I don't own Golden Sun.
Chapter Twenty Five
"Agatio! Stop right now!" shouted a familiar voice from behind Robin. He turned to see who it was. "Saturos!" he shouted. 'I wonder if Saturos is the man that Agatio is scared of,' thought Ivan. His hopes were dashed though when the dragon laughed and said, "Saturos, is it? You are a wimp. There is only one man that I fear. He will not come." Saturos shook his head, and Menardi appeared next to him. "Prepare to die, Agatio," she said. She rushed at him with her scythe out and swung it at him. Although she easily hit him in the leg, he took no damage and the scythe exploded. "No..." she said. The dragon laughed as he pushed her over the side of the lighthouse. "You're next, Saturos," he said. The man replied, "No, you know you can't defeat me." The dragon laughed again and replied, "Last time I saw you, you were stronger. That is over now. Prepare to die, brother." Robin gasped, "Agatio is your brother?" he asked. Saturos nodded, and drew his sword. "Karst," he said, "Leave him. We will fight each other alone." The dragon began to glow, and soon Agatio and Karst stood in it's place. "Have it your way, then," said Agatio with a cruel grin. He drew his sword and sprang on his brother. Saturos blocked the sword and sent a kick towards his face. Agatio easily dodged and sent a kick of his own. Saturos brought his sword down on Agatio's leg, but to his amazement, the sword didn't go through. Agatio cackled. "Yes, that's right," he said, "I'm wearing black dragon scales." Saturos muttered, and flame shot towards his brother's unprotected face. Water erupted from the ground, and engulfed the flame. Saturos gasped. "I thought you were a Mars adept," he said. Agatio laughed. "Did I never tell you? Oh, I'm so forgetful." With these words, a thin layer of fire surrounded him. "I have fire attacks too," he said. After that, several large chunks of ice fell from the air and landed nearby. Next, a lightning bolt came down next to Saturos. "I control all of the elements," said Agatio. "Not for long," said a voice. Ivan turned to see Alex and Picard standing next to each other. Alex spoke again. "Agatio, I know who you fear. I have made sure he will be here. Now, you will hand over the Mars star or die. Agatio just laughed. "Mars star," he said, "I have no Mars star." Alex drew his sword. "We'll see about that," he said. Suddenly, Garet appeared next to him, sword drawn. Garet spoke. "Agatio? Is that Agatio? I expected someone scarier. Oh well silly me." Sheba and Justin appeared next to them. Justin simply said, "Die, Agatio. We have been at work. You will not survive unless you give us the star." Agatio laughed nervously, and continued his fight with Saturos. It was interupted when a flash of purple light appeared in the sky and thunder was heard. Purple stones rained from the sky and a man appeared. The least likely man that Robin ever expected. Kraden. Agatio dropped his sword and it rattled across the floor. "Kraden..." he said, "I never expected..." A look of shock was on his face, but he drew another sword. "This is the end, Kraden. It is between you and me. If I destroy you, I will soon rule the world. If you destroy me, then "good" will rule the world. You call yourselves good, but you know as well as I do, that you wish to rule. All any of you want is power. Prepare yourself." Kraden coughed and a ball of purple energy appeared in his hand. In his other hand, the fang of a large dragon appeared. Agatio laughed. "So, you finally found the black dragon. If you have no more than a fang, you will lose. I also found a black dragon. I currently wear the scales of the dragon." Kraden shook his head. "Perhaps..." was all he said. The energy ball in his hand suddenly grew large and flew at Agatio. It smashed into his stomach, but he didn't even flinch. "Pathetic," he said, "It is pathetic that your strongest attack doesn't faze me in the slightest." Kraden shrugged. He leapt forward with his fang in front of him. To Ivan, it appeared that there were many fangs flying in the air. Agatio stood and watched as the sword missed continuously. Finally, he dropped his sword and drew a practically identical dragon fang from it's sheath at his side. "Kraden," he said, "You can't win. I have the scales, and you have only the fang." The old man coughed and then laughed. "Perhaps," he said again. He suddenly grabbed his fang with both hands and put his full weight into his blow. Agatio blocked it with trouble and sent a kick at the old man. He toppled over backwards but immediately got up. "I have won, Kraden," said Agatio. "It's only a matter of time before you wear out. I have plenty of energy left in me." Kraden shrugged, and said, "Let's see how much energy you have after this. Energy Drain." A flash of purple surrounded both men and was suddenly gone. Agatio laughed, and said, "I still have my earth, fire, and water power. You have only wind power." Kraden laughed heavily and struck his fang towards Agatio's face. When he pulled it away, Agatio's face was stained red. "Perhaps not as strong as you thought?" asked Kraden. Agatio smirked and copied the wound on Kraden's face. He mockingly imitated Kraden's voice and said, "Perhaps not as strong?"
Agatio continued to attempt to insult Kraden, who shrugged off everything he said for about half an hour. Occasionally, one or the other would strike out, and more likely than not, either miss or be blocked. Finally, Kraden lashed out and stabbed his dragon's fang through Agatio's head. The man screamed in pain, and then fell down. Felix kicked the body and said, "That's for all the pain you have caused us in the past years." Saturos rushed over and said, "Quick, we must find the Mars star!" After a thorough search, the star was found in a bag behind Agatio's armor. Saturos took it and put it in his pocket. Suddenly, he realized that Karst was still there. "Karst, you're my sister," he said, "please don't continue to terrorize people." The lady smirked, and replied, "I'll make no promise." Felix suddenly screamed and threw a ragnarok at her. She screamed out and fell down. Saturos glared at Felix, and said, "Revive her, we'll keep her as a prisoner." He rushed over and revived her. Saturos signalled to Picard, and they teleported immediately to Lunpa. "Felix, lock Karst up." Felix nodded and rushed away. Suddenly, tears began to fall from Saturos's face. "So many of my dearest friends have died," he said. Robin sighed. It had been a hard day. The word "bed" sounded so nice.
"Felix, we will have to train more young people for your force. We will immediately begin searching for the Mars lighthouse. The sooner we light it, the sooner... Perhaps... Perhaps we could bring them back!" said Saturos. Felix nodded. "The sooner we light that lighthouse, the better. Maybe Alex and Picard can help us," he said. He immediately rushed off to search for the location of the Mars lighthouse.
Several days later, Felix entered the Lunpan fortress. "Saturos, I have found the Mars lighthouse. It is heavily guarded by a variety of different monsters, and we will need all of our remaining forces to enter." Saturos smiled. "Excellent," he said, "Excellent." Felix and Saturos left the fortress immediately.

Well? Here it is! Agatio is dead, and Karst is a prisoner. This story might be almost over... or it might go on for twenty more chapters. It may go on forever. Only I know. I hope you like this story, because I'm planning to write another one!
