Chapter 5: Orders From a Goddess
Lloyd stepped on the platform as Venforfte released the immovable seal on it. It brought him down to the chamber of the seal of fire like an elevator.
"Lloyd!" Colette exclaimed as she ran over to hug him. "Lloyd, are you alright? Are you hurt?" she asked him. Lloyd shook his head.
"Don't worry about me, Colette. I'm fine," he replied.
"What about Venforfte?" Kratos asked. Lloyd nodded as the ceiling began fall apart. Mikel gasped.
"Come on everybody! We have to get out of here, now!" Zelos shouted. They all ran for the warp.
They suddenly appeared in a room with lava. The warp cracked and suddenly shattered before them.
"What happened?" Sheena whispered.
"…When the dragons were awake…there was only peace. The Summon Spirits had no reason to be sealed and to sleep. They were always awake…and so were we…until that day came…" a voice told them. "Defeat the darkness outside… survive it at least… and then I shall tell you the story…" slowly the voice faded away.
Curious about the strange voice, the group made their way to the entrance and stepped out into the igneous desert. (A/N: I'm trying to use other words now to expand my English… sorry if you don't know what they mean :P )
"Fire Ball!" someone shouted as the group ducked out of the way.
"Sheesh, as if it wasn't already boiling out here," commented Zelos. Nikila stood before them, barring their way. Her flared with a piercing anger that made even Zelos shut his mouth.
"Lloyd, I will have my revenge!" she seethed as she charged at him. Lloyd unsheathed his swords and blocked her attack only just noticing what her weapons were. They were two, small, flaming daggers with jagged edges and golden hilts. Lloyd pushed her back as she retreated with a long jump and waited. Lloyd stepped down the stairs and waited for Nikila to make her move.
"What you aren't going to attack me?" Nikila asked bitterly.
"Why should I when you will eventually anyway?" Lloyd replied. Nikila lost her temper then and there. Her eyes burned with rage and the flames that danced upon her daggers were now blazing and seemed to envelope her entire arm. She swung at him recklessly and he counterattacked forcing her to retreat once again. She tried again and again, intentionally making Lloyd move farther and farther away from the temple.
"Lloyd, be careful she's drawing you away from us!" Genis shouted as Kratos gasped realizing the same thing. Lloyd had gone quite a distance when they heard a familiar female voice.
"Ha, it's too late! It's time I helped my little sister with her plan for revenge!"
Lloyd was about to strike a blow to Nikila when his blade stopped right in front of her. He suddenly couldn't move. He tried his legs, his arms, his fingers, and even his eyes. He couldn't move a single muscle. The group behind Lloyd was stunned by her sudden appearance. Selena had appeared behind Lloyd and had put a spell on him. Nikila laughed and sat down breathing heavily. She knew that her big sister would never let anything happen to her.
"Release Lloyd now!" Mikel shouted. Selena laughed.
"Why should I, Mikel, when I finally have him where I want him? It's his fault that Nikila was banished and so he must be punished," she replied as she walked up to Lloyd's face so that he could see her. "You're going to pay for that dearly, boy."
"Stop it, Selena! Leave him be!" Mikel shouted as tears slowly formed in her eyes. Selena looked at her mockingly.
"Aw does poor little Mikel want to cry? Oh I know Mikel, how about we tell your new friends about who you really are!" Mikel gasped and took a step back, mouthing the words 'No, please don't'. Nikila stood up and joined Selena in tormenting Mikel.
"What is it, Mikel? You didn't tell them yet? What is it, are you afraid that they'll hate you, or possibly even reject you? Come on, if you're not going to tell them then let us tell them at least!"
"Yes, how about it, Mikel, my dear, baby—"
"SHUT UP!" Mikel shouted with all of her might. The others looked at her in surprise for shouting with such force. Selena looked away in disgust and turned back towards Lloyd.
"Whatever, all I came here to do was to finally get rid of this annoying brat. Prism—"
"You will be doing no such thing to Lloyd Irving Aurion! Be gone!" a voice roared. Everyone (except Lloyd) gasped as an immense red dragon flew into the sky. The spell upon Lloyd was suddenly broken.
"Sister!" Nikila screamed before Lloyd could recover his senses and finish off his attack. Selena vanished from Lloyd's side and reappeared behind Nikila. She grabbed her from behind and jumped back just as Lloyd completed his swing. Selena released Nikila and looked towards her arm. Lloyd's swing had still hit and the slash was now bleeding. She had just barely saved her little sister. She looked towards, Venforfte, the dragon above them and was beginning to have second thoughts about her strategy.
"Darn it! I'll get you one day, Lloyd Aurion! I swear upon this slash that you have given me, that I will destroy you! I swear that Goddess will have you destroyed!" she yelled as she and Nikila ran off into the flaming desert as the others stared in their direction stunned at what they just heard. Venforfte landed and looked towards Lloyd.
"Do you know what she meant by Goddess?" he asked him curiously. Lloyd shook his head. Mikel stepped towards the great dragon.
"Venforfte, it is a pleasure to see you again. Do you remember me?"
"Ah yes, Mikel. It is good to see you again although I wish we could have met under different circumstances. Anyway I'm not too sure about the rest you…except…" Venforfte looked towards Kratos. "I suppose that you do not recognize me, Kratos?"
"I beg your pardon?" Kratos implied as Venforfte laughed softly.
"No, it was over 4,000 years ago. Do you remember meeting a small red lizard when you…well ran into a little bit of trouble with a girl when you were.. what, 6?" Kratos suddenly began to blush a little bit.
"That was you?" Venforfte laughed again.
"Dragons are awfully small when they are young. I still remember how scared you were when that girl found you again along with some of her friends. Well even I have to say that I'd be scared if that happened to me at your age." The others looked towards Kratos.
"So are you going to tell us what happened or not?" Zelos asked him.
"He was just simple walked down the road when a little girl asked him to marry her. He said no and tried to get away from her but she said that there was no way she'd let him go. When he finally did get away from he ran for his life and then she started chasing him with her friends… what made the whole even scary was that they all had t-shirts saying 'Kratos fanclub'," Venforfte explained. Lloyd gawked at his father.
"Did that seriously happen? Yikes I'd be scared too," he told him. Kratos looked away.
"They're still chasing me around up to this day," he replied. "At least… their very great grandchildren are…"
"Are you serious, Kratos?" Sheena said.
"Does that really matter right now? We still don't understand what's really going on here," Raine stated.
"O yes that's right. I need to tell of what we need to do in order to stop the Itsumokans from releasing Hellk," Venforfte replied.
"Itsumokans?" Genis asked.
"'Itsumo' is a Japanese word meaning always or forever. 'Kan' is the name of the first head of the family," Mikel answered.
"Right but moving on…you should at least know the name of all of the dragons and their partners before telling you the story. There's me, Venforfte, Efreet's dragon, Fonirto, Undine's dragon, Treeforte, Gnome's dragon, Xylophonix, Celsius' dragon, Heelix, Shadow's dragon, Entity, Volt's dragon, Helious, the Slyph's dragon, Oakino, Luna's dragon, Lorgirdian, Origin's dragon and Nephrateetie, Mawell's dragon."
"Those are a lot of names to remember," Lloyd commented as Genis gasped suddenly and the entire group looked towards him.
"I've figured it out! I now know why Zelos cannot possibly be the Rider of Olympian!" he exclaimed. "His name doesn't fit!"
Genis: Hey how come your ending it here?
Me: I don't have any inspiration…
Lloyd: You mean you don't have enough reviews…
Me: Exactly…
Yuan: Well then how about you don't update until you get more reviews!
Me: (smiles) Great idea! I'll even put previews for the next chapters to just because im bored!
Kratos: Well then you all heard her… you better review otherwise she won't update.
Preview: Chapter 6: Massacre
"That's right. I am your big sister and because you failed to notice this earlier they will all die!" Selena shouted.
