Tales of Symphonia Story 12

QUIZ START: "What's wrong with your wife? Has she been taken hostage or something?" asked Lloyd,
"Hostage? Don't make me laugh. If you want to see my wife..." then G.G.Dorr walked over to a bit of wall with a tarp covering it, and yanked it down. "She's right here!!" The removed tarp revealed a monster just like the one Marble had been turned into trapped in a cage, only this ones skin was blue instead of green. Kratos gasped when he saw the monster,
"Ah! Wh...what's that monster!?" asked Genis, taking a slight step back.
"She's crying...she's crying out in pain..." started Colette, "You mustn't call her a monster!"
"You don't mean..." starts Lloyd. You stared at the monster, hearing her loud sobbing, and she was screaming at Dorr
"Thats right, this is what's become of my wife Clara!"
"...She's right...I hear her" you agree, looking at Clara sadly, "She...she's mad at you Dorr, 'How...how could you do this to the people of this city!? Id rather stay a monster than see you doing this...Why....why...'." you tell him,
"What!? L-liar!! You can't hear anything she's saying!" G.G.Dorr insisted. He was in denial.
"Yes she can!" Genis yelled at him defensively

"So thats why you told everyone she passed away..." Raine surmised.
"My father, the previous Governor General, was a fool, because of his defiant stance against the Desians, they killed him, and planted a demon seed in my wife as a warning. If I cooperate with them, they will give me the medicine to save her."
"But....that means your betraying the people of this city!!" Genis told him.
"What do I care? We'll never escape the rule of the Desians anyway."
"Colette will...the chosen will save the world!" Lloyd said
"The Chosen's journey of regeneration is not absolute. Don't forget that the last one ended in failure! Besides the people of this city are satisfied with my way. They just don't know I'm working for the Desians." G. G. Dorr said, like it was no big deal,
"Shut up! What do you mean your 'way'?!?" Lloyd screamed at him, "I'm sorry about your wife, but think of all those people who believed in you, only to be sent off to the ranch! Any of them could have wound up just like your wife!"
"Silence boy! Stop acting like your justice is absolute!" G. G. Dorr demanded,
"Where do you get off? Don't even start spewing the word 'justice'! I hate that word! If you wanted to help your wife, you should have resigned your position as Governor to search for a cure, or help, or something!! You're a worthless jerk who couldn't give up his social status, even for his own wife!"
"Lloyd stop, not everyone is strong enough to stand up against the Desians, please stop this!" Colette told him.
"Colette..."
"stop......" you murmur softly, but you weren't talking to Dorr. You were talking to Clara... she was whimpering, and begging....begging to be...
"What if we go and get the medicine you mentioned? Then you wouldn't have to side with the Desians anymore." Colette suggested,
"You...forgive me for what I've done?"
"It's not our place to forgive you, thats up to the people of this city. But I know Martel will forgive you. The Goddess Martel is always within you, awaiting your own personal regeneration."
"Within me?..."

"Absurd!" exclaimed Kilia suddenly, then she walked up to G.G.Dorr, and delt him a fatal blow to the side, "The Goddess Martel would never lend her aid to an inferior human being!" she told you all.
"What are you doing!" asked Lloyd, shocked,
"How could you do that to your own father!?" demanded Genis.
"Thats a laugh!" said Kilia, then she went through some....weird transformation and she turned in2 a tall purple...thing with yellow horns. "I am a servant of Pronyma, leader of the Five Grand Cardinals, who rule over the Desians. I was merely assigned to observe the new human cultivation technique, developed by Magnius. Theres no way a superior half-elf such as I, could have a fool of a father like this!"
"A...fool of a father?" said Colette.
"Just look at him! He didn't even notice that his own daughter was dead...because he was to busy chasing after a medicine that doesnt exist...in order to save his monster wife! Hahahahahaha!"
"You!..." said Lloyd, enraged
"How could you!?" said Colette.

"This can't be..." gasped Kilia, while she fell to the ground "Fine...then I'll set this monster free, and let it kill you!" She pulls her self to the cell, and unlocked it. Then she literally disappears. The monster walked out of the cell
"No, not again!...Do we have to kill another innocent victim?" said Lloyd. You hear her talking,
'Please, help me!!'
"..." you don't say anything
"Aura...?" asked Colette. Clara is about to hit Lloyd, when you exclaim
"Clara, Wait! Please, stop!!" the monster stopped. It stood there for a second, then it ran away,
"W-wait!" called Genis
"Is...Kilia safe?" asked G.G.Dorr from where he was lying on the floor
"Kilia is..." started Genis,
"Don't worry it seems your real daughter is fine." Lloyd told him.
"Lloyd!" Genis said.
"I see, you....your name is Lloyd?" Dorr asked weakly,
"Yeah..." the boy agreed,
"Professor Sage, Aura please help him!" You both go up to him, and try to use your healing powers. You both do your best... but its no good. After a second, you both stand back up, you look away, and Raine shakes her head slowly.
"Please...please save Chocolate." asked G.G.Dorr "That poor girl...she was just used as a tool to lure you out." He gave Lloyd a 'Card Key' "The pass code is...3341." he explained.
"Got it." Lloyd assured.

"And...I know this is a selfish request but...if you somehow find a way to save my wife, please help her return to her human form. When my daughter comes back I don't want her to be alone." he explained weakly,
"...Okay, I promise." Lloyd agreed, Genis gave him a look that asked 'why did you do that?', but Lloyd didn't do anything.
"Thank you...." said G.G.Dorr...then...he died.
"...Lets get going." Kratos asked, turning towards the door.
"Kratos! How can you just say that!?" demanded Lloyd. Clara said something else to you....
'I'd rather die, or kill myself, than see you helping the Desians. You can hear me, girl... I know you probably don't like the idea, but you must kill me! Please!' You just stared blankly at Clara's empty cell, feeling your gut and throat tighten when you thought of Marble... You couldn't, no, you wouldn't ever do what you did to Marble again. You felt a knot in your throat tighten when you thought about what you did to her *Marble... I'm so sorry...*
"Settle down Lloyd, what is it we must do now?" Kratos asked him, there was a touch of gentleness in his voice now.
"...Save Chocolate, and regenerate the world." the boy agreed reluctantly,
"Thats correct... Hmm...?" Kratos noticed you standing over in the corner. Also how quiet you had been, and how you were standing alone. He walked over to you and lightly rested a hand on your shoulder. You jerk your head up abruptly,
"Huh? What...?" you look back at him,
"...We're leaving." he explained gently.
"....." you nodded once.
"We will wait outside." Kratos told Lloyd and the others, gently pushing you towards the stairs. You followed him in silence while the boy nodded. Once outside you sat on the steps leading to Dorr's office. Kratos stood almost directly behind you,
"What's wrong?" he asked, breaking the haunting silence which had fallen over the whole town. "Clara said something else to you...didn't she?"
"......." his hand rested on your shoulder when you didn't response.
"....Aura?"
"...Its nothing..." you tell him half heartedly, shrugging off his hand. You stood as the others came outside.
