Hello people, this is why I haven't updated anything in the past two weeks.
Ed:But you didn't start writing this until last night.
Well, I had to beat Abyss first.
Anise:You beat it last Wednesday.
Umm….I wanted to beat my Golden Sun Abyss file to get my muse.
Ed:Your on Kolima Forest!
SHUT UP AND DO THE DISCLAIMER!
Jade:Miathewateralchemist does not own Tales of the Abyss or Golden Sun because if she did, it would be as bad as Anise being Fon Master.
Anise:Hey!
Okay now time for beginning information.
Okay first off, regarding the ending to Abyss, okay it takes place after the end of the game, but, Luke is Luke and not Luke/Asch. And Asch is alive. Why, because that's the way it is to me. And so far, the only pairings are Natalia/Asch and Luke/Tear.
The Golden Sun storyline may suffer some major changes, for I am using it as a guiding line more than a script.
Timelines have been compacted and stretched. And also, Luke and Guy are both 17, Anise is 13 and Jade is…okay I don't know, lets just say 30's.
Script will only be used for skits, of which I will include many of in this story.
And now, my first chapter rant is over, enjoy.
The sharp winter air cut clean through the coliseum. The entire crowd was silent in anticipation as the warriors entered the stadium.
"Okay, now it's time to meet our four brave challengers," The arena M.C. started, "First we have the Noble Guy!" The entire crowd went silent, except for a person mumbling something about demon birdies, as a blond noble from Malkuth entered the arena. "Second we have, Anise the Lucky." Moderate clapping and applause went up as a thirteen-year old girl wearing a pink dress with two black pigtails neatly tied in back, over the clearly demented stuffed animal. "Third we have Jade the Vam-" the M.C. stopped herself once she realized she was doing, "I mean, Jade the Necromancer!" Angry shouts went up as a Cbbbolonel in his mid-thirties with long brown hair wearing blue with glasses covering his red eyes entered the arena. "And the final contestant of this brave party, Luke the Idiot of Lor-Hey, who wrote this," the M.C. said stopping herself again. "I mean, Luke the Swordsman of Lorelei." Little applause went up as the redhead entered the arena, nearly completing the group of four.
Anise turned to Jade, "Colonel, what did you do this time?"
"Nothing," Jade said chuckling to himself, "I just gave Luke the title he deserves."
"I can't disagree with you there." Anise replied.
"Hey…What!?!" Luke said with a startled look on his face.
"Nothing, Luke, I love you." Anise said with a creepy smile on her face. Luke could have sworn that when she coughed, he heard something like 'and your money.'
"Oh my…" The M.C. started again, "It seems that this party has a fifth member. Will all please give their applause to, Mieu the Cute."
The crowd went into wild applause as the little blue creature with huge ears, white at the tip, and the sorcerer's ring on his stomach entered.
"Master, are they cheering for me?" The little blue creature asked turning to Luke.
LUKE! WAKE UP!!!
"What?" Luke said beginning to stir.
THE MOUNT ALEPH BOULDER IS GOING TO FALL! WAKE UP!
Luke woke up only to find his stepmother over his head, shouting something about a bolder.
"Florian can take care of it, a Daathic fonic arte can easily take care of it," Luke said, turning over to go back to sleep.
"LUKE! This is not funny, there is a giant boulder about to fall and kill you, and your worried about FLOWERS?!?"
"Fine, I'll get out of the way of the boulder."
Near the stairs Luke realized one of the scariest things of his life.
"I have to go back," he stated firmly, "I forgot the Key of Lor-"
"I don't care what it is," Dora started screaming, "Is it really worth risking your life for?" she finished, pushing him down the stairs.
Outside, Luke found things weren't that different from St.Binah, aside from the evil robot. People were running around panicking, the city was a disaster zone. Well, I'd better get Guy he thought to himself.
Up the road, he found that Guy was trying to pull a treasure chest with a rope.
"What are you trying to move, Guy?"
"Oh these, these are all our weapons. All our swords, everyone of them but the Key." Guy stated matter-of-factly.
"Shouldn't we, try to save our lives before we worry about weapons?"
Guy paused for a second before answering, "You're right, but what if we run into monsters or something?"
"Well, then why don't we just grab two random ones from the pile or something," Luke answered.
"That works for me," Guy said as they both grabbed their swords from the pile.
They started working their way down to the Plaza, dodging various flying boulders and monsters. About halfway down near the dock, they found people clumped together looking worried and anxious. Suddenly, the two teenagers heard a female voice pierce the silence, "Oh no, Felix. Will my brother be okay?" They looked down to see Felix hanging on to a post near the river, being watched by anxious citizens and a worried Jenna.
"What's going on?"
"Felix fell in the river," Luke's mom replied.
"Oh no, isn't there anything we can do?" Guy said with a worried look on his face.
"Well, we could probably get him out if we could find somebody with enough psyenergy, could you two go down to the plaza and get somebody to help?"
"Of course, anything we can do to help," Luke replied.
When the three reached the plaza, they found Greg by the psyenergy stone, fully charged.
"All right, ready to go," he said, flexing his muscles.
"Will Felix be all right?" Jenna asked with another worried look on her face.
"I am sure that Felix will be fine, Jenna" The mayor said reassuring her.
"Yes, but the less time we waste, the better chance we have of saving him." Luke said hastily.
They crossed the bridge in a hurry, determined to get to Felix as fast as they could. But, that was when it happened. Luke gasped, Guy cursed himself, Jenna shivered, the boulder was falling. Everything seemed to happen in slow motion, when Luke regained his sanity; he realized he was on the riverbank. Felix, along with Jenna's parents, had been hit by the boulder. Everybody seemed to be too shocked to do anything.
Oh no…
Again.
This is just like Akzeriuth,
But this isn't Akzeriuth,
There is still time,
I can still get help.
I have to go find help.
As Luke rounded the corner, he heard voices. He could clearly make out a male and a female one, curious; he decided to listen.
"Only the two of us survived." The male voice said sharply.
"Who could have anticipated that Sol Sanctum would unleash such a fury." The female voice responded coldly.
"Regardless next time we cannot fail Sol Sanctum. Next time we shall surely…"
Suddenly, Luke heard a third voice. He was horrified however, to realize that it had not come from above on the ledge, but instead from his best friend who was rushing to him. Luke put a finger over his mouth and tried too 'shh', but it was too late. The unidentified man and woman advanced towards the two swordsmen threateningly. Now that they had a good look at them, they realized they weren't human. They appeared to be some sort of…dragon race?
"You weren't eavesdropping, were you?" The man said.
"Um…No, we were just walking this way, and…" Luke replied, horrified by the two strangers.
"You must forget everything you heard." They obviously hadn't believed their story, just great.
"Don't worry, we'll help you forget." The blue man said, charging them.
"Luke, its okay, don't worry we have our nice…MACHETES?!?" Guy looked down, horrified at his weapon choice. A machete-a blade used for chores, of all the nice and pretty weapons, of all the weapons with nice sharp blades, a machete.
"Wow, Guy, that is bad, but don't worry, at least I grabbed a…WOODEN SWORD?!?" Yes a wooden sword, the one sword in the pile that was less threatening then the machete.
The mystery woman threw a fireball, knocking Guy unconscious as he it the cliff. "Guy, are you okay?" Luke shouted, trying to get an answer from his best friend. He noticed somebody charging him and turned. Luke tried his best to parry all of the dragon man's attacks, but was unused to using the sword and battling without artes. Parry, step, parry, step, step, step, parry, Luke kept telling himself, just remember everything you learned from fighting, remember everything from the battle with Asch. Finally, the mystery man had enough and charged Luke full speed, Luke blocked the attacked, but the force of the blow sent him flying into the cliff wall and out of consciousness. Only one thought crossed his mind as his vision began to blur…
Tear, I'm sorry.
