Sephiroth-FFO Survivor

Bow to Sephiroth your god!

Sephiroth had finally entered the magic filled palace. A door flew open and Sephiroth drew his Masamune. The palace wailed, almost as if it was in pain. Reno was standing in the doorway...

"This section of the palace seems to hate violence, it retaliates with waves of mental energy" Reno claimed. Sephiroth placed the Masamune back in his belt.

"What a magnificent work of magic!" Sephiroth told.

"Truly... now how about we team up?" Reno asked. Sephiroth looked at him and smiled.

"Why should we do that?" Sephiroth answered.

"I seek to destroy all.... i want to destroy everything... just like you!" Reno says.

"Let's not confuse ourselves young one.... i want to become one with the planet and become a supreme god!" Sephiroth goes on "Killing is just part of the road to greatness! Yet you could help me... just keep the thought that they all know nothing and we are the encylopedia's of life! And death of course...." An evil smile lights the face of Sephiroth. "Let us go on! I shall proceed into the palace and seek the knowledge it holds" Sephiroth and Reno, the new combined force.... go seperate ways, with seperate goals, with seperate means....

Marle walked slowly towards a beautifully sculpted building, Kajar. She felt was being guided there by an invisible force, it whispered to her. It was like the voice in the dreams, but softer. "I can feel their spirits..."

Open the door...

Marle walked through the silent hallways, it was unusally cold. Books of the Guru's still lined the shelves. Wisdom and knowledge of magic and the world lay open to anyone.

Release the elements...

It was so familiar, Marle wondered if anything had been changed. One book lay singled out on a desk. She eyed it, and curiously opened the cover. Water began to spin above the pages. It was refreshing but dry. "Water...? I remember!" Marle ran to another book, "Water summons wind!" The book opened and the air began to howl and blow furiously. "Wind makes fire dance..." The third book was opened, and fire began to burn in the air, but it was cold... A bookshelf began move into the ground, revealing an open door.

Marle carefully walked in. The room was empty, except for a small desk with a journal of a Guru. She had read this before...but something was different. There was a new, more reccent entry. "How could this be possible?"

DAY FIVE

"...so cold... had I fallen asleep on the glacier of ice...? No... this was somewhere different... a dark form covered the sky, enveloped by clouds... the chilling winds were taking their toll... I'd have to find shelter fast..."

He awoke... once again, alone...

Vivi awoke, half covered in snow...a small structure lay not far ahead, but in the blizzard, it seemed so distant... so faint...

Remaining here wouldn't suffice, as "immortal" as he was in this world... the mage slowly made his way through the deep snow, clutching his hat so it wouldn't blow away...

The structure was an ornately decorated shrine of some sort... It looked ancient... but it was still functional... a small pad pulsed with a glorious pink light, almost beckoning the mage to step upon it... and he did so without hesitation.

The pad grew brighter, its light enveloping the mage as the world twisted and bent around him... eventually restructuring once again, yet the sounds of the blizzard were not raging outside...

Stepping outside revealed a whole new world. A gentle breeze brushed the blades of grass as the mage examined his new surroundings. Lush green plains scaped the mountainside, as well as a river running down it, spilling off the side... a mighty palace stood at the very summit, with small caves and paths leading up to it...

It was truly surreal...

Then came the matter of finding everyone else... if they were still alive... they could be trapped in the blizzard below...

"I'll tag along," Randi said, "Leon did save my life, and I'm curious of the energy my sword's feeling from you."

"I'm Cloud," the man said, "what's so curious about me?"

Randi looked at Mackey, then back at Cloud, "Nothing, I'd like to stick around anyway, in case that other swordsman comes back."

OOC: that was some weak writing, I know, but i had to put something.

Hey, no problem, Niflheim.

*****

Vincent smiled. "Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks."

"So, where to?" Randi asked.

"We're going to look for a friend of ours," Cloud replied. "If we don't find her, I guess we'll head back up to the island."

"Yeah, it's not very nice weather down here," Leon added.

The blizzard was getting even worse. "We'd better hurry and find her," Vincent said.

The others nodded in agreement. Cloud and Vincent, now joined by Randi and Leon, continued their search for Tifa.

*****

Someone get out here and start a brawl, okay? Four-on-four would be fun. I'm getting bored...

I'm glad people have enjoyed what i've put down so far....I'm gonna keep it going...but don't worry i won't go on a TOTAL tangent here...just some more character depth

CS: Ryoga Hibiki is the name of a very popular character from the manga/anime series Ranma 1/2. I won't go into specifics right here, but he and Ashton have a lot in common interms of personality, bad luck and self-pity.....After this post Doreen will be floating around some more, so that you and anyone else who wants her can make good use of her
****

Ashton and Doreen sat watching events unfold in the waters. The events that made up the life of one Ryoga Hibiki of the planet Earth.

"And that's how he got cursed." Doreen pointed out as the image faded, only to be replaced again by another. "And this is where he meets his rival Ranma again...."

Ashton watched the images with a bitter smile. Every stroke of bad luck, every misfortune that befell the hapless Ryoga....he felt it in his soul. The wounds were there, hidden away in some forgotten area of his being.

"Oh, there he's about to profess his love to Akane...." Doreen was hopping excitedly.

Ashton sighed. "Raincloud."

As if on cue the image of Ryoga was soon drenched by a sudden shower, and only a black piglet remained.

"No wonder I've never liked pork......or swimming for that matter." Ashton murmured. Ashton couldn't recall ever being afraid of water, but it always had tended to put him on the wary side. Glasses, kettles and buckets....each one always seemed to fail to hold there cargo, always spilling....getting things wet....wet....

Ashton shook his head. Not like barrels though, he thought happily, barrels never spilled. They always stood upright, never tipping, never letting the water escape. Barrels made him feel safe, and relaxed. Barrels.....

"So what do we do now? What is the point in showing me this sad little history?" Ashton sighed.

"To show you how not to live your life. As Ryoga you wallowed in self-pity, you wore your heart on your sleeve, yet lacked the courage to walk forward in life. You forever blamed the past, chased the past, tried to relive the past. You never dreamed of a better future, and thus you never had any good luck. Because you never expected anything but bad luck." Doreen was not dancing, her tone was serious yet caring. "Your greates fear came true...you were alone. You wanted companionship, yet you wanted it to come to you. Lost, alone, bearing an unrequited love....you never followed you happier dreams."

Her demeanor suddenly changed, she began smiling and dancing again.

"But in this dream things are different! While the curse of the pig left you removed from contact, this curse has gauranteed you will never be lonely! Take heart Ashton Anchors! For even Ryoga Hibiki found happiness, he just never realized his mistake! Now is the time! This dream you currently live will let you release your soul from the grief of misfortune once and for all! You are not alone! Your love can be requited! Dream a better dream Ashton Anchors! Then live that dream to its fullest!"

Ashton could not help but smile at Doreen hopped around him, her voices melody lighting up the room. Gyoro and Urunrun made themselves known, rubbing against his head as a cat would a leg.

"I will try Doreen....you have given me much to think about." Ashton smiled again.

"Best of luck Ashton Anchors....perhaps I shall see you again before you leave this place, but for now other dreamers must be awakened! Dream a better dream Ashton, Goddbye!" With that Doreen hopped into the air where she spun and disappeared.

"What a trip...." Ashton stood up and walked to a nearby wall, thinking of what he would do now. His whole perspective on life needed to change. Thoughtfully, he picked up a picture from a shelf.

The frame contained a painting of three people. A woman, a girl and a little boy. All three had beautiful features, and purple hair. They were all smiling in the picture, the perfect family. Yet as he looked at it Ashton could feel nothing but sadness. Perhaps this place held the memories of what happened to the real Zeal Kingdom. Surely this family, and many others like it were not smiling when the end came.

"I will change my dream...I will move forward and claim the future." Ashton spoke to his dragons. "I am not alone, and I will help those in need!"

Smiling with determination Ashton turned to leave the room, but unkowingly stepped on a transport portal. When he looked around he found himself standing in the middle of an icy storm, devoid of life. His scream was drowned by the raging winds.

"Where in Zeal am I now?!!!"

Vampire with a soul

The Princess of the Blue star materialized between Zeal and the Earthbound lands below. When she saw all the ice below, her first thought was that they must be on the Blue Star. So she cast a love detection spell. If Hiro were here, it'd shine brightly in that special way it did when someone loved Lucia herself. Her spell picked something up, as it detected Lena and Dias, but it did not find Hiro. So, not the Blue Star then. The next thing she noticed was a powerful magic coming from...above her? Vane? No, it couldn't be. It felt more like Fort Dragonia. The last thing she noticed was that if it came to fight, the ground below was desolate enough for Lucia to use her full power. She wouldn't be needlessly destroying life.

So, she proceeded to fly straight up towards the magic city above her. Along the way, however, she was accosted by two very strange looking beings.

"Wow. You really are the wind. Woosh!"

"Cut it out Masa."

"Sorry."

Lucia was starting to wonder. "Who are you? I heard one of your names was...Masa?"

The other one nodded, "And I'm Mune. A great evil is coming after you, Lucia."

Masa said, "2 or 3 of them, actually. Vante and Zophar are going to team up with the great evil in this dimension to take you out."

Mune nodded again, "Yeah, you pissed Vante off when you went to save that guy's soul."

Lucia shuddered, "What? Vante contacted Zophar? And they both contacted whatever evil lives here? And they're going to send all of it after me?"

Masa nodded, "Basically, yeah. I'd hate to be you right now."

Mune added, "In case you're wondering, you're in the same dimension the Time Devourer was in. Except it's not the Time Devourer right now, it's Lavos. You migth wanna prepare for a rematch."

Lucia looked like she'd seen her own death. But she didn't want to die...she had to get back to Hiro, no matter what...her eyes narrowed with resolve...

"I'll...just have to win somehow. This land is barren enough for me to unleash the power of creation without too many consequences..."

Masa shook his head, "Not that barren. The tournament continues here. You'd still wipe everyone out if you did that."

Lucia looked like she wanted to cry. "Well? What am I supposed to do then? If these people all show up en masse, they'll all die anyway!"

Mune chuckled, "Ah yes, have you forgotten the power of humanity so quickly? And the power of love? Let them guide you. Besides, simply unleashing creation on them might not work when they're acting together."

Masa said, "Anyways, we, at least, are going to help you." He procceeded to hand Lucia a red knife. "Give that to the best swordsman that exists here. And remember what powers will guide this fight."

Lucia thought about it. Her love detection spell did pick someone up. Maybe one of them was swordsman enough to use...this strange red knife.

Mune smiled at her, "Good call."

Masa & Mune dissapeared, leaving her to track down Dias.

The Spring gets a face-lift (some Lunar spoilers)

OOC: Love your rank, Sylphid!

----------

"Wh-wh-where are w-w-we g-going again?"

"That building up ahead. Don't worry, we're close."

"A-a-alright."

It must... it must be the Transmission Spring, it's too far from the mountains to be the Shrine, but... with a building built over it...? How much time has passed during the period I have forgotten?


"Here we go. Nice and warm in here!"

"Y-yes, it is. But... is this... the Transmission Spring...?"

"Transmission Spring? I've no idea. No building over it in my time, but it could have been taken down. You think we're on Lunar?"

"With Vane in the sky, where else would we be?"

"Oh... I've never seen Vane in the sky. It was, ah, grounded during your invasion."

"I... destroyed Vane?"

"Naw, not destroyed. Mia Ausa stopped that, if I remember correctly. Just won't fly anymore."

This is all too confusing. Well, we might as well go up.


*The motley pair stepped onto the brilliant purple circle and felt themselves rise into the sky, toward the Magical Kingdom of Zeal...*

OOC: Great posts, Spads and Angel! Looks to be a real barn-burner of a round by tonight...

Où est la Lumière?

Where are you?
Tatsuya...
I need you...
Save me, please...
Tatsuya...
Tatsuya...
HELP!!"


Tatsuya was awaken by the dream again. Who exactly was that in his dream? He had no idea. He rubbed his temples and looked at the surrounding. It was dark and moist and absolutely creepy. Tatsuya got up and walked around, examining the surrounding.

"Cling!"

"Who's there?!" Tatsuya turned and shouted at the source of the noise, holding his katana tightly.

A man with long blonde hair, sharp noise and beautiful eyes came out from behind the bushes.

"I mean no harm, lad."

"I don't care, tell me your name and your intention!" Tatsuya was getting agitated, both by the dream and the lack of sleep.

"My name is Sydney...I hope we can help each other for today. It is better than to die in a foreign land."

Tatsuya hesitated and look. Sydney looked really susipicious out at a place like this. Beside Sydney had metal claws as hands. He paused and finally made a decision.

"Ok, we can be allies. But...if I met you again, we will become foes, I won't keep my katana so clean. How about that?"

Sydney smiled. A day is enough to control this man called Tatsuya....

Laguna Loire

Laguna remembered climbing up a mound of ice. Everything had suddenly turned black, and now he appeared to be transported to this wonderous place of beauty.

There were many extraordinary plants he had never seen before, and flowers of vivid, bright colours. The air had a pleasing scent, and a soft, refreshing breeze was present.

He appeared to be standing upon a white, stone path, which seemed to lead deeper into the thicket of plants, twisting and turning.

Laguna noticed a huge mountain in the distance, and a palace on the top. He stared in awe at it...it seemed...magical, like something from a fairy tale.

Without hesitation, he instantly started his journey down the stone path, hoping that it would lead to the remarkable palace.

And so it goes, on and on...

Ah... the plot thickens. XD VP spoilers...
-----
She had been through many things, but this...

Dainslef, the Godslayer... so then I will find it.

The future and the past colliding... it should have been enough to give anything - goddess, mortal, or otherwise a massive headache. Then again, time was something she remembered popping through as well. The Lost City of Dipan.

her thoughts were about to turn to something else when Loki cut through her thoughts. She leveled a steady gaze at him.

"I 'borrowed' them to further my mission, unlike you who blatantly stole something and blamed someone else. And what's this about my sense of humor?" She reached out and gave thta wolf tongue a small pull. "Behave yourself."

She looked back to Tagami and Dainself.

A symbol of hope?

Hope. The one thing humanity seemed to cling to in its darkest hours. Had she not seen hope before? The hope and will to live as they fought against the beast after the wedding? Hope for life even in the face fo the destruction of th world at Ragnarok?

The inscription on the blade-

-and from there shall the time of change come. And in that moment shall it be diverted from a stagnant river of woe to a spring of hope eternal.

Loki's words also returned to her.

In any case, it is much too complicated; the best thing to think about it is, I think, that if you choose to do something; you do it.

They were far too true. Somehow, she had already decided to save the race. She couldn't bear her existence if she did not do something to save them when she could. It proved then that destiny sometimes was definitely woven by one's self-

Even if across the stream of time.

"I'll do it," she said. "For hope, for life, and for existence."

I sacrifice the chance at pure humanity for the salvation of a race I have yet to know, but I feel as though I owe it to my own existence to do this. After I, I certainly would have had to have already decided, right?

She couldn't help the chuckle that escaped her lips then at the whole situation.

The mage moved on.

Through the caves, the mage traveled up the mountain, stepping on the green pads as they appeared. Before long, Vivi found himself on top of the mountain, just before the entrance to the Palace of Zeal...

The grass danced below in the wind... the river flowing right off the side of the mountain, piercing the clouds below... the sky lay below the island, as the dark clouds blew past unusually quickly... it was beautiful... so peaceful...

The palace was quiet... it was unoccupied, yet unusually tidy. Not a trace of dust, and everything was in its place... books, potions...

He walked up the main hallway, his footsteps echoing gently off the walls. A strange door lay in front of him... some sort of crest was inscribed on it. Trying to open it, the mage noticed there was no handle, button, or anything of the sort... pushing against it didn't help... maybe it could be opened by magical means?

"Scan!"

Analyzing data...

A short time passed before a result was obtained.

Passageway detected. This door is bound with a powerful magic, keeping it sealed from any trespassers. It is unlikely that anyone exists with the power to open this door anymore. Approximate age: 12,000 years old.

12,000 years old!? Such a civilization existed that long ago...?

Nevertheless, there was something about this door... beyond it could hold the answers to why he was summoned here...

...which brought another idea. Maybe Sylph would know...?
