21st Combo - [Video]

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd's face is pale, panicked, when the video feed turns on.]

Guys, we have a problem. Cruxis is here.

[He swallows.]

And so is Kratos. He's taken over. It isn't Yggdrasill anymore, it's him. He's-

[His eyes abruptly widen, no longer looking at the Dreamberry but something off screen.]

Damn it, they're back!

[There's a flash of steel as he pulls a sword out, then the feed abruptly turns off.]


[ooc: Backdated to after this.]

They're with Cruxis. They're here because Kratos brought them! Why would he bring them if they weren't going to help him?

[You're not making any sense.]

[You're not making any sense either, Lloyd.]

No, they're not. They're...they're not Cruxis!

Action

[redcladidealist]

[He's still keeping an eye on the angels, swords held at the ready, but he glances briefly at Sheena. It's hard to believe what she's saying.]

You mean there are angels out there who aren't a part of Cruxis? Angels besides Colette?

Action

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

T-They're not angels! They're dead, Lloyd!

[Why wasn't he seeing this?]

Action

[redcladidealist]

[What?]

Sheena...

[They're not dead. They're right there. If they were dead...]

If they were dead, why are you scared of them?

Action

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Because I killed them! They...they shouldn't be here!

[She's hysterical Lloyd, why are you trying to talk sense with her...]

Action

[redcladidealist]

[None of any of this is making sense. Not the angels, not the dead people, not Sheena.]

They're not attacking...

[Which is bizarre in and of itself.]

Come on, why don't we just leave?

Action

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

Of course they're not attacking!

[She nods a little, looking up at Lloyd.]

Yes...I...I would like to leave.

Action

[redcladidealist]

[You know what? He's not going to argue anymore. He's too worried about Sheena. And the sooner they get away from these angels, the better. He sheathes one sword, keeping the other at the ready, and holds his hand out.]

Then let's go to my place. We'll be safe there.

Action

[beats-zelos.livejournal.com]

[She takes his hand and gets up, nodding. She's happy to not argue anymore too, of course.]

Okay...if you say so.

Action

[redcladidealist]

I do.

[And if there's one thing Lloyd always tries his hardest to do, it's always to keep his word. He leads her out of her apartment, holding her hand tight.]

Don't worry, Sheena. I'll make sure we're both okay.
