At the Balacruf Mausoleum...
"Climb the central stairway and offer the map at the altar." Raine explained.
"Okay." Colette said as an opening slot opened.
"It seems to be reacting to the map. I guess we needed the map more than we thought." Double D said.
"So now what do we do?" Eddy asked.
"We need to place the map." Raine said as Colette placed the map on the slot. An oracle stone appeared.
"Isn't this one of those oracle stone things you told me about?" Knuckles asked.
"Yes. Now let me put my hand on it." Colette said as she put her hand on it.
"Now let's get this over with." Lloyd said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the house of Salvation...
"So what do you want do do?" Tails asked.
"We can play hind-and-seek. We can turn Mr. Yum Yum big and use him as home base." Jimmy said enthusiastically.
"Okay. Hey Kratos! Wanna play?" Tails asked.
"I'll pass." Kratos said.
"Fine by me. Jimmy, how do you play hide-and-seek? Is this a game you play back at your world?" Genis asked.
"Yeah! I'm sure it's fun back at your world!" Tails said.
"Hey! Genis, didn't Double D told you and Cream not to tell anyone we come from another world?" Jimmy asked.
"Yeah. But I didn't tell Tails." Genis said.
"Cream told me." Tails confessed.
"Well, don't tell anyone." Jimmy said.
"Hey, isn't that Sheena running by?" Genis asked. They noticed Sheena heading for the Balacruf Mausoleum.
"Isn't that that girl who look pretty but she tried to kill you?" Jimmy asked.
"IT seems so! She's heading for Colette!" Tails shouted.
"We gotta get there before she does!" Genis shouted.
"Kratos! We have to go! Sheena's trying to go kill them!" Jimmy shouted.
"Now I see the reason why Eddward wanted us to stay. You stay here while I go after her." Kratos said.
"What about us?" Tails asked.
"Children should stay here. This is going to get dangerous." Kratos said.
"Have you forgotten that we have Jimmy armed with a giant doll who knows martial arts, me armed with a cannon that can only shoot Energy Balls at the moment, and Genis armed with the spells we need?" Tails asked.
"That's right! Lloyd's in trouble!" Genis said.
"Can you let us go? Pleeeeeeeeeease?" Jimmy asked nicely while trying to look cute.
"Oh very well." Kratos said.
"YAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!" Jimmy shouted like a child.
"Save your energy, Jimmy. We have an assasin to chase after." Genis said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
They had found a scorcerer's ring podium and changed its function.
"The scorcerer's ring is acting up again." Sonic said.
"In here, the scorcerer's ring uses wind since the ruin is full of wind here." Knuckles explained.
"I wonder what we can use it for." Nazz said.
"Perhaps for blowing out fires." Raine said.
"We can't because we need those to find our way." Double D said.
"How about that door we opened with the Scorcerer's Ring earlier?" Colette asked.
"And what? That will just cause the door to close." Eddy said. Everyoen stared at Eddy. "Eddy, how did you know that?" Cream said.
"Hey, I need to listen once in a while at school." Eddy said.
"And I thought you were just a complete retard." Knuckles said.
"Shut up!" Eddy shouted.
"Arguing won't get us anywhere." Sonic said.
"I saw some pretty pinwheels at that room." Cream said.
"Maybe we need that to make the pinwheels spin. That way, if we spin them in a certain order, that might help us get to the seal." Double D said.
"Eddward, that's a brilliant idea." Raine said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sheena had already made it to the ruins. But Noishe got in the way to stop her by growling.
"Corrine!" Sheena shouted as Corrine appeared out of thin air. He kept scaring Noishe, just enough for Sheena to get inside.
At this time, Kratos' group arrived at the scene.
"Oh no, we're too late!" Genis cried.
"Maybe we're not." Jimmy said.
"Jimmy may be right. We could try to get to the Chosen before she does or we could go after her. That way, we can assure that the Chosen is unharmed." Kratos said.
"And maybe she'll be lost in the ruins." Tails said.
"Come on! We have to go!" Jimmy said as everyone went inside.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lloyd's group had already made it to the top, where the seal is.
"We're finally at the altar… I'm sick of dungeons." Lloyd said.
"Geez Lloyd. You have no patience. Even a complete retard could have some patience." Knuckles said.
"Shut up!" Lloyd shouted. Suddenly, the seal started to react.
"What the hell is going on?" Knuckles asked.
"In order for Colette to release a seal, we have to defeat the monster inside that seal." Double D explained.
"This looks like fun!" Sonic said.
"The monster's name is an Iapyx. Like the Wind Master from earlier, it knows the spells Wind Blade, Air Thrust, Wind Slash, Thrust Fang, Energy Blast, and Turbulence. It shoots out feathers, but don't discount it's abilities. Those feathers are powerful and are capable of weakening you. For the casters, try to cast the strongest non-wind spell we have. Castign a wind spell will heal the monster." Double D explained. Cream was ahead of them by casting the first spell.
"Holy Lance!" Cream called out as floating swords swords of light appeared, pointed at the enemy and fell as they peirced through the monster. "I'm feeling strange!" Cream shouted as energy started to burst through her.
"You learned a Sacred Skill at the beginning of this battle. That was convenient." Double D said.
"So hurry and use it!" Lloyd said.
"Cream's Sacred Skill is a spell. It takes time, so try to give her time." Raine said.
"Eclair de Larmes!" Double D called out as a glyph appears on the ground, accompanied by a cross. The entire symbol then explodes with light.
"Double D, we're battling here! Not speaking French!" Eddy shouted.
"Well duh! The spell's name, Eclair de Larmes, is French, you retard!" Knuckles said.
"Knuckles, Eddy, you two need to stop arguing." Raine said.
"I think I also learned a Sacred Skill!" Double D shouted.
"Let's see who's is quicker. Cream or Double D's." Sonic said.
"Demon Fist! Slag Assault!" Eddy called out as he made a shockwave with his fists. He then slammed the sword on the ground sending rocks foward.
"Dragon Blast! Talon Storm!" Sonic called out as he launched the enemy up into the air then hit it back into the ground. He then followed it with a series of kicks
At this time, Double D finished casting.
"Here come Double D's sacred skill!" Nazz shouted.
"O holy melody of life, arise within the name of the necromancer!" Double D chanted as the entire battlefeild was binded in a sphere of energy.
"And here comes the big bang!" Sonic said.
"Mystic Cage!!" Double D shouted as the ball of energy exploded in a flash of light.
"Great job, dude!" Nazz shouted.
"Now you know the definition of true power!" Double D shouted.
"Double D, that is such a cheesy line!" Sonic said.
"Sonic Fist! Twin Palm Strike!" Nazz called out as she did a series of punches. She then followed it up with two bursts of energy from her palms.
"Cream's got the skill as well!" Raine said.
"O great ruler of ice and snow, bring thy enemies to their casket of ice." Cream chanted as the entire battlefield started to snow. Snow started to spiral around the monster, damaging it in the process since it was in its range. Clouds started to appear in the sky.
"Now we watch as Cream does her thing!" Eddy shouted.
"Snow Celebration!" Cream shouted as the tornado of snow spiralled aound rapidly. Then, a big blizzard had blown throughout the entire battlefield. It ended with a huge icicle falling on the enemy.
"Nice!" Nazz said.
"Absolutely flawless!" Double D said.
"Yeah! I'm a genius!" Sonic said.
"Here we go!" Lloyd shouted as he started the Unison Attack.
"Twin Demon Fang!" Lloyd called out as he did two concecutive shockwaves with his swords.
"Dragon Crush!" Knuckles called out as he closed in and knocked the enemy high into the air.
"Eruption!" Cream called out as an opening to the fiery mantle is created, and blooms of lava sear the enemy.
"Flame Burst!" Double D called out as streams of fire close in on the Iapyx, then flare up in an inferno.
"Are you ready, Lloyd?" Cream asked..
"Infernal Torrent!" Lloyd shouted as he shealthes his sword, then he slashes the enemy while the swords explode in a fiery show of force.
"O holy cross of the heavens, I beg of thee the lend me thy power and cast it on these corrupt souls." Colette chanted.
"Hey! Gaurd Colette while she's casting." Lloyd said.
"Spiral Dragon!" Knuckles called out as he did a spinning uppercut.
"Dragon Surge!" Nazz called out as she did an uppercut.
The monster had now casted Turbulence. A burst of wind tears at all caught up in it. In this case, Raine, Double D and Cream. That was enough to weaken Cream.
"Hey, you guys okay?" Knuckles asked.
"Please protect me while I'm casting!" Cream said.
"I'm casting! I insist that you support." Double D said.
"Don't let the enemy get in my way while casting." Raine said.
"We're kinda busy!" Sonic said.
"Cream could be done for if you guys don't heal her." Sonic said.
"I'm on it!" Double D said as he started casting.
"Grand Cross!" Colette called out as a glyph appeared and attacked the Iapyx from below. A beam of light then attacked him, lifting it up in the process. The beam of light then exploded in a shape of a cross.
"Please hurry! It's getting closer." Cream said.
"Boulder Crush!" Knuckles called out as he picked out a large boulder from the ground out of nowhere and threw it at the enemy.
"Raging Blast!" Eddy caled out as he gathered energy through his palm. The energy then explodes.
"Help is on the way, Cream. Heal!" Double D shouted as he healed Cream. The healing effect was more than Nurse or First Aid.
"Photon!" Raine called out as a ball of light incased the Iapyx, then explodes.
The monster at casted Air Thrust. Larger wind blades started to attack Lloyd, Eddy, Sonic, and Knuckles.
"Gaurdian!/ Speed Sheild/ Money Protection!" Eddy, Lloyd and Sonic shouted as they created a green barrier around them.
"Knuckles, you okay?" Sonic asked.
"I'm fine." Knuckles said.
"Knuckles, look out behind you!" Double D shouted.
"You think I'm stupid?" Knuckles asked.
The monster then shot feathers at Knuckles with a powerful force, just enough to knock him out.
"I screwed up..." Knuckles said weakly as he started to fall on the ground.
"Knuckles!" Double D shouted.
"Now you're gonna pay!" Lloyd shouted.
"And you thought I was the retard." Eddy said.
Double D held out a Life Bottle. "Knuckles, use this!" Double D said.
But the monster swung it's feet, missing Double D, but had the bottle flung out of his hands. The bottle fell to the floor and broke.
"Perhaps we can use these after the battle." Double D said.
"Hey guys! Look what I found!" Nazz shouted as she held up an item.
"Another Chaos Emerald!" Sonic said.
"This time, the amount of time won't change, but the amount of power during the finishing blow has increased." Double D said.
"Take this!" Eddy shouted as he did a plain slash with his sword.
"Eddy, don't use a sword just to show off." Lloyd said.
The monster had now casted Thrust Fang. Air blades come out of nowhere randomly. They were all able to dodge it, but not Eddy. He suffered enough damage to knock him out.
"That was bad..." Eddy said weakly as he fell onto the ground.
"No. NO!!!" Colette shouted.
"Let's go!" Sonic shouted as he activated Chaos Control.
"Let's Begin!!" Raine said as she activated the unison attack.
"Ray Sattelite!" Colette called out as she threw a Chakram and made it stay in place.
"Dragon Surge!" Nazz called out as she did an uppercut.
"Photon!" Raine called out as a ball of light incased the Iapyx, then explodes.
"Air Pressure!" Double D called out as an airfeild comes in and started to press the enemy against the ground, doing earth damage in the process.
"Ready, Nazz?" Double D said.
Nazz started to charge power. Once she charged enough power, she shouted, "Stone Dragon Ascent!" as she did an uppercut as a rift of earth blows at the Iapyx.
"I will finish you!" Nazz shouted as she wanted to do the finishing blows. Naz did a punch, then Raine whacked with her rod, Colette whacked with her Chackrams, and Lloyd shashed with his swords. Nazz then did a devastating punch on the monster. The monster was defeated afterwards.
"Is everyone okay?" Colette asked.
Double D held out another life bottle and put some of the potion in Knuckles' mouth.
"Did we win?" Knuckles asked.
"We could say that." Sonic said. Double D then fed the life potion to Eddy.
"Double D! What the heck is in this potion?" Eddy asked angrily.
"Eddy, I saved your life and this is how you thank me?" Double D asked.
"Never mind. Colette, realease the seal." Raine said.
"And we'll be closer to regenerating the world!" Cream said with joy.
"Chosen of Regeneration… You have done well in reaching this far. Now, offer your prayers at the altar." Remiel's voice said.
"Oh Goddess Martel, great protector and nurturer of the earth, grant my thy strength!" Colette prayed. She then revealed her wings.
"Those wings are beautiful." Knuckles said.
"Shut up!" Eddy said.
"You shut up, retard!" Knuckles said.
Remiel appeared at the scene.
"This is the third seal. You have done well reaching this far, Chosen One…Colette!" Remiel said.
"…Thank you." Colette said.
"Receive this blessing, the gift of angelic power from Cruxis." Remiel said as he granted Colette a new Angel Spell.
Colette learned Holy Song.
"Y-yes, Father. Thank you." Colette replied.
"The next seal lies far northwest, in a place that gazes upon the center of the world. Offer your prayers at the altar in that distant land." Remiel commanded.
"I shall do as you say. …Lord Remiel." Colette responded.
"I will be waiting for you at the next seal, Colette…my daughter." Remiel replied. He then vanished. But he said one more thing.
"The end of your journey is close. Hurry and become a true angel. Do not disappoint me…" Remiel said. Colette then decended from the ground.
"A true angel..." Colette said to herself.
"What is it?" Lloyd asked.
"Ah…nothing. I was just…thinking when I become a true angel, it'll be amazing!" Colette said excitedly.
"How many seals are left?" Knuckles asked.
"That we don't know." Raine said.
"At any rate, it's best to kepp going and search for clues about it for now." Double D said.
"Plus, we need to find a way to get to the Tower of Salvation afterwards if we can't get there on foot." Sonic said.
"Agreed." Double D said.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Let's face it. We're lost." Jimmy said.
"Don't give up now. She could be here somewhere." Genis said.
"Genis is correct. She should be lost in these ruins." Kratos said.
"Then we got to find her, no matter what." Tails said.
"Ow! Something stung my hand!" Jimmy shouted.
"Ow! Something stung my foot!" Tails shouted.
They went to rub where it hurt where they made a shocking discovery.
"My hand is stone!" Jimmy shouted.
"Something must have used magic to try to turn Jimmy and I into stone!" Tails said.
"Jimmy! Tails!" Genis shouted.
"My whole body is becoming solid!" Jimmy shouted. His whole arm was now stone.
"I'll help!" Genis said.
"No! It's dangerous to touch them. You could probrably be petrified too!" Kratos said.
The rest of their bodies wer starting to turn into stone until it came into their heads.
"Don't worry about me! Find Sheena!" Tails shouted as his whole head started to solidify.
"Maybe Double D or Professor Sage knows how to heal this! Find them!" Jimmy shouted as his whole head started to solidify.
"Oh no! Nazz and Sonic are totally gonna kill me when they see them like this!" Genis said as he stared at Jimmy and Tails, who are now statues.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And thus ends another chapter. Next battle will be the second battle with Sheena. The reason why I made Jimmy and Tails turn to stone because if they were to regroup with Lloyd's group while Lloyd's group is battling her, it would be hard to include everyone at once.
And if you were lost, two new Sacred Skill are introduced in this chapter (Double D's Mystic Cage and Cream's Snow Celebration). If this were a game, Mystic Cage is a Sacred Skill you can't escape from no matter how hard you try. Snow Celebration can be escaped, but some part of it you can't escape (the part with the big blizzard).
And by now, you will notice that Knuckles has been constantly calling Eddy a retard when Eddy says something that he finds stupid.
And if you see your Grand Cross incantation (or part of it since I came up with some and all of them are so great, I wanted to combine them), then congratulations!
Other than that, PLEASE REVIEW NICELY!!! Don't go around flaming others!
