Exeter
Desperado

Current thoughts in Exeter's head (frightening concept, I know): Okay, Sean (that's my name, by the way), just breath. It's all right. You're still alive.

For those of you wondering what that was all about... I went out driving, this time solely on the open road. No parking lots or anything for me this time. Other cars (tailgaters!), pedestrians, 45-mph speed limits, and so on. Basically, I'm a nervous 15 year old who knows he's going to crash and burn whenever he drives. It's sad, ne?

Anyway, where the hell is Haze?

I'll wait another hour or so, else I'll have to get on with my story. Other characters, feel free to stop by and say hello/attack Vincent and or Ryudo any time...

FFO Survivor: Ghaleon

Ghaleon goes NUTZ0RS

Ghaleon stalked across the windswept plains, tortured thoughts shrieking in his head.

"All that... lost... for nothing! So many lives...!"

Everything he came across - man, beast, plant - he attacked with inhuman ferocity, his anger swelling to fever pitch. Anger at himself, and at everything. It was all meaningless. Nothing mattered anymore, especially not in this hellish place.

Everything fell before his fury. Lunar's most powerful mage only stopped once he became too fatigued to move. Then he heard it - a distinct, distant crackling noise. A fire.

Then he looked back and saw all the people he had attacked, many of them lying unconscious in the path of the fire, and he came to his senses.

"By Althena... what have I done...?" he asked, for the umpteenth time in the tournament.

Izlude
Izlude - FFO Survivor

Izlude opened his eyes.... once again immersed in darkness... but this time things were different.. he could feel his body.. he was not a part of the darkness.. but inside of it. he also felt something else.. another presence was in the darkness with him..

*tap*
*tap*
*tap*
*tap*

he could here footsteps.. as if something were walking on a wooden floor.. everytime there was as step.. a flash of light was emitted from the ground.. he could make out a figure.. but only from the brief flashes of light that came forth from the ground.. it was...... human.. or so it appeared to be..

Izlude: "h..h..whose there?

The footsteps became louder.. and the figure drew closer..

Izlude: "TALK TO ME!!!.. OR I'LL BE FORCED TO...."

at that instant.. Izlude's spear began to glow and was ripped from his hand.. the spear hovered in front of him

figure: "you dare strike the omega?"

Izlude: "wha...?"

figure: "I am Vante, eternal and omega of the high council"

Izlude: "cut to the chase.. why am I here?"

Vante: "Because I summoned you... I do have the ability to control you you know.."

Izlude: "what?.. how?...why?"

Vante: "once upon a time.. a man made a trip from the heavens... but his trip was cut short as he was caught in a web of darkness.. my web to be exact"

Vante: "I decided to let the man think he had all the power.. when indeed... he was under my control and my protection.. i gave that man his wish.. and returned him to his home... only.. there was a little twist... home was not home for that man.. and thus he no longer had a home.. so he waundered..."

Vante: "he became desperate.. did things that he was not proud of.. thus, increasing my power over this man.. so.. when the time was ripe.. i summoned the man.. making him beleive that it was his own "will" that brought him here"

Izlude: "this man you speak of... thats me isn't it?"

Vante: "yes Izlude.. that is you.. i caught you.. spared your life several times.. now i have a hold in your soul and i am not letting you go.. you owe me Izlude, you are my servant"

Izlude: "I AM NO SERVANT OF DARKNESS!!!

Vante: "I'm afraid you dont have a choice... remember that incident yesterday with your spear.. that was all me.. and i can do it again... in fact.. i can do much worse.."

Vante: "you are my servant Izlude.... you are my poor dammed servant"

Izlude: "damned?"

Vante: "yes... damned.. oh.. you still wish to return to your sister in the afterlife? ....well I have news for you... when you die, your soul will plunge into eternal misery... so forget that you want to die a warriors death.. it will do you no good"

no........

Izlude: "NOOO!!"

Izlude tried to stand up and strike at vante.. but it was no use

Vante: "SUBMIT YOU FOOL!!! ..I am your master"

Izlude: "why... do you need me.. such power... should... be... fine... on..... its .......own"

Vante: "because i can use you unoticed... I... am not well liked amoung my comrades"

Izlude: "and why do you want to use me?"

Vante: "to create more chaos of course.... one can do so much damage from within this tournament.. you see.. the rule is.. people are returned to their world when they are weak.. but what happens if one were to die here?"

Vante: "what happens if a god.. or goddess, hero or heroine of another world were to be destroyed in this one before their time of need"

Izlude: " like Ramza... If he were killed.. our world would have been destroyed"

Vante: "exactly... utter chaos.... as my servant.. you are to promote that chaos.... while i sit behind the curtains so to say"

Vante: "I will control your body if you are disobedient... kill.. or i shall kill you.. and send you straight to hell.. you are at my mercy.. so dont disapoint me Izlude"

Izlude: "ugh.... I have no choice"

Vante: "oh.... and by the way... should you try and reveal anything with your words... i have taken your speech from you.. a good servant should obey his master without complaints"

what?... I.....I...I cant SPEAK!!"

Vante: "and Izlude... I can read your every thought as well... return now to the tournament.. and carry out your masters will"

.......................................

Izlude was thrown from the void back into the tournament... there was a feirce glow in his eyes, and a strange aura covered his entire body

OOC: here we go people... Izlude is back and extremely dangerous, he cannot speak so conversation with him will be useless, gods and goddesses might want to steer clear of Izlude because he is apt to kill any important characters he may run into. oh and one more think.. his affects CANNOT be reversed.. and he CANNOT be contained by any magical force (i'm looking your way lucia) so dont try to stop him.. just stay out of his path. oh... and have a nice day! ..hehe..

Yay, anime sweatdrops again!

Karsh felt a heat behind him. A powerful.. hot.. heat.

Turning, he gulped. "Uh... Tseng... "

Tseng answered impatiently. "Yeah?"

"You might wanna...run..."

Picking up the pace, the two of them streaked (ed: not in the Izlude and Ronfar sense) away from the bushfire that was enveloping the Veldt. Karsh noticed a figure lying on the grass. Not enough time to save him...

One vote to Randi.

Loki the rice krispie


===

Loki-salamadar snorted.
Women. Never satisfied.

He tossed his amphibian head slightly to motion for her to get on his back, because it would certainly be far more difficult to do so once he was in draconian form. Of course, he could not vocally communicate this idea to the goddess in his present state, but he hoped she would get the message instead of wasting time.

The Valkyrie watched him in hesitation, then climbed on.

Well, at least THAT didn't take too long.

Skin and bones contorted again for the shift back to the lavendar-jet dragon that had been present at the wedding party - with slight internal adjustments so that he would not accidentally set more of the island on fire. Pity, though; it would have been fun - but a little dangerous with Lenneth on his back. Not to mention she would probably knock his head if he did so.

So much for that.

Loki-dragon spread and pumped his expansive black wings, taking to the air, stirring the flames higher for but a moment.

===

La. ^^;

Wow, Exeter-san XD That sounds .... exciting! ^_^ Congrats! +D Ha ha, I'm sure you're better than I will be on the road +DDD

All-purpose Magical-girl!

*sniff* I'm feeling sort of sorry for the Magic Emperor...

And let's just do this formula to help make everything okay: Doomgaze is now undead, Marle has discovered the power of cure, and everyone else is sort of scrambling to either kill doomgaze or stop the fire...

--------

Mizuki looked about... // I have to do something... //

But she had no ice powers, no ability to heal...

Pretty much everyone around her were making themselves useful...

// I... hate this! //

Feeling stumped, and frustrated... she drew up a huge orb of energy and just aimed it at Doomgaze... and to her surprise, the pure energy blasts which she specialized in... increased the magnitude of Marle's magic!

Doomgaze screamed an unearthly scream, sounding loudly through the whole Veldt.... and sent out a breath of cold, cool, DOOM...

-------

Watch out! Anybody who thinks their level is a multiple of five! For it has casted... LEVEL 5 DOOM!

The Honour And The Road

OOC: Very minor VP spoilers.

The two Einherjar were running hard in the direction that the shout had come from, only stopping to deal with the monsters that were growing thicker and thicker around the area in response to some unseen call. Finally they saw what was assumed to be the source of the call, a group of people who all looked ready to call Artolian blood-feud on each other.

"That... must be them..." Jun panted out, coming to a halt. "So is there anything we can do... to end this senseless conflict?"

No response. The samurai looked to his side; Arngrim was standing stock still, his expression frozen in a look of fear and his eyes glazed. Jun had never seen anyone look that bad before, much less the fearless mercenary.

"Hey, Arngrim, are you okay?"

***

The darkness surrounded him, enveloped him, left him abandoned in a endless wasteland of nothingness without sight, without smell, without touch. In the far distance he could hear the slow, ponderous beating of a heart so vast it defied all imagination, overwhelming his body in a pulsating rhythm of chaos. Faint flickers of violet light haunted the edges of what he still thought of his vision, carrying memories and events beyond comprehension into his mind.

"I don't like having to do this to you," a voice said out of the void, "but the energies being wrought here aren't enough for our purposes. We created this tournament for conflict and chaos, and what do you people do? You go to a wedding!" The mental voice was apologetic, but irresistable.

Who are you? What are you doing to me? Arngrim 'shouted', assured even in his fear that the entity could hear his cries. The purple lights were echoing with the stranger's voice, resonating with his every word.

"I am, shall we say, just a messenger, but I am also seeking a way to return home, just as you are. And this is called possession - I'm sure you're familiar with it after your experiences with the vampire lord Brahms."

Arngrim's 'blood' froze. He hadn't told anyone, not even his brother Roland, about what the demon lord had done to him, what he had bargained in return for his brother's life. He still remembered the games, the chaos, the joy of knowledge and the pain of its meaning. And in this place, memories were boiling up that even he hadn't dared to face before - the city of Dipan, the black-clad Valkyrie, and the things he had done in the service of the gods before.

"You'll make an excellent vessel for this purpose, Arngrim - you are strong, highly skilled, and possess a demonic strength within you from the taint that Brahms left upon your soul." The voice paused to consider something. "Too, the paths within your mind which were forced open once before are easier for one such as I to travel."

Arngrim couldn't even think now. The fear, pain and memories were blocking everything out.

"I even believe you said," the voice continued, "that you swore upon your sword that you and your friends would be remembered." The voice laughed faintly. "Trust me on this, you at least will be."

The darkness took him. He was falling... falling so very far...


***

"Arngrim?"

The mercenary's face and posture return to normal, although there was something about his eyes that still didn't seem right. He turned to the samurai, grinning at him.

"Sure, sure, what could be wrong?"

"Uh, nothing..." Jun stammered in reply.

"Not good. Because not enough is wrong, in this tournament where people should be fighting to the death. The mercenary clenched his broadsword in both hands and looked over the fields at the growing inferno. "Let's make things more interesting."


---

OOC: For those of you who didn't figure it out, Arngrim is now being possessed by Keir. My creative juices are running dry - I know I'm not gonna survive the round, so do what ever you like with Arngrim as long as it's chaotic.

Vampire with a soul

As Lucia flew over the field, she did notice an increase in the temperature below. When she looked down, she noticed various people trying to fight off the flames, which had apparently started all over the veldt again. As she looked down, she noticed her old friend Marle down below, and from the sky, put one of her energy force fields around her. Just in time too, for a burst of flame had gone shooting her way, only to bounce harmlessly off Lucia's shield.

Then, the goddess looked towards the heavens, and summoned forth the weather. 5 minutes later, and several dark clouds had gathered over the veldt. For some strange reason however, they refused to rain.

Lucia had no time to spare on the clouds, however, as she'd felt a rush of destructive power from Ghaleon. Knowing he might have hurt somebody, she hurried on.

"Did you feel that Nall?"

"Yes, I did, we need to hurry!"

Dragon and Goddess continued to home in on the wizard.

Maniac Ranma
FFO Survivor : Dias Flac

Dias pulled his new sword again. "Light come forth!" And a beam of blue energy came out to form a blade.

'Damn, I don't think I can take this one on by myself...I just don't have the magic for it...what would Claude do...? Besides lose Rena to me....?' He snapped his fingers.

"Aston, Rena, Marle, Green haired girl who I randomly attacked several days ago!"

Mizuki: I have a name, ya know.

"Cast your spells onto my sword!"

Huh?

Marle smiled "He's right. In the right hands, a sword can be a magical enhancer. I did this with Crono all the time. Sometimes Lucca joined in with me and Crono.

Dias and Aston gaped and stared at Marle who blushed. "Oh, I mean...ughghh...it was just once and all....Oh you know what I mean! Just cast your damn spells on his damn sword you damn dirty minded meanies!" She screamed and prepared her Ice 2 spell.

Dias ran at the monster and was surprised to find Ashton right by him. "Oh, I see you have two cajones afterall."

Ashton frowned. "ummm...are you talking about my two dragons?"

Dias shook his head. "Never mind. C'mon." They leapt into the air, swords at the ready when blasts of magic from the 3 girls hit their weapons, empowering them.

They brought their weapons down into the DoomGaze's side and the sky flashed white....

Representing the home of the infamous Loin, Final Fantasy Apocalypse

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.

Yay! oh, Exeter... its not that bad. >p Even if I failed my first drive test and haven't driven since. ^^ LONG story... I really need to fix that though.

Baka: lol! -->(ed: not in the Izlude and Ronfar sense)

For some reason, I'm thinking of Soundgarden "The Day I Tried to Live" ATM ... o_O...

-------
She held on tightly so as not to be snapped off on take off, and they were suddenly in the air. She was thankful now, that Loki had somehow managed to live, and she hadn't recified that problem earlier.

What was it about him that seemed to be a catalyst for change?

Loki always seemed to be there when change was needed, and here he was again. Perhaps she had misjudged him. He wasn't really inherently evil - he proved that several times over the course of existence, Sleipnir being a prominent reminder of that. Misguided, perhaps.

She looked down, gasping at the amount of fire - and realized two fires had just merged.

Not good.

She saw a rocky plateau area ahead with no brush, but getting there for anyone would be a long run. Many creautres were fleeing the flames haphazardly and contestants were trying to fight it. She knew she ahd to do something.

She spotted Laguna and yelled at him and his group to head there as she and Loki soared along. She saw someone in the grasses perhaps, but ahd no time. She felt a spell wash over them, and saw the beast in the air.

"LOKI!!" she screamed, drawing her sword as it flew through the air. Suddenly the sky went white and she shielded her eyes. When she opened them - it was gone. But the fire raged on.

"Everyone, that way!" she shouted, pointing her sword towards the plateau. If anything, they could all deul it out there until the fire killed itself.

"By the way... Loki, thanks. Thank you for everything."

Rather safe than sorry...

Luna
Silver Star Supreme

Flying high over the burning Veldt, Nall finally spotted Ghaleon standing below him.

He also noticed that the raging wildfire was heading straight for him.

Damn....!

"Lucia! Go help Ghaleon and get him out of there! I'm going to try and fight this blaze!"

Lucia nodded and descended towards Ghaleon.

Swooping low, Nall let fly a stream of icy white dragon breath. The flames began to recede....for the moment.

One R-vote to Ghaleon.
