To loveless an the living fantasy: LOL well wait no more! The death of Vossler is in this chapter! MWUAHAHA XD Haha i knoe, Balthier is...Balthier XD Haha shure, I'll listen to that song and give u feedback later :)

My POV:

We had no choice but to get back onboard the Leviathan. We were confronted by Judge Ghis, who was helmet-less. "Such a tremendous honor to again be graced with your presence, Majesty. You left us with such great dispatch upon our last encounter that I must confess... I had begun to worry that we may have give some cause for offense."

Ashe said sarcastically, "Such a heartfelt display of remorse. Now what is it you want?"

Ghis replied, "I want you to give me the nethicite.""The nethicite?" Penelo questioned as she held it in her hands. I sighed and shook my head.

"That is a base imitation! We seek Raithwall's legacy... the ancient relics of the Dynast-King: deifacted nethicite. Did you not tell them, captain Azelas?" Ghis asked Vossler. I snarled at him and Oniichan was holding my arm, preventing me from biting their heads off. Ashe gasped and Vossler appeared behind her.

"Majesty, he speaks of the Dawn Shard. That is the nethicite." Vossler explained.

"Are you mad, Vossler?" Basch asked.

"If we are to save Dalmasca, we must accept the truth. I will fight this profitless battle no more!" Vossler exclaimed.

Ghis said, "Captain Azelas has struck a wise bargain. In return for the Dawn Shard the Empire will... permit Lady Ashe to reclaim her throne, and the Kingdom of Dalmasca will be restored. Think on it. An entire kingdom for a stone. You must admit, 'tis more than a fair exchange."

"And when all is said and done, your master will have another pet." Balthier said, but he was ignored by Ghis.

"Oh come on Ghis, just admit it. You're a pet of Vayne. Nothing but a mere item." Oniichan added with a smirk.

"Mhm. Vayne's just using you. So, why don't you just….as me and my brother would say….fuck off?" I said simply with a smirk as I put one hand on my hip. I'm guessing we pissed off Ghis.

"Lady Ashe, let us take them for the people of Dalmasca. Your Majesty wallows in indecision on peril of their heads!" Ghis exclaimed as he drew out his sword and two other Imperials as well. Ghis' sword was pointed at Balthier's neck and so were the two Imperials to Oniichan and me. "And theirs shall be the first to fall." I just held my stance and my smirk remained the same.

"Well, at least your sword is to the point." Balthier said with a smirk. Ashe quickly handed the shard to Ghis and I just face-palmed.

"To think the relics of the Dynast-King were deifacted nethicite. Doctor Cid will be beside himself." Ghis explained. That piqued Balthier's interest and I looked at him.

Balthier looked at me, then back to Ghis."What did you say?" he asked Ghis.

"Captain Azelas, take them to Shiva. They should have leave to return to Rabanastre soon." Ghis ordered. We were escorted out by soldiers. I clutched my bag tightly as they brought us to Shiva. Our hands were then shackled and I groaned. We were standing in the ship, when Fran started freaking out.

"Fran?" Vaan and I asked worriedly.

"Such heat. The Mist - it's burning!" she exclaimed. Vaan, Penelo, Kai-nii, and I stood over her. All of a sudden, a soldier walked up to her.

"You, stand!" he commanded. He was going to touch her head, but an energy burst sent him flying backwards. I smiled. *Nice….* I thought.

"Hold her down!" Vossler ordered. Fran jerked up and we backed away as she started screaming. She broke free of her restraints and kicked a soldier, then jumped over to another soldier.

"What's wrong with her?" Penelo asked.

Balthier replied, "I always knew Fran didn't take well to being tied up. I just never knew how much." While the soldiers were distracted, Balthier removed his shackles as well. "How about you?" he asked.

Ashe exclaimed, "I like Fran's idea. Let's get out of here!" Balthier removed her shackles, and they removed ours. I rubbed my wrists, then I tightened my pouch and bag. We ran to the airship, but Vossler stood in our way, wielding his sword.

"No farther! Sky pirates! The future of Dalmasca will not be stolen!" Vossler exclaimed. He turned to Basch. "Why do this, Basch? This struggle is futile. You must know where it leads!"

"I know." Basch replied. As he said that, we all readied our weapons. I spun my blades as I started running towards Vossler.

"HIIIYAAA!" I shouted as I slashed him over and over. He grunted after taking the hits, but smirked and casted….Thunder on me. "Huh? WHO-AHHH!" I shouted as I was flung back by the electricity. "No no no! Make it stop!" I shouted as I kept covering my ears.

"Hikari!….ugh, Vossler, how low!" Ashe exclaimed as she narrowed her eyes at him.

"I will use any advantage I have of defeating you all." he replied. Vossler raised his hand to cast Thunder on me again, but was stopped by Basch, who tackled him to the ground. Balthier started shooting him, and so did Fran with her arrows. Everyone started to attack him, but I was still frozen on the ground. *No….there's no more thunder. I need to calm down and fight.* I thought as I slowly got up with my blades and raised my hand, focusing only on Vossler. I closed my eyes and casted Poison on him. I then casted Waterga on him, then I ran over to him and slashed him up. Once we defeated him, I was leaning onto Vaan, who held me in place. Vossler fell to his knees and my face was emotionless. Balthier let Fran lean on him as we all ran towards an escape ship. Oniichan was carrying me bridal style. As we were leaving, I noticed Basch talking with Vossler, both seemingly oblivious to the debris that was beginning to fall. We got on the airship and Oniichan let me down on a seat. I thanked him and I buckled myself up. Everyone else got ready and Balthier and Fran took their places.

"This might get a little dicey!" Balthier exclaimed.

"The Mist, it manifests now." Fran commented.

"Is that what you call this?" Vaan asked as we flew away. Once we were steady enough in the airship, Vaan instantly went over to my side. "Are you all right?" he asked me worriedly. I nodded and looked down. He sighed and hugged me tightly.

"H-huh?" I stuttered as I turned red. He placed his head on my shoulder.

"You worried me a lot." he whispered. I looked down with a small smile. I looked around and saw that Kai-niichan and Ashe were gone.

"Hey…..where's Kai-nii and Ashe?" I asked. Penelo turned to me with a knowing smile.

"They went out, somewhere. I'm guessing the deck or something. Or just right out that door." she answered. I smiled at her and nodded. Vaan smirked and sat down in his seat.

"Hey….Basch." I called to him. He turned to me with a questioning look. "You think my older brother and Ashe make a great couple?" I asked him with a smile. He looked shocked, then had on a faint smile.

"I do think Kai and the Majesty make…quite a good pair. If…she were to ever let go of His Majesty, then I would think your brother would be suited for her." Basch replied. I nodded in satisfaction and smiled.

"Well well Hikari, you seem to be talking about your brother and Ashe making a good couple, but what about you and Vaan? Don't you think you two would make a dashing couple?" Balthier asked slyly as he piloted. I swear I saw him smirking. I turned red and looked down, while Vaan coughed and looked another way.

"W-what a-are you talking about B-Balthier? S-shut up!" I shouted quite loudly. All of a sudden, the door opened and Ashe and Kai-niichan came in….holding hands! I gasped excitedly and stood up. "Don't tell me…" I said with a smile. Kai-niichan grinned and nodded. "OH MY GAH! OMG OMG OMG!" I squealed excitedly as I sprinted to both of them and hugged both of them tightly. Ashe was surprised at what had I just done, but let out a small chuckle and hugged me back. Kai-niichan did too.

"Oh wow! Congrats you two!" Penelo exclaimed.

"Nice one!" Vaan exclaimed as he bumped fists with me. Basch turned around and gave a slight nod, then walked over to Kai-nii. He looked at him and that was all he needed to do. Basch smiled faintly.

"Take care of her well if you wish to court her." Basch simply said. Kai-nii nodded. Fran turned around quickly to smile and nod.

"Congratulations. You two match." she said with a hint of happiness in her voice. She turned back around, then Balthier turned our way.

"I must say…you two do make quite the couple. Just make sure the people don't find out just yet." Balthier advised. Kai-nii and Ashe nodded.

"And how did this happen? Ashe, aren't you still-" I was cut off by Ashe shaking her head.

"I think…even though I love Rasler very much still. I think….I should move on. I think he'd want that." Ashe said with a smile as she looked at her ring on her finger.

"You still love Rasler?" I asked her with a smile.

"In my heart, yes. But, as long as I'm willing to move on, but still love him in my heart, then I'll be ok." she replied. I nodded and we all sat down.

"Now then, isn't there one more couple to be formed in here?" Balthier asked, rather, teasingly. Vaan and I both cleared our throats while we looked opposite ways. Everyone started laughing and I just blushed with a faint smile on my face.
