Ame: Last chapter of Part I!!! YAY!!!!!!! I like this one though...
Alex: and once more, she does not own me nor the rest of Golden Sun.
Ame: When life gives you lemons, squirt 'em in life's eyes! That joke is so old it's... not funny! Yay!
Alex: ...
Ame: stop talking like Isaac! Did you know Isaac's first word is Mia?
Alex: You've already pointed that out, I believe.
Ame: oh, oops... n_n;;;
- - Nothing's wrong, just as long as
you know that someday I will.
Someday, somehow
I'm gonna make it all right but not right now
I know you're wondering when.
(You're the only one who knows that)

I know you're wondering when.
He grasped the rocks tight. With every step his heart ached more. He'd come this far and couldn't give up, no matter what. She couldn't stop him. Nothing could.
She couldn't help him either.
He wasn't a little kid anymore, he wasn't her little brother. No, he was grown. Growth takes change. We was a different person and it was her fault. Hers and all of her little friend's. It was them, those outsiders that had killed his parents. She was finally seeing things though his eyes though. Little did she know she was doing this all for him...
"Betrayers, you have arrived!" the voice shook the lighthouse as they reached the summit.
"Who said that!?" Garet looked around in confusion.
"The wind's too strong! I can't see anything!" Mia clung to his back.
"I heard it too, but I don't see anyone else up here!" Sheba complained.
"Felix! Quick! Cast the mars star in before anything has a chance to stop us!"
Felix nodded, running up to the pit. Just then, he shivered uncontrollably, stepping back slowly.
"So, you are still intent on lighting the beacon of Mars lighthouse?" The voice boomed.
"Who said that!" Isaac stepped forward bravely.
"Have you forgotten me so soon, Isaac? And you Garet?"
"It seems to know you, Isaac..." Ivan's voice shook. "Do you have any idea who it is?"
Isaac and Garet both shook their heads.
"Then search your heart, boy!" The voice boomed again.
"That voice..." Kraden jumped.
"It's... it's the wise one!" Garet shouted, choking on his own words.
"Isaac, since when are you on a first name basis with the Wise One?" Kraden asked.
"It must have been... Isaac, What happened in Sol Sanctum after we were kidnapped?
"When Saturos and Menardi stole the elemental stars, they also triggered a volcanic eruption. The wise one prevented Mt.Aleph from erupting so that Garet and I could escape."
"But... wait, Mt. Aleph DID erupt! There was a huge explosion! We saw it all the way in Vault!"
"But it would have erupted with us still inside... there was no way we could have escaped in time."
"The Wise One held off the eruption until we could escape... he even halted the lava flow."
"I can't believe it... nobody has enough power to do that..." Mia gawked.
"I know it sounds weird, but I was there, and it happened, so you'll just have to believe us!" Garet reassured her.
"If it can do all that, this wise one seems more like a god than an Adept."
"I did not just save you. I also tasked you with recovering the four elemental stars. Why have you disobeyed my command? Why have you come here to light the beacon?"
"Because Prox will be destroyed if we don't! We can't let that happen..." Jenna stood up for her friends.
"Prox? They have brought this disaster upon themselves."
"Are you saying we should just abandon them to die? What did they do to deserve that!?" Sheba yelled.
"The people of Prox have committed an unforgivable sin. They must pay the price."
Unforgivable sin... this is my price to pay...- Mia's thoughts wandered in and out.
"For lighting the lighthouses? Is that their sin? Does that warrant total destruction?" Isaac refused to give up.
"If we don't light the beacon, Gaia falls will eventually erode away all of Weyard!" Mia felt as if Alex was standing next to her and they were fighting together. They had the same cause... Why couldn't they fight the same fights?
"We have fought for so long to save all the people of our world, and now you would stop us?" Piers crossed his arms.
Sheba jumped up, angry. "Gaia falls is growing. It's consuming more and more with each day!"
"How can you just allow the world to crumble into nothingness?" The two friends stood up for each other.
"The seal needs to be broken! The world will be destroyed if it's not!"
The wise one glanced around nervously. "You have learned far too much."
"Wise one! You can't continue to protect the lighthouses! You know what's happening!" Kraden yelled. "It is your duty to protect all of Weyard! If Weyard is destroyed, you will have failed us all!"
"..."
"Why won't you answer us, Wise One?" Jenna questioned the awkward silence he left.
"If alchemy is unleashed, mankind will destroy all of Weyard itself.
"But we can combine our strengths, ensure that Alchemy not be used for evil..." Kraden grew impatient.
"It is inevitable. In time, one man will seek to rule over all. It is human nature, in escapable." His eyes grew and closed. "And it will come sooner than any of you think."
"Who do you say that?" The old man asked.
"The water adept who climbs to the peak of Mt. Aleph even as we speak..." Mia froze at those words, not even breathing. "Is he not a friend of yours?"
Don't say it, great Wise One... please don't say-
"Alex is his name. Surely, you have not forgotten him?"
"Alex!? What would he be doing on Mt. Aleph?" Jenna spoke.
"He understands far more than you do. He knows that when the four lighthouses have been lit... Their light will gather at Sol Sanctum."
"But what would he gain from being there?" Kraden asked.
"When the final beam of light reaches the peak of Mt. Aleph, the Golden Sun shall rise."
"Golden Sun!? What is that? And what would Alex want with it?"
The Wise One glanced each way, north south east and west. "When the four beams merge into one, they form a golden light, bathing Mt. Aleph's peak,"
"Is... Is that Alchemy? I mean, pure Alchemy made real at the heart of its power?" Ivan's face squinted.
"And it's that light that gives shape to the stone of sages?" Kraden continued.
"This has been Alex's one true desire from the very start." The Wise One answered.
"Alex planned all of this? Then he must have been after this power all along!" Shouted the Lemurian.
"We've been duped! He used us all! Oh, you better believe he's not getting away with this!" Garet knew what this news would do to Mia... knowing only to an extent.
"Alex... How could he do this? He's... He's one of my own people! I feel sick... disgusted..." If I can even call him one of my people... that sounds bad enough without saying he's my brother! Mia cried.
"None of that matters right now. We still have to light the beacon. We don't have any choice. If we don't do it now, Prox will be destroyed! Felix... We have to, right?"
Felix nodded in agreement with his childhood friend. That was just something they had to do...
"You bet we do! The wise one will have to deal with Alex on his own." Sheba cheered.
"I cannot interfere in the actions of mankind."
Jenna looked at Sheba's disappointed face and shouted back to the Wise One. "If you can't interfere, then how about getting out of our way so we can light the beacon, huh?"
Everyone was silent for three seconds (I counted, with a clock) until finally, Ivan spoke up. "Oooo... Good one, Jenna!"
"I don't like doing exactly what Alex wants, but it's looking like we've got no choice." Garet agreed.
"Don't worry, Felix! Just throw the Mars star into the beacon's well! Now!" Isaac demanded.
The wise one blocked the path.
"Wise One! Didn't you just say that you aren't allowed to interfere with our actions?" Piers tapped his foot impatiently.
"That is correct. I cannot stop you. But... what if some mirical were to occur, one that prevented you from igniting the beacon?"
"Miracle? What are you talking about? What kind of Miracle?"
"If you can defeat a miracle," an animal was heard screeching in the distance, "only then can you ignite the beacon's flame."
"The wise one is up to something! Be wary, everyone! We don't know what he's capable of!" Kraden spoke soon enough. Just a moment after, a giant beast dropped in not four feet from the group. It's body was large and it had wings that spanned the aerie. It's pointed ears made it look like an incredibly ugly bat... with three heads.
"A three headed dragon? THAT'S your miracle?" Sheba shuttered.
"So you would have us fight for our future? Fine, then fight we shall!"
"What's he thinking? We already beat a two-headed dragon. How much tougher can this one be?" Garet laughed.
"I don't care how many heads it has. Nothing's going to stop us now!" Mia now hungered for revenge.
"Let's do it! For Prox! For the future of Weyard!" Ivan cheered, before running into the fray.
"Wait a second..." Kraden stayed back. "Wasn't that two-headed dragon acually... So that means this three headed dragon must be... Felix! NO! You mustn't fight that dragon! It's-"
"Too late, Kraden! We can't get away from it now!" Garet shouted back.
"Felix, don't! Stop!!!"
And the fight started...
It was a hard battle, but they came through, everyone of them. None would give in- no matter what. Determination pulled them through- determination that would make them cry.
"...who are they?" Ivan's eyes widened as the figures of three people lay motionless where the dragon once sat.
"That's what I was trying to warn you about!" Kraden frowned. "It wasn't just the dragon you killed..."
"I remember you warning us, but it was too late for us to stop..." Garet muttered.
"Kraden, what do you know? Why were you trying to stop us from fighting the dragon?" Demanded Mia.
"It was the wise One's final trap..."
"Trap? What do you mean?" The boy wind adept asked.
"The wise one knew he couldn't stop you, so he played a cruel, wretched trick on you instead."
"Kraden, I don't understand... what are you trying to tell us?" Isaac's patience grew thin.
Jenna turned to Sheba. "Sheba, let's see who those people are while they try to sort this out."
Shrugging, the two walked over when they were stopped by Kraden.
"No, Jenna! Don't look! You mustn't look! It will only bring you pain..."
"What are you talking about, Kraden? They can't hurt us anymore... We'll just—"
While Sheba talked, Jenna had already taken a look at the people, now stepping away slowly, trembling with every heartbeat.
"What's the matter, Jenna?"
"It... can't be... How? How..." She cried
The man on the right moaned and moved slightly. "Nnn... Uhnnn..."
At this, Isaac jumped, sharing Jenna's expression.
"What is it, Isaac?" Mia stretched her neck to see.
Isaac looked from his friend and back as the man twitched again.
"Isaac! I... I know that guy!" Garet jumped. "That's your dad!"
"then... does that mean... the other two are..." Sheba held her breath as the woman on the far left moaned.
"Mom... dad..."
"I'll heal Jenna's parents! Quickly, Mia! Tend to Isaac's father!" Piers directed.
"If only... If only I'd realized it sooner..." Kraden shook his head sadly.
A great time passed before Mia and Piers finally gave up.
"What's the matter, Piers? Why did you stop? Jenna's parents need you..."
"Don't give up Mia. You can't! You have to save them..."
"It's no use, Ivan... I'm tapped..." Mia frowned, trying to keep images from the past from taking over.
"Mia... we can make them better, right? Just like mommy did to that man... we can make them better."
"Alex..." Mia fell silent.
"We can do it, we can make anyone better, right?" He stumbled over to his mother's body. "They'll get better... ply!" He tried over and over.
"Alex, stop!" Mia finally stopped him, sobbing hard. "Alex... we can't fix them... something's just can't be done... You'd have to be extremely powerful to bring them back..."
"Powerful...?"
"I am, too... and even if I weren't, It's just too late..."
"what are you saying!?" Jenna paused "They're not... They can't be..."
"That's not what I'm saying, Jenna... I..." Piers was hopeless.
"I finally found them... I was going to be with them again... for the first time in years...."
"Jenna..." Sheba broke an awkward silence as her friend cried.
"Please... It can't be... Mom... Wake up! It's me... It's Jenna!...don't leave me..." there was another pause. "I thought I'd get to see my parents again... I thought I'd get to hold them again... But instead, we were forced to destroy them..."
"If Alex set this all in motion, then he's responsible for this, and I'll never forgive him." Mia promised.
"The Golden Sun... The very Quintessence of Alchemy's power! It's beginning!" Alex paused in his climbing as a light shown on the horizon. "Wait for me! Please, Wait! Wait until I've reached the summit of Mt. Aleph!" He continued to climb.
Mars was the first to leave.
Then Mercury,
Venus,
And Jupiter.
Alex soon stood tall on the summit of Mt. Aleph, arms stretched up as the Golden Sun granted him it's light and glory.
"At last! I have it! Eternal life... and limitless power!" He held his fists together in front of himself. "At least, the power of nature is mine to control as I will!" He rose his hands once again. "Rise, storms! Rise up and unleash your might upon Vale and the foothills of Mt. Aleph!" a short while passed before he stood back with his arms at his sides, looking around curiously and resuming position. "That's odd... I should have limitless power... so why can't I call up a simple storm?...Wh-who are you?" He felt a presence behind him.
"I am called the wise one..."
"The wise one? Vale's protector?" Alex turned, facing the rock without fear.
"You wish to have limitless power?"
"Wish to? I just got it!"
"No. Your power is nearly limitless, but is has boundaries."
"Nearly limitless? You speak in riddles. Can't you see? The power is mine!"
"Yes. You also have nearly endless life. And your psynergy is... somewhat stronger."
"If you are trying to anger me, have a little taste of exactly how much power I have attained! Look at me! My body is brimming with power!" His aura grew, glowing bright blue around his figure.
The Wise One was not one to accept being talked to as so. He knocked the adept down with a single blow of psynergy.
"How!? What's going on? I should be all-powerful! How can you defeat me!?"
"You're not all-powerful, Alex." The Wise one threw the boy through the air. "Your power has limits, as does your life."
"That cannot be!" Alex twitched slightly on the ground. "Who is responsible for this treachery? Who has robbed me of my dream??"
"I, the wise one, imbued the Mars Star with some on the power of the forming Golden sun. It rests even now in the hands of the young Isaac.
"Why?"
Just then, the Earth started to shake rather harshly, boulders breaking off the mountain and tumbling onto the crumbling village of Vale.
"The heavens and earth are changing, Alex! You must flee now!"
"Wha-what!?"
"Mt. Aleph will soon be drawn into the heart of the earth! You must flee or join it forever!" He glanced around.
"Flee?! I can't flee! I can't even move!"
"Ah, yes. You now see the limits of your power. If you are swallowed by the earth, you may not survive. If you survive, perhaps we shall meet again someday..." The wise one left Alex lying there, a top the crumbling mountain.
"No... Mia... I've failed you..." He whispered as he was drawn into the earth. "Maybe... next time... Yes, next time you'll be mine. I won't let you go..."
- - Ame: YAY!! Cheesy cuteness! And most of the cheesyness is over!!! ^o^ Now to finish typing what I have of Part II... EVERYBODY LOVES part II –shifty eyes-
Alex: I wonder why... -_-;;
Ame: Quintessence is a big word... It's fun to use on friends n_n;;; -has a habit of quoting GS at random times- I memorized Ivan's first words!!
"Yes... I-I do possess strange powers... You have them too? My powers are called Psynergy? I never knew!"
Ame: then he says something like
"We have so much in common, I feel I can trust you with this. I am quite troubled. Master Hammet's rod has been stolen..."
Ame: Like I said in chapter 2 or something... Genki has my first game, so I can't check.
Alex: and once more, she does not own me nor the rest of Golden Sun.
Ame: When life gives you lemons, squirt 'em in life's eyes! That joke is so old it's... not funny! Yay!
Alex: ...
Ame: stop talking like Isaac! Did you know Isaac's first word is Mia?
Alex: You've already pointed that out, I believe.
Ame: oh, oops... n_n;;;

He grasped the rocks tight. With every step his heart ached more. He'd come this far and couldn't give up, no matter what. She couldn't stop him. Nothing could.
She couldn't help him either.
He wasn't a little kid anymore, he wasn't her little brother. No, he was grown. Growth takes change. We was a different person and it was her fault. Hers and all of her little friend's.

"Betrayers, you have arrived!" the voice shook the lighthouse as they reached the summit.
"Who said that!?" Garet looked around in confusion.
"The wind's too strong! I can't see anything!" Mia clung to his back.
"I heard it too, but I don't see anyone else up here!" Sheba complained.
"Felix! Quick! Cast the mars star in before anything has a chance to stop us!"
Felix nodded, running up to the pit. Just then, he shivered uncontrollably, stepping back slowly.

I should have limitless power... so why can't I call up a simple storm?...Wh-who are you?" He felt a presence behind him.
"I am called the wise one..."
"The wise one? Vale's protector?" Alex turned, facing the rock without fear.
"You wish to have limitless power?"
"Wish to? I just got it!"
"No. Your power is nearly limitless, but is has boundaries."
"Nearly limitless? You speak in riddles. Can't you see? The power is mine!"
"Yes. You also have nearly endless life. And your psynergy is... somewhat stronger."
"If you are trying to anger me, have a little taste of exactly how much power I have attained! Look at me! My body is brimming with power!" His aura grew, glowing bright blue around his figure.
The Wise One was not one to accept being talked to as so. He knocked the adept down with a single blow of psynergy.
"How!? What's going on? I should be all-powerful! How can you defeat me!?"
"You're not all-powerful, Alex." The Wise one threw the boy through the air. "Your power has limits, as does your life."
"That cannot be!" Alex twitched slightly on the ground. "Who is responsible for this treachery? Who has robbed me of my dream??"
"I, the wise one, imbued the Mars Star with some on the power of the forming Golden sun. It rests even now in the hands of the young Isaac.
"Why?"
Just then, the Earth started to shake rather harshly, boulders breaking off the mountain and tumbling onto the crumbling village of Vale.
"The heavens and earth are changing, Alex! You must flee now!"
"Wha-what!?"
"Mt. Aleph will soon be drawn into the heart of the earth! You must flee or join it forever!" He glanced around.
"Flee?! I can't flee! I can't even move!"
"Ah, yes. You now see the limits of your power. If you are swallowed by the earth, you may not survive. If you survive, perhaps we shall meet again someday..." The wise one left Alex lying there, a top the crumbling mountain.
"No... Mia... I've failed you..." He whispered as he was drawn into the earth. "Maybe... next time... Yes, next time you'll be mine. I won't let you go..."
- - Ame: YAY!! Cheesy cuteness! And most of the cheesyness is over!!! ^o^ Now to finish typing what I have of Part II... EVERYBODY LOVES part II –shifty eyes-
Alex: I wonder why... -_-;;
Ame: Quintessence is a big word... It's fun to use on friends n_n;;; -has a habit of quoting GS at random times- I memorized Ivan's first words!!
"Yes... I-I do possess strange powers... You have them too? My powers are called Psynergy? I never knew!"
Ame: then he says something like
"We have so much in common, I feel I can trust you with this. I am quite troubled. Master Hammet's rod has been stolen..."
Ame: Like I said in chapter 2 or something... Genki has my first game, so I can't check.
