Zoe, Synan, and Elsie walk down the
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
fuchsia pathway that leads away from the
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
cave’s exit.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“So, Synan, what really went on in
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
that room?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Some invisible guy pulverized me.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Was it Syrus?” Zoe laughs.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“No. I don’t know who it was.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Elsie is riding on Synan’s back again.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Skyber is back in its ideya.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
So far, Zoe’s monsters are Clawz,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Prisem, and Skyber, and Synan’s are
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Monk, Crystal, and Emerald.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Elsie looks back. “Look!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zoe and Synan look back. On top
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
of the cave is the mist-like monster they
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
saw in the cave.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zoe looks forward. “Synan, look!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synan looks forward. Ahead of them
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
is a large castle surrounded by a lava moat.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Elsie gasps and jumps off Synan’s
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
back. Elsie runs toward the side of the volcano,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
to a small camp site. There are two people
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
already there, a man and a woman. They must
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
be Elsie’s parents.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Thank you, Synan and Zoe, for
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
bringing me back to my parents.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Elsie’s parents walk over to meet
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synan and Zoe.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Hi. My name is Logan, and my wife’s
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
name is Alisha.” The father says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“We’re Synan and--” Synan says. Zoe
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
interrupts, “And Zoe.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Nice to meet you.” The mother says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Here, Elsie. Take this book. If you
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
touch its picture, it will bring us to you, whenever
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
you want.” Zoe says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Thank you.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“You’re welcome.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Well, its been nice meeting all of you,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
but we gotta go now.” Synan says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synan and Zoe get back on the path
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
and continue toward the castle. When they arrive,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
they see a familiar face sitting on a nearby rock
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
playing GameBoy.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Syrus!” Zoe says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“It’s about time you got here, Synan.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“What?” Synan says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“I’ve been waiting for quite some time
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
for you to arrive.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Yeah, well, we had to help Elsie get
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
un-lost.” Zoe says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Zoe. I’m not talking to you, am I?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“...”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“So anyway, Synan. What monsters
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
do you got?”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synan releases all his monsters. Monk,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Crystal, and Emerald.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Ha, ha, ha. Those have to be the
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
weakest monsters!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zoe releases her Clawz, Prisem, and
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Skyber.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Oh, so you got a Clawz. That’s a
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
rare one-of-a-kind monster.” Syrus mocks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“But look at MY monsters!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Syrus throws TEN Ideya Marbles.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Out of each one comes a monster. Ten
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
monsters: Monk, Blue Orb, Wizeman,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Jr. Ico, Emerald, Mr. I, Skyber, Octa,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Octo, and Jelly-Fly.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synan’s mouth drops open.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“And look. Ever seen one of
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
these?” Syrus holds out what appears
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
to be an Ideya but its blue instead of red.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“These things will capture any monster
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
without fail!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Whoa!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“So, Synan. Ready to battle? You
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
can use Zoe’s monsters too, if you think it
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
will help. All my monster are level 58/100.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Forget it, Syrus.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Why, are your monsters at level
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
3. Oh, no, that was too harsh. I meant to
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
say negative 3.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Hey Syrus! Close your eyes and
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
press this little square down.” Zoe holds
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
open a linking book. Syrus falls for it and
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
links all the way back to the guard towers.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Sucker.” Zoe says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“So, this must be the castle of Lord
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Wizeman.” Synan says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Yep. Must be.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zoe releases Skyber and it
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
carries Synan and Zoe over the wall of
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Wizeman’s Fortress. Inside the courtyard,
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
they hear a linking sound from outside. Syrus’
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
voice yells “Where did you go you brats?!”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zoe and Synan try to stop laughing.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Looks like he also had some linking
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
books.” Zoe says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“That’s odd. Syrus has been to every
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
place on the island, but we never saw him anywhere.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Synan says.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“Yeah. It is weird, isn’t it.”
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Zoe and Synan walk to the center tower.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
They walk up the winding staircase to the top floor:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Wizeman’s Keep. Zoe slightly opens the door to peek
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
in. She hears a conversation going on so closes the door
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
so that it is just open enough to hear what they are saying.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The voices inside sound like Ico, Sarah, James, and the
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
last one must be Wizeman himself.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“What is Sarah doing all the way here?” Zoe asks.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
“I don’t know, but it looks like we’re going to find
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
out.” Synan says.
