A/N's: Hi again!
Yuan: give me the cheer!
Genis: Why would you ask that? Don't tell me that you actually want to do this cheer?
Yuan: … Who told you that?
Raine: It's obvious that you really want to do it.
Lloyd: Whoa Professor where'd you come from?
Raine: I came looking for Genis…
Me: Ok it's getting too crowded in here! (Some how teleports them… somewhere else?)
Kratos: Now where are we?
Yuan: I think we're… in the other Renegade base.
Lloyd: Are we really?
Me: LLOYD! (Glomps him)
Lloyd: AH! Get off of me!
Yuan: Do I seriously have to do this cheer?
Me: (still glomping Lloyd) Yup! ;)
Yuan: … (Sighs) 1, 2, 3, 4, you won't believe what you're in for! 5, 6, 7, 8 Ana's made a new update!
Kratos: (smirks) that was very good Yuan. See, didn't I tell you that you made a better cheerleader than me?
Lloyd: Wow (Lips twitching… he's trying not to laugh) that was interesting?
Me: Meh, Lloyd you write it next time!
Lloyd: What really?
Yuan: (Falls to his knees) NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Me: o well… anyway on with the story!
Chapter 7: Fonirto
Mikel stared at the scene before her. The mountain collapsed into the already collapsing city of ruins. She knew that no one in that city would survive. She fell to her knees and covered her face with her hands. She cried silently. She knew now that the group around her who had just become her friends wouldn't trust her anymore.
"How could you!" Lloyd shouted as Helious turned to him and glared.
"Don't you dare you that tone with me you filthy Aurion!" she sneered as Kratos stepped forward.
"I dare you to repeat that again," he whispered quietly but dangerously.
"You two are filthy, blooded Aurions. The lives of my family are on your heads!" she screeched as she suddenly launched a ball of mana at the group. Seeing the danger right before him, Lloyd began to say the chant that was completely unknown to him yet seemed to natural.
"The one bonded to Efreet, the one who reigns with his Hell fires, Venforfte, I summon thee!" he shouted as a roar erupted from the sky and another ball of mana, though this time red, flew towards Helious' attack and the two connected, canceling each other out. It didn't cause a great explosion but it created enough smoke to bring down the visibility to zero percent.
"Run! Now!" Venforfte ordered and flapped his wings to clear some of the smoke near the stairs. The group found it and ran but Colette stopped next to Mikel.
"Mikel, we need to go! Now! Come on, let's go together," The former chosen said to the crying girl as Mikel looked up at her tears still flowing from her eyes.
"You still trust me?"
"Of course! You haven't done anything wrong." Mikel nodded happily as she and Colette followed the group outside. They stopped just outside the Balacruf. They looked towards the sky as the smoke continued to drift. Great roars rang through the air as the group turned and ran towards the city that had become ruins.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The group stopped and stared at what was once Asgard. They were around a mile away from the entrance. It wasn't that they didn't want to go closer, it was the fact that they couldn't. Everything within a mile of Asgard had collapsed. The mountains had been leveled as the ground still shook as the rock shifted in the place where Asgard once was. There was no way to rebuild Asgard. The city of ruins was completely obliterated beyond repair.
Mikel fell to her knees as she stared wide eyed. Colette put a hand on her shoulder.
"Mikel, this wasn't your fault, no matter what Helious says," Sheena told the girl softly as she shook her head.
"This was my fault no matter how you look at it," she replied.
"Then if you feel that way, do what you can to fix it," Lloyd told her with obvious idealism. Mikel looked him with a puzzled expression.
"What can I do to fix this?"
"Do whatever you think will make sure that this never happens to another town again." Mikel nodded as she stood up slowly. Colette smiled at her and held her hand. Mikel took her hand gratefully and lowered her head as a sign of respect to the dead. Venforfte then landed behind the group.
"All of you go to Fonirto, Undine's dragon. Go and fight with her. Unfortunately, I cannot because I am weak against the element of water. You must be cautious of the water bubbles surrounding her. No matter what you do, do NOT get trapped in them. You would die within 5 minutes. Go now before Helious sees you again," the red dragon ordered as the group quickly boarded their Reahird's and flew off toward the Thoda Geyser.
They landed at the cave entrance because the Thoda Geyser had been destroyed when Palmacosta had been destroyed. They walked through the empty temple. It was strange how none of the temples no longer had monsters in them. The group walked onto the warp panel and was instantly transported to the seal of water. As it was supposed to be, there stood a platform ready to carry on a person to Fonirto's cavern.
"Two people may fight me since I am choosing who will fight me," A voice told them as magic circles appeared beneath both Lloyd and Kratos. "Ah, I see that there is Aurion blood in you both. This is interesting. One wishes to atone for a great sin while the other carries the Eternal Sword. I am excited. Please step onto the platform and let our battle begin for this is what you wish no?" The voice told them softly.
"Was that Fonirto?" Lloyd asked quietly.
"It seems so. Well, Lloyd, shall we go?" Kratos replied as Lloyd nodded with that foolish grin of his. The both stepped forward onto the platform. As it began to move upwards, Mikel ran to it.
"Lloyd, catch!" she shouted as she tossed a brown bag to Lloyd who caught it.
"What is this thing?" he asked her as she winked at him.
"Use it during your fight!" she called back as Lloyd nodded. As the room below the two of them disappeared, Lloyd opened the brown bag to find shining twin blades. He pulled them out of the bag. He tried them as he thrust them through the air only to see a spark of electricity.
"Whoa!" he exclaimed as he received a slight jolt when he touched the metal of the blade.
"They appear to be blades that are used to fight water elemented beasts and creatures," his father told him as Lloyd looked into the bag once again.
"Hey Dad! There's another one in here! I think it's for you." He passed the blade onto his father who attached the sheath to his belt.
"I'll use it if need be." They soon arrived at Fonirto's cavern. Three quarters of the carven was rock while the other quarter was a shallow pool of water. Fonirto was standing on all fours in the shallow water. She appeared to be grinning at them.
"So I see that you've come to try and make me join you. Fools, I am too powerful to have my power abused by humans and half-elves. Unless by chance you beat me, no one will ever use my power," she told in a cold voice. She sounded completely opposite from when she was talking to them earlier.
"Talk about a personality switch. Your voice sounded much kinder when you chose us to fight you," Lloyd commented as Fonirto snorted.
"Be silent Eternal Swordsman. A pathetic half-angel like yourself has no right to speak to me like that!" She told him calmly as Lloyd clenched his fist.
"Alright, I've had enough of your insults! Let's get this over with and we'll show you how strong we are and then you'll have to join us!" he shouted as he unsheathed the two new swords that Mikel had lent him.
"You still want me to join with you? How pathetic. I am not like Helious for I have put the past behind me. There's no way that I'll ever lose to you, Eternal Swordsman!" Fonirto shouted as three bubbles appeared, one on her right and left side and one above her head. "Now come and attack me if you dare!" she sneered as Lloyd and Kratos charged at her with angelic speed.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lloyd: Hey why'd you stop it when it was getting good?
Me: Because I need more reviews! I'm not happy enough today to write more… But I honestly swear to write a much longer chapter if I get at least 3 reviews for this chapter… (Smiles evilly) I have an idea…
Yuan: I'm begging you don't let Lloyd write my cheer please!
Me: (Looks at Yuan, who is still in a mini skirt and pink t-shirt) (Start laughing)
Kratos: … Review…
