(Final7Darkness)
Getting all trained up for the final battle against the Fourth-Dimensional Being; Luther. Fayt and his party are battling monsters out on the open fields of Aquaria, they have just won a battle.
“I feel stronger” said Fayt as he draw his sword away. “You said it Fayt...you're a lot stronger since the first time I saw you back on Vanguard III” said Cliff as he patted Fayt's back. “Say Maria?” asked Peppita as she stood next to her. “Yes, what is it?” asked Maria as she looked at her.
“You know that power you have” answered Peppita. “My Alteration Powers?” asked Maria. “Yeah that, can you like change the strength of us all so we can finish Luther in one hit?” asked Peppita. “I don't know really, all my powers can do is change the matter of each object” answered Maria. “Hay can you try doing it?” asked Peppita.
“What's this about?” asked Fayt as he walked up to them. “Oh Peppita wanted to know if my powers have the ability to increase our strength to take down Luther in one hit” answered Maria as she looked at Fayt. “Can you?” asked Fayt as he was interested at that statement.
“If you like, I can try it on you to see if it makes a difference” said Maria as a smiled crossed her face. “Don't worry I can use Healing Symbology in case anything gone wrong” said Sophia as she held on her wand ready.
“Thanks...well then, lets try this” said Fayt as he was all ready. “Okay then, good luck” said Maria as she held her right hand towards Fayt and casted her Alteration Spell. Fayt was then covered in a strange blue aura.
Just before Maria was about to finish casting, a bright light flashed, blinding everyone. During the blindness, the sound of Maria screaming echoed. As everyone could see again, they noticed that both Maria and Fayt are gone.
“What the? Where are they?” asked Nel as she noticed that the two of them are gone. “Hay I think I can see Maria being dragged away!” shouted Cliff as he looked out at the distance and saw Maria being carried away by two people.
“Those kidnappers will not get away from me!” shouted Andray as he gave chase. “Hay wait up!” shouted Cliff as chased after them along side him. “What should we do?” asked Sophia as she was worried that she couldn't even see Fayt with Maria.
As Peppita was about to chase after the kidnappers, she noticed something at the edge of her left foot. “Hay what's that?” asked Peppita as she bent down and picked it up. As she and the other girls looked at the palms of Peppita's hands was a three inch unconscious Fayt.
“Wha...the?” said Nel as she looked in disbelief at the little Fayt. “How is this ment to power Fayt up?” asked Sophia as she picked Fayt up from Peppita's hands and held him by her right index finger thumb to her face.
Just then Fayt began to regain conscious,
“He's waking up” said Sophia as she looked at the others. The two others poked their heads behind Sophia as they looked at Fayt opening his eyes. Fayt opened his eyes and noticed that he was hanging in mid air, thinking he might have been teleported somewhere hanging on a branch.
“Erm...Fayt?”echoed a loud female voice. Fayt looked up and saw three huge faces looking at him. Fayt just looked at them without blinking before rubbing his eyes and looked again. Sophia slowly put him on her other hand, once placed, he began to scream due to the shock.
To the three of them, they found it funny to the sound of his high pitch scream. “Calm down Fayt...everything is all right” said Sophia as she tried to calm him down. “How...how did this happen?” asked Fayt.
“It might have been a miscount on Maria behalf. I think that when she was about to finish using her powers was when she was...” said Nel but she took a long pause and finished saying, “kidnapped” “You say what?” asked Fayt as he looked at her.
“Cliff and Andray ran off after the kidnappers...we were about to follow but then we found you” answered Peppita. “Then what do I do at the mean time?” asked Fayt he sat down with his arms crossed. “We head off towards town and wait for the guys to return” answered Nel as she looked at the nearest town that they are closed to.
“We shall rest in the Trading Town of Peterny till the other return” she said as she led the way.
It took them a few battles before they reach the gates of the town. The four them headed off towards the town INN. “Hay guys” said a familiar voice. With Fayt hidden behind Sophia's back as the three girls looked at whom spoke and saw that it was Welch with her Handy Stick in hand.
“Oh hi Welch, what are doing?” asked Peppita. “I felt like taking a walk before going back to work” answered Welch. Unknown to Sophia, she was losing grip to Fayt as moments later, he fell from her hands.
“Is something wrong?” asked Welch as she noticed that Sophia has a worried look on her face. “What oh...I'm fine, I'm fine...just a bit tired at all those monster battles” answered Sophia as she felt that Fayt was no longer in her hands.
“In that case, then I leave you lot to it” said Welch as she smiled at her and the others as she walked off. As soon as Welch was far away, Sophia turned to look at the others and saw that they didn't have Fayt. “Where's Fayt?” asked Sophia as she looked at the ground to see if she can see him.
“Oh no..no...no!” said Peppita as she knelt down on the floor to get a better look but still couldn't see him. “Okay, lets not panic girls...think, in moment that Fayt fell out of Sophia's hands where would he be?” asked Nel as she looked at the two.
The three of them thought for a moment before a light bulb lit up in their heads as they all had the same answer, “Welch!” said the three of them at the same moment.
Right towards where Welch is right now, swinging on her Handy Stick; unknown to her was that a shrunken Fayt was clinging on its index finger. “Why me?” said Fayt as he shut his eyes while holding onto for his life.
Meanwhile with the chase of Maria's kidnappers,
“Gasp...those little...they are very fast for dragging someone” said Cliff as he was catching his breath as he noticed that they were no where near catching them. “Don't lose fate friend, we shall save our ally in battle” said Andray as he patted Cliff on the back.
“You said it, I'm looking forward at introducing them to my friends” said Cliff as he looked at his fists as he does his trade mark by slamming his fist into his other hand's palm. “Hmm” laughed Andray as he looked at the kidnappers and noticed the direction they were going.
“What is it?” asked Cliff as he looked at Andray's face. “They're heading towards the Sanmite Republic” answered Andray as he looked at him. “The Sanmite Republic huh...I think its time to visit a friend” said Cliff as he walked off towards the location.
Back with Fayt,
Fayt felt himself letting go and he went flying off the index finger of Welch's Handy Stick. Fayt landed onto the floor with a thump, he opened his eyes and rubbed his sore bits till he felt better. “Where...where am I?” asked Fayt to himself as he noticed that he was standing on a see through floor.
All of a sudden, the whole area that he was engulfed in a bright light. As the light dimmed down and Fayt's sight came back, to his surprise he saw Mirage standing a few feet away from in him in her fighting stance. Fayt noticed something was wrong as he saw Mirage wearing what he could tell was a French maid outfit.
Fayt even noticed that the area that he was once in was now in the outdoors. Am I back to normal? thought Fayt as he looked upwards. Before Fayt had time to react, Mirage went running towards him with her right foot flying towards his face. This knocked him back onto the floor, he looked in shock not knowing what to expect.
Seeing as how he has no choice, Fayt drew out his sword and went in to battle. “Blade of Fury!” shouted Fayt as he swung his sword at Mirage three times with it giving off a blue aura like mist. “Electric Fists!” screamed Mirage as she slammed her two fists into Fayt, her third hit forced Fayt onto the floor.
“Ouch...didn't thought it would that painful” said Fayt as he swung himself back onto his feet. He looked at Mirage and saw that she didn't had any emotion on her face. “Are you...okay?” asked Fayt as he took a step towards her but Mirage went running towards him and shouted, “Hammer of Might!”
She jumped into the air and some sort of wave forced Fayt onto the floor. “Gasp...losing MP” said Fayt as he climbed back. “Very well Mirage” said Fayt as he looked at Mirage as he has his sword ready in hand.
Fayt aimed his left hand towards Mirage, Mirage suddenly couldn't move as Fayt said, “Dimension” with this said, a dark purple energy flooded the floor. Mirage was taking damage in both HP and MP, Mirage looked at Fayt and saw that he vanished but reappeared in a flash with a sword sliced through her. “Door” said Fayt as he looked at Mirage as she slowly burst out into a flash of light.
“What the?” asked Fayt to himself as he was confused about what he just saw. The area that he was in suddenly faded away back into what he was in the first time he opened his eyes.
Before Fayt could think of a way to get out, the same bright light engulfed the area and as the light dimmed down and found his sight back, he found himself in what he could tell was the Moonbase. To his surprise, he saw himself a few feet away dressed in black clothes along with red garments. The other Fayt has brown hair inside of blue.
Upon seeing this, a thought brought into his mind when he knew where he was. He looked up at the stars of Moonbase and shouted, “Paracelsus's Table! I'm in the Paracelsus's Table!”
Meanwhile,
Welch was in her Craftsman Guild playing on the Paracelsus's Table until she heard a light voice shouting the name of the table she was playing on. Welch looked around the room she was in and saw that there was no one around.
She went back to playing the Paracelsus's Table until she heard the same voice coming from the it. She towards it and saw that the blue hair Fayt was acting out of character as he was looking upwards.
Welch turned the Paracelsus's Table off and saw that blue hair Fayt was still there looking up. “Fayt?” asked Welch as she noticed that the blue hair Fayt responded to her voice. “Welch?” said Fayt as he looked up at her as she with her left hand picked Fayt by his collar.
“I'm still small” said Fayt as he hanged his head. “Wha...what happened?” asked Welch as she held him in front of her face. Fayt looked up at her and answered her question and on what's to happen. “Wow...I didn't know that Runology can change people's size” said Welch as she placed Fayt on the palm of her right hand.
“I'm stuck like this till Maria gets rescued” said Fayt as he was sitting with his legs crossed. “Just so you...I only play Paracelsus's Table because I have free time. Not that I'm slacking off work” said Welch as she looked a bit worried. “Its okay...I won't tell anyone” said Fayt as he looked up at her with a smile on his face.
“Best find the others as they may be worried” said Welch with a smile as she placed him on her Hand Stick. Fayt sat on the fingers while holding onto its index finger. “Here” said Welch as she got a piece of string and tired it around his waist and the index finger to make sure that he doesn't fall off.
“Ready?” asked Welch as she placed her Handy Stick on her right shoulder. “Yeah...I'm ready” answered Fayt as he looked at her. Welch smiled at him and left the guild in search of Sophia and the others.
As Welch was walking through the streets, Fayt trying his hardest not stand out by trying not to move as much. People walking past Welch tend to look at Fayt and think that he is just some sort of action figure.
“How you holding up?” asked Welch as she whispered to Fayt. “Doing fine” answered Fayt as he slowly looked at her. As Welch was walking, a familiar voice shout out, “Found her!” Welch turned round and saw that it was Peppita as she pointed at her while looking down the streets.
Welch walked towards her and saw Sophia and Nel running towards her. “Found you...” said Sophia as she was worried. She looked up and saw Fayt tired up on Welch's Handy Stick. “Oh I was so worried!” said Sophia as she ripped Fayt off the Handy Stick and hugged him.
“Okay, okay...best get inside as people are watching” said Nel as she tried to stop Sophia hugging Fayt. “Oh right...sorry” said Sophia as she whipped off the tears that was running down her checks. “Its okay” said Fayt as he looked up at her.
With that, the five of them headed towards the INN and wait for Cliff and Andray to return with Maria.
Elsewhere with Cliff and Andray,
The two of them entered the Lost City of Surferio, “Now then...where is our friend?” asked Cliff as the two of them crossed the bridge and saw many non humans living in the city. As the two of them were walking, they spotted their friend playing with his friends.
The two of them headed towards the friend and saw that he spotted them. “Huh? What are you doing here?” asked the boy with a raccoon tail. “We're here to ask you a question Roger” answered Cliff as he knelt down to look at him better.
“What is it?” asked Roger as his two friends Dribe and Melt stood beside him. “Are you guys still doing the Real Man contest?” answered Cliff. “Huh why do ask that?” asked Roger. “Because our ally has been kidnapped and has been seen heading towards here” answered Andray.
“We weren't doing that for a while now” answered Melt. “But...” said Dribe. Everyone looked at him as he carried on saying, “I heard Velilion was doing something with Lucien within the forest” “Is it a Real Man contest?” asked Roger as he looked at him.
“Maybe” answered Dribe. “What forest is that then?” asked Cliff as he looked at him. “It was the Duggus Forest” answered Dribe. “Thanks for the knowledge” said Andray as he turned round and headed out of the city. “Hay who's been kidnapped?” asked Roger as he saw Cliff stood up and headed towards the outskirts of the city. “Its Maria” answered Cliff as he didn't look back.
Back at the Trading Town of Peterny INN,
“What are we to do then?” asked Fayt as he sat on the bed looking up at the four giantess looking down at him. “Don't know really...what should we do to spend the time?” asked Sophia as she looked at the girls.
“Well it might be kinder strange if all of us where to stay in this room all day, so why don't one of us stay here and take turns at looking after him for a hour or so” suggested Nel with her arms crossed.
“Okay then...but who's first?” asked Peppita as she sat down onto the bed which caused Fayt to bounce up and down. Fayt looked up at with an annoyed look on his face. “Sorry” said Peppita as she looked at him.
“Well I need to get back at the workshop but I come over as soon as I have my next break” said Welch as she looked kinder sad about it. “Okay, then should it be by the draw of the shortest straw?” said Sophia whom somehow got three straws in her left hand.
With that; Welch left the INN and headed back towards the Craftsman Guild while the three girls that are left to draw straws.
“So I'm the winner huh?” asked Sophia as she in her hand the shortest straw with a worried tone in her voice. “Looks like it, come on Peppita” answered Nel as she left the INN with Peppita following behind.
“So what do you want to do then?” asked Sophia as she and the shrunken Fayt was all alone. “Hmm, I don't know” answered Fayt as he stood up. “Why not we do this like when we were kids” said Sophia as she picked Fayt up and placed him on her free index finger.
“What are you doing?” asked Fayt as he looked at her with a confused look. “Remember back when we used to play horsey?” asked Sophia as she smiled down at him. “Erm...I remember that I was the horse as you sat on me” answered Fayt.
“Well since your too small to be the horse, and I well...WEEEE!” said Sophia as she suddenly make her index finger move up and down. Fayt hanged on it to stop him from falling off as he noticed that she was getting kinder into it as she started to move around the room.
She was doing for about ten minutes till she got somewhat board, to which Fayt was kinder happy about. Sophia walked towards the bed to placed Fayt down, then she left to get something to drink. As she returned with a cup of water, “Fayt...you want some of this” she asked as she walked towards the bed.
She noticed that she couldn't see him. “Fayt...where are you?” asked Sophia as she placed the cup onto the only table in the room. “I'm here!” shouted Fayt. “Huh...where?” asked Sophia as she walked over the bed and down unknowing that Fayt was underneath her.
“Oh no...” said Sophia as she stood up as noticed that she sat on something. There laying on the bed was an unconscious Fayt. “Erm...Fayt?” asked Sophia as she leaned towards him and poked him a little to see if he's alive. She saw that he was breathing, “Thank god” said Sophia as she sat down next to him.
Meanwhile down the streets of Peterny,
“So what are you to do with Fayt when it's your turn?” asked Peppita as the two of them were shopping. “Don't know really, I get something do to pass the time with him” answered Nel as she bought a bag of red apples.
“Oh!” said Peppita as she saw something. “What is it?” asked Nel as she saw her rushing towards a market stand. “Hi, I like to buy that please” said Peppita as pointed at something. “Okay then, that will be twenty Fol” said the woman that was selling things at the stand. The woman placed the item inside a paper bag and handed it to Peppita as she handed her the money.
“What's that then?” asked Nel as she was getting interested at what it is that she bought. “You just have to wait and see” smiled Peppita as she said that. “Fair enough, come on then” said Nel as the two of the carried on shopping.
Back at the INN,
“Fayt where are you?” asked Sophia as she wonder the room, looking for Fayt. “Hay I'm right here!” shouted Fayt as he jumped up and down trying to her to noticed him. “Where are you?” asked Sophia as she didn't hear him.
Fayt was still trying get her attention but noticed that she was walking towards him. “Oh no” said Fayt as he began to panic with fear of being stepped on. With that Fayt began to run away from Sophia's huge footsteps.
Beginning to feel the gust of wind blowing from underneath every step her steps, Fayt was feeling like he was being shot up into the air. “Ah” said Fayt as he spotted what appeared to be a mouse hole.
With that, he dived right into it not knowing if there was a mouse inside of it. He opened his eyes and saw total darkness as he felt the vibration of the steps that Sophia makes. After the while of waiting, he felt that the vibrations stopped and heard the sound of the springs of one of the beds. Fayt poke his head out and saw that Sophia saw sitting on one of the beds.
With that Fayt rushed his way towards Sophia's right foot and tapped it. “Oh there you are” she said as Sophia leaned forward and picked him. Unknown to the two of them, Fayt was covered in dust. As Sophia held Fayt close enough, she slowly beginning to feel like she was going to sneeze.
Then suddenly, Sophia sneezed as she accidentally blew Fayt off the palm of her hands. “Oh no” shouted Sophia as she dashed off the bed and picked Fayt up. “Ouch...its okay, I'm fine” said Fayt as he rubbed his head as he looked at her.
“That's good” said Sophia as she was smiled down at him. With that the door to the room they were in opened and in came Nel and Peppita. “Its my turn to look after Fayt” said Peppita as she smiled at the two of them as she held onto the paper bag she was carrying.
“We leave you two alone then” said Nel as she looked at Sophia and nodded. Sophia stood up and walked towards the door. She handed Fayt over Peppita and the two of them left Peppita and Fayt alone in the room.
“What's in the bag then?” asked Fayt as he looked up at her. “Well then Fayt, in this bag is for you” answered Peppita as she walked towards the only table in the room. “Oh really” was all Fayt said as Peppita put him down onto the table.
Peppita looked at Fayt with a enjoyable smile and said, “Close your eyes please” “Huh, why?” was all Fayt could say. “Its a surprise” said Peppita, with that Fayt closed his eyes as Peppita took something out of the bag and placed it in front of him.
“Okay, you can open them now” said Peppita as she looked at Fayt as he opened his eyes. Fayt looked in front of him and there standing was a toy box of toy clown inside along with a small red ball. “Erm...what are you planning to do with that then?” asked Fayt as he kinder knew what the answer was going to be.
“Come on, put these clothes on” said Peppita as she took the clown toy out of its box and took the clothes off it. To Fayt surprise, the clothes were the same size as he was. Fayt picks the clothes up and then looked at Peppita whom just have a smile across her face. He took a deep breath as he put the clothes on over the ones he was wearing.
Peppita looked at the shrunken Fayt and saw that he has a long red top, very baggy trousers with blue and white strips and two long clown shoes. Trying not to laugh, Peppita said, “You know, you look very funny...but....you're missing one thing” “Missing one thing? What's that then?” asked Fayt as he looked up at her as Peppita was getting something out from her pockets.
“Here we go” she said as she took out what Fayt could tell as a red lipstick. “Erm...why do you have a lipstick?” asked Fayt as he was walking backwards. “Oh, no reason” answered Peppita as she moved in to grab hold of him. “Hay....wha...what are you doing?” asked Fayt as he looked at Peppita as she has the lipstick out and aimed it right towards his face.
Thinking that she would put the red lipstick over his face, to his surprise he only felt a slight touch that covered his noise. “There we go” said Peppita as she put the lipstick away. She placed Fayt back down, Fayt noticed that when he looked down at his nose and saw that it was cover in red lipstick.
“Now you look like a clown” said Peppita as she took out a very long piece of string. “Erm what are you going to do with that?” asked Fayt as he pointed at the string that Peppita have wrapped around her index fingers. “This” answered Peppita as she moved to Fayt and picked him up by collar with her left middle finger and thumb.
Before Fayt could say anything, Peppita walked over to the bed and placed him on her right hand. Fayt looked up and she smiled down at him, he then looked at the string and he kinder knew what he had to do. “Erm...what if I fall?” asked Fayt as he looked up again. “Don't worry, you will have a soft landing” answered Peppita as she looked the bed.
“Oh, okay then” said Fayt as he slowly made his way over to the string and began to balance on the string as if he was tight robe walker. As he made it to the other side, he looked up at Peppita as she just smiled at him. This made Fayt knew what she want as he took a deep breath as he began to walk across the string again.
As he was about halfway, Fayt looked up and saw Peppita had a cheeky smile on her face. This made Fayt nervous. As Fayt was about to take another step, he felt the tightness of the string was weakening and then he lost his balance. “Whoa” said Fayt as he quickly grabbed hold of the string and then he just hanged there.
“Hang in there” laughed Peppita as she felt it was funny. “Oh ha, ha” said Fayt as Peppita tighten the string. Seeing as how it's impossible for him to climb on top, Fayt closed his eyes and let go of the string and went flying into the bed.
With his eyes still closed, Fayt felt himself landing onto the bed and then bounce up into the air. As he was about to fall back down, Fayt felt himself landed onto something else apart from the bed. Fayt opened his eyes and saw Peppita's face with a smile on her face. “You okay?” asked Peppita as she placed him next to her on the bed.
“Yeah I'm fine...Just need a little break. My head's all spinning” answered Fayt as he fell onto his back. Hearing this caused Peppita to giggle, Peppita looked at the table and saw something Fayt could use after he's all rested up.
Deep within the Duggus Forest,
“The last time I was here was when me, Nel and Fayt went off to get to rescue a woman called Ameena. She looks very much like Sophia” said Cliff as he and Andray were walking through the forest. “And what became of her?” asked Andray. “We saved her but she...she's gone to the other side” answered Cliff as he felt a little uneasy at answering. “I'm sorry...the war gave us so much death” said Andray. “I felt sorry for Fayt as he was the one that was by her side” said Cliff.
“I thought young Fayt was with Sophia?” asked Andray. “Oh they're just childhood friends” said Cliff. He stopped walking as he looked around him. “What is it?” asked Andray as he too stopped and looked at him. “Can you hear that?” asked Cliff as he looked up in the air. Andray looked up and could hear a weak noise.
“What is that?” asked Andray as the two of them walked towards the direction of where they heard the noise. The two of them hid behind a bush as they looked out and could see a small hut behind some trees. They looked out and could see two Menodixs exiting the hut. “There's Lucien and Velilion” said Cliff. “What should we do then?” asked Andray.
“Well then, we best confront those two” said Cliff as he punched his left fist onto his open right hand. “Well, well. So we meet again” spoke a familiar voice. Cliff and Andray looked at where the voice came from and saw a skinny man, thin hair and a crooked nose. The man was wielding a sword whom has it aimed it towards Cliff's neck. “Moonshadow Leader” said Cliff. The man just smirked when he said that.
Meanwhile down the streets of Peterny,
“So what are you going to do with Fayt?” asked Sophia as she and Nel was walking through the streets. “Don't know really...but I'm more worried about how Cliff and Andray are doing” answered Nel as the two of them stopped outside the Craftsman Guild.
Back within the INN
“What are you doing now?” asked Fayt whom was still in his clown outfit. “Ah, you're feel rested now?” asked Peppita as she picked him up by the collar. Peppita stood up and walked towards the table and placed Fayt down. “Huh...what is it?” asked Fayt as he saw Peppita lean over to pick something up that was next to the empty toy box. Peppita showed Fayt what it was by placing it next to him. “Huh? Your not...” said Fayt as he saw that it was the small red ball that came with the toy clown, but to him it wasn't small it was big.
“Yep...come on, get on” she said as she picked Fayt up and slowly lowered him on top of the ball. Once she let him go, Fayt stumbled a bit as he was trying to keep balance as he was making the ball move forward and backward.
Peppita watched Fayt as he was getting the hang of controlling the ball. “Hay this isn't that bad” said Fayt as he looked up at Peppita. “Okay then, lets see if you can do this” said Peppita as she gather a few items that was in the room and placed them on the floor. “What are you doing?” asked Fayt as he jumped off the ball and looked at the items.
Peppita stood up and walked towards the table and picked Fayt up along with the ball and put them both down onto the floor. Fayt looked at the items and to him, it looked like some kind of course. “Eh, what is this about then?” asked Fayt as he looked up at Peppita as she knelt down onto her kneels.
“Why this is see if you can handle the ball by going through this course” answered Peppita as she picked Fayt up by the collar and placed him onto the ball. “What?” was all Fayt could say as he was keeping his balance. “Okay Fayt, I challenge you to go from here to the other end. Oh and you must stay on the ball the whole time” said Peppita as she stood up.
Fayt began to move the ball towards the course, he looked up and saw Peppita walking to the other end, smiling down at him. Fayt looked around and saw that there was very tall walls which are really picture frames. He noticed that first part was pretty easy as it was just a straight line. As he reach the second part, he saw a thin red book sitting on a cylinder shape object. Fayt knew what was to happen if he was to go onto the book.
Fayt stopped rolling and looked at the far end and shouted, “Can I go round this one?” Peppita just looked at her and shook her head as she answered, “No” Taking a deep breath, Fayt got the ball ready to roll over the book. As he reach the halfway point of the book, the book the tilted to the other side which almost caused Fayt to fall off. The sound of Peppita clapping her hands echoed through out the room.
Fayt headed towards the third part, he stopped rolling and saw another another book which gave off and impression of a ramp. Beyond that, he saw that there was a pillow from the bed with Peppita sitting with her legs cross beyond the pillow. Must be the end thought Fayt as he knew what he was meant to do.
Fayt began to roll the ball as fast as he can without losing balance right towards the ramp book. He got onto the book and at the point of no return, Fayt went flying towards the pillow. He lost the ball as it below him which landed on the pillow first.
As Fayt was about to land on the pillow, Peppita with her palms open caught Fayt. Fayt was took a deep breath and said as he looked up, “Did I pass?” Peppita took a moment before answering and said, “Yeah...I say you past, for now anyway”
“For now?” asked Fayt as he was confused. Before Peppita could answer, the door opened and in came Sophia, Nel and even Welch. “Oh is my turn over then?” asked Peppita as she stood up with Fayt in hand. “Yeah, its my turn” said Nel as she looked at her. “Oh okay then” said Peppita as she had the sound of disappointment in her voice. Peppita pass Fayt over to Nel. “Well then, see you two later” said Sophia as she waved at them as she, Peppita and Welch left the room. “So....what are we to do then?” asked Fayt as Nel closed the door and placed him on the bed.
“Don't know, I haven't really thought of anything” answered Nel as she went and picked the items that was on the floor and placed them all back where they belong. “Oh” said Fayt as he looked at her placing everything back. Once Nel placed everything away, she looked at Fayt and then just laughed.
“What? What's so...” said Fayt when he suddenly got what she was laughing at. Fayt looked down at himself and saw that he was still in the clown outfit and lipstick on his nose. “Right...right then, best get you all cleaned up” said Nel as she was trying to stop laughing. Nel went over to the bed and picked Fayt up and headed towards the bathroom.
She placed Fayt into the sink of the bathroom and asked, “Just to be sure, are you still wearing your garments under that clown suit?” Fayt undo the buttons on the top and opened them to show her the top he wears. “Right then, guess its only the lipstick nose to clean off” said Nel as she looked at Fayt taking the clown suit off. Once they were off, he handed them over to Nel whom has her left palm open for them.
Nel then looked at the clown suit and said, “Can't believe you were wearing these little clown shoes” She said this as she held the clown shoes with her other hand. “It wasn't my idea” said Fayt as Nel placed the clown suit aside and picked Fayt up.
With her free hand, she turned the cold tap on and saw the water rushed out. “Best take a deep breath” said Nel as she smiled at Fayt. “Okay” was all Fayt said as he did what she said. Nel placed Fayt's head under the cold water for a few seconds and took him out.
Nel held him close to her face as Fayt shook his wet head. “Hay easy little man” laughed Nel as she felt her face getting a little wet. “Sorry” was all Fayt said as he looked at her. “Right then, hold still” ordered Nel as she used her free hand, with her index and thumb clamp onto his nose.
As she pulled her index finger and thumb away, the lipstick on Fayt's nose was gone but it was now on Nel's hand. “Right then, dry yourself up” said Nel as she placed Fayt onto the floor and handed him a towel.
Nel placed her hands under the running tap and began to wash the lipstick off. Once done, Nel picked the towel that Fayt was using and dried her hands; not knowing that Fayt was hanging on it. Fayt went flying off the towel and on her head. Fayt rolled a little, unknown to him at the moment was that he was getting wrapped up by hair.
“Fayt? Wha...are you doing?” asked Nel as she looked at the mirror that was in the bathroom and saw Fayt getting tangled up by her hair. “Not...my fault” answered Fayt as he was trying to break free from her hair. “Ouch! Ow...stop it please” said Nel as Fayt was hurting her. “Sorry, sorry” said Fayt as he stopped trying to get out.
“Okay...let see then” said Nel as she tries her best to get Fayt out without hurting herself.
Meanwhile back with Cliff and Andray,
“What are you doing here?” asked the Moonshadow Leader as he was forcing Cliff and Andray to the hut. “We're looking for our missing friend” answered Andray. “Ah are you his friend” as he looked at the metal cage that was at a corner. Cliff and Andray looked at the cage and saw that it was Maria whom was asleep. “Guys” said Maria as she woke up as she held onto the metal bars. “Can't you tell that she's a woman?” asked Cliff as he looked at the Moonshadow Leader whom just looked shocked. “Those idiots! I told those two to take the blue hair person” said Moonshadow Leader.
“You mean to say that you were to kidnap Fayt?” asked Cliff as he punched his right fist into his left open palm. “I want revenge for my defeat at the hands of that blue hair boy” answered Moonshadow Leader as he aimed his sword at him. “Well then sorry to burst your bubble but you are not going to get your revenge” said Cliff as the sound of a laser gun fired. Moonshadow Leader looked at the cage and saw Maria just blasted the door open.
As Maria climbed out, Moonshadow Leader back at Cliff and saw that he threw his fists at him. Moonshadow Leader fell onto the floor and dropped his sword. “Ouch” said Moonshadow Leader as he reaching for his sword but stopped when Andray picked it up. “Give it back” said Moonshadow Leader as he climbed himself back onto his feet.
“Give it up, you lost the first time and now you lost the second time” said Maria as she stood next to Cliff with her gun aimed towards him. “If you don't, you will be given another beatings” said Cliff as he, Maria and Andray stood in their battle poses. “Ga...so be it” snapped the Moonshadow Leader as he ran out of the hut.
“Come on then, lets go and meet our friends” said Andray. The three of them walked out of the hut and saw Lucien and Velilion as they were about to run off. “We...we didn't mean anything” said Velilion as he looked at the three of them. “Then why did you two do it?” asked Maria as she looked at him with her hands on her hips.
“I was just board really, crooked nose told us to do something fun and he said to capture a blue hair person” said Lucien as he crossed his arms. “And what would you two get in return?” asked Andray. “He promised us some Fol for the work; we were heading back when we heard crooked nose shouting that we got the wrong person” said Lucien.
“Well then, there was no harm done, go home” said Maria as she smiled at them. The three of them saw Lucien and Velilion running off. With that they headed off towards the Trading Town of Peterny.
It took them an hour to reach the entrance of the Trading Town of Peterny,
The three of them wondered through the streets looking for their friends. They entered the market square where they saw Sophia with Peppita and Welch by a market stand. “Hay look!” said Sophia as she spotted Cliff, Maria and Andray heading towards them.
“Oh thank god you found her” said Peppita as the three of them rushed towards her. Peppita hugged Maria. “Hay...hay, I'm fine, where's the others?” asked Maria as she looked at the three of them. “Come, you must see what happened to Fayt” said Peppita as she grabbed hold of her hand and dragged her.
“Huh...what happened to Fayt” asked Cliff as he was about to follow them but was stopped by Sophia. “Its best that Maria only see” said Sophia as she just smiled. “Okay then...” was all Cliff said as he stay where he was.
Back at the INN,
The door opened and in came Peppita and Maria. The two of them saw that there was no sigh of them anywhere. “Nel?” asked Peppita as Maria closed the door. “Yeah?” echoed Nel's voice from the bathroom. Peppita and Maria looked at each as they slowly walked towards the bathroom.
The looked in and saw Nel sitting the side of the bath tub. “Nel...where's Fayt?” asked Peppita as she entered the room. Nel just pointed at her hair. “What?” was all Maria said as she entered as well. The two of them walked towards Nel and looked at where she was pointed. There they saw Fayt laying on her head still being tangled up by Nel's hair. “What...the?” was all Maria said as she just looked down at Fayt.
“Erm, a little help” said Fayt as he looked up at them. “Okay, okay, lets see here” said Peppita as she moved in and tries her best to remove the hair that got him trapped. After a long time of carefully taking Fayt off, Peppita passed him over to Maria whom just held him in open palms.
“Wha...what happen?” asked Maria as she walked out of the bathroom and headed towards the bed. As she sat down, Fayt began to explain everything that happened; Maria in turn informed him what happened to him.
“So can you change me back to normal?” asked Fayt as he looked at her. “Lets try it out” answered Maria as she stood up and placed him on the bed. Maria held her right hand towards Fayt and casted her Alteration Spell that should change him back. Fayt was then covered in a strange blue aura. Just as Maria finished casting the spell, a bright light flashed, blinding everyone that was in the room.
As everything was going dim and everyone's sight went back, Peppita and Nel exit the bathroom and looked at the bed. Maria rubbed her eyes when she looked at the bed and saw Fayt back to normal size. “Fayt...your back to normal” said Maria as she saw Fayt standing up. Fayt looked down at himself and saw that everything was back to normal.
With that Fayt looked at everyone and smiled at them all. “Come on then, lets meet everyone” said Peppita as she grabbed hold of Fayt's hand and dragged him out of the INN.
Down at the Market Square,
“Sophia!” shouted Fayt as he was heading towards the others. Sophia looked back and saw that he was back to normal. “No more being tiny huh” laughed Welch as Fayt and the others reach them. “So then, was there anything wrong?” asked Cliff as he looked at Fayt and saw that nothing was wrong with him.
“I'm fine Cliff, trust me, I'm fine” answered Fayt as he just smiled at him. “Man I'm getting tired” said Andray as he took a yawn. “Well then, we might as well use the room we booked” said Fayt. With that, they all headed off towards the INN, resting for the night.
As dawn broke through the town, everyone in the INN woke up feeling refreshed. “Well then, if we all are done resting; don't we have a galaxy to save” said Maria as she smiled at everyone as she got out of the INN. Everyone followed her outside; there they saw Welch whom was waiting for them. “I see you all at the entrance” said Fayt as he looked at everyone else. They all nodded as they headed off towards the entrance of the town.
“I...guess I see you guys later then” said Welch as she looked at Fayt as the others were walking off. “I guess so too, don't worry I call you when even I invent something new” said Fayt as he smiled at her as he turned round and followed his friends. With that Welch with a smile on her face headed back to the Craftsman Guild.
At the entrance of the town, Fayt and his friends all head off towards the fields; battling each monsters they encounter, getting stronger and stronger. Getting stronger and stronger; getting ready to face off against the Fourth-Dimensional Being; Luther.
