2 years after the death of Yggdrasil, Colette and Lloyd had traveled the world in search of the rest of the exspheres which leads them into something new to deal with.
"Colette, where are we exactly?" Lloyd questioned as he examined the trees around them.
"I'm not quite sure, but I think we are in the Ossa Trail," she said slowly walking ahead of him. Suddenly Colette falls steadily to the ground. Lloyd runs up to her and lifts her head into his arms.
"Are you ok?" he asked caringly.
"Yes she said but I am sure we are in the Ossa Trail now. Look," she said as she pointed to a small red lever on the ground and an extremely deep trapdoor beside it. Lloyd suddenly remembered that Colette had tripped over that same lever the last time they were there.
"Now that brings back old memories," he said as he slowly helped Colette to her feet, "that was when we first met Sheena."
"Ye-"
"Excuse me," a voice interrupted. They quickly turned around to see two young children standing behind them. One of them was a boy with messy blonde hair and about a foot shorter than Lloyd. He had cold looking blue eyes and wore all black clothes and a red robe. He was carrying a humongous object that was twice the boy's size and was covered with a blue sheet. The object was being held by a pole, which the boy was hanging on to.
The other child was a girl with long silky red hair and had beautiful yellow eyes that glistened. She wore a long red kimono with a gold dragon design rapped around it. There was a black belt across her waist with a case tied to the back of it.
"Do you happen to know where we are?" the girl asked with a polite voice and a sweet smile. The boy stood there still staring at Lloyd.
"Yes we do," Colette said, smiling back at her, "This place is called the Ossa Trail but you two shouldn't be here by yourselves. Where are your parents?"
The children were quiet for a moment and then Lloyd broke the silence. "You don't have any parents do you?" he asked.
"That is none of your business," the boy said, pointing at Lloyd and giving him an even dirtier look than before. Suddenly Lloyd noticed that the boy had a blue exsphere on his fist. He looked at the girl's hand it there was a green one there also.
"Excuse me for asking but do you know what you have there on your hand?" Lloyd questioned the boy.
"Yes I do actually. It's called an exsphere but I shouldn't have to tell you that. You have one on your hand also or is it a Cruxis Crystal like the fake angels?" the boy said. Lloyd and Colette stared in shock.
"What do you know about the fake angels?" Colette asked.
"That is none of your concern," the girl said, "Thanks for the information. I think we will be going now." They start to walk past them and Lloyd sticks his arm in front of them.
"I think I will have to insist you tell us," he says. The boy suddenly grabs Lloyd's arm and thrusts him high into the air. Lloyd unleashes the power of the Cruxis Crystal in his hand and his wings are released and he floats back down to the earth beneath him.
The girl digs into her case and slings out two razor fans and crosses her arms. The boy pulls off the blue sheet of the object and reveals the awesome might of his zanbatou's blade.
"If you wish to have our information you will have to fight us for it," the boy says with a bitter tone.
