Episode 11: The Truth

Mithos: "Hey, guys?"
Hazel: "What?"
Mithos: "I have something to say."
Hawk: "What is it?"
Mithos: "Goodbye."
Xyrho: "What?"
Mithos dashes backwards a few feet and casts a spell.
Shamoo: "RUN EVERYONE!"
Mithos: "Judgement!"
Beams of light rain down on everyone, crushing anyone caught in the line of fire. Only Shamoo is left standing.
Shamoo: "Mithos..."
Mithos: "Heh, you seriously thought that I liked you? Hah, you got to be kidding me!"
Shamoo: "No!"
Mithos: "So long, Shamoo. Crystal Prison!"
Shamoo: "Mithos! You can't do this!"
Mithos: "I just did."
Shamoo: "But..."
Ice crystals start to form around Shamoo.
Shamoo: "I love you..."
Mithos: "Wish I could say the same. Disappearance!"
Mithos takes the Orb and disappears in a flash of light.
Shamoo just sadly stares where Mithos disappeared and just lets the crystals encase her.
-----
Colette: "Hey! Did you guys see that?"
Kiyobi: "Sure did. Looks like a light."
Lloyd: "In Triet?"
Eliwood: "That looks oddly suspicious. Let's go!"
Everyone runs towards Triet.
-----
Outskirts of Triet
Regal: "Wait a minute... aren't those...?"
Lloyd: "The guys who fought us last time!"
Raine: "Only this time they don't look in good shape..."
Roland: "It's everyone though! Xyrho, Hawk, Cream, Aurelli, Hazel, Sven... wait... where's Shamoo?"
Presea: "Over here."
Roland: "Oh my god..."
Shamoo is encased in what appears to be crystal with a look of despair on her face.
Lucy: "This is horrible..."
Warren: "Who could've done this?!"
Lloyd: "Mithos."
Sheena: "Of course! He was with this crew, remember?"
Lloyd: "And he backstabbed them."
Lyn: "Even if they did fight against us, this is just... unbelievable."
Zelos: "NOW what do we do? Mithos is gone without a trace, and he left us seven victims!"
Roland: "Hey Lucy? What're you doing?"
Lucy: "I read this in the healing arts book over in Meltokio. This might work."
Lucy pulls out her book and holds it in a fashion. After a few minutes, she lets go of the book and as it floats in midair she makes some gestures.
Lucy: "Rise once more... Revival!"
Lucy emits beams of light from her hands, giving some light to each fallen member.
Hawk: "Ugh..."
Roland: "They're alive! Nice work Lucy!"
Lucy: "Thanks." *Smiles*
Xyrho: "Oog..."
Regal: "But they're still weak."
Roland: "Hey! Hawk! Xyrho! What in the world happened here?!"
Hawk: "Mithos... he took the Orb..."
Lloyd: "Did he say where he was going?"
Xyrho: "No."
Aurelli: "Ugh... oh my god... what happened to Shamoo?!"
Lloyd: "Who?"
Aurelli points to Shamoo.
Lloyd: "Oh, THAT'S Shamoo."
Raine: "She's right... Shamoo wasn't technically dead... so Lucy's spell didn't work."
Lucy: "I don't know how to cure those kinds of problems yet."
Hector: "One thing's for sure."
Lloyd: "Mithos is against all of us now."
Xyrho: "Hey... you're Lloyd, right?"
Lloyd: "Yeah, why?"
Xyrho: "The battle before... nice move."
Lloyd: "Thanks."
Xyrho: "Truce?"
Lloyd shakes hands with Xyrho: "Truce."
Kiyobi: "All right! Enough with the formalities! We still have to find Mithos!"
Roland: "And create a new Shrine..."
Kiyobi: "Right."
Cream: "So what do we do?"
Kiyobi knocks on the crystal.
Kiyobi: "Hmm... with a spell this tough... she must've found something out he didn't want to share..."
Aurelli: "She must have overheard something while getting Mithos to join the campfire."
Lloyd: "First things first... how to get her out of that crystal."
Kiyobi: "Hang on... I tried experimenting with a combination of Mage Bullets... I think I found a combination that cures any sort of spell enchantment."
Raine: "Sounds great!"
Kiyobi: "Only problem is... I haven't tested it yet... who knows what side-effects it can produce?"
Lyn: "We have no choice."
Kiyobi: "I guess... stand back everyone. Who knows if I get some backfire."
Everyone clears out, leaving Kiyobi alone against Shamoo's crystal encasing.
Kiyobi fishes around for the right bullets for his gun and loads up.
Colette: "I hope this works..."
Kiyobi takes aim...
Regal: "Cross your fingers..."
Kiyobi: "Holy Shot!"
Kiyobi clicks the trigger and fires the gun at the crystal, shattering it, barely missing Shamoo's face.
Hazel: "Yay... the eight of us are back together."
Roland: "She's back!"
Shamoo: "Mithos is..." *faints*
Kiyobi: "Uh... sorry if that bullet actually hit her..."
Sheena: "Doesn't look like it."

Meanwhile...
Unknown chamber
Mithos: "Master! I've finally made it!"
???: "Great work, Mithos."
Mithos: "So, what do we need now?"
???: "The only thing in our way now is The Sealers."
Mithos: "Already taken care of."
???: "Excellent. Now, everyone will bow down to their new ruler of the world, Barlog!" *Insert terribly evil Bowser-like laughter here*
-----
Room A
Aurelli: "Shamoo! Are you all right?"
Shamoo: "I... think... so..."
Cream: "Great, at least she can talk."
Shamoo: "I can't believe Mithos actually double-crossed us!"
Aurelli: "Don't worry. We'll get him back."
Shamoo: "You don't understand! I... loved him."
Aurelli: "You mean...?!"
Shamoo blushes: "Yeah..."
Aurelli: "Ouch... that must hurt. We'll get him back, I'll be sure of it."
Shamoo: "All right."
Aurelli: "Get some rest. We all need it."

Hotel lobby
Lloyd: "How is she?"
Aurelli: "She'll be fine."
Zelos: "Oh my! Who knew such grace and beauty could come in such an incredibly small package!"
Aurelli (REALLY angry face): "Back off."
Zelos: "Uh... okay..."
Lyn: "Don't you think everyone needs some sleep?"
Raine: "She has a point. Why don't we take a break here for the day?"
Everyone: "All right."
???: "You guys look like you could use some help."
Lloyd turns around.
Lloyd: "DAD?!"

With Mithos nowhere to be found, everyone has no choice but to plan where to search next. After an unexpected run-in with Lloyd's father, Kratos, they now have a lead to Mithos could possible be. Now, all three teams are now one alliance, but will it be enough to stop Mithos and Barlog from conquering the world?

To be continued...
