Chapter 3: Evacuation

Ayin dropped the tool he was using, and looked up from his work. Was that... an explosion? He shrugged, and then continued tinkering with the machine he was building.

Fifteen minutes later, another explosion rocked the building he was in. Shoot! That one was closer! What's going on out there!? Ayin threw down the screwdriver, went over to the blinds, and opened them up.

Complete devestation surrounded the building he was in. Most of the psuedo-Esthar was covered with massive craters, some the size of city blocks. "What... what has been going on!?" Ayin exclaimed.

Just then, Keir burst in through the door, panting. "Ayin... drunken lunatics... self-destruct... teleported already..."

"Slow down, Keir, and tell me what's wrong! What has been going on?" Ayin asked with a concerned look on his face.

Keir finally caught his breath. "Well, you see, Tingle and Ronfar, in a bout of drunken lunacy, managed to find a sequential self-destruct device for the city and set it off. I already teleported everyone to safety though..." He sat down in a chair, exausted.

"Hmm... I really thought that that Ghaleon fellow would have tamed their wild instincts, but I underestimated their stupidity... How long until we have to go?"

"About seven minutes..."

"Then we had better go." Picking up the device, Ayin looked around. "Are we forgetting anything?"

Keir held up a set of feminine robes. "Perhaps you should put on these..."

Ayin snatched them from Keir's hand, an angry look in his shell's eyes. "What are you snickering about? You didn't want the device to get destroyed by static electricity, did you?"

Keir smirked. "Oh, no, wouldn't want that. Please, feel free to take off your robes at any time." He disappeared, his laughter echoing in the room.

"Bastard," Ayin remarked, just before performing his own teleport.

Round 3: You have been teleported onto a small island, outside of a massive white temple that rises high into the sky. Six giagantic carved dragons sit outside the temple, as if to guard it. Inside, a multitude of creatures and golems seek to destroy intruders, and mazes twisted enough to confound the human mind lie within. The higher levels may be safer, but you'll have to solve puzzles and fight incredibly powerful beasts to get there. Above the temple floats a small spherical building, but it's anyone's guess as to how to get up there. Welcome, my friends, to Fort Dragonia. You'll be here until 11:59 PM MDT on Tuesday.

Note: A young man with blue hair and a twin-bladed weapon has been sighted around here. He's probably a native, so please don't harm him. Thank you.

And now, for some sad news: the special media is dead. What it was going to be was a big new website for FFO Survivor, with vote summaries and individual character pages. The works. That's why I wanted the pics and descriptions. But alas, it proved to be too much work in the midst of everything else in my life, so I will have to put the idea on hiatus. Sorry.

Sephiroth walks out from some foliage, he sees a white temple in front of him...

"A temple.... maybe it contains knowledge unknown to the Antients...i must see" Sephiroth wonders. He runs towards the entrance and enters Fort Dragonia...

Desperado

This is what I get for hanging around with you people. I don't think I'll ever sleep again...

*****

Vincent studied his new surroundings. The building just ahead of him was almost like the Temple of the Ancients, in some ways, though the dragon-like statues surrounding it were a little disconcerting.

Calmly, the red-cloaked man entered the temple, ready for anything...

*****

I wonder if this human body is capable of sleep anymore? Maybe it's time to find a new host...

0!?!?!? NOTHING!?!?!? Whoa...

I think this is the first time, in ANY round, in ANY tournament where my character hasn't received a vote. Yowza! Of course, calling attention to this fact may get me several votes this round...heheh, let's hope not ;P.

Well, good luck in this round all, I played enough into Chrono Cross to know this area...before the game bored me to tears...but that's another story.

EDIT: Whoohoo! My 56th post with this user name!...wait...nevermind...};-]

Silver Star Supreme

All right, here we go, round three. Krizak, I'm now a sidekick, the identity of my character shall be revealed in this post. Anyway, read on for Luna's goodbye.

----------------------------------

As the city crumbled around the group, a bright light flashed. As soon as it had happened, it had gone, and there were five sparkles where they had stood. Three flew off in the same direction, while the other two flew off in separate directions.

-----------------

Bright light....the sound of water.....warm ground beneath me....where am I?

Luna awoke slowly, her eyes blurry and her head buzzing from the effects of the warp.

However, her vision instantly cleared as she realized where she was.

Burg Springs.

With a sharp cry, she sprang to her feet, her eyes wide and unbelieving.

"I'm back! But....how? Oh, who cares?! All that matters is that I'm back! Back....to Alex!" Her mouth curving in a wide grin, she began running, feeling as full of energy as if the past three days had never happened.

Exiting the springs, Luna rushed past the stunned villagers of Burg. Past the shops and the Goddess statue, all the way to where she instinctively knew Alex would be.

Dyne's monument.

"Alex!"

Standing silent and despairing at the monument, Alex felt his heart stop as he heard the sweet, melodic voice he'd begun to fear he'd never hear again.

"LUNA!"

The two rushed towards each other, embracing tightly, neither wanting to ever let go.

"Oh, Alex....Alex...."

"Luna....oh, Luna....I never thought I'd see you again." Alex hugged Luna tighter. "Where were you? What happened? You had us all so worried...."

"I....it's a long story," Luna replied, fresh tears soaking Alex's shirt as she remembered her encounters with Ghaleon and Lucia. "Some of it I don't even understand myself...." She trembled with the full force of the repressed emotion that had been building within her since this whole, crazy thing started, and tightened her grip on Alex.

"Shhh....it's all right." Alex stroked Luna's hair comfortingly. "You don't have to talk about it right away. For now, let's just get you home so you can rest."

"Yes, that would be wonderful." Luna sighed against his shoulder. "By the way, where's Nall? I could really use one of his smart-aleck comments right now....it'd help reassure me that I really am home."

"Uh....I have no idea, actually."

"What?" Luna pulled back from their embrace, stunned. "But he....you....I've never seen the two of you apart, at least not for very long."

Alex looked uneasy. "Well....he flew off a while ago, saying that he was going to find you, and that it'd be safer if he went alone....that was hours ago, and he's still not back yet. I'm sure he will be soon, though."

A sharp, icy feeling of intuition crawled down Luna's spine as her stomach twisted into painful knots. No.....he won't.

---------------------------------

Yup, that's right, I've chosen to be Nall, Ex-Type Noble. Things just got a little more interesting for the other Lunar characters.

OOC: This might be slightly picky, Krizak, but *very slight CC spoilers* when are we arriving in the Fort in relation to the CC plot, and is this Fort Dragonia HOME or Fort Dragonia ANOTHER? The two were slightly different, as I recall. *end spoilers*

Who's Tingle, anyway?

Bang.

All right, Fort Draconia! ^_^

TranceGredge - Personally, it's because Sephiroth really reminds me of a person named Mary Sue. ^_- Very familar, both of them.

Hey, maybe I can switch my character into Rei, from Evangelion: Girlfriend of Steel, and turn everyone into orange goop! HAHA! HAHAHAHAAA!!!

*coughs*


Clive applied the mediciene he had aquired earlier on his still sore leg, and looked at the floating fortress intently. Were there dragons waiting in there? Shaking his head, he picked up his bag and headed towards the entrance, glancing about for signs of life. The place was as quiet as a tomb; he doubt if it would stay that way for long.

.: Do : all : roads : lead : to : heaven : ? :.

The body is but a vessel for the soul,
A puppet which bends to the soul's tyranny.
And lo, the body is not eternal,
For it must feed on the flesh of others,
Lest it returns to the dust from whence it came.
Therefore must the soul
Deceive, dispise, and murder men.
A. J. Durai

The Chrono Trigger

Round Three: Unwanted memories...

A bright light engulfed Ryudo and all was silent once again. These instant changes of location confused and annoyed Ryudo as each time, they left him with a mind-numbing headache. As the white light began to fade, he found himself face down on a richly carved, dust-covered stone floor in a long corridor. He felt a little uncomfortable... his vision was blurred and he didn't know whether or not Sky was anywhere nearby. There was no natural light lighting the hall... nor unnatural light either for that matter. Mysterious blue orbs that seemed neither man made nor natural floated above torch placements on the upper walls of the stone temple. Ryudo pushed himself from his chest and spun onto his back to stare at the roof. He wasn't yet strong enough to get up as these 'fluxuations' in time and space tended to leave him drained. As he stared up at the roof, some of his hair hung over obscuring his view. He wipped the brown locks away and let his arm drop just above his head. At this moment, Ryudo was the laziness incarnate.

He rolled his head from left to right looking around him, but nothing. The emptyness of the whole place was very unsettling to say the very least. As he turned to the right, a design on the wall caught his eye... a strange symbol... no, a series of strange symbols. Ryudo peeled himself from the ground and pushed himself to his feet. He looked himself over, brushed some dust from his sleeves and straightened his bandana that hung down on his chest. He stepped over to the wall, only a few feet away, but he had some troubles with his balance. Upon reaching the wall, he began to try and understand its message.

He dragged his hand along the walls as he walked along attempting to understand. The symbols of Dragons engulfed in flames, frozen in ice then washed away by water, swallowed up by the cold earth, blown by the gusts of the unforgiven winds and damned by the darkness from within the soul, the mystery of the symbols intrigued Ryudo...

"What is all this...?" He thought to himself as he examined the wall with eyes sparkling with curiosity. But, just then, as if reality had smacked him in the head with a hammer, he realized that Sky was missing and so was that lady from before... that 'Marle.'

Ryudo backed away from the wall, his gaze still fixed on the symbols, he began to walk deeper into the corridor.

Suddenly, a voice, as if coming from behind him, began to whisper incomprehensible words, pointless jargan. He turned around, but nobody was there. When he turned back to face foward, there stood a silhouette, backlit by the strange, pulsing blue lights. The figure grew closer slowly, but seemed to be more curious than hostile.

"W-Who are you?!" Ryudo managed to choke out as he took a step back reaching for the hilt of his sword. The figure stopped then began to speak.

"I am here to search out the truth, but my identity is of no use to you." The man was obviously confident of not being harmed and he began to get closer. "Don't flatter yourself, my dealings are not with you, but with a man named Lynx. Have you seen anyone by that name?" The young man asked, almost whispering. Subtlety was this guys game. Ryudo shook his head and loosened his grip on his sword.

"Then I will be on my way..." the figure said as he stepped toward Ryudo and passed him without a look. Ryudp did not mistake him for a cold hearted person, but he didn't feel right... something was strange with that guy. As he passed Ryudo, he saw some strange features in the young man... Ocean blue eyes, dark blue hair hanging out out of a bandana tied around his head. He wore a light Chain-mail vest overtop a tight black shirt as well as long blue shorts with designs similar to those found on the walls and the guy was about as tall as Ryudo, but he had a slightly bigger build.

Ryudo wondered to himself whether the man was a local, but he didn't wish to disturb him further. The stranger dissapeared into the darkness of the corridor and Ryudo turned back forward and fixed his gaze on the light at the end of the hallway. Ryudo had more important fish to fry.


-------------------------------------

OOC: Heh, I couldn't resist... I had to write something with Serge I was gonna die! He's by far the coolest character and my fave and he's been so since I first played the game... I've never been in a FFO tourney without him 'till now... ah... *feels nostalgic*

Oh and Chrono Cross is one of the best RPG's in existance. It is definetly worth getting.

Also, I belive this is the Fort Dragonia from The Home World... that's the one where all the interesting things happen and it is slightly different.

Sephiroth came across a block of floating stone that was moving across a great cravass... was this magic? A few rocks fell from above and went right through the flying block and seemed to land as if there was a set of invisible steps... it was either go down them, or go up the vines... Sephiroth began his decent, although not using the invisible steps... that would be foolish!

Damn, I had trouble writing last round and I knew Esthar! But living in the crappy UK I haven't even been able to play CC, thus I know nothing about Fort Dragonia....O_o

But I'll be back! I'll be more active this round! ^_^
