Finally! I just couldn't think of what to write, but I woke up with a lot of ideas this morning :D

I miiiiight be uploading another fanfic soon, but I'm still working on it.

Disclaimer : I don't own Tales of Symphonia and I never will...so quit bothering me with this okay!


A few seconds later, the goup was standing around him, all whispering to each other and trying to figure out this situation. Were the Desians back? But, with their leader gone, how did could they have come back?

"Lloyd, this has got to be a mistake. We killed Mithos!" Genis tried reasoning with Lloyd. "All of the other Grand Cardinals are dead, too!"

Genis' last sentence reached Kratos. If Kvar wasn't dead, did anyone else survive? He wasn't sure if it would be a good idea to tell them about Kvar, but his mouth didn't seem to listen.

"Kvar wasn't dead." Everyone looked at him in shock.

"What?" Lloyd was the one who was the most shocked. "You're saying...he survived?"

"He did. But Kratos killed him, don't worry." Anna replied. "He's definetely dead this time."

"Now that you mention it...some people in Luin were talking about a small group of people that looked like Desians passing through there." Genis stated. "Maybe they're the ones that did this."

"Yeah! Let's go look around in Luin." Lloyd said, with the usual amount of excitement in his tone. They all knew he would be bored with this in a while...

The group were in a Luin a few moments later. Genis led the group to where he had seen people talk about the Desians. Luckily, they were still there. Two girls were talking near the fountain.

"Excuse me...but I heard you talking about Desians earlier. Where did they go?" Genis asked.

One of the girl turned around. "I think they were headed for Hima. Is everything okay up there?"

"They burned it down." Genis sighed. This wasn't really helping. The two girls gasped and started worrying. They left before the group had time to ask them anything else.

"Sorry, guys..." Genis sighed again.

"Hm...the Desians could have gone to Triet or Iselia, since they're close to Hima." Raine suggested. "Perhaps we should search over there. Besides, there's a human ranch near there. They might be planning to rebuild it." She added.

As soon as Raine finished talking, the group headed for the desert. All of them hoped the Desians hadn't started capturing humans and rebuilding the ranch, but it was always a possibility. Once they arrived to the ranch, they couldn't believe what they were seeing. Hundreds of Desians were working to rebuild the ranch.

"This is bad. It's exactly what we didn't want happening." Raine said sadly.

"Yes. We need to stop them." Presea added. "But we can't attack them all at once."

Raine brought her hand to her chin and thought for a moment. But to their surprise, it was Lloyd who thought of the best idea.

"I know!" He said "I say we divide in groups of two and each attack a part of the ranch!"

"Wow, Lloyd! That's a great idea!" Colette chirped.

"Shh, not so loud, Colette..." Sheena whispered. "If they catch us, we're dead."

The Chosen mouthed "Sorry" and blushed out of embarrassment. Lloyd continued with his plan. The groups were chosen and they split up. Lloyd and Genis were going to use the same technique they did to save Marble. That would distract the Desians guarding the door so that everyone else could infiltrate the ranch.

They put their plan into action and everyone was able to enter the ranch without harm. Kratos and Raine teamed up, of course. They were going to get to the where the control room used to be and eleminate the Desians there. They entered a long, dark hall. The lights were broken, so they couldn't see anything.

"Stay close." Kratos said, grabbing her hand. Raine nodded, even though she knew he couldn't see it. They walked through the hall, trying not to make much noise. It was too quiet.

Suddenly, Raine tripped on a piece of metal laying on the ground. By doing so, she accidently set off the alarms. The alarms started ringing loudly, alarming anyone nearby.

Raine quickly got up and followed Kratos deeper in the ranch. They ran as fast as they could, hoping the Desians wouldn't catch up. Fortunately, they ended up right where they wanted to: The control room. The room wasn't as damaged than the others and thankfully, it wasn't dark. Kratos blocked the door with whatever he could find.

"I can't set it to self-distruct. The others are still around!" Raine said. It was only a matter of time until the Desians would find them.

"The others should have taken care of some of the Desians by now. I can handle whatever else comes after us."

As soon as he finished his sentence, the things he had moved in front of the entrance started to crack, until finally, it exploded. Atleast a dozen Desians were standing in the hall, each of them armed with a whip.

"Heh...I expected to see more of you." Kratos smirked. This was going to be easier than he expected. Behind him, Raine began charging Ray.

Kratos unsheated his sword and attacked the nearest Desian. Ray killed a few of them, but one of the Desians managed to dodge it and was now aiming for Raine. He started running towards her with his whip ready, but Kratos stopped him before he even got halfway.

The number of Desians decreased until there was just one of them left. He wasn't as strong and it only took a few hits before he fell.

"I'll disengage the alarms, so that no one makes the same mistake I did..." Raine pressed a few buttons and a little alarm went off, to show that the security system had been turned off. The two headed outside, to find the rest of the group fighting off the Desians.

Sheena, Lloyd Presea and Regal attacked from the front while Zelos and Genis stayed behind to heal and cast spells. Anna and Pietro, who had followed the group, stayed where there were no Desians around -- Or so they thought. A wounded Desian crept up behind them and was successful at dragging Anna away. She screamed and tried to get away, but the Desian had a strong grip.

Kratos charged toward the Desian, but it was too late. The Desian had already impaled Anna with his sword and she was bleeding her life away
