Over the Edge

BY: Isamaru-sama

Thank you all for the reviews,

-especially mia the water alchemist and Khanayda This chapter is the Tales of Abyss chapter and it takes place right after the ending scene when Luke comes back, I hope you people like LukexTear because this chapter is full of it. Well…sorta. After all they are my favorite couple of TOA.

-so thank you and enjoy.

STORY: I do NOT own Golden Sun, Tales of the Abyss or Tales of Legendia. Camelot and Bandai Namco do.

Last time on Over the Edge:

"Now, what!?" Norma yelled

"This sounds like the Legacy's engines but…something's wrong!" Will yelled.

"Great!" Moses yelled back. Unknown to the group at Crystal Forest but a purplish portal had opened up in front of the Legacy, the Legacy was then sucked into the portal and to all those onboard the world was once again enveloped in light.

-When everything comes together-

Luke fon Fabre looked out over the valley that he and his friends had just left. He had just been reunited with them after three years, he had missed them all. However he had missed one of them above all, Tear, the girl, no, the women he loved. He had missed her the whole time he had been in the fon belt and was glad that he was finally back, especially after finally telling her how he felt…

FLASHBACK

"Why..are you here?" Tear asked standing no more than a few feet away from him.

"This place has a nice view of Hod…and…I promised someone." Luke replied. A single tear rolled down Tear's cheek unnoticed as she swiftly closed the distance between herself and Luke. They hugged each other like a lifeline, the others were getting closer, and Luke knew that if he was going to do it he would have to do it now. "Tear…" Tear looked up at Luke with tears in her eyes.

"Yes?" Tear asked her voice shaky. Luke smiled

"I love you too." Luke said finally in response to what Tear had said almost three years ago on Hod. It was like those words were the final straw, Tear practically devoured his lips as she kissed him passionately, Tear's hand going up into Luke's fiery hair Luke's hands going to her lower back and into 

her brunette hair. There were a few whistles and cat calls from the group around them, especially Guy and Anise, Natalia smiled and Jade…well Jade was Jade.

"All right you two lovebirds, time to go, as I said before the valley gets dangerous at night, oh and welcome back Luke." Jade said casually as he walked away. That Jade same as always. Luke thought

"Yeah, Welcome back Luke." Guy said smacking him on the arm. Natalia hugged him, of course after Tear had let go of him and Anise just smiled.

"Good to have you back Luke." Anise said as she skipped beside him as they followed the Colonel out of the valley. Everyone was happy and talking as they journeyed towards home.

END FLASHBACK

Luke was definitely glad to be back. They were going to go to Chesedonia, where the Albiore was, and then to Baticul so Luke could visit his parents…were they really his parents? Yes they were, he was both Ashe and Luke, and even though Ashe was dead he still lived on inside Luke. Luke was pulled out of his thoughts by a concerned Tear.

"Luke, are you alright?" She asked. Luke smiled a small smile.

"Yeah Tear, I'm fine, just…thinking."

"About Ashe?" Tear asked comprehension dawning in her eyes.

"…Yeah, I mean I still think it should have been-"Luke was saying but stopped when he saw anger rising in Tear's eyes.

"-You. Luke, when are you going to accept that your just as important than Ashe, maybe even more so for me." Tear said, the last part coming out as a whisper but Luke still heard it and realized just how stupid he was by thinking he wasn't as good as Ashe. Luke pulled Tear into a hug and kissed her forehead.

"Sorry, Tear you're right I am important, people love me, you love me." Luke said and Tear nodded at the end a blush appearing on her cheeks.

"Hey lovebirds, keep up we're almost to Chesedonia, an old man like myself needs as many bodyguards as he can get." Jade said with his usual humor.

"…" Luke and Tear didn't bother to even respond to Jade as they caught up to the group as they reached Chesedonia.

Once in Chesedonia the group searched for Noelle, however it was like she had disappeared off the face of Auldrant. So the group decided to split up and look for her all over the city. Luke, Tear and Natalia went to the Kimlascan side while Jade, Guy and Anise went to the Malkuth area.

"heh, this is interesting, right when I get back our transportation disappears, funny huh." Luke said scratching his head.

"Perhaps she is outside the city, we should check there after we regroup in the plaza." Natalia said looking around for any sign of their Sheridan pilot. Luke just sighed.

"Jade probably knew that already and just wanted all of us to walk around aimlessly, he'll probably complain about being out in the heat at his age."

"Luke, we all know the Colonel's sense of humor, but still I don't think he would purposely do this." Tear said but there was still some doubt in her voice.

"Ugh, whatever, let's just get this over with, find Noelle and get me home!" Luke exclaimed. Tear smiled. Looks like Luke is back to himself. So the three of them searched throughout the Kimlascan part of the city but couldn't find any sign of Noelle anywhere. "Well, guess she isn't her, maybe we should try and find Jade."

"Yes, let's do that." Natalia said. When the trio arrived at the plaza there was Jade, Guy, Anise and of course Noelle.

"Hey! How did you find her?" Luke asked. Jade smiled and turned to Guy.

"Ah, fascinating question…Guy explain." Jade said.

"Huh? why me? You could have just told them she was outside the city, is that too much for you Jade?" Guy asked.

"But I find it easier to let you do all the talking for me." Jade replied and was about to say something else when Natalia interrupted him.

"Fine, we thought as much, now, let us be off towards Baticul."

"Very well your highness, let's go-"Jade was saying when a large earthquake shook the city.

"Whoa! What's happening?" Luke said but bright light blinded everyone for a few seconds then It vanished.

"What the hell?" Guy said rubbing his eyes and looking around. "What was that?" Then a solider ran up to Jade, he stopped in front of him and caught his breath.

"Colonel Curtiss, there's a strange new island that just appeared out in the ocean!"

(A/N: Sorry, if there is a name for that ocean or any others please tell me, and can you guess what that new island is?)

"It's moving too! Slowly, but still moving!" The solider continued.

"Is it like the Isle of Feres?" Luke asked.

"No, it's much too large and it's not like anything anyone's ever seen before."

"Interesting, let's check it out why don't we, Noelle if you would." Jade said motioning for the group to move.

"Right!" Noelle said as she lead everyone to the Albiore. Once the Albiore was in the air everyone finally saw this new 'island,'

"That thing is huge!" Anise said gapping at it through the window.

"We should check it out, I think I see a town on it, Noelle, put us down over there." Jade said pointing to a spot on the island.

"Got it!" Noelle replied and started to land the airship. They were able to land successfully and the group jumped out and started to look around.

"Strange, where did this thing come from?" Guy asked.

"Strange indeed. Perhaps we should see if there is anyone to answer these questions in that town over there." Jade said pointing to the group of structures a few miles away, the most prominent one was a lighthouse looking structure. The group made their way to the city fighting some strange monsters that they had never seen before. When they finally made it to the town they found it strangely quiet and empty.

"Ooookay, this is just a tiny bit creepy." Anise said looking around.

"Perhaps the people who live here are hiding…or dead." Jade said shrugging at the last part.

"Colonel!" Anise yelled. Natalia turned on the two of them.

"Quiet you two!" Natalia hissed. Anise mattered something about 'he started it' under her breath. The group finally reached a plaza looking formation of structures but still no sign of any people. Then there was a sound of movement and everyone turned around to come face to face with a white haired boy in a strange white outfit and a raven haired swordswomen in a blue and black jumpsuit.

"Who the hell are you?" The white haired boy demanded getting into a combat stance with his fists raised.

"Uh…" was the general response from everyone. That is until Jade opened his mouth.

"I'm Colonel Jade Curtiss of the Malkuth Empire." The boy didn't seem to understand.

"How the hell did you get here?"

"We were hoping that you could explain that to us, how did you get here?" Jade asked.

"What? What do you mean?" The boy asked. Jade just smiled.

"Guy…explain."

End of Chapter 3

Again Thank you for everything…I like Jade and making Guy explain everything it's pretty funny. I also love all those LukexTear moments in the game (especially the ending). But enough of that…REVIEW OR I WILL CALL JADE THE NECROMANCER ON YOU!! The next chapter will be the unveiling of the main villain, I think.
