Woo! I lied in my profile... XD I couldn't help myself it seems once I start writing I just can't stop! Like pringles once you pop the fun don't stop! Hahaha! Uh well, one more chapter left :'( aw it's so sad, This story brings back memories of last year when I was writing when I was supposed to be studying for midterms, haha. Yeah Lloyd and Mithos have little convo's bold italics Lloydie This is our crazy Cruxis leader :D I like using latin...Uhm translantions Niveus vesica is whtie sword, you know those rainbow things that hang from Lord Yggdrasill arms I always thought they were like weapons but they aren't and I wanted them to be, so they are now. I'm so creative, right? Haha I wish. Another Translation Niveus pluvial white rain yeah I dunno where that came from, and the song Laura has no idea...this chapter man it makes you feel for Phanos I swear he's like satanic or something, what's wrong with me?

"And as a deep unrelenting darkness descended upon the land, all hope was lost for redemption. For within the hearts of all who stood there nothing was left but pity and anger. Do not falter my dear people for I, the Goddess shall bring life back to the battle stricken Earth, and all shall be cleansed once more. The people rejoiced but three were left mourning two of which accepted the fate of the one they loved, the other, the other was stricken with a deep burning hatred for all human kind, every kind, even those who did not partake in the Great War. A half elven boy with blonde hair, and crystal blue eyes, was left crying in the newly rain sodden earth. Be at peace my dear brother for I shall always be watching out for you, do not let your heart falter."
His laughter rang out through the field as a cool wind caused everyone's hair to fly out behind them. Phanos smirked wiping blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand.

"Is that all you can do, Mithos? You jest if you think you can be me like that. What's the matter your little pawn not pumping out enough mana for you? Or, is it that you relied on others for so long you forgot how to fight?" Phanos asked laughing again as a bolt of lighting shot towards him from a white haired half elf, the man dematerialized just as the bolt crashed down into the place he was standing. He reappeared a few feet away.

"Imbecile do you learn nothing!" Phanos hissed his eyes flashing. Mithos's eyes narrowed.

"It's best if you give up now Phanos, without your little pet you're nothing." The Cruxis leader replied. Phanos snorted in contempt.

"Don't make it sound like you know anything…ANYTHING ABOUT ME!" Phanos cried rushing forward Solastia and Lunastia clenched in his hands, he struck downward at Mithos with both swords, but the blonde was too fast and had managed to get around Phanos's back Phanos's eyes widened in surprise as he slashed through not Mithos but an image of the former Cruxis leader he snarled and spun around seeing the real Mithos was behind him, Mithos spun on one heel as he kicked the man in the ribs, sending him skidding across the dirt ground. Phanos clutched his bloodied side, he panted falling onto one knee and then broke out into a fit of coughing, red liquid oozed through his hand, which was over his mouth it splattered to the floor like a red crimson rain shower. Phanos barely got a laugh in before he began coughing again, he rose shakily to his feet, his boots leaving marks in the fresh green grass. The shadows being casted off by the Chaos Tree bathed everyone in a sinister darkness. Phanos removed his hand and wiped it on his black pants. Everyone stood there silently.

"Why are you just standing there! You could've ended this already and yet you stand there like mindless zombies!" Phanos cried out everyone's eyes widened.

"Mr Kratos, he looks like…" Colette whispered holding her hands together, Kratos turned to the young girl.

"He looks like he's in pain, right chosen?" Kratos murmured tending to his wounds, since Phanos was occupied with his other half. Colette nodded, she turned to the mercenary, Kratos looked up, and the girl had a look of deep concern on her face.

"Lloyd…"Colette whispered, everyone who was watching the fight gasped Colette and Kratos turned to were Mithos and Phanos were he stared intently at Mithos Mithos you better not get my son killed, Mithos was being held by the throat by Phanos whose arm had a nasty gash on it. Despite his position Mithos turned his head to Kratos. Don't worry Lloyd is safe. Kratos stared his eyes filled with surprise at the fact that he could hear Mithos's reply in his head.

"You're using that boy as a pawn as well, aren't you oh great Lord Yggdrasill. Sucking up every ounce of his mana just to help you gain more power…you damned bastard." Phanos hissed his grip getting harder on the half elf's throat, Mithos gagged and gasped for air, but none was getting to his deoxygenated lungs. His chest was ablaze with a fiery hot pain, and his vision was going dark. Phanos smiled.

"That's right, feel the pain, and feel all the pain of those you caused to suffer. All the pain I suffered!" He growled, as his grip got even tighter, Mithos had stopped struggling by now his hair fell over his ashen face covering his sweat streaked and pained expression.

"Get away from him you monster! Gravity Well!" Genis cried out holding up his kendama. Phanos let Mithos drop to the floor in a crumpled heap as he jumped out of the diameter of the half circled gravity well attack. Genis ran forward towards the blonde half elven boy.

"Mithos! Wake up! Mithos!" Genis cried out falling onto his knees and shaking Mithos by the shoulder. Phanos watched in amusement, he turned around and saw the black trunk of the massive Chaos Tree, its twisted roots intertwined with the Great Tree. He smiled gently placing a marble white hand on the trees trunk. A cry of pain made his gaze turn towards a young woman in green and black with green hair. The black tentacle like roots had wrapped themselves around her yet again. Phanos sighed as his hand dropped limply to his side; he began to walk forward shaking his head.

"Martel, Martel, Martel, what are we going to do with you? You seem overly ambitious for a planet that's doomed to be swallowed in its own misery, doomed to destroy themselves that's what they are." Phanos's eyes narrowed as he moved closer to the struggling goddess he placed a cold white hand around her chin, lifting her head up so she was directly looking at him.

"I guess, I could spare you you'd make a lovely partner seeing at how much mana you intake, I'd gain an unlimited supply." Phanos smiled but it was quickly erased as he felt a hand with a titan like grip clasp around his ankle causing pain to shoot up his leg, his head shot downward to a blue haired half elf, Phanos in one swift motion bent down grabbed Yuan by the neck and raised him up above his head.

"Annoying, why do you bother anymore? Do you like to suffer and for what the Martel you once knew isn't there anymore anyway so why not…just give up?" he asked, Yuan panted his back bloodied and he had deep dark circles under his eyes, his face was a pasty white. Yuan panted and closed his eyes wearily.

"M-Martel…is still, still there…Martel is alive somewhere." Yuan's voice was barely above a whisper Phanos sneered as he tossed the half elf into the trunk of the Great Tree where he laid unmoving his chest rose and fell unsteadily. Phanos turned his back to Lloyd's group he tilted his head back and let a wave of dark mana encompass his body.

"Angel Feathers!" the voice of the blonde haired chosen cried out, Phanos spun around but the chakrams were way too fast for him to summon any weapon, he prepared for the onslaught by putting up his arms in defense. A giant wall of black tendrils wrapped around him making him look like a black hole in the scenery the charkams flew into the roots of the Chaos Tree sending bits and pieces every which way as they fell to the floor causing it to smoke and turn a deep black. The remaining two chakrams which were Colette's originals flew to the sides of the great mass of roots and cut into the black onyx bark of the Chaos Tree, Colette caught them a few feet away the roots swayed a bit and then returned to the ground with a loud crackling noise of the earth beneath Phanos's feet being shifted, Colette's face was etched with determination. Kratos stood to her left his face emotionless, and to her right was Regal and Presea. Phanos turned back to the tree he looked up at its bright red branches, which looked like they pulsed with the blood of so many victims of pointless wars and fighting.

"Vos did non have decoctum vestri navitas tutela mihi ego can servo myself perficio in meus own." Phanos said harshly as if talking back to the tree, his eyes narrowed in anger. Regal turned to Kratos whose eyes looked at Phanos in puzzlement.

"Kratos that's angelic right?" Kratos nodded solemnly.

"But, who is he talking to?" Colette asked looking at Phanos.

"The tree. It's just like me." Presea replied everyone looked at her.

"Of course…it's just like an empty shell! The Chaos Tree is an empty shell of what the Great Tree was supposed to be." Raine explained.

"Just like Phanos himself." Kratos replied curtly his features stoic.

Genis was still kneeling beside Mithos when the blonde's hand shot up and wrapped around his swore throat, he coughed as he regained his composure. With one eye open the Cruxis Leader scanned the area, his blue eye resting on Lloyd whose eyes were blank he glowed with mana and his exsphere thrummed in his hand.

"Mithos! You're…you're alright!" Genis cried and unexpectedly embraced the other half elf. Mithos stood stunned unable to comprehend what was happening. His vision became white.

Is he…hugging me? This feeling, I haven't felt it for a while.

It's nice isn't it? Mithos's head turned to the boy wearing all red. Lloyd leaned against an unseen wall he turned his head to Mithos and smiled.

To be loved I mean, it's nice you know…to have someone to protect, to know that people are waiting for you to get better when you're sick, but you…you never had that did you? Mithos sighed and looked away he felt his eyes beginning to burn.

I had that just not for a long time that's all I figured if I didn't have it for that long I could just get rid of it, it was pointless anyway, there was no reason any reason for me to live. I'd lost the one thread of humanity left in me, and by beings I knew…I was told never to hate, how does one…cope with that? Mithos spoke as he looked at his hands; they seemed colorless in this little realm in which only he, and now the swordsman shared.

Forgive. That one word made Mithos jerk his head in the boy's direction. Lloyd's eyes were closed.

My father…Dirk I mean used to say that the best way to feel better was to forgive someone, or redeem yourself if you could.

Your father was pretty wise; Kratos is like that too you know. It was Lloyd's turn to look at the half elf that smiled back.

I never saw you smile before it looks good on you.

You think so?

Yeah.

Let me use it just once, so Martel can see me happy again. Just this once.

Yeah…that sounds good I think I can do with that. Mithos turned back to the boy in red.

Thank you.

No problem, just do what you have to do. Lloyd replied turning and smiling at him. Mithos nodded a slight smile on his face.

Mithos's vision returned to normal, a concerned Genis was staring back at him.

"Mithos are you alright?" Genis asked his voice filled with worry, Mithos shook his head and looked at the mage.

"Yeah…I'm fine, just fine." Mithos said getting up and rubbing his throat he stared defiantly at Phanos who had a black aura around him. He turned his head toward the group his eyes glowing red he smiled wickedly.

"Attero lemma sulum permaneo unus of lemma they cuius pectus pectoris es repletus per lux lucis" Phanos said in a monotonous voice his once piercing eyes seemed dull for a second. The ground rumbled as a giant black root shot out from beneath the earthen ground its tentacle like root wrapped around Colette's leg.

"Ahh! Para Ball!" she cried out striking the massive black root but its grip did not weaken. Mithos's eyes narrowed and he rushed forward he changed into his angelic form, with the rainbow shards hanging down from his gold lined sleeves.

"Niveus vesica!" he cried gripping one of the shards and pulling it out of his sleeve so it formed into a bright-multicolored sword. He slashed at the root, which disintegrated at the mere touch of it, which now had Colette a few feet into the air. Genis ran next to Raine sweat on his brow.

"Colette! Don't worry." Genis cried clutching his kendama close to his chest. Phanos snickered.

"Stupid you think you can defeat my…CHAOS TREE!" He cried his black red tipped wings extending as his body glowed red and tons of roots sprung from the ground they all surged toward Colette and the others in a torrent of deep-pitted blackness. Colette cried as she fell through the air and landed in Mithos's arms he placed her down his once clean face now covered with blood and dirt, he huffed.

"Lighting blade!" Kraots cried out the crackling of lighting was heard a few feet away, the air swam with roots and mana of different elements.

"Triple rage kick! Eagle Fall!" Regal's deep voice cried out as he knocked roots away and flew gracefully through the air.

"Punishment!" Presea cried leaning back on her heels and swinging her ax with perfection at the clump of roots that went towards her. Kratos turned to Raine who was using photon on a group in front of her another set of roots jagged and pointed appeared from behind her poised to strike right through her.

"Raine! Behind you!" Genis cried getting knocked to the side by a black roots, he fell to the ground and stared up at the trees many appendages, he gulped. This can't be the end! No I have to protect my friends! He tried getting up but a sharp pain around his wrists and ankles made he look to either side of himself, there were roots around his ankles and wrists, their grip tightened and Genis gasped as they dug into his skin causing it to become chaffed and red. Mithos spun around his sword slicing through the air and roots, dirt and black bits flew everywhere, he pushed his bangs out of his eyes, he saw the predicament Genis was in and rushed forward.

"Get away from him, Niveus pluvial!" Mithos cried out his hand extended a ball of white light appearing in his open palm, he slammed it into the ground and millions of white beams shot down from the sky hitting the roots, which were now covering Genis completely. The roots immediately burned up in the light.

Kratos spun swinging his sword in an upward arc slashing a root in half, he panted sweat on his brow. Regal landed beside him kicking a nearby root to the side.

"This isn't working we have to stop it at its source." Regal said elbowing a root that was by his shoulder. Kratos nodded. He turned to Raine and Genis the two half elf siblings were supporting Mithos who dodged and disappeared from roots while they used healing and other types of spells.

"Raine Genis!" Kratos cried they both looked at him and nodded.

"Ray!" Raine cried out holding up her staff and a giant ball of white appeared above the mass of roots that kept coming.

"I call upon the in the land of the dead to unleash thy fury of thunder Indignation!" three giant thunder bolts crackled through the air and hit the ground with a thunderous explosion sending rocks and debris everywhere. Phanos turned his head away covering his face with his hand a smile was etched upon his pale white face, his eyes shone with amusement.

"Here we go!" Raine and Genis cried out white light erupting around them.

"Prism Stars!" they both raised their weapons into the air as millions of star shaped orbs flew from all directions colliding with the remaining roots. Phanos tilted his head back and laughed, he turned to them his eyes flashing.

"Fools, the Chaos Tree is not that easily defeated by your…pathetic little attacks." He hissed moving his hand in a half circle motion.

"Iuguolo lemma quod transporto lemma in eternus obscurum" Phanos murmured turning around his cape spinning in the breeze he walked forward towards the ensnared Martel and the Great Tree he smiled as he placed a hand upon the wilted once pure lush tree which was now deadened and dark a charred heap of hopeless purity in a world filled with darkness. He turned to Mithos and Kratos who slashed cutting the roots, which had reappeared, Colette unleashed her angel feather attack but it was to no avail. Genis lashed out with every ounce of mana he could muster and even used physical attacks. Phanos smiled turning to the Goddess whose arms and legs were fully wrapped in branches covered in thorns, they tightened as the man walked closer.

"You see what you've caused, Martel. They're fighting for your sake, for this planets sake. I really don't see the point since the Chaos Tree cannot be stopped once its planted." Phanos shrugged and sighed shaking his head back and forth.

"You know Martel hope isn't a weapon anymore, no nothing can save them absolutely nothing." Phanos stated rather blandly looking at the fighting group with no expression what so ever. He turned his head to the Chaos Tree.

"Perago is they es fatum occumbo ut caliga" The Chaos Tree creaked in the non-existant wind, Kratos and Mithos had finally broken through the mass of roots, they rushed forward.

"Phanos, you bas-" Mithos began saying but was cut short as a red leaf sliced him across the face leaving a thin red line of blood on his dirty face. Kratos looked at Mithos who growled with anger.

"If you hurt Martel I swear I'll rip you limb from limb…" Mithos spoke his voice filled with undeniable rage as his eyes shone brightly for the first time in many years. Kratos looked at his former student with surprise as his crystal gave off a white light as well as well. Phanos laughed.

"You'll do no such thing, since," he placed his hand under Martel's dirt streaked face, "Your precious sister wouldn't want that." Phanos said leering at Mithos.

"Guardian!" Kratos yelled as a mirage of leaves flew about him rebounding off the green mana shield around him. Mithos spun around his sword flying through the air wildly, he cut down as many leaves as possible but they kept coming they sliced through his clothes and skin leaving lines of red on his once pristine figure.

"Mithos!" Martel cried gasping as the thorns dug into her. The blonde haired half elf fell onto one knee panting, and one eye closed.

"Fire ball!" Mithos heard Kratos cry out balls of fire flew past the Cruxis leaders head and crashed into the blood red leaves, leaving only charred fragments. Phanos turned to the Chaos Tree his hand extended.

"Finish them, poison their only source of life…" he stated his bangs falling over his left eye. The Chaos Tree creaked and rumbled a giant old black withered root shot out from beneath the ground, it was different from the rest it look less lively, and it's tip was pointed it zoomed forward towards the Great Tree. Mithos looked back at Kratos who shrugged perplexed at what was about to happen.

"MITHOS! You must stop it!" Martel cried gagging as a root wrapped around her throat.

"Martel!" Mithso ran forward just as the gigantic root slammed into the Great Tree splinting its bark on impact and sending shards skidding and flying across and through the air. Black electricity erupted from the contact point, it was a purplish color the Great Tree sounded like it was moaning, and a tiny black seed was implanted into its bark.

"Look at what's happening!" Genis cried pointing to the trees, Raine gasped.

"No…it, it can't be!" she whispered.

"Professor, what's wrong? What's happening?" Colette asked fear in her voice.

"The tree it's becoming…corrupted." Raine stated as indeed the Great Tree began to turn blackish and its leaves turned a hue of red. Phanos laughed.

"Now witness my true power."

"Navitas adficio" Phanos spoke his eyes shining with amusement, Kratos looked at Mithos whose face was beaded with sweat.

"Energy…drain." He whispered his eyes dulling. It, it can't be!

"AHH!" Mithos spun around to the cry.

"Genis!" Raine cried catching her falling brother his exsphere sparked and crackled as the same colored lighting bolts shot out and around his exspehere, his pained was contorted with pain.

"Raine what's going on, I feel so…so weak." Genis whispered his hand clutching his sister's coat.

"Ugh!" Kratos fell onto one knee his vision going black, then returning, he panted holding up his own hand, which was doing the same as the half elven mage. He cringed as another wave of pain shot through his body. Regal and Presea fell as well, along with Raine and Colette.

"Augh! W-what, what did you do to them!" Mithos cried grasping his exsphere in pain as its colors shifted from red to black, he fell onto his hands and knees his hair falling about him; he changed back into his child like form. Phanos chuckled as he walked over to the blonde haired half elf; he kicked him sending Mithos sprawling onto his back. Phanos placed a booted foot on his chest and pushed down, knocking the air out of Mithos's lungs. He leered down at him a wicked smile across his face, he turned to Kratos who held his hand to his chest he was sweating and his breath was coming out in short shallow gasps.

"Amazing isn't it? What a tiny little seed can do." Phanos stated calmly looking at the fallen warriors before him.

"The energy drain technique of my Chaos Tree, it's very advanced, I truly must flatter myself with my genius on this one. You see the energy drain attack takes the pure mana of the Great Tree and converts it to well dark mana. Your bodies never being exposed to such high amounts of it expel it rapidly, sending it back to the source, the Great Tree. You lose all your energy, and become so drained you can barely move. But you angels have it the worst, see your bodies have had mana coursing through them since the beginning you hurt the most since you need it the most, being around mana for four thousand years isn't as good as one once thought, right Mithos?" Phanos asked laughing as he pushed down on Mithos's chest, Mithos couldn't reply since he had no air he coughed trying to get away, but he was too weak, he heard a sickening crack.

"Oh looks like I broke one of your ribs, sorry about that." Phanos said smiling evilly at Mithos whose face had blanched.

"Mithos!" Genis cried pitifully, he tried to get up but his legs wouldn't support him. Mithos turned his head to the side where he saw the roots, which were wrapped, around his sister's figure. He held up one arm. Martel…I'm I'm so sorry I couldn't protect you…again. He felt his arm land limply by his side.

"Augh!" Zelos cried as he looked at his chest, he eyes wide.

"Zelos you're exsphere!" Sheena said worriedly.

"Not a problem babe, just a little…" His wings disappeared and his grip on Sheena gave out.

"Zelos! Wake up! Zelos!" Sheena cried as the fell through the air, Kharlan moved away quickly as the ground below them seemed to become increasingly clearer.

"I summon thee come Sylph!" the three fairies appeared around the two and they flew around them in a circle creating a sort of air platform, Sheena looked down at Zelos his arm went to his exsphere which turned red to black, and his brow knitted in pain.

"Mar-Martel." Yuan whispered his whole body racked with pain as he pulled himself out from underneath the Great Tree. Martel was nearby suspended in the air by the roots; her dress had red spots on it from the blood of the thorns. She opened one eye and smiled at Yuan.

"Yuan. You shouldn't be moving." Martel replied, the blue haired half elf laughed.

"I-I have to get you out. You can help everyone, right?" Yuan asked his throat closing up as another wave of pain went through his already shattered body, he stopped his crawl to his once past love and he fought back tears, he panted as he turned to the man who had done this to them, his friends.

"Of course, I, I don't have any power left Yuan. It's all gone the Tree, the Tree is dead." Martel replied tears streaming down her face; Yuan used his thumb to wipe them away.

"No, there's still hope. Everyone still has hope, you can use that, and my mana." He replied Martel looked at him worried.

"You might, die though Yuan." He sighed as he took out a dagger, he was too weak to use his sword, and he began cutting through the roots. He let out a shaky sigh.

"I don't mind, as long as you're safe, I'll be fine." He responded softly as he cut through the last root, he fell to the ground the grass touching his smooth cheek. Martel got up, Phanos turned furious.

"You just don't know when to give up, do you!" he cried stepping off of Mithos. Martel narrowed her eyes.

"Leave my little brother…ALONE!" her staff appeared and she held it forward a beam off light blasted forth from it streaking through the air missing Phanos by a mere inch and a half, he snarled as he rolled to one side, Lunastia forming in his hand.

"You bitch! You can't do anything for them anymore, their mana is all gone as well as their lives, they're all dead!" Phanos hissed as another beam of light whizzed past his head, he felt the heat of it as he dodged it they were getting increasingly closer.

"Never! I will not let them die!" Martel cried holding up her staff, the sky was cleared by white beams of light, the shadows casted by the Chaos Tree were swallowed up by the Sun's rays, Phanos looked around him angry. Martel opened her mouth and a melody clear and high sprung forth. Mithos's eyes shot open as well as Yuan's

"That song!" they both whispered.

"Darkest skies recede once more, your time of night is no more.

Return you shadows from where you came.

The angels up high its now their time to reign.

Be still all you with woeful hearts children who fear the deepest dark.

For in your heart a light doesn't wane.

The light of the blue sky of pleasure not pain.

Sing me a symphony for the blue sky and a blue-skied symphony for all who have died.

Sing me a blue-skied symphony for the world and all its pain.

A symphony for all those whose hearts have waned, return their hearts relieve their pain.

Oh, come you angels from heaven above; sing me a symphony for the crystal blue heavens above.

As the sun returns to the planet once more the symphony has ended the darkness no more.

So sing me a symphony for that great blue sky, a symphony in which all evil shall die."

The various entities that resided in Martel sang, their voice melting together to form the perfect pitch and rhythm. Phanos gasped as the dark daunting cloud given off by his Chaos Tree dissipated. He narrowed his eyes s the white light of the sun beat down upon the land once again he ran forward.

"You think a song can do anything!" He cried thrusting his sword forward, but it clanged against another piece of metal. Yuan stood in front of Phanos his giant butterfly sword in front of him he knocked Phanos away. Yuan spun his sword around him expertly and ended with it pointing straight at Phanos. Phanos looked about everyone was getting up, his eyes widened.

"How! How can this be!" He cried looking at the Chaos Tree it's roots around the Great Tree unfurled and the black seed within the Great Tree fell to the floor withering away and disappearing into the lush green ground. From the corner of his eye Phanos saw Mithos, in his child form, rush forward sword in his hand, Phanos smiled.

"I might not kill you like this, but if I kill your vessel then you'll die as well!" Phanos cried his wings unfolded and he sprinted forward.

"Lloyd!" Kratos cried jumping up he began to run forward, but Yuan stopped him.

"What're you doing Yuan! Get off of me!" Kratos snarled, Yuan shook his head and point to Mithos who was standing still.

He's coming toward you, you know.

Yeah, I know.

You might die.

It's for the planet though, right and my friends and my dad.

Yes, it is. I suppose we could, end it together?

Sounds like it could work, but using it is a great risk to both of us.

Don't worry I promised Kratos I wouldn't let you die.

That's ever so comforting Lloyd replied as Mithos laughed.

He does get annoying sometimes though.

Well that's how fathers are.

Indeed they are.

"Die Lloyd!" Phanos cried jumping into the air his sword above his head, Lloyd dulled eyes flashed with life again and his hands went to his hilts. Phanos's eyes widened. Lloyd looked up.

"I'm sorry." He withdrew both swords and they made a sickening thud as they made contact with Phanos's stomach.

"Lloyd!" Colette cried stepping forward. Genis looked around.

"Mithos…"

"Augh!" Phanos cried blood spewing from his mouth Lunastia fell to the floor and his arms did as well. He fell into Lloyd his eyes half shut.

"You-you little bastard," he coughed blood coming out of his mouth again it splashed to the floor with a sickening sound. "You, tricked me…" he whispered Lloyd looked at him and pushed him away ripping out both swords, Phanos stopped with the last of his energy he held both wounds, as he looked at Lloyd defiantly.

"He's not dead yet!" Regal exclaimed Genis turned to his sister who was clutching her staff tightly. Mithos appeared from behind Lloyd the eternal sword in his hands.

"Be sealed eternally you who lack emotion! Eternity bond!" Mithos swung the sword with surprising grace given his size, and the size of the sword and a multicolor chain appeared in the air it wrapped around Phanos and a blast of energy shot him into the trunk of the Great Tree, where he laid there bloodied and defeated.
