Location: Agria Canyon

As the group left the spirit path they immediately noticed that they were

at the Agria Canyon. Though they only visited a couple times the

memories of the place were clear. " Agria Canyon this place brings back

memories" says Rean " indeed" says Kurt " hey guys i think before we

head on we should decide on who goes this time " says Elliot " huh why

is that?" asks Juna " well don't you think it will be a bit weird if anyone

saw a group of about ten people just walking around?" asks Elliot " Elliot

has a point beside besides now we'll have someone to guard Valimar

and Ordine " says Crow. So the group decides to cut their group in half

one to guard Valimar and Ordine and one to find the missing member of

Class 7. After a bit of discussion the the group that would look for the

missing member would consist of Rean, Altina, Elliot, Laura, and Kurt

with the remainder staying behind" good luck you guys make sure Rean

doesn't push himself to hard alright" says Crow " of course " says Altina

while Rean gives a guilty smile remembering the stress he gave at

Lohengrin Castle and with that the group headed out to find their fellow

member. While traveling along the canyon road it didn't take long for the

corrupted parts on Rean's face to start shimmering that familiar yellow

color causing him to hide his face with his makeshift hood " it looks like

one of those crystals are in this area" says Rean " seems so" says Kurt

" then we should stay on guard we have no idea what kind of effect it

could have on us or the surround area " says Laura " agreed" says Elliot

the group continues walking then Rean notices Altina seemingly

pondering something " what's on your Altina?" Rean asks " hmm oh I

was wondering doesn't it seem like there's a bit of a pattern going on

here?" she asks " how so" asks Kurt " well we every time we reunite with

another member of class 7 one of these crystals or something similar

appears" Altina answers " you know she does have a point" says Elliot

everyone then looks to Elliot curiously " i mean there was me and we

ended up being encountered by those Archaisms with those crystal

shards seemingly appearing all over them then Laura with having one

of the larger crystals as well" Elliot continues " so there is a pattern but

what does it mean " says Kurt " no idea its just another thing will have

to figure out once we get everyone back together" says Rean " agreed"

says Elliot. After about half an hour of traveling the group end up seeing

a crossroad one that continued forward and the other which cut off to

the old Draco shrine they visited. It was at this crossroad that the sense

that Rean gets whenever one of those crystals are near by begins to

pound hard against his mind causing him to drop to one knee in pain

" Rean what is it?" asks Altina who was holding on to his unbandaged

arm worried " th...the c..c.rystal i..is r..e.ally close " says Rean struggling

to speak as he holds his head " but your head is covered how is that

possible? " asks Kurt " maybe each crystal has varying levels of

strength?" asks Elliot " or there could be more than one which would

allow them to break his defense" says Altina " what ever it is we should

we should follow those crystals and destroy them" says Laura " agreed"

says Kurt so the group follows down the path that the signal was

coming from. After a few minutes the group finds were the crystal

seemed to find were the beacon was coming from due to the pain in

Rean's head seemingly decrease almost completely but still being

noticeable and something else. " Is that a campsite" asks Rean " who

would camp next to Draco Shrine?" asks Laura but before any of their

questions could be answered Rean immediately detects three similar

presences two of which seemed to be in the cave but one was closer.

Suddenly Rean immediately runs infront of the group and deflects two

shots from a gun with his tachi immediately putting the group on guard

" whose there " says Rean who immediately notices a person in the

shadows that seemingly vanishes " who was that" asks Kurt " no idea"

answers Rean " but their presence did feel familiar" he ponders. The

group then sees two people come from the shrine who begin looking

up to were their person was. The people then look towards the group

and begin to come closer it didn't take much time for the group to

immediately realize who the two were "Estelle, Joshua its been awhile"

says Kurt " well this is a sight i haven't seen a while " says Estelle " it

been a bout a year I'd say" says Joshua " its good see you two again"

says Laura " yeah long time no see" says Elliot " its nice to see that you

two haven't changed much " says Altina " yeah but whose the guy

behind you?" asks Estelle " his posture looks familar but different " says

Joshua " ha ha I guess it has been a year since we've talked " says Rean

who unveils his hood. There is a moment of silence as Joshua and

Estelle take a minute to register the Rean's current face which is

immediately followed with a gasp of suprise " Rean!!?" they both shout

in surprise and was immediately bombarded with questions from

Estelle. After a minute of Rean barely answering Estelle's rambling

questions Joshua steps in and asks a question that seemed to be on

his mind the whole time this was happening " while I'm happy to see

that your back again Rean but one question has been bugging me how

did you two get back together?" he asks looking towards Elliot and

Laura " huh what do you mean?" asks Elliot " well didn't Class 7 disband

and from the what i heard it sounded like it was permanent " says

Joshua Elliot and Laura both look away somberly " that's actually partly

why we are here were trying to rebuild Class 7 " says Rean who slightly

walks in front of them " right we found out that one of our members

were here" says Elliot " we'll you aren't wrong but" says Estelle whose

eyes look towards Joshua who begins to say" she isn't exactly..." " so

you think you can just repair and forget huh?" asks familiar female voice

Rean, Kurt, Altina, Elliot, and Laura look around for a minute then a figure

jumps from were they were the person that attacked them was from

earlier and lands infront of Rean. It takes a bit due to a slight change in

outfit but he immediately recognized face of his former Jaeger turned

Bracer friend though her expression seemed more stressed and upset

then welcoming" Fie im so glad we found" says Rean " the feeling isn't

mutual " she says immediately getting in his face " Fie is there a

problem?" he asks " you bet there is a problem do you know how long I

waited for you!?" she yells " how heartbroken I was when we split up I

lost a family already and because of you I lose the other one!!!" Rean

immediately looks away from her his guilt being too much for him to

see her face Rean wasn't there at the time but he could imagine her

face Fie then furiously looks toward Elliot and Laura" and you two you

have some nerve being together after what happened all because he is

here!" she says pointing to Rean Laura and Elliot merely flinch in

response Rean turns around and begins to say" Fie I understand why

you fee..." but Fie interrupts him " no you don't you don't understand at

all you weren't there you weren't apart of the argument" She yells and

begins to walk away from the group " good luck trying to bring Class 7

back but I won't be apart of the group that broke my heart" says and

jumps back from were she came from and vanishes from view Rean

then sighs somberly " Rean it isn't your fault it's ours" says Laura" no it is

my fault because my stupid selfish decision" Rean says slightly heated "

I knew the decision was foolish I knew the consequences it would have

on you guys but this" he continues "Rean" says Altina Rean immediately

clenches his fist " but even then we can't give up on her even if she

feels like we betrayed we have to at least show her that we are trying to

fix what happened despite the pain she is feeling right now this is the

only way we can help her heal" he says Kurt, Elliot, Laura, and Altina nod

in agreement " its been a year since he has lead them yet they still feel

the strength in his words " says Joshua " yeah that's Rean for ya huh"

says Estelle " Estelle; Joshua is it fine if we stay here for a while?" Rean

asks " sure we have plenty to talk about" answers Joshua " besides it

was getting abit lonely with it just being me, Joshua, and on occasion

Fie" says Estelle " thank you in the mean time we'll explain to you the

other reason we are hear" says Rean so the group headed back to the

camp that Joshua and Estelle had set up in front of Draco Shrine and

started to talk about the other reason for being here.

( Author's note: for those of you who think Fie's current character is too different from her original character please take into consideration that this is a very stressed and heartbroken version of Fie.)
