Cat woke up screaming. Ikari burst into the room. "What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing. I just had a bad dream." Cat replied.
"What was it about?" Ikari asked, sitting next to her on the bed.
"I'm the princess of the Island of Lynns, but magic holders brought our island down here to earth. And humans began to take settlement to my island. It was then invaded by evil people that killed my mother and I'm suddenly here on earth with people around me. I don't know who they were, but I knew them in my dream. An evil woman then appeared and killed all of them and left me alive for the last. My mother then appeared beside her and... killed me. That's when I woke up screaming." Cat finished.
"Pretty weird." Ikari said.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" A voice screamed from the other room, and a thump was heard like a body hitting the ground.
Cat and Ikari jumped up and ran into the room. Yuni layed in a strange position in the room. Ikari helped Yuni up and Yuni looked at Cat. "Cat!" She yelled running up to her. "You're alright!"
"Who are you?" Cat asked Yuni.
"How can you forget me; your best friend." Yuni said.
Cat looked at Yuni like she was crazy or something. "I don't know." A flash then went through Cat's mind and she saw Yuni's face from her dream. "But... you were in my dream..." Another flash went through her mind and a bundle more. Cat grabbed the sides of her head and let out a yelp. Cat fell to her knees for the sudden flashes started to hurt. She saw her and all the others going through many things and she began to remember where she was and how she got there.
Cat started to glow. "...It's awakening." Yuni said.
"What is?" Ikari asked. "What's awakening?"
"Her inner power. A legendary power." Yuni replied.
Cat then let out a scream and the glow became so bright Yuni and Ikari turned their head from the brightness. When Cat's scream stopped and the light faded Yuni and Ikari looked at Cat who was now standing.
"How ya feeling?" Yuni asked.
"...Like normal." Cat replied. "Yuni?"
Yuni screamed and jumped up and down clapping her hands. "You remember me!"
Ikari cleaned out his left ear. "I think I lost hearing in this ear."
Cat laughed, and Yuni looked at him appalled. "Yuni, how are we gonna fid out way back to my island?"
"Wait!" Ikari interrupted. "So you are a princess. And all the stuff you dreamed about was real?"
"Yes," Cat nodded. "Well, everything but my friends dying and my mother killing me."
"Oh," Ikari sighed.
"What do you think happened to the others?" Yuni asked.
"Maybe the same thing that happened to us." Cat said.
"Cat, so you are a Lynn. The Princess of Lynns to be in fact." Ikari said.
"It's an extremely long story." Cat said. "Maybe someday we can sit down and I'll tell you all about me."
"Alright." Ikari said.
Suddenly the front door of Ikari's home burst open and leaves flew in and started to spiral around in one place. "What is this?" Ikari asked.
"Kitana!" Cat said. At that, Kitana appeared in the leaves and the leaves fell.
"Wow! You even know the goddess of Earth and Sky." Ikari said.
"Yep." Cat winked.
"Come, we must gather the others. Phoenix has something to tell all of us." Kitana said to Cat and Yuni.
"Right." Yuni said.
"See you around, Ikari." Cat said, she turned to walk away, but Ikari grabbed her arm and pulled her close to him.
"May I ask... for a kiss?" Ikari whispered.
Cat looked at Ikari and with no warning she kissed him. A somewhat long kiss, Cat pulled back and looked at Ikari. "Happy?"
Ikari looked at Cat a little wide eyed. "...very."
Yuni smiled. "Aw, this is such a picture perfect moment."
"We'll be going now. See you around Ikari." Cat said then walked up to Kitana. In a flash of light they were gone. Ikari stood in place, standing like a statue. His eyes then rolled back and he fainted.
Kannuki sat in a couch still in shock from what Aura had told him. Out of nowhere Jun falls on the floor in front of him. She then jumps up and snaps her head looking at her surroundings. "Ack! Where am I!? Where am I!?!?!" She screamed then finally noticed Kannuki. "Ick! Of all places!!"
"Who the hell are you?" Kannuki asked Jun.
"Hey, what did Mingi tell you about proper language!" Jun snapped then finally realized what Kannuki asked. "Did you just ask who I was?"
"Yes," Kannuki replied. "And I would like an answer."
"Kannuki!!" His mother yelled. His mother and father and Aura ran into the house to where him and Jun were at. "Who is this girl?" She asked.
"I don't know." Kannuki calmly replied.
"Kannuki, if you don't remember me, then you must know Mingi." Jun said.
"Mingi?" The name sounded familiar to him but he just couldn't remember where. "Who is she?" Kannuki asked after a small pause.
"Come on. You must remember Mingi, I mean she means the whole world to you. Only because you talked about her a lot." Jun replied.
A little bit came back to him, he can remember talking to Mingi, but it wasn't enough, he couldn't fit all the pieces and couldn't fit a face on her...just a woman with a cloak around her. "Tell me more about this Mingi." Kannuki said.
"Oh come on! Remember when you first met us? You challenged Mingi, but she ended up throwing you to the ground and dragging across the bridge because you were being so damn STUBBORN!" Jun said. "You always talked about how much you wanted to learn from her and become a white-mage warrior and all that other stuff."
More and more came back as Jun told him all she knew. "Mingi..." Kannuki whispered to himself, he remembered everything. Even knowing Angel, he was happy for he could have a cure. "Mom!" He yelled jumping up. "I know Angel! I can be cured!"
"Son," His father said setting Kannuki back into the seat and sitting himself as well. "Who is Mingi? She must be a wonderful person right? I'm sure me and your mother wouldn't mind having her as our da--"
"WHAT?!" Kannuki yelled making a face at what his father was saying. "Dad, don't worry about Ming. She's a little...WAY too old for me okay?"
"Oh," His dad replied. "Well what about here?" He asked pointing to Jun.
"Are you out of your mind?!" Kannuki said appauled. "Me and Jun!? NO WAY!!"
"Alright, alright." His father said. "Sorry, I got the wrong impression."
"Kannuki," Jun started. "Why were you so excited about knowing Angel?"
"I've got a curse on me from miss know-it-all over there." He said pointing to Aura behind him. "And the only way to remove this curse is Angel."
"Oh," Jun said. "But don't you remember, Angel got caught."
"Oh yeah," Kannuki's joy faded. "Damn..."
Suddenly a flash of light appeared in the center of the room. When it had faded away Cat, Yuni and Kitana stood in the room.
"Ack!" Kannuki's mother jumped. "Who are these people?!" She asked her son.
"They're friends of mine." Kannuki smiled.
"One of them is the goddess Kitana." Aura said.
"You know a... goddess?" Kannuki's father asked in awe. "You know two goddesses a white-mage--"
"2 white-mages, a white-mage priestess or soon to be...A once warlord and his enemy, two Lynns...and I thinks that's bout all the important people." Kannuki finished, then Jun made an angered face at him when she noticed he didn't mention her.
His father gave him a big hug, causing Kannuki to make a funny face. "Oh I love you son!"
"Dad, stop." Kannuki chocked. "This is embarrassing!"
"Come you two." Kitana said. "We've got to get going before Phoenix gets impatient."
"Oh, so we're heading to Phoenix." Jun said.
"Oh man!" Kannuki whined. "Not the horrible singer"
Just when Kitana was ready to teleport them away, Aura stepped forward. "Wait!" She said. "Take me with you."
"Why?" Kitana asked.
"You all will be heading to the kingdom of Lynns soon, right?" Aura asked.
"Yeah," Kannuki replied.
"How did you know?" Yuni asked.
"Well, for one Kannuki mentioned knowing two Lynns and there are two of them present at this moment." Aura replied. "My boyfriend is currently posted by the kingdom; we haven't seen each other in years. I want to fight with him, side-by-side."
"As you wish." Kitana bowed. Aura stepped up to the group and they all disappeared.
"Mingi! Mingi!" Ledia yelled shaking Mingi awake.
"What is it, Ledia?" Mingi asked sitting up in the bed.
"There are some people here and they say they know you." Ledia replied tugging on Mingi's arm. "Come see! Come see!"
Mingi got out of the bed and let Ledia lead her to the front room. Cyrus and Tickashi layed on the floor with magic ropes around them. "Mingi!" Cyrus yelled when he saw Mingi enter the room. "Please, you got to tell these people we mean no harm."
"How do you know my name?" Mingi asked. "I don't know either of you."
"Mingi you lack some of your memory, let them tell you anything that may bring back some of it." Gitago told Mingi.
"All right." Mingi nodded.
Gitago released the rope around the two and they stood up. "Mingi, if you can try to remember. You first met me with Cat and Yuni, the two Lynns." Cyrus said. "You didn't trust me all that much, because I was once a warlord."
"I fought with all of you to save Niniane, then Mit-- or Angel who descised herself and was named Mitsuo. We all saved them from the 'five temples of Yosaku.'" Tickashi said.
A little of it came back, but then again she still didn't trust them. "I'm getting visions, but it all isn't making sense to me."
"Let them continue." Gitago said.
Before they could continue Kitana appeared in the room with the others behind her. Mingi jumped back and stood in her stance ready to fight them off. After starring at the people who just appeared, she began to remember bits and peices at a time, everthing that had happened. "Cyrus, Tickashi." Mingi said turning to the two. "I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it, you didn't have any memory of who we were at the time." Tickashi said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Gitago," Mingi said. "Your sword is located on the Island of Lynns, correct?"
"Yes," Gitago said.
"Then I shall aquire it." Mingi said. "The best of the white mage and the greatest in the world." She smiled, then disappeared with Kitana and the others.
At Phoenix's place they all gather around to hear what he had to tell them. "Who are you?" Cyrus suddenly asked Aura.
"I'm Aura, I came with Kannuki." Aura replied. "Don't mind me, once we get to the Island of Lynns, I won't be here any longer."
Phoenix walked into the large room after exiting another room that none of the others were aware that existed. "Welcome back." Phoenix said sitting down in one of his chairs. "I asked Kitana to gather you here because I have news to tell you. To start off with Kitana saved Angel. If you all haven't remembered yet Angel used her power and separate all of you causing you to forget anything that had to do with this adventure that is occurring. Good thing that Kitana just happened to be there. She brought Angel back here and I recently found that she has a wound which came from Jaton. She'll be fine in an hour or so. Now to get to the point calling you all here." Phoenix paused for a short moment. "EmLynn is planning on using the people of the Kingdom of Lynns to be slaves to dig up an artifact that was buried in the core of the island causing it to float. That artifact is very precious and can grant any mortal being the power of becoming a god. The powers that the god will hold will depend on the mortals personality. EmLynn didn't know of this for sometime after taking control of the island until Kallima had told her."
"How did the artifact get there?" Cat asked. "None of us Lynns ever knew about it."
"Your god put it there. It's an orb." Phoenix said. "He put it into the island so that the island would float away from the human. The orb also protected the island."
"If that orb falls into EmLynn’s hands. It will cause great disturbance to our balance." Kitana said. "It will cause there to be more evil in the world and over throw the goodness in people's hearts. Destroying OUR goodness as well."
"I have a question to ask," Niniane started. "It may seem a bit off the subject. But why does EmLynn want Lotus to marry someone so badly."
"Well, Lotus wasn't exactly how we thought he was to be." Phoenix said. "He can live for an extremely long time, but he can still die. EmLynn wants his children to be her guardians as well as her elite of soldiers. Since he is an ultimate being, his children can possibly be weaker or stronger than he is."
"How long do we have before EmLynn reaches that orb?" Mingi asked.
"She has already started you can only have the possibility of 4 to 5 hours." Phoenix replied.
"Then we mustn’t waste anymore time!" Mingi said.
"Alright then," Phoenix agreed. "Kitana shall take you there. Make any last preparations while you have the chance."
While everyone else prepared themselves for the upcoming battle Tickashi walks up to Phoenix. "Phoenix?"
"Yes?" Phoenix said.
"Angel IS going to be alright?" Tickashi asked.
"She'll be fine." Phoenix assured Tickashi. "Maybe badly wounded, but she'll survive. She is a goddess you know. When she is good and well, I'll have her come join you all."
Soon everyone was good and ready. Kitana began to transport them. "Wait!!"
They all looked in shock at who delayed them. Angel stood at the door that Phoenix had exited from before he told them the news. "Angel," Kitana said. "You shouldn't be walking about. You're not fully well yet."
"You shouldn't be going to this fight without me." Angel said. When Kitana was going to protest Angel hushed her by raising her hand. "I'm fine. The wound wasn't as bad as you thought..." Just then Angel began to tilt back words.
Kitana caught Angel. "No more denying it." She said. "You're staying here until you heal."
"I guess you're right." Angel said a little disappointed in herself. "Tickashi, stay alive for me. The same to the rest of you."
Phoenix lead Angel back into the room she exited from and Kitana teleported the group to the base camp where Yousef is. Reaching the camp area within seconds, Aura immediately left the group yelling Yousef's name. "Yousef! Yousef! Where are you!?!"
Yousef pokes his head out of one of the tents. "Is that you, Aura?"
Their eyes met and they became over joyed to see each other. They ran up to each other and hug. "What are you doing here?" Yousef asked Aura.
"You're going to war against the people that have taken the island, right?" Aura asked. "I just don't want you fighting up there all by yourself. I'm gonna be there with you. Till the end."
"We'll be going on ahead." Mingi cut in. "Prepare your troops and join in at any time."
Yousef nodded in agreement and Kitana teleported them all to the island. When they were on the island they were all covered in brown cloaks, just like the Lynns that were currently at work. Kannuki and Jun were the only two that had a water bucket with a spoon in it. "Listen up." Mingi spoke turning to the group. "We will only work for a while, Kitana will signal us when it's a good time to attack."
"Hey!" A guard growled. "What are you all standing around for!?! Get to work!" He cracked his whip and they all separate.
Lotus looks out a window at the Lynns slaves digging a whole in the ground. He still felt angered at how EmLynn choose all those women for him to choose a bride. Then the guards end up losing two women.
"Lotus!" EmLynn slaps Lotus once he turned to face her. "You disappoint me! Why must you be so stubborn?"
"Sister dear," Lotus started. "I want to choose my own bride."
"Then what kind of bride are you so eager to have?" EmLynn asked.
"A strong one." Lotus replied. "With fire in her eyes; will; vigorous."
EmLynn only gave him an angered look and left. Lotus turned his attention back to the Lynns working and saw a guard hit a slave. The cloak hood that covered the slaves face fell back. It was a beautiful woman with silver blue hair. This woman attacked back at the guard. That's when Lotus transported down to where she was.
"Come on!" Niniane yelled at the guard, challenging him.
The guard raised his whip to attack, but was blown away from a blast. Niniane turned and came face to face with Lotus.
Lotus pulled Niniane close to him. "HEY!?!?!? What do you think you're doing?!?!" Niniane yelled at Lotus.
"I choose you." Lotus said.
"What!!" Niniane snapped. "What the hell are you talking about!? Let go of me!!" Niniane continued to scream and struggle her way out of Lotus' arms, but he wouldn't let her go.
Raziel heard Niniane's protests. "Hey! Let her go!!" He yelled then started to charge towards the two. When he only got so close they disappeared. "Huh?" He looked around himself for where they could of gone. "The castle." He said to himself. He started to head there, but the guards started to get in his way. Raziel only jumped over them and continued his run to the castle.
Raziel found himself in a bad position. The guarding wall into the Lynn castle was extremely high and he couldn't see any entrance into the castle. Guards then started to surround him. Raziel stood in his stance ready to fight them off. Suddenly Cat transformed in her Lynn form and grabbed Raziel flew him over the wall. "Go!" was all she said then turned to fight. Raziel turned himself around and headed toward the castle.
