Bold letters is Kyubi or summon spirits talking
Lloyd slowly open his eyes only to find himself in a forest, a forest that he couldn't recognize since he has traveled all over Sylvarant and Teathealla he has memorize some of the places in his journey but he doesn't remember this forest it was very unfamiliar to him. He got up taking a look around the forest he still couldn't recognize it that's when he gasp remembering his childhood friend Colete, he started looking at every direction for any sign of the blond teen he ran a few feet before he saw her. He went to her while picking her up, he notice that she was breathing looks like she was all right.
"Colete are you okay say something"
The blond open her blue eyes meeting Lloyd's brown eyes" Lloyd what happen?"
"I don't know I just woke up just like you" he then gasp" wait a minute the monster the fight the portal…was it all a dream?"
"It seem pretty real to me" Colete said while getting up she look around the forest" Lloyd where are we?"
"I don't know this doesn't look like any forest from Symphonia so I'm pretty clueless to where we are"
The blond stood quiet while looking at the forest" Lloyd somehow I have a feeling like were no longer in Symphonia anymore"
The twin swordsmen was now shock remembering the fight with the monster and when they got sucked by the mysterious vortex his eyes widened staring at Colete who was shock like him" it….it can't be"
"What is it?" Colete said in fearing the worst.
"I think you're right Colete were no longer in our world the fight with the monster wasn't a dream and when we got sucked by that hole it must've send us to another world"
The blond was shock" is there a way to get back?"
"I don't know"
"There has to be a way to get back to our world" she said worry.
"I wish I knew how…."
"Can you hear me bearer of the new pact?"
Lloyd's eyes widened recognizing the voice of the king of the summon spirits" Origin what happened?"
"When you used the Eternal sword on the monster that attacked you its power created a rip in space creating a portal to another dimension into another world completely unfamiliar from our world"
"What then how do we do to get back can I used the Eternal sword to create the portal again?"
"No the risk is too great you still haven't fully master the power of the Eternal sword if you try to create the portal again you might end up in another world or you might be lost forever from returning back to your world"
"Then there's nothing I can do were trap here damn it" he growl while Colete was really worry.
"Things are not so bad it seems that the portal you created back in your world still exist you somehow created a link between this world and the world of Symphonia as long as that link remains there's the possibility that you can return"
Lloyd smile" really then we can go back after all that means the portal is in the same spot where we fought the monster those are great news but what are we going to do now?"
"I suggest you learn to master the Eternal sword by training it won't be easy but you must learn to harness its power it can take you a long time, however there is a bad side to this"
Lloyd didn't like where this was going" what are you talking about?"
"By creating a link between the two dimensions they are now connected by the dimensional portal if one world is in decline so will be the other if one world is destroyed then so will the other"
"Okay that is not good this is great I have created something similar to what Mithos did with the two worlds of Sylvarant and Teathealla damn it Origin do you know something about this world?"
"I'm afraid not like you I am completely unfamiliar with this world you will have to see and find out on your own don't give up pact maker Lloyd I believe you will find a way to return to your world"
Lloyd sighed as Origin cut his transmission with him they were now stranded in a whole new world where they didn't have a clue what kind of world they were and worst of all they were separated from their friends and families, Colete was really worry she has been listening to Lloyd's conversation with the king of the summon spirits.
"Lloyd what's going on is there a way for us to return back?"
Lloyd gaze at her worry" Colete I'm sorry but it looks like we won't be returning home any time soon"
"What we can't stay here what about everyone Genis the professor Sheena everyone we have to find a way to get back"
"Don't worry Colete I won't give up we will return back to our world but for now I think we should try and find out where we are"
The blond teen nodded while following Lloyd walking through the forest, walking through the forest they were quite surprise that they haven't encounter a monsters since they got used to fighting monsters while traveling. Lloyd saw that they were out of the forest and they were walking a road that lead straight ahead, both gasp as they saw a large village up ahead it was surrounded by a large wall the gates that lead to the village had the symbol of a leaf. They were glad they have reach a village and they could finally ask for directions like where were they, they started running until reaching the gate that lead to the village. They were stop by two people wearing chunin vest and long blue pants with blue sandals one had brown hair with a portion of his hair covering his right eye and bandana with the leaf symbol insignia, the other had a leaf headband but had spiky black hair black eyes and had some tape on his face.
"HALT state your name and purpose on Konoha" the chunin with brown hair known as Izumo said.
Lloyd and Colete look at each other before looking back at the two chunins, they have to make them see that they weren't enemies judging at the tone of their voices they were hostile expecting if it was an enemy attack.
"Hi we come in peace" Colete said cheery while Lloyd sweat dropped expecting that they won't believe her.
Izumo and the chunin Kotetsu look at each other with a sweat dropped since it was a lame line and very cliché" um…what is your purpose on Konoha?" Kotetsu said.
"Konoha" Lloyd said puzzle" is that the name of this world?"
"You are about to enter Konoha the village hidden in the leaves" Izumo said.
"I get it Konoha is the name of your village so what about this world does it has a name" Colete said still smiling.
Both chunins were confused by the blonds question what was she talking about" um…you're in Konoha located in the fire country"
(Fire country?) Lloyd thought in wonder" could you let us enter the village?"
"Names and purpose to Konoha?" Kotetsu said getting annoyed.
"Lloyd Irving"
"Colete Brunel"
The two chunins were really clueless now Izumo went to Kotetsu's ear" those are weird names they are definitely not from around here"
Kotetsu nodded in agreement still facing the two teens" do you have a specific reason to come to Konoha?"
(I wonder if the leader in charge of this village can tell us more about this world yeah that's the only thing we can do right now) "Actually we came here to speak to your leader"
Izumo and Kotetsu were alarmed but they remain calm" you wish to speak to the Hokage?" Izumo said.
"Hokage?" Colete said puzzle.
"Yes that's the title given to the leader of our village" Kotetsu said.
"Is that the case can we speak to the Hokage?" Lloyd said.
Izumo and Kotetsu were quiet for a moment ever since they arrive they have been looking at Lloyd's weapons, they have never seen swords like the ones he has they could tell that they weren't forge in the fire country. Which lead them believe that they were visitors from another hidden village however none of them were wearing a hidden village headband, all ninjas from the ninja villages wear headbands with their rightful village symbol but these two have no headband which made them believe that they weren't ninjas after all. They also notice that both of them had some kind of small round thing, Lloyd had the small round thing on the top of his left hand while Colete had the small round thing on her neck it looks like some kind of crystal however they are they were definitely people who weren't familiar with the elemental countries and the ninja villages.
Izumo nodded" all right you may go in and talk to the Hokage"
Suddenly an AMBU wearing a cat mask appear in front of them" I will take you to see the Hokage"
"Thank you very much" Colete said being her cheery self.
They left with the AMBU and vanish in a cloud of smoke.
"Who were those people?" Kotetsu said.
"They were asking the name of our world so they are not from around here they could hold a threat" Izumo said.
"It doesn't matter now the AMBU have their sights on them if they make a wrong move they will kill them on sight"
"Although they didn't look like they came here to attack us"
"But you saw the swords that guy was carrying I've never seen swords like those before"
"I guess swords like those aren't made in fire country or the other elemental countries"
At the Hokage's office
The AMBU appeared with Lloyd and Colete and they were quite shock they saw that they were in a office, sitting on a desk was a young woman(AN well looks like young) with blond hair pig tails and hazel eyes with a green jacket there was another young woman next to her with short raven hair and onyx eyes wearing a black dress and a small pig wearing a red jacket and a white pearl necklace. Both teens were shock at the way the AMBU send them to the office they have seen it before back in their world.
(No way that's the same teleportation technique that Sheena uses) Lloyd thought.
"Hokage-sama you have a couple of visitors" the AMBU said.
"And who might they be?" Tsunade said looking at the two teens.
"Lloyd Irving" the twin swordsman said.
"Colete Brunel" the blond girl said.
Both Tsunade and Shizune look at each other before looking back them they have never heard names like those before.
(Weird names) Tsunade thought while clearing her throat" thank you may go back"
"Yes Hokage-sama" the AMBU while vanishing.
"All right Lloyd and Colete what brings you to my village?"
"Yes Hokage-sama we were wondering if you could tell us more about this world in general" Lloyd said.
Tsunade blink while Shizune was very puzzle by his question" what do you mean by that?"
"Well we are new here and we have been wondering if you could give us a quick history lesson if you don't mind" Colete said with a big smile.
"Were tourist" Lloyd said quickly while Colete nodded.
"Tourist huh?" she said while raising an eyebrow" I have never heard of a tourist who carries swords like the ones you have" she gaze at the two swords on each of Lloyd's sides (in fact I have never seen swords like those in my entire life)
"We're actually tourist from a far away land but Lloyd here is a warrior who fights for justice and goodness" Colete said hiding the nervous tone in her voice.
Lloyd sweat dropped at her comment (great Colete is bringing that stupid dwarven vow again)
Tsunade and Shizune sweat dropped too it sounded lame.
"Can you tell me exactly the name of the world where you two are from?" the blond Hokage said.
The two teens stood quiet they couldn't trust these people yet so it was better if they didn't tell them about the world of Symphonia maybe they will when the time is right, but for now they needed to keep it a secret.
Lloyd blush from embarrassment while scratching the back of his head" well you see I am not very good with memorizing things and how can I say this I don't really remember the name of our land sorry"
"Yeah Lloyd has been terrible at memorizing things he wasn't really the type to learn things so quickly" Colete said while Lloyd sweat dropped at her comment saying in other words that he was stupid.
Tsunade sweat dropped (so he's stupid he must have the devils luck to survive so long he reminds me of Naruto)
(He's just like Naruto-kun) Shizune thought with a sweat dropped.
"All right so your land must be far away from the ninja nations okay….I will give you a quick lesson about this world but you better memorize this because I won't repeat myself again understood?"
"Yes we understand" Lloyd said.
"This world is the elemental countries that forms the ninja world they are five countries following the five elements fire, earth, water, wind and lighting each of the five countries has its own hidden ninja village this village is Konoha the village hidden in the leaves located in the fire country Suna the village hidden in the sand located in the wind country, Kiri the village hidden in the mist located in the water country Iwa the village hidden in the stones located in the earth country and finally Kumo the village hidden in the clouds located in the lighting country these are the five main ninja villages that form part of the five elemental countries. There are also other ninja villages but they don't have too much power like the five main villages well I hope this explains your question to know about this world"
"Oh yes we understand now Hokage-sama thank you very much for telling us" Colete said happy.
"Yeah thanks a lot Hokage-sama" Lloyd said.
"Since you two are here might as well show you around the village Shizune please send them to the waiting room until I find the people to show them around"
"Yes Tsunade-sama" Shizune bow while opening the door to the office" please follow me"
The two teens nodded while leaving the office and Tsunade smile (Lloyd Irving he reminds me so much of Naruto)
Shizune was leading Lloyd and Colete through the corridors of the Hokage tower they saw three ninjas heading their way one was a mask ninja with his leaf headband covering his left eye silver hair and wearing a jounin vest with the same uniform that Kotetsu and Izumo were wearing. The second was a teen boy with spiky blond hair blue eyes whiskers on his cheeks wearing a black leaf headband and an orange and black jumpsuit, the second was a teen girl with short pink hair jade eyes a red headband on the top of her head, she was wearing a red sleeveless blouse pink elbow pads an incomplete pink skirt black spandex shorts and black boots. For a moment Colete lock gazes with the blond teen and Lloyd with the pink hair teen, the two other teens did the same for a couple of seconds until Colete being her clumsy self trip and fell hitting the blond teen and falling on the ground. Lloyd sweat dropped looks like Colete has done it again he took a quick glance at the pink hair teen before helping his childhood friend the same with the pink hair girl she gaze at Lloyd before helping her blond friend.
"You okay Colete?"
"Yes I'm fine I'm so sorry I am such a klutz" she said while bowing to the three"
"It's all right accidents happen and don't worry Naruto here is also very clumsy" the girl with pink hair said.
"What Sakura-chan how can you be so mean I am not clumsy" Naruto said while hanging his head down.
"You have your moments" Sakura said with a smirk.
"Are you all right?" the mask ninja said.
"Yes I'm fine don't worry it was my fault for tripping" Colete said while blushing in embarrassment.
"That's all right just make sure to watch your step next time"
"Oh Kakashi I'm glad I found you Tsunade-sama wants to see you and your team in her office" Shizune said.
"I see then let's go you two" Kakashi said while they left heading to the office.
Naruto took another glance at Colete the same with Sakura on Lloyd and they were also looking at them.
"Let's go I'll show you to the waiting room" Shizune said while they nodded and continued walking.
"Shizune who were those three?" Lloyd said.
"Oh that's team Kakashi perhaps you will meet them later"
The two teens nodded while following her to the waiting room.
At the Hokage's office
Team Kakashi enter the office while Tsunade smile at them expecting to hear the results from the bells exercise.
"Well Kakashi how did it go?"
"Just as I was expecting their teamwork have improved greatly and they manage to snatch both bells quickly I very proud of both of them" the mask jounin said.
"Hey Kakashi sensei aren't you going to tell her how we beat you?" Naruto said with a grin and Sakura grin too enjoying how they defeated their teacher.
Kakashi cough not wanting to remember the embarrassing moment when Naruto,was about to tell him spoilers from his new Itcha Itcha novel since he hasn't started to read it yet.
"Anyway Hokage-sama they did a good job"
"I expected no less from them now Naruto Sakura I have a new assignment for the two of you"
"A mission?" Sakura said.
"You can call it like that we have some new and strange guest today they have come from a different land far from the ninja nations and they don't know much about ninja villages, they will be staying here for a while so I want you two to show them around the village they are already waiting in the waiting room"
"All right Tsunade-sama we'll go to them" Sakura said while bowing.
Naruto frown" why are we babysitting a bunch of guest I thought we were going to have a real mission" he whine as usual.
Sakura smack him on his head while a lump appear" Naruto knock it off stop whining let's go"
"Yeah" he said not sounding any exited they left the office.
"So who are these guests?" Kakashi said.
"They are no ninjas from another hidden village they don't know nothing how this world works when they came here they wanted to tell them about our world"
"They sound like they are out of this world how is that possible" Kakashi said in disbelieve.
"I don't know they are not normal their clothing their names and weapons one of them had a couple of swords strap on both of his sides they look beyond normal I have never seen such a designs for weapons"
Kakashi's eyes widened in realization" wait a minute two swords strap on both sides is it that kid in red that we pass by before coming here with spiky brown hair and there was a blond girl with him she was being awfully cheery for her own good"
"Ah so you meet them already yes its them even if they are not from around here I have a feeling that they can be trusted especially him Lloyd that kid just by looking at him he reminds me of Naruto"
Kakashi raised an eyebrow" really are you saying that his similar to Naruto?"
"Yes I think they are alike I know it sounds like bad news but I can tell that both of them are going to get along" she said with a chuckle" however Kakashi I want you to keep an eye on both of them even if they look like they can be trusted there's something about them there's more to them than meets the eye"
"Understood I'll watch over them"
At the waiting room
Lloyd and Colete were waiting for the people who were going to show them around the village, they were quiet they have been thinking about what Tsunade told them. They were now in a new world completely different from theirs, a world dominated by ninjas this was going to get some getting used to indeed. For Lloyd and Colete it somehow reminded them of Mizuho the ninjas and culture it seems that there was some similarity between their world and this one, he sighed he was getting bore waiting was never one of his strong points while Colete was looking around the room feeling an uneasy a little.
"Lloyd what are we going to do now?"
"Well so far we have no choice, I think we should stay here until I can learn how to used the Eternal sword so I can make the portal again and return back to our home"
"I hope you're right I already missed everyone"
"Yeah me too but Colete we have to keep everything a secret to this people our world, the exspheres and most importantly the Eternal sword"
"Okay I know we shouldn't trust them but I have a feeling like we can trust them"
"I know but sometimes it's better to be prepare than be deceived"
Suddenly the door open and enter Naruto and Sakura they were surprise to meet the same teens they ran to before entering Tsunade's office, both Lloyd and Colete were surprise too they smile at them.
"So I'm guessing you guys are the ones who are going to show us around the village?" Lloyd said.
"That's right the name is Uzumaki Naruto and I'm going to be Hokage believe it" the blond ninja said.
"I'm Haruno Sakura I'm a medic ninja please to meet you two"
"Lloyd Irving"
"Colete Brunel"
The two ninjas stare at each other before looking back at them (weird names)
"So should we get going then?" Sakura said.
"Yeah I am so excited to look around the village let's go"
Suddenly a loud growl was heard in the room shocking the group, Sakura glare at her blond teammate.
"Naruto you should really try to control that stomach of yours"
"But Sakura-chan it wasn't me"
"Actually it was me" Lloyd said with a blush on his cheeks" I guess I haven't eaten in a while"
Colete giggle" we have been traveling for a while and we haven't gotten a chance to eat or even cook"
"I guess that's understandable" Sakura said while looking at Lloyd worry (don't tell me he has the same inhuman appetite like Naruto)
"Well you guys are lucky to be with us because I know a good place to eat the best ramen you could ever have let's go I pay for the meal"
Sakura roll her eyes they were going to Ichiraku's again it was after all Naruto's favorite place to eat ramen, they left the room leaving the Hokage tower heading to the streets of the village, Lloyd was curious now he said that Naruto was going to pay making him ask one question.
(I wonder if they use Gald to buy things in this world but this is a completely different world so I doubt it)
Symphonia Sylvarant territory (a few miles away from Iselia)
Two ninjas appeared in the spot where the powerful monster fought Lloyd and Colete they saw the caravan which was the gift the people of Iselia gave them so they could gather the exspheres. Sheena Fujibayashi the chief of Mizuho stood looking at the caravan (AN she's wearing her successor outfit) along with her friend Orochi, apparently since Mizuho was closest to Iselia they send a message requesting their services to find Lloyd and Colete. The villagers of Iselia knew something was wrong once they saw the frightened Noishe running to them the poor thing was scare beyond normal, so eventually they figured something must have happened to the two. Orochi knelt on the ground checking the footprints on the ground and he could tell something happen, Sheena went next to him checking footprints.
"These are Lloyd's and Colete's footprints they look fresh" Sheena said.
"Yes and there's another footprint bigger than theirs it looks like a monster" Orochi said.
"Yeah no doubt there was a fight here Lloyd and Colete fought the monster where could they be?"
"Maybe they have already left to their next destination" Orochi said.
Sheena shook her head" if that was the case then why would they leave the caravan that the village of Iselia gave them they are suppose to be on a journey to collect all of the exspheres I have a bad feeling about this"
"We should send a search party to start looking for them"
"Yeah send our best trackers immediately I'm going to send a message to Genis and Raine they are supposed to be in Palmacosta helping with the reconstruction of the city"
"Understood" Orochi said while vanishing.
The Mizuho chief sighed while looking at the caravan she then look at the night sky hoping that her friends were still alive (Lloyd Colete wherever you are I hope you two are all right)
To be continued
