~*~Claude~*~

Everywhere I looked, darkness, like an endless scream of terror. I heard voices. I looked everywhere to see where they were coming from. I saw a figure looked like it had a bright light behind them. They were staring at me. I stared back. There was silence; silence not a soul could stand. Suddenly without warning the figure began to speed toward me with others just like it. I braced myself if any of them collided with me, but none did. They went around, above, below me. They were saying something each time they pasted. I couldn't understand them because they said it so fast. After moments past all of the figures were gone. I once again saw darkness, but not for long. A second went by and I saw another figure, but this one was tall. It looked like an angle with angelic wings.

"I see a misfortune has befallen you." It said. "I shall help you recover."

"Wait!" I said. "Who are you?"

"Who am I? That I cannot tell you. But I will tell you that Falceon is my foe as well. We are on your side. Once you call upon me, I, as well as the others, will aid you to create a powerful force. Only then can Falceon be defeated." The angle said. There was a bright light and I felt my body lighten, for I was completely healed. I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the classroom floor. Sugano was still lying unconscious a few feet from me. I heard a bang and looked at the door. It was Ando who was trying it bust down the door. I stood up and walked to the door. Ando looked at me and pointed toward the doorknob. I unlocked it and Ando came in. He saw Sugano walked over to him. He checked his pulse and looked at me.

"What happened?" He asked. I took a deep breath and let it out slowly.

"Falceon." I said. He looked back at Sugano who was coming around. He slowly opened his eyes. Ando helped him up and we all walked back to the inn. Sugano said where he was when he got possessed and how it might of happened. As we walked into our room in the inn, Leon and Hikeru came running in.

"Dias said to get our things together so we can leave." Leon said with Hikeru behind him.

"Alright. Tell him we'll be there soon." I said.

"Kay." Leon said as Hikeru pulled on his arm for them to leave. They left and we began to get our stuff together. Once that was done we headed for the gate. Everyone else was waiting. We headed for Hilton so we could get to the cave. I explained what happened in the classroom. Sugano didn't see anything like I did. I told them what I saw and they were interested. Rena was listing intently, Ando found it amusing, Sugano thought it was another trick of Falceon's. Leon and Hikeru didn't listen to a bloody thing. They were to busy talking about 'impressive' things. Dias, distant as usual, that is until after the explanation though, he looked at me.

"I expected something like that to happen." He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Do you know who that was?" He asked me. I shook my head. "That was Tria." I stared. Rena looked at me, amazed, Ando looked at Dias then me.

"You mean, our Tria? Expel's Tria?" Rena asked Dias.

"Yes." He replied looking ahead. "Looks like we have company." He said as he drew his sword. I looked that way and saw several monsters heading our way. Ando and Sugano took their posses, Leon stepped back one and charged a spell with Hikeru behind him, Rena and Noel back by Leon and Hikeru. I pulled my sword out at the same time Ashton did. We looked at each other and nodded. This was our little battle plan. The heard of monsters included a harifainx, two green lizards, and a weird david (now known as Kazima. You know those birds that know master attack; this one is in the survival battle) Lethal combination. The fighters charged in but Ashton who held out his swords.

"Oh the almighty Tria!" He shouted as his dragons began to fuse with his sword. "Overthrow all the enemy!" He threw his new sword into the ground and lights went all over the battlefield. The monsters were dazed before attacking again. Soon the only sounds heard could be swords clanging, spells being casted, or cries of pain.

"Hawk Scream Blast!"

"Raging Flames!"

"Disruptor!"

"Mirror Slice!"

"Sword Dance!"

"Foehn!"

"Deep Freeze!"

We were getting nowhere fast. Ando was getting tiered, Ashton didn't have enough energy left to fight, Sugano was down, Dias was struggling when using special moves. The last thing I could do was using my special move. I ran right through the pack, chanting along the way.

"Spirit of Damion, lend me your strength." I saw my sword glow turquoise before aiming it at the monsters. A bright blast erupted from my sword, and hitting the Kazima first. The blast was larger than usual and it hit every enemy. I began to fell my energy slip with every second. It got to the point to where I couldn't stand up and I sank to my knees. The battle was over, finally. Ando sighed, relieved, Rena ran toward me, Sugano recovered strength as Noel healed him. Rena healed me and helped me up. I was still weak after the fight. Dias walked over to me.

"I see you have discovered the next element." He said. "This one had more of an effect on you, why is that?"

"Maybe cause its courage? Bravery stuff, you know." I said. Dias nodded and looked ahead.

"You'll need every element to defeat Falceon, including the last and final one."

"I know, its just one element." I said.

"Actually Claude, there is two more." Dias said. I looked at him.

"What?" I asked.

"There's two." H said again.

"I though, there was just one more left." I said.

"I'm afraid we can't help you when you find the final element, if we do, Falceon's reign of terror will repeat in history as long as time goes on." He began to walk toward Hilton along with Ashton, Noel, Leon, Hikeru and Sugano. Ando looked at us and we followed, but not before Rena healed me again. We walked toward Hilton without running into any more battles along the way, thank god. We arrived there when the sun was setting. We walked to the inn and checked out three rooms. Me, Rena, Ando and Sugano were in one, while Leon, Hikeru and Noel were in another. You can figure out the rest. I collapsed on my bed, as I was exhausted. Ando sat down on his bed and sighed.

"The monsters just keep getting stronger." He said.

"I know." I said. "Hopefully those weapons will help out."

"They will, a little." Sugano said as Rena sat next to me.

"Ando." She said. He turned to face her. "Exactly how strong is Falceon?"

"Well, that shadow that attacked wasn't even a fraction of his power." He said. I stared at the ceiling. That first fight was plenty hard, but that wasn't close to his max power. Sugano looked out the window. Somehow, he reminded me of Dias. He was usually distant. The way he stands there and stares almost makes you think he despises everyone and everything. Ando took his sword off his back and lied down, waiting for sleep. Sugano did the same. Rena stood up and walked over to her bed, smiling at me slightly, I smiled back. She lied down and closed her eyes. I, however, did not go to sleep yet. I sighed and looked out the window. The moon lit up the entire port. It reminded me of the night I went out there once, during the investigation. It was then that it hit me. Has there ever been a time where we could relax and have nothing to worry about? I couldn't think of any. Hmm, I wonder why that is. NOT! I forced a small laugh at the joke I had just made. Come to think of it, we hadn't really laughed in a long time. The last time I could think of was a time in Clik when Ketil picked out an outfit for Celine. I laughed for ages at that one. The more I thought about it, the funnier it became. I then began to slowly close my eyes, hoping for sleep to come soon.

Divine Soul: My, my-this chapter was shorter than the rest. Oh well, sneak preview time!

Preview.

We ran up the marble staircase, getting desperate with each second. We have been searching for nearly an hour, and still no Falceon. If we don't find him soon, everything that we know will be torn to shreds. I shuddered at the thought and ran even faster. Soon we came to two huge doors that had writings on it. Ando pushed at it, but it didn't budge. I pushed with him, but no avail. I charged at it and the doors burst open. I looked around in aw at the seen. It was like a huge platform floating in space. It was amazing, that is until I looked strait ahead and saw Falceon sitting in a chair.

"It's about time you came, I thought you wouldn't show up for the party." He said. We all walked forward until we were completely on the platform. As soon as we stopped the doors behind us slammed shut. We all spun around as the sound echoed through out the darkness. I looked back at Falceon, more determined than ever to rip him off this painting of Expel.

"What do you want with us?!" I shouted as Ando and Sugano lined with me.

"It's not what I want with you, but what I want with her." As Falceon said the last word it echoed and he disappeared. I ran forward some with Ando and Sugano. We looked around the platform for any sign of him. I heard Rena scream and whipped around. Falceon was right in front of her!

"Leave her alone!!" I called out as I cut Falceon's arm. He disappeared as he screeched in pain. Rena threw her arms around me and I held her close, sword in hand. Falceon repapered in front of the chair, scythe in hand.

"Do you think you can beat me?" He said hatefully. "Well let's find out, shall we?" I let go of Rena and walked in front of everyone else.

"Falceon. You can do whatever you want to me, but you will never harm my friends or Expel and have me sit by and watch." I shouted at him. "If you're wondering who your down fall is, you're looking at him." Falceon stared, lost for words. I could fell my friends eyes on my, amazed. Falceon gave me a look of pure anger and he snapped his fingers. At once, Ando was picked up and moved to a cell in the wall, as well as Sugano and Rena. I looked at them, then looked back at Falceon.

"You think you're my down fall?" He tightened his grip on his scythe. "Then prove it, prove it that you can kill me." I charged at him and did Headsplitter. I missed and Falceon cut my leg. The pain was incredible. I cried out and dropped my sword. He slashed at me again, cutting my arm. Already the pain was nearly blinding me. He cut my other arm then my face. I flew backwards, hitting the ground hard.

"Claude!" Rena shouted. I could barely hear her. Falceon raised his scythe and cut a deep gash in my chest as I tried to stand up. I went flying backwards once again rolling across the floor. This scene was familiar. It was just like my dream, except the pain was five times worse. It was bad enough in my dream. Falceon walked over to me and grabbed me by the neck, choking me in the air. My friends watched helplessly from their prison.

"You pathetic piece of trash." He said raising his scythe. "I am afraid you have it backwards, my friend." He moved his face closer to mine "I, am your, down fall." He shoved his scythe through my chest.

"CLAUDE!!" Rena shouted as she tried to wrench the door off. Falceon slowly and painfully pulled his lethal weapon out and dropped me. I hit the ground, rolling onto my side. Falceon laughed madly as his voice rang through the area. My body felt num and dead. My friends were released from their prison and ran toward me. Rena fell to he knees and held me.

"Claude, please don't die." She said nearly in tears.

"I...can't, hold on, Rena." I said weakly. "It's, just to much."

"No, you can make it." She said, tears now flowing from her eyes.

"I didn't think Falceon would do this." Ando said.

"We have to find some help." Sugano said. I grunted in pain and began to unwillingly close my eyes.

"Claude, no." Rena said as she began to try and heal me, but failed. Everything began to get blurry and I could hardly hear. "No, Claude, you promised me, you promised." She said through her tears.

"Rena...I..." I saw nothing but blackness. I could hear Rena calling me, and then it died off. Nothing all around me. I couldn't move, breath, think.

For I was dead.

Divine Soul: Neat huh? This is part of the end, so if you want me to arrange it some, tell me.
