Nelmaki Note: This story takes place during the period in the game where you have to kill all eight God-Beasts. It's from a gaming perspective, so it's not entirely what you think it is. Now on with the show...

Chapter 1: Objective is to Annihilate Xan Bie... If We Can Find Him
Duran: L20 Angela: L20 Hawk:L20
Location: Desert of Scorching Heat
"Hey, Duran, do you know where we're going?" Angela complained while following a very sweaty Duran. "God, how many times do I have to say that I know what I'm doing?!?" Duran yelled back. Hawk sweatdropped, but decided to cut in. "Arguing isn't going to get us anywhere. Just hurry up alright Duran?" "Huh, we're almost there... I can feel it," Duran replied.
30 minutes later....... "Ha, see, I got us back here!!!" Duran shouted. Hawk and Angela looked at each other, both knowing that there was an alternative way from the beginning. They just had to let Duran have the Wind Drum. "Stupid, we could've just flown here with Flammie," Angela mumbled. Duran's joyous laughter ceased to a halt as he realized the mistake he made all along. "Hey, it's not my fault!" he stumbled. "It... it was that damn player out there controlling us!!!" Hawk peeked out the TV monitor through the corner of his eye. "It took the player that long to navigate us here???" he asked. Duran nodded. "Yeah, so don't blame me okay?" "Whatever," Angela mumbled again. The three entered the Valley of Flames and were prepared to face the God-Beast of Fire, Xan Bie.
Location: Valley of Flames, right outside the entrance to Xan Bie
"Okay, I just finished restocking our supplies," Hawk called out. "Great, now all we have to do is kill the God-Beast," Duran replied. Angela didn't say a word, but she was trying to get a glance at what they were about to face. "That isn't going to work," Hawk pointed out. Startled, Angela spun around and came face-to-face with Hawk. "Well, it doesn't hurt to try does it???" she growled. Hawk shrugged and stepped away from her. "Sheesh! Women, they really like to beat up on men don't they..." "Aw shut up!!!" Angela yelled. "Will you two stop? It's time," Duran pointed to the opening.
The moment they walked through to the other side, the opening sealed itself shut, and flames suddenly engulfed them. "Wh-wha?!?" Hawk panicked. "Eeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!" Angela shrieked. A giant dragon head with horns was eyeing them, flames surrounding him as a mean of protection. It roared. The three fighters nearly wet their pants. "Like, it's going to kill us all!!!!!" Angela shouted. "Stop complaining and be on guard or something! Better yet, cast a water spell!" Duran yelled back. "Um... okay," was the reluctant reply. While she was busy concentrating on Ice Smash, Duran and Hawk were busy trying to catch the floating head. "This stupid thing isn't letting us hit him!!!" Hawk thought. However, the scene flashed blue as chunks of ice appeared from nowhere and cascaded upon Xan Bie.
20 minutes later.... "We... we beat him!!!" Angela declared. "Yeah, but our supplies are short now, and we still have 7 God-Beasts left to kill. Now I'm starting to wonder if saving Mana is worth all the effort," Hawk said. "Like we have much of a choice. This is a game, after all, and we can't go around doing whatever we want. Anyway, it's time to get ourselves out of this place and restock on supplies... yet again," Duran replied. "So where next?" Angela asked. "Well, we just finished killing off the fire God-Beast, so might as well cool off over at the Labyrinth of Ice Walls," Duran answered. He pulled out the Wind Drum and called Flammie, then they flew off to Altena.
