Book 2: Jupiter and Mars

Chapter 1: Switching Sides: A New Goal

(Felix's POV)

My name is Felix. I come from the village of Vale in the world of Weyard and I am here to tell you the legend of Alchemy and the Maidens of Hope or Ruin.

Ages ago, or so the stories tell, the power of Alchemy ruled over the world of Weyard. Alchemy wrought the base elements of humanity into thriving civilizations, like lead into gold. But in time, man's dreams gave birth to untold strife. Dreams of endless riches, of eternal life, of dominion over all that lived... Dreams of conquest and of war. These dreams would have torn the world apart if not for a few brave and wise men, who sealed away the power of Alchemy deep in Mt. Aleph's Sol Sanctum. But before it was almost destroyed, there were 8 women from the Kingdom of Hallis, the Maidens of Hope. They helped teach the ancients about Alchemy and its uses before the great war, but they have a terrible secret within. They don't know how to control the unstable Psynergies in their bodies and their unstable Psynergies almost destroyed the world of Weyard. Hence, they were sometimes called the Maidens of Ruin, but something happened that helped them controlled their Psynergies, but the records do not say about it.

I was born in the village of Vale which guarded the secret for generations till my sister, Jenna and my childhood friend, Isaac disturbed the sanctum. Saturos and Menadri, who saved my life followed them and I have no choice but to follow their orders. That is where Zoey, Reina and their friends appeared from their worlds. Saturos and Menadri believed they were the Maidens of Hope and they were right. We stole the Elemental Stars, well three of them actually while Isaac holds the Mars Star and we dragged Jenna and Kraden along for the ride.

We managed to lit the beacon on Mercury Lighthouse, but still, Isaac, the Maidens and their friends from this world and other worlds pursue us still. I don't want to fight Isaac… He and I were friends since childhood. They learned from the ruler of Tolbi, Lord Babi that he managed to live for many years using a mystic draught from the ancient land of Lemruia. But during their pursit, we kidnapped a mysterious girl under Babi's care, a Wind Adept named Sheba. Eventually, they managed to pursue us to Venus Lighthouse and this is where our side of the story begins… We may have a chance to save our world from dying…

(Normal POV… In Venus Lighthouse.)

Felix used Move to move the statue into a switch, dispelling the electric barrier. "All set." Felix smiled. He turned to his sister, Jenna and the scholar Kraden.

"Felix…" Jenna said sadly. "You're gonna confront Isaac and his friends, are you?" Felix looked down. "Don't worry, I won't harm them. But maybe… we can convince the Maidens to join our cause. With their help, we can save our parents." Felix assured her with a smile.

"Still…" Kraden scratched his beard. "…Never mind. We hope you come back to us at Idejima." Felix nodded as he went up the stairs, Jenna and Kraden passed through the dispelled barrier and watched as the barrier got back up. Kraden headed for the stairs, but Jenna stopped.

Concerned, Kraden turned to Jenna. "Something troubling you, Jenna?" Kraden asked her in concern. Jenna looked down. "I just…" Jenna said sadly.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Kraden asked her. "I had a bad feeling… Like something bad is gonna happen." Jenna said in worry.

Suddenly, Alex teleported into the room. "How unlike you, Jenna." Alex frowned as he crossed his arms.

Jenna and Kraden were surprised to see Alex. "Surprised to see me?" Alex smirked. "A-Alex… Were you listening?" Kraden gasped.

Alex looks around, he turned to the two with a frown. "Where is Felix? Why isn't he here with you?" Jenna frowned and said "My brother? He left us."

Alex's frown deepens. "What can Felix possibly be thinking?" He muttered. "He was worried about Sheba. He went to check up on her." Kraden told him.

"He was supposed to be leading you out of here! I thought you would have been far from this lighthouse by now. Why are you still here?" Alex demanded.

"We tried to stop Felix from going back up the aerie." Kraden told him. Alex sighed. "How like him. Once Felix gets an idea in his head, he rarely changes his mind." Alex stated coldly.

"Alex, what were you talking about just now? What did you mean by when you said… "How unlike you?"" Jenna questioned. Alex smirked and said "I was merely surprised to hear you expressing such concern, Jenna. Nevertheless, I'm impressed Felix went back…" He stated coolly.

Jenna puffed her cheeks in anger. "Don't change the subject, Alex!" Jenna shouted annoyed. "What do you mean! Are you saying I'm insentivie!" Kraden sweat dropped at Jenna's outburst.

"If that's what you heard, then I must have misspoken. Accept my apologies." Alex stated coolly. "Well, Jenna, I think Alex has said his place on the matter…" Kraden stated.

Jenna frowned some more and crossed her arms. "I'm not sure he has, Kraden." Jenna turned to Alex with an angry glare. "Who do you think you are, talking to me like that!" She shouted angrily.

Alex frowned and looked away. "I retract my statement, my dear. Forget all about it, Jenna. So tell me this feeling, Jenna." Alex asked amused. Jenna looked down and said "I'm just… I'm not sure we should be leaving just yet…"

"What are you saying?" Kraden asked, surprised. "You can't really mean to remain here…" Alex frowned. "Alex is right. It's far too dangerous, Jenna. We would only hinder the others…" Kraden nodded in agreement with Alex.

"The others?" Jenna blinked, but figured it out. "Did Isaac and his friends followed us here?" She asked. "It would seem so." Kraden nodded.

"Along with the Maidens, no doubt." Alex added. "Then they must be trying to stop Saturos and Menadri from lighting the lighthouse! If my brother, Felix goes back and finds Isaac, they're gonna fight!" Jenna whimpered.

Alex just smirked coolly and simply said "If the beacon is unlit, yes, they will fight." "Felix is a terriblly rash young man, is he not?" Kraden smiled nervously.

"Why are boys such fools?" Jenna sighed and shook her head. "He may be rash, but Felix is no fool. His good qualities outweigh his bad…" Kraden assured her.

"That's why I think Isaac would understand if we just talked to him." Jenna smiled as she snapped her fingers in a idea way. "Why didn't I think of this before now?" Jenna turned to Alex with a pleading look. "Please… Can we go back up and talk to Isaac?" Jenna pleaded.

Alex shook his head no. "I'm afraid that's not possible." Alex told her. "Alex, why?" Jenna questioned. "He is an enemy." Alex stated firmly.

"Isaac? An enemy?" Jenna blinked. "Our methods may differ, but you and I ultimately want the same thing…" Alex said.

"To light the elemental lighthouses…" Kraden has a serious look on his face. "Isaac and his friends would prevent this from happening." Alex folded his arms again.

"So that would make them enemies?" Jenna looked down. "But fear not…" Alex smirked coolly. "They would never defeat Saturos and Menadri." Alex turned to Kraden. "So… Felix went back to the top of the lighthouse?" Alex asked him.

"Why do you seem so pleased, Alex?" Kraden questioned. "Why shouldn't I be? After all, the lighthouse will soon shine brightly once again!" Alex sniggered. "Why do you want to see the beacon lit so badly and want the Maidens of Hope, Alex?" Jenna questioned.

Alex frowned. "Oh, so it's my turn to answer questions, is it? Once, Alchemy was commonplace throughout the world of Weyard… With its power, mankind worked wonders across the land…" Alex explained.

"The lost age of man…" Kraden frowned. "I want to see that world restored once again with the help of the Maidens of Hope, and…" Alex stopped midsentence.

"And what, Alex?" Jenna asked, suspicious. Alex turned to her with a eerie smile and replied "We've spoken long enough already. Let us continue this another time. We should leave the lighthouse now, before the beacon is fired…" Kraden nodded in agreement and said "I concur… Let us meet at the location we agreed on and wait for Felix."

"Alright, Kraden. Let's go." Jenna nodded. And they exited the lighthouse.

They were outside the entrance till they heard "There they are! Get'em!" Five soldiers and five other men arrived to confront them.

"Iodem sent us to stand guard here, but…" The first soldier growled. "I never thought we would encounter them!" The second solder added.

"Scoundrels! What have you done with Sheba!" A worker growled. "Return her now, or you're gonna regret it!" The second worker issued.

"Um…" A fourth soldier looked at them. "Aren't there supposed to be more of them?" The fifth solder realized that and said "Huh… Maybe they're just the first ones to come out…" He figured.

"Great!" A fourth worker grinned. "That means we've got them outnumbered!" "We can probarly take them, you think?" The fifth worker guessed.

The fifth solder turned to a third soldier. "Go fetch the other Tolbi solders and the warriors chosen by Lord Babi in Lalivero!" He ordered. The third solder nodded and went to Lalivero.

"And we'll go tell the others in the caves, too!" The fifth worker, possibly the boss added. "Got it, Boss!" The third worker nodded.

"How unfortunate…" Kraden frowned deeply. "It looks like an ambush. What should we do, Jenna?" He asked her. Jenna was skeptic. "What do you mean? Look around… We'll have to fight them!" Jenna frowned.

"Are you serious? Jenna, are you really prepared to fight those men?" Alex frowned in a disapprove way. "We don't have any choice. We have to…" Jenna looked down in guilt.

"Well then. Allow me to shoulder some of your burden." Alex smirked as he stepped forward. "…Burden?" Kraden arched an eyebrow. Alex turned to Kraden.

"We regroup along the road leading away from Lalivero. Do you understand?" Alex asked them. "Of course. It's in the direction opposite Lalivero." Jenna nodded.

"Follow this road west, and take the path down through the canyon to the cave. On the other side of that cave, you will find a small peninsula called Idejima. We meet there. Thankfully, those workers block your route." Alex smirked.

"And fortunealy…." Jenna smiled a little. "They don't look that tough…" Kraden added. "Hello! We can hear you!" The first worker growled. "That's just plain rude!" The second worker added.

Alex ignore the workers and said "Why don't the two of you escape and leave the Tolbi soldiers to me?" Alex suggested.

"The two of us? Alone?" Jenna blinked. "You can use Psynergy, can't you, Jenna?" Jenna merely nodded. "Then you'll be fine. We shall reconvene at the peninsula." Alex stepped forward.

"You think you can take on Tolbi's finest soldiers on your own, little man?" The first soldier scoffed. "I do not wish to inflict unnecessary bloodshed." Alex said calmly.

"Don't wish to…" The second solder has a anger vein on his forehead. "What's that supposed to mean?" He demanded. Alex sniggered as he snapped his fingers, making a geyser appear below the soldier, knocking him out.

"W-What was that!" The third solder gawked. "Don't know, but it's way out of my league!" The fifth solder turned to the workers. "You wait here till back up arrives."

The workers gulped in fear as they high tailed it out of here. The soldiers sweat dropped before looking at Alex, when he moved, the soldiers screamed and ran away in fear.

"They mentioned back up from Lalivero. I will deal with them while the two of you head to Idejima." Alex told them as he head off to destroy the backup.

"You heard the man. Let's hurry!" Kraden shouted. Jenna nodded before turning to the Venus Lighthouse. 'Felix, Isaac… Please be okay!' Jenna and Kraden went to Idejima.

Jenna had to use her Psynergy to defeat some workers who found out Alex wasn't with them. Eventually, they made it to Idejima.

Jenna and Kraden made it towards the ship from Book 1. They looked around, unknown to them that a certain bunny girl and ghost queen were watching them by their hiding spot.

"This is the place, isn't it?" Kraden asked her. "Yes. Idejima." Jenna nodded. "The peninsula at the end of the road to the west… That's what he told us. Hm… Menadri said a ship would be here…" Kraden scratched his chin.

Jenna noticed the ship and shouted "Over there!" The two ran up to it. "At first glance, it seems like a normal ship, but… There's something odd about it…" Without hesitation, Kraden went into the ship.

"Kraden, wait!" Jenna tried to stop him, but failed. Jenna sighed and muttered "Oh I swear! You're like a kid with a new toy!" After awhile, he still hasn't come back up. Jenna growled and stomped her feet and shouted "Hurry it up in there!"

Kraden returns after 2 minutes with a frown. "What's wrong?" Jenna asked him. "It's missing…" Kraden said seriously.

"Hm?" Jenna's eyebrows arched in confusion. "What are you talking about?" She asked. "The thingie… that makes it go." Kraden stated. "What do you mean? What's so important about this… thingie?" Jenna frowned as she puffed her cheeks.

"The boat can't move without it…" Kraden sighed. Jenna stomped her feet in anger. "Oh that Menadri! She tricked us!" Jenna steamed. "Tricked us?" Kraden asked, a sweat drop on his head.

"Yeah, by passing this dud boat on us!" Jenna screamed. "There's no trick." Kraden shook his head no. "If this boat's a dud, how did it get here in the first place?" Kraden questioned.

Jenna tried to think up a good answer, but failed and sweat dropped. "Good point…" Jenna sighed. Kraden started pacing, thinking. "It must be the orb…" Kraden figured.

"What orb?" Jenna asked. "Don't you remember the crystal Saturos was carrying?" Kraden asked her. "You mean the big black pearl thing?" Jenna guessed. "I'm certain he has it. With it, he could move the ship with it." Kraden stated. "Kraden! Jenna!" Alex ran up to them.

"There you are. I see you have found the boat. We set sail as soon as the beacon has been fired, correct?" Alex asked them. Jenna nodded and the three of them watched the lighthouse from afar.

2 minutes has passed and the beacon hasn't been fired. "Strange…" Kraden muttered.

"What is it?" Alex asked him. "The beacon… It hasn't been lit yet." Kraden stated. Alex frowned. "You're right… Why is it taking so long?" He wondered. "And why hasn't my brother returned?" Jenna said in worry.

Suddenly, light began to shine from the aerie. The area around the lighthouse vibrates. "They done it, Jenna! They've lit the beacon!" Kraden smiled. Then, the vibration began to get worse, resulting in a earthquake.

"What's happening, Kraden!" Jenna gasped as she struggled to retain her footing. "Why won't the ground stop shaking?" Then, the lighthouse made more earthquakes.

"Strange… I think it might actually get worse!" Alex gasped. "I think the lighthouse is collapsing! Look!" She pointed to the lighthouse being split in half like in Book 1. "The ground around it is crumbling!" Jenna gawked.

"Mercury Lighthouse didn't react this way… What makes Venus different?" Kraden wondered. Then, the earthquake severed Idejima from the mainland. "That last tremor tore a rift in the Suhalla Range!" Alex pointed out.

"How are we gonna go back to Gondowan now!" Jenna panicked. Idejima begin to drift out to sea. "Oh no!" Melona panicked. "We're drifting out into sea, my highness!" Setra gawked. "What will happen to us!" Menace panicked, keeping her voice down.

Some time has passed.

Jenna and Kraden were lying down on the grass in thought. "Oh Kraden… How long will this island continue to drift?" Jenna moaned.

"I don't know… I wish you could tell me…" Kraden shrugged. "Seesh…" Jenna growled. "You're no help in times like this." Kraden's stomach growled. "Hey, I'm hungry…" Kraden moaned.

Jenna stood up in anger. "How could you be thinking of food at a time like this!" Jenna gritted her teeth, a firey aura appeared around her. "I wonder what happened to my brother…" Jenna sighed sadly.

"I can't be certain., but it looks like they fired the Venus beacon." Kraden told her. "Yeah, I know. You don't have to tell me that. That's how we wound up adrift at sea, right?" Jenna muttered.

"My, aren't you cranky today, Jenna!" Kraden chuckled. "Well, I supposed you're just worried about Felix." Jenna looked down in sadness.

"Isaac, Zoey, Reina and the others must have been at the lighthouse, too." Jenna guessed. Kraden merely nodded and said "Maybe so…" Jenna looked at the skies in sadness. "I miss them… Isaac… Felix… I wish I get to know Zoey, Reina and their friends more when we first met…" Jenna sighed. Alex walked up to them.

"Come with me. There is something I wish to show you." Alex smiled. Curious, Jenna and Kraden who got up walked with Alex to discover 10 figures, two of them they reconzied, but the other 8 and pink monkey are…

"By the Wise One! It's Zoey, Corina, Bridget, Kikki, Renee, Reina, Alleyne, Nowa and Lou!" Kraden gasped in shock. "Felix! Sheba!" Jenna shouted happily, the 10 people were asleep. The two happy to see their friends again rushed to their aid.

"…oey! Zoey! Wake up!" Zoey moaned as she slowly opened her eyes. Her vision was getting cleaer, but she gasped in shock as she saw who it was. It was Jenna! "J-Jenna?" Zoey gawked as she got up, the rest of her friends and the Queen's Blade Combatants and Lou got up as well.

"W-Where are we?" Nowa rubbed her eyes. "Guys! It's you!" Jenna squealed happily. "Jenna!" Kikki shouted happily. "It's so good to see you again!" Jenna hugged Zoey. Zoey hugged her back.

"Last thing I remember that we were fighting Saturos and Menadri, but how did we end up here?" Reina wondered. "We and the other Djinni carried you to this island." Reina's Djinni, Corona explained..

"How?" Corina asked confusedly. "Something happened at Venus Lighthouse and all of you fell into the ocean. Luckily, Felix and Sheba and us Djinni managed to get you to Idejima." Flash told her.

"At long last, the Maidens are in our grasp…" Alex stated coolly. "Alex!" Reina growled as the 8 otherworldly visitors got into battle stances. "Now now, let's not be hastily. First things first, we will explain everything." Kraden wisely intervened. Sheba moaned as she too got up.

"J-Jenna? Is that you?" Sheba asked as she rubbed her eyes. "Good to see you're safe, Sheba.." Jenna said happily as she begin to explain why the island id drifting.

"I see… So Venus Lighthouse caused that and Saturos-" "What happened to him and Menadri?" Alex asked her. Felix got up. "They're dead, Alex. Isaac and the others killed them." Alex gasped in shock.

"What? You expect me to believe Isaac killed them?" Felix nodded. "They have grown powerful then…" Alex mumbled. "Felix… did you saved us from drowning?" Zoey asked him.

Felix nodded with a smile. "It is my duty to protect one of the Maidens of Hope and the other Maidens from danger." That saying made her blush. "Still… How are we gonna get off this island?" Renee asked as she folded her arms.

Kraden noticed a continent when the island is drifting by. "I see land!" The others turned to see it. "Drat… and it's drifting away as we speak…" Alleyne frowned.

"How are we gonna get off this island?" Bridget said in worry. Felix then heard something, he turned around and frowned.. "Oh shoot…" He grimaced.

"What? What's wrong?" Jenna asked him, she and the party turned around and their eyes except for Alex widen in shock. "Everyone hang on!" Sheba screamed as the tidal wave hit them.

30 minutes later.

"Everyone okay?" Felix asked everyone, Alex was absent from the party. "I'm wet…" Corina complained as she shook her self, everyone nodded in agreement. They h=just woke up and saw that Idejima has hit the new continent.

"Good…" Felix smiled. "Hold on!" Zoey marched straight up to Felix's face. "Give me one good reason we should trust you! You're trying to destroy this world by lighting the Lighthouses!" Zoey growled.

Felix was taken back by thus. 'Guess we have no choice…' "…It's because our parents are being held prisinor…" "What?" Reina gasped. Kraden cleared his throat.

"You see… Felix and Jenna's parents are being held by Saturos and Menadri's clan of the north. And the only reason they will release them if is Felix can light the two remaining lighthouses. Felix and Jenna's parents have survived the boulder three years ago at Vale. Felix has no choice but to follow by their demands." Kraden stated.

"It's true." Jenna nodded. "I was shocked when Saturos told me our parents are still alive. So please, I want you to stop trying to stop us from lighting the beacons on the lighthouse and help us light the beacons! Please!" Jenna pleaded.

Zoey, Reina and her friends closed their eyes in thought then opened them. "I see… Then we have no choice but to light the Jupiter and Mars beacons." Reina stated.

"I feel bad betraying Isaac and the others…" Kikki looked down in sadness. "But we have to do this to save Felix and Jenna's parents." Nowa said seriously. "Alright. We'll help you, Felix." Zoey smiled at her.

"Zoey… Reina… Everyone… Thank you…" Felix smiled warmly at her, which made her blush again. Sheba noticed a town not far from their location. "Maybe we should start asking questions in that town over there." Sheba suggested.

"Good eye, Sheba!" Corina grinned. "Alright. Looks like the journey's only beginning." Bridget closed her eyes and smiled. "Yes. And maybe we can tell Isaac and his friends about this…." Alleyne suggested.

"That is, if they can listen." Kraden muttered. "Our first adventure out of Angara!" Jenna and Nowa struck a pose and they both shouted "Charge! Unknwon to them, Melona and Menace were recovering from the tidal wave.

"Ugh… I got seawater down my throat." Melona hacked and coughed. "Tell me about it…" Menace moaned as she shake to get herself dry.

A new mission, the 8 otherworlders have changed sides and must light the remaining lighthouses to save Felix and Jenna's parents from the clan of the now dead Saturos and Menadri. Will this new partnership and friendship be enough to save them?

To be continued…
