At Naruto's apartment

Naruto lead Lloyd to his apartment with the purpose to spend the night Tsunade gave orders for Naruto to share his apartment with the twin swordsman, he didn't argue since Lloyd has become a good friend of his as for Colete she was staying in Sakura's house which the pink hair kunoichi didn't argue either she didn't mind having another girl staying with her and neither does her mother. Lloyd gaze at his small apartment he saw the kitchen area which had a lot of empty noodle cups on the sink and it was a little trashy, the blond show him to his room and his eyes widened. The whole room was a mess there was clothes everywhere empty bowls of ramen scatter around, his bed was also messy and he saw the cockroaches swirling the half eaten bowls of ramen he sweat dropped at the sight.

Naruto scratch the back of his head in pure embarrassment" um…the room is a little messy sorry about that"

Lloyd sweat dropped at his comment (only a little) he chuckle" Naruto you should see my room it's messier of course my dad will hit me if I don't keep it clean"

"Oh really" he said softly thinking what would it be if he had a father to scold him for having his room look like a trash can.

Lloyd noticed his sudden change of expression and got worry" hey Naruto you okay?"

The blond jinchuuriki snap from his thinking looking at him with his fox grin" yeah I'm fine anyway I hate to do this but if you're going to sleep in my room I will have to clean my room"

"Hey what do you mean I there is no I in team so I will help you clean it"

"Thanks"

The two teens started cleaning the room taking all the trash while killing the cockroaches they were everywhere, after a couple of minutes they finally finished cleaning. Naruto's eyes almost fell out of his sockets he has NEVER seen his room so clean it seems it was a long time since he had his room clean, he took one of his sleeping bags and put it the ground.

"Here Lloyd sorry I wish I had an extra bed but I don't this apartment was meant to be used by one person"

"No problem I don't mind sleeping in the floor"

Naruto nodded before leaving to the bathroom to get a shower after he was done he return back to his room wearing his usual pajamas, Lloyd took his turn in the shower and return moments later with a white shirt and his black boxers he lied on the sleeping bag ready to close his eyes.

"Goodnight Naruto"

The blond didn't said a word when Lloyd check on his he was already asleep he sweat dropped (whoa already) he lie down again as he slowly close his eyes ready to drift to sleep, before he fell asleep he started thinking about his friend back in his world everyone that became precious to him.

(I wonder how everyone is doing.)

At Sakura's house

Sakura lead Colete to one of the free rooms in her house these were the time she was thankful to have an extra room, she was glad to have someone living with her even if the blond was a little too good for herself she has become her friend. Colete was happy to have a place to stay until she and Lloyd find a way to return to their world, she just met Sakura's mother who was a very kind woman she knew she was going to get along with her just fine the same with Sakura, she smile gazing at the room the bed look very comfortable and the room look very nice she could say it was kind of girly her exact taste.

"This is where you'll be staying"

"Thank you so much Sakura I really appreciate that you're allowing me to stay in your house I know you must be bother I'm sorry"

Sakura smile" of course it doesn't bother me I don't mind having you live with me it's like I have a sister and my mom already likes you so she's not bother either she's happy to have you here Colete"

She giggle" thanks I am going to like living here"

"The bathroom is the second door to the left if you want to take a shower I'll bring you a pair of pajamas I just hope you're my clothing size"

"Thanks I do feel like getting refreshing myself with a nice bath….so Sakura can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah sure"

"Naruto is your friend right?"

The pink hair kunoichi blink not expecting that kind of question" yeah he's my friend why'd you asked?"

"The if he's your friend then why do you hit him it's not nice to hit friends like that"

Sakura sweat dropped (she can be quite a goody goody sometimes) she gave a deep thoughtful look" I hit him because he can be quite stupid sometimes but he's still my friend"

"So he's your friend and that's why you hit him I don't get it"

"No I hit him because he can be childish stupid and a pervert sometimes and I don't like when he acts like that but even if that's the case he's a good friend of mine and I care about him….just don't tell him I say that I think he's still has a crush on me and I don't want to hurt his feelings he's very emotional when it comes to matters of the heart he just doesn't show it"

Colete smile happily" oh so he likes you more than just a friend that's so cute"

Sakura shush her" don't even joke about that I….look Colete the thing is I don't like Naruto like that and I'm trying to do whatever it takes not to hurt him I know that he holds the pain inside so I don't get hurt but I'm worry about him I just wish he would just let his crush go and move on don't get me wrong I'm sure he can finds that perfect someone if he tries and finally stop thinking about me like that"

"I see you really care about him you want him to find someone worthy of his love because you think you're not worthy of him"

"Yeah that's another reason why I want him to forget about me you see when I was younger I mistreated Naruto I called him names and acted like a horrible person, there was someone I thought I loved with all my heart but he……" her jade eyes soften thinking about a certain Uchiha" he had sudden urge to get power so he could have revenge so he left the village and he left me he never care about me….someone like me doesn't deserve love I can't love Naruto because I still haven't let go of him…I guess I am destined to be miserable not having someone to love and cherished hey but it's okay I don't let it bother me…."

Sakura notice Colete putting her hands on her shoulder giving her an angel smile" Sakura don't say that everyone deserves to be happy everyone has a right to fall in love I am sure that somewhere out there is someone who is desperate to be love just like you the only problem is that you won't know who's that person until the last moment love is strange you can't predict that you love someone until the last moment its strange"

She smirk" well they say that love is blind and its true thanks Colete and what about you, you and Lloyd seem to be pretty close…"

The blond giggle" yeah I used to think that I like him like that but little by little I realized that I like him as a brother I mean we know each other since we were five we know each other pretty well"

"Oh so you guys are childhood friends you know Naruto and Iknew each other since we were kids but I didn't talk to him I already told you I wasn't a nice person when I was younger, I couldn't help it but mistreat him and ignore him because the village hated him a lot he never knew his parents and he was always alone….."

Colete gasp feeling pity for the blond ninja" that's terrible why would they hate him when he was all alone without parents and no friends?"

"Because Colete…." she then gasp realizing what she was about to do (oh no I can't tell her about the Kyubi even if I tell her it's still a law and I can't break it) she gaze back at the blond who was expecting her to continued" um….it's nothing forget about it"

"What I can't forget about this if Naruto was really alone why in the world would they hate him it's not fair" she said with some anger rising.

"The world can be cruel Colete it's not perfect people have the feeling to fear and hate what's difference so when they see someone who seems to be different from themselves they fear and hate that person for no good reason….the victim can't help it because it wasn't his fault to begin with…." her jade eyes soften while thinking about Naruto.

Colete's blue eyes softened she started thinking about the half elves who were victims of the humans they were fear and hated because they were different, because of Mithos who created the Desians the world was turn into a field of oppression for the half elves because the Desians were half elves turning the innocent half elves into the victims. She thought about all the humans and half elves alike that were killed because of the Desians because of their hatred for the humans, looks like even if this was another world it wasn't perfect either sometimes she thought that there was no such thing as a perfect world that it was all a stupid vision of hers because she was once the chosen of regeneration to bring peace and salvation to the world.

"Maybe you're right Sakura the world is not perfect but….." she started thinking about the positive things Lloyd has accomplished" we can't give up we have to do whatever we can to make this world as perfect as we can and that's why I will never give up"

Sakura smile for some reason her way of thinking reminded her of Naruto (she really is a goody goody)" you're right Colete I really want to fight for a world like that by protecting all of my friends and the village I also have a dream of becoming the best medic ninja"

"That's good we all have dreams for the future I wish there was a world where everyone can get along but that is very hard to accomplish its almost sounds impossible but I won't give up until that dream is achieve Lloyd is also fighting for that dream"

(A world where everyone can get along yeah it does sound impossible but maybe there is hope) she thought with a smile looking at the blond" you know Colete I think you're too good to be true"

"Huh?" The blond said not understanding what she meant.

"You have a lot of positive attitude I guess if I hang around you for too long I'll become as hopeful as you but I' already hanging around with a blond knucklehead who has a dream to become Hokage and protect everyone so I'm glad to have you as a friend"

Colete's eyes lit up while smiling" I'm always happy to meet more friends the more the merrier right?"

"Yeah well I better go I'll bring you some of my pajamas when you're done showering" she then left the room closing the door behind her and sighed.

(I hope I don't become a goody goody like her) she thought but somehow she felt like she was already one.

The next day

Naruto, Lloyd, Sakura and Colete were on their way to Yakiniku's Q restaurant to meet up with the gang they were invited by the whole rookie nine since they had the day off from missions, Colete was being more happy than usual because she was going to meet more friends while Lloyd had a small smile on his face. He misses his home and his friends but he has like being in Konoha he now knows that the people living here are good and hardworking perhaps they were trustworthy after, but he didn't wanted to tell the truth yet he wasn't ready to tell them about the exspheres and the eternal sword it was valuable information that falling into the wrong hands will be disastrous the last thing he wanted was to this world become like the past Sylvarant and Teathealla. They arrived at the restaurant and enter to meet a couple of people seated in one of the grill tables, Lloyd could tell that they were teens like sixteen to seventeen he smile seeing TenTen, Neji and Lee with the group. There was one group with a boy with wild brown hair black eyes and red marks next to him was a large white dog, the second teen well he couldn't see his face because he had it cover with a hood the third was a girl with long navy blue hair white pearl eyes he took a quick glance at her and notice her develop chest it reminded him of Sheena's chest.

He erased any inappropriate thoughts he hated thinking these kinds of thoughts and it was all thanks to Zelos hanging around him has been making a little perverted, he dispel the thought while gazing at the last group of teens. One of them had a short pony black hair and black eyes judging by his expression he look lazy, the second person was eating some meat while picking them with a pair of chopsticks he look very hungry he was chubby with long spiky brown hair and black eyes. The last member was another girl with blond hair a portion of her hair hiding her left eye he notice her visible eyes which was aqua blue, Lloyd admitted that she was a looker but somehow he didn't felt interested in her not knowing why thought. The group went to the table to greet them, the rest of the team gaze at the two strangers who were obviously Lloyd and Colete with curiosity others were happy namely Tenten.

"Lloyd you made it" she said and everyone notice the increase of her happy tone.

"Hey guys how is it going?" Naruto said.

"You're just in time we were waiting for you guys" Neji said.

"So I'm guessing you two are the visitors that the village is talking about" the lazy jounin said.

"Yes everyone I want you to meet Lloyd and his friend Colete" Sakura said looking at the rookie nine" this is Shikamaru, Chouji, Ino, Shino, Kiba and Hinata"

"Nice to meet you all" Lloyd said.

"It's very nice to meet you all" Colete said with a bow.

The group nodded and got seated in the table joining them in the meal even if Chouji has already eaten everything which lead to poor Shikamaru to order more bbq pork regretting his decision because was paying what was he thinking, they started talking about different things like their missions as Konoha ninjas. They have been talking most of all about their past in the ninja academy till the day they became genins their missions the chunin exams and everything about their missions up till now, Colete was enjoying the conversation a lot she already felt like she has meet more wonderful friends. Lloyd was in the same boat as Colete happy to meet more people who were becoming his friends; of course he wasn't paying attention to what they were saying because he had his full attention on Tenten pretending like he wasn't looking at her long, he gaze at her again and she look at him smiling and he smile back at her feeling embarrassed not knowing what to do. Tenten every two minutes would steal glances of the twin swordsman this was notice by the girls Sakura and Ino were grinning while Hinata was smiling, looks like the weapons mistress was starting to develop a small crush for Lloyd.

Things got a little complicated when the group ask Lloyd and Colete about their homeland the two teens stood quiet not knowing what to say remembering not to say anything about their world, Lloyd told them the same thing he told Tsunade that they were from a far away land from the five ninja nations. They all sweat dropped when he said that he didn't remember the name of the land and of course some didn't believe him by the hesitant tone in his voice, those were Shikamaru, Neji and Shino knew something was up with him but for now they decided to ignore it. The group continued talking when by accident Naruto trip and he ended up touching the grill table earning a loud scream in pain because his hand got burn, the group sweat dropped along with Lloyd and he thought Colete was clumsy.

Sakura went to him trying calm down" Naruto hold still let me heal it before it gets worse"

"AH come on Sakura-chan it burns so much I can't stand still"

"Damn it Naruto hold still I can't heal it if you don't hold still"

Kiba laugh" man you haven't change at all Naruto you're still the clumsy dobe from the academy"

"SHUT UP DOG BREATH IT BURNS" Naruto shouted annoyed at his comment.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY DOBE"

"YOU HEARD ME YOU'RE A DOG BREATH"

Kiba growl the same with Akamaru he didn't like that comment he always took priority in smelling nice according to him that is.

(Kiba obtained the title of dog boy description: just because you have a pet dog that doesn't mean you have to smell like one)

Shikamaru sighed" this is troublesome hey Chouji are you done eating?"

"Nope I can eat some more" the Akimichi said while eating more bbq pork.

He sighed" if you keep this up I will have to do more missions to earn more money why did Asuma sensei put me into the task of treating you"

Ino giggle" I think its Asuma sensei's way of getting even with you for beating him you at Shogi"

"I don't want to do any more troublesome missions it's enough that the fifth had to put me in charge of the chunin exams why can I get a nice break I just want to watch the clouds and take a nice nap"

(Shikamaru earned the title of lazy genius description: he has an IQ of over 250 but he prefers to watch the clouds than to do any work)

Chouji eat another piece of bbq pork" mmm I love Yakiniku's pork it's the best"

Lloyd sweat dropped (man how much he can eat if he keeps eating he will look like a balloon)

(Chouji earned the title of fatty description: WHAT I'm not fat I'm just big bone)

Suddenly Lloyd's attention shifted to Naruto and Sakura his eyes widened slightly as he saw Sakura's hands glowing green, the green glow was aim at Naruto's burn hand. Slowly the burn marks started fading he was healed, Lloyd was surprise he look at Colete who was looking at him with the same expression they have seen different healing techniques before because of Raine, Kratos and Zelosbut this was quite different.

(Did she used first aid on him but it didn't look like first aid what did she do?) Lloyd thought

(I've never seen a healing spell like that before the professor hasn't done that either) Colete thought.

"There you're all healed Naruto and please try not to be clumsy okay" Sakura said while the blond nodded happily.

Everyone notice that Lloyd and Colete were staring at Sakura with puzzle looks making the medic ninja curious at their gazes" is there something wrong?"

"Um…I guess Sakura that technique you did on Naruto what was it?" Lloyd said.

The pink hair kunoichi blink" oh that was medical ninjutsu all medic ninjas can perform it, it allow us to heal all injuries"

"Medical ninjutsu" Lloyd said puzzle.

"Yeah I never heard of a spell like that before" Colete said thinking out loud.

The group was now confused by the word that the blond said while Shikamaru, Neji and Shino were getting a bit more suspicious of their new friends.

"Spell" Naruto said not having a clue what it means.

Lloyd gave his blond friend a scolding look that said not to say another word that would raise confusion and suspicion, he gave them an embarrassed look he chuckle hiding the nervous tone" um..what Colete said is that in our homeland we called your techniques spells"

"So you called jutsus spells" Neji said wanting to know more.

"Yeah in our land some of us use spells that heals injuries some of them take a lot of mana to cast" Lloyd said.

The group blinks in unison hearing a word that they have never heard before.

"Mana what's that?" Shikamaru said.

Lloyd gulp while Colete sweat dropped now it was her friend the one who is starting to raise more suspicion by telling them more information about their world, there was no way to hide it now he needed to tell them the truth otherwise they wouldn't let the topic go and judging by the faces they were giving him namely Shikamaru, Neji and somehow he could somehow tell that Shino was staring at him too even if his face was covered.

(Damn it why did I have to say that out loud now I will have to tell them about Mana) he clear his throat looking deep in thought" um…well Mana is like an energy that runs through you and…..oh man I really don't know how to explain it I wish Genis and the professor were here to explain it they know more about the topic sorry"

The whole group sweat dropped looks like Lloyd wasn't so bright it reminded him of Naruto, the twin swordsman was relief at least he didn't have to tell them keeping their secret safe that is until Colete smile at the group ready to spill the beans.

"Actually Mana is an energy that resides in all living things humans animals plants Mana is everywhere around us it is the very source of life, it's more important than water it's also the source of energy needed to use healing techniques"

All of the ninjas stood in awe at the revelation they just heard Shikamaru was already in deep thought the same with Neji the rest stood quiet looking at Colete, Lloyd sweat dropped he was glad he didn't tell them about Mana but it was his blond friend the one to tell and messed things up.

(Thanks Colete might as well tell them about the half elves and the exspheres oh and don't forget about the eternal sword too)

"That is some piece of knowledge you just told us Colete I never heard anything like it" Sakura said sounding very interested in the topic.

"I'll say are you sure you're not talking about chakra" Neji said.

"Chakra" Lloyd said while blinking.

"No we're not talking about that its Mana it is a very vital and important energy" Colete said.

"Exactly chakra is a very important energy we all have it in our bodies all ninjas use it to perform jutsu and it's also vital because without chakra we die" Shikamaru said.

Lloyd and Colete were surprise to hear that they way it was describe to them it was the same way about Mana is it possible.

(Chakra it can't be it has the same meaning and uses as Mana there's no way it can't be related can it?) Lloyd thought.

"What are you guys talking about chakram is a weapon not energy" Colete said not understanding what they were talking about.

"No chakra is energy we can tell if its chakra by the color you see the color of chakra is blue" Tenten said adding her two cents.

Both teens were startle at the statement.

(It can't be that's the same color of Mana but it's not possible this is a whole different world than ours so why…) he caught up in his thinking.

"I don't get it chakram it's a weapon not energy" Colete said still puzzle.

Tenten chuckle slightly finally understanding what she was talking about" no Colete its chakra not chakram, chakram it's a circular weapon what we're talking about its chakra without the m"

"Oh its chakra NOT chakram I'm sorry I guess I was confuse you see I use chakrams as my weapon so I eventually thought you guys were talking about the weapon"

"Hey I also have chakrams too I got confuse too when I was back at the academy" Tenten said with a smile.

"So Colete can you tell us more about Mana?" Shino said wanting to hear more about the new knowledgeable topic.

"That's all there is to know about Mana its very vital for the world and everything has Mana"

"All living things have chakra just like Iruka sensei taught us in the academy" Sakura said.

"Yeah I think it has to be the same" Naruto said.

"Perhaps you're confusing the word we called it chakra not Mana" Shino said.

"Or perhaps you call chakra Mana in your land" Neji said looking at the two teens.

"Where are you guys from again?" Shikamaru said.

"I already told you I don't know the name of our land my memory always fail me quite often" Lloyd said hiding the embarrassment tone.

Kiba grin" sounds like you have the memory span of a fly"

Lloyd growl while Inuzuka glare at him back.

"Kiba-kun that's not nice" Hinata said.

(I wonder is it possible that Mana and chakra are related they both have the same attributes and meanings same color too maybe in our world we called it Mana and here they call it chakra, even if they are different worlds but how and why…argh all this thinking is making my head hurt I'm not used to think so much how does professor Sage do it?) Lloyd thought.

"Hey Lloyd you okay?" Tenten ask seeing the twin swordsman lost in thought.

"Huh oh yeah I'm fine just thinking so how about we eat I'm hungry"

"Yeah let's eat I'm hungry too" Naruto said.

"Well Naruto you will pay for your food" Sakura said in scold while her blond teammate sighed.

"Shikamaru you're still paying for Chouji" Ino said with a smirk.

"YES I WANT MORE" Chouji shouted happy.

"Why me I'm going to be broke"

"Okay I'll pay for my food so how much gald is it?" Lloyd said getting the attention from the group.

Lee blink" what….gald what's that?"

"Its money how much is it don't you guys pay food with gald?"

"Yes but here we pay the food with ryou" Neji said.

"I guess you called ryou in your land gald" Shino said.

"Yeah I guess" Lloyd said while scratching the back of his head.

"Lloyd can you show me a gald coin?" Shikamaru said.

"Huh yeah sure" he pick his pants pocket and took a gald coin when the group saw it they were really caught seeing the designs of the coin it was color golden yellow different from the ryou's color.

Shikamaru took the coin while examining it (I have never seen a coin like this before this is definitely not ryou and they are definitely not from this part of the world)

(There's something about these two they are hiding something) Neji thought.

(Perhaps we should tell Hokage-sama about it) Shino thought.

"Well Lloyd you're money here won't help you so I will pay for your food" Tenten said.

Neji and Lee were taken by this.

(Tenten has never pay food for any of us before) Lee thought.

"Thanks Tenten is it too much trouble can you also pay for Colete's food too?" Lloyd said.

Hearing this the weapons mistress frown a little" I think Colete can pay for her food somehow" looks like she was still jealous at the fact that Lloyd and Colete are close.

The whole group was really surprise by her sudden behavior they all knew her too well especially her teammates and this was definitely not like the Tenten they know.

(What's wrong with Tenten she has never acted like this before does she holds some kind of grudge with Colete?) Neji thought.

(Well well I never thought I'll see the day looks like Tenten is jealous) Ino thought while grinning.

"Um….Tenten Colete has gald just like me she can't pay for her food" Lloyd said.

"Well too bad for her" she said hiding any amount of jealousy in her while the rest of the group sweat dropped at her comment.

Colete gaze at Tenten with a hint of hurt in her eyes (what's wrong with Tenten why does she seems like she hates me I haven't done anything to anger her)

"It's all right Lloyd I'll pay for Colete's food" Sakura said with a sweat dropped not wanting to look forward to see a cat fight between Tenten and Colete.

"Okay thanks Sakura"

"Thank you Sakura" Colete said while smiling at her friend.

The group started ordering their food while Shikamaru was muttering getting broke because he was treating Chouji, pretty soon their food arrive and everyone started eating. Lloyd steals glances at Tenten when she wasn't looking and Tenten did the same when he wasn't looking even if she didn't know why, Sakura and Ino were smirking at the scene while Hinata was smiling of course she knew what it was all about. After a while the group finished their meals and left the restaurant Shikamaru was officially broke because of Chouji's infinite stomach, Naruto and the group left too Colete went after Tenten and the rest of team Gai.

"Wait Tenten"

The team turned their attention to the blond.

"What is it Colete?" she said not sounding angry.

"Look I'm sorry if I made you get angry at me I don't know what I did to you but I'm sorry please forgive me"

Neji and Lee look back at their teammate giving her the look that said what is she talking about, the weapons mistress sighed looking at the blond" Colete there is nothing to apologize for I am not angry at you, you haven't done nothing to me so it's okay"

"Are you sure when you look at me you look like you're angry with me please tell me what's wrong I don't want you to hate me"

"I already told you Colete I am not angry at you it's nothing so don't worry about it"

"Okay but we are friends right?"

She smile" yeah of course see you later"

The trio left while Colete smile going back to the others.

"What was that all about Tenten?" Lee said.

"I don't know she says I'm angry at her but that's ridiculous because she hasn't done a thing to me"

"You have been looking at her back at the restaurant with a discomfort look" Neji said.

"I don't know what you're talking about Neji"

The Hyuga prodigy stood quiet continuing walking he didn't needed his byakugan to tell that she was obviously lying what was going on in her head.

(What is wrong with me I am angry at Colete but I don't know why she hasn't done anything to me so why do I feel angry at her)

Colete return to the others smiling at least Tenten wasn't angry with her she didn't like having friends getting angry with her, they continued walking the streets Sakura was still thinking what Lloyd said about Mana and thought that maybe there was a relation between Mana and chakra. The three stop walking when they realize that Naruto has stop, he look like he was in deep thought before looking at Lloyd with an expression that was filled with pure determination.

"What's wrong Naruto?" Sakura ask her blond teammate.

"Lloyd I……I have a favor to ask of you"

"A favor what is it?" Lloyd said.

"Do you think you can teach me how to fight like you?"

The three blink in surprise at this while Lloyd was more surprise than the two" you mean..you want me to teach you how to fight with two swords?"

The blond ninja nodded" yeah I want to learn to fight like you I want to get stronger so what do you say?"

Lloyd smile feeling embarrassed" yeah sure I have no problem with that"

"You mean it YEAH I can't wait"

Lloyd smile (I can't believe I'm going to teach someone how to fight I have a feeling everything will be all right)

He was about to find out how complicated having a student was going to be.

Sylvarant territory Sylvarant base (meeting room)

In the meeting room of the renegades base in the Sylvarant region six figures were sitting in the long table they were apparently waiting for someone, the heroes of uniting the two worlds Sheena, Genis, Raine, Zelos, Regal and Presea were sitting in the room waiting for the last member to come. The chosen Zelos after supporting the king with laws that will help the half elves live peacefully and the reconstruction project to help the region of Sylvarant with the destroyed cities caused when the giant Kharlan went tree went out of control, he return to his usual hobby of being a gigolo flirting with every woman that he sees. His fun was cut short when he receive a message from Sheena saying that Lloyd and Colete were gone missing he didn't hesitated to come after all Lloyd and Colete were dear friends and he will never turn his back on his friends. Regal was having another busy day in his company along with his assistant Presea until they receive Sheena's message of Lloyd's and Colete's disappearance, he was of course wearing a black business suit while Presea was wearing a white dress with white shoes.

Suddenly the double doors of the room open they all turn to see the leader of the renegades Yuan entering the room with two renegades soldiers, he got seated and he didn't look like he was quite happy to be called into the meeting that they were about to have.

"Sheena you send me a message to meet all of you here so it better be urgent" Yuan said in a serious tone.

"It is urgent Yuan Lloyd and Colete have disappeared" Sheena said.

"I thought they went to search all of the expsheres and get rid of them have they finish their journey already?"

"No they're gone I have send trackers around the world to search for them and they haven't nothing this is serious"

"We already to the last place they were which we found some footprints of a monster along with theirs I have analyze the footprints and they don't match any of the monsters from the book I have gather data on the monsters whatever it was it must be a new species" Raine said.

Regal didn't like where this was going" are you saying that Lloyd and Colete may have been k….."

"No they are not dead" Genis said quickly.

"If they are missing we have to search for them" Presea said.

"I'm still saying that were making a big deal out of this come on this is Lloyd and Colete were talking about here they've could have defeated that monster and they might be just around the corner" Zelos said.

Sheena slam her hands on the table getting frustrated at his comment" Zelos didn't you hear me I have the best in Mizuho's information network looking for them all over the whole world of Symphonia and they haven't found them nothing, this has never happened before this is serious"

The chosen gulp seeing the glare that the raven haired beauty was giving him sending chills to his spine" easy Sheena were all friends here don't try and bite my head off"

She sighed" I'm sorry Zelos but I'm trying to make a point here if Mizuho's information network hasn't found them then there's the possibility that they are no longer in this world"

"What are you talking about Sheena that's crazy" Genis said.

"We should continued in searching in the last place they were seen all we know is that something serious happened to Lloyd and Colete judging the reaction that Noishe has" Raine said.

"How is he?" Regal said.

"We went to Dirks house and found him under his usual spot he was trembling in fear I hope they are all right" Genis said.

"Dirk is worry sick when we told him" Sheena said.

"We have to search for them no matter what" Presea said.

"I'm with you I will send a search party from Altamira to find them" Regal said.

"I'm in too Lloyd's my bud the same with Colete" Zelos said.

"Were all in this together" Raine said.

"Yeah we'll find them" Genis said.

"If it wasn't for Lloyd we couldn't have never defeated Mithos and reunited the two worlds he and Colete are our friends we won't leave them behind" Sheena said.

"That was a nice speech but unfortunately you're wasting your time"

The group turned to Yuan who has finally decided to talk after entering the meeting room.

"Meaning" Genis said not liking his comment one bit.

"Sheena you said it yourself if Mizuho couldn't find them like you said they are no longer in this world or even in this reality for the matter"

"Were not giving up" Sheena said while the group nodded.

Yuan sighed" listen I was well aware that something happened to Lloyd and Colete before Iselia contacted you"

The group gasp.

"What are you talking about Yuan?" she said her voice becoming hard and serious.

"Do you think I will let someone with a powerful exsphere like Lloyd and the ability to use the eternal sword walk freely without watching him, I've been keeping tabs on him since he reunited the two worlds until recently a few days ago I lost his signal a few miles away from Iselia it was a little closer to the house of salvation in that area" he paused looking at the shock group" the signal vanish leaving no trace of his whereabouts whatsoever"

It was Raine's turn to slam her hands on the table" unbelievable you knew that he went missing all along and you didn't call us we could've started searching for them sooner and save us all this time wasted why didn't you contacted us?"

"Like I said you're wasting your time it's quite possible that during the fight against that monster Lloyd didn't have a choice but to use the eternal sword but he could've make a slight miscalculation"

"What are you talking about?" Genis said with fear in his voice.

"Lloyd hasn't master the eternal sword completely not even Mithos could've done it, my point is that when Lloyd use the eternal sword to kill the monster he could've use the power of time and space disappearing himself along with Colete"

The group was now more shocked they have finally understood the message inside their hearts they have a strong feeling that it was true, no matter how much they wanted to believe it that's how it will explained why Mizuho's information network hasn't found them yet.

Raine was trembling a little the fear of losing her two formal students forever was hunting her mind" Yuan…..are you saying that they could be stranded somewhere in time?"

"They could be anywhere in time or in some kind of new dimension the eternal sword's power is truly infinite Origin made a huge mistake in creating that sword for Mithos, the point is Lloyd and Colete are gone and I think it's better this way with the eternal sword gone there won't be anyone trying to get their hands on it the world can finally be at peace"

Sheena got pissed at his comment" we don't care about that DAMN SWORD we only care about Lloyd and Colete it's always business your main concern Yuan what about your friends?"

"Say whatever you like it won't change the fact that they are gone you can continued your search for them but it will be pointless this meeting is officially over let's go" he told his men and they nodded leaving the room.

"WAIT Yuan" Sheena said following him to the entrance.

The double doors hiss open while the renegade leader stop walking but didn't look at her" what is it now?"

"You really don't care about Lloyd and Colete they help you Yuan Lloyd help the renegades cause it was your mission for the great seed to germinate and he did it he reunited the two worlds and this is how you repay him abandoning him when he needs us the most"

"What do you want me to do go back in time or to another dimension to try and find them just give up face the facts they are gone for good"

Sheena clench her fist while trying to calm down" if you won't do it for them, then please do it for Bota and all of the renegades that die for our cause"

Yuan stood quiet not turning to look back at her and the rest of the group" I'm sorry but I have more important things to do"

"What?"

As things are now Lloyd and Colete are the least of my worries" with that he left the room leaving and dumbfound group behind.

(What is he talking about what could be more important than to find Lloyd and Colete just what are you up to Yuan?)
