E.S.. Simeon: "It's time for your flying lessons?"

Art Vincent Musicanova: Kratos is the mature dad peacemaker type. Yuan is probably the older, 16-17 brother, at least in their house. And Mithos is the 10-year old jerk.

Blissey: No comment.

Family of Heroes - Day 2

A Wonderful Life

Yuan woke to an a-clinging and a-clanging downstairs. Argh... He stomped downstairs, grabbed Mithos' collar, pulled the spoon and frying pan from his hands, and went back upstairs.

By the time most of the silverware in the house was messily stacked in Yuan's room, it was time to wake up. But no utensils meant no pancakes. So Kratos made Yuan take them all down again.

During breakfast, Mithos smacked Yuan's butter bat across the room, Yuan smacked Mithos, Kratos yelled at them, then they all went to drink tea.

"You two are so immature sometimes." Kratos and Yuan were outside sparring. Yuan spun dexterously, ducking under Kratos' sword and putting his own to Kratos' neck. "It isn't my fault he's such a little hell ball... so unlike his sister."

"That reminds me. I checked with Altamira, and it should be okay to hold the wedding there. You still need to hurry and make the specific arrangements, though."

"Oh yes, how could I forget? Regal's rich, right? Can't he just lend me some money?"

"I suppose so. However, I do not know the exact condition of his company, but it seems they might be a bit tight on gald. You may need to wait."

"Oh."

"And Yuan?"

"What?"

"Take your sword away from my neck."

"Oh." They began fighting again.

"Hey, Mithos."

"Yeah?"

"sigh... me and Kratos are going to the store. You have the house to yourself."

"Okay."

"Don't accidentally change the locks again."

"Er, okay."

"We're going now. Be good."

"Okay, bye!"

"One last thing."

"Eh?"

"If Lloyd and his groupies come..."

"..."

"...asking about Rheiards..."

"..."

"...don't hesitate to screw them off."

Slam!

"..."

walk, walk, walk. Slam. Screech!

"Ohhhhh yeah!"

"Hello... oh, Miss Sage. Can I talk to Genis?... yeah, Mithos. The angel guy... er... no. I'm not a girl. ... yes, that one. Yes, that one. Sigh... yes, that one. No, I can't be a bad influence if... alright, alright, I promise I won't tell Genis to help me conquer the world. /sigh.../ Hey, Genis? Yeah... got the house to myself. Bring your kendama... yeah, Yuan left his computer out again... and see if you can nab Lloyd's Faerie Ring and Zelos' pimp suit. Yeah, maybe a little target practice... okay, great." Click "Alright, let's get the festivities started!"

Around half an hour later, Genis arrived at Kratos' house. "Hey, Genis. Whoa, you've got your own Rheiard?"

"Well, actually, no. I set fire to the living room rug in Zelos' house, and took it off his hands."

"That's great. What else did you bring?" Genis pulled out a pack. "I brought some gels, some other things, and this as well." He took out a small red block. "Krakatonite. This baby has enough firepower to blow down a large mansion!"

"Oh really? How do you know?"

"I used it to set fire to Zelos' rug."

"Say, where's Kratos and everybody?" Mithos looked up from the cream he was decking the house with. "Oh, they went to the store. That probably means we have a good two hours till they come back."

"Um, why's it take that long to shop?"

"They always try to lose each other, and search for stuff to buy. Yuan looks for pretty nasty stuff for an engaged guy, but I don't know about Kratos. I think he's on drugs."

"...hey, wanna pay them a visit?"

"Sure, why not."

But at this time, Yuan wasn't looking for anything nasty or so. He was looking for something else. Probably a nice piece of jewelry, or a ring, or something. He was walking down the aisle when- "Hey, Yuan!"

"Mithos! What're you doing here! And how did you get here? Oh, and the brat." Genis pouted. "I'm not a brat! I'm the same age as Mithos! Or, I look it."

"I never said he wasn't."

"Good."

"Bad."

"What?"

"Guys, I'm busy here."

"Okay, then tell me the password to your computer."

"I can't do that."

"Oh. Okay, I'll go home and set the couch on fire."

About five minutes later, Yuan was sitting at his laptop typing in his password. "I tell you, no funny business. This computer is very expensive."

"Really? How much?"

"One hundred thousand Gald."

"Mua ha ha ha!"

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

Meanwhile, at Genis' house...

What Raine says: "He's playing at Mithos' house."

What Lloyd hears: "He's at Mithos' house."

What Lloyd says: "He's at Mithos' house."

What Colette hears: "He's somewhere with Mithos."

What Colette says: "He's somewhere with Mithos."

What Presea hears: "He's been captured by Mithos!"

What Presea says: "He's been captured by Mithos!"

What Zelos hears: "The brat's in trouble."

What Zelos says: "The brat's in trouble."

What everyone says: "Oh, no! We have to save him!"

"Say, Mithos. One thing I don't get."

"What?"

"How did Martel come back?"

Flashback

Mithos was kneeling over Martel's body. "No! I failed... Martel is dead..." Kratos walked over. "Mithos. Hurry up."

"How can you say that? My sister is dead!"

"Just life bottle her." Bing!

"Sweet! Welcome back, sis!"

End Flashback

"Don't mention it."

"Um, okay."

Already, our wonderful heroes are rarin' to go and beat the darn hell out of some little half-elven kid. But who doesn't. Racists. Anyways, they got on Rheiards, flew to the remains of the Tower of Salvation, and warped to Derris Kharlan. After making their way through hordes of bouncing skulls, and Lloyd wanting to check every walkway for 'goody boxes,' they reached bam, Derris Kharlan.

"...eh, what?"

And to this day, none of them knew why Derris-Kharlan had seemingly turned into a whore house for bush babies.

Anyways, reaching the god-forsaken hundred-feet piece of land floating around they had first battled Mithos on, ta-da, no-one was there. Because it had been blown up.

"Great, so how do we find Mithos and save our dear companion now?" Lloyd keeled over from the excess use of the long, long word 'companion.'

"He lives in Triet, near Yuan's base."

"...how did you know that?"

"I drove Genis there."

"...wha?"

"Mithos invited Genis to his house, and from what Zelos told me, he was..."

What Zelos says: "The brat's in trouble."

What Raine says he said: "Mithos is torturing and interrogating him."

What Zelos says: "I didn't! Presea said..."

What Presea says: "He's been captured by Mithos!"

What Zelos says she said: "Mithos is keeping him prisoner in his castle."

What Presea says: "I didn't! Colette said..."

What Colette says: "He's somewhere with Mithos."

What Presea says she said: "Mithos is freakin' killin' him!"

What Colette says: "No! Lloyd must have said..."

What Lloyd says: "He's at Mithos' house."

What Colette says he said: "He's somewhere with Mithos."

What Lloyd says: "I didn't! Raine said..."

What Raine says: "He's playing at Mithos' house."

What Lloyd says she said: "Oh, no! Evil incarnate has captured Genis and is forcing him to watch Yu-Gi-Oh!"

What Raine says: "..."

Lloyd scratched his head. "So... Genis is just playing at Mithos' house?"

"Yeah, I guess so."

"And he didn't invite me?"

"Uh..."

"That's too much! I'm after him!" Lloyd drew his sword and started running. Right off the cliff. Raine looked around. "It's your turn to buy the card, Zelos."

Bam! Bam! Bam!

"Sheesh, don't knock so loud... I'm coming!"

Wham! The door flew open, knocking Mithos back a few feet. "Ow! Who's there!" Lloyd ran in. "...Lloyd?"

"Mithos! Jerk! You host a party and don't invite me?"

"It's- wait, it's not a party, it's only Genis and me..."

"Bullshit! This'll show you! Lightning Thrust!"

Ka-zapp!

Mithos tried his best not to die laughing.

Lloyd fell down, thinking "Note to self: Hold wooden end."

Raine and Mithos were talking, Genis was sitting dejected on a bean bag chair, and Lloyd was still lying on the porch. They were debating on whether Mithos was a good friend or not.

"Well, we're afraid since you already killed millions of people, you might be a bad influence on Genis."

"That's ridiculous! Go on the streets and ask 'Have you ever been killed by Mithos?"

"...for a flawed argument, it' s very convincing."

"Thank you."

"...but, I've decided to take Genis home."

Genis stood up. "What! That's not fair!"

"Let's go."

"Come on!" He struggled, causing the krakatonite to fall out. "...Genis..." Genis tried his best to look innocent. But Raine was already so angry her forehead heat set her hair on fire.

BOOM!

"Okay. If this isn't a bad influence, what is?"

"Shut up and help me clean, Lloyd." Raine was peering at the supports. "This house seems to fall down a lot. Someone should fix it." Mithos was also angry at Lloyd. "This house must be extra sensitive to stupid people..."

"What's this?" Everyone turned around.

There stood Kratos, in all the magnificence of... casual clothes.

inserts sounds of fangirls throwing down signs and escaping screaming.

Lloyd drew his sword. "Kratos! What're you doing here?" Kratos looked down, with just a hint of anger in his eyes. "Well, why wouldn't I be here? It's just my bloody house, right?"

"B-but, then why's Mithos here?"

"It doesn't matter. Just clean up this mess, and I'll fix it again." He walked off.

Everyone was very Oo.

"Mithos, does this happen a lot?"

"Sadly, yes."

Raine sure was angry. "That's it. Detention for everyone here!"

"Aww..."

"It's not our fault!"

"My Ultra-Cool Beauty, don't be so mean!"

"Professor, please?" But nothing could please Raine. "No getting away this time! Get acquainted with the toilets, because you'll be getting chummy with them soon."

Lloyd chucked. Genis hit him. "Why are b you /b so happy?" He held something out. "I got Yuan's computer."

Woo hoo, twice as long as any other chapter. Right, I've introduced the... less important Tales characters, and yet another wonderful day goes by. In the next chapter, I'm introducing either Martel of Botta. Guess which it'll be. And what's on Yuan's computer? Not that great of a chapter, so eat me. -MrAndersonMan
