Sage: ugh, remind me NOT to cook.
Raine: How bout I cook for you!
Sage: n-n how 'bout you do the disclaimer!
man that talks really fast like in those commercials: ProfessorSagedoesn'townToSrelatedthingssheownstheGuardianSpirits,hercharacters,andAmi17ownsAmi.
Kratos: pft.. anyways.. this is the last chapter of the story..
Sage: Mind you depending on if you want me to con. for a little bit or not. But anyhow, it'd be with other people since Raine and them are dead : angel halo :
Raine: sarcasm : yipee..
Sage: heh heh okay, hope you like this! Oh yeah, and sorry if the writing still messes up, that'd be a thank you to my writing program xD
" Lloyd I.. have a bad feeling about this.."I whispered.
" Don't worry! Lady Aurora will be so happy!" Lloyd said, as they entered the temple.
" I.. kinda agree with Raine.." Kratos said, looking around. I looked to the ground,
" Don't be such babies.." Sheena said.
" We. Aren't babies." I said, before glancing back, " I.. just have.. a bad feeling about this..".
" I sense an evil presence. Proceed with caution." Presea stated, looking around a bit, without moving her head.
Nothing but our footsteps were heard for quiet sometime, until Genis stopped.
" What's wrong Genis...?" Ami said, looking back, Presea stopped beside him.
" I.. can't.." Genis said, and fell to his knees.
" Genis..?" I said, and was about to go beside him but Kratos stopped me.
" What..? What can't you...?" Lloyd said, kneeling beside him.
" Can't.." Genis whispered, coughing, and then choking, then going into a coughing fit, blood drizzled down from his mouth.
" What's going on..!" Ami said.
" What the?" Sheena said, taking a step back.
" Genis! Hang on!" Lloyd said, Genis stopped and gasped for air before puking out blood, Lloyd stayed where he was, but Presea took as step back, a look of fear glued onto her face.
" Lloyd.. I'm sorry.. Go.." Genis whispered, the color drained from his face, and his coughed up more blood.
" No! Your going to be alright!" Lloyd said, trying not to cry, Ami looked away and Sheena could only stare stunned.
" No, I'm not.. you idiot.." Genis said quietly spitting out blood and then slid onto his stomach, " Go Lloyd. Save my sister..".
" No Genis!" Lloyd said, but the Mage closed his eyes and grew limp. Everyone was pretty silent.
" C'mon.. let's go.." Lloyd said finally, getting up.
" Lloyd.. I'm sorry.." Ami said, I didn't really understand what went on.. so I didn't know what to feel..
We walked silently down the corridor once again, and came to a door.
" To walk through it.. or not.." Lloyd said.
" I'll go first, alright? Just so you don't freak." Kratos said, then disappeared into the darkness.
" Err.. I'll go too!" I said, then followed, Sheena came too, Lloyd went through but stopped and whirled around, catching a glimpse or her hand catching the edge of the floor.
" Lloyd!" Ami cried, losing grip and her arm fell limp at her side, she cried out and looked down, spikes appeared covering the floor, she looked back up and Lloyd was running to her. " Lloyd, I'm sorry..".
" Ami no!" Lloyd said, just as Ami let go of the edge and the floor closed up, the twin swordsmen fell to his knees and stared at the floor.
" Lloyd.. are .. where's Ami?" Sheena said, next to him.
" She's gone.." Lloyd whispered, a single tears slid down his cheek.
" Oh.." Sheena said, suddenly speechless.
" I'll get my revenge. I swear!" Lloyd yelled getting up and storming over to the next room, Sheena followed, glancing back at the hidden trap.
" Finally.. geez, what took you.." Kratos said, sighing.
" I think we're being set up.." I whispered.
" No, don't be silly.." Sheena said, looking up. " You guys still didn't find a way?".
" Well no but.." Presea said, going over to a statue and touching it, a ladder slid down from the wall and spikes slowly started moving in from the walls.
" Damn it!" Lloyd said.
" I'll go last!" Sheena said, Presea glanced at me.
" Go, Raine.." The ax wielder said. I climbed up the ladder and kept repeating for me not to look down.
" Come on you.." Lloyd said dragging Kratos to the ladder, he climbed up followed by Lloyd. Presea took a deep breath and climbed as well. Sheena smiled to herself and followed.
" Don't look down.. don't look down.." I repeated, my foot slipped and I let out a gasp.
" Raine, don't worry, we'll make it okay?" Lloyd said, looking to the side, the walls were kinda close, and they were only half way up.
" We're not even high up.." Kratos said, attempting to comfort me, however it was futile since I looked down and slipped, luckily Lloyd caught me, my heart was racing.
" 50 chance of making this trap. We must travel faster.." Presea said.
" I know, let's go damn it.." Lloyd said, letting me slid back onto the ladder.
35 seconds later...
Lloyd, Kratos, and myself had reached the top, and Presea's pony tails were squished to her body, she winced, and closed her eyes, and reached for the top and pulled herself up, panting heavily.
" Come on Sheena..!" I said, looking down and gasped, Sheena had a bit of distance between the top.
" Don't worry I'll be fine, now go! I'll meet up with out later!" Sheena said, smiling.
" Your insane y-" Kratos started but Presea dragged him to the next room along with myself.
" I said I don't want any more sacrifices!" Lloyd yelled.
" Go, and I won't be one! I made it this far because I had faith in you." Sheena said, as the spikes dug into her sides, she winced, " Now go!".
" Sheena.." Lloyd said, backing away then running, the door shut, shaking the floor a little.
" Damn it.." Lloyd whispered.
" Let us be going, we do not have much time.." Presea stated.
" How can you just say that!" Lloyd cried.
" I.." Presea whispered, looking to the ground.
" No time for that, look out!" I said, pointing ahead, an arrow whizzed from the other part of the room, narrowly missing my head, I bit my lip afraid to see what it's target was. The target was Presea, her face clearly had the look of pain and her face drained of color as she fell to the ground, a pool of blood formed slowly. I stepped back.
" Damn it! Why!" Lloyd yelled.
" I told you, their setting us up!" I cried.
" Are the guardians really this bad..?" Kratos whispered, facing the other direction.
" They can't be!" Lloyd said, " Their on our side!".
" Then how come Genis, Ami, Sheena, and now Presea are dead!" I asked, feeling tears slide down my cheeks.
" Be.. Be..I don't know.." Lloyd said, turning around, I felt really hot and then everything started spinning. Then it was gone. " Professor!".
" Lloyd am I..?" I said, looking at myself, before sighing. " Let's get to Aurora.".
" Yeah.." Lloyd said, and we went to the next room.
Memories consume..
Like opening the wound..
I'm picking me apart again...
You all assume..
I'm safe here in my room..
Unless I try to start again...
I don't want to be the one...
The battles always choose..
'Cause inside I realize...
That I'm the one confused.
" What now..?" Kratos said, looking around, the room was pitch black.
" I can see a door.." Lloyd said.
" I can't.." I said, half annoyed, then the room lit up a bit, with blue.
" I could've done that.." Lloyd said.
" Lloyd, you realize you would make this room collapse if you did that.." I said, smiling a bit.
" Yeah I.. I knew that.." Lloyd said, blushing.
" Sure you did.." Kratos said.
" I-" Lloyd said, but choked, and fell to the floor.
" How can that just happen..?" I wondered, kneeling beside the warrior and checking his pulse.
I don't know what's worth fighting for,
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean,
I don't know how I got this way,
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit...
I'm breaking the habit ... Tonight
" I knew something wasn't right.." Kratos said, " However.. we should get on and
see if this is just being projected...".
" Hmm.. I guess.." I said, getting back up and walking over to the door, it opened and we went through.
" So, you've finally come." Firey said, her voice full of hate, she was the guardian of fire.
" Yup. And now your to die. Just like your pitiful.. pitiful friends..." Aurora said.
" Come now, do you really think we were good? You fools! You, are the sacrifices." Lady Farore said.
" I hate taking the bad side.. alas, I must. For I'd rather live, then die.." Kiara said, she was guardian of earth.
" You!" I said.
" Oh, don't blame us now, that'd just be calling you cowards." Firey said.
" Let Electra and Sapphiria be free..." Kiara whispered, they came out.
" Ah, I see you've finally got them dead. This time, for good.." Electra said, going over to the group of guardians.
Clutching my cure..
I tightly lock the door..
I try to catch my breath again..
I hurt much more,
Than anytime before,
I have no options left again...
I don't want to be the one...
The battles always choose,
'Cause inside I realize..
That I'm the one confused.
" Come Sapphiria. Join us." Farore said.
" No!" Sapphiria said.
" Aw.. why not..?" Firey asked.
" Because, humans, elves, and half elves deserve to live! Your all greedy." Sapphiria said.
" So smug. Eh? Well die then." Electra said, spitting. " To think I was friends with a traitor..".
" I.." Sapphiria said.
" Ah well, 2nd to last sacrifice.." Aurora said, taking a big darkness ball and throwing it at me, I was to shocked to do anything, I closed my eyes and braced myself, however nothing happened.
" Oh, see, your little friends wants to protect you eh? Lucky him being an angel of Cruxis. Yggrassill never did understand us.." Kiara said, hitting her staff to the ground. " Immature humans.. half elves.. what ever you are..".
" Thank you.." I whispered, taking out my staff.
" Focus on them.. not what I'm doing.." Kratos said, already having his sword out.
" I'm helping you too, so don't touch me.." Sapphiria said, outstretching her hands. " Water!".
I don't know..
What's worth fighting for,
Or why I have to scream..
I don't know why I instigate,
And say what I don't mean..
I don't know how I got this way,
I'll never be alright..
So, I'm breaking the habit...
I'm breaking the habit,
Tonight..
The guardians dodged and scattered, all powering up their magic.
" Damn it! Curse you all!" Sapphiria cried.
" No, no.. no. You'd be helping us.. we don't like to kill our own kind.." Farore said, as there was a big flash. I shielded my face from the immense light as the attacks morphed into each other and sped towards me again at great velocity. I waited for my consciousness to be lost, but that never happened.
" Damn you!" Electra cried, sending a big volt of electricity at Kratos, no one really saw that coming, so there was no time to dodge. I watched stunned as the last remaining of our little group fell to the floor. ' Don't worry Raine.. everything will be fine.. Don't panic..' I thought to myself. I couldn't handle it, everyone was dying, just because of the spirits..
" H-How could you do this!" I cried, tears slipping down my cheeks as I gripped my staff tighter.
I'll paint it on the walls...
'Cause I'm the one at fault...
I'll never fight again..
And this is how it ends...
" We, are the guardians, and thanks to you naive inferior beings.. we will take over the world.." Aurora said, smiling.
" My.. my Raine.. and we really were thinking you would've caught on.. Tsk.. tsk..
tsk.. I didn't think it'd come down to this..." Electra said, twirling her staff in
the air, and electric aura surrounded her, the others doing the same but their
element surrounding them.
" You guys can't do this! We have to protect the world, it was our purpose!"
The water guardian cried.
" No no no.. you got it all wrong.." Fiery said, crossing her arms and tapping her
foot.
" You, took their side." Lady Farore said, snapping her fingers, Lady Sapphiria
screamed and then dropped to the ground.
" Stop it!" I cried, a light aura came up around me.
" What is this..?" Aurora said.
" Who cares.. let's get her.." Electra said, bored.
I don't know what's worth fighting for..
I felt something build up inside my body and then something appeared, she glowed brightly, and looked back to me.
" Don't worry Raine, I am, on.. your side.." She whispered, then turned back to the guardians, then clenched their teeth and fists.
Or why I have to scream.
The new spirit lifted her hands and a massive ball kept growing bigger and bigger until everything was engulfed in it, then it exploded, I screamed and shielded my head from the falling debris.
But now I have some clarity, To show you what I mean...
When I could see again, everything was black, I gasped thinking I'd lost my ability to see, but I saw a bit of sunlight seep through some black. My body ached unbearably. I'd figured the ceiling collapsed and I was buried under it.
I don't know how I got this way..I'll never be alright...
I winced and was able to move slightly. The rocks slid and squished me even more, I cried out and winced, letting my cold tears slide down my cheeks.
" So.. this.. is how.. I die..?" I whispered, closing my eyes.
So, I'm breaking the habit... I'm breaking the habit ..
" But.. what about the guardians.. surely their dead as well.. and.. everyone else.." I said to myself, then winced again, a rock had slid more and dug into my skin, I felt something liquid like slid down onto my side I could only think of it as blood.
I'm breaking the habit..
" I... am.. so sorry I let you down everyone.. " I whispered as the rock dug more into my back, I winced then closed my eyes. The tip of it jabbed into my heart, and then I could only see black.
