I don't own Golden Sun.
Chapter Eighteen
"Garet?" asked Isaac in amazement. Ivan nodded. "Garet killed you? Why would he do anything like that?" Ivan sighed, and replied, "I think it was because I defended Sheba." Isaac nodded. "I'm going to have to talk to Garet about this," he said, in an angry voice.
"Garet, why did you hurt my brother?" Isaac questioned Garet. The boy shrugged, and said, "I just got too mad at him, but not five minutes after I killed him, I was sorry. I was afraid if I told you, you would be angry." Isaac shook his head. Sarcastically, he said, "The great healer only charged me one hundred coins to revive him. No big deal." Garet began to cry and apologized. "I'm sorry! He kept defending Sheba and yelling at me! I got really mad at him and waited until he was away from the rest of you, and then I killed him. I figured you would be able to revive him, so it wouldn't really matter." Isaac replied, "I forgive you," and then punched Garet in the face.
Thirteen-year-old Garet sat watching his friends train. They had decided to stay in Lalivero for the time being, until Felix found them. Ivan and Sheba were fighting each other; during the past year they had both improved a great deal. Ivan had forgiven Garet for what he had done, and they had become good friends. Ivan was literally running circles around Sheba, shooting a mixture of water and electricity, a devestating combination. Sheba had very little trouble blocking anything sent by Ivan, occasionally having to move, but usually only moving her staff. Finally, Ivan gave up on this strategy and ran at Sheba, waving his staff. She was not expecting that, and Ivan was able to knock her to the ground.
"You have become quite powerful, Ivan," said Alex, "Maybe-" he was cut off as a rumbling sound was heard. "Oh no..." said Picard, "It sounds like a lighthouse has been lit." He nodded to his friends and they all grabbed their weapons. "Teleport!" he shouted, and they found themselves on top of the Venus lighthouse. Felix, Jenna, and a blue-haired girl stood on top of the lighthouse, next to a huge, yellow ball of energy. "Oh no!" shouted Alex. The three on top of the lighthouse turned to see who it was. Felix smiled. "Hello, it's been a while, hasn't it?" he said calmly. Tears formed in Sheba's eyes. "You're going to pay for all of your evil," she cried. Felix frowned. "Sheba? I see you failed to perform your duty. Failures are not accepted. MOTHER GAIA!" With these words, bits of rocks flew out of the lighthouse floor, and a bright light shown out briefly. Sheba screamed, and flew off of the lighthouse. Picard tried to teleport her, but she was out of his reach. "Sheba!" yelled Ivan. He glared at the trio and ran at them, staff out. Before he even made it to them, he was worn out just from running. Isaac, Garet, Alex, and Picard joined the fight. Three djinni appeared, an earth djinn, a fire djinn, and a water djinn. Felix grinned, and turned to the djinni. "Callisto, Deimos, and Tide. These fools have bothered us long enough. Send them to their graves." Garet yelled, "Not so fast, we have djinni of our own." Phobos, Charon, Breeze, Fizz, Hail, Europa, and Gust appeared and looked for weak points on their opponents. Meanwhile, the others continued to fight. After a while, Felix said, "Something I forgot to tell you. That is, that my sister is a member of the Mars Clan of the North. Not just any member, but an elite champion. Jenna nodded and grinned evilly. "That is the truth," she said. Felix continued, "Because of this, you will never be able to kill us. Jenna, demonstrate." Jenna nodded. A ball of flame surrounded her, and flew outwards. Before they knew what had happened, the five adepts had gone flying in several dirrections.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Ivan found himself lying on an island. He had no weapons, but after looking around a bit, he managed to find his staff. His sword was nowhere to be seen though. He felt horrible, and didn't know how he had survived. When he looked around, however, he saw Sheba standing a ways off. "Sheba!" he called. Sheba turned around and smiled. "I was wondering if you would ever wake up. You've been unconcious for almost two days," she said. Ivan gasped. "Two days?" he asked. Sheba nodded.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Garet found himself in an unfamiliar city. All around him were strange looking people with long black hair. One little boy squeaked excitedly and said, "I think he woke up!" Garet moaned, and reached for his head. The boy giggled, and said, "How did you do that?" Garet asked, "Do what?" The boy laughed, and replied, "Don't you know? You fell in from the sky! When I found you, you were badly bruised and beaten up. How could you have survived that?" Garet shrugged, and asked, "Where am I?" An older man, who had watched with a frown on his face the entire time said, "Xian." Garet asked, "Where is Xian, I don't think I've ever been here before. I need to get back to my friends. Can you lead me to the Venus lighthouse?" At this, the crowd gasped. The little boy asked, "You flew here from Venus lighthouse? You must be very tired! What a long journey!"
_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Isaac looked around. 'I must be dreaming!' he thought, 'It's Tolbi! I thought I was on Venus lighthouse!' An extremely old looking man stood above him. Isaac said excitedly, "It's the great healer! How did I get here?" The old man shrugged, and told him that he had seen him fall in from above, and got badly crushed when he had landed. He had walked over to him, and saw that he was dead. He revived him, and told him that he wouldn't charge any money, as he had fallen in from above, and must therefore have extremely strange powers. Isaac nodded, and replied, "I do have strange powers, but I can't fly. I was on Venus lighthouse, and suddenly I got blasted here by a huge fireball." The great healer gasped, and said, "Only a heating charge could have sent you so far, and that is available only to elite champions. I know, as I am an elite champion of the Fire Clan. Do you know what caused the fireball?" Isaac nodded. "A girl, named Jenna," he replied. The great healer looked shocked. "Jenna? Why would she have done that, unless you did something extremely bad." Isaac shrugged, and replied, "Jenna, her brother Felix, and someone else are trying to take over the entire world. They will stop at nothing to destroy everyone."
_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Picard looked around. He recognized his surroundings, but couldn't quite place it. "Alex?" he asked, "Ivan? Isaac? Anybody there?" He sat up, but he was alone in a forest. "I've been here," he said, "It's Kolima forest! How did I get here?" Picard tried to stand up, but his legs ached to badly that he fell down immediately. He sat for a while, considering what to do next, when he suddenly felt a whack on the back of his head, knocking him unconcious.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Alex held tight to the peice of wood which had floated by him. He was in the water, the best place in which he could have landed. Alex liked water, but didn't like being miles from the nearest shore, with no way of getting there, as he could only swim a few of miles without wearing out, and that would take a while. For now, he would have to hold on to the wood and hope for the best.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Ivan threw the spear which he had made of wood on the island at the fish. Another miss. He had been trying for about half an hour, and had only gotten two fish. After throwing several more times, he gave up and ran into the shallow water, grabbing fish much more easily. A few minutes later, he had caught four more fish, so he returned to his campfire. After sticking his spear through the fish, Ivan began to roast them. After about an hour, the fish were done to his likings, so he removed them from the fire. The fish were rather small, so three fish apeice wasn't a very big meal, but it was better than nothing. "Sheba," he called, "The fish is done." The younger Jupiter adept appeared and reached for the fish. Ivan handed her some, and then stuck an entire fish into his mouth. They had been on the island several weeks now, and Ivan had constructed them each small wooden houses. After eating, Ivan went to his house to go to bed.
When Ivan awoke, he was not in his bed as he had expected himself to be. He was lying on a hard stone floor, and when he looked around, he saw that he was behind bars. The boy immediately stood up and tried to get out. Outside, there was a huge monster and many soldiers. Suddenly, everything began to fade and he found himself pounding on the wall of his house on the island. Ivan shuddered. He wasn't sure if he had just been dreaming, or if he had seen the future, or what. He decided to ignore it.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Garet had been training with the boy in Xian for quite some time, and he was quite good. His name was Justin, and he was an earth adept, although, being only ten years old, he wasn't as powerful as any of Garet's other friends. He was extremely energetic, and reminded Garet a lot of Ivan, although he was an earth adept rather than a wind adept. Justin said that he had come from Vault a few years back, when his father died and his uncle had adopted him. His uncle's name was Feh, and he taught martial arts. He had taught Justin many things. His cousin, Hsu, was several years older, but he wasn't an adept. He was extremely jealous of Justin, and tried to play tricks on him whenever he got the chance. Justin also had a sister, who was a Mars adept, but he didn't know if she was even still alive. His sister, whose named was Megan, had been kidnapped, and quite possible killed, or being held captive somewhere.
_*_*_*_*_*_*_
Isaac thought he felt something in his money bag. Turning around, he saw a girl disappearing through the crowd. Isaac muttered. As quickly and as quietly as possible, he pursued the girl. She entered the inn, and Isaac followed, right upstairs until she entered a bedroom. Isaac hid outside and waited, but he heard conversation inside. Dimly, he heard a girl say, "That was one rich kid, I picked up almost two hundred coins off of him." A man's voice replied, "Wonderful, did you notice what he looked like?" There was a pause, and then the girl said, "I didn't really look, but I think he had spiky blonde hair." Another woman answered, "Isaac..." and the original man said, "Menardi, do you really think it's possible that he could still be alive? Jenna said that she had eliminated them all." The ladies voice snarled, "If it is Isaac, and if he and his friends are still alive, I will personally see to it that they are destroyed."
