An Angel's Hopes of Eternity
Chapter 3: Defeating for Revenge
Kratos moved slowly towards Lloyd and said, "Lloyd, please tell me that you are alive. Please."
It was as quiet as a doornail. Everyone looked at how Kratos, Lloyd's father, was so concerned about Lloyd and the matter stays that Kratos did betray them, but did not deserve to receive the punishment that was delivered to him. Sheena and Collette both felt sorry for him because they both like Lloyd and don't want him to be gone forever. They knew, a new journey had started, right there and then.
Raine crouched, and then sat next to Kratos. She said, "Kratos are you alright? If you want to be angry...it's fine with us. You should be mad because of what the Papal Knights did to-"
Kratos interrupted like he never did before. He said, "The Papal Knights! Are those bastards responsible for this? I'm going to rip their heads apart and send them to the fiery tips of HELL! OH MY GO-"
Genis hit Kratos with the kendama. Genis was some-what scared because he knew what Kratos was capable of. Although Genis had some fear of Kratos, he knew what was best for Lloyd, and what Lloyd wanted. As Lloyd's best friend, he knew that Lloyd didn't want them to fight.
Kratos said, "Thank you Genis. No wonder Lloyd chose you to be the next keeper of the Judgment".
Genis became confused. He was more confused then ever. He didn't understand why Kratos called him the keeper of judgment.
Kratos said, "Genis don't worry. It will all come in good time. I want to take on revenge on the Papal Knights. Stay here, just in case if Lloyd wakes up... he will have someone to talk to."
Collette got up furiously, and fast. Not only that, but she was mad. "How can you say that? You might be Lloyd's father, but we are surely his friends. We've been there all the way and were going to fight for Lloyd's sake as well. Whether you like it or not Kratos, we're coming with you. You Got that!"
Kratos said, "I want you to stay here. Lloyd needs you."
Collette said, "And why do you have to fight for Lloyd. We've been with him so long; we can't sit around and do nothing about it. Kratos, if you're going... then we're going. No ifs and or buts!"
Kratos said," Fine. But there is going to be blood everywhere. If you don't like blood, then I suggest that you stay here with the others. Collette, please understand. I know that you care about Lloyd so you may do as you wish. I am Lloyd's father, so I have a responsibility to take revenge for what has happened. Now… let's stop talking and hunt The Papal Knights."
The group got on their rheards and headed for Meltokio. As they arrived, the guards of the city asked, "Who dares come before the royal city and the royal family of Meltokio?"
Kratos asked himself, "Do the customs of all cities in Tethe'alla now ask these pathetic questions?" Kratos asked one of the guards," Do you anything about the whereabouts of the Papal Knights?"
The guards said," The Papal Knights are hiding in the Garaoocha Forest, or also known as the Wretched Forest. We have guards surrounding the forest. Aren't you the Chosen's group?"
Kratos said, "Apparently, one or a couple of the knights escaped, and attacked Lloyd. He is now in Mizuho's care. I have come in words of the villages of Mizuho, Iselia, and Hima."
The group bowed and headed for the Garaoocha Forest. Kratos was having many emotional moments while crossing the Grand Tethe'alla Bridge. Losing his wife Anna from the Angelus Project was one thing he could bear. Now, his son, Lloyd, was in a recovery/coma state. He asked Lloyd something. Something that was more valuable to him than him own life. Not to die, before he did. As they landed in the middle, Kratos mumbled, "Sacred Powers. Cast your purifying light upon these corrupted souls. Rest in peace sinners." Kratos waited and then screamed, "Judgment!"
When they landed, Kratos saw many of the knights dead. He walked over and thrusted all the knights about 12-15 times. He said," Can you feel his pain? The pain Lloyd has suffered? The pain I have suffered? CAN YOU?"
Colette walked by and said, "Kratos its okay."
Kratos turned over and said," Colette, stay out of this".
