Episode 8: Fixing the Mess

Meltokio Hotel
Room A
Kiyobi (lying on bed): "Well... what are we supposed to do in the Elemental Lab place again?"
Sheena (sitting in front of the mirror): "Research the Orb."
Kiyobi: "Oh yeah."
Sheena: "Sheesh, Kiyobi. You're as absent-minded as you were as a kid!"
Sheena and Kiyobi chuckle.
Kiyobi: "Well... it's 10 o' clock... I need some sleep. Night." *Nods off*
Sheena: "Good night."
A few minutes later...
Sheena puts away her deck of cards and walks towards Kiyobi's bed.
Sheena: "He's handsome..."
Kiyobi: "zzz..."
Sheena closes in on his face, then pulls it back away.
Sheena: "I shouldn't... yet..."
Sheena just walks to another bed and goes to sleep.
--
Room B
Colette: "You look like something is bothering you."
Presea: "Well, it's just..."
Colette: "You can tell me. Girl to girl, you know?"
Presea: "It's sort of personal, though."
Colette: "Well, if you don't want to say, I understand. Good night." *Slips into bed*
Presea: "Good night."
Lights go out, and Presea pulls out a flashlight with a few pictures. The pictures show Presea with everyone, and some couple pictures, but mostly, couples of her and Genis.
Presea: "This isn't right. I have to be at least double his age..."
--
Room C
Eliwood: "Great... we're stuck with HIM!"
Lyn: "Shh... we don't want him to hear, you know."
Eliwood: "Right."
Zelos: "Miss Lyn, did I ever mention how gorgeous you look?"
Regal (to Lyn): "He does this to Sheena all the time. Just whack him."
Lyn (to Regal): "I'll do that later."
--
Room D
Lloyd: "Well... the Orb's safe with me."
Genis: "Are you sure you'll be able to keep it safe?"
Lloyd: "Trust me! When have I ever lost something?"
Genis: "Well... there was my old kendama... and my set of figurines... and my-"
Lloyd: "Okay, okay, I get your point."
Raine: "Maybe I should hold on to it."
Genis: "Yeah."
Lloyd: "I guess." *Hands over Orb*
Raine: "I'll keep it safe and sound. I'm going back to my room. Good night."
Lloyd and Genis: "Good night."
--
Outside
Raine transforms into Cream.
Cream: "Suckers..."
Cream floats away and leaves the hotel.
-----
The next morning...
Team Survival Project's campsite
Cream: "I got it! I got it! I got the Orb!"
Aurelli: "Great work!"
Cream: "TOO easy!" *Pulls out orb and tosses it to Mithos*
Mithos: "Excellent."
Xyrho: "Well, what can we do now? We can't seal it without Roland!"
Hawk: "We better look for him then."
Shamoo: "How do we do that? He could be ANYWHERE in the world!!!"
Hazel: "This is going to be a PAIN..."
-----
Meanwhile...
All: "WHAT?!"
Raine: "I swear! I never took the orb last night!!!"
Lucy: "She's right. She never left our room past eight."
Lloyd: "Then who was that who took the orb last night?"
Roland: "Well... I have an idea."
Raine: "Who was it?"
Roland: "A friend of mine. Her name is Cream, an angel who can disguise herself as anyone she's seen before."
Kiyobi: "I'm guessing she's one of those led by Mithos?"
Roland: "I guess."
Regal: "What do we do now?"
Roland: "Well, if they're planning to seal the Orb again, they need me."
Zelos: "Whatever. Let's worry about that later. Your mission of sealing is useless unless we setup a shrine first, right? Let's get to the research!"
Raine: "All right!"
Raine dashes off at incredible speeds towards the Elemental Research Laboratory.
Roland: "Whoa... what's with her?"
Genis: "She's an... academic fiend."
Roland: "What?"
Lloyd: "She goes nuts whenever an opportunity to gain knowledge comes around."
Everyone else walks into the research center.
-----
Mithos' Tent
???: "Any news?"
Mithos: "Nothing."
???: "Well, I've noticed that the Fire Dungeon, where you met these people, has collapsed."
Mithos: "Is that good?"
???: "To us. Without the Dungeon's Orb Shrine, the Orb can't be sealed."
Mithos: "Great."
???: "Keep them busy. I need more time."
Mithos: "Yes, s-"
Shamoo: "Mithos!"
Mithos: "S-Shamoo!" *Hides the communicator*
Shamoo: "What are you doing in here all by yourself?"
Mithos: "N-Nothing... just killing time."
Shamoo: "How about I teach you how to use the broom?"
Mithos: "Sounds good. Give me a minute."
Shamoo: "All right." *Walks out*
Mithos pulls out his communicator.
Mithos: "We're going to have to finish this later."
???: "Right. I have to finish the preparations anyway."
Mithos: "Mithos out." *Deactivates communicator and walks out to meet Shamoo*
-----
Lloyd: "Ugh... so... tired...
Genis: "Are you serious? We haven't even gotten past the first line of books yet!"
Lloyd: "Are you kidding me?!"
A while later...
Sheena: "I found it!"
Roland: "What?"
Sheena: "Here, look at this." *Passes the book to Roland*
Roland: "In order to rebuild the Shrine, you need the four Elemental Pieces and building materials of any kind."
Regal: "Elemental Pieces?"
Roland: "They're native in my world. They're forces of the Four Elements: Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire."
Lloyd: "Your world?"
Roland: "This is Tethe'alla and Sylvarant, correct? Listen, your worlds aren't the only ones."
Raine: "How so?"
Roland: "All our worlds are conjoined."
Lyn: "How do you know this?"
Roland: "My grandfather was a Sealer and he found the secret of this world."
Raine: "Fascinating!"
Roland: "In fact, he married someone in Sylvarant... someone named... I think Rose? I can't remember."
Genis: "Go on."
Roland: "And they bore three children. My father, Henry, a girl, Erica, and..."
Lloyd: "And...?"
Roland: "Another boy, named Kratos."
Lloyd: "WHAT?!?!"
Roland: "Something wrong?"
Lloyd: "Kratos is my dad!"
Roland: "WHAT?!?!"
Lloyd: "He told me about Aunt Erica and an uncle who died before I was born."
Sheena: "This is getting weirder and weirder..."
Roland: "So we're cousins?!"
Lloyd and Roland faint.
Raine: "How can that be? They don't look a bit related."
Regal: "Never judge a book by its cover."
Raine: "Oh, yeah."
Sheena: "Anyways..."
Raine: "Right. So... we need one of each Elemental Piece and building material."
Eliwood: "Where do we start?"
Lyn: "If Roland is right, we have to go to their world."
Raine: "Lyn is right. But for right now, only Roland can possibly know how to get there."
Presea: "Speaking of Roland, what happened to the other girl that was here?"
Genis: "Lucy?"
Lucy: "Right here."
Genis: "What are you reading?"
Lucy: "A book on healing arts."
Genis: "Oh."
Raine: "Do you know how to get back to your world?"
Lucy: "I think... Roland was leading the way the whole time, I didn't exactly pay attention to where we were going..."
Everyone thinks for a bit.
Kiyobi: "Well... break time!"
Lucy: "I'm starved!"
Lloyd wakes up: "Yeah! When's lunch?"
Everyone anime falls.
