"What do you think Gnome meant when he spoke of Sylph?" Mizu wondered as she followed right behind the two young men. They were on their way down the hall with the symbol of the wind on its door. Apparently the symbol of the wind is a leaf.

"What do you mean?" Adven wondered. "I think it was pretty straight-forward."

"He said that getting his item won't be as hard as meeting him. Wouldn't that mean that we don't have to fight Sylph to get the item?" Mizu wondered.

"It could mean a million and one things." Adven commented. The trio continued on longer. "Y'know, Jet hasn't said anything in a while."

Jet groaned. "Why should I talk to a cheater like you?"

"Wait, Adven did cheat?" Mizu wondered.

"Pheh. Not only did he cheat, he cheated twice." Jet noted. "He blocked the hammer with pieces of wood in his sleeves, and then he cooled the sword with negative energy." Jet explained. "He cheated."

"Suddenly you have a problem with cheating?" Adven hummed. "I could have sworn you've cheated before. Besides, it won us a lot. It was like we won a five for one sale. All we have to do is get the last item and it's over."

"Is it over?" Jet interjected. "Do you think saving Filgaia is that simple?"

"Saving the planet? Is that what we've been doing?" Adven questioned in deep thought. "I sort of forget why we started this all."

"Still, it seems more and more evident that we're trying to save people by making this weapon and stopping the Cane of Calamity." Jet noted with his hand to his chin in thought. "I hate saving the world…it's too much work. You can't just say you'll do it, or fight just one battle, you have to do things and fight many pointless battles. And…you tend to have to work with others, and I hate doing that." Jet continued to babble. "But at this point of my life…I can't see me stopping. I mean, I can't settle down at all. So…I some reason feel real excited about this…but I don't want to."

Mizu and Adven eyed one another. Jet was talking strange to them. It was not normal for Jet to rip out his heart and wear it on his arm. "What are you saying, Jet?"

"I have to continue fighting…because I only exist by doing this." Jet said right out. He shook his head. "Adven, the weapon is going to be worth a lot. I'm taking it. I might as well get the treasure I so rightfully deserve."

"What?" Adven sputtered. "No way! I've been beaten up again and again. I was hit in the head with a heavy hammer. I'm taking whatever treasure we wind up with."

A glare of immense fire passed between the two. Mizu broke them up. "This isn't about treasure! This is about doing the right thing!" She protested. The two stared at her as if she were an alien. "Okay…um…this is about gaining bragging rights to being the strongest two people in all of Filgaia."

Jet and Adven both thought about that notion. "Ha-ha!" Adven pointed at Jet. "This will, once and for all, prove which of us two is the strongest! So far it's me in the lead, being that I'm the one who has helped us out of each of these situations."

Jet shook a finger. "Maybe so, but Sa was a group effort. Undine and Gnome were all you, but that was just because I was incapable of fighting Undine and you were just stupid enough to take on Gnome. I bet I could have gotten us through the whole Gnome thing without anyone having a hammer swung at them."

Mizu felt like she was recklessly throwing wood on the fire behind each of the two men. "Uh…So, Adven, what's Sylph meant to be like?"

Adven let the question come, thus changing the subject, which was Mizu's plan. She would let them bicker later. "Hmm…it's said that Sylph is a sprite like person who is full of pep. In other words, the exact opposite of Jet. Sylph is said to be cheery, and helpful, and other positive qualities…unlike those qualities of Jet."

"That's it!" Jet was seconds from whacking the mind from Adven's head through the ear, but he was caught. Mizu glared at him. "Pheh." He relented and walked away down the hall. It seemed like too much time together was becoming a bad thing for all of them. It even seems to have made Jet soft.

OKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOKOK

AN: It seems like this story has been an Adven heavy story. It has been Adven who has been winning the most it seems. It was Adven's plan that beat Sa, Adven who fought Undine while Jet was in mental shutdown, and Adven who was stupid enough to face Gnome. Well, for the battle with Gnome it's evidence that Jet wouldn't have been able to been in the same position, so it was the best choice.

But this story isn't even halfway over, and there are still plenty of fights to take place, and I already know what happens in most of them. Expect more of the tricks, cheats, punches, and maybe some new techniques as well as new baddies. I have been trying to save Jet from using the Raven's Wing in this story, as well as Lion's Rage Punch, but I have used the Positive and Negative Cannons, so I guess I may still use the other moves and the new alterations to them.
