The Honour And The Road

Well... this certainly was a surprise.

He'd already gotten into fights with several mortals, using the skills of his borrowed body to induce hate and rage into them through combat, but the power inherent in these mortals was almost insignificant compared to the elemental fury that was ravaging the island.

First the fire that had consumed the grass lands, then the water that had risen to quell the fire, then the fury of the sun which that Channel had brought out to deal with that! It was almost as if the nature of these mortals was inherently to create one problem to solve another!

Still, he'd taken Arngrim's body - albeit reluctantly - in order to wreak havok on the people here, and that's just what he'd have to do. Keir watched several people who were being tossed around by the waves end up on the rocky beach of this little islet, moving down towards them. But on getting close to them, he had to laugh at the immense good fortune being thrown his way - it was Karsh, the previous victor of the Tournament!

"So, the great champion returns to us, despite his wish for nothing but a perfect life in his home world!" Keir would have to watch what he was saying - the residual soul in Arngrim's body was affecting him to some degree, making him speak more forcefully and bluntly than he usually did. Although he had to admit, his confidence levels had shot up since donning it. "Tell me, was it really your wish to save Saint, or did you come back for the challenge?"

"Challenge? Are you crazy?" the Acacia Dragoon shouted back at him.

"Oh, come on," Keir said mockingly. "You were a dragoon, Karsh, a proud and mighty warrior, and you're telling that you're perfectly content with your idealistic home and friends? Don't you feel the need for battle within your soul?"

Karsh's almost instinctive response was to deny it, but there was something in the taunt that made him swallow the denial. He'd felt a vitality inside himself during the battles that hadn't been there in months. Was it that there was a part of him he hadn't known need fulfilling until now? Was there something missing from the life and home he'd chosen that he could only find in combat?

"What I feel has nothing to do with it!" Karsh snarled angrily. "I came here to save Saint, to repay my debt to him, and I'm damned if I'll let you stop me! Who the hell are you, anyway?"

Keir unsheathed the runic broadsword from Arngrim's back, the trained reflexes of the body giving him the little skill he did not already possess with such weapons. "Try me, Karsh. You may call me Arngrim, or Keir, it matters little at this point. And you may find that more than your ideal life is not entirely fact and truth."


---

OOC: Well, that's probably screwed Baka's plotline up completely, but hardly anyone else seems to be interested in taking on Keir so I'm having a stab at it. Expect weirdness.

BTW, after reaching a certain level in the Tenchi RPG, characters get the morph ability! Along with new moves and everything! I was sort of disappointed that Mizuki didn't get one (though she really didn't need one... powerful enough on her own @_@), but... now... incredibly OOC due to demi-possession ^-^

--------

"Nani? So I'm not dead... that's amazing. I AM stronger... better... more improved than normal humans. Master was wrong... I'm not a failure! I'm not useless!"

Mizuki had opened her eyes... she was in an aquatic abyss. Everything was cold and blue. But the pain was gone...

// I only felt the pain because I was so determined to be human... there's no need for that now! //

She launched herself with unknown force out of the water, sending off huge ripples. What was this new energy? Whatever was within her gave her a new sense of freedom... she thanked it. There were no other contestants around the area... but she felt a surge of life to the northeast.

Embrace the power!

"W-what!? Who's speaking to me!? Stop speaking to me!"

You're doing this of your own free will...

// I... yes, I understand! I don't have to be afraid of anything anymore! //

She was bathed in a dark shadow... a twirling orb of ribbon-like shadows...

A strange thing had appeared in that young girl's place... a woman, slightly older than Mizuki, with the same long green hair and viridian eyes had appeared. All the yellow in her outfit had turned to midnight black.

In this slightly older body, she seemed to have the same childish amazement at herself... "Wow..."

-------

Yeah, I'm a weirdo. But at least this strange change will help me find excuses to cast more votes

Lenneth landed a distance off form the others, and finally found Laguna. After seeing that he was fine, she took her leave to have some time to think. People seemed interested in something going on near the edge, but she was still a bit apprehensive about how her day had gone.

Loki, for all his insanity, had pointed out some things which were very true - and very relevant. It was the person who ultimately shaped their lives, not someone forcing it to happen. The irony of life was it only existed with death.

All things existed - some just had longer times than others. And that existence was only shaped by one's own hands and actions.

So what was Lenneth going to do with her's?

------
Dinner time. I hope. ^^ I'll be back around 7pm PDT...

FFO Survivor: Ghaleon

MOOORRTALLL KOMBAAAAT!!!

Ghaleon continued to stare in disbelief at his new companion thus possessed by evil forces. His shock was as strong as on that day fifteen years ago... his feeling of betrayal nearly as great.

"Izlude! Please! We are your allies! Do not do this!"

Once again, only silence met his entreaties. Ghaleon and Ronfar shared a glance, their differences forgotten. They hated what they had to do, but they both knew what it was. Battle-cries resounding, they charged.

Izlude calmly raised his spear and deflected Ghaleon's charge, though he received a glancing blow from Ronfar. Ghaleon's amethyst blade was knocked aside from the force of the collision and the mage fell backward. Izlude stretched out a hand and the blade flew into his grip.

Remain calm, Ghaleon. Focus. You are stronger than he is.

Such empty thoughts they were, though, and Ghaleon knew it. Sighing, he raised his hands and initiated the same cascade of energy he had used to keep the Time Devourer at bay. Izlude staggered under the assault but did not fall. He threw another of his demon-possessed spears at Ronfar, who narrowly avoided it by throwing himself back against the Black Dragon. Ronfar beset upon Izlude with his mace, as Ghaleon continued the barrage, but the dark warrior held strong.

Ghaleon grimaced. This would not be easy, in so many ways...

-----------

One ATTACK vote against Izlude!

Take it home, Daigohji!

Oh, crap. I have to eat. Make another post, Daig, and I'll finish the scenario when I can... DANG it!

Um.....

OOC: Sylphid!!! Where were you when we needed you to cast vanish/doom??!!! ^__^
--------
Ugh...flames...blackness...dizzy...fire...'What...happened?' She shakily got to her feet. She remembered being engulfed in fire and trapped...but she wasn't trapped anymore. She was in a safe area...but how? She suddenly remembered.

"Dias!" She scrambled to her feet. He was nowhere in sight. He had saved her...and he was nowhere to be found. No...Dias...but she was distracted by the rushing water around her.

"What the--?" 'Oh. My. God.' a HUGE tidal wave was coming towards her. It seemed that the tides had turned (no pun intended ^_^). There was no longer fire, but a flash flood! But, like God sending her a ray of hope, in front of her sttod a huge hill. It was made of ice, obviously a few mages had teamed up to create it. Whateve the case, Rena started to climb up it. She needed to save herself. As for Dias...well, she hoped she would find him somwhere...

The Chrono Trigger

As Sky, Haze's trust worthy hawk, carried Ryudo across the field, Ryudo could hear some strange grumblings from Sky's stomache. Sky strained and several piles of 'poo' dropped to the field below and all the others below them who flew for escape... one landing on a very notable ice hill.

votes to...

Laguna,
Jun,
Lenneth,
and Rena.

Desperado

Vincent, sopping wet, finally spotted someone, but it wasn't Tseng or Dias. Rena was trying to wade through the water to escape the coming wave, but wasn't making much progress. Vincent cast another Freeze spell and ran out to her, helping her onto the makeshift road.

"You all right?"

Rena nodded. "Have you seen Dias?"

"He was floating in this direction. Don't worry, Tseng should be with him, wherever they are."

*****

Haze, that was disgusting. Good job.

Edit: All fixed. Don't I just have all the luck...

Plan? What plan? I'm making this up as I go along!

-----

Keir. So... the host joins the fight now? There's definitely more going on than I expected...

Echoing his thoughts...

"Keir? You and Ayin are taking over people's bodies now? Well, you know something? I kinda expected it."

Tossing his axe into the air, he grinned, as he caught it again with one hand. "You may be an Eternal, Keir, but you're limited by the body you inhabit. Regardless of yourself, I've learned enough to know that the shell's gonna slow you down!"

Lauching himself into the air, he swung his axe around in a long sweep - to connect with empty space. As he looked around in shock, the giant rune-sword smacked into his back, throwing him forward.

"That one was with the flat of the blade, Karsh. A warning shot. Do you really want to tangle with a god?"
Karsh picked himself up off the floor and snarled. "Keir, I could have been a god!" Swinging his axe around in a feint attack, he shot a stream of fire from an element in his one hand, engulfing Arngrim. "First rule of warfare, eternal. Don't underestimate your opponent!"

Both combatants backed off slowly, circling. Finally, Keir lowered Arngrim's weapon. "You have a point, Karsh. Maybe you do still have the power to fight me one-on-one in this form. But it doesn't matter. Kill this shell... and I'll find another one. There are still quite a few fools left in this tournament - and the more you fight me, the more will die. Do you really want that on your head?"

He raised the sword suddenly, and jumped forward, missing Karsh by inches, as he dropped to the floor and kicked Keir's legs out from under him. "You never stop, do you? I don't think I've ever met someone who like the sound of their own voice so much!"

Springing to his feet, he swing the Rainbow Axe in an overhead strike, but stopped it an inch from Arngrim's chest.

"You're right. I'm not going to kill this form. And I guess that puts me at a disadvantage. But I've fought posession before. I've fought the evil within myself, and I came out on top. I've seen it before! Don't you think it's getting a bit old?"

He backed off slowly, looking Arngrim in the eyes. There's something there.. behind his eyes. That's Keir. That's what I have to aim for.. not Arngrim... the spirit within...

-----

Oo. Spot the movie reference there? :P

I've missed Karsh, ya know
