Mia: Congratulations! I am so glad you have stop neglecting us Mr. Zen-yuu.
Zen-yuu: Yes. I have stopped neglecting my work and am back to the typing board. XD Gotta love the irony of that statement.
Mia: What irony? I don't understand how that was at all ironic.
Zen-yuu: Common work with me here… I am trying the best I can here… I mean common due to my odd sleeping pattern I am seriously struggling to stay awake and use this creativity… so you will have to excuse the odd humor.
Mia: I see… Well that is a good thing I guess even though you should go to sleep so you can be fully rested and not get sick.
Zen-yuu: Heh… I know ;; Well here is the story.
Chapter 3: Ivan's Dilemma
Ivan sat in his room in the city of Contingo where he had chosen to stay with his sister instead of returning to his home in Kalay with Lord Hammet. He had so much wanted to get to know his long lost sister that he had never realized how much he would miss Lord Hammet and Lady Layana. He so wished to return to his home but they had sent to boat to Lermuria and the Teleport Lapis was somehow lost on the way back from Prox.
Hama then walked in and said "What's the matter Ivan?" "I just miss Lord Hammet and Lady Layana." He said with a sigh. Hama walked up to Ivan and gave him a nice big sisterly hug. "It will be alright, you will see then one day." She then let go and said "Come on we need to go help gather the vegetables that have grown." She then walks outside and out of sight. Ivan got up still slightly saddened about his predicament and then walked out to the field.
When he got there he saw all the people of Contingo in the field picking the medley of different fruits and vegetables growing in the field. He walked over and picked up a basket that was lying next to the apple orchard. He walked up to the trees and started to pick the apples that were ripe enough to eat. Once he got a full basket he went and put it next to the other baskets that were full of apples.
When he put the basket down something shiny caught his eye. "What could that be? He asked himself. He walked over and poked at it. He noticed that it was mostly buried so be began to dig it out of the ground. Once he got it uncovered enough to pull out he did and dusted off the dirt that was still clinging to it.
"This looks oddly familiar." He said to himself. His eyes then widened more then they normally should. He then proceeded to jump into the air shouting "YAHOO!" Hama came running over to him. "What is it Ivan?" She asked inquisitively. "Look what I found." He said holding out the dirt covered Teleport Lapis. "Where did you find this?" She asked. "It was right here." He said pointing at the whole he had dug it out of..
"Well I guess you will be leaving us now" Hama said with slight sadness in her voice. Ivan noticed this and said, "Don't worry. I won't leave forever." He did his hardest to try and cheer her up. Hama wiped a tear form her eye before it could roll down her face and mustered up the best smile she could, "Don't worry Ivan. It just reminds me of when you had to leave as a child and I didn't see you for thirteen years." "I will be back before thirteen years passes; you don't have to worry about that." Ivan said very convincingly. He then suggested, "Why don't you come with me to see Hammet and Layana? Then you don't have to worry about me coming back" Hama thought this over for a few seconds, "Okay I will" she said happily.
The two then grabbed onto the Lapis and said "Teleport" simultaneously and disappeared with a swirling flash of light. The two of them appeared at the front entrance to Kalay.
Ivan skipped happily into the city but then stopped because something wasn't right. "I wonder where everyone is." He exclaimed noticing that no one was out in the streets. He walked up to all the houses and looked to see if he could see anyone but all the shutters were pulled tightly shut and the doors were locked tightly. "This makes no sense," Said Hama "this place is always bustling with people." "We should go to the palace;" Ivan said "Maybe everyone is there."
The two of them walked to the front entrance of the palace. When they got there, there were two smug looking people at the front entrance. "What are you two doing here?" One of them said with a frown on his face. "Who are you?" Hama asked. "That doesn't matter!" The second one barked at her. The first one then said with great pride "We are the Earth Rage bandits." And with that the second bandit hit him over the head for his stupidity.
"B-bandits?" Ivan stuttered. "Yeah Bandits, is there something wrong with that?" said the second bandit. "Where are Hammet and Layana?" Hama said with a forceful tone. "What's it to you chicky?" said the second bandit tauntingly. "Take us to them now or face the consequences." Hama said with even more force than before. All the while Ivan is panicking and babbling to himself. "Ho ho ho… Gotta chick who thinks she can take us down." said the first bandit pulling out his sword.
"Now Ivan!" Hama shouted pulling out her staff ready to battle and the shout making Ivan pull out his sword. "Blue Bolt!" Hama shouted and a bolt of lightning fell from the sky at the first bandit but he backed out of the way causing it to miss. "Earthquake!" shouted the second bandit as he pulled out his sword. The earthquake psynergy cased the ground around Hama and Ivan to shake knowing them over. The first bandit took this opportunity to make a leap for Hama with his sword but Ivan blocked it with his short sword. Hama then got up and shouted "Tempest!" and a giant tornado appeared and blew the two bandits away.
"Now we must save Hammet and Layana." Ivan said with much determination in his voice. He and Hama entered the Palace and headed forward into the throne room. There they saw many bandits and their gruff looking leader.
"Who are you?" The leader said with a smug look on his face. "Who are you?" Ivan said rather angered. "Heh… little boy thinks he's a man," said the bandit with a laugh, "I am Ur the great leader of the Earth Rage bandits!" and then said with triumph. "Where is Hammet and Layana you fiend?" said Hama with disgust. "Ohh… so you are here to save the little merchants, huh?" He said in a babyish voice as to joke Hammet and Layana. "You will let them go or suffer the consequences!" Hama said with force.
"Well if you want to have them back you will have to beat us." Ur said with a chuckle then pulling out his mace. "Ivan you go find Hammet and Layana, I will take care of these fools." Hama said to Ivan and he ran out of the thrown room. "So you think you can just come and take over someone's home and get away with it?" Hama said turning to the bandits.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ivan ran down to the safe where he expected Hammet and Layana would be. He headed down the stairs and saw two bandits there and Hammet and Layana in the safe.
"Who are you?" one of the bandits said being startled by Ivan. "I am there liberator." Ivan said pointing to Hammet and Layana. "Ivan! You're here!" Hammet and Layana said together cheerfully.
"Well you aren't saving them, the bosses orders were to kill anyone who tries to save them" one of the bandits said. He then pulled out his ax and jumped for Ivan. He was so slow with his Ax that Ivan stepped out of the way easily. "Ray storm!" he shouted and it zapped the bandit that attacked him and knocked him out. The next bandit pulled out his sword and said "You are going to pay for that." He then jumped at Ivan just like the other but only he was faster. Ivan blocked the strike with his armband armor and the jumped backward. "Sleep!" he shouted and mystical sheep fell from the sky above the bandit making him fall asleep.
Ivan then ran to the bandit with the key and took it using it to unlock the safe. "IVAN!" Hammet and Layana shouted with joy and hugged Ivan. "Oh my gosh," Ivan stated "I almost forgot about Hama." "You mean Hama is here to?" Hammet asked. "Yeah and she is fighting the bandits in the throne room. They then ran out of the safe room and to the throne room.
"SHINE PLASMA!" Hama shouted and sparks of thunder fell form the ceiling and zapped all but the lead bandit knocking them unconscious. Ur had hidden behind one of the thrones to avoid the thunder. He then walked out from behind it and shouted "Growth!" and vines grew from the floor around Hama tangling her up in a mass of vines.
At this moment Ivan, Hammet, and Layana ran into the throne room. "Oh no!" Layana said looking at Hama all tangled up in the vines. Ivan pulled out his short sword and began slashing up the vines. Hama fell from the tangle and Hammet caught here before she hit the ground. "You okay?" He asked worriedly. "I'm alright." Hama said obviously in pain.
"You will pay for hurting my sister!" Ivan shouted than shouted "Sonic Slash!" And wind flew from his hand and to Ur knocking him into the wall. "Heh… You pack more of a punch then I thought little kid." He said slowly getting up. "Thorns!" He shouted and thorns began to grow around Ivan.
"Tempest!" Hama shouted from near Hammet and the wind blew Ur into the wall again breaking the concentration of his psynergy making it stop. "That was a close one." She said.
Hammet then went and got his guard to put the Bandits in jail. "How were you able to get here so fast Ivan?" Layana asked. "With this." He said pulling out the lapis. "Ohh it is one of those items that has psynergy in it." Layana said looking at it curiously. "It is getting late and you two must be tired from your long day. Why don't you stay here for the night." "Okay." said Ivan with a smile.
Layana then led them to the spare room so they could get good nights sleep.
