--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At Hakonesia Peak, they were wondering about one thing…
"So now what do we do with the Spiritua Statue thing?" Cream asked.
"I guess we give it to this Koton guy or something." Sonic said.
"No need. Tails has the information we have. He knows where the remaining seals are." Double D said. Everyone started to stare at Tails.
"Tails, why didn't you tell us before and where did you get that information?" Lloyd asked.
"One, you didn't ask. And two, I got the information back at the Palmacosta Ranch before Magnius made me his puppet." Tails explained.
"So we went through all that work FOR NOTHING?!" Eddy shouted.
"Cheer up, Eddy. At least we had fun!" Colette said.
"You're happy about everything you wierdo." Eddy said. Colette was offended.
"YOU'RE SO MEAN!!!" Colette shouted and she hit Eddy on the head.
"Arguing isn't going to get us anywhere. Let's just give the Spiritua statue and get to our destination." Tails said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few minutes later...
"So where's the next seal?" Lloyd asked.
"According to my research, the ancient scripture is Sublime wind, ancient city, the world's… Enshrined in the center of a giant stone seal lurks evil, impersonating a holy force." Tails said.
"What the heck is that supposed to mean?" Eddy asked.
"The Seal of Wind must be…the Asgard Ruin. If we travel to Asgard, we should be able to find some clues." Raine said.
"But how are we supposed to get past those guards?" Genis asked.
"I found this pass in the Palmacosta Ranch. It should get us through." Double D said.
"Perfect! Now let's go!" Lloyd said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They have arrived in the town of Asgard.
"This town is full of ruins. Intriguing! This should indicate any clues about the next seal as well as some history of this world." Double D said.
"Anyway, let's ask some people to find any clues." Lloyd said.
"Let's start by asking that guy." Jimmy said, pointing at a red person. To Sonic, Cream and Tails, that person was an echidna who looked familiar. I just can't put my finger on that guy. Tails thought.
"We'll ask him. You guys ask some more people." Sonic said. Everyone went their own separate ways. Well, all except Sonic, Tails and Cream.
"What's wrong, Sonic?" Cream asked. Sonic just ran ahead of them and the other two followed.
"Hmm?" the red fur, green socked, and multi colored shoes echidna said.
"Hey look! It's Knuckles!" Tails shouted.
"Hey! Sonic!" Knuckles shouted.
"Knuckles! Where have you been? We've been worried." Cream asked.
"What are you talking about? I've been here the whole time! Where the hell have you been?" Knuckles asked.
"We're going on a journey! Wanna come?" Tails asked.
"Sorry, I have to work in this town to get money for a place to stay. I'm just here buying some food." Knuckles said.
"Oh... I was hoping that you'll help us. Our new friends are somewhere in this town." Tails said.
"Yeah. We gotta get back to our journey." Sonic said.
"Are you talking about the journey of World Regeneration? Because I heard the chosen is coming to town." Knuckles said.
"Here. We'll help you." Cream said.
"Thanks." Knuckles said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They were now in front of a staircase and they were now distressed that thou couldn't find any clues.
"Face it! We can't find anything!" Eddy said.
"Yes. This is going to be a difficult task." Kratos said.
"Professor Sage, I'm worr-- Hey. Where did she go?" Nazz asked.
"Oh no. She's off to some ruins." Genis said.
"There she is!" Double D shouted. They started to chase after Raine.
"Oh! It's the Asgard Ruins!" Raine shouted.
"I think this is the seal!" Nazz said.
"Lloyd, state the historical background of this ruin." Raine commanded.
"Well... uhh..." Lloyd stammered.
"It's the temple where Cleo III held a ritual to offer a sacrifice to the Summon Spirit of Wind in order to quell a storm that had raged for a week." Genis explained then turned to Double D. "Isn't that right?"
"Umm... yes." Double D said, nearly revealing his secret.
"Gah! Have you learned anything at all these past five years?!" Raine asked.
"PE and Art and-" Lloyd said.
"Nobody wants to know whether you learned or not, stupid." Nazz said.
"What perfect form! This delicate curve is said to express the flight of the Summon..." Raine explained as she examined the stone dias. She was cut off by Eddy.
"RUINS ARE THE MOST BORING THINGS EVER!! I WANT TO TEAR THING THIS DOWN!!" Eddy shouted as he butted in. Raine kicked Eddy in the chest.
"YOU'RE GOING TO STAY HERE AND LISTEN TO MY LECTURE! AND YOU CAN'T LEAVE UNTIL I'M DONE!" Raine shouted at Eddy. Eddy wimpered.
"This is intresting! Tell us more, Professor Sage!" Double D said.
"Teacher's pet." Eddy said. Growing infuriated, Double D and Genis hit Eddy with their weapons.
"Eddward, I will certainly do. Now where was I? Oh yes. This delicate curve is said to express the flight of the Summon Spirit of Wind through the sky. In addition, it is said that this stone is infused with a large volume of mana, and at night…" Raine explained.
Because Lloyd has been getting impatient by Raine's lectures and Double D's constant comments like, "Interesting!" or "Intriguing!" he snuck away to the other side of the dais to discover two men named Linar and Harley. They had a bomb set by it.
"Listen, Linar! This is my invention, the "breaker." If we use this bomb, we can easily destroy this confounded dais." Harley said.
"B…but, Harley… This is a rare and valuable remnant of the Balacruf Dynasty. We can't destroy it…" Linar said.
"What are you talking about? As things stand now, Aisha may be killed!"
"What are you doing?" Lloyd asked as he appeared at the scene.
"Wha…who are you?" Harley asked.
"It's not what you think! We weren't trying to destroy the ruin at all!"
Raine and Double D heard the whole thing from where they were and quickly approached the scene.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!?" Double D and Raine shouted.
"Guys, they were trying to destroy this ruin." Lloyd said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"What's all the commotion?" Sonic asked as he heard sounds.
"Oh no." Knuckles said.
"What?" Cream said.
"I'm supposed to protect the Asgard Ruin. Who the hell invaded it?" Knuckles asked.
"Oh, my god. Raine, what are you doing." Sonic said to himself.
"Why do you have to protect it?" Tails asked.
"It doesn't matter! We have to stop them!" Knuckles said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the ruin, Lloyd was just finished disarming the bomb.
"Hey, you're pretty good to be able to stop the uncontrollable "breaker"…" Harley said.
"You guys are idiots for making something you can't control." Lloyd said.
"At the very least, the ruin is in one piece." Double D said.
"HEY!!!" a voice shouted.
"Busted." Eddy said.
"Exposed!" Double D said.
"What?" Colette said.
"Oh no! Knuckles is back to punch us! Run for it!" Linar said before he and Harley ran from the scene screaming.
"You guys should never trespass here!" Knuckles shouted.
"Cream, is this person a friend of yours?" Colette asked.
"Yes! Everyone, meet Knuckles!" Cream said.
"So these are your friends? They should think before they came over here in the first place." Knuckles said.
"If you were supposed to protect it, then you're stupid to leave." Genis said.
"Shut up! All of you get the hell out of here!" Knuckles shouted.
"But I wanted to study the ruin more." Raine said.
"GO!!" Knuckles shouted.
"I think that's its best that we leave now! He's being extremely mad." Double D said.
"Don't worry. He always gets angry easily." Sonic said.
"Geez. That Knuckles guy has some anger management issues." Double D said.
"I wonder why those people wanted to destroy the ruin?" Colette asked.
"Yes, the ruin! We have to stop them from engaging in such foolish acts like trying to destroy a ruin. Let's go, Lloyd." Raine said.
"You guys go ahead. We'll rest in the inn. I think we need to rest after that latest battle with Espio, Charmy and Vector." Double D said.
"Me, too." Jimmy, Nazz, Eddy, Cream and Tails said.
"Very well." Kratos said as his group headed for Linar's house.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Double D?" Jimmy asked.
"Yes?" Double D asked.
"Where's Sarah?" Jimmy asked.
"I'm not sure. We're separated from each other in this world. That would mean that Sarah could be in a human ranch." Nazz said.
"I hope she's okay. She's a strong girl. She beat the heck out of Ed once." Jimmy said.
"Listen, I told Genis and Cream about the fact that we came from another dimension." Double D confessed.
"Why?" Jimmy asked.
"Because I know Nazz and I could trust them." Double D said.
Unknown to them, Tails and Cream had been eavesdropping.
"You were right, Cream. They do come from another world." Tails said.
"I told you." Cream said.
"Tails! Cream! Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?" Double D asked.
"Sorry!" the two said as they went back to bed.
"I have a feeling that Cream just told Tails." Jimmy said.
"We better get some sleep, too." Double D said. They all fell asleep to rest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few hours later...
"...up!" a voice said. They couldn't hear it well.
"Wake up!" that same voice said.
"Double D! Nazz! Tails! Cream! Jimmy! Wake up!" Colette shouted.
"Colette, why do you have to wake us up?" Jimmy asked.
"The professor's in trouble!" Colette cried.
"In trouble? How did that happen?" Nazz asked.
"She's at the stone dais. Raine is part of the ritual of sacrifice." Colette said.
Everyone started to run out of the inn and to the ruin.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When they arrived, the battle against the monster had already begun. They had already missed five minutes worth of it.
"Hey! We need help over here!" Lloyd shouted.
"You will not stop me." The monster said. The monster was purple with an axe for a tail. It had a swirl of wind surrounding it.
"Let's see. The monster's name is the Wind Master. It has an axe for a tail. So when it spins, don't get to close. If he started to flip, don't get in front of it. It has a load of wind spells. Those wind spells are Wind Blade, Air Thrust, Wind Slash, Thrust Fang, Energy Blast, and Turbulence. Any wind spells we use to hit the monster will actually heal it." Double D explained.
"Let's get started!" Genis said. Double D casted the first spell of the battle.
"Splash!" Double D called out as waterfalls started to appear to hit the monster.
"Come on, everybody!" Cream said as she started the unison attack.
"Sonic Thrust!" Kratos called out as he thrusted his sword st the monster.
"Sonic Thrust!" Eddy called out as he did the same.
"Limited!" Cream called out as a glyph appeared and a beam of light struck the monster.
"Thunder Blade!" Double D called out as a lightning sword fell onto the Wind Master then discharged, damaging him in the process.
"Follow it up!" Kratos said.
"Cross Thrust!" Kratos and Eddy shouted as they both trusted in a cross formation.
"Watch out for the spell!" Raine said.
The monster had casted the spell Energy Blast. The next thing you know, Cream was incased in a ball of wind. It then exploded, damaging Cream in the process. "Please, protect me while I'm casting!" Cream said.
"I don't need to hear that from you!" Eddy shouted.
"Stop arguing!" Lloyd said. They activated chaos control. During that time...
"Pow Pow Hammer!" Colette called out as she threw four hammers at the monster.
"Freeze Lancer!" Genis called out as icicles started to launch at the monster.
"Keep it up!" Sonic shouted. They did a unison attack at this time.
"Sword Rain!" Lloyd called out as he did a series of thrusts.
"Whirlwind Dash!" Sonic called out as he did a simple, yet powerful, roundhouse kick.
"Eagle Dive!" Jimmy called out as Mr. Yum Yum jumped up and slams vertically on the ground. Jimmy was lucky he didn't fall.
"Icicle Rain!" Double D called out as a cloud appeared and rained icicles.
"I'm ready to try anything!" Jimmy said.
"Frigid Raptor!" Jimmy shouted as he and Mr. Yum Yum became incased in ice after the doll jumped up. He then slams into the monster and did extra damage with the flying icicles when the ice shattered.
"Are you ready to die?" Jimmy said as he wanted to do the honors.
Jimmy let Mr. Yum Yum did a punch, then Nazz did one, Sonic did one also, and Double D whacked with his slingshot. Jimmy let his stuffed animal do a very devistating punch.
"That should take care of that." Jimmy said. But the monster was still alive.
"Hey! What the hell? It's not dying!" Sonic said.
"This isn't good. Our attacks are hardly hurting it at all." Raine said.
"I read here in the battle manual that we can use something powerful called a Sacred Skill. But we have to meet certain requirements. We have to keep battling until one of us learn a Sacred Skill." Double D explained.
"Move." Knuckles said. "What are you going to do?" Genis asked. Kuckles did an EXTREMELY devastating punch at the enemy.
"Whoa!" Everyone said.
"Knuckles, we need help. Can you help us?" Colette asked.
"Sure!" Knuckles said.
"Havoc Strike! Rending Thrust!" Eddy called out as he jumped up and struck with his foot. He then followed up with a thrust with his sword and uppercut the enemy.
"Eddy that was cool!" Cream said.
"Impact!" Knuckles called out as he hit the monster with all his might to knock it down. He grabbed it and picked it up.
"Landslide!" Knuckles shouted as he lifted the monster up into the air and then slammed it on the ground.
The monster had casted the spell Air Thrust. Larger wind blades attacked Sonic, Lloyd, Colette and Knuckles.
"That was one powerful attack." Knuckles said.
"We should be more careful." Cream said.
"Nurse!" Raine called out as a bunch of nurses ran by. "Nurses?" Knuckles asked.
"Just wait and see." Sonic said. The nurses were able to heal everybody.
"I feel like I've been unharmed." Knuckles said.
"You can thank Raine for that." Genis said.
"Soaring Blast!" Jimmy called out as Mr. Yum Yum jumps and slams an invisible force on the ground. "What?" Jimmy said as he felt some energy bursting through him.
"Oh my! Jimmy has learned a Sacred Skill!" Double D said.
"I have?" Jimmy said.
"Yes! Now use it! It'll help up defeat the monster." Raine said.
"A ravaging tragedy!" Jimmy shouted. Then, he held on tight, afraid that the Sacred Skill might make Mr. Yum Yum go out of control and make him fall.
"Final Fury!!" Jimmy shouted as Mr. Yum Yum did 14 powerful punches. He then headbutts then slaps the monster.
"Let's finish this!" Jimmy shouted as Mr. Yum Yum finished it off with a burst of energy from it's palms. The monster was instantly defeated.
"It's all over." Double D said.
"Fantastic! You're fantastic, Raine!" Linar shouted.
"It was nothing." Raine said.
"Right. Let's try to decipher that stone tablet. Tails, Professer Sage. Come with me." Double D said as he, Tails, Raine and Linar left the scene.
"So now what do we do?" Cream asked.
"I guess we rest." Nazz said.
"Hey Knuckles! You comin'?" Sonic asked.
"Yeah. After that, I'm going to join you guys on your journey." Knuckles said.
"I'm very glad to hear that." Colette said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next day at Linar's house...
"Good timing. We have just finished deciphering it." Raine said.
"Wow. I'm impressed that you guys were able to translate text so hard into English." Knuckles said.
"It would appear that the monster was the cause of the calamity that afflicted the ancient Balacruf Empire." Double D explained.
"That's correct, Eddward. It seems that the summoner at the time used Sylph, the Summon Spirit of Wind, to seal it away, then built this stone dais to suppress the calamity." Raine said.
"In preparation for the day when this calamity might reawaken, he left this map in order for people to be able to locate the Summon Spirit of the Wind." Tails read on.
"After a great many years, people eventually confused the calamity with the Summon Spirit of Wind…" Double D read.
"So now you know where the Summon Spirit of Wind is located?" Genis asked.
"Of course. The location of the Summon Spirit is the location of the next seal." Raine said.
"Wow! I wonder what the Summon Spirit of Wind is like! I can't wait to see it!" Lloyd said.
"Now we can get out of this boring town." Eddy said. Raine spanked him on the face.
"Well then, if you know our next destination, we should be on our way at once." Kratos said.
"Well, we should be on our way to Balacruf Mausoleum." Raine said.
"But only a few of us will go. The rest of us will stay in the House of Salvation nearby." Tails said.
"That would mean that Double D, Lloyd, Colette and Sonic want to go." Eddy said.
"Yes. We need much of the Balacruf Dynasty knowledge we need. Professor Sage and Knuckles should come." Double D said.
"And Eddy, Nazz and Cream want to come along." Sonic said.
"Well then it's settled. Sonic, Lloyd, Knuckles, Professor Safe, Nazz, Eddy and Cream will come along with us." Double D said.
"It's going to be dangerous so come to the mausoleum when there's danger as quickly as you can." Lloyd said.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now don't go all "OMG! That monster got OWNED too quick!" As stated earlier that the group sleeping in the inn already missed five minutes of the battle.
Now to introduce a skill called a Sacred Skill (like Colette's Holy Judgement, etc). It's like "Tales of the Abyss'" Mystic Artes, where you meet certain requirements and they are powerful. The first one is introduced in this chapter. In case you weren't reading correctly, it was Jimmy who learned the sacred skill called Final Fury (14 powerful doll punches followed by a headbut, a slap, then a burst of energy from its palms). Each character will get two to make it fair. As stated earlier, Sacred Skill are really powerful when done right.
And in case you wer lost, Double D, Cream and Genis are starting to learn more powerful spells.
And yes, I split the characters up again. With Knuckles joining the team, there's already a total of 13 characters on the team (5 Tales of Symphonia characters, 4 Ed, Edd n' Eddy characters, and 4 Sonic characters). IT's going to be hard to include them at once.
Other than that, PLEASE REVIEW NICELY!!!
