I do not own Tales of symphonia or any of it's characters
Not very long at all. It's just to get the monkey off my back.
(Chapter 7)
Lloyd picked his mana gun off the ground and pointed at his father but Sheena was standing in the way.
"Don't make me do this." Lloyd said behind his gun.
"Don't make you what, shoot me or shoot yourself!" Sheena yelled.
Sheena watched Lloyd, not knowing what was happening but she did notice he was sweating. She hoped that if she could get closer she could knock the gun away.
Trying to calm him she said. "Lloyd everything is going to be ok ,just calm down." Though she was not feeling very calm herself.
She slowly moved forward and finally was within a couple of feet. She sighed in relief when unexpectedly,he dropped his gun and fell to his knees. She stood there a minute, not sure what had just happened.
Behind Lloyd a figure stepped out of the darkness.
Lloyd turned towards the unknown person, "Andy?"
A hammer hit him in the chest, causing him to fly back through a couple of trees.
Groaning, Lloyd said from the ground, "When did you join Cruxis, huh?"
"Fool! From the beginning! But I am being forced to show myself. Lord Yggdrasill can't have the seal broken. No offence Lloyd but it's time to die! COME FORTH!"
As Andy said this, two Angels appeared from the sky to his aid.
Sheena ran to Lloyd's side and saw that he had blood coming from his mouth and he couldn't move without intense pain. She gathered him in her arms.
"Don't worry... I got your back," she says before Lloyd fell into unconsciousness. She quickly kissed him on the forehead before gently releasing him andstanding up .
As they flew at Sheena and Kratos, the angels started swinging their weapons at them. They jumped back to avoid a mace and a spear. Kratos dashed forward fast, catching the angels off guard and successfully slicing one of the angels. Sheena attacked but got a blow from Andy sending her a few feet in the air then the angel slammed herinto the ground. Andy was about to swing his hammer down on Sheena but she grabbed at the ground and pulled herself under and past his legs. She flipped herself over and using all her strength, she then kicked Andy in the ass, making him fall over. then the Rouges and her friends ran into battle. White wing came out ofAndy's back and he flew away with the angels behind him.
Sheena, followed by her friends and the Rouges, ran back to Lloyd. She put her hand in front of his mouth to see if he was breathing normaly. She sighed in relief when she found that he was, but when she touched his neck to check the pulse, she screamed. Kratos touched Lloyd's arm and found that was no warmth in his body at all.
"You think it's stage two?" Avain asked.
"Yeah, it is. We have call Lord Yuan," answered Presea.
Six of them put one of their hands in air and started chanting something while Saria was typing something in the black briefcase. A large circle of light appeared causing the others to look in their direction.
"What are you doing when Lloyd is dying right in front of you!" yelled Sheena.
"Calling for backup, Lloyd is going into stage two," answered Saria as she finished typing. The ring of light started spinning and a few Rengades began hopping out until Yuan walked out followed by Botta.
"Botta, aren't you dead?" asked Genis in shock.
"Apparently not, " Botta sneered.
Yuan pointed at Lloyd and a couple of Renegades carefully picked him off the ground and started to walk into the portal.
"Kratos, you're coming too." Yuan said.
"Why Kratos?" Raine asked.
"Well, I would think the father would want to check on his son and to know what's going on."
Everyone gasped except Sheena and Kratos, who already know.
"I'm coming too." Sheena ordered.
"No. We don't need babies running around our base." Botta responded.
Sheena face turned to stone. She started to open her mouth to argue.
"Who cares! Just bring her, we really need to go now before Lloyd over heats," Yuan said as he disappeared into the portal.
"Over heats? Have you felt him? He is freezing." Sheena said as Kratos walked in the portal but she stopped out of fear.
"Go to Meltokio in a week," Botta said to what was left of Lloyd's old friends as she shoved Sheena into the light. Sheena tried to walk but soon fell, she felt someone help her up.
"It will take a while for you to get use to quick-jumping." Yuan said as he was watching over Lloyd very carefully and start to walk out.
"Hellloooo, you going to tell us what is going with Lloyd?" requested Sheena.
Yuan cleared his throat, started walking before speaking, "Around two months ago Lloyd snuck into our Tethe'alla base. But he soon learned that Presea wasn't in this base so he left and went for the Sylvarant base. He finally found her in jail cell 2336 and released her."
Yuan stopped and opened a door that leaded in a dark room with a large window. Kratos looked through the window and saw Lloyd laying ona bed in a white room.
"What does that have to do with Lloyd condition!" yelled Sheena.
"I'm getting there. While escaping, Yssdrasill and an army of angels attacked the base. Lloyd and Presea ran intothem and Lloyd was killed in battle by Yssdrasill."
"What? You're crazy. He's not dead, Lloyd's right there!" argued Sheena.
"Then you don't know Lloyd's exsphere's true power." Yuan said
"What do you mean?" asked Sheena, feeling totally confused and was currently fighting the feeling of fear inside her.
"The Angelus project is an exsphere that uses large amounts of mana to reform objects or people back into existence but this process takes time. When he dies, the wearer will only be an ghost of the last things he/she felt. Then, in stage two, the wielder will be reborn as he once was until stage three when it will convert the holder into an angel with an unlimited supply of mana. This is why the exsphere was for Martel." Yuan stopped to let the information absorb.
"Why did you try to get Lloyd to kill himself if you wanted him to go to stage three?" Kratos asked.
"Lloyd couldn't die until stage two but I never told him that," answered Yuan. He soon pressed a button that started to close shutters in the window.
"Will he lose his memories?" Kratos asked.
"Oh no, but he will have a tough time with his vocabulary and basic motor skills for awhile." Yuan said. He left the room with Kratos and Sheena wondering. Kratos pressed the button opening the shutters and he just watched Lloyd as Sheena joined him.
As Yuan left the room and he heard the shutters open. He chuckled to himself then thought, 'Lloyd's night is going to be pretty painful.'
