Tales of Symphonia 2
The Return of Mithos Yggdrassill
Chapter 2: The Return of Kratos Aurion
In Derris-Kharlan, two seraphim known as Kratos and Yuan were discussing a very serious problem.
"Kratos, Derris-Kharlan is moving towards Symphonia at a high rate of speed. It will impact the planet in about one year." Yuan said, anxious.
"I know that, my friend. If there was only a way to get to Symphonia before Derris-Kharlan would impact the land, I would have found it by now." Kratos said.
Suddenly, a flash of golden light appeared in front of the two seraphim. It had the wings of Zelos, the body of Zelos, and then as if that was not enough, it said: "Well helloooooo there my friends miss me?"
"Zelos?" Yuan said, surprised.
"Yep, it's me, I'm really a Summon Spirit. The Summon Spirit of Time, actually. I can give you the power to transcend time. All you need for that are the Eternal Swords." Zelos said.
"Eternal Swords!" Yuan said, amazed.
"Yes, I give the Eternal Swords their power to transcend time, and Origin gives them the power to transcend space." Zelos said.
"But why?" asked Kratos "I mean, why forge two swords, and where is the second one?" The seraphim asked.
"Well, that's the problem." Zelos said. "The two Eternal Swords are presently one. The reason why Origin and I forged the two Eternal Swords is so that not one person could control th Universe, as Mithos really wanted. I remember when Origin called for me to forge the sword with him. He said "Zelos, Mithos is kind at heart, but I fear that if I forge just one sword, Mithos will become corrupted and take over the world". Then, I said "Well the Origin, let's forge two swords, one under your power and the other under mine. We'll call then them the Eternal Swords of Symphonia." I said to Origin. Origin agreed to this. Also, I had Origin make his Eternal Sword only able to be wielded by half-elves and those with the Eternal Ring, and my sword can only be used be summoners or humans." The Summon Spirit said.
"Wait a second, Zelos. How did you know of the Eternal Ring? You were not around when Lloyd received it." Yuan said.
"I am the Summon Spirit of Time after all." Zelos said. "Enough of this chit-chat. You need my power, so I'll make it simple-Kratos, form a pact with me so you can go to Symphonia and form pacts with the other Summon Spirits." Zelos said.
"Why the other Summon Spirits? Why do need their power?" Kratos asked.
"You will know when that time arises. But now Kratos, one of the true summoners, let us fight." Zelos said.
Yuan was surprised at these words. "Kratos? You, one of the Legendary True Summoners?"
"Yes Yuan, I am the last of them. I can Truly Summon a Summon Spirit. Simply, I can summon the true power of them Summon Spirits." Kratos said.
"Truly Summon?" asked Yuan.
"Yes, for example, I can summon Shadow to put one of my enemies in a Dark Sphere. When I Truly Summon, however, I can have Shadow send my enemies into another dimension full of darkness." Kratos said.
Yuan was dumfounded "You are really one to be respected." he said.
"Excuse me, I know you're having fun talking, but Derris-Kharlan just accelerated its speed and will reach Symphonia in two-hundred days. Kratos, let's form the pact now." Zelos said.
"Fine, Zelos. Let's dual alone." Kratos said.
The two, Kratos and Zelos, approached each other. They drew their swords. Kratos had the Last Fencer, and Zelos had the Ether Sword he used against Lloyd.
The two ran to each other, and Kratos struck Zelos with a Super Lightning Blade attack. Zelos staggered, and stuck Kratos with the Light Spear Cannon. Zelos then charged Kratos and used Indignation Judgment on him. Kratos used Guardian just as the bolts of lightning hit him. But, the shield fell apart when the sword of light struck him. The resulting blast sent Kratos heading straight toward a wall. Kratos opened his wings as he flew toward the wall. Zelos charged his mana, and sped toward Kratos. Kratos saw this, and he grinned. He oriented himself so that he land on the wall and bounce back at Zelos, which he did. Zelos saw this and ducked down. Kratos then landed behind him and told Zelos this: "See what endless training has produced, my friend! Shining Indignation Judgment!" A white light surrounded Kratos and spread until it reached Zelos. Zelos was amazed. He could not move. Kratos then closed his eyes and said: "Those who oppose good and love meet thy demise at the hands of truth! Shining Indignation Judgment!" The light that bound Zelos struck his feet with tremendous force, but held him in place. Then, lightning struck Zelos twenty times and then five swords of light struck Zelos, and they exploded. Zelos was thrown back with such a force that he was sent out of Derris-Kharlan. Zelos said to himself: "That power could save not only Symphonia, but stop the evil that sleeps there!"
Zelos flew back to Kratos, and sheathed the Ether Sword. Kratos sheathed the Last Fencer. Yuan was thinking about how he was glad he was Kratos' ally.
"Kratos, speak your vow, a vow worthy of time to remember." Zelos said.
"So, we are finished, it seems. Very well, here is my vow. Symphonia faces a grave danger now. I swear to always protect my son and the land from peril." Kratos said.
"Great vow man, I'll lend you my power, the power to transcend time"
Zelos became many points of light and became a bright golden star that floated into Kratos. A golden ring appeared on Kratos's ring finger on his left hand, and the voice of Zelos was heard. "This ring, the Ring of Time, will grant you the ability to go anywhere and everywhere. Time and Space are one. One cannot exist without the other. So go to Symphonia and stop Derris-Kharlan from impacting it. By the way, the reason why I took the form of Chosen for Tethe'alla was to see if there was anyone who save the world from Mithos's grasp. And I found him. Just now. Although, he is not who you think it is, he is in fact very close to you." Zelos laughed after he said that. His voice then disappeared.
Kratos turned to Yuan, who was very much shaken up by the event that just took place. "My friend, let's go back to Symphonia. There we can seek out Origin and form a pact with him." Kratos said. Yuan just shook his head up and down. Kratos took his left hand, held it in the air, and said "Take us to Symphonia, Ring of Time, to the Great Tree, Yggdrassill!" The seraphim shouted. A golden aura appeared around the two, and they vanished into thin air.
The next thing they saw was the Giant Tree, which had tripled its size since they last saw it, one-hundred years ago, but, they did not know how long they had been gone.
"Well, Kratos, let's start by flying to Heimdall and get permission to enter Torent Forest." Yuan said. The two angels opened their wings, and they flew off in the direction of Heimdall-The Secret Village of th Elves.
