Becky flew near Ventis. "Hold on, sweetie." She said to him, as she materialized herself and Ventis out of the ship. Ventis landed in solid ground with a thud. He slowly got up, and saw Becky was with him. "Are you okay, little one?" Becky spoke, concern in her voice. "Yes.. I'm fine, thank you.. But.." Ventis looked around. The arc storm was still very prevalent throughout the dark skies, and he looked around at his surroundings. It looked to be an old research facility. "What is this place?" "This is an old Golden age research facility.. Stormcallers come here to conduct the ritual, since there always seems to be a great concentration of Arc energy and light here." Becky explained. Before Ventis could answer, he saw the Ship, burning ablaze, come flying in from the sky and crashing, causing an explosion. "Oh no! Professor BraveCole!" Ventis said, running up to the wreckage. Becky flew after him. "Be careful, sweetheart!" Ventis jumped on top of the burning wreckage, looking high and low to try and find the remains of BraveCole. "Professor!? Are you okay!? Are you alive!?" Ventis shouted. "Y-Yeah.. urgh.. I'm down here.. ugh.." Ventis turned around and saw BraveCole, hunched up against a wall, impaled with a large metal pole. "P-Professor! You're hurt!" Ventis ran down to the Professor and got close, trying to help. BraveCole coughed. "L-Listen.. k-kid.. urgh.. I.. don't know how much.. l-longer I have.. but.. You must continue on.. w-without me.. I'm bleeding out.. it.. may be too late for me.." "But.. Professor.." "I know.. Just.. remember everything.. I.. t-taught you.. I.. believe in you, Ventis.. I.. believe.. urgh.." BraveCole went silent, his head slumping down and his eyes closing. His presence became cold. "No.. No.. Not like this..." Ventis said, tearing up. All of a sudden, BraveCole jumped back to life. "Naaah, I'm just -blam!-ing around. Becky, stand by for revive." "Standing by, darling." "W-What!? I thought.. sigh. I forgot. We're guardians." Ventis said, feeling a bit dumb. "Yeah. This happens on the regular. This pipe is piercing every one of my vital organs, I'm surprised I wasn't dead on impact. Hey, it gave me the opportunity to mess with you though. 'Oh, Professor! Who's gonna teach me how to floof, now?' Hahaha! Shoulda seen your face." BraveCole mocked. "Very funny, Professor." Ventis rolled his eyes. "Hm. Not dead ye- ohhh, there we go." BraveCole said, as he went silent. Becky then resurrected BraveCole, good as new. "Ahhh! Thanks, Becky. Now.. Ventis." BraveCole gestured to the facilty, as they saw bolts of Arc erupt around it and fill the dark skies of Mars. [b][i]"Let's get to work."[/i][/b]
