Here we go, chapter 6. Read and enjoy!

"We're not gonna make it Lloyd!" shouted Sheena, scared out of her wits, tears freely falling from her eyes.

"Sheena!" he yelled, inclining his running path so he'd be right next to her, "Grab on and don't let go!" he grabbed her waist with both arms, and started to concentrate.

Large blue, spectral wings emerged out of his back. He jumped, and flew off, holding on to Sheena as hard as he could. Sheena looked down to see a grey dragon, similar to the ones the knights ride on, land on its feet, its jaws shut tight, as if it tried to snap at them.

"Thanks Lloyd!" she thanked as she kissed his cheek, "That was clo..." but before she could finish, a loud thump was heard, and they saw the ground shake.

"W-What was that?" asked Lloyd, neither of them could see what caused the ground to shake.

Before she could answer, another loud thump was heard, followed by another and another.

"The time between each sound," muttered Sheena, "they're footsteps. But what could make the ground...no!" she gasped, "The Golden Beauty? She really exists?"

"Who or what's the Golden Beauty?" Lloyd questioned.

"No time, Lloyd, just get us to that mountain. Hopefully we can find a place to hide."

The next thing they knew, was a loud, ear-piercing roar, which made Sheena let go of Lloyd to cover her ears, but Lloyd himself had to endure the pain in his ears, or otherwise Sheena would fall.

Suddenly, Lloyd's newfound angel senses alerted him of the immense build up of mana, which was coming from the direction of the loud thumps.

"SHEENA!" he yelled as loud as he could, "HANG ON!" and he made a sharp right turn.

A large burst of energy, then engulfed the area they were in just moments ago. "Lloyd," started Sheena, "that looked like..."

"...the Mana Cannon!" he finished, "But it seemed to come from that beast down there!"

"Lloyd, we've gotta find somewhere to hide before it fires again!"

"Right." He started to flap his wings faster, and with greater force.

In what seemed like no time at all, they landed outside a cave. Lloyd's wings faded, and he started to pant.

"You ok Lloyd?" Sheena asked, putting an arm around his shoulders, concern over ruling her voice.

"Yeah, but dodging like that took a lot out of me." He was still trying to catch his breath.

"Come on," she said, leading him into the cave, "lets get you rested up."

They were barely half way into the cave, when Sheena screamed. There, in front of them, was a skeleton, with Mizuho garbs on.

"Sheena," Lloyd began to ask, "who is-was that?"

"Shevan." She answered simply, "Vice-chief Tiga's son."

"What?" he questioned shocked, "Why is-was he here."

She took a deep breath, and began her explanation, "This island; Dragon's Keep, has always been legend as a place where no-one returns, supposedly due to all the dragons here. There is also supposed to be the mother of all dragons, the Golden Beauty. This island is said to be the birth place of all dragons." She waited for Lloyd to make her realise he understood, he nodded. "Anyway, about two years before my failure with Volt, we tried to see if these rumours were true, as it was the only secret of Tethe'Alla, that we didn't know. Shevan, as well as a few other members, went to investigate. None of them ever returned, and we didn't dare try to explore again."

Lloyd just nodded in understanding. He walked over to the skeleton, and picked up a small book. "It's his journal." He answered Sheena's confused face.

She rushed to his side, "What's it say?" Lloyd opened the book to find the parts involving the cave.

We've now been forced into this cave, we've lost all of our supplies to these beasts. We are going to have to send scouts out for food soon, or at least water.

Our food patrol hasn't returned yet, and it's been over two hours since they were supposed to return here. Our hopes of them returning are all gone, and no-one else wants to go out for a fresh attempt.

I'm the only one left. Everyone else has gone mad and ran away from this place. The lack of food, is also starting to get to me. I have been able to hear the roars of the Golden Beauty for a while now. It's angry, I can tell it. It knows there's still one more intruder left, me. Well, he won't have to worry about me anymore. I cannot last much longer.

"That's all that's here." Said Lloyd, searching the journal for anything else useful. "He must of started to escape but lost all his energy." He looked up to see Sheena was crying uncontrollably. "Sheena? What's wrong?"

"I'm scared, if they were trapped in here, what hope do we have?" she sobbed. This shocked Lloyd to his core. Sheena, the unbreakable person, who always stood so strong and proud, was now crying, non-stop. "I-I don't wanna lose you Lloyd, not now."

Lloyd embraced Sheena in a hug that would protect anyone from harm, "Don't worry Sheena, nothing is gonna happen to us. We will get out of this place, I promise." He lifted her chin, and kissed her lovingly.

"I believe you Lloyd," she said after finally breaking the kiss, "Please, don't let me down." She then wrapped her arms around his neck, and pulled him into a powerful, passionate kiss.

"Woah!" yelled Genis in shock, as they were flying towards Dragon's Keep, "Did you see that?"

"That was a huge amount of mana that fired!" answered Raine, in awe of what just happened.

"It looked like the Mana Cannon." Added Regal.

"Don't say what it looks like!" cried Zelos, "What if our friends were caught in that?"

"If the blast was fired at that angle," inputted Pesea, "I doubt it was aimed at the two...if they are there."

Suddenly a figure from behind zoomed ahead, as Colette increased her speed.

Lloyd was now flat on his back, with Sheena lieing on top of him. They were in the middle of a very passionate kiss, when they heard a faint growl. They looked to the side, to see a purple dragon, the size of the cave, its massive wings folded on its body. It had large, strong looking legs, and no arms. Its jaws were large, and pure white, but its eyes...its eyes were red and piercing, as if they could see into your very soul.

The couple stood up, almost instantly, and, as if it was second nature, they went for their weapons, only to find that they still had no means to protect themselves. Lloyd pulled Sheena behind his back, but he swore he could hear something, above the growl of the beast in front of them.

There you have it. Depending on how long the next chapter is, it should be the last, but there might be a prologue if its too long, otherwise I'll fit it in the next chapter.

I'll enjoy reading your reviews. Oh and I'm starting school again (NOOOOOOOOO!) so I may not be able to update as frequently.
