Zoe and Synan walk with Prisem down
|
||
|
||
a dark hallway. Prisem is sure it leads to the
|
||
|
||
volcano. After a short while, the pass a locked
|
||
|
||
wooden door.
|
||
|
||
“That door goes up to Skyber’s Fortress.”
|
||
|
||
Prisem says.
|
||
|
||
“What is a Skyber?” Zoe asks.
|
||
|
||
“A thunderbird.”
|
||
|
||
“Is the Thunder Barrier up there?” Synan
|
||
|
||
asks.
|
||
|
||
“Yes. Now let’s get moving.”
|
||
|
||
They walk on a little further and the dark
|
||
|
||
hallways light up red. Soon, they are in a room of
|
||
|
||
unbearable heat. In the center is a large rock
|
||
|
||
hanging by four powerful chains. On the rock are
|
||
|
||
monsters that look like combinations of Prisem and
|
||
|
||
Crystal.
|
||
|
||
“This must be Emerald’s Crater.” Zoe says.
|
||
|
||
“Yeah. It is, and those things out there are
|
||
|
||
Emeralds.”
|
||
|
||
In Emerald, Crystal is on top, held by
|
||
|
||
Prisem’s electricity. They walk along the pathway
|
||
|
||
around the side to a bridge that goes to the
|
||
|
||
rock. They slowly cross the bridge and talk to the
|
||
|
||
Emeralds. One Emerald decides to join Synan.
|
||
|
||
Now Synan has Monk, Crystal, and Emerald,
|
||
|
||
and Zoe has Clawz and Prisem.
|
||
|
||
A shadow covers the rock. Synan and
|
||
|
||
Zoe look up through the opening of the volcano.
|
||
|
||
A large floating island hovers slowly across the
|
||
|
||
top.
|
||
|
||
“Prisem. What is that?” Zoe asks.
|
||
|
||
“That’s called Sky Island. The Lightning
|
||
|
||
Palace is on it, where you will need the Thunder
|
||
|
||
Key.”
|
||
|
||
“Cool...” Zoe says looking at it.
|
||
|
||
In the dark shadow, James swoops
|
||
|
||
down from the sky. He lands in front of them.
|
||
|
||
“All right, kids. This time, you will NOT
|
||
|
||
win!”
|
||
|
||
“You and who’s army?” Zoe says.
|
||
|
||
“Ico is here with me.”
|
||
|
||
“Ico?” Synan asks.
|
||
|
||
“That’s the monster who warped us here.”
|
||
|
||
Zoe whispers.
|
||
|
||
Up in the sky, the monster that warped
|
||
|
||
Synan to The Land of No Return falls and lands
|
||
|
||
next to James. Ico is all blue. His head is a sideways
|
||
|
||
oval, divided down the horizontal middle. On the
|
||
|
||
bottom of the divide is a cyclops eye. On Ico’s
|
||
|
||
breastplates are black stars. Ico’s arms and legs
|
||
|
||
are blue, with gray diamond-shaped elbowpads
|
||
|
||
and kneepads. On its belly is a red W shape
|
||
|
||
stretched across the front and back. Ico’s shorts
|
||
|
||
a also gray.
|
||
|
||
“Synan. Wizeman sees how long you
|
||
|
||
and Zoe are lasting here. Much longer than
|
||
|
||
expected. So I was commanded to defeat
|
||
|
||
you.” Ico says.
|
||
|
||
“Not a chance!”
|
||
|
||
Synan’s Monk, Crystal, and Emerald
|
||
|
||
with Zoe’s Clawz and Prisem, and all the
|
||
|
||
Emeralds here team up to defeat James and
|
||
|
||
Ico. Ico gets nearly defeated and flies away.
|
||
|
||
James cowers out and follows.
|
||
|
||
Afterward, Synan and Zoe leave the rock
|
||
|
||
and go through a different tunnel away from the
|
||
|
||
crater. They soon get to an underground village.
|
||
|
||
There are lots of red cyclops monsters here.
|
||
|
||
There is a space around their eyeball
|
||
|
||
in the middle. They are shaped like an oval outline.
|
||
|
||
On the upper-left and right sides sprout wings. Its
|
||
|
||
feet are along the bottom. They have a horn at
|
||
|
||
the very center-top of their heads.
|
||
|
||
“Welcome to Mr. I Village!” Prisem says,
|
||
|
||
mocking a tour guide.
|
||
|
||
“So. I’m assuming these things are called
|
||
|
||
Mr. I.” Zoe says. In the roof of this underground
|
||
|
||
village is a small hole where the sky can be seen.
|
||
|
||
A Mr. I approaches them.
|
||
|
||
“So. I take it you two took the hard way
|
||
|
||
to get here. Take this key to get here more
|
||
|
||
easily next time.”
|
||
|
||
Mr. I gives Synan the Fire Key. Zoe
|
||
|
||
still has the Garden Key and Ice Key. The Fire
|
||
|
||
Key is red metal with a three-pointed flame
|
||
|
||
symbol on the end. Now that they notice, the
|
||
|
||
Ice Key is blue metal with a symbol at the
|
||
|
||
end too. Its symbol is a small circle with lines
|
||
|
||
extending from each end.
|
||
|
||
“Well, now we have two of the elemental
|
||
|
||
keys. Two to go!” Prisem says.
