Tipping The Scales
Chapter I
Six figures converse with each other while looking into an orb.
"It is almost time."
"You are correct"
"Do we really want to do this? These ones, in particular, have been through so much already."
"They all have, but a time of great hardship is approaching. The ancient enemy has chosen to focus its forces on this world alone. If the fated of Gaia are to stand a chance, we must send one of them to tip the balance.
"Once again, you are correct, who shall we send?"
"It has be one of the Chosen of Venus, and the wielder of the Sol Blade will be required here. It must be him."
The figure pointed at the picture on the face of the orb.
"And so it shall be."
The figures disappeared leaving the orb as it was showing the one whose life was about to be flipped upside down. The one known as Isaac.
~~~
Outside of New Vale, two warriors squared off with each other, tense and ready to attack at a moment's notice.
*CLANG!*
Sword connected with sword as Isaac attacked the target. This opponent lifted his sword, and moved to deliver a series of swipes. Isaac raised his sword to parry it, but his opponent, sensing Isaac's next move, lowered his sword and used it to trip Isaac. Isaac fell on his back, and his enemy pointed the sword at his neck.
"And this, is the part where I cut your head off." Felix smirked.
"Dammit Felix! How'd you get so good so quickly?" Isaac said while looking up at him.
"Well, being chased by people both for and against you, generally tends to be a good motivator."
"Heh, good point."
A figure approached from behind them. "Ahem, if you boys are done playing with your toys, I believe Isaac has a prior engagement.
The two Adepts jumped, startled.
"Mia! Don't do…tha…tha…tha" Isaac stuttered
Isaac's voice faltered as his eyes drank in the sight of his beloved. Mia stood in front of him, carrying a light bag, dressed in only a bikini that showed off her figure VERY well.
"Isaac? If you're done staring, we have to go."
"G-go?"
"Yes silly, you said that we could go to the beach today. Remember?"
Forcing himself to pry his eyes off Mia, Isaac stood back and tried to think. He HAD promised her, but he'd forgotten about it when Felix offered to train with him
"Oh Mia! I'm sorry, but I completely forgot about it. I'm not really dressed for-"
"I know, that's why I brought your swimming shorts." Mia replied
Felix frowned, knowing that he'd just lost his sparring partner. He knew Isaac well enough to know that Mia could control him like a puppetmaster could a puppet, but dressed like THAT, Isaac would stop breathing if she asked him to. Not that she ever would, seeing that she was just as in love with him as he with her.
"You two have fun…," Felix said, rolling his eyes.
Mia looked at him, "You're coming too, Felix"
"Wait, you didn't go and get MY-"
"No, Jenna and Sheba did. And Sheba wants me to inform you that you are now fifty coins poorer. She also wants to say that if you don't show up, you're sleeping on the couch tonight."
"Hahahahahaha!" Isaac laughed
Felix flushed scarlet, but said nothing.
Mia tossed the clothes to the boys, "Now go ahead and get changed."
Isaac and Felix, both red, looked startled
"M-M-Mia! You're going to…?!" Isaac stuttered
Mia smiled at them, "I'm JOKING! I'll go and let you boys get changed,"
~~~
"I'll get changed here, and you can get changed over there" Felix said, pointing to a nearby tree covered with bushes.
"OK"
Isaac went over behind the bushes and began to get undressed, but spied a large black orb. Isaac poked it, but he didn't get any reaction out of it.
'What IS this thing?' he wondered
In an undistinguishable voice, the orb said "Chosen of Venus, name-Isaac, located, initiating relocation process."
Isaac stared at it, "What the hell?"
The orb realized a bright light, and when the light disappeared, both it and Isaac were gone.

N.I. Well, my first chapter. Hmmm, seemed kinda short, but maybe it'll get better with more practice.
Haze: We…err…found Serac…
N.I.: Uh-oh…what did she do?
Echo: We don't know the specifics, but we do know it involves monkeys, turnips, and the reappearance of Atlantis.
N.I.: So…needless to say, I have to bail her out, right?
Haze: Yep, it was needless to say.
N.I. How much?
Echo: Five reviews.
N.I. WHAT!?! That's a fortune! I don't even have one!
Haze: So, as usual, you need others to bail YOU out right?
N.I. Yep, and as much as I don't want to, I'm going to have to get her out. You'll help right?
Echo: You heard him, five reviews and Serac'll be free djinn, as well as a new chapter up!
R&R!
