Disclaimer: I don't own TOS, If I did there would be shoujo and shonen-ai pairings and endings in the game.
Not: This is a confusing story to begin with, the jist is My idiot of an O.C. went and turned back time. There are a few other things but you'll find out as the story goes.
Tancred pushed a huge rock out of his way. He now had a clear view of the eternal tree. He walked towards it followed by Mio. Whoever was guarding the tree they weren't there anymore. He pushed another set of rocks and there it was. The staircase led down into the darkness and he began walking down them.
"Tancred Are you sure about this? After all Lloyd only just reunited the worlds and maybe…"
"I'm positive this is the place."
"No…I meant having me come with you…"
"Oh right…maybe this isn't such a great idea."
"No…no…I should come in case you do something dumb."
"Such confidence."
"I know…"
They both walked down the stairs and into a dimly lit chamber.
"Seee, there it is….that's it."
'That's the eternal sword?"
"Yeah…I wonder how it got here."
"I dunno, you're the learned one."
"You're the pretty one."
"Still…why did you want it?"
"I don't, I just want to touch it."
"Tancred, that might not be such a good idea. Remember that last time you touched something that magical."
"Yeah…that poor, poor monkey… But anyways…"
"No dotn!"
It was too late. Mio watched as Tancred reached out and grabbed the hilt of the eternal sword. There was a blinding light and a rush of wind.
"Now you've done it!"
"Wow I can't see a thing!"
"Neither can I this damn light is bright."
"I know its so great."
They both shelled their eyes at the blinding flash that came next. It reduced their vision to white before each of them fell unconscious. Tancred woke up later when Mio poured water on his face.
"Wha…huh? What's going on?
"We must have been transported to Iselia."
"Why do you say that?"
"Well were next to the school house."
"Oh…what time is it?"
"Well I think it must be early morning…"
"Oh…great."
They looked around there was the school.
"you know…this is like the first time…"
"Tancred…you naughty little person!"
"Come on…you remember?"
"Yeah and then we were interrupted."
"yes but that's no reason to…"
"Okay, okay."
"Well then…hey do you hear that?"
"Yeah…it sounds like…teaching."
"At this hour?"
"Let's take a look."
They crept to the window of the school and Tancred peeked in the window. There was Lloyd. He continued looking for Colette and Genis…strange, they weren't there…why would that be? He scanned even more carefully…Lloyd, white hair…kinda like Genis'…blonde hair…but that was a guy…it couldn't be Colette…they weren't to be found. He sunk back under the windowsill.
"So whats it look like in there?"
"Well, it looks like there's someone whit blonde…hang on…"
Tancred stuck his head over the windowsill again. He looked at the white haird girl sitting between Lloyd and the Blonde and said in a hoarse whisper.
"Raine!"
He ducked back under but he heard what he thought he would.
"Lloyd, did you say my name."
"No, sorry Raine."
"Mithos?"
"No…shhh my sister's saying something."
"Oh…right."
Mio started to shake with suppressed laughter.
"What?"
"I don't know, I just figured this would happen, you always make a bad situation…wait I hear something."
They both listened and eventually the voice came through the window.
"Lloyd, please wake up…please wake up…"
Tancred looked over at Mio confused.
"So…what's going on?"
"Sounds like Lloyd fell asleep."
"Just like…last time…"
"Oh…Tancred…. you have really done it this time…"
"Hey…you could have stopped me."
"I tried…you are really in for it if he finds out."
"Ohhh…you wont tell him will you?"
"I don't know where he is so I cant."
"Good."
"Listen the teacher is still talking."
They both cupped their ears.
"Please wake up, please wake up, please wake up, please wake up, please wake up, please wake up, please…"
"Lloyd you dumbass, Wake Up!"
"Wha…"
"Professor Brunel had been trying to get you to wake up."
"Oh sorry professor Brunel."
"Anyways…could you please tell us about the chosen's journey of regeneration."
"Uhhhhh…"
"That's what I thought…Raine what about you?"
"Yes professor, The chosen's journey of regeneration consists of the chosen traveling throughout the land and breaking four seals, eventually the chosen is lead to the tower of salvation where she completes the Regeneration process."
"Very good, I guess I should have give the question to someone other than the chosen."
Tancred looked mortified.
"What have I done?"
"well, you turned time back and then I guess you messed it up."
"But how?"
"Well…I don't know."
"Great just great…hey what's going on?"
"It sounds like the Oracle might have happened."
"Oh boy…Raine as the chosen, Colete as the teacher…whos the best friend?"
"More interestingly, who would Lloyd's father be?"
"I guess…lets follow them for a little bit."
"Or even better, lets try to get into their group."
"Okay but remember…"
"Come on them Mio."
Tancred ran off in the direction of the shrine. Mio sighed and followed. At a slow walk it was a while before she caught up to him. He was sitting in a clump of bushes looking out at the shrine. Lloyd, Raine and the blonde haired boy they had seen in class.
"SO whats happened?"
"Nothing…its like…I dunno…but the renegades haven't shown."
"Or any desains?"
"Nope…almost like this will unfold differently."
'That can happen with these thing…look something's going on."
They looked as Raine ran over to the shrine's enterance.
"Wow…look at these…these must be hundreds of years old!"
"Raine…not the ruin thing again…"
"And look! Those pillars were probably built by an ancient civilization!"
"Sigh…Mithos, is there anything you can think to do?"
"Lloyd, once Raine gets started on the ruins, she wont stop."
"I know but we have to get inside to see the Oracle, Professor Brunel told us to hurry and get back to class."
"I know, Raine, Raine, Raine!"
"What?"
"Lets get going remember hurry back."
"Right, right…"
Raine reluctantly went inside with Lloyd and Mithos. Tancred got up and followed them. Inside, the Shrine looked just as Tancred remembered. Lloyd and the other two had gone inside to find the oracle. Either way Tancred dint find them until he came to the chamber with the Oracle inside. There was Lloyd and Mithos watching as Raine was talking to an angel. Tancred didn't ever see this the first time. It looked like the angle slightly resembled Raine but Tancred figured this was just like last time and the angel was probably just deceiving her. After she received the blessing Tancred approached Lloyd.
"Lloyd."
"Who are you?"
"My name is Tancred we met at the Palmacoasta ranch."
"Huh?"
"While you were trying to heal Colette's sickness…"
"I've never met anyone named Tancred."
"…Lloyd…do I look even vaugley familiar to you?"
"No…should you be?"
"No…I guess not. In that case…"
"Wait…Colette's sickness…what's wrong with the professor?"
"Nothing…forget I said that."
"Wait…what's wrong with my sister?"
"Who are you?"
"I'm Mithos, Colette is my sister."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes…what's wrong with her?"
"If this is true…nothing."
"Why?"
"Never mind. Lloyd are you going to go with Raine on the journey of regeneration?"
"Yeah…I have to my dad, Altessa said I had to."
"Oh…okay then…"
Before Lloyd could ask any more questions, Tancred left the shrine. He ran back to Mio where she still sat.
"So what did you figure out?"
"Well…Lloyd seems to be the same…Genis is nowhere to be found and Raine is the chosen."
"Oh…wow you fucked up."
"I know, I just wonder how we would fix…"
"Tancred Khlaine!"
A deep rumbling voice interrupted his sentence. The ground started to rumble and a man appeared. He wore blue robes and had raven black hair. He looked at Tancred with anger.
"So you did this why?"
"Uh…well it's a long story but I just wanted to see what would happen."
"have you ever heard the phrase curiosity killed the cat?"
'Yes…I came up with it."
"And its how you'll end, to think my sister ever took up with the likes of you."
"Now, brother Tancred's not so bad, at least he's rich."
"The problem is he puts his nose where it doesn't belong and now he's gone and done it."
The man vanished and Mio looked over at Tancred.
"He doesn't mean it."
"Yes he does, none of your family likes me."
"Well anyway…he is right you do have to fix this."
"Yeah…I wonder if…"
"Do you hear that?"
"yeah…"
They both listened into a conversation that was going on.
"Do you think the chosen's inside?"
"Yeah…boss said she wants her alive."
"I know that but why is it taking them so long?"
"I don't know…the oracle should be done by now."
"All we can do is wait."
"Right."
Tancred looked out of the bushes. There were a number of soldiers standing outside the Shrine. Tancred thought they looked like Desians.
"Desians and quite a few of them."
"Great…what do we do?"
"Well I think we might want to help Lloyd, so lets wait for them to come."
"Okay then."
Mio got out her weapon and Tancred readied a spell. Then they lay it wait, waiting for the Chosen's group to emerge.
