Collette- well, um. Since Kratos and Lloyd are with Kratos Aurion fan, and since CW was thrown down 12 flights of stairs, I guess that leaves me in charge this time. I'm a bit nervous to tell the truth, but I'll do my best. Now, to the reviews

Shadowofthewave- little was gathered about Martel from the game, so I decided to give her a personality that I found fitting. What kind of goddess would she be if she didn't have the gull to stand up and fight for her people? Anyways, thanks for the review

Kratos Aurion fan- that wasn't very nice you know. CW's doctor called yesterday, he's in traction thanks to you. He may be paralyzed from the neck down, it would take a miracle to save him from that. I thought you two were friends, what happened? Well, I hope you can live with the guilt, thanks for the review all the same. Humph

Silver Arrow- I agree, the machine guns CW had were a bit much, but at least he had a good reason for using them. Thanks for the review.

Kratos Wilder- CW really appreciates your concern, it means a lot "looks at KAF" unlike someone who put him where he is in the first place. Thanks so much Wilder, lets both hope that he comes back ok. If he doesn't he may never write another fic ever again. His dreams of being a writer will be crushed by the fact that he wont be able to move his hands. Sure, he may be able to dictate, but it wont be the same. Thanks for the review Wilder, let's hope all will be well.

Alex the Summoner- no review? CW will be very disappointed that you didn't review.

Collette- ok, that's done, now I guess it's time to write the fic. Can someone help me please?

Genis- sure, I'll give you a hand

Collette- thanks Genis, I owe you one.

Genis- no problem, ok, let's begin

Collette- right, enjoy everyone

Chapter 11

Betrayed Again

Lloyd and his group crept silently through the castle. They felt uneasy as they looked at Angelos' many poor choices in artwork. Collette stopped at a picture of a woman and stared at it closely. Lloyd noticed that she had stopped, and went over to her.

"What's the matter Collette" he asked.

"This picture" replied Collette, "it looks so familiar, like I've seen her before". Lloyd studied the picture for a moment. It was a portrait of a woman with long blonde hair, she wore a black robe, and had the same eyes as Angelos.

"I doubt it" said Lloyd, "I know everyone you know, and I definitely don't know this lady".

"You're also the one who didn't know that two plus two equaled four in kindergarten" mocked Genis with a smirk. Before Lloyd could reply, they realized that they had reached the door to the throne room.

"We finally made it" exclaimed Lloyd happily, "now we can end this once and for all".

"Not just yet" implied Rain, "we know how strong Angelos is, and it would be fool hearty to go in there without Kratos and his team".

"You're right" replied Lloyd, "I wonder what's taking them so long".

With Group B…………

Kratos swung his sword at the giant blob monster, but it had no effect at all. The monster simply sucked the sword into it's body, and then spat it back out sending it flying across the room.

"Curses" mumbled Kratos as he flew across the room to regain his weapon.

"Beast" cried Persea as she slammed her ax into the monster, only to achieve the same result as Kratos. "There's no way to hurt it" she said as she ran to her weapon.

"I think I have an idea" called Sheena, "but you'll have to distract it for a minute".

"Can do" replied Kratos as he charged forward again.

With Group A……

Bored with waiting for Kratos and the others to show up, and with no guards in sight, Lloyds group began to entertain themselves with games and conversation. Raine was talking with Zelos while Lloyd, Collette and Genis played rock paper scissors to see who would get the first attack on Angelos.

"Rock, paper, scissors shoot!" they called, as they continued to get the same thing over and over.

Meanwhile, with Group B…..

Sheena stood in a far off corner chanting to herself as a blue magic circle appeared under her. Kratos and the others were still trying to damage the monster, but to no avail.

"I'm ready" called Sheena as the circle began to glow. The others took her hint and moved out of the way. "Celcius" she cried, "I summon you". The spirit of ice emerged from the blue circle and turned to Sheena.

"You rang oh maker of the pact?" she asked in a sarcastic voice.

"Yes" replied Sheena, "please aid us in our battle by freezing that gigantic blob".

"Yeah, sure" said Celcius as she turned to the monster. "Look what I've been reduced to" she muttered to herself, before shooting a ray of ice at the blob. Before the ray hit the blob, the blob spat out a small, round chunk of sludge that flew across the room and hit Persea, knocking her to the ground. The ray then hit the blob and turned it into a very ugly ice sculpture., which Kratos then smashed into tiny ugly pieces.

"That's that" said Kratos, clapping his hands clean and then folding his arms together.

"Are you alright Persea?" asked Regal as he helped her to her feet.

"I am fine" she said, dusting herself off, "the only thing that hurts is my pride".

"We should get moving and find Nami and the others" suggested Sheena as she waved a goodbye to Celcius.

"Agreed" said Kratos, "let's move-" he was cut off by another trap door opening under them, "oooooooooouuuuuuuuutttttttttttttt!" he shouted as they all fell down again.

Meanwhile with group A…….

Lloyd, Collette and Genis were still playing rock paper scissors to see who would hit Angelos first. Annoyed with their constant bickering, Rain felt that it was time to put an end to their childish dispute.

"Alright" she said stamping her foot on the ground furiously, "I've had enough of you and your silly little game. Stop arguing like little children and act your age this instant".

"She says as she complains and whines" remarked Genis under his breath.

THWAP!

"OW!" whined Genis as he clutched his head in pain.

"Watch how you talk about your older sister" she said in an angry tone, steam poring out of her ears.

"Calm down professor" said Lloyd, "we're just tired of waiting is all".

"Oh you wont have to wait much longer" came a voice from the apposing hall. Foot steps were heard, and then who else but Nami walked up to all of them, keeping a slight difference of course.

"Nami!" exclaimed Lloyd, "where have you guys been, we've been waiting. Where's dad?"

"You'll be joining Kratos shortly" said Nami, an unseen smirk on her face.

"What is that supposed to-" Lloyd was cut off, by yet another trap door. The castle had so many of them it seemed as though you couldn't take a step without falling into a hole. The team fell all the way down to the deepest bowels of the castle, and Nami only stood and watched.

"Enjoy your stay in the dungeon" said Nami with a smile as she walked away from the hole, "while it lasts, mwahahahahahahahaha".

The only sound that echoed over the screams of the others, was the sound of Collette yelling, "I told you so!"

End chapter 11

Collette- oh, I don't think it's as good as CW's preference.

Genis- well, we did our best, and that's all he can ask of us, besides I took these ideas from Lloyd when he was ranting about writing a fic.

"Front door flies open and CW walks in, completely healed"

Collette- CW! Your alright

CW- yup, thanks to some care from the hospital, and a lot of healing magic from KAF "thank you for apologizing for that" I'm as good as new

Genis- that's a relief, I don't think we could write the rest of the story ourselves

CW- Genis, you give up to easily "looks over chapter" this looks just fine.

Collette and Genis- really?

CW- yeah, nice job

Collette and Genis- thanks!

CW- well, on a side note. I'd like to apologize to the readers. I know it's been taking me longer to update, but i'm really trying my best. I'm taking some advanced courses in school which makes writing time a bit harder to find. But I will finish this story even if it takes me till next school year "hopefully it doesn't take that long". I also understand that this chapter wasn't so action packed, let me assure you that this changes from here on out. The next 3 chapters are nothing but fights, fights, and more fights. I hope you enjoy them. I will try to update a bit faster. And I'd like to thank you all for baring with me as I try my best to keep my life going, and at the same time bring you the best fic I can write., so, until next chapter.

Collette and Genis- please review
