Chapter 9- Marine Orb. In Good Hands.

Logan kicked don the door to the lab in the clearing. "Alright, whats going on?" Logan asked as he pulled out his demolition comet. Snow and Maria looked shocked as they all stepped into the small lab, pretty much no one had any space. "You! I thought we told you to keep them out!" Snow yelled at DarkMagician, "Stop yelling Snow. Listen, it's not what you think, I didnt want it because--" "Because it could grant you almighty power!" Vahn interupted Maria. For the next few minutes, no one moved.

"...Listen...I take it you found out about the orb?" asked Maria, "Yes, everything." Mini Bert said. "Hmph, not everything" Snow retorted rudely, "Stop being so rude! Anyway, you don't know everything, I've been studying it here since you left to collect your reward. You see we went waking to a different mountain, when the orb started to glow, we looked behind us, and there was mount blue, we kept walking, it stopped glowing, so we went back to mount blue, when we got to the center of the mountain, the orb was flashing very fast. So we set up a lab. I've been studying it here, and I've found out a couple things, one: The Marine Orb was created in Mount Blue, Two, It was made by Marine, Three, She was one of eight sages at the time, The Sage Of Water, and the orb was used to channel her power." Maria explained.

Mini Bert stood for a minute, then asked "Would there be sages now?" "Yes. And according to the Marine orb, They are all on pioneer 2 or ragol right now..." Maria answered "Oh please, elemental controlling sages? Ppfft, even if they did exsist, they wouldn't be any help." Logan said rudely. "You don't even listen to yourself talk do you?" Vahn asked sarcastically. " Wait..I think I know one.." Giga said very quietly without anyone noticing.

"Anyway, I'll keep the orb here, I have to study it more, see if I can locate the sages." Maria said as the others were walking out the door, "Well, it seems as though we've found something to do!" DarkMagician said enthusiastically. "Ya well, you can do it without me, I don't believe this whole "Sage" thing. I'm leaving" Logan said as he telepiped up to the pioneer two. "Well, we aren't going to find the sages just standing around here." Mini Bert said, "Sages?" asked a voice behind Mini Bert, Mini Bert turned to see a HUmar staring him in the face. "Oh hello Duraku." Mini Bert said as he looked at the hunter, "What's all this about sages?" Duraku asked. Mini Bert spent the next hour explaining to Duraku about the Orb and possibly Sages that they were trying to find, Mini Bert showed no signs of slowing down, "For God sake Mini! Finish! Lets get a mmove on!" Yelled Vahn, "But I'm not--" "Ok Mini Bert, I have an idea, we'll split into teams, I'll go with Mini, Darkmagician will go with Duraku, and Vahn will go with Dale." Giga Bert explained. "Good idea." Duraku quickly replied, eager to stop Mini Bert from talking. "What? Can't I go with Mini? Duraku? Giga? I'd even rather go with DarkMagician! Just please! Don't leave me with this maniac!" Vahn begged, "Ha, no, you guys can search pioneer 2, look for odd hunters who seem to have out of the ordinary qualties or powers." Mini Bert commanded, "Giga and I will Search Gal Da Val, Duraku and DarkMagician can search around here on the surface, and unless you want to go underground with Dale bert, you get to search pioneer 2 Vahn." Mini Bert said laughing to himself, "Mmmmm, fine...." Vahn grumbled, "But you owe me for this Mini Bert!" Vahn yelled as he telepiped back to pioneer 2. "Well, we should get searching, return to pioneer 2 in 3 hours, if you arent there we'll come looking for you." Giga Bert told DarkMagician and Duraku as they walked off.

Mini Bert watched until DarkMagician and Duraku were out of site, and turned to Giga Bert, "So what is it you want to show me Giga?" Giga looked away, then back, "I'm going to take you to get a better weapon, I have a feeling we'll need it." Giga said, "Follow me. Don't ask any questions." Giga said as he turned and walked off, Mini Bert followed.

"Do you think they are going there?" Asked a voice, "I'm not sure, but we can't let them see Rannu, lets follow them in case.." Replied another voice as the two shadows came out of the bush they were hiding in, and ran after , Mini Bert and Giga Bert.
