Professor Sage: ;; sorry it took me so long to update.. I've been busy or too tired to update.. or the fact that my internet has been taking to long to load stuff... it's faster now though!
Raine: That is after you deleted all your Tales of Symphonia pictures..
Professor Sage: And anime!
Ami: Did you have lots of Lloyd..?
Lloyd?
Professor Sage: Nope, mostly them... : points to Raine and Kratos :
Kratos: ...
Raine: O.o;; oh.. I see...
Professor Sage: .. well someone do the disclaimer...
Ami: Uh, Lloyd, wanna take a walk!
Lloyd: Sure!
: Ami and Lloyd run off :
Raine: I just remembered I have to finish studying something important...
: Raine runs off as well :
Professor Sage:: grins evilly : Oh Kratos...
Kratos: ... : sighs : Sage doesn't own Tales of Symphonia things.. she only owns Kaya and the guardian spirits... and the random people that come up... Her friend Ami-Chan owns Ami...
Professor Sage: 0
: Ami, Raine, and Lloyd come back :
Professor Sage: ... I baked some cookies!
: Everyone leaves:
Professor Sage: O.o what's wrong with my cookies... oh well.. on with the story!
" I am here to tell you, the two that are in thy past, to bring them to thy future, thy must journey and destroy the dark spirits that loom in each of the 7 other lost temples. The Dark spirit for this temple, is here." The women said, I started feeling dizzy, and then this glowing light appeared above me.
" How are we supposed to defeat that.." Ami said.
" The spirit will take form of something, defeat that... when you've defeated all 7 then come back here.." The women said and then disappeared, the ball of light then transformed into a big bird like creature.
" You two, get back.." Lloyd said, taking out his swords.
" No! I wanna fight too!" I said.
" Your too young!" Sheena said, taking out her card things.
" I can fight too!" Raine said, taking out a mini staff.
" No, get back!"Lloyd said.
I ignored him and took a crystal out.
" What's that?" Presea said, holding her ax in battle position.
" It's.. a .. magic thing and... mommy gave it to me.." I said, it started shining.
" What does it do, and we could consider you helping." Lloyd said.
" I don't know I haven't used it before.. quit asking questions, you should focus on the enemy." I said.
" ... I ... damn it!" Lloyd said, and then the creature spirit thing went to attack.
Ami took out her bow and arrow and let the arrows fly, but they kept bouncing off, as if hitting a shield. Sheena was calling out many attack things, but they seemed uneffective. Genis started casting spells, but none of them worked. Lloyd was swinging his sword many times at the thing, but like Ami, his swords just flung right off it as if hitting a shield. Same thing with Presea.
" It won't work.." Lloyd said, wiping the sweat off his forehead.
" Damn!" Sheena said, holding her head.
" Can't you let us try.." Raine asked, holding her staff, the crystal part at the top was glowing.
" .. We do not want you too get hurt." Presea said.
The crystal started floating, and glowing really brightly.
" Hey I got it!" Genis said.
" What?" Lloyd said.
" Let them use a combo attack... and it might break that force field a bit, just enough so I can cast a spell and break the rest!" Genis explained.
" How will they know too do it!" Sheena said.
" Easy, Raine just has to hold her staff up, and the crystal will just work by itself." Genis said.
" How do you know this?" Presea asked.
" Raine was telling me about it.." Genis said.
" I see.." Ami said, " Raine, hold up your staff.".
" O-okay." Raine said, and did as she was told.
At this, Genis had been right, the crystal my mother had given me before dying, started glowing, and Raine's staff was glowing as well. They both emitted a ball of light and it hit the creature.
" Gentle winds.. gather before and form blades of air... Cyclone!" Genis cried, and then a big greenish cyclone formed around the creature, someone broke, and shattered to pieces, and the creature was stunned. ( An: eek.. like I've been saying, since I don't have Tales of Symphonia at the current moment, I only remember Indignation's chant and a couple other spells Genis has. And not the ones I need to use.. so sorry, correct me if I'm wrong on the spells, if you want.).
" It's so scary!" Raine said, obviously having lost her confidence, and started hugging me, I managed to get over to a statue and hide behind it.
" Don't worry okay? Everything will be okay, I promise.." I said, trying to comfort her.
" Are.. Are you sure...?" Raine asked, staring at me.
" Yes... Or I'll take care of them, okay?" I said, and then watched Lloyd and the others.
Sheena seemed to be trying to cast some spell, as was Genis. Ami was shooting the creature every time it wasn't inches from the ground so Lloyd and Presea could hit it.
Ami hit the bug, it hit the ground.
" Form a vortex and engulf the evil spirit... Tidal Wave!" Genis cried, Well bleh he spell unleashed... The bug got stunned, Lloyd and Presea attacked like crazy, paralyzing in, and finally..
"I call upon the light of the heavens... I summon you... come, Luna!" Sheena said, Luna came forth.
" Light!" She cried, rasing her staff, multiple rays of light struck down hitting the bug and random places. The bug finally had enough and turned back into a ball.
" Good work.. this tactic you have found with Kratos and Raine are needing to be used to destroy most barriers. When the enemy has turned back into a ball you must capture it. By doing so, you take the bottle at the altar in the room, and capture it." The women from before said as she appeared.
" You.. who are you!" Lloyd said.
" I, I am Kratos' mother... not really though. I have just taken care of him for a bit." She said.
" Wow..." Genis said.
" However. I have passed onto another world, and am the keeper of the temples of Lost Souls." She explained.
" If that's so, then why do we have to free the temples!" Lloyd cried.
" You must listen... ( Raine and me crawled out from behind the statue and went by Ami.), Since this is the main temple, there is a ... somewhat magic item in here. Some thief found his way in here and stole it. When the magic item is in here, there is no traps like there is now." She explained.
" Traps?" Presea said.
" Yes, the things you did too get in here. Were traps." She said.
" Hmm.. meaning you can only get into here if your part of whatever this is if you're a member of what this is?" Sheena said.
"Somewhat. Thus by taking the item, he can cause chaos to the world. I cannot reclaim the item because I have not the power." She explained.
" Who has it?" Sheena asked.
" That would be an obvious answer. You all have the power too take back the spirits." She said.
" What! This makes no sense!" Lloyd said.
" Let me explain Lloyd... This lady is the keeper of the temples of Lost Souls. There are 8 temples in all. This is the main one, and this is the spirit of it. For the other 7 other temples, they each have guardians. Just like for the seal of Fire, it's guardian is Efreet and so on. By taking the secret item in this temple, he has called this guardian forth, because her seal is broken, and she has woken up from her sleep. He's also went to the other temples and stole the items there too. This means he can control them, and cause havoc. However even if someone has taken the item for this guardian, she is able to move on her own free will and is not controlled, so she can call forth someone to take back the spirits... She's called us so we have too do it." I explained.
" That is quite correct my child." The guardian spirit said.
" Oh.. I see now. So all we have to do is capture the man and force him to give us the items?" Lloyd said.
" No... we have too destroy the seals placed on the guardians so then the item automatically comes back." Genis said.
" I'm confused.." Lloyd said.
" Lloyd, that's sad.. I mean Kratos gets it, and he's a 6 year old child." Genis said.
" Yeah, well ... Shut up." Lloyd said.
" Like I said. Each of the guardians are still in the temples, but are under his command. This is why they'll attack us." I said.
" Oh! I get it now!" Lloyd said.
" Yay!" Ami squealed.
" Now young one, do you remember where the second temple is?" The guardian asked.
" I.. I think so.." I said.
" Good. Once the spirit there is back to normal, they will guide you too the other temples." She said.
" W-wait.. can't we just send my summon spirits to break the spell?" Sheena asked.
" That will only cause more havoc. Summoner, do not use your spirits as you wish. For he will capture you." The guardian said.
" Okay." Sheena said.
" Now go free the next spirit." The lady said, and vanished.
" Is that really your mom, Kratos?" Presea asked as we were walking back.. up... the.. stairs...
" No.. not really.. I don't exactly remember much when I was a kid." I said.
" That's probably.. oh never mind." Genis said.
" How do you know that's not your mom then?" Raine asked.
" I remember .. well.. it's somewhat hard to explain.. but I remember certain details and such..." I said.
"Hmm.. I see.. what do you remember?" Presea asked.
" Well.. I remember my mommy was a sorceress, and she, she worked for these men. And she killed people too.. slight pause ... and my dad.. I remember him being away all the time. But when he was home he always yelled and told me and mommy he hated us, and he tried to hurt us too... Mommy said it was cuz he was drunk." I said.
" That's.. so sad.." Sheena said.
" Well, one day.. I was playing with some of my friends and mommy said we had to go somewhere.. and so we went by this river place and it was really pretty. There was a guardian spirit there too, and mommy said I had to go with her." I explained.
" Was this the guardian spirit from down there?" Ami asked.
" Well yeah.. and then daddy came and he had this thing.. and when he clicked a button it made this bang noise." I said.
" A gun.." Genis said.
" He started yelling at mommy and then the women took me away. Then he made the thing go bang and mommy fell down and..." I said, and tried not to cry, it really wasn't fair.. but I couldn't let them see me cry either.
" He killed your mother!" Sheena said, we were almost at the top.
" Y-yes.. and then he killed the spirit too.. you see, she's not supposed to be dead, she's supposed to live like we do, which is why she can move on her own free will..." I said, Lloyd pushed open the door.
Everyone was blinded by the light, except me, I just kept staring at the light, it hurt, but I didn't care, pain eased so many things. Finally I started feeling dizzy and so I looked to Raine, although something was blocking her, as if I were still staring at the light. I closed my eyes and shook my head.
" What's wrong Kratos?" Raine said, tugging my arm.
" Nothing of your concern." I said, somewhat annoyed.
She bit her lip, and looked a bit hurt.
" Come one let's go.." Lloyd said, he climbed out of the opening, followed by Ami, and then Sheena lifted me up, and then Lloyd grabbed onto me, I sighed, being small was so annoying.. Raine was plopped beside me.
" You look tired..." Raine said.
" Please go away." I said.
Well, this obviously hurt Raine, and she started crying, I sighed, kids were so immature... then again I'm one too.. but I'm not like the others.
" Aww... it's okay Raine.. don't cry.." Ami said, trying to comfort Raine.
Presea and Genis were helped up, and then Sheena came out too, Lloyd then closed the opening.
" Well we should get back home or somewhere to stay for the night... We'll stock up on supplies then leave for the journey tomorrow." Lloyd said.
" Okay!" Genis said.
" Triet is close, is it not?" Presea said.
" Yes.." Genis said, blushing a little.
" Well then we can head there.." Sheena said.
" Alright." Lloyd said, then we all went there.
At Triet's inn...
" There, now you can both go to sleep, we'll be in town okay?" Ami said.
" Yes Ami.." Raine said, I just nodded.
" Bye!" Ami said, and went out the door.
I sat at the edge of the bed, kicking my feet in the air, I really didn't like to be alone with this girl...
" Kratos, what are we going too do?" Raine asked.
" I don't know. Go too sleep." I snapped.
" Your tired too! Or you wouldn't be all mad at me!" Raine said, and cried again.
" Would you sh–.. I'm sorry Raine.." I said, crawling over too her, and hugging her.
" You don't like me do you.." Raine said, drying her eyes.
I was silent, partly because I didn't hear her, and partly because I was lost in thought...
' Children are immature because they don't understand... but I understand.. is that really why..-' However Raine interrupted my thoughts.
" Kratos.. can you get to sleep too..." Raine asked sleepily.
" I.. Maybe." I said.
" You two, wh— Kratos! Raine!" A voice said.
" Who are you!" Raine cried, hugging me tightly.
" .. Well, this is quite a change.." He said.
" Who are you.." I said.
" Kratos, you know who I am, just think for a moment." The man said, sheathing a double edged sword.
" Y... Yuan?" I said.
" Correct young one. You do know, if you don't turn back into your old self soon, you'll be partly stuck like that? Remember that Cruxis crystal is capable of changing your appearance." Yuan said.
" ... Cruxis.. what are you talking about?" I said.
" ... You'll remember later.. But just remember that." Yuan said, the left.
" ... Raine.. do you remember anything out of the ordinary.." I asked.
" I.. I remember.. dancing ... on some .. ancient ruins... as an acolyte.." Raine said, shivering.
" We were turned into little children..." I said.
Silence... rain started pelting against the windows... strange, it would be unusual for rain to appear like this in a desert... then again, soon the ..window.. was stained with.. blood..
" Raine, we have to get out of this place and too the next temple." I said.
" O-okay.." Raine said, then Lloyd and the others burst in, they were coated in the blood.
" You two, let's get outta here!" Lloyd said, grabbing me, Sheena grabbed Raine, then we were far from Triet.
" We should head too Yuan's base!" Sheena said.
" Good idea." Presea said.
At Yuan's base...
" Why... what the hell your all covered in blood.." Yuan said, getting up from his chair, from behind his desk and walked over too us.
" Yeah.. something flew up in the air, and then blood started raining down." Lloyd said.
" It looked like.. like an angel!" Genis cried.
" Hmm.. Kratos, what do you think." Yuan said.
" Why are you asking me..." I said, squirming to get out of Lloyd's grasp, he put me down.
" Because your mother told you stories about the lost temples, and you liked them." Yuan said, smirking.
" How did you know that.." I said.
" That's not important." Yuan said, his smirk vanished.
" ... It's the offering." I stated.
" What! There's more sacrifices!" Lloyd said.
" No, Well.. I.. yeah." I said.
" I don't want any more sacrifices Lloyd cried.
" Let me finish or I won't tell you." I snapped.
Silence.
" Anyways. Mommy told me, that when the ancient items of the past were used, an offering was to be made in the city or place that the heroes the goddess guardian summoned." I explained.
" In other words, if your in your party and traveling..." Yuan said, but trailed off.
" Then one of us will be sacrificed." I said.
" What.. can they be resurrected?" Lloyd asked.
" No." I replied.
" That's not fair!" Genis said.
" It's not like we have a choice you know... it's either one is sacrificed, or the world perishes." Yuan explained.
Silence.
" By the way. You should move out to the next temple." Yuan said.
" Yes." Presea said.
" Let's go then.." Sheena said, rather irritated.
So then they all left and were now standing out of the Renegade's base...
" Where too next Kratos.." Lloyd said bored.
" I... I don't remember.. but I know it's somewhere by water..." I said.
" W-Water!" Raine cried, clinging to me.
" What's... wrong with water..." I said.
" N-nothing.." Raine stuttered.
" ... Okay.." I said.
" Let's try Lake Umacy.." Sheena said.
Professor Sage: 0 How'd ya like it? Good?
Raine: ...
Ami: O.o blood?
Professor Sage: ... oh yeah, I guess I should explain that part... before I do the reviews.. Like they all will say or have said, I don't remember.. each time a guardian is realesed from their spell, okay this is confusing.. but I'll do my best to try and explain... Anyways. A sacrifice is needed, I think Yuan had said that, but stopped, so Kratos finished. Yes, if they are not within a town when the sacrifice is being chosen, one of them will be sacrificed. I've picked a... person.. already, and it might be un expected. You guys can guess if you want... mind you it can't be Kratos, okay? and Ami, you know who it is, so keep your mouth shut O.o;;; anyways back to the blood fall. Raine..
Raine: get me to do it.. well anyways, the blood is like a poison, each time it falls on the group the guardian spirit of light's chosen's group, it infects whoever it touches slightly. Since both me and Kratos were in the inn, we weren't affected by it, but the others were. Each time they are touched by it, the infection grows, and when it gets bad, it will eat away the insides of your body...
Professor Sage: Yup, now anyways. Review time!
SummonerofVerius: Heh heh, I think I make them OOC when their children.. ... YOURNOTSTUPID:: slaps Lloyd : That was mean... and I just did the math to that... O.o; my IQ isn't that high... : anime sweat drop :
Ami-Chan: yes, what Ami said Blackflame.. thanks for explaining! 0
So anyways.. I also posted a Kraine ish one shot for those of you who want to check it out.. it's my first short one with a song, and I think I said in it, I was going to have a Christmas specail... so this might be on hold. Anyhow.
Raine: O.o;
Professor Sage: .. oh yeah Ami don't get mad at me for slapping Lloyd.
Ami: ...
Professor Sage: Okay both of you.. or I'll use my shield..
Raine: Which is..
Professor Sage:: hides behind Kratos :
Raine: Sad... well Sage would give you two these:: hands SoV and Ami Chan their pix : Have fun!
Professor Sage: btw... if there is stuff underneath this.. I apologize.. my computer is screwed up currently... well c ya!
