I do not own Golden Sun. ON WITH THE STORY!
Ivan stood, alone as he could be, in a large field outside of Vale. It was nearing dusk, and the grasshoppers could be heard in abundance. He fingered his sword nervously. Sheba would be here soon.
The sounds of the night suddenly died down. She was here. A snap of a twig. Ivan rolled on the ground, narrowly avoiding a blast of Plasma. He turned around. She was staying in the woods.
"Reveal!" Ivan bellowed. He saw her. "Spark Plasma!" he yelled, raising his arms to the sky. Several blasts rained down upon Sheba. The traitor stepped out, smiling to herself.
Sheba held two daggers in her hand, both were highly decorated. They faced each other, ready to strike. Ivan pulled out the Masasume.
"Grand Gaia!" a third voice bellowed. Ivan opened his eyes in surprise as he was blown backwards. Felix came from the woods and stood next to Sheba.
"I can't let you hurt her," He said. He got into a fighting position.
"I don't want to hurt you Felix," Ivan said quietly, getting up. Felix smiled slightly.
"You don't have a choice," he snarled. He ran forward, his fist pulled back for a punch. Ivan raised his sword.
"Dragon Fume!" Jenna yelled. Everyone froze as the red head erupted from the woods and fired the attack. It hit straight on Felix. He stumbled backwards.
"J-Jenna?" Felix muttered. Jenna stood menacingly, her staff in hand.
"You.." she uttered. She seemed to be on fire. "You knew all along. Isaac's soul is now with Ivan, and the Golden Sun is in the wrong hands. You could have stopped it all!"
"Jenna. I can explain," Felix began. Jenna raised her staff, cutting him off.
"It's too late brother," she said calmly.
"Much to late," Garet said. He and Mia stepped out of the woods.
"I remember the note saying I didn't want you guys to follow me," Ivan smiled, looking at his friends.
"We're here to help," Mia responded.
"Even if it means," Jenna continued.
"Fighting our former friends," Garet finished. They turn to Sheba and Felix.
The fight for Weyard has begun.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"You have to be careful! Sheba has most of the Golden Sun!" Isaac warned Ivan.
"I know! You've only reminded me a dozen times!" Ivan said, a little annoyed.
"Spark Plasma!" Sheba bellowed, the wind picking up. The four ducked out of the way. Garet pulled out the Dark Muramasa and Excalibur. He launched himself at Felix.
"Tempest!" Ivan shouted, taking in a breath. The tornadoes blew down at Sheba. The shield raised up and blocked it.
"Cycle Beam!" Jenna yelled, catching Sheba by surprise. The Wind Adept was blown back.
"Rising Dragon!" Ivan yelled. His sword let out the attack and hit the slightly dazed Sheba.
"Ice Missile!" Mia bellowed, keeping it up. The traitor was pummeled with ice spikes.
"Sheba!" Felix yelled.
"You've got bigger things to worry about!" Garet said, swinging the two swords in expert fashion. Excalibur was close to cutting his neck. A briefest of seconds, the sword was turned sideways, and the blunt end hit Felix's head, knocking him out.
"You're outnumbered Sheba!" Ivan bellowed. The fellow Wind Adept just smiled and chuckled, giving off a slight glow as she healed herself.
"I know you won't kill me. You don't have the guts. Poor, poor little Ivan," Sheba smirked. Ivan gripped the hilt of his sword.
"We're in this together. But in the end, this is YOUR decision," Isaac said quietly.
"I know Isaac," Ivan muttered back.
"You betrayed us Sheba! Why?" Jenna yelled. The traitor turned to look at her.
"Because I could," she said quietly.
"You monster!" Ivan cried. Tears were streaming down his face as he raised his sword. "You killed Isaac! You betrayed your friends!" he began to walk towards her, then started to pick up speed. "You don't even deserve death, but it's the best I can give!" Ivan finished. Sheba's Psynergy shield appeared, but she could have place a piece of paper there for all it did. The sword pierced into her just the same.
Sheba just gurgled slightly, blood coming up from her mouth.
"I regret….nothing," she murmured. Sheba felled down, dead to the world.
Sheba's part of the Golden Sun rose up, and floated there for a second. It went forward, and pulsed into Ivan.
"Alchemy has the power to thwart death itself."
"Your friends don't seem to be coming," Conservato smirked. Piers was in his cell, chained, and Bound.
"Why would they? They have no wind of this plan of yours," Piers grinned slightly, still believing in his friends.
"Oh, but they do. I knew your uncle would send them a letter," Conservato smiled. Piers' forehead creased slightly, thinking.
"So what have they been doing all this time?" Conservato asked, the same question that had just appeared in Piers' head.
"Ivan?" Jenna asked softly. The Wind Adept was on his knees, in front of Sheba's body. Tears rolled freely down his cheeks.
"I'm…I'm fine," he sniffed, tears still streaming down his face. "Now we have Lemuria to worry about."
"I got Felix," Garet said quietly, putting the limp form of the Earth Adept on his shoulder.
"We'll tell the villagers so they…they can give her a proper burial," Mia said softly, putting her hand on Ivan's shoulder. Ivan tore it off.
"A proper burial! Did Isaac have a proper burial? Did Saturos or Menardi? She betrayed us all!" Ivan shouted in rage, getting up.
"But Isaac isn't dead…" Jenna squeaked. Ivan had freaked them all out.
"Yes. He's inside of me. He's become part of me! I'm neither Ivan nor Isaac now. You can thank her for that," he spat, looking down at Sheba. Then his eyes grew wide.
"What's wrong?" Garet asked, seemingly the least unfazed.
Ivan just continued to stare at them, then disappeared.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"So they've come?" Conservato asked the scout.
"In a way," the scout said, kneeling before his king. Conservato raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Continue," the false king said, waving his hand.
"Well…There's only one of them. A small one, blonde hair, using a sword," the scout explained.
"And what seems to be the problem?" Conservato asked.
"He's…winning."
