Chapter 4, Angel Attack!

"They're from Crimea…" said Kratos

Greil and the rest of the group went where Kratos. Greil was the first to speak, "Kratos is right, these soldiers are from Crimea."

"Does that mean we're too late?" asked Titania

"I don't know." said Greil as he let out a sigh.

Kratos also let out a sigh. He didn't know what was happening. He looked around and said, "We should look around to see if we can find any survivors." Everyone proceeded to look around for any sign of life. "Just what happened? Daein's forces shouldn't have attacked this early." thought Kratos

"Hey, there's a forest a few meters east from here!" yelled Soren

"I'll go check it out." said Oscar

Oscar headed toward the forest. Everyone else continued to search in hopes of finding survivors. They had no luck. It seemed like whoever attacked these soldiers made sure they were dead. A few minutes later Oscar came back and said, "Greil, I found Rhys as well as a girl, knocked out in the middle of the forest."

"You found Rhys and someone else too? Lead the way Oscar."

Oscar led the group to where he found Rhys. Rhys was starting to wake up when he saw the group. Titania helped Rhys stand up when Rhys said, "It's really good to see you guys. I was afraid that I was going to be found by those winged Laguz."

"Winged Laguz?" said Kratos

"Oh, hello there who are you?" asked Rhys

"I'm Kratos Aurion; let me explain why we're here."

A few minutes later

"And that's what happened." finished Kratos

"I see"

"Can you tell us what happened?" asked Greil

"Well I was traveling with these soldiers as well as that girl…"

"She's over here and is sleeping." said Soren

"Anyway, we were headed toward Caldea to find Kratos when we were attacked by these winged Laguz."

"Why were you headed toward Caldea with soldiers?" asked Soren

"The capitol of Crimea was invaded be Daein. These winged Laguz were also there helping Daein's forces. The King sent these soldiers to escort her toward Caldea." said Rhys as he pointed toward the girl.

"Who is she?" asked Titania

Rhys didn't say anything at first. He then said, "She's the daughter of the King."

"I think we should get going. We don't know if the enemy is going to return and look for survivors. As for the princess, since she is still asleep, one of us has to carry her." Said Kratos

"I agree with Kratos, its best that we head back." Said Greil

A few moments later

"Oscar, are you sure you don't need any help carrying her?" asked Rhys

"I'm good. She's actually very light."

The group had already exit the forest and were crossing the battlefield. There was an awful smell staring to emerge from the corpses. Some buzzards were feasting on the bodies; to them it was a giant feast. The group remained silent as they continued to walk. Then out of the corner of his eye, Kratos spotted something familiar on the ground. He walked toward it and picked it up.

It was a feather, a black feather to be precise. "This is very confusing." Greil said. Kratos held the feather in his hand and said, "What's confusing?"

"Well the fact that Laguz helped the Daein forces. Why would they?"

"That's true. Winged Laguz… I can only think of the Hawk tribe and the Raven tribe. And that does not look like any kind of feather that I've seen." said Soren as he pointed at the feather.

"Isn't that just a buzzard feather?" said Titania

"No… it's not a buzzard feather." said Kratos as he noticed the buzzards were leaving in a terrified state. As if they knew danger was coming. Suddenly multiple "winged laguz" appeared out of nowhere. They all had black wings except for one who had white wings. The one with white wings had green colored robes along with a green priest hat. "Well, well, well, looked what I found, a bunch of inferior beings and the traitor. This must be my lucky day."

"Where did these laguz come from?" said Soren

"These aren't laguz, they're angels." said Kratos as he unsheathed his sword.

Back with Lloyd and friends

Lloyd had managed to defeat the Sword Dancer and passed out after the fight. He was carried by Ike and Boyd back to the fort.

Everyone was treated again once they were back. It seems that everyone was fine except for Lloyd. He was still knocked out, even though he was fully healed, and wasn't showing any signs of waking up yet. A few hours later he was still knock out. Everyone was getting worried. Anna had been by his side since she woke. Mist and Sheena were there as well.

"Lloyd, please be ok." thought Anna.

Because everyone was worried, they failed to notice the dark tint that was still on Lloyd's exsphere. Let's see what's happening inside our hero's mind.

Lloyd's Mind

"Uh, where am I?"

"It's about time you woke up."

"Huh, who are you?"

"Are you stupid? Can't you recognize your own self?"

Lloyd took another look at the person. He saw himself. The only difference was that he had blood red, killer eyes and a malicious grin that would make Kvar cry. "Anti-Lloyd" started to chuckle at Lloyd's expression on his face and said, "What's with that stupid look on your face. It looks like you've seen a ghost or something."

"What kind of sick joke is this? Who are you?"

"I don't have a need to lie, I am you." Anti-Lloyd made a sad face and said, "I feel hurt."

"I'm going to take a wild guess and say that were inside my mind and that you're my dark side."

"Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!!!"

"Ok, you didn't have to do that."

"I do as I please; now then I'm here to leave you a warning."

"What is it?"

At this point Lloyd could swear that the temperature dropped at least 50 degrees. Anti-Lloyd started to chuckle evilly and said, "I'll be taking over soon and there's nothing you can do about it. In fact I should dispose of you right now but, it wouldn't be fun to fight you when you're in a pitiful sate."

"As if I'm going to let you take over." Lloyd reached for his blades but found that they weren't there. Anti-Lloyd laughed a bit and said, "Are you looking for these? These blades are rather nice. Besides as long as you have your exsphere on, I'll continue to live. That's how I was born."

"Well then, I'll just take it off."

"I guess you could, but in doing so you'll die, because if I can't live then you can't either. You've been wearing this exsphere for too long. Look at the bright side, at least this isn't happening to our mother."

"That's right, this was her exsphere… WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'OUR' mother?"

"I told you before. I'm you. Hehehehe, I can't wait to take over. I'll be able to slaughter anyone who gets in my way. It'll also give me a chance to play around with that girl who has a crush on us."

"Huh, w-what are you talking about?"

"How can I be so dense? Well at least you are, not me. Anyway I'm talking about that cute brunette named Mist."

Lloyd was shocked. Was it true? He snapped out of it and said, "Even if it is true or a lie, I won't let you have your way. I WILL DEFEAT YOU!"

"Hahahahahahaha, you stop me? Not in a million years! Well I guess times up, Time for you to wake up. Remember, Next time we meet, you'll be the one who stays locked in that exsphere for the rest of eternity and I'll be conquering the world. Hahahahahahaha!!!"

"That won't happen. I will protect my family and friends from you, even if it'll cost me my life, I WILL WIN!"

"Whatever. Just wake up Mr. Hero."

Lloyd suddenly closed his eyes and felt the temperature becoming warmer. He opened his eyes and found himself in a familiar room. He felt his hand was being held by someone. He sat up and said, "Hey mom is dinner ready?"

Timeskip

Lloyd was surprised to find out that everyone had been worried about him. He decided not to say a word about his other self. He figured that this was his battle and the others wouldn't be able to help him. After eating a delicious meal and after a few bone crushing hugs from his mother, Lloyd realized that his favorite Dwarven shirt was nowhere to be seen. He was going to ask his mom when he bumped into Ike and Boyd. "Hey guys, what's up?"

"Hey Lloyd, we're just checking up on you to make sure your alright." said Ike

"I'm feeling a lot better after that meal, but I think I'm going to take it easy for a while."

Just then Rolf came and asked, "Hey Lloyd. Is it true?"

"What's true?"

"That you defeated that monster with a huge blast!"

"You know, I'm kind of curious. What was that technique?" asked Boyd

Lloyd closed his eyes and thought, "That's right. I forgot that I used my Mystic Arte. Well I might as well explain."

He opened his eyes and said, "Yeah, I did. But I haven't mastered my Mystic Arte. So that is one of the reasons why I fell unconscious after the move."

"Mystic Arte?" said Boyd

"Yup, it is a special technique that is usually used as the final blow or in some cases it is a way to inflict massive damage to an enemy."

"I see, so would it be possible to learn it?" said Ike

"I guess it would be possible, but mine would require for you to fight with dual blades. You can develop your own unique Mystic Arte though."

"Really how?" asked Boyd

"Same way you learned how to use a weapon, by practicing. When you practice you sort of tend to come up with different attack patterns right?"

The trio nodded their heads

"Well it's basically the same thing. You just need to imagine a situation where you would need that technique. That's how I came up with mine. Mine damages the enemy and anything else near me. So I imagined a situation where I was outnumbered."

"Ok! I'm going to go train with my bow now and come up with a cool Mystic Arte before Boyd or Ike does." said Rolf as he ran to train.

"Hey come back here, I'll be the one to get it first!" said Boyd as he ran after him.

"Lloyd, do you know any Burst Artes?"

Lloyd eyes widened. He really wasn't expecting this. "You know a Burst Arte, Ike?"

"Yeah, I learned it from my father the other day. So I'm guessing I'm closer to developing a Mystic Arte?" said Ike with a grin

"Well, yeah. You are closer. That's cool; I don't even have a Burst Arte. We defiantly have to spar sometime." said Lloyd with his trademark grin.

"Well I'll see you later" said Ike as he left to train.

"Things are starting to get interesting. Oh yeah where's my Dwarven shirt?"

Lloyd proceeded to continue his quest to find his lost shirt. He looked everywhere for it but couldn't find it. He decided to go ask his mom, which he should have done in the first place. He was about to open the door when he heard some giggling? He heard three female voices in there. "Crap, Mom and Sheena are probably having their catching up talk but why is Mist in there? Why is she giggling? Her giggle sounds beautiful… WAIT, WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?"

"HAHAHAHA, this is hilarious. You know what you were thinking, Mr. Hero."

"What the…?"

"Surprised? Well it seems that I can talk to you by just thinking. Well at least I'll stop being bored for a while. Now hurry up and go in. They might be talking about us."

"What!? No they wouldn't so why am I worried... Damn it I have to make sure." thought Lloyd as he opened the door.

Everyone stared at the door that just opened. Lloyd rubbed the back of his head and gave out a nervous "hi" He then looked through the room and made eye contact with everyone. "Crap! Kratos must have taught him the special Aurion eye contact technique. I have to keep myself from making sudden movements with my eyes or he'll find out." thought Anna.

"If I remember my ninja training, I must not hesitate to answer and I have to keep eye contact, or else he'll see that I'm lying." thought Sheena.

"Well so far mom and Sheena have passed the eye technique."

"I bet you anything that Mist will turn red and turn her head to face something else."

"Will you leave me alone if you're wrong?"

"On my honor, I promise you that I'll leave you alone. But if she does I'll be expecting our fight sooner, besides if she does that'll just prove my point to you Mr. Hero."

"You're on!"

Lloyd proceeded with his test. At first it seemed like Anti-Lloyd was wrong, but because of the interference by a certain author, Mist turned red and turned around to hide her blush. Lloyd was shocked. He heard his other side laughing like a maniac saying that he was right and that his point was proven. Lloyd soon started to think of "random things" and quickly turned around to hide his own blush. Anna and Sheena realized what happened and found it hard to suppress their laughter. Anna was able to get over it rather quickly and said, "Lloyd, do you need anything?"

"Hey idiot, mom's calling you. Just get your stupid Dwarven shirt and think about it later you jackhole."

"Jackhole?, what's that?"

"SHUT UP AND ANSWER ALREADY!"

"Geez, you don't have to yell you bastard."

Lloyd turned around and said, "Well, I was wondering where my Dwarven shirt was."

"I have it, but I can't give it to you."

"Why not?"

"It's torn; I have to sew it back together."

"Aw man, that was my favorite shirt."

"I found something else you could wear, but it wouldn't match the rest of your outfit."

"So I'm going to change my whole outfit. Ok, where is it?"

"It's in that back room." said Anna as she pointed toward a door in the room.

Lloyd went to the room and found a bag. He opened and was shocked to find the contents of the bag. He rubbed his eyes three times and even pinched himself to see if he wasn't dreaming. "What are these doing here? I thought dad had gotten rid of them. I guess mom decided to keep these safe. This is… COOL! I've always wanted to wear these."

"Finally, we get appropriate clothes instead of those red things you call clothes."

Lloyd paid no attention to his other self and quickly tried them on. To his surprise they fit perfectly… well the sleeves were a little long but I didn't matter. Lloyd opened the door and said, "So, how do I look?"

"Just as I thought, you're as handsome as your father."

"Hmm, not bad Lloyd, at least you got rid of that red eye-sore."

"Hey! Those clothes where comfortable at least!"

"Are these even more comfortable?"

Lloyd frowned and said, "Yes"

"I rest my case."

"I-I h-have to agree with Sheena, sorry L-Lloyd" said a very red Mist.

"Well I guess I can comprehend why. It had a lot of red didn't it?"

Lloyd gained the title of "Judgment"

"Huh? Who said that?"

"Who said what son?"

"Never mind"

Just then a bright light shined through the window. They all ran and took a look outside. Even though it was far away, the light was just as bright. That bright light brought back memories to Anna and Lloyd. They remembered that attack. "That's Dad's attack, Judgment." Lloyd whispered to himself. But a certain Brunette was close enough to hear him.

A few moments before

"What do you mean Angels? Angels don't exist." said Soren

"Believe what you will, the point is that they are the ones responsible for these deaths."

"Kratos is right, Angels or not they are the enemy." said Greil as he readied his Axe

Soren looked at the leader of the Angels and said, "Just who the hell are you?"

"Foolish inferior being, I am Remiel and I'm a High Angel of Cruxis. Under the orders of Lord Yggdrasill, you are all to receive the Judgment of the Goddess Martel, and that is Death."

While Remiel was busy talking, Kratos and the others began to attack. Oscar was instructed to get Rhys and Elincia back to the fort safely. An angered Remiel yelled, "You fools think you can get away? Take this!" as he took out his bow and launched an arrow to go for the kill. The arrow was stopped in its flight when someone yelled, "Lightning" The unknown figure made his presence known. Kratos let out a sigh and thought, "Good old Yuan. Thanks to him Oscar can get back safely."

Kratos looked at the other mercenaries and said, "Don't worry, I know who he is." The others nodded and proceeded to fight.

Soren blasted the angels with his strongest wind attack. Titania and Greil teamed up and took care of another chunk of the angels.

Yuan made his way to Kratos. Both of them stood back to back as Kratos said, "Nice of you to drop by."

"Well I can't let you have all the fun."

"By the way, what's with the Renegade suit?"

"I brought it along to hide my Identity from the angels. I just glad I made it in time. I didn't think Yggdrasill would send Remiel of all people to find you."

"So he's finally realized where I've been?" said Kratos as he slashed another Angel

"Yeah, took him quite a while to realize you were here." said Yuan as he sliced and diced

Kratos and Yuan continued to defeat countless angels that kept coming. Finally it seemed that the numbers were starting to decrease. Yuan then said, "Kratos go take care of Remiel I'll handle the rest of these angels." Kratos nodded and proceeded to face Remiel. Yuan faced the other angels and smirked. "Ok you lifeless losers I'm your opponent and that means that your fates have been sealed."

One of the angel commanders spoke in a monotone voice, "What do you mean, you will die here in the name of Lord Yggdrasill." The commander charged at Yuan. The rest of the angels soon followed. Yuan smirked and said, "Fool if you had paid attention you would had noticed the strong magic aura around me, I've been saving up mana since I got here." Yuan ran toward the group of angels and jumped up. As he slammed his weapon into the ground he yelled, "It's over, Thunder Explosion" The surrounding angels were blasted to oblivion.

"Well, I'm glad that's done with, now I could use a cup of cider."

Remiel was sweating. YES Remiel was actually sweating. He couldn't believe that his "superior" angel army was losing.

He decided to retreat but was blocked by our favorite Seraphim. "Where do you think you're going Remiel?"

"K-Kratos, well you've saved me the trouble of finding you. Now I'll take you down and become one of the Four Seraphim."

"Whatever, I never really wanted to be one anyways."

Boss Battle: Kratos vs. Remiel

(Boss Battle Theme: Tales of Symphonia OST – Beat the Angel)

"I'll show you the wrath of the Goddess Martel!"

"I don't think Martel approves of this violence, I should know."

"SHUT UP, WHAT DO YOU KNOW?"

"More than you can imagine" said Kratos as he dashed toward Remiel attempting to slash him. Remiel moved back and fired his bow. Kratos sliced all of the arrows and side stepped dodged one of them. Remiel growled and launched even more arrows.

Kratos dodged all of them except for one which grazed him on his right cheek. Kratos smirked and said, "At least I know you can hit something when you try, or was that the full extent of you skill. If it is, it's depressing."

"How dare you make fun of me, let's see you dodge this Photon."

The yellow blast hit Kratos. He looked at Remiel and said, "So you have skill in light magic, I guess that's impressing."

"That was nothing; now try to dodge this, Angel Feathers." White colored feathers flew toward Kratos. Kratos raised hi shield to block the attack. Remiel smirked and said, "I knew you would block so I'll just change my attacks direction." Remiel moved his hand and made the feathers go around the shield. Now it was Kratos' turn to smirk.

Before the feathers could hit him, Kratos yelled, "Guardian"

A greenish protective barrier surrounded Kratos and Remiel's attack bounced off the barrier. Remiel's eyes widened at his failed attack. "I knew you would change the direction of the attack if I blocked with my shield. You're too easy to read Remiel."

Kratos gathered up some mana and said, "Take this, Grave"

Multiple stalagmites rose from the ground. Remiel dodged all but one that impaled his left wing. Remiel gave out a cry in pain as he released his wing from the rock. Remiel looked at Kratos with pure hatred. How could this fool get the best of him? He decided to blast Kratos with his best attack.

"I WILL KILL YOU KRATOS" Remiel raised his hand in the air and gathered mana. He released it as he cried, "Judgment Ray"

Multiple rays of light crashed down and blasted Kratos. Remiel started to laugh and said, "How was that? Now you're as good as dead inferior being." He continued to laugh but, his laughter was cut short when he heard our hero's voice: "I have to admit that was a very good attack. It could have killed me. Luckily it's still at a pre-mature state."

Remiel saw that Kratos was still standing with only a few cuts on his body. His eyes widened when he saw the sapphire wings on his back. He also notices the glare Kratos was giving him. For the first time in his life, Remiel was afraid.

"S-Stay away f-from m-me!" cried Remiel

"You should have never come here. Now that I'm rather vexed, I don't feel merciful anymore."

Instantly Kratos disappeared from his sight. Then he felt a cold sharp blade right through his shoulder. Kratos kicked Remiel off his blade. Kratos stared at Remiel's expression. "Let me show you the damage it would have done if your attack was mastered."

Kratos' mana radiated throughout his whole body.

"Sacred Powers, Cast Your Purifying Light Upon These Corrupted Souls, Rest in Peace Sinners…"

Kratos turned around and sheathed his sword. As he was walking toward Yuan he cast his attack. "Judgment"

A grand beam of light crashed down behind Kratos. All you could hear was Remiel's screams. Kratos' attack also got rid of any other angels that were still there. The other Mercenaries were baffled when a light beam came out of nowhere and defeated the remaining enemies.

Kratos found Yuan sitting on a nearby rock and was drinking a bottle of cider. Yuan looked at Kratos and said, "Don't you think that was a little overkill?"

"No, I really didn't like Remiel. He was annoying. Besides at the last minute I lowered the damage done. He will live, but if he doesn't get any medical attention quick he will bleed to death."

"Oh" was all Yuan as he coolly drank his cider

"Where did you get that bottle of cider?" asked Kratos

Yuan stopped drinking and said, "You know, now that I think about it, I don't know where this came from."

They both laughed and decided to meet up with the other mercenaries so that they could go back the fort. Kratos found Greil and said, "So I guess this means Mission Complete."

"Yeah, let's head home. I'm kind of hungry." said Greil

Soon they found themselves near the fort. Throughout the whole trip, Yuan was thinking, "Seriously, where the hell did I get a bottle of cider?"

Back at the battlefield

A bright light crashed on the ground and two figures were shown after the light died out. Both figures went towards Remiel's dying body. One of the figures said, "You've failed Remiel."

"L-Lady P-Pronyma, p-please h-help m-me…"

"I'm afraid that if I did, Lord Yggdrasill would have my head. Lord Yggdrasill sent us to confirm if you had been defeated. Since you have, Lord Yggdrasill has sent YOUR replacement on his first mission, to finish you off."

"W-What…"

Remiel was able to look at the other person. He was wearing full body Black Armor along with a long black cape. He looked down on Remiel and said, "The last thing you will see in this life is my blade, Alondite." The Black Knight raised Alondite and brought it down…

Rodyle's Ranch

A desian quickly ran into the main control room. Rodyle turn around and said, "What is it?"

"Sir, the preparations for PROJECT: ULTIMATE has been completed."

"Hehehehe, tell the others to be ready to deploy PROJECT: ULTIMATE on Tellius soon. Also give the order to get started on PROJECT: OMEGA."

"Yes sir!"

The desian left the room. Rodyle started to laugh. "HAHAHAHA, even if the Mana Cannon fails, PROJECTS: ULTIMATE and OMEGA will insure my victory!"

Sharingandude: And stop right there.

Anna: So, what's Rodyle planning?

Mist: I bet it's something freaky, like him.

Sharingandude: I agree.

Sheena: Lloyd's outfit FINALLY changed.

Lloyd: Hey! Why do you hate my old out fit so much!

Sharingandude: Quit yelling!

Lloyd: But…

Kratos: sigh

Sheena: Hey next time hurry up with the update!

Lloyd: Well that's one thing we agree on.

Sharingandude: Hey, school work was killing me! Anyway, I'll try to write faster this time.

Mist: Don't forget to review on your way out, or else we'll have to feed Lloyd Tomatoes.

Lloyd: WHAT!

Sharingandude: That's all for now. Ja Ne
