Ok, I know I only came back, but I'm going on holiday AGAIN. So after this, I'm not gonna be updating for at least another week. If you are also reading An Altamira Tale, I'm afraid I won't have time to update it before I leave. Well anyway, on to what I hope will be a lot better fight scene.
"Just what are you getting out of this Zelos?" asked Sheena, "You're rich enough, being the dukes son."
"Well my sweet voluptuous princess," he started, "for one thing, me and all my family won't be harmed when Cruxis attack. But the main thing..." he licked his lips greedily, "I get you."
Both Sheena and Lloyd were completely surprised by this, "What's Sheena ever done to you?" Lloyd questioned angrily.
"Oh nothing, except plague my dreams since we first met! I've wanted her to be mine for years! Then you come in and just take her away from me!"
"What do you mean!" Sheena yelled, "I was never yours in the first place."
"You could've been. Your laws say you must marry a noble, and guess what? I'm the only one of the right age for you! It was a clear path for me."
"You'd let the world be destroyed, just so you can have what you can't!" Stormed Lloyd."
"Shut up! She is MINE!"
Lloyd felt anger flow through him. He started to charge at him, but a wave of energy flung in front of him. He turned to see Presea, readying her axe again.
"Your fight..." she said mechanically, "...is with me."
"Don't worry Lloyd." Said Sheena, "Like I said, I'll handle this perverted freak." With that, she charged, but Zelos blocked with his sword.
"Very good." Zelos complimented, "Lets see how you handle this!" he forced her away, and thrust his sword forward.
At the last minute, she jumped, landed on top of the sword, and kicked him hard in the face, sending him flying backwards, and crashed into the wall.
"Looks like I have to actually work for this one," he mused. He forced himself up, and planned his next move.
All this time, neither Lloyd nor Presea had moved from their stance, waiting for each other to make the next move. Suddenly, they both charged, swinging their weapons at each other. When they landed, they both had cuts, right along their cheeks.
'Great, she's really strong!' he thought, 'This isn't going to be easy.'
Presea, however, seemed unaffected, "You are afraid," she said, "Fear is a useless emotion that holds you back."
At this Lloyd grew angry, "Anger is also a useless emotion." She said.
Like before, a gold aura surrounded Lloyd, and he performed the attack that finished off Kuchinawa.
Both Sheena and Zelos were distracted from their battle, just staring in awe at the power Lloyd possessed.
It horror struck the couple when Presea just slashed it away with ease.
'No way!' though Lloyd, devastated, 'That was my strongest attack, and my Exsphere should have increased its power by loads.'
Zelos took advantage of Sheena being distracted by slashing her short sword out of her hand.
"Ha!" he cheered, "Try winning without that!"
"If you insist." She replied.
Zelos tried to slash her again, but Sheena just side stepped it, and started to attack him with an onslaught of punches, each one hitting him square in the stomach. She pulled back her right arm, and swung it as hard and as fast as she could at his face.
"This can't be." He tried to spurt out, coughing up blood as he did so, "How can I be losing to a chick."
Seeing he was unable to move, Sheena picked up her weapon, and ran towards the other pair of warriors.
"SHEENA STAY BACK!" he yelled, having his swords held in an X shape, barely holding off Presea's last lunge.
"But..." she tried to argue back.
"This is my fight! Don't interfere!" he tried to sound as if he could beat this girl, but he knew she was too powerful for him, and he didn't want Sheena to get hurt.
Using all his strength, he managed to force her away. He was panting, sweating, he couldn't last much longer.
In one last plea for success, he tried his best attack again, but putting more effort into it, but she just slashed it aside again. This time, however, he was ready for this, and was running just behind his energy wave. He jumped, and using the rest of his strength, slashed both his swords horizontally.
He collapsed as he landed, hoping his plan worked. Right behind him, blood was pouring from Presea's chest.
"Mission failed." Was all she said, before falling face forward...dead.
"It worked!" Lloyd cheered, quietly, before falling unconscious.
"LLOYD!" Sheena yelled, running towards him.
But before she reached his body, a figure appeared in front of her, and smacked her away.
"Well, well, well." Said a familiar voice, "He actually won, oh, well. At least we have him."
Sheena looked up. Standing over Lloyd, was Pronyma. "YOU!" she yelled, getting back to her feet and charging. "Get away from him you bitch!"
Before she even started to swing her weapon, Pronyma, caught her arm, and flung her away.
"How touching," she taunted, "The girlfriend wants to protect her love. Well excuse me while I throw up. Oh and tell Zelos, our deal's off" And before Sheena could do anything else, she warped away, carrying Lloyd with her laughing maniacally.
"LLOYD NOOOOO!" She yelled, running to the spot they were just a few minutes before. She fell to her knees, and sobbed uncontrollably. "No..."
Anger started to well up inside her. "ZELOS!" she yelled. She ran to where his body lay, picked him up by the collar and demanded, "WHERE DID THEY TAKE HIM? WHERE?" When he didn't answer, she hit him hard in the face. A breaking sound told her his nose had broken. "TELL ME!"
"But..." he tried to say.
Sheena dropped him, "If you ever, truly loved me, you'd respect my decision, and tell me where he is." She said.
Zelos didn't even make a sound. But then, "Sheena, I'm so sorry...if I knew, I swear I'd tell you."
Sheena was devastated, "No...NOOOOO!" She ran, ran as fast as she could through the corridor, down the stairs, but tripped. She was crying uncontrollably, not wanting to move.
She raised her head just a bit, and saw a very familiar small, coloured cube. 'One of the flying machines that Lucrus used to get us to...' then it clicked, "the Renegades!" she shouted in glee.
She picked up the small cube, ran outside, let loose the machine, and flew off in the direction of the Triet dessert. 'I'm not exactly sure where it is,' she thought, 'but I'll search the entire dessert if I have to."
There you go! Lloyd's taken, and you all have to wait a whole week before you see what happens. Kind of makes me glad I'm going abroad, in case you all some how find out where I live and come and kill me. Please review.
