LOL! You're clicking it constantly, too? XD

Dude, I'd never used a single emoticon before this aside from basic smilies and the ones supported by the FFO site. What a difference a week makes!

*is taking anti-depressants for a good reason* I won't be able to stay on for long, so if I'm forced offline right before Krizak posts the results... @_@

*offers everyone alcohol* =D

I'm playing Aerith's theme over and over again, but it's not making me calm, for some reason. @_@;

No - Kyo & Baka aren't here. They were the last two finalists, and before that, I don't think anyone else was there.

Bombay and I and Exeter were in the semi's last tourney, but that was as far as we got. ^^

Edit: LMAO @ everyone!

Edit 2: I don't drink. ^^ *gets water* I'm also cutting down on sugars and carbonation - my ulcer from last summer might be returning.

I neither drink nor use any sort of drugs unless I'm sick nor drink caffeinated beverages (carbonation and the taste of coffee don't agree with me; has nothing to do with the caffeine itself) so I'm pretty much up a creek.

Wow, three vets, eh? Cool.

*Hopes TP doesn't miss the results.*

EDIT: *Sees Minty's post* By BG do you mean Boxing Ghaleon? If so, thanks! XDDDDDD

*gets wacked by BA* Itai~ @_@;;

Min - Do you know how the finals work, then? Do we vote for who we want to win, or vice versa?

edit - And *lol* at the BG thing =D

No, BG as in Background, on my Mintaka pic *points back a LONG way*

Though drawing Boxing ghaleon would be fun. *drops it on the to-do list with the EoM scene*

This will be so fun to ficify. XDD

Edit: Yeah, we got to vote, they get to fight and make drama. We cats the votes against the poeple we want out, I believe, as it always has worked. Kriz will explain how he wants it done, I'm sure.

I'm gonna need this locked... my brain is going. X_x....

OOC: Of course this is better than Othello! I had a horrible time reading that play. And notice how that AP reading % down there hasn't moved in three days? Well once the tourney's over, it'll shoot back up... either that or I'll start the term with an F .

FINALE, PART I

An eerie glow surrounded him.

Vivi found himself lying on a small outcropping of stone... he was in a small room with no entryway or exit; just one solid, smooth wall surrounding a large mass of water in the center...

The Memory Pools...!

The Pools glowed with every conceivable colour, reflecting their brilliant array of luminescence over the walls. A strange glow emenated from the depths of the Pools, casting light into the entire room.

Everything looked normal...

But the mage could feel it... there was a large source of magical energy here... the Mana pervaded the air as if it were attracted to the Pools... or perhaps, it was being absorbed by them...

Nevertheless, it was time. Vivi had to fulfill his part in order to save all existance.

He took the Rainbow Staff that Sylph had gave him... there were powerful magics contained within it... some spells he knew, while others were completely foreign to him.

The first element was Fire. Its spell was Firaga. Easy enough, that wasn't a difficult spell to perform. Focusing his energy on the base of the Pools below... slowly, he chanted the spell.

"Firaga."

His voice echoed eerily through the empty chamber, slowly fading to silence as the spell began to take effect.

From the depths below, a burst of flame could be seen underwater...

The ground suddenly shook... it wasn't a violent tremor... just a small rumbling, enough to notice... as the ground vibrated, a small section of the Pools glowed with a crimson colour...

The first element had been cast. The next was Water, corresponding to a more powerful version of his own Water spell, Wataga. (OOC: Yes, I changed the spelling... I like it better that way ^^)

The mage repeated the process with the second element. "Wataga."

His voice echoed once more as the magic bubbled below. The ground rumbled once more... a little stronger this time, but it wasn't anything to worry about...

A section of the Pools began to glow with a brilliant sapphire glow...

So far, so good...

"Master, I've done it."

Sylphid was once again praying before the Goddess of Mana in his Temple when his disciple brought the news.

"You mean... he's casting the spells entrusted in the staff?" the master asked, slowly rising.

"Yes. Soon, it shall all be over. Mana has been saved." The joy in Sylph's voice was obvious. His quest had been successful. He had assisted Vivi in saving the multiverse.

"You've done well, young one. We have prayed for your success, and so you have delivered. I thank you deeply. But for now, please, rest. You deserve it."

"Thank you, Master. I shall take my leave now."

"Please do..."

The apprentice began to exit. His task was fulfilled. Shortly, it would all be over...

"At last..." Sylphid sighed. "After a long wait, the Memory Pools will finally be destroyed!"

The apprentice froze in his tracks. "What...?" He slowly turned to face his master. "Destroyed...? What do you mean?"

The master sighed once again. "Exactly that. The Pools have been a nuisance to us for long enough. They have destroyed the Mana that allows us to live, as well as the multiverse itself. Now, they will plague us no more! All shall begin anew..."

"But... won't that have a significant impact on other worlds?"

"Yes... but we had no choice... Once the final elemental spell is cast, the overflow of Mana inside the pools will cause a great cataclysm, destroying the Pools and all existance light years around them... an unfortunate side effect, but a necessary one."

Sylph was shocked... was this what he had strived so hard for...? Annihilation of the Pools? Was this... the right thing to do?

"But master... what of those still remaining in the tournament?"

Sylphid spoke, a hint of frustration in his voice, perhaps a hint of panic as well. "Unfortunately, they will perish as well... but you've got to understand! The Pools' existance is certain death for us! Without Mana, we will cease to exist if they continue to consume Mana at the rate they have been doing so!"

The apprentice continued his querying. "Still... how can you justify this? Destroying the lives of so many... the hopes and dreams... just to ensure our longevity? And surely, how can you justify using someone to do your bidding? As we speak, Vivi is summoning the elemental magics to save us! He doesn't know he's going to be destroyed in the process! Can you truly say that you can live with that!?"

Sylphid's voice grew in anger. "Watch your tongue! You don't seem to grasp the concept that we will DIE if the Pools are not eliminated! Our existance is paramount! We are destined to watch over the multiverse and guide its growth through the power of Mana and the eight elements! Would you sacrifice your life for a few mortals who are destined to die anyways!?"

The apprentice turned away from his master, disgraced. He wasn't buying any of this.

"Yes... yes, I would. It is pure cowardice that would drive one to take all that another possesses in order to fulfill their needs. They may not be immortal, but their lives mean something to them... I experienced that over the past 6 days... their struggle to survive. Their raw emotions... love... hate... courage... their will to live! What right do we have to take it all away from them?" He turned to his master once more. "I have been your apprentice for three hundred years... never would I have thought you'd place such selfish needs above others!"

The master was enraged. "You dare go against the will of the Goddess of Mana!?"

Sylph turned away once more. "Yes... and there is something I must do." He headed for the temple's doors.

"And what is that!?"

He looked back at his master for the final time. "I must stop Vivi from destroying the Memory Pools."

OOC: Was that alright? I sure hope so! *is trying really hard to give everyone a good ending to his storyline ^^*
