Chapter 14 - The Line is Tied?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, I came up with another crappy title.... Not bad for one who until an hour ago was in the middle of a depression...

Anywho, time for some long-delayed review responces -

Anoymous() - Thanks!

AmbieChan - Thanks! I couldn't resist!

Akachi - So *that's* why so many Isaac/Mia and Garet/Jenna fans are still around!! Anywho, Thanx!

Rain Child - Thanks for the sympathy.... If not obvious, the above stated depression was caused by my situation... But thanks for the review!! BTW, who are the other writers that you talk of??

Kyarorain - Thanks for the correction!! I haven't gotten around to replaying GS1, so my spelling was off a touch...

Dragona - [Glares at the comment of I/J] Well, get over it. We are growing stronger every day!!! BWAHAHAHAHA!!! [AHEM] If this were my game, then I wouldn't skip so much. But sadly, I have to work with what's given, so [raspberry]. Thanks anyway... (took you long enough...[ducks])

Reviews aside, please keep in mind that this was written over the course of several days [and countless mood swings], so bear with me... As I told the Child of Rain, I'm a Senior about to graduate, and have recently been diagnosed with an allergy to wheat [*all* wheat - all bread, flour, everything] and milk [oh, joy]. So this is Mikaa saying, HERE WE GO!!

Sheba - Forgeting someone?

oh... MIKAA DOESN'T OWN... What do you mean... someone??

Sheba - Where's Karst and Agatio in this story??

Uh, wait for it... And since you interupted...

Sheba - No, you do it.

[Whips out Daedalus]

Sheba - MIKAA DOESN'T OWN GOLDEN SUN!!! AHHH!! BE NICE!!!

SMOKEN!!

Sheba - I'll get my revenge!!

Piers sliced through the hide of some lizard, trying to catch up with Felix and the others. While in the Jupiter Lighthouse, they had been seperated when Sheba and Jenna found out how to remove the seal from the beacon, and Piers had finally found them. And none too soon, as he could barely hold the Trident any longer...

Seeing Felix kneel over something, he ran towards them, only to find Jenna, lying on the ground with hair splayed like the flame of her element. Seeing Felix try to heal her, Piers stood, trying to get a better view. Jenna had a huge gash in her skin, apparently from some kind of blade, right at her ribs.

And Piers doubted that Felix could cure it.

Seeing Felix shoulders slump, Piers placed a hand on the raven haired man, gesturing that he move aside. Kneeling beside Jenna, he called upon Mercury's power to form a sphere of water. Pouring the elixer into the flesh, he watched as the tendons of muscle and cells of flesh mended, sealing the wound. He saw her returning to reality, and checked her pulse, making sure that everything was fine...

...only to have her grab his face and kiss him.

Shocked at this action, he pulled away, seeing realization fill her face. And it slowly dawned on him why she had acted that way -

- she thought he was Isaac.

Scrambling to her feet, she turned redder than her garments, trying to not look at him or Felix. Knowing that she was quite embarrassed, he paced up to her.

"Uh, sorry about that..."

She shook her head. "No, it's my fault. I thought that you were Isaac for a second..."

He knew it.

"It was an accident. It doesn't mean anything. Right?" Felix and Sheba, who had only seen the kiss, nodded.

Jenna still didn't look at them.

"Well," Sheba spoke," if it makes any difference, I thoguht I sensed Isaac getting closer..."

Jenna turned, her red face replaced with beaming joy.

"C'mon! Let's go!!" And she took off, dragging Piers with her.

Behind him and his exited companion, Piers heard Felix and Sheba talking:

Felix - Did you really?

Sheba - No, I just tho...

Felix - What?

Sheba - Nothing, never mind...

Piers couldn't hear the rest, for he had to draw his Trident to ward off the latest foe...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sword in hand, blood on cloth, frown on face, anger in place, Isaac walked up the Lighthouse stairs. Beside him stood Kraden, and ever since Karst and her friend had left them to die, he hadn't said a word. When he had gain control of his body, Isaac had expected to find Jenna nearby, but instead was greeted with the news of her journey to the aerie, to aid... him.

Felix.

How could that guy just turn on them like that? They were friends, weren't they?

*Apparently not...*

Arriving on the aerie, Isaac noticed the fleeing Karst and her friend, along with... Alex? Turning towards the aerie, he saw four figures, but only one had his full attention. *She's fine.*

"Oh! You're looking better!"

Isaac frowned even deeper as his mentor's cheeriness wore on his last nerve.

Refocusing his gaze, he greeted his... friends. "Felix, Jenna..."

While her brother continued to stare at him, Jenna decided to speak up. "Isaac... Garet..."

"Man! They got away! What a bunch of jerks!"

You'd think that they'd be used to being too late...

"All right, Felix! We want to know what's going on!"

To Isaac's surprise, Kraden spoke up. "It's all quite complicated, Isaac. There are a number of extenuating circumstances..."

The giant behind Isaac decided to speak again. "What are you talking about, Kraden?"

*Semms Garet's feeling better...*

Sensing the tension rise, Isaac placed his hand on his blade as a small figure darted past him, positioning himself between the arguing parties. "Look, I don't think any of us are in any shape for another fight right now."

Isaac stared at the younger mage, surprised that he was doing this. "What do you mean, Ivan?"

The Jupitarian stared back at him. "I'm just saying that we should get ourselves back to Contigo and sort things out there."

Kraden spoke, "That's a sound plan, Ivan... I fully agree."

Isaac glanced at his friends, seeing their nods of approval, turning towards Felix, only to recieve a hard stare.

"I'm sorry, Isaac. I don't have time to explain everything..."

If not for the voice that came next, Isaac would've charged him.

"He's right, Felix. It's time we explained ourselves to them. We should go to Contigo. We'll be there, Isaac. I promise. I hope you can still trust me..."

Isaac tried to ignore the tears in his eyes, wet from the angel's voice. "I've never stopped trusting you, Jenna. I'll be waiting for you in Contigo. We'll be expecting you." Turning to Felix, he glared. "Don't think you can sneak out of this! You owe us an explanation!" And with that, he turned towards the elevator, pondering how he could get him and Jenna alone...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

On board Felix's ship, there was much activity. Night had fallen upon the newly formed alliance, and the sounds of feet could be heard all over the ship.

And Ivan was glad for it.

Standing behind Piers, Ivan stared at the three huddles of human bodies, listening to their silent tune. Had he a girl, he'd dance along, but listening to the loving thoughts were enough. Felix held Sheba close as they danced their silent song, as did Garet and Mia. The wildest pair, by far, was Isaac and Jenna, who pranced up one side of the ship, and down the other.

And despite the need for sleep, everyone was up all night, and even he and Piers stayed up, watching the lovers dance all night.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Sniff* That was sad...

Sheba - What, the dancing pairs again?

No, the McDonalds ad that just was on... and the KFC... and the Wendys... And Pizza Hut... and...

Sheba - ...we get the idea. Go eat a granola chocolate chip...

*sniff* Okay...

Sheba - REVIEW!!
