Me: I write 2 chapters in one day. Aww. I feel the creative juices flowing. I need to stress the fact that this is my first fan-fic for new readers. I also need to stress that I don't own Golden Sun and any of the characters from it. I do own the plot ant the extra lighthouses. Correct if I'm wrong, I think I invented the idea of the extra elemental stars other than Sol and Luna. Enjoy this chapter. I had a lot of fun writing it.

"Surprised to see me?" The blue-haired scary looking water adept appeared. He had a huge evil grin in his face. Felix was first to say,
" Where's Sheba, you bastard?" Alex chuckled,
" We shouldn't call each other names. If you must know where Sheba, just look with your own eyes." Alex pointed to the direction of the beacon. Sheba feet were frozen solid to the ground of where she stood. Her hands were tied up and there was a gag to her mouth. Alex jumped towards Sheba and held his Luna scimitar towards Sheba's neck. Sheba eyes widened in fear. She tried to break free but the ropes and ice were too strong to break free. Felix couldn't bear watching his loved one suffer. Rage was building in his body. Fire kindled his spirits and his psynergy was brimming. To Alex's surprise, Felix charged forward with his Excalibur raised up high. Alex tried to counter with ice missile. Shards of ice appeared and were propelled forward by psynergy. The ice missile missed because Felix dodged just in the nick of time and landed a blow to Alex's arm. Alex's arm was cut and it fell to the ground. Alex's wound didn't bleed but it started to mend. Alex's original arm vanished into dust. A new arm had grown out of the socket. Everybody was shocked by Alex's power. Alex took the element of surprise and took out his other scimitar. He knocked Felix's Excalibur down to the ground and kicked him across the floor. He landed an ice missile towards Felix's gut. The ice pierced Felix's stomach and Felix immediately fell down and grabbed his stomach in agony. Sheba screamed but not much of a sound came out because of the gag. Alex said,
" Such an idiot, Felix. I wasn't here to kill you today. You forced my hand." Isaac rhetorically asked,
" Who are you going to kill today? I'm you main man not Felix. Let Sheba go because she has nothing to do with me." Alex still chuckled,
" No can do Isaac. Don't you realize? Sheba is my hostage. Villians never release their hostages not until their goals are completed. She ensures my success here and the later lighthouses." Isaac sheathed his Sol blade. Alex said,
" I would stay back if I were you. If you take any steps forward, Sheba's death will be on your account." Isacc let out a sigh. He knew he couldn't risk Sheba's life just to stop Alex. Isaac lowered his blade. Alex took advantage of the momentary ceasefire. He mockingly said,
" Who's a good boy? Yes you are." Alex took out a black-coated star and held it to the air. Garet instinctively cast liquefier. Flames surrounded Alex. The temperature rose rapidly and it scarred Alex's pale skin. This didn't faze Alex. He even didn't blink and threw the star casually into the beacon. Isaac charged forward to grab the star before it landed. His fingers were just inches away from the elemental star. The black ball landed into the beacon. A sphere of black energy appeared in the lit beacon. Alex snickered,
" You're such an idiot, Isaac. I wouldn't have killed Sheba even if you tried to kill me. Good guys always have moral values. I'm not a bad person. I'm just a person who is dogged towards one goal and none of you are going to stop me." Garet yelled,
" Oh yeah! Who says?" Jenna chimed in.
" Your values have always been perverted. You manipulated many people to get your selfish goal." Ivan then snapped, " There is no honor in using other people to achieve your goal. Your actions are repulsive." Mia continued,
" I can't believe I'm in the same clan as you, Alex. You use to be one with a big heart. What has changed you?" During this ceasefire, Isaac used potent cure on Felix's wound. Felix began to recover and slowly stood. Alex was really hurt by their comments especially Mia's. He sternly answered,
" I reiterate the fact that I'm not the same Alex anymore. I studied true Alchemy and I crave for this infinite power. With this infinite power, I can make this world a better place."
Felix sneaked behind Alex and tried to untie the ropes binding Sheba. Alex noticed this and cast diamond berg on Felix. A huge glacier of ice surrounded Felix. Felix just finished untying Sheba's hands. Sheba immediately cast cyclone in between the glacier. The glacier got diced into small little pieces. Alex was infuriated by the sneakiness of Felix. To prevent an assault from all sides, Alex cast a torrential wave of water he called Tsunami (new psynergy). A huge wave appeared out of nowhere. The wave engulfed Garet, Jenna, Ivan, and Mia. They fell not knowing what hit them. The wave koed them in one fell swoop. Felix found his abandoned Excalibur and stabbed Alex in the stomach. Alex managed to say,
" What have you learned Felix? Nothing, I suppose. What does unlimited power mean to you?" Alex grabbed the sword and pulled it out like it came out of butter. The wound healed immediately. Alex used his other free hand with his scimitar and slashed at Felix. Felix dodged to prevent vital areas from being cut but his arm was caught in the slash. Alex kicked Felix out of his way. Isaac stood there stunned; He didn't take any action during this ordeal. Alex's eyes focused on Isaac and he said,
"I knew you wouldn't act. You possess great power but don't have the confidence to use it. I can sense the fear in your. The great Isaac isn't uber-powerful anymore. He is just a chicken not knowing what he is in for." This pissed Isaac so much that he shouted,
" Enough! Your crimes shall be undone. I will defeat you by any means necessary." Alex inquired,
" Any means? You're in no condition to fight me. The more time you stay up here, the weaker you will get. Haven't you noticed the lighthouse's power tipped the odds against you?" Isaac replied,
" I've noticed but that doesn't give me excuse to back down." Isaac readied his Sol blade in fighting stance. Alex said,
" So be it!" Alex took out 2 scimitars and put it in an x-defensive position. Isaac knew Alex was expecting an offensive attack. To make it a fair match, he needed another sword. Felix's Excalibur was the closest to him but it would need slick maneuvering to reach the sword. Isaac departed and made a straight dash towards the sword. Alex noticing Isaac's plan cast a stream of water to push Isaac away from the sword. Isaac jumped and dived towards the ground narrowly missing the water and grabbed Excalibur in his left hand. Alex commended,
" Impressive acrobatic skills! Yet, these skills won't save you." Alex proceeded forward and started slashing with great precision at Isaac's vulnerable spots. Isaac took the defensive by parrying most of Alex's offensive moves. Alex got mad and slashed Isaac in a circular pattern. Isaac never practiced being on the defensive. He quickly faltered towards Alex's accurate attacks. Isaac jumped above Alex's head. Isaac slammed his foot on Alex's head. Isaac took the offensive. They exchanged blows for about 30 minutes. Isaac and Alex went into a sword deadlock. They pushed away from each other. Isaac stood their gasping for air. The light of beacon made fighting difficult. Alex on the other hand didn't feel any fatigue. He said,
" I see the death embracing you! Rising dragon!" A water dragon head engulfed Isaac's body and carried him towards the sky. The dragon dived back down carrying Isaac with it. Isaac was pounded towards the ground. The hard rock cracked most of his bones. Isaac's psynergy was tapped. He couldn't mend his bones. Alex pointed his weapon to Isaac's neck. He menacingly said,
" You've never had a chance Isaac. Prepare to die!"
" Not so fast, Alex. We have a score to settle."

Me: I'm getting good at writing these cliffhangers. Care to take a guess of who they are? Dollars to donuts, you could guess them quite easily. I like to point out that most chapters in Fan Fiction, are between 900 to 4000 words long. Mine is on average 1500 words. I don't like writing long chapters because it seems to long. I like chapters where it expresses one core idea in the plot and prepares for the readers for the next chapter. If you have any inputs, I would like to hear it. Thank you!
