: Am I in trouble now.
Genis: Well Ed, to put it simply…YES!!!
(Raine reaches Genis and gives him a hard spanking, and then she reaches the others and delivers a hard kick into their chests, which sends them flying and crashing into a wall.)
Raine: Now if you have learned your lesson, then head back to the village. There will be no more class today, because I have received special permission to explore this temple.
(Raine then walks off.)
Edd: Punishment can be so painful.
Genis: I wont be sitting for a while.
Lloyd: I can't feel my stomach.
Ed: I don't have any feeling at all.
Lloyd: Lucky you Ed.,
(After resting for a while, the group heads back to Iselia Village.)
Lloyd: I think I'm going to head back home.
Genis: Lloyd, will you take me with you, at least part of the way?
Lloyd: Okay, I guess.
Edd: Can me and Ed come.
Genis: Sure, but before we head back, I need to get something from my house.
Lloyd: Okay, let's go.
(So they head to Genis's house and walk inside.)
Genis: Ah, here we go.
(Genis picks up a loaf of bread from the table.)
Lloyd: What's that for Genis?
Genis: For sandwiches, after all we need to keep our strength up.
Edd: Very well said Genis.
Ed: Oh goody, I can make my special belly button lint sandwiches.
Everyone except Ed: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww, gross.
(Ed reaches inside his belly button and pulls out some lint from his belly button.)
Ed: Come on try some.
Lloyd: Genis, let's go.
(Lloyd and Genis quickly walk out the door.)
Edd: Don't you leave me here.
(Edd follows Lloyd and Genis, and Ed follows shortly behind eating his lint ball.)
Lloyd: We have to go through the Iselia Forest to reach my house.
(So the group leaves Iselia Village and heads toward the forest. They follow the forest until the reach a fork in the road.)
Genis: This is my stop.
Lloyd: But that way leads to the Human Ranch.
Genis: I know it's forbidden, but there is someone I've got to tell about the oracle.
Lloyd: Well we're going with you.
Edd: Now wait a minute, I refuse to go and break rules.
Lloyd: Fine, when Genis's friend asks, I'll tell him that you were to busy to see him. Don't worry about it.
(Lloyd, Genis, and Ed head towards the Human Ranch.)
Edd: The old guilt route huh Lloyd?…Works every time.
(Double-D follows the others towards the Human Ranch. Once there they encounter an old woman on the other side of the barbed wire fence.)
Genis: Marble!!!
Marble: Genis, are these your friends?
Lloyd: Yes, I'm Lloyd, this is Double-D, and the tall one is Ed.
Marble: A pleasure to meet you all.
Genis: Marble did you see it, the Tower of Salvation?
Marble: Yes, that means the Chosen's journey will begin soon.
(Double-D then notices a small jewel on Marble's hand.)
Edd: Marble, what is that on your hand?
Lloyd: Oh, that is called an Exsphere, it increases your strength when you equip it, I should know, because I have one too, and so did Kratos and Danny, but Marble's doesn't have a Key Crest.
Marble: Oh, so that's what this is called, they put this on me when I came here.
Lloyd: But attaching an Exsphere without a Key Crest supposedly makes you sick, but ironically it is useless unless you equip it. Inhibitor ore is refined and a charm is carved into it and used as a mount for the Exsphere, that is a Key Crest.
Edd: Interesting.
Genis: Lloyd, the Key Crest process is a dwarven technique right, can't you make your father, Dirk forge one for us.
Lloyd: But if Dirk finds out I came to the Human Ranch, he's going to kill me.
Genis: Lloyd, please!!!
Lloyd: All right, all right, I'll see what I can do.
Marble: Please, don't trouble yourself.
Desian Soldier 1: Hey, what the hell are you doing woman!!
Marble: Oh no, quickly run away.
Lloyd: Okay, sorry.
Marble: Don't worry, hide.
(Lloyd, Genis, Ed, and Double-D duck behind a rock.)
Desian Soldier 1: What are you doing over here?!!
Marble: I was just…
Desian Soldier 2: I don't like your tone of voice, woman.
Marble: Please, I just…
Desian Soldier 1: Looks like someone needs an attitude adjustment. Let's take her to the back and teach her a lesson.
(The Desian Soldiers drag Marble towards the back.)
Edd: This is not good.
Genis: We have to do something.
Lloyd: Damn it, what can we do? Suggestions anyone.
Ed: I forget what we're doing.
(Buzzer sounds.)
Will Lloyd and the others come up with a plan? What fate awaits Marble? Will Ed ever stop acting stupid? (Not likely) Find out next time.
Pokefanatic: Okay everyone, that's a wrap. We're taking the next two weeks off for Christmas and New Year's, I'll resume writing once my Christmas Break is over. See you next year.
Edd: Merry Christmas everyone.
Johnny: Feliz Navidad.
Lloyd, Colette, Genis, Kratos, Danny, and Raine: Happy New Year.
Everyone else: Enjoy the holidays.
Ed: And don't forget, Santa Claus is coming to town. I love you Santa. Hahahaha!!!!!
(Everyone gathers there stuff and leaves.)
