Karana Belle: Okay! Another chapter to write! I just love to write stories! Thanks to all the reviewers:

pnaixsrose—sounds interesting? Thanks!

Zandra—thank you for telling me what his grandmother's name is! I honestly didn't know! You think it's a great story? I am so happy!

Hana no Kaze—I never really thought of Gallows as stupid either because of what I remember him saying in the game, a lot. He is actually pretty smart! Wow! I don't think anyone has ever said my story kicked butt! Thank you!

JayJay-Sawada—and here someone says it's sweet! I think I'm going to cry for joy!

Teefa85—a new mission...hmmm...Good Idea! I wasn't even thinking about that! I guess I will have to think about it! Maybe someone will die? Just kidding the only person that might die that isn't evil would probably be...what was the grandmother's name...oh, Halle, because she is old.

Karana: and as promised a cookie for everyone! * Hands out cookie * and now onto the show...ummmm.... story!

Journey's End

Chapter Two

Gallows' grandmother, Halle stood up on a chair, the better to see everyone. And everyone comes in closer to hear Halle; they don't want to miss anything. Clearing her throat, Halle captures the attention of EVERYONE.

"As we know we are having a party. And it just so happens that it is the 5-year anniversary of the saving of Filigia." Many people cheered and when they calmed down Halle continued, "and aren't we lucky to have ALL the people here that were in the main group to save Filigia. But we shouldn't forget the people that helped them on their way. The Schroedingers," More cheering.

"And Virginia's father. So let's continue partying for another hour, but after that I'm making you all go to bed!" As Halle climbed off the chair everyone went back to talking, and when the music started up again, dancing.

Virginia, tired and flustered, went to the house she was staying in to sleep. But too bad no one noticed the shadow that didn't belong to anyone that lived in the town, or to anyone friendly.

As Virginia walked towards her bed she saw a drink on the nightstand. 'Wow! Someone must have really known that I needed a drink!' so being the unsuspecting girl she was she drank it all down. And as she set the cup down she wobbled and fell onto the bed, out cold in a deep sleep that will hopefully not be filled with nightmares.

^^^^^^^^^^

Jet looked around the area where everyone was, feeling as if something bad was going to happen. Suddenly he noticed something, Virginia was nowhere to be seen! He jumped up quickly and runs toward Gallows, who at that moment is looking about as if looking for something, a pained expression on his face.

"Gallows! Where is Virginia?" Jet hurriedly asked afraid that something was going to happen to the girl.

"You mean she's not with you?" Gallows looked around the group of people once more. Jet just shook his head. "Well, I think I know what house she is staying in so come on. Wait, just a second...CLIVE!!!" Everyone stopped talking immediately as Clive made his way towards the guys.

"What is it?" Clive looked from one pained expression to the next. Then looked around again like the others, "Hey, where's Virginia?"

All at once Gallows ran to the house where Virginia went in. Jet and Clive followed closely. They ran in to see a shadowed figure with a burlap sack slung over its shoulder.

"You!" Jet spat out, at once knowing who it was, "Janus!" Both Gallows and Clive started, thinking that he was dead.

"So... haha...you found out. I was really hoping that I would have been able to get away with the princess before you guys grew aware of my presence." Janus' red eyes glinted.

"How did you come back to life?" Jet asked very confused, he could have sworn that he saw him die.

"Wait. Are you saying that you got away at just the right time? Making it look like you died, but you didn't?" Gallows was beginning to see it, if however vaguely.

"And once again you are correct. Now if you will excuse me, I have to going with my cargo." Janus made as if to leave, but Jet yelled,

"You are not leaving with Virginia!" Jet had his Airget-lamh B/V2 out and cocked. Gallows and Clive pulled out their own guns, all three of them aiming them at Janus.

Janus started laughing, "You think THAT will beat me? You're pathetic." Then Janus shot fire at all three of them. Gallows quickly froze it with his tool, but not fast enough. They could hear Janus laughing as he made his way to where ever with their precious leader, Virginia.

Jet sank to his knees. Not caring if it would deflate his ego. For he had, for the first time, not been able to protect Virginia.

Karana: okay! So there is some action! I'm not very good with action but this is also my first try! REVIEW PLEASE!
