Noitnemid: This is the first chance I have had to work on the story since, uh whenever I posted the second chapter. By the way, chapter one is now re-written the way I like it. Any who, Sephiroth, if you would?
Sephiroth: I still don't know how you got me to agree to this. Noitnemid does not own Tales of Symphonia or Final Fantasy VII.
Noitnemid: Oh! Before I forget, this chapter is rated M due to something that Vidarr implies. On with the fic.
Lloyd, Genis, and Colette had made it to the temple where Phaidra did the absolute stupidest thing she could have done. She gets the Desians to focus on Colette. Lloyd and company defeat the first wave of Desians, but Vidarr manages to knock them down. Kratos intervenes allowing Lloyd and company to recover, but Botta decides to actually get involved with the fight and engages Kratos. Vidarr proves to still be too much for Lloyd, Genis, and Colette. Colette manages to be the last standing before Vidarr.
Vidarr: Heh heh. I'm gonna enjoy making you scream girly.
Before anyone can react to this statement, a growling noise is heard and quickly gets louder. Suddenly a large object with wheels comes up over the stairs using them like a ramp. A woman wearing a sleeveless black outfit back flips off of the object and lands on Vidarr, feet first. Upon landing, she back flips again and lands next to Colette. After putting on a pair of gloves, Tifa proceeds to beat the crap out of Vidarr.
Meanwhile, the wheeled object had landed and the remaining rider calmly opens two side compartments and pulls out three swords, one ending up sheathed on his back. He proceeds to then walk to the fighting Kratos and Botta. Cloud calmly gets between them and blocks both weapons. Botta blinks while Kratos, aware of what's going on, pulls his sword back and salutes Cloud with it (for those of you who don't know what I mean, he put the sword in front of his face so that his eyes were on either side of it). Kratos then takes a look over to where Vidarr and Tifa are fighting. Or, rather, were fighting. Vidarr is on the ground. Tifa is standing with on foot on his back dusting her hands off.
Botta: Damn! Defeated this easily! Retreat!
So, Kratos, Cloud, and Tifa all have made their appearance. What will Lloyd's reaction to them be? Find out next time. By the way, I'm toying with having the other FFVII party members show up throughout the story and join. If I did, Yuffie would be the first, because it would be fun to see two ninjas fighting. Oh and if you see any spelling mistakes, tell me in your review. Anyway, see you all next chapter.
