HB: Hey all! Sorry this chapter is short! I need to select a group of people to help speed up this part... Link?

Link: Yep!

HB: WOO! Kratos? Dante?

Kratos: Very well then.

Dante: Let's rock!

HB: YAY! Anyway, the small crossovers are Naruto, Legend of Zelda and something I can't remember. Dante?

Dante: Hawkblade doesn't own Tales of Symphonia, Devil May Cry or anything mentioned here, though he does wish he did. But they are property of their respective creators.

The trio collapsed through the gates of Iselia, bruises, cuts and bite marks showing the attacks that had hit them. "I'm never… going to look at rabbits that way again." Tyler muttered, picking himself off the sandy floor... "Sand!?" He shouted. Genis and Lloyd both shot up as well.

"What's sand doing in Iselia?" Lloyd asked, but was answered abruptly by a blue robed and hooded figure with gray skin flew past. A scythe imbedded itself in the ground near it and its red eye's stopped glowing as it melted into sand. Tyler blanched. "What was that!?" Genis shouted.

"Hell Pride… demons!" Tyler exclaimed, drawing his sword as sand shot up around them and formed more demons, some wearing red and beak like faces. They also had scythes. Lloyd and Genis warily drew their weapons as well. "Are they tough?" Genis asked tentatively. Tyler shook his head. "The weakest of them all." He said. The demons hopped around and then charged.

The three boys raised their weapons to defend when the demons were obliterated by a bright light. When they lowered their weapons, the group looked around confused. "An illusion?" Tyler asked. The three looked at each other, shrugged and went to Collette's place. There, the entire 'you aren't coming' talk happened, and Tyler was included. But the young half devil knew why.

Z Skit: Demons?

Lloyd: Tyler.

Tyler: Hn?

Lloyd: How did you know those things were demons? And so much about them?

Tyler: I just do.

Genis: You fought them before?

Tyler: That and… I'm not exactly what you think I am. –Leaves-

Lloyd: What does that mean?

Z Skit End.

After a confusing talk, the group left Iselia. Noishe, the Protozoan joined them, and then left as soon as they entered the forest. He ran away because of the monsters. The trio fought through the deadly forest, collecting another set of injuries. Except, Lloyd noticed, Tyler. His wounds were gone. He decided he'd query later. And then congratulated himself he said a complex word.

As they reached a fork in the road, Genis turned and went towards a huge building that had an aura of foreboding around it. Lloyd turned. "Why are you going to the Iselia Human Ranch?" He asked the young silver haired one. "I need to see someone." Genis replied. Lloyd decided to follow and then…

"Tyler can come as well!" He said, dragging said half demon. When they walked near it, Tyler dragged the two others behind a bush. "Okay guys, there are security cameras. So we can't get too close. Can you see them Genis?" The youngest nodded. "Torch 'em." And one Fireball later, the group are talking to Marble.

"Oh, are these your friends Genis?" The old lady asked. "Yeah, this is Lloyd and Tyler." Tyler nodded and Lloyd waved. "Hey grams! Isn't that an Exspere? You know it's dangerous to have an Exsphere without a Keycrest like you have!" Tyler sighed. "As ever, Lloyd is a master of tact." He said sarcastically. "Listen, we gotta get you outta there. Trust me. I know what happens from Exspheres without Keycrests."

The three looked at him questioningly. "Hey, what can I say? Being only part human gives you insight." Tyler said. "Only part?" The two boys wondered while Marble just looked at him oddly. The half devil decided to take care of business. "Seeya in hell fence!" And cut through the wire with practiced ease.

"Come on ladies! Let'sgo!" The boy was running, Genis and Lloyd behind him. "What was that about?" They asked each other quietly as they ran.

HB: Again, sorry. I'll try to update faster and with a longer chapter soon!
