I don't own Golden Sun.

Chapter Twenty Four

Robin rushed into the room. "Saturos! I have terrible news!" he said. Saturos turned to the boy. "The Mars star and the Jupiter star have been stolen!" he said. Saturos rose to a standing position. "What?" he shouted, "The stars? Stolen? What will we do? We need those to gain power! Robin, tell Felix I said to assemble his troops. We are going to find those stars and destroy whoever has taken them!" Robin replied, "Yes sir!" and rushed off. Saturos frowned and walked quickly out of the room.

Ivan looked ahead of him. It was land! He had been sailing for days on his boat and was happy to finally see land. He carefully guided his boat to the land. Within a few minutes, he had landed on the continent. He flew off of his boat and across the land. Soon, he found a cave, and landed. Drawing his sword, he slowly entered the cave. It was dark, and he saw nothing. "Reveal!" he said. Around him, the dark cave suddenly turned into a room. The men stood with their arms crossed. One had shoulder-length blond hair and the other had slightly longer dark purple hair. Ivan said, "Hello. I come in peace." Neither of the men moved, or even paid any attention to him. Ivan cleared his throat and again said, "Hello. I come in peace," except this time a little louder. Finally, the purple-haired man said, "You know what, Goten? I think he actually sees us. Maybe he's an adept." Ivan laughed. "Yes, I see you, and I am an adept. Do you know anything about the Jupiter clan?" The blonde haired man, Goten, said, "Yes, I know a lot about the Jupiter clan. What do you know about it?" Ivan didn't answer the question, but asked, "Where is it located?" Goten replied, "On the continent of Anteka." At this the purple- haired man laughed. Ivan angrily replied, "Where might the continent of Anteka be? What continent am I currently on?" Goten replied, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that this is Anteka." Ivan muttered, and said, "Where is the Jupiter clan then?" The purple-haired man said, "This is the Jupiter clan. Or I should say, this is the entrance to the great hall. Not to mention, I am the leader of the Jupiter clan. Now we have told you too much. You must die." He drew his sword, but Ivan said, "Wait, I came all the way from Gondowan to join you." Goten replied, "With whom did you come?" The boy replied, "No body, I came alone." The purple-haired man brushed a little hair out of his face. "You will have to pass a test, you know. My name is Krillin, master of the Jupiter clan." Krillin grinned and the wall behind him crumbled to reveal a tunnel. The door to the cave sealed, and lanterns began to glow on the sides of the tunnel. Krillin and Goten ran down the tunnel laughing loudly, and suddenly turned a corner. Ivan heard the voice of Krillin shouting, "Keep up if you can!" Ivan sighed and flew the direction he had seen them go. He rounded the corner just in time to see a flash of purple disappear down another way. He followed them for around half an hour, until he finally found himself in a well-lit huge room. Krillin and Goten stood about one hundred meters off with their backs turned. Ivan snickered to himself and flew between them. Krillin looked at him and said, "I see you were able to keep up, Ivan." Ivan asked, "How do you know my name?" Goten and Krillin laughed. "Surely you can mind read. I know everything about you." Ivan nodded. Over the last few years, he had somewhat forgotten about his ability to read minds. Now it all came back to him. Krillin's smile disappeared and he said, "Anyway, you were able to keep up, which is more than I can say for some who have tried to join us... Now, you will be tested." A long sword appeared in Goten's hands, and Ivan's eyes got big. "You..." he said, "You must be an elite! I know someone else who is an elite Jupiter adept. His name is Kraden!" At the mention of Kraden's name, Krillin gasped. "Kraden? You know Kraden? He was the master of the Jupiter clan before I was. My power is no match of his. He is among the most powerful adepts in the world!" Goten nodded, and told Ivan to follow.

Felix and his group of young adepts were searching the continent of Angara for the person who had stolen the stars. Suddenly, Fheizi said, "Felix, I have been consentrating on the future. I have seen it. The person who stole the stars was named Agatio. He and his sister, Karst have the stars and are on the continent of Anteka at this very moment, searching for the Jupiter lighthouse! Not only that, but Anteka is the location of the Jupiter clan, and Ivan is there himself. Agatio and Karst are mysterious, and extremely powerful. Ivan is in danger, and the entire Jupiter clan also!" Robin gasped. "Ivan..." he said. A young Mercury adept walked up and said, "Teleport!" Within a second, they stood on Anteka in front of the Jupiter lighthouse. Felix led his small group into the lighthouse. In front of them stood Ivan, Krillin, and Goten. When they entered, the three Jupiter adepts turned to them. "Welcome, friends. If you have come to help us destroy the evil Agatio, help is much needed. If you have come to stop us, we will have no choice but to stop you." Felix stepped forwards. "We have come to stop Agatio and Karst. We wish to retrieve the stars and light the lighthouses to give power to Lunpa and it's allies," he said. The three Jupiter adepts walked behind Felix and they entered the next room of the lighthouse. In this room, there were two statues with a deep hole behind them. Krillin said, "Just one second, I know how to get through here." He stepped forward and whispered something. The room was filled with bright light for a few seconds, and then it passed. The statues were in the hole, one on top of the other. This was only a couple of feet below the level of the land, and therefore they could now cross. The group slowly made it's way across the gap to the other side. In the next room, a group of brutal ice golems barred the path. Krillin laughed at the golems. "Pathetic," he said. "Zeus's Wrath!" he called out. A purple cloud formed in the air and lightning bolts shot out immediately frying the golems. Where the golems had once stood was a man with long green hair. "Speaking of pathetic, you are extremely week. You know that you can not beat me, even all of you put together will not be able to. There is only one man I fear. Only one man," he said. He disappeared while laughing. Even after he was gone, his laugh remained in the room. Felix sighed. "So that was Agatio I assume?" he asked. Fheizi nodded. Krillin drew his sword and exclaimed, "I wish Raditz were here!" A golden light filled the room and Raditz appeared. "You called?" he asked. Krillin laughed. "Hello there Raditz. Would you like to help us rid the world of a great evil?" Raditz grinned and replied, "I'll be willing to try. Where is it? Lemme at it!" Krillin said, "Unfortunately, it's not an it, it's Agatio and Karst." The grin fell from Raditz's face. "A-a-agatio?" he asked. Krillin nodded, and the group moved on to the next room.

After what seemed to Ivan like days, they had climbed to the seventeenth floor of the lighthouse. Even with all of his training and his energetic nature, he was wearing out. As they approached a staircase, the lighthouse shook violently. Again and again it shook. When it finally stopped, Krillin said, "It's been lit." The group climbed the staircase to find a room with a beam of light in the middle. Krillin jumped excitedly. "That's it!" he said, "That's where we go to get teleported to the top!" He rushed over and disappeared. Felix followed quickly, and then Raditz. Robin slowly followed and then the rest of the group. There, standing on the top of the lighthouse, was Agatio and a lady with short red hair. Agatio laughed. "I see you have finally made it. We waited until you were nearly to the top before lighting it just so you could feel that you had done well. Well, you didn't do well. Your only hope now is a certain man," he shook his head, "No, you have no hope. He couldn't possibly make it before you are all dead. Master of the Jupiter and Venus clans or not, say goodbye." With these words, Krillin and Raditz grasped at their stomachs and fell down. "No! Master Raditz! You can't die," said Robin. He rushed over to him. Raditz gasped for breath and said, "Robin... you have done... well... if you survive... and see Kakarot... again... tell him... that... that..." and then trailed off. "No, you can't die! I'll save you," said Robin exasperatedly. He cast potent cure again and again, but it was no use. Suddenly, Kakarot himself appeared next to them and said, "Hello, need any help?" Robin sighed in relief. "Kakarot, we need you to heal Krillin and Raditz." Kakarot sighed. "Agatio?" he asked. Robin nodded. "Karst too," he said. Kakarot quickly revived the two adepts and they turned to Agatio. He had been cackling the entire time, but now turned to fight. "Karst," he said, "Ready? Now!" Karst ran towards him and they both disappeared. I blinding swirl of gold, purple, red, and blue light filled the air for a few seconds and when it passed, Agatio and Karst were gone, and a dragon stood where they had been. It roared and disappeared into the air. "Huh?" asked Ivan. Several minutes later, the dragon landed on Fheizi. She screamed out and fell down dead. The dragon roared triumphantly and blew the body off the side of the lighthouse. Felix shouted, "You can't do that and get away with it!" The dragon paid no attention to his shouting but breathed a sheet of fire over the remaining people. Ivan screamed in pain as the fire hit his skin. He suddenly flew into the air and landed on the dragon's back. Felix cast arrow rain and Robin cloaked them all. The dragon laughed, and growled, "Fools, you think you can hide from me? Ha! Heart Strike!" An arrow flew out of the dragon's mouth and peirced the heart of the same Mercury adept who had teleported them to the Jupiter lighthouse, Leon. Felix attempted to revive him but the dragon said, "You can't revive him. He's dead forever. That is the most beautiful thing about my attacks." With that he burnt the corpse apart. Ivan, still on his back, drew his sword and stabbed it into the dragon's neck. Again and again he stabbed him, but it did no good. The dragon continued to destroy his friends. Soon, only Felix, Robin, Kakarot, Raditz, Krillin, Goten, and himself remained. Though they had been attacking the dragon with many attacks, nothing was working. 'Only one man...' thought Ivan, 'I wonder who that is?'

~^~*~^~

I know who it is. Haha. Keep reviewing!
