Okay, this is a story I started WAAAAAAAYYYY back (about a year or so) and I found it on my flashdrive, and decided to post it here. After doing some corrections and deleting some scenes, I thought it was ready. I've inspired myself from several fanfics so don't be too surprised to see some similar things (such as Eoleo singing for example) but don't worry, the whole story won't be copied. It's just one or two ideas.
In this story, there will be some MatthewxKaris (cause I love that shipping) and some TyrellxSveta (opposites attract dudes).
The beginning is slow, and a little boring, but trust me, it gets way better as the story continues, so keep reading till the end please!
I think this is about it, NOW ENJOY!
Matthew was angrily walking around in circles. Karis and Tyrell were calmly watching him. "What are they doing?! They should be done fixing her by now!" Matthew said, exasperated.
"Take it easy buddy. They can't finish fixing the ship in two seconds." Tyrell said.
"Tyrell's right. I know you're anxious to go, but Eoleo's ship is too damaged to be used. We have to give him and his crew time." Karis explained.
Matthew, Karis, Tyrell, Rief, Amiti, Sveta, Eoleo, Himi and Kraden had docked at Ayuthay. After the battle between some sea monsters, Eoleo's ship had taken a good beating. They had to set somewhere to do some fixing. They had docked on the sandy beach that was found right at the south of the city of Ayuthay. While Eoleo and his pirate crew went to work, Amiti had made his friends stay at Ayuthay.
They had all accepted, especially because Eoleo and his crew sang while fixing the ship.
So Matthew, Karis and Tyrell were patiently waiting, in the inn, for Eoleo to finish fixing the last pieces of his ship.
Sveta and Amiti entered the room where the three friends were. Amiti spoke.
"We found the bodies of the Kaocho Generals just outside the city."
"I used my spirit sense on them to know what they were thinking. It looks like that they hid some treasure. They hid the map in Kaocho. Rief and Himi left to retrieve it."
"Look guys," Tyrell said, "We're not on some treasure hunt. We need to have our hands on the Spirits, Azul, Catastrophe,Charon and Iris."
Amiti looked mystified. "Why? I don't recall any of this being said."
"That's because you keep on daydreaming when talk about our plans." Matthew said. He sighed. "We need them, because ever since the end of the eclipse, both Blados and Chalis disappeared. However, Tyrell and I ran into them a little while ago."
"They had become a lot more powerful" Tyrell added. "Matthew and I faced them, and we were wiped out."
Matthew recalled their final confrontment. He and Tyrell had found them hiding. They had taken Caver's Camp hostage. The two of them faced the two evildoers to finally get rid of them and protect the town. But the two servants of darkness had become incredibly powerful.
Instead of saving the town, the two teens met an amazing defeat. Matthew had suffered terrible wounds that took forever to heal, while Tyrell had broken his two arms.
The two umbra Adepts tried to kill them, but since the two teens were unconscious, they thought that they had already done so. They threw them in the woods to be left as food for the monsters. Fortunately, Patcher's Place wasn't far, and Karis, who was going to visit them from Kalay, ran right into the boys, and managed to get help before the worst happened.
Tyrell got over the shock, and had returned to his usual personality. He seemed to have completely forgotten about his defeat.
Matthew, however, has, ever since, the wanting for revenge. Anger, humiliation and defeat had been churning within him.
They had regrouped with their friends to try and defeat both Chalis and Blados. But to do so, they needed to have the most powerful summon spirits that existed.
Amiti raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure that it isn't you who overestimated yourselves. Not to mention that you were two, and now we're eight."
Matthew hit the table violently with his fist. "WE'RE NOT DOING THIS FOR FUN OKAY?! THOSE TWO NEARLY GOT US KILLED!"
Amiti raised his hands as if to defend himself. "Hey, hey, no need to get so violent. I didn't say anything about that, I just said-"
"Stop." Kraden ordered, placing herself in between the two boys. "This isn't time for us to fight in between us. We have to overpower Blados and Chalis before they inflict another crisis on Weyard."
Matthew and Amiti stayed silent. Rief and Himi arrived back at the inn.
"Look what we found!" Rief said. He was waving a half-ruined piece of paper in his hand. "The treasure that the two generals left is found on the Lost Ship after this."
Karis looked at the map. "It says that we must go north until we run into a reef shaped like a hand, and then turn left."
"Guys we're not in a treasure hunt! We have to get the three summon spirits before-"
Himi interrupted Tyrell. "The map was well hidden. The generals must have placed it there purposely for no one to find it."
"And since it was so well hidden, it could mean that the 'treasure' is something important." Rief added.
Sveta looked at the two frowning teens. She sighed. "I suggest that we make a vote. Who wants to give up looking the treasure, and try to find the summons?"
Matthew and Tyrell raised their hands.
"Who wants to look for the treasure in hope that it could be something important?"
Sveta, Karis, Rief, Himi and Amiti raised their hands.
"So it's settled." Kraden said "We're looking for the treasure."
At that second, Eoleo came in.
"The ship is ready. We can leave immediately if you want."
"Let's get going." Rief said
The pirate ship glided smoothly but quickly across the eastern sea. The sun was high, and everyone's hopes were high. The water had a beautiful turquoise color, and it spreaded to the infinity. This made everything astonishing.
Everything, except Eoleo's pirate singing voice.
The pirate and the crew never noticed the fact that the deck behind them was empty of all foreign passengers. The other Adepts and Kraden had hid under the deck, hoping to save their ears from becoming deaf.
"Why won't Eoleo shut up just once in his life?" Rief asked, rubbing his ears.
"He thinks that he is the best at what he's terrible." Amiti explained. "I bet you ten coins that he's going to try and become a singing star when this mission is over."
"No. I'm betting on your side."
"I'm betting against." Tyrell said "Thirty coins."
Matthew sighed and walked away. "I can't believe it. I'm in charge of a bunch of kids."
Amiti glared at him. "Oh come on! Can't you just be the little kid just once in your life?"
Karis shot him a dirty look. "His defeat to those two dark guys is still a blow to him. He's also got the entire world on his shoulders again! He can't possibly be as excited as you."
She got up and walked where Matthew had gone. "Do your boy things. I've got stuff to do."
Grinning, Tyrell watched her leave. "Well wha-dya know? This kind of talking…I say she's sweet on our leader."
Amiti shook his head. "That's impossible. She just wants to get him back to health."
Tyrell, still grinning said: "Twenty coins?"
"Fifty."
"Done."
Himi looked at Sveta. "Who do you think is right?"
Sveta shrugged. "They could both be right. A girl sees a boy in a complete mess tries to bring back to health, but falls in love with him while doing so."
"Ahoy! We have reached a reef shaped like a hand!" Eoleo cried.
The group of Adepts climbed on the deck. Indeed, they had reached a reef that was shaped roughly like a hand. The reef was five pillars standing out of the water, and they looked suspiciously like fingers
"Whoof! Ten days of singing-I mean sailing- was hell, but thank goodness that we made more then half of the journey." Tyrell said
"Now what?" Eoleo asked.
Kraden looked at the map. "We keep on going west. Only then we'll land right in the Lost Ship."
"Then let's go!" Amiti cried
The ship veered left. "Lost Ship, here we come!" Eoleo cried.
The ship continued west until they reached a foggy zone. It was a dome-shaped. Eoleo stopped his ship in front of it.
"Are you sure we're going in the right direction guys?" Eoleo asked.
"You're at the wheel you dope. How should we know?" Rief said
"I mean, are you sure we haven't skipped something?"
"If we went west, no we shouldn't have. Why?"
"Because we're just in front of a rather big, dome like fog. It's all but welcoming." Eoleo said
All the Adepts looked in front at the mist. Karden checked the map. "There's no mistake. The Lost Ship is straight ahead, and inside the mist."
Eoleo looked Matthew. The earth Adept glared at the fire Adept. "I thought you wanted come here."
The group of Adepts glared at him. Eoleo brought his ship within the fog.
The fog was so dense no one on the ship couldn't see more than two paces ahead.
"I can't see a thing. Where are we?" Amiti asked
"I don't know." Himi said, "Keep going straight ahead. We'll end up running sooner or later at the Lost Ship. Keep your eyes peeled."
They all tried to see through the thick and humid mist. At last, they all saw the unmistakable figure of a black ship in the fog.
The ship was half rotten with age. The humidity chewed the wood, causing holes, and the wooden planks nearly crack under due to their weight. Barrels, ruined boxes and rotten pieces of food were lying on the deck. They also all had the feeling of eyes staring at them.
They docked right next to it. "So this is the Lost Ship…" Karis whispered.
Rief shivered. "This place gives me the creeps. Let's take the treasure and be out."
Tyrell leaped on the Lost Ship's deck. "Let's gooooAAAAHHHH!" he cried, as the rotten wood gave under his weight.
"Tyrell!"
They all peered down the hole. "Are you okay?" Matthew asked, worried.
"Yup. Nothing broken. Hey buddy, come here just a second."
Matthew looked surprised. "I'm coming. Just give me a second…" with precise agility, Matthew slipped in the hole.
"Have a look around on the outside", he told the others before disappearing in the darkness of under the deck
Matthew landed in the hold, next to his friend. Everything under the deck was as rotten as was on top.
"What's wrong Ty?"
Tyrell was standing near the area where Matthew had landed. The fire Adept pointed at is right. A treasure chest was lying behind a log and a wooden crate.
"Come on, let's see what's inside."
They took three steps towards the chest, but when they reached the log, it moved, to block their path to the small treasure chest.
Tyrell glared at Matthew. "Why did you push this thing?"
"I didn't touch it! You did!"
"I touched nothing!"
The two Adepts immediately stopped arguing, and looked back at the log. They took two steps backwards. The log, by itself, moved back to its original place.
Tyrell gulped, and turned a bit pale. Matthew bit his lip, and felt his stomach turn inside out.
"Matthew…did I just see that?"
The earth Adept, unable to speak, nodded. He glanced at Tyrell. Suddenly, they heard a creak behind them. The two Adepts turned slowly around. They saw one of the rotten canons move back and forth, as if trying to get their attention. Suddenly, on their right, the barrels and crates began to shake widely. But what things creepier, was that NO ONE was in the hold excluding Matthew and Tyrell.
The two Adepts stood back to back, as they watched the entire haunted ship do its worst to scare them out of the inside.
Suddenly, there was a thump coming from the door that led to the deck. The two terrified teens looked at the door, rooted in their spots. Another loud thump could be heard, except that it was closer. Whatever was coming, it was approaching the door.
Everything in the room went deadly still and silent.
The doorknob slowly turned. Matthew didn't notice that he was holding his breath. He glanced at Tyrell. He was as scared as he was.
The doorknob stopped, and the door flew open, revealing a figure with glowing green eyes…
Tyrell screamed and threw himself behind a barrel. Matthew tripped over himself and scrambled wildly backwards.
"What's with the both of you?" Sveta asked, moving from where she was standing.
Tyrell peered put of his hiding place, and fainted. Matthew looked as if he could hug her so great was his relief.
Karis followed with Himi. "You both looked as if you had seen a ghost. What's wrong?" Himi said
"What was the big idea?" Tyrell snapped, climbing back on to his shaking feet.
The three Adepts looked at the two boys. "What idea?" Karis asked.
Matthew pointed at them. "You tried to freak us out!" he accused. "You tried to make us think this ship was haunted!"
The three girls looked at each other, not bothering to hide their confusion. "What are you talking about?" Karis kept on asking.
The two boys looked at each other. They gulped.
"The ship's haunted." Matthew said
The three teens looked at the earth Adept who was still lying on the ground. They all laughed.
"Seriously Matthew, how stupid do you think we are? There's no such thing as haunted houses or ships." Himi laughed.
The three girls stopped after a while, and looked around. Sveta spotted the treasure chest that was lying behind the log. "Hey! A chest! I wonder what's in it."
Himi left the hold. "The others are still up, looking for the treasure. Tell me if you see anything 'haunted'. I'd like to see." she left without shutting the door.
Karis looked at the two boys, who were still pale. "Aw, don't worry children, we'll give you your teddy bear if you're too scared to go on alone." she said, grinning
The two boys glared at her.
Tyrell looked at Matthew. "Do you think we dreamed all of this?"
"No. Whatever happened here, it was real."
They turned to Sveta and Karis who were walking towards the chest. Suddenly, the log moved by itself, blocking their way to it. The two girls looked at Matthew, who raised his hands, telling them he didn't do anything. Suddenly, a crate fell over by itself, making them all jump. A canon began its pace, going back and forth.
Karis and Sveta hurried back towards the boys. "Okay, maybe you were right, sorry."
"Let's get out of here!" Tyrell cried.
The door behind them slammed shut on its own. Matthew tried it. "It's locked! I can't open it!" He gave the door a powerful kick. But somehow, the rotten wood resisted the blow without a sound.
The ship shook widely, throwing the four Adepts off their feet. Mathew rolled over, and crashed into a barrel. He got up, and was thrown off his feet again, and he crashed onto Tyrell.
Sveta was holding on to the wood with her claws, but when Tyrell and Matthew fell on her, she lost grip and the trio fell right into Karis, who was holding on to a canon. They then hit a canon that fell over.
The ship stopped rocking. Holding on to one another, they climbed on their feet. The door swung open, and Amiti came in. Without a moment's hesitation, the entire spooked group raced out of the room, knocking Amiti inside.
They raced up the stairs and on the deck. They were so absorbed in their course, that they didn't hear Amiti yell his head off in the hold.
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT! Yeah, when I went to the lost ship for the first time, I was kinda freaked out. Things just moving on their own is a little weird, and then I decided to see how the characters in a story would react.
Yeah, bets. I totally see them do that once in a while.
