Me: Soooooo sorry that I've taken soooo long to update... I just had soooo much homework and sooo much studying to do, and the finals all most killed me-

Ivan: Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit. You barely did enough homework to pass, you never study, and you sleep after every final.

Me: You make this sound like a bad thing.

Ivan: It is!

Me: Is not.

Felix: Why not?

Me: Because I never do anything unless it's the last minute.

Piers: That seems kinda... unrealistic. Doesn't that but you behind classes.

Me: Your point is....?

Ivan: Good for you, you belong in hell with the rest of the freaks such as your self.

Me: Ummm... I think you need to check something.

Ivan: What?!

Me: All why friends are freaks, so are you, and with me writing this story it is hell.

Felix, Piers, and Ivan: DAMN!

Me: Heheheheheheh...

I OWN A COMPUTER,

I OWN A WATCH,

I OWN SOCKS WITH CARE BEARS ON THEM,

I OWN MY FINGERNAILS,

I OWN ABOUT 15 PS1 GAMES AND 3 PS2 GAMES,

I OWN THE HAIR ON MY HEAD,

I OWN THE LINT ON MY SHIRT,

BUT I DON'T OWN GOLDEN SUN...

Ivan: I don't think they need to know what weird things you own.

Me: I do know that but I believe that people would enjoy to know what I have.

Felix: Fingernails, hair, lint?

Me: Don't you own those?

Felix:...

Ivan:...

Piers:...

Me: I rest my case! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!

*~ Red wind ~*

Kokoay's eyes widened as she looked at her so-called boyfriend. The time apart didn't do Ivan good. His cloths were cut off and rips on over, and his green overcoat wasn't their anymore. His hair was dull, and looked like it hasn't been washed for about the whole time he was gone... and his eyes were blood red. Not a nice look for someone like him. Piers coughed and opened an eye.

" Ko-kokoay... Wh-ho is thi-is?" Piers whispered. It hurt too much to do anything else. Kokoay looked down and began to heal when the winds cut through her.

"Ahhhh!" Kokoay covered Piers because he didn't need anymore wounds. Poor guy had enough as it is... Must be one of those days...

" Tut, tut, I don't think the blue-haired freak needs to be involved in this... talk we need to have." lets call this Ivan... Yami Ivan, only because I think it'll be cool to call him that. If your going to be a hater then bite your tongue.

" I have nothing to say to you." Kokoay put Piers on her back and ran for it. She threw a match on the flame holder thingy before she bolted, praying that Ivan hadn't gotten faster in the time apart. She was just as fast as Ivan before the Yami took over, but now, she had no clue... Oh, now she did. When you run faster then a deer, thinking that you've gotten away only to see the person you were running away waiting in a doorway farther away from you doing the whole " I can't believe you took that long to get here, because it only took me less then half the time." Yeah, not a nice thing. Kokoay paused, and tried to stop, but crashed into Yami Ivan himself. Y.Ivan grabbed her by the throat and held her up.

*//Great... He's faster AND stronger.//* Kokoay thought to herself.

" And I have better psynergy too." Y.Ivan smirked.

" Damn, forgot about the mind reading..." Kokoay mumbled to herself.

" Heh, I want you to know that... what to call him... 'your' Ivan still is around, and because of him I can't reach my full power... He... still holds on to the belief that your still going to be there for him. Sooo theres only one way to do this..." Y.Ivan pulled out his sword and moved it right next to her neck.

"...Um... I know you really don't like me and want to kill me, but... could you move the sword, your arm is resting in a very... bad place..." Kokoay said with a sigh of fear. Y.Ivan looked down and saw that she was right. He rolled his eyes and shifted the sword so he wasn't resting there. "....Um, thanks..."

" Think of it as you last request..."

" Um, can that be my second to last request?" Kokoay asked. Y.Ivan rolled his eyes again.

" You do know that your killing the tension on this moment. Fine, what your real last request?!" Y.Ivan didn't sound happy.

" Let me take Piers back to the lobby of the towers, if you did it, then you could get him there before the others show up and before you say it, if you do it then you know I can't get away because you'll be coming back so you'll find me..." Kokoay said fast. He narrowed his eyes and grabbed Piers and like, teleoported. Well it wasn't really teleoporting, but you get the idea. Then Kokoay chuckled. It's seems that Ivan forgot about the Venus power 'Retreat'. Heh. " All I gotta do is cast this spell and-" Kokoay stopped as and blade found it's way to her throat again.

" Miss me? Oh and I didn't forget." Y.Ivan laughed an insane laugh as Kokoay's eyes widened with fear.

" Ivan..." Kokoay pleaded.

" Your pleads fall on deaf ears!" Y.Ivans moved and swung. Kokoay ducked and the blade barely swung by.

" Heh, I caused trouble in the doors back in the lobby, it should take awhile for them to help Piers and help you. This is going to be slow and painful.

*~ Lobby ~*

Piers breath deepened in pain. His wounds were killing him, literally. Then her heard banging behind one of the doors.

" What the?! Open you damn door!" Garet's voice shouted.

" I don't yelling at it will open it." Mia's voice said. The Mars door wouldn't open.

" I think I kinda figured that out!" Garet yelled again. Piers saw some kind of seal on the front of the door. He pick himself up, not something easy to do at the moment, and started walking to the door. After about five minutes of leaning and walking, Garet's shout had gotten louder and the other two doors were being banged on too. Piers finally got to the door and grabbed the seal. He didn't have the power to rip it off anymore, but he did have enough to do one thing, passout. He passed to the floor with the seal in his hand. Almost at once Garet and Mia fell through.

" Well, it sure took long-PIERS!!!" Mia yelled as she saw her fellow Mercury adept on the floor, bleeding badly. Mia started casting her spells. " Garet, go and find out why the others can't get through the door." Garet nodded and ran to the next door. He saw the paper and pulled it off. Isaac and Jenna fell through as well. Then he did Sheba and Felix's door. They fell through as well.

" What happened?!" Sheba demanded. Garet looked at Felix and saw lots of bumps on his head.

" I guess that Sheba had her way a lot in the Jupiter tower." Garet stated. Felix sighed. Sheba growled. Not a nice thing to hear from her.

" For some reason the doors didn't open." Isaac stated.

" Duh." Jenna said as she smacked him on the head. Isaac rubbed his head.

" Where's Piers?" Felix asked. Garet lowered his eyes and pointed to the corner where Mia was trying her very best to heal a very beat up and bleeding Piers. All of them ran to Piers as his cuts slowly went away. Piers opened his eyes to see everyone but Kokoay...

" WHERE'S KOKOAY?!" Piers yelled first thing. Everyone took a step back from him as the tried to stand up.

" She isn't here... What happened to you, and why isn't Kokoay with you?" Mia asked as she tried to set him down. Piers wouldn't sit down. He started heading for the Mercury door.

" I got hurt again by some monsters, then we reached the top and had a shout with Sheba, then someone attacked me... it was a boy and he was blond... blood red eyes... and power over the wind..." Mia, Garet, and Isaac eyes widened.

" Ivan..." They all said together. The three of them ran to the fish door. Felix and the others just looked at each other... Then they followed.

*~ Kokoay and the killer wind adept ~*

Kokoay jumped and the blade slashed her leg. If she hadn't have jumped then it would have cut her head off. Y.Ivan jumped the side and attacked again. Kokoay jumped backward and the attack missed again. She sent an earthquake at Ivan, who had no trouble dodging it. Ivan sent some thunder and, unlike an earthquake, it wasn't easy to dodge. Of the 15 bolts that flew at her only five of them hit. Yeah, can you say ' God dammit that hurt!'?

" Heh, ready to die? Your not strong enough to beat me alone... So die!" Y.Ivan prepared for his final attack. Kokoay final saw that she had been backed into a corner.

" Oh shit, I'm going to die... Will.... I'm taking you to! Mad growth!" Kokoay shot vines at Y.Ivan. both attacks struck. Ivan's sword went into her gut and her vines went into Ivan's gut, right arm and left leg. Both people fell to the ground in pain. They both heard voices and footsteps heading this way.

" Heh, it looks like we're going to have company sooner then I thought..." Y.Ivan stood up and tried to get away when he found out that the doorway down was blocked by seven very mad adepts.

" You guys... what took you so long? You missed half the fun..." Blood started dripping from her mouth. Mia tried ran up to her, but Y.Ivan stopped her, his own blood dripping faster.

" Tut, tut. Kokoay and I have some... Unfinished business, so you all need to scat." He could see out of the corner of his eye that Kokoay was trying to slip by. He swung his sword, which she dodged, making it miss her by a hair. Mia gasped as both people began to bleed at a much more intense way. All the boys were pulling out their swords.

" Mia, you Jenna and Sheba need to get to Kokoay. We'll try to keep Ivan busy." Isaac said as he took a step forward.

" But Ivan's bleeding too!" Mia cried. Isaac shook his head.

" He is, but can't you see that the wound is healing on it own?" Mia turned he head and saw that he was right. The wound was slowly closing. Mia nodded and started to head towards Kokoay again. Y.Ivan charged her but was stopped by five boys with swords...Well, more like four and half because Piers isn't really up to a good match at the moment.

" Wellll It looks like I have to take out some trash first... Oh well! You'll all die!" Y.Ivan attack Garet first, knowing that his defense was bound to get in the way. Garet did the best he could to hold him back, but Y.Ivan was backing him into a wall... Sheba saw that Y.Ivan was using impact so she casted a few rounds of that spell on the boys. Jenna casted defence so they could a hit or two. Mia casted ply on Kokoay. Kokoay just couldn't clear her mind because it was Ivan they were fighting...

" ...Ivan..." Kokoay could feel the tears forming in her eyes. Mia knew that she was on the brink of tears. She put her hand on Kokoay's shoulder to let her know that she felt her pain. Her friends were fighting her friend, and she felt bad... but Kokoay? Her friends were fighting her BOYFRIEND! That had to be worse. Mia watched as the boys manged to pin down Y.Ivan to a corner of the room. Y.Ivan's wound may be closed by now, but he still lost a shit load of blood, and couldn't fight to his max. Piers noiced this before the others that took it as a chance to sneak up and hit him hard on the head. This was followed by the normal chorus of winces and 'Owwww's. Ivan was out cold on the floor as everyone grouped up around him to see if he was dead or not.

" Is he dead?" Garet asked blandly. Everyone rolled their eyes.

" Yes Garet, the little pixes of death clamied his life right then and have taken him to the world of the pixes of hell and is now bound to spend his afterlife tending to their every wish." Felix said. This made everyone laugh and Kokoay slightly smile.

" Really? Sucks to be him!" This was followed by the classic anime fall. Isaac walked up to him and checked his pluse. It was there...

" He lives... Come on... Lets tie him up and take him with us..." With that eight pairs of hands wrapped up the boy and started to carry him away...
