Ok I guess it's time for my actual new idea now hehe. Before was just adding fluff to the original story and a little bit of background to this idea, anyway here we go.

Lloyd stood over his mothers grave, speaking to her. His adoptive father, Dirk, was there with a warm smile on his old face.

"Dad left..." Lloyd started "It was ok that I let him leave wasn't it?"

"You wanted to go with him, didn't ya?" Dirk asked with a twinge of sadness in his voice.

Lloyd chuckled slightly "No. Dad has his path to follow and I have my own." Lloyd turned and smiled at Dirk "Besides I have a dad right here"

The old dwarf smiled once more "Then I wont say anymore"

As the two smiled at each others they heard 2 sets of footsteps heading toward them, one was of an animal and the other was that of a human.

"Hey are you ready?" the young summoner called to Lloyd as she continued to approach them

"Aye lass. Lloyd is ready to go now." he said as his son made his way over to Noishe and Sheena "Now don't forget your Dwarven Vows! Especially number 7!" he called after them

Lloyd stopped and rolled his eyes "Justice and love will always win" he said with a sigh much to the amusement of Dirk and Sheena. "Come on lets go. Bye Dad!" he shouted back to the dwarf as the 3 made their way out from Dirks house.

"So where should we start with this search Lloyd?" Sheena asked as they left the forest that surrounded Dirks home.

"Hmm, I guess we should start at the Iselia ranch. There's probably a lot there." Sheena nodded as the 2 headed towards the Ranch

Sheena looked at Lloyd and blushed a little thinking back to the times they shared. Especially about the night they shared in Meltokio

It had been a while since she had told Lloyd to meet her at the party. There had been some confusion with his suit so he had to go fetch it himself. Just as she was about to leave Lloyd finally made his way up to the balcony where she was waiting.

" ...Lloyd! I...I've been waiting for you!" she said with a slight blush

"Sheena! Wow. You're actually in women's clothes." he said with a laugh

" Wh...What's that supposed to mean!" She almost shouted before regaining her composure "...N...Not that I care or anything."

"Hahaha. Just kidding. It looks good. You're cute!"

She blushed again "Really!...Thanks. I was thinking I kind of stick out here. So I'm really happy to get a compliment."

"So what about me? I think it's not half-bad, if I do say so myself." he said showing of his new clothes

"Ah...Yeah! You look handsome!"

It was now Lloyd's turn to blush "H...hehe, it's kind of embarrassing when you say it straight out..."

Sheena laughed "That's your reaction after acting all cool?"

"No kidding, I just can't seem to pull off the cool thing very well, you know?"

"Well, that's what makes you, you." She said as their eyes met. Sheena felt a sudden urge to kiss him right there.

"Say, are you hungry?" he said shattering her previous thoughts

"Huh?"

"Let's go down and grab something to eat."

"We're...Going back already?" she said with a hint of sadness

"Well, I'm starving. Come on, let's go." he said with his goofy grin

She sighed as she felt her self get angry once more "Stupid Lloyd!"

"Is something wrong Sheena?" he asked as bemused as ever

"It's nothing forget it" Lloyd looked down at the crowd of people who he could tell by just looking at them he had nothing in common.

"On second thought lets stay here a while"

Sheena smiled to herself "I thought you were hungry"

"I am, but have you seen how much foods down there?"

"Yeah, you could feed Mizuho for a whole week with all of this" she said as they both laughed

"I hate this kinda thing"

"Really? I'm sure you'd have to get used to this kinda thing when you become chief of Mizuho"

Sheena sighed "I guess, but I would always try to avoid this kind of thing."

"Hmm. I can understand what you mean. Whenever Phiadra held a dinner for the priests of the temple Collete always invited me and Genis. I know it's not quite the same scale, but I always feel uncomfortable in these situations."

Sheena smiled at him. They had a lot in common. Maybe that's why she liked him so much, but there was something in his eyes that made her heart skip a beat every time she caught his gaze. She sighed contently as she looked into his eyes, getting a very strange look from Lloyd.

"What is it Sheena? Do I have something on my face?" he said as he began rubbing around his mouth

She laughed "It's nothing Lloyd...I just have a great felling about you. Come on we'll get you something to eat" she said heading downstairs.

"Great feeling?" he said to himself before following her.

"What are you thinking about?" Lloyd asked as the two made their way through the gate of the Iselia ranch

"Just about that party in Meltokio"

Lloyd smiled "That was the best cake I ever tasted!"

Sheena laughed "You did eat quite a lot of it" They laughed together as they made their way inside the building.

As they came into the main hall they heard the voices of several people inside. The two looked at each other before drawing their weapons and making there way deeper into the complex.. Lloyd was about to open a door when it suddenly opened and 3 short "Desians" came running out. Pretending to shoot each others

"Hi Lloyd what are you doing here?" one asked taking his helmet off revealing a young boy from Iselia. The two heroes sighed before replacing there weapons.

"You guys shouldn't be playing here it's dangerous!" Lloyd shouted at them

"Well what are you doing here?" the boy asked

"We've come to make sure that there are no more Desians" Sheena answered for him

The boy smiled at Sheena and then back to Lloyd. "Is she your girlfriend?"

Both Lloyd and Sheena turned red and looked away from each other.

"W-Well...W-were..." Lloyd started

"Y-Y-you see..."

"Hey don't change the subject. You're not allowed here. The mayor said so"

"Yeah, but the mayors a..bar...what did you say he was again Lloyd?" the boy asked

"That...er...doesn't matter now. Just get back to Iselia ok?"

The boy sighed "Ok Lloyd if you say so"

The 2 heroes watched as the three boys ran out of the building. Lloyd remembered back to the times in the village when he, Genis and Collete would play games like this.

"Teaching children to swear?" Sheena asked as Lloyd nervously turned around and smiled at her while rubbing the back of his neck

"When it comes to the mayor I have a bit of a short fuse"

"You don't say." she said sarcastically "Come on we better keep going"

The 2 continued to make their way deeper into the complex. Neither of them could shake the idea that the young boy had put into their minds. They both glanced at each other and blushed again before turning away. As Sheena turned she tripped over what seemed to be a brick, but actually opened a secret passage. Lloyd looked at the secret passage in sheer disbelief before shouting out

"Wow cool! Come on Sheena" he said grabbing her hand and leading her into the new passage. Lloyd fired the sorcerers ring into an indent in the wall which opened another door next them. They entered to find a large room with lots of scattered machinery and wires littering it.

"What is this place?" Sheena asked as she rummaged through some of the debris.

"Who's there?" A voice from the dark corner demanded

Lloyd smirked "Tell me your name and I will tell you mine"

"I thought you stopped saying that now" Sheena stated with a slight giggle

"S-Shut up"

"Ahh it is you. How fitting" the voice replied with a laugh.

"Who are you!" Lloyd shouted around the room Something infront of them moved. As a figure slowly made its way toward them. It was still to dark to see who it was

"Lord Forcestus will be pleased that I found you. I will surely become a grand Cardinal this way."

Lloyd and Sheena looked at each other slightly confused "Didn't we find him?" Lloyd asked Sheena before turning toward the figure "Forcestus is dead...so are the other grand Cardinals"

"Hmm. Your lies wont save you know son of Kratos!" the figure said as it moved into the light. It was human, at least partly. Some body parts seemed to have been replaced entirely by magitechnology. It's lower left arm was a simple blade with 3 exspheres imbeded into it. From the looks of his facial features he was half-elf so most likely Desian. It's movements were limited as it was still wired into the building "I am Masyl. Son of Forcestus and rightful heir to this ranch and my fathers title. I will destroy you both!" It shouted before launching it's attack toward the 2.

They easily managed to dodge the attack and draw their weapons in time for it's second attack. Lloyd held his attack as Sheena began to Summon Volt. Masyl had realized this attempt and tried to attack Sheena only for Lloyd to pull him back.

"I call upon the hammer of godly thunder. Come! Volt!"

As soon as the living ball of energy appeared a dark circle surrounded both Lloyd and Masyl. Lloyd quickly used his Guardian technique as the bolts of lightning surged through the body of Masyl.

Lloyd jumped back next to Sheena and laughed "We make one hell of a team Sheena"

She smiled "Yeah we do."

"D-doN't ThINk THIs iS OvER!" Masyl said as he began to pull himself up. He laughed "YOu hAVe nO IDEa whAt YoU HaVE JusT DoNE!" he said as his Blade arm turned into the same weapon his father had. "YoU HavE GiveN me moRe power thAn yOu could eVer compreHend!"

The weapon opened and a large ball of plasma began to fly toward Lloyd. There was no defense for this. All he could do was lift his hands over his face. It felt like an eternity before Lloyd heard the ball hit, but he couldn't feel anything. Opening his eyes he realized he was unscathed, but Sheena lay at his feet, with a large wound to her stomach.

"S-Sheena!" he shouted as he dropped to her side and held her up.

"I...I'm always saving your life, huh?" she struggled to say.

"E-Everything's going to be ok. J-just hold on." he said as tears began to pour from his eyes

She smiled at him and wiped some of his tears away with her hand. "Thank you. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be who I am now if."

"Sheena..." he whispered

"Lloyd I...I have to tell you something..."She began to say as Lloyd shook his head.

"Don't talk Save your strength"

"No I have t-to say this...Lloyd...I...l-l..." she said before she suddenly fell limp in his arms

"S-Sheena" he said as he shook her. "SHEENA!"

"How touching. Even lesser beings feel love" Masyl said as Lloyd stood up.

"Y-you Desians! First you take my mom from me now you take Sheena! I will hunt every last one of you down!" Lloyd shouted

"My my. Big words for a lesser being"

Lloyd suddenly exploded forward and rushed to the mechanical Desian. "TIGER RAGE!" he shouted as he sliced Masyl's body up and across launching the enemy in to the air. "RISING FALCON!" he shouted once again as he jumped up with the enemy before diving toward Masyl and slicing his stomach. Landing behind him Lloyd began running back over to the still falling Masyl "HURRICANE THRUST!" he shouted as his blade sliced through Masyl's body before a gust of wind knocked him down to the ground.

Masyl began getting to his feet in severe pain he looked over to Lloyd who had both his material blades crossed infront of him.

"This is for all the people you Desians have hurt. The people of Sylvarant, my mom and now Sheena." he said as tears began to roll down his cheeks. "I'LL MAKE YOU PAY! FALCON CREST!"

A circle of light surrounded Masyl as he began to get knocked up into the air. After the last hit he was near the roof. As he fell he opened his eyes to see Lloyd standing directly below him. Lloyd jumped towards his enemy and with a finally slash Masyls body fell away from the Magitechnology.

"J-j-just a h-human" Masyl struggled to say to Lloyd before dying at his attackers feet. Lloyd put his swords away and walked over to his fallen comrade. He lifted her up and began carrying her out of the building.

"I'm so sorry Sheena. I...I wish I could have done something for you. I...I wish..." Lloyd said getting an idea. He placed the summoner down and pulled out his material blades again.

"Origin... I-I have something to ask of you." he asked them.

"I am listening swordsman."

"I-Is there...Could you...Can you save Sheena?" he asked with hope in his eyes.

"I can, but life comes at a cost. The only way for this process you must make a sacrifice"

"A sacrifice?" "Your life must become her life. You must give her some of your mana."

"I'll do anything. Please Origin!" he said as he kneeled down beside her.

"Very well, but your lives shall become one. If either she or you die, the other will to"

"Whatever it takes Origin. Please...save her" he stroked her face as tears began to flow from his eyes.

A light began to emit from Lloyd. He suddenly felt weaker as if he had lost half of his life. The light traveled through the air between them before touching Sheenas heart, but nothing happened.

"Origin...it didn't work." he said searching for a pulse

"Patience swordsman. She will awaken soon."

As if on cue Sheena suddenly began breathing again. Lloyd turned back at her and smiled. Slowly she cracked open to see Lloyd crying with Joy.

"Sheena you're alive" he said as he held her tight "Thank you Origin"

"Lloyd, but...how?"

"I've shared my life with you"

"Huh?" she said with a look of confusion on her face

"The Swordsman has split his mana and given half to you summoner. Your lives are no entwined and deepened on one another"

Sheena looked at Lloyd with tears in her eyes "Y-y-you did this for me?" she asked as Lloyd nodded. She threw her arms around Lloyd's neck and hugged him tight. "I...I don't know what to say"

"Just don't do anything that stupid again, ok?"

She smiled at him "I promise..." she thought back to the last moment she remembered and realized what she had to do now.

"Lloyd...I wanted to tell you something...and now seems just as good a time as any." She looked into his eyes and wiped some of his tears away. Before she could speak however she felt a sharp pain where Masyls attack had hit her.

"You're still hurt...Come on I'll take you to Iselia. I think the professor is still there." he said holding his hand out to her. She accepted it and he pulled her up to his side. With a quick whistle Noishe appeared at the gate and ran over to the 2. Lloyd helped Sheena on to the protozoans back and the 2 began to head toward the village.

Sheena looked at him sighed. She had lost the chance to tell him her true feelings. It didn't take long for them to reach Iselia, but unfortunately for them the professor had left with Genis on their journey to help half-elves around the world.

"Man now what are we gonna do?" Lloyd asked

"Why don't you go ask Frank for help?" The guard replied making Lloyd smack himself in the head

"Of course! He'll help you Sheena" Lloyd said as he led Noishe up to Colette's family home.

Well I'll end this here for now. Hope your enjoying please R/R
