"Out of the many things I've learned in my life, one was...to survive. We being humans long and strive to survive. This thought is what makes us such formidable fighters, and warriors. Three things my master taught when fighting, was...one never let your guard down, two always be alert, and three fight for what you believe in. But, what happens when the thing you believe in is wrong? I asked my master that question, he just smilied and said, "Sometimes the things people believe are right, are actually wrong...but what is wrong and what is right?" I was confused by that, but now I know...after Alicia...I understand what he meant, I still won't forgive myself for that day, even if it was right, it still felt...so very wrong. What happens when your fight a foe who has no morals? No right or wrong, just what they'll benefit from it? How could any being be so cruel and cold? I then look at myself and wonder am I not like that? Cold as ice...no, this thing...this monster, is worse. Is it out of vengence of Mithos's defeat? Or is it just...himself. I do not know what'll happen in these tryign times, I hope though, no, I pray that no one will perish, like Mithos."

:Luin:

The incessant tapping given off by Zelos's gloved finger was starting to seriously annoy Raine, who was still waiting for the transmission from Yuan. It wasn't like him to be late with this sort of thing. The tapping ensued and Ranie glowered at Zelos who, seeing the half-elven professors expression smiled slightly and he waved, which prompted Raine to use her "stare of death" and he immediately stopped, and turned away. Zelos sighed, and twirled a couple of strands of his bright red hair around his index finger. Lloyd pushed out his chair and jumped up causing everyone else to jump as well and look at him.

"What's taking him so long!" Lloyd yelled vehemently as he stormed over to the transmission device, which worked in both worlds, even if you were in Tethe'alla. It's ability to match up mana signatures, so that a picture of the one you connected to showed on it's medium sized screen, still baffled most, no one really knew who came up with this device, but they had it during the Great War, and it helped a great deal in aiding armies. Regal sighed as he looked at the young man who was always a bit too impatient.

"Lloyd, what're you doing? You know what Yuan said, he'd call us always, not the other way around." The older blue haired man said.

"Who cares about that? I just wanna finish this, now! If we keep sitting here we'll never get anyway!"

"Chill out, bud. It's not like anyone is going to use the exspheres anyway." Zelos said leaning back on his chair. Lloyd growled in irritation

"MY NAME ISN'T BUD, DAMN IT!" Zelos just laughed, but was promptly hit on the head again by Raine's staff. He held his head in pain.

"Ow! What did I do now!" he said indignantly.

"That's enough you two, I can't concentrate with all this noise! So be good children and be quiet!"

"Only if I get something in return…how about it, professor?" Zelos looked at Raine with eager eyes. He was immediately bashed on the head again with Raine's staff.

"Don't even try it, Zelos Wilder." Raine said as she returned to her assessment of the world map, leaving Zelos in tremendous pain.

"I…don't need this." He whispered, still holding his now throbbing head.

:Slyvarant Base:

The once notorious base, of the evil half elves now lay silent in its sandy desert kingdom. It ruled over all, it's massive dome structure blotting out the sun to all those who approached to near. But, the once lively base now lay in a dormant state and nothing was heard. A deep silence ran through the blue metal plated walls. Only the generators, which were used for lighting and cooling systems was heard, but even that didn't stand up to the vacant soundless void which now surrounded the base. A huddled figure lay on the floor, motionless. The figure was still breathing, but his intake of each breath wasn't noticeable at all. A figure draped in all black, stood over the crumpled form and licked a bloodstained knife. He smiled.

"It's been awhile…Yuan." The figure stated turning around and looking at the richly decorated room. A beeping noise and a flashing light made the figure walk over to the desk, he smiled.

"Looks like you have a call." He said, looking back at Yuan's fallen figure, he was of course unresponsive. The figure just shrugged, and laughed.

"Oh well! Looks like I'll have to answer…for you!" he said laughing.

:Luin:

The screen finally, after being static for about five minutes, changed to a deeply decorated room, and in front of it all was a blue haired half-elf. Lloyd, being impatient as he was, sighed as Yuan came on screen.

"What took you so long? What the hell happened anyway?" Lloyd asked in an angry tone. Yuan just smiled and shrugged his shoulders.

"Something…came up. I had to deal with it, but now that that's over I'll tell you your next destination. I might even meet you there." Everyone looked at each other at Yuan's last comment.

"You? Mister I'm too good to help you, is coming to help…us?" Zelos said incredulously.

"If that isn't the biggest load of…" Zelos was cut short by a quick knock on the head with the professor's staff.

"OW! What the hell! I didn't do anything, professor." He said in a whiny voice.

"That language isn't acceptable, Zelos. Now, Yuan please continue." Raine said in a calm voice, looking over at the fuming Zelos.

"Well, the coordinates show that the next large deposits of exspheres would be in the remnants of the Asgard Human Ranch."

"Really? I thought we got rid of all those…hmmm well, I suppose we should get going then." Lloyd said getting up but was promptly back in his chair, by the professor pulling on this collar.

"Hold on. Are you sure about this, Yuan? We did destroy the ranch I'm sure not too many exspheres are left…maybe we should save that for a later time." Raine suggested, Regal nodded in agreement, and Lloyd just tapped his foot impatiently.

"Come on professor! It doesn't matter! I just wanna get rid of these horrible things…now!" Lloyd said abruptly getting back up, but was pushed down again, by Colette this time. Yuan's laughter could be heard from the screen.

"No need to be hasty Lloyd, fine go to the forest around Lake Umacy, I'm getting something from there too." Yuan said. Everyone nodded, and got up.

"Alright! Finally! Let's go, let's go!" Lloyd said excitingly.

"I'll be meeting you there shortly." Yuan said, to the only one who was apparently listening, the professor.

"Are you sure? You never usually seem so…happy. Why do you insist on coming now?" Raine asked a look of suspicion on her face. Yuan put his hands defensively.

"It's…it's nothing like that professor. It's just so boring in this cramped base, I might as well as get some fresh air, you know?" All right, this isn't normal…something is wrong here. Yuan wanting fresh air… Since when was that ever a factor for him leaving the base? If that isn't the lamest excuse I've ever…

"Professor! Come on we're leaving now!" Colette said cheerfully. The professor looked at the screen, which was now blank. She held out her hand as if to stop the already leaving group.

"Ah! W-Wait a minute! Something isn't right here!" she said desperately, trying to get someone's attention, but failed miserably. She sighed and ran a hand through her hair.

"It's okay…everything will be alright. Uh sometimes I wish Kratos was here…then they'd listen, of course he was somewhat of a dictator in these sorts of things…'" She shook her head.

"What am I saying? Arrrgh, I know something is wrong…but what?" The professor whispered to herself as the group made its way to Lake Umacy.

:Lake Umacy:

The sun glinted off the lakes calm waters. As Lloyd and Genis came around the bend of the U-shaped Lake they remembered old times, where Sheena had first joined their group.

"Brings back memories doesn't it, Genis?" Lloyd asked looking up through the thick overlapping leaves of trees. Genis just looked at his friend, and nodded. They were here once before, when they rescued a unicorn that was trapped under a fallen tree under water. A loud cracking noise made both friends spin around, Lloyd instinctively pulled out his dual swords, and Genis took out his kendama. A blue haired figure walked out from the shadows of the trees, his large double bladed sword glinting in the sun's rays.

"Y-Yuan…what're you doing here?" Lloyd asked in a confused tone, as he looked at Genis who just shrugged his shoulders. Yuan smiled, and twirled his butterfly sword skillfully around his body.

"I came here…to do…something." He said staring at Lloyd, and smiling.

"Lloyd…I have a bad feeling about this, something isn't right. Yuan…something's wrong with him." Genis whispered to Lloyd who raised an eyebrow.

"He seems perfectly…" Lloyd was cut short as Yuan launched himself forward. The clang of metal against metal reverberated through the quiet forest

A few feet away, Zelos, Sheena, and Raine turned toward were the sound was coming from. Sheena was holding a rock over her head about to drop it on Zelos, but she put it down and listened.

"You hear that?" she asked, looking at Raine who's eyes narrowed.

"I knew something wasn't right about…him." Raine whispered to herself. Zelos looked at her with an inquiring eye.

"What was that? What're you mumbling to yourself, professor?" he asked, but Raine was already running toward the noise, Sheena in pursuit.

"H-Hey! Wait up!" and Zelos ran to catch up with the two women. All six of them met near the lake, Regal, Colette and Presea had worried looks on their faces.

"You heard it too then? It must be Lloyd…and Genis." Colette said.

"I swear that kid has the worst luck." Zelos said laughing, but stopped as Sheena hit him.

Lloyd was being pushed back across the soft dirt, as he tried to hold off Yuan, who was laughing.

"Yeah, you're right…something is wrong." Lloyd said through clenched teeth as he fought of the blue haired half elf. Genis had moved out of the way, and was now summoning his deadly thunder blade spell. They fought and defeated Yuan before, so now was no different. Yuan jumped back, away from Lloyd, and began a series of quick direct strikes, which had Lloyd defending, his sword rattling in his hands.

"Genis, hurry!"

"Hold on, just a bit more Lloyd!" Genis yelled back seeing Lloyd wasn't winning. Yuan then disappeared and reappeared right in front of Genis, who taken by surprise fell backwards, onto the ground. Yuan raised his butterfly sword up and struck down on the ground sending rock, and debris flying everywhere. Genis had used his force field guarding attack and wasn't hurt. Yuan grunted with anger, and turned around and parried Lloyd's sword rain technique. Yuan swung his sword with extreme strength, which Lloyd never knew the half-elf had, causing Lloyd to be flung to the right, and he crashed into a tree. Lloyd fell to the ground; out of breath from get the wind knocked out of him, by Yuan's unsuspected attack. Yuan walked forward, laughing.

"Is that all you've got…Lloyd Irving. I'm surprised; this was the great warrior who killed Mithos Yggdrasill? It pains me to say that you're time is up…goodbye." Yuan raised his sword above Lloyd's fallen figure but in that instant a bean of water came flying in from the right, crashing into and sending Yuan into the now alert forest.

"Lloyd! Lloyd! Are you alright!" Colette asked running up to him. Lloyd looked at her groggily, and tried to stand up. Everyone ran toward him and Genis who was now beginning inspected by Raine for any injuries.

"Uhhh, y-y-yeah, I'm okay. What the hell is up with Yuan?"

"That…is not Yuan!" A strangely familiar voice rang out, everyone turned around in surprise to find an unsuspected helper.

TO BE CONTINUED! WHAHA I HEART CLIFF HANGERS:D
