Shin: aye... lets... ~Joihant Village~ Gin: looks like they're having a real party down there... Sakura: and why are we here... Gin: tch, It takes me a week to get sober... Sakura: *sits over by gin* oh well at least you're around... Gin; Yeah *thinking* Tghen... nothing extrordinary ever really happened back then.... each day was peaceful, and my realationship with Sakura crawled slowly but surley... but there was a problem in that... because if it's perfect for a long time... then usually the saying whent that somthing catastrophic was about to happen... but I didnt know what that meant anymore... the memorires of the girl that haunted me each day where losing steam... even now I couldnt even hear her voice... but it still felt like somthing was not right... Sakura: *leans closter to gin* Gin... *smiles* Gin: *smiles back* *thinking* but.... each time I worried... Sakura would give me a calm smile... and each time she did that... my worries where drowned into nothingness... ~At a shop~ Old Man: so you want to get money ya? Shin: Uh yes, so any quests of any sort? Old Man: *strikes his pointy beard* well zen we want you to go clear out a shrine, and get an old artifact for me... it's as simple as go and get if you know what I mean... I'll pay you handsomly if you can get it for me... Shin: That would be? Old Man: Look for an altar, there, a statue should be laying there, bring it to me... Shin: So what do you think Kay?   |

Old Man: oh right. well it's not to big... in fact it's more like a mini statue... Shin: alright we'll take it!!! ~Joihant Village~ Sakura: Gin-Kun... we might not make it back afterwards... Gin: point is? Sakura: I wash my parents where areound to se us... father would probably have challanged you to a drinking contest too see who was more of a man... *alughs* but then he's probably fall over after five jugs... Gin: Hm... I can go through a barrel and still be fine... Sakura: this meadow here is nice... I always wanted to take you here Gin... Gin: why's that? Sakura: *smiles* you'll see... Gin: wow... *thiinking* there I was awed... the dark field suddenly glowed with the light from the fireflies... and at the same time the cherry blossom trees where in full bloom too... it was a final haven from the carnage that was about to begin... Sakura; I always would go here as a kid, I have many nice memories of this place... and you're the only one I'e told about this... in exception of Jira... Gin: wow do I feel special... Sakura: hmph... your a real negatist you know that? Gin: yeah, I totally destroy wonderful memories that are about to happen... Parties... gatherings..... etc. Sakura: Why not make a memory here Gin? With me? Gin: .... Sakura: I have an odd feeling that we'll be seperated after this fight... please show me you'll never leave me Gin... Gin: *thinking* there... she untied her holding strap at the waist of her Miko... and I knew that she was serious.... but for once, I didnt have some sort of nervus reaction... For right there all I could think of was how much things had changed for Me, Roy, Fiona, and Sakura over that time... Sakura: I'll do anything for you... Gin-Kun... *leans closer to gin* Gin: *thinking* I found it odd however... though she said somthing so bold... at the same time her face was flustered... and also had a look of great uncertainty... her mind racing at how I was going to respond to her... But I didnt know what to do at all... ~the hotel~ Shia: *breaths getting shorter* Gin-Kun.... why?? ~in the enterance of a cave~ Shin: alright then... so this is the place... *Kay walks inside* Shin: uh oh... looks like a maze... erm you good at mazes Kay? |

Shin: T-T waaahhhh!!!! I'm just a helper dagger not a super dagger!!! ~Field~ Sakura: *thinking* Gin seemed to stare for a long time.... and only after a while I realized the look on his eyes expressig his thoughts.... Gin looked like he had heard somthing... and because of that he froze... Gin: Gomen.... sakura... Sakura: are you thinking about somone else GIn? Gin: *nods* you're not mad at me? Sakura: *shakes her head* If I continued to push the matter... then I'd be nothing but a theif... Gin: Sakura.... *thinking* sakura could only cry... but I didnt hear her sob since she buried herself in my shirt... and in truth.... I was very disappointed in myself that I hurt somone agin.... even though she said she understoood... she was now suffering so much because of it.... Sakura: .... Gin: you shouldnt cry... it ruins your face.... Sakura: *sobbing* like it's even worth looking at... Gin: *embraces Sakura* no it really looks nice... the prettiest in all of Joihant.... and more then I will ever deserve.... Sakura: hmph.... you should be a poet somday.... *smiles* Gin: hmph maybe.... *smiles* *thinking* though I knew that I had just made a difficult decision... I'd never know how much more it meant besides this.... ~Hotel~ Shia: surimasen... *breaths normally but appears to have a fever* ~The Cave~ Shin: Hoy! lookie there that wolf has the statue embeded in it's fur!!! If we kill it we can get the statue out.... |

Kay attacks Wolf 1 with Wind Bomb.... Wolf is Destroyed!!! Victory!!! 40 exp earned.... aqquired a Maze Statue!!! ~Joihaunt Village~ Sakura: well then... mind if I teach you one of my Bladesurfing Teniques? It's one passed down in my family... and no one else in this town knows it! GIn: hm? why so suddenly? Sakura: *wipes her eyes* Well then I gotta increase your chances of survival so you can get dumped by that girl and come back to me forever! Gin: *smiles* yeah, of course... Sakura: *thinking* What I said was probably never going to happen.... but stilll, een if he chose another girl... how could I want him to die? For if he did... then there would be no chance of me to be able to regain the upper hand! Gin: you planning on making permenant residence in my shirt? Sakura: Nope... but then again it sounds like an interesting idea... ~Hotel~ Shia: *gets up* I need to go somwhere.... ~Joihant Village~ Man: alright then you all know the plans? Everyone: aye! Gin: *thinking* the day came... and it was completly clear... people from the surrounding villages came and decided to fight with us.... against the fortress in the sky.... *cannons roll up* Cannoneer: alright castle in sight fire!!! *cannons fire a volley at the fortress* Roy: alright let's go!!! Gin: alright... thunderblade let's go!!! *thinking* the plan was simple.... the cannons would fire at the castle.... thus creating a gap... then we the bladeboarders would enter the castle and take it down.... *cannons hit the castle* Sakura: go for it Gin!!! Gin: *looks back and gives a thumbs up sighn* *thinking* I wish I knew what I know now... and that was that it would be the last time I'd see Sakura... Roy: holy- the entire things mechanical! Bladesurfer: darn they must be one of those advanced doohikies... *swarms of bugs attack the group* Roy: ah damn.... *charges up at the castle* Gin: Arial Ace! (think of arial ace as how they surf and cut through other mechs in Eureka 7 at high speed) ~At the cave~ Shin: alright Kay let's get this thing and get outta here! But still that seemed a bit easy dont ya think? |

Shin: wait this statue looks like Gin!!! Mechanical Insect 18 attacks Roy.... Roy is KO!! Roy: damn... beat me again Gin... *falls down* Gin: Roy!!! *thinking* after only five minutes, everyone but me was easily overrun by the mechanical beings... *castle shows a huge cannon pointing at Joihant Village* Gin: no! How do we beat it!? ~flashback~ Sakura: *flies down* see it's pretty hard even for me... but I know you could do it Gin! ~present~ Thunderblade: you gonna use it? Gin: no choice... *flies above the castle* Atk> Bladeboard> Ordr of Jira >Secondary Swell Gin: Sakura Swell effect!!! *thinking* the Second swelll... the attack Sakura taught me in only one night... but even I was amazed I had mastered it so quickly... ~flashback~ Sakura: the Second swelll.... it's a special attack only taught to he priests and Priestesses protecting this town... The attack also condenses the molecules in the air... then in a flash the molecules seperate instantaneously creating a powerful shockwave... for some odd reason though in the end it looks like a sakura blossom.... That's where I got my name from... pretty cool ne? ~present~ Gin attacks the castle with Secondary Swell.... 790 pts damage inflicted!!! Gin: *looking at the sakura shockwave* hm... very cool... Sakura: Gin Get out of the way! The Debris- Gin: *looks over then gets hit in the head with a piece of metal* Sakura: GIN-KUN!!!! Gin: *thinking* all I heard was her calling out my name.... and the last thing I saw was thunderblade and the Surf dagger fall away separately... and then I went blank... I had a feeling I had just witnessed my own demise... ~the Hotel~ Shia: thank you... however you dont need to help me for this... In the darkness.... The flames illuminate... And with that... the black night flees in terror... and all others look in frozen awe... *a blinding flash blinds Ithuqa and Cthaqa and when their vision comes back Shia was gone* ~on some street~ Shia: where is it... It must be somewhere... ~back in the Cave~ Shin: isnt this Gin.... and the Thunderblade!? I'm not getting this but that old man must have answers... ~minutes later in the Market~ Shin: alright there's the old man... you can give him the statue now, and maybe get some info on it's striking resemblance to Gin... uh you should ask... I'm no good at conversing... |

~Outside~ Shia: maybe here? No... *thinking* I hope those two dont turn out to be amazing at finding people... *continues running* ~the Market~ Old Man: well seeing you went to the trouble.... *ahem* about 5 hundered years ago... a young man appeared in a town called Joihant, the town of the legendary blade riders... Shin: blade riders? Old Man: aye... simply put they where able to ride their swords in the air... there where many great ones... but this boy here... Gin, is amongst the most celebrated... he became a master of the art in only about a year... and by then he was the best blade rider in the area... *thoughtfully looks at the statue* Shin: ah.... Old Man: however... *ajusts his glasses* the empire of the time sent a huge sky fortress and threatened the cities below... however Gin here performed the legendary "Sakura Swell" move... the bladeboarding move since then never sucessfully attempted... in the end the fortress was destroyed... and the Villages of the area united and grew forming the city of Gikura... several miles off... However since then bladesurfing has been lost to time... as well as many of the records of the time during the sickness that swept through the area after the fall of the fortress... Shin: what happened to Gin? Old Man: Gin is the patron saint for the city of Gikura hence is where it got it's name... you wanna know why? Shin: uh sure... Old Man: it was thanks to him the city even had a chance to come to be... he's the martyr of the battle with the Fortress... Shin: uh... Kay what's a Martyr??? Old Man: A fallen hero... Shin: no way he could have- *old man pulls out the Thunderblade* Old Man: the Thunderblade... his prized weapon he rode during his last battle... one of the few known swords that was capable of pulling of a Sakura Swell... *polishes the blade* he was hit by a peice of metal when the castle fell apart... lost his balance and... you can easily deduce the rest... *pulls out a dagger* as well as the helper dagger he needed to be able to fly.... Shin: no cant be... Kay he's lying right? Thunderblade: it's really me Shin... Hey Kay... Old Man: by heavens it spoke! Shin: well in my apinion the thunderblade can be most any talking sword... so maybe it's fake? |

Tell me Gin who do you choose? *stained glass windows with Sakura and Shia appear* Gin: what do you mean choose?

Person 2: either girl you choose you will find great difficulies to lie ahead, choose wisely my son... Gin: *clenches his fist* *thinking* there I decided it right there because if I took too long deciding... then I'd take an eternity... Jira: so you choose her....

Old Man: I'm not here to bargain boy, your quest was to get me the stat- *thunderblade disappears and leaves a sparkly trail* Old Man: the Thunderblade! And the helper dagger... No They're gone!!! ~elswhere~ Gin: *wakes up* what is this place.... the Jira shrine? *walks around* Gin: looks like they havent been taking good care of the place... *picks up an old book* MAY 17, 0096 It has been five months since we had defeated the fortress... and there is still no sign of Gin. Most people belive that he has died, however I will not belive them until I see solid proof for that fact. Even worse is that the towns have had a huge sickness outbreak since the fall of the flying fortress. These are indeed troubling times... *gin reads through some passages and comes across somthing most interesting* August 27, 0099 Times have gotten very bad, the towns are almost completly empty. We have ran out of places to bury the bodies. Many of my beloved neibors have died.... I still have nightmares of Roy and Fiona's first child's burial... Dekaro was barly a year old.... Fiona herself has died of the plague and a broken heart... and now the villagers of Joihant are blaming that Jira did so... but even worse is that they belive Gin had- *the rest was blocked out by ink* September 1, 0099 I be Herald... the temple page... only a few days ago we where forcfully attacked by the villagers... I'm so very lucky to have escaped.. and have recorded everything for memory... *the amazing detail of the passage allows gin to recreate the entire scene* ~September 1, 0099 Jira Temple~ Sakura: everyone please! stay calm... no one is to blame for this sickness! Roy: then tell us this you Jira bit**!!! why did she allow death to take my entire family!? Sakura: I'm so sorry Roy... please there are some things in the world we cannot control... Old Man: oh? so then that means you should belive Gin IS dead.. Sakura: No that's completly unrelated... I dont know for certain- *sakura get's hit in the head with a stone* Page: Lady Sakura! Sakura: Johndar! Get out of here now! Take my bow! Hide it somplace and take my journal! Johndar: but- Sakura: GO!!! please...leave me to my fate... you still have a life ahead of you! Whatever happens... please carry on what we've been practicing all these years! Johndar: *stands in front of the crowd* wait please you people Lady Sakura shouldnt be punished for- *sakura protects his body with hers* Sakura: *tearing* please... live for my sake dear... and find Gin... Johndar: I will, Lady Sakura... Sakura: good.. *pushes Johndar off into nearby bushes* *a man grabs Sakura and pushes her to the floor* Roy: this is For my family!! *raises his foot above Sakura's face* Sakura: *clasps her hands* my last wish... is for your hapiness Gin.... Roy: quit it! you should be praying for yourself not a dead man Sakura!!! ~in reality~ Gin: *drops the book* passage contd: Lady Sakura's life was ended in the most grusome way imaginable.... Johndar Kabern, Joihant Village, August, 99... ~In the Town~ Shia: .... *looks at a nearby house* Shia: I saw that place before right? ~the Market~ Shin: what gives? It disappeared!!!
