The Transparent Djinni

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own Golden Sun, the GBA game. You should get it, though!

Author's Notes: This my *first* attempt at writing a FanFiction to a game…an almost brand new game, might I add. So…be easy on me, kay? Enjoy!

"Take that back, Ivan! Or I'll give you one hell of a bad injury!" Garet yelled, holding up one fist menacingly.

"I was only saying that you should stop trying to show off!" Ivan replied, on the ground, his left hand touching his now-bruised jaw. "No one pays attention, anyway!"

"Obviously, you did! Or you wouldn't be telling me right now to stop!" and at that, Garet delivered a hard kick to Ivan's side, which caused the boy to roll backward, crying out sharply with the pain.

"Stop it, Garet! You're hurting him!" Mia pulled at Garet's arm, trying to get him to back off. But she was rewarded with being thrown onto the ground.

"Of course I'm hurting him! I'm trying to! At least until he takes that back!" and Garet kicked Ivan again, making him whimper with the pain.

"Ivan!" Mia crawled over to the Wind Seer, and helped him to sit up, then looked at Garet. "Stop it! Please!" she cried out to him.

"What if I don't?!" Garet yelled down at her, taking a menacing step forward.

"Garet! Stop it, now!" Isaac ran over in front of Garet, shoving him backward. "Get away from them!"

"What do you know, Isaac?! You don't know anything, that's what!" Garet stared at his friend, but was forced to look downward at his friend's glare.

"Go sit…somewhere!" Isaac yelled. Garet muttered something and walked over to a log, sitting down by the fire.

Isaac walked over to Mia and helped her up to her feet, then helped Ivan up. He held out a hand and cast Cure on Ivan's little wounds.

"Thank you, Isaac." Ivan said, smiling.

Mia looked at Garet for a moment, then turned to Isaac, "Garet's strange somehow…he is acting differently than normal."

Isaac nodded, "I've noticed, Mia…but I think he should have some time to himself."

"Maybe you're right…" she said uncertainly.

"Don't worry about him," Isaac smiled, and she smiled back.

Suddenly, Ivan started, "Did you see that?!" The bushes rustled.

"See what, Ivan?" Mia asked, and looked at the bushes.

"It…it looked like a Djinni!" Ivan exclaimed.

"That's near to impossible, Ivan." Isaac said. "We have been searching everywhere for more Djinni, but it seems we have gotten them all."

"I swear! I saw it!"

Isaac sighed, "Okay, Ivan…we'll look. But if we don't find anything, let's forget about it, okay?" Ivan nodded.

"What about Garet?" Mia asked, looking at Isaac's childhood friend.

"Maybe someone should stay with him." Ivan said, looking up at Isaac.

"Alright…Mia? Do you want to?" Isaac looked at her.

She nodded, "Okay." Then she walked over to Garet, and sat beside him. Garet only barely looked at her.

"Let's go, Ivan." Isaac said, and started walking. Ivan followed at his side, looking around the forest.

Mia looked at Garet, "Garet? Are you okay?" She moved closer to him, concerned when he didn't respond. She laid a gentle hand onto his right shoulder. "Garet?"

He jumped. Before thinking, he grabbed her wrist and twisted, then threw her onto the ground. She cried out in pain when she hit the packed earth, and his eyes widened when he saw what he had done.

"Mia!" He jumped down and kneeled beside her. "Oh, geez…I'm sorry!" He tried to help her up, but she cried out softly, and he stopped.

"My arm…" she said quietly, and he looked. It was twisted in a weird manner. Not at all how an arm should be bent. She tried to move it, but she couldn't.

"Oh, crud…I'm so sorry. Just stay still! I'll go get Isaac." he told her. She nodded, whimpering softly. "Hold on!" he crawled to get to his feet, and bolted the way he saw Isaac and Ivan go.

Isaac looked around. "See? There's nothing around here, Ivan."

Ivan sighed, "I guess you're right, Isaac…but I could have sworn I saw it!"

"Maybe you're seeing things, Ivan."

"I don't think so. Oh well." Ivan sighed again.

"Let's get back to camp and see how Garet is doing, okay?" Isaac looked down at Ivan, who was still scanning the forest with his eyes. Then he nodded.

"Okay."

"Isaac! ISAAC!" Garet's voice yelled, and soon they saw his body, running toward them, all out of breath. He ran to them, tears in his eyes that were threatening to leak out.

"Garet, what's wrong?" Ivan asked, looking at him with concern written into his eyes.

"Mia…it's Mia…I hurt her! She's at the camp…Isaac, you need to cure her!" Garet sobbed, wiping frantically at his eyes.

"Garet…" Isaac looked at him.

"Just go! Hurry!" Garet yelled, and started running back. Isaac and Ivan ran after him.

"Mia!" Ivan yelled, running to her. He looked at her arm, then up to Garet. "Why did you do this?!" he yelled.

"Ivan…he didn't…mean to." Mia said softly.

"I'm sorry…I didn't want to…" Garet sobbed.

"It's okay, Garet…Ivan, back up." Isaac said. Ivan did so, and he crouched beside Mia. "This is going to hurt, Mia. I need to move your arm to heal it." Mia nodded. Isaac lifted her arm as gently as he could, and put it back in place. She cried out with the sharp pain. "Sorry…okay, here we go." He placed his hands over her arm, and cast Cure Well. The arm snapped back into place, and she whimpered, then the pain was gone.

"Ivan…I'm okay. You can back up now." Mia said. Ivan turned red, and backed up from his hug. Garet was still sobbing, his face covered by his hands. He was seated on a rock.

"Garet-" Mia started, but was interrupted by a bush rustling. She turned to it. Isaac walked up to the bush, and reached in.

"OW!" he cried out, retreating his hand. "Something bit me!" Suddenly, a Djinni jumped out of the bush, and growled.

"See! I told you!" Ivan exclaimed.

Garet stood up, wiping his eyes, "It…it doesn't look friendly."

"It's…it's transparent!" Mia said, looking at the thing. Then, it jumped at them all, shrieking highly. Mia cried out, barely dodging it.

"Mia!" Ivan yelled. He held up his staff and free hand, and concentrated. He cast his Plasma Bolt Psynergy onto the Djinni, and was amazed when the Djinni dodged it easily. "How…how can it do that?!"

"I don't know!" Garet said, and quickly cast a Volcano on it. The Psynergy attack barely scratched it.

"How can it be so strong?" Mia said, getting to her feet. "It's like we are nothing but insects to it."

"We need to try and defeat it." Isaac said. Concentrating heavily, he raised his arms and cast his Psynergy. He cast Ragnarok, and the giant sword fell upon the Djinni. But it came out of the attack with no harm done to it. "Wha…?"

"That's it…come on out, Fever!" Garet said. The Mars Djinni came out into his hand, and he used it's power to help delude his enemy. His sword glowed a bright red, and he jumped at the transparent Djinni. He brought his broadsword down onto it, Fever's energy causing more damage. Unfortunately, it did not delude it, but it made the transparent Djinni get some damage.

"Gust!" Ivan called out. The Jupiter Djinni came out, and attacked with repeated whirlwinds. The transparent Djinni was barely affected.

"I summon Kirin!" Garet called out. He faded, and the great fire beast came out. It ran by and attacked the Djinni, then the flames behind it did some damage.

"Keep it up!" Isaac yelled, and he cast Quake Sphere. They could tell that finally, the transparent Djinni was weakening. It was still very strong, however.

"Gah!" Ivan yelled, when he was hit back by a strong wind attack from the Djinni. Mia ran to him, and cast Ply Well.

"Almost…" Isaac said, standing beside Garet. Then, without any warning, a bolt of lightning came down on all of them, including the transparent Djinni. Soon, all went black.
