Zeek: Hey you stole my job!
Vyser: All fair in my story.
Zeek: Show off.
Chapter 3: A Meeting of Old and New Allies.
Claws was power mad from the dark spirit that had just fused within him. Zeek had just arrived in time to give Lloyd a helping hand. Raine had fully healed Genis with her magic.
"Zeek." Growled Claws as Zeek just readied himself in a defensive position, "The Master, will be pleased that you'll be gone soon."
"You're still stubborn as always," Said Zeek as Claws was getting even more anxious to seep his teeth into Zeek's flesh.
"Let me join this fight," Said Lloyd as he drew his two swords.
"For all the pain you caused in one night," Said Raine as she walked behind Zeek and Lloyd. "You shall not be forgiven."
"Justice and love will always triumph!" Said Genis as he stood beside Raine.
"I just don't plain like that vow," Said Lloyd.
"ENouGH oF tHiS PoINTleSS TalK!" Yelled Claws as a dark aura was surrounding him, "NoW we fiGHT!"
Claws charged at the group of four, aiming solely on Zeek. Just as Claws was about to stab Zeek with his claws (which were razor sharp now thanks to the dark spirit) Zeek simply raised his dagger and blocked the attack. Claws was momentarily stunned, enough time for Genis to use his fireball attack, sending Claws back to the ground. Claws quickly got back up onto his feet, the aura was stronger and Claws' body was growing more muscular and taller. Lloyd quickly ran towards Claws in hopes of slashing off the dark spirit, and just as Lloyd's blade almost reached the jewel Claws grabbed Lloyd and sent him flying through the air.
"Oh no Lloyd!" Yelled Genis as he watched his friend being tossed into the air.
In a flash of light, Lloyd's wings appeared and was making his way back to Claws.
"Now, let's try this again!" Yelled Lloyd as he was dive-bombing towards the dark spirit on Claws.
Just as Lloyd reached the dark spirit, Claws had a special surprise in stored. He opened his month and roared, and suddenly dark light was blasting out of his mouth, striking Lloyd, as he was only an inch away from the jewel. The dark light engulfed Lloyd; his yells of pain were the only thing that made the others know he was still there. By this time the were-wolf army had been advancing on the school, but Zeek, Raine, and Genis had defeated all the were-wolves that were coming. The trio looked up to see that Claws' attack had subsided, and Lloyd was floating thanks to his wings. But suddenly, Lloyd's wings molted and disappeared and Lloyd fell to the ground badly injured.
"Lloyd!" Yelled Genis, Raine, and Zeek at the same time.
Claws was just laughing, as the trio fought through the were-wolf army to reach their friend. Finally they had made it, with Claws looking down upon them.
"I clipped his wings," Said Claws as he began do one of those evil laughs.
Zeek was feeling anger dwelling inside of him. Raine was healing Lloyd as Genis was holding back the remaining were-wolf army. Zeek then made his wings appear.
"Zeek, don't tell me that you're actually.." Said Raine but it was too late, Zeek began to fly up to Claws.
"Another angel to have his wings clipped?" Sarcastically said Claws.
Zeek began to fly at Claws with high speed, Claws used the attack that devastated Lloyd but, Zeek dodged it with ease. After a few minutes of this, Lloyd is partially healed and woke up from Claws' attack.
"Lloyd, you must rest now," Said Raine, but Lloyd got up as well as picking up his swords.
"I know what I can do," Said Lloyd as he ran towards Claws.
Claws was still blasting Zeek who was trying to get a clean shot at the dark spirit. Zeek noticed that Lloyd was running towards Claws. Apparently Claws didn't noticed Lloyd, and Zeek knew what Lloyd was up to. Zeek kept on distracting Claws, and with all his energy Lloyd jumped up and sliced off the dark spirit that Claws had equipped.
"What!" Yelled Claws as he began to become his normal size, "NO! Not now!"
The dark spirit was falling towards the ground but Zeek, quickly dove and grabbed the jewel. Claws was already back to his normal size, and the remaining were-wolf army was helping him to escape, Zeek was going to follow them when Lloyd collapse on the ground.
Three days later Lloyd awoke in his room, with Colette laying her head down on his blankets. As Lloyd sat up, he felt his face there were a few bandages that covered his forehead and underneath his right eye. When Lloyd was getting out of bed, Colette was also waking up.
"Lloyd, you're awake," Said Colette as she hugged Lloyd.
"Colette what happened?" Asked Lloyd.
"Well you finally woke up." Said Zeek as he was walking up the stairs. "You've been knocked out for three days."
"Three days!" Said a shocked Lloyd.
"You took a lot of damage from Claws' attacks, but thanks to Raine," Said Colette, "You'll be just fine."
"What happened to Claws?" Asked Lloyd as he approached Zeek, "And what's next?"
"Claws had escaped, but thanks to your efforts we were able to acquire his dark spirit," Said Zeek as he held out the black jewel. "And what we're doing next is heading towards Meltokio to the research center."
"I thought you knew everything about the dark spirits?" Asked Lloyd.
"They need to analyze it and will probably try to create a jewel that will counter act the dark spirit," Replied Zeek who seemed annoyed. "And I unfortunately have to give them all the information."
"I wonder if we'll see Zelos?" Asked Colette.
"You're friend Raine sent him a letter that we would be arriving sometime," Said Zeek as he made his way down the stairs, "We're leaving soon with Genis and Raine soon so be prepared."
After a few hours of preparation, the group was ready. The destination, Meltokio, how they were going to get there was another story. But, as the years passed and the two worlds did become one, the technology level had increased. A new type of transportation was created known as drago-cycles (an invention I made for this fan fiction). A cross between a motorcycle and metallic dragon, that was fast on land and even faster in the air. It only took one day for the group of five to reach Meltokio, and the place had really changed the palace was bigger and so was the coliseum. Lloyd and the gang first had to pay a visit with their friend Zelos.
The group made their way to the noble part of town, where Zelos' mansion still stood. Lloyd knocked on the door and Zelos' butler (I forget the name, if anyone knows please tell me) opens the door.
"Oh if it isn't sir Bud," Said Zelos' Butler.
"My name is Lloyd," Replied Lloyd as the group entered the mansion.
"I shall inform Master Zelos that his guest have arrived," Said the butler as he proceeded to the stairs.
While waiting for Zelos, everyone took the time to observe the mansion. Not much had changed, there were still plenty of gifts from Zelos' admirers. Not soon after Zelos and a girl who had the exact same hair style of Zelos came down the stairs.
"Hi Zelos," Said Colette as Zelos reached the bottom of the stairs.
"Ah, Colette, my pretty little angel," Said Zelos with a smile. Zelos hadn't really changed at all, it was as if time had no effect on him. "Hello my silver haired beauty."
"It's good to see you again Zelos," Said Raine with a sigh.
"Who's that?" Asked Zelos as he pointed towards Zeek.
"His name's Zeek," Said Lloyd.
"I can introduce myself you know," Said Zeek as he was getting angry.
"Hey, Zelos," Said Genis as Zelos looked straight towards him.
"Yeah brat," Replied Zelos.
"Please don't call me that," Said Genis, "Who's that with you?" Asked Genis as he pointed towards the girl next to Zelos.
"I must be getting rude. Allow me to introduce," Said Zelos before he was cut off.
"My names Suzu!" Yelled Suzu as she jumped towards Genis and shook his hand. She had long red hair and light blue eyes. She wears a blue sweatshirt with two belts around her waist. White pants and belts above her ankles (like Kratos). At the belts around her waist was a small sword. "You must be Zelos' friends, I heard so much about you all."
After Suzu had shaken almost everyone's hand, Zelos' butler had informed that dinner was ready. After explaining what had happened in Isellia, and how Tech and Claws had devastated the group.
"Wow, that must have been rough," Said Suzu as she continued to eat her meal.
"So Zelos, I see you have been living the good life," Said Genis, "How'd you manage to keep all this?"
"I became a royal adviser!" Said Zelos.
"Who would take your advice," Said Zeek as he took a sip from his drink.
"The king perhaps," Replied Zelos.
"So how did you and Suzu meet?" Asked Raine.
"Remember how we fought Cruxis and all," Said Zelos as he was looking quite nervous.
"Yeah," Said Genis.
"Well before I saved you all," Said Zelos (I got that part in the game), "I met Suzu, she was part of Cruxis."
"So, she's a half elf?" Asked Raine.
"Nope. I'm human." Said Suzu.
"The Cruxis angels were working on experiment to make it so that they could try to make humans into half-elves," Explained Zelos. "Fortunately, the only successful part was Suzu getting wings of an angel."
"You're like me then," Said Zeek as he looked at Suzu. "I have angel wings too."
"Really?" Asked Suzu as she looked at Zeek, "What color are yours? Mine are red."
"Silver," Said Zeek.
"Anyway, I helped her escaped and told her to come here," Finished Zelos. "Also, from what you told me, I'm sure the scientists at the research center would be very interested in these dark spirits."
"I just hope that they don't get cocky about this dark spirit," Said Zeek as he held the jewel in his hand carefully.
"They probably won't," Said Lloyd.
"We'll go first thing in the morning," Said Zelos, "Butler, would you prepare the guest rooms please."
"Right away sir," Said Zelos' butler.
The night passed as quickly as it came. In the morning, Lloyd, Colette, Zeek, Genis, Raine, Zelos and Suzu made their way to the research center. As the large group entered a brown haired boy greeted them silently.
"Hello," Said Colette. But the young boy did not reply.
"He must be shy," Said Raine as he looked at the boy. Suddenly the boy looked like he had just seen a ghost."
"I feel like I know you somewhere." A Mysterious voice said in the group's mind.
"Who said that!" Yelled Lloyd as everyone except the boy was looking around.
"Forgive me, I am Locke Hart, the boy who stands before you," Said the voice that belonged to Locke. Locke has dark brown hair and blue eyes. He wears a whitish-gray tunic under a makeshift vest, made with green cloth and two belts to hold it up. His pants are green as well and go down just past his knees. And his shoes are just a plain white color. "You see I have the ability to communicate telepathically, seeing as how I'm mute."
"Pleasure to meet you," Said Genis.
"Please follow me," Telepathically said Locke as he was walking down the stairs to the lab. The others quickly followed.
Vyser: There's chapter three.
Zeek: I'm surprised.
Vyser: Why, because I have a good sense in writing?
Zeek: No. Because you worked on this instead of studying for your Spanish test.
Vyser: I forgot!
Suzu: Procrastinator.
Zeek: Where'd you come from?
Suzu: Blame treekicker.
Vyser: Before I go, I need some ideas for new places, characters (both good and evil), and things that might spice up the story. Please review! 'runs off to study Spanish'
Zeek: What he said.
