Author's Note: Sorry this took a while! I AM only a 14 year old punk trying to run a website and post on 2 forums! Anyway, I appreciate those of you who are still waiting for this. By the way, if you see any questionable grammar I'm planning to revise most all of the fic after the finale so don't worry.

------------------------ Chapter 5 - Mud ------------------------
"That I love him and that my only hope is for him to return to his friends and family. And me.." A feminine voice rang throughout the void. After a few moments both Isaacs recognized it's source.
"Mia!" Isaac called out to her but it didn't seem to have any affect.
The mimic only scoffed, "What does she in a pathetic creature like you? You can't even move!"
The shadow beast continued to approach his helpless victim. Isaac tried with all his might to rise but could not summon the strength. All seemed hopeless as it raised its blade. It was then that a refreshing mist fell upon Isaac's limp body. The darkness paid it no mind as its sword fell towards Isaac, only having his blade ricochet off a strange, blue aura.
"What is this trickery? How can such a pathetic creature summon such a strong barrier?"
The mist continued to fall, baffling both Isaacs as it cured his wounds. Isaac slowly rose to one knee as his strength began to return to him. He gripped the ancient Sol Blade as he rose to his feet.
"I can feel it.." He stated, seemingly to himself.
"Feel what, you fool?!"
"The power.. The loving aura of water." He explained.
--------------------------------------------------------------
"I guess I've done all I can.." Mia sighed as her tears fell once again to Isaac's face, "I just wish there was something I could do for him. I hate feeling so.. Useless."
She was unaware that her tears had begun to seep into Isaac's flash. As if by some miracle she was unwittingly bettering Isaac's health, slowly but surely. Her tears continued to fall as she prayed against fate for his safety.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac's darkness continued to hack and slash at his recovering body to little affect as every blow was met with the barrier. All the while Isaac prepared for what he hoped would put an end to this madness.
"Argh!! Can't you see your life is not worth living? All the wrongs you have committed!! Have you forgotten their faces?! Saturos, Menardi, Agatio, Karst.. ALL OF THEM DIED BECAUSE OF YOUR INCOMPOTENCE!!"
"You are wrong. They died fighting for what they believed."
"At YOUR hands!! You do not belong in that world with such bloodied hands!! You even killed your own mother and father, scoundrel!!"
Isaac's eyes shot open. When had he ever done anything to his father? Three years ago he could have done nothing against that boulder. But was his lack of power the cause of his death?
"I couldn't have done anything. Not then.." Isaac answered in sorrow.
"And what of your mother?"
He was at a loss for words again, "Her.. Her death was for Weyward."
"Her death was in vain!!"
Was all this true? Clouds of doubt swirled in his mind as he contemplated his actions. Was he the cause of so much pain? It was true he had killed so many, unaware of the true fate of the world. It was true he had not the power to save his father. It was even possible that the Golden Sun he had caused had murdered his mother. How could Mia even still want him alive after all the destruction he had caused?
--------------------------------------------------------------
"How's he hanging, Mia?" Kyle questioned as he stood before her and Isaac.
Mia looked up at him as she tried to keep a look of dignity through her tears, "I.. I don't know, sir."
"You've been here almost all day. Maybe you should take a break with the rest of your friends at the pub." He suggested.
"If it's very much alright with you, I'd rather stay with Isaac." She said politely as her gaze turned back to Isaac."
"Alright, just don't overwork yourself. I hope he gets better soon. I'm sure his mother's dying to see him." With that, he left.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Their voices rang once again in the void. Isaac's spirits rose astoundingly as he heard his father's voice for the first time in three years. The shadow was unimpressed however.
"Lies! All of it! You're just hearing things!"
"I can't take that chance! I can't risk not seeing him again!!" Isaac sheathed his sword in preparation for his next move. Swirls of gold and blue circled Isaac as he rose his hands in the air and spread his legs apart, "Judgment Spear!!"
A gigantic orb of gold hovered high above Isaac and soon an icy spear shot from the heavens and through the orb, causing both energies to shoot towards the dark Isaac and engulf it with an explosion of Earth and Water.
It began to fade back into mist before evaporating completely as it screeched in confusion, "But.. I am you and you are I!!"
"I am no longer bound by my hatred. A loveless creature like you no longer has a purpose in my heart."
Smiling to himself, Isaac turned back towards the light. The exit bore eight faces: Garet, Jenna, Sheba, Ivan, Piers, Felix, Kyle and most importantly.. Her. The exit seemed closer then it had ever been as he dove through it, not knowing what to expect but not really caring. Any place was better then the dank, eerie place he was in.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Isaac opened his eyes to find himself in an unfamiliar cabin of sorts. As his vision began to adjust he saw all his friends and his father standing by his bed, save for Mia.
"Buddy! You're ok!!" Garet shouted as he hugged his childhood friend.
Isaac gasped for air as the gorilla continued to bear hug him, "Nice to see you too, Garet! But please let me breathe!!"
He received many more warm greetings, even by Kraden, but he was more concerned with the girl that stood by the door. Unknown to any but Isaac, she opened the door and left as tears streamed down her face.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Author's Note: What a confusing chick! You'd think she'd be happy to see the poor guy alive! I guess we'll just have to figure out what the heck's up with her on the next chapter! The finale is upon us!
