The Land of No Return The First Movie After Veronica's defeat on earth, she sits at the top of Wizeman's Castle. As she looks upon the earth, she notices a thunderstorm is starting. She becomes a bird and flies to the ground. Synan, James, and Clawz run into Synan's house as it begins to rain. Veronica sits on a tree branch outside as a black bird and studies Synan carefully. "How could he win?", she thought. Synan defeated Veronica with the black stone claw on his arm. Now, the claw shrunk back down to a small stone. Clawz senses an evil force outside. "Synan! An evil force is near. I can feel it." "Where, Clawz?", Synan replies. "Outside. There!" Clawz points to the bird, "That bird!" "A crow?" "No. Its...Veronica!" "What?!?" Synan and James power up and run outside. The crow flies away, Synan and James chasing it. Clawz developed a psychic power to fly after the previous fight with Veronica. Clawz flies to the house next door. Synan and James chase Veronica all the way to a new island. Not Ico Island, but a new one. Veronica finally stops and becomes herself again. "Synan! James! I will win next time!" "Yeah, how?" "I have infinite monsters up my sleeve. I have four powerful ones. Four elemental guardians. Lightning...Fire...Water...Earth..." "What are you babbling?" "Tomarrow, I will release them upon the earth. You will pay!" Lightning flashes and lights up the sky, revealing Clawz, carrying Zoe to the island. "Synan!", Zoe shouts. Clawz drops Zoe on the island, and she runs toward Synan. "Zoe, you sure have a habit of going to every unsafe place on earth, don't you?" "Uhh, well, this is only the second time..." "In a row.." "Oh, well. You're here, aren't you? "Yeah, but I have more experience." "I need experience too!" "Ok, but stay out of trouble." "Right." Zoe runs behind a large boulder, as a flock of Skyber fly through the stormclouds. "Oh, cool ducks!", Zoe comments from behind the boulder. The Skybers suddenly start a lightning attack, and the clouds shoot lightning back and forth and finally down, striking Veronica. "Ahhhhhhh! Lighting..curse you..lightning!" Veronica's body is lit up with lightning, and four beams of multicolored lightning flash away. One yellow, one blue. One green, one red. The yellow lightning bolt forms six shapes. First, a head shape, with narrow, cat-like eyes and lightning bolt shaped horns. The head's overall shape looks like the head of a wasp. Below that, a spheric shape forms. A round yellow ball with a jagged lightning symbol going down it. Two three fingered hands appear at its sides, and two toed feet are duplicated under it. Its body sections are seperated, like a Rayman. The blue lightning bolt becomes a human shape, shaped like Veronica, even with the tail. It becomes like a blue see-through Veronica. The red lightning bolt forms a giant flame, which becomes like a flaming Veronica, minus the tail. The green bolt makes two large stone hands with a body in the center of them. Lightning speaks, "Veronica! Are these the humans you wanted us to finish?" "You four weren't expected untill tomarrow!", Veronica replies. Fire speaks, "Veronica! Answer the question!" "Alright! Water, take the girl to The Land of No Return. Lock her in an ice cube and send it to Wizeman as a warning." "At once, master." Water grabs Zoe and carries her to the island. "Fire! You'll attack our traitor, James." "Yes, master." Fire approaches James. "Lightning! You will take care of Synan, won't you?" "I would be honored, master." Lightning approaches Synan. "And Earth. You will take care of Clawz, will you no?" "Clawz it is, master." Earth approaches Clawz. Veronica chuckles as the battle begins. Water returns from the sky. "All frozen and wrapped for delivery! I'm sure Lord Wizeman would love it!" "Water. He is not 'Lord Wizeman'. He is just Wizeman. I am your master now, Water!" "Yes ma'am. Sorry." "Well, well. What can I do with you now?" "What about Ico, master?" "Ah yes, Ico. Bring Ico here." Water glides through the ocean toward Ico's island. Lightning zaps Synan, as James is being scorched. Clawz is in an earthly headlock. Spyke, on The Land of No Return, finds the frozen Zoe. Spyke brings it inside to Wizeman. "Hmm, another human? Spyke! Where did you get this?" "I found it at the door." "Yes. Mr.I! Get in here!" Mr. I flies through the window. "Mr.I. Bring this ice sculpture to Emerald's Crater. Bring back its hostage." "Yes, sir." Mr. I grabs the ice block and flies toward the volcano. Back on earth, Synan James and Clawz are still fighting. Synan's Dark Stone grows into a claw again. Synan swings at Lightning, launching its left hand into the ocean. Mr. I drops the ice cube in Emerald's Crater. The Emeralds complain, "Hey, foo! What're doin? Trying to freeze us?" "No. The crater should melt the ice cube." After about two days, Synan, James, and Clawz are badly injured. Zoe finally unthaws and finds her way out of the volcano with the help of Emerald. "Hey. You don't happen to know Synan, do you? He helped me before, at Crystal's Cave. I was only a Prisem then. Took me a while to escape Ico's prison tower at the Castle, but the battle of Veronica broke my cell open. Thank him for me, ok?" "I will, Emerald. Where are they all now?" Zoe climbs the staircase to Wizeman's Tower. Emerald follows. At the top of Wizeman's Tower, Zoe can see Earth. She sees that the storm that started everything has passed from the island, and Veronica has left the island. She can't see much, but the yellow, red, blue, and green flashes of the titans' magic attacks. Wizeman uses his power to send Zoe back to the island on Earth. Orb, Octa, Octo, and Jelly-Fly follow her to help save Earth. When Zoe arrives, Synan and James are knocked unconsious, and all the titans are attacking Clawz. Jelly-Fly flies to James and Synan and uses the healing attack to heal them. Fire goes back to attacking James, as Lightning returns to Synan. That night, a comet falls from the sky and sinks into the ocean. A dark black blur rises from the water. When it comes together, the blur looks like Veronica, but has a red star on its stomach and a red spike on the end of its tail. The spike glows purplish like a neon light. "Titans! Who brought you here?" "Our master Veronica. Why? Who are you and what can you do about it?" "I am Veronicus, clone of Veronica!" "Veronicus!?!" "I am more upgraded than Veronica. Pitiful girl. Haven't seen her in ages. Where is the little weasel?" "Veronica went to check on Water at Ico Island." "But enough talk! You're slowing us down!" Veronicus flies to Ico Island. Synan removes the Dark Crystal from his right arm, and gives it to Zoe. "Take this, Zoe. We need Ico's help. Keep Jelly-Fly safe, because he can heal all of us. Stop Lightning from following me." "Ok.." Zoe puts the crystal on her neck. "Its safer here." Synan flies after Veronicus. After a long flight, Synan arrives at the temple, only to find that it is--shattered! Ico's ice imprisonment...ice chunks lie all over the sand. Nobody's here. Zoe flies over the ocean, only she's not in a mega-monster form, and she looks like she got attacked and launched. Zoe lands in the ocean about twenty feet from Ico Island. Synan swims out to find her. James and Clawz are still fighting. Ico appears in the sky. "James! You traitor! I thought you were on our side!" Ico dosen't seem to be himself. His skin is dark purple instead of blue, and instead of a \/\/ he has a \/. Veronica appears behind him, joined with Water. James replies, "I had to, Ico! You were trying to take over The Land of No Return! You were pure evil!" "No, James! I believe you are the enemy here." "Ico! Didn't Veronica's banishing you to an imprisonment of ice teach you anything?" "I was born of ice. That was nothing." "Veronica is your enemy!" "Veronica? She couldn't be. My imprisonment was to strengthen me." "Ico-" Ico interrupts James and begins attacking. Synan flies to the city in search of Veronicus, carrying Zoe. When Synan arrives at his house, a Jelly-Fly greets him. "The girl's condition is severe. It may take days, even with my power, to heal her. She should stay here." "Ok. I gotta find a Light Crystal." "Light? I don't know what you're talking about, but the Orbs have moved to a pond north of the city. They might know." Synan leaves Zoe with Jelly-Fly and flies toward the city. Synan arrives above the city and the golden flame surrounding him flickers and disappears, dropping Synan to the pavement. "Does the power disappear without the stone? That means, James!". James didn't ever have a stone to begin with, and if Synan lost his power by giving the stone to Zoe, then James would lose his power too. Sure enough, James did lose his power and could not battle. "Where did Jelly-Fly go?" Right before James got defeated by Fire, Veronicus arrived and knocked Fire out. Synan continues running to the pond. He soon arrives, and there are a countless number of Orbs hovering over the pond. "Orbs. Do any of you know of the Light Stone? Its the opposite of the Dark Stone." "Huh, well, duh! Whats a 'Dark Stone' anyway?" "Oh, I have one here...err..I don't." "Well, where is this fairy tale item you make up?" "Well, its what Wizeman had on his head." "Ohh, that was the V Stone though." "Big diff. It was a Dark Stone containing Veronica. V is for Veronica!" "Here's a quarter. Call someone who CARES!" "Seriously. Where is it?" "Right here. Its missing a piece. Those annoying, lame, good for nothing humans probably made a necklace out of the other half. Ohh, those humans...insanitary...pitiful..." "Gee, I'd love to let you cut us down more, but I'm in a hurry." A Blue Orb comes to Synan and gives him half of a blue stone. "This stone will evolve a monster. It will then make that monster become a mega-monster." Synan releases Jr. Ico from the ideya and touches the stone to its body. Nothing happens. "Darn! I need the other half, don't I?" "That is correct." Veronicus defeats Earth, stopping Clawz's misery. Synan returns home and walks inside to check up on Zoe. There are four people here: Synan's mom, Jelly-Fly, Zoe, and--the shady old man from the shop, before the LNR nightmare ever began. The old man speaks, "Synan, I have a confession to make. Its been buggin' me. I didn't invent the Ideya marble. I found it when I had an adventure on The Land of No Return. Wizeman created the marbles." "No. Not Wizeman, but Veronica. Veronica lived inside the purple stone on Wizeman's head. Like the one on Zoe's neck, except with a black star." "Ohh, strange." "Oh yeah, I noticed that too," Synan's mom states, "It looks like this blue rock necklace I have on, except with the other half." "Blue? Let me see that!" Synan's mom gives Synan the necklace. Synan puts his half of the blue stone to the necklace. It fits perfectly! On combine, the halves merge together and become one. Zoe is still injured. Jelly-Fly is still healing her, sprinkling pink dust all over the area. Synan sends out Jr. Ico. James and Clawz are still badly injured. Veronicus attacks Lightning. Synan puts the necklace on Jr. Ico, and he evolves into Ico. Ico then powers up like a mega-monster, except the surrounding flame is blue instead of gold. "Ico! Can you contact Wizeman from here?" "Yes, Synan, I can." "Ok, then tell him to send another Jelly-Fly and some backup monsters." Ico remains silent and metitates a few minutes, and says, "It is done. Jelly-Fly should be here any minute." James and Clawz drag themselves behind boulders to protect themselves, as Veronicus finishes off Water and begins attacking Veronica. The Jelly-Fly that Wizeman just sent flies to the battle island and heals James and Clawz. Clawz comments, "I wonder where Synan is? I wonder if Zoe is alright." "I'm sure they're both alright. They have to be." Veronicus defeats Veronica and the storm clears up. Mega Monster ZOE carries Synan (for once) to the island the next morning. Clawz and James seem happy to see them. Veronicus stands victorious over the defeated Veronica. Zoe and Synan land and Zoe gives Synan the Dark Stone. "I won't be needing this. Its better if you keep it." Veronica gets back on her feet. "So, Veronicus, what are you going to do now?" "I think I'll protect Earth, incase you attack again." "Don't worry, I'll be more upgraded than you next time I take over." "I'll be training too, so don't count on it." An army of Orbs leaded by Blue Orb come to the island, carrying an Emerald. "Synan!", the Emerald yells. Emerald jumps off the Orbs and runs to Synan. "Remember me? You helped me get into the Crystal Cave. Still have the Ice Egg?" "Right here," Synan pushes Ico forward, "Here it is." "Oh, so it hatched, huh?" The Orbs walk up to Synan, "If we knew about all of this, we would have helped you sooner. What??" The Orbs fly to Synan's Ico monster, "The Light Stone? You have the other half! We'll let you guys keep the stone. It may be useful a second time." "Thanks.", Synan answers. Synan, Ico, Mega Ico, James, Clawz, Zoe, Jelly-Fly, Emerald, and the Orbs get back to Synan's house. In the sky, they see Veronicus flying into the clouds. Veronica returns to The Land of No Return. The Orbs comment, "Synan. Know why they call it The Land of No Return? Its because you're not supposed to return! But in your case, you escaped the island." "Yeah. What luck, huh?" James adds, "So, are you still beaming humans up there?" "No. Since we saw how easily Synan escaped, Wizeman decided not to." The Orb has something else to say. "Well, I was wondering. Now, why are we here?" "Because we escaped?" "No. Because they don't want us over there! Get it?" "Oh, yeah, sure.", Zoe answers. Orb goes on telling jokes. "Knock Knock!" "Who's there?" "Andy." "Andy who?" "And he bit me again!" ..."What do you call a fly buzzing around in Veronica's head?" "A space invader!" (etc...) --THE END--
