I own the third game of the Wild Arms series, am looking forward to AlterCode:F, and no way have rights over this or any other game. Anyway...Oh, I totally support G/V's and hate J/V's, but please don't hate or let that affect my reviews. Which reminds me, R&R, please! Now onto the story !

"Ahh! What a beautiful morning!" said a vibrant young teen. She stretched in the sunlight blissfully enjoying life's simple pleasures, until a familiar somewhat cold voice interrupted her happiness, "What, you call this empty world with nothing but sand beautiful? Hmph, you're a true visionary, Virginia."

She turned around, placed her hands on her hips, and gave the boy a mean glare. He was a strange boy. He had white hair and purple eyes, looked to be about 16, and was quite the social outcast. The girl was 18, had quite a loud mouth, was a brunette, and had green eyes. The boy gave her a stoic look, showing no emotion, but was very satisfied in ruining her moment, until another loud mouth had ruined the morning silence, "Geez, Jet. Why do you always gotta ruin our little moments?" asked a tall man of 24, with a white streak running through his long brown hair.

"Yes, Jet," added a man with green hair with glasses aged 30,"You do seem to have a sort of satisfaction putting us down." "That's all you, Virginia and Gallows do, Clive...nag at me," Jet replied, "I've got my opinions too. I just prefer to say 'em when I really feel like it." Virginia shot another glare at him, but shook off her annoyance. After, she announced a secret she had been keeping since yesterday, after the team of drifters had been resting from a previous mission. "Okay everybody! Yesterday at Claiborne, while you were all drinking-" "I was sleeping." interrupted Jet. "And I was stocking up on items." added Clive.

"Yeah, Gallows was the moron who was wasted yesterday." said Jet, and gallows gave him a dirty look.

"Well, in any case," Virginia continued, "whatever you guys were doing, I happened to find us a really good lead on some treasure in some temple called 'Painted Death'!" Jet looked up.

"Well," he said," Details! How much? Where at? Gold, Silver, or regular Gella?"

"As a matter of fact, the temple with the treasure is just Northeast of here! And it's filled with ancient gold!" Virginia mused.

Jet immediately stood up and shouted," Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go! If someone already knows about it, he could've told some other drifters!"

So they headed for the temple.
It wasn't too long before they found it. Jet looked at the temple with great anticipation. It was kept in great condition, and was covered with elaborate runes. As Jet's excitement took control of him, he smiled, and immediately hid his face in his red and white scarves. Then, with a flabbergasted look upon his face, Clive spoke, "These strange markings and runes are like nothing I've ever seen!"

"Wow. And you've sure seen a lot of old stuff." said Gallows.

"Who cares about all this old crap?" shouted Jet. "Treasure first, old crap later! Now let's go!"

"Hmph. Fine." said Virginia.

Not too far in the temple the drifters had already encountered their first obstacle in obtaining the treasure: a puzzle. A stone stood in the middle of the room, reading, "There's the front…then the back…which way will you move?"

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" asked Jet.

"This is strange…" said Clive.

"Front..."said Jet, "But what in front, and what's the back?" As Jet leaned his hand on the stone to think, 4 treasure chests appeared; one in the front, the back, and on both sides of the stone.

"Okay, well open the chest in the front, Jet." Ordered Gallows.

"No way, my luck is the worst out of all of us. You do it Virginia, you've got Robber's Ego equipped." Jet told Virginia.

"Umm, ok..." she answered. She stepped towards the chest and cautiously opened the chest. I t seemed that it wasn't booby trapped, so she reached in and picked up a key.

"Alright! We've got the key, let's go!" she chanted. But on the way to the end of the room, Virginia was met by a huge door, with not one, but two keyholes. "Ah, man. Looks like we need two keys." she sobbed.

"Looks to be that way, but which chest does the other key reside in?" Inquired Clive.

"Ahhhh! Sitting around here is driving me nuts! There's treasure that's probably just waiting on the other side of those doors and we're stuck here because we don't know what chest the stupid key is in! Screw this, I'm gonna open a chest." Yelled Jet.

"Wait," insisted Clive, "It could be trapped!"

"Who cares! I want that treasure!" Jet retorted. As he opened the chest, Virginia and the rest of them gasped in fear, but Jet stood up from the chest unharmed and carrying the other key in his left hand. He scoffed at the rest of them, snatched the other key from Virginia, and shoved both of the keys into their keyholes. The ancient doors opened slowly, revealing a mountain of gold. Jet ran to mountain and held the gold in his hands in awe. Then out of nowhere, a girl with a sword attacked him, screaming, "Get away from there!" Jet dodged her sword and pulled out his ARM, and shot at her, but she blocked every bullet with her sword and said, "Get away from my oro!"

"Who the hell are you, what are you saying, and why are you attacking me?" Jet asked as he studied the girl. She was a brunette, and she looked to be 15. Her hair was messy, and just a couple of inches above the waist line, with crimson red bangs. She had dark brown eyes, holding an angry stare at Jet. She wore a red hoodie with the sleeves torn off, and a white shirt underneath that, with faded ripped jeans and combat boots. The girl shook her head, and then spoke again," This is my treasure. Who are you and who told you about this place?"

Virginia answered, "We're drifters. I heard about this place from a man in Claiborne. I'm sorry for our trespassing. I'm Virginia, this Jet, Clive and Gallows."

"Hmph," the girl answered, "I guess I can forgive you, as long as you don't tell anyone about here."

"You got it!" said Virginia. "By the way, what's your name and what are you doing here?"
"Well..." she started, "As you probably already know, this is ancient gold. I'm supposed to be here protecting it, since it's from my culture, and there's hardly any of this gold left on Filgaia. But I'm hardly here, since this gold doesn't have the same value as Gella, so I don't worry about people stealing it. Oh, and by the way, the name's Avalon. But you can call me A.V for short. It was nice to meet you I guess, so now I'll be leaving." As she was heading out the door, she was stopped in her tracks by Virginia.

"Wait, don't leave just yet!" she said, "It looks like you travel alone. Would you like to travel along with us?"

"Look," replied Avalon, "We just met. Besides, I like traveling alone. Not only that, but I don't think uhhh...that kid likes me so much."

Jet scoffed. "It's no problem! He's always like that to everyone, besides, we get a lot of missions that pay really well! We have over 500,000 gella right now!" Virginia said as she tried to convince her into traveling with them.

"500,000 gella, ay? Hmmm...if the money's in, I can ignore him and travel with you guys...I'll do it." Avalon answered with a big grin on her face.

"Hurray! Ok. Well right now, we're on our way to Little Rock, So let's go!" Mused Virginia.

"Ummm...hurray...?" said Avalon. Jet scoffed again, knowing bringing her into the group was trouble, and they all continued on to Little Rock.

It's my 1st fic, so tell me what you guys think. I'm open to all criticism, and any suggestions for the next couple of chapters. And there totally will be more chapters, but for a little heads up, there will probably be some G/V later on, and Jet will definitely have some romance, but who knows when, right? ha ha ha ha ha.
Later everybody, R&R por favor!
