Disclaimer: Next time someone says 'Use the force', you say 'Screw
the force, who's gotta grenade?' Gotta love that one. And if I didn't
already say this, Sugano is a Lieutenant Connell. I think in chap. 3 he
was just Lieutenant. And, if you think about it, Nede, having advance
technology that we don't come close to having, exited seven hundred million
yeas ago. In Star Ocean, we have space stations n stuff, but nowhere near
Nede's tech. I think. And Expel, well, ooold times. We can think of it
that Nede was born before Earth was even beginning life, and Expel is
learning from Earth, doesn't it seem to have some kinda connection? Nede's
been round for more than seven hundred million years, that's fer sure,
otherwise how'd the get such technology? They couldn't have just been born
with it; they must have started out like Earth did...I just wasted two
minutes of your life...but, from now on, please read these notes, sometimes
it's important.

If you think the first attack on the front was bad, you'll lose all hope when you see this. Last time was like a bunch of five year olds with big genetic blunt objects. This time...uh, it's just really hard. We were asked to be stationed on the ground just in front of the wall. (You know that place were you can get to with the bunny...BUNNY!) Other soldiers are with us, most are going down fast. The monsters attacked early this morning, and we've been fighting ever since. My blade fell onto another beast and killed it. It was just like any other battle. Rena's standing in the back with Leon and Hikeru, sword swingers up front. I looked up at the horizon, seeing nothing but more monsters coming our way. In my eyes, I seem to be doing most of the work. The battle had gone on for almost five hours, and I'm getting exhausted already. If I'm getting tired, just from these five hours, I won't be able to hold out until we're done.
"There's just no end to them." Ryo said as he pulled his saber out of now dead body.
"Maybe we can kill'em before they get here." Ando said.
"How?" I asked.
"I could use a spell, like Noah." Leon said, opening his book. The rest of us looked at each other, then agreed.
"Leon can do it, all by himself." Hikeru said. Leon smirked a bit before holding out his hand. I decided to help him out a little and charge up my best power, the Love element. I held it vertically and concentrated on building up energy. Leon, having near memorized the book, was ready to cast the spell in no time.
"Noah!" He called out as he waved his hand. A large wave appeared further down towards the monsters, as not to hit us. As that was taking place, I decided to try something new. I could combine two of my powers and make it twice as powerful. As I began thinking of two elements, Ryo used a move we had not seen yet.
"Shock Wave!" He called out as he cut through the air once with one saber, sending a blue streak towards a monster which was coming fro the side, and cut through the air again, sending another one towards the mad army in front of us. I had the Love down, now Courage. The monsters where getting closer now...
"...I, feel weird." Hikeru muttered.
"Wha?" Leon asked.
"I feel like, theres, energy, or something in my hands..." Hikeru looked at her hands.
"What?" Ando walked over to her.
"Strange." Ryo said.
"I know-AH!" Hikeru screeched as a small spark shot from her hands.
"What the...?!" Ando mumbled.
"The same thing happened to me when I learned I could cast spells." Leon said. "So maybe you can to."
"Really?!" Hikeru said.
"Yeah, here, try to cast this spell." Leon handed her his book and showed her the incantation for Star Light.
"Ok, I just, hold out my hand right?"
"Yep." Leon showed her, and she began. She muttered to herself, then let loose with a stream of stars falling onto the enemy.
"Whoa, you really can..." Ryo said.
"Wow, I mean, how could I ever do that?"
"Maybe cause you spend a lot of time with me that some of my heraldry's wearing onto you." Leon said. Hikeru laughed slightly.
"Oh no." Ando said, looking at the horizon. What?! I had been listening to them; I didn't realize how great the power was now. I could really hurt myself if this gets any stronger, but...
"Stand back." I told the others. Ando looked at me and went wide-eyed.
"Claude, you're...not, right? I mean, your kidding." Ando said.
"No." I said. I aimed at the left most line of monsters and hoped for the best. A huge blast a red and turquoise blew from my sword, nearly knocking me back. I slowly aimed my sword to the right most line, making sure to hit every beast in between. I was holding out pretty well, until like half of my stamina broke and left me weak, but I held on.
"Claude!" Ryo shouted at me. "Stop or you'll hurt yourself!"
"No...can't." I grunted. I had too much power built up, and it all had to go. Just as the last spurt of energy hit the last monster there, I dropped my sword and fell back. Words couldn't describe how tired I was...and light headed. I was shaking madly from that last blow, and was breathing heavy. The first thing I saw before closing my eyes was Rena. I could barely understand her, what she asked, or said. I was falling in and out of consciousness.
"...rest...be fine." The only words I could understand. I tried to control my breathing a little, but couldn't. Note to self; never think about doing something like that again, till yur ready. I could barely make out shouts from my friends, and foe.
"Fairy Heal..." Slowly, some strength returned to me. I was still unable to fight though. Soon after the spell, I had fallen unconscious...
"Sentro gyron inyt ken?"
Who is that?
"Don't I sound familiar to you?"
...no.
"Really? Well then, I'll get to the point. Do you know what the true purpose of that sword is?"
To, kill Falceon?
"That, and?"
...
"How sad, you don't ever know what it does to its wielder?"
No.
"Think about its name...'Eternal Fate'...what does it sound like it would do to its wielder?"
...eternal fate...something to do with fate.
"Yes, but what kind of fate is given to the soul?"
...an eternal fate...right?
"Yes...your fate, before the sword, was a normal one, but now... now it is eternal, you can't change it..."
...
"I will send you back now...remember, this..."
There was a flash of light and I found myself sitting up and looking out at the line of, no monsters...must have retreated for now. I looked at my hand and thought about that...I now have an eternal fate...I never thought it was possible...then again never thought about it. I took in the scenes around me and found it was shortly past sun set. I looked to my side and saw Rena sitting there, asleep, Ando next to her. The others weren't in sight. Must be inside. I still felt a little dizzy from the blast. I took a deep breath and leaned against the wall, looking at the sky. Large dark clouds were coming in, giving the sky a beautiful shade. The sun setting on one side, clouds coming from the other...reminds me of a time on Earth. The different shades of red and orange where the sun was, the clouds light where the sun could reach. Probably the most beautiful sunset I've ever seen...for a long time. The sun went down and the clouds covered most of the sky. I enjoyed the scene before me, deciding to wait a little before waking the others. A few minutes past by with some birds chirping, or whatever. I looked at the horizon line and...wait, what the.
"What is that?" I said aloud as I saw a dark figure walking this way. It was an outline to me, among the dark clouds making it impossible to see it. It looked like some kind of, raptor, with, armor? I can't tell. I just barley made out its hand being lifted and pointed to the sky. The part of the sky where the sun had set began to turn green. It continued on its way here. The whole sky became green. It walked on. Heat lightning in the distance. Closer still. Lightning touching down to the ground. Now, you could make out the shape of the thing. My heart, my mind was racing. What's happening? Who is that? (The perfect music to go with this is off a CD called Dream and the song is Mysterious Island. I swear, it's like, freaky.) I tried to wake up Rena, never taking my eyes off the thing. It was tall, and I'll change that from a raptor to a cross between human and raptor. It stood like a human, but had huge sharp claws, metal guarding. Its eyes opened, revealing bright glowing blood red eyes. Now I'm really getting freaked out. I heard a low growl and the next thing I know, I was in mid air, traveling to the ground. I hit the ground, headfirst and landed on my back. I sat up and looked at the thing, looking back at me. Now the air was green, like rain was coming or something. The thing kicked me in the stomach and I flew backwards, shouting as I hit the ground. That woke up Rena and Ando, confusing them with the scene before their eyes. The thing was a blur, left and right. It hit me across the face. I felt blood all over one side of my face. This thing had a hard hit. Then I was in the air once more and looking into the eyes of my, as may logically be expected, my foe. Ando drew his sword and Rena looked worried. Just as was about to be hit in the face, Ando cut me loose, and I fell. The thing didn't look harmed, just really pissed off.
"Kinoy makan, den kah trik Falceon." It said. What? Before anything more happened, it ran off at an incredible speed, leaving ice behind it where its feet touched. I panted heavily, watching the thing run away.
"What was that?" Ando asked, standing by me.
"Dunno." I gasped. Rena looked at me and must have seen my face, cause she ran over.
"What happened?" She asked, helping me stand up straight.
"That, thing." I panted. "Hit me." I felt so weak I could hardly speak.
"We'd better get back. Looks like a storm's coming." Ando said.
"...wait, a second." I said quietly. The sky was no longer green, it was...normal. I didn't understand. Did that thing have some kind of power, or what? As we were walking back, the image entered my head. Those blood red eyes...something about them...like Falceon, or something. I'm not sure what all of this means, but can say one thing.
The end, won't be easy.

Divine Soul: Who should tell the next chapter? Front line? Or Lacour? I'm thinking of doing it here again, cause this is gonna be kina long, with the battling.
