Hey everybody time to find out what happens next.
I would like to thank everyone who keeps reviewing, but alas there are no questions or responses at this time.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own ToS, but my minions have surrounded Namco and I am working on an infiltration team.
Chapter 8 Zelos, Colette, and Shadow
Colette dashed down the hall eyes streaming with tears. "I can't stop thinking about Lloyd." She thought closing her eyes.
She dashed further down the hall not caring where she was going, until she hit something rocky and fell back. She looked up just in time to see a dragon turn around roaring in her face.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed as loud as she could hoping that some one would hear.
But alas no one seemed to come to her aid and as the dragon decided to land a devastating blow to Colette she closed her eyes to wait for it. The attack never came. She looked up to see Zelos there blocking the attack as best he could with his shield.
"Zelos how did you…" Her voice trailed off.
"When you ran I followed you, cause I couldn't let anything happen to you my sweet little angel." He smirked.
He knocked the dragon back regaining his composer and allowing her to stand up and take out her Chackrams.
"All right let's take him on together then shall we." He said turning to her with a smile. She nodded and prepared for the worst.
The dragon roared and stormed back ready to take both of their heads off. They both, similar to Lloyd and Sheena, just jumped out of the way. Zelos then slashed at the dragon to keep it busy while Colette started her chant for holy song.

"We did it Colette." Zelos said leaning on Colette from his wounds.
"Easy there Zelos." Colette said smiling. "Huh? Why does this feel so good and natural?" She thought to herself.
"Come on Colette the others will probably be worried. It also looks like I'm not the only one that needs Raine right now is it?" He said eyeing a gash on Colettes' side.
"Um, Zelos…" Colette stammered. "thanks for saving me. I know I was always a burden on Lloyd, but I don't want to be a burden anymore."
"It's okay Colette, I'll always be here to protect you." Zelos said chuckling to himself.
"Where have you two been, we were worried sick!" Raine spat as the others came around the corner.
"We had a little trouble, that's all." Zelos replied.
"I guess that settles it then. We need to set up camp here and stay the night." Kratos sighed.

"Ahh. The pact maker is here again, what can I do for you." A voice came from the cold room that was steadily growing colder.
"I am Sheena, and I seek a pact with Celsius." Sheena said.
"Very well, but be warned I've been training and I won't hold back this time." The voice replied.
"Just one more question before we begin. Will you be as stubborn as Gnome and only let two of us fight?" Lloyd chirped in this time.
"Actually I want to test my power out so you can fight with as many as you want." Celsius said finally entering with a rush of wind and snow. "So who will be fighting me today, and I also sense five angels among you. If you don't mind actually, I would like to fight all five of you."
"I was waiting for a chance to fight." Kratos said pulling out his wings.
"Now Zelos, please be careful." Colette pleaded pulling out her own wings.
"You worry to much." Zelos smiled letting his own wings shine.
"I know we can handle this, even if it was just two of us." Lloyd chuckled, showing off his enormous wings that were longer than anyone else's.
"Let's get started." Sheena retorted making her wings visible like everyone else.
They just stood there waiting for someone to make the first move. A strong wind picked up and Celsius leapt into the air bringing her wrist down as she fell.
"Everyone put up your barriers." Lloyd yelled. She landed in the middle of them and their transparent barriers came up just as icicles barreled out at them.
"I call upon the red giant the ruler of hellfire. I summon thee, come Efreet." Sheena called. And the great summon spirit came bringing up his fists and hammered them down on Celsius and brought up monstrous flames.
Sheena thought, "Damn, we can hardly scratch her even with Efreet. We would have tried "Double Judgment" if we could have pulled it off, but maybe there's a greater attack than that."
"Everyone I have an idea, Lloyd and Kratos keep her busy." Sheena called. "Now Zelos, Colette, I want you along with me to do Judgment, but as soon as you're done get Lloyd and Kratos to cast it, and Zelos telling them is your job."
"Understood." Kratos said to Zelos.
"Gottcha." Lloyd nodded.
"What are they up to?" Celsius thought.
"Oh, holy ones, cast thy purifying light upon these corrupt souls." Came three voices. "Judgment." And dozens of rays of light came hammering down on Celsius' head.
When they stopped she could then hear two people saying, "…these corrupt souls. Judgment." And another set of rays of light came hammering down on her head.
"Oh holy ones whom we have called…" Kratos started.
"SHIIIIIIIT!" Celsius gasped.
"…to rain down the purifying light…" Lloyd continued.
"…upon these corrupt souls…" Zelos called smirking.
"…we ask that thou grant us…" Colette said closing her eyes.
"…the ultimate power of angels…" Sheena continued.
"…ULTIMATE JUDGMENT." They all said in unison. The room became a blinding white and a shock wave of light mana knocked Celsius to the far wall knocking her out.
"Excellent, as usual. Now speak your vow again." Celsius said gasping for breath.
"For the sake of helping this New World, I want to save it from all danger." Sheena said making sure that even after finishing her new journey she could still summon.
"Understood. I trust that you will continue to use my power well." Celsius said giving her power to Sheena, and then disappearing.
"Next is Shadow, then Luna, and then the five Desian Grand Cardinals." Sheena said to the others.
"That was an amazing attack just now, I've never seen anything like it." Regal exclaimed.
Sorry I just had to have Regal say something, however I'm not to fond of him so I think I'll find a way to let him go. What about you viewers?
