Disclaimer: SUE ME AND GET IT OVER WITH!

(Somewhere in the desert...)

Vyse moaned and pushed himself up. He felt sand falling off his back as he rose. He had to find air!

His head popped out of the sand and he took a breath.

" ...Fina? Aika? Gilder...huh?" He saw a figure in the distance.

It came closer. He closed his eyes.

"Need help, Vyse?"

He opened them and saw Ramirez. He held Vyse's head and pulled up. Vyse's body came up with it.

"Thanks...you know where Fina is?"

Ramirez jerked his thumb behind him.

"And Gilder?"

Vyse's 10 o'clock.

"...and Tiria?"

"I dunno."

They spent the better part of the day searching for all of them, especially Clara and Tiria. Gilder shook his head.

"How could they land so far?"

"Well, we were travelling pretty fast, so We were projected at different times." Fina sighed.

Vys enoticed another figure. A man.

The man waved. Vyse squinted and saw it was Enrique. He waved back.

Enrique caught up.

"Hello."

"Hi, Enrique."

"You...know where Moegi is?"

Vyse stood stiff. "I don't know, but I'm surprised we all survived that fall...."

They all gazed up. The cloud layer was at least one mile up.

"Vyse!" He whipped around and saw another person, looking like it was carrying another.

Tiria came into view carrying Clara. She dumped her into the sand and wiped her hands.

"We REALLY need to get out of here. Whos missing?"

"...Marco!"

They shouted his name for a few hours before Clara collapsed again into Gilder's arms

"Maybe we should call it a day." Vyse said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He walked up to his master, who was sitting in a chair.

"Everything is as ordered, sir."

"Good. Now go fetch Alsonpine and Beowood. I need to chat with them." His boss spoke. His voice was as cold as ice.

"Yes, sir. But I should warn you-"

"SILENCE!" He yelled. The man stopped. He didn't hear his master's words.

"Eternes." He snapped his fingers and spikes flew down, impaling the man. He fell down, dead.

"Pilones."

"Yes, sir!" A man in the corner stood alert.

"Go fetch Alsonpine and Beowood. They have something of utter importance to me."

"Yes, sir!" He left.

He grinned. "THIS time, everything is going according to plan."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Vyse poked the fire. Everyone was asleep, and only he was awake, thinking of the Phoenix, his beloved ship, and of whoever was still on it...

"Vyse."

He jumped. He saw Marco sit down across the fire from him. He looked extremely distraught and old.

"Hey, kid."

"Hey."

"don't worry about her. she'll be fine."

Marco nodded and rolled over, pretending to fall asleep.

Who am I kidding? I just finally saw my sister and she gets taken away from me! Now I'll never see her again.... He thought and thought.

Vyse stared at the slowly rising and falling body and found he was asleep. He stood up and walked away, finding a stick and writing in the sand. He heard Gilder snort, dropped the stick, and ran off.

AN: CLIFFHANGER! I know. I like writing them! ^_^. and....can anyone guess who that mysterious man is? and WHY Vyse is leacing everyone behind? Find out in the NEXT episode of....

Impossible Is Just a Word!
