Hi everyone! So I'm posting this instead of writing my paper - yay procrastination! :)
Chapter 6 starts where Chapter 5 ended - Lloyd's group has left Dirk's House and is starting the regeneration journey. They are in Iselia Forest when all of a sudden Venny (Father Steven, remember him?) bursts onto the path! What could he want...?
I don't own Tales of Symphonia.
((Lloyd POV))
"Father Steven! What are you doing here?" The Professor asked, rushing over to the priest, who was bent over double panting.
We all crowded around him except Kratos, who stepped back and continued to scan his eyes around the Forest, looking for any potential threats. I turned back to Venny just as he managed to huff out: "Desians… attack… village… Chosen… run…"
"What?" Genis exclaimed. Colette put her hand over her mouth in horror, and the Professor's mouth set into a grim line.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I yelled at Venny.
"The Desians… are attacking… Chosen, you must… run." Venny panted out.
Kratos' eyes narrowed slightly, and the Professor shook her head. Our home was being attacked, and he wanted me to run?
"Hell, no! We have to save everyone!" I said, fisting my hands angrily.
"Lloyd, think about it. We knew this was a possibility since you and Genis went to the Ranch. The most important thing right now is completing the regeneration journey, and to do that, we need you to live." The Professor said.
"No." I said vehemently, shaking my head. "If this really is our fault, then we need to be there! The Desians will stop once they see me! We can at least evacuate everyone!"
"Lloyd, use your head. We need to get out of this area as quickly as possible." The Professor said.
"Fine. You go. I'll meet you at the House of Salvation outside of Iselia, after I beat the snot outta those filthy Desians!" I said.
"I'm going, too! Raine, that's our home! We can't just abandon it! I don't want to move again…" Genis said.
"I'll fight, too! Father and Grandmother are still in the village. I hope they are all right…" Colette said worriedly.
"I'm sure they're fine, Colette." The Professor said, trying to soothe her student.
I turned to Venny. "Venny, tell us everything you know."
"No, Chosen One. I will not aid you with this. You must run, please!" Venny said.
"Venny…" I growled, taking a menacing step toward him. Kratos intervened before I could beat the snot out of him, placing a hand on my shoulder and giving me a cold look, making me back down.
"It is the Chosen's wish that we save the village, so that is what we will do. It would be safer for him if we went into the situation with as much information as possible." Kratos said.
The Professor sighed, and nodded reluctantly. "Father Steven, please listen to Kratos. We will need to know everything you can tell us. How many Desians invaded? What do they want? What are they doing to the townspeople?"
Venny looked from Kratos to the Professor to me and bowed his head, giving in.
"At least fifty Desians invaded, along with their leader Forcystus. When I left, Frank was leading most of the villagers into the schoolhouse, which the militia have managed to defend so far. The Desians kill all in their path, and set fire to the homes in their wake. Forcystus is demanding retribution from the Chosen One, since he attacked his Human Ranch yesterday. Surely that is a lie, Chosen One?" Venny said.
"Technically…" I said.
"Oh, no. Chosen One, please reconsider. The villagers will manage. You need to run away from this fight, not toward it!" Venny exclaimed.
"I'm sorry Venny, but as the Chosen One, I can't just abandon the villagers to suffer. If you continue up this path, you'll reach my Dad's house. Tell him what's going on, and that we'll be sending the wounded and evacuees to his house. Tell him I'm fine, and I remember everything he taught me." I said.
Venny, realizing it was useless to argue with me nodding and said: "I'll pray for you, Chosen One." He turned away from the group and headed toward Dad's house.
"Let's go." I said.
"Wait – we should be at full strength for this. I still have some sandwich ingredients left over from yesterday. Here, everyone." Genis said, pulling out sandwich makings and rapidly giving everyone a sandwich.
The Professor nodded. "Eat and walk, everyone. Time is against us."
Kratos nodded and took the lead, walking briskly.
I followed immediately behind him, drawing my weapons as soon as I finished eating, with Genis and Colette following my example. Kratos, somehow, already had his blade out, and it glittered in the filtered light through the Forest trees. The Professor always had her staff out, using it as a walking stick when we weren't fighting. As we neared the west entrance to the village, we could see pillars of smoke and hear the terrified screams of the villagers and the malicious laughter of the Desians.
"Dammit!" I said, starting forward.
"Lloyd, wait. We must proceed with caution." Kratos said, stepping in front of me and leading us into the village. Most of the buildings were either already piles of smoldering rubble or on fire. There were dead bodies in the streets, and I tried not to recognize the faces twisted in agony, but I couldn't help it – there was Marcial, and Eve, and Tony, and…
"Hey, more survivors!" A Desian yelled as a group of five Desians rounded the corner and approached us.
"Kill them!" Their leader commanded.
The Professor and Genis immediately began casting.
"Colette, stay back!" I yelled as Kratos and I rushed forward.
I ducked under the whip attack of one Desian, jabbing him in the stomach, winding him and immediately spun around and parried the blow from a sword wielding Desian. Kratos seemed to be simultaneously fighting the other three. "Aqua Edge!" Genis yelled, blasting one of my Desians and two of Kratos', also extinguishing some of the fires that burned behind us. The Desians that got hit with the water force collapsed to the ground momentarily, and I took the chance to fully face the Desian whip-master I'd been fighting, yelling "Tiger Blade!" as I smacked him viciously in the helmet, knocking him out. Kratos impaled one of his enemies, shouting "Super Sonic Thrust!" The Desian gasped and made a gurgling sound, sliding off Kratos' sword and dropping to the ground, dead.
"Barrier!" Raine shouted, and I was enveloped in a protective mana barrier. Kratos suddenly spun in front of me, blocking me from all three remaining Desians.
"Wh-" I started but he interrupted.
"Lloyd, while you have the Barrier – take the swords from the two fallen Desians." Kratos said, as he gracefully parried all three attacks aimed at us.
I nodded and dropped my wooden blades, swiftly taking the blade from its sheath on the fallen whip-masters body. I darted over to the body of the Desian Kratos had killed, with Kratos covering me and Colette throwing in a few Pow Hammers as well.
A wayward whip strike escaped them, though, and my thigh stung as I crouched down and retrieved the blade from the corpse's grasp. Hissing, I stood and threw myself back into the fight. "Hurricane Thrust!" I yelled, pushing out my mana and stabbing the Desian floated before me. The blades easily cut through his protective leather clothing and actually did real damage. The Desian cried out in pain, his cries mingling with his comrades', who Kratos had just killed.
"Fire Ball!" Genis yelled, and the wounded Desian I had been fighting died as his body caught fire, leaving only one enemy remaining. This Desian was panting hard, and I joined Kratos in battling him. Completely in tune with one another, we yelled "Sonic Thrust!" at the same time and impaled the Desian. He never stood a chance.
Kratos grunted as he removed his sword from the Desian's gut, and I quickly mirrored him.
"Let's get moving." He said.
We all nodded, knowing now was not the time to celebrate our victory.
We crept along the road, taking out any stray Desian we came across and ushering any live villagers to the west exit and Dad's house. We turned onto the road facing the schoolhouse, and saw Frank and two other militia men backed up against the door, facing down three Desians.
"Hey, you bastards!" I yelled as we raced up behind them.
"What the…" one started to say, but he was quickly beheaded by Kratos.
"Blame your fate." He murmured, as the other two whipped around to be faced by me. I slashed my makeshift twin blades across their stomachs, and they both fell to the ground. Mercilessly, Kratos and I impaled them with our swords.
"Father!" Colette yelled, rushing up to her father and hugging him tightly.
"Colette! Chosen One! What are you doing here?" Frank asked.
"We're here to help, of course!" I said.
"Chosen One…" Frank started, but the Professor interrupted him.
"Now isn't the time for lectures. Are most of the villagers inside the schoolhouse?" She asked.
Frank nodded, and stopped hugging Colette. "Yes, though it's getting harder to search for survivors…"
The Professor nodded. "We should get these people started to Dirk's house, and sweep the village for any remaining villagers."
"You guys do that. I'm going to the center of town and settling this." I said.
"What? Lloyd, that's where Forcystus is!" Genis exclaimed.
"I know." I said grimly. "If I don't show up, he will never take his Desians and leave Iselia. I need to face him."
"Then I need to, too. It's my fault we were at the Ranch." Genis said.
I shook my head. "No, it's too dangerous."
"What, so it's fine for you to go, but too dangerous for me? Don't be stupid, Lloyd." Genis said.
Kratos raised his eyebrow at me. "I will be going with you, of course."
I shook my head once more, and Kratos opened his mouth to speak.
"Hear me out." I said.
Kratos closed his mouth, and nodded slightly.
"The most important thing right now is saving the village. We need to keep as many people alive and safe as possible, but we also can't leave the Desians the spoils of the town – we can't give them Iselia. So, Professor – you, Frank, and Colette should lead everyone in the schoolhouse out the west exit and into the Forest. Travel as fast as you can until you get to Dad's house, and treat the wounded. Professor, you're a good healer, even if you can't use healing spells. They'll need your help. Frank, I don't know where the Mayor is, and I don't care. The people will follow you. And Colette should be with you, she's your daughter. Genis and I will head to Forcystus. Venny said he doesn't want us dead; he wants to punish us. We'll go there and I'll negotiate with him, get the Desians to leave. Kratos, I need you to do the most important thing – sweep the village. Find any survivors you can and direct them to the Forest. You're a stronger fighter than me and will move faster on your own. If it helps, as soon as you're sure no one's left, you can join Genis and me in the center of town."
Kratos thought it over for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Most of what you say makes sense."
I smiled at him. "Thanks."
"But I don't like leaving you defenseless." He said.
I shook my head. "I won't be. I have real weapons now, and Genis of course! My Cruxis Crystals makes me a stronger fighter, besides."
"I don't like it, Lloyd. I understand your reasoning, but still…" The Professor said.
"We don't have time to come up with another plan. This will work and save the most people." I said.
Colette nodded. "Yeah. We need to save everyone!" She said.
Reluctantly, Raine nodded. "Be careful, you two."
"If you get in over your heads, yell for me. I'll hear you. I'll come." Kratos said.
I nodded. "Right, let's do this! Good luck, guys!" I said.
"Wait." Kratos said, his hand on my shoulder stopping me.
"What?" I asked.
"First Aid." Kratos murmured. Blue light engulfed me and my Cruxis Crystal pulsed as my wounds healed and I was restored to full strength. Kratos repeated the action with Genis, then nodded.
I grinned at him. "Thanks, Kratos."
"Hmph. Don't die, Lloyd." Kratos said, before streaking off into the village. I blinked, then shrugged.
The Professor, Colette, and Frank all wished us luck and headed into the schoolhouse to start evacuating the villagers there.
"Let's go, Genis." I said.
He nodded, and followed me as I headed to the center of town. I really hoped my reasoning was right. Because if it wasn't, I just might be leading my best friend to his death.
A ring of about twenty Desians were standing loosely around a green haired half-elf with an eye patch and a golden canon-type thing attached to his left arm. The ground was stained red and a dozen bodies littered the ground.
Holding my head up high, I strode into the center of town with confidence, Genis following close behind me.
"Lord Forcystus! There he is!" One of the Desians shouted, and every Desian turned to stare at me.
"You Desian bastards!" I yelled.
"Well, well. You have a mouth on you, I see. Listen up, you inferior being. I am Lord Forcystus, a Desian Grand Cardinal and superior half-elf. Chosen One, Lloyd Irving – you are hereby charged with breaking the non-aggression treaty, and will be punished." Forcystus said.
"Like hell! You're the ones that broke the treaty when you attacked us at the Temple!" I yelled.
"What is he talking about?" One of the Desians asked.
"The boy speaks nonsense." Forcystus said.
"Oh, I see. They must be after him!" Another Desian said.
"They?" Genis asked.
"Lloyd Irving, we have prepared an appropriate opponent for your crime. Bring it in!" Forcystus yelled.
Two Desians disappeared out the south entrance of Iselia only to reenter moments later pulling a giant monster on a chain. The monster was huge, at least twice my height, and had long limbs, with its hands dragging on the ground. A chain collar was attached to its neck and held in the hands of the Desians pulling it. It had one giant red eye and a black gaping hole lined with razor sharp teeth for a mouth. It let out a piercing wail as it was brought before us, and I noticed a red stone glittering on the back of its one hand. It was wearing some kind of sack garment that barely covered its torso.
"What is that thing?" Genis asked fearfully, cowering behind me. I stared at it, stunned. I'd never seen such a monster before!
"This is your punishment. Be judged!" Frocystus said, signaling the Desians, who dropped the chain and whipped the monster from behind, forcing it on us.
"Dammit!" I yelled, raising my blades.
"Lloyd! I'll help, too!" Genis said, immediately charging up a spell.
"Demon Fang!" I yelled, running up to the monster. It barely stumbled, and swiped at me with one giant hand. I dodged, stabbing it in the leg. It let out a wail and slammed both hands to the ground. I rolled out of the way, narrowly avoiding being smushed like a pancake. "Super Sonic Thrust!" I yelled, jabbing its other leg viciously. It wailed again, and Genis yelled, "Aqua Edge!" A jet of water blasted the monster, and it actually stumbled back a step or two. The water also soaked the surrounding Desians, but I had no time to laugh at them as the monster was suddenly charging me.
"Shit!" I yelled, running to the left, barely dodging. I spun around and pushed mana into my swords, my Cruxis Crystal glowing as I yelled, "Hurricane Thrust!" Blades of wind slashed the monster, and while it was distracted I furiously slashed my blades at it. It wailed again and stumbled back, clearly in pain. I stood in front of Genis, panting slightly, my blades still raised and my Crystal flashing as he continued to charge up another spell.
"Lord Forcystus! Just as you thought!" A Desian yelled.
"The Angelus Project! Unbelievable! Lloyd – you will give me your Cruxis Crystal!" Frocystus yelled. I ducked under the swipe of the monster, nicking its arm with my blades.
"What?" I yelled. "No way! This is a memento of my Mom, who you Desian bastards murdered!" I said, dodging another attack.
"Fire Ball!" Genis yelled! The monster wailed in pain, and I stabbed it again.
Forcystus growled. "You WILL give me that Crystal!" He said, starting forward. Suddenly the monster lashed out and wrapped into long limbs around him
"Ugh!" He grunted. I stared, open mouthed, and Genis halted in casting another spell.
A voice suddenly came from the monster: "Lloyd… Genis… Run…"
"N-No way, it can't be…" I said, staring at the monster in horror.
"M-Marble?" Genis cried.
"Genis… you were like a grandson to me…" Marble said.
"Marble? Marble!" Genis cried out. I stared at the monster, horror washing over me. I suddenly knew without a doubt that her Exsphere must have been removed and without a Key Crest to contain it…
"Dammit…" I whispered, my eyes watering. Genis was already crying softly.
"Run away… Genis… hurry!" Marble said. Her monstrous form suddenly started to glow, and I shoved Genis to the ground as he screamed her name. Marble tightened her grip on Forcystus as her body imploded.
"No!" Genis sobbed from under me, I having shielded his smaller body.
"Protect Lord Forcystus!" One of the Desians yelled, and Forcystus was immediately surrounded by Desians.
I stood up and pulled Genis up, hugging him. He pulled away and stared at his feet, crying.
"Chosen One… as long as you have that Crystal… I will always come after you." Forcystus said as he shakily stood up. His body suddenly started to fade, and I gasped, realizing the Desians were warping him out of Iselia. Good, I thought grimly. I hope his injuries are life-threatening.
"Let's retreat for now." One of the Desians' murmured. The others quickly nodded, and before I could blink they were hastily exiting Iselia's south exit. I ran my hand through my hair, still in shock over Marble's death. I looked down at my feet, and noticed a small round stone sparkling a short ways away from us, right where Marble had been…
I quickly crossed to it and picked it up. I walked over to Genis, who was still crying softly.
"Genis… Here." I said, holding out the small, blue Exsphere.
Genis sniffled and wiped his nose with the back of his hand, looking up at me with a question in his eyes. I pressed the stone into his hand and he stared at for a moment before his eyes widened and he whispered, "Marble."
"I think you should use it." I said.
"Yeah…" he mumbled.
"I'll fix the Key Crest with it and show you how to attach it later. Right now, we should…" I trailed off as I heard Kratos shout, "Lloyd!"
We both turned to see Kratos sprinting towards us. His clothes were covered in splatters of blood, but none of it seemed to be his.
"Lloyd. Are you all right?" Kratos asked, looking me and Genis over before scanning the area.
I sighed. "Yeah. What about you?"
Kratos nodded, and his posture relaxed. "I'm fine."
"Good! Did you get anyone else out?" I asked.
Kratos nodded again. "Yes, I sent several more people to Dirk's house, and have routed the village of the Desians."
My eyes widened. "You took out all the Desians in the town?" I asked, incredulous.
Kratos merely nodded.
Genis stuffed the Exsphere into his pocket and looked up at me with a strained smile. "Bet you couldn't do that, Lloyd!"
I smiled and lightly punched his arm. "Shut it!" I said, knowing my best friend would be okay.
"Where is Forcystus? What happened?" Kratos asked.
"Well, Frocystus was here with about twenty Desians and brought out a huge monster to fight us as our punishment for breaking the treaty. They had taken Marble's Exsphere off her, and without a Key Crest, she turned into a monster. She attacked Forcystus and exploded, injuring him. The Desians retreated, but Forcystus said he wanted my Crystal and would hunt me down until he got it." I explained.
Kratos raised his eyebrow and hmph'ed, before saying, "I'm sorry for your loss; and Forcystus will never get your Cruxis Crystal."
I nodded. "I know. It's my Mom's momento, after all."
"Yes…" Kratos said, frowning slightly before slipping on his usual stoic face.
"So this is all your fault!" A voice suddenly exclaimed.
We turned to the voice and Kratos drew his weapon, but sheathed it as the Mayor emerged. He had been hiding in the rubble of his house, it appeared.
"How many times did I tell you two not to go near the Ranch? It's your fault Iselia's destroyed! It's your fault so many people are dead!" The Mayor yelled.
I hung my head. "I'm sorry."
"Sorry? Sorry won't cut it! I don't care if you are the Chosen One, you have brought destruction onto this village! And didn't Forcystus say he will always hunt you down? You can't stay here!" The Mayor spewed.
Genis looked up with venom in his eyes. "What are you saying? Lloyd's the Chosen!"
"I don't care: until the world is regenerated and you have done your duty, you are no longer welcome in Iselia." The Mayor said.
"What? It's my fault just as much as his – if you're going to banish him, then you have to banish me, too!" Genis yelled.
"Genis…" I murmured.
Kratos raised an eyebrow at the Mayor. "Surely you won't be so foolish as to banish the person capable of your salvation?" He questioned.
The Mayor turned red in the face and sputtered a few times before spitting out, "You know nothing of the matters of this village, mercenary."
"Hmph." Kratos said.
"Chosen One, Lloyd Irving, and Genis Sage, you are hereby banished from Iselia until the completion of the regeneration of Sylvarant. Now, get out!" The Mayor roared.
I winced, but accepted the banishment. He was right after all – the death and destruction was my fault.
"Let's go to Dirk's house, Lloyd." Genis said, taking my arm and leading me away from a red-face Mayor. Kratos followed us silently and we traveled to the west exit of the village and through the Forest in silence. Once we neared Dad's, we could hear people talking and came into the clearing to see many villagers milling about.
"Chosen One!" A woman yelled, running up to us as we crossed the small bridge.
"Mara!" Genis said, happy she was safe.
"Chosen One! Are you all right?" Mara asked.
I gave her a strained smile. "I'm fine. What about you?"
"Oh, I'm fine. I'm glad you're safe, Chosen One." Mara said, smiling brilliantly at me before walking away to talk to some other villagers.
We entered my house and found it had been converted into an infirmary of sorts, with the Professor, Colette, and Dad tending to the wounded.
"I will heal the most sever wounds, then we should be off." Kratos said to me.
I nodded absently, and the Professor finally spotted us.
"Lloyd! Genis!" She said, rushing over to us and examining us for wounds.
"Sis!" Genis said, hugging her tightly.
"What happened?" The Professor asked, looking from me to her brother.
"Let's leave the wounded to Kratos and go upstairs to my room, so that I can tell you, Colette, and Dad all at once."
The Professor nodded and quickly said a few words to Dad and Colette. We all headed up into my room and I closed the door.
"Well…" I quickly gave them the same explanation I had given Kratos, adding the Mayor's words and our banishment.
"What a blunderin' idiot!" Dad exclaimed.
"I knew the Mayor was a fool, but I didn't realize how big a one." The Professor muttered darkly.
"I'm sorry!" Colette said.
"Don't be – it was my fault." I said.
"It was mine, too, Lloyd." Genis said stubbornly. I just shook my head. As the Chosen One, I should have known better.
"Oh, Dad – can you make Genis a Key Crest? The bracelet one you gave me broke when I was fighting, and he wants to use Marble's Exsphere." I said.
"O' course." Dad said.
"Thanks, Dirk." Genis said.
"Yes, thank you. It's a good idea for you to use the Exsphere, Genis. It'll help your fighting skills improve so I won't have to worry about you as much." The Professor said.
Genis stuck his tongue out at her, but smiled. She smiled back.
"How many people didn't make it here?" I asked.
"We took a head count, and out of the about two hundred villagers, only about thirty aren't here. We can hope some are alive like the Mayor, but…" the Professor said.
"They're probably dead." I finished.
The Professor nodded.
I swallowed hard, knowing that I was responsible for the loss of those lives.
"Lloyd." Dad said.
I looked up at him.
"Don't get discouraged. Ya did what ya thought was right. That's all anyone can ask of ya. I'm proud to call ya me son." Dad said.
"Dad… Thanks…" I said.
"We should head downstairs and gather our things. If we leave now, we can make it to the House of Salvation before nightfall." The Professor said.
We all nodded and left my room, heading downstairs. Dad walked over to his work area, which had been haphazardly shoved against the wall in order to make room for those that were injured, and retrieved some proceeded inhibitor ore, quickly carving the necessary charm before handing it to me. I stuffed it in my pocked and looked around. Kratos had healed all of the major injuries and some of the minor ones. He looked tired, but pleased.
"Kratos, we're going to leave now and head for the House of Salvation – I think we can make it there before nightfall." The Professor said.
Kratos nodded and left the house. Colette turned to her Father and Grandmother, Phaidra, saying her goodbyes. I turned to Dad.
"Well, I'm going. Again. For real, this time." I said, smiling slightly.
"Go on, out with ya. Shoulda been done and back by now." Dad said, teasing me.
I smirked. "Yeah, yeah."
"Lloyd. Be safe. Follow yer heart and yer gut. They'll lead ya down the right path." Dad said.
"Thanks, Dad." I said, I gave him and hug, and Colette, the Professor, Genis, and I left the house and joined Kratos. We traveled over the bridge, waving to the villagers who called out encouragements, and walked quickly through the Forest in silence, all of us lost in thought.
We exited the Forest and by unspoken agreement, skirted around Iselia instead of going through it. We got onto the main path just as the sun was starting to set, and we quickened our pace in order to make it to the House of Salvation. Thankfully, it wasn't that far away, and we entered the small circular building just as the sky darkened completely and the moon started to rise.
"Chosen One! Welcome!" one of the priests said.
"Yeah, hi. We'd like to stay here for the night before we start the journey tomorrow." I said.
"Of course, of course! If you'll follow me…" the other priest said. We were led upstairs and shown to two decent sized bedrooms, each with three beds.
"Unfortunately, these are the best accommodations we can offer you, Chosen One…" The Priest said nervously, wringing his hands.
I waved my hand. "It's fine, this is great. How much for one night?" I asked.
"Oh, no! We would never charge the Chosen! Sleep well, Chosen One and companions." The Priest said, before leaving.
I grinned. "Well, then: free night. Girls in one room and guys in the other?" I asked.
The Professor nodded. "Yes; go straight to bed, we'll leave bright and early tomorrow. Good night." She and Colette went into the other bedroom and closed the door. I took the bed by the windows, and Kratos took the bed by the door, leaving Genis the middle bed. We all took off our weapons, and Genis and I stripped into our underclothes to sleep.
"Lloyd." Kratos said.
"Y-yeah?" I said, having been just about to get into bed and fall asleep.
"Give me your swords – I will clean and sharpen them. This is something you need to do every night, but I will do it just this one night, so sleep well." Kratos said.
I grinned and handed him my weapons. "Thanks, Kratos."
He merely grunted and set to work. I rolled my eyes and curled up on the bed, noticing that Genis was already asleep.
"Good night…" I murmured as I drifted off to sleep to the peaceful sound of Kratos cleaning our swords.
Whew, what a chapter! What'd you think?
