Well ch. 6 is up. Well, the story is fleshed out a little more, Lloyd begins to change fighting styles, and well, read on... Enjoy. DISCLAIMER: I dont own ToS.


"Raine? What are you talking about? It couldn't be Raine." Lloyd couldn't believe what he was hearing. Sheena was dead-serious, however. "Do you have any proof", he said in an almost child-like manner.

"Lloyd, I know what I saw! I-I don't really want to believe it either, but remember, she had access to one of the weapons."

"How did she get one of them?"

"You don't remember? The battle at Palmacosta?" Lloyd shook his head, clueless as ever. "The weapon that elf used, it was the Evil Eye chakram. After the fight ended, you asked me to tell her to seal it. Now do you remember?"

"Oh, yeah. I know what you're talking about. Still, I refuse to believe it. What would give her the motivation to even consider that option. She's a holy healer, for Martel's sake."

"She might not have had the liberty of a choice", looking at the ground. Sheena was just as confused as Lloyd was but she knew what she saw. "It probably do us better if we got concrete proof."

"Concrete proof? You mean like a giant cement block or something?"

"Lloyd, I swear, it's really sad when you are serious about these responses. Concrete proof is just an expression. It means we would have to see her in the act or something along those lines."

"I still don't get it."

"Nevermind. At any rate, we should probably tell Genis about this. He's bound to know the truth."

"Are you sure that's a good idea? Genis is pretty stubborn. If I don't believe it at first, I doubt he would believe it."

"Yeah, but chances are he already knows..." Sheena was having a hard time facing this, almost more so than Lloyd was. Sheena and Raine had gotten pretty close in the last few days. "Raine, how could you do this to Genis and me?"

"I already know what" Genis inquired as he approached the two. Presea was still with them, both their faces somber, as if something happened.

"Umm", looking at Lloyd for help. He was making rapid motions with his hands. They all had the same meaning: stop. "Nothing. It's not important, not now anyway."

"Oh, okay. If you say so." The sun had set and the two moons shown brightly in the night sky. Both had found a resting position near each other. Sylvarant would eclipse Tethe'alla now and then, also. "If it's alright with everyone, I am going to go back to the inn. I don' t feel that good."

"Sure, Genis. Today was a little rough on everybody."

"I'll walk you back. Is that okay with you?" Presea, who wore the same face, deeply cared for the small half-elf.

"Yeah, that's fine." The two started walking back, Genis looking worse than before. Presea could be heard saying little phrases to him, in hopes of cheering him up.

"So, it looks as if he already knows, doesn't it." Lloyd nodded in agreement. "Poor kid." He didn't know about Virginia, so I understand how it hardly fazed him, but Raine was like a mother to Genis." Sheena could sympathize. Kuchinawa's betrayal made her feel the same way.

"Damn. Why do things, like this, keep happening?" His anger was starting to build up. "Somebody, please tell me why!" He drove his fist into a nearby wall.

"Lloyd..." Sheena looked on with caring eyes. "It must really pain him to see his best friend suffering. Especially because the pain is from something he can't control." She walked up behind him and turned him around.

"Sheena, what are you-" She, unexpectedly, hugged him. He joined her. "Thank you, Sheena. I bet you could understand this."

"It's okay, Lloyd. It's okay." She could feel the pain inside him welling away, clearing up into a new feeling. The broke off the hug, a smile on Lloyd's face.

"Well, I feel better. How about you?"

"A little..."

"Oh...?" They stared into each other's eyes. "Sheena's eyes are brilliantly hypnotic. The deep purple coloring, it just..." The two closed in to each other, Sheena's lips reaching outward. Lloyd met them with a passionate kiss. Lloyd could taste all the pain Sheena went through. The failure, the hate, the loss, everything. His eyes stared to well with tears as the memories seared into his mind.

"Is this real", was Sheena's first thought as Lloyd connected the kiss. Quickly, she fell into a trance. She felt an overwhelming surge of emotions storming up within her. Lloyd was an incredible person. His strengths and weaknesses, his morals, they all flooded into her. And they were one that night. A couple, standing in the darkness, no troubles, the world, a detached matter. And they were one.

The kiss ended with both of them bewildered. Sheena was beyond words, her flushed face giving away her feelings. Lloyd was questioning what possessed him to make such a impulsive move.

"Um, uh... L-Lloyd, I, um, am going, back, okay? See, see you later, a-alright." She ran off but not in the direction of the inn. Sheena was heading towards the EC.

"Sure." His voice was still a whisper. "She probably wants to be alone, right now. Why did I just do that? It's so unlike myself." One of Lloyd's weaknesses was fear of rejection. "What if she doesn't feel the way I do?" Thousands of similar thoughts entered his mind, none speaking with logic. "Enough", shouting at the sky. The thoughts dissipated, leaving his mind empty. "I guess I should get some sleep", but quickly remember Genis. "Oh, I doubt he wants to be bothered, so he can have the inn tonight." For Lloyd, sleep was out of the question. Turning to the town exit, he wandered out towards the stretch of grass and forest.


Presea left Genis as he fell asleep. His constant bemoaning was not only annoying, it had also put him to sleep. Raine falling to darkness? The idea was preposterous, impossible. The older sister was the epitome of good. But, people could change. She understood that it would be traumatic for him, especially to witness the events transpire, destroying the hopes of hundreds of people, but he took it overboard. Genis was probably exhausted and would come to his senses after a night's rest. Quietly shutting the door, she tip-toed away from the inn, but remember that she left something there.

A dark silhouette slipped towards the door, the footsteps silents. Presea, noticing the menacing figure, unsheathed a small dagger clipped to her belt. She seldom carried the axe, as it became a burden to wield. Fighting wasn't in her future, either. As she reached for the door, a thin light wavered through the crack in the door. Pressing her foot against it, she kicked it open and jumped in. A loud shriek filled the air as the small girl saw what happened to the small half-elf. Nobody even stirred.


Sheena closed the door and lit a small candle. Her thoughts were racing. "What was that all about? Lloyd, making the first move? I thought I would never see the day." Taking off her shinobi shozuku, she set it by her bed, laying out her outfit for tomorrow morning. "Usually, he acts so stupid. He always ignores me at times, is oblivious to my feelings, just, just..." Her mind fought were her. "What are you saying? He's always there for you and he never ignores you. The young man's not the brightest, but so what."

Removing the chainmail armor that she wore under the shozuku, she folded it and set it on top of the other article of clothing. Finally, she took off her tool belt, laying it across the small chair next to the desk. Blowing out the small candle, she slipped into bed. "Lloyd..." she muttered as she drifted off to sleep. The door creaked open seconds later.

The silhouette stopped above Sheena's exhausted body. Sticking out his palm, swelling with mana, he started chanting. "Bind", his voice a whisper. Black arms shot out of the ground and wrapped themselves around the sleeping kunoichi. "Seal!" The girl's eyes shot open, just in time to witness dark mana fall around her, freezing her into place. The figure laughed as it noticed Lloyd's two swords lying against one of the walls in the EC.


Over the past few days, Lloyd and Sheena had been practicing in hand-to-hand combat. It helped them occupy themselves on the boat but also advanced both skills. Sheena got better because she trained Lloyd and sparred with him and Lloyd learned new fighting methods. Although he excelled with swords, he quickly grasped the style and technique. A new ability allowed him to charge his hands and feet with mana, allowing inhuman strength and speed. Lloyd developed many moves to suit this fighting style and he was rearing to try them out.

"Alright, let's see what I can do", smiling as mana built into his right arm. It pulsated with energy, a thin glow escaping his palm. Quickly, he advanced on a boulder and charged his arm back. As soon as the fist connected, the rock shattered. Looking at his hand, he noticed that the leather custom glove was started to disintegrate. "Damn, what power." It hardly exhausted him. The boy continued to try different combinations on the small boulders that littered the field.

The silhouette appeared, a third time, not 10 yards away from the distracted boy. It hovered, slowly making its way towards Lloyd. The wind picked up, blowing leaves in every direction. Lloyd reached out and caught one. Suddenly, his sixth sense started flaring. The cursed twin blades, Nebillim, were raised and swung down, creating an arc of dark energy. Lloyd dove out of the way.

"Hehehe, you see quick enough to dodge my attacks. Perhaps the rumors about you were correct."

"I could sense you feet away! You really need to work on being quieter. Also, your speed could use a little work."

"Ha, Lloyd. What, are you some self-proclaimed master? Besides the point, your senses are a lot more refined than the two others in your group. What were their names? Oh, yes. Sheena and Genis. I was quite pathetic, really."

"What? What did you do to them?!" His anger peaked, a second time that evening. Lloyd charged mana throughout his body creating a shell out of pure energy.

"Struck a heartstring, didn't I. Now, that's no way of a proper greeting." Lloyd got a good look at the elf. He wore an odd magic armor composed of mythril. His hair was dark gray and short, but spiked. Like the other, his eyes were soulless and red.

"Who the hell are you?" Lloyd was fuming. You could almost see the smoke rising from his nostrils.

"Sage. The master of the Nebillim Swords."He unsheathed the slender blade, it oscillating, the sway matching its master's slow heartbeat. "You seem to have left your blades elsewhere. Even with your speed, this should hardly prove a challenge."

"It isn't very wise to doubt me," charging energy into his legs. His entire body flowed with mana. Speed and strength were almost three times of what they normally were.

"We shall see-", transporting from his current location. Lloyd looked around, no sign of the elf. "Where am I?" Lloyd turned towards the direction of the voice. A blade swung out of thin air, slashing across his back.

"Aaaaa, get away from me!", swinging his arms behind him. It hit the target directly in the face, sending the opponent away from himself. "Damn, what was that?!" Peering over his shoulder, he noticed odd black energy that covered his wound. It pulsated and started seeping into him, weighting him down.

The villain wiped away the blood dripping from his nose. "Oh, I am sorry, but I forgot to mention. If you unlock the true potential of the Nebillim, it can absorb mana and life energy, depending on which blade I slash with. Also, that black energy can burn and add burdening amounts of weight to people."

"You bastard. Just watch how effective that weight is", yelled Lloyd as he dashed forward. The figure strafed left, flanking around Lloyd. The large blade struck him, his body erupting with pain. He went flying across the field. Red energy spheres pulled away from his body and collected in the large sword. "I am...slower." Picking himself up, he leaned against one of the boulders and caught his breath.

"Had enough?" He transported, appearing directly above Lloyd. Picking him up by the collar, Sage proceeded to throw him. Whilst in the air, Sage transported to the other side and kicked the young man into the ground. "Twin Demonic Serpent." Both blades flew out of Sage's hands. One hovered above while the other hovered at his feet. "Unleash!" Both focused on Lloyd.

"Never", bracing himself for the attack. "Guardian!" Both swords shot forward, piecing into his small shield. Mana built up in the blades broke through the orb and the blades hit Lloyd. After penetrating him, they turned in a full circle, returning to Sage.

"Do you not see the power these weapons hold?!" He angled the sword down and the black energy that accumulated exploded. Lloyd's body started spouting blood and mana. "I looked back at what you accomplished and honestly, this is a disappointment. I expected you to put up some fight."

Lloyd struggled with the pain and added weight, it almost too much to bear. Coughing blood, he grabbed a fist sized rock and charged it with mana. It was thrown, it accelerated by the boy. With ease, Sage caught it and smashed it. He walked over to the limp figure, laughing at the sight.

"Well, as fun as this was, it must come to an end." He pulled the blade behind him and stabbed it towards Lloyd. The young warrior grabbed the tip of the blade with his two palms. He forced Sage over and kicked him back.

"I have a...small question." Lloyd pulled himself up, his body swaying.

"Hmm...?"

"Was it you who attacked that boat out in the harbor?"

"What boat? I really don't know what you are talking about." He adjusted his position. "I was at Palmacosta, recruiting our newest member. We flew over to this area but quickly separated paths. She was suppose to visit our master. I'm sure you're thinking of her, not me."

"What's the girl's name? The one you picked up in Palmacosta."

"Name? Oh, I believe it was originally Raine. She's going to adapt the name Ashe, however. She was quite impudent and violent. I had to persuade her to join our cause. It was a shame, really. Did you happen to know the girl?"

"Yes. What did you do to persuade her? You better not have touched a hair on her head?!" Lloyd felt the weight lifting and also felt mana flowing back into him. His wounds slowly healed.

"Nothing. Not to her, anyway. I just destroyed the town and killed all of the fools living there. What a glorious sight it was! The entire place, engulfed in embers and painted with blood."

"No... It can't be true. All our work, for nothing?"

"It's funny that you care. I found solace in watching them panic and squirm. There deaths were blessings, sacrifices for our master. I shall do the same for you and your dead body will be a gift for Elyandis!"

Before perforating the cursed blade into Lloyd's body, he jumped up, his reaction speed faster than it had ever been. Small white lines appeared on his back, keeping him stable in the air.

"You dumbass. I already told you that speed wouldn't help you win this fight. I can quickly match you and if you think not, you're sorely mistaken!" Sage spun around, watching just a Lloyd rammed both his feet into his armored chest. Lloyd jumped up, appearing above Sage.

"Sonic Punch!" He drove his charged fist into the lower abdomen of the villain, knocking the wind out of him. Lloyd followed up with a combination of lightning fast kicks. Sage stared into Lloyd eyes, them giving off a faint white glow. "Mortal Coil", throwing his arms in front of him. White energy coiled around Sage and Lloyd threw his arms backwards. The light turned into blades, all slicing into the elf.

Sage fell to the ground, a cloud of dust shooting from where he landed. Lloyd fell on his feet and watched. The dust cleared, with Sage standing up, ready for another go.

"IS that the best you have? What an ace." He ran at Lloyd and swung but Lloyd grabbed his arm and flipped him. As he was lying on the ground, Lloyd jump in the air and thrust his feet at the elf. Sage rolled, narrowly avoiding the attack.

"Quick. I underestimated your speed", Lloyd wheezed.

"Oh, don't worry about that!" Sage was on Lloyd's left, his blade swinging. It connected, slicing directly across Lloyd's face. A bleeding scar going vertically across his eye formed. "Another thing I forgot to mention. Those two will asphyxiate if nothing is done. Over time, the seal spell seals their mouths shut, allowing no oxygen to escape or enter.

"Don't distract me." Lloyd ran over and delivered an uppercut, sending the elf skyrocketing. Falling towards the earth, Lloyd charged his leg. "Thunder Kick!" He kicked him, lightning shocking Sage. Lloyd fell on his knees, his mana exhausted.

"You keep taping energy. It's quite an amazing feat." Lloyd looked up at him, the ability to fight lost. "If you can't defeat me, you're going to have trouble against the master. If you survive long enough to see him." Lloyd swung a punch but Sage grabbed his wrist.

"LET ME GO!" Lloyd was flailing his body.

"So, this is the exsphere that allows you to fight with such power. Without it, you'd be a pathetic human, worse than those I slaughtered."

"Don't touch it, you son of a bitch!" It didn't stop Sage from grabbing it and trying to remove it. Pulling it off, Sage started laughing. Lloyd started screaming in a high pitch, it resonating among the exsphere Sage wore as well as his own. Energy shot out of the key crest, attaching itself to the Angelic Exsphere and pulling it back. After a flash of light, Lloyd looked different, and had large wings on his back.

"What, what's going on?!" Sage started panicking, Lloyd new form striking fear into his eyes. Picking up the swords, he rush toward him and struck.

"Condemn", his voice alien and amplified. Holy energy shot out of his palm and hit Sage, shooting feathers everywhere. Lloyd flew at him and grabbed him. Flying upward, the two stopped, tens of feet in the air. "Scepter." White beams shot from his eyes, penetrating Sage's armor and destroying it. The two halves fell to the ground. Sage kicked away from Lloyd, backflipping. The elf started plummeting, but transported before smashing into the thick dirt.

"Temporal Beam!" A small eye open on Sage's palm, red energy building up near the pupil. "Die!" It shot up, striking one of Lloyd's wings. He spiraled downward and pulled himself up. He flew at Sage, continuing to fire his beam, dodging the debris scattered around the field. Upon reaching him, Lloyd grabbed his neck and tossed him into a boulder. The beam died down.

"Enough!" The voice echoed. "ANGEL WINGS!" White Angelic symbols surrounded Lloyd's right arm. Time froze, only allowing the two to move. With his left hand, the angelic boy lifted Sage into the air and held him, suspending him by unknown forces. A magic circle appeared around his fist, wings sprouting along his arm and the circle. Three holy claymores materialized out of the circle. Lloyd started gathering energy from the living things around him.

"May Hell have mercy on your cursed soul!" The blades shot forwards but melded together, creating a giant spear. The second it drove into Sage, a gate opened, blades spilling out. The golden swords shot quickly, hundreds at a time. Blood burst from his back, the holy weapon stained with the crimson stuff.

"Lloyd!" The voice brought him back to reality, his power gone. The figure in front of him dropped, the body almost lifeless. Presea, the only one un-sealed, rushed to help him.

A hand rose up, the arm bloodied and raw. Parts of the skin had peeled away, revealing chunks of his muscle. Grabbing the trunk of a tree and wincing, Sage picked himself up. "What, what was that phenomenal power?" Still, he persisted towards Lloyd.

"Presea? What are you doing here and what just happened to me?"

"I honestly don't know. You grew large wings, and your body had some odd holy armor. You looked like an angel. Your power, as well. It was immense."

"Presea, you shouldn't be here. It's too dangerous, and from the sound of it, I might even be a danger to you. Get back to Sybak."

"No, Lloyd. I can help. He's coming over one last time. It looks as if he plans to finish you off."

"Presea, don't underestimate him. He's too dangerous. Please, look after Genis and Sheena for me. If I can weaken him enough, the seal might come off."

"I can't leave you here. Not in the condition you're in."

"It's okay. I can handle it. I just don't want you to be caught up in this. I have one last ace, and more energy than he does. I got this."

"Lloyd, if you lie to me..." She was pushed away.

"Presea, go, NOW!" Sage picked up speed and stop, feet before Lloyd. Presea dashed, yards away from the battle the second Sage used his ultimate technique.

"You have an interesting power", rasped Sage, blood dripping from his lips. It manifests in an astonishing form. Did you even have control of yourself?"

"More or less. It was more of an influence." His glove was destroyed entirely, revealing his hand, charred from all the battles he had participated in.

"Still, you are less than a match for me, even in this weakened form." Black energy built up, rebuilding his skin and healing a few of the gashes. "This will end!"

Lloyd dodged the multiple stabs and slashes, looking for an opening. "Demon Arc", swinging his arm up in a mock 'Demon Fang' fashion. A similar shockwave launched at him, hitting him full on. Sage didn't try to dodge it. Lloyd ran straight to him. "Crescent Kick" copying Regal's move. Lloyd walked up his chest and kicked him in the face, backflipping away.

""You fool. Do you think that hurts me?! Prepare for my Ultimate move!" Sage stabbed himself with the smaller Nebillim blade.

"What is he doing? That can't be possible..." Retreating a few feet back, Lloyd, confused, tried to prepare for the attack.

"Bleeding Precipice!" Sage pulled the blade out of himself. The world around Lloyd started to fade away.

"Where am I?" Lloyd was in an alien world. It was desolate, nothing but long stretches of desert dunes and craggy cliffs. A sandstorm started to pick up, forcing Lloyd away from the desert. Off in the distances, he could make out abandoned structures and oases. He started wandering along the side of the cliffs, trying to find a way out of the place.

The sun grew more intense in the desert, yet Lloyd trekked on. A tremor started, shaking him only slightly. Pausing, he waited for it to die down. It grew. Suddenly, it was the magnitude of a large earthquake, the sand shifting. The sandstorm came back, Lloyd in the middle. It scratched and sliced him, sand getting into his wounds. He ran, screaming in agony, towards the cliff. The area started to fall apart, and soon, he was left, marooned on an island in the sky. That gave way as well, Lloyd falling into darkness.

Falling gave Lloyd an odd feeling, one of extreme nausea. The feeling, however, soon ended when Lloyd fell, his torso piercing a lone sword. The darkness disappeared, his eyes filled with blood.

"He holds an immense amount of power." Blood started spouting from his chest, a gaping wound appearing in him. Sage reached for the exsphere, yet recoiled. "No, I won't go through that again." Getting both swords ready, he held them above Lloyd. "Sorry, kid, but I need you're soul. Your quite the obstacle." The blades shot downward, but reflected off. One of the blades shot from his hands.

Lloyd's eyes shot open. He jumped back, standing up. "How can he still be living?! That was my best attack!" Rapidly, he pushed himself towards Sage, his arms flinging in every direction. The elf took a punch to the face, flying backwards. The reaction was almost automatic.

"That's some sort of facade you put on back there."

"I don't know what that means." Lloyd was running low on mana and patience. This battle was going on for too long. To top it off, his throat was very dry.

"Ha, but no. Let's settle this like men", almost as if he read his mind. He fetched the second blade off the ground. After looking over the two, he threw one to Lloyd.

"What are you doing?" The one he received was the large, heavy red blade. The one that could absorb life energy. A small eye could be seen near the hilt of the sword. "I can feel the evil power emanating from the eye. If I could destroy it, I think this sword could be gone forever."

"Let me give you a little back story." Sage stuck the sword into the ground. "Before I received this power, I lived in the village. My family was noble, one of the classiest out of all the elves. Although I killed my family, I still have noble blood flowing through my veins." He picked the blade back up saying, "so we shall have a fight, as dictated from older times."

"That's horrible, you monster!" Lloyd looked at his sword, again. "What do you want me to do?!" He hated holding the weapon.

"What else but to fight me in a duel. Now, if you would. En garde!" Sage ran directly at Lloyd, who ran as well. They both swung, the two blades meeting with no sign of a winner. They kept striking, both resulting in blocking each others swings. Lloyd tried to meet Sage's speed, but was having difficulty wield the heavy thing. The small blade was trying to get past the large defense the big sword had. Lloyd threw the sword up, pinning the small blade in the air, and barring them in a sword lock.


Presea reached the inn and rushed to see if Genis had recovered. The small half-elf stirred in his sleep, his body lightly flailing. She put the back of her hand on his head, feeling his warmth. His breathing was normal, as well. The spell had worn off, the black arms gone yet she couldn't find a way to wake him up.

"Genis, don't do this to me, please." Falling on the floor, the small girl rested her head on top of Genis's chest. Soon, the flailing stopped.


The stalemate had been going for five minutes, the two locked in the same position as before. Sage was at the end of his energy, his vision blurring on him, breathing course. He continued to press against Lloyd but started swaying.

"No, no, no!" Sage's energy had depleted. Lloyd pressed back, the elf soon blacking out. Taking the small opening, he pushed and swung, disarming the the waving blade from Sage's hand.

"What do you say now?!" Lloyd held both evil swords in his hands, the victor of the battle obvious.

"What else?" His palm started glowing once again, but he smiled. "If I strike myself, my body will build up so much energy and explode, sucking you into the energy. You, you wouldn't live."

"Not again..." Running forward, Lloyd was stopped prematurely as a person transported in front of him. Sage, eyes wide, fainted. His palm stopped glowing. "What?"

"Lloyd Irving. You're quite the thorn in our side. I hope you realize that." The girl stood their, her beautiful white hair getting ruffled in the wind.

"Raine? What are you doing here? Who's this 'our' everyone keeps talking about?" Lloyd was confused but he finally believed Sheena. "I guess I have to apologize to her about this."

"Raine...? Oh, yes. Hahaha, surely you jest! Raine is dead, she has been, along with every other pathetic fool who had the gall to living in that city. Why don't you take a look at your precious Palmacosta? I'm sure you'd enjoy what you'd see. Also, my name is Ashe, but that's hardly important."

"Raine, or Ashe, or whatever. What the hell are you trying to do? Why attack that freighter and destroy Palmacosta? What have they ever done against you?"

"What do you honestly think? The world. We want it purged of all life, except our own. Once all life is dead, we can claim Derris Kharlan, for ourselves.

"Derris Kharlan? Why would you want that?"

"I don't feel the need to explain myself." "Ashe" looked around the battlefield, her eyes searching for something.

"You didn't have to kill all those people to get to Derris Kharlan! You could find a way, without all the bloodshed!"

"You're wrong. But, this is not a matter worth discussing with you! Besides, I'm here for something."

"The Nebillim Swords, right?" He held both out in front of him, them reacting to the evil pent up inside of Raine.

"Give them to me." Lloyd shook his head.

"I plan to destroy both of them, actually. If at least one set is gone, then that will hopefully stop strengthening evil."

"I don't understand why you won't embrace such a power. You could save everyone, just as you always wanted."

"Don't give me that bullshit. Here, how about I destroy the swords right here and now?"

"Lloyd, you're a bigger fool than I. For your own sake, I wouldn't bother pursuing us or our weapons. Also, if you know what's good for you, I wouldn't destroy that. It could be the key to your safety one of these days.

"And if I don't listen to you?"

"I guess it inconsequential..." Transporting, carrying the unconscious body of Sage on her back. Lloyd stood in the field, the wind picking up again.

"What's with everybody and big words...?" With that, he threw the larger blade on the ground and grabbed the small, purple one. "We'll see what happens", and he thrust the small one down into the eye of the large one.

A burst of light reacted, then subsided. Both weapons were highlighted and outlined with golden and white energy, small orbs adding to it from the surrounding environment. Another light shone out of the eye, and the swords melded together. In its place was a brilliant weapon, with the word "Tetsusaiga" engraved along the hilt.

"What a sword...", in awe of the beautiful weapon. Unknown to him, the second he picked it up, the holy energies of it fused together with the Angelic power of his exsphere. His power grew, and he felt it. A small sling was attached to the hilt, giving him a clue. He hung it over his back and walked back into Sybak.


Yes, i know what you're thinking. "Lloyd get's Inuyasha's sword?!" I just liked the name, so there. A few other swords might be taken as well. Also Lloyd's angel form uses attacks from Xenosaga. I know, i know. but i thought they would be cool, and if you hate it, tell me. Ill work something out. Please, as always, Read and Review. Thank you -AMP
