Disclaimer: We don't own Golden Sun!

After a long, long, time, we are finally finished putting up all the old chapters! Meaning...the next chapters we add will be brand-new! YAY! PARTY, PEOPLE!

Now, where were we? Oh, yes. The Adepts had now landed themselves in...well, as far as they could tell, the middle of the ocean. Again. They were still rather shaken, due to the...odd happenings at Gaia Rock...er, Shoe-Flower-Feather Rock. But that wasn't the problem right now.

Ivan and Isaac, partners in crime, had decided to play a prank. While Mia had been asleep...well, let's just say it involved flowers, feathers, and some very sticky tree sap.

It was just a little practical joke. Couldn't hurt, right?

Wrong.

And now they were confronted with Mia, wide awake and looking extremely grumpy. In short, she was a gooey mess.She was covered in sap, on which flowers and feathers were stuck on decoratively. On her head, her arms and her face; they were everywhere, and they weren't coming off.

"New fashion statement, Mia?" Ivan said nervously. "It suits you..." Isaac nodded, equally fearful.

"You. Are. Going. To. Pay. For. THIS!"

"Um, Isaac, we might want to run now," Ivan advised. Isaac agreed.

And that's where we are now, with Isaac and Ivan running for their lives, Mia chasing after them, and Garet mourning the loss of his toy shoe. After a while this died down, though, to be replaced by a pressing question.

It was Mia who asked it. "Where are we, anyway?"

"You're asking me?" Ivan asked. "I don't know where we are going, where we have been, or where we are currently, okay?"

"For your information, I was asking Isaac. He's the one who steers this thing."

"I can answer that for you," Ivan said. "Most of the time, I think he just wanders aimlessly and miraculously finds where we were supposed to be going in the first place."

Isaac nodded in agreement.

"So, in other words, we're lost in the ocean...?" Mia asked.

"Yup!" Garet said.

Mia started to cry. "We're lost in the ocean...WITHOUT CANDY! What could possibly be worse?" Hold on, where did candy come up in this conversation?

Isaac rolled his eyes. Didn't she have more important things to worry about than candy? Was he the only one with any sense at all? Because this was really getting annoying. However, he said nothing aloud. Maybe that was because he couldn't talk. But really...one of these days he was going to go crazy. If he wasn't already...

The ship drifted aimlessly until, miraculously, they bumped into Gondowan Cliffs, the passage between the Eastern and Western Seas. Wow! Exactly where they need to be! However does he do it? "..!" Isaac dotted (and exclamation-pointed), alerting the others.

As they sailed along the narrow passage, Garet was able to stop the Mourning of the Shoe long enough to translate. "He says wandering works! He's rite!"

"Told ya so," Ivan told Mia teasingly. She just shook her head in shock. "Mwa."

Mia gave him a funny look. "Mwa?"

"Mwa?" Garet echoed.

"?" Isaac question-marked.

"Yeah, mwa," Ivan said defiantly. "You got a problem with mwa?"

"..." Isaac dotted, sighing.

"If you said what I think you said, Isaac, then I agree," Mia said. "Ivan has lost his mind."

Ivan ignored them, staring instead at a massive rock jutting out of the water. A rock that was very conveniently blocking their way. Oh, no...whatever will the Adepts do?

"It's a big rock!" Garet pointed out. Thanks, Garet. As if we didn't all know that already.

"Why, thank you, Mr. Pointouttheobviousalot!" Ivan said. "The question is, what are we going to do about the rock? Care to answer that?" The Jupiter Adept though for a moment before he was struck by inspiration. "I have an idea!" He shot a Bolt at Garet, propelling him headfirst into the rock. The rock was as solid as ever. As was Garet's skull. Such a shame.

"If not even Garet's head can break it, it's unbreakable," Mia stated.

"I agree. Garet's skull has to be ten times denser than steel," Ivan responded.

"..." Isaac dotted.

"Ow..." Garet moaned. "He says he has an idea."

"We're all for it, Isaac," Mia said.

Isaac walked as close as he could get to the rock without falling overboard. He looked it in the eye (Or at least tried to, because as you probably know, rocks don't have eyes.) and greeted it. "..." he dotted.

"He said...hello to the rock! Even I know that's crazy! And I'm crazy!" Garet said proudly.

"Garet, being crazy is not a good thing," Mia said.

Isaac ignored them all and continued trying to reason with the rock. "... ... ... ..." he dotted.

"He said a lot of big words that I didn't know, but I think he's asking the rock to move out of the way!" Garet said.

"Isaac?" Ivan ventured. "Look, I know you're a Earth Adept an all that...but you can't talk to a rock and expect it to understand you! It's NOT ALIVE!"

At that moment Isaac exploded. (Not literally, though. Hope nobody thought that.) He had to deal with all these crazy people every day, the fate of the world was left to him, and even the rocks wouldn't listen to him! Rocks were part of his own element! He couldn't take this anymore! "!" And with that, Isaac's Ragnarok smashed the rock into a million pieces. Anybody scared now?

"He screamed, 'DIE, ROCK'! and smashed it! I'm scared..." Garet said, cowering.

If anyone had seen Mia and Ivan's faces at that moment, they would have looked something like this: OO

"Okay...what got into you?" Ivan said. "Ooh! Ooh! I know! A super destructive evil spirit! Yes!"

"I really should try to get you exorcised again," Mia warned Ivan.

Isaac smashed what was left of the rock into even smaller pieces. "Remind me not to get on Isaac's bad side," Mia said.

"He has anger issues," Ivan noted. Isaac turned on him with a dangerous look, sword ready. Ivan gulped. "You know I was joking about the anger issues, right?" Isaac then Ragnarok-ed the nearby land, causing a few major earthquakes and some villagers to panic.

"Meep!" Mia said. Okay...meep? What kind of a word is 'meep'? Oh, wait. It's another one of "her" words, isn't it...

"Great," Ivan complained. "I'm stuck on a boat in the middle of nowhere with a rabid Venus Adept bent on killing me. How do I get myself into these situations?"

"!" Isaac attacked the coastline and anyone foolish enough to still be there.

"Now he said, 'CRUMBLE, LAND!'" Garet said.

"Do you have a grudge against your element or something?" Ivan asked.

The three Adepts took refuge below deck. The sounds of the random smashing of landmasses was all around them. Until it suddenly stopped, and Isaac came looking for them, looking a lot happier after he had finished taking out his anger on the world. "..." He dotted.

Garet interpreted this for the other two. "He said that now that the rock's gone, let's keep going!"

"WHAT?" Mia exclaimed. "He smashed half of Gondowan Cliffs, destroyed the coast of Gondowan, caused earthquakes, and that's all he has to say for himself!"
