Part 4:A huge Mistake

(Thanks for the reviews!Yes La pucelle will be in it as well.For your mentioning reason,True Unknown,I put in Prier and Cullotte at the end!)

The night at Phantom Island was peaceful without a cloud in the starry sky.The wind blew calmy and the peaceful ocean sounds covered the environment.And an amazon keeping watch for the night.As it was her turn.

"Grr...Jasmine...Jas...mine.Don't go!JASMINE!"Ash finally woke up and was in shock,taking deep breaths."That...dream again..."

"Ash!Ash!"Marona knocked repeatly.She then walked in.She was in her pink pajamas and holding a teddy bear."Ash!Is everything okay?"

The phantom looked at the little girl with a worried look on her face."Huh?...Yeah..."

"That dream again huh?About my mom?"Marona held her teddy bear.Noticing Ash holding his pillow.She could tell the dream was serious from the start."Sorry...it's just...I don't know why it's coming back."

Marona smiled."She is in a better place you know.You should be happy!"

Ash still looked depressed.He then turned over."Look I don't want to talk about it now...Just get some sleep.We got to go to Monetopia tomorro for that ingredient request."

Marona looked down."Alright...goodnight Ash."she walked away and closed the door.Ash then closed his tired red eyes."Jasmine...she's still going strong.But I can't stop thinking about you..."


The birds chirped in the morning as the sun was up.Or incase...noon that is.Marona and Ash were just getting ready in their vehicle to go to Monetopia.Marona jumpped down to pick up the brown empty bag on the yellow sand.Then Ash called from inside.

"Marona!I set it up!Let's go!"

"Okay!"the girl then climbed into the vehicle.

Monetopia was crowded as usual.Many people doing erands,shopping,and of course maybe picking up a gift.Under the umbrella was a table.A woman with pink-red hair was sitting.Sienna.Or shall I say,'Scarlet The Brave'.

"Miss Sienna!It's good to see you again."Marona said.Then Ash appeared.Sienna nodded."Thank you for coming."

"So the ingredients.It shouldn't be much right?"Ash asked.Sienna nodded."Just one so this will be a short assignment."

Marona then nodded."What is the ingredient?"Sienna then turned to Marona."It is a flower called the dark flower.It is a flower when eaten with a healthy body,will make you die instantly.However when eaten with a sickly body,you will be instantly heal.It is rumored to be near a 'Dark Gate'.It is for my assistant.It might be more dangerous.But I know you can handle it."

"I understand Miss Sienna.I will bring it back A.S.A.P."Marona bowwed in respect."Wait a minute..."Ash said."Dark Gate...well what are the rumors?"

"Michievious demons sometime get out of it and disturb travellers.But not yet proven.Good thing it isn't like Sulphur's portal..."

"Okay.Let's get going then."Ash dissappeared and both walked away.


Verdant Guardiana was green as ever.Straight green trees shown tall and grown as ever.Ash and Marona walked stepping on the growing thick grass on the island.Ash then stopped."Hmm..."

"What is it Ash?"Marona asked.Ash then crossed his arms."Remember Sienna about the 'Dark Gate'?"

"Yes.What about it?"

"I feel a strange force ahead.And I don't think it's a good one.So we better be careful."

The little girl nodded."Okay."

And suddenly,thunder crackled."ACK!"Marona jumpped.Ash then got ready."It's coming closer!"then the ground shadowwed.He then looked up.Dark clouds appeared.

Marona's thoughts came together."It's...It's the dark gate isn't it Ash!"Ash then paused."...No doubt.We have to go get the flower quickly!"Lightning cracked through the dark clouds and the wind picked up stronger,making the trees wave their leaves.

Before little Marona ran ahead with Ash,scarecrow monsters appeared.They seemed familiar to Ash when they teleported long ago there.

"Dammit!"he cursed.Marona then looked at him."We can't let them get in our way!We have to hurry!"he then nodded."Right."

He loosened his red scarf and took out his sword.He glowed in a blue-purple aura.

"You'll go no further!For her sake,I will not fail!"he rushed in and stabbed a monster with his sword and picked it up with it."FLYING BOMB!"he threw the monster down where the other two were.They bounced up in the sky and disappeared.

"Come on!"the little girl ran ahead."Marona!"Ash ran ahead to catch up with her.

They ran further,getting closer to the dark power,not knowing the risk.The darkness became closer,and thunder crackled more than ever.Ahead,they saw a purple ball,getting bigger and bigger each minute.Marona saw the purple flower.

"The Dark Flower!"Marona ran to get it.Ash then yelled."Marona,get back here!It's too dangerous!"Marona then turned around and smilled in determination."I'll be fine,Ash!Don't worry!"she then walked closer.Before she bent...

Yellow lightning struck by her foot.She shrieked and jumpped back to Ash.Ash moved a bit forward,protecting the little girl.The purple ball got bigger,making it into nearly like a dimensional gate.

"Get ready Marona...this is serious!"the man stated.

Windy noises were heard.The darkness became more like night.Black lightning surrounded the gate.Then it clashed to the ground,making a small dark figure appear.It seem to have nearly the same red scarf as Ash.Blue hair with attennas appeared.Then the whole figure came out of the darkness.

"HAHAHAHAHA!Finally opened that damned portal to get here!"a familiar yet annoying voice was said.

"Wait a minute..."Ash stopped.Marona then looked closely."It's that little bratty boy!What's he doing here?"

"Huh?"he noticed them.Then grinned."Wow this saved the trip.I was looking for you two-"he then paused.And his eyes glowwed yellow and hair sticking up."B-bratty!Oh you'll pay for that!"

Marona then thought for a bit.She remembered the name yet it was so vivid."Hmm...what was your name again..."Ash and the boy sweatdropped."Leon...no that wasn't it.Lee...no...La...La something..."

The boy's impatience grew."IT'S LAHARL DAMMIT!I am Supreme Overlord of Terror Laharl!"he laughed.Ash then pondered."What happened to the phantom part?"

He then growled in anger."I noticed you two faked that time when I thought I defeated you!"he then immitated a quote made by Ash."'ARG!I AM DEFEATED!'...jeez that was lame..."

"Eheh..."Ash was embarassed.Laharl then glowed in dark power,holding his sword."Now this time,I'm not going to take that!When you die,YOU DIE!And I'll be Supreme Phantom Overlord of Terror!AHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Oh no!Ash what do we do!"Marona paniced."Let's run!He's stronger than before and we can't take him!"He grabbed Marona's hand and both ran for it.Laharl just laughed louder.He held red-orange orbs of power over his head.He then raised it.

"BITE THE DUST!"He threw them ahead.


"Hurry Marona!"Ash ran faster holding her hand.Then the orbs came infront of them,exploding to the ground.They yelled and jumpped back,falling to their knees.After the dust cleared,all they saw was a huge crater.

"T-That was close!"Marona took huge breaths.So did Ash.A grin was heard."That was just the beginning little girl."they both got up to their feet.

"It's time to die now!Both of you!And when that happens,I'll be Supreme Phantom Overlord of Terror,and I'll take this weak world of yours with me!"

"Damn him..."Ash growled.Marona then stepped forward."But why!What have we ever done to you!"

"Done to me!You made me wasted a battle!And no one,no one fakes a battle with the Great Laharl!"He then took out his Diabolic Sword again.Marona looked down."If that's what you want..."

"Marona!"Ash looked at her.

She then glowed in a green aura."Valiant Phantoms,aid me in battle...Chartreus Gale!"

Laharl looked at her surprised..then he just laughed."What another measly phantom of yours?"

A figure appeared.It had the same blue hair,red scarf,and same face but holding a broadsword.It was the Laharl Phantom the demon prince gave them.

Ash then was excited."Great idea Marona!Fight fire with fire!"

"What the!"he then thought to himself.'Dammit why did I gave it to them!I didn't know they would make it to a warrior...great work Laharl'he then sighed.But then a smirk came to his face.'Wait...that is good.'

"Well well then...let's begin."both Laharls got ready.

The phantom Laharl jumpped in the air and tried aiming his sword to the other Laharl.But the real one jumpped back,and his fist became a firey red.He then tackled ahead but the phantom jumpped back.Both of them jumpped in the air of the speed of light.The clashing was heard in the air.Marona and Ash couldn't see the battle.But in a second...both Laharls appeared on the ground.

The one holding the Diabolic Sword was down.The one holding the broadsword stood up.

"We did it!"Marona jumpped with glee."Now let's go get that flower!"Marona turned but then a red flash was seen.

Laharl impaled Marona through her stomach.The other disappeared.

"Wha..."Marona whispered,her eyes becoming smaller.The blood dripped through her white dress and hands,holding the wound.The little girl slowly fell to the ground.And rain poured down on her body.

"MARONA!"Ash's voice echoed through Verdant Guardiana."AHAHAHAHA!"Laharl laughed loud.

Ash slowly dropped to his knees,and then holding the head of the little girl.Her beautiful eyes wouldn't open.Ash then spoke slowly."Marona...Marona wake up!Please I know you're okay!You're stronger than this!"

No signal of movement.

"Marona!...MARONA!"Ash cried.Tears then dripped from the phantom's eyes."No...Marona..."

"Ah...that was so long when I finally killed someone...more like millions of years!That was great..."Laharl smilled.

Ash then cursed."You...bastard..."

"Huh!How dare you speak to me that way!"Laharl growled,picking up his other sword.

"You killed her...YOU KILLED HER!"he got up."YOU KILLED HER YOU DAMN BASTARD!"he cried angrily."I promised her...and Marona...I would protect her...And now..."he picked up his sword."YOU'LL PAY!"

"Ha!You stupid humans...always sobbing when one dies.Everybody dies!And when I defeat you,I'll finally regain my title.And you'll be in hell with her!"Laharl laughed.

Then a rock was thrown at the boy's head."Ow!Who threw that!"

"Alright Prince that's enough."

"Oh crap..."Laharl said when his fun was interupted.Two tall girls.One with pink hair with skull earings and another with blonde hair with heart earings.

"Dammit!Flonne!Etna!Why the hell you always ruin my fun?"

Flonne then was shocked at Marona.And then glared at the prince."Laharl!Did you do this?"her eyes were in firey rage.

"What do you think?"he grinned.Etna then noticed the tall man.She thought to herself.'It's...it's him again!That guy who looks just like prince!'she then shook her head.'Snap out of it girl...'

Flonne then interupted her thoughts."Etna!We need to take the girl back and heal her!"

Etna blinked."Huh?Oh right..."

"Wait a minute."Ash said."Why should I trust you?"Etna put her hands on her hips."Well pretty boy,you have no choice.You can either bury her right now or we can give it a shot at healing her."

"...Hmph.Fine."Ash said.Laharl then interupted the conversation."Wait a minute!I'm suppose to kill them both!I'm not letting you get in the way!"he growled.

Etna and Flonne looked at eachother.The pink-haired vassal then said."Flonne.Plan B now."

Flonne showwed her sweetest smile."Peace and Love."

"GAACCCK!"Laharl collasped to the ground,shivering.Etna giggled."I always wanted her to do that."Ash then sweatdropped."Uhh...okay..."

"Anyways we better hurry now!We'll make sure she'll be fine sir!"Flonne smilled.Ash had no choice.Then he nodded."Alright."he then slowly picked up Marona's body.
