I have a Wanzer!

Kazuki kept running through the forest, running past people, trees, and other strange things.

About a half hour after running nowhere, Kazuki fell, silent, onto the densly covered ground. On his forehead, a large bruise...

Kazuki had hit a tree, and then fell to be left for the demons...or the other contestants...

Sylphid
Red Mage For Life

DAY ONE

"...I awoke to a terribly frightening sight. Much like the Evil Forest, this place was dark, dank, and eerily quiet, save for the rustling of the trees... I could sense... evil... out there..."

Vivi awoke, finding himself lying on a dirt floor. The dream... that strange voice...

"Vivi? Are you alright?"

The mage looked up. Standing before him was a blonde-haired man clad completely in black... from his long bandanna flowing in the breeze down to his polished boots, he looked... well, evil. A broadsword was fastened to his belt. He stood with his arms crossed. Apparently, he had been waiting here for a while... but for what reason?

He stepped forward and stretched his gloved hand out to the mage. "Good day, young one," the mysterious man said. "I know this isn't the most... welcoming of places... but you gotta take what's handed to you, eh?"

Vivi took his hand and stood up. Brushing the dirt off his new red robe, he noticed his staff lying to his side. How did that get there...? He'd left that in the Alexandria Royal Library...

Frightened, the little mage tried to regain his composure. He looked up into the man's shining blue eyes. Something about him seemed... familiar...? No, this person was nobody he'd ever seen before. Perhaps it was just the... "aura" he exuded...? It was a powerful, yet calm, feeling. He mustered up the courage to ask a question.

"Wh-who... a-are you...? And wh-where a-are we...?"

The man thought for a moment... he knew his time was running out, but... he tried to realize how frightened any mortal would be finding themself in a foreign place like this... especially someone so young.

Finally, he replied. "I am the apprentice to Sylphid, the Lord of Wind. I've come here on an important mission that requires your assistance. But first, I need to give you something..." He reached into a pocket inside his trousers and pulled out a small crystal on a chain.

Handing it to the mage, he informed him of it's purpose. "This amulet holds a powerful magic that only you should be able to use. It holds the ability to summon me back into this plane... but it can only be used every so often..."

Vivi gazed into the small orb... it seemed like a tempest swirled about inside. The small pendant pulsed with with an incredible magical power...

The man continued. "I have one final task I must fulfill..." As the man drew his sword, the mage stepped back in fear... but the man was not prepared to attack; instead, he held the blade in front of him and began to incant... an archaic language that no mortal had heard...

The jungle breeze began to pick up... what was a wisp of air was now a blasting gale as the trees struggled to maintain their stance in the powerful tempest. The man's voice grew louder as his sword began to glow...

Vivi felt something within him stir... a feeling of energy...

The entire jungle shook as a beam of pure holy energy fired from the heavens... the brilliant white beam struck the young mage, piercing his very soul and infusing it with power.

And as sudden as it had all occurred, it had ended. He felt... powerful. Protected. A little more courageous.

"Wh... what w-was th-that?" Vivi queried.

The man spoke. "That was a protective magic I cast upon you. It will be impossible for you to be slain with its protection - be it by demon or human - yet it is still possible to be injured, so you are not completely invincible..."

Immune to death? Well, at least that was one thing the mage wouldn't have to worry about! But still... "immortal" or not, this was a frightening place.

"Th-thank y-you..." was all Vivi could reply... but before he could think of anything further to say, a strange, blue aura began to swirl about the man's boots... he was slowly dissolving away...!

The man looked down at his disintegrating self. Quickly, he looked to the mage. "Vivi! The energy that ties me into this world is growing weak! Take the amulet and go... use it to summon me again, and I will inform you of what you must do... good luck! May the Goddess of Mana smile upon thee!" Slowly, the mysterious figure faded away, and he had completely vanished from where he had stood...

The mage was alone... ahead, a dark jungle stretched into the distance. Clutching the amulet, he slowly proceeded onward, unaware of the evils he may meet...

Tagami - GO!!!!!

"Morning smiles
Like the face of a newborn child
Innocent unknowing
Winter's end
Promises of a long lost friend
Speaks to me of comfort
But I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose here in this lonely place
Tangled up in our embrace
There's nothing I'd like better than to fall
to fall...
to fall...
to fall..."


*whirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr*

Animals believe in angels, too. The descent slowly touched the jungle surface and illuminated the night, chasing away the shadows. Surely this was a sign from the heavens. An intense light extended throughout the reaches of the trees, causing birds to flutter and the beasts to stir. A stranger, out of place and out of reality, was amoung their midst which provoked something in the air. As quickly as it happened, the light immediately subsided. The island was asleep.

Drone: "We've arrived at our destination 1731.1 Mark 5. This is the Temp. Initiating wide perimeter sweep."

Tagami: "Life signs?"

Drone: "Plant, wildlife and several moving Shifters. Don't worry, ma'am. It's nothing we haven't seen before."

She made sure that God's Holy Gun was by her side. It gave her a predatory sense of comfort.

Tagami: "Which means we should be careful. Get a few shots of the surrounding area. It will give us a good starting point. If you see any Shifters, get that too. I remember the legends said they were shifted against their will, but I want to see for myself."

Activating the recording lens, the Data Unit did as it was told and began to document various objects of interest. It would have been a silent expedition had it not been for a sudden burst of high pitched static...

[timewalker. report]

"I have a name you know..."

[a designation > irrelevant. submit report]

Tagami sighed. "We're scanning for Ayin and Keir now. So far, there doesn't seem to be any evidence that they were here in this Temp at all. But that's not what concerns me."

[continue.]

"Our primary target will be even harder to track down in time." Tagami gazed into the ancient carvings as she brandished Dainslef in her hand.

"By the way, how did you find me?"

[a temporal signature originates from every elemental serial IB.]

"Including mine, I suppose."

[initiate continuous datafeed.]

"Affirmative. Timewalker out."

Tagami closed the link and looked at her drone.

Tagami: "C'mon, we're going to find my contact in this Temp."

Drone: "The Gamma? Ma'am, I'd advise against that. There are Shifters everywhere and they might be confrontational. If you would just let me finish my scans, I'm sure..."

Tagami grabbed the data unit and pulled it forward, "Listen drone, I'm in charge here. Now keep up with me."

The drone began to stammer, "But, ma'am! The Datafeed!"

Tagami raised an eyebrow, "And if you complain once more, you'll meet an army of me...." That made her smile.

El Diablo del hielo.

Randi glanced behind him where a small quarrel had broken out. It seemed someone attacked another contestant before the hour was up.

"I'd better warm up with those creatures first. I've never used the sword without the energy of Mana before."

He walked through the jungle cautiously, with his right hand at the hilt of his sword, although it was sheathed. It was a bit hard to find anything at first, the other entries were taking the good ones.

Suddenly, a horrid shriek came from above him. An ape-like creature fell down directly in front of him. Randi leapt back first, but the monster just stared intently at him.

"Um, are you just going to stand there?" Randi said.

At that moment, the monster slammed the ground in anger and let out a giant howl.

"This ain't no ordinary creature is it?" he said to himself. He unsheathed his sword and started to gain store his stamina to 4/7's it's normal level.

The monster, didn't advance or retreat, it just stood there howling and stomping the ground.

The second Randi gained his stamina, he leaped out a violent slash towards the monster. However, the loss of Mana had made him slower than before. "No, the sword is heavier than it used to be, and it doesn't glide through the air."

Even with the change in style, Randi's slash was able to make contact with the enemy and bring it down to the ground.

"That was easy enough."

Ronfar - FFO Survivor

OOC: Crystal, I'm still getting a message that your PM box is full. Do you have email?

______

These demons were vicious but seemed to be more bark than bite. Izlude moved effortlessly from one enemy to another with movements so precise they almost seemed choreographed. Distracted by the dragoon's dance of death Ronfar didn't notice the slavering insect-like abomonation until it was almost on him. Reflexively he hurled his magic dice at the beast and yelled, "Lady Luck be kind". The dice shined brightly and punched through the torso of the demon. As more of the creatures charged towards the warriors he retrieved another crest from his pocket and muttered a complex incantation under his breath. Sharp spears of rock thrust up from the ground, impaling the remaining demons.

Ronfar surveyed the scene of carnage and laughed heartily, “Hell of a warm up programme they’ve got here.”

"Don't touch me you peasent!" she shouted as Tseng tried to yank her arm. "You are running from.. this?" Ultimecia looked at the Dragon as though it was nothing more than garbage, her hands began to glow, a blackness surrounded her and a smile errupted on her face, "Ultima!!!" A darkness surrounded the creature and created a black sphere around it, Tseng looked on in shock, the sphere glowed a few times and then dissolved, leaving the skinless corpse of the Dragon laying on the ground. Ultimecia tunred back to Tseng who was still watching in amazement. "Now we shall leave." said Ultimecia with a smug look upon her face, as she walked back in the jungles darkness...

Most Hated FFO Member =(

After Boko Mog heard the loud gunshot, he ran toward where he believed Kazuki was. However, he could not find him, and soon, he began wandering endlessly, attempting to stay out of sight from other participants.

Finally, after what seemed hours, he found someone laying on the ground, with a bruised forehead.



Boko Mog
"Ahh, dammit, wake up!"

Boko Mog put Kazuki against the tree, and pulled out his sword .... just in case.

A little later, Kazuki can to his senses, and they were off, defending themselves from other blood-thirsty contestants.

FFO Survivor: Ghaleon

A dragon! By Althena... I had thought only the four dragons of Lunar existed. What a strange world this is!

It amazes me to watch the dynamic of this strange group of motley adventurers, as they randomly connect with perfect, often sinister, strangers and then proceed to betray one another just as quickly. I would observe them more closely, if only for interest's sake, but I have other things to attend to.

I feel it probably best to begin my inquiries among those who are not currently involved in the combat - they may be more receptive. Beyond the sounds of combat, I hear that river our host(ess?) spoke of. I shall try my luck there first, I think.

Ah, one of these dragons appears to have taken interest in me. Come on, then, dragon. Let us see how strong you really are.

*Ghaleon magically increases his strength, strikes the charging dragon across the throat.*

Dead in one stroke, eh? Not much of a challenge, are you? I can only hope that Lunar's dragons prove more powerful, or they may not be capable of providing the service I require of them.

Or have they provided it already...?

"Thanks!" Marle grinned and dashed quickly out of sight. How nice of...umm... Marle thought for a moment, I guess I should have asked who the were...no matter! I need my pendant back!

Marle ran harder, "Where is that thing!!" Her eyes narrowed. She slowed to catch her breath and look at her surroundings. The muffled sound of voices could be heard just beyond some foliage. "I wonder who-," she stepped closer.

"Ultima!" A strong womanly voice boomed not far in front of her. Marle gulped and peeked out from behind one bush to see a tall elaborately dressed woman with an expression of frustration staring at another man. The remains of a small creature sizzled next to her. The scent of burning demon flesh waffed pass Marle's nose, forcing her to slap one hand over her mouth and the other on her stomach. eeeew!

Something gittered. The beatiful pendant that dated back to the Zeal kingdom shone with the power of the deceased Mammoth Machine. One problem was getting it back.

Tseng followed Ultimecia, stunned. 'So that's Ultima? Or at least one form of it. She must be powerful indeed to be able to use it so casually...anyone else would've been gasping and reaching for an Ether by now.'

He looked over at her. She cast an occasional glance over her shoulder, as if looking for something following her.

'Maybe it's just how her world works...if so, I hope there's not that many of them around.'

He glanced over brightly. "So, I still don't know your name..."

"No, you don't."

"Well? What is it?"

"Ultimecia. Now be silent."

She turned back to scanning the bushes. 'Charming...'

Magus
Professional Goober

"May the Creator watch over you."

The words pulsed through his mind as he found himself in a strange land of green. There were two possibilities. Either those two were monumentally stupid, or something strange was going on.

Magus smirked to himself. In the realm of the Continuous, something strange was always going on.

Out of the corner of his eye, Magus spied a demon lurking in the shadows. It was a vile beast with sharps fangs and a look of pure evil. One got the impression that it could have you dead several times before you hit the ground. Magus shuddered.

"So that's what I must look like to others..."

Because, as the beast was born from the powers of Death, so too was Magus. He learned his true craft under the cover of darkness, honed his skills in the black light of his own soul. He was a remorseless killer, and now it was all he could do.

"I feel like I've failed you Mother. You wanted me to grow and learn, but all I do is destroy and kill. Nothing has changed. I feel that if I don't find somewhere to belong, I won't have a purpose. Without purpose, things don't have to exist."

Without warning, the beast sprang forth and attacked Magus. He cast a spell at it, but there was no effect. It was an evil spell, the beast was a product of that same evil. Magus looked deep into himself, he searched for what The Creator had taught him. He found the answer in his soul.

A flash of pure, white light passed from his fingers to the beast, and destroyed it.

"Perhaps I didn't fail her..."

Magus would have to figure that out for himself.

Tagami and the data unit came across a clearing in the dense jungle. A skirmish was taking place.

Drone: "Over there, ma'am."

Tagami used her Elemental sight and zoomed in on the strange being.

"It's a Shifter alright. Take a scan."

The data unit sent out a silent beam and immediately analyzed the Shifter's genetic makeup and compound.

Drone: "That's Magus. Just like in the legend."

Tagami looked over, "The Shadow With a Soul? Amazing! So it is true!!"

Holy Knight

Cloud held Tifa close to him. "Tif....Its another one..Well, this explains the dreams....and the uneasiness..." "Yeah Cloud" she replied. "Tif...You think Vincent's here? ...The Real one...not the...imposter that drug us here..." "I'm not sure Cloud...but I suppose its a place to start..."

Cloud and Tifa set off, hand in hand. 'Cloud's been acting so strange lately' she thought to herself. 'I hope nothing's wrong...' she thought.

Suddenly, there was a rustle in the bushes, and creatures that looked something out of a nightmare poured out. "TIFA!! LOOK OUT!" Cloud yelled, as he pulled out his sword. Cloud started fighting off the creatures, and Tifa joined in. Creature after creature fell. Slash after slash, punch after punch, until something went wrong. A giant creature stepped out from behind the trees, and knocked Tifa over, leaving a gash in her arm. "TIFA!!" Cloud yelled, rushing at the giant creature. He suddenly felt something snap. His eyes turned completely black, and a purple aura surrounded him. "And now, hellspawn, you DIE!!" he said in a demonic voice. "OMNISLASH" he muttered, and slashed the creature to ribbons. He walked over to Tifa, before passing out on the ground next to her.
