I don't own Golden Sun!
Chapter Fifteen
Ivan got to choose his prize. He could have a sword, which had the handle covered in jewels, he could have several thousand gold coins, or he could have a magical water staff. This sword was extremely expensive, sturdy, and powerful. The staff was very rare, only about seven of them existed in the entire continent of Gondowan. It had some psynergy of it's own, and was extremely light-weight and sturdy. Ivan naturally chose the staff, as he could get the coins within a year easily, and the sword was too heavy for him to use. After claiming his prize, Ivan joined the rest of his friends who were eating at a table in the market. While they ate, the girl whom Garet had defeated in his first match walked up to them, and mind read them. She told them that she knew everything that had ever happened to them, and explained that she was a Jupiter adept, like Ivan. She told them that her name was Sheba, and offered to help them defeat Felix and Jenna. They told her that she could come along, as long as she could keep up and not get in the way. Sheba immediately agreed, and they set off to find Felix and Jenna two days later.
After walking a while, the six companions made it to a small city, which they entered. A few people walked around the city, but nobody said anything. Picard, who was currently leading the group, walked up to a man and asked him what the name of the city was. "Suhulla," he said, quietly. Picard smiled and thanked the man. Alex said to Picard, "Let's stop here for a while, and train before we pursue Felix and Jenna more." Everyone agreed except for Ivan, who badly wanted to avenge his parents' deaths. However, after some persuasion, Ivan also agreed.
Ivan and Isaac were having a training fight, and Ivan tried out his new staff. He charged at Isaac, twirling it with ease, as it weighed about half as much as his old wooden staff, even though it was made of some sort of metal which he had never seen before. Isaac blocked with his sword, and Ivan tried to hit him with the other side of his staff. Isaac pushed it away with psynergy, and slashed his sword at Ivan from the side. Ivan sent a blast of water from his staff at the sword, which sent it flying out of Isaac's hand. Ivan pointed the end of his staff at Isaac's stomach and grinned.
Garet sat on the ground watching Isaac and Ivan fight over and over again, Ivan usually winning, until he was bored of waiting. He wanted to fight someone. "Alex," he said, "Would you like to have a little duel with me?" Alex called over to Isaac and Ivan that he and Garet were going to fight, and they walked away from their battlefield. Garet and Alex walked up, and Garet immediately sent an extremely compressed heat wave at Alex, who tried his best to cool it down with a frigid blast. When the small remaining fire hit Alex in the leg, he could hardly feel it. He responded with another frigid blast, which hit Garet's arm and made it go numb. Garet charged at the unarmed Alex with his sword in his remaining arm, and brought it down... on nothing. He turned around and saw Alex holding his sword behind him. Garet swung his sword at him, but it was blocked. He thrust it forward, and it was knocked to the side. Garet slashed at Alex's legs. Blocked again. Again and again, Garet tried to hit Alex, and it was blocked. After a while, he was finally worn out.
After that battle, Picard fought Sheba. Thought she had used a staff during Collosso, Sheba now pulled out a sword. Picard drew a sword and the battle began. Sheba immediately jumped towards the man and thrust her sword forwards. Picard knocked the sword to the side, and Sheba attacked again, thrusting her sword dangerously close to Picard's heart, but he blocked it again. Garet was sitting next to Isaac, watching, and whispered, "I don't trust her. Seems like she is trying to kill him." Isaac nodded in agreement and turned back to watch the battle. After a while, he said, "It looks like Picard is wearing out, but Sheba seems so full of energy." Again he looked back to the battle. Picard was certainly tiring, but Sheba was atleast showing no signs of it." Picard cast frigid blast, which Sheba shot bolts of electricity into, and Picard lay on the ground, not moving. Isaac rushed over to revive Picard, and Garet drew his sword to attack Sheba. Ivan grabbed Garet to try to hold him back, and Alex came over to help. Sheba claimed that it was an accident, and appologized.
The next battle was between Ivan and Alex. Picard was lying under a tree, recovering, while Isaac healed him and got him food and drink. Sheba sat watching the fight, but Garet kept a close eye on her, to make sure she didn't try anything. As soon as the battle began, Ivan started shooting blasts of water at Alex. Normally, Alex didn't mind water, but the water that was hitting him was hot. Alex charged through the incoming water and grabbed Ivan's staff out of his hand. Ivan quickly drew his sword and cast tornado, to try to make Alex drop his staff. Alex held on tight, even when he was spinning quickly in circles held tight by the tornado. He was getting dizzy, but he wasn't planning to be beaten again. Ivan held him for several minutes, but he was beginning to wear out, keeping the tornado there so long. Finally, he let go, and Alex dropped to the ground. Breathing heavily, Ivan ran towards the Mercury adept to try to get his staff back. He sent small bolts of electricity at Alex's hands, causing him to drop the staff. Ivan quickly retrieved it, and began sending another barrage of hot water at him. Alex cried out in pain, and made a wall of water around him. The hot water was able to get through, but was not nearly as hot, and rather than harming Alex, it restored some of his power. Ivan stopped shooting water at him, once he realized what it was doing to him, but it was too late. Ivan was worn out, and Alex had most of his power restored. Alex cast flood, and Ivan was soon covered in water. He was struggling to keep his head above the water, and eventually went under. Alex removed the flood, revealing Ivan lying, panting on the ground.
Alex and Sheba were the only ones who had won all of their battles, so they were now going to fight each other. This time, Sheba used her staff again, and Alex used his sword. Immediately after the battle began, Sheba slammed her staff into Alex's face with all her might. When she pulled it away, Alex was standing with a bleeding nose and a black eye, looking rather uncomfortable. He stabbed forward and hit Sheba in the arm with his sword, and she screamed before dropping her arm to her side. Sheba now put away her staff and drew her sword, using amazing accuracy to scratch Alex's arm quickly. He stabbed her other arm, and she dropped her sword to the ground. Alex declared himself the winner, and healed up Sheba's arms.
The six adepts trained throughout the day, and finally went to bed extremely sore, with plans to head on the next day.
