Review Responses:
Cerse Liminara: Pookie!
Raystar Ikinia: They're no different. The only difference is the language and only the Japanese version has a sound test. (for both PS2 and GC) Well, uh, sure you can send that trailer thing. Only if it doesn't have viruses!
Lady Duzie: The button is just there, no significance. And I don't think Zelos would look good with wings.
DeadEdBoy: I like that part, too!
Thebacklashwave: Heh heh chibis...heh heh.
13) Bad Day
Raine opens her eyes only to see Sheena right next to her, unconcious. She tries to wake her up but her arm seems to be tied to chains. Not only was her arm tied up, her torso, legs and her neck were tied up too. And she wasn't wearing her clothing, too. She was wearing black stripper clothing. (Just enough to cover "them." C'mon peoples, I'm not a pervert!) Having seeing her figure in this horrible outfit she shakes around trying to get out. She wanted to scream but there was a small ball or something in her mouth and she could only muffle her words. A strap was tied to her mouth so the ball stays in. What's worse, she's tied up on a celing. Fortunately, the others, all unconcious, were tied up with those ridiculous clothing and those ridiculous balls in their mouths, too. Only thing is Genis and Regal wore black tights, that's it.
There were inside a dim area and the only source of electricity were two bright lights on each wall. The area looked empty and looked really big.
Raine screams helplessly as her screeches muffled across the room. Then the only door in the room opened revealing a man with a cape. She widens her eyes at the sight of the man as he creates a sinister laugh...
"Muahahahahahahahaha..."
The door closed and all was heard was a scream.
It's been three hours since Lloyd, in Zelos' body, and Zelos, in Lloyd's body, landed in what looks like Derris-Kharlan. The purplish background, the long-ass path, those annoying angels. They don't remember the path being this long.
"Sheesh, it looks like we're walking in circles! Hey! Have I seen that before?" Lloyd whined.
"I'm following you," Zelos hissed, "Don't ask me such absurd questions."
"No, I'm serious! I've seen that thing before!" Lloyd points to an area filled with smoke and a small white thing from the distance. Zelos squints to have a better look at it.
"It's that 'warp' thingy! Crap! We HAVE been walking in circles!"
"It didn't look like have..."
"You just said earlier that we've been walking in circles! Do you even know where you're going?"
"Uh...no."
Suddenly a group of angels appeared from behind.
"Humans! Destroy them!"
The group of only female angels charges toward the confused pair with their swords and poked Zelos in the back before he suddenly realize that he got hurt.
"Whoa! Where'd they come from?"
They both stepped back to see four Dark Sword charging toward them.
"I'll take care of those two, I'll take the other two." Lloyd brandishes his one handed sword.
"Hey, lemme take care of those two, okay?" Zelos takes out his two swords and creates a battle pose that Lloyd has never seen before.
"What are you doing?" Lloyd stares at Zelos, leaving him oblivious.
"What?"
"You look so weird doing that, stop that!"
"Well, I like doing this, gotta problem with that?"
"Yes, I do!"
While they were arguing about Zelos' weird battle pose, the angels charged toward them without delay. All four of the angels attacks Zelos' body at once.
"Whoa!" Lloyd gets pinned down by the angels and they starts towhack their swords at him. "Ow, ow, ow, ow! Get off me!"
One of the angels attempts to thrust at Lloyd's chest until a powerful force caused them to fly away from him.
"Back off, hunnies. Don't touch my body unless I say so. Haiya!" Zelos went ahead and went full force on two angels, leaving Lloyd with the other two.
"This is the final warning..." One of the angels said.
"Eep! Run away!" Lloyd quickly gets up before the angel casts Ice Tornado on him.
"Now, die!"
The ice vortex just missed Lloyd, fortunately. Unfortunately, the other angel was there waiting for him.
"Die!"
"Wa!" Lloyd quickly defends himself with his sword and starts whacking it after her multiple sword swings. Since Lloyd was so fast during his training, he successfully landed his hits six times and linked it with a Demon Fang and a Hurricane Thrust. "Zelos!"
"What? I'm busy!"
"How do you use Light Spear?"
"No time! I, ow!"
"Fine, here goes!" Lloyd attempts to use Light Spear on the angel he was fighting, but since he never learned how to do it, he made a weird pose and now he was open.
"Begone!"
"Whoa!"
Zelos elegantly swings his two swords like a ballet dancer almost mimicking the angel's moves. "Yeah, what now? Come and dodge this!" He then flips each swords on both of his hands and a whole bunch of shockwaves came out of the swords, equivalent to Demonic Chaos. Most of the shockwaves landed but the angels dodged it soon after they realized they got hit. Zelos then resumed his weird ballet sword dance. Similar to the angel's moves, they quickly found an open spot where Zelos remains motionless and they attacked while he was open for damage.
Both Lloyd and Zelos fell back and landed on each others back.
"Whaddya got?"
"Haven't killed them yet."
"Man, these hunnies put up a good fight..."
The four angels surrounds the already tired Lloyd and Zelos.
"I got a plan." Lloyd blurted.
"What is it, and make it quick!"
Lloyd whispers in Zelos' ear and they both understood. Then Lloyd sets up a Unison attack.
"Alright..."
Lloyd attacked an angel so fast that the others we're lost in the process. Having landing the Unison Attack, both Lloyd and Zelos threw a Double Demon Fang at the vicimized angel.
"Are you ready?"
A new combination attack was initiated and they threw a huge shockwave at the enemy.
"DEMONIC CATASTROPHE!"
The shockwave was so huge that it resembled a tital wave. It engulfed all of the angels killing them at the process. All was left now was Lloyd and Zelos.
"Holy crap, did we just do that?" Zelos dumbfoundedly said.
"It worked..."
"Yeah..."
A huge skidmark from the shockwave was on the ground, it sizzled as a result of a powerful force. All they could do was stand there.
"Uh...let's go."
After they walked away from the encounter, they went ahead and walked to where their hearts lead them. Well, actually Lloyd's heart.
An hour later.
"I could of sworn we went to a different path!" Lloyd whined.
"Yeah? Look." Zelos points to a familiar smoke with a familiar small white thing and a familiar large skidmark. "I knew it, we're went around in circles, again!"
"Yeah, but-"
"You know what?" Zelos walks ahead. "I'm staying away from you."
"Hey! Come back!" Lloyd catches up to Zelos, "We can't be separate!"
"I'm not listening!"
"Zelos! We can't just walk away like this!"
"Oh, yes we can!" Zelos approaches Lloyd, "We're better off doing this on our own. And I've been following your for, hell, I don't even know now. Face it, Lloyd, we're never going to get out of here if we do this together, okay? Just shut up and leave me alone!"
"I could just follow you!"
Zelos just gives him an offensive gesture, "Goodbye! Ciao! Adios! Sayanara!"
And he just leaves Lloyd alone in the purplish vortex.
Until he was gone from his vision.
"Humph, that stupid Lloyd. Why do I even bother staying with him in the first place? I'll just find a way to get my body back my own way."
Zelos starts to feel uncomfortable as a result of being alone. He was walking so far that he forgot where was, until he sees something from afar. Having founding something as many as an hour he broke to a run. But when he finally saw what he was looking at, he was suprised to see something familar. It was Lloyd, doing some kind of pondering gesture right next to a familiar white thing that was making that familiar smoke and a mile away was that familiar large skidmark. Was he really going around in circles? The thought of it gave Zelos a headache and he starts to get dizzy. Normally that wouldn't happen to someone who's confused. But why does he feel like he was going to faint?
Before he realized that he was feeling dizzy, he shook his head. But when he did, the vision that looked like Lloyd and those three familiar things disappeared, like it didn't exist. He soon found himself at the heart of Welgaia, the Angel City. Three female angels spotted Zelos, in Lloyd's body, and approached him. Zelos, although he knows that the angels are approaching him, was still dizzy to the fact that he just came from Derris-Kharlan to Welgaia for some odd reason. The three angels circled around him, smiling and waving at him. Could this be his imaginiation?
The female angels took his arms and walked him to a private area in Welgaia. All three of them giggled as they threw him to the ground and started fondling his chest. It can't be real. But it feels so nice... His dizziness wasn't getting any better as he continues to helplessly move around. The angels just giggled and held his arms down. One of the angels that wasn't holding on to him went on his body and started fondling his chest again. The giggles from the angels started to annoyingly echo through Zelos' ears as his dizziness still took over him.
Then the angel that was on him started to come closer to Zelos, she closed her eyes and opens her mouth slowly. She was going to kiss him. Zelos tries to open his mouth so his could meet hers. Then as soon as their lips met, the face of that innocent angel turned into a vicious hairy beast. Zelos finally overcame his dizziness and screamed really loud.
"Zelos!"
"Ahh! Get off me you beasty wench!" Zelos pushes Lloyd away, thinking it was that monster.
"Hey! I'm not a beasty wench!"
"Huh?" Zelos opens his eyes and sees his body looking at him. "It's you!"
"Uh, yeah. It's me."
"Where are we? What happened to me?"
"We're still in Derris-Kharlan, idiot. I saw you on the other side and you fainted!"
"...I did?"
"Yes you did! I finally found a way out!"
"...You did?"
"Yeah! Look!" Lloyd points to a purplish portal that was fixed on the ground.
Zelos gets up from the ground, "And where exactly did you find this?"
"I dunno, it just appeared out of nowhere."
"How can a portal appear out of nowhere?"
"Why are you asking me? Let's go in!"
"It might be a trap."
"So what? I'm sick and tired spending half the day in here!"
"I don't care! I'm not THAT stupid enough to go in a portal that just appeared out of nowhere!"
The portal that appeared out of nowhere created some kind of projected screen and out came a familiar figure.
"Yuan!"
"What are you two doing here?" "Yuan" scolded, "Get in now!"
"You made this portal for us?" Zelos asked.
"Yes! Now get in!"
"Doesn't sound like a trap to me..." Lloyd whispered.
"What are you talking about?" Zelos whispered back, "He's a fake!"
"Hey!" "Yuan" yelled, "I don't have all day!"
"It's better to be decieved than to decieve." Lloyd pointed out as he enters the portal. (Is this the correct Dwarven Vow phrase? And what's the number for it? I haven't played the American Version for so long! Help me!)
"...Ugh, I can't believe I'm doing this." Zelos enters the portal as well and they warped out of Derris-Kharlan in an instant. They warped to a place that they have never seen or heard before.
"Uh, Zelos? Where are we?"
"Uh-huh. Yeah."
RW: Zelos! What did you do while I was gone?
Zelos: ...Nothing.
Lloyd: No way!
RW: Get me out of this right now!
Zelos: Hey, does it look like I can get you out?
Lloyd: No way!
RW: I don't care! Get me out!
Lloyd: No way!
RW: Lloyd, shut your f(beep)ing mouth before I shove my foot up your ass!
Lloyd: Meep...
Skeith: (enters/burps) Oh, yeah. Okay, now where were we?
RW: Get me out of this thing right now, whoever the hell you are!
Skeith: Hey, shut your mouth, fool! (Staffwhacks RW) I brought Innis so he can actually make you go away while I'm watching!
RW: This is absurd! How did YOU managed to add THEM to MY story, Zelos?
Zelos: Well, uh, it sounded like a great offer to get rid of Lloyd, so I had to do it!
RW: What?
Innis: Why did you bring me here?
Skeith: Oh, there you are. Make him disappear now! (Points to RW)
Innis: ...I already did.
Skeith: No you did not! He's right here!
Innis: (Looks at RW) That's the real one, idiot!
Skeith: Huh?
Innis: Have you touched him yet?
Skeith: Uh...yeah...
Innis: You told me to make an illusion of him. So I did. And we all know that you can't touch illusions...
(While Innis was talking Skeith somehow disappeared)
Innis: That bastard. Oh well, lemme get ya outta this place.
(They all vanish and reappear in RW's house)
Zelos: Yes! Freedom!
Lloyd: No waaaay! (Jumps around)
RW: Dear Goddess, you had to bring him too?
Innis: What?
Review!
Refill: Mudayo! (Japanese Translation: "It is not getting through!")
(In the PS2 Version, Zelos goes out on a date with Refill (Raine) to watch the Katz play in Altimira.)
