Evelyn Dark: 'Ello, I have just one thing or maybe two to say before you get to read the chapter unless you just skipped this and went ahead. Anyway I have a shot out to the awesome and great AnimeAngel809, who was so kind in spamming my email—in a good way. I'm so sorry I didn't get this up in three days like I told you TT_TT. I lied, that's the only excuse I could come up with besides the fact that I got lazy and I blame Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm. Now that I think about it I only had one thing to say anyway continue.

Mooching with the Renegades: Part 2

--Settou motte za Renegades: Bu Ni--

(Chapter edited)

Yuan office, Yuan's office, where the hell is Yuan's office. I just growled as I took another turn, looking around the hall way for any door that resembled as the Seraph's—which by the way looks like just about every door in the base just my luck. Running through the hall way, hearing my shoes hit the floor like tip-tap-tip-tap making sure not to freak out—which I did a lot at first thinking it was a renegade following me but after a while I've learned that their foot steps were like a parading elephants with some buzzing noises from the rat like robots that came with them. Looking at a door at the end of the hallway, I bit the side of my cheek as I came to the decision of checking that place out and maybe getting an idea of where to be.

Skidding to a halt to wait for the door to open automatically, I had made a past mistake in slamming into the door for not paying attention. Let's just say that Lloyd will learn not to laugh at me if he doesn't want to be in pain, or get my 'evil' glare as he says. Hearing and watching the door go swoosh I bound forward taking out my rapier and holding it in front of me, looking around for any possible threats. Seeing none I kept my rapier in my hand just incase some lone renegade happens to come in, again this has happened to me before; I'm starting to learn from my mistakes and Lloyd's, but mostly Lloyd's because he makes more of them.

Looking around I found myself in a blue and gray room with a computer terminal and a round circle in front of me, it looked like it opened up for something. All the rest of the stuff was just wires and tubes that seem to keep the computer working and other things that I didn't even know. Examining the place to see where I am it clicked as I remembered that this was where the group stole Yuan's Rehairds. Smiling it gave me an idea, more of a back up plan as I was still trying to come up with some lie to tell to the group so I could join them. If I happen to separate from them, before the tower I'll at least be able to get to Tethe' Alla.

Which I'm sure I'm not going to the tower, I'm pretty sure Kratos won't have the guts to kill his own son and I'm sure that the group will become powerful enough to take down Remiel. The only worry I have is if the Renegades will come in time to save the group from Mithos, that's my main concern. If I do have a chance to travel with the group, I'll have to keep a close eye on their progress in strength and if they don't seem strong enough I just might have to come along. Hey free chance in riding a dragon, I'm up for that.

Letting my eyes linger on the room, I looked behind me to see why Lloyd was quite. When turning around did I realize that I lost Lloyd.

"Oh crap," I said with exasperation looking at the absent form of Lloyd, my shoulders sagging.

Angela has just earned the title of

Lone Wolf

It's not that she doesn't like company; it's that she looses her companions.

Great I lost him, don't tell me I'm going to have to turn around and go looking for him. Hmmmm there could be a possibility that he's found Yuan's office. I lit up at the thought, maybe if I find him in time I could see his little encounter. That's just something I can't miss, taking a step forward I realized why I was standing here for thinking. Turning around I ran over to the terminal, looking at the computer I narrowed my eyes and furrowed my eye brows as I tried to figure this thing out.

Pressing a green button I found the computer terminal to turn on, smiling in my victory I started to brows around the computer data. Looking over the words I found the word Rheaird listed and I used the ball like mouse to click on it, there I found some commands. Scrolling through I clicked on open hanger, waiting a few seconds I felt the rumble as the circle opened in half to show a lime green air craft. That had to be a Rheaird, now then were to store it.

Uh... Oh mighty Goddess Fate, you wouldn't happen to have an extra … wing pack on ya would you? I asked looking up; I heard a silver bell chuckle. Waiting there for a few minutes, I frowned as I turned around and right there next to the computer terminal was a brown and white back bag. It was small enough to fit in my messenger bag, walking forward I lifted it up and walked over towards the Rheaird.

There I froze realizing I didn't even know what to do, thinking it over some I opened it up and pointed it at the Rehaird. I nearly dropped the bag when I found the Rheaird to vanish in a puff of smoke, well since I didn't drop the bag I fell on my butt. Getting up I rubbed my butt, sighing I turned back around to find the little machine where you could buy some gels.

I knew it would be best to buy some now so I didn't have to waste my mana on healing Lloyd; he just had to blindly run out in the front of a battle and get hurt. I was already getting a headache from so much use of mana, so it would be best to stock up some orange gels and apple gels for Lloyd. Grabbing some Gald I stepped up forward towards the yellow machine and inserted some Gald, pressing the button near a picture of an orange gel I selected the amount I wanted and had to put some more Gald just to buy it. I did the same thing for the apple gel, turning around I made a head start jump to gather my speed and run out of the room and back into the labyrinth like hall ways.

An ear piercing alarm seems to start scaring the crap out of me, jumping up into the air I looked around to see red lights starting to flash. Oh great, I'm definitely going to have a headache.

After many times of opening a door in the base and finding things I really didn't want to see, I finally came to a door. Looking at the door I took a deep breath and slowly opened the door open, peeking inside I found it empty. Going in farther mostly out of curiosity I jumped when I heard the door slam shut. Turning so fast I almost tripped over my own feet I saw Yuan glaring at me.

"Oh this is just craptastic," I said sarcastically under my breath, my hand reaching for my foil, Robin. We just stood there staring at each other; from there I could observe him. I know that sounded a bit creepy okay, but what can I say, I'm a Yuan fan. He had turquoise eyes and cerulean long hair; you know how many people had preserved him as a gayish wimpy guy. Wow are they mistaken, he's all manly, like prunes. Okay that was a bad simile but what ever, he had a very strong look jaw and he was way taller than me. I had to literally look up at him and glare; I didn't like people towering over me. I mean this body seems to be shorter than mine; I was 5' 6" this body seemed like 5' 1" like my friend. He wore his usual red, black, and gold armor.

"Who the hell are you," he finally said, I just smiled straightening my posture.

"Lucy mc-I'm-gonna-kick-your-ass-if-you-don't-get-out-of-my-way," I replied, he just growled at my response. I know I shouldn't really back talk him since he's like a seraph and all that, but I just live to annoy people.

"Hmph typical of an elf," he said. That just really annoyed me, obviously I'm an elf at the moment, but does everyone I meet have to say the obvious. Of course being to stupid person who acts or talks before she acts I just had to open my mouth.

"Okay if you bitch about my species one more time, I am going to kick your puny half elf ass, you cherub." I yelled. He just stood there shocked at what I yelled at him, I'm not sure what I said shocked him but I could care less. Charging at him, with robin first I readied my mana for a Tech.

"Beast," I hollered as I ran straight at him, the shape of a lion's head appeared in the color of purple. Yuan finally got out of his shocked moment to jump to the side out of my way, just what I needed him to do. Not wasting any time I flung the door open and ran out into the hall way once more. Behind me I could hear some cursing, really I could care less I just needed to get out of here and fast. Turning a corner, I put my left hand on my right side burning from all the running I was doing.

"SHIT," I cursed as some Renegade soldiers rounded the corner and headed straight at me.

"Don't let her get away," Yelled the voice of Yuan's. I just groaned as I readied another Tech, I didn't stop what so ever.

"Beast," I called out as the lion's head appeared again in purple as I put my right shoulder first into the group of Renegades, crashing right into them several flew away from the impact. Skidding to a stop I put up my right arm to block the blade coming at me, boy was I stupid. It stopped the blade but it sure did damage my right arm, crying out in pain I switched my rapier to my left hand as I blindly stabbed it into the man's stomach. Pulling it out I let it clatter to the floor, I knelt to the floor my left hand holding on to my right arm, trying really hard to stop the bleeding.

"Water Blade," cried a kid's voice, to the side I could see little blades of water shooting out at a Renegade that was running at me. It caused the man to skid onto the floor into his other comrades. Trying to ignore the pain as much as I could, I tried to concentrate on a spell. It was working but very slowly as the battle was still going on, everything was such a blur I could hardly tell who was who. Holding out my good hand I let the frigid cold sensation spread from my chest to my hand then to my finger tips.

"Icicle," I said my voice sounded so, raspy and weak. Pricking my ears I could hear the ringing of the crystals erupting from the ground and then the scream of some guy. From that I knew that I had hit my mark, feeling a chilly breeze as someone got close to me I flinched.

"It's okay; I'm not going to hurt you. Let me see your arm," said the woman's voice, it was stern so I didn't object slowly lifting my arm towards the woman. My vision still a blur from all the pain, I hissed when I felt her hand on my wound.

"First Aid," she said, I kind of felt stupid. I knew the spell first aid and yet I didn't use it what so ever. Guess the pain was getting to my head; the pain sort of subsided only leaving a thudding feeling in it.

"Uh.. Thanks," I said remembering my manners; slowly I got up on my feet. Finally being able to see, I looked around to see Lloyd. Getting really annoyed that he ditched me I walked up to him and smacked him in the head.

"Ow what was that for?" He said putting up his hands to protect himself if I attempted at hitting him again. I was, too, pissed to say anything that I might regret. So I just growled at him, making him flinch again.

"I suggest we get out of here," Some guy said, I was too mad to pay attention to who said it. Turning on my heels, I bent over to pick up my foil and sheath it in the loop of my belt. Walking through the hall ways, I kept my narrowed eyes on the path before us as we ran through the area.

Looking behind me to see the dead Renegades I realized that Yuan must have split before the Regeneration group got around the corner so as to not be seen by Kratos. Looking in front of me I found Genis, the little actor, his older sister Raine, the one who healed my arm, Lloyd, Colette, and the person who said it would be best to get out of here, Kratos Aurion.

Seeing Lloyd slow down, I kept my eyes in front of the path.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lose you but I got distracted and lost sight of you so I tried to look for you but.."

"Oh stop with your excuses, I'm getting a real headache. If I say I accept you apology will you shut up," I said peevishly.

"Sure!" He exclaimed a bit too loud; I turned my head to him and glared. He turned bright red, mumbling sorry to me. It took a while, but thankfully Raine and Kratos were able to remember how they came in and get us out of this god forsaken place.

Unfortunately we were met with sand and more sand and the hot sun, I was starting to prefer the dark hall ways of the Triet base now. After a while of running through the sand; the sun thankfully was setting for us to get the whiff of cold air.

So here I was dragging my feet on the sand, me head down to my chest sighing. I would be complaining quite loudly but I think Lloyd's complaining was enough for me, so I just kept my mouth shut.

"I'm so hot" Lloyd asked for the hundredth time today in the desert. Getting quite annoyed, I just turned my head at him and glared.

"If you keep up with the complaining, you'll soon be freezing to death!" I icily exclaimed to him, not even waiting for his reaction I turned my head to continue my trudging along in the desert. After a few more hours of walking, I didn't hear a single peep from Lloyd and we finally came to Triet.

I brightened up at the sight of the village, bounding off to the village with new renewed energy I threw myself at the stone floor of Triet. On my knees I put my hand up to the sky and started to cry, real tears falling down my cheeks.

"HALLELUJAH, OH THANK YOU FATE!!!!!" I exclaimed putting face down to the ground so I could kiss the ground.

"Uh Professor, is Yomi going to be okay," I heard the distant voice of Lloyd; I could care less what he had to say all I wanted to do is kiss the dusty floor of Triet.

"She may be experiencing some Dehydration that could have caused delirium," Raine said in reply. Is she calling me crazy?

Evelyn Dark: Hia, I'm doing another cliff hanger but not much of one to be exact. I know I kind of skipped ahead, but again I'm just to lazy to keep going ^^;.

The Fire Temple

"THE PHAAAAANTOM OF THE OPERA IS HEEERRRE, INSIIIIDE MY MIIIND," I sang, trying my best for it to sound nice. Well if it did or not I got the Tiger cat thingy fire guardian's attention from Lloyd. For a moment there, I just grimaced. Regretting opening my mouth.
