Chapter 20: The Ship to Colosso: Part 1 of 5: The Voyage Begins: Missing Good Luck Charm!

After leaving Vale in the morning, the party were heading back to Kalay to discuss their next move, suddenly, an orange energy flew up to them and the energy disappeared to reveal an Djinni, a Venus one that is.

"Another Djinni!" Mina gasped. "Yep! That's right! I'm Vine and I challenge you to a Djinni Battle! If you win, I will tag along with you, I won't run away from this one!" Vine offered.

"Okay, then." Zoey smiled as she transformed. "We accept your challenge!"

Vine: The Venus Djinni

"Briar!" Vine made some vines appear below Isaac, Garet and Zoey's feet, hitting them. "Flare!" Garet shouted as he hurled a fireball at him, giving him some medium damage. Zoey rapidly kick Vine three times. "Oof!" Vine winced but make a Quake Psynergy attack appear and hit Isaac. "Gaia!" Isaac slams his fist on the ground and made an earthquake attack hit Vine for large damage. "Spire!" Zoey shouted as she made a stone spire hit Vine for big damage. "Not bad, but can you handle this?" Vine glowed with orange energy and slams into the earth, resulting into a huge earthquake but not large, the three dodged it. "Flare Storm!" "Ragnarok!" "Mother Gaia!" The three Psynergy Warriors combined their attacks to give Vine the finishing blow.

"Well done! You have earn my trust! Now who to choose…" He eyed Garet. "Surely, you sir?" "M-Me? But I'm a Mars Adept!" Garet gasped.

"Ah, true, but when Mars and Venus combined their powers, their Psynergy grows slightly, meaning they can learn new kinds of Psynergy for battle or overcoming obstacles." Vine offered. "Okay, I'll let you hang out with me, Vine." Garet smiled slightly. Vine nodded happily as he flew into Garet's pocket, (By flying he shrunk so he can fit in his pocket, Djinni have the power to shrink and grow, I made that up for the story.)

As the party entered Kalay, they noticed a crowd walking towards the entrance.

"Hey, what's going on?" Lita asked confusedly. The party pay close attention to what the crowd is going on about.

"Alright, once we have gotten everything ready, we will be leaving to Colosso!" The tour guide beamed. The tour group roared in excitement.

"Yeah, we better get there since the road was blocked by that landslide!" A blue haired warrior named Sean stated. "Relax, Sean, we'll take the boat through the Karagol Lake!" A red haired warrior smiled, his name was Ouranos.

"But what about the monsters at the Karagol Lake?" A woman asked. "Um…" The tour guide sweat dropped. "We'll… We'll think of something, alright is everyone present?" He begin counting and found out there is only one person missing.

"Okay… There is one person missing, so we can't afford to waste time waiting for him, so let's board the boat at Kalay Docks!" The crowd nodded in agreement and begin to leave, unknown to them, an old man was panting heavily to catch up to them.

"Colosso?" Reina asked confusedly. "I heard of that tournament before." Ivan began.

"It's a tournament held every year to determine the strongest in the Angara continent. It's held in Tolbi, and I hear its leader is Lord Babi, a very gentle man."

"Hmm…" Ryoko's mouth form a smile. "I say we take the boat to Tolbi, maybe we can get a clue on Saturos and the others." "Shampoo agrees with Ryoko." Shampoo nodded.

"Alright, it's decided then." Isaac smiled, as the party left, Melona and Menace were eavesdropping on the conversation.

"Colosso, eh?" Melona wondered. "Maybe we should enter it too?" Menace asked. "Yep! We are, we're gonna enter it and win what prize it has! Come on, it'll be fun!" Melona beamed as she dragged Menace by the arm and they secretly followed them.

At Kalay Docks…

"Are all of you taking the boat ride to Tolbi?" The woman at the counter asked. "Yes, we are." Mia answered politely. "Very well then, that'll be 8000 gold." "Deal." Isaac paid her their hard earned gold from fighting monsters.

As the party begin to board the boat, unknown to them, Melona and Menace asked for a ticket to Tolbi.

"I'm sorry, ladies, but we're all out of tickets, plus I can't give it to scantly dressed women." The woman apologized.

"WHAT!" Menace gasped. "Oh come on!" She begged. "Just let it go, Menace…" Melona moaned. "I have another idea."

When the party was on the boat, Garet was amazed by the sea. "So this is the ocean Kraden was talking about!" He said amazed.

"Garet…" Alleyne said sternly. "I learned that the Karagol Sea is surrounded by land, so technically, this isn't the ocean." "Oh…" Garet made a face. The tour group arrived shortly.

When the tour group entered the guest cabin, the party heard a commotion.

"I wonder what could have happened." The Captain asked as he rubbed his chin. "You mean you still intend to cross this dangerous sea?" A sailor who wore a blue bandana questioned.

"It would be too big a loss to let so many passengers get away…" The captain stated. Blue turned to a man named Kaja.

"Say Kaja, how are the oarsmen doing?" He asked. "They're fearless, there's no problem. It's just that…" Kaja stopped in mid sentence.

"It's just that what?" The captain demanded. "If a whole bunch of them appear while we're crossing the sea, I won't be able to handle them alone." Kaja frowned.

"I'm sorry, but you'll have to. No else will fight but you, Kaja." Blue reasoned.

"Remember, the oarsmen will have their hands full rowing. They can't fight. There's nothing we can do… Let's set sail!" The captain ordered.

"WHAT!" Blue gawked. "If we set sail, we'll never reach Tolbi!"

"It's alright." The captain grinned. "We have a protective amulet!" Kaja looked at him in confusion.

"Amulet… Amulet, you say…" He figured it out. "You mean that little anchor charm?"

"It's okay. My lucky amulet has protected us from danger." He boasted. "That's silly! That's just superstition!" Blue growled.

"It's okay. We'll be fine. Even if we can't find any mercenaries, that little charm will protect us. Now then, let's hurry up! Prepare to set sail! This is great… We'll be setting sail soon!" The captain proclaimed. Blue was thinking "Not if I can do something about it…' He then walked into the Captain's quarters.

"Let's follow him so we can find out what's he up to." Nowa suggested as she dragged Garet by the arm and followed him. "We should follow them as well." Vash suggested. The party nodded and got near the Captain's quarters, they hid near the side and saw Blue exiting the quarters with something in his hand, he then went to the top of the mast.

"What's he got there?" Amara asked. "I don't know… But I got a bad feeling about this." Hotaru said seriously.

After watching him leave, Garet and Nowa volunteered to go check the mast.

As the two were near the ladder, Garet said "Ladies first." He smiled. "Thanks Garet. You're really nice." Nowa smiled as she went up the ladder. When it was Garet's turn, he looked up and almost had a nose bleed. He turned white at the sight of That…

"W-W-Why doesn't she wear any underwear?" He muttered as he waited for Nowa to be on top, he followed suit.

"Hmm… I wonder… Aha!" Nowa grinned as she got out the lucky anchor. "Come on, let's go give back to the captain." Garet smiled as he let Nowa climb back down first so he can't see Nowa's you know what.

As they got down, Isaac walked up to them. "Guys, we need to go over to the captain's cabin." "Yeah, the captain's throwing a fit now that his anchor charm is gone." Kikki nodded.

The party walked up to the captain in worry after his conversation with the tour group. "Excuse us?" Amy asked politely. "Is this your lucky charm?" Garet gave him the charm.

"Why… yes it is! How did you find it? Never mind, I am in your debt. With it, we can set sail." The captain smiled. "Then let us fight the monsters on the way to Tolbi, we may not look like it, but we're harden warriors who can use a few odd powers or two." Reina offered.

"Hmm… Very well then, we can use the help we can get!" "Then let us fight too!" Sean offered, Ouranos nodded in agreement.

"Very well." The captain nodded before he putted his lucky charm on the control wheel. "Alright! All hands on deck! We sail off now!"

"Aye aye!" Kaja saluted. "We should head outside." Alleyne suggested, the party nodded in agreement as they went to the deck. "Oh boy! I can't wait!" Hinagiku beamed.

The ship begin to set sail, at the back is a tug boat tied to the back with Melona and Menace in it.

"This is your idea?" Menace glared at her partner in crime. "Hey don't look at me! This is the best I could come up with!" Melona stated nervously.

The trip to Colosso begins!
