Spirit Room
Disclaimer: I own nothing from Wild Arms 3 or Wild Arms 2. The title of the story and the chapters are not mine either.
Summary: Evil seeps through Filgaia as darkness corrupts much of the land. The Prophets are transported into the Filgaia of WA2 and later, so are the heroes of WA3. What is it that the Prophets are attempting to succeed by doing this?
A/N: This is AU, and they are transported when they go to sleep, the night before they go to that place of Clive's father-in-law (Professor). This is also going to be Virginia/Jet, Lilka/Ashley, Colette/Tim, and I decided to eventually also make it Kanon/Brad. I really don't like Marina that much… ^__^
2nd A/N: This chappie is a little sickening… Just a little…Also, Florina is a likkle bit ooc in this chappie…
Chapter Five: Here with Me
Blood gushed forth from the ruinous, cracked walls, slowly but surely flooding the tunnel. The metallic crimson liquid lapped at their feet, staining their clothes. Bloated bodies could be seen, floating in the liquid.
They turned to retreat but metal grating fell over the tunnel, surprising them into stillness. No one moved.
"We should continue then…" muttered Ashley, finally.
"I suppose…" intoned Virginia, doubtfully.
"But this is blood…" Lilka said, fearfully.
"Or we could figure out a way to get out of here…"
Five of them turned to look at the grating. It was rusty and old. But when they turned back to tell their comrades, another gate had fell, blocking their advance as well.
Blood pooled at their shins, staining articles of clothing with its rusty stain.
"…We need to get out of here…" Virginia murmured, sinking to her knees. Jet knelt next to her and helped her up.
"er…The wall is cracked, if you could bomb it," said Gallows.
Brad lit one of his explosives and dropped it in front of the small crevice in the wall. It landed with a soft thud, and blew up after a matter of seconds.
"What about you guys?" Virginia asked, shakily.
"If I'm correct, there are gems at the floor of this dip. If you could change the gems into blocks…"
"I'll do that!" Lilka used her change rod and created a bridge of orange blocks.
"We'll meet up outside, if not sooner." They all nodded in agreement, leaving their separate ways.

Virginia, Jet, Tim, Brad, and Marivel-
The first room was a beautiful, opaque pink. Each wall was covered with this pretty pink, and the ground had 'flowers' growing from it. A small girl stood in the middle of the field.
"Why didn't you save the flowers?!?!" demanded the docile blond. "Why didn't you save the earth!?! You destroyed your only chance at redemption!"
"F-florina?" sputtered Virginia, shakily.
"Why didn't you? All of the flowers are weeping and they are dying because you were selfish!" the girl snapped. She was seemingly ignoring what they were saying. She jabbed a mittened hand at Jet. "And you, I know why you looked so familiar! You are part of Filgaia, itself! So why didn't you save the earth and stop the corruption?!? You are so self conceited!" Florina snarled angrily.
"What's the matter, Florina? We saved the flowers and plants…"
"No you didn't! You just made it worse!"
"Can we save the flowers?" Virginia asked, timidly.
"…" The small girl waved her hand behind her. "Look! Do you think you could possibly save them?"

Ashley, Lilka, Gallows, Clive, and Kanon
The drying, crusty blood weighed down the bloated corpses. As they dashed through the liquid, skeleton hands reached out and grabbed at their ankles.
"Extend Requiem." The simple Arcana had easily destroyed the pathetic undead.
"I thought Virginia had Raftina."
"Nah, we traded when she saw the skeletons," Gallows replied.
The group continued to run. In the first room they reached, no light entered the room.
"Marina?"
A/N: You like? I typed this up a while ago, but I had to edit and I was grounded so I couldn't post… Sorry…
