Nintendo, Camelot, Squaresoft, Sega and Konami do. Don't sue me; you'll only get pocket lint anyway. Also, pieces of the first part are taken straight from the opening of Golden Sun: The Lost Age (I added some stuff too). This story (obviously) takes place after TLA, so don't read if you want to find out the story of TLA yourself. If you haven't played TLA, but want to read this anyway, everything should be outlined below.

Prologue (If you've beat TLA, You might want to skip this)

Ages ago, or so the stories tell, the power of Alchemy ruled over Weyard. Alchemy wrought the base elements of humanity into thriving civilizations, like lead into gold. But in time, man's dreams gave birth to untold strife. Dreams of eternal riches, of eternal life, of dominion over all that lived… Dreams of conquest and of war. These dreams would have torn the world apart if not for a few brave and wise men, who sealed away the power of Alchemy deep in Mt. Aleph's Sol Sanctum.

-Prologue from Book 1-

The day after the ordeal on Jupiter Lighthouse, Isaac learned the truth about the lighthouses, and Felix and Isaac joined forces to light the final lighthouse. When they arrived in Prox, they discovered that Agatio and Karst had failed to light the lighthouse. If the lighthouse was not lit soon, Prox would be next to be swallowed up in Gaia Falls, the enormous waterfall at the edge of the world that cascaded into nothingness. Felix and Isaac took it upon themselves to light Mars Lighthouse. When they arrived at the aerie, they found The Wise One waiting for them. Saying he could not interfere with the actions of man, he told Isaac and Felix if they wanted to light the beacon, they would have to defeat a miracle, and he summoned a fearsome three-headed dragon. While the Dragon was defeated, The Wise One's real trick was revealed: The dragon was really Isaac's father and Jenna and Felix's parents fused into the form of the dragon. Near death, even Mia and Picard's healing powers couldn't save them. Felix finally cast the Mars Star in, releasing the seal on Alchemy. At that moment, the Mars Psynergy overflowing from the reddish-golden light rejuvenated the fallen parents. Then, the lights all shot off towards Mt. Aleph, to merge into the Golden Sun, forming the Stone of Sages. Now, Alex's true intentions were revealed, as he stood at the peak of Mt. Aleph, to absorb some of the power of the Golden Sun.

-Golden Sun Book 2: The Lost Age-

As Alex attempted to use his new powers to control the powers of nature, The Wise One appeared and challenged the Water Adept's new power. The Wise One easily defeated Alex, and Mt. Aleph and Vale sank deep into the earth. When Isaac, Jenna, Garet and Felix returned to their village, they found it completely destroyed, but their families had survived, so everyone would live happily ever after since Alex was sealed in Mt. Aleph… Or would they? Our final chapter begins in the foothills above Vale, as Isaac and his friends are reunited with their families…

Chapter 1: The New Beginning

"So… where are we going to live now that Vale is destroyed, grandpa?" asked Garet.

"I don't know Garet…" replied the town's former mayor," I doubt the Inn at Vault will house all of us…"

"What about Lemuria? I'm supposed to go back and tell King Hydros what happened, remember?" pointed out Picard.

"That's true, but that's pretty far away," said Isaac.

"So? You can just use the teleport lapis on the ship, remember?" reminded Kraden.

"Oh yeah… I completely forgot about that," said Garet.

"Why am I not surprised?" wondered Jenna.

"Hey! That was uncalled for!" complained Garet.

"Let's go… to Lemuria," declared Isaac, and they reboarded the ship and teleported to the mouth of the port in the cave below the city.

"You know… it's kind of strange," said Mia.

"What?" asked Isaac.

"When we tried to get into this country to save Babi, we couldn't do it. Now, we're just teleporting there with some Psynergy," replied Mia.

"Yeah… I guess it is kinda strange," agreed Isaac.

"It wouldn't have done you any good anyway," said Picard," The spring that created the draught has long since run dry. Lemurians just have longer life spans in the first place, which is how we live so long."

"I guess… you know, we should probably stay far away from Tolbi. They'll probably blame us for Babi's death for not fulfilling that promise," noted Ivan.

"You'd be right… Alex told us the whole city was in an uproar. The newspapers were totally slandering you guys," said Sheba.

"We're here," said Kraden. The party departed the ship and headed straight for the Palace.

"Ah… you've returned. Based on the flashes of light we saw over your lands to the west, you've released Alchemy on the world again, haven't you?" asked the palace guard.

"That would be correct," confirmed Picard.

"That must be what caused the recent earthquakes as well," said another guard.

"Earthquakes? What's been going on here?" asked Picard.

"Uh… the King will explain it," said the guards, and they announced them and led them into the King's chambers, where King Hydros and Lunpa awaited them.

"Felix… you've returned. Are we correct in assuming that the lighthouses have been lit?" asked Hydros. Felix nodded in response.

"So, then… we'll just see what happens from here. By the way, that day the lights were flying over Vale, there was an Earthquake. You might want to take a look at ancient Lemuria again," said Lunpa, then he noticed the doubled party size," I don't believe we've met before… would you mind telling us your names?"

"I'm Isaac," said Isaac, stepping forward, slightly bowing his head in respect.

"It's Garet, and shorty here is named Ivan," said Garet.

"Hey! I'm not that short!" interjected Ivan. Isaac turned around and gave them an exasperated expression, before motioning toward Mia.

"This is Mia," introduced Isaac, Mia also bowing slightly.

"So Lunpa, what were you saying about the ancient Lemuria ruins earlier?" asked Kraden interestedly.

"The water level there seems to have lowered when the earthquake hit. There is a very interesting ancient ruin there… it may have something to do with Alchemy… you may want to examine it," suggested Lunpa.

"Thanks for the tip… I think we'll do that," said Felix. They exited the palace.

"If anyone is tired, my uncle was expanding the house to include an underground guest room. I think he said he would have it finished by the time we got back," said Picard.

"Good… I don't think we could keep up with you kids anymore," said Garet's father. So, the Valeans' families headed for Picard's uncle's house, and the adepts headed back to their ship. After a short trip through the series of caves beneath the city, they arrived at ancient Lemuria.

"Look! Felix! That stone archway! It was submerged last time we were here!" exclaimed Kraden.

"I remember… what could be down there, I wonder?" mused Felix.

"We'll never find out by standing here. Let's go!" exclaimed Jenna. So, the group of nine proceeded down the long hallway, and found themselves in front of two strange double doors. When they pushed them, they wouldn't budge.

"What kind of doors are these?" asked Sheba.

"I don't know," replied Ivan.

"Hey! I found something!" exclaimed Isaac, who had been standing next to the doors. Brushing off some moss, a shiny panel with a button and an arrow pointing down.

"Press it, Isaac! I'll bet it opens the doors!" exclaimed Garet.

"You think?" said Jenna.

"Well… what else would it do?" asked Garet.

"She was being sarcastic again, Garet," explained Mia.

"Uhh… I knew that," said Garet, turning a bit red. Isaac pushed the button, and the doors slid open, revealing a small, enclosed room.

"It's a dead end…" griped Picard. Isaac stepped into the room and examined the walls carefully. This time, the panel with buttons was free of moss, so Isaac motioned for them to enter. Somehow, all nine of them packed themselves into the tiny room to nowhere, and Isaac pushed the button. This time, the doors slid closed and the room shook, then they all got a feeling of downward movement.

"What kind of crazy place is this?" asked Mia.

"I have NO CLUE," replied Picard.

"I wonder where this elevator is going…" said Ivan. He didn't have to wait long, as the room came to a sudden stop, and the doors slid open again. They stepped out, and this time, they found themselves in another hall.

"So, you found the cave of the ancients," came a familiar voice from behind them," And your powers have greatly increased… an effect of absorbing all that elemental energy at Mars Lighthouse, no doubt." The group whirled around and found themselves face with Vale's protector.

"The Wise One!" exclaimed Isaac.

Author's Note in Closing: That's all this time. Next time, we get… A long-ass cut-scene. Meh. Oh well. The story will really pick up in Chapter 3 or 4, so have a little patience. And, for those of you wondering, for the most part, that's my set-up in the game, except I usually give Jenna Masamune. However, for story reasons, I couldn't. Don't worry, she gets a better, new class of weapons next chapter. Wait a sec… I just gave away one of the characters I'm borrowing… Oh well. If you can figure it out, I'll give you a cookie! And if you review, I'll give you a golf club!
