Author's note: 500 views?! Thanks! I couldn't be any more happier!
Before we begin, I'd like to point out that, yes, there will be FE:A characters that will pop up every now and then, but I don't want to spoil their fates right here.
Also, Reflet (aka Robin) is female in this fic.
Anyways, thanks for waiting!

I had been researching on the odd history of these six planets, as well as the creatures that reside on them, and to my surprise, there were two that clearly caught my eye: the first was the Hellbeast himself, though he's rumored to bear the name 'Red'. The other was Solomon, who is Red's brother.
From the looks of it, Solomon was supposed to be his father's successor, and that clearly pissed Red off. Which reminds me; is it possible to come into contact with Solomon and find out a strategy to defeat Red...?

Without Melissa's voice to explain to me about Extus, I took a deep breath, before I began my investigation into the planet. I chose to locate what was to be a large white temple, and out of curiosity, I entered it.
But the moment I was within the temple, I heard a swooping sound, and just as I turned around, I gasped. I aimed my gun at the intruder with blue fur and red eyes, until he landed and looked at me straight in the eye.
"Put away your weapon. I am not here to hurt you." the intruder said.
I immediately put my space gun back in its holster, and ask, "Who...Who are you?"
"I am Solomon." he replied. "I had been expecting you since the attack on the compound on Mars."
"You...you know us?!" I asked, eyes widening in surprise.
"Indeed. You are also a handful of survivors that escaped the compound, while many others were killed by my brother's men in the process." he said.
"But...the survivors I found on the other planets...they're all dead!" I exclaimed.
"I see...but rest assured, there will be some on Extus that will anticipate your arrival." he said.
"But...why?" I asked.
"Because you are Acacius incarnate, and it is your destiny to assist me in taking out my brother, who went out of his way to turn everything upside down." he replied.
"Figuratively, of course." I added.
"Exactly." Solomon said, then got into his flight stance, his wings flapping every few seconds. "Hop on." he said.
"Oh dear...this is like something out of a fantasy novel! I must be dreaming!" I exclaimed as I mounted him.
"This is not a dream, young lady. It is reality." he told me.
I nodded, and as we took flight, I brought out my space gun, ready to aim whenever an enemy came within our view. Suddenly, the entrance was blocked by a blue pillar of light, and a feminine voice called out to us.
"Find the gem."
"What gem?" I asked.
"The Ruby of Freedom. Those who enter this temple are locked in tight, unless they want a way out by finding the ruby. Unfortunately, it's considered a death wish." Solomon replied.
"Really?" I said, eyes widened in shock.
Regardless, we swept through the temple, and encountered a pair of butterfly-like creatures with eyes that opened and closed, two disembodied ghost-like heads that emitted beams from its mouth, and a very odd-looking grey monster with tentacles for a face and narrow 'arms' that resembled the sides of a fork.
I was able to shoot down the butterfly-like monsters, while Solomon took care of the ghost-like heads by deflecting the beams, and attacking them with his wings, which I found to be pretty cool, in my opinion (though I had to hold on in order to not fall). He also took out the grey monster by kicking at it, and I shot at its 'face' a few times, killing it in the process.
We were then able to come across a rather big obstacle: a pair of guillotine-mouthed creatures were obscuring the path to the gem, and after I took a deep breath, I held on as the blue creature was able to zip past through them. It seemed that he didn't break a sweat the whole time, and as we reached the end, we saw another grey-colored creature, only it had angel-like wings, a human-like body and humanoid arms, though there was a red, glowing face in the middle of its chest.
"You dare take this gem from my greedy hands?" it asked.
I looked up and saw that the area, which was supposed to be its head, was actually the placeholder for the gem. Suddenly it quickly lunged for us, blasting a projectile in four different directions, but to my surprise, Solomon once again dodged it, and his red eyes suddenly emitted a heat beam, hitting the enemy in the face.
I gave it a few more shots with my gun, until it was swiftly defeated. The gem then landed on the ground, and after dismounting my ally, I picked it up.
And with that, Solomon flapped his wings, and we flew back to the entrance, where I placed the ruby in the pillar, and the light disappeared, as did the ruby. We then exited the temple, and after I dismounted him yet again, I said, "My name's Lilia, by the way."
"It is an honor to meet you, Lilia. By the way, you forgot this from the compound on Mars; I went through Hell and back to fetch it for you. Is this a keepsake of yours?" he said, before unfastening a chain that was around his neck, and handing me what appeared to be a disk.
It said, 'Led Zeppelin: Still The Best World Tour 1973'
I gasped, and exclaimed, "I was gonna bring this with me the moment I escaped, but I didn't have enough time to do so! How...?!"
"My comrades assumed you have good taste in music." Solomon said.
I chuckled, before I smiled and said, "Thanks." before putting the disk in a pocket in my suit.
Now, we were on to another located on Extus: the Bronze Pyramids.
