Pikachu: Yay. Procne has reviewed. I'm so happy.
Vokteren: More than that. She has also submitted a character to the story and I got an answer for the quiz and a more thoroughly description of her character.
Pikachu: I'm so happy. Procne is among the best writers out on fanfiction.net and she actually liked our story.
Vokteren: Calm down, you could make people jealous. Didn't you have something you wanted to tell anyone who reads this?
Pikachu: Hmm? Oh yeah. (Takes on glasses and get a teacher look) I would like to apologize to everyone for my inappropriate behavior when I wrote chapter 16. I am deeply sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings with my "must have review" attitude. I deeply apologize and the fact that I had written my first chapter all by myself is no reason to talk like that. I had to actually read a certain story in order to understand how irritating and hurting it can be when you demand reviews. Again I apologize from the bottom of my heart and I hope you can forgive me my misdeed.
Vokteren: I forgive you and I'm sure the others will forgive you too. I'll take care of the review reply.
Procne: Thanks for adding a character. Since you're the first one to do so I think I'll keep her around for a while, perhaps even in the sequel. And thanks a lot for asking me before posting Seconds 'til Doom.
Pikachu: This chapter is going to revolve more around Rainbow and Procne's character Aspen than the original team. We're still not going to tell you what happened to Shadow though. Anyway, it's disclaimer time. "We do not own Golden Sun or Pokemon. Aspen is the "property" of Procne and we have the copyrights on the Lifechildren. Any familiarity between the Lifechildren and anything else is asked reported to us for the sake of originality."

Pikachu woke up when something icy cold touched her fur. She opened her eyes and sat up. She looked behind and saw that she had rolled onto a sword. But she hadn't seen that sword before. Had Isaac or Garet gotten themselves a new sword perhaps? She stood up and looked around to see if anyone else was awake. None of the others was, and it wasn't strange considering that it wasn't even sunlight outside. She got back to her place and went back to sleep.
She fell into a dream, no, a nightmare. She was standing alone in a black abyss. No, she wasn't alone. A light shone from far away. Pikachu started to dash towards it and see who or what it was. Despite that she ran as fast as she could, she advanced terribly slowly, as if she was being pushed backwards. When she finally got there she wished she hadn't run at all. It was only a shining orb hovering in the air. Wait, a shining, hovering orb? Something wasn't right. She looked up and tried to find out what was making it hover. And why was there still nothing solid in sight? She tried to jump up and grab it, but it just floated away. She started following it as it flew. Finally it stopped and started to make a light that was to bright for Pikachu to see. She tried to regain her sight, but suddenly she was showed away. She heard a thump and then another one. The light faded and Pikachu saw a short girl with short brown hair and... a Dino. Wasn't they left on Oseania? According to the map Ivan showed her they could never reach them afoot. And what was it with the girl? Suddenly there was another bright flash and when it faded only the Dino was left. The beast turned towards her and showed it's fangs to Pikachu. Then... it spoke?
"Pikachu." A feminine, familiar voice spoke. "Pikachu wake up."
Pikachu opened her eyes and stared straight into Mia's bluish eyes. Mia's worried face melted into a smile. "Did you have a nightmare?"
[Yes. I had. But I don't want to talk about it.] Pikachu looked around to see no one else in the room. [Where is everyone?]
"They are outside and ready to go. Have you forgotten that we are going to visit Uzume today?"
[Oh yeah. I totally forgot. I'm ready to go.] Pikachu literally jumped out of her bed.
Mia smiled and opened the door and looked around. No one was in sight so she quickly carried Pikachu out to the other adepts. The three other pokemon hid in the same bag they had hidden in last time they visited Uzume. The fewer people who knew about them, the better. They rushed through the village and finally found themselves at Uzume's house. When they came there Kushinada opened and let them in. Uzume meet them in the main room of the house.
"Welcome" she said in a calm voice. "You want to know about the heroes who saved our town? Permit me to tell you."
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Rainbow slowly walked on Izumo beach. As soon as "that" happened to Shadow, she, Spirit and Song had gotten there as quickly as they could. They had gotten him to safety and right now Nightmare watched over him. He refused to tell the others exactly what was wrong with Shadow, but he told them that he would tell them when time was right.
"But when is the time right?" Rainbow shouted out to the sea. A slightly strong breeze blew across the ocean and made the waves reach for her, then retreat, reach for her, retreat. She sighed. ¤How can Nightmare not tell us what is wrong with Shadow. We care for him just as much as he does. It isn't fair.¤
Rainbow looked back at the ocean. Somewhere across this vast mass of water, two girls were traveling with two boys and an old man. Those two girls were what four young children and their Pokemon friends was looking for, but they had always been just out of reach. She would love to help them if it hadn't been for the fact that doing so would be wrong. How can it be wrong? She couldn't explain. It just was.
"I never asked for this. Why was it me who got chosen and not someone else?" Rainbow sighed.
"Because you fitted to the task" a feminine voice called from behind.
Rainbow looked behind to see a girl with dark brown hair. She looked around the same age as herself and had dark skin. Not brown, dark. It looked as if she was covered in a thin film of coal dust. She wore a purplish dress that went to her knees and her wrist. Her face looked calm and kind of kind, but her eyes was soul piercing and deep. As if she had gotten space into her eyes. She emitted a strange force, partially elemental, but also something different. Rainbow looked at her with a puzzled look.
"I fitted to the task? But what is the task?"
The girl laughed heartily and friendly before turning her attention back to Rainbow. "Sorry. I just said something to try and cheer you up. Usually when you are chosen to a task it is because you are the one who is best fitted. That is a general rule."
"Oh." Rainbow smiled. "I understand. The problem is that I don't even know what the task is and if I have too much or too little at hand to accomplish it."
"Hmm." The girl raised her left hand to her cheek and tapped it. "There we have a problem. How can you complete a task if you haven't even gotten it?"
"That's exactly what my problem is. I have no idea why I got this job." She was cut short when growling was heard from a nearby bush. She and the girl turned towards the bush, was someone eavesdropping on their private conversation. "Is there someone there?"
The sound and movement stopped, but no one came out. "I don't think it is a human that is hiding there, if someone is hiding there at all."
Rainbow looked back at the girl. Fear shone from her eyes and Rainbow didn't feel too high either. Someone there was hostile to them, she just knew it. She sensed it by the wind. Rainbow looked back at the bush. She waited, waited, and a wolf showed herself. She looked straight at the two children with hunger gleaming from her eyes. Those two would fit as the next meal for herself and her children.
She charged at them as quick as she could. Rainbow was ready to defend herself and that girl, but suddenly vines sprouted from under the ground and held the wolf firmly in place. A stream of water shot from the waves that rose higher and higher as the wind became more powerful. Small bolts of fire appeared around the wolf and hit her, leaving scorch marks. Finally a powerful wind lifted the wolf of the ground and slammed it back down. After that the environment returned to normal, but the damage the wolf had gotten remained.
"What happened?" Rainbow asked the girl.
"I don't know. It has always happened strange things when I'm in danger" the girl replied.
"Strange. But that have to wait. First I have to check on the wolf." Rainbow ran to the poor animal.
"What? She tried to kill you and yet you worry about it?" The girl couldn't believe her ears.
"Yes. It is part of my nature to care for others. No matter what kind of beast it is." She kneeled by the now unconscious wolf and inspected her wounds. She had broken a leg and some places the fur was scorched all the way to the skin.
¤Strange. She actually cares for someone who tried to kill her. Just like my adoptive mother. She is gone now, just like she predicted, but she had left her a set of glowing jewels. Four of them were pretty big. A red ruby, a blue Aquamarine, a purple Amethyst and a green emerald. She said that those gemstones would be very important for her. How I don't know, but this girl seemed to have something to do with them.¤ She hurried over to Rainbow. "Is it bad?"
"Yes. But don't worry. I'll get her back on her feet." Rainbow closed her eyes and placed them on the unconscious body of the wolf and focused. She started emitting a yellow light that slowly pulsed into the wolf. The girl saw that the places where the skin was exposed soon got covered in fur and that the wolf's heavy breathing slowly became more steady and revitalized. When the light faded it looked as good as new.
The wolf opened her eyes and found herself staring straight into Rainbow's ever changing eyes. Rainbow said something that the girl couldn't understand before she stood up. The wolf got back on her feet and ran back in the bushes. "What did you tell her?" the girl wondered.
"I said that we have defeated her once and that she would surely lose again if she attacked us. I said that if she wanted to find food for her children then she had to search a different place." Rainbow looked back at the girl. "But I believe we haven't been properly introduced. My name is Rainbow."
"My name is Aspen. Is Rainbow your real name?" Aspen wondered.
"No. I don't remember my real name. I got my name from the colors that I sustain by existing. But those colors are not the same that inhabits this and many worlds." Rainbow hung her head down.
"Slow down a little. I fell off long ago. You actually don't remember your name and you sustain colors. But what is the difference between your colors and my colors?" Aspen had a confused look on her face.
"That is something I cannot understand. All I know is that it is not the same." Rainbow turned to Aspen. "Do you know what an adept is?"
"Adept? No I don't. What is an adept?"
"An adept is someone who can harness the power of the four basic elements, Water, Air, Fire and Earth. They have the power to both heal and destroy, but doing it is a matter of personal choice." Rainbow looked straight into Aspen's eyes. "I believe that you are an adept with power from all four of the basic elements, but you have yet to control your power."
"Okay. So I have some kind of crazy power that can be dangerous and helpful at the same time. Putting it that way does indeed make sense." She turned to the ocean. "Is there others like me out there?"
"I believe so. If you were to travel the lands of Weyard you could meet many with power like yours. Is that something you wish?"
"Yes. My adoptive mother is gone and I have no one left here on this island. I am ready to move to someplace new. I have no connection to this island, but I can't leave either. I don't have a boat." Aspen sighed.
"Don't worry. You saw what I did to that wolf right? My power isn't limited to healing, but also creating among others. I can get us off this island. I, like you don't have any connection to this land and I also yearn to explore the horizon." Rainbow smiled to Aspen. "I can lead us out in the world, but only if you trust me. Your power is something I have never felt before and yet it is familiar. I could learn a lot by traveling with you."
"Really? You want to travel with me? Well, if you trust me so much then I trust you back." She smiled. "Let's travel the world together."
Rainbow smiled herself. Helping this girl explore herself and the world she longed to explore, would be an experience for herself too. She was about to give Aspen her hand when Aspen took her hand to her head and fell on the beach. Rainbow was over her and shouted her name, but Aspen was deep inside her vision.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"And that is how Jenna, Sheba, Piers and Felix saved our town from the beast." Uzume had just finished her story and the adepts were truly impressed. The pokemon had snuck of to play with Emily and Kushinada because they felt that this was something not for their ears. Isaac was the first to speak up.
"That is truly an impressive story you told us. I had never thought Jenna able to do something like that. She has grown really strong in a short time." Isaac was truly impressed.
"Yes. When we meet them I wonder if they're going to be the same persons we met at Mercury lighthouse." Garet continued.
"Thanks a lot for telling us about your story. I was worried about them, but not anymore. I'm sure we are going to see them again someday." Ivan stood up. "Thanks again, but I think we better get going if we are ever to reach them. Goodbye."
The adepts left Uzume, fetched their pokemon friends (not all too happy having to leave) and left for the ship. Their goal? The Ankhol Ruins near Champa. That was the place where one of the trident pieces were and it was most likely that they where headed there.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Aspen had finally awoken from her vision and sat up. She was sweating and fear beamed from her eyes. She turned to Rainbow and stammered and stuttered as she told her what she had seen. "I-I saw a-a someone h-h- harming s-s-someone else. They are in g-g-grave d-d-danger and need my help. Not now but sometime in the f-f-future. I'm so afraid about who they are and why they need my help."
"Calm down Aspen. I'm sure it is going to sort out all right. I know about someone who could help us out. She is currently far from here, but I'll get us a ride." Rainbow closed her eyes and a little rainbow shot out from her back. It laid itself as a carpet in front of Aspen. It was big enough for Aspen and Rainbow to sit on it and still have plenty of room. Aspen was shocked.
"Incredible. Can it carry both of us?" Aspen asked.
"Yes it can. Climb aboard because we are now headed for" Rainbow began.
"No, wait. I need to go back and get what my mother left me." Aspen turned towards the village.
"I see. I'll wait here for you to return." Rainbow positioned herself on her rainbow carpet and waited. Ten minutes later Aspen returned with a beautifully crafted box under her arm. She got onto the carpet, Rainbow wanted to ask what was in the box, but that would be impolite. "Are you ready for take off?"
"Yes, I think." Rainbow nodded and the carpet flew high up into the sky. She positioned it and it flew off towards Magma Rock, where she could meet Song. At the exact same time as Rainbow reached the horizon, the adepts came and entered the boat. They would reach Ankhol ruins before three days passed.

Pikachu: Another chapter completed.
Vokteren: I hope you people aren't too disappointed about the lack of our main persons in this story.
Pikachu: If you are going to review then telling us about the romance story last chapter would be really helpful. We really need to know how we fare at Romance.
Vokteren: Also even though I give the answer at 20:00 I am going to accept answers submitted before GMT 00:00. I do this because of the fact that upload time and publish time can be far away and I'm pretty sure that this chapter will be posted around GMT 00:00.
Pikachu: I hope today's quiz will be challenging. Goodbye, goodnight and thank you for your time. See you around next chapter.
Quiz answer: The answer of the previous quiz is KRADEN. Currently no one has answered right, but it is still not too late so right answers may still come.
Quiz: What is the first story battle against? It isn't a random monster battle.
