round three, fight!

Freya was dazed, confused, and glad to be alive

This is insane. It takes a real madman to make a dragoon afraid of heights...

The last thing that she remembered was plumeting toward the burning city, tangled in a parachute with a suicidal drunk, but now she found herself lying in a dim stone hallway. It was open at the top, but still hidden from the sun by a huge circular room. The idiot was still there, mumbling and whining in a blissfull inebrated slumber. In spite of inclinations to the contrary, Freya decided that she would have to hide him somewhere away from danger. She threw him over her shoulders, and jumped to the top of the wall. In the center of the room there was a large pinacle where he would at least be safe from any earthbound assailant.

At the top, she secured him with the singed remains of the parachute, and set off in search of answers.

"No..." snork... "homsh..." yawn... "stersh." He rolled over and sighed contentedly.

She silently bade the blissfull twit farewell. "Sleep well, and dream of good wine."

Okay, if that's how you want to play it Gredge, fine by me. I haven't had much action this tourney anyway.

Tseng ducked down the passageway as Ashton attacked, bumping into Dias as he did so.

"Dias, I need Serpenttooth."

"Sure Tseng but...who the hell is that?"

Tseng reached inside his jacket and handed Dias a short sword. "Not as good, I'm afraid. But I need this. He...he's something that should never have been bought here. And he's something I'd give another life to end."

Tseng ran outside, leaving Dias alone.

"Another...?"

***

A storm was breaking outside. Thunder rolled, and rain streamed down Tseng's face.

"Sephiroth! You've failed three times! Care to try your luck again?!"

Sephiroth swooped down, hovering above the ground. "Pathetic mortal. How can you hope to overcome me?"

Tseng smiled. "By using the one thing I have that you don't. Death."

Serpenttooth began to glow. Lighting arced down, striking the temple. Shards of white hot stone splashed into the mud, but neither of them looked.

"Death? There is no power in death. I should know, I killed you."

Tseng smiled again, and leapt into the air, hauling Sephiroth with him.

"Wait! What?!" Sephiroth slashed madly with the masamune. Tseng was still smiling when the lightning bolt struck Serpenttooth. Sephiroth screamed in pain as the energy coursed through him, and flew off into the night, trailing smoke.

TSeng fell onto the muddy ground, unmoving.

I think, Arngrim reflected sourly, that I'm beginning to crack up now. If this goes on much longer they'll be calling out the men in the clean white coats to take me away.

In the last half hour or so since he'd been teleported from the ruins of that advanced city, he'd seen so many strange things he was beginning to doubt his own sanity. First there was the flying hamster with the cheeky grin which had shot through the air in front of him. Then there were the three coloured dragons who were circling around the top of the fort, looking at something up there that couldn't be seen from the ground. Then there was that couple who'd taken into their heads to try and get married of all things, in the middle of a battlefield!

And they hadn't even entered the fort at that point. That place was obviously Ground Zero for the events of this round of the tournament, and there didn't seem to be much point in staying outside anyway. Maybe there was something inside that could help them, or at least give them a better idea of what was going on. With a nod to his teammates, the three of them moved into the fort with Zynk taking the lead for a change.

"Sooo... what do we do now?" Arngrim asked, looking around the vast central chamber. He could hear commotion in the distance through at least two of the four other passageways, each marked with a different colour on the floor.

"I suggest we move into that area," the robot replied, waving to the hallway on the left which no sounds of battle were coming from. "We should take the chance to learn more about this fortress before engaging any of the others in battle."

Arngrim was still spoiling for a fight, he'd gotten precious little enough of it so far and was half-tempted to just split off on his own and find some action, working together be damned. "Beowulf?"

The temple knight's head jerked up, evidently he'd been preoccupied with his thoughts. "Uh? Sounds good - we won't be able to avoid the others for much longer, and having the layout of this place first gives us an advantage in battle."

Damn. I don't see how we can be expected to get through this if we don't fight, we'll be seen as weak and picked off somehow. He sighed heavily, waving the way towards the chamber Zynk had chosen with a mocking bow. The three almost immediately came out into another large room, completely filled with a maze with stone walls reaching to well over head height. The three quickly moved into the maze and just as quickly got completely and utterly lost.

"Well," Beowulf remarked after their fifth unsuccessful attempt to find their way out, "that was a good idea. Any ideas on how we get out of this mess?"

Zynk briefly consulted his memory and came up with an answer. "Logically, we should be able to find our way back to the entrance by keeping continually to the left hand wall, unless the walls decide to move."

"And if the walls do move?" Arngrim asked him.

The robot seems lost for the words for the first time Arngrim had known him "I... uh..."

"Great, just great!" the mercenary shouted, throwing his hands up in mock rage. "How am I supposed to work with these fricking idiots?"

Beowulf snickered. "So you have a better idea, O Glorious Leader?"

Arngrim thought quickly. "Actually, yeah. Here, get onto my shoulders." Crouching down briefly to give the man a better chance of getting himself up, he then stood up again and held still while Beowulf - having figured out Arngrim's idea - clambered on top of the maze wall. Zynk quickly did the same, then the two of them each took one of Arngrim's arms and hauled the mercenary up.

The temple knight quickly looked around. "Well, it's certainly easier to see where you should be going, when you look at a maze from above like this. What gave you the idea?"

"Something I've been thinking about for some time now, about this entire tournament," he replied seriously. "If you don't like the rules, do your best not to play by them."

OOC: Okay, I'll admit it, I have absolutely no idea what to do here and that post's probably overly serious in the midst of everyone else's fun-fests. C'mon, Baka, get online! We need you!

Maniac Ranma
FFO Survivor : Dias Flac

Well, Terra and I seem to be online right now, so this is a good time, I suppose. I may not be here tonight.

BTW: Everyone is invited to the wedding.
-----------------------
Dias did the most courageous thing he could in the face of the army of golems...he grabbed Rena up and ran like a mad man.

"Keep up if you can, kid!" He yelled at Leon who also turned to run. Dias flew thru the corridors as fast as he could, his boots skidding as he turned thru the hallways and he ran straight onto a circular platform. The moment he touched the platform he and Rena vanished.....

And reappeared several hundred feet in the sky. "Wha!" Rena coughed and Dias carefully put her down. "I feel like I just went thru the floor here..."

Dias had a similar feeling. "How do we get down?" He asked rhetorically. The only thing he could see was the massive Fort Dragonia far below them and...and the most beautiful sunset he had ever laid eyes on.

"It's...amazing." Said Rena, her eyes transfixed on the red sun which reflected dying light on the two moons of this...this...whatever this place was.

Rena sat down on the ledge and just stared off. "This kinda reminds me of the when we we on the front, fighting the El Demons. That was a beautiful place...it's too bad we had to destroy it."

"It's fine now." Dias said. "When we beat the wise men, it all came back."

Rena frowned. "I know I shouldn't bring this up but...Claude..."

Dias shook his head. "Look, Rena. I know you love him and me...I would never put you in a position where you felt you had to choose me. I know you love me...that's all I need to know to keep going in this tournament."

"That's all I needed to hear, Dias...I love you." And they kissed agian. A minute later they stopped but continued to hold each other in their embrace.

"So, we should work on finding Ronfar, shouldn't we?" Rena said...and of course, that's when the platform began to glow again and several people suddenly materialized in the sky.

Specifically, Marle, Tseng, Leon, A not-so-sober Ronfar, and Ashton.

Dias shrugged. "Well, it's about time this craziness worked for us"
------------------

On the expansive floating platfrom, Ronfar began the ceremony. The center of the platform was avoided since it kept randomly teleporting in people all who wanted to see the wedding. (So don't worry about your character showing up, if you want them here, they are already present.)

Izlude was standing with Ronfar, holding him up since he only barely had the power of speech.

The doors to the small room on the platform opened and Rena came out wearing a wedding dress of white that had randomly been teleported in. Dias stood at the makeshift alter, in front of the sunset wearing a tux. The sword of light was hanging from Tseng's waist as he stood with his new found friend. The winding path to the make shift alter was littered with flowers scattered by Marle who sat in a randomly teleported lawn chair bawling her eyes out.

When Dias finally saw Rena his heart nearly stopped.

What I've learned in Survivor Today:

1)Zidane wears 'Whitey-Tighties'
2)That warm feeling you have isn't nostalgia...it's bloodloss.
3)Everyone loves nekkid, streaking, and violent alchoholics. (Lucky for Ronfar)

Mintaka, take 2. XD

Its funny, how when everything comes down to it, its always the little things you never really worried about that hit home the hardest. Its never the huge things that really matter in the end.

One's existence is simply what they make of it. But what is mine? All I have made mine is is as a goddess choosing the slain. It has noble purpose, but what have I done for myself? Am I even a person? I dare not consider myself human. But if I am not human, what does that make of gods and goddesses? Have we no feeling, emotion, or care? What is our motivation? To follow someone stronger? Certainly even humans follow that prospect.

Do humans mimic gods... or do the gods mimic humans in a vain attempt to 'live'? Certainly a god has just about all the time of eternity to do as they please, yet... many are so stoic. Its almost a bit disheartening to think of the many things I have missed that I see among these people.


She could see the whole shebang though a small peephole in the floor, down to Rena, Dias, and them.

What is life? Certainly I 'live' ... but I have yet to see so much. Blindness seems rampant among the gods. They do not see what the mortal coil is like, or just how much lives are worth. I know, for I have had to take the fallen whose lives were interrupted, the tales of sadness and depsair, of misery, and of tragedy. I have had to take these lives upon my existence and prepare them for battle. Battle for what? The gods!

Do the gods even realize that the einherjar I send have no real care for what happens the gods?! I feel a fool for forcing those people into those battles, but, then what would have happened? Did everything truly come down to my actions?

I feel a bit intimidated that I ultimately brought about everything that came forth, but I could not have done it alone. There would be no way to do it alone, not in all the battles I had to fight.

But what of now? What is my purpose? There is no need to take more slain to Valhalla, no training to be done. What is my purpose now? Have I one?


This troubled her. What made her existence something without purpose? She stood then, and wiped the dampness from her eyes, and drew Levantine. She had to do something. Life or death. There was no turning back. Her existence was at stake.

-------
Heh. >D There's my deep post for the day. Unless I think of more.

Edit: Slipstream!! I just about spit my lunch onto my monitor!

"This tournament is making no sense." Ashton muttered as he found himself alone in the hallway. "Course being dead would leave me out of the loop....or was I dead? We're was I?" The memories were eluding him, but he never was much for philosophy.

"Whatever, the point is I'm here. Okay guys, can you smell the others?" He looked from one dragon to the other. They both looked at him with bored expressions as a blast of magical energy went flying by to hit the wall beyond Ashton.

"Holy....!" Ashton ducked as rocks went spewing everywhere. "I hate this place already!" Suddenly a thought occurred to him.
"Hey you two....was that one of Leon's spells?"

Bored expressions x 2 = duh!

"Alright! It's about time I found Rena and the rest!"

Tseng looked around wildly...and smiled. Of course, in this tournament, death could never be permanent. He looked over to his friend. Despite all the evils in this tournament, love could still triumph. Tseng would have been sickened by the cliché at any other time, but here and now, he smiled.

Sephiroth-FFO Survivor

Sephiroth smiles as he looks out a smouldering hole in the wall. The clone he had created had served him well, now there was two Sephiroth's wondering round. But his intentions were on Laguna. Sephiroth teleported to Laguna's side. Laguna looked shocked as Selphie crouched beside him.

"Selphie? Where did you come from?" Laguna asked.

"Sephiroth sent me to give you a message Sir Laguna..." Selphie replied.

"A message?" Laguna inquired.

"Yes...." Selphie cast Darkness on Laguna blinding him. Then she choked him unconcious with her nun chucks (thats what they're called right?). As Laguna fell to the ground, Sephiroth flew off.

"This is hopeless!" Marle cried. "We're completely lost everything looks the same!" The two had been walking for hours, taking turns at familiar corners, hearing nothing but Marle's foot steps. The temple was a complete maze.

"Look there!" Said Sky. A small crack of light shone on the floor down the corridor. Marle ran up to it's source. Part of the wall had crumbled away and sunlight shone through the hole.

"Hey... You can see outside from here! Wow! We're high up!" Marle gawked. "We must have gone a lot higher then we thought..." She squeezed her head through the hole. "I wonder if anyone is- AAAGH!!" She flipped backwards into the wall.

"What is it?!"

"Dr-dr-dragons!!" Marle stuttered. Sky looked through crack. Sure enough, several Dragons were circling by.

"Something is going on there..." His hawk vision targeted a squirmish of people in contact with the dragon creatures.

"Wh-what?" Marle peered over, "Maybe... LUCIA!!!! CELES!! VIVI!!! SOMEBODY!!!!" She sighed, "Nobody will hear me from here..." Her eyes wandered over to Sky, "Sky... Do you think you could maybe find them?"

"You want me to fly into a bunch of Dragons to find people that I've never seen before?"

"Oh, please Sky...! Pretty please?" Marle blinked innocently.

"hmm..." Sky thought for a moment, "All right..."

"Thank you!" She hugged the bird. "Ok, well Celes has blonde hair... and a sword... umm...Lucia has blue hair and a pendant.. uhh, Vivi is a little guy with a funny hat about, yey high," She said putting her hand a few feet off the ground. "I know you can do it! I'll wait here!"

With what little imformation he had Sky took off in search of the lost team-mates.

Marle sat against wall within the light. 'Please hurry back...' she thought, Sky was taking a risk and she didn't want to live witht he guilt of losing Ryudo's bird. "ah.. what's this...?" Marle clutched her pendant. It was glowing... reacting to something... but what could it be? She was dying to find out the source... but she had to wait. "Hurry Sky! Please!"

Vampire with a soul

OOC: Theme Music: Lucia vs. Zophar. Play it on my signal Also note all bold print can be heard by everyone. Yes, everyone! Italics can also be heard by everyone, but it's not a big booming voice like bold is. It's more a normal voice that speaks to everyone individually.
Chrono Cross Spoilers:



The 6 dragons had gathered before Lucia at last.

"Permit us time to come together, Mistress of Creation. We will be better able to serve you then."

Meanwhile, in Chronopolis...

FATE was just a tad pissed off that the 6 dragons were in the same dimension, even more so that they'd been summoned there, and that they were about to fuse takes the cake. So FATE gave its orders.

"Deploy all military personel! The Dragons are fusing! Repeat, the Dragons are fusing! Launch initial military assault!"

And FATE's cyborg army sped toward the about to fuse Dragons.

Meanwhile, the Sky Dragon was out in front. The Dragons then started to fuse (just like the CC FMV). The Green Dragon bit down on the Sky Dragon's back, and his 4 brothers followed. The now reborn Time Devourer looked at Lucia. She could sense the malice it felt towards all humanity, but had yet to figure out why this malice existed. She was also shocked that the Dragons here could apparently combine themselves into one being.

OOC:Play Lucia vs. Zophar here!

Lucia, once again floating up into the sky before the Time Devourer, encased in her glowing blue sphere.

The Time Devourer, now reborn, stated, "We thank you, Mistress of Creation, for granting us the ability to purge the humans from this world. Nature will be reborn, and we owe it all to you."

Lucia was shocked. "Why? State your case! What have the humans done, exactly?"

The Devourer of Time replied, in sequence:

The initial white element said, "They are at war with the planet, and with nature itself."

The yellow element declared, "They have abused the earth, and all it has to give."

The red element stated, "They have abused the flames, using them to kill and destroy, rather than to warm."

The green element yelled, "The way they have treated the forests is deplorable! They cut them down, and never bother to plant any more trees! Many species, like the hydra, have gone extinct."

The blue element spoke, "They take and take from the oceans, with no regard for the life within them, nor for the life they got from it."

The black element growled, "They have declared the shadows evil, blaming on darkness what they do not understand!"

The last, white element concluded, "For these offenses, and more, we shall purge them from this earth!"

Lucia didn't quite know what to say. She didn't sense any of the dragons lying. Also, Zophar's voice echoed in her mind, "Before you bet on them, remember...it was that same power of humanity that revived ME!"

The Devourer of Time, convinced it had made its case, went to launch an attack on the humans in the fortress. It was just about to swan dive down in its attack when...

"Althena's light, shine forth!"

The Time Devourer's attack stopped abruptly as it ran into Lucia's energy.

"You are siding with them? Why?"

"It is not right to slay them all because a few make mistakes."

Lucia's power was holding, for now, but she couldn't keep it up forever.

"The power of humanity must rise up to confront this threat...please, help me..."

Meanwhile, the Chronopolis Forces arrived...

Mintaka
Goddess of Hamsters

Valkyrie had turned the corner and saw the attack on her teammate and snarled. The last time she ahd been so angry-

The knuckles on her right hand turned white with the tenseness of her grip on Levantine and sne felt the power stir in her as her armor took form and her wings appeared. She launched into the air so fast that two feathers fell on Laguna, restoring him.

"You are no God!" she screamed as her blade struck the silver-haired man.

"It shall be Engraved upon thy soul!!" She continued striking, Levantine's black blade drinking the blood as her armor was splattered and covered.

"Divine Assualt!"

A few more slashes, some blood on her face now.

She hit in into the air, and he was struck with three etheral spears of holy power. She landed, and then alunched herself into the air, forming a spear of divine energy.

"NIBELUNG VALESTI!"

She aimed, and launched it, striking him through the chest and pinning him against a wall. The engery condensed around him, a blinding light so pure he certainly had to be in pain - NO ONE had withstood its power, not even a god. It exploded, cracking the walls and shaking the building.

She collected Laguina, looked at the limp form on the floor, barely breathing, and teleported out. She reappeared somewhere near the wedding holding Laguna in her arms and splattered in blood. She saw Izlude - that drunk from last night - at the door. "What's going on?" she asked, setting Laguna down.
