Well, here it is guys! The last chapter of this fanfiction! Will Anise and the group finally get back their possessions? Will Dist find them out? Will Largo ever show any actual emotions during this? Lol! Ok, forget the last question! I give you Chapter 7, the final one! Enjoy!

Chapter 7: Result!

Anise had recently sent out a letter to the Colonel asking him for his assistance in the next prank and to bring Tear along with him when he visits so she could be of some help in the prank too. Meanwhile Dist had finally lost it! He was sure someone was pranking him and so he decided it was high time he went and confronted the Commandant in his office. Luckily at the time he burst in Legretta was scolding Sync for failing at the mission he had been sent out to do so they heard everything.

"Legretta, I already explained why I lost track of the ligers! I was trying to get away from them! They were trying to kill me!"

Legretta sighed heavily for the hundredth time that day.

"Sync, for someone of your speed and agility you could have gotten out of hind sight quickly enough; therefore you have no excuse for failing to do what was asked of you"

Sync was surprised at how calm Legretta was being at this moment in time. Was she saving all her anger for someone else who really deserved it? Sync grunted in annoyance and placed his arms against the back of his head.

"I actually wish the ligers had killed me now… You have no sympathy for anyone, do you?"

Legretta was about to say something when the door slammed open to Van's office. Van slowly rose from his desk and as the three God-Generals watched a very annoyed and fuming Dist storm in towards the desk.

"Commandant, I need to talk to you!"

"Dist, this isn't the right time. Could you please come back later?"

Legretta and Sync were surprised at how calm the Commandant was being at this sudden outburst from one of the most annoying God-Generals. Dist stopped at the front desk, slamming his fists down angrily. Sync flinched slightly at the sudden impact.

"I'm afraid this can't wait Commandant! That damn prankster has struck again! I will not rest until the little culprit has been caught!"

Sync gulped quietly whereas Legretta's full attention was caught at the word "prankster". The two of them knew what Dist was referring to… Van sighed, placing a hand to his forehead.

"What have they done now?"

"Oh, a lot of things! They stole my revenge journal and made me look like I was going blind! Everyone hates me now because of it! I want the person apprehended as soon as possible!"

Van sighed heavily and carefully sat back down at his desk again. He clasped both his hands together while resting both his elbows on the table.

"Dist, if you truly believe that there is someone pranking you then I will have two Oracle Knights placed outside your room so that-"

"That's not good enough! I want it to be worse than that! Place cameras around the headquarters so that the person responsible is caught in the act as well as the Oracle Knights!"

Van sighed and turned towards Sync and Legretta.

"What do you two think?"

Sync grunted.

"I'm not having a camera watch my every move around here! Forget it! It feels like it will disrupt my privacy or something!"

"Sync has a point Commandant" Legretta agreed. "It wouldn't feel right being watched by a camera and it wouldn't be fair on the other God Generals either"

"Are you two saying that you were the ones that caused this havoc?"

Legretta's and Sync's eyes narrowed towards the fuming Reaper.

"How dare you accuse us of such a thing!" Sync fumed.

Dist smirked.

"Well Tempest, you do seem like the worthy culprit due to your slyness…"

Sync went to dash forward and tackle the Reaper harshly into the ground; however Legretta held him steady by his wrist.

"That's enough Dist" Van intervened firmly. "Even though what Sync and Legretta have said are true if it will stop you barging into my office about it then so be it"

Sync snarled quietly whereas Legretta sighed heavily. This would disrupt everything…

"So you're telling me that Dist has ordered the Commandant to place security cameras around the Cathedral?" Anise repeated, fuming.

Sync had decided to report the incident in Legretta's stead since she was off sorting out business elsewhere. All the God-Generals involved in the pranking had been brought into Anise's room to discuss the incident with them. None of them were happy about the Commandant's plan. Asch punched the wall angrily.

"Well this is just great! How are we supposed to prank that damn Reaper now without getting caught?"

Everyone was stuck. This had stumped them all completely. Anise knew that Dist would have the cameras placed in every nook and cranny of the cathedral. If they tried to sneak around to get supplies for the prank then they would be spotted easily. There had to be another way! An idea suddenly came to mind in Largo's head.

"Wait, Dist is going to tell us where every camera is going to be placed right?"

"He might because Dist is that stupid, why?" Sync grunted, peeved.

"Well, if we know where every camera is being placed we can cover it up. We need to commit the prank at night rather than during the day. What was the final prank anyway?"

Anise quickly unravelled the list from her pocket and scanned it intently.

"Number 6) Re-wire Dist's hover chair"

"I thought we were getting the Colonel to do that" Arietta stated, confused.

"We still are Arietta" Sync replied with a smirk. "However I get what Largo is trying to say here. If we get the Reaper paranoid by running around in front of the cameras at night then that should get him out of his room. This should give the Necromancer time to slip into Dist's room, re-wire the hover chair and then slip back out again"

"Yeah, that doesn't seem like a bad idea!" Anise agreed.

"Well whatever, as long as the Reaper gets what he deserves then I'm not fussed" Asch added.

"Count me in!" Arietta cried happily.

"Let's work hard to get our possessions back once and for all!" Largo chanted.

And so the plan was formed. As soon as Jade arrived from Grand Chokmah, which was after the cameras would be set in place, the five God-Generals plus Anise would commit the prank under the cover of nightfall. The plan was simply this: Asch, Legretta and Sync were to run around in front of the cameras (knowing full well that Dist would be watching them) and lure him to come out of his room. Arietta, Tear and Largo were to disconnect the cameras placed around Dist's room so that no one knew they had entered and get rid of the two Oracle Knights. Anise would delete all evidence of Legretta, Sync and Asch running around the cathedral. Jade would re-wire Dist's hover chair during that time and then the five of them would return to their rooms and wait until morning for the results. Of course none of them could predict the events that were going to happen next during the run up to and during the actual prank…

Luckily for them, Dist had the control system placed in his room so it would make it easier for them to destroy any evidence (this is what they had originally guessed would happen anyway…); however it was becoming harder and harder for them to communicate about the plan since the cameras had been placed everywhere! (Well except the bathrooms of course. Van had strictly outlawed that one!). Dist was watching their every move, which was making it hard for them to communicate with one another casually. He could hear their conversations as well so they all tried to avoid each other as much as possible. Eventually Asch couldn't take it anymore and so he spoke to Anise outside the cathedral, far away from Dist's cameras, about meeting Jade and Tear at the inn to discuss their plan there. Anise agreed. It would give the group a break from being followed by cameras everywhere!

On the day that Tear and Jade arrived, all the God-Generals (except Van and Dist) waited patiently outside the inn for their arrival. Sync couldn't help but keep looking around paranoid. Largo raised an eyebrow.

"Is there a problem Tempest? You seem a bit on edge"

Sync sighed annoyed.

"Sorry guys, it's just Dist's cameras have got me really paranoid! I keep thinking someone's watching me!"

"I don't blame you Tempest… I feel the same way…" Asch replied, shuddering. "I keep feeling like he's somehow managing to listen on our conversations anyway"

"I made sure Van only kept the cameras to be inside the cathedral and nowhere else" Legretta assured. "Besides, I think Van would have gotten annoyed if Dist had gone as far as that anyway"

"That Reaper is getting very cunning but I swear he is losing his mind over this!" Anise cried.

"I'll be glad when all of this is over; however I will miss pulling the pranks on him…" Sync sighed.

"I agree" Asch agreed. "It definitely is a great pass time from doing work!"

Just then Anise spotted a familiar looking duo approaching them from the docks. It was none other than Tear and Jade. Tear seemed surprised and slightly dumbfounded at the fact nearly all the God-Generals had turned up to greet them. Jade found it amusing but of course he never showed this.

"Well, well, I didn't know that we were expecting a big welcoming party!"

"Save the sarcasm Colonel" Legretta grumbled. "We're not all in the mood for that at the moment"

Jade glanced around at the group suspiciously.

"Hm, where's Saphir? I thought he'd be with you all"

"He's the reason why we are all here instead of at the cathedral" Largo sighed.

"Anise, what the hell is going on here?" Tear pressed.

"If you two book your rooms first then we'll explain to you what the hell is going"

Once Jade and Tear had been booked into the inn, the God-Generals and Anise explained their current dilemma and the events that had occurred that had led up to this. Jade nodded thoughtfully.

"Ah yes, I remember Guy mentioning something about Dist being a pain up the backside. So, let me see if I have got this right. Dist has stolen Largo's, Arietta's, Sync's and your prized possession Anise, correct?"

Anise nodded.

"He has threatened that if you tell anyone superior to you all then he'll make sure they are not given back. Since Dist has made the situation difficult you all plotted to try to make him crack by pranking, with Legretta and Asch working undercover to help you"

"So far you all have pulled off pranks including two which Luke, Guy and Natalia have helped out with" Tear continued. "This has led to Dist becoming so paranoid that he has set up cameras in every nook and cranny of the cathedral in order to catch the culprits. On the list of pranks you've made, this is last prank which you need our help with. And the reason you all are talking to us here is so Dist doesn't get suspicious. Is that everything?"

The group nodded stiffly. Jade placed a hand to his chin thoughtfully.

"Well if this is a chance to get back at Saphir then count me in"

Tear shrugged.

"I might as well help too. It might actually be quite amusing. Plus I have nothing better to do! So, what do we have to do?"

"The Colonel needs to re-wire Dist's hover chair while you help us take out the cameras in Dist's room-"

Once Anise had explained the plan to Tear and Jade, the God-Generals returned to the cathedral along with Jade and Tear as night slowly began to fall over Auldrant. Anise acted as if Jade and Tear were here to visit around the cameras so that Dist didn't get suspicious. After that Arietta and Largo joined the trio in Anise's room to hide from the cameras and wait until everyone was asleep.

When they knew everyone was asleep Asch, Sync and Legretta carefully crept out of their rooms and met each other in the hallway in front of a nearby camera. This branched off into three different corridors. Asch stared at the camera with narrowed eyes.

"That thing is really starting to annoy me!"

"Asch, keep your voice down!" Sync hissed. "We only want Dist to see us remember?"

Asch sighed heavily. Legretta pulled a small map that the Commandant had given her, which showed where each camera had been placed.

"I've marked each corridor with a number between 1 and 10. Asch you take corridors 1, 5 and 7. Sync you take corridors 2, 4, 8 and 10. I'll take corridors 3, 6 and 9. Do you both know where each of those connects to each other?"

They both nodded stiffly.

"Good"

"So what's the plan if Dist catches us?" Sync questioned.

"We'll distract him. For that we will need to meet at corridor 10"

"How can we distract Dist?"

"We'll just say we were chasing an intruder or something" Asch shrugged. "He should buy it I mean he's really stupid anyway! By the way, what's the time?"

Legretta glanced towards her watch.

"Almost midnight, meaning Dist should be checking the cameras right about now. Time to start running around I guess"

"Wait, is that the actual map the Commandant gave you?"

"No, I photocopied it. The other one doesn't have the numbers on it"

Asch nodded understandingly. The small group soon dispersed and dashed off in different directions.

Dist yawned loudly as he sat in front of the small and large screens in front of him along with a keyboard for typing if needed. Sadly for the God-Generals the chair he was sitting in was in fact his hover chair. He chuckled mischievously to himself as he eyed the cameras down each corridor. Each one was in black and white and covered each corridor and room of the cathedral, excluding people's quarters and bathrooms.

"At last, Dist the Rose is always one step ahead! That prankster can't possibly get away with trying to get back at me now! I have all the evidence saved into this system!"

Dist stared at camera 5 as he saw a red blur dashing quickly down the corridor.

"What's this? Is that Asch?"

He glanced at camera 4 to see a green blur dash from camera 4 to camera 6.

"That's the Tempest!"

He then glanced towards camera 9 to find a familiar looking yellow blur pass by at the speed of light.

"And Legretta is there too! What are those three up to? This I must see!"

Dist quickly started up his hover chair and zoomed away out of his room. Anise, Largo, Tear, Arietta and Jade were hiding behind a nearby wall as they watched Dist zoom out of his room towards the staircase.

"Damn it, he's using his hover chair to go after them!" Anise whined.

"Don't worry Anise we can wait until Dist is asleep before the Colonel "fixes" his hover chair" Arietta comforted, chuckling.

"Right, let's go take out those cameras then! We need to delete every last piece of evidence of those three running around the cathedral"

Tear used one of her knives and managed to cut the wires to every camera once Arietta and Largo had told the Oracle Knights to go back to their quarters. Anise infiltrated Dist's room and quickly began deleting every last piece of footage that had them on it or that had Legretta, Sync and Asch on it.

"I say we wait here until Dist has spoken to Legretta, Sync and Asch so we can delete the last of the film" Tear suggested.

Everyone happily agreed. They were dying to see what Dist was going to do to the trio once he caught them…

Asch halted in the middle of corridor 7, breathing heavily. He was tired out from all the running and needed a quick rest.

"Damn it, where is that stupid Reaper? Surely he would have spotted us by now!"

Sync was dashing up into his corridor with Legretta close behind. Asch stared at the two of them confused.

"Aren't you both in the wrong corridor?"

"We need to hurry to corridor 10!" Sync cried as he dashed past Asch. "Reaper has seen us!"

Asch's eyes widened as he quickly followed the duo into corridor 8.

"GET BACK HERE NOW!"

"How the hell is he so fast?" Sync panted.

"He's in his hover chair unfortunately so we are at a bit of a disadvantage" Legretta replied, breathing heavily.

Dist's voice was descending upon the trio quickly as they skidded to a halt in corridor 10.

"What do we tell Dist again?" Asch questioned, breathless.

"That we were chasing an intruder" Legretta replied, huffing. "I am never running this fast again"

"I agree" Sync added. "Wait, perhaps we can escape before Reaper-"

"FOUND YOU!"

Asch and Sync jumped in fright and swirled around along with Legretta to find Dist in his hover chair looking as red as a tomato.

"A bit late for that now Tempest…" Asch mumbled.

"What are you three playing at? Why run around at this time of the night like nutters?"

"We thought there was someone who had intruded into the cathedral so we chased them; however it seems we can't locate where they are" Legretta replied formally, finally regaining her breath.

Dist rolled his eyes.

"Well you could have just come to me and asked if I'd seen anything on my cameras! The only thing I saw was you three being stupid and running around like idiots!"

"Well excuse us for not wanting to be rude and wake you up!" Sync retorted sarcastically. "And besides, you're an idiot anyway so why would we come to you for anything?"

Steam began to come out of Dist's ears.

"Why you little-"

"This isn't the time to be arguing" Asch intervened, calmly.

Dist sighed heavily.

"Yes, I haven't got time to be chasing you misfits around the place… Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go back to bed!"

Dist turned his hover chair around and quickly zoomed off. All three of the God-Generals sighed with relief.

"That was too close!" Asch commented. "But Dist was using his hover chair! How is the Necromancer going to re-wire the hover chair now?"

"He'll think of something" Legretta replied. "The Necromancer isn't stupid. He'll come up with an idea surely"

By the time Dist had returned to his room Anise, Arietta, Largo and Tear had fled back to Anise's room to wait for Jade to return. After placing his hover chair in it's usual place, Dist sighed heavily.

"I swear I work with a bunch of idiots sometimes… I never understand their logic and yet they go and call me the stupid one!"

Dist slowly climbed into bed and pulled the quilt over him.

"Ah well, at least I can catch the prankster if they try anything tonight"

Dist slowly closed his eyes and fell into a somewhat peaceful sleep. Jade quietly emerged from under Dist's bed with a small smirk on his face, holding a pair of pliers.

"You always let your guard down too soon Saphir…"

The next morning everyone gathered outside the cathedral to discuss the events from last night. Sync, Arietta and Anise were creased over laughing.

"So, you're telling me that once Dist had gone to sleep you rigged the hover chair so that it flies backwards instead of forwards?" Sync repeated through bursts of laughter.

Jade nodded satisfied.

"But wait Colonel, how did you get out of there without the camera by the door seeing you?" Anise questioned, confused.

"I deleted any data that showed you fleeing from Dist's room and then cut the camera cord that was placed down by your room. Dist should have had protective shields over those cameras and maybe even a security system to match"

"So what is going to happen when Dist uses his chair?" Tear wondered.

"ARGGGGH!"

"I think that scream might have just answered your question Tear…" Legretta replied.

"Well what are we waiting for?" Asch pressed. "Let's go and see what happened to him!"

Everyone dashed inside eagerly to find Dist flying all over the place like a comet. He smashed through the windows and into the cameras, knocking them either out of focus or off the walls in general. Sync was on the floor rolling about and killing himself with laughter. Arietta looked on amused, trying to follow where Dist was going. Her head was going back and forth as if she was watching a tennis match. Jade had an amused look on his face. Tear seemed slightly worried for Dist's safety and the damage this was causing. Anise was killing herself with laughter too along with Asch. Legretta had a small smirk on her face that was only just visible and as for Largo… Well again he didn't seem to want to react. I'm sure he was laughing on the inside though!

No one had expected this to happen! At last, Dist's chair plummeted into the middle of the entrance floor with a loud bang, causing a very large crash and a big gust of dust to disperse everywhere. Everyone coughed horridly as the smoke finally cleared to reveal Dist sprawled out on the floor with his hover chair resting beside him.

"Is Dist alive?" Tear questioned, concerned.

Largo and Legretta slowly and cautiously approached the Reaper to find any signs of life. Everyone else stayed back for fear of him suddenly attacking them. Suddenly Dist leapt up angrily, causing Legretta and Largo to leap back towards the group in surprise. He turned towards the group with a bright red tomato face.

"WHO DID THIS? WHO RE-WIRED MY HOVER CHAIR?"

Everyone remained silent. Dist's eyes widened when he saw Jade standing amongst the crowd. Jade smirked.

"Who else has the ability to do those things to fonic tech, Saphir?"

A look of realisation suddenly struck Dist's face like a lightning bolt. Dist glanced around at all the God-Generals, trembling slightly.

"Did you assist him?"

The way it came out was quite quiet much to everyone's surprise. Anise bravely stepped forward with a smirk plastered on her face.

"Yes and not just this prank. We've been pulling the others on you too. We wrecked your room, stole your revenge journal, stole your hover chair, hid Legretta's guns in your room and organised your research in a manner for payback but so we didn't get into trouble. The entire time we have been pulling pranks on you. Every single one of us standing here, including Guy, Natalia and Luke"

Dist was frozen with shock. He didn't know what to say. He was absolutely speechless. However once the shock wore off, Dist fell to his knees and began to cry into his lap. Everyone stared at him confused.

"What is it? What do you want from? I'll give you anything, just make all this pranking stop! I'm begging you!"

"Return all the items that you took from everyone and we'll leave you alone" Legretta simply replied.

Dist snarled angrily.

"No way, not in a million years! They are not getting their stuff back after what they just did to me! Forget it!"

Jade rolled up his sleeves and slowly started to walk forward. Dist's eyes widened when he remembered what Jade did to him the last time.

"Alright, alright!"

Dist slowly stood up and opened up a secret compartment in his hover chair.

"Here, take them! Take them! Spare my glamorous soul!"

Dist carelessly threw them to the floor, jumped into his hover chair and sped off as fast as he could. Arietta, Anise, Largo and Sync dashed quickly to the small pile. Sync smirked as he picked up his piece of fonstone carefully.

"At last, I'm glad it hasn't been damaged!"

Largo quickly picked up his locket and hid it in his armour.

(Thank god this came out unharmed!)

Arietta picked up her stuffed doll and hugged it tightly.

"Yes, I have my doll back!"

Finally, Anise placed Tokunaga back on her back and smiled victoriously.

"I'm glad to have you back old friend!"

She turned towards the Colonel and smiled happily.

"Thank you Colonel and Tear for your help"

Jade chuckled.

"No, no Anise we should be thanking you. That is the best fun I have had in years and it was all worth it, just to see Saphir's reaction!"

"I agree, you did the planning and it was fun to see!" Tear agreed, smiling.

"The Necromancer and Oracle Knight are right" Largo added. "You're the one that came up with all the ideas in the first place. If it wasn't for you then we wouldn't have our possessions back!"

All the God-Generals nodded in agreement.

"Yes Anise, we had fun trying to get revenge on that Reaper!" Sync chuckled happily.

"After what he did Dist deserved every single bit of it" Legretta stated.

"Yeah, it was well thought out Tatlin!" Asch smirked.

Arietta hugged Anise tightly.

"Thank you Anise! Thank you!"

Anise laughed and returned the hug.

"I wouldn't have been able to carry it out without your help though! I should be thanking you all!"

Everyone smiled at one another and laughed happily. It's amazing how someone you hate and other people hate bring you together as one, right?

"We so need to do this again!" Sync chuckled.

"I agree" Asch agreed. "This was way too much fun!"

Legretta stared worryingly towards the mess that had been made.

"I'm worried now about how the Commandant is going to react to this…"

"I think we should just leave this for him to find out about!" Anise laughed. "He'll know it was Dist because of the mark in the floor!"

"By the way, where did Dist go?" Arietta asked, confused.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? DIST, WHY ARE YOU CRYING?"

Everyone froze with widened eyes.

"Oh no, that's Van! What do we do?" Sync panicked.

"It's simple" Anise began. "We need to find a ship that is leaving Daath pronto!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and dashed out of the cathedral.

*sniffs* I can't believe this is the final chapter! I guess that is all from me now with this fanfic! Thank you so much to those of you who stuck through with this fanfiction until the end, for reviewing, favouriting and even following it too! Even when I was stuck with writer's block some of you continued to see this story through! *bows* I honestly hope you enjoyed it! I know I enjoyed writing this! XD

If you think that the fun ends here well it doesn't. Dist being pranked has stopped but I am in the middle of creating a Tales of the Abyss Truth and Dare Fic right now. I should hopefully get it posted up either today or tomorrow so please keep an eye out for it! Until next time, as the Japanese say goodbye: Sayonara for now.
