Well, this is my first Baten Kaitos fanfic. After my friend Holy Spork brought to my
attention that there was indeed a hue shortage of BK fanfiction, I sprang to the
keyboard. Hopefully I can get some readers and writers back into this fandom...it is
such a good game, it deserves a little love. Even though I have like ten other stories
going... . Hey, it might help get me out of the block for my others...you never know.
Hope you like!
Guillo: How can they like it? I won't be in it.
Me: You're dead you idiot.
Guillo: Silence, wench!
Me: Sigh...well, could you at least say the disclaimer for me?
Guillo: Even a prancer with a sugarpill wouldn't be this nice.
Me:...What the hell does that mean?
Guillo: No idea. Freakyanimegal owns nothing.
"Wow...the trail of souls is amazing!"
Milly was looking out the window at the strange pathway. Sagi put the Sfida on autopilot and
decided to go look at the scene with her. After all, he had never been to Mira either. A thought
crossed his mind, he hadn't really kept track of time during all the crazy stuff that went on, but he
was sixteen now. Milly's eighteen, an adult. He felt a little disturbed, his best friend was
technically an adult while he was still just a kid...
"It's really strange, huh?" Sagi laughed, shaking off the thought.
"Like we haven't seen strange." Milly smirked. "But...wow..."
Are we there yet? These lights are hurting my eyes...
"Aw come on, Marno." Sagi laughed. "Enjoy the show!"
Show? The only show I ever liked was when Thoran got drunk, gods that was funny.
Sagi laughed, "I guess so."
"Uh...Sagi?" Milly stated.
Then of course, there was that time Quis-
"SAGI! MARNO!" Milly shouted. "LOOK AT THIS!!"
Sagi looked out the window and gasped. Outside, right where the Sfida was heading, was an
ominous looking, twisting hole was churning in their path.
"Wh-what is that?!" Sagi gasped.
"Oh no!" Milly gaped. "They say that sometimes people end up in different demensions on this
path!"
WHAT? Then why the hell did we come here?!
Sagi ran to the piloting controls of the ship and attempted to steer away from the hole. This didn't
work out as hoped however and they found themselves being sucked into the mass.
"Oh no!! We're going in!!!" Milly cried.
"What do we do, Marno?!" Sagi cried.
Why ask me?! I'm just a piece of an ancient god! I don't know everything!
"WE'RE GOING INNN!!!!" Milly cried.
------------------
...Sagi, Sagi wake up.
"Mmmph...I'll be up before you can count to fifty-"
Don't give me that excuse again! Come on! Up!
"Gah!" Sagi jolted upright. "What? What about the vase!? I didn't do it!"
...Sagi, this isn't Gena, it's Marno.
"O-oh..." Sagi laughed nervously. "Uh...Hey! Where's-?!"
Milly just got up off the ground next to him, holding her head.
"I'm fine..." she said. "But...where are we?"
Sagi got to his feet and looked around. Wherever they were, it sure didn't SEEM like an alternate
demension, in fact, it looked alot like Sadal Sudd. There was even a faint smell of mountain
apples coming from the shadow of a town in the distance.
"Hey...how'd we end up here?" Milly gaped. "Where's the Sfida?!"
"What the...?" Sagi looked around. "How'd we get to Cebalrai?"
"Cebalrai?" Milly followed his line of sight. "Hey...it is! How did THIS happen?"
Well, didn't someone in Komo Mai say anything could happen in the trail of souls?
Sagi nodded, "Yeah. They did. ...Well, c'mon Milly."
"Huh? Where-?"
"Well, the ship's gone, and we're not going to get anything done by sitting out here."
Milly nodded. "Yes, I guess you're right..."
The couple walked to Cebalrai and were greeted by a blonde girl about Milly's age.
"Oh, hello." she smiled. "Are you travelers, too?"
"Huh? Yeah." Sagi nodded. "My name's Sagi, nice to meet you."
"I'm Milliarde." Milly said. "Friends call me Milly."
Is that why you're the only one that calls her Milly?
Sagi was about to yell at Marno when the blonde girl cut in.
"My name's Xelha." she said. "Nice to meet you Milly, Sagi."
"Nice to meet you, Xelha." Sagi smiled. "Hey, do you think you could help us out?"
"Hm? With what?"
"Our ship is kind of...um..." Milly trailed. "Well, we can't fly it, and we were heading for Mira..."
"Mira?" Xelha blinked. "How did you land out here?"
Milly shrugged, "Beats me, one minute we're in the trail of souls-"
"The next, we're smelling apples." Sagi laughed. "Really strange, but that kinda stuff happens..."
Xelha began to say something when-
"WOAH! This is him-? Her-? Meemai?!"
The trio looked over to see another blue-headed guy gaping at a greythorne.
"Yep!" a kid told him.
"..." Xelha looked back at Sagi and Milly. "Anyway, about your ship...I don't think I can be much
help. I'm very sorry, but I'm very busy with...things..."
"Oh, that's too bad." Sagi said as she left.
"Well, that was helpful." Milly huffed.
"Milly, that's not nice-"
"Well- AH!"
Milly had turned on a dime and crashed into the blue-headed capewearer.
"Ouch! Watch it!" he snapped.
"What-?! Why don't YOU watch it?!" Milly snarled.
"Uh...Guys, do you have to-?" Sagi laughed nervously.
"I don't have to watch it, you ran into ME!" the guy shouted.
"Hmph! You obviously have no respect for women!" Milly stuck out her tounge.
"Well, if you weren't such an immature brat..."
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" Milly roared. "THAT'S IT! YOU ASKED FOR IT-!"
Sagi grabbed Milly's arms and pulled her back.
"Milly, please, we don't-"
"LET ME GO! I WANT TO SQUASH HIS FACE IN!!"
"I'm VERY sorry about her, sir, she-" Sagi started.
Sagi! He- he's a spiriter!
Kalas! That kid! There's something inside of him!
"What?" Kalas and Sagi said at once. "What are you-?"
"Huh?" Milly blinked.
"Uh...excuse me, sir, are you a spiriter?" Sagi asked Kalas.
"Huh? You can tell?" Kalas gaped. "Y-yeah...I am...are you?"
"Well..."
Just go with it, Sagi, it's too difficult to explain anyway.
"Yeah, you could say that." Sagi chuckled. "So...what's your name?"
"Me? Kalas, what's yours?"
"Sagi."
"Sagi, huh? So what's your guardian spirit's name?"
"Marno." Sagi said. "I used to call him by his last name, but now he just likes 'Marno'."
"Huh...mine's named Latara." Kalas said. "She's...just Latara."
"Oh boy...here we go..." Milly moaned.
"Oh, well...Nice to meet you Kalas, Latara." Sagi smiled.
"Woah! Wait a second! You believe me?!" Kalas gaped.
"Well...why wouldn't I?" Sagi wondered.
"W-well...most people think I'm crazy right after I tell them..."
"I know the feeling." Sagi laughed nervously.
"...Hey, Latara." Kalas said. "Say hi to Sagi, would you?"
"Huh-?"
Hello, Sagi! Nice to meet you!
"Woah-!" Sagi gasped. "She's...speaking to my heart!!"
What the-?! HEY! BACK OFF SISTER! THIS IS MY HOST!
Wha-? Well, how rude. I was just being polite.
Well-...sorry, it's just usually the only who talks to his heart is ME.
Oh, then I apologize for the intrusion.
Man you have some stuffy language...but it's okay, I guess...
"That...was weird..." Sagi blinked.
"What? You heard it too?" Kalas stared. "Latara and Marno seem to be a bit..."
Hey, if you're a girl and you're a male host...
EW! You pervert!
Wh-what?! I was just-! I mean-! Come on, it's a LITTLE bit-!
If I had hands and you had a face I'd slap you!
"They don't get along, do they?" Sagi laughed nervously.
"Nope. Don't seem to." Kalas shrugged. "Now, if you'll excuse me..."
Kalas had spotted Xelha and walked over to her. Why? Heck, who knows. Sagi turned to face
Milly, who had a look of fusturation on her face quick tempered face.
"WHAT just happened?" she asked.
"Huh-? Oh!" Sagi blinked. "Kalas...he's a spiriter. A real one."
"Really?" Milly gaped. "Like Father?"
Sagi nodded, "Yeah, I heard her talk with Marno and everything. Her name's Latara."
"Another girl? Daimon and Latara...hm...are all REAL guardian spirits female?"
Ouch, just because I'm not a real one...but I'm just as good, right?
Sagi laughed, "Well of course, look at all we've done!"
"Hey, what are they talking about?" Milly pointed.
A kid was talking to Kalas and Xelha had gone.
"They say there's some strange ruin in the forest," the boy said. "Don't know why they want to
see it."
"Hm...strange ruins? Sound interesting..." Kalas looked at the sky. "What do you think, Latara?"
Latara gave her answer and Kalas laughed.
"Just what I was thinking, let's go!"
Kalas ran off and Milly gave a thoughtful 'hm'.
"...Sounds cool!" Milly grinned. "Sagi! Let's go too!"
"Wh-what? But why?" Sagi asked.
"Because it sounds interesting! Let's go!" the cyborg grinned.
"Well...what do you think, Marno?"
Hey, why not?
Sagi nodded, "All right Milly, let's go."
"Yay!" Milly grinned.
The couple found themselves in Moonguile forest and were startled by what they saw. Previously,
moonguile forest had been a peaceful place filled with greythornes. It was now full of monsters.
"H-hey..." Milly paled. "What's going on here...?"
"..." Sagi swallowed. "Something's not right...where did all the monsters come from?"
Let's keep going, I think we should make sure Xelha and Kalas are okay.
Sagi nodded, "Yeah, with this many monsters, they might get hurt."
The couple traveled into the forest and soon came across a sabre dragon corpse.
"Hey...you don't think they killed this thing?" Milly blinked.
Sagi looked around,"...I don't see Kalas and Xelha, maybe they went in further?"
"Hm...Now I'm really worried." Milly bit her lip. "Come on, let's go after them!"
After a few more minutes they caught up to the other blue-head and teenage girl. They were
standing in front of a large spring just as Sagi and Milly caught up to them.
"You-!" Xelha gasped.
"What are you guys doing here?" Kalas asked.
"We were worried about you!" Milly pointed. "I'd hate to see a couple of amatuers get hurt!"
"Amatuers-?!" Kalas glared.
"Well, you obviously don't look like fighters." Milly huffed.
"M-milly...!" Sagi stammered. "Come on...I mean, Kalas is a spiriter so I'm sure-"
Suddenly, a bright light came from a pendant around Xelha's neck and hit the water.
"Wh-what the-?!" Kalas gasped.
Hey...this...is...
"Something's coming!" Xelha gasped.
Out of the water burst a giant, eel like monster.
"O woe-laden child!" it said. "You've come at last to the depths of Malpercio's realm."
"What-?" Sagi gasped.
"Did it say 'Malpercio'!?" Milly gasped.
Malpercio-?! Hey! Wait a-! Woah, I have a realm? Sweet-! I mean...
"PREPARE YOURSELF!" the lord of the spring shouted.
Sagi, Kalas, Milly and Xelha took out their wings and their weapons, Marno's power began to
glow around Sagi as it usually did against tough-looking foes.
Xelha gaped at Sagi. "Wha- what are you-?"
"No time!" Milly said. "Here it comes!"
The lord of the spring began thrashing around, spurting water at everyone. Xelha flew up and
attacked with light magic as Kalas slashed the monster. Milly gracefully assualted the creature and
Sagi-
"TRANSCENSION!"
Sagi nimbly slashed up at the lord of the springs, which jerked and fell into the spring with an
earth-shattering splash.
"...Is that it?" Sagi blinked.
Kalas and Xelha gaped like complete idiots, Milly simply put away her weapons.
"Huh, he wasn't too tough, was he?" she asked.
Kalas refused to show any signs that he in fact was fusturated. The spiriter and Xelha's attacks
had not affected the lord of the springs very much, Milly could've killed it in half a minute if Sagi
had not decided to end it sooner. After all, Sagi and Milly have had far more experience. The fact
that Sagi is a malidieter and Milly is a cyborg helps too...
"The gate to Ar is opening..." the monster said. "Behold, the blessings of Malpercio..."
The blessings-? What the heck? The Dark Brethren did NOT give us a 'blessing'...
A golden, shining magnus appeared and floated down in front of Kalas.
"Hey...what is this-?"
Before Kalas could touch it, the magnus dissappeared and reappeared in front of Sagi.
"..." Sagi paled.
This...is...what the hell is this?!
Suddenly the ground began to shake violently and golden shapes began to fly everywhere.
"HEY! STOP IT!!" Xelha shouted.
Sagi backed away from the magnus, which fell onto the ground.
"Who- WHAT are you?!" Xelha pointed. "You, Sagi! And you too, Kalas! Malpercio is the
name of an ancient, wicked god from a thousand years ago!!"
Here we go again, the 'evil god' thing. Sheesh...
"Hey-! How were we supposed to know that?" Kalas asked. "And how do you know this?"
"I..." Xelha trailed.
"What is this?" Sagi pointed at the end magnus. "Do you know?"
This is-! What the-!? Who did this?! Wiseman?!
"Well- AAHH!!"
An even more violent gust of wind picked up and before they knew it, they were surrounded by
an entire squadron of soldiers.
"What the-?" Milly gaped. "What are they doing here?!"
Suddenly, a man in armor appeared at the head.
"Girl!" he stated. "It's time you gave back what you stole!"
A soldier grabbed Xelha from behind.
"Ah-!"
"Let her go-!" Kalas caught sight of the man's face. "You-!!!"
Sagi and Milly took out their weapons once more, unfurling their wings.
"If you don't let her go, we'll kick your ass!" Milly shouted.
"What she said!" Sagi said.
The man caught sight of the couple and his jaw dropped.
"Impossible...SAGI?! AND MILLIARDE?!"
"Huh-? Do we know you...?" Sagi blinked.
"You'd better not!" Kalas snarled.
"Impossible...these two shouldn't be-!"
Giacamo's men swiftly knocked Kalas out of commission.
"You two! Unless you want to see them both dead." Giacamo put his weapon to Kalas' neck.
"Stand down. I'm sure the ever-righteous Sagi can't bear their blood on his conscious!"
Sleezy bastard! Who is this guy?!
"..." Sagi put his sword away, then his wings.
"Sagi-!" Milly started.
"You too, Milliarde!!" Giacamo snapped.
Milly glared and put away her wings and weapons.
"Excellent. Put them out of commission!"
Sagi and Milly were both delivered and hard blow to the head, joining Kalas in
unconsciousness.After what felt like a long time, a little squeaking sound woke them.
"Ugh..." Sagi sat up. "What just...? Milly-!"
Milly opened her eyes, "Ow...damn...who hit me?! I'm going to kill them-!"
"SQUEAK SQUEAK!" Meemai squeaked, waking Kalas.
"...Meemai?" Kalas woke up. "Xelha's gone, and it looks like they took that magnus too..."
...Sagi, we've gotta get that magnus back.
Sagi nodded, "I know. We can't let it fall into the wrong hands."
"Damn it...I'll get you, Giacamo!" Kalas shouted to the sky.
Milly and Sagi froze a second, then gasped.
"GIACAMO?!"
Hm...that's good for now!
