Golden Sun: The Novelization
Hey all EndlessStrife here. Im going to take a break from Kingdom Hearts: A Wonderful Life? I will update that fanfic from time to time but right now Im working on this so I wont forget...I've been itching to always do this. This is the Story of Golden Sun...only more character development and Mudshipping involved. There is Valeshipping in the early chapters but that's because Mia hasn't come yet. Also thank the gods to people who do gamescripts, this novelization wouldn't be very accurate with out them.
Now on with the story...
Vale, Past, 3 years ago
In the middle of a stormy night a boy laid asleep...blissful unaware of what is going on within his home village, Vale. For a huge boulder was falling towards the town as he sleeps, threatening the safety of the entire village. Thunder would illuminate the little room of his now and then. A women with golden blond hair quickly raced up the stairs and attempts to wake up the boy.
"The Mount Aleph boulder is going to fall! Come on Isaac. We have to go...now!" The women says urgently.
The boy who the women referred to as Isaac slowly got out of bed, and tried to process this new information about the boulder. He followed the what seemed to be his mother towards the stairs, she suddenly stopped, while looking out of the window she said: "Its pouring outside! Don't go out without your tunic!" She suddenly performs a ability Isaac knows full well, 'Catch', to grab a tunic off a holding rack and gives it to Isaac. The two then continues to race out of the house, Isaac's mother stopped once again and asked him, "Have you got everything you need?"
"Yes" Isaac replies, he was never the one to talk much.
"Good for you, Isaac. A lost possession can be replaced; a lost life can't."
Before exiting the house, a man burst through the front door. "Issac, Dora, hurry! The boulder could fall at any second!" he told them, before heading back out the door. Following him out into the stormy weather was Dora and Issac.
"Kyle...will they be able to stop the boulder?" Dora asked the man known as Kyle, Isaac's father.
"I don't think so...not for long, anyway...you two go on ahead and take refuge in the plaza" Kyle replied.
"Aren't you coming?" Dora asked worriedly.
"I need to help evacuate the other villagers," Kyle said grimly.
"Let me help you, Kyle!" Dora pleaded.
"It's too dangerous, Dora. Please just take good care of Isaac!" Kyle said with a sad smile.
"Isaac is old enough to get to the plaza on his own," Dora stated, turning to face Isaac now she asks, "You can find your way, can't you, Isaac?"
"Yes" Isaac one worded answered once again.
"You know the way...just go south to get to the plaza. Be careful!" Dora warned, before watching Isaac run off, seconds later Dora and Kyle make their way to help evacuate the remaining villagers.
Running south like Dora told Isaac to, he continued until a boulder comes out of nowhere and almost ends the life of our main protagonist. Isaac attempts to find a way around the boulder...but to no avail. Sighing, Isaac turned around and had no choice but to go north. However moments later he finds a red haired boy, pulling with all his might on a length of rope tied to a treasure chest.
"Garet?" Isaac said, to get his attention
"Ugh...Hrnghhh...," Garet grunted while pulling his chest, "...Isaac, what do you want? Im tying to save my things! What, you want me to just dump my stuff?"
"Yes," Isaac replied flatly, it seemed so obvious to him.
"You think I should forget these things and save my own life? You know, you're right!" Garet said, finally seeing the light, "Ok! Lets get out of here."
Garet proceeded to follow Isaac after that.
As Isaac and Garet tried to cross a nearby bridge, a yell could be heard from the north.
"Ahhh! The boulder! It's falling!"
From what Isaac and Garet could see a bunch of priest like people in the village was holding the huge boulder up, with psynergy. It looked like they were really struggling. "Hey you think they're tired?" Garet asked.
"...Yes" Isaac answered Garet...who really doesn't seem to get the term 'stupid questions'.
"Ugh...ughnn...it's too heavy! We can't hold it for long! If our Psynergy runs out, Vale will be destroyed! We have to hold on until the villagers are safe!"
Isaac and Garet hear another yelling voice, only directed at them this time. "Hurry boys! Run! It's just a little farther!"
"Come on Isaac, run!" Garet said, as he ran towards the end or the bridge, "The boulder is coming!"
Isaac caught up to Garet and was making their way to the plaza when fate decided to be a bitch and almost killed the two boys with another big boulder. Isaac sighed again, turning around and beckoning Garet to follow, he suddenly says "We can't get around this rock! We'll have to find another way."
"Thanks for stating the obvious Garet" Isaac thought, taking another, longer route to get to the plaza.
After running a for a couple of minutes, they found an alternative route, but a nearby injured man nearby yells out to the two. "Rockslide...destroyed fence...Monsters everywhere...I'm hurt pretty badly...do you think I'll die?"
"Sorry to say buddy, but yes" Garet says without a second thought, or a first one at that...
"No" Isaac said surly, (A/N HA he said something other than yes!) He knew this man was going to live.
"This is awful. I'm stuck here for the monsters to...wait...that's strange...I'm not hurt at all! But I'm serious about the monsters, so be careful on your way to the plaza!" the man says, running off.
After another brief moment of running, Isaac and Garet heard the voice of a screaming girl near the waterfall. Isaac's heart skipped a beat, he knew that voice anywhere...it had to be Jenna's...he's only had a crush for her since he was like six.
"Oh no! My brother!" the girl's voice screamed.
Isaac and Garet look over to a household, villagers, as well as Dora and Kyle, were on the dock shouting words of encouragement to a boy caught in the raging waters of the river.
"Hang on Felix!" Kyle shouted.
"Felix will be alright. We'll find a way to save him..." Dora assured the girl.
Suddenly it looked like things turned for the worst. Felix disappeared under the current of water. Raising alarm on everyone on the dock . "Nooooo! Felix!" the girl screamed.
When the raging rapids died down a little it revealed Felix was still holding on for dear life.
"The rope wont reach," Kyle said grimly, "...We should use psynergy. Do you have any left?"
"I've used all of mine up. What about you Kyle?" a man beside Kyle replied.
"I'm drained from helping the other villagers..." Kyle said sadly.
"We need help," Dora stated as a matter of fact.
"Can Felix hang on long enough for us to find help?" Kyle asked.
"There's nothing else we can do for him here, is there?" Dora replied.
"Then go get help, but be as quick as possible!" Kyle pleaded.
"Jenna, can you go too? You'll go find help, right?" the man beside Kyle asked.
"Your brother's counting on you, Jenna. All right, lets get going!" Dora assured Jenna.
Jenna and Dora both run from the dock to find help. "I'll go north...you head for the plaza alright?" Dora told Jenna.
"Yes ma'am. We're looking for anyone with psynergy left, right?" Jenna asked Dora to make sure, before running of to find assistance. Dora ran a little before bumping in to Isaac and Garet.
"Isaac! You saw what happened?"
"Yes," Isaac replied.
"I have to get help before Felix drowns! I don't suppose...could the two of you help me?" Dora asked.
"Yes," Isaac said again.
"Jenna has gone to the plaza to get help. Go join her." Dora instructed, afterwards she ran northbound, leaving Isaac and Garet to join Jenna in the plaza.
Minutes later Isaac and Garet arrive at the plaza, where most of the villagers were gathered. There they find Jenna talking to some of the adult men in the plaza. "Go aid the elders! The boulder is to heavy for them to hold up much longer." the eldest one there said.
"We can't let the Mount Aleph boulder destroy our village," one of the men said valiantly.
"Lets go help the elders." Another one said.
"We're counting on you," the eldest one said. Two of the three men ran off to combat the boulder.
Garet ran ahead and greeted the elder and Jenna, "Grandpa! Jenna!"
"Garet...Isaac...you came to help me?" Jenna asked.
Garet grinned, while Isaac lowered his head, to hide a slight blush.
"Jenna told me about Felix. Is that why you're here?" Garet's grandfather asked.
"Yes," Isaac replied.
"Good boys! Jenna could use a hand," Garet's grandfather said.
"Great! Im all charged up!" the third man who had been touching the giant psynergy stone said.
"How are you? Have you recovered your psynergy?" Garets grandfather asks?
"Enough to save Felix," the man replied.
"Ok, Jenna, you heard him. Now hurry back! The path may be blocked by fallen rocks. You can show them they way!" Garet's grandfather ordered.
"...Thank you, Isaac," Jenna said.
"N-no problem," Isaac stuttered, lowering his head to hide his blush once again.
"Just leave it to us!" Garet said proudly.
After backtracking all the way back to the dock, they were on the bridge just before reaching the house.
"Mom! Dad! We're Back!" Jenna yelled.
"Is that you, Jenna?" Dora asked
"Yes ma'am..." Jenna replied.
"I couldn't find anyone who could help...How did you do?" Dora asked...then noticing Isaac, Garet and a village man was accompaining her, "You're just in time."
"Then my brother is still..." Jenna started.
"Felix is alright. He's hanging in there. Come down here, so we can save Felix!" Dora yelled to the four on the bridge.
Seconds later however, all seemed to turn for the worst. The ground violently shakes, confusing the party of four, not to mention all the people at the docks. To all of their horrors, the Mount Aleph Boulder was coming down at a frightening speed, bouncing off the cliff sides. The boulder then lands between a section of the dock and where Felix was hanging on for dear life. Kyle, Felix, and Jenna's parents were gone with the boulder.
Isaac, being the first to recover from the shock, stood up and raced in the direction of the plaza. Moments later Garet got up, looking around he didnt find Issac. "Isaac...I cant let him go alone...it's times like these that we men have to stand together!" Garet said...letting his big male ego get the best of him.
Running after awhile...Isaac hear unfamiliar voices, he stopped to listen for a bit.
"Only the two of us survived..." A masculine voice said.
"How could we predict Sol Sanctum would unleash such fury?" this time a feminine one asked.
"It's a miracle that even the two of use were spared..." the male one said.
"That switch...it must have been a trap..." the female one muttered.
"But to think it could conjure up a storm this powerful!" the male one said in disbelief.
"...Another demonstration of the awesome power of Alchemy." said the female one.
"Regardless, we must not fail the next time we challenge Sol Sanctum," the male one stated.
"Next time, we shall certainly..." The female one started, before Garet came and got their attention.
"Isaac, wait!" Garet yelled...of all the times! Isaac thought
The weird looking man finally took notice of Isaac. "You were eavesdropping on us just now...weren't you?"
"Yes," Isaac said...he wasnt one to lie.
"Isaac...Isaac, they look scary...are you sure you should be talking to them?" Garet questioned, definitely scared. So was Isaac but he didn't show it.
The man and the women jump down from the cliff they were talking together on.
"You must forget everything you heard" She said threateningly.
"Don't worry..." the Man said with a disturbing smirk, "...We'll help you forget!"
And thus Isaac and Garet entered a battle with the two enigmas. They have faced small creatures and beat them with ease...however, they were way out of their league. With one attack Garet fell to the ground beside Isaac.
"Garet!"
"You're next..." the man said, "Oh and just to make sure you shut up permanently...you're not ever going to talk again."
All Isaac could see before he went unconcious, was him casting some weird magic then the dull part of his blade connecting with his head...then all went black.
Well how do you like it so far? Please review. Im hoping to have chapter two done by the end of the next day but no promises. So like I said Review!
(DONT READ IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS) For your information...that magic casted on Isaac will make him mute...as in he really cant talk anymore. Even if there options like Yes or No in the game, its going to be a nod from here on in.
