Chapter 8 - Alex's Affection
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, this chapter was written on the basis that Isaac's mom was alone and sick, for whatever reason, and I needed to go to that scene.
While I hate admiting that I don't own Golden Sun, I love the dialog that you get with Alex after you capture Biggs in the Inn. Yes, I'm replaying, and is there a way to feed the starving kid near between the main city and the ruins? I even tried to give him an Apple...
On a side note - Dragona finally reviews my story (an event that happens less often than a brand new platforming concept), and wouldn't ya know it? She gripes at me. Oh, well...
And thanks to the rest of you for reviewing!! Rain Child, please let me know when you see Karst for the first time, and let me know when you see Isaac! (That was funny... Isaac being helped by a "foe...") And to anyone who hasn't, read Alex's mind when you meet him in the Jupiter Lighthouse!! I won't spoil it yet, but in about a week, my parings sheet will have to be ammended to accomidate Alex's flirting with Jenna and his feelings for Mia (maybe my story is right...)
Onto the show!!

Dora tried to walk to the door to go out, but gave up as her head became lighter than air. For the last few weeks, her condition, still not known, had decayed faster than her hopes of seeing her son again. Rumors had reached Vale a week ago telling of a group of bandits that had fought three teens with unbelievable powers, and Dora felt that Isaac had to be involved. Mother's sixth sense, intuition, ESP, Jupiterian psycics, or whatever, she had a gut feeling that he was involved.
Grasping the arm of the sofa nearby, she sat down, lest she fall to the floor. She knew that Isaac was torn at the loss of Jenna, and she knew that if he discovered her condition, he'd never leave. Sadly, though, there would be nothing he could do. The finest healers of Vale had tried to cure him, and even the elder failed, which showed that she was hoplessly doomed.
First Kyle had been taken from Isaac, then Jenna. If she succumed to her illness, Isaac would soon fall. Realizing this, Dora again tried to go to the door, only to pass out as the inkeeper's wife entered with lunch...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Slicing through the remains of some poor zombified creature, Garet couldn't help but feel sorry for Isaac. Having recieved the Cloak Ball from Babi, they hoped to infiltrate Lunpa and rescue Hammet; the only problem was that they were less than two days from Vale, and Garet knew that Isaac wanted to check on his mother. Sadly, he learned from a merchant at Vault that Isaac's mother was sick, and if she didn' improve, would pass on.
Thus far, Garet had kept quiet about it, and had only told Mia and Ivan. Ivan, for his part, confessed at hearing the events that occured in Mia's shady past, and offered any support that he could. Garet remembered seeing Isaac's zonked face when he visisted on the boat, and wondered if Isaac knew...
Mia came closer, arm bleeding from some insectoid. Garet whipped out some herbs to cure her, but Mia stopped him, pointing to the fallen figure ahead of them. The body seemed to have been badly bruised, and looked sicker than the time Isaac got chicken pox. And if the rain hadn't helped enough, the poor guy's shirt was gone, and so was his pants. And so were his weapons...
...and so was the blood from Garet's face when he saw who it was...
Isaac.
Unsure as to how Isaac had gotten this way (or as to how he had gotten this far ahead), Garet picked him up, and called out to Ivan, who had just fried a rat warrior's weapon, searing the creature. Realizing that Vault wouldn't be happy to learn of more theft, he decided that the only way to go was to Vale, where he hoped that Isaac might be cured...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sitting in a nearby tree, Alex stared at his goddes. He had seen the events that had led to Isaac's batterment, and the damn bug that stung his love. He saw the Martian leaning over his friend, and saw Mia's face.
She seemed disturbed, as if all hope were lost. And Alex knew why - Isaac's demise would end any hope for the four warriors to stop the lighthouses. And despite the fact that helping them would conflict with his goal, he made a descision.
Raising his hand, he called upon his water powers to create a hole for the sun to shine through. While not much, it seemed to give the "heros" hope to reach Vale.
*And with that out of the way...*
Jumping from his perch, Alex began to go to action...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Mia bent over Isaac's body, searching for any more physical scars or marks of abuse. Behind her, Garet slept peacefully, while Ivan rested a few feet away, having fallen asleep on watch.
She considered waking him, but ever since Isaac brought Ivan's possible depression to light, she thought the better of it. She reached for Isaac's blanket...
"Mia..."
She froze. She knew that voice. Knew who it was. And knew that she was helpless.
"Mia, I know you can hear me. I just wanted to say, uh... I love you. And I know that you have feelings for Garet. ....And...I just want...you to know that... no matter what, I will always love you... And tell Isaac that Jenna loves him...."
Mia turned, hoping to see the owner of the voice. But all she got were bushes wavering side to side, signs that her admirer had left.
And she suddenly felt colder, knowing what he said...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Okay, can I make this any more depressing? Actually, I could, but I plan to... [censor]. And that's the plan.
If anyone knows all of the places that you can meet Alex in GS2, give me a hollar, as I want to put the puzzel together and see if he really likes Mia.
Do Karst and her stupid comrade survive? I really have no clue... And Nintendo told me that "new games are always being produced" when I asked of a Game Cube Golden Sun, and I think that despite the sidestep, they might make a new game.
Note to gamers who only play RPGs for story - After you beat the game, make a save file for the completed game and start an Easy File. Believe me, I'm already at Airs Rock after only five hours (damn dungeon...). Anywho.
REVIEW, LEST I QUIT!!! (J/K) And within a week my bios page should have more of the pairings, so let me know what you think!!
