A/N's: Oy, Ana's back!
Lloyd: What you finally got a few reviews?
Me: yup.
Yuan: really?
Me: yup…:)
Kratos: Lloyd-forever would like to thank the reviewers for reviewing.
Me: Thank you buddy! Ok then moving on… CHEER PLEASE!
Yuan: (fakes a smile) Can you believe it? Believe it! Ana's back for another round! believe it? Believe it! She's come back to gain a pound! (blushes)
Me: Wow… I am never letting you write the cheer again.
Lloyd: (laughing) I… can't… believe that… you actually went through… with that… Yuan!
Kratos: (smirking) You make a better cheerleader than I do, Yuan. I have to admit I'm slightly jealous.
Genis: you guys scare me…
Me: meh o well. Cute guys can never scare me! Genis do my disclaimer!
Genis: sure… Lloyd-forever does not own TOS or anything that belongs to NAMCO!
Chapter 6: Massacre
Everyone stared at Genis dumbfounded except for Raine who thought deeply about his theory. She then shook her head.
"You'll have to explain, Genis. What do you mean that his name doesn't… fit?" she asked him calmly. Zelos sat in the hot sand and groaned.
"You mean I'm not the legendary, ultra-super-cool Rider?" he asked sadly as Sheena patted him on the back.
"Sorry but I guess that someone else is. Most likely someone cooler…" she replied as Zelos pouted. Mikel smiled brightly suddenly.
"I get it!" she cried as she took a pencil from her pants pockets and began drawing on the ground. "Now look, the beginning of each name is the most important thing. Well to be more specific it's the first letter of the name that is most important," she spoke as she drew. She drew out the first half of the alphabet (A-M) and then directly underneath it starting from the M at the end and writing towards the 'A' she wrote the last half of the alphabet (N-Z).
"Right," began Genis, "just to make this easy to understand the letters that are above or below each other are the ones that are connected. For example, if my name Zac, my corresponding letter would be 'A' because 'Z' is below 'A'. So if Zelos was the Rider Olympian's name would begin with an 'A' not an 'O'." Mikel nodded.
"That sounds right but if that is so then how does 'S' correspond to 'O'?"
"I think that this legend may have been translated incorrectly, Mikel," Raine replied.
"That's actually a possibility," said Venforfte. "For the story is quite confusing in itself."
"If that is so, then perhaps we should find where this legend is and translate it ourselves," Kratos suggested.
"We should. I know where it is being kept but… we need to release Fonirto, Treeforte and…" Venforfte's voice drifted off.
"Is there something wrong, Venforfte?" Lloyd asked him. Venforfte nodded and sighed.
"We have to release Hellk's sister, Helious." Mikel breathed in sharply suddenly worrying about something.
"Mikel, you look pale," Zelos told her with concern. Mikel shook her head.
"I'm fine."
"Then if that is the case I suggest that we head to the Slyph's seal and release Helious first. That way it anything happens then we can at least just get it over with. If we wait to get her then… Selena and Nikila might get to her before us," Venforfte told them.
"Alright then it's decided!" Lloyd exclaimed. "We're off to that creepy wind building near Asgard!" Everyone sweat dropped.
"It's called the Balacruf, Lloyd…" Genis muttered.
----------------------------------------------------------
Selena and Nikila stepped into the Balacruf. Nikila shivered.
"Sis…it's cold in here," she whispered as Selena nodded.
"That's because Helious has allowed her own heart to grow cold…" Selena replied as they walked towards the seal room. They stood before the seal of wind looking for the entrance to Helious's carvern. Nikila got on her knees and touched the ground searching for a clue.
"Selena, how are we supposed to get to her?" Suddenly a strong gust of wind knocked them down as a great shadow flew above them. A dragon then landed in front of them and glared as Selena and Nikila got to their feet.
"Helious, it's been a while hasn't it?" Selena told the great dragon warmly. The dragon looked away.
"I don't care how long it's been. All i'm content with is that you people found me first. I would hate it if that... that Aurion blooded child found me first instead!" Helious growled angrily. She snorted as a strong gust of wind flowed from her nostrils. She stared at the two girls in front of her.
"Where's that other little brat of yours?" Helious asked with some curiousity seeping into her voice.
"She's with them. She's with two of the Aurions," Nikila replied.
"Two? What happened to the third? The one that became an Aurion?"
"Appearantly, she passed away around 17 years ago," Selena told her.
"That is unacceptable. I wanted to destory them all myself! Who killed her? I'll wreak my havoc upon them and anyone who ever worked with them!" Helious roared as she stomped her two front feet to the ground.
"He's dead, Helious. The other two Aurions killed him...together..." Nikila said as she looked away. "The Desians were eliminated a while ago."
"So i see," Helious whispered dangerously. "Then let them come! Let them come to their DESTRUCTION!" Helious roared into the sky.
------------------------------------------------------------
The group stopped in front of the Balacruf and noticed two of their old friends from their old journey and one had finally released the shackles that he no longer needed to be binded by.
"Regal! Presea!" Colette shouted happily (she's always happy... to happy...) as she ran over and gave Presea a hug.
"It's good to see you well, Colette." Presea replied as the rest of the group came over and exchanged hugs and very short stories for they were low on time.
"Talk later! Helious is feeling anxious... I fear that we may have been beaten here by the twins," Venforfte exclaimed. "I'll fly up above. If you must fight with Helious i will aid you. If you must not then i shall be in hte sky. Summon me only if you truely need me... Lloyd Irving Aurion," Venforte said as he spread his great wings and flew high into the sky and soon dissappeared.
"Alright then let's go!" Lloyd said enthusiastically as the group nodded and headed inside to the seal of wind.
When they got there they were stopped at the stairs coming up but a strong wind.
"Mikel...do these people know who you truely are?" a strange, calm voice asked. Mikel looked around her nervously. She had seen this coming but she had ignored her gut feeling. Now she was screwed...
"Mikel... do you wish for me to tell them.. or destroy them?"
"No!" Mikel shouted as the rest of the group looked at her as if she was insane. They could not hear the voice that was now tormenting the poor girl.
"Mikel, are you alright?" Regal asked as Mikel put her hands on her ears and nodded.
"Mikel... you cannot hide from me. These people are evil... come back with your sisters!"
"Never..." Mikel whispered feircely.
"Then all shall be destroyed!" the voice roared. This time the entire group heard the voice and it filled them all with dread and fear.
"What was that?" Raine asked.
"Was that the voice of Helious?" Kratos whispered.
"There's only one way to find out," Zelos replied as they walked on. Mikel had to force her legs to move seeing as her only secret was about to revealed. And after finally making some friends too. They all stopped before a large grey dragon with green eyes that gleamed with hatred.
"Mikel, you've abandoned your own family." The group looked toward Mikel as she shook her head, tears forming in her eyes.
"Oh Little sister Mikel!" The group looked up to see Nikila and Selena next to her.
"Big sister?" Mikel whispered but Selena still heard.
"That's right. I am your big sister and because you failed to remember this earlier they will all die!" Selena shouted as she pointed, not at Lloyd's group but at a faraway mountain.
"You're going to shoot a mountain?" Zelos asked as Helious gathered energy in her mouth.
"Feel the wrath of betrayal... the lives of those beings are on your shoulders, Mikel..." Helious said as she launched a powerful beam of light that seemed to be surrounded by wind. It blasted right through the mountain and continued before it finally turned towards the ground... right above Asgard.
The blast tore the entire city to peices. It collapsed and the mountains surrounding it feel onto top of it as well. Small sreams and shouts could be heard as the group stood there, shocked at what they were seeing. Mikel just stared. She began to go through an entire melt down. She turned to Selena.
"Why, Selena? Why?" she screamed. Selena merely smiled.
"Because Goddess ordered us to," she replied simply.
----------------------------------------------
Yuan: o.O huh?
Lloyd: who's Goddess?
Me: ... you'll find out next chappie.
Genis: And just when will that come out?
Me: The moment i get more reviews...
Yuan: Alright then i guess i'll get working on the next cheer.
Me: Nope. I'm writing your cheer.
Yuan: aw crap.
Kratos: Yuan, you shouldn't have mentioned it. She wouldn't have remembered.
Genis: Review and she'll update soon.
