Oh to clear up some confusion. Ian in this story is NOT the same as Ian in Mercury's light. Two different people same name. And second of all. This story takes place just 2 days after MT. Aleph erupts. So where are Isaac, Garet ET all? Come on you can figure it out.
--------------------
(What is going on in this town? Ian was attacked and brought to the gate of town with his familiar. That strange man I saw near the entrance to this cave. Who are they all?)
These thought flew thought Word's mind as he ventured deep into the cave. The monsters weren't THAT tough. He hoped it would get harder. Finally he reached the bottom. He had been trying for 3 days but he kept getting lost and having to use retreat. He saw a man standing in the cave.
"Who are you? What are you doing down here?" Word asked.
"Waiting for you. I wish to fight you Word."
"??? How do you know who I am? Are you the one who attacked Ian?"
"Ian? I have harmed no member of this town. I just wish a fight with you."
"Why?"
"That is not your concern!" The man draws his sword. "Fight or I will kill you!"
"Go ahead. Then you'll never get your fight."
The man dropped his sword and smiled. "Brave. I like that. I am known as Kiansot. Remember the name. We WILL meet again.
With that Kiansot disappears from the cave. Word searches around for any kind of treasure before he becomes tired and also leaves.
-------------------------------------
Ian left the hospital. No little injury was gonna keep him away from his vow. He was gonna build that coliseum just to spite Slash. When he returned he gasped in amazement. His coliseum was finished. Exactly how he wanted it. Over head there were about 30 birds flying. All of them looked like Nym.
"Wha? What is this?"
Suddenly he understood. It was Nym's family. They were all called there by Nym to help him finish the coliseum for Ian. This was incredible.
"Thank you Nym. It would have been much harder if I didn't have your help. Where did you put 'THEM'?"
The familiar stands still and nothing is heard.
"In the vault? Thanks." Ian says a moment later.
He then proceeds into the coliseum.
-----------------------------
"I never dreamed I would actually use these again. Not since then. Not since I almost destroyed us all."
Ian is standing in the vault looking over a pair of gauntlets.
"But if I am to live I must tap into the power again. I have no choice."
He puts the gauntlets on his hands and throws a couple of practice punches. His strength and speed have increased 10 fold. Then his head throbs with pain.
"GAH!" He falls to the floor as a vision enters his mind. He sees a familiar figure leaving Vale. Another figure meeting with him. And then. A flash of light. Ian sees nothing more.
".....A terrible omen this is. I don't like this at all. I'd better go."
-------------------------
"Isn't it a nice day today."
Word was out in Vale looking around along the horizon. He hadn't seen many days like this where he used to be. It was so peaceful here. So quite. Not a care in the world. Just for now. And then....
"Word."
"Huh? Who's there?"
Word turns around to see Kiansot looking straight at him.
"I needed to see you."
"Why? If it's a fight you want I still say no."
"I understand that. But I need something more important then a fight."
Kiansot began walking towards Word. As he was walking Word felt uneasy. There was something wrong. Well....something more than before.
"Stop. That's close enough."
"As you wish." Kiansot stopped about 5 feet from Word.
"Now. What do you want?" Word ordered.
"You wouldn't understand. So I'll just take it!"
At this precise moment Ian exited his coliseum and was looking towards Vale. Then he saw. (WORD! It was him I saw! But that means...)
Sure enough a bright white light engulfed Word and Kiansot and Ian was blinded.
"WORD!"
It took several moments for Ian to be able to see again. When he looked up there was only one person standing there.

Take that! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
