Golden Sun: Alchemy's Rebirth

[Stu]

Drake sat along the ledge of a wall, surrounding his home town, Vault. He gazed at the ground, bored out of his mind. His mom and dad, Mia and Felix, had been in a town council meeting, for a very long time. Drake's best friend Ariana, had gone to hang out with her parents, Ivan and Sheba, in the council meeting, and he had nothing to do. He decided that he was going to start training early.

Drake sat up, and put his long brown hair with blue tips, into a ponytail. that was usually how he wore it, and only took it out if he wasn't going to do anything for a while. He then grabbed his short sword and red cape, jumped down form the ledge, and ran to the gates of town.As he ran towards the gate, he stopped to the voice of a girl calling to him.

"Hey Drake,wait for me!" the girl exclaimed. Drake turned around and saw that it was Ariana. She was running to him with her bag of supplies and her staff.

"Did the council meeting end?" Drake asked curiously.

"No, but they released me early. And what exactly do you think you are doing going out of town without any supplies?!" Ariana asked.

"I don't need them. You know as well as i do that I'm the best fighter in this whole town." Drake said braggishly.

"What if you do get seriously hurt? You won't have any supplies at all! You could DIE!" Ariana said concerned.

"Well, big whoop. I really don't care whether i live or die." Drake said.

"Well... i do..." Ariana said under her breath.

"Did you say something?" Drake asked.

"No." Ariana said as they walked out of the town.

"They shortly afterwards encountered a couple of vermin. They were the weakest monsters around, and Drake knew how to take care of them.

"Quake!" Drake said. at that moment, the ground beneath the vermin shook and the vermin flew high into the sky, landed, and killed one. He was an Earth Adept, meaning he could use the power of Venus, and it's light house.

"Whirlwind!" He heard Ariana shout. The other vermin was tossed around inside of a small tornado, and was killed.

"Let's check out what these suckers left for us." Drake said. He then scavenged through the remains and found some money and an herb.

"Ah ha, another herb!" Ariana said. She tucked it into her supplies bag, and continued to watch Drake scavenge.

"Nothing... man it's too hot outside to do this. Let's go back home." Drake complained.

(OOC: Golden Sun and Golden Sun the Lost Age are games for the game boy advance, which is one of my all time favorite games ever... I Know Fireball is going to be joining, and I'd like others to come, but if you join, try to have SOME background in GS or GStLA... )

Drake and Ariana were walking back to town when they spotted a large wagon outside of the gates. A boy with blue hair, a blue traveler's cloak, black slacks, holding a large traveling bag, and a large axe over his back stepped out of it.

The boy waved to the driver of the wagon, and the wagon rode away, leaving the boy alone.

Drake, being protective of his village, walked over to the stranger with his sword outstretched. "You there! Novice! What business do you with our peaceful town!" he said as he approached the boy. Ariana rolled her eyes. Why did he always have to make situations more serious than they really were?

The boy turned away from looking at the village and looked curiously at the boy just about his age holding a sword walking towards him.

He grinned and said, "Hi, I'm Dover. I just moved here." He stretched out his hand for Drake to shake it. Dover? Ariana thought to herself. I think I read somewhere that that means water...

Drake put away his sword, but didn't take Dover's hand. "You moved here, huh? By yourself? That seems unlikely. You're barely old enough to move out of your folks' place."

"My parents... were killed when they were studying a new type of Alchemy when something went wrong and destroyed half of my hometown. Me, being the only one left from my family, was banished from my town. I hitched a ride over here with an old friend to start life anew and try to improve my Mercury Alchemy so I may be able to come back to my town and help rebuild it," Dover explained.

Drake was looking at his thumbnail, but looked up when Dover finished. "I'm Drake, and the girl behind me is Ariana," he told him.

"Nice to meet you two!" Dover said with a smile. "I'm glad I've made some friends here so quickly."

"Who said anything about friends?" Drake said grimly.

[fireball]

Drake, Ariana, and Dover reentered town. As Dover led Ariana and Drake (reluctantly) to his new home, a Mars Djinni darted across their path.

"Dammit! Get back here, Flare!" a large, unusually tall light brown-haired boy wearing a brown vest with a white T-shirt yelled as he chased the djinni.

After a few seconds of silence, Dover asked, "Who's that?"

"Oh that's Miles. He sometimes lets his djinni Flare run free, this always happens," Drake replied. "He can be a total idiot sometimes. You see-

"That's it!" a very angry Miles yelled. He pulled out an iron flail. The djinni just ran faster.

Drake let out a heavy sigh. However, Dover noticed a puddle under where the Mars Djinni had stopped. "Frost!" Dover yelled. Suddenly, the puddle froze and flew up, startling and knocking over the Djinni.

Miles face turned red with embarassment. "Thank, you... whatever your name is," he uttered.

"I'm Dover, I just moved here. And it's good to be of help."

"Well, sorry about that," Miles said.

"You have to keep him set to you," Drake said. "You're lucky enough to have a Djinni, know how to use it!"

"Jeez Drake... you don't have to yell..." Miles, said, his face turning even redder. "Anyways, you're going to Dover's house, right? I'm guessing you two are friends now? I guess I'll come with you."

"We're NOT friends. We only just met!" Drake said, irritated.

(How was that for my first RP post?)

[Stu]

Drake sighed. "sometimes i wonder how you are my cousin... does uncle Isaac ever teach you to control that thing? Or does Jenna."

"Hey, i can do it on my own!" Miles said irritably.

"I wish i could find a Djinni..." Drake said jealously.

"Hey Miles, i really suggest you spend some time with Flare, like i keep Gale, i spend time with him everyday." she said as she brought out Gale, a Jupiter djinni, and petted him.

"what's that?" Dover asked in amazement.

"you don't know what a djinni is?" Drake asked in amazement.

"I'm not really from around here..." Dover explained.

"A djinni is a type of... elemental monster... that joins with you and helps you attack... There are four different types: Venus, Mercury, and then Mars, Flare, and Jupiter, Gale.

"So anyways, where is your new house?" Ariana asked Dover.

"Um... I'm not sure..." Dover responded.

"He's probably moving into the new house they built over by the ledge where you hang out Drake." Ariana said.

"Oh great, that's just grand. Oy, i cannot believe this." Drake said.

They then walked to the house and settle Dover in. Felix and Mia walked over, as town mayor and mayoress to greet the new villager with respect, and inform him on rules.

"Hello there neighbor, what is your name?" Felix asked, "I am the mayor of this town, Felix"

"I am Dover, I am a Mercury adept, and I move here alone." Dover said.

"Aren't you a bit young to be on your own?" Mia asked curiously.

"Well, my whole family was killed in an alchemical study, I am the only one left." Dover replied.

"I'm dreadfully sorry, if we can help in anyway, Mia and I, and Drake, will help in anyway possible."

"I will too," Ariana said.

"Thank you all, very much" Dover replied.

Drake walked out, and went to "his ledge". He sat and thought about the nice trip he and Ariana were going to go on tomorrow. He thought about all of the fighting and traveling it would take, to get all the way to the Mount Aleph remains. He knew that he would have to stock up on supplies too. He then over heard Ariana say to Miles and Dover, "Oh, well me and Drake are going on a trip to the Mount Aleph remains tomorrow, would you like to come?" Drake smacked his hand at his face for this. He knew his nice trip with Ariana was ruined. He then walked home after Miles and Dover agreed to go. Drake packed up his gear, and then went to sleep.

[fireball]

"Ah, sweet!" Miles thought to himself as he went to sleep. "We're going to Mount Aleph's remains! I remember my parents telling me all about how they escaped from it, and how mom was kidnapped by some people named Menardi and Saturos; man, thats so cool!" He quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Miles got up and noticed the sun was already up. He quickly got dressed, putting on his travel vest, t-shirt, and pants, along with a few other supplies including herbs, his djinni, Flare, and his flail, and darted out of his room and down the stairs to get to the door. But, he noticed his Uncle Felix was there talking to his parents, Isaac and Jenna.

"Uncle Felix? What are you doing here? Don't you want to make sure Drake is prepared for his journey?" Miles asked, confused.

"Oh, he, Ariana, and Dover already left." Felix replied.

"Shi-" Miles began, but saw his parents staring at him, "Shoot! I gotta go!" he exclaimed. He quickly bolted out the door. Faintly, he saw all three of them off in the distance.

He began running off to catch up to the distant party. After a few minutes, Miles slowed down to a walk. He noticed something unusual about the ground. Suddenly, as he was looking at it, three wild mushrooms popped out of it and attacked. Miles quickly dove to the side and smashed one to bits with his flail. "Fire!" He yelled. Many fireballs flew out of his hand and into the other two mushrooms, burning them to bits. Luckily, they were weak against fire attacks, so the battle was easy. He continued on to catch up to the others.

(Waiting for Chad to post!!!!!)

[Stu]

Drake walked a dirt path, followed by Ariana and Dover, who were talking and laughing with each other.

"Damn that new guy." Drake thought to himself. He was slightly irritated by the presence of Dover. He had been hoping to be alone with Ariana, but he now knew his chance was gone. "What an asshole, coming in and ruining my perfect day with Ariana," he" he thought to himself. "WHO DOES HE THINK HE IS!!" he shouted out loud, without realizing it. Ariana and Dover both stared at him in confusion.

"Who?" Ariana asked.

"Ah, sorry, nothing..." Drake said as he went back into thought. He then heard someone running up behind them.

"Wait for meeeeee" Miles shouted to the others.

"You have got to be kidding." Drake said not wanting Miles to come too.

"Hey there Miles." Ariana said with a smile.

"Hey Ariana, Dover, Drake."

"Hello there Miles." Dover said happily.

"Hmph." Drake said coldly.

"Drake, be nice." Ariana said as if she was his mother.

"You have got to be kidding me." Drake repeated himself.

Dover looked at miles, then looked at Drake. He pondered how they were cousins, because they didn't even look close to being related. Drake looked a lot like Felix, and Miles looked a lot like Isaac.

"Wait, so you guys are cousin's? How, i can see no resemblance."

Drake sighed and kept walking. Miles looked at Dover and said, " We are related because my mom , Jenna, and Drake's dad, Felix, are siblings.

"But even they don't look related..." Dover said confused.

"Well, they are so live with it!" Drake said angered. He just wanted to find some monsters so he could work with Ariana and beat the monsters, while Dover and Miles sat back and watched how good they looked together and what a team they would be.

"Drake, look over there. There are monsters!" Ariana exclaimed. "Nows my chance," Drake thought to himself.

"I'll fight too!" Dover said as he pulled out his axe.

"Same here!" Miles backed up Dover while pulling out his flail.

"Rrr..." Drake said to himself. "Earthquake!" Drake shouted. The vermin were thrown into the air, and hit the ground hard. All the monsters died.

"Wow Drake, when did you learn that?" Ariana asked in amazement.

"I practiced last night, before i went to bed." Drake said as he continued to walk.

"Hey, look what i found!" Dover said, "It's an herb!" he said as he scrimmaged through thew monsters' dead bodies.

"How cool!" Ariana said in amazement.

"Awesome Dover!" Miles congratulated.

"Oy... why did it have to end up this way?" Drake questioned the sky.

They continued their walk to the old town of Vale, which had been destroyed some years ago. Drake, Miles and Ariana had all heard the old tale of how Felix and the gang saved the world by lighting the elemental lighthouses.

"It's just like dad said..." Drake muttered to himself.

"What are you talking about?" Dover asked curiously.

"You mean you haven't heard of the tale of what my dad and his friends did?" Drake asked in disbelief.

"Not particularly..." Dover admitted.

"Where the hell are you from? Are you from some tiny, excluded island?" Drake asked in shock.

"Drake! That's no way to treat a new guy!" Ariana said angered, "Here, let me tell you all about what they did." She went on to explain how many years ago, Felix had been kidnapped by a duo named Menardi and Saturos. She then told of how they stole three of the four elemental stars, leaving one with Isaac and his friend Garet, and how they had stolen Jenna and their old philosopher, Kraden, who had passed on just recently. Isaac and Garet then traveled around the continent of Angara, meeting Ivan and Mia, and trying to stop Menardi and Saturos. After finally defeating them, Isaac and friends just missed Felix, who had been helping them, as he stole a wind adept named Sheba. During this whole time, the mercury and Venus lighthouses had been light, even though Isaac and Garet had been trying to stop them. After the defeat of Menardi and Saturos, Felix rounded up Jenna, Kraden, and Sheba, with the help of a water adept named Alex, who had been helping Menardi and Saturos from he sidelines. After developing their strength, and meeting a Lemurian named Piers, they set out to light the Jupiter light house. During that time, they met the sister of Menardi, Karst, and her partner, Agatio, who had also wanted to light the light houses. After lighting the Jupiter light house, they then turned on Felix and fought him, but they lost. But they had also stolen the Mars star, and headed for the Mars light house, which was in their hometown of Prox. After persuading Isaac and his friends to help him light the final light house, they headed to Prox and reached the Arie of the Mars lighthouse, after stealing the Mars star back from Karst and Agatio. Atop the lighthouse, they fought a three headed dragon, which turned out to be Felix's and Jenna's Parent's and Isaac's Dad, who had been "killed" in a storm three years before Felix had be lost. When they light the final light house, Alex headed to the top of mount aleph to get all four beams of energy form the towers, in hopes of getting infinite power. But the Wise one, guardian of the Stars, stopped him, burying him and all of mount aleph and vale into the ground.

"I see... so that's why they are the mayors now right?" Dover asked curiously.

"Yeah." Miles said.

"Guys, we're here..." Drake said as he stared at a barren wasteland of sand. "Let's see if we can find the sanctum my dad asked me to find,"

((OOC (again): OK you guys can take it from here, but i have an idea for the beginning of the plot, I'm just making sure anyone who wants to join can join, so post your part of the story and things before i get us involved into he plot... cause the plot is gonna start soon... so post, or message me if you want to be a character we find later on in the story and start designing your character.))

[Stu]

You may read but cannot post unless you talk to me (sounds dictatorshipish but i don't want n00bs who know nothing trying to post and ruining the story) so I'm going to continue))

"How can we find any sanctum... if... THERE IS JUST AN EMPTY DESERT?!" Miles shouted.

"Well... ummm... i guess... maybe we should look around." Ariana said as she started shuffling her feet to uncover dirt. "Wait... she thought to herself. WHIRLWIND!" she shouted, as a small tornado spun around on a high patch of dirt. The tornado tossed the sand around, uncovering a weird large purple stone.

"Wait... this must be a... Psyenergy stone... the one my dad was telling me about... It was used to replenish the villagers psynergy power when they were weakened." Miles said.

"Hmph. I don't need that. But that means we arent near the sanctum, we are only near the village. Which means we need to travel farther." Drake said as he continued walking.

"Drake, don't be so boring. Let's explore around and learn about the past."

"The past doesn't affect me! I could care less about it. I just want to check out the sanctum and go home." Drake argued back.

"OK then you go on ahead, Ariana, Miles and I will stay back and explore, while you find what your dad wanted you to find." Dover reasoned.

"No. I'm staying here then. You guys will need help being protected by the monsters, and i guess it wouldn't hurt to look around..." Drake said.

"YAY!" said a voice. Gale then jumped out of Ariana, and hugged Drake. "I knew you'd stay with us." Gale said.

"Anything for you my bestest djinni friend." Drake said happier now that Gale was out. Ariana had released him, knowing Drake would lighten up if Gale was around.

"Alright, so let's dig around." Ariana said.

"but Ariana... you are the only one who CAN dig. You have wind powers..." Drake said.

"I can use my water powers." Dover said.

"Well, i guess i can use Gale to help me." Drake said as he grabbed Gale.

"But what will I use?" Miles asked.

A few hours later, Drake was using gale to blow away the dirt, Ariana was using her wind powers to blow away the dirt, and Dover was using his water powers to wash away the dirt. Meanwhile, Miles stood digging with his hands, getting them covered in blisters, and complaining.

"Drake, i think you should give Gale to Miles, because you are stringer than he is... and you should dig with your hands..." Ariana said.

"Nah, i don't want to." Drake said.

"Yeah." Gale backed him up.

"Fine then i guess I'll just have to have Gale come back then." Ariana threatened. She then had him return, and Drake was forced to join Miles in digging with his hands.

"Rr. Man, why does she always do that, it's not fair." drake complained.

"You should have had him come to me, at least you'd be able to hang out..." Miles said.

"Shut up!" Drake said as he hit Miles on the head. "Help me dig!"

"Guys... I think i found something..." Dover said.

"What did you find Dover?" Ariana asked.

"I found floor, shaped like the moon..." Dover replied.

"Wait... you found... the Luna symbol? then that means that... we are close." Drake said. He then walked next to Dover, then took a few steps right. "That means that the Sol symbol should be around here..." Drake muttered to himself. He uncovered the Sol symbol, and was right. He then walked back to dover, and walked north of him. The the entrance to the Sol Sanctum... should be here... Drake uncovered a part in the dirt, and saw a weird blue portal. He stepped in, deciding to explore, and look for anything weird that was happening. As Drake went through he portal, he had a memory of what his dad asked to do.

~~~~~~

A few nights earlier, Drake was standing near where he had always hung out, and was practicing with his sword. As he slashed his sword around, Felix, brought out his legendary sword, the Sol Blade, and clashed his sword with Drake's. In a surprise, Drake spun around and saw it was only his dad.

"Hey dad what did you need..." Drake asked curiously.

"Drake, i need you to go check out a certain place for me... I was over at my destroyed hometown recently, and i heard weird noises... and as i ran away, i hurt myself... so, I'd like you to go check it out." Felix said.

"But dad... I... why would anything weird be happening over there..." Drake asked.

"Well, Drake, I don't know, but i also need you to go check out a certain place, only Jenna, Isaac, Garet, and I know about it... and i need you to go into the place... and see if an old friend of ours is still there... I need him to come back and discus something with me. His name is, the Wise One. He is a big rock with one eye. If you could remember what i say, you Will know where the door is. There is two symbols, one is the Luna. The Luna is in the shape of a crescent moon, and is where you need to step first. The second is Sol. you need to walk right from the Luna, and step on the Sol. Once you do that, the door to the Sol sanctum will open, as a blue portal... so, take care, and leave soon, the sooner the better."

"Dad... ok... i will do it... you old man." Drake joked.

"Thank you son, now.. i think you should go to bed... It's getting late."

"I'll be in later."

~~~~~~

Drake woke back up form his memory.

"Uh... where am i?" He asked himself. "Wait.. this is... is this the Sol Sanctum?"

It was a burning hot place, with red cracks in the ground. There were pillars, with which to jump across to, apparently, jump to four weird looking statues. Drake decided to go to to one statue that seemed to draw him near, it had a weird yellowish glow to it, and was the easiest for Drake to get to.

"Who goes there?"

"it is I... Drake... Who might you be, show yourself."

At that moment, a huge spherical rock floated in front of Drake. It had one eye, just like Drake's dad had said.

"I guess you are the Wise One?" Drake asked.

"Yes... I am..." the rock said.

"My dad, he needs to speak to you... he wants you to go to my Hometown of Vault. Would you mind going there and speaking to my dad? he has something urgent to talk to you about." Drake demanded.

"I... well.. i guess i could... for a little while... just... call me if anything goes wrong..." Wise One said.

"Ok... so do you know where Vault is?" Drake asked.

"Yes. Just call out to me if... anything happens..." keep a sharp eye out... with the door open... I'm sure HE will try to get out..." the Wise One said.

"Watch out for who?" Drake asked.

"Never mind... if anything weird happens, just yell to me, and I'll here it."

"OK, I'm still waiting for my friends to come here too..."

The Wise One then left. Drake waited around, looking around, when he decided to go check out the yellowish statue. As he hopped over, he saw a man with long blue hair laying next to it.

"Hey sir, are you OK?" Drake asked the beat up man. Drake could sense how powerful he was and backed off. Drake then went back to the door, to wait for his friends.

"Hey you, boy, what's your name?" The blue haired man asked. He jumped up and walked near Drake.

"My name is Drake. What's yours?" Drake asked back. "And what exactly are you doing in here?"

"My name is... Alex... and I have been stuck in here for a very long time. You look like someone I know... do you happen to know a man named Felix?

"Ah yes... he is my dad..." Drake responded.

"Oh... well... then this should make things easier..." Alex said.

"Would you let me out, I've been stuck in here for quite some time, and i need to be free." Alex said.

"I'm sorry, but the Wise One asked that i dotn let anyone or anything out, so... i am going to listen to him..." Drake said.

"So... then i must use force huh? Well then, let's fight!" Alex said as he pulled out his sword.

"Nice try, I'm one of the best fighters around!" Drake said.

"Well then you obviously don't know who i am." Alex said.

"Wait a minute... You're THAT Alex? The Alex who absorbed the Golden Sun?!" Drake said shocked.

"So you have heard of me... well then... do you still fight?!" Alex threatened.

"Well, I guess i have no choice!" Drake said with a grin on his face. "Earthquake!" Drake shouted. Alex got tossed around, but it barely affected him.

"Now... time to meet your doom..." Alex said.

"I hope the others come soon..." Drake said to himself, knowing he was going to loose.

((OOC: You guys can come in one at a time... although since chad is gone, I'll hafta do him and I'll do Ariana... so Ryan, have your character come in and back him up, then I'll have Chad and Ariana (with Gale ,Taylor,) joining them.))

[fireball]

"Hey, Drake's been gone for a while. I'm going in the portal, Dover, Ariana." Miles said. He dove headfirst into the portal, coming out and landing head first on the ground.

"Earthquake!" someone yelled. Miles felt the ground violently shake under him. "Please! That won't hurt me!" another voice yelled.

"That sounds like Drake!" Miles said. Sure enough, he turned around and saw Drake fighting a beaten-up blue haired man out on a platform with a glowing statue. Miles snuck over to the platform and quietly pulled out his flail. A few minutes later, he jumped off and hit the blue-haired man in the back.

"AAAGH!" the man yelled as he spun around and hit Miles in the side.

"Now's my chance!" Drake thought. He ran up and sliced Alex in the back with his sword.

"These wounds are nothing!" Alex yelled, "Now I get serious! DELUGE! Alex yelled. A flood of water came down on Drake and Miles, badly injuring them. Drake and Miles both quickly ate an herb.

"It's time I try a new spell I've been working on," Miles said, "SERPENT FUME!" Miles yelled. A large pillar of fire in the shape of a dragon rose from Miles's body and flew into Alex, knocking him over.

Miles stood still for a few seconds, and then fell over, passing out from exhaustion.

"Miles?!" Drake gasped. "Bastard!" he yelled as he drew his sword and charged at the temporarily down Alex.

(OOC: Now would be a good time for backup...)

[Stu]

"What is taking them so long?!" Ariana asked Gale.

"I hope they are ok..." Gale said.

"I think I'm gonna go check it out Dover, Stay up here, with Gale and watch out for anything.

"NO! I want to come too!" Gale said.

"Fine," Ariana said as she put Gale back into her. Ariana then stepped into the portal.

When she got out, she saw Miles passed out and Drake defending himself from a blue haired man.

"Drake, what's going on?" Ariana asked shocked.

"This guy... Alex... he wants to get out, but... he is evil... the Wise One wants him to stay sealed in here! Help us stop him!" Drake yelled.

"What happened to Miles?!" Ariana asked.

"He used a psynergy that was out of his strength... and he passed out... and it did nothing..." Drake said.

Ariana grabbed out her staff and started casting whirlwind. Meanwhile, Drake attacked with his sword, but Alex blocked it.

"It's useless. Just let me go and i won't kill you." Alex said calmly as he and Drake clashed swords.

"No! My dad told me all about you! I won't let something as evil as you are out!" Drake yelled.

"Hah, none of you stand a chance against me. Your dad couldn't defeat me even. Just get out of my WAY!" Alex started to get aggravated and threw Drake against the wall.

"Ow!" Drake said as he stood back up.

"Whirlwind!" Ariana yelled. A whirlwind appeared and started tossing Alex around, but it was worthless. Alex stopped it completely.

"Worthless. You cannot win. DELUGE!" Alex said as he pointed his hand at Ariana. He then shot out a major stream of water, and blasted her back-wards, knocking her unconscious.

"Ariana! I'll get you, Alex!" Drake yelled as he jumped at Alex. Alex deflected the strike with his sword and casted Deluge again, blasting Drake unconscious.

Alex then walked out of the portal, and saw Dover.

"Hey... who are you?!" Dover asked.

"You should go check on your friends... they need you." Alex said as he walked past Dover.

Dover ran into the portal, and saw Drake, Ariana, and Miles all beat up and passed out.

"I need to go get help!" Dover said. He then traveled back to Vault, and gather a few people to help tend to their wounds.

"So he escaped?" Felix asked the Wise One.

"I guess he did, and with all that power, who knows what he could do. I can not tell where he is... even though my power is greater, I am getting older... and weaker... I cannot go through with this... I need your help to find him..." the Wise One said.

"I too am getting old,"Felix said, "I am losing my touch, and my bones are hurt more easily... I'll have to send a group after him... if that will do any good..."

[fireball]

(OOC: Revival time. If u see this Stu, I have a fantastic idea for a plot. )

"Ow... what... the hell..." Miles said as he woke up.

"Where am I?" he thought. The last thing he remembered was a man in blue hair. He attacked the man and it supposedly hurt him, but suddenly, everything went black. He then realized he was in his room in Vault. Surprisingly, he wasn't wounded, but he had a massive headache.

Suddenly, Dover walked in. When he saw Miles awake, he rushed out of the room. A few minutes later, he was back, with his parents and Drake.

"Miles, honey..." his mom said. "You've been in a coma for two weeks... I'm so glad you're ok!" she said, tears streaming down her face.

"I knew he would be, Jenna." Miles's father Isaac said. "As foolish as he can be, he has an unbreakable spirit."

"Wow..." Miles said. He was shocked. It had been two weeks since he passed out. "Drake, do you have any idea what happened to me?"

"Yes, kind of. You came rushing in to find me. You saw Alex attacking me and tried to use serpent fume, which is by the way WAY too powerful for you. You stunned him for a second, but he just shook it off. I think you passed out from exhaustion."

"You were lucky." Dover said. "When I came, I found all of you unconscious. Drake and Ariana were injured pretty bad, but your wounds were minor."

"Did you fight him too?" Miles asked.

"No. Surprisingly, he walked right past me."

Just then, Felix walked in.

"Miles, I know this is sudden. But now that you're awake, you must know. Alex is a man who absorbed the golden sun a long time ago but became trapped in the ruins of Mt. Aleph. His power is unimaginable, and as far as I know, unstoppable. I don't know what his intentions are, surely he must be planning something. But now, here comes the worst part. As you know, when me, your parents, and our other friends lit the Mars lighthouse, Gaia Falls stopped. They've started up again. So something is wrong at one of the lighthouses. We've already sent some of our elders to investigate Venus and Mercury lighthouse. I know I am old and weak, but me, Isaac, Jenna, and Sheba are headed to Jupiter lighthouse soon. We need you to go with Drake, Ariana, and Dover to Mars lighthouse as soon as possible. Prox could be swallowed up any moment!"

Miles got out of bed. "Alright! An adventure, which I'll be leading of course~ everyone follow me-"

"No way." Drake interrupted. "There's no way some joker like you is leading this. I'm the only one who's fit enough for this."

"Aww..." Miles said.

"You're set to leave tomorrow. So, you'll need to prepare. As for me and your parents, we're leaving now. Jupiter Ligthouse is waiting." Felix said.

(OOC: I may make edits since it's likely that no one but me will post here until Stu and Chad get back)

Drake awoke and was ready for the big day that they would head way up north to the Mars Lighthouse. The only problem, how would they get there without a boat? Drake had studied a map the night before and noticed mountains blocked the way completely to get up there. They would have some difficulty...

Ariana walked into the room and stood next to him.

"By the look on your face, I'm guessing you've discovered a difficulty to get all the way up north?" Ariana suggested.

"Yeah... there's mountains blocking pretty much the whole way up there... not to mention snow... We need a boat to get to the snow, and then we need to walk through the snow..." Drake responded.

Miles broke in, "We need a boat eh? Well lucky us, that means we need to travel to Imil, because it is the closest place to te ocean... which i think is pretty much half way to Prox and the Mars Lighthouse..."

"It is." Came another voice. It was Dover. Drake glanced at Dover who was also holding a map in his hands.

"Well, ok then, it's settled. We will head to Imil, and find out if they have a boat we cna borrow. Then we will head to Prox from there and then straight into the tower. I'm not sure what we need to be looking for, but I do know we have to see if there is any problem with it..." Drake announced.

They started their long journey toward Imil.

((OOC: God I'm gonna need to replay GS1 to remember the pathways to Imil. XD This should be fun though. I really like this RP.))

[fireball]

(OOC: The pathway is as follows: We need to go east from Vault, through Goma cave, Bilibin, north through Bilibin cave, and go through the snow to Imil. but for now, the party is going through Goma cave)

"Alright, Goma cave is right up ahead." Dover said, examining his map.

"Duh!" Miles yelled, completely unaware that Dover was new to the area.

As they climbed up to the entrance, they noticed a large rock blocking the entrance.

"Damn!" Drake exclaimed.

"That's strange..." Miles said. "My dad said that Ivan came and blew open the entrance with a whirlwind. Ariana, blow away the rock!" he commanded.

"I don't think that's going to move with a whirlwind..." she said.

"Out of the way," Drake said, shoving his cousin out of the way while taking care not to hurt Ariana. He stood still for a moment, and then yelled, "Move!" A white aura enveloped around him, and a hand appeared. Hardly breaking a sweat, Drake moved the rock using the hand crafted by psynergy.

While Drake moved the rock, Miles made sure he was looking away and did the same thing as him, only not in the direction of the rock. After moving the rock away from the cave entrance, Drake suddenly tripped. Miles had knocked him over; Dover and Ariana were laughing to themselves.

"You idiot!" Drake yelled. "That could've broken my concentration!"

"That's for pushing me..." Miles said. "My dad knew that move too, y'know..."

"Let's not lose track of our mission," said Dover. The party entered Goma cave.

(OOC: Now i'll have to look at goma cave... ^^
