Silent Voice


Selphie was surprised when the dark stranger sat calmly beside her, as if he hadn't just almost killed three people. She thought it was odd that people were killing each other when there were enough demons and monsters around to deal with. She had noticed a second nasty mess nearby where the stranger had aimed at some guy's head and missed (sadly, because she didn't like the look of that man) and was disgusted at all the carnage she had witnessed that day. Two sets of injured bodies!

Still, she didn't want to start any fights or make any enemies herself so decided to try to talk to this man.

"Er, 'scuse me but why is everyone attacking each other here for no good reason? And why did you attack those three people back there? I'm Selphie, by the way, from Balamb"

Ronfar - FFO Survivor

It was shortly before dawn on the second day when Ronfar awoke. He was surprised to find himself without a hangover. Clearly his exhaustion had been caused by the amount of magic he had been casting recently, after leaving the priesthood he had fallen out of practice. Attack magic also used up a lot more energy and summoning Ruby the red dragon had really taken it out of him. As he looked over he saw Izlude balanced precariously on a nearby branch, fast asleep.

Ronfar sat for a while and watched the sun come up. It clearly was not the sun though, rather some artificial light source that orbited the island. It lit the ground as well as the sun but Ronfar found that he could look directly at it without blinking. This light also had no effect on the horizon, there would be no purple and orange hues to the sky, no golden reflections off the clouds (indeed there were no clouds). He was glad that Mauri didn’t have to come to a place like this, she always loved the beauty of the morning. At least she did, before ….

But at last that was something he could change. If he could gain the power of these Eternals maybe he could reverse the effects of that potion and return Mauri to the gentle soul she had once been. Ronfar decided it was time to get into this tournament. Glancing over at Izlude he decide that those who had attacked him so senselessly before would be the perfect start. Unaware that the dragoon had already evened that score while Ronfar had slept he jumped down from the tree and went looking for them.

The jungle was dense and humid making it difficult to move swiftly, but Izlude’s attackers seemed to have been in no hurry to press on and it did not take Ronfar long to pick up their trail. He was a little surprised to find them travelling together but found that convenience outweighed the problem of taking on all three of them together.

As he approached one of them suddenly noticed him and alerted the others. Ronfar drew a crest from his belt and cast a powerful ice spell at the group. The spell missed Kazuki who ran in front and materialised around Kuja, completely encasing him in ice. It had also trapped Reno’s right foot in mid-stride, sending him hurtling to the ground. Unfortunately he had clearly not fully recovered from the previous day’s exertion and felt his strength draining rapidly. To conserve his magic Ronfar drew his mace from his belt and faced Kazuki. The young man drew the shotgun he had used on Izlude the previous day and levelled it at Ronfar’s face. He managed to knock Kazuki’s firing arm upward with the mace and ducked under the first blast. Moving in he thrust the mace bodily at his opponent’s stomach, winding him and making him collapse to the ground.

At that instant the block of ice around Kuja exploded and the enraged man emerged with a roar. Luckily Ronfar managed to close the distance between them before the powerful wizard was able to fully regain his bearings. Their eyes met at the instant the mace impacted Kuja’s chest. As a second blow to the chin sent him flying backward Kuja managed to retaliate with a fire attack. The blast was powerful but unfocused and, though painful, left Ronfar with only minor burns.

He turned to attack Reno, but the Turk was nowhere to be seen. A loud crack sounded and Ronfar was spun around by the shot from Reno. Moving with the momentum as he turned toward the Turk he threw the mace as hard as he could. The weapon whistled through the air and narrowly missed its target as Reno dodged to the side. It was distraction enough however, as Ronfar ran forward and punched him squarely in the gut. He doubled over but quickly retaliated with a kick to Ronfar’s side. With a final burst of energy he spun around and elbowed the Reno in the face with all his weight behind it. The Turk was dazed and dropped to the ground.

Feeling that he had accomplished what he had set out to achieve Ronfar headed back to the tree where Izlude still slept.

D.C./Zemeckis FFO Tourney

Hehe...I forgot that Vivi was a sidekick. Thanks for reminding me Baka.

EDIT from my last post...

----------------------
The Couatl flew forward, and struck the one named Marle in the back. Zemeckis shot an arrow at the mysterious one, but it managed to evade the attack. He then aimed at the nervous little fellow that summoned "Holy", and attacked the sorceress. The arrow streamed forward in motion, but inches away from the mage's forehead, a barrier had blocked the attack, and the arrow dropped "aim"lessly to the floor. Now, Zemeckis was preparing for the counter attack...if there was going to be one. And where was the sorceress? She could not be sleeping through all this could she?

"Urgh!!!!" Ultemicia moaned. "I need my beauty sleep!". Zemeckis turned around, and saw that Ultemicia had awakened from her deep slumber. Her eyes met with Marle's, and Marle took off in a dash into the woods. Ultemicia followed. Great. Now Zemeckis is left to deal with short mage here, and Ms. "I like to teleport".

Desperate for backup, Zemeckis summons his demons to do the dirty work. Instantaneously, a Lillith, Lucifer, Coautl, and Tiamat appear behind him. He was ready to kick some major butt. Vivi lay on the field, scared out of his life. He didn't know what to do, and was nervous. The Tiamat roared in his face, and Vivi just held his staff tighter. Mizuki, on the other hand was playing a game of hide and seek with the rest of the gang. Zemeckis' party split into three groups, to find the teleporting rat. Zemeckis would see a flash, fire, but all the arrow would hit was the bark of a tree. He grew angry, and weary of this game, and ordered everyone to step back. By now, Ultemicia was already out of the forest, examining Zemeckis' party. Vivi was no where to be found. "Lillith...Meteor Doom. If we can't find them, we'll just have to blast our way in." Zemeckis commaded. The Lillith stepped forward, and began to focus its energy in a ball of dark light above it. Power surged through, and the bulb just got bigger. At last, it launched it into the air, and it exploded in the night sky, and rained down onto the land. Zemeckis yelled, "Dimension!", and Ultemicia and Zemeckis' party disappeared into a void. They reappeard on top of a hill, and the Meteor disaster was still occurring. The forest had been charred, and the land was now black. But other sections of the land were also black, perhaps by mis-guided meteors.
---------------------------
EDIT: Damn Sidekicks! LOL.
I guess this changes the terrain a bit...black charred meteor craters.

Since noone tells me time is up, ill assume it isnt.


"Gohan...wake up Gohan!! ...WAKE UP!!" Videl wispered.

"Urrrg...Ok Ok im awake Videl..."

Some bodyguard Videl thought, but at least he built us this great camp to sleep in.

As they climbed out of their underground camp, they realized they wernt alone. Someone (or something) was behind them. Gohan quickly scaned the mans energy signature, and reveiled a incredible power, and evil intent. But the man wasnt after them.

Even before they turned around to confront the invader, Gohan mumbled "Hey, your name is ...Sydeny...".

"Huh??" The stranger Sydeny staggered... "How did you know my name??" "And how are you so calm?? I could have killed you in your sleep!"

"Dont bother", Gohan mumbled, "I may be a young adult, but I am incredibly strong, you would be a good match for me. But for some reason, im not going to attack you... something tells me to befriend you... Just like we did Delita..."

"So your friends with Delita huh? Well so am I..."

-------------

Sorry, I sent my votes via PM to Krizak, but waaay before the announcement not too.

When does this tourney round end?

I Like Swords

With the sounds of battle and carnage echoing from all over the island, Arngrim was tempted to just head off into the jungle and find some action for himself. Beowulf was certainly in no condition to go anywhere - he'd just said as much himself - and Zynk didn't seem to be caring one way or another.

In the meantime he was itching for a challenge, a fight, being fully rested from the night's sleep. But, no, he knew that even he would never manage to survive alone against 40-odd other fighters, and at least for the time being their best chance lay in staying together and working together.

That meant doing something about Beowulf's injury first. Arngrim reached into one of his waist-loops and took out one of the Elixirs he'd been given by Valkyrie in case of severe injury, holding it out to the temple knight.

"Here, drink this," he said bluntly. "You're in no state to fight like you are and that's a death sentence on this island. Someone'll exploit that injury and take you down if it isn't healed soon."

Beowulf took the Elixir with his free hand, the other being tightly clamped against his side, and took a long draught of the medicine with a slight grimace. But for the first time Arngrim had seen, it was having no effect - Beowulf's face was still pale and the wound still oozed heavily with blood.

"I... don't think... this is a joke... but it certainly isn't... helping any," the injured warrior managed to get out.

"I guess it wasn't created to be used by a living person," Arngrim muttered under his breath."

Beowulf must have heard the edge of that dark comment, for he stared at the mercenary for a moment with a look of shock. "Hey, what... did you mean by that?"

Damn. Lost control of myself for a moment. "Nothing, just talking to myself. I guess none of us are going anywhere, for the time being. Let's just hope that not many people find us."

Arngrim stood up and took watch on the other side of the clearing where Zynk was still on guard, listening for any sounds that would alert them to an attack. Let them come... I'm ready, I have to be.


---

OOC: Well, Baka said he didn't want his wound healing for plot purposes, but I wanted to make the effort. And I thought, if the Elixirs in Valkyrie Profile were designed for divine warriors, why should they work on a mortal?

Steiner
FFO survivor: Ramsus

Surprise Attack

Ramsus slept well, he was disturbed a couple of times but easily saw of his attackers - 2 Wendigos. No problem, even without his Gear which he had left concealed in a cave, under some vegetation. He hopes no fool tries to pilot it " No one else on this island will have the reactions or mental energy to pilot such a beast", and anyway he still had his other gear to call if the need arised. Ramsus was healthy, he took a blow from the Wanzers pilot, but Wywern took most of the damage.


Ramsus awoke with light streaming through the dense canope above. Ramsus was straight onto his feet as he heard two people talking. He crept towards where the noise was coming from. There were lying together just over a ridge, Ramsus crawled up to the top of the ridge and saw three men. One was injured, Ramsus fancied his chances - he charged

The man was about 20 metres away, Ramsus drew his broad sword as he ran and slashed the injured man on the shoulder.
( 1 vote for Beowulf Kadmus )

Ramsus then ran as fast as he could for as long as he could into the jungle. Then he collasped to his knees, and struggled for air as could no longer breath he had run so hard. His expression dropped - he heard something approaching .......


Summary:
1 vote for Beowulf Kadmus / Baka

Eponymous


The sky above began to cloud over, as Beowulf wrapped a bandage around his side. His companions stood silently on two sides of the clearing, watching the foliage.

This tournament... these people are fighting for their own reasons - for their families... for their loved ones, perhaps. I have no quarrel with any of them.... but then, this is some kind of game, at least to Mian and Volnes. Who can say how many of the 'contestants' have fallen to it? Better not to be taken by surprise...

The leaves on one side of the clearing parted, and the three companions span to face the figure who emerged. A plump figure appeared, muttering something sounding like "Mama Mia..." Beowulf took one look at the figure, raised one hand and shouted "Shock!"

The figure looked at him in surprise, before an explosion sent him flying out of the clearing. Arngrim and Zynk looked at Beowulf, expressionless.

"What? Anyone looking that innocent HAS to be an evil fiend in disguise!" Arngrim let out a guffaw and turned back to the trees - then whirled as Beowulf let out a cry of pain, in time to see a figure disappear into the trees...

One vote for Mario, and a look of confusion at Steiner/Ramsus...

FFO Survivor-Tseng-Rogue

Tseng stopped, lost again, when he heard a cry close by. He whirled around to see a man run past. He crept up behind him.

The man looked about wildly, and Tseng jumped out, backing him against a tree. He put Serpenttooth to his throat.

The man looked at him, startled. Tseng smirked, until he heard something behind him, and realized the man was looking over his shoulder. Ramsus took the chance to shake off his grip, and Tseng's knife slipped, leaving a shallow gash down the man's arm. Tseng cursed and looked around into the jaws of a Red Dragon.

"Oh, bugger off!" he said, drawing his shotgun and gesturing to the trees. The dragon looked at him, amused. Tseng rolled his eyes, and rubbed the yellow materia in serpenttooth's hilt.

"Aqualung!"

Bubbles swirled around the dragon, and it ran off into the bushes, leaving Tseng alone.

OOC: Julia Selphie is from Trabia

Sephiroth paused for a few seconds, thinking about the question. Finally after some thought, he replies...
"They are trying to take the planet from me, they are trying to stop me becoming one wit the planet! They must die! And they will return to the planet, and become part of me!". Sephiroth got up and slashed at the dense air with his Masamune. "I hold the knowledge of the Antients... after travelling through the lifestream!" Sephiroth looks at Selphie."And what of you?"

Maniac Ranma
FFO Survivor : Dias Flac

Grrr...My boss made me come into work early yesterday when I was already scheduled to work 13 hours that day. Same as today, so I've kinda missed a bit, haven't I. But at least this gives me an oppurtunity to make a kick-ass entro!
----------------------------------

Dias felt himself falling asleep. It was a warm feeling inside the light which had enveloped him....so inviting...so nice...so.....so much like the poisons of the blue lions!

"Gotta....fight it!" Dias grunted and backflipped out of the light and drew his sword. With his rune blade in one hand the his newly aqquired sword of light in the other, he rushed the light slashing, but when his blade slid into the light it exploded sending him flying back.

The light took advantage of this oppurtunity to envelope him again, forcing Dias to be benign. Dias strained and fought but couldn't find the strength this time. Everything got darker and darker and darker.

Dias' eyes fluttered open. He was floating in the sky some 40 feet above the canopy of a large expansive jungle. He was no longer covered in light but the light was standing right by him thought it had taken on the shape of a human. It pointed at him and in an un-human, echoing voice it snarled. "We're late because of you. It's already started a long time ago, you moron. Who'd have thought that the great lacrosse arms tournament winner, Dias Flac, wouldn't be worth the trouble?"

Dias snarled and went for his runesword....only it wasn't there!

The light-person laughed. "Oh, I took that away, as punishment for you making us late! You still have the sword of light...I can't do anything about that, but I think you'll find it more of a handicap than anything else....oh, and you'll have one more handicap."

Dias was about to ask what was going on and what this was when he heard an explosion down in the jungle and screams. He looked back at the light person. "What handicap? What is this!?"

The light person laughed in response. "You've all been utterly clueless the last 4 times...it's always so amusing..Bye, bye, Dias. Watch out for that first step, it's a doozy."

And with that he dropped Dias. Dias tried to force his lungs to scream but couldn't get his them to breathe so much as exhale.

The lush green canopy raced up to meet him and he slammed face first the first thick layers of branches.

Pain.

It was easy to scream now that he had the right incentive.

Pain lancing.

His body twisted and jackknived and his left leg slammed into a large twisting tree trunk and Dias heard a sickening crunch.

Pain lancing thru my body.

His body flipped once again and his right arm caught on a branch and he saw it out of the corner of his eye twist backwards at the elbow.

He saw a dark dirty surface and realized it was the ground. Dias wondered if it would hurt nearly as much as the branches and was surprised to find it hurt even more.

Dias blacked out. Probably the smartest thing he'd done all day.
--------------

"Hey....hey! Wake up!" Tseng said to the crumpled swordsman. He could see the guy wasn't human... he was some strange blue haired guy with wacked out pointed ears. Looked almost like one of santas helpers.

Tseng put his hands above the swordsman. 'Why am I wasting m strength on this guy?' Tseng wondered. 'This is going to take a lot of magic to heal, and I need that strength for a sorcerous....' He cast the cure 3 spell, taking pity on this poor sap. It wasn't his fault that he'd been dragged into this tournament. Of course, Tseng had never seen someone who literally had been dragged into the tournament.

After a few minutes though, it became clear that the spell was having no effect at all. This guy wasn't human or his body wasn't accepting his help or something. "Crap" Tseng said, "I don't have time for this." He got up to walk away when he heard a whisper behind him.

"Wait!" Dias whispered. He didn't know who this was or what was going on, all he knew was that his body didn't hurt quite so much as before. "I...need your help." Damn, even when he was on the verge of bleeding to death those were hard words to say.

The stranger smiled "Understatement my friend. But I tried to help you and I couldn't. I gotta get moving. In these things you get killed if you don't keep moving."

Dias gritted his teeth and focuse his healing blade spell upon himself. "Just...keep me safe, ok.?" Damn, what was he saying!?

The man smiled and considered it. "How long will it take you to be healed? I could use your help if you can get back into....the right shape."

Dias ignored the joke and focused on healing. His bone and sinew was already re-molding into the proper form. "Just give me a day...and I'll be able to take out any thing in this jungle."

The man laughed aloud. "Whoa, are those familiar words! Well, I'll give you a day, but then I'm moving on." The man paused. "My name is Tseng, yours?"

"Dias Flac"

Tseng smiled. "Nice name...now, let me tell you about what's going on. I get the feeling you're a little confused." Tseng felt his stomache knot up...why couldn't Aeris have seen this side of him when she was alive?
----------------------
summary: 1 un-vote for Tseng.

How's that for an entrance?

Cuz it might start to sound dull,
And i gotta get on wid my kull,
With me on the island it's chaotic,
So people see me and hide quick,
Cuz they don't want to die,
I'll tell 'em i'm nice and lie,
Then jam my blade in their eye,
Then off i'll fly,
Safe you are for one more day,
Unless i decide to go and play,
But don't you worry,
Cuz if you do that you'll die in a hurry,
In a flash of blood and guts,
You'll end up wid a thousand cuts,
And i will say bye,
Before i send you to the place in the sky,
Rivers are funny when they flow,
Cuz that's where ya body'll go!
