Chapter 3: A Missing Pair of Pointy Ears

Genis got up, disoriented. Whaa...? Hunnies? Ruins? Kendama? Presea? Suddenly... DAMMIT!

Genis sulked during the whole trip to Meltokio. Blah. It's all Lloyd and Zelos' fault. In some way I'll definitely realize later. His sulking, however, didn't attract the notice of anyone, except when he was so preoccupied his Rheiard (sp) almost mowed into Lloyd's. "Gosh, you almost got me killed! I was flying a safe distance behind you! Why did you stop?" Genis yelled, only to realize he was talking to an empty Rheiard. The others had dismounted and left around twenty seconds ago. "Oh monkey," he muttered as he hurriedly dismounted and ran in search of them.

"Here we are! Meltokio!" Zelos flung his hands in the air, accidentally knocking Regal into a window. "I can see my wonderful hunnies again!" Sheena glared at him. Idiot Chosen. I hate this place. Everyone else was relatively happy, though.

Raine saw herself as the chief matriarch of the group, therefore giving herself total command over all the other group members, even Kratos. ("Hey!" said Regal.") "Okay, seeing as there's nothin much of importance here, let's split and do whatever we want. Let's meet here at five so we can go get some dinner. And Lloyd, Colette, Zelos, don't spoil your appetite with candy."

"I'm not a baby anymore!" Zelos pouted. "Oh yes you are." After a small scuffle, everyone started to mosey off, in whatever direction they wanted to go. However, because of this, no-one noticed the absence of a certain genius.

"Darn, where's everyone? I swear they were only gone for a minute!" Genis walked around, peering over people and standing on his tiptoes. "Darn it! I'm too short! I've got to find higher ground. I'll definitely see Zelos from a roof or something. Hmm... hey! Watch where you're going!" Genis had bumped into a Katz. "Oh, no..."

"Meow! Are you meowintrested in buying this nice meow toy, little meow squirt?" The Katz was holding a small cow, something Lloyd would probably go for, but ridiculed Genis' intelligence. Still unhappy, Genis rudely shoved the Katz, muttering, "No money."

"Meow! I should have seen! Your allowance money taken meow away from your mommy for being a meow bad little boy? Meow! What're you doing?"

"You sure about this, Zelos?"

"Of course! When I go hunny-hunting, I always come prepared, bud!" He handed Lloyd a small pair of binoculars. "I'll head over to the Library rood. Signal me if you see any hot chicks. He jumped from roof to roof gaily, eventually slipping and disappearing from view.

Lloyd looked at the device, interested. He put it to his eyes. "All I see is a huge black patch..."

"What do you mean, you're full?"

Raine was arguing with a ticket manager for a ticket to the Ruins right outside Meltokio. "Ma'am, the sign outside the ruins clearly say that we only sell two-hundred tickets every week. I'm very sorry, you should have called in advance, if you're so eager..." Uh-oh, Kratos thought. The professor's in Ruins mode. Better leave. Kratos walked into a shadowed patch, and vanished.

The professor pulled out her staff. "Look at this. The edges of this staff are very pointy, and will hurt if you're smacked rather hard with it by an angry teacher. Are you going to let me in?" The ticket manager looked at the staff. "Hey! That's the Devil's Arm-ptch! owowowowowowowowow..." Raine walked past, ignoring the stares the other people were giving her. "Dear, let's just leave..." said one couple.

The Meltokio Buffet House-

"Oh yes..."

"Sheena, where're you going?" The summoner was exiting the city through one of the secret passages, and Colette had seen her. "I'm leaving. Is that clear?"

"Why?"

"I hate this place. Every time I come here, Zelos is assaulted by those groupies of his.""Why would that bother you? I thought you hated Zelos."

"...?"

"You know, 'idiot chosen,' 'pervert,' smacking him upside the head, and all that."

"..."

"Come on. Lighten up. Colette pulled her away, and walked into a wall."

Sheena sighed. Which Chosen is more idiot?

Zelos groaned. "Ugh.. where am I?" Already a sortie of hunnies had assaulted him, with "Oh Martel! Are you all right?" and "Let me help you up. Everyone move! The Chosen has asked me to help him up!" Apple gels were already being flung in his general direction. Zelos groaned. "Hunnies, hunnies, please..." splat A gel had shattered against his face, the brown liquid streaming onto his shirt. "Who threw that!" yelled a blonde girl. "She did it!"

"Did not!" In the ensuing battle, Zelos escaped.

Genis took out his Kendama. "Wanna charge?" Kracka-Boom! "Ha ha ha..." Unluckily for Genis though, at that moment, Kratos popped up in the shadows under him. splat "Hey, what was that?" Kratos felt his head. "Charred material. Organic matter, 98 charcoal." He ripped off a chunk and smelled it. "Wow, smells... like Katz? Hmm, where would that come from..." Kratos looked up. No one there.

Lloyd struggled with the binoculars. Suddenly, he straightened up. "Ah. I see. Zelos was being tricky, huh? Well, I got him!" He dropped the binoculars to the ground, not noticing they still had their covers on.

Presea had landed from the Rheiard before anyone else did, and had herefore entered the city gates first. However, she had entered combat with an Overbearing Mother before anyone else came down. After a short struggle, the Overbearing Mother knocked her out and dragged her to a school, she looking twelve years old. She was now sitting on a punishment chair, the teacher lecturing her for bringing such a dangerous axe into the classroom. Where is everybody? I wanna go home...

Lloyd had run down from the roof, to see Zelos crawling away from what was best described as a hunny gel fight. "Lloyd... you have to help me!" -ENTER COMBAT! 12 HUNNIES!-
