Disclaimer: I don't own Golden Sun. I don't own much at all, other than a purple dream catcher. If you sue me, you end up with that. Is it worth it? Really? Although it IS a nice dream catcher...

A/N: Oooh, am I being mean to Menardi? Sorry if I am Selena, but like Karalen she caused me MUCH pain on Golden Sun. Damn Death Scythe, killing my members instantly...and she seemed to have it in for Ivan (who was my healer!) Sorry, I'm rambling. Please enjoy this chapter. If its crap, tell me (but no flames!) and I'll try to better myself...maybe. Remember to review, and be honest. But only be honest if you're being nice. I cry easily!

"OPEN UP!" shouted Selena, banging on the door of Mars Lighthouse. It had been a day, and Jenna, David and Puelle, or any of the Proxians for that matter, had not returned.

Sheba had told them all about Menardi, and her implications with Saturos. And this had made Selena worried.

"OPEN THIS FLAMING DOOR!" she drew her mace, and abruptly started to batter it.

"Selena! Calm down!" Isaac put a hand on her shoulder. He looked at the lighthouse. "We need to find another way in."

"Hey, over here!" shouted Mik. The others hurried over, and saw where he was pointing. A few bricks were missing from part of the exterior.

"Someone small can fit through there!" he said.

Isaac looked at them. Although he didn't like it, he had no choice.

"Leo, Shadow, you two up to it?"

They both nodded.

"I'm going too." Said Becca. "I know all about mythology, and have read all of Grandfathers work. You may need my knowledge."

Isaac hesitated.

"Sure, that's a GREAT idea!" said Sheba. "What?" she asked when Isaac glared at her. "I was only a year older than her when I was involved in lighting the lighthouses!"

"Ok, ok." He sighed. Ivan and Karalen looked at him. "So what should WE do?" asked the elf.

"All we can do right now is wait."

Selena gripped her mace, her knuckles whitening. "While Jenna's in there, I can't promise I'll be too good at that." She said.

-

Becca went through first, Shadow last. They appeared in a corridor.

"Stay close!" hissed Shadow, using his Psynergy to camouflage them into the backgrounds. They snuck along the wall, freezing when two guards walked past.

Leo looked at them. They were carrying a tray of food and water.

"They're probably heading for the prisoners." He said. "I'll follow. You two see if you can find anything."

"Will you be all right? I don't wanna face the wrath of Mik should anything happen to you!" warned Becca.

"I'll be fine! Now GO!" he hissed, and stalked after the guards.

Shadow motioned for Becca to follow. They came across a room, and snuck inside. There were two figures talking.

"What's the matter? You've been acting off with me since I came back! What happened to the Saturos I knew?"

"Menardi..." the voice sounded weary. "This is a lot for me. You've come back, just when I was trying to move on."

"With HIM?!? What does he offer you that I never did?"

"Nothing, But you don't offer anything HE doesn't either. I just cant..."

Becca saw the woman. So that was Menardi. But she didn't seem as cold and heartless as the other made out. She was like Saturos, had merely enclosed her heart in stone. It wasn't MADE of stone. And now, that stone had cracked.

"Please Saturos. I need you. I can't do this without you. Isn't this what we wanted?"

Saturos cupped Menardi's face. "I know. And Mars knows I love you, Menardi. But I can't do this. Even if I hurt him, I can't do this to David. Kill his friends. Then he will be left with nothing."

Menardi looked at him, tears falling down her cheeks. She buried her head in his chest. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't make you choose..."

Saturos pulled her chin up to face him. "I love you Menardi. More than I can say. But I DO have feelings for him...so please, let's not go through with this, ok? For me?"

Menardi was about to respond, when there was a harsh knock at the door.

A guard came in, with Leo at spear point.

"Leo?" Saturos glared at the boy.

"Erm, you DO realise I will be personally complaining about the treatment of guests here!" he said, scowling at the Mars Adept.

Becca stepped forwards, but Shadow held her back.

Menardi had turned back to her old cold self. "We will deal with this whelp later." She said briskly. "You know too much, boy. We can't let him live."

Leo paled. "Saturos, you wouldn't..."

Saturos didn't look at him. "Take him to the other prisoners. We'll deal with him in the morning."

-

Leo was thrown roughly into the cell. Jenna and David stood up.

"Owie." He rubbed his head.

"Oh, Leo!" Jenna grabbed him, and held him close to her.

David ran to the bars, and called out to the guard.

"What's he doing here?" he asked crossly. "He isn't a Mars Adept."

"That's the problem. But Saturos will be...'dealing' with him tomorrow." The guard went.

"Menardi said I know too much to live." Whispered Leo. "That I can't be allowed to live..."

David knelt down beside him, and hugged him fiercely. "That's NOT gonna happen, Even if we have to FIGHT our way out of here, without weapons, OR Psynergy."

-

Outside, Shadow and Becca explained all they had overheard. After Leo had been taken, they had heard the plans of the Phoenix, and what it meant for the rest of them.

"I'm gonna get him out of there. NOW!" snarled Mik, dashing for the hole. Isaac grabbed his collar. "And what good will that do?" he asked. The wolf boy growled at him menacingly.

Selena was still at the door, her mace on the ground, her anger spent. She sobbed softly. "Jenna...I need you." She wept.

Saturos opened the door, and closed it behind him. Selena's tear stained face snapped up. Maybe not ALL her anger was spent...

A quick punch to the side of the head knocked him over, as she pounced on him, and gabbing her mace, raised it above her head.

"WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?!?" she roared. Isaac and the others ran over.

"I'll tell you!" said Saturos.

"Why are you helping us?" asked Karalen suspiciously. "Aren't you and MENARDI going to kill us all? And you left David for HER?!?" She was getting angry too. If Selena didn't kill him, she sure as hell would.

"Selena, let him up." Said Isaac.

"Shoulda killed him." Growled Mik.

Ivan pulled him up. "Explain. But make it quick. Our friends are in there, and you are what stands between us."
"Just so you know, I'm doing this for David. I've done it ALL for David. And now he's gonna be hurting. And I can't let him be alone." Saturos sighed. "I can't hurt him more than I have to, ok? And if that means letting all of you live, then..." he trailed off.

"Menardi is going to have Leo executed. She refuses to be weak in front of others."

"But she is, when she's with you." Said Becca quietly. "She loves you, Saturos. Don't you come first?"

"Ordinarily, yes, but this is different. Backing down now could mean all sorts of problems, and risking hers and my lives. She would NEVER put my life on the mine."

"But if someone ELSE were to stop it..." said Ivan

"Then Menardi and I wouldn't be responsible."

Sheba looked at him. "I will never forgive you for hurting David, but we don't have much choice. What's the plan?"

"It will be easier to get in during the execution, which will be held at the top. David and Jenna have been...invited to watch. All three are wearing bracelets that block their Psynergy. All I can suggest, is you storm Mars Lighthouse then. Tomorrow at noon. Here's the key to the door. If one of you gets in like you did before and unlocks the door from the inside, it will look less suspicious."

"Let's get some sleep." Said Isaac. "We all need our strength tomorrow."
