Desperado

Well, feel free to have Lavos die, or kick the crap out of Vinny, or whatever. I've gotta go, I'll be back later, provided my folks don't find out that I'm on the computer so late...

That's almost disturbing, Crystal. *now somehow thinking of "Ghaleon the Rice Krispie"*
-------
You're a fool to believe in humans Lenneth, and your death is your only reward!

She clenched her teeth and set to charge Vante. "Where is Ghaleon?!" she demanded as her blade met his. She flared her wings and snarled.

"Tsk, such unladylike manners," she said, flicking another spell her way. She flew back and resteadied herself, wiping blood from her mouth. She had an idea.

"Tagami, I need Dainslef a moment!"

It was a chance at least. A "Godslaying" sword was needed about now. She handed Levantine - a fine blade in its own right - off for the sword and found it just as nice in its grip. She narrowed her icy eyes and looked at Vante.

"You've gone too far. You've done too much. We're reversing this now, for everyone. For Lucia, who did not deserve this fate, and for her world, which shal not go to chaos. I WILL see Ghaleon's return!" She charged and managed to give him a cut on his sword arm. She grinned, and took to the air high, feeling her combo at hand.

------
Now someone can interfere - CS or Alex, etc. and I'll then go have her throw it at Lavos or tornado thingy. XDDDDDD Keep that in mind if you want to use her in post for an attack....

Edit: lol Exeter... strange, I'm in the same boat. o_O; *hopes this doesn't go TOO far late.... not that she's too sleepy yet...

Clive couldn't believe what he was seeing. A fight between mortals and gods? He could clearly see that he was hardly needed in this fight; he doubt that even Sturm would have as great a power compared to the other contestant's attacks.

You could never do anything right, Clive.

Yes, yes.

These fiends would have been gone in a moment had Lenneth still possessed the power of creation and he the Dragon Orb - well, no matter; this made things far more interesting and challenging anyways.

"And what are you, insignificant creature; a god in your dimension, perhaps, but nothing here!"

Loki sneered. "Speak for yourself, you pair of overgrown, over-indulgent bed-monsters!"

With that, he shifted between replicas of the two demons, darting amongst them, too rapidly for the Dark Gods. Confused, they lashed out randomly, convinced the other was the opponent. They attacked ruthlessly.

= Should be easier for the mortals to get at them now. =
As they were thus occupied, Loki headed up towards Lenneth's direction to see if he could lend a hand.

===

Ooh. Brain no work.

=P

EDIT: *reading Min's post* Hey, timing not too bad. O_o Loki, go interfere. XD

"GET OUT OF MY HOME!"

Magus screamed at Zophar as he blasted it with his power.

"AWAY VILE BEAST!"

Alfador attacked alongside Magus.

Magus looked around him at the chaos. He wanted to see what was behind it all, who was responsible. He soon got the answer he was looking for.

Vante stood locked in battle with some woman. "Ah, that Lenneth person...Wait, does that mean, Vante...? Damn him!"

"Anything the matter?" Came Alfador as he fired off another shot.

"Nothing you can help with. Just stay here and keep at it, I have something I need to do."

Magus flew across the battlefield towards the battle. He saw the woman brandish a menacing sword, and swing it at Vante. Magus reacted in the only way he could.

A bolt of energy hit the sword, stopping its strike. The eyes of both Lenneth and Vante turned to the incoming wizard.

"I think you've done enough here. Let me handle the Omega..."

EDIT: Gah, slipped in just in time.

Despair of a Goddess

OOC:Time for Zophar's theme. He's winning right now. By quite a lot.

Lucia was right where she was before Hiro had rescued her. She was a part of OmniZophar, larged in his body in glowing red shield. Of course, she still believed in humanity's power, but all in all, this was rather depressing. And Zophar was feeding off it.

"Mwahahahahaha! Guess what, Sweet Lucia? You've just played right into our hands. When you slew that traitor Ghaleon, he couldn't help you in the future. And you know what? Because Ghaleon wasn't there, your precious Hiro DIED. As did Jean, and Ronfar, and Lemina, and Leo. Yes, even the 4 dragons died. All because you killed Ghaleon. And the world has been reshaped according to MY design. You'd love it there. Demons everywhere, humans crying in pain every second. It's just...wonderful. MWAHAHAHHAHAHA!

Lucia cried. She had never felt this bad before. Ever. Her love...no! She wouldn't let this happen. She couldn't, but apparently it had, and there was nothing, nothing, nothing she could do. Even if she broke free of Zophar and slew him with Althena's light, what was the point? Lunar would have surely been destroyed by this monster. She had no reason to live anymore, but she was still immortal, and could not die.

"Yes, sweet Lucia. Feed me with your despair! HAHAHAHAHAHA!"

But wasn't there anything she could do? To help those that still fought outside? No, what was the point. If Hiro was dead, and Lunar was Hell, everyone might as well died. Besides, she'd never get out of here anyway.

Outside, Loki was doing his self appointed job of getting Zophar to blast Lavos, and vice versa. Of course, since Zophar had absorbed Lucia, Lavos was now in serious pain. In fact, its shell was nearly cracked. And Loki was only barely getting out of the way. Lavos's needles were slowing down, as it was no match for Zophar. Vince's attack wasn't doing it any good either. It would probably be the first to go, but Zophar was now strong enough to make up for the loss.

Vante also battled on, even though Zophar clearly outclassed him now. He didn't really want Zophar to be stronger than he was, but feeling Lucia's despair from inside Zophar was truly reward enough. He went on against Lenneth and the humans.

"Mwahahaha! Now that Zophar has gained Lucia's power, it is time to make you all suffer our eternal nightmare of DESPAIR!"

And all 3 dark gods did their best to ensure everyone felt it. Nobody escaped without a wound, and the forces of light started to fade...

OOC:What's going to happen now? Wait and see...

If it takes an eternity...he will make ammends.

The teleporter....it's not working?

Zeal has already been destroyed....

Cold...So cold. Fight, fight, fight, I don't want to kill, I don't want to. Another attack strikes without emotion, but Sydney blocks it. The fighting is endless. But Sydney know he must live, he must live to fullfill something, something important.

As they were setting up the camp, Tatsuya noticed Sydney was not the Sydney he have seen before. He felt something different about it. He felt the man wants to live. He can sense a different energy released by him.

"What are you fighting so hard for?" Tatsuya asked, "for yourself, for others, or something else? Why did you fight so hard for it?"

"......." For a moment, Sydney was stunned by Tatsuya's question, he never could have guessed a temporary ally would ask something so deep. "What are you fighting for?" Sydney return the question to Tatsuya.

"It's a sin."Tatsuya sighed, "it's a sin that I have to pay......and Maya....She lost her life by sacrificing herself."

Sydney's expression changed while he listens to Tatsuya's reasons. "You can change nothing by punishing yourself," said Sydney, "The only way you can change the situation is to be alive and fight for the thing you believed in."

"Heh, you are quite an interesting person," Tatsuya finally laughed, "now, my question......."

"I only fight for myself." Sydney paused waiting to see what reaction will Tatsuya gave him, but Tatsuya gave him nothing. "Because I know I am going to die soon. I will die in the hand of someone I trust. I want to live. Long enough to say 'Damn you' before that person stab me through my heart."

"Hahaha," Tatsuya laughed again, "it's really interesting how you put it."

"Thank you. Even if I have to die, I rather die in the hands of the ones I know," said Sydney as if he got no regret. "Have you heard such thing? 'When a person is close to death, everything he did have a special touch to it. If you are allowed, which one will you be? A flower that will bloom once and fade out? Or a flower that will never bloom?"

"That line...I've heard it somewhere." Never in his life, Tatsuya feel so close to someone other than Maya. "I would like to be a flower that bloom once. I want to make others realize, what I did is for Maya, I don't care what others think, I only care about Maya."

"This world is a container that can breed the world's most beautiful flower, yet, it can also breed the most ugliest monster," said Sydney.

Tatsuya seems to understand what he meant, he got something to ask Sydney, but he just forgot what it is. "I guess it's time for us to go again, I don't want to sit here and become a snow man."

"Then lets go."

-----------
Few hours later.......
-----------

They are still walking on the snow plain, and suddenly, they came across a young lad and a small monster like pikachu. The more they are closer to each other, the more alert the lad is.

"Who..who are you? Tell me your names!" The lad shouted, he can't speak quite well because of the extreme cold.

"We mean no harm," said Tatsuya, "my name is Tatsuya, and the one next to me is Sydney."

"Hi,"said Sydney, "what is your name?"

"Ran..Randi." The lad shivered again, "this is Macky." As he points to the little monster. "KAKAKAKKAKAKAKAKA!"

"Do you want to join us?" Tatsuya asked, he seems to be the only who can speak quite a lot in the extreme temperature.

"Sure!" Randi think without hesitation. "KAKAKAKAKAKAKAKAKA!!!!" Macky seems to be intrest in the 2.

"Welcome to the group." Tatsuya said, "we shall be going before we are too late."

Yes.... it was.
-----
I told you so.

Shut up and leave... me alone...


Pain. How she remembered pain well, and here it was again. She wished that it as loki she was facing. She could deal with that.

She looked up at Zophar.

"You bastard!" she screamed, rising to her feet. "You've destroyed a whole world's dreams! Their existence and reality! their hope! Have you no compassion?! Of COURSE not, because you're such a self-centered egotistical tornado who only cares for himself!! What good will reshaping the world to your plans do?! You are nothing!! You cannot stop the dreams and hopes of humanity, no matter what!"

She pointed Dainslef at him. She could feel lucia's power and presence...

"Lucia!! Hope cannot give up! If we do not fight against Zophar, there is no hope of anyone ever existing. You must believe that you can influence the outcome. You can save those you love." She looked down at everyone, tears in her eyes.

"We all must fight for the hopes and dreams we wish to see!"

Dainslef and herself glowed as the power of creation washed over her. It was the only thing she could draw on to protect herself as she tried to get Lucia to hear and understand.

The blasts from Zophar were slowly chipping away her hopes.

"LUCIA!!!!!! YOU MUST BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!"

----
God... this is what happens when I get tired. yes, Lenneth's a little ticked about Lucia's loss now. After all, goddess defeated by it?

Edit: ... what the hell was I about to say? Oh yes... Lenneth is going to feel this for a long time...

Cloud looks toward the goddess fighting Zophar's form. "Jeez...do these dark gods EVER DIE?!?!" he asked himself as he pulled out the mastermune and ran to aid Lenneth.

"Need any help?" he asked grimly.

FFO Survivor: Ghaleon

The self-made god - complete with SSSC spoilers

Ghaleon and Vante stood in an empty room.

Or rather, it wasn't a room. Just a black void. Not even black, really. The color of nothingness, which those who have not seen it cannot comprehend.

Ghaleon was dressed in the long cape with its ornate shoulderpieces and black bodysuit of the Magic Emperor (OOC: his final costume in SSSC). Garments befitting a human god.

"So, Ghaleon, you finally submit. Prepare for your journey to hell."

And then, as much as a shapeless, formless entity can grin wickedly, he did.

Ghaleon just smiled.

"You think you have won, do you, Vante? Well, you almost did. Because I had forgotten how powerful I am. I am Magic Emperor Ghaleon! The most powerful mage in the land of Lunar! I have the power to make goddesses bow before me! You are nothing."

"You lost to a puny group of humans. Don't make me laugh."

"But you are not human, are you? Humans have a power that you cannot conceive. I have a power that humans cannot conceive. You are no longer my worst nightmare, Vante. I am yours."

"And how do you hope to defeat me, Ghaleon? In the physical world, where humans have some small power, you could not win. Here, in the plane of souls, all the power belongs to me. You have none."

Ghaleon smiled even more broadly. "That is what I am counting on."

And proceeded to stand there, smiling, with his hands outstretched.

Vante began to frown.

"What... what is this? What are you doing to me...?"

"You have all the power in this realm. Thus, by simple osmosis, your power will drain into me until there is balance."

Vante was frowning more now.

"But how...? This has never happened before! How can it now?!"

"Simple, you cretin. This is a realm of pure thought and concept. Thus, the strongest mind in it has the power to shape it, even if that mind has no power of action within the realm. My mind is far superior to yours, and thus I am shaping the realm to my own whims."

Vante was clearly suffering, now, as Ghaleon began to shine brightly.

"You... bastard! But by your own rules, you can't take more than half of my power."

"That is all I will need. Because, you see, I sense that you are being attacked in the real world. So. Take your pick. Shift some of your resources to confront that attack, and leave yourself vulnerable to me, or confront me with all your might and lose in the plane of existence. Or, you can surrender now, knowing you have lost. It is up to you."

"DAMN YOU, GHALEON!"

"It is a bit late for that, I think."

Vante was clearly weakening, as Lenneth pressed her attack and as Ghaleon continued to absorb Vante's dark energy.

Dark... energy. And then Vante realized Ghaleon's one weakness.

"Heh. You can't win, Ghaleon. Even if you destroy me. That power you seize is the power of death, of corruption. Even if I am gone, it will corrupt your soul."

"I am afraid not, Vante. You see, I have one more advantage over you, that if you had any sense, you would have thought of. I have the wishes and the prayers of humans and gods alike. They have a divine power that no dark force has ever diminished or extinguished. And they are more than enough to cleanse this dark power and make it the power of life.

I am onto your tricks, Vante. You draw life from humans and use it against them, as you did with my companion... my friend. Now, I use your very death energy to seal your own fate."

And thus saying, Ghaleon unleashed some of that power against Vante, who fell stricken and vanished, escaping this encounter and throwing what little resources he had left into his battle with Lenneth, though his power had been so sapped as to reduce him to the level of a minor god.

Ghaleon, meanwhile, raised his arms and called out:

"By the wishes of the people, I undo all that has been done to history by my demise. I avenge my friend, Izlude. I transform the darkness into light. Revive!"


And slowly, Ghaleon stood up on the snowy field and watched with satisfaction as the Dragons reappeared, Lucia reemerged from Zophar and the abomination shrunk somewhat. And then turned and silently sent his wishes to Lenneth, who now battled to destroy Vante once and for all.

And as the cold set in, he for once was glad of it, as it made him realize that he was once again alive.


----------

OOC: Damn, that was fun to write!

Over to you, Lenneth. Or whoever's fighting him now. Beat that bastard good!

"Vante."

"Magus."

"Just what the hell do you think you're doing here? This is my home, this is my everything! Don't you dare try to convince me this is for my own good!"

"It...it wasn't like that Magus! There...there's a lot going on that you don't know about. I had to do something to stop the tournament from ending, this was the only way I knew how!"

"Stop the tournament...why?"

"Look, I told you I can't discuss it, not yet. But I will, and you'll understand it all."

"I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive you for this Vante."

"Look, you can still win the battle. If you have to, that is..."

"What do you mean 'if I have to'? I have to save Zeal from complete destruction!"

"Then...I suppose you must. There's only one way to combat the full force of a complete element...any of them. Pure Evil, Pure Good. You cannot simply attack, you must be complete."

"Complete? How will I know when I'm complete?"

"You'll know when the time is right. You'll know, and then you'll be complete." Vante turned to leave.

"And don't despair, I'll be back. I wouldn't leave The Uniter without a guide..."

Magus stopped to ponder the words for a moment, and then flew off to give aid in the continuing battle.
--------------------

EDIT: But...Vante's just misunderstood...

Oh, and if anyone's planning on killing Zophar soon, it'd be appreciated if you could leave Zeal in complete ruin, but still somewhat exsistent.

Loki the rice krispie


OK, I don't remember if Loki recites the incantations like normal mages do, but let's just assume he does. Makes it look like I wrote more than I actually am XD

===

Annoyance.
Panic?

"Hark! It is an omen! As hymns resound, thou shalt be offered as a sacrifice upon the feasts of madness!

Carnage Anthem!"


The flood of poisoned lava swirled about their opponents, damaging somewhat but not completely incapacitating the Dark Gods.

Frustration.
Panic ...

Loki opened his mouth, and what came out surprised almost everyone, including him.

"LUCIA!" he yelled. "Listen to Lenneth! YOU CAN'T STOP LIKE THIS!"
He took a breath.

"Don't listen to those fools! Are they not your opponents? Are they not trying to destroy you?? WHO CARES WHAT THOSE WHO HATE YOU THINK?? YOU ARE ALL THAT MATTERS TO YOURSELF!"

Where was this coming from?
A memory ... from the past?

"What they think, what they say, does not matter! IF YOU WISH TO DO SOMETHING, YOU [i]WILL! YOU CAN!"

Loki's eyes narrowed as he attempted to gather energy for another spell.

===

Well, I figured his Aesir/Vanir experience must've given Loki his "Look out for Number One" outlook. =P
Gack. *getting dragged down to bed*

Hexed & Vexed by 8

She was slammed wholly into the ground by Zophar and she was not happy.

She rose to be greeted by magus heading off from Vante. She rasied her blade to strike, and knew from the look something was wrong. Vante was about to.... leave?

Her eyes widened. There was Ghaleon, not too far away. Everyone looked at her, including Vante.

And there was something in those eyes beyond comprehension, something past everything. She wanted to beat the life out of him then and there for controlling Izlude, and Ghaleon and bringing Zophar and Lavos but...

But...

Now what are you doing, isn't this what you wanted Lenneth?!

But... he... the look-!

Its a ruse, don't be fooled, kill him!

He's a right to life too, you know!


"I- I can't-"

She instead turned her unleashed anger on Zophar, whom she had no qualms with blasting with the full force of her power for what it did to Lucia. Tears stood in her eyes as she faced away from Vante. Someone else would have to kill him. She could not bring herself to kill him. Not with that look that said something more than any words could say.

------
Translate: Cloud or someone else would have to kill Vante - Lenneth can't because she can see he's only misguided.

Take that Magus. XD You want him alive? have him alive.

Edit: ohhhh gods.... x_x Stomach acid... illness.... is this a sign I did the wrong thing? *feeling dazed and confused now*

Ah, many thanks. His continuing existence will make sense when I finally get around to the end of my story. Actually, the end of the story'll probably get underway as a result of this battle. Only a couple more rounds left anyway.
