Warning: Shonen ai (boy/boy) and swearing
Again, I'm warning you guys that this was originally a one-shot before I decided it to be a dark deconstruction sequel of Dawn of the New World...
Chapter 1: Twins

Ratatosk glared at Raine the whole time the party was in Meltokio. The she devil was still planning to torture him. The least he could do was give her a look that could kill and hopefully she would leave him alone.
It wouldn't last long though. The party was planning to disband to do their own thing. Lloyd and Zelos were going to continue their journey on finding the remaining Ex-Spheres in the world. Colette was planning to return to Iselia before she out to help the Sylvaranti in any way she can. Genis decided that he would continue the journey that he and Raine started which was get people to accept half-elves. Sheena was to go back and help move her village to a different location. Presea would go back and help rebuild Ozette along with Regal who was also going to try to bring Sylvarant and Tethe'alla together with the help of the Lezerano Company.
"We'll see each other again, right?" Marta questioned in worry.
"Of course," Lloyd answered, "we may be going our separate ways but we have ways of running into each other again."
"Besides," Sheena continued, "you'll know where to find us if you need anything."
"Hey Emil," Zelos began, "make sure you go easy on Marta."
Emil couldn't help but blush, but that comment earned a smack in the head from the Chief of Mizuho.
"You perverted Ex-Chosen!"
"Oww! Come on Sheena! When are you going to stop abusing me?"
"When you stop making stupid statements!"
Just when Sheena was going to smack Zelos again, he ran to Lloyd for protection.
"Bud save me!"
"D-Don't get me involved in your affairs!"
The group couldn't help but laugh as Sheen decided to give up giving the pounding on Zelos for Lloyd's sake. The laughter died down as they looked at each other before saying their farewells.
Colette spread her wings and flew off while everyone else hopped on their Rheairds soaring in different locations. Emil, Marta and Ratatosk were left or so the red eyed Summon Spirit thought.
"Why are you still here?" Ratatosk questioned Raine rudely.
Raine was quiet moment before speaking, "I thought I would pick up some research papers in Sybak. I was wondering if you three would join me. That is, if you don't have anything important to do."
Ratatosk was about to decline the offer but Marta spoke first.
"Of course we'll join you," Marta said sounding very excited.
"Sure," Emil agreed, "we have noting better to do."
"Hey! What about my opinion?"
Ignoring Ratatosk, Raine smiled in response, "Well then, shall we be going?"
Ratatosk grunted as the trio started walking to the entrance. He would only have to tolerate the half elf for a few more hours and then he wouldn't be seeing her for a while. That was something to look forward to.

The flight to Sybak only took five minutes thanks to the Rheairds. Marta still got airsick after the flight though, so they couldn't enter the city until she felt better.
"I'm sorry. I just can't get use to the feeling of being on those Rheairds..." Marta apologized.
"It's okay Marta," Emil counseled, "you can't help situations like these."
"Emil..."
Ratatosk grumbled as he walked past them. "Hurry up! Raine's leaving us behind!"
The two teens blushed as they both hurried to catch up with Ratatosk and the professor.
Once they arrived in Sybak, it was a trip to the Research Academy. On the way there, Emil noted that some of the researchers were looking up from their books or talking to other researchers to glance at them.
"Hey Emil, is it just me or is everyone staring at us?" Marta asked. There was a hint of fear in her tone.
"They're stating at both of you," Raine stated as she stopped to point at Emil and Ratatosk.
"Huh?"
"From the times you've been here, they only seen you or Ratatosk. Now that both of you have your own body and look like Aster, they can't help but take a glimpse at you."
"Hmph. Who cares?" Ratatosk asked.
Emil just sighed with worry. Ratatosk had no idea what problems would come up with two people walking around who look identical to their friend. He would be okay because people knew Emil as the kind hearted soul but Ratatosk was something else.
"Hey aren't you Aster?" a researcher decided to ask as he walked toward them.
Not this again. Emil thought to himself.
The male researcher looked at Emil, then at Ratatosk and then back at Emil with a puzzled countenance.
"That's funny. I remember seeing you before," the male researcher said toward Emil, "but I don't remember seeing him before..."
Emil couldn't help but sweat a little. The easiest way out would be to just tell him that this was the Summon Spirit Ratatosk and have no one believe him. Or he could make something up and suffer the consequences later. The blonde glanced at Raine hoping the half elf had a good excuse for this man.
"Umm...this is..."
"This is Emil's twin brother Ratatosk," Raine finished.
The trio glanced at Raine with a inconceivable expression. Emil quickly recovered realizing that this was the part where he had to continue the spurious story.
"Yeah. He's my younger twin brother. When I was here before, not only were we searching for a certain artifact, but we were searching for him as well." Emil explained.
Emil was waiting for Ratatosk to instigate against him but nothing came from the red eyed Summon Spirt because he was still trying to absorb what Raine said. Marta liked the idea though and picked up the story from there.
"Isn't he cute?" Marta questioned using her best fake smile she could muster.
The researcher scratched his head wondering if he should believe these strangers. It wasn't his place to intrude so he said, "I see. Ratatosk is sure a weird name..."
The researcher said no more and walked off to join his colleges. Once he was out of hearing range, Emil sighed with relief.
"Phew. That was close."
Marta giggled, "That was a nice one Emil!"
Raine nodded her head in agreement, "You really know how to change the situation."
Emil chuckled nervously as he glanced at Ratatosk to see his reaction. He started to shiver seeing a dangerous aura coming out of him.
"Umm...Ratatosk?"
"I won't accept this!"
"Yikes!"
"I will not be the younger brother!"
The fear that Emil had went away slightly, "W-What?"
"You're the one who relies on me too much, so-"
Marta fumed, "That was then but the Emil now is more dependable than you!"
Ouch. Emil thought to himself as he backed up.
Ratatosk felt something hurt in his chest. Back then, Marta relied on both of them but ever since he was sealed away by Verius, he couldn't see the process that Emil made from the point he was sealed to the point where the group defeated Richter. During that short time, Emil must have done something courageous to have Marta say something like that...but she always stood up for Emil no matter what.
"If you guys are done then I think we should get those research notes now," Raine said coldly.
Marta and Ratatosk glared at each other and turned away disgusted before continuing. Emil could only sough. Ratatosk had a point about the green eyed Summon Spirit relying on him, but in the sense of maturity, Ratatosk did not have the aura of the older brother. Period.

The group made it to the academy where Raine wasted no time to visit Director Schneider. Apparently, he had research notes on unexplored ruins. The trio were lucky that Raine didn't go into Ruin Mode the instant she received this information.
"If you're going to go to these ruin sites, I suggest you be careful," the director warned, "I heard there are powerful monsters residing in these areas."
"Nothing will stop me from entering these ruins..." Rained murmured not listening to the advice the director gave her.
The trio sweatdropped.
She is in Ruin Mode. They all thought to themselves.

As the group left the research academy, another male researcher approached them. He didn't seem as friendly as the other one that walked up to them. In fact, he had a disgruntled look on his face and he looked ready to direct that dissatisfaction to someone.
"You!" he addressed in a harsh tone as he pointed at Raine, "You're a half-elf are you?"
The trio glanced at the professor to see what her reaction would be. She kept her composure and nodded her head. That response only deepened the anger in the man's eyes.
"You monster! Did that half-elf order you to come back just to make my life miserable?"
Raine was taken back by those baneful words but she kept her equanimity. Angered, Emil and Marta decided to come to her aid.
"Hey! Who are you coming here and calling Raine a monster?" Marta questioned ready to explode.
"Shut up little girl!" the researcher barked, "Half-elves are the worse! They killed one of my important friends!"
"Who was the half-elf?" Emil wondered.
"How the hell should I know? It doesn't matter because all half-elves are savages!" the researcher declared.
"Take back what you said!" Marta threatened.
Ratatosk looked to see if Raine would lose it or at least say something back but she looked like she wouldn't budge. He was beginning to lose his temper as well.
"Silence! All half-elves must die!"
Ratatosk got his sword out and pointed it at the researcher, "Shut up. You're annoying."
"Y-You!"
"Ratatosk, put your sword away!" Raine finally ordered.
The trio glanced at the professor shocked.
"Why should I?" Ratatosk questioned, "He's the one ranting on about how half-elves should drop off at the edge of this world!"
"Violence won't stop discrimination Ratatosk," Raine explained, "and by attacking this man, you are letting your anger get the best of you."
Ratatosk didn't feel like listening to the professor but Emil's words got him to stop.
"Please put your sword away Ratatosk. Raine is right."
The red eyed Summon Spirit groaned as he put his sword away back into his sheath and stepped back.
"I'm sorry that my friend attacked you," Raine apologized, "and I'm sorry you feel that way toward half-elves. But I'll tell you this. Half-elves aren't going to disappear for a long time."
The man growled, "Say what you want but one day, half-elves will all be slaughtered! Just you wait and see!"
With that said, the researcher ran off.
Marta stomped her foot and turned to the half elf, "What a jerk! I can't believe he said those things to you!"
"If you would have let me kill him, then I would have silenced those words," Ratatosk added.
"I know both of you are angry," Raine began, "But these are the things half-elves like me have to deal with...and I'm used to it now."
"But Raine-"
"Emil, you should know what it feels to be discriminated against."
Emil nodded his head slowly remembering the bad times in Luin.
"And Marta, you'll have to deal with discrimination against the Vanguard eventually."
"I know but..."
"This is the only way for humans and half-elves alike to move on in life. If we can't get over what people say, we might turn out for the worse..."
"Like Alice..."
The group continued walking to the entrance of the city as Raine continued talking. Eventually they made it out of Sybak and into the open field.
"Two years ago, Genis and I made a vow. A vow where we would get people to not hate us half-elves."
"Sound abject if you ask me," Ratatosk told her.
"It does, but we believe...that humans, elves, half-elves and Summon Spirits alike would be able to live together in harmony. Besides, us half-elves live longer than humans and elves combined so we might be able to change how people see us..."
There was a hint of sorrow in her tone of voice. Emil and Ratatosk understood why she would be distraught over living longer but...
"Is there anything you guys needed to do?" she asked suddenly perking up.
"Wait, what are you going to do?" Marta asked. She didn't realize that Raine quickly changed the subject.
"Well, I'm going to head back to Iselia to pack my things before I head over to these ruins. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll have Regal accompany me."
"Knew it..." Ratatosk mumbled earning a wicked stare from the professor.
"We haven't decided yet," Emil said the obvious, "but we'll think of something surely."
Raine got out her Rheaird out and hopped on it, "If you decide that you want to head to the ruins with me, head to Iselia. I'll be there for a few days before I leave."
"Be careful Raine!" Emil told her.
Raine nodded her head, "You three be careful too. Don't let the melancholy inside of you take over."
The three had no idea what she was talking about but she already took off. Emil and Marta waved to her until her Rheaird turned into a star.
"I hope she'll be okay..." Marta mumbled.
"Don't worry, she's strong. Just like everyone else." Emil assured his girlfriend.
"I guess you're right."
"I hate to break it to you, but do you two have any idea on what we're going to do now?"
"Uh..."
"Actually, I wanted to see my father..." Marta declared.
"In Meltokio Prison, right?" Emil questioned.
"Yes, I told him that I would see him after we finished our journey. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you."
"Um...yeah...so...are we going to use the Rheairds?"
"No way. We could probably make it to Meltokio on foot before it gets dark."
"But it would only take-"
Marta walked closer to Emil. She leaned over and whispered in his ear, "Besides, I want to take this journey of love together."
Emil felt his cheeks turning pink again.
"C-Cut it out Marta."
"Aw, but you know you would rather walk."
Ratatosk frowned as he watched the scene in front of him. Again, he should be happy to see the two together. They are perfect partners, so they couldn't be separated even if anyone wanted to.
Yet, my chest really hurts... Ratatosk told himself as he unconsciously placed his hand on his chest. Maybe I should really go back to the Ginnungagap. No one really wants me here...
But he couldn't help but think about how many times Marta always tried to convince him that he was always going to be a part of the group, regardless of anything else. It seemed like the only tiny bit of hope that made him stick around….but the more he thought of it, the more he thought of being more than just a battle partner, more than just a friend….something more…he couldn't put his finger on what that would be…
He closed his eyes for a moment, imaging Marta smiling at him like she smiled at Emil. Imagining her hugging and holding his hand. Sure…it sounded corny in his head…but inwardly…it didn't seem all that bad…
His mind then clearly reminded him of images of Lloyd and Zelos. He shook his head wildly to drown those images from his brain, but they still remained. I'm not like that! I couldn't possibly like men like that!
The images still ran through his head like a broken record, his mind started leading from one thought to another. The faces of Lloyd and Zelos at first changed to Ratatosk and Marta which made his face heat up a little…he then shook his head, seeing as the continuity of that didn't quite make sense there….then his brain replaced Marta's face with Emil's-
Ratatosk's brain did a total freeze, almost having a train wreck in there to stop all functioning brain noodles. He instantly yelled in his head, but his face was as red as his eyes. STOP THINKING SUCH NONSENSE LIKE THAT!
"Ratatosk!"
Emil's voice snapped the red eyed Summon Spirit out of his thoughts.
"Don't zone out on us like that. I know we talk about us...together...but don't keep staring at us like you want to kill us...heh..."
Ratatosk wasn't listening to Emil's words. He was paying attention to the closeness and the kinder of the two was too close for comfort.
"If you don't want to me to kill you guys then say something more interesting!" Ratatosk shouted as he jumped back away from Emil confusing the blonde.
"Sorry."
"Don't apologize."
Emil was going to apologize again but Marta yelled at the two blondes to hurry up.
"Let's go. We don't want to keep her waiting," Emil said with an exasperated sigh as he dragged his body over to his girlfriend who was already running farther away from him.
Ratatosk followed the two but kept looking behind them. He couldn't help but have this strange feeling that something was following them and it certainly wasn't a monster...

Me: Two done with 3525 words. What do you think? I personally like this story so I might continue adding chapters until I get bored and decided to end it? You can decide by reviewing since it's appreciated. And for the whole random guy yelling at Raine because she's a half elf...if some random guy can walk up to Lloyd and Falcon Punch him, then it's possible for this to happen.
Oh, and I have to thank Blackie for writing Ratatosk's thoughts down. I couldn't do it without her. Thank you honey. XD
