And I'm back. Thanks for all you're reviews, and hope you enjoy.
Lloyd sat there, watching as Yggdrasil advanced towards him. 'No. I can't lose. Why did I bet Sheena? I'm gonna lose her.' His thoughts were controlling him, making him feel worse, stopping him from even trying to move away.
"You were doomed the moment you were used as a project Lloyd." He sneered; he was now standing directly over him. He raised his sword, point down, over his head. "The girl was doomed as soon as she met you, but don't worry," he laughed, "I'll take good care of-AHHHH!" he yelled in pain mid sentence. A loud clanking showing he dropped his sword.
Yggdrasil turned his head to see Sheena, still leaning against the wall, with her arm outstretched. He looked down, to see a crimson short sword stuck in his back. "You bitch!" he yelled.
Suddenly, Lloyd burst into new life. He rammed into the distracted Yggdrasil, sending him back a few feet. He charged, ready for a vertical strike.
Infuriated, Yggdrasil caught his hand, stopping the attack, and through him towards the wall where Sheena was.
"Lloyd, no!" she managed to say, as he slid right down next to her.
Yggdrasil slowly pulled out Sheena's blade out of his back, then threw it to the side, glaring at the two. He picked up his sword, then started to pace slowly towards the fallen couple. "No-one to save you this time." He sneered, as he closed in on them.
With the remaining strength she had left, Sheena rolled onto Lloyd, completely covering his body.
"Sheena...move." Lloyd demanded feebly. Sheena just raised her head, revealing the tears flowing from her eyes, and shook it. She moved her face closer to his, and planted a powerful kiss on his lips, showing all the love she held for him.
"Fine," stated Yggdrasil, "I was gonna have some fun with you first, but I guess I'll kill you now, saves you having to wait to be reunited in the next life." He pulled his sword back, ready to pierce them both through the chest.
"N-No." Stuttered a voice.
Yggdrasil turned, to see Lucrus struggling to move, as if he were in a battle with himself.
'Hmm.' Yggdrasil thought, 'Better finish these two off now. I'm not sure if even I can come front another Angelus Soldier right now.' Returning his sight to Lloyd and Sheena, he thrust his sword directly at them.
"NO!" yelled Lloyd, and the same green shield covered the two, stopping Yggdrasil's attack.
"IMPOSSIBLE!" he yelled, stepping back, "You shouldn't be able to block my attack. NO-ONE SHOULD! All tests proved me stronger than any Angelus Soldier." but a voice spoke inside his head 'They could be so much more powerful.' 'No!' he thought, 'That can't be true!'
After lieing Sheena on the ground, Lloyd began to stand, a golden aura surrounding him. He swung his father's sword horizontally, sending a powerful wave of energy at Yggdrasil.
He tried to block it like before, but its force sent him flying backwards.
'They could be so much more powerful.'Yggdrasil was panicking, he knew what this meant.
"But My Lord," cried a harassed looking woman with brown hair, "They could be so much more powerful if you let them keep their emotions. The data's right there in front of you!""I don't care what you say, or what some data says," answered an irritated Yggdrasil, who was holding a piece of paper, "I want my soldiers to have no emotion!"
"But My Lord!" she argued back, "You want the ultimate warrior, and they can be so much more powerful with their emotions intact."
"My dear Anna, I'd hold my tongue if I were you. If they did have emotions they would show mercy and remorse. They might try to fight against me if they feel too guilty to destroy cities. If they are indeed more powerful, they could be stronger than me, they'd overthrow me. Or is that what you want?"
"Of course not My Lord!" she replied hastily, "I was just stating my views, I didn't mean for it to sound that way. Please forgive me."
"Of course I forgive you my dear Anna. Why, without you, there'd be no Angelus Project without you."
"Damn that Anna!" he said out loud, "Her theories were right!" He readied himself out of pure determination. "I won't be beaten!" he charged.
Lloyd sheathed his swords, which took Yggdrasil completely by surprise. He caught his overgrown sword with his left hand, and smashed it into pieces with the other.
"NO!" Yggdrasil yelled, as he jumped back.
"L-Lloyd?" Lloyd turned to the voice, and saw Lucrus walking towards him.
"Lucrus." He answered gleefully.
"Finish him Lloyd." Ordered Lucrus, "It's time he paid for what he did to us, and our-your parents."
"You're right, and it is ok for you to say our parents Lucrus...my brother." He drew his swords, and charged.
"NOOOO!" Yggdrasil cried out, as Lloyd reached him, and thrust his sword through his chest. "I...can't lose." Was the last thing he uttered, before falling over...dead.
"It's finally over." Lloyd breathed in relief. He felt a hand touch his shoulder. Lucrus was standing behind him.
"Good job." He said, a large grin on his face.
"Thanks." He replied, as he slowly walked towards Sheena, was beaming at him, tears still present in her eyes. "You ok?" he asked worriedly.
She flung her arms round his neck and kissed him passionately, "Course I am you idiot." She then fell asleep, in the safety, and comfort of Lloyd's embrace.
"I'm taking her back to Mizuho." He told Lucrus, as he picked Sheena up.
"W-What about the Angelus Soldiers?" he asked, "They're under your command now."
Without answering him, he spoke to the group of soldiers, "Angelus Soldiers, you will now obey only Lucrus."
"Understood." They all replied.
He turned to Lucrus, who was in a state of shock, "I want you to find a cure for them. Find a way to get their emotions back."
Lucrus was still in too much of shock to answer verbally, but he nodded his head in acceptance. "W-Where are you going to go?" he finally managed to ask.
"I'd like to go to the country side, just relax for the rest of my days...but. I don't want to leave Sheena, and she's the only remaining heir to the throne of Mizuho, so I can't force her to leave her place." He trailed off.
"Well, what ever you do, I wish you good luck, there's a whole new world for you, now Cruxis is dead." He offered him his hand. Being careful not to drop Sheena, he took his brother's hand. "Goodbye, my brother."
"Goodbye." Lloyd was really close to tears.
After what seemed like a lifetime, they released each other's hands, and Lloyd slowly walked away, ready to leave this place, as well as all his terrible memories of Cruxis, behind.
And there you go. There's gonna be an epilogue, but this is pretty much the end. I hope you enjoyed and I hope you review.
