Author's note: Hey there! I seem to forget to say hi on the first chapters. xD This fic is a mixture of SO2 and 3. Fayt and the gang come in later in the fic, but I didn't want to say much lest I spoil anything. Warning, if you haven't played or completed SO3, then there will be spoilers of events that happen. As for SO2, there's no real spoilers, really. It's like a rewrite of the final battles and endIt's rated M because of some of the content later on. xD
Chapter 2
Day of reckoning
Everyone woke up and gathered at the meeting point. Ashton swayed a little and Precis kept him upright.
"Ahhh, why does my head hurt?" he whined. Precis was holding onto his arm and he blushed, wondering to himself why this was happening…though, he could not complain. They were all led onto the Herush and they sat in silence. Rena burst out crying again and would not even respond to Claude, batting his hands away, when he tried to comfort her. She was quite upset with him. Leon walked forward.
"It will be okay, big sister. Once we finish these guys off, we can adjust some things in the space-time continuum and bring Expel back into existence," Leon said. Rena rubbed her eyes and smiled weakly at him.
"Thanks, Leon. That makes me feel better," Rena said. Leon blushed slightly and walked off. Dias walked up to Claude.
"I thought I told you not to hurt Rena," Dias said, glaring at him. Claude shook his head.
"I was trying to protect Rena by not telling her. And they had to go tell her," Claude said, pointing at Celine and Bowman, who now stood shuffling around nervously. Dias made a noise of contempt and walked off, glaring at the two perpetrators.
Ashton was swaying dreadfully and fell over. And stayed there.
"Ashton? Are you drunk?" Claude asked.
"He got drunk yesterday. But he must be hung over," Precis said. Claude did not look amused and the others sighed. Ashton sank to the ground and put his hands to his face.
"Ooooh, I'm so sorry you guys. I knew it would be like this, being the unluckiest guy in the world," Ashton whimpered. Precis sat down next to him and hugged him tightly, telling him it was alright. Ashton blinked with surprise.
"W-when have you been getting this close to me?!" Ashton asked. Precis giggled.
"Don't you remember? We had a private moment with each other last night, when you were drunk," Precis laughed. They all laughed along with her and Ashton blushed, laughing nervously along with them and then sighed.
"Ahhh, I can't even remember what was supposed to be the best night of my life. Why me?" Ashton said in a high pitching crying voice.
A/N: Sorry, this is a short chapter, the next one is longer.
And, please, if you have been reading these first two chapters, let me know how it's going! I am open to constructive criticism and whatnot.
