"Wooooooooooow."

Lloyd stared out at the view from the highest hut on Destiny Island. He was completely awestruck by the view.

"You like it, Lloyd?" Kairi asked, approaching Lloyd. Lloyd looked at her.

"Like it? I love it." Lloyd said. He looked back at the view. "This beats the view of Iselia forest I had from Dirk's house." Kairi looked at Lloyd, confused at what he just said.

"Iselia?" Kairi asked. "But I thought your world was called Symphonia." Lloyd looked at her.

"It is. " Lloyd said, then it hit him. "Oh yeah." He said. "Iselia's the name of a village in Symphonia I grew up near."

"Oh." Kairi replied.

"Hey, Kairi!"

Lloyd & Kairi looked to the source of the voice & saw Tidus, Wakka, & Selphie approach them. Kairi smiled & waved at them.

"Hi guys!" She called. She grabbed Lloyd's arm & ran towards the 3 kids, pulling Lloyd behind her. Everybody looked at Lloyd. He looked at Kairi.

"Lloyd, I'd like you to meet my friends." Kairi said. "These are Tidus, Selphie, & Wakka." She turned to the 3 kids. "Guys, this is Lloyd."

"Hi, Lloyd." Selphie said.

"Pleased to meet ya, Mr. Lloyd." Tidus said, shaking his hand.

"Hi, Lloyd. I'm Wakka." Wakka replied.

"Uhhm hi." Lloyd replied.

"So, where'd you come from, Lloyd?" Tidus asked.

"Uuh, somewhere far away." Lloyd replied.

"Where is this far away place?" Wakka asked.

"I'd prefer not to talk about it right now, okay?" Lloyd asked.

you swordfight?" Lloyd looked at what Tidus was pointing to. Then it came to him.

"Oh." He said. "Yeah, I swordfight. & I'm pretty good at it." Tidus looked up at Lloyd's face & got an evil grin on his face.

"Let's see how good you are." Tidus said. He drew a staff from behind his back. Lloyd sees this & gets the idea immediately. He then gets a grin of his own.

"Alright, Tidus." Lloyd said. The group then walked down the steps of the huts out onto the beach.

"I should probably warn you, Lloyd." Tidus said. "I'm really good with my staff." Lloyd smirked at this.

"Well, we'll soon see how good." Lloyd responded. Soon, the 2 were on the beach, staring at each other, with a 15 foot distance between each person. Selphie, Wakka, & Kairi were watching.

"How good do you guys think Lloyd is?" Selphie asked.

"We'll find out soon enough, Selphie." Wakka replied. Tidus & Lloyd continued staring each other down.

"Ready, Lloyd?" Tidus asked.

"You bet." Lloyd replied.

"Then let's do this." Tidus replied. & with that, the battle began. Lloyd & Tidus charged at each other, ready to attack. When they were within striking distance, Lloyd & Tidus swung their weapons at each other, & caused them to clash. Lloyd swung 1 of his swords at Tidus, but Tidus leapt up & swung his staff down at Lloyd, striking him in the beack of the head, causing him to fall face-first to the sand. Tidus landed behind Lloyd & swung his staff at him. Lloyd reacted in time & rolled outta the way. He leapt to his feet & struck Tidus with his wooden sword.

"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Tidus wailed as the sword struck his back. Everybody stared in awe.

"Wow, Lloyd IS good." Selphie said.

"Yeah." Kairi said. "He seems hard to beat." Tidus & Lloyd continued their duel. Tidus was beginning to feel fatigued.

"Man, this guy's tough." Tidus thought to himself. He then looked at Lloyd over his shoulder, clutched his staff, & smirked evilly. "Time to bring out my very best attack." Lloyd charged at his & readied a swipe, but Tidus leapt into the air & smacked him in the back with his staff.

"AAGH!" Lloyd shouted in pain. He fell forward onto the ground with his face in the sand. Tidus looked back at him & smirked.

"How do you like me now?" Tidus asked. Lloyd just looked back at him with a sneer on his face. "Damn." Lloyd thought to himself. "He uses aerial attacks." He then smirked a little bit. "Well, I guess this means I can use some of my own." He then stood up & turned around to face Tidus. "That was a good move, Tidus." Lloyd said. "But I got some moves of my own."

"Well then, Lloyd." Tidus said. "Let's see them." As if on cue, Lloyd charged at Tidus, & Tidus charged at Lloyd. Tidus leapt into the air, & Lloyd did the same.

"TEMPEST!" Lloyd shouted. He rolled up into a ball & his sword stuck out while he was spinning. Tidus didn't expect this & Lloyd struck him multiple times, sending him to the ground. Tidus sat up & looked back at Lloyd.

"Man, he's good." Tidus said. "I gotta watch out for this attack." He turned around & looked back at Lloyd. He then smirked at the swordsman. "He's not doing that attack on me again. I'll just use my spin attack on him." Tidus charged at Lloyd. & Lloyd did the same. Lloyd leapt into the air.

"TEMPEST!" Lloyd shouted. This is exactly what Tidus wanted. The 2 spun towards each other, but Tidus smacked Lloyd's side, sending him back to the sand on his side. Tidus landed on his feet & looked down at him. Lloyd looked up & sneered back.

"Damn." Lloyd said. "I gotta use a different attack." Suddenly, Lloyd knew which attack to use. "Yeah." He said. Lloyd looked up in time to see Tidus bring his staff up to smack Lloyd with it. He brought his staff down, but Lloyd blocked it with his sword. Lloyd then rolled onto his feet & blocked another attack from Tidus.

"BEAST!" Lloyd shouted. He hit Tidus with a shoulder-butt & swiped him with his sword. This pushed Tidus back a couple of feet.

"Ooh, what hit me?" Tidus asked.

"RISING FALCON!" He heard Lloyd shout. He saw Lloyd come down on him with the sword ready to strike him. Tidus tried rolling out of the way, but it was too late. Lloyd struck Tidus with his sword really hard. This lead to Tidus losing all his energy. Kairi then stepped in.

"The fight is over!" She shouted. "Lloyd wins!" Lloyd twirled his swords into the air & caught them. He then put the sword in his scabbards.

"It just wasn't your day, was it?" Lloyd asked. He walked over to Tidus & helped him up. "That was a good fight, Tidus." Lloyd said.

"You're a really good opponent, Lloyd." Tidus said. "But I'm gonna beat you someday." Lloyd smirked at this.

"Well, I better start training for when that day comes." Lloyd said. He then looked to Wakka & Selphie. "Anybody else want some?" Wakka & Selphie then sweatdropped nervously.

"I uuuhhh… " Wakka said. "Think I hear my mom calling." He said, then he ran off.

"Yeah, uhh, me too." Selphie said. She then ran off after him. Lloyd just stared blankly.

"I don't hear anything." Lloyd said. Kairi giggled.

"You're funny, Lloyd." Kairi said. "There mom's weren't actually calling." Lloyd looked at Kari.

"Then why'd they say they heard their moms calling them?" He asked. This caused Kairi to start laughing.

"B-because Lloyd." She said. "They were afraid of fighting you."

"They were?" Lloyd asked.

"Yeah." Kairi said. "You were an even better than Sora & Riku."

"Really?" Lloyd asked, as a smile appeared.

"Yeah." Kairi said. "Sora & Riku were the 2 best fighters we ever had."

"Wow." Lloyd said. He then felt Kairi grab his hand.

"Come on, Lloyd." Kairi said. "There's a part of the island you still haven't seen yet. & it'll amaze you." She then ran along the beach, pulling Lloyd behind her.
