Notes from K3:

1) Hehe, and you thought from the Prolouge that this was going to be a GOOD story, didn't you? Sorry to disapoint. I'm not very good at writing fanfics... I can write if it's my OWN characters, but even then people don't like it...Hm...Maybe I should take a hint...Nah! I'll keep torturing people with my bad writing! Mwahaha! :]

2) If I knew more about the personalities of the characters, then I'd write it more in character, but since this is a veedio game and shows very little about the personalities, I'm kinda making them up as I go. I'm writing how I think they are, and if you want to tell me "Oh, so-and-so wouldn't do that! They'd do this..." I'd welcome it!

3) This is the "Exposition" part of the story. It's kinda boring, but I need to give everyone a little intro into how their world is now. It gets exciting later, I promise! And the suspense starts in this part!

4) Don't ask about the way that Flammie speaks. It's a long stupid story to explain, and I'm sorry it sounds stupid, but heehee, Senfadet is a funny word to say! :]

5) Enough ranting, on with the story! :]



History Repeats: Part 2

Ella stood up and walked over to the window. She knew that there was no chance of falling asleep again anytime soon, so she decided to do some thinking...

~After the battle against the Mana Beast and the destruction of the Fortress, she and Kare had decided to go on an extended vacation to Sea Hare Island. They had stayed there for a while, enjoying themselves to no end. After a few months, they decided to go to Pandora to share some news with Phanna and Ella's father. Their next stop was Potos, to share their plans with the village elder who had raised Kare.

While they are there, Kare insisted on bragging to Elliot and Timothy that he was going to get married to Ella. He had never truely forgiven the two of them for abandoning him when he had first recived the Mana Sword...

After they had told all of the people they considered friends that they could find, they went to one last place.

The Pure Lands.

~~~The two of them stood there for a long time in the shadow of the Mana Tree before Kare spoke.

"Mother...I fullfilled my promise to you...I destroyed the Fortress. But not alone. I could never have done it without the help of my dearest friends. Senfa...had to leave. If I wasn't in the world I belonged in, I would want to go home too...And Ella...haha...I hope you're proud of me, mother. Me and Ella are going to get married. I..I hope you're happy with what I've done with my life...Goodbye for now...mother..."

Kare pulled out the Flammie Drum and Ella gave his hand that she'd been holding a little squeeze. Kare smiled at her as Flammie arrived to take them back home...~~~

The two of them had thought for a long time about where they would live after their honeymoon in Gold City. They almost decided to live in the small Kippo Village, to be close to their families but they decided against it. They didn't want to travel around all the time to see the mysterious 'Veedios' left from the past...

Now there was no place they would rather live than in Mandala. Kare was an excellent cook and easily got a job at the town's Inn. Ella would spend hours keeping careful watch of the veedios, since it was her offical job to maintain them. She would stay long after everyone had left and together with Kare, the two of them would watch the Veedios over and over again, especially the ones that were hidden away from the public.

/Just what kind of civilization did the ancient ones have before the Mana Beast destroyed it?\ It was a constant tought in both of their minds.~

Ella sighed and smiled at all the happy memories, as she looked out onto the clear night. The nightmare had fadded from her mind and she quietly slipped back into bed. Sooner then she would have expected, she driffed off into the realm of dreams...

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

When Ella awoke in the moring, Kare was gone.

Normally that wouldn't bother her. Maybe it was later then she thought and he was already at the Inn. Or maybe he had gone for a walk. Or maybe he was doing one of the hundreds of things Ella could imagine him doing. Normally, his absence wouldn't worry her.

But this wasn't normal in the least. Everything was eerily silent. No birds were singing, the noise from the town wasn't present, and Ella had a very bad feeling. Something was very wrong.

She got dressed as quickly as she could. She was about to go rushing off to see if Kare was in life-threatening danger somewhere when she saw the thing that frightened her the most.

Kare had left the Flammie Drum on the bedroom dresser. He always took it with him, he never went anywhere without it. But he had left it here...Ella didn't like what this was implying. She grabbed the Doom Axe from it's hidden spot in the closet. There was a good chance that she'd need it.

As soon as she had everything, she ran outside and shook the Flammie Drum with all her might. Even though it produced a lound noise, it always amazed her that Flammie could hear it.

/How long has Kare been gone?\ Ella wondered while she waited. A moment later, Flammie came barreling down frm the sky. Ella was always afriad that she would miss when she jumped onto the white dragon, but time seemed to slow down when Flammie was swooping to the earth.

Only when she was on Flammie did Ella realize that she had no idea where Kare was or how to find him. Not only that, but she had no idea whatsoever how to communicate with Flammie.

Almost on cue, a loud voice sounded in Ella's mind. It was young, energetic, male, and many times louder then anything she had ever heard. The noise seemed to overload her brain, causing it to shut down mommentarily. Slummping forward, Ella fainted.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

When she came to, Flammie was flying slowly. Appearantly he had been trying to make a breeze to revive her with and appearantly it had worked.

The voice sounded inside her head again, but softer this time. It sounded like a loud whisper.

"Sorry, Ella-mama..." The voice said apologetically.

"Flammie? Is that you?!" She asked in complete astonishment.

"Yes. I guess only Kare-papa can take it when I talk normal. I'll whisper for you and Senfa-det, if it ever comes back."

"Mama? Papa? Det?!"

"Yeah! You're my mama, Ellama. Karepa is my papa and Senfadet is my detino! Ooh, and 'detino' means that Senfadet is my sibling if you wanna know. I hope I get to see it again soon..."

Ella shook her head in wonder. She had always thought that maybe white dragons like Flammie where from the sam 'other world' that her dear friend the sprite was from. Siblings, though? That was amazing even to her.

"Flammie? When was the last time you say Kare?" Ella asked, hoping to now find his whereabouts.

"The sun's raised a few times since then, Ellama. Why? Is Karepa missing?!" Flammie's whipsered boice was full of alarm.

"I don't know where he could be right now..I have a bad feeling, though. I need to find him fast!"

Flammie stopped flying and hovered in place, trying to remember something. After a momment he spoke again. "Ellama, something...strange was going on earlier. I flew right past it. Do you want me to take you there? Maybe Karepa is there!" Flammie guessed her answer even before Ella said a word.

As Flammie flew to where he knew 'something' was happening, Ella recognoized where they were flying over and where that must mean they were going to.

The Upper Lands.

"Whatever it is that's going on, Ellama, it's coming from Senfadet's old village!"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Whee! This is gonna be fun! I get to see them all again! But...gosh. Something must be messing with Mana again if I'm able to come back...*sigh* Do I have to save the world AGAIN?" The small sprite complained.

Senfa was halfway finsihed with transfering between it's world, and the 'other world' it had spent a lot of time in a year ago.

"Hehe! It feels like I got my butt kicked in a battle and I need a Cup of Wishes! Everything looks strange like that. This world is crazy!" Senfa gave it's classic big-mouthed laugh.

Then Senfa realized that it was staying in a transparent state, no longer transfering between the two worlds. Senfa grumbled impatiently while it took out a small metallic device.

"They should make these things last longer...Grrr...Good thing I can fix it, being a genius has it's good points!" Senfa laughed manaically and held up the device. It hit the device repeatedly until the metal object whined in protest. Senfa started to truely appear in the world it was aiming for, so it didn't really care about the machine.

After a few more moments, the sprite was completly gone from it's world once again. Senfa looked around, happily enjoying the sights of the Upper Lands. A year ago, the Mana Fortress had marred the sky; now as Senfa looked up there was nothing but blue sky and sunlight.

Then something moved across the blue backdrop. Senfa felt a cold stab of fear, remembering how the Fortress had looked similar.

/If Mana is out of wack, then the Fortress could rise again...\ Senfa thought in a panic. The object in the sky was quickly approaching and now Senfa recognized just what it was up in the sky.

"Flammie!!!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"Bye!" Flammie called as he came down to the ground, letting Ella jump off. Ella looked around, awed at the beauty she had forgotten existed in this land. She stood, stunned at the splendor, letting her problems slip away for a moment.

A voice brought her back to reality.

"Ella? Ella!! Hehe, remember me??"

Ella was about to turn around, the voice seemed so familiar, when something jumped on her back. The force of the collision caused Ella and the being on her to topple to the ground.

"Ella I'm back! What are you doing here? How are things going? How have things been? Where's Kare? Huh? Huh? Did I hurt you? Say something!!!"

Immaginary Rabites were swirling around Ella's head. "Ooh, look at all the pretty little Rabites!" Ella mummbled in a daze.

The expression on Senfa's face was stuck on: "What the heck is she talking about?" Senfa scratched it's head quizically for a moment. "Ella! Snap out of it!" Senfa yelled, bringing it's hand back.
A slap in the face was all it took to bring Ella back to the present.

"Ow!!" Ella exclaimed, rubbing her stinging cheek. Then she looked ahead and realized who was standing in front of her with it's head back in laughter. "Senfa!!!" The two friends hugged eachother for a long moment before Senfa realized something was wrong. Ella was crying. When Senfa tried to pull away, Ella grabbd it's robe and held on tight.

"Hehe, I finally come back and you go crying on me. I guess you missed me as much as I missed you and Kare!" At the mention of Kare's name, Ella cried harder. "That's it, huh? Ella, what happened to Kare?"

Ella finally calmed herself down a bit, going from sobs to sniffles.

"I don't know." She answered. "This morning he was just...gone. Without a trace. I'm really scared that something's happened to him. Something has to be terribly wrong, I can feel it."

Senfa frowned. "Yeah, I think something is messing with the power of Mana. If everything was normal, I wouldn't have been able to come back here, you know?"

"Mana? Who or what could be tampering with Mana?"

"I hate to say it Ella but...Your boyfriend is mysteriously missing, I'm here, somthing is wrong with Mana...It's almost like-"

"NO! Senfa...No! It can't be happening again! We KILLED off Thanatos! He can't still be alive!!" Ella screamed in protest.

"Okay! Okay! So maybe things aren't repeating exactly, but there are a lot of crazy people out there who want to rule or destroy the world. THAT is what might be repeating."

"I wish we could have Kare here to help us with whatever this is."

"Yeah, well, we can't."

Ella grabbed the sprite's shoulders and shook them violently. "You're supossed to have supernatural powers! You find out where he is!"

"GAH! Ella! Stop it!" Senfa cried out. Ella let go of it with a sigh.

"Ow! My head! AGAIN. And just because I'm from a different world doesn't mean you can shake magic powers out of me!" Senfa said angerly.

"Well then what should be do?!" Ella snapped.

/That's it!\ Senfa thought, grabbing it's Ninja's Trump and aiming it at Ella.

"If you don't calm down and act rational, I will NOT be afraid to use this! Think for a minute. Everything is a lot like it was before. Who knew the most about where Dyluck was when he was missing?"

Ella did think for a minute. /Well, lots of people knew about his disappearance! Everyone knew when he was in Pandora. How DID we find him after that? Who told us...Hm...\ Instantly the answer formed in her mind.

"Krissie!"

"Bingo!"

"Flammie!"
