Vyser: Well now, I'm here with the next chapter. And with me today is Drogue! Let's give him a hand!

(Drogue walks into the same room but the only noise that was made was a cricket's sound)

Drogue: Oh, come on! Give me a hand here people!

Vyser: You can't really blame them, you haven't shown off your power yet.

Drogue: What is my power anyway?

Vyser: Well, you and Gyro are the only Mecano generals who have appeared and yet haven't shown off your true power.

Drogue: I know that, but what is my power?

Vyser: Do the disclaimer, and I'll whisper it to you.

Drogue: Right, but before that, a majority of you reviewers choose "A New Army", so that's the chapter you'll be viewing. Anyway, Vyser doesn't own Tales of Symphonia or the characters you reviewers submitted. Now tell me what my power is!

Vyser: Sure your power is…

Chapter 30: A New Army

//// ---------------- ------------- ////// --------------- -------------- /

In Techno City, we find that every non-mechanical person was out of the streets. Tech was in a huge factory that had many different machines working on many different kinds of Tech soldiers. However, the building bigger, that had Tech working on three of his greatest creation. We find Tech in an office working on a programming on his computer when Gyro walks into the office.

"Master Tech," Gyro said as he entered the office.

"This had better be important Gyro, I'm working on the Giga Techs' programs," Stated Tech not turning away from his work.

"I've just received word from Liminate and Sealth, they were unable to defeat Lloyd and his group," Gyro replied as he walked up next to Tech. "So sir what exactly are the Giga Techs?"

"These, my loyal follower, are the keys to defeating Exodus," Tech answered. "Unlike most of the other Dreamos, I actually saw what Exodus looks like when he unleashes his demonic power to its fullest. I've designed the Giga Techs so that they could counter whatever Exodus can throw."

"Sir, what if the Giga Techs aren't strong enough?" Asked Gyro as Tech snickered.

"Quite simple really, I'll have my enemies deal with each other, I calculated that Exodus would be the winner of that battle." Tech started. "Now, using the mathematics I've calculated that even though Exodus would be the victor of that battle he would have used half of his power to fully defeat Lloyd and the others. This would be the best time to attack Exodus with the Tech Droids and the Giga Techs. Still our victory percentage would be a mere 25."

"Did you take in account with the Dark Generals, Master Tech?" Asked Gyro, as Tech suddenly looked embarrassed.

"I was just about to do so before you came in here," Tech said as he turned to do the calculations once more.

"Sure sir, anyway, you might want to stop over using your name for your army," Suggested Gyro as he left. "I'll be getting Liminate and Sealth to work on the Giga Techs. Oh, one last thing, Kai and the last general have been outfitted."

"Send them in," Tech replied as Gyro left.

A few minutes later, Kai and the last general arrived. Kai was wearing a more updated version of his old clothes. Kai still had his huge sword on his back, his armor was glowing a dark light and had a scanner covering the left side of his face. The other general was wearing a huge ripped black overcoat, no shirt underneath, ripped dark gray pants, and black boots. On his back was a huge scythe, and his hair was blood colored.

"I have to say, these clothes are incredible," Kai said as he flexed his hand.

"Not only do they have style, but they also increase your physical abilities," Replied Tech as he turned towards the two generals. "Now what do you think about your new body?"

"I've been to hell and back, and coming back as this form, feel excellent," Said the last Mecano General as he combed his fingers through his hair. "Revenge will be sweet tasting."

"I've got revenge as well," Kai growled as the last Mecano General chuckled. "So don't think you can get everything you desire."

"Enough!" Tech yelled as he slammed his fists onto the nearby desk. "You two need to train to hone your abilities. When Sealth and Liminate arrive, you are to train with Gyro and Drogue to test the powers you all have been given."

"Yes sir!" Shouted Kai and the last Mecano General as they saluted then left the office.

Lloyd and the other had already left Misty Water Springs as soon they met up with each other. It didn't take long for them to return to the Renegades' base. However, when they returned, they were surprised at the sight they were beholding. Many people were standing outside of the Renegade base, a majority of the people were wearing the Renegade uniform. When the group landed, they knew the people were from Iseilla, Palmacosta, Mizuho, and Meltokio. Lloyd and the others entered the base, even more people wearing the Renegades' uniform were in standing around checking out their weapons. There was also a group of nine people talking to Yuan, Kratos, Andrian, Torii, and Genten.

"Yuan what's going on here?" Asked Raine as Yuan turned towards the group.

"We've gotten many refugees from the previous towns outside to help us in our battle, and we also have many more fighters to help against the Dreamos." Yuan answered. "As for the people in the Renegades' uniform, they're from our second base."

"I take it that these people are going to help us," Zeek said referring to the people Yuan was talking to earlier.

"Yes, and Tailys is actually talking to another ally," Replied Kratos.

"Yeah, could someone go and tell her and the ally that you guys arrived?" Torii asked as Jet raised his hand.

"I'll do it, where are they?" Asked Jet.

"They're in Yuan's office," Genten replied as Jet walked away.

"I guess we should probably get these introductions underway," Andrian said.

"Yes, well, we know a few of these people," Said Lloyd as he was looking at the people.

The first two people were Regal and Presea wearing slightly different clothes. The two were wielding their weapons. The third person was someone whom the entire group knew.

"Hey, its little Drag," Suzu said as Drag looked a little mad.

"Look just cause I'm shorter than more people doesn't mean that I'm a kid," Pointed out Drag. He was wearing a light blue version of his clothes and actually had his hair combed.

"Drag returned us to normal as well as the rest of the people of Altimira," Regal said as Drag looked proud.

"Yet if it weren't for him, we would never have been stone in the first place," Stated Presea as Drag sweat-dropped.

"How many times can I say sorry?" Asked Drag as another one of the allied people' pet his hair.

"At least you've fixed what you've done," Said the girl who was petting his head. She was an elf and looked to be around 12 years old. She had forest green hair held back in a single braid that ran down her back. She was wearing a green hat, and her outfit looked like Tabatha's only the skirt was longer. "Oh, my name's Renna. I live in a village where Exodus's magic couldn't touch."

"Exodus," Muttered a tall guy. This guy had black hair with black eyes, he was slender. He was wearing a black cloak with black clothing that Sane could tell that he had many weapons underneath. "I met him long ago. I'm Vezerini L. Corozan."

"How exactly could you know him, you don't even look to be thirty?" Sera asked.

"Well, I'm actually 153,374 years," Answered Vezerini as everyone looked surprised. "And if you're wondering, I don't live in this dimension."

"Well, that could explain a lot, I guess," Locke said as the next person walked up.

"I can't top that, but I am a skilled runesmith," A tall green haired man added. This guy was carrying a huge lance, his clothes consisted of a big black vest with a gray muscle shirt and black armored pants. "I'm Cearis, I was captured by Drag here."

"Again, sorry!" Yelled Drag.

"Anyway, he used his powers to turn me into stone when I didn't tell him my secret of Rune spheres." Explained Cearis.

"What exactly is a rune sphere?" Colette asked as Sheena left to talk to the people of Mizuho.

"It's an object that can duplicate the abilities of an Ex-sphere without the sacrifice of a human soul," Answered Cearis as another of the allies stepped up.

"The name's Dai," Dai introduce. Dai had messy red hair, brown eyes, wearing a red tunic, brown pants, leather headband, and brown gloves. He had a scar over his right eye. "Exodus destroyed my village, and this scar will always remind me. I want revenge."

"Revenge won't solve anything you know that?" Asked Duke as Ryu was nodding his head in agreement.

"…" Replied Dai as he cracked his knuckles.

"My turn now," A girl with shoulder length orange-blonde hair. She had bright emerald eyes, she was wearing a black tunic and tan leggings. She had a belt where two elbow blades hung. "I'm Amaya Kohaku, and I'll be giving it my all."

"And last but not least," Said a short crimson haired guy. He was wearing a blue jacket with black lines on it, black shorts, and dark leather boots. He had a huge double bladed axe strapped to his back. "I'm the great Kerro Vincen."

"You remind me a lot like Zelos," Said Heath as Zelos looked mad.

"He doesn't remind me of myself," Zelos stated.

"You'll be surprised who the last of the allies who will join your group soon," Torii commented.

"Who is it?" Asked Genis.

"You'll see," Genten replied.

/---------------- --------------- /////// ------------------- ----------- /

Tailys was sitting in Yuan's office talking to a familiar person, only he had become shorter.

"So, you can't talk at all?" Tailys asked as the dragon person shook his head. "Good thing you wrote your name for me, Mime."

Mime nodded his head. Like Drag, he too was controlled by a dark spirit that energized his powers, when the spirit was removed he decreased his height, but he was taller than Drag.

"I've got to grab something, so you can relax for a minute," Said Tailys as she quickly left the room.

A few minutes passed and Mime decided to stretch his legs, as soon as he reached the door, Jet opened the door. The two looked at each other for a second, that's when Jet realized that he was staring right in the eyes of Mime the dragon that hurt him a while back.

"You!" Yelled Jet as he kicked Mime into the air.

Mime landed on the ground and got mad. He quickly shaped a skillet with his hands and charged at Jet. Jet drew his swords and thought he blocked the invisible frying pan, he found out that he was wrong when he got hit in the back of the head and fell to the ground. Mime too advantage of this and elbow dropped Jet in the back.

"OW! Cheap shot!" Jet yelled as he grabbed Mime by the leg and made Mime fall this time. "Here comes the pain, 'I've always wanted to say this', little man!"

Jet kicked Mime in the stomach, Mime quickly used his tail to trip Jet onto his back. The two quickly got up and Jet began to charge at Mime. Mime however, managed to block Jet by putting up an invisible wall.

"Why you!" Jet yelled when suddenly the door opened up and Tailys came in.

"Oh Jet, I'm glad you're here, Mime has decided to join up with us," Tailys said as Jet looked embarrassed.

"Well, sorry there Mime, my bad," Apologized Jet as Mime shrugged and left the room. "At least I got to call someone else short."

Meanwhile, in Exodus's fortress, we find Exodus wearing some different clothes. The clothes consisted of a black vest with a baggy gray shirt, black pants, a red belt, a dark gray cloak that opened up in the front that hand long red cloth strands. Around his neck was a small mirror with a crack through the mirror part. The mirror had a silver outer cover with a pair of angel wings at the top where the string was that hanged from Exodus's neck.

"It's been many long years since I last wore this clothes," Said Exodus to himself. "I can remember the day I first put these clothes on and what caused this."
