Vincent looked at Cloud silently. Sephiroth was gone, and Tifa with him. He had finally met up with his friends in this strange, technologically advanced town, and Sephiroth had shown up.

Finally, Vincent spoke. "I'm sorry, my friend. I came too late to help."

"Vince...we...we have to take that bastard down."

Vincent nodded. "First...." The dark gunslinger cast Despell on himself and Cloud, countering the Slowed state Sephiroth had put them in. "We ought to split up for the time being, I think. I'll follow him directly, why don't you take that lift over there?"

Cloud nodded. Vincent hoped the man would be all right.

Vincent checked his rifle and his materia, then cast Haste on himself and Cloud. "Don't worry, Cloud. We'll get her back." With that, the former Turk ran after Sephiroth. Cloud got into the lift, which sped off around a corner. If Vincent had judged the angle of its path correctly, the lift would place Cloud just ahead of their enemy.

Sephiroth...

All-purpose Magical-girl!

Techno-city? Maybe Mizuki can finally make herself useful... or just plain destructive. NOW's the time when I really go on a vote spree...

*LOL at Beowulf's quote and Celes' R2-D2 reference*

-------

The force that engulfed her this time was different from the first. The strange tingling sensation felt like a teleport... except stronger. She was being thrown far from where she was last... and could hear the mind-voices of many others in that same time-space channel...

Mizuki awoke. The darkness cleared away as she opened her eyes slowly...

"H-Home...?"

This place was filled with strange lights and metallic textures, but it just wasn't tacky enough to look like Kusumi's lab. Instead, she saw shades of mundane grey... her sight drifted upwards, to a huge window. The morning sky painted the reflective tiles below with soft tints of yellow and blue. Turning her head around, she could see that the room was much larger and more complex than she had imagined. Two closed glass doors stood on bth sides of the room. Under the huge window were many computer monitors, and thousands of keys. Mizukisat up, and looked behind her... more equipment. Apparently, radio and broadcast equipment.

// Radio? Kusumi never let me use her stuff! //

Mizuki stood up, her footsteps too soft to make any loud clanging noises on the steel tiles. At closer inspection, the computer screens were more like security screens... a couple of them did have applications functional. Something moved on one of the screens... it seemed that the others were transported here too. The person on the screen was a girl with long blue hair...

She didn't know whether to be upset at this or not. While it did mean more senseless and annoying battles, at least it meant that she wasn't alone. But how to reach them? It would be easy to use this equipment...

Her hands were on the panels in no time. One of the open applications was some kind of text-based broadcast program. Just had to--

A sign flashed red on another screen. "INTRUDER ALERT: SECTOR 29" It soon changed to "INTRUDER ALERT, SECTOR 4." New numbers kept popping up. Finally, the computer stated with a mechanical female voice, "Sending cyborg guards out. Sending cyborg guards."

Mizuki was surprised. She probably landed in a very lucky place... an area already surrounded by these cyborg guards, so none of them approached the room. If so... there would probably be a security room somewhere nearby. With this... it would be simple to get things back in order for herself. But something here was very disturbing... there were papers strewn about, headphones on the floor, and half-typed text files on the monitors. What happened to the people here?

"What's done is done," Mizuki shrugged, looking over the abandoned projects. Now, to handle what was before her. Not knowing what to type, she decided to just locate the people who she had just met...

Is Tempel Knite Beowolf here or Veevee?

Mizuki... sweatdropped. Asking wasn't going to help--

Just then, a sign flashed on her screen... "Guest user entrance failed. Server too busy."

This was more than just broadcast equipment... it also served like a chat room... which Kusumi NEVER allowed her to use! Mizuki smiled in anticipation. This might be fun...

Glass, glass, glass... I must speak with Taben about this place when... if... I return. His masterpiece, for all its functional magnificence, cannot compare in elegance to this city. However soulless it is here.

But I digress. And I have been doing so too much, lately - letting my mind wander, forgetting my purpose, allowing emotion to rule me. What is happening to me? Where is the confidence I had, the certainty... have I fallen this far?

I used to be able to play people like puppets, doing my bidding without their even knowing I held the strings. And now? Stopped short by a stubborn girl. Not only that, made to question who I am, what I am doing, whether I am right. Uncertain whether I can succeed - or, perhaps, whether I DID succeed.

Bah. Enough quizzical introspection. I have goals to accomplish, and I suppose I have been, as they say, barking up the wrong tree. If Luna is willing to talk, she will come to me on her own; if not, I doubt I can convince her, without resorting to force, and I should like to avoid that if I can. And meanwhile, I have forgotten about Ronfar; he, too, should have some idea of what happened to me, and as he does not know my true identity it should not be difficult to get information out of him.

Why did I not do so from the start, for that matter? Was Luna's reaction to me so unsettling that I forgot every scrap of practical, logical reason?

In the name of Althena, what is happening to me...?

OOC: Saint, I await your Paris story with bated breath...

Triple LOL@ThunderBlossom. Thanks for continuing the joke!

Action time....

*****

"Cease all movement now, or you shall be disintigrated."

Wonderful...just wonderful...

Vincent skidded to a halt. He knew he should have been more careful. There were at least three of those bizarre robotic creatures behind him now, maybe more.

"Put your hands into the air," one of the cyborgs said. Vincent complied with the mechanical monster's order.

He allowed the cyborg to grip his wrist and roughly put his right arm behind his back, while he silently planned out his attack. You'll regret this, robot...

Vincent felt the robot pull on his left arm, and acted. With one flick of his mechanical wrist, his left arm was free. Vincent drew back his metal hand and quickly attacked. His enemy never saw it coming.

The cyborg slumped lifelessly as his hand went through its mechanical chest. His right arm now free, he drew the Death Penalty and turned to the second cyborg, which was about to attack him with a strange weapon of its own.

Ducking below the crimson ray that shot forth from the robot's weapon, Vincent fired at the creature's mechanical head.

The robot grabbed its face just as the bullet impacted, sending small pieces of metal flying. It flew some eight feet before slamming into one of the lifts. The third cyborg rushed him, a fiery sword-like weapon held high.

Not even trying to fire again, Vincent cast a powerful bolt down from the sky, shorting out the creature in mid-stride.

A good thing I have my materia. That Haste spell was quite useful.

Vincent holstered his rifle and continued his pursuit of Sephiroth, leaving three smoking hulks of metal behind him.

*****

Hey, that was fun!

Edit: Must learn to proofread...

--------------------------
FFO Survivor Reporter: Tada!! We are back again from yesterday's silent report^^;; Now, onto the answer!

Delita, Gohan and Sydney were teleported to a place where they have no idea where it is. With bluish glass, cyborgs, flying space ships, tunnels that lead to different part of the city...etc. it seems like this place is highly developed.

"Where...are we?" asked Gohan. "Last time, we were in a jungle, just about to hear the reply from the ladies' man. And now, we are here?"

"How about a look around in the city? So we might have some ideas as where is our destination," suggested Delita.

"I have no problem with that," replied Sydney, as he tries to figure out a way to make sure they are safe.

The city is so quiet and empty. It looks as if something have attacked it and everyone just disappear into the thin air.

It's just...a coincident.

Yes, what a coincident that they met up with the ladies' man and his team. Both teams look shocked when they saw each other on the different ends of the road.

"Uh hi, we met again!" said the ladies' man.

"Greetings....may I know your names?" Delita ask politely.

"This is Lenneth Valkyrie, and I am Laguna" said Laguna as he introduced his team. "We are looking for our other member, his name is Jun, you see, he got long black hair, uses katanas......(deleted the following describtion) and yea.....that's how he looks......and now onto.....(delete the following BS to save time^^|||) Well, have you seen him?"

Everyone is just glad he finished his "long" speech. Lenneth gave a sigh; Gohan yawned; Delita is busy checking out his red cape; Sydney is making sure his claws are always sharp.

"Oh, you've finsihed....." muttered Delita under his breath. "Nope we haven't seen him, last I checked....wasn't he suppose to be with you guys?"

"Daaaaaaaaaarn! What-ever, man!" Laguna wasn't really happy with Delita's response.

Sydney got annoyed with this man, he finally spoke, "well...what are you up to?"

"We..." just when Laguna was about to say his sentence, Lenneth interrupted.

"Like Laguna said, we are looking for a man named Jun," said Lenneth. "Apparently, he is no where in sight," continued Lenneth, "and since this city is so quiet and full of cyborgs...I would like to ally with you guys in this round before we find the trace of Jun."

"Sounds good to me! I might be able to help, coz I can scan the trace of people's energy signature!" Gohan suggested.

"Alright! No worries, man! That's like, my specialty!" exclaimed Laguna.

Everyone just sweatdropped^^;;

"Lets just ignore him-_-|||" said Lenneth.

"What? I speak with passion, from the heart! That's what matters most! You guys... You're gonna regret sayin' that. They say, one who makes fun of a genius will end up cryin' in the end!" Laguna yelled.

Everyone sweatdropped again^^;;

"Uh....lets go......"

And everyone leave.

"How can you deal with him?" Delita whispered to Lenneth.

"I just leave him," said Lenneth with a mischevious grin.

"Wa--wait!! My... leg... cramped up!!!" Laguna shouted from behind.

FFO Survivor Reporter: So....they are allied....for now....and they decided to look for Laguna and Lenneth's lost team member. Where will they end up? What more trouble will Laguna cause for the group? When will they become enemies again? Well....I don't know....*gets bricked* Anyhoo...till then, see ya! *gets bricked again*

Sephiroth-FFO Survivor

Sephiroth seemed like he was in a trance as he carried Tifa off into the glass metropolis.
"Three blind mice, Three blind mice, see how they run, see how they run.....ahahahahahahahaaaaa!!" Sephiroth disturbly sang. Cloud sped past in the lift, Sephiroth halted from his flight. "Ah my beautiful puppet.... right on time!"

The lift stopped and Cloud dashed as close as he could to Sephiroth without falling to his peril. With his immense mind Sephiroth lifted Cloud next to him, Cloud drew his Ultima Weapon and tried to take Sephiroth's head off, but Sephiroth teleports above Cloud, Cloud jabs at Sephiroth, Sephiroth teleports below Cloud and lifts Tifa up, Cloud ceases his blow before he hits Tifa. Sephiroth gets back to the same level as Cloud, using Tifa as his human shield.
"Hahaha, wouldn't want to harm the lady would you?" Sephiroth hands Tifa to Cloud. Cloud is confused why he did this...
"Why did you give her back?!" Cloud asked.

"Because my arms are tired my little puppet...and besides your not going anywhere..." Sephiroth smirked.

"Stop calling me that!" Cloud tried to get back to the rooftop but was stuck in the same bit of sky.

"Are you abolishing your purpose? Your exsistance?! The meaning of your life?!" Sephiroth asked.

"I'm not your puppet!" Cloud proclaimed. Sephiroth sternly looks at Cloud, Cloud stares back to the evil god. Suddenly Cloud lets go of Tifa and she falls down to the city below. "TIFA!!!" Cloud shouted after her.

"That's your fault! You did that! You see?!" Sephiroth told Cloud. Sephiroth drew his Masamune and slashed Cloud across the knees. "..............puppet!" Sephiroth hurls Cloud back to the rooftop and sees Tifa being caught just in time by Vincent. Sephiroth is angered at this...."Ring around a rosey, a pocket full of posies, ashes, ashes, we all fall DOWN!" Sephiroth lets Bio3 fly into Vincent, fatally poisoning him. Sephiroth floats down and reclaims Tifa once more, then flies off ready for Cloud's second coming.....

1 VOTE TO CLOUD
1 VOTE TO VINCENT (you cant stop me no matter who u r)

Jun FFO Survivor 5

Lost again. How . . .irritating. Jun was definitely in a city. It appeared to be a city built by a highly advanced culture. Every single building gleamed with solid technological perfection. Certainly the construction appeared to be much larger than anything he had seen; toping even the palace at Artolia! It appeared to have been designed for a large amount of people. Buildings spanned seemingly endlessly into the sky. Yet, despite this, the city was empty and silent.

Jun wandered into a complex building and walked up to something that appeared to be made of glass. "Welcome to Esthar shopping concourse," came a voice. "Please make your selection."

A store, he thought. There could be useful items here...

Sylphid
Red Mage For Life

"A-all right... Sylph... but... where a-are we...?"

The man took a cursory glance at the surroundings. "I believe this is Esthar... a technologically advanced city... there was once hundreds of thousands of people living here, but it appears to be abandoned... maybe we should look around?"

The mage nodded in agreement. Pocketing the amulet, the two began to walk towards a set of tubes. Their footsteps echoed upon the transparent walkways in the eerie silence. Faint noises of moving machinery could be heard in the distance as a gentle breeze picked up.

Sylph stepped forward. "These are transportation tubes. Standing on one of these platforms will take you to another part of the city. I'm not sure where it'll take us, though. Just gotta let it take you where it will, eh?"

So it's like the elevator in Lindblum? That's not so frightening... nevertheless, Vivi stepped upon the pad reluctantly, wondering what would happen.

The man stepped upon the platform with the mage and pressed a few buttons on a control console.

*BUZZ* <beep> "Unable to comply." The mage jumped a bit at the sudden sound of the robotic voice.

Sylph was a bit embarrassed. "Sorry..." He punched a few more coloured keys on the pad.

*BUZZ* -click- ~whirr~ "Processing command... please wait..."

The platform suddenly sped off, knocking the mage on his rear.
Pushing himself off the ground, Vivi noticed the buildings screaming by at an incredible speed. Just how fast were they going...? And where was this going to take them?

As suddenly as it had started, the lift stopped. Vivi tumbled forward, performing a complete somersault before landing on his face. Sylph just laughed.

"I guess there's disadvantages to being light. You okay there?"

The mage got up and brushed his robe. "Y-yeah... I'm okay..."

"Well, where to? We've got a gigantic city to explore. Lead on."

OOC: OK, finished that up.

Shades of Green

As Leon and the rest walked through the city, he couldn't help but be captivated by the highly developed technology that these people had created.
He knew that he was suppose to be searching for the lost Lucia, but the city was too intriguing. Any child his age would have been captivated by the citie's unique attributes. To him the city was more than that, it was a symbol of progress.

"As much as loved the jungle, I prefer this city much more." Leon said.

"You would." Ashton said under his breathe.

"I'm sorry, did you say something Ashton." Leon said happily.

"Oh, uh no, I didn't." Ashton replied.

Leons eyes danced and his ears perked up.
"Look Ashton!" Leon shouted.
"There's a barrel over there!"

Ashton spun around frantically searching for the barrel.
"Where?" he said .
"Where, where, where!?"
"Tell meeeee!"
Ashtons eyes searched for the barrel with great might.

Leon turned toward Ashton and started laughing.
"Silly Ashton, there's no barrel."

Vampire with a soul

Lucia was still following her tracking beam, when yet another cyborg got too close to her. It promptly malfunctioned, and ran off yelling, "Run, run, or you'll be well done! Run run, or you'll be well done!" It occasionally shot fire out of its arms as it ran off. Lucia didn't have a clue as to what was going on. However, as she looked around, she saw Celes walking by on a different causeway. Lucia simply flew over to her now found again friend.

"Celes!"

"Lucia! Good to see a friendly face. You wouldn't believe all the strange machines they have around here..."

Lucia nodded. "No. I wouldn't, except I have to believe what I see, and what I sense. Anyway, what happened to Marle?"

Celes shook her head. "I don't know. We got seperated in the jungle, and I haven't seen her since."

Lucia sighed. "Well, I suppose we should start looking for her. She's probably not very comfortable in this place by herself. I know I'm not comfortable here."

Celes agreed, "It's certainly more...advanced...then anything I've seen before. But yes, let's go try to find Marle. Can you track her down?"

Lucia replied, "I could try, if I had something to track..."

Celes thought for a moment..."Try her pendant! That should have a unique magic to it."

Lucia nodded, "That should work." She wove her spell to track down the pendant, and got a direction. They proceeded to walk off in that direction.
