Upon arrival to Hakonisia Peak, they went inside an old house with an old man named Koton.

"If you're looking for road passes, it's 100,000,000 Gald per person." Koton explained.

"100,000,000 Gald? You're taking advantage of people in need when the world is in danger?" Double D asked. "Silence, boy! I'll have you know, I hate men!" Koton shouted.

"That means even those on pilgrimages with the Church of Martal can't make it past here." Raine said.

"Oh, my, you're quite the beauty! If you're on a pilgrimage, you should join in the Asgard ruin tour at the Palmacosta travel agency." Koton told Raine.

"Hey! You're in cahoots with the travel agency!" Genis cried. "Oh, shut up! If you don't have any money, then get out of here!" Koton shouted. Every boy in the room left the scene.

Outside the little house, there were citizens of Palmacoasta. "Why are there people from Palmacoasta?" Sonic asked.

"Excuse me? Is there anything wrong?" Double D asked. "You don't know?" a woman asked.

"You all would be better off waiting here for a while. No matter what, you should stay away from Palmacosta." a man said. "Did something happen?" Lloyd asked.

"The Desians are headed for Palmacoasta." another woman said. "Plus, they say the leader of the nearby human ranch, Magnius, is with them." a man said.

"Maybe it's best to head for Palmacoasta to see the situation." Double D said. At this time, the girls came out of the house.

"Everyone, Koton said that he will let us read the Book of Regeneration if we brings him the Spiritua Statue from the House of Salvation." Colette said. "That's great and all, but Palmacoasta's in danger!" Sonic said. Everyone started to head for Palmacoasta.

Upon arrival they spotted two people with ropes on their necks on a hangman. The two people were Cacao and Eddy.

"Eddy!" Double D and Nazz shouted. "You know him?" Lloyd asked. "He sold us that Palma Potion earlier." Double D said.

"Out of the way! Lord Magnius is approaching." A Desian said as a man in purple with red hair came in the scene. "It's Magnius from the eastern ranch!" A man cried.

"That's LORD Magnius, vermin!" Magnius said, as he grabbed the man's neck and broke it, thus killing him.

"This woman and this boy defied the wishes of the great Lord Magnius and refused to provide us with supplies." A gaurd said.

"Therefore, while the designated death count has been exceeded, we have been granted orders to carry out these people's execution!" another gaurd said.

"Dammit! Why isn't the city militia doing anything to stop this?" Lloyd asked. "Most of them are out on training exercises right now." a man explained.

"Those mean Desians had chosen the right time to attack." Cream said.

"Mom!" Chocolat yelled as she approached the execution site when a Desian told her to stop. "If you interfere, we'll make you suffer in ways that will leave you begging for death!" the Desian said.

"You hink Governor-General Dorr will let you get away with this?" Chocolat asked. "Dorr? Hahahaha! Don't get your hopes up, woman!" Magnius yelled as he started to start the execution. But he didn't because a little boy was throwing rocks at him.

"You…disgusting little vermin!" Magnius said. He approached the boy in order to kill him. "Stop right there!" Lloyd said. "Freeze!" Double D said. They both attacked Magnius and he stopped in his place. The boy ran away to safety. Raine started to talk to Lloyd and Double D.

"Lloyd and Eddward, stop! Do you two want to turn this city into the next Iselia?" Raine asked.

"It's not the same! This city doesn't have a non-aggression treaty with the Desians!" Lloyd cried.

"Lloyd's right. What's the point on going on a quest to save the world if we can't save the people of this world?" Double D asked.

"They're right! I won't just stand here and let this happen!" Colette said.

"…You! You two are wanted criminals #0074…Lloyd Irving and wanted criminal #0075...Eddward!" A Desian said.

"So you're those kids with the special Exspheres! This is perfect! After I take those Exspheres from you, they'll make me the leader of the Five Grand Cardinals! Get them!" Magnius said.

A Desian started to cast a spell on them. Just when the spell was going to hit them, Genis and Cream stepped up.

"Force Field/Chao Protection!" Genis and Cream shouted as a green sheild appeared to protect them. "Amateurs…" Genis said as he left.

"Dammit! You worthless idiots! Enough of this! I'll take care of this woman first!" Magnius said.

The floor below Eddy and Cacao opened and the ropes started to choke them. "No!" Colette yelled. She then threw a chakram and cut the ropes choking the two victims. Kratos then slashed Magnius leaving him wounded.

"Let us respect the wishes of the Chosen." Kratos said. Everyone in town was surprised that the Chosen is there to save them.

"Do you all realize what you're doing? If you defy the Desians, this city may be attacked just like Iselia." Raine explained.

"That's right! And I know full well what I'm doing! I won't repeat the same mistake again. I'll destroy them all, the entire ranch!" Lloyd said. "Lloyd, that's insanity." Raine said.

"They're only after Colette, Double D and me anyway. And besides, we have the Chosen on our side! The savior who will regenerate the world! Right, Colette?" Lloyd asked. "Yes! Colette's here to save us all!" Nazz cried. "I give up. You're all hopeless… But I'll help, since I'd be worried about you otherwise." Raine said.

"Thank you Professor Sage!" Double D said.

"Damned little…enough of this crap! I'm leaving them to you, my puppet. Get rid of them!" Magnius ordered. "Yes Lord Magnius." a voice said in a monotone voice. It belonged to a yellow fox with two tails. To Sonic, he looked familiar.

"Tails!" Sonic yelled. "He's your puppet?" Double D asked. Magnius vanished from the scene. "Tails, how could you?" Cream asked.

"Something's wrong with him! His eyes are red! He's being mind controlled!" Lloyd said. "You will all die for defying Lord Magnius." Tails said in a monotone voice.

"Miles "Tails" Prower's weapon of choice is some sort of a bazooka that shoots out energy balls when charged up. His only attack is Energy Ball right now. If you get too close, he'll start hitting you with his bazooka. His bazooka can also shoot out elemental missles, but he doesn't have those yet. To tell you the truth, his Energy Ball attack takes a while to charge. In fact, every bazooka shot takes a while to charge. So do as you like." Double D explained.

To tell you the truth, the battle didn't last that long. It only lasted 45 seconds. "I must report my failure to Lord Magnius! I will kill you all next time!" Tails said in a monotone voice again. He vanished from the scene.

"How can my best buddy try to kill me?" Sonic asked himself.

Meanwhile in Chocolat's house with the group inside,

"Thank you so much for saving my mom!" Chocolat said happily. "Don't mention it!" Nazz said.

"I don't know what I would have done if they'd murdered my mom as well…" Chocolat said.

"As well?" Genis asked. "My husband volunteered in Governor-General Dorr's army…and was killed in a battle against the Desians. And my mother…was taken to the ranch." Cacao said.

"It was Grandma that originally founded our shop. We have to protect it, not just for ourselves, but also for Grandma's sake, for when she returns. I'm sorry, but I'd better get going soon. It's almost time for the next Asgard pilgrimage." Chocolat said. "Asgard Pilgrimage?" Genis asked.

"I work at the Church of Martel Travel Agency. But it's not like I believe in Martel or anything." Chocolat said. "Chocolat! How can you say such a thing!" Cacao scolded.

"I know, I know. I'm grateful for the Chosen. But Martel didn't protect Dad or Grandma. Even this time, it wasn't Martel, but the Chosen and her companions that saved Mom. How can anyone believe in a goddess that sleeps while we suffer?" Chocolat asked.

"I understand. But I still think Martel exists." Colette said. "She's right Chocolat. The Goddess Martel exists in all of us." Double D said. "Just believe and you can recieve!" Cream said.

"Well, if the Chosen says so…then I'll at least try to believe." Chocolat said.

"Are there really people that want to go on a trip right after what just happened here?" Lloyd asked. "It's after events like this that both those with and without faith feel the need to go on a journey in search of salvation." Kratos explained.

"That pretty much sums it up. Well then, thank you all very much!" Chocolat said as she left.

As the team started to leave town, a voice stopped them. "Hey!" he said.

"Eddy, why are you here?" Double D said. "I wanted to thank you for saving my butt back there." Eddy said. "Don't mention it!" Lloyd said.

"Listen, is it okay that I join you guys on that World Regeneration thingy?" Eddy asked. "Why? The journey is going to be full of danger!" Colette said.

"I want to save the world because no world means no people. No people means no money!" Eddy said.

"Well, if you care about the world that much, then welcome to our group Eddy!" Colette said. "Let me just get a weapon!" Eddy said as he headed for the weapong shop. He came back with a sword.

"A sword? Honestly, why a sword?" Double D asked. "Because swords are cool!" Eddy said. Everyone rolled their eyes. "I hope you have the skills to go with us." Kratos said.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yep! I decided to make Eddy join the party and introduce Tails as Magnius' puppet. Don't worry Tails fans, he'll be back to normal soon enough. In the meantime, without flaming or being mean, PLEASE REVIEW NICELY!
