The Phoenix Beys

✔Chapter 7

The group were on a boat as they made their way to an island in the distance. 

"That is one cool looking island." Gingka commented.

"Do you think there really is a Legendary Blader on that island?" Kenta asked Yuki and Lillian.

"Yes. If my calculations are correct, that is. The place where this Star Fragment fell is undoubtedly there on that island." Yuki replied.

"You sound pretty sure of yourself." Benkei said.

"Yes, I am." Yuki replied.

"'A light that falls from the heavens will awake the slumbering pulse of flame and shake the Earth'." Lillian said and the others, with the exception of Yuki, all gave her a confused yet intrigued look. "It's a legend that this island has."

"Yes. It's an old legend that seems to hint at the arrival of the Star Fragment." Yuki said.

"A light that falls from the heavens." Gingka repeated.

It wasn't long before the boat finally arrived at the island and they all got off.

"Okay, we're here at last." Gingka said.

"About time too." Benkei said.

"I'll ask just once more." The man who drove the boat said. "Are you sure you want this? The next boat won't come back here until the day after tommorow."

"Uh, yes." Yuki replied.

"There's no guarantee that we'll find the Legendary Blader right away." Gingka said.

"There's no other choice." Madoka finished.

"Remember this. That there mountain could erupt at anytime." The man said as he looked over at the volcano and the others followed his gaze. "Well, it's up to you kids. But it would be better if you turned back now, if you ask me."

They all turned back to the man at this.

"We'll be fine." Gingka said.

"We appreciated you bringing us all the way out here." Scarlett said.

"Yes. Thank you very much for taking us this far." Yuki said.

The man told them of a village beyond the jungle and said if they ever ran into trouble they could go there for help, but warned them that they may not be all that welcoming to newcomers.

The group was confused by this, but before they could ask anything, a massive rumble ran through the island and shook the ground they stood on and the man quickly said his goodbyes before heading off.

"There he goes." Kenta said.

"We got to get going too. Don't just stand there." Kyoya said as he started walking off.

The others ran after them and Lillian was about to do the same before she realised Yuki was hanging back.

"Yuki? Is everything okay?" She asked in concern.

Yuki jolted a little as he broke out of the daze he was in.

"Uh, yes. I'm okay. Don't worry, Lillian." He said as he sent her a reassuring smile and the two ran after the others.

"Come on, is there really a village in a remote place like this?" Gingka asked.

The group had been wandering through the jungle for a while now trying to find said village, but were having no luck so far.

"People could say the same thing about Koma Village, Gingka." Scarlett said.
