Author's Notes

-"Man, finally writing again. I was in a bit of a block. I think I still am. Please don't expect much on this chappie. Well lets get the interview started. Introducing the one and only… Genis Sage!"-

Genis:-"Hello everyone. Hello"-

-"Hey. Okay now would be a good time to say this. This and my other story (Light and Dark) are posted in another site. You will hear a question by a girl from this site. The site is called Well lets get started. First question to Genis by MoonCannon: From the inside, do you actually hate everyone except Raine?"-

Genis:-"Well MoonCannon there was a time in which I did. Then I met Lloyd and Collete. From then on I stopped this hatred towards people"-

-"Thank you Genis. Next question by GoldenSunGeek: Did you ever thought Raine was your mother?"-

Genis-"Well… I confess, yes. But I was like 3 years old only. I think she liked me thinking that because she told me when I was like 5"-

-"Whoa. Okay last question by Dark-Key-Blade-Girl: What do you think of Lloyd?"-

Genis:-"Well… He's a pain sometimes. Other times he's pretty good as a friend"-

-"Thanks. Sorry Dark-Key-Blade-Girl, could only ask him 1 question"-

Genis:-"Why did she ask something else?"-

-"Yeah. She wanted to know if your hair was dyed silver or was that your natural color?"-

Genis:-"Well it is my natural color"-

-"Okay. Well let's start the chapter"-

Collete's New Friend

As Genis regained his strength, Lloyd was now worrying about Collete. He also wanted a piece of Jason really bad. As for Collete, she was checking her opponent. It said that her name was Lady Death. She was a bit scared because of the name but she was determined to win. As she was going to see Lloyd she bumped into a young girl.

-"Oh I'm terribly sorry"- said Collete

-"Its okay"- said the young girl. She had short blonde hair and black eyes. She was the size of Collete.As soon as she saw Collete she got up and ran away. Collete was confused now. She continued her way to see Lloyd.

-"Why are you afraid now?"- asked a young boy to the girl Collete meet.

-"I got to this far by because you helped me. What if that other boy helps her?"- asked the Girl. The boy was really similar to the girl. Blonde and black eyed but he was a lot tougher and taller than her.

-"Then I'll beat him to a pulp. We will get the money. Even if we did cheat to enter this tournament"- said the boy. They left to rest a bit. Meanwhile Collete had told Lloyd of her opponent and how scared she was. Lloyd tried to calm her down by patting her on the elbow.

-"Collete calm down. If anything goes wrong I'll help you out"- Lloyd said

-"Lloyd… Thanks"- said Collete hugging Lloyd. He was blushing as she did. The match wasn't until two hours so Lloyd helped Collete by training her. Just as they were training Collete noticed that the girl she had bumped into was running towards a boy. Collete and Lloyd went to see what was going on. As they reached there the girl and the boy got startled and ran away.

-"Wait… Lloyd let's follow them"- said Collete

-"Okay"- said Lloyd. They pursued the children. They had just reached the outskirts of Iselia when the children had finally stopped.

-"What do you want?"- asked the boy.

-"Why were you running from us?"- asked Collete

-"We don't need to answer to you. Lets go sister"-

-"Wait. Hi my name is Terry. That's my brother Neil"- said Terry.

-"Hello Terry. My name is Collete, this is Lloyd"-

-"Nice to meet you"-

-"Come on Terry lets leave"- said Neil pulling Terry away from Lloyd and Collete.

-"Wait Neil. Maybe if we explain it to them, they could help us"- said Terry

-"We can't trust them sis"-

-"We can try"-

-"Explain us what?"- asked Lloyd

-"Well me and my brother are broke. We came from Palmacosta. We wanted to join this tournament but it was to late. We really needed the money so my brother attacked the Desians so he could enter. The Desians weren't happy about this. We ran away. My brother then knew he couldn't join the tournament. But I could. He defeated a Desian warrior and since there was an open space he entered me. He managed to help me with his magic through the crowd but… last time he almost got caught. We really need this money. But with my brother being watched by the Desians I can't fight alone. My next opponent is… you"- said Terry pointing at Collete. Both Lloyd and Collete were shocked.

-"So let me get this straight: You want Collete to throw the match?"- asked Lloyd

-"Please?"- said Terry. Neil wasn't paying attention to Lloyd.

-"Even if Collete does throw the match, you'll end up fighting that Jason guy. Trust me he's no pushover"- said Lloyd

-"What do you suggest we do?"- asked Neil abruptly.

-"End the match in a draw. I promise you that I will get you the money"- said Lloyd

-"Seriously?"- asked both Neil and Terry. Lloyd nodded. The decision was made. However Jason had heard the conversation and he didn't really agree with this. As the match between Collete and Terry was starting, Neil and Lloyd were in the crowd watching the match. As soon as the match started Jason attacked both Collete and Terry with a magic spell.

-"You wanted a draw Lloyd Irving, you got one"- Jason told Lloyd. Lloyd clenched his fist.

-"The next match will end this tournament Lloyd Irving. The next match is our match"- said Jason. He had taken out the last Desian that had reached the semifinals.

-"I accept. And on the next match… I'll kill you. For Genis, the professor, Collete and Terry. You won't leave alive"- said Lloyd. He then left the crowd to tend to Collete and Terry who were very injured. Meanwhile out in Derris-Kharlan, Mithos had heard of this tournament. He then sent Kratos to investigate about it. Since Anna's death, Kratos was only thinking about the missions he was given. So he accepted and left for Sylverant yet again.

-"Well this chappie sucked. But I have to put something so my fans can read. I hope you don't give up and stop reading my story"-

Genis:-"Are you kidding me. This chappie might not have been good. But the next one is sure as heck going to be the best and most epic of them all. If I was a reader I'd keep reading this amazing fic. Too bad I was nearly killed sob"-

-"Hehe Thanks. See you next time. Oh and the next chappie is the last one. Lloyd vs. Jason. And like Genis said it'll be the best. Well bye"-
