A Tales of Symphonia story

Chapter 3

After dealing with the monsters, Marta and everyone else got Emil and May to a doctor. Luckily the doctor said that they were going to be fine after some rest but the question as to how may turned into a blade was on everyone's mind.

"What do you guys think happened?" Genis wondered curiously

"I'm not sure, i've never experience anything like it before. A child turning into a weapon? I've never heard such a thing." Raine answered unsure

"Neither have i." Lloyd answered

"Do you know anything Marta?" Genis asked

"No, this is the first time i've ever seen something like this. If i knew may could do that, i would have mentioned it a while ago." Marta answered

"Who is may anyway?" Colette wondered curiously

Genis and Marta explain what they know about May to Lloyd and Colette.

"Abandoned near Lake Sinoa? Why would someone do that?" Lloyd wondered

"I don't know. May looks like a normal girl but the fact that she can turn into a weapon kind of scares me because of her power. You saw how strong her blade form was, it killed it in one strike while our attacks just bounced off it." Marta admitted

"Well, we don't know the limits of her strength as a blade. So it's best if we investigate the situation." Raine suggested

"What do you mean?" Marta wondered with concern

"May is actIng like a child when really she's a weapon. I think it would be best if we try to find her origins." Raine explained

"What are you saying!? You think someone turned May into a weapon!?" Marta insinuated

"I'm not insinuating that but we can't rule out the possibility." Raine answered

"That's insane! Who would turn such an innocent girl into a weapon!?" Marta questioned with anger

"Marta, calm down." Colette suggested.

Marta does was colette suggests and calms down a bit

"I'm sorry." Marta apologized with a bit composed

"By the way Lloyd, we still need an explanation on why your were here with colette." Genis mentioned

"Oh right. Well earlier today, i made a quick stop at Triet, while at triet, i noticed Colette. After that, i told her that i was going to Iselia for a bit and she wanted to come with." Lloyd explained

"Interesting." Raine said intrigued

"Besides, i forgot how fun it was to travel around the world with friends." Lloyd mentioned

"Same here with me and Emil." Marta mentioned

"Mm..." may moaned

"May!" Marta said with concern

May sits up on the bed Rubbing her eyes

"What happened?" May wondered

"You and Emil saved us from that wyrm." Marta answered

"E...il? Small gasp! Daddy!" May said before realizing something

"May, calm down. He's asleep but he'll wake up." Marta assured may

"May? Can i something?" Raine asked

"Sure." May answered depressed

"Do you remember anything before Meeting Emil and Marta?" Raine asked curiously

"No. I don't remember anything..." may answered unsure

Raine sighs a little

"...wait... i remember... i remember seeing a desk. Then... i opened a drawer... then there's a hand that grabbed my arm... now..." may remembered before grabbing her head in pain

"Leave her alone Raine! You're going to do the same you did to Emil before he realized he was ratatosk!" Marta demanded

"Marta, the more know about her origins the better. Granted, i am doing the same i did to Emil, but the situation is different than from 2 years ago." Raine told Marta.

"I don't care! Don't interrogate May!" Marta said defensively

"Alright, be that way. If you don't want to know where May came then i'll live with your decision." Raine told Marta before exiting the room.

"Why are you so Defensive?" Genis wondered.

"I... i don't know. When i heard Raine wanting to know more about May's origins and that she's a weapon, i just felt my anger building up. Same when she was doing the same thing to may she did to Emil 2 years ago." Marta answered unsure

"I believe what you are experiencing what you humans call "motherly love"." Tenebrae suggested

"That's not funny tenebrae." Lloyd told him

"Who said i was trying to be funny? I was being completely serious." Tenebrae clarified

"How so?" Colette wondered

"She was protecting may. A mother would do anything to make sure her child is unharmed." Tenebrae explained

"It kind of explains why she was being so defensive." Lloyd admitted

"Maybe." Marta said.

Later on in the day, Emil managed to wake up but all he could remember was being hit by the wyrm. Genis and Lloyd explain to Emil what happened after being knocked out. When Emil found out what may did when he was knocked out, he decided to practice with may to see if she could do it at will.

"Alright may. Turn into a blade." Emil ordered

May tries but nothing happens.

"I can't do it daddy." May told Emil.

"Yes you can, clear your mind and focus on turning into a blade." Emil told May.

May does what she is told and manages to turn into a blade. Emil then walked up to the blade and picked it up,

"I knew you could do it." Emil told her

Emil gives the blade a few swings.

"Light." Emil noticed

Emil walks up to a tree and swings his sword. The tree was cut clean in half.

"Pretty strong too." He noticed

The sword glows and may reverts back into her human form.

"You did great may, do you think you can do it at will?" Emil praised before asking.

"Maybe." She answered unsure.

Emil pats her head gentle, then takes her hand.

"Come on, let's go back to everyone." Emil told May.

"Okay." May agreed

So Emil and May went back to everyone else. The next day, they started to plan their next move.

"So, Raine, what are you going to do?" Emil asked curiously

"I'm thinking about check out some of the old human ranches. May's origins may reside in one of them." Raine answered

"I'm going with raine. Two sets of eyes are better than one." Genis added

"What about you three?" Raine asked

"We might head to Mizuho to see sheena, and maybe Altamira to see regal." Marta answered

"What are you going to do Lloyd?" Raine asked

"I might go with Emil and Marta. Seems like they have their hands full may and might need help." Lloyd answered

"I was thinking the same thing." Colette admitted

"Well, now that we know where we're going. Let's meet up in Altamira." Raine suggested

"Sure." Emil agreed.

Soon enough they went their separate ways.

Meanwhile...

"So this is the spirit ratatosk. Interesting. As much as i want to see his fight capabilities, recovering that girl comes first." Said a woman with blond hair intrigued
