CW- at the risk of being slapped again for hurting Lloyd, I think I'll skip today's skit and just answer reviews.

Kratos Aurion fan- a most wonderful review, it's good to know other people like to party to. Wasn't Saturday a lot of fun? He he he. I'm thinking about taking you're advice and turning the story we made up into a fanfiction. I will give you credit of course, we just need to come up with a title. I hope to hear from you again.

Shadowofthewave- hi again, I'm glad you liked the last chapter that much, and I hope you find a replacement for that vase you broke.. I'm sorry for bailing on you Saturday, I was busy at the time. I hope you're not too mad at me.

Alexthesummoner- new reviewer, BTW you stole my first name. I welcome you to the review page.

Houjun Ri #1- yeey, you're back, you're back. I was starting to worry. What game did you say you were obsessed with? Maple story? That's a weird title. Geometry must suck huh? Well, I'm glad to have you back, and I hope that you don't have too much trouble with you're homework school, bleck!

Chapter 12

A Hasty Retreat, A Grim Defeat

the team stared with their mouths wide open, even Kratos and Yuan. "How?" asked Lloyd in a shrill voice, "I shattered that crystal into pieces, how did you get a hold of it?"

"Well" replied Angelos, "it wasn't easy, it took every waking moment I had for the past 3 years, but I finally found all of the missing pieces".

"What makes you think that you'll get away with it?" asked Kratos sarcastically as he unsheathed his sword.

"I don't need to think about getting away with it" replied the angel as he raised his hand, "I already have" the classic villain line. He swiped his hand around in mid air and shouted "Golden Rings". Just then, a numerous amount of golden rings shot fourth. They wrapped around everyone and strapped them to the nearby wall, all except Lloyd, Kratos, Collette, and Genis.

The others struggled to get free, but even Yuan couldn't break his ring.

"Don't bother struggling" said Angelos with an evil snicker on his face, "they only way to get rid of the rings, is either if I wish it or if I die".

"Then let's go with the ladder" replied Lloyd as he and the others unsheathed their weapons.

The screen shatters to signal a battle, just like in the game hehe

Angelos stood at the opposite side of the field which was the hallway "you will all perish, you don't deserve to live long enough to see the resurrection of Lord Yuggdrasiel".

"We won't let you get away with that" Lloyd replied, the battle had begun.

Lloyd charged straight for Angelos. He jumped into the air and slashed downward, but he was stopped by an invisible barrier.

"Foolish human" said Angelos, "my angelic barrier won't even let you come near me".

"That wont stop us from trying" replied Kratos as he raised his hand along with Collette. The two angels chanted together.

"Sacred powers, cast you're purifying light on this corrupt soul, rest in peace sinner, Judgment". Beams of light shot forth from the heavens and bombarded the field with angelic power. When the light show had ended, Angelos was still standing, and he barely had a scratch on him.

"Oh my" said Angelos, "you nicked my clothes, now I have to fight back". He rose into the air, and prepared himself for battle, the others prepared themselves as well. "Photon" shouted Angelos. Instantly, the spell was cast, and the heroes were electrocuted. "Angel Feathers" he shouted as feathers from his wings shot forth like pin needles.

Minutes later………

The team was on the ground, battered and bruised, they lay at the feet of their executioner. "Fools" he called, "you never stood a chance against me".

"Maybe so" replied Lloyd, "but we're not gonna give up, we're going to fight, FIGHT TO THE BITTER EEEEEEENNNNNNNNDDDDDDD!". Just then, the team's bodies started glowing with a radiant light. They all rose, and combined their attacks into one final strike.

Lloyd- Eternity Crusher

Kratos and Collette- Absolute Judgement

Genis- Meteor Rain

Their attacks swirled together in a triad of power.

"No" shouted Angelos, "this is impossible, how could I lose to yooooooooouuuuuuuuuuu!".

A bright light engulfed the evil angel in a torrent of rage. The explosion left a thick barrier of smoke. When the smoke finally cleared, the group was shocked to find Angelos, badly bruised and beaten, but still standing.

"You insolent wretches" he screamed, "you ruined everything".

"Its over Angelos" called Yuan as he and the other trapped fighters were released from their rings "just give up now and you may live to see tomorrow".

"Oh, I'll live to see tomorrow" murmured Angelos as he moved into Martel's room by backing away from the fighters, "but you wont". He snapped his fingers, and a re-enforced door slammed down, cutting him off from the others. He waved a sarcastic goodbye as the room took off like a rocket and zoomed off into space.

"Damn" shouted Lloyd, "he got away, again, and he took Martel and the crystal".

"It's okay Lloyd" comforted Kratos, "we stopped him from making the same mistake Mithos did, at least for now. If worse comes to worse, we'll stay here and wait for him to come back".

"Planet self destruct sequence has been activated, all inhabitants, please leave the planet and have a nice day. Self destruct in 10 minutes".

"Oh crap" shouted everyone at once as they dashed down the castle stairs and out to the town. On their way down, they had to fight their way through an army of angel knights, who had sworn to serve Angelos, even if it meant death.

9 minutes later………….

They raced to Darris Kharlon with an army of angels on their tail. They finally reached the warp gate, but the angels had gotten too close, if they all left, the angels would surely follow.

"Go on ahead" said Sheena as she summoned the spirits, "I'll hold them off".

"No" called Zelos before he entered the portal, "I won't leave without you".

"I'll be right behind you, now go" she shouted as she pushed him into the portal. After she was shore that he was through, she destroyed the portal, and turned to face the army. Darris Kharlon rose into space and took off at full speed, the others were aware of the sacrifice that Sheena had made. Only moments later, the planet exploded, and Sheena along with it.
