"Bud, why are we here again?" Zelos asked Lloyd for the third time that morning.
Lloyd and Zelos had no such luck with finding any Ex-Spheres in the small villages they visited. However, once they were contacted by one of Sheena's spies, they got information about an Ex-Sphere experiment in Sybak. However, the Ex-Sphere disappeared from the lab and they were back at square one. Sheena had the information though and told them to wait in front of Meltokio inn. Zelos had been bugging his boyfriend since. "Sheena told us to meet up here," Lloyd explained calmly, "She has details on this Ex-Sphere that mysteriously disappeared from the lab." "But Miss Jubilees will take forever..." "Be patient." Zelos frowned, "Aw, come on Bud. Stop acting like your old man." Lloyd remained silent. A quiet brunette was the one thing that Zelos did not like about the new Lloyd. Sometimes, he wished that the old immature Lloyd would return to them, but a lot has happened in the past two years they've been traveling together. Despite the fact that it was the early morning, there were people (mainly nobles) walking around gossiping. They always had something to talk about. What the three nobles were chatting about though caught Lloyd's attention. "Did you hear what the Church of Martel is going to do?" "No. What could they possibly do now?" "They plan to execute Commander Brute today." "Really?" "So, they've finally decided to give that Sylvaranti bastard divine punishment." "What time is he going to be executed?" "When the sun is the highest." "12:00 PM?" "Yeah. You better go and watch the execution." "Where is it?" "In the colosseum. It's a fitting place for that slime." "What will happen when he's dead?" "Simple. The Church of Martel will probably go after those filthy Vanguard members disbanded or not. They all deserve to die after what they did to us!" The three nobles continued to babble on about the execution and death to all Vanguard members. Lloyd exchanged a worried glance to Zelos. "What now?" he asked. Zelos shrugged his shoulders, "This was going to happen eventually Bud. It just happened sooner than expected." "I know, but what happens if Marta find out." "Life's tough, but she'll be fine. Marta's spunky personality will make her get over this." Lloyd nodded his head in agreement. Still, he worried that something bad was going to happen.The remainder of yesterday was awkward between Emil and Ratatosk. Emil could have said it was his older brother instincts that kicked in but somehow, he knew Marta wouldn't believe him.
The trio didn't share a room this time, so Emil took the time he had to think about all that's been happening. Ratatosk has changed. Emil told himself as he laid in bed. Ever since the party, he's been a different person. I think Marta noticed that too, but I wonder if this change is for the better or for the worse. Emil considered the second option. While it was great and all for Ratatosk to show emotion, it wasn't all that great if he was going to get out of character because of it. And it's still my fault that I let this happen to him. Emil thought to himself. There was a knock on his door. Judging from the other person's voice, the green eyed summon spirit concluded that it was Raine. "I'm coming..." Emil said with a yawn as he slowly got out of bed and headed his way toward the door. "Sorry for the intrusion, but have you seen Marta?" Emil shook his head. "Isn't she in her room." Raine frowned in response. "I checked her room but she wasn't there." "Maybe she went out for a walk?" "Regal said he hasn't seen her walk out of the hotel at all..." Emil groaned. "I don't know then." "Sorry for asking you, but I wanted to know if she was acting weird yesterday." Emil thought for a moment. There was nothing out of the ordinary after he comforted Ratatosk. He thought it would be best to leave his other half alone after he cried himself to sleep. Marta begged him to take him to the carnival since it was a good way to forget the incident. There was a short time when they were separated as Emil went to get the tickets to ride the ferris wheel. "Now that you think about it, when we went on the ferris wheel, Marta was really quiet," Emil stated. When Marta is quiet, you know something is wrong with her. "I see. Thank you." Raine left Emil to do whatever which was presumed to be going back to sleep. Emil didn't do that though. She's hiding something. The green eyed Summon Spirit concluded as he waited until the elevator closed. He watched as the elevator took her to the lobby. Emil waited until the elevator came back to his floor so that he could go inside and head to the lobby.The minute the elevator reached the lobby, Emil quickly stepped out it to overhear Raine speaking with Regal about something.
"So she can't be found anywhere?" he asked. There was a hint of concern in his tone of voice. "No," Raine replied. "I asked Emil and there was nothing out of the ordinary. Still it bothers me how the news spread so fast." "What news?" Emil made himself known. He didn't like it when his friends kept things from him. Raine frowned. "Apparently, Commander Brute is going to be executed today." The blonde was surprised, but not as surprised as he should have demonstrated. Emil knew that Commander Brute was going to be executed this week but he didn't expect it to be today of all days. "You don't seem that surprised Emil." Regal commented. "Actually," the green eyed Summon Spirit began, "Commander Brute told me that he was going to be killed this week." "Where did you get this information?" Raine questioned. "Yesterday before Marta and I went to search for Ratatosk...wait! Is this why Marta is missing?" The two adults nodded their head in union. "Yes," Raine answered. "From what you told me, it seems that Marta found out about her father's execution yesterday and said nothing to you because she didn't want you to know what was going on." In the end, I was the one hiding this important information from her. Emil thought to herself knowing he couldn't blame Marta for not telling him. Raine continued to explain the situation to Emil. About how Marta wasn't in her room this morning and their assumption that she left last night to head to Meltokio to see Commander Brute one last time before he's killed. "But Marta won't allow that," Emil said simply. "She told me that she couldn't bare to lose another family member." "Which means that she'll..." "She'll be planning to stop Commander Brute's execution." Emil turned around to see the new arrival. "Ratatosk?" "I overheard her speaking to Tenebrae last night," Ratatosk continued. " She said that she won't let the Church of Martel have their way with him." "Why didn't you stop her?" Ratatosk shrugged his shoulders. "Her mind was made up." "Then what are we waiting for?" Emil bounded toward the door. "Wait!" Regal called out causing the green eyed Summon Spirit to stop. "Regal I can't wait!" Emil shouted. "If Marta tries to stop the execution, she'll end up getting herself killed!" "Calm yourself Emil," Raine told him. "If you rush after her in this state without a plan, you too will end up dead." Emil frowned realizing that he was making the same mistake again. "Then what are we going to do?" "We should meet up with Sheena and the others." Regal explained. "They should already be in Meltokio since it seems the news is all over the Sylvarant and Tethe'alla areas." "Once we're there," Raine continued. "we'll think of a plan to prevent Marta from doing the unthinkable." That was all they could do. Commander Brute would be dead by 12:00 PM so they had time to regroup and think of a strategy. Emil wondered if he would be able to keep his promise with Marta.Me: TBC with 1879 words.
Li: Why stop there? Me: This arc will be divided into two chapters. This chapter will be rather short but I guarantee that the next chapter will be much longer since the next chapter is all action. You might be wondering why Ratatosk acts like he's okay in this chapter. Well, he has to put up a strong front because that's in his personality. He doesn't want to be pitied so he's putting the past behind him. However, the incident scarred him and it will affect him in the next chapter. Now the biggest question is: Will Commander Brute be executed or not? You'll have to stay tune and find out. Reviews are appreciated.
