Third part. Yay!
*Isaac's group approaches the entrance to Mt. Aleph, which is being guarded by an old guy weilding a large, pointed stick.*
Old Guy:
"Hey! Are you four trying to sneak into Mt. Aleph?"
Isaac:
"No-"
Garet:
"Hell yeah!" *Is kicked in the shins by Jenna.* "Ow! I mean, no."
Old Guy:
"Oh. Well, have a nice day, then." *Doesn't notice Isaac, Garet, Jenna and Kraden sneaking into Mt. Aleph.*
Jenna:
"Isn't this illegal or something?"
Kraden: "No, I don't want it to be illegal. Therefore it isn't!"
Isaac:
o_0 "I think your logic is flawed..."
Kraden: "Quiet, you. I'm a scholar, I know everything."
Isaac:
*Sighs.* "Of course..."
Kraden:

"Great! let's continue on, then."
*A whole lot of walking, puzzle solving, and random monster battles later...*
Isaac:
"How do monsters even get in here with old people guarding the entrance day and night?"
Kraden: "Shh, we're here!"
Jenn:
"...Here being?"
Kraden: "Sol Sanctum! Oh looky, it's the ocean! Wait, that can't be the ocean... the ocean has waves..."
Garet:
"What's an ocean?"
Isaac:
"It sounds like some kind of fruit..."
Jenna:
"Or an alchoholic beverage."
Kraden:

"You're kidding... None of you have any idea what an ocean is?"
Isaac:
"Well, we've never been outside this landlocked town and this is the first time we've ever heard the word."
Kraden: "...Of course. Now Isaac, Garet, take this bag and go get the elemental stars for me."
Isaac:
"Why don't you get them yourselves, ya lazy bum?"
Kraden: "I would, but I'm too old. Besides, it's funner to watch you two suffer."
Garet::
"Jerk..."
*Isaac and Garet get the Venus star.*
Kraden: *Is sitting on a lawn chair wearing sunglasses and drinking lemonade.* "Hurry it up you two, I'm not getting any younger!"
Isaac/Garet:
*Isaac and Garet get the Mercury star.*
Kraden: "Come on, hustle! I don't have all day!"
Isaac/Garet:
Kraden: "Meep..."
*Isaac and Garet get the Jupiter Star.*
...
Isaac:
"Hey, the old fart isn't yelling at us anymore!"
Garet:
*Spots Saturos and Menardi.* "LIKE OH EM GEEZ ISAAC, IT-"
Isaac:
"I ****ING KNOW!!!" *Whacks Garet with a toaster.*
Garet:
"Owww!"
Isaac:
"What the hell are they doing here, anyway?"
Garet:
"Good question." *Cups hands to mouth.* "HEY!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?"
Saturos:
"Curses, we've been spotted!"
Jenna:
"You do realize they would have had to pass right by us to get to the Mars star..."
Saturos:
Menardi:
*To Garet.* "We're taking your friends hostage!"
Garet:
"WHAT?!?"
Menardi:
"WE'RE TAKING YOUR FRIENDS HOSTAGE!!!"
Garet:
"I CAN'T HEAR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING!!!"
Menardi:
"Oh, for the love of..." *Mumbles angrily under breath while writing "We're taking your friends hostage." on a piece of paper, wrapping it around a rock, and throwing it in Garet's general direction.*
Isaac:
*Is hit in the head with said rock.* "Ow!" *Falls over.*
Garet:
*Picks up rock, unwraps the paper, and tosses the rock over his shoulder.*
Isaac:
*Is hit in the head with said rock.* "Ow again!"
Garet:
"Sorry!" *Squints while trying to read piece of paper.* "I CAN'T READ YOUR HANDWRITING!!!"
Menardi:
*Smacks own forehead.*
Isaac:
*Gets up, holding an ice pack to the bump in his head.* "Give me that!" *Snatches piece of paper and reads it.* "It clearly says, 'We're taking your friends hostage.'
Garet:
"Oh." *Cups hands around mouth again.* "WHY?!?"
Menardi:
*Smacks own forehead again before throwing a walkie-talkie at Garet.*
Garet:
*Catches walkie-talkie.* "What the heck is this?"
Menardi:
*Talks into other walkie talkie.* "There! Now we don't have to shout as much. We're taking your friends hostage to get you to give us the elemental stars which we attempted to steal three years ago but accidentally set off the storm when we failed to solve a puzzle."
Isaac:
"You mean that incredibly simple puzzle we just did that somebody with the intelligence of a cucumber would probably be able to finish without making a single mistake?"
Menardi:
"...Yes. That puzzle."
Saturos:
Menardi:
"Now give us the elemental stars and we wont harm your friends!"
Kraden: =( "I'm too smart to be a hostage!"
Jenna:
"If anything, you would be a bad hostage because nobody likes you enough to care."
Menardi:
"It's true."
Kraden:
Garet:
"Hell, no! The elemental stars are sooo shiny... I like shiny things...
Isaac:
"Um, Garet?"
Garet:
"I like to stroke them!"
Isaac:
"Garet?"
Garet:
"Stroke..."
Isaac:
"GARET!!!"
Garet:
"Ah! What?"
Isaac:
"...I think we ought to give them the stars."
Garet:
"But once we give them the stars, they won't need Jenna anymore anyway... How do we know that they'll honour they're promise?"
Isaac:
"Actually, that's a pretty good point." *Talks into the walkie talkie.* "What guarantee do we have that you'll honour your promise?"
Masked Guy:
*Steps through portal thingy.* "I will be your guarantee!"
Garet:
"Wait, time out. Who's he? Why the heck is he wearing a mask?"
Isaac:
"Maybe he has a skin condition."
Garet:
"Right, or maybe he's so ugly that he has to wear a mask or be shunned everywhere he goes."
Isaac:
"That works too."
Masked Guy:
"I'm not ugly and I don't have a skin condition! I just wear the mask because it makes me look cool!"
Saturos:
"This guy's our guarantee your friends will not harmed."
Isaac:
"And a random masked guy is a guarantee how?"
Saturos:
"...Good point. Hey Masked Guy, remove your mask!"
Masked Guy:
"But it makes me look super cool!"
Menardi:
"You heard him Felix, remove your mask!"
Masked Guy:
"But-"
Menardi:
"NOW!!!"
Masked Guy:
"Okay, sheesh! No need to yell..." *Turns around and begins removing mask.*
Kraden: "Felix... Wasn't that your brother's name, Jenna?"
Jenna:
"Yeah, but he died three years ago. There's no way..."
Masked Guy:
*Turns around, sans mask* "There! Happy?"
Jenna:
*Gasps.* "It can't be!"
Kraden: *Gasps.* "OMG!"
Isaac:
"No. Freaking. Way."
Garet:
"Didn't see that one coming."
Isaac:
"I know, seriously! That was really unexpected!"
