"What are you doing here?" asks Kuran to Will in one of the rooms of the Jupiter Lighthouse.
"Kuran? Is that really you? Man it's been awhile...or has it? It's sometimes hard to tell considering my method of travel."
"It... has been a while," told Kuran. "Just... got your travel method by accident."
"You know him?" ask a man with long long hair tied at the back with yellow eyes and his outfit mainly consist of turquoise, yellow, and dark blue. His build is also quite muscular.
"You could say we've met before. This is Kuran.." he turned to Kuran. "In any case, props on surviving that ordeal you probably found out the hard way that it takes a lot out of you."
"You got a point there," told Kuran. "Now we should move to save the others."
"I know what you are talking about," told a boy with brown hair. "We saw it from one of the lower levels of the Lighthouse."
"C'mon lets go," told Will and they went to cross the room and just as they head to help the others, another man shows up out of nowhere.
Will wondered aloud, "Jeez, you can't just show up like a normal person just for once?"
"Then where would be fun?" asks the man and Kuran asks, "And you are?"
"Oh! You found a new friend since our last meeting in Champa?" asks the boy and the red haired girl told, "Meeting? You mean how you have threaten us with Karst and Agatio to hurry up to light up the remaining Lighthouses?"
"I don't mean to rush or anything, but remember that there are people who need help so can we save intros for a little later?" interrupts Will.
"He is right!" told Kuran and Alex nods. "Then let me heal you at least."
"Appreciate it." Nods Will.
Alex cast a healing Psynergy on the group before they head out, just to see how Karst and Agatio defeated Ivan and Isaac in battle, ready to kill them. Will only remarks, "Heh, guess it's time for another last second rescue, huh?"
"What are you two doing?" asks Karst. "Going to betray us?"
"More like stopping you from doing something stupid, specifically killing those guys." Explains Will
"They would only trouble you in lighitng the Lighthouses! So why should we spare them?" asks Karst but Jenna told "This is our business! Leave them alone"
"just because they don't want us to light the lighthouses dosent mean that there bad guys." Reasoned Will
"Grr! Fine but light the Lighthouse now!" told Karst and went up with Agatio.
Will summoned his Keyblade and pointed it at Ivan and Isaac. "Heal."
"By the way," told Karst, "take from Isaac the Mars Star!"
"Just go already," groans Will.
Felix sighs and went to Isaac who hands it over, even though he doesn't know what is going on. Piers doesn't feel comfortable about the two and went with them.
Kuran looked and told Will, "Better you go with them... we can get the other two up without you"
Will nods and told, "Right."
Once they are on the top of the Lighthouse, Felix went to use the Jupiter Star to activate the Lighthouse. Will smiles. "Alright, One more Lighthouse and one more step closer to saving this world."
Suddenly Agatio stole the Mars Star from Felix. Piers turned to the two Mars Adepts and asks, "What is the meaning of this?"
"Simple! We cannot trust you anymore after the act of earlier," told Karst. "Your parents will be sad to hear you... died during your task to light the Lighthouse. But don't worry... once the Lighthouses are lit, they are free to go. Only the problem remains that they have nobody to bring them home... I figure they just have to stay in our village."
"So you plan on kill us instead? HA! I would love to see you try," remarks Will.
Suddenly Agatio rushes forward and his fists became covered in flames and punches Will harder then he had expected while Karst went at the other two with a scythe.
Felix grabbed his sword, blocking the scythe. Agatio was about to join him, but felt something grab his leg he looked down and saw Will slowly getting up.
Karst jumped back and used an explosive Mars Psynergy, knocking Felix and Piers away while Agatio kicked Will back and a fire serpent Psynergy raises him into the air until the point where it explodes on him, causing him to fall and he barely manages to hold onto the edge of the Lighthouse.
However, Jenna suddenly shows up and asks, "What is going on?"
"The two decided we weren't necessary anymore," told Felix and Jenna nods. "Then let me help you!" as she pulls her weapon out and joins into the brawl by first casting a healing Psynergy on her brother and friends.
Will Managed to climb up. "Aw now don't tell me you guys are taking all the fun." Agatio turned. "Grrr! You're a stubborn one!"
"Like I said, I'd love to see you try and kill me. Come on, hit me with your best shot! I dare you!" smirks Will.
"Moment!" told Agatio and casts a Meteor Psynergy that had a large impact on them while Karst began to pummel the three with her scythe, taking Jenna out in an instant.
Agatio then rushes at Will while he Ran at him . Then he jumps up and kicks Agatio in the head, causing him to stumble back. He looked over, seeing Felix and Piers struggling. Without thinking Will ran toward them, jumping in front of Felix as Karst swung her Scythe. "WILL!" Felix shouted in horror as the blade penetrated his chest.
She merciless cuts through him and penetrates his body with it to hurl the body away, directed to the Lighthouse fire.
"Heh, be careful what you wish for, kid," Agatio laughed as he turned to the others.
"Will.. no.." Piers shouts.
"You..YOU MONSTERS WILL PAY FOR THAT!" Felix shouted.
"Damn right they'll pay, that friggin' hurt," Will's voice echoed. "What!?" The group turned to see Will standing there with a gaping hole in his chest.
"What the hell?" asks Karst in disbelief and then a scream could be heard, which turns out to be Sheba's. She stares at the wound of Will, becomes pale, and falls on her back.
"Remember how I said I have a lot of other secretes that I don't have time to explain them all? This is one of them," Will said as the hole in his chest began to close.
"A-Are you alright?" Piers asked, still in disbelief. "Well other than the fact that I'm royally ticked off that these punks tore up my favorite vest, I'm fine."
"An interesting secret you hold... do you mind to share how you got this... immortality?" asks Alex, who suddenly walks to them.
Will shrugs and points to Karst and Agatio. "Sure, but at a more convenient time specifically when I'm done with these two."
"Then you are forcing me to fight as well... and you don't want that. In fact it is time to leave now."
"What?" asks Karst. "Why?"
"I wonder where Felix on the others are doing," told Isaac's voice in the distance as an answer of Alex question.
A smirk appears on Will's face. "Heh, well what do ya know."
"Oh... and if you are thinking about following or stopping us: I don't want to fight you, but I am sure the pain you sustained would take everything you received until now to a sting of a bee," reasoned Alex.
Will held up his Keyblade. "Look, you three are out numbered out, out skilled and to top it off I cant die. Don't make this any harder than it as to be."
Alex snapped his fingers and suddenly a burst of water shoots up from under the feet of Will, shooting him sky high to the direction of a red rock and broke through the rocky walls, directly into a magma lake.
"Cannot die doesn't mean you cannot feel pain," told Alex and teleports with the two others to the elevator on the side of the Lighthouse and used it to get down.
"HOT! HOT HOT HOT HOT! HOT!" Will cries frantically swam to get out of the lake.
Back in the Lighthouse…
Isaac and the others came to the top of the lighthouse and Kuran noticed, "Where... is Will?"
Nobody answered the question… instead Isaac looks at Felix and asks, "So! And now you are going to explain us why you are turning on the Lighthouse! Do you have any idea what you are doing?"
"What are you doing?" asks Jenna who was back on her feet. "We saved your butts earlier and this is how you thank us?"
"Please calm down," told Kraden. "We can explain everything if you are listening to us."
"Everyone calm down. Look, I don't think any of us are in any shape for another fight right now. We should all get back to Contigo and sort things out there," Ivan intervened. Felix sighed. "You're right, we've all been though a lot just now."
"Alright," told Isaac. "But no tricks or running away Felix."
Then he turns to the elevator. Kuran went with them.
"Wait, before I forget. Um, Kuran, right? Alex accidentally blasted your friend, sending him flying off to who knows where," Felix added.
"In which general direction?" asks Kuran in shock.
"East I believe. But I wouldn't worry too much. He's...not one to die so easy," Felix said before he left.
"Guess the effects of this kiss are still in effect," smirks Kuran and went with the others to the other elevator.
"Huh, what kiss?" Issac asked.
"It is difficult to explain," told Kuran. "And I don't know all details since I left before he got this."
"Oh. It might be a good idea to find him. Maybe he could give us some information as to why he's helping Felix," Issac said.
"Let's hear it out from him. I bet in Contigo we will learn everything... I had my colorful share of time with him to know he wouldn't team up with somebody whose intention were the destruction of the world."
Nodding, Isaac accepts Kuran's explanation.
"Not hard to believe me with Ivan able to read my mind and seeing the strange things I do, huh?" chuckles Kuran while stepping on the elevator. "Anyway, we have to find him soon... who knows what he could do if we don't watch out. He tends to do stupid things in my opinion. On the other hand... I admit I don't understand him completely."
"We also need to meet up with Felix and the others so we cant exactly keep them waiting," Ivan added.
"So what should we do? Split up?" Issac asked.
"Well, I suppose, maybe," Ivan pondered.
"How about I go and look. We could meet up in one place, I just need a map to not get lost," told Kuran.
"Alright," Issac said as he marked Contigo on a map and handed it to him. "We'll meet up with you later."
Kuran nods. "Alright! I'll check up the continent and then return to you guys."
Once they are down, Kuran separates from the others and began to search through the small continent... if he knew that for finding Will he had to pass the sea over to the neighboring continent... he would have borrowed a ship.
Kuran reaches a shore with a set of Fisherman talking to each other heatedly. As he asks about the reasons, he learns that somebody flew by and crashes somewhere on the other shore.
Kuran explains that it was a friend of his and that they were testing a new catapult… with the stupid idea to use him as test object. The Fisherman told Kuran after this, "Well, if your looking for a ride to the next continent to find out we can give you a ride."
Kuran accepts the offer and the group departed and made their way to the continent. Later Kuran went ahead and Wandered around a deep forest until he heard a rustling in some nearby bushes. He looked and saw Will's face in bush covered in leaves. "Blech.. Hey there."
"Will! Good to see you... I was looking for you," told Kuran and Will answered, "Good to see you, too. Um, could you help me out? I'm, uh, kind of stuck here."
"What happened to you? Except for the watered fly," asks Kuran and Will answered, "Well lets see, I fell into a pit of lava, then I bumped into a group of bandits, then there was that giant boar and some other stuff happened...I actually can't remember how exactly I got stuck in this bush. Mind helping me out?"
With a nod Kuran took a knife out and began to cut the bush off from him. Once he freed the head he realizes… he was just a head. With a nervous tone he asks, "Uh... Will? Where did you... leave your body?"
"Umm, lets see it should be.. Oh there it is," Will said, seeing his headless body wondering around.
"Gross..." told Kuran and moves over to the body while Will complains, "Hey I'm not THAT ugly, I just recently lost some weight."
"I was thinking about the fact that your body was walking without a head," countered Kuran with Will telling, "Yeah I know."
With rolling eyes Kuran proceeds to put the head back on the body. He places his head on his shoulder. "Ah, that's better," Will said as he pops his neck.
"No word to the others," told Kuran. "They would either faint or call us crazy."
"Well maybe Issac and his friends would," told Will and Kuran asks, "How would you know that?"
"Because Felix and the others saw me get impaled by a scythe earlier," explains Will an Kuran asks,
"A scythe? Did you run into Lemuria?"
"No. It was this one girl named Karst. Her and her buddy Agatio tried to kill Issac and Ivan for trying to stop them form lighting the Lighthouses and we stopped them. Then they tried to kill us for saving them."
"I was there as they tried to kill them," told Kuran. "I didn't see the scythe though."
"Wait, you were there? Why didn't you stop them?" asks Will and Kuran reasons, "I wanted to! That's when I ran into you and the others."
"Oh..wait where are the others any way?" asks Will and Kuran answered, "Contigo, talking things out."
"Ah I see. Speaking of talking I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you have questions that I might be able to answer?" wondered Will and Kuran took the chance to ask, "Why did you come to this world? The how is clear."
"I was originally expanding the reach of my Dimensional portal. That was before I noticed something about this world," answered Will.
Kuran nods and not asking what Will noticed they went to Contigo. As they traveled Will asked, "You know, I'm curious: What exactly happened for you to accidentally create a Dimensional Corridor?"
"I was training with Kairi against a Time spell using Heartless... it used its attack, I wanted to get close with the Dark Corridor and Kairi used a Warp spell," explains Kuran. "And I landed with the Heartless in the seas."
"And I take it Issac and his friends found you and saved you from drowning?" asks Will and Kuran chuckles. "I landed in front of their ship."
"One more question. What are you doing with Issac and his friends?" told Will and Kuran shrugs. "Can't cast many spells so I need help for these type of portals and thought... saving the world might be a good feeling."
"Saving the world? Keeping those Lighthouses from being lit is NOT saving the world, just the exacts opposite actually," told Will and Kuran wondered, "And how should I have supposed to have known that?"
"Look I understand that, and I know the stories regarding what MIGHT happen should all of them light up, but you need to understand that this world's life energy is slowly withering away and the power coming from those Lighthouses can replenish that energy. If they all light up we risk the possibility of the end, but if we don't do that then this world will die anyway," explains and Kuran just wondered, "Where did you guys learn that?"
"Come on think about out it: What kind of lighthouse causes all these kinds of phenomenons from just lighting up," countered Will and Kuran reasoned, "Don't want to break the fourth wall again, but... the Luna Lighthouse in the DS edition of Golden Sun?"
"Yeah well, last I checked this isn't the DS version," countered Will and Kuran said, "Still! It was common belief here and why should I have questioned it? So don't blame on me for making this false choice."
"False choice nothing. In fact I can even show you what I mean," told Will and Kuran hits him. "I was referring to the fact I tried to prevent you guys from doing this."
"Oh yeah that's right. Your author actually played the GS series...Well enough 4th wall breaking for this chapter, we should probably meet up with the others," laughs Will and Kuran agreed with him.
The two got back to the main land and went on their way to Contigo where the found Issac, Felix, and the rest.
"I take you managed to talk everything out?" asks Kuran.
"Yes we did," Issac said.
"It's good to know that you two found one another as well," Felix added.
"So what's the plan?" Will asked.
"We sail straight at Prox in the north," told Isaac, "and get the Mars Star back from Karst and Angatio to light the Lighthouse."
"Nice to know every one is at an agreement." Will smiled.
"Did you tell Kuran about the Lighthouses?" Felix asked and Will answered, "Yeah I had a chance to."
"After I found him headless," mused Kuran aloud.
"W-What!?" Issac seemed confused.
"Want me to show you?" Will asked.
"P-please don't! I just got that disturbing image out of my head!" Sheba begged.
"We should go now... back to our ship," told Kuran.
"Lets go," Felix said as they left.
Later, as they sailed, Issac was talking to Will getting to know him better while Felix was talking to Kuran, doing the same. And Kuran answered them everyone he could.
"We're getting close to Prox!" Ivan shouted as everyone felt a chill of air.
"Oh man I really wish I had a extra jacket, I don't do well in the cold." Will shivered.
"Same counts for me," told Kuran and shivers. "Not to mention.. .dead end!"
They look at the ice wall in front of them and Kuran asks, "How to get rid of this ice wall in front of us?"
"Well...we could always melt it," offered Will.
"None of our Psynergy could destroy this ice wall at once," told Jenna while Mai adds, "If we try to melt it partly, it will froze instantly again due the temperatures here"
"Which means we need something like a cannon or what?" asks Kuran and the others shrug. Since they cannot do much here right now they decided to look somewhere else for now.
They sailed back and after talking with Sheba a little Kuran asks, "Did you guys ever visit the Elemental Rock of Mars?"
"Nope! We don't have," told Jenna and Kuran thought, "Perhaps we can find something there to break this wall."
Felix wondered, "Anybody have any idea where it might be?"
"Hmm well, logic would suggest that it would be somewhere hot and fiery. Oddly enough I was at such a place."
"If anything we should try there," Issac said.
"Oh joy backtracking.. yay," Will said dryly.
Let me guess... you made a bath there?" asks Kuran and Will answered, "Nothing brightens the complexion more than a nice hot mineral bath...and lava."
"Would be too hot for me," told Kuran. "How about you ask these dragon friends of Sora and Riku?"
"Dragons?" asks Garet. "You have friends who knows dragons?"
Kuran points to Will, "He lives with dragons. Was on a visit with him there and... a few things happened I rather not want to talk about."
"By any chance are you talking about a certain RP that is not official in any way, shape or form making your knowing of that place seemingly impossible cannon wise?" wondered Will.
"That's right," told Kuran and Peirs asks, "Do you love fourth wall breaks?"
"It happens form time to time, you can't travel from one dimension to another and not learn about these type of things. I'd like to think of these moments a a type of 'inside joke'," laughs Will land Piers just shrugs as they travel to the magma rock.
Once they are there Kuran mused, "I guess this will be a hot trip."
"At least it will warm us up for the frigid cold." Shrugs Will and they start climbing
On the top and saw a giant yellow and red object. Kuran whistled at this size and asks "For what is this thing for?"
"given our situation, needed to melt ice." Will joked. Kuran shook his head. "Too big for even bringing it on the ship…"
Jenna just shrugs and used her explosion Psynergy and... the object made a loud bang, leaving a new opening into the rock. Will wondered, "So, now what?"
"We go in!" told Jenna and they move. They explored the hot inside until they reach the door of a sort of capsule made of stone. Kuran asks, "Seen that before?"
"We do," told Felix. "In two others we found Psynergy for Mercury and Jupiter Adepts."
"What about Venus?" asks Isaac and Jenna sighs. "Had to beat a dragon which in turn saved also a town."
"Good for you," told Will and they move in. Inside they found a stone table which is familiar for Felix's group and Will wondered, "So is this what we're suppose to be looking for?"
"Looks like that," told Kuran and Jenna put her hand on the table. She and the table began to float and energy spheres shoot out of the table to fly to Jenna. Once this is over, Jenna grins. "I got a new Psynergy"
"Come on we better get going," Felix said.
"He's right the sooner we go the sooner we can light the last Lighthouse," Will added.
"Right!" the others answered and they went to get out. On the way an eruption happened and they saw a glowing rock that looks worth to investigate.
"Wonder what this is?" asks Will.
"We will see," told Jenna and move towards it, using her new Psynergy to clear a few spots.
'I hope nothing bad happens the last I need is to die for like the millionth time,' Will thought.
And they got a ball of magma, but... it doesn't burn any of the Adepts. However, as Kuran tried to touch it... he howled in pain!
"Kuran!" Will ran over to see if he was alright. He holds his hands which had nasty burns.
"You going to be alright?" Will asked, offing a potion to help with his burns. Kuran took it and puts on his hand, telling, "It will heal... somehow."
"That's good to hear. Ok what the heck was THAT?" demands Will and Jenna told, "Looks like this is a Psynergy filled object when only Adepts can use it."
"Reminds me of a cannonball which is in heat," admits Kuran and Will told, "Something only Adepts can use? Well that's good to know...I think."
"Yeah... but for what is it good?" asks Garet and Kuran asks, "Is a cannon lying around somewhere? Perhaps we can use it as ammo."
"And where should we find one?" asks Garet and Mia suggests, "How about we rest first? North is a town we could rest for some time."
"Sounds like a plan," nods Will.
They began to move to the town and to their surprise... they found there a cannon!
"Where did that come from?"Felix wondered.
"Beats the heck out of me." Will shrugged and Kuran suggests, "How about we put the ball in?
They put the ball into the cannon and... short time later after they got behind the cannon it shoots and destroys a wall. Three of the villagers stared at this and asked, "Did you do this?"
"Not on purpose," Will said.
"We were wondering if this canon still worked," Issac spoke.
"Although now that I think about it, it didn't help that we had it pointed in the direction of a building," Will mentioned.
"You broke the wall we were failing to break! Thanks a lot!" told the Leader and continues, "Since you seem to be able to use the cannon, how about we give it to you?"
"It's nice to know we found a way to break though the ice," Felix smiled.
"Yeah, but it's still getting late It would probably be a good idea to rest for now," Will said. "Sure thing!" was the answer and the three men went to install the cannon on the ship. Will laughs. "I love it when things like this work itself out."
The others agreed, but since it was late they went to the inn. On the way Will told, "You guys go on."
"What are you going to do?" Felix asked.
"I'm just going to do a little late night meditation, you know reflect on the day and everything. Anyone is free to join me if they want," Will said.
"I go to the bed" told Kuran. "Just don't get into something crazy."
"Yeah, yeah," told Will while waving a hand lazily.
On the next day the group went back to the ship and set sail to north. They reach the ice wall which blocked them off at first and aimed with the cannon at it. After a shot the ice wall was gone, but also it was the end of the ships trip due to solid ground. Once they were off Kuran wondered, "Where is the Lighthouse or this town?"
"In north from here is Prox," explains Felix. The others nods and head to the north and soon reach the town of Prox. Upon entering one of the people greets them and was surprised to see Felix since they were told by Agatio and Karst that he died on the mission
"I don't suppose any one might have an idea why they said that?" asks Will and the answer was, "Well... we have had a reason not to believe them since we knew it was a dangerous trip."
On the question where to find the Lighthouse the answer was again: North!
They head into the village and they meet somebody who told them the chief has decided that Felix's parents and Isaac's father are free to go once Felix returns... seems the chief didn't believe in Felix's death. They head for the house were they should be, but... nobody was there. Even the Proxianer which were in the house as well were confused since they were told to get them ready to leave.
"Man is it me or is it just one thing after another?" asks Will.
"Better we head for the north exit," told Felix. "I don't like it."
They nod and went to the north exit. As they got there, they spot eight people looking at the Lighthouse. Three females and three males form a line while two are closer to the exit.
One of them told, "We can't wait for Agatio and his men any longer..."
Then he continues, "If we wait much longer, this wind and snow will make it impossible to reach the Lighthouse. I'm going to the Lighthouse... Will any of you come with me?"
The people on the line told their leader should stay and they will go. However, he spoke, "How can you expect to accomplish what Agatio and Karst could not?"
One of the women told, "They may have been more powerful than any of us, but we can't just stand by!" and another adds, "They're not coming back, just like Saturos... You have to let us try."
The oldest of them told, "I can't. I can't allow it."
The leader smiles. "Listen to your elder... he speaks wisely."
However, the elder told the leader also, "I'm speaking to you too, Puelle. If Agatio and Karst cannot do the task, how can you, a single man, hope to do it?"
"What are you saying? If we stand around debating, our town is doomed for certain!"
The elder told sadly, "We can't risk sacrificing any more lives."
Puelle sighs. "So, we must sit here and wait for a miracle to come."
"Guess this is our cue," guessed Kuran. They nod and move over with Will, speaking, "We couldn't help but over hear that Agatio and Karst didn't make it back yet?"
"That's right! And you are?" asks Puelle with Will answering, "People who happen to know those two, we're here to help light the Lighthouse."
"And it seems we have to find Agatio and Karst to gain the Mars Star... due to the fact they failed yet to light the Lighthouse," told Kuran.
"That is right," told Puelle.
Isaac smiles. "Then we'll go and light this last lighthouse."
With a nod the leader told, "They've proven themselves strong enough! I say we trust in Felix and the others to do this!"
"This is an unexpected turn of events, but yes, I think you can light the Lighthouse..." told the elder and Kuran turns to Will. "Guess we are on fire now."
"We better get going and save their sorry butts, those two probably hit some bad snags," told Will.
They run off and head north through the ice storm. Once they reach the tower Kuran laughs once they were in. "Great! We are in the Lighthouse of fire but everything is ice cold here."
"Yup, it's pretty ironic. Probably should have bought some extra jackets," agreed Will on Kuran.
"Better we look around for the Mars Star now." nods Kuran and Felix went on. "Agatio and Karst should still have it. The question is, where the heck are they?"
"First guess they are looking for a way on the top," told Kuran and they head to the first stairs up. They reach a room with a large dragon head and a wall with four symbols, each representing one of the elements. However, they heard a voice that they are not welcome and have to leave.
Felix then thought aloud, "Could it be that not only the beacon is off, but also the inner mechanics of the Lighthouse itself? The same was for us in the other Lighthouse as well. We had to activate them first before going to the top."
"Well, it's a start." Will said.
"Come on lets get everything turned on," Issac said.
They explore the other parts of the Lighthouse and have to break a GIANT block of ice to get to the rest of the Lighthouse since the other freely accessible parts of the Lighthouse were no clue about the two Proxians.
"Heh, well there's your problem..hmm that's weird," Will said.
"What is it?" Felix asked and Will explains, "I'm sensing that there's something in the ice."
Kuran rubs the surface clean and looks into the ice. "Like two different sized dragons?"
"Yet there's something about them that are..familiar,Hmmm."Will pondered.
"What does THAT mean?" Issac asked.
"Well one thing's for sure: We have to get rid of that giant ice block and deal with those dragons, they are very much alive in there," explains Will.
"Did you notice that this block of ice is between two of those flame throwing dragon heads? We just have to get fire on the activation stones and bang! The ice should be broken enough for an explosion Psynergy," suggests Garet. Will nods and told, "Well then lets give it a shot."
Jenna nods and casts her Psynergy on a flame to throw it at a pillar which directs the energy to the two dragons head. The ice got cracked enough for getting blasted by the explosion Psynergy.
Will held his katana as the smoke settled. "Get ready everyone!" The two dragons stood up, the larger one giving a loud roar.
And indeed the first thing the two dragons did after a roar were throwing flames at them. As a reaction Will held up his hand, forming a barrier blocking the flames.
Only to have a meteor crashing on it afterwards with everyone quickly jumping out of the way.
However, Mia and Kuran were caught in a Supernova blast, sending them to the walls while Issac and Felix drew their blades and ran at the two dragons.
Then Felix suddenly tackled Isaac to avoid them getting hit by a powerful cylindrical burst of flames.
Looking at his friend Felix asks, "Double Odyssey?"
"Man, barley awake and these two are already annoying," moans Will and Kuran agreed.
"Alright, you ready?" Felix asked. Issac nodded.
And the two raised their swords and two energy swords hit each other dragons before Isaac and Felix got covered in giant yellow energy swords, smashing at the two dragons. They roared in pain before falling to the ground.
The two dragons transforms into Karst and Agatio, the latter asking, "Why... Why am I lying here?"
After a few seconds he told, "Wait, I think I remember... We were going to light the beacon..."
"But the Lighthouse was frozen. We wandered lost inside, trying to find the aerie..." continued Karst. "We must hurry! If we don't continue... Prox will be destroyed."
The two tries to stand up, but Agatio told, "It's no use... I'm absolutely drained... I can't even stand."
"And the cold... Why am I so cold? We of the Fire Clan are meant to be immune to the cold..." adds Karst and Agatio answers, "I feel the cold too, Karst... I... I'm afraid we're going to die up here..."
"I hate to tell you, but you are right. That's the cold chill of death, trust me I know," explains Will.
"Felix?" asks Agatio. "Is that you?"
"Yes it is," Felix spoke.
"Amazing... then our luck hasn't entirely run out yet..." told Agatio and continues, "Felix, you must complete our quest... Please... You have to light the beacon..."
"We can't even stand... We're in no condition to go on. Light the beacon for us... Please."
"Don't worry, we will," Felix said, taking the Mars Star from Agatio.
"Please hurry... If I can just see the light of the beacon, I'll know that I haven't died in vain," told Kairst and Agatio told, "Please hurry..."
Then an unknown voice came from a dragon head of the wall. "You who hold the star, open your hearts and listen... If you wish to reach the heavens, give your star to me."
Garet turned and asks, "Is this thing asking us to hand over the Mars star?"
"Oh yeah sure thing mister creepy disembodied voice," Will said sarcastically.
"Why not?" asks Garet. "It said itself if we want to reach the heavens we have to hand it over."
"I'm just not one to trust random voices ringing in my head. The last one tried to kill me and everyone I held dear," reasoned Will, but Isaac told, "Then let me ask it this way: Have you seen any way to the top of this Lighthouse? Because I have no mood to climb up the walls with the storm that is waiting outside."
"Shouldn't there be like an elevator or some thing?" asks Will but the answer was, "Only works then the light is lit."
"If any one as any other ideas I could move it myself," told Will.
"What? How exactly?" Garet asked and Will answered, "Manipulating gravity."
"Sure... the platforms are just on the top," told Felix and put the Mars star into the mouth. The ground shakes and the ice melts, activating the Lighthouse before the star falls out since it wasn't necessary for the inner workings anymore.
Felix picked the Mars star up and told, "I guess you were wrong with your fears."
Will shrugged. "Just offering an opinion on things."
"Whatever! We should go now," told Kuran.
They head back to the entrance hall.
"Still, a part of me can't help but be a little cautious," Will mumbled to himself as they went.
They move up the middle stairs and in the room with the four symbols and the dragon head they heard the voice again. "You who hold the star, open your heart and listen... If you wish to scale the heavens, set the four spirits aflame."
And for a brief moment on the four symbols doors appeared. In wonder, Kuran moves to one of the symbols and one of the doors appears again.
Will sighs. "Set the four spirits aflame, hmm. I guess we don't have much of a choice, huh?"
"Doesn't seem like it," Issac said.
And they went through the four doors... each of them leading to a small tower which ends on a small flame in the color of one of the four elements. And each of them had to be directed to the picture on the wall.
At the end of it the dragon head spoke once more. "You have proven your worth! The Heavens awaits you!"
Then a flame erupts from the head, hitting the floor. After the explosion a sort of teleport platform was revealed. They step up to it and Kuran guesses, "Seems we made it. We reach the top of the Lighthouse now."
"Hmmm. I think I'm getting to paranoid for my own good," Will said.
"What do you mean?" Ivan asked.
"We're at the top of the last Lighthouse, the Becon is just ahead, and despite the dragons that turned out to be Agatio and Karst, may they rest in peace, and a few puzzles here and there this whole thing seems too easy. Am I the only one who finds that suspicious?"
"I can see your point," told Felix. "On top of each Lighthouse was for either group a major fight... on top of Mercury Isaac and the others faced Saturos alone..."
"On top of the Venus lighthouse we first fought Saturos and Menardi who recovered their strength by lighting the Lighthouse and fused together into a two headed dragon."
"And on Jupiter we fought against Karst and Agatio," ends Piers.
"Hm?" Will suddenly summoned his Keyblade.
"What is it?" Issac asked.
"I sensed some really powerful by the beacon," told Will.
"As long it isn't a flying rock with an eye on it," told Kuran and steps on the platform.
As the group approached the beacon they noticed something floating above. It was a giant rock the middle opening up reveling a eye.
"GOD DAMN IT KURAN!" Will shouted.
"The Wise One!" told Garet in surprise. The Wise One looks at them and told, "Traitors! I gave you the task to retrieve the Elemental stars, but now you are a helping them to return the Alchemy!"
Will turns to Garet. "I don't suppose you know who exactly this 'Wise One' is or what he means by traitor?" he asked.
"He is the guardian of Waynard," told Isaac. "He saved us and our home village as the removement of the Stars from Sol Sanctum. Also, he tasked us to return the Elemental Stars."
"Indeed I did!" told the Wise One. "Why are you disobeying my command? Why have you come to light the Lighthouse?"
"Because Prox and the Lighthouse will be destroyed if we don't!" told Jenna. "We can't let that happen."
"Prox?" asks the Wise One and told, "They brought this disaster upon themselves."
"Are you saying we should abandon them to die?" countered Sheba. "What did they do to deserve that?"
"The people have committed an unforgivable sin! They have to pay the price for this!"
"What exactly is this sin!?" Will asked.
"Is it lighting the Lighthouses?" asks Kuran. "Is this the sole reason for total destruction?"
"If we don't light the beacon Gaia Falls will eat away all of Waynard!"
Then Piers wondered, "We have fought so long to save all the people of our world, and now you would stop us?"
"Gaia Falls is growing. It's consuming more and more with each passing day!" adds Sheba on and Kuran told, "Why would you let this world be destroyed?"
"For a 'Guardian of Waynard' you really suck at your job. Please, by all means, enlighten us," told Will.
"You have learned far too much" told the Wise One. "If Alchemy is unleashed, mankind may well destroy all of Weyard itself."
"It is only a possible outcome!" told Kuran and the Wise One told, "One which was the reason why Alchemy was sealed in the first place."
"But we can combine our strengths, ensure that Alchemy not be used for evil..." told Kraden.
The Wise One shook his body and explains, "It is inevitable. In time, one man will seek to rule over all. It is human nature, inescapable."
Then he uses a kind of Psynergy and explains, "And it shall come sooner than any of you think."
"What do you mean?" Issac asked.
"The Water Adept who climbs toward the peak of Mt. Aleph even as we speak... Is he not a friend of yours?" asks the Wise One. "Alex is his name. Surely you have not forgotten him?"
"Alex!?" reacted Jenna. "What would he be doing on Mt. Aleph?"
"He understand far more than you do. He knows that when the four beacons have been lit..." explains the Wise One, "their light will gather at Sol Sanctum."
"What would he gain from being there?" asks Kuran and the Wise One keeps on "When the final beam of light reaches the peak of Mt. Aleph, the Golden Sun shall rise."
"Are you saying that Alex helped us just for the sake of obtaining this Golden Sun!?" Felix asked.
"Indirectly," told the Wise One. "When the four beams merge into one, they form a golden light, bathing Mt. Aleph's peak, turning the mountain into the Stone of Sages. It will give him the powers of a god, this has been Alex's one true desire from the very start."
"We've been duped! He used us all!" told Garet. "Oh, you'd better believe he's not getting away with this!"
"Alex... How could he do this? He's... he's one of my own people! I feel sick... disgusted," told Mia, who was from the same clan as Alex.
Kuran sighs. "Not that we can stop him, but we have to light this beacon."
"As much as I hate to admit it, you're right. We'll need to worry about that smug bastard later. Right now we need to save this world from dying," Will added.
"Why don't we let the Wise One deal with Alex?" asks Sheba and the Wise One told, "I cannot interfere in the actions of mankind."
"Then you are in turn also unable to prevent us from turning the beacon on. So may you get out of the way now?" told Kuran.
The Wise One didn't react so Felix just walks up to light the beacon. However... he jumps back as the Wise One began to glow. Piers wondered, "Wise One! Didn't you just say that you aren't allowed to interfere with our actions?"
"That is correct. I cannot stop you. But... what if some miracle were to occur, one that prevented you from igniting the beacon?"
"Aw crap, here we go," shouts Kuran.
"Miracle?" Felix wondered.
"If you can defeat a miracle, only then can you ignite the beacon's flame," told the Wise One and Kraden told, "The Wise One is up to something! Be wary, everyone! We don't know what he's capable of!"
The Wise One disappears and a dragons lands in front of them, roaring at them.
It has three heads. One red and the other two orange. The body and wings are green while the paws and claws that seems to show are purple-red coloring.
"A three-headed dragon? THAT'S your miracle?" asks Sheba and Piers adds, "So you have us fight for our future? Fine, then fight we shall!"
"What's he thinking? We already beat a two-headed dragon. How much tougher can this one be?" asks Garet and Mia tells, "I don't care how many heads it has. Nothing's going to stop us now!"
"Let's do it!" exclaims Ivan. "For Prox! For the future of Weyard!"
Everybody got into a fighting stance against the dragon as Kuran realized something. "Wait... didn't they tell me the two headed dragon had been actually..."
Then he turns to Will.
"I'm afraid you're right. It's just like with Karst and Agatio," Will said.
"Shoot!" called Kuran as he realized what is going on, but it was too late... they group was already engaged with the dragon.
Will placed a hand on Kuran's shoulder. "It hurts worse than all my deaths to say this, but...We have to go through with this."
"The only thing we can do is make it painless," told Kuran and got his ax ready while joining the battle, just to avoid a sort of energy blast from one of the heads.
"Right." Will sighed as he ran toward the dragon. But the earth began to shake as they were attacking.
"Oh great what now?" asks Will.
And then a small mass of thorny spiked vines shoots out of the ground, hitting a few of them. However Ivan escapes and releases a hurricane at the dragon, followed by a plasma rain from Sheba.
Will slashed at the thorns as the dragon got hit with the attack.
It roars again and shoots his energy blast again from the same head while everybody tried to find a chance to remove one of the heads.
Will saw one of the blast heading for Kuran. "WATCH OUT!" he shouted as he jumped in the way getting blasted, resulting in getting a gaping hole in his chest.
"Will! Are you alright?" asks Kuran even though he knows that is a dumb question. Garet manages to get close and hits the chest of the dragon with his weapon.
The dragon roars and Mia uses the opportunity to cast Ice missiles, hurting the dragon heavily and one of he heads was in the perfect position to be chopped off. Felix quickly jumped at the chance, managing to cut the head.
With the result that the head went off in an explosion with aloud roar.
"One down," Will said before throwing his keyblade at the second head.
But it only hits a barrier that suddenly came up before the dragon rises. Isaac steps back. "I have a damn bad feeling."
"Damn this thing as a ton of trick doesn't it?" Will said as his Keyblade came back into his hand.
Suddenly the sky glows up and a sort of circle appears before exploding into different beams, causing heavy destruction on everywhere it hits. One of them slams into the Lighthouse. For some miracle they all were hit terribly but not deathly. Also, the Lighthouse seems to have just taken it like the storm.
"Is..Is everyone alright?" Will panted.
"Ugh..everyone seems to be alright," Issac assured and Kuran groans, "The other two heads will be a pain."
"No kidding," explains Will.
The red head breathes out a stream of grainy sand at the party. The two Jupiter Adepts tried to counter this with hurricanes while Jenna shoots one of her beam Psynergies followed by Garet who used Fireballs.
Felix and Isaac were using some of their Djinns to protect the group and in attempy to force the dragon down.
Kuran looked at Will, grabbing his arm and asks, "Ready for a dragon rodeo?"
Will notices that a dark portal forms below their feet and above the dragon.
"Heh, let's see where this is going." Will smiled.
They fall through and land on the back of the dragon. It roars and tries to shake the two Keybearers on its back off while Kuran pulls his Keyblade out and starts slamming his weapon at the wings to force it to land.
Will quickly shot chains of light and darkness to wrap around the dragon's legs forcing it to fall down. "Now's your chance!"
This time Isaac and Felix attacked with their Oddysey attacks, causing the second head to get off in an explosion.
"And then there was one, we're so close," told Will.
The dragon stands and roars loudly, the ground starting to shake violently as thorny spikes shoot out of the ground.
"TIME STOP!" Will slashed the the thorns.
The dragons roars, only little affected by the spell itself, but its attack was stopped. Then it rises into the air, charging energy, enough to make even the Lighthouse tremble.
"Ok so, any got any ideas now?" asks Will.
"We could try our summons to take it down," told Felix, "but if we are not fast enough... we will be fried before they deal with the dragon."
"My long range capacities are not a match for this beast," admits Kuran. "The only thing which can do anything remotely is my Darkshine Blast."
Then he remembered something. "The blast! Will! Can you help me to power up one of my magic spells while the rest here get their Djinns ready?"
"Are you planning to use this attack which used some of my Djinns to power itself up with fire power?" asks Garet and Kuran nods.
Will brought his Katana and Keyblade together, both glowing bight and coming together into one as the light faded, revealing his Keyblade that appeared to change into a silver color. As he held it, Will and his Keyblade was suddenly covered in a silver fire like Aura. "Ready when you are."
Kuran nods and raises his Keyblade. Then the small darkness strings attach themselves on his blade and on his body through small dark portals, causing the weapon to "float" in front of Kuran's hand. Then the dark orb with the light center appears on the tip as the darkness user starts charging the spell.
The Adepts in the meanwhile began to set their Djinns on standby and the Doom Dragon unleashes the attack, the beams destroying a great mass of land which surrounds the Lighthouse. Prox got lucky enough not to be hit by these beams, but soon one were shooting at the Lighthouse itself.
Will pointed his Keyblade at the dragon as the fiery aura around him started to flow into his Keyblade.
The beam shoots at them and Kuran shoots the Blast. The Djinns reacted with the attack and fused with it. Falling on his kness, Kuran told "Now!"
The attack was close of impacting with the beam and if it doesn't gain a power boost, the beam would destroy the blast.
Will's Keyblade shot a massive beam of energy at the attack, pushing the ball of darknessthrough the dragon's blast eventually causing an explosion that swallowed the dragon.
A loud roar was head as the dragon came down... with head and body separated. The body began to disappear and as the heads lands all three of them began to transform.
The three heads transform into two men and a woman.
"What?" Felix gasped.
"Damn, it's just what I was afraid of." Will sighed as his Keyblade turned back into his Katana.
"That was a trap... a damn trap," told Kuran and Ivan asks, "Trap? What do you mean?"
"The Wise One Knew he couldn't stop us... so he went to use a trick on us... a cruel one," told Kraden.
"He did the same thing to Karst and Agatio in an attempt to stop us," realizes Will.
"I think there is more about it," thinks Kuran. "It is just a feeling however."
"Like it matters anymore anyway." Sighs Will.
Jenna looked at the three and suddenly recognized them. "No, it cant be."
"What's the matter?" asks Sheba and Isaac recognized them as well and stares at them.
Mia wondered what the matter is and Garet recognized one of them. "I know this guy! That's Isaac's dad!"
"No,no. That's..That's my father as well," Felix said, recognizing the other man.
"This whole time it's been Issac's and Felix's parents!? Pardon my language, but that's just fucked up!"
"How could the Wise One do this..." muttered Kuran. Piers rushes over and told Mia, "I'll heal Jenna's parents! Quickly, Mia! Tend to Isaac's father!"
The Mercury Adept nods and they start to use their Psynergy for healing. However, after a seemly endless time, they stopped and Sheba asks, "What's the matter, Piers? Why did you stop? Jenna's parents need you..."
"Don't give up, Mia. You can't! You have to save them..." told Ivan, but Kuran told, "I think it is useless... they probably used up all Psynergy they can afford..."
"That's right," told Mia. "I'm tapped..."
"I am, too..." adds Piers. "And even if I weren't, it's just too late..."
"No..What..What are we suppose to do now," Felix said, tears forming in his eyes. Will placed and hand on his shoulder.
"We have to.. finish what we started," he said.
"Y-Your right. We need to light the beacon..I'm sure they'd understand what needed to be done," Issac spoke.
Felix moves over and put the Mars Star in position. It moves down and the known beam shoots out of the beacon. After a blinding moment the Mars Lighthouse split into four and the light of Mars began to rise to its position.
"The beacon is lit!" told Mia and Ivan said, "And to think, I joined this quest hoping to prevent exactly this from happening..."
"Even if that's the case, we prevented this world destruction," told Will.
"True," told Sheba. "I was a prisoner, taken against my will..."
Then the Lighthouse moves back into position and Piers told, "And if that tidal wave hadn't sent me far off course, I wouldn't even be here now."
"For how many did the live change forever just for this light?" asks Kuran. Jenna got on her knees and told, "Mom... Dad... Weyard is safe now."
Then they heard somebody say, "You're right! I hear voices, too!"
"Wait, did anyone else hear that?" asks Will.
Everybody looks in surprise and another voice told, "I told you... I told you I could hear them!"
"Who said that? Where are you?!" asks Isaac and the answer was, "We're in Imil! We're at the base of the Mercury Lighthouse!"
Then Mia realizes, "You... You can't be!"
"Who is it?" asks Will.
"They belong to my Clan," explains Mia. "They are tasked to watch over Imil until my return."
"So what's going on?" asks Will.
"I don't know," told the boy. "But he told us we'd be able to talk to you if we came here now."
"He? Who's 'he'?" asks Mia and the girl answered, "I don't know... We were sleeping, and he came to us in a dream... he said, 'Go to the Lighthouse!'"
"The Lighthouse? Why?" asks Mia and the answer was, "He said that we have to deliver a message... He was too busy to do it himself..."
"What's the message?" Felix asked.
"And did this person give you his name?" Will added.
"We have to warn everyone to stay clear of the Lighthouse!" was the reply and Mia asks, "What's going to happen?"
"I don't know, but he told us to warn people away from Mt. Aleph as well!" was the answer and Kuran asks, "And who is he?"
"I told you, I don't know, but he looked like a big rock... with a big, rocky eye!" told the girl. Sheba looks surprised. "The... The Wise One!"
"What?!" everyone said in shock.
"With all the Lighthouse lit I suppose something WOULD happen. With that said, it probably would be a good idea to leave right about now," Will pointed out.
"Now I understand," told Kraden and everybody turns. "The Wise One said that when all four Lighthouses have been lit, the Golden Sun will shine... When this happens Mt. Aleph and the Lighthouses will probably become quite dangerous..."
"So, the Wise One is warning people in dreams, telling them to seek refuge?" asks Piers.
"It would seem so," Felix said.
"I've got some mixed feelings about that guy," Will said as he looked over at the three parents. After a minute he noticed something. He walked over and looked carefully at them. "What's wrong?" Issac asked. "They're..They're alive!"
"We know!" told Kuran. "But they are too weak to react to healing spells."
"Why should he warn others if he does this to us?" asks Garet. "He cannot be up to anything good."
Then a woman's voice came. "Have you not learned? One's actions do not always reveal one's true intentions."
"Hamma... Sister..." told Ivan and Isaac spoke, "Master Hamma! Did you receive a message, too?"
"Yes. I was called to Jupiter Lighthouse in a dream," admits Hamma. "You have completed your quest, but I see it comes with great loss... Your suffering has been almost unbearable."
"Master Hamma... My parents..." said Jenna with her head down.
"Safe to assume he'd did the same everywhere else," told Will.
Kuran nods while Hamma explains further. "I know, Jenna, and I am sorry. But as you know, do not give up hope for them just yet..."
"Because they are just about to die from the energy they used up in this battle?" asks Kuran, but Hamma told, "Appearances can be an illusion... The Wise One has a caring heart."
"Seriously?" asks Kuran.
Will shook his head. "He made us fight and almost kill Felix's and Issac's parents in an attempt to stop us!"
However, Hamma reasoned, "If the Wise One were truly evil, he would not be warning me of danger in my dreams."
Kuran looks at Will... this woman has a point
"Hmm, I guess your right, plus we DID get their parents back safely..Well, alive and in one piece. All right I WON'T put him on my 'To Kill' list. That reminds me-" Will pulled out a note pad and a pen. "A-L-E-X."
"I am sorry, but we are not having the time to discuss further," told Hamma and Kraden told, "She's right. If the Wise One said it's not safe to be near the Lighthouses, then I think we should listen."
"I am heading for safety, too. All of you must get away from the Lighthouse now," told Hamma and Kuran told, "To the elevators!"
"What about our parents?" asks Jenna and Isaac said, "We can't leave them behind..."
"I understand how you feel, but we won't make it if we have to take them with us!" reasons Piers.
"Damn it it's just one dilemma after another!" groans Will loudly.
And a golden beam shoots into the beacon as the ground shakes once more and the light turned golden as well. Garet cries, "It's too dangerous... The Golden Sun is forming!"
"A ray of light is emanating from the beacon... From the Mars Star," explains Piers and Sheba asks, "What will happen?"
"I don't know, but we got to do something!" told Will.
"The power of Alchemy will be unleashed upon the world!" told Kraden, but Kuran told, "We have to flee!"
Suddenly Garet shouts, "Stop it! Let go of my wrist!"
"Garet, get a grip! No one's touching!" replied Isaac angry. However Garet defends, "I'm serious! I..."
"The beacon!" cries Mia and Piers told, "Jenna... We have to move your parents!"
"What's happening?" asks Ivan and Kuran felt a surge of power raising from the Mars Star. "It is coming!"
"Oh jeez, what now?" told Garet.
The light that shines blinds them brightly and they felt like they were burning... without really burning away.
"UGH! We need to leave NOW!" shouts Felix.
"TOO LATE!" shouts one of them, but it wasn't clear who did. The pain reaches the highest point... and was suddenly gone! The beacon returns to its normal state and they could see a red beam shooting towards Mt. Aleph, with three other beams from the other Lighthouses.
"What the..." muttered Kuran.
Everyone looked around to see what happened.
"What was that all about?" Issac asked.
"Hard to say," Felix said.
"The Golden Sun has formed," told Kraden and suddenly they heard groans from somebody who... shouldn't be groaning by now!
The turned in surprise to the groans and they stare even more… The parents of Felix and Jenna began to rise and Isaac's father did the same.
"Oh good they're awake," told in a manner of fact. Kuran looks at him in confusion since they have been NEAR DEATH.
"Are you alright?" Felix asked his dad.
"Y-Yeah..." told his father, "but... what happened?"
"It's a long story," Felix said with a sigh of relief.
"Come on, we need to get somewhere where you all can get some rest," Issac said.
"Do you think you would survive the trip back to Prox? The storm is over so far I can tell," told Kuran.
"It seems like they can manage. Come on, lets go." Shrugs Will.
They use the elevators to get down and on the way back to Prox Kuran wondered, "How come they are back in shape? If I understood this with transformations correct, they should be dead by now."
"I assume the Mars Psynergy, which was released as the Golden Sun, formed rekindled their spirits and recharged their life force," told Kraden.
"The grand power of Alchemy, huh? The Lighthouses are lit and the Golden Sun has formed so that begs the question: What now?" asks Will.
"We should head back to Vale," told Isaac. "I am worried about the town... and my mother. Last time I saw her she was sick."
"Don't worry about Dora," told Isaac's father. "She is a strong woman."
"Alright," told Will.
They stopped at Prox to recover from the battle and had some words with the Chief. Then they head back to their ship.
Then Kuran just realized, "Where is our ship?"
"If you mean the one from Gabi: No clue... In fact I just realized that my Black Crystal is gone... so we cannot use it anymore," told Isaac and Will told, "Damn, sorry to hear. Well, no harm letting you borrow our ship, right?"
"We have been traveling with yours since the reunion," laughs Kuran.
"Not my fault you have limited options." Will smiled back.
"Hey! We never thought about the ship since we were busy to save the world... and we have still Alex to deal with," told Kuran and Will nods. "Now that I think about it, what is the plan for dealing with him?"
"First, finding out what kind of powers he has now and then we try to fight him," offered Kuran as they reached the ship and Will agreed on it.
They travel back to their home continent, looking for a port they could enter except for Lalivero... because if they land there, Sheba would be forced to stay in her hometown.
"Y'know now that I think about it, if the Golden Sun is as powerful as the Wise One said, wouldn't be difficult, if not impossible, to control?"
"Remember that the Wise One said, that the Golden Sun is forming the philosophers stone," told Kuran and Will replied, "Right."
"Anyway... we have to hurry," told Kuran.
They finally found a port and they made their way through Angara until they reach the town of Vault. Stopping there for a short rest they instantly head north to Mt. Aleph... but they weren't prepared what they would see:
"It... It cannot be... Vale.. is gone!" asks a shocked Isaac as they saw that the Mt. Aleph has sunk and Vale being just... gone.
"Well so much for plan A, anyone got a plan B?" asks Will.
"I think there is a bigger problem," told Kura and looks to the others...
"This... this is terrible," told Kale and Jenna's mother asks, "Is that Mt. Aleph?"
"Mom..." mumbled Isaac. Because from the looks of things, everybody they know... is gone!
A loud sigh came from Will. "Damn"
They debate for a while, but the ones coming from Vale were very depressed about the situation. Until Felix suggests, "Let's go back to Vault. We can rest there and think..."
But the others just remain silent... until Garet said, "Your family's safe, Felix. You don't have anything to worry about anymore... But what am I supposed to do? ... I'm all alone now."
"Aw... Poor baby," told Sheba and Kuran wanted to tell her something due to his own experience, but then he got why she said that.
"I know how it seems, but trust me, you're less alone then you think," Will said as he pointed behind him.
Garet looked in confusion and a voice told, "Garet! Don't be so sad!"
He turns to the voice and spots his family. Also, Isaac's mother was there. They have a great reunion and Kuran told to Will, "Guess it's time to leave... because if Alex has either this ultimate power and/or survive this catastrophe then we would have already noticed it."
"Yeah, you're right."
"You're leaving?" Felix asked.
"Yeah, we sort of have our own places to be."
"We'll miss you guys," Issac added.
"Why Issac, it almost sound like your impaling that we'll never see each other again. If there's anything I've learned, it's that good byes are always temporary no matter how long they seem."
"I don't know about Will, but I will be busy for a while," told Kuran. "But once I cleared everything I will show up again."
"Alright, best of luck with you two," Issac said. Later, the two Keybladers walked a path into a opened field.
"So what are your plans?" Will asked and Kuran told, "Trying to get home and look at what awaits me."
"If it's alright, may I ask how you plan on that? You need to master time and space based magic and last I heard, you're not much of a expert on magic..No offense," told Will and Kuran shrugs. "Understatement... I only manage the basics of magic."
With a nod Will wondered, "So how do you plan on getting back?"
Kuran points at Will and told, "I have you there."
"Is that right...Tell me, have you ever heard of the saying: Give a man a fish you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish you feed him for life?" countered Will.
Kuran sighs. "Heard of it, but... my attempts to learn either of these were fruitless."
"Or maybe you haven't found a effective teacher," mused Will, but Kuran countered, "Are you questioning Aqua's competence?"
"Bad choice of words, sorry. All I'm saying is that I would like to take a opportunity to teach you a few new things that I doubt Aqua could. If you would like to of course," defended Will.
"Not here if you don't mind," told Kuran.
"No duh. My preferred method of teaching is learning on the go," Will said, opening a Dark Corridor before turning it with his spells into a Dimensional Corridor. "And learning the secrets of the Universe is not as satisfying knowing that you can go to many others. Shall we?"
