Tai: I have finally written the long awaited chapter 7!
Genis: What makes you think it was long awaited?
Tai: Because people have been waiting a long time for it to be written.
Genis: Right. And i though you had wanted people to believe you wrote the A/N before you wrote the chapter.
Tai: I don't care about that. That was just to play around with Zelos' mind.
Genis: Oh.
Lloyd: Dude's, like why did the chicken cross the road?
Presea: Is he going to be all right?

Chapter 7
A cold wind swept through the night. But Wes and Mettal, being nonhuman, didn't even feel it. They had arrived at Presea's house moments before and now were trying to think of the best way to approach the matter before them.
"I still think you've got this whole thing wrong. Presea would never even think about doing something this bad." Mettal complained to Wes as Wes sat thinking.
"For the last time," Wes said, "I never said she did anything! I said she might have."
"But if you say she might have then you have to think she did it."
Wes didn't reply. He just sat there thinking.
"Are you ignoring me now?" Mettal said. Then when Wes did not reply, he flew over to him and pecked him on the head.
"Ouch!" Wes yelped leaping away from Mettal. "What was that for?"
"For ignoring me!" Mettal said angrily. Flying at Wes again.
Wes stared at the metal object diving at him. He leaped to the side barely dodging the blow. Then, before Mettal could get up, Wes lunged at him. Mettal jerked away barely escaping Wes. He got back up and flew high into the air. Wes looked up at him following him wherever he flew. Mettal began to circle Wes as he gradually fell lower to the earth. And when Wes thought he was going to strike he flew at Presea's window and landed on the sill. Wes hopped up the stairs and stared at him. Mettal flew down close to the door. Wes turned to face him but ran his head into the door as Mettal settled right next to him.
"Don't move! Its him!" Mettal said perched upon the sill not moving.
"What?" Wes asked freezing on the spot still facing the door.
"I'm surprised you're believing me."
"Not as surprised as I am."
"Hmm, figures."
"Who's there?"
"Zelos. He's walking right by and he just froze."
"Tell me when he's gone."
"Should I?"
"I hate you."
----------
Zelos froze staring at the metal bird and the wooden cat. They had stopped moving. Zelos stared at them waiting to see if one would move. Neither of them moved they were just frozen there.
"They're just figurine's, they don't move." Zelos reassured himself taking a step forward. Then the cat carving leapt from where it was at the metal bird. Zelos fainted.
----------
Once Sheena had hopped out the window she ducked into the bushes. She peeked to see if anyone was there. She could just make out a figure walking away. She got out of the bushes and walked behind the person. She continued to follow the person until the person suddenly froze. Sheena stopped moving and watched the person intently. The person took a step forward then fell to the ground. Sheena just stared at the person on the ground. Wondering what had happened to it. And just when Sheena started to walk again a glowing blue circle appeared on the ground. A figure, a man, stepped forward, grabbed the person on the ground and stepped back to the blue circle. The blue light shone upon both of the face of the figure lying on the ground. It was Zelos. Then the man and Zelos disappeared. They were just gone. Sheena looked around. The moon was up and shining very brightly. She looked at the moon, a ball of silver in the sky. Sheena was confused about what had happened. Where did the man come from and what did he take Zelos for? Sheena didn't care much for Zelos. But she was curious about what had happened to him either way.
"Sheena," a voice behind Sheena said, "what are you doing out this late at night?"
Sheena whirled around. It was Regal. "Oh, hi Regal."
"What are you up to this late at night?"
"Oh nothing, just taking a walk."
"Hmm, I see." There was a pause. Then, "So, what are you getting Lloyd for his birthday?"
"You'll find out at the party tomorrow."
"Ok."
There was a short silence, which was broken by, "What are you getting Lloyd?"
"I think if I have to wait you can wait as well."
"Oh, of course. Well I had better go back home and finish wrapping his present."
"Yes, you should do that."
"Bye."
Sheena walked away going back to her house. Regal stood for a minute looking up at the moon.
----------
Wes had been still for a while listening to Mettal talk. Finally he had enough. He leapt at the metal bird knocking him off the steps. They rolled into the bushes with Mettal screaming out in surprise.
"What the heck was that for?" Mettal asked Wes while trying to recover from the fall.
"Because I felt like it." Wes replied walking out of the bushes.
Mettal gave Wes an odd stare. Then flew out of the bushes after him. Wes was looking at the road. Zelos was gone. Mettal flew up next to Wes and landed. Wes was staring at something. Mettal turned to look at what it was. It was Sheena. She was looking up at the moon. Regal was walking up to her. She turned around in surprise. They talked for a while and then Sheena left. Regal however stayed there and looked up at the sky.
"What do you suppose Regal is doing out this late?" Mettal asked Wes.
"I'm not sure. Now let's just watch and wait." Wes replied.
Regal started walking towards Presea's house. Wes and Mettal continued to focus their gaze at him. He knocked on the door in a sort of pattern and Presea opened the door. "Right on time Regal" Presea said ushering him in.
"Is everyone else here?"
"Yes."
The door closed. And the lock clicked. All was silent. Except for the sound of voices from inside.
"Now what are we going to do?" Mettal asked Wes.
"We still need to get inside to listen to what Presea, Regal and the other's there are talking about."
"Aww, can't we just go home and go to bed, I'm tired."
"Too bad, we aren't leaving until we get in there."
"Then let's get up there so we can leave sooner!"
"Ok. Follow me." Wes walked around to the back of the house and Mettal flew above him.
----------
Colette was sleeping on a couch. She was snoring quite loudly too. Dirk walked in with something in his hand. He shook Colette awake.
"Colette, Wake up." he said.
"No, just five more minutes. I don't want to get ready for school yet."
"I need to know what exactly you wanted on the sword you're giving to Lloyd."
"No I don't like decaf. Extra sugar if you can."
"Colette!"
"No you don't Mithos that's my pizza!"
"COLETTE!"
Colette blinked her eyes open. She looked around the dark room. Then she saw Dirk standing before her. He was holding a sword in his hand.
"What's that for?" she asked pointing at the sword.
Dirk gave her a puzzled look.
A sudden realization came to her and she said, "OH! I know! It's the sword I told you to make so I could give it to Lloyd for his birthday right? Tell me I'm right!" As she finished saying that she stood up grabbing the sword from Dirk's hand and examined it.
"Hey! This sword looks pretty normal to me! When are you going to put all the cool stuff on it?" she said staring at the normal looking sword in puzzlement.
"That's what I came here to ask you."
"Oh!" Colette said giving the sword one last look and handing it back to Dirk. "What time is it anyhow? I'm hungry!"
"It's nearly midnight now. You can get something to eat in the kitchen over there." Dirk said pointing down the hallway.
"Thanks!" Colette said walking down the hall to the kitchen. Dirk looked out at the forest. Noishe was sleeping soundly outside. Noishe was exhausted from Taking Colette to the mall and back to the village and then finally taking her up to Dirk's house to get the sword made in time. Dirk looked at the sky seeing the moon and the stars shining brightly. The moon was shining even brighter than normal. Making tonight seem special. He walked over to the couch and sat on it waiting for Colette to return from the kitchen.
----------
Twenty years ago, on this same night,
The moon was big and brilliantly bright,
The sky was shining with starlight,
And before I knew it I began to write.
But what I wrote was not on paper;
I needed something far greater.
So I began to make a sword,
This was going to be an award.
An award to a man I very well knew,
The man was cursed with sickness, the flu.
Tomorrow was his birthday yes;
I wanted my gift to be the best.
So I found material to make,
Something far greater than a cake.
So with the materials I had now made,
A very wondrous and astounding blade.
The handle was adorned with jewels,
Jewels to good for the eyes of fools.
As I started to engrave I looked up at the moon,
Suddenly ancient symbols appeared all over the room.
In green light on my desk some symbols caught my eye,
I couldn't escape such power, there was no use to even try.
I engraved the symbols' on the blade,
The wonderful blade that I had made.
Now that the blade was finished it was time to wrap it up,
My friend will get a great surprise tomorrow when he wakes up.
Tai: How was that? You must say it was good! Please?
Genis: Whatever.
Tai: I'm off to see how the 'discussion' is going.
Genis: Right...
(Tai leaves computer room and enters 'discussion' room.)
Mithos and Regal were still fighting. Raine and Colette resorted to playing chess and everybody else was crowding around the chess table uninterested in the fight.
Colette: Check!
Zelos: Move right there Raine!
Kratos: Ha! That'll just lose make her lose her knight!
Zelos: Oh.
Raine: Say goodbye to your little pawn Colette!
Colette: Goodbye Jimmy!
Raine: Do you have to name every peice?
Colette: I want to. It makes it more fun for me.
Zelos: Colette! Move there!
Kratos: Dude, that'll just get John the third dead.
Zelos: You memorized all of the peices names?
Kratos: Somewhat. That pawn is Becky, that knight is Hugh, the queen is Elizabeth, the King is Harold and the King's side castle is Audrey the second.
Zelos: ...
Colette: Ha! Liz got your castle!
Raine: Aw...
Regal: What are you guys doing over there.
Mithos: Take this! Light Spear Canon!
Regal: AAAHH!
Zelos: Raine and Colette are playin' chess!
Mithos: Really? Awesome! Let me watch!
Regal: I love chess!
Tai: Well I guess it's going good. Later!
Everyone: Later!
