All right, it's time to have Storm and Lloyd fight. I know that they fight all the time, but not when Storm has no idea who Lloyd is. So, who's everyone's bets on? I guess it depends on how well Storm can fight without a sword and without really knowing how to take complete advantage of her other powers. All righty, on with the chappie! Hey! I just put up a Storm forum for anyone who wants to start a topic up or anything. It's in TOS category, please only PG-13 on the forum. If you love Storm or the stories go in and talk about it.


Chapter Three: Sibling Rivalry

Storm was ready to fight this kid so she could get away from all the people who were convinced that they knew her. She really wished she could remember who they were but her best option at the moment was to not stick around and find out. Storm prepared herself as Lloyd ran at her, swinging his sword as she dodged his attacks.

Storm noticed the rest of Lloyd's group running towards them. She thought that they would all try to gang up on her so she created a large barrier using ,Guardian, around her and Lloyd which Raine and Zelos ran into. Storm knew that she could make quick work of Lloyd, she didn't have to be stronger than him, only smarter and faster.

Lloyd brought one of his swords down at Storm who managed to side-step to his right and she caught his arm mid-swing. She took his arm and pulled it backwards until he dropped his sword in pain. He spun around bringing his sword with him, but she used his sword to block the other.

"He's in trouble, he's only got one sword now," Sheena pointed out.

Lloyd was determined not to let Storm embarrass him in front of everyone once again and he began to swing his sword at her, trying to hit her. She kept blocking his attacks easily. Finally, she became tired of wasting time with him and kicked at his hand, knocking his sword up into the air. Lloyd was stunned at what had just happened and didn't see Storm as she kicked him in the stomach, sending him to the ground on his back. She looked up and caught the sword, bringing both swords down, cris-crossing them at his neck.

She could kill him so easily. All she had to do was pull her arms out and that would be the end. She looked down at the swordsman, a look of shock on his face. Something suddenly stirred in her memory. It wasn't very clear but she felt suddenly as if she shouldn't kill him. She had a feeling that if she did that she could regret it later. She threw the swords down and began to run once again. She didn't stop and look back, she just kept on running, not knowing where she was going.

Kratos bent over, helping his son out of the snow. He looked into the distance and watched as Storm finally disappeared. "Dammit Storm, where are you going?" Kratos muttered under his breath.

"That would have been a lot cooler if she wasn't going to kill you," Genis said.

Lloyd just glared at him. "What is her problem?" Lloyd asked angrily.

"Lloyd, we believe that Storm has amnesia," Raine answered.

"Am...what?" Lloyd questioned.

"Amnesia, it means she can't remember anything or anyone," Genis explained.

"We need to find her before something happens to her," Kratos finally said.

"Yeah, but I'm not trying to stop her next time, someone else can," he agreed.


Storm ran across the icy tundra of Flanoir until she noticed the sun setting and figured she should find a place to stay for the night. She located a small cave close to where she was. She walked over to it and went inside. She looked into the distance and noticed that there was a large building in the distance. She figured that the next day she could head there and try to find someone who could help her get away from this sheet of ice and snow.

She sat against a wall of the cave and shivered slightly. She didn't really like being cold and wished that she at least had somewhere warm to sleep. She knew that that wouldn't be happening that night though. She pulled her knees up closer to herself and buried her face in her knees, trying to warm up. Suddenly, she felt something warm and furry brush up against her. She looked up and saw a large, green animal next to her. She backed up against the opposite wall of the small cave as she watched the animal approach her. The animal walked over to her and whined a little before giving her a big kiss.

"Yuck!" Storm yelled. She looked at the...well she didn't really know what it was. "Why do you act like you know me?" Storm asked.

"Howl," was the creature's only response as it leaned against her and began to nuzzle her gently. She reached over and patted him gently.

"Well, maybe you can keep me warm tonight," Storm said as the animal curled up and allowed her to rest her head on him as he brought his tail over her like a blanket.

Noishe was determined to go with Lloyd when he returned to Iselia to find Colette. Noishe refused to let Lloyd go without taking him with. So, after some annoying adjustments to the Rhehards, Yuan was able to get Noishe into one. Noishe came with Lloyd and waited patiently for Storm to wake up. Now that she was, he was determined to come with her wherever she went. He snuggled up next to her as the two drifted off to sleep.

She was toddling around a small field as a large, green animal ran next to her. The two year old Storm wasn't very good at running yet but she was able to attempt to catch Noishe. She grabbed his tail as he spun around and licked her causing her to drop his tail to wipe the slobber off her face.

"Noishe, be gentle with her," she could hear a man speaking but she couldn't see his face. She couldn't quite remember who the voice belonged to but she so wanted to find out. She looked up at the dog-like animal and grabbed onto his nose and laughed happily.

Storm woke up and looked at the animal curled up, fast asleep. She looked outside and saw that the sun was slowly creeping over the horizon. She slowly got up, waking the dog next to her. She looked at him carefully as he stretched and yawned.

"Is your name...Noishe?" she asked cautiously.

"Bark! Bark!" Noishe jumped up and down excitedly at the sound of his name.

"I think I remember you. You're my...um...dog," she said.

"Howl," was his response.

"Well, I guess we head to that weird building now," Storm sighed as Noishe bent down to allow Storm to climb on his back as he began to walk her towards what was the Renegade's base.


Well, that's it here. I figured that Storm needed some sort of companionship and I don't have enough Noishe in my stories. Anyway, thanks for all the reviews and please review this story. Thanks.
