This is the end...? Well of course I have this last chapter but there's a tad bit more...I suppose.

        "This is really it huh..." Vegar muttered. "Yeah, I guess it is. Feels sort of weird to be honest," (y/n) muttered. They stood at the outside of the Caluso tribal village where the El Search Party awaited. Lanox was his next destination and fighting for the good of Elrios was his new purpose alongsidd his new official conrades. (Y/n) was a part of the El Search Party now. "You're not coming back are you. Star will be devestated. You know he looks up to you," Vegar spoke.

        "I didn't say I wouldn't be back but it might be a while. I'm sure Star will be okay without me though," (y/n) sighed. "Then I guess you better get going then. You better not get yourself killed," Vegar said with a mischievous look as always. "And you better not get into any touble while I'm gone...oh wait, that reminds me," (y/n) said. Vegar looked at him in slight confusion just before he got punched.

        "That's for nearly killing me. I didn't forget. Even if you were under control or whatever, being stabbed hurts," (y/n) said as Vegar recovered from the hit. "I probably deserved that..." Vegar muttered. "(Y/n), what the-?! You can't punch your friends like that!" he heard someone from the group call out to him. "I giess I better go. My journey awaits," (y/n) said with a smirk knowing he was about to get an earful from Rena about friendship etiquette.

         She had taken it upon herself to teach him how to get along with people despite him telling her several time that he didn't neeed nor want her help. "A beating awaits you too if you keep up that attitude of yours. Someone's not going to like it," Vegar called. "What's with people and attitudes? I don't even have one," muttered although he knew he'd likely get on someone's nerves on purpose some time later just for the fun of it.

         "What a strange way you have of saying goodbye to a friend," Ain commented. "Strange indeed. It seemed like you two were about to fight," Eve said. "Nah, I was just getting a little payback. He'll forget about it later," (y/n) said. "Remind me not to be near you when you're about to go sonewhere," Chung joked. "Seriously guys, it's not that serious," (y/n) muttered. "Too late. You've done this too yourself," Lu said.

        "Do you even know how many times he's almost killed me?!" (y/n) accused as he pointed back to Vegar's retreating figure. It was no use though. They didn't listen to him amd he ended up being ridiculed for the first ten minutes of their trip until they started breaking off into different conversations. (Y/n) had fallen back and hung around the end of the group not wanting any attention drawn to him again.

        "You seem happier already. Is our energy rubbing off on you?" Ara said as she matched his walking speed. "It's nothing. I'm just in a better mood now that I have an actual goal and new start ahead of me," (y/n) answered. "Is that optimism that I hear?" Ara joked. "What? I'm not always thinking about bad stuff. You should put a little more faith in me," (y/n) said with a slight smile. Ara had been part of the reason that (y/n) had decided to go with the El Seaech Party but Vapor had also played a part.

        She had left him with a letter of apology that also mentioned his mother's potential whereabouts. Since Lanox had also been the next stop for the El Search Party, why wouldn't he have tagged along. Perhaps he would enjoy the constant traveling and he'd definately get to see more parts of Elrios than just sand and desert. "Do you think he'll ever come back for you?" Ara suddenly asked.

        (Y/n) didn't have to ask who she was reffering to since it was clear. "I can't say for sure but he didn't seem like he wanted to kill me after failing the first time. I'll be okay because if he find his way to me, you and the others will have my back, right?" he answered. Ara gave him a look of surprise. "Of course we will," she said with a smile as she latched onto his arm. "Hey, it's too hot for you to be doing that," (y/n) complained although he made no attempt to mive away from her. She let him go regardless.

        "I was just a little surprised that you've already put your trust in us is all," Ara admitted turning her gaze to the sand. "There are only two people in this world that I trust and now I have twelve others to add to that list. If we're going to be a team, then we have to act like one. Sure you guys are all annoying but I'll manage. Besides, we've gotten oast the worst already. How bad can Lanox be?" (y/n) said.

        He was forcing himself to look on the bright side of things because he helated when his mind wandered to bad thoughts. Not only that but he still had a connection with Zhu, one that he didn't understand. If Zhu had been able to communicate with him even as he fled, there was a chance (y/n) would be hearing from him again. "You just did that thing again," Ara observed. "What thing?" (y/n) asked.

        "When you say something and think the exact opposite. I can tell when you do tmit because you don't hide you emotions when you do. It doesn't happen often but when it does, I notice. You've done it at least three times this week while we were waiting for outlr next move," Ara said. "That's not a thing that I do. Besides, you don't know me that well...do you? How long have you been watching me?!" (y/n) spoke.

        "That has nothing to do with this!" Ara quickly replied. It was hilarious to see her flustered and (y/n) couldn't help but laugh. "I'll be okay. I've finally got a reaaon to keep my life," (y/n) said to himself. He wasn't sure if Ara heard him but she didn't say anything. Lanox was their next stop so he'd enjoy whatever time he could with his new team before things started spiraling downward as always.

        And so, assuming everyone knows of the El Search Party's exploits, (y/n) stayed with the group even through their toughest trials. He and Ara eventually visited what was left of their village and spent their days vanquishing evil from the world. Sounds cliché right? Well it is.
