From Radiata to Fire Mountain

It was a sunny Saturday morning in Radiata; Jack Russell was fixing his Iron Breastplate armor as his Rune Sword was attached to his waist. He smiled at himself in the mirror as he made superhero poses. He laughed at himself as a knock on the door interrupted him. 'Who could that be?' he thought as He looked at the door and slowly walked toward the door. He took out his Blaze Sword and steadied himself as he opened the door quickly and swung at the person.

The person jumped back as the sword hit the ground. "Really, Sarge, you should ask who is it first." A male voice that sounded really feminine said. Jack looked at him to see Felix, a Vareth student. Felix stood there under the sun with his long, silver hair glistened as his light-tan robe reached to his knees. "Oh, hey, Felix, what's happening?" Jack said as he walked towards him and stopped. "Nothing much. Anyway, Thanos told me to tell you that the Acht squad has a B-mission from Ms. Anastasia of the Olacion Order." Felix said as he handed the written request.

Jack took it and read it silently. "There's nothing on here, but her name and her location." He said as he showed it to Felix. "I know. Thanos said that Ms. Anastasia had no time to write since she is a high priestess and all." He replied with Jack rubbing his head. "High-priestess! She's not the queen, here!" Jack exclaimed not believed. "That was what I said, but Thanos told me that a high-priestess is a higher rank than a general." Felix said as he brushed his hair back.

"So, what does she want? Another crocodile hide for her collection of purses?" Jack questioned with a laugh. "No, she needs a flame phoenix's feathers for her gown she'll be wearing to the castle ball night after tomorrow." Felix said as he held up a small picture. Jack looked closer at it and saw a big, red, bird with a long, small beak, long talons, and feathers that looked like flames. "Wow. I never seen one or heard of one before." Jack said in amazement.

"Of course not, because it's one of the new species that appeared from Fire Mountain." He said as he put the picture back in his pocket. "One of the new species?" Jack asked in wonder. "Oh, yeah, there are 7 new species that appeared from the mountain that lives on the rocks or in caves. There are Flame Phoenixes, Fire Wolves, Magma Shells, Lava Salamanders, Volcano Crabs, Smoke Scorpions, and Ash Lizards." Felix explained as Jack looked funny. "My, my, where did they get those names from?" he said as he laughed a little. "They sound funny, but I like Flame Phoenix and Fire Wolf. Felix said as he brushed his hair again.

"So, all we got to do is to capture a flame phoenix and get its feathers." Jack said again. "Yes, she said it had to be a female since its feathers are pink and red." He said as Jack spoke up, "How much is she going to pay us for the feathers?" "She said it depends on how well the feathers are or how they glisten." Felix said as his blue staff was held by his right hand. "It sucks." Jack said with his head bowed down. "Anyway, the Acht squad will be waiting for you at the Lumpus Gate. See ya." Felix said as he walked away and upstairs to the main road.

Jack looked calm as he slammed the door shut and walked away towards the Blade Pharmacy. After 5 minutes, he came out with his pockets full of medicine in case. He ran from there, past Theater Vancoor and the weapon store, and ran on ahead past a Light Guardsman. He ran on the bridge until he reached the end where he saw Sonata and Felix, his Acht squad, and Elena. 'Elena? What's she doing here?' he thought as he walked over to them.

Sonata was standing near Felix with his head down until he raised it up to see Jack. "Hello, sir Jack." He said as Felix nodded greeting. Elena looked at him as he looked at her. They both stared at each other for a minute until he turned his head towards Felix, who looked confused. "What is SHE doing here?" he questioned as Elena looked annoyed. "If you really want to know, I'm here to assist and watch over you as you recover the phoenix's feathers for Lady Anastasia." Elena said proudly as Jack looked annoyed.

"What? So you're coming with us! Felix, did you now this?" Jack questioned Felix as he stood there calmly. "No, I didn't until now. She just appeared as we were waiting for you." He said as he waited for something to happen. Elena coughed to get his attention as he turned around. "Lady Anastasia doesn't trust since that crocodile incident. She sent me here to watch after you so you won't do anything stupid with the beautiful feathers of the flame phoenix." She said as she smirked at the steaming Jack. "She doesn't trust us? Then why can't she go over to Fire Mountain, get a flame phoenix, take its feathers, and go back home?" he asked suspiciously.

"Are you kidding! She wouldn't DARE go over there and pick a fight with a powerful bird since she is a high-priestess, duh." She said as she turned her back towards him. "So, then why can't she go? Unless one of her assistant priestesses has a fear of fighting a bird." He said with a smirk. She looked alarmed as she turned to face him and said, "None of us has a fear, you idiot." "Are you sure? All I know is that Adina doesn't have one because Nalashay told me that she doesn't fear anything, but you. You're a whole different story." He said with a smile on his face.

Felix and Sonata stood there with amusement on their face. "T-There is nothing I fear!" she stuttered angrily. "Are you sure? Then, why are you angry all of the sudden?" he questioned with anticipation. "Because you're one annoying brat, who cares that I have a big fear of a giant fiery bird that will kill me like the one in my dream." She said as she realized what she said and covered her mouth with her hand. The guys had a wide smile as Jack said, "See, it doesn't hurt to tell the truth."

"Alright, already." She said as she put her hand down. "I won't go through a fight like the one in my dream." She said scared. "If you don't want to dream that again, then fight it once and for all to rid the fear away." Jack said like a wise sage. She smiled and said, "Thanks, in the matter of face, I'll just tag along and fight with you." Felix looked at his watch and said to Jack, "Jack, we better go before sundown." "Oh, that's right!" he exclaimed as he realized. "Should we go right now to the bridge?" Elena questioned as she pointed towards the open road.

"Are you kidding? We don't go by foot unless a reason, we go by pig journeying." Jack said as they walked over to the journey pig and touched it with his hand. The pig glowed with light as they were lifted off the ground and disappeared into thin air. They were all up in the air as they landed in front a different journey pig. "So, is Fire Mountain here?" Elena asked curiously as she looked to see weird-looking trees, orange dirt roads, and big rocks. "No, it's in the next region. We're in the connected region to the Fire Mountain." He said as he walked in front of a big tent and looked up.

"Let's go before we get tired." Sonata said as they walked inside the tent's opening. They walked in to see little, green goblins running around chasing little creatures with a sheet on their heads looking like a mini ghost. "Where are we?" Elena asked confused. "We're in Shangri La. This is the goblin town." Jack said as they walked down the road with small, wooden houses along the way. As they walked past an empty house, a small ghost-like mini creature came out and ran after Jack and his friends.

The little creature ran past their legs until he jumped and tugged on Elena's right leg. She looked down alarmed and screeched loudly as she waved her leg around and the little creature got thrown against a big rock. It slid down till it hit on the ground. "What's the matter?" Jack asked as he ran back to Elena, who was shivering. She lifted her hand and pointed at the creature. "Oh, you mean him." He said as Felix and Sonata were looking at Hob's elefant eating hay. "What do you mean, 'Oh, you mean him?'" Elena questioned him angrily. "That thing attacked me!" she exclaimed angrily.

Jack helped the creature stand up as the creature jumped happily. "Boo-jabob." It said in a weird language. Elena looked at it confused and asked Jack, "What did it say?" "It said thank you for helping me." He told her as the creature said, "Boo-jabob, bob-jabob?" "Oh, yeah, Elena, this is Boo, and Boo this is Elena." He introduced as she bent her knees down and waved as Boo waved back. "It's cute and has a cute little language." She said as Boo jumped up and down joyfully. Jack took out an empty bottle and gave it to Boo. Boo looked at it and hopped excitedly and exclaimed, "Boo Boo Boo-Jabob!" It took it and hugged it close like a treasure.

Elena stood up and looked at him. "What did you do?" she asked curiously. "I gave Boo an empty bottle." He said calmly. "Why?" she asked. "He likes empty bottles and I give it to him every time I come and visit." He said as Boo stopped hopping. "Boo-Jabob!" he exclaimed as it ran towards home, stopped, turned around, waved them good-bye, and ran back home with the empty bottle. They looked at Boo's place until Felix called them over, "Jack, Elena!" They stopped and ran over to the exit of Shangri La.

Felix and Sonata were waiting by the exit as Jack and Elena were running towards them and stopped. "What's happening?" he asked. "I spotted a flame phoenix flying above Fire Mountain, it's a female and it's heading toward its nest." He said as Jack thought. "Alright, we'll go and catch the phoenix." He said as Elena stopped him. "How are we going to get her down from her nest? The flame phoenixes won't come down that's why they can't get to them." She said as she put her hands to her hips.

"I'll figure how once we get there." Jack said as he started walking towards Fire Mountain Felix and Sonata looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and walked behind Jack with Elena with them. They walked on and on until they encountered a made-bridge at the end. They stopped as Elena looked around until she saw a big piece of aluminum with a big hole on it. "What's that?" she asked herself. She walked over and poked her face through the hole. Jack snickered silently as Felix and Sonata wondered what happened. Jack quietly sneaked over to Elena and swiftly kicked the aluminum. "Jack! What did you that for!" Elena exclaimed angrily. A big, bright, flash blinded her vision as a small photo flew out of a camera nearby and into Jack's hands.

"You look pretty good in that picture." Jack said as he shown the picture to Elena, who was still blinded. She shook her head and looked at it. It was a tall goblin painted on the aluminum with her face through the hole. Her face went red as she exclaimed embarrassedly, "That is so embarrassing!" "Why not, it was you." Jack joked as Elena got mad. "That's it, Jack Russell!" Elena yelled out. She started to run after him as Jack ran across on the bridge. Felix and Sonata looked at them and started to run also.
