Tales of Symphonia 2
The Return of Mithos Yggdrassill
Chapter 12: Saving the Others
The group was almost to Ozette. When they got there, they saw Presea chained to a tree with multiple stab wounds.
"No! Presea!" Regal shouted, running to her. An angel with black wings came down to the land and stood between the two.
"I assume you are one of the Dark Seraphim. What is your name?" asked Regal.
The angel looked at him, and smiled. "You are not as dumb as you look, I shall tell you my name. I am Harmos, third strongest of the Dark Seraphim, led by Lord Yggdrassill himself!"he said.
Kratos opened his eyes wide. "Just as I thought." he said. Everyone looked at him, and Harmos laughed.'
"So you have decided to return. It will be a pleasure to defeat you this time, you so called Hero of Eternity!" Harmos said, running to Kratos, pulling out a seven foot iron sword with curses written on it.
Kratos ran to Harmos, and brought the Eternal Sword on Harmos' Sword, Shadow.
Harmos attempted to slash Kratos, but Kratos dodged it and cut Harmos' hands off. Black, oily liquid started to pour from where his hands were, and Harmos yelped in pain. Kratos then cut off Harmos's head, and the one known as Harmos fell to the ground, and writhed like a snake with its head cut off.
"Sacred powers, cast your purifying light upon theses corrupt souls, rest in peace sinners! Judgment!" Kratos said as the pillars of light struck Harmos, making him vanish. Kratos picked up Harmos' sword, Death, and walked to Presea. He slashed her where Harmos had slashed her, and she fell down.
"Presea!" Regal shouted, running to her.
"Regal, I saw the most horrible thing. There were four dark angels, and they were kneeling before some that looked like Mithos, who sent them away to find someone named Kratos, and that is where you guys came in." she said. Kratos frowned.
"Dad, you know about this, don't you?" asked Lloyd.
"I'll explain it later, when we save Raine." Kratos said, looking at his son.
"Hey guys! We need to save my gorgeous ultra-cool beauty Raine!" Zelos said.
Everyone looked at him, and smiled as he and Sheena were close to each other.
"Yes, we must locate Raine." Regal said.
The group went to the Otherworldly Gate, and saw her frozen like a statue with a sword through her chest.
"No!" Kratos said. Everyone fell back and saw her there, motionless. They stopped when they herd a voice in the air.
"If you pull that sword out of her, she will die. That sword keeps her blood where it should be, and if it were to be removed, it would result in a fatal wound." he said.
"Who are you?" asked Sheena.
The person came down to the ground and smiled at them. He was shrouded in black, and had blue wings. "I need not introduce myself to you, for have met me before." he said.
"Your wings suuuuure do match your personality!" Sheena said, rolling her eyes at him.
"Touch my wing, and you will see what I mean." he said.
"No! I will not. It's just a way for you to trap me." Sheena said.
"Too late. Now you will see true horror." he said flying to Sheena and grabbing her hand with the Cruxis Crystal. He put the hand on his wing, and Sheena shrieked.
"Sheena!" Lloyd shouted as he and Zelos ran up to her. When they got there, Sheena was frozen solid. Lloyd tried to hit her with a sword, but her right hand came off and shattered on the ground.
"NO! Sheena!" Zelos shouted, and cast Fire Ball at her to unthaw her. The three fireballs hit at her left front leg, stomach, and where her right hand used to be. The fireballs caused her to melt a little there and she became disfigured. She was hunchbacked, her leg melted some, and she leaned down. Where her right hand used to be there was nothing but red fluid dripping on the ground.
Kratos gasped. "You have caused pain for too long! I will personally see to it that you are completely destroyed and your Cruxis Crystal shattered, Abyssion!" he shouted.
"Abyssion? We killed you! How could you come back to life?" asked Lloyd.
"HAHAHAHAHA!" Abyssion yelled. "I guess I could tell you my story, since you are about to die." he said.
"I was born five-hundred million years ago with the name of Abel Simon. I was a frightfully strong lad, and at the age of five, I went to study swordsmanship with my master, Lord Yggdrassill. He taught me magic and sword skills that I still cannot even make better today. When I got back from ten years of training, everyone feared me, and I was banished from my town. I went to find Lord Yggdrassill, so he could avenge me. He did just that. He split the worlds apart, and sent all the ones who hurt me to this world, where they died. In return for his services, he asked me to serve him and find three others who would do his bidding." he said.
"Why did you stop?" asked Lloyd.
"That's about it. If you want the whole story, ask your father." he said.
"I will, but after I take care of you! I will never forgive you for what you did to Sheena and Raine!' Lloyd said, running to Abyssion. Abyssion smiled, and stabbed Lloyd in the chest with a dagger. Lloyd fell, and was bleeding bad.
"I mmust llivve. Colette..." he said. Kratos looked at his son, and his jaw dropped. "He is still alive, but barely. His love for Colette keeps him alive." Yuan said.
Abyssion looked at him. "Really? Well, then I guess then she'll have to go too..." he said, grinning.
"No..." Lloyd said. He started to get up, until Abyssion put his foot on Lloyd's chest and slammed him to the ground. Lloyd cried out in pain so loud that even Colette could hear it.
Kratos glared at Abyssion, and walked to him. "You have killed for to long. It is time that you perish at the hands of light, love and justice, foul creature of doom!" Kratos said, pulling out the Eternal Sword. He walked Abyssion, who looked at him, afraid. Abyssion ran, and Kratos chased him. Kratos caught up with him, and sliced his head off, and destroyed his body with Shining Indignation Judgment.
Kratos flew back to Lloyd, and discovered that he was sitting up smiling. Sheena and Raine were thawed, Abyssion's sword was gone, and Sheena's hand was back in place.
"Oh Zelos!" Sheena said, running to him. She hugged him, and kissed him on the cheek. Zelos grinned madly. Raine walked to Lloyd and healed him.
"Thank you Professor, I'm so glad that you and Sheena are okay!" he shouted. Raine smiled and looked at Kratos. She walked up to him, and hugged him. Kratos just stood there.
"It's okay" Raine said. "There is something I must tell you." she said. Kratos nodded.
Back with the others, Lloyd was laying on his back, smiling. Kratos had walked over to his son, with Raine next to him.
"A gald for your thoughts?" he asked.
"Hmm? Oh, I was thinking about how everyone is safe again, and of...Colette." Lloyd said, blushing.
"You love her don't you?" asked Kratos.
"Well... yes, I do. I love her so much I can't describe it. She is my life force, like all of you. But her, she is sweet, and..." Zelos butted in.
"Lloyd you're a man after all!" he said hugging him.
"Lloyd, don't be shy about love, it's okay to say it out loud." Regal said.
"You're right. Here goes. I LOVE COLETTE!" he shouted.
Yuan found this the perfect opportunity "It's obvious, I mean look at her now!" he said. Kratos walked up to him, and hit him upside the head. Everyone laughed.
"Can we go home?" asked Presea.
"Yes." Kratos said. And with that, the group went back through the portal, and came out cheerful, until...
Well, that's chapter 12! Sorry for not updating for so long, I was on vacation and could not write. Anyway, chapter 13 is when Kratos tells his life story, and the mysterious villain Origin called "Lord Diablos" will appear. ANyway, keep on reading, and I'll keep on writing. Until later, goodbye!
