"How far did your mom tell us to go?" Lunes asked

"A far place." Alexander said

"Really why couldn't be closer." Liam said

"Nope and besides walking is good for you." Echo said

"I have idea." Akihiko said

"What is it?" Lunes asked

"Can you two change into your dragon forms and take us there." Akihiko said

"That might not be a bad idea." Echo said

Tatsou stayed quiet.

"Tatsou what's wrong?" Echo asked as she came up to him

"Oh nothing." Tatsou said

"You need a better excuse Tatsou." Xiuhcoatl said

"I know." Tatsou said

"Tatsou? Are you fine with this idea?" Echo asked

"Yes I'm fine with this." Tatsou said

"Alright let's go then." Lunes said

Tatsou and Echo changed to their dragon forms. They got on and they started flying up.

"Tatsou do you have something on your mind?" Xiuhcoatl asked

"Everything is on my mind." Tatsou said

"Well don't worry about it too much." Xiuhcoatl said

"I try not to but it just keeps coming to mind." Tatsou said

"Then talk about it." Xiuhcoatl said

"No I'm good." Tatsou said

"Aright if you say so." Xiuhcoatl said

"We're almost there." Alexander said

"Alright what do we do now?" Lunes asked

"We land and go from there." Alexander said

"Alright." Echo said as she landed

Tatsou stayed in the air.

"Tatsou what's wrong!?" Echo yelled

"Tatsou hey come on." Akihiko said as he touch his side

"Oh right." Tatsou said as he went down

They changed out of their forms.

"Come on let's go." Alexander said as he started walking

"Right." Echo said as she started walking too

"Hey Tatsou." Lunes said as she came up to him

"Yes." he said as he turned around

"What is it?" she asked

Liam and Akihiko followed behind them.

"What do you mean?" Tatsou asked as he started walking

"Well you been out of it since your sister has disappeared." Lunes said

"Come on you guys!" Akihiko yelled

"Coming!" Lunes yelled as she started speed walking up there

They caught up to them.

"How much further are we before we get there?" Tatsou asked

"About three days." Alexander said

"That far!" Lunes yelled

"Yes." Echo said

Tatsou closes his eyes.

"Well someone is tired." Lunes said as she looked at Tatsou

"I'm not tired!" Tatsou yelled as he opened his eyes

"We'll set up camp for the night." Liam said. "We have a long walk tomorrow."

"Alright." Alexander said

They set up and Tatsou was already out.

"Well it didn't take him that long to go to sleep." Lunes said

"Well these two too." Alexander said as he pointed to Echo and Akihiko

They put them together (Echo, Akihiko and Tatsou) next to each other.

"Well we better go to sleep to." Lunes said

"I'll stay up." Alexander said

"Alright night." Lunes said as she went to sleep

"Wish you luck." Liam said

"Thanks." Alexander said

Five hours later.

"It's so slow!" Alexander yelled

"Quiet down." Tatsou said as he came up to him

"Sorry but it's so boring." Alexander said "Alright go back to sleep."

"I can't go back to sleep." Tatsou said

"Why?" Alexander asked

"A lot of questions." Tatsou said

"So which ones do you want answered?" Alexander asked

"All." Tatsou said. "Like what are we going to do when this is all over?"

"Don't know." Alexander said

"What will happen to me?" Tatsou whispered

"What did you say?" Alexander asked

"Oh nothing." Tatsou said

In the morning.

"Alright let's get a move on!" Echo yelled

"Let's go." Liam said

They walked to where they were told to go and they could see the castle in the distance.

"Is this a castle?" Echo asked

"Yes, father has been here for a while and ruled here to." Alexander said

"He's waiting for us." Tatsou said

"That's good to know." Lunes said as she walked forward

"Yes it is." Akihiko said as he walked forward too

Echo and Liam stepped up too. Alexander came up next to Tatsou and put his hand on his hand.

"Let's go kidoh." Alexander said as he looked at him

"Right." Tatsou said

"Time to go." Echo said

"Let's go." Alexander said

"Yah!" They all yelled

It took them another day of walking. They got straight to the door.

"There's no one here." Liam said

"That's weird there's supposed to be people here." Alexander said

"Your father is definitely here." Tatsou said as he looked up

"That's good to know." Lunes said

Alexander opened the door and went in and they followed behind him.

"How far do we have to go before we get there?" Akihiko asked

"There is people here." Echo said

"What!" Lunes said

"It's the other kids." Alexander said as he went up to a capsule

"We need to get them out of here!" Lunes yelled

"We will when we get back down." Alexander said as he kept walking

"Alright." Liam said as he followed behind

Lunes went to but Echo, Tatsou and Akihiko stayed there for a bit longer then walked off.

"Tatsou how long before you have to go back?" Echo asked

"Don't know." Tatsou replied

"Come on let's get a move on." Alexander said

"Coming!" Echo yelled as she ran to them

Tatsou came up beside Akihiko.

"Hey come on." he said

"Alright." Akihiko said as he started walking

They got to a flight of stairs.

"Not stairs." Echo said

"Yes that's the only way to get up there." Alexander said

"We can fly up there." Tatsou said

"That's not a bad idea." Lunes said

"We let's go." Echo said as she changed to her dragon form

"Let's go!" Lunes yelled

They go on Echo but Tatsou.

"Hey come on." Akihiko said as he came over to him

"Sorry about that." Tatsou said as he got on

"Up we go." Echo said as she started flying up

Started going up.

"Hey how much further do we need to go?" Lunes asked

"About up there." Alexander said as he point up

"Still a bit far up." Liam said

"It fell's strange up here." Akihiko said

"Yes it does." Alexander said

Then Tatsou fell off of Echo.

"Tatsou!" Echo yelled so she looked down

"I got him!" Xiuhcoatl yelled as he took over Tatsou's body

"How is he!" Lunes yelled

"Don't know I can't hear him!" Xiuhcoatl yelled as he started flying up to them

"What do you mean?" Echo said as she stopped

"Land for me will you." Xiuhcoatl said

"Alright." Echo said as she landed on the stairs

"It's the dark that I sense has done this to him." Xiuhcoatl said as he stayed flying near the stairs

"So then what do we do?" Akihiko asked

"We keep going." Liam said

"Hop on me I will take you up there." Xiuhcoatl said as he got lower to the stairs. "Get on Echo needs to take a break."

"Alright." Alexander said as he got on him

"Let's go." Echo said as she got on Akihiko followed behind her

Lunes and Liam got on to. Xiuhcoatl started flying straight up.

"We should be almost there." Alexander said

"Alright get ready everyone." Liam said

"We're here." Alexander said as they got to door

"Alright let us off." Lunes said

Xiuhcoatl stopped and got close the door they all got off of him.

"Are you able to change out of that form?" Echo asked

"I think so." Xiuhcoatl said

He came over and landed beside them.

"I'm sorry but I can't do it." Xiuhcoatl said

"So what are we going to do about this?" Lunes asked

"Don't know but let's get this over with." Alexander said

"I'm sorry but I must go back." Xiuhcoatl said

"What do you mean?" Akihiko asked

"This is as far as we go I'm sorry but this fight you must do without us." Xiuhcoatl said

"What we got so far!" Lunes yelled

"I know but he can't stay here." Xiuhcoatl said as he flew off

"Well let's get this over with." Echo said as she opened the door

They all followed behind.

"Glad you could make it." Seifer said

"Die!" Echo yelled as she ran at him

"So who wants to take me on?" the father said as he came over

"Come here!" Alexander yelled as he came at him

Akihiko came after Seifer while Lunes and Liam stayed with Alexander.

"This is fun fighting you!" Seifer yelled

"Shut up!" Akihiko yelled back

"Let's get him!" Echo yelled

"Alexander!" Lunes yelled

Back with Tatsou and Xiuhcoatl.

"This should be far enough. Tatsou wake up." Xiuhcoatl said as he landed and changed to the human form

"Urg." Tatsou said. "What happened?"

"You passed out b/c of the father's energy." Xiuhcoatl said

"We need to go back!" Tatsou yelled

"You can't." Xiuhcoatl said

"In my dragon form I will be fine." Tatsou said

"Fine but if you fall I will take over." Xiuhcoatl said

"Alright let's go." Tatsou said as he started running then changed to his dragon form and flew off

Them flew up the tower to the top and they got in.

"Echo!" Tatsou yelled

"Tatsou you're ok!" she yelled turned away from Seifer

"Don't look away from me!" Seifer said as he ran at her

"No! I'm not fast enough." Akihiko said

"Echo!" Tatsou said as he flew over to her

There was a big gust of wind from where he came from he got to her and covered her with his wings. Seifer made it over and cut his wings.

"Get away from him!" Akihiko yelled he swung his sword at him

The father looked over at them and Alexander stabbed him and Lunes shot an arrow at him. He looked back at them.

"Why would you do this?" The father asked

"For mom." Alexander said as he pulled his sword out

"My lord." Seifer said as he looked over at them

Tatsou uncovered Echo and changed out of his form.

"You bleeding." Echo said as she looked at him

"I'll be alright." Tatsou said as he looked at his arm. "Help Akihiko."

"Akihiko let's go." Echo said

"Alright." Akihiko said

He came running at Seifer so did Echo.

"Hey will I be fine with this cut on my arm?" Tatsou asked

"I believe so Tatsou." Xiuhcoatl said

"Thanks." Tatsou said

"Guys is there any problems over here?!" Lunes yelled as she came over to Tatsou

"Yes just little!" Echo yelled back

"Alright." Lunes said as she summoned her bow and shot Seifer in the shoulder

"Thanks." Echo said as she attacked and Akihiko stabbed him

"This was a good end." Seifer said as he looked at Akihiko's sword

"Yes now good bye." Akihiko said as he pulled his sword out

"Thanks." Seifer said as he fell to the ground

"Hey how's your arm." Echo said as she came up to Tatsou

"It's fine." Tatsou said

"I will not die without someone going down with me." the father whispered as he used magic

"Tatsou lookout!" Echo yelled as she got behind him

His magic hit her and she started turning to stone.

"Echo no!" Akihiko yelled as his sword disappeared and he ran over there

She changed to her (small) dragon form and laid on the ground.

"Hey no don't go Echo!" Tatsou yelled

"It'll be alright." Echo said

"No please don't go." Akihiko said as sat next to her

"It's alright." Echo said as she laid there

Tatsou walked over to the father and changed to his dragon form and picked him up and dropped him over the side.

"Come here Tatsou." Lunes said

"Coming." Tatsou said as he changed to his human form and came over to her

She wrapped up his arm.

"Echo I don't want you to go." Tatsou whispered

"Come on Echo I want you still here so we can talk more like brother and sister." Alexander said off in the distance

"Night guys." Echo said as she completely turned to stone

"Echo!" Akihiko yelled as he started to cry

Alexander came over and said "It's alright".

"Come on guys we have to get out of here." Liam said

"Not without Echo." Tatsou said as he came over and changed to his dragon form

"Are you sure Tatsou?" Xiuhcoatl asked

"Yes." Tatsou said

"Come on let's go." Lunes said

"Hop on me." Tatsou said as he started walking to the edge

"Alright but are you sure you can hold us and Echo with your injured wing?" Lunes asked

"Just come on!" Tatsou yelled

"Akihiko let's go." Alexander said

"Right." Akihiko said as he got up

"Tatsou you aren't able to carry all of these people with your injured wing." Xiuhcoatl said

"It'll be ok." Tatsou said

He went over the edge started trying to keep up in the air he came back up and grabbed Echo, Akihiko, Lunes, Liam and Alexander got on him.

"Let's go." Akihiko said

Tatsou started flying off then he started flying sideways.

"Hey Tatsou you alright?" Lunes asked

"I'll be fine." Tatsou said

"Let's put her here." Alexander said as he pointed to a patch of flowers

"Alright." Tatsou said as he put her down and the others too

"Guys come on." Liam said

"We need to go Tatsou." Xiuhcoatl said

"Bye you guys have it from here." Tatsou said

"Good luck Tatsou." Alexander said
