Author's Notes
Well its really hard to write nowadays, considering that I have school and that I'm working with 3 stories at the same time! On the positive side however I plan on making this a romantic chappie. Comments on romance and clicheness shall be accepted, so comments shall be accepted, just no flames. Going to the chappie. Note: Been reading some Sheba X Felix fics… it's a good pairing but… just a bit strange. Felix is 3 years older than Sheba, how can they make a pairing? Sorry to those who like these pairings but it just wouldn't add up. I will however put a little bit of it, but It'll change pretty fast.
Windy Friendship
As they struggled to climb as fast as they could, Ivan could only worry about Sheba.
-"Ivan, are you ok?"- Piers asked Ivan as they hurried towards the top
-"Piers… Sheba…"- started Ivan but he was cut off by Garet
-"Ok guys, here's the plan: We'll split into two teams, Ivan: You and Piers go together. I'll got with Mia and Jenna"- said Garet
-"You just want to go with the girls Garet"- said Piers. Mia and Jenna couldn't help but giggle. Garet blushed deep red
-"That's seriously low Piers. I have to protect these young woman and…"- said Garet but he was cut off by Piers
-"Whatever loveshot. Ivan and I will climb the lighthouse, you and the girls wait below and if you see him, attack him with all you got"- said Piers, Garet blushed again but agreed. He started to descend from the lighthouse with the girls.
-"Yo Garet, behave yourself around those fine ladies! Ivan where was I? Ah yes, is something the matter?"- asked Piers. Ivan looked down
-"Its Sheba. I'm worried about her Piers… that monster could harm her…"- said Ivan
-"Ah young love, if I weren't… well never mind. We will save her Ivan, I promise you this"- said Piers
-"…Thanks"-
-"Not a problem, now let us hurry, the top is close by"- said Piers. Again they started climbing the lighthouse.
Meanwhile back at the light world, Ian had made a full recovery on his body. Athurn and Felix were practicing outside with they're swords. Marcus had gone out to get some healing herbs just in case, Max was watching the sky and Isaac was sleeping on the floor. Isaac had dreamed about seeing Mia hurt, he now feared so much it was hard for him to sleep at nights. This time however he managed to catch his sleep.
-"Another round Felix?"- Athurn asked Felix
-"Ok, Its tied 4 – 4"- said Felix
-"Whoever reaches 10 wins"- said Athurn. Felix agreed and they resumed they're practices. Once or twice they're attack would splash and hit Isaac, waking him up. Other times it hits Max making him really angry. But as some time passed they were tied 9- 9. They were so good that it was hard to pick a winner.
-"Ok last round, winner take all"- said Athurn
-"Alright"- said Felix. As they were about to begin Marcus returned in a hurry and anxious.
-"Marcus, what's going on? Are you ok?"- Max asked Marcus as soon as Marcus halted
-"Its Chaos, he's coming. And he isn't alone, there has to be around 10,000 Alchemic Beings with him"- said Marcus panting
-"What? We have to leave"- said Max
-"Hell no, were going to fight them"- said Athurn immediately
-"Athurn have you even been listening? There's more than a 1000 of them. Not even you can take them down. We have to escape somewhere safe"- said Max
-"There's no where to hide. I know we can take them…"- said Athurn but he was cut off by Ian
-"There's no chance of us winning Athurn. We have to leave. As for our escape route, well I'll explain once we get to the Throne room. Lets go"- said Ian
-"Isaac! Wake up, we have to leave"- said Felix shaking Isaac intensely
-"Five more minutes…"- said Isaac
-"Wake up NOW!"- screamed Athurn appearing on Felix's side
-"Ah! Don't do that man. I'm awake what's up?"-
-"No time to explain, follow us"- said Felix. Isaac reluctantly followed them. They reached the Throne room in mere seconds.
-"Well, what are we going to do here?"- asked Athurn
-"Do me a favor Athurn, slash the throne in half"- said Ian
-"Ok, but if father gets angry it'll be your fault"- said Athurn as he unsheathed his sword. He ran fast and with one swipe sliced the throne in half just like Ian wanted. Below the throne was a trap door.
-"What the… that wasn't there before"- said Athurn
-"This leads to the castle's catacombs… it can take us directly to the Alchemic Being's castle but…"- said Ian
-"This was here and we never used it! This could've won the war years ago. Do the AB know about this?"- asked Athurn
-"No… but these catacombs are Very, very dangerous. They are filled with evil monsters and sirens. Father said to use it only in an emergency, this counts as one"- said Ian. He opened the trap door. It lead to what seemed like an underground swamp. It was very damp and it stank also.
-"Are these catacombs or a jungle?"- asked Isaac
-"Mostly a swamp, we have no options however"- said Ian. They all knew this was true. Without wasting anymore time the all jumped into the underground catacombs.
Finally Piers and Ivan managed to make it to the top of the lighthouse. Here they saw Matt chocking Sheba on the edge of the lighthouse.
-"Matt! Let her go!"- said Piers
-"Heh, I would but… it looks like a loooooooong way down, but if you insist"- said Matt
-"No, wait. Perhaps we can make a deal"- said Piers
-"I'm listening"-
-"Give Sheba back to us and I shall fight you alone"- said Piers
-"Piers what are you saying? You…-"
-"Be quiet Ivan, you tend to Sheba's injuries. Let me deal with him"-
-"But…"-
-"Alright, sounds like a fair trade, I'll win though, you can't beat me, no one can"- said Matt. He threw Sheba over to Piers and Ivan.
-"Sheba! Please be ok"- said Ivan trying to fell her pulse
-"Dew, come forth"- said Piers
-"Yes, master?"- said the little Djinni Dew as he appeared out of nowhere
-"I wish for you to heal Sheba"- said Piers
-"Very well master"- said Dew and just like Sparks he managed to revive Sheba.
-"ugh… Ivan… Did Felix… ugh… return?"- asked Sheba, Ivan's heart almost broke apart. To know that the girl he loved was in love with someone else. A tear came down his cheek.
-"Are… you ok?"- asked Sheba
-"How… can you love Felix…"- said Ivan
-"I just…"- said Sheba but she was cut off
-"Sheba I love. I can't help to feel angry and frustrated by hearing this… Sheba I love you way too much. Please Sheba… I know I can be as good as a man as Felix will ever be. I know that I can be a great friend and more to you. How can you love Felix… but not love me? How can you love someone… that is older than you and not love someone who's your same age? Your way too beautiful to lose you to someone Sheba"- said Ivan. Tears came down his face, Sheba couldn't believe what she was hearing, and without any warning she embraced Ivan. Ivan also embraced her. This made something change in Matt
-"No… How can this be? She's dead, I can't remember her anymore, she's dead, she's dead, she's dead"- said Matt over and over again
-"Wha… what are you saying? Are you ok? Matt!"- said Piers looking at him. However Matt just jumped of the lighthouse and disappeared from sight.
-"What happened… it was as if seeing Ivan and Sheba hug each other… made him remember someone… that's it! Of course why didn't I see it before?"- said Piers
-"What didn't you see Piers?"- asked Ivan finally letting go of Sheba
-"Let us regroup, I shall explain later"- said Piers and they jumped on the elevator to regroup with Garet and the girls
