And I'm back again, along with the next chapter of Concert's back. Who stopped Lloyd confessing, find out now.

Thanks for all of my reviews, they're really encouraging.


"Lloyd!" cried the man again, "What did you do!"

It was Mr. Moore, his old boss. "What do you mean?" he asked confused, "I don't know what you..."

"What did you do to piss them off?" he cut across him. But Lloyd still looked confused, "I forgot what an idiot you are! Some guys in red came to my shop asking for you. When I told them I didn't know, they trashed the shop and burnt it to the ground!"

"Hey could they be the ones who robbed your place?" Sheena asked Lloyd. He didn't answer, it wasn't them, it was he who'd done that. But he knew who they were.

"You'd better find a way to pa-AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" he stopped and fell flat on his face, a knife in his back, and dead. Sheena screamed.

"I knew he'd lead us to him eventually." Laughed a man in red his arm outstretched.

"Guess I owe you 10 gald." Chuckled another man next to him, also in red.

Lloyd head was bursting with emotions; anger and shock for them finding him, hatred for what they did to ruin his life, sadness for them killing an innocent to get to him. But most of all fear, not for himself but for Sheena. Cruxis had found him with Sheena, which meant she was in danger too. He couldn't protect her, sure he trained to fight with his father and Lucrus, but he'd lost his swords during Cruxis attack on his family. He'd never planned on fighting again, just running and hiding.

"I'm surprised you managed to hide from Cruxis for so long Lloyd." The 1st man said, "It was clever of you to burn down your own house to clear your trail, but it didn't last long though huh?"

"Lloyd?" asked Sheena. She was completely confused of what was happening, some men just killed someone Lloyd knew. They then say how he was hiding from something called Cruxis. But what baffled her the most was that he had burned down his own house.Why?

But before she could say something else, Lloyd shouted, "SHEENA! RUN NOW!"

"Ha! Too late." Laughed the 2nd man as he clicked his fingers. Suddenly, loads of men in red came and surrounded them as some grabbed Sheena.

"Lloyd!" she cried out desperately.

"Sheena!" he yelled, then turned towards the 1st 2 and ordered, "Let her go!"

"And why should we do that?" they were laughing coldly.

He turned towards Sheena again and said, without turning back, "Let her go, and I'll come quietly."

Sheena was more confused even more, 'Come quietly? What on earth is he talking about? And just who are these...' Her train of thoughts were cut short however when one of the men holding her moved their hand to her upper chest.

"Nice." He was saying, an evil grin on his face.

"Get your paws off me you perverted son of a..." but she was gagged as she was finishing, by another man.

"Feisty too, I don't know guys, I'd say we should take the girl instead, much more rewarding for us!"

"Yes, you would say that wouldn't you." This was from a female voice, "However we have our orders, and they say to bring in Lloyd at all costs, as he is willing to come quietly if we leave the girl alone, we should do just that." Lloyd looked at the woman who just arrived, she had green hair and red armor covering her body, revealing her arms and lower legs. His whole body filled with an almighty rage. "Nice to see you again Lloyd, I trust you remember me."

"YOU!" he exclaimed, he felt like he was going to attack, even with no weapon whilst she had a whole army of Cruxis soldiers. But he remembered Sheena, she was too vulnerable and would be the one to pay if he did attack. "How dare you show your face to me again, after you...you..." he couldn't say it, his eyes were full of tears and anger.

"Killed your parents, Kratos and Anna." She finished for him. "It was easy, they were after all, traitors of Cruxis."

"W-What?" Lloyd was perplexed. "Don't lie about my parents!" he yelled, forcing himself not to attack for Sheena's sake.

"You don't know?" she laughed, enjoying every moment of Lloyd's suffering, "Your mother and father never told you why they were moving lots? Never told you who they were? Didn't Lucrus ever tell you either, even after we killed your parents, he never came to tell you?"

"W-what do you mean? You killed Lucrus along with my parents!"

"Huh? Do you think a part of the Angelus Project could die so easily?"

"Angelus Project?"

She laughed her hardest yet, "Oh don't tell me you weren't even told about the Angelus Project. You're a part of it after all." Lloyd continued to look puzzled and shocked. "Oh well, we have no time for that, I'm sure you'll find out once we return to base." She turned to the soldier holding Sheena, "Let the girl go, we have who we need."

The soldier looked as if he'd lost a treat, "As you wish Lady Pronyma." And he grudgingly let her go.

Sheena really wanted to help Lloyd, but if she had tried to stop them, they may attack her, which would have meant Lloyd would try to help her, and would've gotten himself hurt. It seemed the only way Lloyd wouldn't get hurt, is to let him get taken without hassle. She started to cry, he was doing this for her. Her first true friend who saw her as another person, not as a princess, or someone with a good figure, but for who she really was, was being taken away from her forever.

Lloyd's hands and feet were shackled, so he couldn't escape if he wanted to, but a weird sound that he'd never heard before. He saw a strange vehicle flying towards him, with someone riding it. Lloyd rubbed his eyes to see if he was really seeing who he thought he saw. Lucrus.

Suddenly 2 shuriken came out of nowhere, cutting his shackles. He turned to see more shuriken making a path towards Sheena, where the soldiers must have dodged them.

Realising the only chance he had, he ran towards Sheena yelling, "Sheena, grab hold!" He grabbed her around the waist and jumped, praying his calculations were correct.

He felt an arm grab his free 1 and they were flying off into the distance.

"Damn that Lucrus, always interfering." Pronyma said to herself staring into the sky. All the other soldiers were shocked, wandering how they could just let him escape like that. "Oh well, it's only a matter of time now, they are both together, and we have Presea. All 3 will be under Cruxis control soon. We know Lloyd's weakness, that girl, and when we have him, Lucrus will have to join. Now how to lure out the girl, Lloyd will probably keep close eye on her now we know of her."

In the bushes, Kuchinawa was pocketing leftover shuriken, "I'm not sure what's going on her Princess Sheena, but I will protect you to the..." he was cut short when a soldier in red rendered him unconscious.

"Lady Pronyma!"


Well there you are hope you like it. Where will Lucrus take them, and surly Sheena has more questions to ask Lloyd that could jeopardise their friendship. And what will happen to Kuchinawa? Find out next time.
