Lloyd: Well....I guess I'd have to object to that...I guess...
Me: Seriously? You're being nice to me? YAY!! I feel better now. But seriously, I'm sorry. So I'm gonna (try and) make this chapter extra long!!
Lloyd: Okay....um...
Me: DISCLAIM ME!! wOOt!!
Lloyd: SilverMoon doesn't own ToS or Namco...?
Me: Onto the story!!
Lloyd speaking (when he's talking to his other self)
''Lloyd'(Evil Twin Lloyd) speaking to Lloyd'
Origins' voice in Kratos' mind
Okay. Kratos knew that he had been searching for well over six hours for the lost angel. He was seriously starting to lose patience with red eyed teen. He had already searched every where his evil/manical son could've gone.
Sitting down on a boulder and crossing his legs, he began to think. Where would he go if he were an evil angel that had been trapped in somebodies body for over 17 years? Probably somewhere he could... That was it! He had an idea. Now all he had to do was get the others.
---------
Lloyd paced inside his mind. What could he do to get out? He had completely lost every idea he had to get his evil self out of his body. Now his body was running around and destroying everything in his path. If only he could contact his dad somehow and have him come and stop him.
Lloyd felt a loud ringing in his ears, then there came his other's voice,
'Its futile Lloyd. You can never escape fate. It was meant to be this way.'
That's what you think. I bet dad's planning something right now, he's gonna stop you!
'Believe what you will. It doesn't matter anyways.'
Then the voice was gone. Lloyd felt his body waver. Then he realized that the evil him was trying to kick him out of his body. He forced the wavering to stop and saw something shimmer in front of him, he realized that he was seeing through his eyes again. 'Lloyd' had gone into a cave and was picking up some sort of stone. It was a deep maroon color and it shined like it was a star.
What is that? Lloyd said aloud to no one important.
---------
"I found it." 'Lloyd' said as he picked up the stone and smiled wickedly. "They'll never get it now." 'And you'll never be free again!!' He said to the real Lloyd inside of him.
He turned as he heard footsteps. "Crap...they found me." He quickly pulled out his wings and teleported away in a poof of red and blue feathers.
Kratos ran in just as the feathers disintegrated into tiny sparkles of mana. He noted that the Dragons Crest was already out of its spot. Not to mention the Dragon was in the shadows, probably dead, and its eggs were smashed.
The group fiiled into the small cave. "So, where is it?" Zelos asked, an unconvinced look passing across his face.
"It should've been here. But fake Lloyd must've gotten here before us. We've gotta find him. He should be around here somewhere." Kratos said, walking out of the cave angrily, frustration coursing in his veins.
----------
Yuan was sitting at his desk, filling out some papers that he had to sign for the Renegades. He heard a brisk knock on his door and replied, "Come in."
When he looked up, he saw Lloyd glaring at him, swords out and pointed at him.
"Oh Lloyd, what a pleasant surprise." Yuan said, noting the color change in Lloyd's eyes. He stood and stacked his papers neatly, "So, what did you need from me?"
"I want you to tell me where the rest of the items are before I rip your freakin head off." 'Lloyd' snarled. He grinned when Yuan flinched at his harsh tone of voice.
"You're not Lloyd."
"Correct."
"So, who are you?" Yuan said as he readied his weapon behind his back. He saw something flash in Lloyd's eyes, a change of color, just for a second. Then it was gone.
"I am the other side of Lloyd, the darker side." He smirked evilly and charged at Yuan. Yuan reacted immediately and brought his double edged blade and blocked the strike.
'Lloyd' snarled in frustration and used his other sword to swipe under the double sword. Yuan jumped back just in time to dodge it. When he recovered from the jump, he heard the familiar chant.
"Rest in peace sinners, JUDGEMENT!!" 'Lloyd' shouted and the beams of light came crashing onto the ground. Yuan mangaged to dodge each one, but it caused him to lower his guard against 'Lloyd'. He looked up and just barely dodged a demonic thrust. He had to admit, this other side of Lloyd was quite a fighter.
'Lloyd' glared at Yuan. He was becoming a nuisance. He'd have to end this soon or they'd find him here. He saw the papers scattered across Yuans desk and grabbed the ones that were about the items needed to revive Lloyd.
He grinned and teleported away just as Yuan charged at him again.
"Damn." Yuan growled.
----------
Lloyd saw the battle. He hoped Yuan was okay. He'd have to apologize later when he was normal again. But the main thing was that he needed to find out why in the heck 'Lloyd' needed those items when they were used revived him. He was the last person that 'Lloyd' wanted to see. So why...
'To stop you from getting revived of course. Without the crest and your exsphere, they'll never be able to.' 'Lloyd' laughed manically inside the small black room and it echoed loudly.
You won't win. I won't let you. Lloyd said, running out of ideas. He was going to be trapped here forever. He looked at his hand and noticed his exsphere was still there. How could he get it out and into the real world? He decided to try contacting Origin after this conversation was over. He stayed still and listened for a minute and didn't hear the ringing that signified that 'Lloyd' was trying to contact him.
Origin!! He shouted to the sky. He heard a faint 'yes?' from somewhere in his mind. He walked around and started looking for the source of the voice.
----------
Kratos decided to head back to Yuan's to try and see if he found out where Lloyd's exsphere was. But when he entered the office, everything was in shambles. He found Yuan sitting at the remainders of his desk and glaring hatefully.
"Yuan, what happened here?" Kratos asked as he cautiously walked in, looking for whoever did this.
"Well, your son. Sort of." Yuan said as he stood and walked towards the group. He noticed that Kratos was aura was very distressed. "Yes, I've lost the papers. But I know where the exsphere is."
"Where?!" Kratos asked.
"It still on Lloyds' body. You just can't see it and/or touch it." Yuan said. He walked back over to his desk and started rearranging the things to look like it was before 'Lloyd' showed up.
Kratos nodded and walked out of the room, the group following out silently.
----------
Lloyd walked over to where a door was. Purple smoke (Lloyd guessed it was mana) was coming out from under the door. He pushed it open and saw Origin floating there.
Chains bound his hands (all four of 'em!) and feet to the walls and floor. He looked like he hadn't (if he even could) eaten in days. His face was almost see-through along with the rest of his body.
"Are you okay?!" Lloyd said, running up to the summon spirit king.
"I am fine master....just low on mana..." Origin's voice sounded forced and very weak.
"Um...do you think you could send this out to my dad?" he said, pointing to his exshpere, "Or like, tell him where we are?" He said, not wanting to make the summon spirit force himself to hard and end up disappearing forever.
"I...will try master..." Origin began to glow with a white light. After a few seconds, it was gone, and so was Lloyd's exsphere. "I sent him the message...and the exsphere..." He coughed and some of him faded out completely. Soon though, it shimmered and came back, barely.
"T-thanks....I'll be going now....um...." Lloyd turned and walked out of the room. The sight was too horrible to look at any longer. He walked down the long hallways and eventually ended up back in the dark black room with the big screen. Currently, 'Lloyd' was camping out in some woods quite a ways away from the Renegade base.
--------
Kratos heard something echo in his mind that sounded like Origin's voice. Look up....The master is in the direction of the smoke. Please....help him....Kratos looked up and saw smoke.
He reached the camp and hid behind a tree, expertly hiding his mana signature. He saw 'Lloyd' sitting in front of a fire and cooking something that looked like soup. He was concentrating very hard, like he was having trouble cooking or something.
Something plopped softly in the grass next to his feet. Kratos looked down and saw that Lloyd's exsphere had appeared at his feet. "How..." He muttered but decided to find out later. He picked it up and shoved it in his pocket.
He felt 'Lloyd' lower his guard for an instant and charged. He pulled out Flamburge and swiped at 'Lloyds'' head. He missed on purpose but it was enough to startle 'Lloyd'.
He knocked 'Lloyd' out with the hilt of his sword and pulled the Dragon's Crest out of his pocket. He attatched it to Lloyd in place of his key crest and hoped for the best. He placed Lloyd's exsphere in the Dragon's Crest and called to Raine who was hiding in the bushes.
She ran out, "The unicorns horn?" She asked as she reached Kratos who was kneeling by Lloyd. Kratos nodded slightly and Raine pulled out her staff and started the familiar chant. "Ressurection!!" She shouted.
The body twitched and Lloyd's eyes opened. One of them was brown and one was red. They kept switching, like both Lloyd's were fighting for control.
At first it seemed as if Lloyd was going to lose and 'Lloyd' was going to take over all of the control in the body. Then, with Kratos' and everyones pleas, Lloyd finally won!!
He sat up and looked around sleepily, as if he had been asleep for years on end.
"D-dad?" He muttered, rubbing his eyes. Then, as if shocked by electricity, "OH MY GOD!!! ORIGIN!!" His eyes widened and he looked around, finally taking in his surroundings. "W-where am I?"
"We're just outside of Iselia. Your other half took over your body for a while but now you've got control. Everythings fine now." Kratos said with a small smile.
"Did...did Kratos just smile?!?" Genis shouted, eyes wide and pupils small.
The whole group seemed relaxed. And it seemed everything would be fine.
Key word: Seemed.
