Disclaimer: If I owned Golden Sun I would most likely live in Japan and I would most likely have better things to do with my time than write Fan Fiction. So no, I really do not own Golden Sun.

Authors Note: I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING FOR SO LONG. I promised Cami of Queenscove that I would add drama to it (which I was stumped at because I did not set up this story for drama) wrote a chapter, hated it, and deleted it. I have had tons of School work, been in and out of town, family stuff, working on my other story (which will have a lot of drama in it Cami), and wow, this apology actually makes it seem like I have a life. This chapter is a little like the old one, but it does not put Piers in such a bad light (yeah, I have limits on these things) Without further ado, the much awaited chapter!

Kraden had conveniently misplaced the map; so once again, our favorite old man had made everyone on board want to throw him overboard. It did not help that a storm blew them off course and destroyed their compass so that they had no way to figure out which way was north or south. When it came to luck, these guys did not have much of it.

They all knew that they were running out of time, and they had to reach Mars Lighthouse before it was too late. They were spilt into two groups; Mia, Jenna, Sheba, and Ivan searched around the ship for the missing map and/or any extra tools that would help them out of this mess, and Felix, Piers, Isaac, and Garet took care of protecting and steering the ship in the quickly worsening weather. It was kind of like the rough seas they endured after they left Contigo, but this was much worse. They had noticed how the storms started coming more and more frequently. Every few seconds a wave would crash into the side of the ship making it rock violently. No one got much sleep, except for Kraden, who snored really loudly. Nerves were frayed, and no one was in much of a good mood.

"Hey Felix, do you see land yet?" Asked a slightly seasick Ivan.

"Not…yet," Felix said through clenched teeth as he gripped the wheel. Piers was acting as a look out from atop the ship, but he was having trouble seeing through the rain and thick fog. Isaac and Garet were trying to fend off the many creatures that jump aboard the ship looking for a safe haven from the rolling seas.

"Well, if you find it, everyone really needs some rest, so stop," Ivan told him. "We could probably find a town too and find where we are."

"What do you think I've been trying to do!" Felix snapped. Ivan quietly went back inside. The girls were waiting there, exhausted from searching every nook and cranny of the ship; of course, it was nothing compared to what everyone else was facing. "No sight of land yet."

"Oh, at this rate we'll never reach Loho, much less Mars Lighthouse!" Jenna complained. "We're doomed."

"No, we're not, we just need to find a safe place to stop and wait out the storm," Mia said. Jenna sighed, frustrated, and she stood up and walked over to a cabinet that held extra antidotes and herbs. She grabbed a bunch and was about to walk out the door when…

"What are you doing, Jenna," Sheba asked.

"They're probably in really bad condition out there, I'm just going to help them a little," She replied. "They're probably low on supplies and injured or something."

"Oh Jenna, come on," Sheba said. "They might be tired, but they're strong, and they defend themselves just fine against monsters. You need to rest in case a real emergency comes, and we really do need to go out there and help them."

"No! I am tired of just sitting and waiting while they are out there in the storm. I want to help them, so maybe there won't be an emergency," Jenna said. She flung the door opened and was immediately pelted by rain. She slowly made her way over to Felix. "Hey bro, what can I do to help you guys!" Jenna asked.

"Did you find the…map yet," Felix asked.

"No."

"Well, start by doing that!" Felix ordered.

"We've already looked everywhere," Jenna stubbornly. "You guys need more help out here."

"Fine, go check on Garet and Isaac," He said, suddenly noticing the herbs in her hands. Jenna ran to the of the ship to find Garet attacking a Sea Turtle and Isaac fainted on the floor.

"Isaac!" Jenna screamed, and she ran to his side. "Garet, what happened?"

"He was bitten pretty badly on his arm," Garet said. "He kept on fighting, but eventually he passed out."

"And you didn't do anything?" Jenna asked, fire dancing dangerously in her eyes.

"Hey! I tried calling for someone, but no one heard me, and when I tried dragging him away, more monsters attacked and I almost fell off the ship," Garet argued back. "I can't stop for a second out here, it's wild!"

"Well, I'm sorry you're so slow," She said. She turned back to Isaac, ignoring Garet's protests, and turned him over so that he was lying on his back. His eyes flickered open for a second, then closed. Jenna did not need Mia to tell her that Isaac had lost a lot of blood from his injury; it was larger and deeper than any other bite she had ever seen. She tried giving him a herb, but it was no use.
"Garet, I'm taking Isaac back to Mia," Jenna said. "I'll send Ivan over to help you."

"Fine, just go and stop distracting me," Garet yelled, once again busy with the Sea Turtle. It was slow and hard work, dragging Isaac inside. Jenna had to be careful not to lose her balance and fall off board. Finally, she entered the inside of the ship.

"Mia, Isaac…needs help," Jenna mumbled. Mia jumped up from where she was sitting and rushed over. "His arm…"

"I see, go sit down Jenna," Mia said, inspecting the wound carefully.

"Ivan," Jenna said. "Garet needs your help out there." Ivan nodded and ran out. Jenna collapsed on the floor, realizing how glad she was to sit down, and she felt pity her brother and friends who still had to go through this nightmare. She did not reflect on it long, for she was soon fast asleep.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"Jenna wake up!" Sheba started poking the napping Mars adept.

"How long have I been sleeping?" Jenna groaned, opening her eyes.

"About an hour," Sheba replied.

"Not long enough," Jenna closed her eyes again, but Sheba resumed poking. "Fine, I'm up! I'm up!" Jenna rubbed her eyes and stared at the ceiling for a moment. "By the way, how's Isaac doing?"

"Well, um, Jenna, I'm afraid I have some bad news," Sheba said solemnly, trying not to make eye contact with her.

"What?!" Jenna shot straight up. Sheba started to giggle madly.

"I knew that would get you up," She said between laughs. "Now lets go. We've found land, and apparently there's this abandoned shack there with some supplies."

"Tell me, how is Isaac?" Jenna demanded.

"You'll see, now get up!" Sheba grabbed one of Jenna's arms, and she pulled her outside. Rain was still falling, but now the ship was moored at a muddy beach. Jenna could hear Gaia Falls faintly in the distance. As Sheba led her to the shack, the roar became louder and could be distinctly heard above the rain and wind. Inside of the shack, almost everyone was gathered. Only Felix and Piers were missing to take check on a few last minute things at the ship. Garet and Ivan had found some sort of purplish substance, and after taking a few sips, they were both belting out an old nursery rhyme. Jenna approached Mia, who was watching the performance with interest.

"Hey, how's Isaac?" She asked her quietly.

"He's fine," Mia said.

"Where is he?"

"In the back room," Mia pointed to a door. "He's probably sleeping, but you can go see him if you want." Jenna thanked her, and entered the only other room in the shack. It was more like a closet, but it had a bed, which Isaac was sleeping on. On his arm was a bloody bandage. The wound was a lot worse then Jenna had anticipated, and she had thought it was bad in the first place.

Jenna knelt by the bed, and she took his hand. She waited for a half hour before Isaac started to budge a little. She stood up as he opened his eyes.

Jenna's face over Isaac was not a bad way for him to wake up. His arm hurt like heck, and his memories of what happened were scattered. The creature twice his size taking a hold of his arm…seeing the moonlight pass through the clouds for a brief second before passing out…Mia standing over him, absorbed in a blue light…

"Hey Ize-guy," Jenna leaning over to kiss him on the forehead; she paused for a second before giving him a small kiss on the lips. The move had been a surprising one to Isaac, but it was not unpleasant. His arm start to hurt even more, and he winced a little. "Are you ok?" Jenna asked, feeling him wince.

"Yeah, my arm is killing me though," He said. He did his best to smile, but it did not work.

"Do you need anything," She asked. "Water? Food? Really, I can get anything for you."

"No, I'm fine, just need a little more rest," He replied. Jenna gave him another kiss, and he didn't want her to go, but she said,

"Ok, well, give a holler if you need anything, I'll be in the other room," She stood up and left. Isaac closed his eyes, and fell once more into a deep slumber. This time when awoke, it was Mia who was huddled over him, and he was in a considerably worse mood seeing as she had woken him by bumping into his injured arm.

"Oops, sorry Isaac," Mia apologized. "How are you feeling?"

"I'll live," He grumbled while pain shot through his body.

"Here, drink this," Mia helped him sit up, and she handed him a warm cup filled with a dark liquid. He started to drink it, but he spit it out after his first taste.

"Ew, what is that?" He asked, wiping his mouth. "It's disgusting."

"Yes, but it will help you heal faster," Mia almost had to force the vile drink down Isaac's throat before she left him. Jenna entered again.

"I'm baaaaaack," She announced herself. She was a lot more cheerful now.

"Hi," Isaac mumbled. Somehow, Jenna's presence did not brighten his mood.

"Need anything?" Jenna asked, sitting at the edge of the bed.

"No, can I just be left alone for a while?" Isaac said. It came out much harsher than he expected, and Jenna looked a little hurt.

"Oh, of course," She turned to leave.

"Jenna, I'm sorry," Isaac called out. "I'm-"

"Tired, I know," Jenna said with a weak smile. "Get some rest. Hopefully, by tomorrow this foul mood that has settled on us all will be gone." Little did she know that it was about to become much, much worse.

Authors Note: Not very dramatic or funny, but for all of you Drama Queens out there, this will set it up for a lot more action. Hopefully, I will be able to update again this week, but next week I am going on a weeklong school trip, so no such luck then. Bye for now! Remember! More reviews, more chance of updating.
