Eeee... gah, more people having to drop out? Eee... I guess I can do my character a favour without too much guilt now: 1 vote to Dias... and a belated, tearful goodbye to Izlude. And goodbye to Dias/MR too, but in a non-vengeful way

And Luna...I can understand where you're coming from. My brain is fried and writer's block has stopped me from doing anything... but I'll keep trying, in horribly badly written ways...

---------

Mizuki stood at the doorway of Zeal Palace... something inside was living... but also, there were strange energies starting to emerge from the Palace. She walked, without a care, into the great hall of the Palace, looking about in curiosity...

Books and golden shelves, flowers and stairways... and the emitting of powerful magic from all of these things... the whole floating island felt alive, powerful. The only things missing from the whole picture were the people...

She flew from shelf to shelf, investigating the marvellous structure and the secrets it hid within...

Oh! ;_; That's really too bad, Maniac Ranma-san; it was great having you here! @_@ *huggles* Your writing is wonderful ... *reads the death scene beginning* O_O

LOL, Terra-san, you seem to have covered most of it XD

===

The power of creation?
Lenneth had it, not too long ago, before they had all arrived in this strange tournament.
Oh, he knew that well, considering that was how she would have killed him, had it not been for the Dragon Orb.

Loki took all of Lucia's words in with great interest.

= I see. And what must we do to combat them? =

Ahhhh! Not Dias, too! Now poor Rena will be a widow....so soon after getting married, too. ;_;

*sniffles* At least we'll have happy memories of the wedding, though....farewell, Maniac Ranma. It was fun while it lasted....

FFO Survivor : Dias Flac

"What you have to decide," said Psuedo-Claude, "Is what you're going to do with the rest of your life."

"What do you mean?" Dias saw himself ruthlessly beating Claude down in the Lacrosse Tournament 3 years ago. Watched Rena's face as she was torn between the two men she loved.

"You've always wanted fame. That's one of the reasons you've always competed in arms tournaments. And I'll be honest. If you kill Cloud Strife, you will be remembered forever. Cloud is one of the most famous swordsmen in the world."

"How can I kill Cloud Strife?" Dias demanded.

"Very easily." Psuedo Claude remarked. "Cloud is stronger than you, faster than you, and right now in remarkably better health than you. But you have one thing that he can't match."

"The sword of light?" Dias asked. He saw himself continue to beat Claude after it was obvious the fight had ended. Rena turned her back and walked out of the coloseum.

"Bingo." Psuedo Claude said.

"The sword of light can kill him if you unlock it's final power. The Destiny Bond technique. All you'll have to do is touch him with the destiny bond and you'll both die...but he will first and you will live on as a legend. He as a failure. You can have no greater fame than that."

"There...there's no way I can live?" Dias asked, his situation starting to break thru his apathy.

"You lost this one from the begining. Even if you had the destiny bond at first, you still would have died. There's a reason it's called the 'destiny bond'. The two of you are bound in your shared destiny. Death."

Dias gulped.

"We don't have long. You'll regain conciousness within a minute and you have another option."

"Which is?"

"Forfeit and go to Rena...there's nothing she can do for you at this point but if you don't you'll regret it for eternity. As an expellian you'll go somewhere else after death than where she, a Nedian, will go."

Dias couldn't believe it, the protective shroud of uncaring he had had was completly gone and he was left with a choice:

Kill Cloud Stryfe and attain glory everlasting or....

...Forfeit and go to his wife and die unknown.

----------

BTW: I have NO idea which he's going to choose. I'm open to opinions. I'm trying to please the crowd here.

What I've learned in Survivor Today:

1)The battle with the Time Devourer from Chrono Cross is alot more interesting when it's being fought in survivor

2)SO2's Dias Flac makes a good replacement for The Slayers Gourry Gabriev.

Forget glory, have him go to Rena! ;_; He should at least be able to say goodbye to her, after all they've gone through to be together....and how will she be able to live with herself if the last thing she said to him was that she hated him?

!!!!! Isn't the choice obvious...

RENA! Fame is nothing... sure, it makes you 'immortal,' and you won't be 'forgotten...' But if Rena will always remember Dias... then it's way more worth it! And how can he live with himself if he doesn't say anything more to her?

(gets caught up in all this...)
BTW... great stuff ^^

“Ronfar, I’m telling you that stuff is dangerous. Look, it’s almost melted through the glass while you’ve been holding it.” Just the smell of whatever it was that the cleric had concocted was starting to make Ghaleon feel light-headed.

Ronfar just smiled. With a shout of, “This one’s for you, Izzy!” he downed it in one gulp. For a moment there was no reaction, then every muscle in his body suddenly became as tense as harp-strings and his eyes glazed over. Standing as stiff as a board he fell backwards, breaking a table in half as he went.

Ghaleon had to pour several buckets of water onto the cleric’s head before he started to come around. “A little dry” he croaked, “it needs another dash of Meths to give it a bit of a kick.”

They were so preoccupied that neither of them noticed that the rest of the bubbling liquid in the main container had started sliding slowly up the side. Within the primordial soup that Ronfar had concocted the basic elements of life had come together and united. Powered by the unique conditions of the laboratory the newly born single cell life-form had quickly multiplied and evolved into the surprisingly hardy form of Slimus Generica. The slime slid out of the glass womb that had given it birth and as it left the laboratory for the more normal conditions outside its cellular structure ceased to evolve. It continued to multiply however and soon reached the point of splitting into two separate slimes.

One slime continued to explore Zeal, while the other ventured outside. Driven by instinct it was drawn toward the energy at the heart of the Memory Pools. The journey was long and hard, but the slime was relentless and finally reached it’s goal; the edge of the island. It flung itself into the Void and was immersed in the energies of the universe. The simple yet efficient biology of the slime was the perfect medium for these energies and it multiplied rapidly. The slimes tumbled and fell, floated and rose and one by one were drawn through the portals of the Memory Pools to a thousand worlds at a thousand times. Though no one would ever know it; this was the first of the genus Slimus Generica a species that mysteriously came to exist on many distant worlds.

___

OOC: And that, boys and girls, is why there are generic slime monsters in practically every RPG. It’s Ronfar’s fault!

And Ranma, it's been a pleasure to read your work. Rest well in the knowledge that by the end of the week we collectively will have written a story the length of a book. Therefore, per your request,

1 attack vote to Dias

....and I say he should go to Rena. They had little enough time together as it is.

FFO Survivor : Dias Flac

"AUUUGGHHHH!" Dias screamed in the flames. Finally they disappeared and Cloud Re-appeared, the summon finished.

"hmmmm...you're still standing...I'm impressed." Cloud admitted.

Dias moaned. He couldn't feel anything and Psuedo-Claudes voice went thru his head. "You're already dead. Nothing can change that."

Rena or Cloud?

Rena...

No, Cloud....

Cloud, definitely. Rena hates me.


But it's my last chance to see her...I gotta go to her.


Cloud smiled. "I don't usually offer this, but I'll allow you to forfeit. Just say the word."

Dias forced his burnt face to work. "Screw....you...."


Cloud glared. "Fine, then it's time to die!" He raced at Dias who found the strength to fight anew.

"Cross-Slash!" Cloud yelled and slashed wildly at Dias who doged each blow with an ease that he knew he didn't have. Was this what happened to everyone as their body ran out of life? Were they suddenly allowed to go past the limits that were set for them? Or was this someone trying to keep him alive, trying to get him to make the other choice?

"You piece of shit!" Cloud yelled. "Fine, I'll take it up a notch! Omnislash!" Dias realized that he was out of time...he had made his decision. He was going to kill Cloud... he saw the opening in the midst of the blade that battered him repeatedly. It would be easy because he couldn't even feel the 14 sword blows that had hit him. He was invincible.

Kill Cloud Strife and take his glory.

"Climhazzard!" Dias copied the move that Cloud had used on him and lunged thru the whirling blades and jammed his sword thru Clouds left lung. He then pushed Cloud to the ground and raised his sword to deliver the final blow....all he had to do was touch Cloud and they'd share his death....all he had to do....all.....why....can't... I...do this...? Rena....I'm sorry....I....always make the wrong choice....I......

Dias dropped his sword and left Cloud lying in the bloody snow healing himself. Dias stumbled thru the snow in the direction he thought Rena might be in....

His legs gave out....just as he saw her..

She was crying....sitting in the snow and crying....the last thing he would see was her crying....he'd have to deal with that for eternity....noo....."Rena..." he called out weakly.

She turned and saw him.

"Dias! NOOOOO!" she shouted and ran to him, holding him. She didn't bother with a spell. Even she knew this was too far gone.

"I....don't want glory...I was stupid....I....I.....tell.. tell Claude that if... he doesn't take care of you...I'lll.... I love you Rena...I'm so stupid..."
----------------

And with that, Dias, the warrior of light died.... having finally made the right choice for the first time in his life.


I hope you enjoyed my Dias character. I know I pretty much ruined the 3rd round and I apologize for that to you all, and especially to Krizak. I still have a few surprise posts for you all but I'll keep them till the next round...

PLEASE vote against me. I don't want to find out that I would have gone on and corpses don't make very good survivors.

This tourney has been great and I can't wait till the next one.

Happy ending? I'd say yes. This was how someone like Dias has to end up. They're the kind of person who lives on luck and will continue to do that till the luck runs out. Then they learn, but always too late. As long as they learn though, their lives aren't spent in vain.

BTW: Guess I should vote against Cloud, neh?

1 vote against Cloud.

Sayonnara, all.

I leave the rest to you Terra.

Edit: Awwww.....*sniffs* That is so sad....but at least Dias made the right choice. Poor Dias and Rena....such short-lived happiness. ;_;

Maniac Ranma, it's been great having you here. I've enjoyed your writing, and you've done some great things with Dias. But don't you DARE say you ruined the third round! That was my favorite round! It was NOT ruined, IMO.

Marle contemplated over the Mammon Machine, "I feel like I'm being pushed by someone else to do this... but if the Mammon Machine can be brought back... Maybe the true power of the pendant could too..."

She stood up and streached when she heard movement from outside the room. She peeked over to see a strange my with Vivi in his arms. "Vivi!" Marle ran to the door, but when she was about to step out something pulled her back, "huh?! What?" She looked behind her... nothing... Marle cried out the man, "Hey!! Bring him here!!"

Izlude then Dias... It's so sad... But so well written...

FFO Survivor: Ghaleon

OOC: *Sniff* Poor Dias! And I don't even know him... (yet - I'll be getting SO2 as soon as I can after Survivor ends). At least he made the right choice.

Daig, forgive me if I don't laugh too much. That was hilarious, but... I'll laugh at it later, m'kay?

As for the rest of Ghaleon's story for the day... well, he'll sort out his weird dreams in an hour or so... I'm all burned out... NEED FOOD...

And then, when the dark gods come to kick ass... he'll be ready.

Um...

OOC: Nooo! Dias is gone! *sob* Oh...I guess it's all up to me...well, I don't know, but I'll give it my best shot.
---------
"DIASSS!!!" She yelled. NO! Dias, you can't die...you can't be dea, I know you can't...I saved you once, I'll save you again...Dias...

"FAIRY HEAL!" No affect. He wasn't breathing. He had no pulse. He was covered in blood. But Rena still refused to believe it.

"FAIRY HEAL!" she yelled again. Still no affect..."I won't let you die...I swear, I won't let you die, Dias..." She knew in the logical, rational part of her mind that he was gone. But her heart refused to believe it.

"BESTOW MERCY!" she tried this time. And nothing happened. She used spell after spell. Nothing worked. She didn't care if she used all her energy, she was going to heal him. He had to live.

In the end, he was gone. He lay still. No sign of life. She was exausted. She couldn't even cry...she was just numb. Frozen. That's what she was.

She was incomplete. She was like a body without a soul. Without Dias...she couldn't live without Dias in her life.

"Dias...why did you leave me? WHY?! Don't! You can't leave me! If you love me, you can't leave me...don't go..." but he was gone. His last words still rung in her head.

"Dias...I love you...I always will...don't go. I love you...why? Why me?! What have I done to deserve this?! I saved Expel, I did goos deeds all my life...and this is what I get? Why? WHY?! SOMEONE! GIVE ME AN ANSWER!!!" she raised her fists to the sky, anger taking over. But her plea was in vain. No one answered. No lost spirit, or Dias ressurrected.

In the end...we are alone. I'm...all alone. There's no one left in this world...no one cares about me...Dias...you were all I had left... She got up. She felt empty. She felt like she should hate Cloud, but she didn't. She was just devoid of emotion...

"Dias...If you die, I want to be with you. I want to stay with you. I'll see you...soon Dias...we can be together this way..." she smiled, a cold, uncaring smile. How could she smile through this? The love of her life just died...he was gone, nothing could bring him back...

But still, she smiled. She withdrew Dias's sword from the sheath. She looked at it. Shining...perfect. It was perfect. Perfectly deadly. It could kill a person in one well aimed blow...and she knew that...that was what she wanted...

"Dias...we can be together forever," she said. With that, she put the sword up to her heart...

"Goodbye, Expel," she said softly. And with that, she pushed the blade in.
------
OOC:Suicide!!! It seemed fitting...but don't worry, I'm not calling it quits! I have it planned out...so don't do anything to Rena, okay?! But I swear, I'll never look at Dias and Rena the same again...A tribute to Dias and MR...I'll vote for you, like you wanted.

1 vote to Dias...
