Author's Note: OH MY GOSH! I'M NOT DEAD! Okay, I have been meaning to do this for a while. RoyalFanatic sent me some hilarious ideas for another exciting chapter of this ficcie, so I'm using them! Basically all of the content in this chapter is based on what she sent me, so I didn't have to improvise much.
Disclaimer: I do not own ToS or any of its characters. Cecilia belongs to RoyalFanatic, as well as most of the content in this chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter 7: Cecilia Stole Yuan's Cape!
After the recent cape-stealing crime spree, Yuan decides to instigate stricter security measures around his base in Flanior. So what does he do? He hires bodyguards, of course! Well, more like capeguards. And who better to fill this position than his ol' buddy Kratos and his son Lloyd! Wait…Lloyd? Are we sure that's a good idea, Yuan? Anyway, I digress. Anyway, we find Yuan sitting in his office, Kratos and Lloyd standing behind him as his ever-faithful bodyguards. Okay, so they've only been his ever-faithful bodyguards…err, capeguards…for two hours, but who's counting?
"Relax, Yuan, I don't see why you're so worked up," Lloyd says in an attempt to reassure the seraph.
"You don't understand, Lloyd. They could be hiding anywhere. They could strike at anytime!" Yuan retorts, his voice getting louder.
"Who's 'they'?" Kratos asks boredly.
Yuan just pauses, blinks, and replies, "I…don't…know."
Just then… (A/N: This is where RoyalFanatic's material kicks in.)
"BEWARE OF THE ATTACK! BEWARE OF THE ATTACK!" Yuan bolts upright in his seat, and Kratos and Lloyd lay their hands on their swords as Zelos and Sheena barge into the office. Zelos is wearing his Narcissist title, and Sheena is wearing her Successor title.
"Zelos? Sheena? What's going on?" Lloyd asks in utter confusion.
Zelos and Sheena continue screaming in gibberish about an attack that will soon happen, using wild hand gestures and pointing at each other to try and make their point. What is the point, you may ask? Well, I have no idea… While Yuan is trying to translate their unintelligible ranting, Regal walks in wearing his god of the kitchen title and stands by Kratos. Kratos glances at Regal, and Regal gives a threatening glare and looks ready to pin him down just in case. Little does Yuan know that a fourth person has entered the room. Unnoticed by the confused seraph, this person sneaks up behind him and steals his cape.
Finally Yuan has had enough of trying to understand his friends' gibberish and yells, "ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH!" Sheena and Zelos pipe down immediately and look down at the ground, anxiously twiddling their thumbs. "I've had enough of your incessant ramblings! Now, calmly tell what you need to…" Yuan trails off at seeing a girl standing behind Zelos and Sheena, grinning evilly and waving his cape in the air triumphantly. His eyes get big, and he points a shaky finger accusingly at the girl. "Y-YOU! YOU STOLE MY CAPE!"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! CECILIA STRIKES AGAIN!" the girl, now known as Cecilia, proclaims triumphantly. Yuan leaps over his desk and lunges for Cecilia, but all of a sudden she sprouts purple angel wings and starts flying! "Catch me if you can!" Cecilia taunts, hovering just out of Yuan's reach.
"Why you little…" Yuan starts, pulling out his own purple wings. But then…SNAP! Zelos and Sheena break them! "AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH! YOU BROKE MY WINGS! MY BEAUTIFUL LITTLE WINGS!" Yuan screams, though not exactly in pain.
"That's right! Jump, boy! Jump!" Cecilia continues to torment the poor half-elf as he jumps up and down, trying unsuccessfully to reclaim his precious cape.
Now let's check in on Yuan's ever-faithful bodyguards (A/N: This is my part.). Kratos and Lloyd haven't moved an inch since the whole incident began and are watching the scene with a mixture of horror and amusement. "Uh…Dad? Isn't it bad for an angel's wings to break?" Lloyd asks.
"Oh, not to worry. They'll grow back in a couple of weeks," Kratos replies. (A/N: Yeah, that ends my little diversion.)
Finally a fifth person enters Yuan's office, and it's none other than Kratos! Wait…Kratos? Yeah, Kratos enters in his Judgment outfit and glares at Cecilia. She takes note of the angry seraph below her and squeaks, "Oh! Uncle Kratos! I…uh…when did you get here?" Wait…Uncle Kratos? Uh…oh, I don't know. (A/N: The whole uncle thing was RoyalFanatic's idea.)
"Uncle" Kratos launches into a scolding speech: "I can't believe what I'm seeing, Cecilia! I thought I had taught you better than this! Now what have I told you about…" He trails off halfway through his scolding speech upon seeing the regular-costumed Kratos still standing by Yuan's desk. Enter awkward silence… Somewhere off in the distance, a cricket chirps. Yuan gulps, thinking it's Squishey's ghost (dun, dun, dun!). (A/N: I still don't own Squishey's ghost (dun, dun, dun!). He belongs to AnnaAurion123.)
Regular Kratos stares. Judgment Kratos stares back. Neither one moves. Finally, Lloyd manages to break the awkward silence. "Uh…Dad? I didn't know you had a twin brother," he remarks.
"I don't," normal Kratos replies. Everyone does an anime fall. (A/N: That part was my idea too.)
After the awkward silence, Cecilia proclaims, "Well, it looks like it's time for me to make my getaway! Ciao, everyone!" She flies out the window and over the water.
Yuan finally snaps back to reality and screams in his demonic voice, "WAIT! COME BACK HERE WITH MY CAPE!" Being now unable to fly, what does he do? Why, he leaps out the window, of course! With a nice battle cry to boot.
"Yuan can swim, right?" Lloyd asks hopefully.
"I sure hope so," regular Kratos mutters, placing a hand on his forehead.
Yuan reaches the nearest shore, swimming madly, shortly after Cecilia touches down. "GIVE…BACK…MY…CAPE!" he exclaims between breaths.
"Hmmm…okay!" Cecilia exclaims brightly. She holds out his cape but then…ATTACKS HIM WITH IT! Well, Zelos and Sheena did mention an attack, right? While Yuan is rolling around in the snow trying to escape his cape, Cecilia exclaims, "I call forth my muses! Zelos, Sheena, Regal, and Kratos! The time has come to retreat!" Judgment Kratos flies over carrying Regal, and Zelos flies over carrying Sheena. Together, Cecilia and her muses travel through a portal back to their own dimension.
Meanwhile, normal Kratos and Lloyd fly over to Yuan and help the beaten, bruised, and snow-covered seraph to his feet. "Those people weren't the Sheena, Zelos, Kratos, and Regal that we know, were they?" Lloyd asks. Yuan just grits his teeth and glares threateningly at Lloyd and Kratos.
Kratos just has one thing left to say: "We're…fired, aren't we?"
End chapter 6
