Princess Viv: I have thought of a new storyline!! WHOOPEE!!!!!!!!!! jumps around the room ecstatically!
Sparkle: Yay! We're back in action!
Princess Viv: Speaking about my last chapter, "Flames in control", I'd like to say sorry to all those who thought Jenna falling for Garet was fast. I know it was quick, but I really couldn't think of any other way. And I prefer writing Mudshipping or Windshipping…I'm sorry. Oh yeah, and I've decided that I can't be bothered to write my Beyblade fic yet-I'm gonna concentrate on this story first, and finish it. I'm also planning a sequel to this Golden Sun fic! Now, to answer my reviewers who reviewed recently, or just to thank them:
BlueRag: I don't understand a word you said, but I'm clever enough to figure out it was an unnecessary insult, and you were definitely swearing, so why don't you just f off yourself, okay? And you spelt the f-word wrong anyway. Your language, I have to express, is terrible. I don't want enemies, and what the hell do you mean by "I'm on you!" (Koumi-loc fan on yo b ass slob face)? What have I done wrong?!? If it's to do with the fact I'm not a Koumi fan (I am a Kouzumi fan), then why don't you just respect other's opinions. You're in your twenties, for God's sake, act like it!
Djinn: oooo, you are harsh sometimes!
Princess Viv: I'm sorry about that; I had to show my violent, swearing side…
Jadebell: Thanks for reviewing, and good luck with the game.
BlackDemon567: Thanks for your advice and reviews. I'll email if I need help.
Unkown-Character: Thank you for your reviews!
Pant Burner and Daidaro: I am so sorry about the lack of updates. Here is the chapter you've been waiting for, and thanks for the review(s).
Princess Viv: Anyway, disclaimer…I decided to let the djinn take turns in doing it, from youngest first. Sparkle?
Sparkle: jumps up and down with exhilarating joy Princess Viv does not own Golden Sun! So, mistress, how was that? Was I good? Eh?
Ebony: Whatever.
Princess Viv: Yes Sparkle, you did it…just like everyone else! Well done!
Sparkle: jumps up and down even more Guys, guys, did you hear me do it? Did you, did you?
Rocky: Yeah, well done Sparkle…shut up now. There's a story to be written.
Princess Viv: Yeah, there is, he's very right. Now if everyone will be quiet…all djinn argue in the background Oh, whatever was I thinking? Quiet? Yeah right! Thanks for the reviews, and read and enjoy!
Golden Sun: The Fight for the Stars
Chapter 6: Mia's dream and the return of evil
As Jenna and Garet stood there, still kissing, there was a very loud, angry and shocked scream from Jenna's house.
"Felix?" Jenna broke the kiss.
Suddenly, Felix ran out of the house, face distorted with fury, and his hands on his sword, ready to kill.
"Jenna, don't you think that something about Felix seems…a little different." Garet asked.
Jenna peered closer, and noticed why her brother looked…altered. "It's his hair!" she started to laugh insanely, pointing at Felix's hair as he drew closer. "It's green!"
Garet looked. "You're right!" he laughed too. When Felix approached them, he glared at the two menacingly.
"Jenna! Garet! Are you responsible for THIS!" Felix pointed at his hair, face very red.
"No! Course not!" Jenna laughed, tears spilling out of her eyes. Felix softened a bit, seeing his sister happy again, but he still needed to find that culprit…or culprits!
"Garet…where are Kay and Aaron?" Felix asked in a deadly tone of voice.
"Kay? Aaron?" Garet linked everything together (took him long enough), shook his head and grinned. "No idea."
Felix quickly departed to look for the two little fiends. Soon, Mia and Isaac passed the very angry Felix.
"Oh hi Felix! I wa---whoa!" Isaac began, blinking at the Venus adept's hair. "You do realise your hair is rather…green?" Mia tried to repress a giggle, but when Felix glared at her, she changed it into a cough.
"Of course I have!" Felix gave him a withering look and asked furiously, "Have you seen the little blighters?"
"Blighters? Who are the little bli---oh! Them." It finally dawned on Isaac.
"You mean Kay and Aaron?" Mia asked grinning, "No, I haven't. Isaac?"
"Nah. They're probably planning to stay out of your way! Or they're thinking of playing tricks on someone else!" Isaac smirked.
"Well, they never annoy you or Mia. It's always the rest of us. Last time, Jenna got into the shower and it started raining mud, Sheba fell down a pit, Ivan was tricked into thinking ghosts were haunting his bedroom and wouldn't go in there, and Garet…poor guy. They always torture him. They put "things" in his food; steal his clothes when he's having a bath, and all sorts of other bad things! Piers doesn't live here, lucky thing. I guess they really look up to you, Isaac, and Mia's too nice, gentle and soft."
Isaac and Mia blinked in surprise. They had never heard Felix say such long sentences before, since the only time he usually talked was when he was asked something really vital, or in battle.
"Anyway, I have to find those two…impudent, ignorant brats. I'll show them what I'm made of; for messing with me and my hair, they are gonna pay dearly…" Felix walked off muttering darkly to himself.
Mia and Isaac once again blinked at him, and continued to walk on. "Was that really Felix we bumped into back there?" Isaac turned to his girlfriend.
Mia shrugged. "I dunno. I've never seen him act that way before though. But his hair…now that was funny!"
In the afternoon…Isaac, Garet, Mia and Jenna walked around together, chatting.
"So Isaac," Garet drew his best friend away from the two girls, "What's this I hear about you and Mia, eh?"
Isaac blushed, "H-h-how do you know?"
"I have my sources." Garet tapped his nose.
On the other side, the girls were also chatting. "You and Garet seem close today! Anything I should know?" Mia winked at her friend.
Jenna blushed bright red. "Us? Oh no, of course there's nothing going on between us!! Never!"
Mia laughed, "Jenna, you are terrible at lying!" Jenna blushed even more.
"Well, just don't let on to the others yet, but I'm sure Ivan and Sheba will find out soon enough. They like to meddle with our minds, don't they?" Jenna sighed. Mia chuckled. "So, I see Isaac has finally found the his dream lady." Jenna nudged Mia gently, smirking.
Mia blushed lightly. "Yeah."
Isaac needed to get back at Garet for exposing him. He noticed something was going on between Jenna and Garet. They were his two childhood best friends, how could he not notice? Isaac glanced at them. Garet was occasionally eyeing Jenna, and she, in return, was smiling shyly at him now and again…not to mention Mia looked very…triumphant as she said something and made Jenna blush. Isaac didn't need Ivan and Sheba's ability to read minds to know what Mia had said to Jenna.
"So Garet," Isaac drawled casually. "You got your eye on anyone in particular?"
"What do you mean by that?" Garet glanced at Isaac suspiciously, but densely.
"I meant have you found someone special?
"Someone special?"
Isaac fell to the floor anime style and sweatdropped. "Oh, for Venus' sake, I meant have you found anyone you like!!!" he was on the verge of blowing up at his best friend.
"Oh right, I get it now!" Garet smiled.
Isaac rolled his lavender eyes. "Sometimes he is so stupid!" he thought.
"So," he continued, "is the answer yes or no?"
"Yeah." Garet twiddled his fingers nervously, his face a little pink.
Isaac grinned. "Is that person a particular fire adept with an extremely fiery temper?"
Garet jumped, blushed some more, and walloped Isaac on the side of his head. "Shush!! How did you know?"
Isaac merely smirked and tapped his nose like Garet had a few minutes ago. "I have my sources."
Garet growled, and wrestled Isaac to the floor. "I'll get you for that!"
Isaac smiled and retaliated. "Oh no you won't."
Jenna smirked and turned to Mia. "You wouldn't think those two were best friends, but this is their way of showing their friendship. Weird, huh?"
That night…Mia was dressed in her pastel blue pyjamas. She sat on her bed, thinking of what had happened recently.
"Piers and Sapphia got married, and I found out I was the Princess of Lemuria and Piers is my older brother. Isaac and I are together now. So are Jenna and Garet. I'm so happy for them! I thought Jenna was going to be sad forever…I felt so guilty…I wonder when Ivan and Sheba are gonna reveal their obvious feelings. If they use their Mind Read on each other, then they won't have to be scared of not knowing if the other one doesn't feel the same. Anyway, they don't have to do that. They are evidently meant for each other…and Felix has green hair…" Mia grinned as she thought of the prank Kay and Aaron had pulled on him.
"Anyway, bed time." Mia said aloud as she tucked herself into her bed. She gently blew out her candle, and fell asleep…
"Mia."
"Who's there?"
"It's me."
"Who are you?"
A tall figure emerged from the shadows in front of Mia.
"Alex!"
"Yes, me."
"What are you doing here?"
Mia stepped back in fear.
"No, don't go!"
"Why?"
"Because I have much to tell you before it is too late."
"What do you have to say?"
Mia remained where she was, afraid to go too near to Alex. Or was he just an illusion?
"Mia, another evil is arising. Someone greater and stronger than Saturos, Menardi, Karst, Agatio and I ever were."
"Why should I believe you?"
"I don't know."
Alex smiled sadly, causing Mia's heart to flip a little.
"No, fight it. You mustn't believe him!"
Mia shook her head.
"Mia, I am truly sorry for what I did to you, the pain I caused you. You probably wouldn't believe me if I said I regretted everything I had ever done to you that caused you pain. But you must believe me about his new evil. He will arise to try and create a war that will finish this world off."
"Who's "he"?"
"He is someone you don't want to mess with. He is a Sol adept."
"A what?"
"A Sol adept. Otherwise known as a light adept. They command a lot of power."
"What does this "Sol adept" wish to do?"
"He wants Sol and Luna adepts to fight once more. He wants war. He wishes to repeat history itself."
"What are Luna adepts, and why would he want this?"
"Luna adepts are otherwise known as dark adepts. He is doing this so that all the Sol and Luna adepts that are living on this earth will vanquish each other. During this war, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Mercury adepts will also be drawn in. Most will be killed, or left barely alive."
"But why? He is a Sol adept himself, no?"
"Yes, but if every adept in this world is dead, or injured badly, then this Sol adept will attempt to take the power of all the elements for himself. He will be the strongest person on earth and try to command everyone on it. He wants power."
"How can he do this?"
"If not one adept of each element is left capable for the lighthouse to channel its energy into, it will automatically channel its energy to someone else. In this case, this Sol adept."
"Oh."
"Will you believe me?"
Mia looked into Alex's eyes and saw only…the truth.
"I need to ask you one more thing."
"Yes?"
"Why are you doing this? How did you find this information? And where are you now?"
Alex smiled sadly again.
"Mia, I am doing this to prevent all of you from dying, and to stop the one I love the most behind all this from doing the biggest mistake of her life."
"The one you love the most? She is behind all this?"
Alex bowed his head, his aquamarine hair shining.
"Her name is irrelevant. And I know this from my own sources…"
"You haven't answered my last question."
Alex looked up.
"Mia, I am not alive anymore. I am a spirit. I am dead."
Mia gasped.
"What? How?"
"That is also irrelevant. But the most important thing is: do you heed my warning?"
Mia thought carefully. Finally, she nodded.
"I do Alex. I believe you."
Alex smiled and took Mia's hands in his. Mia didn't back away.
"Thank you Mia. I will always remember you. Please make haste. Take care and good luck. Goodbye. I'm sorry…"
Alex's voice slowly faded away, as did his body.
"WAIT! Where do we go first?"
"Prox. Find her…she'll know…let your heart guide you…"
"Wait! Who?"
Alex was gone.
"Goodbye Alex."
A single teardrop trickled down Mia's cheek and dropped to the floor.
Mia sat up in her bed, breathing hard."What the hell…" she whispered.
At the same time…Sheba found herself standing beside Ivan in her battle gear, staring at some barren wasteland.
"Sheba?"
"Hi Ivan. Where are we?"
"I dunno…"
"Ivan. Sheba." A great voice boomed.
"Ivan…" Sheba clung to her fellow Jupiter adept, a little afraid.
"Don't worry, I'll protect you." Ivan whispered.
"I am here to warn you of what may happen to this world."
Sheba stared at the barren land. "Are you trying to say that this is what earth will be like?"
"Yes Sheba. Another great evil is arising, and this time, much more powerful. You will meet new and different adepts on your upcoming journey. The problem is, will you go?"
Suddenly, a girl came crawling towards them. She was dirty, her clothes in rags. Her hair was matted, and looked like it used to be blonde, but now it was mud brown.
Sheba knelt down to try and touch the girl, to help her, but her hands passed right through her.
"Remember Sheba, we're not actually here." Ivan reminded her.
"Yes." Sheba stood up again, shaking her head, upset. "Who is she?" she asked the voice.
"She is an adept." The voice answered. Ivan and Sheba's eyes widened in disbelief.
"What happened to her?" Sheba was close to tears. She reached out and held onto Ivan's hand. He squeezed her reassuringly.
"The war." The voice replied. "This is what will happen. This war must be prevented. By you."
"Us?" Ivan gripped Sheba's hand tighter.
"Yes."
"But what …what…idiot would do…this?" Sheba indicated the little girl.
"You shall know soon enough."
The next day…Mia stumbled down the stairs to be greeted by everyone staring at her. She was never up late, but it was almost the afternoon.
"Hi Mia, we've been looking all over for you." Isaac grinned.
"Hey." Mia forced a smile. She noticed Ivan and Sheba weren't there. "Where are Ivan and Sheba?" she asked, reaching her friends.
"Dunno." Jenna shrugged. "We haven't seen them all morning either."
"Oh."
Mia suddenly felt pangs of worry. "Ivan and Sheba." She thought. "They also know."
"Mia, is everything alright?" Isaac asked, frowning.
Mia gave Isaac a small, sad smile. "No, I'm afraid not Isaac."
"Why, what's the matter?" Isaac pressed her for information, genuinely worried.
"I want to wait till I get Ivan and Sheba. Then I have to tell you all something very important." Mia turned to her friends. "Help me find them." Everyone nodded except Garet. They knew that Mia was rarely this serious.
Garet grumbled, "What can be more important than having lunch?"
Jenna hit him in the chest. "Shut up."
Mia, Isaac, Jenna, and Garet ran outside. "Meet me under the tree in the middle of Vale in ten minutes, okay?" Mia called as she raced north.
"You know, I still don't get why this is so important." Garet scratched his head.
"Who cares, just go, you big lump. I'll take east." Jenna ran away.
Isaac grinned, "Yeah, you heard her. Move it Garet!" Garet was about to swipe at him when Isaac dodged and ran west.
"Oh well, guess I'll look south." Garet sighed, and ran behind Mia's house southward.
Meanwhile…"They're calling us Sheba."
"I know."
"We should go and see them. Mia also knows something."
"Okay."
Under the tree ten minutes later…"Any sign of them?" Mia asked anxiously as Jenna ran up to her and Isaac.
Jenna shook her head. "No, sorry."
Mia fidgeted. "Where can they be?"
Garet walked up, panting. "I haven't seen them, sorry."
"Mia, I'm sure they'll turn up." Isaac soothed.
"He's right." A male voice said from behind them. Everyone turned around to see Ivan and Sheba coming towards them.
"Guys, thank Mercury you're here now." Mia smiled tightly. "Do you know? I is it true?"
Sheba nodded gravely. "So I'm not the only one…" Mia muttered darkly.
"What's going on?" Jenna ordered.
"Come," Ivan interrupted. "Let's go somewhere quiet and private."
Five minutes later…All six adepts are seated round Mia's dining table.
"So, hurry up and tell us. What's the big commotion?" Garet asked, impatient.
"Well, who should start?" Ivan turned to Mia and Sheba.
"I will." Mia volunteered in a quiet voice. All eyes turned to her as she spoke of her findings, and Alex.
"So Alex is dead…" Garet tasted the words on his lips.
"And these Sol and Luna adepts…what are they?" Jenna pondered.
"But the biggest question is," Isaac murmured, "Is whether we can defeat this new enemy." He turned to Ivan and Sheba. "And your side of this story?" he asked them.
The two Jupiter adepts took turns explaining their dream that they had shared at the same time.
Mia shook her head, her blue hair swinging from side to side, held high on her head with her usual white, ivory clip. "So Alex was definitely telling the truth…"
Isaac looked at her, and remembered what he had heard not too long ago.
"Me and Alex were in love once. Or I think I was in love with him."
Mia's voice echoed in his head. He was afraid that her old feelings for a certain Mercury adept were resurfacing. But right now, there were bigger things to take care of.
"We must alert the others right away." Isaac stood up. "We shall once again engage in battle, this time with our new enemy, and we shall be victorious, for the sake of this world!"
Jenna grabbed Isaac and shoved him down. "Isaac, Isaac, Isaac. Stop playing hero for now. You do realise we have to pack, get ready, remember our teddy bears," she glanced at Garet, who glared back, "and also, my brother is STILL on the rampage. He is obsessed; he hasn't eaten or slept, thanks to two little youngsters. Piers is in Lemuria! And we don't have a ship!!! Hell's sake, we will need at least three days to get ready! And we need to find this lady in Prox."
Isaac nodded. "Then we leave next week."
"Ahem!" Mia coughed. "We don't have a ship!"
"Oh…" Isaac groaned.
"I'm sure our old friend Babi will lend us his ship again." Sheba smiled a little too brightly. "He sure does owe me a favour, doesn't he, for capturing me?"
"Yeah, good idea." Isaac smiled, thinking of Babi's face when they had returned his battered Lemurian ship to him after their last journey. "But he won't be pleased to see us, will he?"
Mia laughed and got up. "Nope, not one bit. Jenna, you try to find your brother and calm him down. Tell him what's going on." She commanded, becoming leader-like and bossy, for once taking over.
Jenna shrugged, "Wish me good luck." And sailed out of the room.
"Garet, tell all our parents about this upcoming…er…adventure." Mia ordered.
"Aye aye ma'am!" Garet beamed and ran off.
Mia shook her head, smiling a little. "When will he grow up?" she murmured.
Mia turned to Ivan. "Could you write a letter to Piers please, Ivan?" Mia asked. "I know you're the best at that." Ivan nodded. "And Sheba, you go with him, and when he finishes writing the letter, get Flash to send it to Piers."
Sheba nodded and followed Ivan out of the room to get her recent pet eagle ready for flight.
"And Isaac, you and I will find Kraden. He needs to be informed of these events, and I'm insisting he does not come with us. He is too old for this! And I need someone to look after my horse, Azure…and I need to organise what we are taking there. We are not going to bring the whole of Vale with us…" Mia muttered as she swept away.
Isaac shook his head, grinning slightly. "When did she get so bossy?" and followed her.
The next week…Isaac and co. waved to their family and friends as they departed from Vale. Kraden looked at Azure. "Those kids get all the fun. And what do I get? I get to look after a dumb horse!"
At this point, Azure whinnied and kicked Kraden hard in the backside and sent him flying.
"Look, we get fireworks on our departure!" Sheba pretended to wipe away an emotional tear as she pointed to Kraden sailing through the air. Everyone laughed and set off, ready for their adventure to come.
But one person wasn't happy. "I won't be seeing those idiots for months now!" Felix whined to his sister. "I can't get revenge! Look at my hair, it's still green! It won't go away! And every villager looks at me and laughs! I can't seem to find those two!"
"Quit your moaning, Felix." Jenna muttered as her fellow adepts stared at her brother. "You're attracting quite a lot of attention. You have to let your mouth go at the wrong times, don't you?"
"Anyway, you'll get a chance to kill Aaron and Kay when we get back." Garet pointed out.
"If we get back." Isaac muttered darkly.
"Stop being such a pessimist!" Mia nudged him.
"I can't help it!"
Felix groaned and settled down in defeat, but he glared back at Vale. "When I get my hands on you, Kay and Aaron," he thought, unhappily touching his green hair, "you will pay!"
At Tolbi, a few days later…"You want my ship…again?" Babi's eyes were huge.
Jenna smirked. "Yeah, we do. And anyhow, you owe Sheba here a little favour for capturing her, don't you." She pointed to Sheba, who just smiled at Babi innocently.
Babi fainted in his chair.
"I guess we'll take that as a yes then Babi." Isaac grinned. "We knew you would co-operate. Thanks, we know where she is." Isaac and co. walked out.
One day later…Mia was inside the ship, cooking, while Sheba and Ivan were steering the ship with the orb towards Prox. Isaac and Garet were sparring, Jenna sleeping in the sun, and Felix was pacing up and down on the deck, musing, his hair still as green as ever.
Suddenly, Felix heard a noise coming from the pile of sacks of food covered with a moss green wrap at the mast of the ship. Suspicious, he edged towards it. He heard some muffles. "Infiltrators?" he thought, alarmed. Felix immediately, but slowly, pulled out his sword. He approached the covered area cautiously, then, in a swift motion, whipped off the wrap to reveal…Kay and Aaron, crouching.
"YOU!" Felix yelled.
"Run, Aaron, run!" Kay screamed, quickly getting up and sprinting away.
"I'm running, I'm running!" Aaron replied, following his sister.
"COME BACK HERE, YOU FREAKS!" Felix cursed, chasing after them.
"Hey, what's all the commotion about?" Isaac stuck his head round the corner to find two children chased by a furious, green haired Felix. Isaac smiled and frowned at the same time.
Garet prodded Isaac. "So, what is going on?"
Isaac turned to his best friend, "Sorry pal, looks like Kay and Aaron followed us and sneaked onto our ship.
"WHAT!?!" Garet shrieked. He dropped his sword and raced after his siblings along side Felix. "KAY! AARON! I CAN'T LOOK AFTER YOU ON THIS JOURNEY, YOU KNOW! HOW DARE YOU SNEAK ON! THIS ISN'T A GAME! THIS IS SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!"
"I'm glad you also feel the need to express yourself." Felix groaned sarcastically, covering his ears.
Isaac sighed and went below deck to talk to Mia.
"Hey, Isaac! What's the racket about?" Mia asked, a little miffed.
"Kay and Aaron snuck onto our ship. They obviously followed us here."
"Oh no. This will be a dangerous quest though…I don't want them to get hurt, but if we take them back now, the probability of them listening to us to stay in Vale will be zero and it would waste precious time." Mia sat down and pushed a piece of hair out of her eyes, now worried.
"Don't worry Mia." Isaac sat down in front of her. "I'll make sure that they'll come to no harm, okay? I promise."
Mia nodded. "I'm sorry, but I can't help worrying…"
Isaac lifted Mia's chin with his hand and looked her in the eye. "Trust me Mia. Everything will work out fine." He gave her a soft kiss on the lips, smiled, and helped her up.
Mia smiled back. "I'll get back to preparing dinner. I need to make more now I know we have two naughty stowaways."
"What are having tonight?" Isaac asked.
"Chicken." Mia answered, washing her hands. "Do you wanna help me, or go and settle what is happening outside?"
"I wanna help you, but I think it'll be best if I do the latter." Isaac sighed and climbed towards deck.
What Isaac saw next made him laugh. Kay and Aaron had been tied to one of the poles on the ship with some rope, and Felix and Garet were threatening them with their weapons.
"I didn't hear you!" Felix yelled in Kay's face.
"Sorry, okay!? Now let us go, your hair reminds me of sick!" Kay retorted.
"My hair is like this because of YOU!" Felix screamed, spit flying.
"Guys, that's enough." Garet glared at them.
"I think this has been our most successful prank yet." Aaron whispered to his sister. "We not only got Felix to say a few sentences, we got him so angry he wants to murder people. This should be recorded, "Felix Speaks At Last Due To Two Kids Who Made His Hair Green!" That would be cool."
Felix pointed his sword at Aaron's throat as Kay stifled a chuckle. "I heard that."
Before Isaac could say anything to calm the Venus adept down, however, Aaron emptied his stomach all over Felix.
"Oh…my…god." Garet looked on.
"Aaron!" Isaac groaned.
Aaron looked up, his face green. "Sorry, I'm not good on ships."
Felix just stood there, his face void of emotion. "Thank you very much." He muttered, eyes glaring at Aaron.
"Whoops." Aaron smiled sheepishly.
Princess Viv: So, that's the end of this chapter…joy. That took long enough.
Please review! I would appreciate it a lot. Please?
