Well, here I am again. Aren't you all so happy I'm updating again so fast? And so, without further ado, the fic!

"No, you IDIOT, follow the feathers!"

"I am!" responded Magnius. "Dammit, they're hard to see…"

"How can they be? They're blue."

Magnius stopped. "WHAT? COLETTE'S FEATHERS ARE PINK!"

"Whoops," said Kvar.

"Um, Kratos, is there any particular reason you're scattering feathers everywhere?"

"Well…" Kratos burst into tears. "No…" He looked at Magnius. "I was just following the trail of orange feathers…"

"ORANGE?" screamed Magnius.

Regal pointed. There was a trail of orange feathers, all right.

Allow me to explain what happened. After Regal arrived, everyone ran away screaming. This, of course, caused them to lose the trail of Colette's angel feathers. Regal showed up again, Sheena ran by and glued his mouth shut, and the group, having apparently become colorblind, started to follow Kratos' trail of feathers.

"So, who has orange feathers?"

"I do!" said the Holy Barrel Man proudly.

"Then what are YOU following?"

"A trail of rainbow feathers."

Magnius, being the "hero," figured it out first. "MITHOS!"

Yuan looked around. "Where? I don't see him."

Rodyle ran by carrying a badger, a water bottle and a stamp in a cage.

"Hey, you! Ugly!" called Yuan, flipping his hair. "Where are you going?"

"Well, my master and my mistress need this for their plans of word domination."

"Who, Mithos and Martel?"

"Certainly not!"

"Never mind then." Magnius sighed. "Let's see…my watch tells me that 1. It's only 10:30 AM, 2. We've lost Lloyd and 3. It's time for another random appearance of someone who will probably be totally insignificant to the storyline as a whole."

"Whoa," chorused everyone else.

And then, like magic, Shadow appeared in a cloud of black smoke. "Hi," he rasped.

"Whoa! Shadow! What the hell are you doing here?" asked Kratos. "I haven't seen you in, well…4,000 years!"

"Yeah…" Shadow clapped his hands(?) together. "Aaaaaanyway, guess what I found out! I heard that Colette has gone crazy, Lloyd hates brooms and that you're a transvestite!"

"DAMMIT, THAT'S NOT ME!" yelled Kratos.

Shadow slapped him. "Get ahold of yerself, man!"

"Yeah…you're right, Shadow. Gotta get a grip." Kratos shook his head. "Ugh."

"So, what's goin' on?" asked Shadow.

"Aww, not much. We're off Chosen Hunting."

"Oh, man! I want to go Chosen Hunting! Then it would be just like old days, you know, with Efreet…"

"Yeah…I miss those days."

Zelos turned white. "Y-yeah! Chosen…Hunting…ahahaha…"

Shadow shrugged. "What did you think happened to all of Sylvarant's failed Chosen?"

There was silence. Magnius, to break the silence, said, "Well, I'm sure it was fun, but…now we have to first of all figure out where Colette went, find and take back Lloyd, defeat that Rotaks woman, have Kratos lead us to Sam's dorm room, and make a pact with him. On top of that, we've got to figure out who's out for world domination, stop Pronyma and…"

"We should obtain the Ultimate Power of the Golden Lawn Chair so that we can fight Rotaks," said Yuan.

"So why do we need to find out who's trying to dominate the world?" asked Zelos.

"Well, we don't want the world to be dominated while we're trying to save it."

"You have a point."

"Of course I do. I'm the damned hero."

Yuan stared at Magnius for a moment. "Yeah…"

"What is it, Minstrel/Sammich Maker/Totally Kickass Former Angel of Cruxis?" asked Kvar.

"Well, Magnius has been far too smart lately. Ever since Rotaks inflated that Dora the Explorer thing…he's been bringing up good points and being smart, except back when he was following Kratos' feathers." Yuan pulled out a sammich and hit into it. "It's…odd. This sammich…it has mayonnaise on it. Oh yeah. And it's also odd how he's so smart."

Zelos shrugged. "Well, whatever. Honestly I thing we should be worrying more about Little Mr. Crossdresser over there." He pointed at Regal. Regal waved.

"Well, as long as his mouth stays shut, there shouldn't be a problem," said Kvar.

"No, no, no, I mean, does he KNOW things?" Zelos looked at Regal. "He looks like he KNOWS things."

"Like what?"

"Like, um…I don't know."

"Perhaps we should melt the glue on his face," said Kratos. "Fire Ball!" A moment later, "I'm so sorryyyyyyy! First Aid!"

Regal said, "Like, totally thank you! So, like, anyway, what do you, like, need?"

"Um…" Everyone was caught off guard by the valley girl act. "Well," said Zelos, the first to recover (I wonder why ), "we need to know a lot of things. First of all, you heard Magnius. Do you know anything about any of the things on that insanely long list of things we need to do that was up about half a page ago?"

"Well, I know who's out to, like, dominate the world."

"Didn't we meet someone babbling about dominating the world?" asked Yuan thoughtfully.

"Yeah, Samantha."

"No…I mean…someone else…back in the single-digit chapters…"

"Anyway, ignoring them," said Zelos, "so…who's trying to take over the world?"

"Genis, Presea and Raine," said Regal.

"Good job, you creepy transvestite man! You are free to go!"

Regal stayed put.

"Um…you can go now."

"Oh, I know. But I love you all so much that I, like, don't want to leave you!"

Kratos said, "Well, looks like we've got yet another member of this group. Hey, speaking of which, where's Forcystus? After the Dora Incident WHICH WILL BY THE WAY NEVER BE SPOKEN OF AGAIN!" He stopped to take a breath. "He kind of disappeared."

Yuan shrieked suddenly.

"What is it?" asked Kvar.

"That badger…wasn't really a badger! It was…Forcystus!"

Everyone stared at him, their eyes twitching at the thought of perhaps the stupidest plot twist ever. "Well," said Zelos, "it looks like we're going to have to stop Genis, Presea and Raine."

"Are you sure that this is enough?" asked Kvar, looking around the group. "I mean, first of all, Raine's a healer, so we'd have to be able to inflict enough damage to take her out quickly. Secondly, Genis can cast some kickass spells that can take out multiple people. Third, Presea's got a pretty good range on her axe, although she does move kind of slowly…but she can take out multiple people as well. Then there's the fourth and most important problem…NOBODY here knows how to get to where they're hiding."

"That's where I come in!" said a female voice. "I ran into Genis a while ago. I know where their lair is."

"And just who ARE you?" asked Magnius.

"My name is Sheena Fujibayashi, Summoner!" She posed. Then she looked terribly sad. "But unfortunately, all the Spirits ran off to party, get drunk and get laid except for Gnome…" She noticed Shadow, who was still there. She slapped a seal on his forehead. "And Shadow," she amended.

"Ya know what's sad?" asked Yuan suddenly. "She's the first female in our group."

Zelos shivered. "Eeeeew, girls."

Regal also shivered. "Eeeeew, straight men." (A/N: If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. I MEAN NO HARM.)

"WHERE?" yelled Kratos. "DUCK FOR COVER!" Everyone stared. "Jeez, I'm just kidding."

"Oh, okay," said everyone. "Although, you know what?" asked Kvar. "Why didn't we notice the badger was Forcystus?"

"I don't know," said everyone else.

"Makes us seem stupid," said Kvar.

"Well, at any rate, we need to find them now."

Sheena pointed. "They're in this direction. Follow me!"

-A Colette Moment-

Rotaks was pacing. "It's a good thing…that Kratos was there…I mean…it's all…"

"How do you know Daddy?" asked Lloyd.

"Lloyd. Has Kratos ever mentioned someone named Anna?"

"Yeah…"

"Well, yeah, I'm not her. Just to clarify. So, Anna was your mother…correct?"

"Yeah!"
"That makes her my sister-in-law."

"You mean you're—"

"Kratos' older twin sister."

"So, are you an angel too?"

"No…" Rotaks sighed. "You could call me a human, I suppose."

"You suppose? What does that mean?" asked Lloyd, referring to the definition of the word 'suppose.'

Rotaks, however, misunderstood. "…The Ultimate Power of the Golden Lawn Chair…is very powerful. So powerful, in fact, that it stops TIME. For me, time has stopped. I can't ever move on with my little brother."

"Then…"

"That's right, Lloyd. I will live forever. Such is the curse."

"Actually, uh, I wasn't all that interested in your boring life. I just want to know why you want to kill my dad."

"…Oh." Rotaks blinked. "Well, it's because…"

"Rotaks! I need you in here."

"I'm sorry, Lloyd. Colette…requires my assistance." She left.

"Wait!" called Lloyd. "What does 'require' mean?"

-Back to the Group-

"Are you absolutely sure you're going the right way?"

"Yeah! I'd recognize that ri—"

"That what?"

Sheena was staring at the river. "Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch…"

"Tryin' to be a maraca?" asked Zelos.

"Ch…CHICKEN!" growled Sheena. She pulled a chicken out of a rock(?) and started to drown it. "It's dying," she whispered as bubbles rose to the surface.

"What the hell?" screamed Kratos. "What about…"

"Sheena stood, clearing her throat. "Sorry about that." She looked around. "Anyway, it's this way."

Kratos started crying. "We…we're going fribbledehoozot but Lloyd's not here! Oh, it's not fair!"

Yuan sighed. "Reassemble the band."

So they did.

"Oooooooooooohhhhhhhh poor Kratos…his son has been taken agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain…by Colette the eeeeeeeeeeeeevil…agaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain…and noooooooooooooooooow we are gooooooooooooing fribbledehoooooooooooooooooooooozot but Lloooooooooooyd is not heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere!" He continued with his mournful song.

"Hey," whispered Sheena. "We're here!"

They were standing in front of the Sylvarant Zoo.

"Um…"

"Oh, it looks weird, but this is it, trust me. Y'see, they have armies of Crush Tortoises, Bomb Seedlings and Summon Spirits."

"Summon Spirits?" yelled everyone else.

"They have, in alphabetical order, Aska through Maxwell, with the exceptions of Gnome and Efreet."

"Well, where's Efreet?"

"Um…you don't wanna know."

"That means, let's see…Aska, Celsius, Luna, Maxwell…"

"That should be it."

"Damn," said Kvar.

"Wait," said Yuan. "If we are counting Fenrir as a Summon Spirit—"

Sheena nodded.

"Then what about him?" he finished.

"Hey, stop breathing down my neck," complained Regal. "It's gonna, like, mess up my hair."
"Regal, you're last in line," said Kratos.

Everyone turned around.

"FENRIR!"
