DJ Reality-This is my first fan fic. I've always liked Skies of Arcadia, and I've written a couple of small stories over the time that I've had this game, but I deleted all of them. I've just started re-writing. This is kind of a cliff hanger, meant to keep you waiting for the next chapter. R&R please!

Sparring Chapter 1

"Whoo!"

Vyse drops down and sits, looking at his crew members.

"Well, we did it guys," He announces. "We defeated the blue gigas!"

"Yeah," Aika, Fina, Enrique, and the rest of the crew raise a triumph, except for Lawrence, who's still standing in the shadows.

"Hey, Lawrence," Vyse calls for him as he gets up and walks tiredly to the seat that he thought he'd never use.

"Yes," Lawrence asks while he comes out of the shadows.

"Take the wheel and bring us to Crescent Isle. I'm really tired."

"Yes sir."

"Good man," Vyse replies and slumps down, closing his eyes. Lawrence takes the wheel and turns due west.

"Wait," Fina says to stop Lawrence.

"What?"

"If you go east, you could return to Crescent Isle easier."

"What! That's absurd! Everyone knows that the end of the world is over there."

"Well, according to the Yafutomans, the Valuans came from the east. If that's possible, then they sailed around the world."

"That's crazy," Lawrence persists, shaking his head.

"Just go east," Vyse says from his seat, his eyes still closed.

"A-Aye sir." Lawrence turns the wheel and heads to the east.

A couple of hours later, they reach Crescent Isle. It had worked!

Marco and Don carry Vyse off the bridge and go to set him into his bed as Aika and Fina walk together to the little café on the island.

"So, Aika," Fina asks, as they are climbing up the stairs. "Do you think you can help me train?"

"Hmmm…" Aika scratches her head and thinks about something. "Yeah, we could. We could probably take one of the larger lifeboats and go to a small island nearby, so we aren't disturbed."

"Cool! I really need to train, and so does Cupil."

"Alright, it's decided then. After lunch, we'll go train."

How'd you like it? I got stuck a couple of times, not knowing what I should write next, but I finished the first chapter! I'll probably have the next chapter in a couple of days. Remember: R&R!
