Haha hey guys~

Frozen Fate- Hmm okay your review was incredibly long O.O! Though i don't mind let me just clear things up for you okay? True granted i took away Phantom's reason for joining the heroes and by right he wouldn't move. But first of all consider how Phantom feels, each and every time watching Aria feel so upset when she couldn't help someone in need or when she was forced through all the documents that needed her approval all because of the Black Mage. Wouldn't Phantom feel so helpless about it and want to help? Think about it. And secondly about Luminous, foresight is something that probably very few people have, again granted but who said there wouldn't be any premonition? For god sake they're light mages! If Mercedes's people could do it why can't they? And exactly, Luminous loving Lucia/Lania is a fan speculation but this is FAN fiction gee louise, if i didn't put something there it wouldn't come out right besides i think that Luminous loving Lucia/Lania is perfectly reasonable. Yes light magic, then tell me, do YOU know what the requirements to learn it are? It was never stated. The heroes may be able to learn it but why would Aran, Mercedes or Freud for that matter want to? Furthermore if there ARE requirements then i think it would be to possess the attribute of light.

And why couldn't Evan learn it? Think about it light magic is complicated learning even if a person has the attribute for it, they can't learn it instantly without any risks but serenity mages are specialized in that and they can teach it to those who have. And if following my theory, why would Luminous teach the others anyway? They had no real connection back then other then the fact that they all want to beat the Black Mage. Furthermore i didn't say it was ONLY a 'claw' i said it was black mist that entered serenity and only formed a claw when it wanted to reach out for Luminous. And can you count mist? Nope! and reasonably the black mage wouldn't send a pathetic amount to assault the serenity mages either. Evan is slightly more powerful then Luminous because he has the other heroes's techniques and besides currently luminous does NOT have his dark magic, when you play Luminous you realize that half of his skills are dark spells tell me why wouldn't Luminous be slightly weaker then what you picture him if he isn't a mage that focuses on Equilibrium between light and dark magic?

Then tell me how else Evan could have learnt besides training? That part of your review made no sense, in order to get stronger you train! If you stated that he trained then it means you contradicted the fact when you said 'magically become overpowered' even i know that it doesn't work that way! And seriously EunWol, are you even clear on his storyline? He sacrificed his existence to power up the spell! Do you know the extent of the word existence? It means what you are and what you've done as well as how you've lived your life if that is taken away what is left? Nothing. But EunWol is still alive somehow, however each time he crosses dimensions people would forget about him, how would Evan make a gravestone for him if he never knew that EunWol fought in the first place?! Hello~'Forgotten hero'? However in this fic he still has his existence as i'm trying to make that happen while sounding logical.

Well if what you said about Phantom is true then why did he even approached Freud in the trailer? People got to start from somewhere you know.(Also Phantom is a thief, one would be more careful around people like that. But Freud accepted Phantom and the feeling was mutual also, Phantom is more of person that would like to joke around so i think what i said fits his personality) Plus, i NEVER said that the black mage was the transcendent of time! I said that he wielded power of time after stealing it! Its not that i'm dissing what you say because what you said in your review doesn't exactly add up to canon maple or what i have wrote in my story either.

Oh wow that was long, i just wanted to set facts right first. Now then enjoy this chapter!

Freud and the rest were on Phantom's ship Lumiere on the third day morning as they peered at the barrier in front of them. "Phantom, I have just finished coating your incredibly and unreasonably large ship with the potion to break the barrier." Freud said sounding a tad bit irritated, Phantom told Renault to go ahead while he snickered as he remembered earlier that day.

After Aria finally convinced Phantom to leave her be in Ereve and quite literally shoved him into the discussion room did Phantom relent and paid attention to Freud's plan.

"Now then we just need transportation there, I think Afrien could fly us all there, he's big enough." Freud stated after finishing his explanation on what they were going to do in the temple of time. Mercedes and Aran had decided to leave their mounts in Ereve as traveling on land would take far too long. "How long would it take if we ride Afrien?" Phantom asked.

"About a few hours, unless you have a better method." Phantom smirked as he brought out a carte "Time I 'invited' you guys to my home. To the skies." He whispered and all of them present in the room (Aka Aran, Mercedes, Luminous, EunWol, Afrien and Freud) was transported using cards and onto a deck of the ship.

Phantom gave a dramatic bow as he led the dazed group inside "Welcome to my humble abode." Frankly, the group was quite shocked, Luminous just looked at it with slight distaste while the others in awe. "Just great, I need to make a larger dose to cover this ship." Freud mumbled.

"That's your problem?" Phantom said with an eyebrow raised "I more or less guessed that your home was exquisite like this, just not a floating one." Freud said in complete monotone. Phantom's smirk widened as he called out "Renault my man! Set a course to the temple of time!"

"Aye sir! We'll reach there in an hour!" Freud was slightly amazed that it only took one hour to reach the temple of time here, much to Phantom's pleasure.

The rest of the group were either exploring or sparring with one another. Lumiere sailed through the barrier with little interference as it forced its way into the Temple of time, Phantom slowly guided Renault on where to turn to avoid traps, Afrien was on the deck taking out monsters that came too close to the ship by blasting them into pieces. The group soon gathered outside as they reached the temple of time.

The black mage growled as he sensed something enter his territory. "Commanders, there are pests who have breached through the barrier, get rid of them. They're most likely the group Freud has made." The rest of the commanders seem to perk up at the sound of a challenge and left. The Black Mage stood, and went to see Rhinne.

Evan stopped observing the chains binding the goddess of time as he heard screams and yelling while some screamed "Intruders!" 'Fret not child. You have not been discovered.' Rhinne said making Evan breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but smile since he knew that the heroes were the ones who were causing the trouble. Evan sensed the disturbing black aura of the Black Mage and quickly pulled Laura and Mir to hide out in one of the empty rooms connected to the chamber.

"Ah goddess, even after I imprisoned you, you still illuminate beautifully." The black mage said with a smirk as he used his hand to touch Rhinne's face, his claws scraping against the porcelain skin, making Rhinne swat the hand away. "Do not touch me black mage." The black mage tutted as he pulled his hand away.

"As feisty as ever. No matter, soon you would no longer be around." The evil tyrant cackled as he walked out of the room, his black cloak swishing with the movement, closing the chambers with an echoing slam. Rhinne sighed as she waited for a few minutes for Evan to enter again, the brunette closed the door of the connected room gently to prevent any sound.

"I thought he was going to find out I was here. How is it that he doesn't notice me anyway? This cloak I'm wearing can only do so much." Evan asked curiously. "You can thank your friend Laura for that, she's been shrouding you for quite some time now." Rhinne explained as she glanced down at Evan who was beginning to write a few spells on the chains at the same time, loosening the bar of her cage.

Evan stopped and glanced at Laura with slight shock "Well, you can't assist me if you get caught can you?" She said with a wink, Evan smiled with appreciation as he gestured Mir to help him with the larger symbols. "At any case, I better hurry. Mir once I'm done with this, take Rhinne and flee I'll cast a spell which can shroud you for a few minutes and set up a decoy here so the Black Mage won't realize that the goddess is missing until its too late. Though I'll need a bit of mana from you goddess I hope you don't mind." Rhinne just smiled while showing a gesture that she didn't mind "Great. After that I'll meet with Von Leon and maybe Valfor as the heroes are causing a ruckus outside."

Mir nodded "Master, please promise me you'll come back alive." the dragon said telepathically and Evan nodded his head in acknowledgement as he stood up while writing the final symbol on the cage. Rhinne handed some mana to Evan as he infused it into a orb and left it exactly at where the goddess was "Release." the brunette whispered and all the symbols lighted up, causing the chains to shatter and the cage to fall apart. A split second later, Evan casted a shrouding spell before helping Rhinne mount Mir. "Ooh, I always wanted to ride on a dragon. My priests never allowed me though." Evan laughed before pushing the chamber door open and saw with relief as Mir leaped out of the room and took off. That was one thing he could get off his mind.

"Alright, lets go meet the commanders." Laura beckoned Evan with one hand as she leaded him to where Von Leon was.

What Evan forgot was that the chains looked eerily similar to the black mages'. Unfortunately, it was the black mage's chains and the tyrant stood up as he stormed towards Rhinne's cage only to be enraged as he found pieces of the cage there. His anger flew up to epic proportions as he crushed the glowing orb and stormed out the chamber. "Commanders! The goddess of time has escaped! FIND HER!" He bellowed, knowing fully well that his commanders could hear him. When the tyrant gets his claws on the idiot who would dare interfere with his plan, he would make sure that he or she wouldn't exist.

Evan gulped as he followed Laura, 'That, was fast. I didn't think he would notice it that quick!' he clamped his mouth shut as they went further into the hallway.

The heroes who were halfway storming froze at the sound of the black mage's enraged voice. "It seems as the hooded man managed to get here first." Phantom said with a smirk. "Well what now Freud?" Aran asked as her polearm conked the head of an unfortunate monster. "We'll wipe out as much of the Black Mage's army here and retreat when it gets too rough. I have a feeling that we're supposed to be distractions here."

"Well! I'm glad you know that I'm naturally distracting!" Phantom laughed as he stabbed his cane into a monster before pulling back and transformed it into and a dagger and slashed one of the monster's throat. Luminous scoffed beside him "He wasn't talking about that. He was saying that we're supposed to create a big ruckus as a distraction."

"I know that captain obvious, I was trying to lighten the mood!" Phantom argued, the two continued bickering while unintentionally beating up the surrounding enemies. Freud sighed while EunWol smiled at their antics, as long as it works he thought. Mercedes stood behind him as she shot an incoming charging bull on the forehead, Freud fried another that was trying to launch an aerial attack.

"Well?" Mercedes asked as she shot another. Freud gave a small chuckle as he brought out his wand "Alright, after you." Mercedes shot a snake like monster who was close to biting Freud as the auburn haired mage twisted around and launched a fireball at Mercedes's blind spot, effectively knocking out the monster who was about to pounce on her, the two were covering for each other. While Freud casted large spells Mercedes would play defense and Freud shielded her when she was focused on the front.

Afrien was with Aran and EunWol whom was ambushing and taking out monsters by bulk, though their methods were quite rough as they put a dent or two in a pillar and a crater or two in the ground. Freud made a mental note to apologize to the goddess of time later.

Things got out of hand as a black blur charged into the room, behind was several of the commanders and chains following what looks to be a dragon with the goddess of time onboard. Freud wanted to sweat drop as he noticed how much fun the transcendent was having as she pulled the dragon to avoid something or to cheer loudly. 'Get it together. Questions later.' "Guys! Protect that dragon! Its carrying Rhinne on! Stop the commanders!" The group finally noticed the transcendent with the commanders behind her trail, and although they wanted to question…..some things but they held it back and charged forward.

Aran intercepted Magnus, Freud and Afrien had Arkarium, EunWol got demon slayer, Phantom got orchid, Luminous had Guwaru and finally Mercedes got Hilla. Hilla groaned "Hey where's Von Leon?" She asked Magnus as she dodged Mercedes's oncoming shots. "Who knows? Last I saw him was when they took a different pathway to get here. All of us split up anyways, I'm surprised we managed to get here together." Magnus grunted out an answer as he parried Aran's polearm.

Freud turned to the dragon that was glancing at them and mouthed 'Go! Run!' The auburn haired mage was pleased as he noticed the dragon understood and roared before flying away. Luminous was sending light magic to prevent the chains from following and they could feel that the black mage was getting very irritated and enraged. Freud looked at the group and gestured for them to split up into different areas.

"And? Are you the intruder that set Rhinne free?" Von Leon gruffly asked. Evan nodded his head. "Yes, I did that." Von Leon started to scan Evan up and down "You know that the black mage would come after you if you did that, so why do it?"

"Its because I felt it wasn't right to cage someone like that. They deserve to be free, just like you do." Von Leon stared at Evan with confused eyes. "What do you mean?"

"….You remind me of someone I know. You're consumed in revenge, you want revenge for your wife, Laura. But is that what she truly wants you to do?" As he expected, Von Leon charged at him with anger and fury.

Well then, hmm what am i to say...*ponders about it*

Evan: *Glances at Fang and sighs* Please Review~
