I don't own Golden Sun.
Chapter Twenty Six
"Sir, I have just seen a huge army destroying the continent of Gondowan! Already, Suhulla and Lalivero have been destroyed. We must stop them before more innocent people die!" Saturos turned to see a young man who appeared to be in his mid twenties. He nodded. "Thank you, and do not worry. We will stop them before they can do any more harm. Alex, come here!" Alex walked up from his place in line behind Felix. "Yes?" he asked. "Teleport," replied Saturos. Alex nodded.
"There they are," said Alex. The group was hiding behind a rock watching the army go past. Saturos whispered, "Alright, we'll wait until they get past and then ambush them." Alex nodded and they waited for the enemy to pass. Soon, the last man passed and they quickly ran out behind them. Saturos whispered to Alex, "Watch this. I'm sick of fighting, I'm going to use my true power." He drew his sword which began to glow red. Suddenly, he was gone. A red blur flew around slaughtering men, and Alex choked some to death on water. Felix fought normally with his sword, but soon Saturos was worn out. Only a little over one hundred men remained, Ivan cast spark plasma and ten more fell. Robin threw a ragnarok spearing two more. The friends quickly eliminated all but one man: the Jupiter adept that had beaten Alex and Picard before. He approached with his sword drawn and laughed. "Greetings, fools. You may have been able to destroy my entire army, but I am stronger than all of them put together. Even my old commander, Gerald couldn't have beaten me. Even my great lord Agatio may not be able to defeat me." Ivan laughed, and replied, "He certainly can't, he's dead. We killed him." At this, the other man frowned. "Well, we'll see if you can kill me," he said. He suddenly sprang forwards and stabbed his sword through Picard. "I never liked you anyway," he said, withdrawing his sword. Robin rushed over and revived the Mercury adept. "You'll have to do better than that," he said. He drew his mithril sword. "Fight me alone if you dare," he said. The man laughed. "A mere child? I could beat you with my eyes closed," he said. Robin shrugged. "Then I suggest that you demonstrate," he replied. The man nodded. "I will," he said. He suddenly lunged forwards. Robin easily blocked and sent back his own attack. The man blocked with his sword and drew a knife with his empty hand. "Goodbye," he said. Robin smirked, and exploded the knife with a psynergy attack. The man laughed and drew another. Without any puase, he tried to stab Robin. The boy jumped backwards and blocked with his sword. He smiled, and arrows began to rain down. Suddenly, his opponent was gone. He looked around, but couldn't find him. Then, a voice came from seemingly all around him. The voice of the commander. "You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man!" he taunted. Then, two of him appeared. One of them said, "Hello," and the other echoed. The second man then said, "Goodbye," and this time the first man echoed. "Ivan, use reveal and tell me which is which," Robin telepathically communicated to his brother. A few seconds later, Ivan replied, "This is strange, they both appear to be real. No hallucinations..." Robin groaned, and barely managed to put his sword up in time to block the first man. 'Wow, this guy is strong,' thought Robin. Suddenly, his sword began to glow. Psynergy began to flow out if it and into his opponents. One by one, both of them dropped to the ground. Charon appeared on his shoulder, and said, "The legendary Venus Blade, I never thought I'd live to see it. It's one of the old treasures of the Venus clan in Lalivero. Only it could have such amazing power. That Kakarot fellow must really trust you to give you this." After saying all this, Charon disappeared. "Well, let's go to the Mars lighthouse now," said Felix. Alex teleported to where they had a boat waiting for them.
Several Days Later
"I see what you mean, heavily guarded," said Saturos with a groan. "That's a big enough force to take out the whole army of Tolbi!" Ivan looked confused. "Is it really?" he asked. Saturos shook his head. "It's an expression," he said, "People exagerate to make things sound more impressive than they really are. In fact, I can take them all out myself." He smiled and did exactly that. His sword glowed red, and soon the entire force guarding the entrance was dead. "That a new move, Saturos?" asked Felix, "I've never seen you use it before except when we fought the army." Saturos laughed. "The last time you saw me fight a large group of enemies before that was when?" Felix shrugged. "Exactly," said Saturos, "Let's go in." The group entered the lighthouse. All around them, there were huge crimson marble pillars up to the ceiling, which was about one hundred feet high. "Wow, this is a big room!" exclaimed Ivan. "I don't like it, it gives me the creeps," replied Alex. He shuddered. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a troll that somewhat resembled a man appeared. "Greetings, friends," he said, "I am the guardian of the Mars lighthouse. I have been appointed by... an authority. If you leave now, no harm will come to you. However, if you wish to enter the Mars lighthouse farther, you will fight me first. I'll worn you that I'm not easily defeated. I've never been beaten before. Make your choice, and be responsible for the benefits and pains that it will cause for you." Robin thought maybe the authority that the guardian referred to was Agatio. This idea was quickly removed from his head when the guardian said, "It wasn't Agatio. That fool. All he cared about was himself. Power. He didn't even care about... his brother." With the last words, he looked at Saturos. Saturos shuddered, and the guardian continued, "No, it wasn't him. Saturos, you are the leader of this group. Make your choice. Fight me, or leave. I'll let you go without a scratch if you decide that." Saturos shook his head. "We'll enter the lighthouse and fight you. We need the power of the elements to restore our friends." The guardian nodded his head. "So be it. Let the fight begin." A huge axe appeared in one of his hands, and a strange object in the other. It was a slightly curved, but fairly straight peice of wood with sharp peices of medal at the end. Ivan wondered what it was. In answer to his thoughts, the guardian said, "A boomerang. When I throw it, it comes back to me." He then proceeded to throw it... directly at Saturos. Saturos dodged barely in time, and it flew over him. For a moment he wasn't watching the guardian; just for a split second, but it was enough. By the time Saturos turned back to him, he was upon him. The axe was raised into the air, but before it came down, energy shot from Ivan's hands into the axe. It flashed green, and the troll shouted in pain. He turned on Ivan, who shot more energy into the enraged troll. Although he appeared to be in pain, the guardian showed no sign of major damage. "Powerful, but perhaps not enough," he said. With that, he lifted up his axe and brought the unsharpened part down on Ivan. Robin screamed as he saw his brother go limp, and he slammed two ragnarok's against the troll's tough hide. Alex began concentrating all of his energy into a huge water attack. Picard did likewise. "Die you evil monster!" shouted Garet. "You kill my friend!" He hurled his sword at the troll, but it affected him very little. Garet muttered. Out of lack of anything better to do, considering that the guardian had the power of Mars, as did he, he grabbed a peice of marble off the floor. It was only about two inches wide, but it weiged about a pound. He hurled it and struck the troll on the head. It groaned, and turned to Garet. "Pyroclasm!" the guardian shouted. The flames hid Garet from view for a few seconds, but when it died, down, Garet stood unfazed except that his clothes were blackened and burnt a way some. "Mars is week against Mars," he said sagely. The guardian laughed, and turned to Alex... just in time to get hit in the face with a ball of water energy. The guardian began to scream repeatedly, and Picard added his own attack. Alex fell down, exhuasted, and Garet continued in the same sage- like voice, "And, Mercury is strong against Mars." The guardian fell down and rubbed his eyes. "Enough," he said. "You have fought bravely, and for that I will revive your friend." He walked across to Ivan, and revived him. Suddenly, the troll disappeared as quickly as it had come. The party headed for the stairs heading farther into the lighthouse.
"How long have we been climbing?" asked an angry Garet. "We haven't had any action since that Guardian fellow, and we've climbed up atleast a thousand steps!" A couple minutes later, as if in answer to his complaints, the stairs emptied into an open roof. Saturos rushed forwards and threw the star into the beacon of the lighthouse. He watched and listened as it bounced against the sides of the beacon. Then, a ball of energy shot out from below. Out of the ball stepped a tall, strong looking man. "What do you want?" he asked in an angry voice. "We were hoping that if we lit all of the lighthouses, that we could restore the lives of the innocent people that have died in the past. It is a legend that has been passed down for centuries. We hoped that it was true." The man shook his head. "It wasn't true," he said, "The punishment for discontentment is death. Judgement they call me. I'll give you judgement. Prepare to die. You and your friends. The guardian told me you were coming. You fools..." Judgement put his shield in front of him and shouted, "Judgement Blast!" A huge ball of energy slammed into the lighthouse, making it shake. Saturos fell down into the beacon, and Judgement turned to the others. "This is the end!" he said. He repeated his attack and the remaining friends fell down.

Isaac coughed. "Tell another story!" said Justin. "Yeah, another story!" added Megan. Isaac grinned. "Well, ok. But after this, I think you should really go to bed. Once upon a time..." he began.
The End
Haha, now how many of you were expecting that? I wasn't! Oh well, I hope that you liked it. REVIEW!
