Golden Sun: The Lost Tale --- Despite all my rushing, it still seemed to take forever to get to Lemuria in this fic. It really is a long game... --- [Studio] Piers: We're finally going to Lemuria. ^_^ Sheba: There should be lemurs this time around. Piers: Uh... really? Jenna: Yeah! Lemuria needs moar lemurs! Sheba: Bring on the lemurs! Felix: What's so great about lemurs? Piers: I wish I knew... [Lemuria] A ship goes into the Sea of Time. A few minutes later, it comes out again. Sheba: Hold onto the tiller! *is clutching a balloon* Jenna: *munching on cake* Relax, Sheba, we'll be fine. Piers: *wearing a party hat and blowing on a tooter* It's a Lemurian Ship! Felix: It's not fair! I can't join in the party because I'm too busy steering this stupid ship! Kraden: And doing a bad job too... Felix: I AM NOT! *pushes the ship back into the Sea of Time* As Felix tries to find his way through the Sea of Time, going through many whirlpools and such, Jenna and Sheba are so bored, having eaten all the party food, they can't help but sing. Jenna: The ship in the sea, Goes round, round, round! Round, round, round! Sheba: Merrily, merrily, merrily, Push the boat back and forth, Up and down again! Jenna: Through the whirpools and around the volcanos, The little ship goes, round, round, round! Sheba: Around and around, around and around, Up and down, up and down again! Left, right, up, down! And around! Felix: You are giving me a headache! Jenna: Around, around, around, the ship goes! The whirlpools make the ship go round, round, round! Sheba: The party's food's gone, what to do? Go up, left, down, right and around! Kraden: Ahem! Perhaps the song we learnt in Yallam could be of use? Piers: Er, except it was in a wasteground, this is clearly not a wasteground. Felix: Ack, whirpool! Jenna/Sheba: ARRRRRRGH! *Instead of being sent back to the Sea of Time entrance, they find themselves in a weird expanse of sea somehow shaped like a triangle and spooky ships floating around.* Felix: Er, what is this? Jenna: Is this Lemuria? Piers: Certainly not! Eerie voice: Welcome... to the Bermuda Triangle... Kraden: Oh no! Sheba: Bermuda Triangle? Eerie Voice: You'll never get out... *The ghost ships surround the Lemurian Ship.* Felix: I think we're in trouble. Kraden: The Bermuda Triangle is a place where many ships go missing! Sheba: Hey, there's a ship that looks like ours! Kraden: Now is not the time to- *Felix, Jenna, Sheba and Piers ignore Kraden and get onto the ship similar to theirs and explore it.* Jenna: Oh my gosh! *holds up Isaac's diary* It's Isaac's diary! Sheba: And there's scribbling on the wall in one of the bedrooms, saying 'Garet iz kewl'! Felix: And I happened to find some blue hair in the bathroom... that's not particularly common, is it? Piers: Oh, look, a lump of cheese with a tag tied to it saying 'Cheese, Property of Ivan' Felix/Jenna/Sheba: Isaac's ship! Piers: Then where are they? Jenna: Maybe they got away... Piers: Without their ship? Sheba: Guess so. Felix: We'd better try and get back somehow. *Felix, Jenna, Sheba and Piers return to the ship.* Jenna: Hey! I know! Sheba: You have an idea? Jenna: Retreat? Felix: o_O Will that really work? Piers: Come on, try! Kraden: If not, Felix, we could starve to death... Jenna: ^_^ Now I'm going to my room to read Isaac's diary- I mean, er, never mind! Felix: Hey! Hand it over! Jenna: But- Felix: ... Jenna: Huh! Fine! *hands it over* Spoilsport. Felix: *pockets it* I shall have to return this to Isaac. And nobody else will get their hands on it. Jenna: Aww... Sheba: Come on, Felix! Get us out of here! Felix: I'm trying! *casts Retreat* *Amazingly, the Adepts are whisked out of the Bermuda Triangle with their ship and dropped back into the Sea of Time entrance.* Everyone: WHEW! *They try again, and this time get through. The ground is shaking but Felix does not notice.* Felix: Oh thank goodness, we're past all those stupid whirlpools and everything. I thought that by the time we'd got through, we'd be old or dead of starvation, and we would never- Jenna: Felix. Look up. Felix: *looks up* O_O Sheba: Cute, isn't he? Poseidon: RRRAGH! Felix: *screams like a sissy* Piers: It's Poseidon, the guardian of Lemuria! We're doomed! Kraden: Nooooo! Poseidon: Rrrrrrragh... *Everyone quickly starts throwing random Psynergy at Poseidon but he is of course unharmed.* Kraden: *throws a rubber ducky at Poseidon* Poseidon: o_O Kraden: It didn't work... Felix: *throws a slice of cake he had hidden at Poseidon without thinking* Wait-! MY CAKE! Piers: Stupid jerk! *throws a fork at Poseidon* Take that! Poseidon's force field is broken! Felix: It's broken... Jenna: O_O Sheba: ...not bad... Piers: I surprise myself sometimes.. Kraden: Excellent! *notices Rubber Ducky being carried away by the waves* Wait, RUBBER DUCKY! *jumps into the sea* *Felix, Jenna, Sheba and Piers continue fighting regardless of Kraden's stint with jumping into the water.* Poseidon: Hah! Take this! WATERY GRAVE! *Luckily, Kraden swims in the way while swimming after Rubber Ducky and is killed by Watery Grave.* Sheba: Whew, that was close! Poseidon: Dratted old man! Jenna: Are you a mermaid? Poseidon: No! I am a merman! Felix: MER-MAIIIID! *summons Judgement many times* Poseidon: MER-MAAAAAAAN! Sheba: That multiple summoning trick... I've seen it before! *summons Thor about fifty times* Poseidon: You're cheating! Ow! Not fair! Piers: Well, you started the battle wearing a stupid barrier! Jenna: Say goodnight, Ariel! *summons fifty Meteors* Poseidon: My name is Posei- AAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!! *killed* Sheba: We did it! *Felix, Jenna, Sheba, Piers and the revived Kraden clamber back into the boat and continue until they see...* Piers: Lemuria! Felix: We're saved! Jenna: HURRAH! Sheba: About time too! Kraden: That's Lemuria? *does a giddy dance* OhwowohwowIfinallyfoundLemuria!!! Piers: Yes. I know. Felix: ... Jenna: He's doing it again v_v; Sheba: What, acting like a child on Prozac? Jenna: Yep. *They sail into Lemuria and get off. Then they walk and Felix moves a statue. And then they are about to go into Lemuria-* Two people: HALT! Inu: GRR! Person #1: *hides behind Person #2* Person #2: You may pass ^_^' Piers: Thank you. *Felix, Jenna, Sheba, Piers and Kraden pass on into Lemuria, leaving the two people staring at each other in stunned silence.* Kraden: Oh wow, it's beautiful! *Kraden dashes off, leaving Felix, Jenna and Sheba staring in shock at the decrepit ruins of Lemuria. Still shocked, they walk on.* Piers: Nice place huh? Felix: ... *looks incredulously at Piers* Piers: I was being sarcastic. Felix: Oh. Kraden: LOOOOOOOOOK! Jenna: He. Is. An. EMBARRASSMENT! Sheba: Not kidding... Kraden: Come over here! Piers: To look at what? The flowers? Kraden: Look at that magnificent palace! Felix: *watches a colony of lemurs marching past* What the heck? Jenna: Oh!!!! *starry eyes* Kraden: Oh, you appreciate it too? Jenna: CUTE DOGGY! *grabs the dog thats in Lemuria and hugs it tightly* Inu: *whimpers* Sheba: Hah, you phail. Inu: *growls and chases after the lemurs* Kraden: *sigh* Sheba: Oh look! Springs, like in Tolbi! Kraden: (to palace guards) Excuse me! May we come in? Palace Guard #1: No! Piers: Even if I'm here? Guard #2: Piers, the Lost One? Piers: Me, lost? Guard #1: Oh, it's just that we heard rumours you were lost in the Bermuda Triangle while on your ship... Piers: ^^; Nah, I was carried away by a tidal wave... Sheba: *runs off to play at the Lemuria Springs* Jenna: *plays with the dog* Inu: *is chasing lemurs* Felix: Poor lemurs... Kraden: T_T Nobody understands how beautiful this place is! Guard #2: Um, look, you can come in later once Conservato finishes talking to King Hydros. Piers: Drat! Felix: Huh? Piers: Basically, Conservato is a moron which makes things difficult. Felix: Oh... Piers: Come on, let's go see my Uncle. Felix: o_O Okay... Felix and Piers walk off, leaving Kraden starry eyed and staring at the palace. They are soon joined by Jenna and Sheba and go into Piers's Uncle's House. Piers: Uncle, I've returned... Sheba: O____________O My goodness, that's a lot of bottles! Piers's Uncle: *hic* P-Piers? Jenna: Um... what's with all the bottles? Piers: -_-; Fantastic... you've been drinking again... Felix: Doesn't anybody clear the bottles up? Piers: Mother, normally... where is she, anyway? Piers's Uncle: Ahh, if only my sister was here to see you've returned... *sways unsteadily* She would be so delighted... Piers: *picks up one of the bottles* Ahh, 300 year old wine... Felix: 300 years old?! Jenna: That's older than even KRADEN! Sheba: Or Babi! Piers's Uncle: *hic* You said the B-word! Sheba: The B-word? Piers: We Lemurians do not like Babi! *puts bottle down* Remember? Sheba: Me too! ^_^ Babi's dead! Piers's Uncle: He is? That calls for a celebration... *reaches for a bottle of champagne* Piers: Stop that. Where is Mother? Piers's Uncle: Oh, she's in the cemetery. Piers: Is she? *rushes out* Felix: Er, dead? Piers's Uncle: Had a weak heart. Jenna: That totally sucks! Piers's Uncle: Hey, wanna see Lunpa? Sheba: Sure, why not? Piers's Uncle: Ok! *hic* *sends off bird with note* You should be able to see him now... *hic* Jenna: STOP IT WITH THE HICCUPS! Felix: Lets go- Piers's Uncle: Wait *hic* *points at Jenna* Show me... your boobies... Jenna: O_O Sheba: ......... *Everybody walks out of the house, leaving Piers's uncle lying on floor with bumps on his head.* Sheba: You sure hit him hard, Felix. Felix: Not as hard as Jenna. Jenna: *fuming* Dirty old...! Sheba: He was drunk... Felix: Anyway, lets go and see Lunpa... Jenna: What about Piers? Felix: We'll leave him to grieve... Sheba: I hope he wasn't too shocked... Felix, Jenna and Sheba approach Lunpa's tower. Kraden: WAIT! WAIT! Jenna: Drat... Felix: *sigh* Kraden... Sheba: x_x What is it, Kraden? Kraden: I want to come in too! ^________^ Lunpa: Hello, want to come in? Everyone: Yeah! Lunpa: The door's broken, so come in through the window! Felix: o_O Jenna: It could be worse... Sheba: He could be asking us to tunnel underground... Kraden: Yippee! Through the window! =D Felix/Jenna/Sheba: O_o;;; Felix, Jenna, Sheba and Kraden go through the window and into a room to find Lunpa. Lunpa: Hey, how ya doing? ^_^ Felix: Er, fine... Lunpa: So, whats up? Jenna: ... Lunpa: How is the outside world these days? Sheba: Awful. Megalomaniac dictators kidnapping little girls to build huge towers, and people jumping off lighthouses! Felix: Er, I did that to save your life, remember? Sheba: Oh, yeah ^_^ Kraden: You knew Babi right? ^_________^ Jenna: o_o; Lunpa: Why, yes, that old megalomaniac! How is he? Felix: Dead as a doornail. Sheba: Thankfully. Jenna: o.o Lunpa: That's good news! So, I guess there's nobody left I know in the outside world- Jenna: Yes, there is! ^_^ Lunpa: There is? Felix: You know the town named Lunpa in Angara? Lunpa: Why of course, that town was named after me! Sheba: Lunpa? Jenna: The town is ruled by the wicked Dodonpa, son of Donpa! Lunpa: Donpa? Why, he's my son ^___________^ Felix: He's very old though. Kraden: Probably older than me... Sheba: But you're as old as a dinosaur! Kraden: Humph! Rude little girl! Lunpa: I see... Jenna: Did we come here just to spread news of the outside world?! Felix: I think so. Jenna: No, we didn't! Felix: ... Oh. Kraden: We're lighting the lighthouses! Lunpa: Awesome! =D So, what ya lighting them for? Sheba: Because they're so pretty when lit ^_^ Kraden: ... Felix: To save our parents ^_^ Jenna: They are being held hostage by psychotic Mars Adepts... Felix: They aren't all psychotic... o.o Lunpa: I see. And you, Kraden? Kraden: Because the world is shrinking... Lunpa: *gasp* I knew it! Come on, lets go and tell King Hydros! *runs off* Kraden: Eeeee! *follows* Felix: Shrinking? Jenna: Must be hallucinating. Sheba: I haven't noticed any shrinking... deteoriating, yes... Jenna: The ruins of Lemuria is a good example... Felix: I was expecting better than this... pit... *Felix, Jenna and Sheba go to King Hydros's palace and into the throne room.* Guard: Excuse me, are you Lord Felix? Felix: O_O ... He called me a Lord! Jenna: >_> I'm sure he's just high. Sheba: Are you high? Guard: Hey! That tall cactus is talking to me! *laughs* Jenna: Uh, what? Guard: *seems to be talking to something invisible* So, my friend, old pal Hubert, let's blow this joint and go have a swinging time! Felix: I'm guessing he's high... Guard: Oh, you there, you can go through! Anyone can! Jenna: Let's... do that. *Felix, Jenna and Sheba go through.* Piers: Hi! Hydros: *claps hands together* Fantastic, they're here! =D Conservato: Uh, these ragamuffins... Hydros: My entertainment party! =D Sheba: Entertainment party? Hydros: *bounces up and down* Go on then! Put on a show for me! Jenna: Uh... is this guy insane or something? Hydros: Excellent, Piers! I must commend you! Sheba: SHUT UP! Hydros: ... Conservato: You dare to tell King Hydros to shut up, you infidel? Sheba: 'Infidel'-someone who does not believe. What is there to believe in? Conservato: *goes red in the face* How dare you be so impudent, child! Sheba: I was not being impudent, I was- Conservato: You are arguing with me! Lunpa: Excuse me! Piers: He's always this bad... Conservato: Shut up and let me finish, Lunpa! Lunpa: Don't tell me to shut up! Hydros: Hey, look! *grabs a feather duster and starts hitting Piers with it* Aren't I clever? ^_^ Piers: Senile old... Kraden: He is senile? Piers: And so are you! Felix: Hee hee! ^_^ Hydros: *puts one hand on hip and sticks other out* I'm a teapot ^_^ Lunpa: You are a lying old man and- Conservato: You thief! Lunpa and Conservato start wrestling. Lunpa: Die, Conservatomato! Conservato: Shut your hole, Loony Lunpa! Lunpa: Not until you've shut yours, (censored)-servato! Sheba: O_O Was that a bad word? Jenna: Wow, he sure has a foul mouth! Felix: Very... Piers: Um, Hydros... the world is shrinking... Hydros: So go light the lighthouses then! SILLY BILLY! Piers: My name's Piers... Hydros: My name's Hydros! ^______^ Piers: I know... Kraden: Come on, let's go and light the lighthouses- Felix: WAIT! Jenna: Grind Stone! Sheba: We need it! Hydros: Do you? *throws a rock at Piers* There it is! Piers: *catches it* It's just an ordinary rock... Hydros: They said they needed a stone! Lunpa: *kicks Conservato in the privates* Conservato: W-waaaaah! *runs towards exit. Felix and Jenna conveniently stick their feet out and he goes flying* Sheba: Ahahahahahahahaha! Conservato: You impudent children! Felix: You should have looked where you were going. Conservato: That's it! Hydros, cast them into the dungeons! Hydros: What, the ones with yellow feathers on the wall? Jenna: O_o Yellow feathers? Conservato: Forget it! *runs off crying* Youre all meanies! Lunpa: *sigh* Now then... *walks onto mirror and slips, sliding across* Yee-arrrgh! Sheba: Hey, what's that? *A chest comes falling from the sky and lands on Lunpa.* Lunpa: Oof! *pushes it off himself* Please, take what's in the chest x_x Felix: *opens chest and takes out Grind Stone* Finally... Piers: Hydros, we're going now... Hydros: Noooo! ;_; I havent shown them my Stuffed Flamingo Collection yet! Jenna: Erm, we're definitely going now ^_^; Sheba: Goodbye! Kraden: Wait, I want to see the Stuffed Flamingos- *Felix, Jenna, Sheba and Piers rush out, dragging Kraden along with them and run out of the palace, quickly exiting Lemuria and the Sea of Time.* Sheba: Well, we didn't spend very long there, huh? Jenna: It was too boring there... Felix: It was a pit... Piers: Now let's go! Kraden: *sobs* Stuffed Flamingos... Felix: The Great Western Sea awaits! *The group continues on and finally gets into the Great Western Sea, heading for Hesperia.*
