Pretty Boring Introduction on How this Story Came to Be-

Well, it all started when I wanted to write a GS fic. So, I racked my brain and tried to think up a plotline. I could write out the entire game- but that would take too long and plus there are already way too many stories like that. There isn't really much room for side-quests during the course of the adventure, either. I could write my interpretation about events after the end of GS, but that would be obsolete by Christmas, when the Lost Age FINALLY comes out. So then, I thought- Why not take the GS crew somewhere else? Then the logical place came to mind- Redwall Abbey! So, you probably won't understand everything unless you've read the Redwall books (which, by the way, is the best series in the world and everyone in their right minds should read!)

Setting: This takes place slightly after the conclusion of Pearls of Lutra (one of my favorites!) and after the Adepts have boarded the Lemurian ship. Now on with the fic!

Garet: You forgot the disclaimer.

Oh, shut up, you stupid Fire Adept! (Casts whirlwind on him and blows him far away) Ahem... Naturally, I do not own Redwall or Golden Sun! Though I wish I did... As I was saying, on with the fic!

"Ivan! Can't you watch where you're going?"

The Jupiter Adept skidded to a halt, grinning sheepishly at Garet. He had just knocked over Garet's carefully created house of cards as he ran past them. The bad thing about this was that it was the fifth time he had done so in the past ten minutes, and the strain was beginning to tell on the Mars Adept's nerves.

"Sorry, Garet." Ivan said, jumping up and down a little as he spoke. "It's just that I'm really tired of staying on this tiny little ship! We've been sailing for two weeks, you know."

"I'm tired of it, too," replied Garet, resignedly scooping up the fallen cards, "but you don't see me running around the ship like a maniac, do you?"

Isaac, carefully steering the ship with the help of his Djinn, turned and commented, "That's because you've been seasick for almost the entire time we've been out here!"

"No one asked you, Isaac." Garet muttered. "It's not my fault I'm a fire adept."

Mia poked her head out the cabin door. "Lunchtime, everybody."

"Oh, goodie!" exclaimed Ivan, bouncing like a two-year old towards the Mercury Adept. Garet just groaned.

"What's wrong, Garet?" asked Mia, concerned. "Are you sick again?"

"No," he replied, "but all Ivan's bouncing has made me lose my appetite."

"Hey, Ivan!" Isaac teased. "You should remember to do that when we get back to shore. Maybe then our food supplies will last at least a day after we buy them!"

"Not funny, Isaac." Said Garet, leaning back against the wooden side of the ship.

"Bane, will you take over for a while?" Isaac asked, as the brown Djinn materialized on his shoulder.

"Aye aye, Captain!" said Bane, hopping onto the Black Orb.

"For the hundredth time, Bane, don't call me Captain!" joked Isaac. Leaving the Djinn and Garet behind, he headed inside.

A few hours after lunch, Garet was getting angry again. Ivan had "borrowed" Mia's Douse Drop, and was currently engaged in putting out the fires Garet was trying to light for practice.

"Will you STOP, Ivan?" he shouted in exasperation after Ivan put out his Flare Wall once again.

"All right, which one of you three wise guys took my Douse Drop?" said Mia angrily, emerging from her room. Both Isaac and Garet looked at Ivan.

"I was going to give it back." said Ivan, handing the blue gem back to its owner.

"Ivan," Mia sighed, accepting the Drop. "I don't know what's gotten into you lately."

"He's just a little hyper from being cooped up too long." said Isaac, who was again manning the Black Orb.

"A LITTLE hyper?" said Garet, stepping over a puddle of water on the deck.

"I think Ivan's not the only one who has been feeling the effects of this voyage.." Said Ivan's wind Djinni, Gust.

"Who asked you?" said Garet, angrily. He began advancing upon Ivan. "I'm sick and tired of the way you've been acting, Ivan. All you've been doing this entire trip is trying to annoy me!"

"Oh, yeah?" replied Ivan, holding his ground and clutching his Crystal Rod tighter. "Well, all you've been doing is yelling at me!"

"Do you want a fight, Ivan?" shouted Garet Is that it? Well, then, you've got one! Flare Wall!"

Ivan jumped back just in time as a wall of searing flames appeared where he had been standing a moment before.

"Garet! Ivan! Stop it!" Mia cried, but it was too late. Ivan raised a hand and yelled, "Shine Plasma!" Bolts of lightning hit the ship, narrowly missing Garet. Garet retaliated by casting Volcano. The scorching psynergy rained down, hitying Ivan on the arm. Biting back against the pain, the Jupiter Adept cast Whirlwind.

The scene soon disintegrated into chaos. Isaac and Mia, separated from their battling friends by a wall of flames and a whirling cone of wind, watched helplessly as Garet and Ivan attempted to seriously injure each other. Garet drew his Silver Blade, thrusting out at Ivan. The Jupiter Adept retaliated quickly, bringing up his Crystal Rod to stop the attack. The fighters matched each other blow for blow, Ivan continually blocking Garet's sword strokes. The Psynergy surrounding them grew in intensity as the struggle continued. Both Adepts were glowing like twin suns because of the immense power required to maintain their psynergetic barriers.

"We've got to do something, Isaac, before they kill each other!" cried Mia.

"I'm open to suggestions, Mia!" replied Isaac, his eyes on the unfolding combat. He had never seen Garet and Ivan so angry before. Both Adepts had gained tremendous experience during the course of their adventure, and Isaac had no doubt that in their current state both were capiable of finishing each other off.

The sky above the ship turned dark and stormy. The cold wind roared, making the once calm waves turn into grey, foaming mountains. Mia became increasingly alarmed as lightning bolts struck the water near the Lemurian vessel.

"This has gone on long enough!" she cried, running towards her battling friends.

"Mia!" shouted Isaac, his voice nearly drowned out by the howling of the storm. "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to stop them before they make us all drown!"

Mia ran up to the psynergetic barriers surrounding Garet and Ivan, sending a torrent of water upon the firewall with her regained Douse Drop. A portion of the flames died down, letting her pass through the obstruction. Isaac, worried about her safety, ran after her. He jumped through the flames before the gap completely closed.

"Stop it, you two!" cried Mia, approaching the combatants. She raised her hand high unto the heavens, and a gigantic spike of ice crashed down between Ivan and Garet. Startled, they lowered their weapons.

"Garet, get rid of the fire." She commanded. "Ivan, stop the storm. NOW!"

Both boys immediately ceased glowing, looking at the Mercury Adept uncertainly. Mia could get very scary when she became mad. The firewall and the winds that had been encircling the pair disappeared. However, the lightning continued to strike, the waves were still enormous, and the force of the wind was reaching a crescendo pitch over the sea.

"Ivan!" shouted Mia. "I said STOP the STORM!"

"I'm not doing it!" he shouted back.

"Yeah, right, Ivan!" yelled Garet. Ivan raised his Crystal rod again, but at that very moment a gigantic bolt of lightning struck the deck of the ship, not far from where the adepts were standing.

The force of the impact threw the four friends high into the air. As they soared aloft, they were caught by collossal force of the gale. The storm winds were now blowing so strongly that they had created a funnel of seawater that engulfed the remains of the vessel. Isaac, separated from the others, was carried along within a wall of swirling wind and water. He could no longer see the ship, the sky, or anything else. For a second, he thought he saw Mia's limp form rush past him. He had time to call out her name once before a broken spar of wood hit his head, and everything went black.
