Deep within the palace of the Blue Star, Hiro sleeps soundly in his room, dreaming of his future with Lucia. His sleep is rudely broken by forceful gusts of wind and strange incantations spoken by a soft yet demanding voice.
Fearing the worst for Lucia, he grabs Ghaleon's sword and makes haste to Lucia's inner sanctum.
Within, Hiro looks forward to find a rather tall figure in a blue cloak standing before Lucia's crystal. The figure turns out to be a youthful young lady with blonde hair, pointed ears, and deep blue eyes. She speaks another incantation as a tall, concentrated twister nearly spears though the crystal.
"Lucia!!!" screams Hiro, as he brandishes his sword at the ready. "What are you doing to her?"
The young lady turns around and faces Hiro with an ominous look in her blue eyes. Her stare nearly cuts straight through him.
"Who... ARE you?" hesitantly asks Hiro, backing up slightly.
The lady crosses her hand over her waist as she sternly speaks; "My name is Visions. Visions D'Alkirk of Southerland. Who are YOU? The Blue Star is supposed to be uninhabited,"
"My name is Hiro, and that crystal is the resting place of my wife Lucia. Why are you attacking her?"
"Your WIFE?!" answers Visions. "I think not. My mission is to return Althena's avatar to her by any means necessary. Don't make me destroy you, stand aside."
"The goddess Althena exists no more, you must be one of Zophar's cronies!" shouts Hiro. "I won't allow you to harm Lucia anymore!"
Hiro jumps into the air and comes down onto Visions with his Poe Sword attack, Visions blocking it with an air shield. Hiro then uses the power of Ghaleon's sword to unleash a lightning storm on Visions, but she stood amidst it unscratched.
"She strong," thinks Hiro. "She's not an opponent that I can take head on. I need Lucia's help."
Lucia fearfully watches from her crystal while Hiro unleashes his Gale Vortex spell, which seemed to actually energize Visions! Hiro uses his Battalion Sword attack, which only served to piss Visions off.
"This is not good," thinks Hiro. "This is not good at all."
"Hah, THIS is the power that defeated that whelp Zophar?" laughed Visions. "You've gotta be shitting me! The power of humanity can't be this weak!"
"The power of the human spirit is one that someone like you will never comprehend," answers Hiro. "You give this message to your master Zophar with love!"
Hiro jumps into his Poe Sword again, crashing down onto Visions with such force that he penetrates her barrier and slices her across the chest.
He then swings again but Visions casually catches Hiro's sword by the blade with her bare hand, and tosses him aside.
"My my, father was right," smirks Visions. "I might actually have to WORK to defeat you. Pity that."
The winds begin to pick up as Visions assumes a fighting stance and yells "Senpu Retzan", tossing a powerful tornado at Hiro which sucks him up three hundred feet and slams him down hard.
Hiro's seemingly lifeless body lies motionless as Visions turns back toward Lucia.
"I've wasted enough time with this!" she shouts. "I've a mission to complete!"
With that, she destroys Lucia's crystal and takes the very air out of her lungs, knocking her unconscious. Visions then picks Lucia up and walks toward Hiro.
"I'll be taking my father's sword as well, you little sneak thief!"
Hiro comes to long enough to watch Visions take his sword from him and disappear into a gale of wind.
"NOOO!!!!" screams Hiro, but it was too late. Visions had already left.
