Golden Sun: The Alchemy Wars
Chapter III: Tragedy
At dawn the next morning, the guards reported sightings of a massive army in the distance.
The militia was rallied, and everyone given a sword and shield.
Garet put on his Cleric's Ring, grabbed his Fear Helm, Xylion Armor, Terra Shield, and of course, his signature Dark Sword. The girls grabbed their respective weapons, along with Ivan and Felix, who picked up their swords, the Tisiphone Edge, and the mighty Excalibur. Felix wondered what had happened to Piers' Excalibur that had been made years ago.
Lastly came Isaac, Sol Blade in one hand, Cosmos Shield in the other, outfitted in his Hyper Boots, Gloria Helm, and Xylion Armor. The seven companions marched out to the middle ranks of the army, and divided into regiments.
Garet and Mia were to take one regiment, Ivan and Sheba another, Felix could handle one on his own, and Isaac would assist Jenna's regiment, and keep an eye on her.
Soon a massive amount of blue-haired warriors crossed the hill, and at the sight of the army, they charged in rage, giving their battle cry. Ivan's regiment and Garet's regiment went out to meet them, and then all hell broke loose.
There were shafts of water and flying ice everywhere. Some militia men had to duck behind their shields as torrent upon torrent of ice shafts shattered against them. Quite a few went down in a massive deluge, and a few fell prey to Diamond Dust.
But then enormous plasma bolts began raining down upon the Lemurian army, and earthquakes broiled across the landscape. Serpent Fumes were sprouting up all over the place, and searching out their targets.
And in the middle of it all was Garet, cutting down foe after foe, casting Pyroclasm, blasting another ten Lemurians into ashes. Following close behind was Mia, healing him when the rare strike made it past Garet's defenses.
Joining Garet was Ivan, with mighty Spark Plasma storms jolting up to twenty Lemurians at a time, while Sheba cast protective Psynergy barriers on all nearby soldiers.
As Garet cut a bloody swath through the ranks of the enemy, he began to get farther and farther from his regiment, and Mia was cut off from him. Isaac saw this, and realized that soon, Garet would be surrounded and up against impossible numbers.
Isaac's regiment moved forward in a rescue maneuver, cutting as quickly as they could toward Garet. Several Lemurians jumped in their way.
"You think you can stop me!? Grand Gaia!!" yelled Isaac. The Lemurians quickly retreated.
Jenna followed close behind. "Dragon Fume!!"
Lemurians sprung out of the way of the giant flame dragon as it made its way toward its target. When they reached Garet they saw how desperate the battle was becoming. He was being pounded with Diamond Dusts, and it looked like his armor might not hold up to much longer.
"ACHERON'S GRIEF!!!" Garet cried, and a giant sword cut yet another swath through the attacker's ranks.
However, just then came another cry, "DIAMOND BERG!" Garet stumbled forward, the force of the blow on his back being to much for even him to stand.
Jenna saw the final blow coming, the Lieutenant leapt forward, holding his sword above his head, ready to bring it down upon the back of Garet's head.
It was too late for anything else, Jenna threw her self forward, intending to take the blow for Garet. It would skewer her, but it was a small price to pay.
"I guess I am going to die after all. . ." thought Jenna. But at the last possible second am incredibly loud shout reached her ears.
"ODYSSEY!!!" The very Lieutenant who was preparing to skewer her was suddenly speared by three swords.
"Uhh. . ." the man breathed, dropping to the ground, where he breathed no more. Isaac and Jenna held the mob at bay for a few seconds, enough time for Mia's regiment to once again catch up with them.
"Garet! Hang on!" cried Mia as she raced across the battlefield. Quickly healing Garet, she was relieved to see the color return to his cheeks, and his eyes open again.
With Garet back, they quickly joined up with Felix's regiment, and held back the Lemurian Army. The battle was a victory. At the end of the day, Vale still stood.
At midnight, Jenna got up, unable to sleep. She was so excited, everyone was convinced that they had saved her from her death.
She had not been killed by the Lieutenant's mad attack. Hearing noises from outside, she saw two blue-haired thieves making their way towards the temple.
"Probably think there is treasure in there" she muttered. "I'll just have to dispose of them myself."
Perhaps because she was so sure of herself after the day's battle, she went alone. She entered the temple, and went to the very spot where the peak had once been. There she confronted three men, all clouded in shadow.
"Wait, three, but there were only two, right? Whatever, one more doesn't matter."
Back in Garet's house, Sheba and Ivan awoke screaming.
In the temple, Jenna Dragon Fumed the two men on the outside as they rushed, leaving only ashes.
"Good indeed dear, you've grown strong, but not strong enough" came a familiar voice. "Luna Blade, DEATH'S EMBRACE!"
By the time Isaac and Co. arrived, Jenna was lying dead on the floor.
