Chapter 7- The Snake

Yes, it was another Fight. Legault was getting annoyed by the constant amount of battling they had to do. He hadn't been needed in some of them, but it was foggy and they needed his eyes. He stood just behind the back line relaying messages of what lay ahead to the tactician. Legault didn't much care for this job, he much more enjoyed taking the random possessions of enemies.

"Legault! We're not having a picnic! GET GOING!" The tactician yelled.

"Really? I was really hoping we wer-" Legault started, in his usual sarcastic tone until Saisu smacked him over the head and sent him back into the fry.

"Bossy, bossy, bossy..." Legault complained heading out, telling people of certain dangers they should avoid. Of course Raven, being Raven, runs smack into a horde of horsemen and three people need to be sent off to help him.

"Legault!" The Tactician yelled, like it was his fault.

"He doesn't listen to anyone!" He yelled back. The two of them getting into a cat fight in the middle of the battle field. The enemies stand off waiting for us to kill ourselves.

"I'm betting on the thief..." One bandit said, looking at the fight. We'll call him Joe.

"But that girls got a clip board and a sharp little dagger." The second bandit debated. He shall be Bobby.

"I think they'll end up killing each other..." Answered the third bandit, Kenny shall be his name.

"HAHA!" Yelled Hector, stabbing Kenny in the head. Yah, you gotta be pretty mad to stab someone in the head.

"AAAHHHHARRRRGGG! AaaaaHHHH! Aaaahhhh! That hurt..." Kenny screamed, falling over, fluids squirting about. Joe, Bobby, and even Hector all staring as he died a slow painful death by axe-to-head.

"Oh My god! You killed Kenny!" Yelled Bobby, pointing at Kenny who was still squirting red stuff about.

"You Bastard!" Yelled Joe, pointing at Hector before Hector took his finger off with another axe swing.

"Legault! Get up there! Fight with someone! Steal something! DO SOMETHING!" The tactician yelled.

"Fine, fine!" Legault shrugged, leaving her to go steal from another thief, because he's good like that.

The battle ended soon enough. Isadora and Eliwood went a stabbin' at the leader of the bandits. So yah... it turned out okay. Hector had Kenny stains on his armor, but he was ok enough. Legault ended up almost getting Raven killed, again I may add, because he was busy stealing from another thief. The only reason this took so long was the thief kept stealing back what Legault stole... it was never ending... OK so that was the goings on of the battle.

"Legault! Legault were did you go?" Yelled the tactician. "Isadora, could you please go look for him?" She asked, turning to the Paladin.

"Yes, Lady Tactician." She replied, getting on her horse and riding off to recover the thief.

'dang it! I got lost...again...' Legault thought looking around. There was way to much fog to see anywhere. The only reason he was so far away from everyone was the fact that his pride wouldn't let him give up on that thief. Therefore he ran the stupid guy down, only he ran a bit to far in the process and ended up in the middle of some back ally of town.

"Sir Legault!" Yelled Isadora as she maneuvered her horse threw the fog, almost hitting a building once or maybe even twice.

"Isadora! I'm wherever over here is!" Legault yelled. 'Good, someone came looking for me... I just hope she doesn't run me over...' he thought, looking around again. It seemed abnormally cold out. Nobody else seemed bothered by it but him.

"I can't find you! Sir Legault!" Isadora yelled, spinning her horse around in a circle, which would normally look really funny, but nobody could see so it didn't really matter.

"Take your time!" Legault answered. 'Why is it so cold!' He yelled in his mind. "Follow my voice, Isadora!" He yelled again, now he was getting desperate.

POP!

"Legault?" Isadora asked, getting to were she thought he would be. She jumped off her horse and looked at the ground. She picked up a black piece of cloth off the ground. "Legaults... Head band?" She muttered, looking at it. She looked down and found the rest of his cloths.

'cold... cold... REALLY COLD! Wait! Warmth!' Legault thought crawling his little self along the ground, confused as can be. Isadora bent over and looked threw the cloths.

"Why would Legault...? Oh no... The Zodiac!" Isadora gasped before feeling something crawl up her leg. Her face dropped before she screamed. She quieted herself down and held herself as still as possible. 'What's... in my cloths?' she silently screamed. Her screams had reached the others and Lowen was sent to go see what was going on.

"Lady Isadora? What's wrong?" Lowen asked, he had found a easily because of her constant whimpering.

"S-something... is... in my cloths!" She gasped.

"W-what? I don't t-think I can do anything!" Lowen said, a little shaky.

"Eeep!" Isadora gasped, the snake coming out from the back of her collar. The two Paladin's both stared at the little, light purple snake. Lowen grabbed the snake by the neck.

"I-It's a snake?" Lowen asked, looking at the thing in his hands. The snake seemed to glare at him before freeing itself from his hand.

Isadora practically jumped off the ground. Lowen reached for the snake again only to grab it by the tail. It turned around and bite his hand. His eyes widened, even though you probably couldn't tell, but he didn't do anything.

"Sorry..." The snake said, letting go. It crawled over it the cloths before...

POP!

"AH! Legault!" Lowen yelled.

"I said I was sorry..." Legault said, grabbing his cloths. Nobody said anything until he was done.

"What happened?" Lowen asked, waving his arms.

"I got to cold... and turned into a snake..." Legault answered.

"So your one of the! The!" Isadora gasped.

"Yah zodiac... And the snake of all of them... can't say it doesn't suit me..." Legault said, with a snicker. He didn't seem bothered at all.

"W-Why! Why did you crawl up my dress!" Isadora yelled, grabbing Legault and shaking him back and forth.

"Aaaah!" Legault yelled, now confused and disoriented as can be. Isadora let him go finally.

"Well?"

"oh... my head... Eh?" He said, "Survival instincts my dear! I was cold and you were warm!"

"THAT'S A HORRIBLE EXPLANATION!" Lowen and Isadora yelled, looking ready to kill the purple haired thief.

"Hey, Hey! It's the truth! ... Imagine how confused I felt! I couldn't even see past my own nose." Legault said, backing away a bit. "It wasn't on purpose, that's what I'm getting at... No use getting so flustered!" Legault smirked as he always did.

"hm... fine... I guess... its fine... don't tell anyone though..." Isadora said, blushing a bit as she looked down.

"Oh, of course! Never would I tell anyone of my adventures in your dress...!" Legault said, laughing. Isadora pulling out her sword in that slow, menacing way. "eh...ah! L-Lets get back! Everyone's probably worried!" he added, taking off. The two Paladins following.

"Legault? We we're getting worried! Where are the others?" Lyn asked, as the thief approached.

"Ah my lady! There close behind!" Legault answered. Isadora and Lowen appearing out of the fog.

"What happen-"

"I beg you please, don't ask." Isadora interrupted.

"Just a little brush with that troublesome Zodiac problem we've been having..." Legault said, smiling.

"Legault? Are... you one?" Lyn asked.

"Sadly yes... Check 'The Snake' off your list..."

"Can't... say it doesn't suit you..."

"yes... but of course... perfect match you ask me!"

"Well... how? What... ?"

"I beg you please, don't ask..." Isadora interrupted, clearly angry.

"Oh nothing really... Lets say it caught both off guard..." Legault said.

"He crawled up her dress!" Lowen said, because he can't keep a secret.

"LOWEN!" yelled Isadora. Legault holding back laughter.

"You did what?" Lyn yelled.

"D-Don't give me that look! ... I-Its not like I did it on purpose!" Legault yelled in his defense, backing up.

Soon the camp knew of Legaults condition. However they didn't learn much else. Isadora 'persuaded' Lowen to keep his mouth shut while Lyn and Legault weren't going to say anything of it anyways. Legault was questioned on how the transformation happened and he told them how the cold seemed to trigger it, this set off speculation about Legault "Don't get Hugged" theory. Besides that all ended as well as it could.

Saisu: OMIGOD! I actually finished this chapter! ...wow... yah sorry to all my peeps and fans who have been eagerly awaiting the seventh chapter...
