Chapter 1: The Final Battle

In the world of Weyard, in its darkest hour, the children of the Warriors of Vale are the only ones who can save Weyard from destruction. On the Apollo lens, the leader of the children, Matthew son of Isaac and Jenna, Tyrell son of Garet, Karis daughter of Ivan, Reif son of Mia, Amiti son of Alex, Sveta queen of Morgal, Eoleo son of Briggs, Himi princess of Yamato.

"Chimera, perish!" yelled Matthew, as he swung his Sol Blade at the Chaos Chimera, only to be blocked by the chimera's katana. The Chimera tried to slash at Karis but Matthew knocked her out of the way of the attack to avoid it. Angered, the Chimera unleashed its chaos clash and knocked Karis to the side. Matthew ran to Karis' side while the others continued to engage the Chimera.

"Stay with me Karis, I'm not about to lose you because of some chimera." said Matthew.

"Mathew, don't worry about me. I'll be fine." said Karis as her voice faded into a whisper. Matthew's eyes widened in a panic as he tried to arouse his dear friend awake.

"Karis. Karis. KARIS!" cried Matthew, trying to arouse his fallen friend. However, Karis was unresponsive.

"No, why did she have to die!" cried Matthew. Enraged, a yellow aura appeared around Matthew, as if brimming with his life force. He turned to the Chimera with tears in his eyes and roared, "CHIMERA, you shall PERISH!"

Matthew charged the Chimera and hit it with his Sol Blade's centurion attack. Then, he casted "Grand Gaia" bathing the beast in a golden earthen light. The Chimera fell, but Matthew wasn't finished yet. Looking at the downed creature, Matthew was about to cast another "Grand Gaia" when Tyrell yelled at him.

"Matthew NO!"

However, Matthew didn't care. He casted "Grand Gaia" but the Chimera avoided it.

"So you still have some life left in you, you stupid Chimera." said Matthew. Matthew prepared to engage the beast once again. He lunged forward, sword ready to pierce the beast. However, right as he was about to, the beast disappeared in a flash of light.

"What? Where did it go?" cried Matthew as he looked left and right for the Chimera.

However, right as he did, he quickly stiffened. Something seemed to go off inside his body, and he could tell something was wrong with him.

Just then, a dark aura appeared around Matthew. Matthew rolled his head as if he was trying to crack his neck. He turned to look at everyone and to everyone's surprise, Matthew no longer had his mother's blue eyes, but instead his entire eye was a purplish black. He then spoke with his own voice but it now seemed to be mixed in with a deep and evil voice.

"You all shall perish starting with her." pointing his blade at Karis.

"Not on your life buddy." said Tyrell as he got into a defensive stance to protect Karis. "You'll have to get through us first."

"I planned to do that anyway, so DIE!" yelled the possessed Matthew as he charged his friends.

Matthew and Tyrell clashed swords. Although the two were evenly matched, Matthew clearly had the upper hand. "Tyrell, you disappoint me." said Matthew.

"SHUT UP!" yelled Tyrell as he overpowered Matthew and tried to hit him but failed.

"PYROCLASM!" yelled Tyrell as he held his hand out to make the ground at Matthew's feet open and erupt. As the fire psynergy engulfed Matthew, he screamed in pain.

When the eruption subsided, Matthew laughed, "As you try to defeat me, all you do is hurt your friend. So you're doing nothing!" yelled the possessed Matthew.

"DIE already you stupid spirit!" yelled Tyrell, as they clashed swords once again.

"Fool! You can't kill me without killing your friend for I just inhabit his body!" yelled the possessed Matthew. "And none of you are strong enough to expel me from his body".

Tyrell and Matthew exchanged blows again and again.

"What do I have to do get him back you stupid spirit?!" yelled Tyrell.

"I will release him if you give me your body, Tyrell." said Matthew. Tyrell cringed as he heard this.

'What can I do though? I can't kill him or else I'll kill Matthew, so I guess I have no other choice.' thought Tyrell. "Ok I'll do it." He finally said, realizing that was no other way.

"Good decision Tyrell. You have saved your friend." said the possessed Matthew.

The black aura disappeared from Matthew and appeared around Tyrell. Tyrell tensed as the dark energy took hold of him, just as it did with Matthew.

"He's not as strong as Mathew elemental wise, but is stronger physically." said the possessed Tyrell. "Now where was I? Oh yes, I remember that I was about to kill her."

As Tyrell swung his sword to hit Karis, Eoleo and Amiti's light blades blocked Tyrell's sword.

"Not so fast Tyrell. You aren't getting away with that. Our strongest member can still stop you." said Amiti.

"Nope, you still can't beat me." said Tyrell. To the other's surprise, the dark aura that left Mathew returned.

"Did you really think I'd let such a powerful being not be under my control? I think not." said the possessed Matthew. Tyrell jumped back next to Matthew.

Karis, who was going in and out of consciousness, quietly cried, "Matthew, please don't."

"Ready?" asked Matthew.

"Ready." replied Tyrell.

"Grand Gaia" yelled Matthew and Tyrell also attacked with "Pyroclasm", as they sent the two attacks at Amiti, Eoleo, Himi, and Sveta.

Matthew walked up next to Karis and said aloud, "Matthew, I will make you watch as you kill the girl you love."

As Karis braced herself for a killing blow, Matthew's body suddenly stopped, tensing up as if something was wrong.

"Huh?" wondered Amiti. Suddenly, they all heard a booming voice.

"NO YOU WON'T, YOU EVIL SPIRIT!" yelled Matthew, but this was without the evil voice mixed in!

"No I can't control his body anymore!" cried the evil voice. The dark energy seemed to dissipate around Matthew, as his body seemed to thrash a bit. The energy seemed to die down, and Matthew hung his head high again.

"That's right and now to get rid of your friend." yelled Matthew. "Expel!" he yelled.

The black aura around Tyrell disappeared as well and formed above his head. "Now die evil SPIRIT!" yelled Mathew as the dark spirit exploded.

"No!" cried the evil spirit. "You will pay for that with your life. This I swear."

Mathew put his hand to his chest and once again yelled "EXPEL! You're not staying in me either!"

"If I'm leaving, then your soul is coming with me!" yelled the evil spirit.

"Get out of my body!" yelled Mathew. After much more struggling, the evil spirit left Matthew's body, forming above his head just like with Tyrell.

Matthew yelled "NOW DIE!" as the spirit exploded into the air.

Karis sat up as the spirit exploded. As it did, Matthew lost all the color in his eyes and fell forward into Karis' lap. Karis leaned forward to catch the exhausted adept.

"Matthew! Matthew, wake up!" she cried. Matthew didn't reply, so Karis yelled "Healing Gust." It healed everyone, but Matthew was still unresponsive.

After getting healed, Sveta stood up and ran over to Matthew and Karis. She leaned down and put a hand on Matthew's chest. Her eyes went wide for a second before closing sadly.

"Karis, it's no use. He's…..gone." said Sveta after a pause. Karis gasped, her eyes widening and tears beginning to leak out.

"No….it can't be." Whispered Karis, as her tears began falling down, landing on Matthew's lifeless body.

"Form a circle around Mathew and hold hands." She said. Everyone did as they were told and formed a circle around Matthew. As Sveta worked her magic, the group suddenly saw Matthew standing there.

"Matthew!" said Tyrell as he ran to Matthew, but when he did, he passed right through the image, as if it wasn't even there.

"That is Matthew's soul, Tyrell. He's….not really there." said Sveta, a hint of sorrow in her voice.

"Wait, but can't mean…." Karis trailed off, the realization that Matthew wasn't alive hitting her. Her hands went to her mouth as this happened.

Matthew looked down his ghostly form. "Sorry guys. Guess I just couldn't stay alive. I'm going to go activate the Apollo Lens. Make sure you guys stay clear of the blast."

Tyrell nodded at his friend. Matthew was always one to be serious, even in a time like this. He began moving everyone away to a safer spot, although Karis took longer to convince.

"Come on Karis. We need to go." pleaded Tyrell.

"But Matthew…" Karis tried to protest. Matthew turned around to face her.

"Sorry Karis, but I need to do what I need to do. You know that. Promise me you'll take care of yourself." he gave her one last smile, one she always used to see from him before he levitated into the air.

"Matthew!" Karis cried out as Tyrell lead her away from the Lens. Matthew arrived on the top and raised his right hand, activating the lens. The machine built up energy, and in one shot, it burst through the Grave Eclipse, slicing through it on its way to Eclipse Tower. As this happened, Matthew got hit with the full blast of the light.

For a time, Matthew couldn't fell anything. It was like he was floating on air. It was an odd sensation.

"Guess it's the end for me." Matthew said, beginning to close his eyes. However, as he did, he could somehow feel 3 figures floating around him. He looked at them and saw who they were: the Three Fates.

"Your time isn't over yet hero. You still have a grand destiny to fulfill." spoke one of the fates.

"Grand destiny? Like what?" asked Matthew.

"You will know in time. Now, return to the mortal world at once." spoke another fate. At their word, Matthew was engulfed by light once again.

A/N this chapter was longer than I originally thought so I put a lot of work into this chapter and again I don't own Golden Sun but I wish I did
