    (Music playing - Ginnugaggap, rip in the world/ Tales of Symphonia 2)Download

    *Everybody walked inside the Tardis and Kaolla took out a mana producing generator she had from one of the labs from the renegade base, and had help from some of Lloyd's friends and sat it on the front of the vault of the Ginugaggap. Zelos, Collet, Flonne, Shinobu, and Naymo tended to John as he sat on the floor with some futons, pillows and with a medical kit in handy. Alice on the other hand was in one of the lower levels of the Tardis in a portable cell chained to the wall. Kay helped activate the portable mana generator.*

    Kay= This is brilliant Kaolla. But I dont know how long it's fuel supply will last.

    Kaolla= It's fine. I also have 2 more to move in. If one should run out of fuel, the other one will automaticly start up.

    Ricter= Who are you child? You seem to know about mana, magic, and science.

    Regal= She helped us get this far to help everyone.

    Ricter= I see.

    Yuan= We got to get going.

    *Everyone regrouped in the Tardis. Now everyone was ready to depart, and the Tardis dematerialized and teleported back to the outside world. They were in midair right now. Inside the Tardis.....*

    (Music changes to - Hell's whisper/ Disgaea)Download

    Kaolla= Everyone, welcome to our Tardis. Like it?

    Lloyd= Incredable! All this room and stuff. It's like another world inside.

    Etna= Woah, even I am impressed.

    Emill= What are we going to do now?

    Yuan= Take me to the world tree first. I have some unfinished buisiness I need to atend. Lloyd, you come with me too.

    Kaolla= Ok, I will fly over the location of the world tree. I can use that transporter to drop you off fast.

    Shinobu= You two be carefull ok?

    Lloyd= I will be fine Shinobu.

    Yuan= Thanks child. We will be fine.

    Nyamo= Were so sorry that you had to go so far for us, and helping us get John back.

    Etna= He sure was a handfull. I also need to take Alice to the netherworld so she can stand trial for what she's done.

    Raine= We have to do Kratos his favor first ok Etna?

    Emill= What about the rest of the Black Circle?

    Genis= We will deal with them later.

    Lloyd= Ok Raine. This is where Yuan and I drop off. You and Emill are in charge, and whoever.

    *Lloyd and Yuan drop off by standing in the teleporter and was teleported to the world tree. Yuan and Lloyd left the party.*

    Kratos= Ok Kaolla. Can you fly us to Hemidall in this?

    Kaolla= Just watch me. Here we go!

    (Music changes to - Serenade of the elves/ Tales of Symphonia)Download

    *The Tardis flew to the direction of thick forests which Hemidall was supposed to be located. and now the Tardis materialized in Hemidall. Now everyone stayed in the Tardis while Kratos, Raine, Regal, Zelos, Emill, Marta, and Collet helped bring out John to meet the elven elder.*

    Elder elf= I see. So this is supposed to be the new age chosen. He looks exausted.

    Kratos= Is it ok if we take him to the elven hospital facility?

    Raine= John had put up a serious fight in the Giugaggap and is probably tired from all the fighting he did. You have no idea how much trouble we went through to defeat him and get that rune crest on him.

    Elder elf= Very well. He will be provided with medicine of our people. It's very effective on humans as well.

    *John was moved to the medical hutt and was put in a bed and was dressed up in elven paitent robes and he went to sleep.*

    Elf nurse= He needs rest. The elder will see you now.

    Regal= Thank you so much.

    Emill= What about those clothes John had on?

    Marta= Who cares!? We should throw these away! It was Alice who picked them out and dressed him up in it.

    John= Are you Marta....Are you Emill....Regal..Raine.

    Elf nurse= You must not talk, get some rest.

    John= I just want to tell them.....

    Marta= Are you ok John?

    John= Thank you for what you did for me. Thanks for helping me recover my memory. If it wasnt for you all for going through all of that trouble, I would be beyond help.....ooohhh...ahhh..

    Elf nurse= That's enough. You take this medicine.

    John= It looks different.

    Elf nurse= Take it.

    *John took the medicine, a nectar looking thick potion that actually tasted pleasent and John instantly fell asleep.*

    Raine= That worked instantly? Wow, that's impressive.

    *Everyone went back to the elder's house*

    Kratos= Sorry for the delay. John wanted to thank us for what we did.

    Elder elf= I see. Now we must get right to business....Although you were able to restore his memory...that fowl device may be still active, and we dont know what it would do. We want you to take him to the temple in Iselia, and he must be accompanied by the chosens only. This task he must do allone, thus he will be taken a trial. I arranged instructions for Lloyd Irving and Yuan Ka-fay to discuss this with their world tree spirits. They will inform you later in due time. You all need to get some rest. You can also buy supplies and eat here if you like. Take a one day rest and spend the night. You all worked hard.

    *Everyone stayed in Hemidall and had elven made foods and even baithed in their rivers, They all taken a good rest. The demons stayed in the Tardis to avoid suspision and to keep an eye on Alice who is being held prisoner. ....meanwhile that night. Meanwhile.....in the netherworld.....the Dalek pilgramage ...... the Daleks had a meeting about the defeat of the Black Circle in Flanoir.*

    (Music changes to - Dalek silence/ Doctor who, the dalek conquests)Download

    Dalek 1= The black circle base in Flanoir has fallen. All primary connections with the base has sieced.

    Dalek 2= All units have been lost and the units of the science branch had been uprehanded and the centurion cores collected had been stolen.

    Supreme Dalek Blue= This is unacceptable! Supreme Dalek Red will not accept this failure. Contact the black circle base in Triet, immediately.

    Dalek 2= I obey.

    Dalek 3= We have established communications in the base in Triet.

    Magnar (radio)= This is Magnar speaking for Alice. What do you need of us my masters?

    Supreme Dalek Blue= Where is Alice! She needs to explain the fall of Flanoir.

    Magnar (radio)= She left when she dropped us back here and went looking for the new age chosen. We havent heard from her sense. Even Decus is getting worried.

    Supreme Dalek Blue= Alice must be found, and we are still one elemental temple short. Explain.

    Magnar (radio)= When we escaped the base, Alice had us to set bombs in the castles but the bombs were deactivated somehow and Alice got mad and threw a fit. She dropped John off to seal the final, but he hasnt been back either.

    Supreme Dalek Blue= Change of plans. We have enough mana spheres set out to salvage the mana required. You must stay hidden until reinforcements arrive.

    Magnar (radio)= Yes sir.

    *Communications were deactivated*

    Supreme Dalek Blue= Dispatch a new Black Circle group to regroup with the ones in the renegade base in Triet. Order the new Black Circle to kill the Symphonian Black Circle group! They have failed! The Dalek counsol and the Black Circle will not tollerate mistakes!

    Dalek 3= I obey! All netherworld Black Circle units are to report to the renegade base in Triet. Kill all Symphonian team members of the Black Circle. They have failed. Failures are to be found and EX-TER-MIN-AT-ED!

    Supreme Dalek Blue= I will contact Supreme Dalek Red and check on progress in the new mana cannon.

    *The next day in Hemidall, Everyone was ready to go, but before then,.... John got back up and got dressed. John was still wearing the outfit that Alice have gaven him. Although he was in a state of depression, the feeling that Alice used him for her benifits and himself thinking that he had memories uploaded into him about himself, Alice and Decus in a past life was false memories. John still felt better than ever now he was cured of her control. John was met by Collet and Zelos.*

    Zelos= Your still wearing that get up?

    Collet= We can find you something better to wear.

    John= It's ok. You guys done enough for me. And I thank you for it. I hope you can bare me wearing this just a bit longer.

    Zelos= Yeah, Lloyd has this thing he's setting up. Some sort of test for you.

    John= A test?

    Collet= Im not to sure. But were told that were going to Iselia. My home and we were supposed to go with you.

    Zelos= I just dont get Lloyd sometimes, but he's my bud afterall. How on the world does that a key crest makes someone so strong? Is the cruxis crystal in you doing that or something?

    John= Im not sure if im the right person to answer that. I have no idea about this thing. I dont even know where this even came from.

    Zelos= Some girl named Kay told me that she heard of a story about that crest you have on. Something that was on board Derris Kharlan and was .....well, I forgot. Something about an artifical chosen experiment.

    Collet= Well, dont let it keep you down.

    Zelos= Another thing, after this test....well....are you going to fix all of those temples you sealed away?

    John= I almost forgot. I need to take out those mana spheres. They drain mana from this world. It's my fault these things happened.

    Zelos= It's not your fault. You shouldnt blame yourself for others mistakes. That Alice,.... she threatened my sister, Selis. She had her stupid lap puppy Decus impersonating Lloyd to kidnap her to exchange for my cruxis crystal.

    Collet= Alice even tried to hurt Marta when she tried to save a little boy and she was about to fall off a cliff in Asgard.

    John= I cant believe it.

    Marta= Were almost ready everyone. John, your still wearing that? I know it's tough to get over this but... some time later, your gonna have to find something new to wear. And ditch that creepy outfit.

    *Later....Kaolla dropped off Zelos, Collet, and John at Iselia. The Tardis left immediately*

    (Music chanes to - Old familiar scent Iselia/ Tales of Symphonia)Download

    John= What's Kaolla doing? Where she going?

    Zelos= She has some errands for that Kay girl. Strange, I never heard of a reploid before.

    John= Oh,...reploids. I know allot about them. There robot like androids. They act like people, but....they can't age.

    Collet= I see. Oh, we should show John arround Iselia first.

    John= This is Iselia?

    Zelos= Yep. It's home to my bud, Lloyd. And Collet, Genis, and Raine.

    John= This reminds me of a small clavat town when me and Kaolla were in another dimenson.

    Collet= For an angel, Etna can get really pushy.

    John= She used to be a demon. I believe even demons are capable of good deeds.

    Zelos= You sure are strange.

    *Collet showed John arround the town.*

    (Music changed to - Collet/ Tales of Symphonia)Download

    John= I see. So the desians attacked this place during your world regeneration. And that temple due to the south is the temple. Hmmmm, I never heard the Daleks mensoning about this temple. I was ordered to raid the elemental temples.

    Collet= Ohhhh those Daleks! How could they!?

    Zelos= By the way, what exactly are these Daleks.

    John= They are a race of hate and bitterness and they come from another dimenson. They only seek power to satisfy themselves in order to become the domanate race inthe universe. I seen Daleks do damage before. They subjugate people and trick them to do some work for them. They can even enslave others for labor and construction. They have no remorse for other life forms, even when it comes to their kind, dominance and power are their only goals and they will even kill their own kind if they fail orders.

    Collet= How horrible.

    Zelos= Oh shoot. Look at the time. We better get going to the temple of Martell right now. Lloyd dosent want any of us to slack off. Ok John, it's time to take your test and learn to become a real chosen. Like me and Collet.

    *John, Zelos, and Collet walk to the road to the temple. They meet Dirk allong the way.*

    Dirk= Zelos. Collet. So good to see you again. I havent seen you since you been in that netherworld.....who is this?

    Collet= Mr. Dirk. This is John. This is the guy who was being used by Alice and the Daleks. We saved him.

    Zelos= He was a tough opponent, but we sucseeded. We also manage to capture Alice as well.

    Dirk= I see. Is it safe?

    Collet= It sure is. John is fine now. The elves helped us too.

    Dirk= Goodness me. Well John, Welcome to the retaliation team. Im Dirk. Im Lloyds.....foster father.

    John= Nice to meet you too Dirk. I wish I can come over to your house sometime but I gotta go.

    Zelos= Sorry to jet so soon but we have an apprentice to train. See ya.

    Collet= Apprentice?

    John= He meant me.

    *They reach the temple. Inside the temple....*

    (Music changes to - Search a seal, Sylverant/ Tales of Symphonia)Download

    Zelos= Here we are. Now Lloyd wants us to take John to find this ring, and go to where we met that summon spirit below. He also said John must solve the devices by himself. Why cant we help?

    Collet= Zelos! Now you know we cant help John cheat! Besides, this place is where we began our adventure and where we helped Emill when he couldnt control his rage mode.

    John= Ok guys, I never been here before. I think I may need alittle guidence.

    Zelos= Go right first. We need to get that specal ring.

    Collet= Oh I know, the scorcerers ring.

    Zelos= Not this time. There's a specal ring but not that ring. It's part of the test for John. Lloyd told us not to tell him untill he's found it.

    John= I see, so it's a type of currage test?

    Zelos= I cant tell you.

    *They all went down the stairs to the board chamber. When they decended to the stairs, they seen a block color coded, and then Zelos said...*

    Zelos= John has to do this on his own. Collet, you stay here with me. John, she's all yours.

    *John walked to the board and looked at the color of the block. John looked at the board and noticeses that the square holes have different color patterns on them. John had green, so John pushed the block to the green hole. Then after the block was fitted, another block appeared, but this time a different color. John kept repeating every step but when it came to the part that after he dropped a blue block, no more fell. John went down the stairs and found some blocks he dropped earlier and pushed them to the edge where it could fit as a platform. After fitting all the gaps, John was ale to access the satairways and pick up puzzle pieces from the treasure chests, bu in the other staircase, he found a table with a ring on it. John picked up the ring and headed back to Zelos and Collet.*

    John= Got them! I got these 6 strange puzzle pieces plus this ring.

    Collet= Can we tell him about that ring now?

    Zelos= That's a specal ring. It's called the test ring. It's a part of the test. Go on and put it on. Those blocks you have are pieces you need for the next part of the test. Now we go back upstairs and this time we take the center stairway.

    *They return to the lobby and go to the upper staircase. They find an altar chamber with an altar. There was a reaction to the ring when John stepped into the teleporter. John grabbed the 7th puzzle piece and returned.*

    Collet= You got it?

    John= Yes I did.

    Collet= We go to the left this time.

    *John followed them to the other stairway and traveled to the lower part of the temple. John came across a wall with block holes.*

    John= This wall has a big square in the middle. I bet these puzzle pieces are supposed to fit. I better get started assembling this.

    *John began to assembe the blocks and trying to fit the right pieces to make a square frame block. John finally assembled the stone blocks hole and fitted it into the hole. Then the stone wall moved and the three proceeded. Finnaly they made it to the last room where there was a second altar. Then the summon spirit appeared. It was Verius the summon spirit of heart. He looked like a prisim colored fox with multiple tails.*

    (Music changes to - Legend of symphonia/ Tales of Symphonia 2)Download

    Verius= John, do you know why you are here?

    John= Im supposed to take this test?

    Verius= It's a specal test that you are to amend from the deeds you did with the half-elf Alice and the aliens. Although your actions were not your fault. But I can see it in your heart. You wish to undo what you did. As they way you are now, even being very powerful by unatural meanings, you cannot dispell the barriers you created. And this so called "Sadist mode", a psyche similar to Emill when he was going into Ratatosk mode, is a very dangerous device. Congradulations, you have passed the test.

    John= That was all it?

    Verius= I can read your heart. You also want to help these people regain the temples as well as helping Alice with hers. You also want to know about her dealings with the Daleks.

    Zelos= What!?

    Collet= Why John?

    John= I need to know. How did they get Alice into this? I know she died before but...I also want to try and find a way to get her life started again. Make her better, allong with Rodyle, and the other 4...

    Collet= Rodyle!?

    Zelos= That creepy guy?

    Verius= Paitence chosens! John has similarities to Lloyd. But as for you John, even though you want to help these people reddem themselves, I recomend caution. As you have become now, they are still part of the black circle, and they will no longer regconise you as a friend. This will not guarantee that you can save them from themselves although you wish to save them all. I hope you realize this. Oh and the ring you have on... the test ring. Since you passed, it now needs to be taken to the world tree. Go there now. And claim your new powers. These powers will give you the ability to break barriers and resist this fatal energy weapons these creatures possess. And once you grant your reward, you will no longer go into this mode, and you will loose some of that serious power. I hope you are willing to accept that.

    John= I accept.

    Verius= Then it's settled. Go to the new world tree now. Good luck.

    Zelos= Let's go. I got some specal Reihards Kratos gave us.

    *Later......They flew the reihards to the new world tree. All of the people were there and even Etna and Flonne were there and Marta and Emill looked as they gathered in a ceremony as the way they were linned up. Kay was there too allong with Phenox.*

    (Music playing - Harvest in sainctuary/ Tales of Symphonia 2)Download

    Zelos= I got him here. He's passed.

    Collet= He did great!

    John= Wow, look at this place. So this is the world tree.

    Yuan= Now for the final ceremony to begin. Lloyd, are you ready to anaylst your pact with Martell?

    Lloyd= I am. I will summon her.

    Zelos= Lloyd, you dont mean!?

    Collet= He's doing this for John. He's the only one who can save this world and the netherworld from the Daleks.

    *John also seen Kratos and Ricter keeping Alice restrained as witness to watch her fowl actions against John's will undone.*

    Kratos= Don't mind us, just walk to Lloyd.

    Kaolla= Way to go John!! YAY!!

    Lamington= What a lovely place. Reminds me of Celestria.

    John= I passed Lloyd.

    Lloyd= I summoned her. Now you stand here. Now.... John, I like for you to meet someone. Let her talk to you.

    *Lloyd backed away and John was there in front of a summon spirit. She stood there with green hair and wore white and green similar to tree leaves and looked also a bit like a chosen. It was none other than Martell herself standing in front of John.*

    Martell= John..... I heard all from Lloyd. Everyone explained everything to me. How you fell victim to the Jenova project. I am so sorry this had to happen to you. It's a pleasure to see you have recovered your memories and found out who you really are.

    John= Oh, yes.....Did Verius tell you what happened as well?

    Martell= Yes he did. And im sure you are aware why you are here?

    John= Yes, I am. To be freed from this dreadful curse.

    Martell= Yes, and no. We can never remove this crest and cruxis crystal.... but we can alter it so it can be harnessed for good. Now John. Repeat after Lloyd.

    Lloyd= John.... repeat after me. "I wish you to anylst thy pact with Lloyd Irving, and establish a new pact with me."

    John= Ok.....here goes....Martell.....I wish you to anylst thy pact....with Lloyd irving....and....estabblish a new pact with me.

    Martell= I accept. The pact will now commence.

    *With a bright warm light surrounding John....then with a coating of light....John was being purified by the light.*

    Yuan= Collet, Marta, you have the same adept as he does. Help him out. Combine your divine powers to aid him.

    *Marta and Collet aided John in the warm light he was in.......Then with a big flash.....John was no longer wearing the lolita that Alice put him in.....the light changed John into a mythrill like garmets in green and brown leather and with celtic markings and engravements of the world tree on them. John had a tunic with loose sleves, silk sleve tops and leggings with shin guards to match the outfit and a hat with crystal leaf like accesories on the sides. John has been changed into a true chosen. And his body seemed to be a bit different now. He felt as if he lost some weight and felt younger and leaner. His phisical apperance also looked like he shedded some age as well. But the Jenova crest remained, he felt as if it too has changed.*

    John= My body...... I feel so ...... like a new person.

    (Music changes to - And then/ Shining Wisdom)Download

    Marta= Finnaly, rid of that Alice getup and look at you. You look like you can take on the world now.

    Collet= Welcome to the group John.

    Zelos= Now it's offical. John is now one of us.

    Lloyd= Well, this is it. No more pact for me.

    *John looked at his test ring and it too changed.*

    John= This ring.... it's changed.

    Lloyd= That's the new chosen ring. It's proof that of someone who redeems themselves and becomes a new person.

    John= Lloyd....after what I did to you and your friends....I dont know what to say...how I can ever thank you.

    Kay= John, your free at last.

    John= I like to know who are you?

    Kay= My name is Kay. I am the captain of the kakarott. Im the leader of MDF and in the specal group Code of iron, a group that is dedicated to help others and make their own family and swear never to betray.

    John= Sounds great.

    Kay= Kaolla has already sighned up for it. When these worlds are saved, I want to take you places. I have people I want you to meet and introduce yourself too. What do you say John, want to join MDF?

    John= Absolutely.

    Kay= But for now, we must get those barriers broken and the summon spirits saved and destroy those mana spheres. It's time to undo what the Black Circle had done. As for you Alice....I hope you wish to amend for what you did to John and say your sorry?

    Alice= My Johnny. ....how could you......do that?

    John= I know what happened to your parrents. I know, but I also want to get to help you too. You cannot trust these Daleks. Kaolla will explain everything to you.

    Alice= So you are a traveler of time, space, and dimensons?

    John= I cannot help you right now, I have some things I need to do.

    Raine= For starters, Alice, you can explain yourself to Kaolla while you go back in the Tardis. We need to go back to the castle and get back Gordon's ship. At Meltokio, you can stand trial for what you done to John and this world.

    Gordon= Miss Raine, can we help with the temples as well? We could try to blast the barriers with our missles.

    Raine= Im afraid only John can remove the barriers.

    John= There's more Black Circle members in Triet.

    Yuan= They got my Triet base too? Oh man.

    John= Then we better hurry to Triet, because the Daleks brobably heard of the defeat in Flanoir and they would definetly terminate that Black Circle group there.

    Regal= Why would the Dalek want to harm their own allies?

    John= I know these things Regal, Daleks dont care about lives of other beeings. Even when it comes to their own kind, order and obediance are absolute to them. When there done with the Black Circle completely, there gonna be concidered despensible and all of them would be killed.

    Regal= Why would they do this?

    Genis= That's horrible!

    Flonne= That's sheer murder! That is definetly an unforgivavle sin.

    John= So everyone. Are you willing to help me capture these people? Wanna go for it? We will not have much time left. If anyone wants to step down, then I won't hold it against you.

    Etna= I'll go. I want to give the Daleks alittle payback for what they did. And I will take this Demon tome from Alice. I'll hold on to it for safe keeping. Even though I cant use it anymore.

    Marta= Your new clothes suit you well John. And you can even use some of our artes and you can even combine them too can you?

    John= My key crest is the only one in the world that can do that. I can mimic everyone's artes and I can use just about any weapon. huh....what's this?

    *John pulls from his pockets and finds a ring like weapon similar to Collet's chakram but it was much larger and engraved with celtic markings.*

    Yuan= Impossibe! Thats..... that's the salvation ring. I thought that weapon ceased to exist 4000 years ago.

    Kratos= By the way, what happened to the Devil's pike? We will not be needing it anymore.

    Lloyd= Well....Martell told me that the devil's pike was taken and used to exchange it to revive the ring. With the Chosen ring, only the one who wears that ring can wield the salvation ring.

    John= Vyres and Hoggmiser arent gonna be happy.

    Vyres= Most correct Missure chosen.

    Hoggmiser= That costed me a fourtune.

    John= Im so sorry everyone. I will pay you all my HL to help cover your services and pay for the lost treasure.

    Yuan= HL?

    John= Netherworld money. These guys dont accept Gald.

    Hoggmiser= Nah.... it's ok. I had enough fun helping you guys out. My son wanted me to aprriciate other things besides money. *snort*

    Vyres= I suppose you have a point there. The devil's pike was a legend, but I suppose it's best destroyed. What if the Black Circle were to get ahold of it?

    John= Ok, is everyone ready for Triet?

    *John joins the retaliation group, and Lloyd rejoins the group. But Yuan stayed behind to help guard the world tree. They boarded the Tardis and went back to retrieve Gordons ship. Then they all went for Triet. Once they arrived in Triet's renegade base, they seen fire and smoke comming from the building and the doors blasted open.*

    (Music changes to - Blue summers/ Trigun, 2nd doughnut happy pack)Download

    Zelos= Hey,...isn't that the renegade base? There's smoke comming from the place.

    Genis= Oh man. Were to late.

    John= Ohhh man, Son of a b***h! Oh those Dalek bastards!

    Lloyd= These were done by other Black Circle members. Look, there's more of them dead over here.

    Raine= They were killed by claws, arrows and all kinds of weapons. There most definently from the netherworld.

    Marta= That's awful. Not even the Vangard was this low.

    John= It's the Daleks! They must have ordered theirs from the netherworld camps to do this. Im going in now!

    Raine= John! Wait!

    Flonne= John! Wait, please!

    John= Rodyle!! Magnius!! Anyone!! Hawk!! Someone!?....oh god no!! Magnar!! Decus!! Any survivors!!

    Collet= John. Don't rush!

    *John ran inside as fast as he could and used the salvation ring as a derbis cutter and ripped apart derbis blocking any doors and cracks. John was searching for survivors. John looked very worried and furrious.*

    Gordon= Taking out your own allies....that is the work of a coward.

    Kurtis= Indeed.

    Jennifer= Thursday, use your scanners to pick up any trace of survivors.

    Thursday= IGNICIATING LIFE SCANNERS! ........BLIP BLEP!......FAINT SIGNAL COMMING FROM LOWER SECTION!

    John= Thanks Thursday! HANG ON!!

    *John ran in deeper and kept running until he found a room where he was in when he was with the black circle and he found.... Magnar, the former Vangard member.*

    John= Magnar! Are you alright?

    Magnar= The.... Black Circle.... betrayed us. *coughing*

    John= Who lead this attack? Is Rodyle alright!?

    Magnar= Rodyle got away..... safely. He and the other former Desians used a warp bead to escape.

    John= What about Decus and Hawk. Are they alright?

    Magnar=.....a..a..Alice...where is she?

    John= She's alright. She's with me. WHat about Decus and Hawk.

    Magnar= They couldnt escape in time. They hid deeper in the place. *ack*

    John= Magnar!!

    *Magnar fainted*

    Marta= There you are John. Why did you run off like......Magnar!?

    John= Oh god..... what were these guys thinking.....Split up everyone! Im not leaving untill everyone is saved. Were looking for 2 prinny's. The purple is Decus, and the other grey tall one is Hawk.

    *Later..... in Triet's village.....in the inn, Magnar, Hawk, and Decus were in the biggest inn room with doctors with them.*

    Triet doctor= There going to be alright. They been suffering from inhailing smoke and carbon minoxide. We can keep them here until they get better.

    Raine= Thanks Sir.

    John= Decus, are you alright?

    Decus= .....a...a...Alice....

    John= She's safe with me.

    Hawk=.....is.....Alice....angry?

    John= I dont know. Raine, I need to get Alice out here.

    Raine= I don't know if we should.

    John= She can have escort. I know she's our prisoner, but I want Alice to see them.

    *Alittle later, Regal, Lloyd, Zelos, and Sheena escored Alice to see Hawk, Decus, and Magnar.*

    Alice= Hawkie, Magnar, dumbo-Decus....are they ok?

    John= I saved them from the burning fortress. Dont you see the truth of the Daleks now Alice? This is what a Dalek does. They attacked and killed all the Symphonian Black Circle group.

    Alice= What about Rodyle?

    John= Magnar said that he got out safely.

    Raine= Do you have anything else to say Alice?

    Alice= .....Johnny.....about the Jenova crest.....I......im.....sorry.

    Etna= Is that the best you can come up with? What about me! I lost my demon-hood because of you! And I was enjoying seeing Flonne as a demon too! I can't be overlord anymore because of this.

    Alice= Let me join the retaliation force! I swear I will make up to this!

    Etna= I'll think about it...... but on one condition. You are my vassal. Your also Flonnes, and his! And as soon as your cronies recover, there instantly drafted and the same goes to them.

    Decus= ....me...a vassal?

    Hawk= ....I can relate to that.....I just want to see the Sylveranti safe.

    Magnar= We dont care about the Daleks anymore. After what they did.

    John= Alice, Decus, Hawk, Magnar.....thanks.

    Raine= I really dont approve of this. But ..... they will be observed at all times.

    Lloyd= John..... you better be careful. I dont trust them.

    Sheena= I agree with Lloyd on this one.

    Alice= I'll help by freeing this fire temple.

    John= She wants to amend for what she did to me. I want to give her a chance.

    Zelos= John, you better watch your back. I dont like this idea letting them join the group.

    John= I will talk to Kaolla about making them something to keep them in check.

    Alice= I swear. I had no idea the Daleks would go this far. I didnt know about that Jenova crest and that cruxis crystal.

    Marta= What about your greed for power Alice? If it wasnt for that in the first place, John would never had to bear such a burden. Have you no idea how much we had to go through to get him back!? Your lucky he's forgiving you now!

    Alice= ......Mart-mart. .....YOU!!

    Magnar= .....that girl.....you bore the ....

    Hawk= ....Lady Marta?

    Decus= .......I know her.....your that girl......

    Alice= I ought to make you pay for what you did to me.

    Etna= Dont you dare! We got both worlds to save and since you are to blame for all of this, you go in front of battle every time. Now were getting ready to fix what you made a mess of.

    Lloyd= That's enough! All of you. Let's go save the ruins. But..... if Alice wants to come, she will go without her friends for awhile. There still sick from the smoke poison.

    *Alice joins the party. This made the other members suspicous so Regal, Zelos, Presea, and Kratos stayed behind to watch them, while the rest went to the Triet ruins. At the ruins....*

    Raine= Oh my..... this barrier.....I cant even go through it.

    Alice= I can.

    Lloyd= You stay where you are.

    Raine= John. Break the barrier.

    *John pulled out the salvation ring and with a swipe, the entire barrier faded away.*

    John= It's taken down. Listen up, while I was brainwashed, I suspect that these neterworldians are using this place as some sort of training grounds. Be on your guard. Some Blck Circle agents are down here too.

    Genis= John sure acts nice dosent he? I like him this way much better than that wierd lolita look.

    Alice= And I suppose you would like me to put a nice lolita outfit on you too!?

    Raine= Don't you dare talk to my brother like that!

    Lloyd= Your still under observation. Now move!

    Etna= Don't worry Lloyd, if she goes out of line....WHAM!

    *Everyone entered the temple.....and they seen monsters like they never seen before. At some points, the group had to fight their way through some of them. Now they were taking a right and went through the platforms which were already solved. Now alitttle later, they reached the altar....and with the mana sphere intact. And they also seen Efret on the ground petrified.*

    John= I can also revive Efret here too. What if I touched him with the salvation ring?

    *John touched Efret with the salvation ring and the petrification was reversed and he was back to normal.*

    Genis= John, you did it. You saved Efret.

    Efret= Im finaly free. ..... I see, your mind has been restored.

    John= Your not mad?

    Efret= Mad? No. You were used as a tool of those outsider monsters. These monsters are not Ratatosk's. And this sphere drains my temple of mana. Destroy it, and this place will return to normal.

    John= Efret....im....im sorry....I.....

    Efret= No need to apologise. Now destroy that sphere.

    *John took the salvation ring and with one slice.....the mana sphere shrunk back to pocket size and fell off the altar.*

    John= It wasnt destroyed.

    Raine= Perhaps we could hang on to it?

    John= These things are dorment while there in this size.

    Alice= Oh the Daleks are gonna be so mad.

    Etna= At you of couse.

    Flonne= Im so glad this place is back to normal.

    Gordon= Look everyone...the monsters are leaving the temple...but those havent.

    John= That's because their probably Ratatosk's monsters. This is their home. That's one down. Let's go do another.

    Sheena= Ahhh..... Efret is back with me once more.

    (Music dies down)

    *So the first temple....the one of Triet was restored and Alice now joins the retaliaton force..... but can she be trusted? But what about things in the neterworld? And what about Rodyle, magnius, Forcystus, and Kvar's wareabouts? Will they also join the retaliation after being betrayed by the daleks or will they go rouge once again as if they were Desians once more? Find out next chapter......*
