I don't own Golden Sun.
Chapter Fourteen
Isaac got up slowly, and looked around. 'Where am I?' he thought. Looking around some more, he saw mostly burnt, slightly smoldering buildings, and he began to remember. He remember fighting Felix and Jenna, and then they teleported off the lighthouse. What happened then? Isaac couldn't remember, but he knew that he was cold. He began looking around for something warm to shelter him, when he saw the dead bodies of his friends. Isaac gasped, and rushed over to his brother. "Ivan," he whispered, "Ivan! Get up Ivan." Ivan didn't move. Isaac cast revive, and then checked to see if he was breathing. He couldn't be quite sure, but he thought he could here some slight sound of breathing coming from him. Isaac rushed over to the others to try to help them. Garet was revived quite easily, as the boulder which hit him only crushed his leg and part of his middle. Alex and Picard were hit moderately hard, and took several tries to revive. Isaac returned to Ivan. The Jupiter adept was still faintly breathing, but he hadn't moved any since Isaac revived him. Picard picked up the boy, and Alex teleported them to the city of Tolbi.
It was time for Collosso tryouts, and everyone decided to tryout. Nobody had any trouble getting in, because of the last time they had tried out.
The day for the first round of Collosso finally came. Isaac and Ivan were the first to fight, and they were fighting each other. Before the match began, the brothers agreed to not use any weapons against each other, and have a strictly psynergy battle. Isaac tried one of his favorite tricks, and made a barrier around Ivan, followed by a ragnarok. The glowing sword flew into the barrier, but no sound was heard from Ivan. Isaac suddenly had a horrible fealing that perhaps he had killed him. He climbed up the steep, stone wall of the barrier, and looked over the top. Inside, he saw Ivan sitting on the ground smiling up at him. As he peeked over, Ivan stood up and grinned really big. He pulled out his staff and it became fully surrounded in electricity. The electricity solidified into a sphere of purple and shot into the air, coming down on Isaac. Isaac screamed out in pain, and went unconcious immediately.
Garet found that he was fighting a short opponent, who was wearing a large helmet, which covered most of his face, making Garet unable to get a good idea of what he looked like. He was holding a short staff, and somehow reminded him of Ivan. As soon as the match began, Garet's opponent charged at him waving his staff extremely accurately, whacking Garet in the face again and again. 'Wow, this guy is awfully week,' thought Garet, 'he can't even hurt me with his staff!' Garet slashed with his sword, and hit the staff, thinking that he would break it. To his amazement, the staff stayed together, and his opponent was able to hold it still. Lightning came out of the staff and slammed into Garet, sending him flying several feet into the air. Garet landed on the ground and stood back up. He charged at his opponent, but before he got in range, he disappeared. Looking around, Garet found him standing nearby, holding a sword now. Garet ran towards him and brought his sword down on his head, breaking the helmet in half. The two parts fell off to reveal... a girl who slightly resembled Ivan. She smiled and slashed her sword at Garet, who blocked without any trouble. The girl pulled her staff back out and fried Garet again, but he stood up and sent a heat wave at her, burning off some of her hair. Garet was getting annoyed that he was being beaten by a girl, so he randomly began throwing fireballs around, and eventually hit her, knocking her unconcious and winning the round.
Alex was fighting a tall, strong man, but he was able to tell that his opponent was not an adept, which was going to make winning a lot easier. Alex used psynergy to disarm him and hold him still, and then rushed towards him, to punch him in the stomach, and then in the face.
Picard's opponent was much like that of Alex, clearly a strong man, but not an adept. He decided to have some fun, and not use psynergy unless it was needed. Approaching the man with one sword held in each hand, Picard looked for a good time to strike. The time came suddenly, when the other man attempted to slash him with his own sword. Picard took this oppurtunity, blocking with one sword, and attacking with the other. He cut a whole in the man's leg, who immediately fell to the ground to nurse his leg, and surrendered, making Picard the winner.
Several days later, it was time for the second round. The only remaining contestants were Ivan, Garet, Alex, and Picard. Ivan was going to fight Garet, and they were both confident that they would win. Ivan was relying on his speed, and Garet was relying on his strength. As soon as the battle began, Ivan began charging up his staff, and sent energy balls slamming into Garet, who made a barrier of fire, knocking them away. Garet threw a fireball into the sky, and Ivan reached his staff towards it, catching it and throwing it back with a little bit of electricity. Garet's protection was beginning to die down, and he was wearing out. Ivan continued to throw electricity for several minutes, which Garet blocked, wearing them both out. Eventually, Ivan was unable to throw any more, so Garet removed his shield. Garet looked around for Ivan, but he was suddenly no where to be seen. Suddenly, he felt a whack on his back, and he fell over on his face. Ivan had won.
Alex was going to fight his older brother. This was going to be a tough fight for both of them, but Alex was pretty sure Picard would win. He was also pretty sure that whoever won this battle would surely win the tournament. The Mercury adepts approached each other with one sword each, and they suddenly slashed towards each other at the same time, causing an irritating scratching noise as the two swords clashed. They both pulled back and tried again. Again, both swords collided, and neither of them hit their opponents. Again and again they tried to get past each other's swords, Picard attacking and Alex defending. Finally, Alex held up one hand and shot a small blast of water into Picard's eye, making him turn away. With this opportunity, Alex slashed towards Picard's leg, but again it was blocked. After several minutes of this, Alex had finally beaten his older brother, a major victory.
After what seemed like forever, the time finally came. The last match of the entire tournament. Ivan was fighting against Alex. Having traveled for some time together now, they each knew much more about the other's fighting styles. At the beginning of the battle, Ivan attempted to avoid Alex's sword as much as possible, hopping away and shooting energy balls at him. With his teleporting ability, Alex was an extremely difficult target, and Ivan finally decided to stop wasting his energy. He finally said, "Alex, why don't you waste all your energy now, attempting to hit a target impossible for you to hit." and grinned. Alex grinned back and cracks formed in the ground, with water seeping out. Ivan slipped on the water and fell to the ground. Alex approached him with his sword in front of him, about to hit him, when Ivan was finally able to get out of the way. He cast tornado to blow the water around, and caught up Alex as well, who fought and stuggled to finally be able to get out. Ivan screamed and a large tornado engulfed him, without harming him however. He ran at Alex, and threw him about fifteen feet in the air, catching him on the way back down, and dropping him hard the next five feet. Ivan walked over to Alex with his staff, to hit him, but Alex grabbed the staff, wrenched it out of Ivan's hands, and threw it at him, knocking him to the ground. Ivan quickly retrieved his staff and delivered the final blow, winning Collosso.
