AAACK! How did I forget this started today?! Well, at least I got here before too much had gone on. ^^;;; Let's try out some special abilities....

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

Wandering around Balamb Garden was an....interesting experience, to say the least. The very least. Besides being technologically advanced beyond anything she'd ever seen, the academic atmosphere made Lemina think that it was something like an alternate-reality Vane.

Perhaps this is what Vane is in the future? What it could be if I win this? Wait, no, what am I saying? I WILL win this, no matter what. Let's rephrase: it's what I might turn Vane into when I win this. Ah, so many possibilities....

Smiling idly to herself as her crafty mind twisted and turned around many possible additions and improvements to the Magic City, she scarcely realized that she had collided with someone, a man clad in bright garments with a painted face. As she recoiled in both shock and revulsion, he spoke harshly to her.

"Watch it! Don't do that again, or I'll fry you with the Light of Judgment!"

"WHAT?!" Lemina bristled at his words and tone. "No one, and I mean NO ONE, talks to me, the beautiful sorcery genius and Premier of the Magic Guild like that and lives to tell about it! Darkness beyond twi-- oh, wait, that's not right!"

"Hee hee hee!" The clownish man started laughing. "How pitiful!"

"You shut up!" Lemina shrieked. "Mega Magic FLAME!" Aiming her staff at him, she unleashed her fiery rage on him....literally. Small pillars of flame erupted from the ground in a circle around him, while a vermilion column roared down on him from above. His howls of pain were lost in the crackling fires of the Guild leader's wrath. A look of grim satisfaction shone in her emerald eyes -- along with the reflection of the flames -- as she watched him writh in pain.

"That'll teach you to mess with me," she declared with a smirk as she stalked off. Not noticing that two others had been caught in the fiery blast of her Pyro Pillar spell.

2 P-Votes used in a Slash-All against Kefka, Lenna, and Siegfried, casting 1 A-Vote against each of them.

Faster...faster...where the heck am I going?

Coming to a rather dizzying stop, I find myself in the middle of a hallway I don't recognize. Three people stand there, turning to face me.

...No...

"Got any money?" One leered.

"Not anything you could use," I answered (which might actually be true).

"Hand it over anyways, missy, and you won't get hurt," he replied, smirking and taking a step towards me. Pretty full of himself.

"I don't think so," I stated firmly. He stopped.

"What was that?"

"I said, 'no.' Is there something difficult to understand about that?"

Narowing his eyes, he suddenly lunged towards me, sword out. I was stabbed in the gut, and blood stained my purple robes slightly.

Summoning up my strength, I shoved him out of the way and roughly stabbed him in gut with my cane.

"Ow!"

Another man, clad in a red cape, stepped in front of me.

"I'm afraid that I cannot let you pass."

The other figure steps beside him, obviously ganging up in order to take me out. The one that failed to hit me before was also now on his feet, on the opposite side of me.

"Give it up and we won't hurt you too bad," the third one, obviously the nicer of the three, told me. I clutched my side, wincing slightly, but trying not to let it show.

Now what?

I took my Dragon Cane and put it in both hands. They all raised their defense, pointing weapons at me. Then...

...I dropped it.

They all lowered their weapons, obviously thinking that I'd surrendered.

"Just one problem with that," I said with a myseterious smile.

"And that would be...?"

"If I hit you before you hit me."

They all stood there for a second, but I didn't give them enough time to react.

"FLAMERIA!"

I closed my eyes and let the fire rain fall around me. Then I grabbed my cane and ran straight, leaving them to be incinerated by the flames.

I tripped over something that looked slightly like a human body, with green hair. I hit it on impulse, without noticing that she was quite weak, and seemed to have no desire to attack me. Groaning, she slumped to the ground.

"Oh, I...um..."

She kneeled, clutching her stomach.

Where were those healing nuts when you needed them? Then I noticed the Ninja beside her, holding up two long katanas.

"Stay the hell away from Rydia, whoever you are."

He seemed to be in a fix, standing between me and two other men, who were smirking.

"Another...?" One asked.

"Should we get rid of this one as well?"

I noticed another guy slumped in front of one of the two men, unconcious. Whoever these guys were...they needed help.

"Look, I'm not going to fight you, I'm--"

"We don't have time for this, I'm afraid," the one near the unconcious man said. He charged up a spell, a ball of flame gethering in his fist.

"Ice wall!" I exclaimed at the same time he launched his fireball. The two elemental spells met halway, negating each other out. Both of us were frozen for a moment, until I finally reacted, and threw a healing nut to the ninja and the green-haired girl.

"What...IS this?" The ninja asked me, studying the nut.

"Just eat it!" I snapped. Did he have to question? He obliged, as did the green haired girl.

"Well," the girl said weakly, "let's do this."

Fire of Legend

The Moogle's attack staggered Julius, not so much from pain as from the shock of seeing a human afflicted with Moogle status use offensive magic. It was only as the creature walked away that Julius was able to sense that the form of a Moogle was the creature's true nature. Julius momentarily considered countering the small being's attack, but ultimately decided that it was too early in the game to turn a casual opponent into a bitter enemy.

Julius began to wander the corridors of Garden pausing only twice to cast another fireball off in a random direction, not caring enough to see who or what it hit. After a time he came across the one called Kefka, the homicidal clown he had convinced Cid was responsible for this chaos. Whether or not the SeeDs would do anything to him Julius did not know, nor did he care.

When he drew closer he noticed that the maniac was wounded, the after-effects of a fire spell. A few feet away, walking slowly from the clown's burned body Julius saw a young woman, undoubtedly Kefka's attacker. Neo-Vandole's emperor knew instantly that someone with such strong magic could aid him.

Julius ran up to the girl and grabbed her shoulder, violently spinning her around. Before she could react Julius locked eyes with her, subverting her will with his own. "Heal me," he whispered, and the young woman complied, using her magic to knit the wounds caused by the Moogle's attack. "Now him," Julius continued, indicating the fallen Kefka, again the girl complied, healing the clown's wounds. "Go," Julius finished, dismissing the girl.

Julius turned and faced Kefka, who even now was returning to his feet. "You owe me," he said simply, "And I will expect you to make good on that debt." That being said Julius turned and walked away.

1 Attack Vote against Gilgamesh
2 P-Votes to Manipulate Lemina, resulting in 1 R-Vote to Julius and 1 R-Vote to Kefka.

Tenshi Kain
Nameless Eternal

More of Yume's sorcery...this is a city from the future!

Slash marvelled at the sights of Balamb Garden, lost in wonder to its splendor and might. Even more peculiar were the garments of the humans that roamed its halls (in noticeable fright), strange and oddly sequined. Particularly some of the females- for the first time, Slash had found himself actually staring. It was natural, to some degree, he supposed- humans weren't that much physiologically different from Mystics. Much less beautiful and vastly inferior in terms of intelligence, but not too different on the physical level. Earlier, he'd come close to accidently impaling a young blonde with a fairly revealing red tunic- well, accidently in the sense that he'd managed to remember Yume's spoken rule about refraining from killing civilians.

A pity. Ah, well; guess it wouldn't be fair to shatter the dreams of innocent bystanders.

"...damn it, that is a pity," Slash cracked aloud, instinctively patting the newfound scabbard at his side. On his walks through the mysteriously beautiful Balamb Garden after the scuffle on the elevator, he'd found a heavy scabbard in the sick bay- a patient had left it there, he supposed. Whatever the incident, it was about the size of his lovely Slasher II, and there was a mysterious metal within it- "adamantine", it was marked. It resisted the molecule-thin edge of his Slasher quite well, providing an ideal sheath for it without fear of the deadly weapon cutting through it. Slash grinned as he rounded yet another corner- maybe he'd finally get to try some iai strikes-

"Aargh! What the-"

Slash threw his free arm up in front of his face as searing heat blinded him, his fine white soldier uniform rippling from the shockingly hot waves of light. Fire...no, fire magic! And an extraordinarily powerful spell, at that. As the shimmering light settled, Slash spotted a blonde woman standing in front of three staggering fighters- a vibrant-clothed man, another young woman, and another male warrior. The latter two staggered from the blast, obviously not the intent of its focus.

But that said nothing of Slash. He wanted to cool off, and what more of a selfless method than to include these three?

The Mystic swordsman raised his free hand high, squeezing it into a tightly contracted fist. Another call was given from the depths of his mind, and the cold blue of the water element swarmed into his thoughts. Ries requiavus, zolar oqiin lesuit freize! Iceberg!

And then it rained, as icy mists rose above Slash's form to take the form of a shard of the vengeful arctic. It was tremendous, nearly the width of an entire hall of the Garden and a third as high as the roof. Slash grunted, tightening his bicep and swinging his entire arm forward, beckoning his inanimate servant. The Iceberg spell slammed full force into the center of the three staggering foes, sending splinters of ice raining through them. The man in the center received the most of it, but the other two were well within range. Slash felt the cold ease the heat he'd felt, and he smirked, pumping a fist. Again he took off, forward again, slipping neatly through one of the wide gaps between his recovering targets.

As he sprinted, Slash snatched one of his two potions from his side, just next to the scabbard, and tossed it upon the blonde. It soaked her hair, leaving her gaping in horror to her dampened state. Slash chuckled as he passed her, feeling high and crazy.

"Cold before fire, dollface! Remember that!" he called over his shoulder, before racing once more into the labyrinthian halls of Balamb Garden.

---

1 A-Vote to Kefka
1 A-Vote to Lenna
1 A-Vote to Siegfried
1 R-Vote to Lemina


Edit: Stupid color tags. I want to note that Slash is able to use Iceberg in Chrono Cross, the second game in which he appears- just so you guys don't think I pulled it out of my rear or anything. <=)

Correction.

OOC: Hey Munkwunk, sorry to burst your bubble, but you can only use an ability once per round, hence YOU CANNOT MANIPULATE UMARO INTO USING TWO ATTACK VOTES AGAINST ME. I'm not whining, this is only big because I'd like it noticed.

Zio's newfound strength sent Gryz flying. He struck a collum that held the catwalk from which he had decended. Gryz's anger boiled. Zio had already turned his back. Gryz let out a tremendous howl, a montavian war cry. SEED everywhere turned, some to fight, most to run. Horrified, Zio turned to face him.
Gryz's howl had filled him with an incredible detirmination, a boost of adrenaline that made him near immune (ex-barriar). Zio swerved away, legs prepareing to flee, but Gryz was already on the attack. He siezed the great demon, Chaos, who was terrorizing a near by trainee, and hurled the massive demon at the mage. Chaos slammed into Zio, the both crumpling into a heap of tangled armor and scales.

OOC: to recap-
3pp Ex-barriar Dark (nanny-nanny boo boo)
1 A-vote on Zio
1 A-vote on Chaos

My character is still out of commission, so I'll leave him there and throw out my last A&R-votes before turning in for the night.

EDIT: The Described Votes rule seems to prohibit me from doing this...

(Well, that's it. G'night, everyone.

EDIT: Simplistic Hero, he only did it with one ability.

The Main Moogle

"You OK, Umaro?" Mog asked of the yeti after they'd recovered to a safe distance.
"Ugh, me kill creepy man!" Umaro roared.
"Yeah, let's go back and show that guy who's boss!" Mog and the sasquatch rushed back to where the master of time was standing. I should've brought my spear along with me, the Moogle thought, too late. He grabbed a mop and lunged at the dark figure of Chaos, jamming the mop handle into his rib cage. "You messed with the wrong Moogle, pal! Kupo!"

>---------------------<
The dragoon continued to walk through Balamb Garden witnessing not only fighting between the other 25 competitors, but between the Garden students. It was a frightening scene to say the least; but Kain did fear.

Kain was just walked around a corner when he ran into Chaos.

"And who might you be?" demanded Chaos, looking for trouble.

"The name's Highwind... Kain Highwind." Kain took a step forward, and asked, "And who might you be?"

Chaos now took a step back, paused, and then finally answered. "I'm Chaos!!---And don't ya forget it! And next time, don't get in my way!"

Chaos began to form a wave of fire. In an attempted to avoid it, Kain did his jump ability, but it was too late; the wave of fire knock Kain to the ground.

"Ugh...".........

Kain got up and attacked Chaos, though it did nothing to Chaos; he didn't even move an inch. Chaos now took a step back, preparing to unleash a more deadly fire attack against Kain. Kain backed up, and jumped high into, just as the attack was used.

"hahaha, better luck next time!" Kain flew down, rammng his spear into deep into Chaos' chest, and creating a large explosive area the area, striking those not directly involved in confrontation.

"Arrggghhhhh...!" Chaos feel back, in immense pain as, Kain fled the area, feeling that he'll be dead next time.

Zelda gets a pep-talk.

Gryz wandered into the large room labeled "Garage." Several steps inward, he almost tripped over a young girl. She was obviously hurt, and recovering from some attack.

"Your small. For a tournament."

The girl seemed to glare at him angrily. Gryz gave her a blank look. He reached down, siezed her under the arm and lifted her to her feet. The girl gave him a confused and slightly frightened look. Gryz knocked some dust off the princess, and little shake and squeezed her shoulders a bit.

"Walk it off."

He released the girl, and she stumbled, yet managed to stay on her feet. Zelda still carried a very confused look, but she did feel a little better. She backed out of the garage.

Gryz sat upon the hood of a large buggy. The vechile depressed severel inches.

OOC: -recap
Thats one R-vote/pep-talk for the good princess Zelda.

"HOT DOGS, HOT DOGS ARE HERE!!!"

"That kid sure was excited. I wonder, whats a hot dog?" Bowser thought to himself. "Hmm, I'll just ask around."

"YOU! YES YOU PUNY MORTAL!" Bowser grabbed the nearest Seed student and hoisted him into the air. The child, who couldn't have been older than 10, began squirming in the over-grown turtles claws. "Tell me, what are these....hot....dogs?"

"They're the best food ever! And Balamb Garden always has a limited supply. So if you'll excuse me, I have to go!" The child wiggled free and ran off. Intrigued, Bowser followed the child into the cafeteria. It was there where he spotted a big SOLD OUT sign on the counter. "Fungah...no more hot dogs...well except for those that spiky haired blonde kid has...wait...thats Zell. He was one of the guys who beat Ultimecia! And here he is hogging all the hot dogs."

Bowser approached the young martial-artist, scarfing down the hot dogs. Zell was obviously taken by the large turtle creature before him, but hey, these were hot dogs.

"So are they any good?" Bowser asked.

"Mfufufgahaha." came the reply.

"What did you say?"

"Mfufufgahaha." came the reply again.

"NO ONE SPEAKS OF MY MOTHER THAT WAY! DIE MORTAL!"

"AAAAAAAGH!!!!"

For how long the battle raged the stories do not tell, but we do know that when all was said and done, the cafeteria was a wreck, Bowser got some hot dogs, and the disciplinary committee out lawed hot dogs from that day forward.


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

If the above seemed uninspired, its because it was. I just felt like writing something, even though it might not have much to do with the story so far

O.o; Yikes! This is what I get for not being around enough and having short-term memory issues! So, with that, I compensate. At least I can come back tomorrow morn and finish the job. ;p

Er... never fear about screwing up anything for my story. (Read: I don't have anything set.) Unless Ex has soem wild notion... o.O;

Anyway... (notes she needs to review the P-vote abilities again) ... oh, before I start posting, at this time, I have NO messaging programs working. --; My PC is still fritzy, thus I'm borrowing my dad's. So, don't try to AIM/ICQ me. ^^
---------------
*before Chaos*
Rydia walked quietly out fo the classroom, her footsteps lost among the shuffle of the other contestants. As soon as she found a moment to get free, she took it and bolted away before someone started a whole scale melee about her. She checked her gear once more, being certain she had brought enough. After confirming that fact, she took her whip in hand and began to make her way through the halls. She was determined to prove she could do this. She'd go as far as she could, and if she did achieve winning...

She paused a moment and smiled slightly.

She heard something ahead, and caught a shadow in the distance. She swiftly worked her way forward and spotted it - definitely one of the contestants. She focused as the eprson turned, catching a glimpse of light pink hair before she unleashed the blast of ice. She felt something graze her, but passed onward through the odd hallways.

This reminds me of the whale...

It was only later she ran into Edge - and that would prove to be a nightmare...


I'm cutting it there for various reasons. I'll be more... composed in the morning. --; I need to think, and review. And get some sleep. *yawn* Besides that... I'd like to try and get my PC back online and working smoothly. Perferably without havign to spend $$ for new cables and such. *irk*

Locke Cole - FFOS6

Cautiously exploring the massive Garden, Locke spied a moogle and a sasquatch attacking a very evil looking creature. "Could it be?" Locke wondered, "That has to be Mog and Umaro." Fortunetely, the fiesty moogle was able to get good hit on his foe, causing it to retreat. "Mog, Umaro, over here!" Locke yelled out to his friends.

"Locke!" Umaro yelled out happily, giving his friend a huge bear hug.

"Ugh Umaro... I can't... breath," Locke gasped.

"Me sorry," Umaro apologized.

"Hello Locke!" Mog exclaimed, "Good to see you, kupo!"

"Wow, you boys look like you've seen some action. Here, let me help you out." Locke said, and prepared to cast a cure on his non-human companions. Just as he let off the spell, another person appeared. Mog, Umaro, and the newcomer all benefited from the effects of the spell.

Suddenly Locke's eyes grew wide. The figure standing behind Mog and Umaro was none other then the blue-clad swordsman from the brawl. "You!" the demi-human exclaimed, quickly drawing his sword.

"Sorry guys, gotta run!" Locke stammered out as he took off, desperately trying to escape the swordsman's wrath. The chase was on.

Though Locke was an excellent sprinter, he realized his persuer was gradually gaining on him. Locke darted down a side path, hoping to gain some time. Looking back to see if his enemy was following him, Locke ran straight into a young blonde-haried woman walking in the opposite direction. Falling head first onto the cold hard floor, Locke turned around and realized he had been caught.

"So human, it looks like the chase ends here," Locke's attacker taunted, "I'm going to enjoy this!" His dagger pinned to the ground, Locke frantically grabbed for any thing to use to his advantage. Grabbing a potion strapped to his belt, Locke threw it into the face of his attacker. The vial broke in the mans face, temporarily blinding him. Not wasting a second, Locke was on his feet and down the hall.

FFOS6: Zio

OOC: D'oh, I always forget that. Okay, negate my last manipulate; Umaro has both of his A-Votes back, I have both my P-Votes back, and Gryz doesn't have those two A-Votes gainst him.

____________

"That's it!" Zio bellowed, his voice fierce and filled with rage as he crawled his way out of the mess of bodies that were crammed within the hallway. "Dark Force may not be with me here BUT YOU WILL ALL FEEL HIS WRATH!"

The black mage's eyes flared red; his anger obviously getting the better of him. "All be damned who test the will of Zio!"

His muslces already strengthened from teh Shift spell, Zio's veins were now pumping with more adrenaline than ever; the black mage was becoming very intolerant.

"Hewn!" he shouted, and torando-force winds sent a fluffy creature with red wings reeling back against the fountain off to the far end of the hall.

"Nagra!" he bellowed, and the man he had recognized earlier as the one injured by Gryz's fall was pulled toward a condensed ball of matter; Zio directed the orb with the man still held within its grasp to slam into the ceiling before letting him drop to the ground.

His enemies stunned, Zio glanced at the demon still standing within range. He looked injured. "An easy target, or potential ally?" Zio mused for a moment, mulling over the possibilities in his mind.

"Here," he said to the demon, his mind made up. Tossing a Dimate in his direction, Zio addressed him once more. "Don't forget this."

Zio then dashed away, kicking another child out of his way as he barreled through the hallways of the complex.

San Draco
The Man in Scales (MIS!)

Chaos felt each of the attacks hit him. And yet, some of them simply bounced off. The foolish dragoon was one; his foot slid off of Chaos's glossy scales.

Foolish mortals. They cannot comprehend the darkness, that is their greatest fear, and therefore their greatest weakness.

The moogle attempted to land on Chaos, as well, but Chaos simply faded into his wraithform, and the moogle fell through the floor.

An elven princess, resplendent in robes of imperial status, walked by. Chaos smirked. Another servant of the Light. How touching. And yet, her troubles have only begun. I believe that her future will be bleak indeed.

Closing his eyes, Chaos floated high above the Garden. "Powers of Darkness, come and turn hope into despair!"

A rush of energy flowed toward Zelda, aimed right at her heart. She barely registered the intent of the spell before she was blown away by the sheer energy. A small, blue, furry creature attempted to pull her away, but succeeded only in suffering in the wash of the spell. Oddly enough, it did not seem to affect him. Still, Chaos did not care. He had other targets in mind.

Chaos slowly floated down to the floor again, this time picking his way through the rubble and debris. Another small human... A female this time. The concentration of Light servants here is nauseating. I suppose I will have to disperse their strength, and strike them down. He raised his hand, preparing to strike her down with another spell. Suddenly, he smiled.

"No, a quick death would be far too easy on you. I will allow you to suffer, as I have suffered for so many years. Now, prepare yourself."

Faster than she could have imagined, Chaos plunged his claws into her, and suddenly wrenched them out again. "Now, you shall see how truly long your suffering can last." Chaos left the girl, and continued on.
---

Even deeper into the Garden he went, searching for someone... A gambler had just defeated a 4-armed swordsman, wielding nothing more than cards. He could become a threat to me. I need to defeat him now, before he can cause more damage.

Just as the gambler was putting away his cards, Chaos stepped forward. "Do not put them away, not yet. For I, too, am interested in a game. A game of life... and death."

Setzer smiled. "High card?"

Chaos smirked. "You draw first."

Setzer shuffled the deck, and cut the cards. He pulled out... a King of Spades. "The highest card. Fancy that."

Chaos smiled. "There is yet a way for me to win. Observe." Chaos reached into the deck, and pulled out a Queen of Clubs. "Now, see how I always win, no matter the circumstances."

Chaos nonchalantly threw the card at Setzer, sending the gambler flying, leaving the King of Spades behind. Chaos picked it up, and smirked. "I win."
---

Chaos met up with Zoma in the classroom hallway, where the two had first met. Zoma looked at him, with some interest. "How didst thou do?"

Chaos shook his head. "Not well enough. The Nobles are yet powerful, and united against us. It will take our combined power, and perhaps more, in order to defeat them."

Zoma stood up from his seat. "I see. The time hath come for my vengeance..."

Chaos showed the card in his hand. "This may become useful to us. I shall keep it. You, on the other hand, will need this."

Chaos hands Zoma the potion he had previously garnered from Edge. "In case the Nobles attack you. I have another for our ally."
---

Vote recap:
1 Ex-barrier: Noble. Reflecting Kain's Jump.
1 Evade: Merton Dew's Mog does nothing to me.

1 A-vote each to Zelda, one to Griz, one to Mia, and one to Setzer.

1 R-vote each to Zoma and Rubicant.

Chaos now has the King of Spades.

OOC: just a reminder, Chaos's A-vote FIZZLES OFF MY EX-BARRIAR (DARK)
The Ex-barriar can deflect two more Dark blows.


Gryz looked up just in time to see a mop handle strike Zio directly in the back. Gryz howled uncontrollably.

"What an insult."

Zio clammed to his feet, and ran off. Gryz turned to see who could have used such a brilliant attack. There was only one being in sight, a small, white critter with a very unique tuff on its head. Gryz approached the creature.

"You?"

The moogle nodded. Gryz grinned a great montavian grin, the kind where you show your teeth and look as menacing as possible. Suprisingly, the moogle still understood the gesture of appreciation. Gryz reached into his satchel, removed a small vial, and dangled it above the moogle's head. The moogle jumped twice, far short of the vial. Frustrated, Mog crossed his arms and gave Gryz a definative grunt. Gryz grinned again and dropped the potion into the moogles hand.

Just then, a large yeti approached. Recognizing the creature from before, Gryz quickly examined its muscular build. A arm wrestling match would certainly be nessesary. He slapped the giant yeti on the back affectionatly, dusk flew off the creature.

OOC: -to recap
thats 100 a-votes against, ....wait...i'm sorry, thats 1 r-vote to Mog. Enjoy.

Slash sputtered, tasting vile green as the potion slid down his throat. Granted, it eased much of the pain in his calf, but the stuff overall tasted like monkey...well, never mind what it tasted like. He wiped the remainder from his lip, stumbling back the way he'd come and safely out of the range of the sounds of battle. He needed some solitude for a second or two; the fight could wait, but his body was getting a little sore. And he was hungry- very hungry. It occured to him he hadn't eaten for some time, ever since the ration dealing from the day before Yume had come to him.

Hope the human food around here is good. Slash stretched a bit, feeling extremely rejuvenated from his unlikely source of help. The Mystic swordsman raced down the long hall, passing some kid who was showing off his "MiniMog" card. Slash cocked a brow as he passed; humans had the most curious of pastimes. He shook off his confusion, scouring until he found a sign engraved with the word "Cafeteria." The smell of something like roast hog enticed his nostrils, and Slash gladly followed the scent until he found himself encompassed by a large, almost deserted dining hall.

"Hey, someone showed up today! Thank Hy- oh, wait, you're not a SeeD."

Slash followed the source of the voice, finding what looked to be a female human, clad in blue and black and with deep ebony hair, behind a large counter laden with food. Again, Slash needed no second bidding- he hurried over and grabbed a plump, sandwich-looking thing, stuffing it into his mouth. "Mmm...rargh, mmm! Damn, this is...good. What's this?"

The girl blinked. "They're hot dogs."

"Dogs?" Slash said over a mouthful of the meat. "What, you low on rations or something?"

"W-well, they're actually a popular treat." She smiled sheepishly. "And they're not dogs, they're a...little bit of everything. Pork and beef, mainly. Don't tell anyone, but the pork kind of comes from the anus..."

Slash looked over the remaining two-thirds of his meal, nodding in appreciation. "Huh. Interesting...you put anything on it? Termina squid gut sauce or something else?"

She made a face as though she were about to vomit. "Uh...we have ketchup, mustard, and relish just to the right," she said, placing a hand over her mouth as she gestured to three pots- one filled with a smooth red sauce, the other with what looked like tangy yellow, and another with a sauce of pickles and vegetables. The smell of each started a rivulet of longing in Slash's mouth, and he grinned in even more appreciation.

"Well, dollface, you may be missing quite a few of these dogs in a minute." Slash sheathed his sword, replacing it with a large plastic tray. He grabbed another dog and stuffed it onto a plate, piling the 'relish' and 'mustard' upon it. A bite of that one confirmed his desires, and he piled on four more dogs, combining condiments as varied as the elements in his arsenal.

Slash grinned, forgetting the battle for a moment as the lust for blood was replaced with lust to enjoy this flavored hog anus.

Just finishing up.

Alright. I'm gonna empty my purse and get some sleep.

Still enraged by his viscious howl, Gryz torn through the Garden, arms a-swinging. He stuck the dark Sigfriend, driving a hard montavian elbow deep into the evil gut. Gryz whirled around, siezing the annoying clown he had spotted before, twirling twice, and releasing the screaming abomination into a pair of figures. (Zoma and Lenna)

"Well met, human. Well met." Zoma staggered back up to his feet as his piercing gaze shifted to Duran, who, exhausted as he was, did not see Chaos silently stalking him from behind. "I know little of whom thou speakest, but I shalt seek out this Koren. Perhaps he too wouldst be interesting in allying himself with the Dark forces."

At that instant, Zoma heard Duran and Chaos trade words, and then the Dark One smashes a fearsome blow to Duran's neck, and the mortal crumpled. Zoma, eyes narrowing in anger as he realized his powerful attack had missed, breathed a gout of flame from his mouth in reflex, burning the male human.

"That shouldst teach thee! Thy attacks mean nothing to one such as I! No human hath ever inflicted such damage upon Zoma and lived to speak of it!"

-----(Catching Up)-----

"I thank thee, Chaos. Thou shalt be recompensed." The crimson threads of Zoma's Cloak of Darkness glowed as the Archfiend gathered healing energy. With a flash Healmore mended some of Chaos's lighter wounds. "I shalt succor additional aid for us. I shalt return. It is possible that others may soon join us."

Zoma Returned to the lower levels of the Garden, where Chaos had directed him. Sure enough, the sprightly Moogle armed with-- of all things-- a mop, was still there, seemingly fuming over how he had been unable to hit the golden demon. Another odd-looking creature, this one a towering beast of fur and muscle and not a spark of intelligence, stood beside him.

"Creature! Thou hast attacked one Fiend too many. I am here to call thee to thy Altar of Sacrifice. Stand firm and embrace the Darkness, and thou shalt die more easily!"

Mog immediately drew his useless weapon in defense; the sasquatch merely growled. "Don't mess with us, kupo!"

"I am afraid thy warnings are entirely too late." The Cloak lit up again as Zoma fired twin Icespears at the pair, and frigid wind accompanied the myriad shards of frozen water. Both were battered to the ground, but neither would accept defeat. Not yet, and not by a long shot.

"Hmmm... perhaps thy strength would be better served elsewhere?" Zoma paused as he looked them over, and then gave a menacing chuckle. "...but of course."

He pointed a finger at Mog, and suddenly the moogle found himself unable to determine who his friends and enemies were. The effects of the Chaos spell were subtle, but they were complete. A victim had no control over himself.

"Mog? What wrong?" came the slow voice of Umaro.

"There is nothing wrong," came Terra's soothing voice from Zoma's lips. "Mog, could you give me a few potions? We're in real danger from Kefka here!"

"Sure, kupo!" The helpless Moogle offered two Hi-Potions to the fuzzy image before him.

"I thank thee."

"...Terra?!"

"No. Sad as it may be." Zoma swung his fist in a crushing blow to Mog's head, and the Moogle was flung down the hall.

"Mog!" yelled the yeti, as he rose to charge at Zoma.

The wily Archfiend was prepared, and as he warped away he created a Surround veil of mirages around Umaro in which any action he took would be at a fake. "Farewell, thou weak servants of Good! I shall turn again to finish thee!"

And with that, he was gone.

Added: Oddly enough, Zoma was normally careful enough to gauge where he teleported. In this case, however, the pressure of his weight suddenly thrown upon the deck as he warped was enough to disturb a third furry creature, this one armed with an axe who seemed to reflexively strike at Zoma.

"Ah! Very well then, beast, if thou wishest to play such a game!" Zoma immediately struck with his own fist in an uncharacteristic moment of anger, and the Motavian (sp?), despite the dispelling presence of a magical barrier, was knocked down for the count.

There art truly no places of recuperation for the wicked. Well, such ist the mockery of life. Now, I must needs concerneth myself with gathering allies....

Fire of Legend

Confusion reigned supreme over the Garden, contestants running back and forth so fast that Julius was unable to keep track. One of the warriors, a swordsman, drew Julius's attention. The swordsman practically reeked of Mana, the mystical energy seemed to flow around him in a beautiful cascade. Julius instantly moved on the swordsman, hoping to steal his Mana to help replace that which was lost in his battle with the boy who claimed to be a Gemma Knight. As Julius drew close, however, the swordsman struck out, his sword cutting deeply into Julius. The emperor paused only momentarily, then countered the attack with an intense barrage of magic. The swordsman fell back as Julius slowly advanced on him.

Before Julius could press his advantage, however, another group of warriors rushed past him, allowing the swordsman to escape in the confusion. Enraged Julius turned on the passing fighters and unleashed a massive wave of Mana energy. Julius smiled in satisfaction as his attack felled three of his opponents.

Cap'n off the night.

Alright, i know I said i was sleep last post, but I forgot.

OOC: Zoma, that is correct. Your dark fizzles off my ex-barriar, it can recieve one more dark blow. That is, of coarse, if I wern't using COVER on you right now.

Zoma's attacks flew outward, but Gryz was prepared. He left infront of the oncoming projectiles, fire and magic deflecting off his broad shoulders. Well the assault was over, Gryz dusted his arm.

"Ow..."

Just to make sure his defensive drive was complete, Gryz tossed two more of his healing vials, one to the Moogle, anouther to the treasure hunter. Thirsty, he downed one himself.

OOC: Yeah, I've noticed that as well, but so far, the excuses I hear for those are the need for sleep and writer's block, both of which are valid in my view. Heh, anyone who knows me well knows I get writer's block all the time. It's a monkey bite in the hoo-haa, that it is. <=) Given such circumstances, and as most of those people have posted in-character and described an attack/reversal at least once, I would understand such.

Things were a mess. Zeal normally navigated even complex corridors and passageways with ease, but the layout of this place was hopelessly confusing. What was more, she had forgotten to really take note of the contestants as she had promised herself.

"Tomorrow, I'll certainly do it. I promise." she nodded her head as she hovered above the cold tile floor of the quad. "With that settled, I'd better make use of the day while the midnight oil burns...or something like that." She never had quite caught on to the Earthbound Ones' idioms and sayings.

Closing her eyes, she singled out three random warriors and restored a bit of their strength with her magical powers. It was only a little, but as she had learned, even the smallest boon may save a life.

Slash sat at one of the tables in the cafeteria, gnashing into his ketchup/relish dog hungrily and summarily wolfing the bite down. Hot damn, this is good! He had to concur with every appraising sentiment that entered his head; this was much a welcome change from the crusty, crumbly survival bars that he'd grown accustomed to on the battlefield. They were hot, delicious, and refreshingly addictive- a true delicacy of the future. It almost made him long to be immortal, he'd love to have food like this to look forward to.

"...what in blue perdition am I thinking?! I'm supposed to wanna kill!" Slash muttered with a growl. He looked at the dog with forced distaste, but another whiff of it reached his nostrils. "But...they're so tasty. So...tasty." Another bite confirmed that thought, and he licked some ketcup from the corner of his mouth. He wondered if Sir Magus or Flea would enjoy a taste, idly. He didn't doubt Ozzie would- the one-Mystic feedbag would eat his mother's first girdle if it were seasoned in Termina dressing.

CRACK!

Slash craned his head around to the door as it burst open again, two figures stumbling in. One was the blonde flamethrower from before, and the other was-

"You!" Slash was on his feet at once, the sight of the thief who'd attacked and saved him this day prompting him to grip his sword. The thief gulped, eyes wide, and turned to rush out, but the sound of a blast from outside caused him to pause. He wrenched his dark blonde hair, making a sound between a groan and a squeal. "Son of a- not a good predicament!!!" he exclaimed.

Slash tested the pommel of his blade, stepping forward and shaking his head. "Oh, I should so carve you a new adam's apple," he muttered, stopping a few paces from the thief and the blonde.

The female raised her hands up, offering a forced smile. "Now, now, let's not do something drastic...this isn't the best place for open combat!"

Slash ran a finger along his chin, long ears twitching with minor annoyance. "Yeah...good point. I wouldn't want to hurt the hog anus."

The two looked at each other. "...hog anus?" they muttered in unison, obviously puzzled.

Slash snorted at the thief and the girl, turning to the side to grab two simmering hot dogs from the counter. He stepped forward, shoving the morsels in front of their mouths. "These! A delicacy of the future! They rejuvenate, replenish, and yet they're made of pure hog anus. Imagine that- the lowest part of the lowest animal on the food chain, carved, skinned, seasoned and roasted to make such an incredible meal!"

The blonde looked as though she would vomit, and the thief bared his teeth in a sickened grin. Slash growled, shoving the hot dogs into their mouths. "How dare you make such faces to these vital, mortal ambrosia! Eat and know the truth!"

The blonde was forced to swallow, her cheeks turning pale green as she turned away with some disgust. The thief was less of a struggle, shrugging before chewing thoroughly- twenty-four times- and swallowing. He coughed lightly, nodding in some appreciation. "Uh...yeah, they're very good," he muttered.

Slash shook his head, turning back to walk over to his table. "Oh, you of little faith," he muttered, fingering another hot dog from his tray. "I suggest you get moving," the Mystic said over a mouthful of mustard and meat. "I'm in a good mood, but I won't be when this next hot dog on my tray is gone!"

Sponsoring Kefka......

Ahhh.... blasted time zone differences.. Okay, Kefka got a good number of votes so I'll have to sort of go back in time and recap everything to catch up... Weeeeeeee

_________________________________________________

Right after Queen Zeal's impressive display of water magic, Kefka fell to the ground panting. Looking through his recently drawn magic, he found a spell to counteract Zeal's attack. (casts Evade)

As Kefka continued to walk the Balamb hallways, he encountered more and mre local students. It seemed that the complex was on alert now, with specific orders for students to attack contestants. Maybe this was the doing of one of them??

"Hmm.... Tricky, indeed. I like it."

Kefka, though unhappy about it, tried as much as he could to obez the rule of not killing civilians. He pondered whether SeeDs with deadly weapons trying to kill him count as civilians, but decided not to risk being disqualified.

"Oh well... this contest is better than death. Uwee hee hee!"

Kefka looked around to find a suitable spot to wreak havoc from. He wondered through the cafeteria, making sure to poison the Hot Dogs just enough to give bad stomach trouble to anyone lucky enough to be able to buy one.

He then realized that the exterior of Cid Kramer's office overlooks the entire garden hall. He cast "Float" on himself and started levitating, flying up towards a conveniently placed platform to rest upon. He had to dodge quite a few bullets along the way. Apparently the Garden dispatched its gunfighters.

Kefka picked them off with Lit-1 set on a large spread and Stun.

After landing, Kefka was hit with a random Heal spell by a Dragoon jumping along. (OOC: Thx Boko )

...

...

...

With an amplified voice, Kefka shouted all over the garden.

"NOW YOU SHLL FEEL MY EVIL WRATH!!! UWEE HEE hE HE HEE!!"

"And hear this!! I am NOT a clown!!! This is just my attire of choice!!! Not to do with my sexual orientation by the way, for I am ONLY attracted to Female Espers!!!!!! Uweee he he he he heee!!!!!!!!!!!!"

With that, Kefka fired off evil magic of destruction randomly (and at times not-so-randomly).

The Main Moogle

"Kupo, it's that nut Kefka!" Mog shouted, recoiling from Kefka's magic attack. "You better watch it, you psycho!" Mog conjured up the Earth Blues and did the dance of Whump, sending an animal attack out onto Kefka. It was quite a site to see the funny-looking man trying to escape from the animal's fury. As Kefka ran away, Chaos, lord of the Time Loop, approached from the direction he had just disappeared off to. "You!" Mog yelled. "You won't get away so easily this time, kupo!" He performed the Wombat dance, sending a furry little creature to attack the evil being. Satisfied with his work, the Moogle walked over to where the sasquatch Umaro and the Motavian Gryz were standing. "I'm just getting started, kupo!" Mog danced the Ice Rabbit to the tune of the Snowman Jazz, restoring himself, Gryz, and Umaro.

Well, I'm glad to see that Evil hasn't been trampled on too much in the first round. It's still one sided, though. Let's see what we can do about that... *mimics Kefka's laugh* This'll do it, too... like all good Archfiends, I need to get some rest soon....

---

Zoma winced as he remembered Mog's farewell attack. The sensation was unpleasant-- though, due to his unique physiology, he was not nearly as hurt as a human male would be-- but painful nevertheless.

My enemies hath more power than I had at first anticipated. I cannot wait-- I must seek out those who wouldst choose to aid me.

Zoma found himself walking toward the open area of the Garden, where the human soldiers were fighting with mixed amounts of success to clear the enemy from the base. Strangely, most of them had chosen to form some manner of coexistence with the newcomers-- Zoma had only two humans to flick away as he approached the sight of the maniacal clown firing seemingly random blasts of magic at the other competitors.

Couldst this one be an ally? Nay... Rubicant was correct in his mind's eye, and he is untrustworthy. Nevertheless, an enemy of Good is my ally....

"Kefka! Master of the Espers! I see that thou mayest need some assistance!" Zoma's powerful voice called to the floating clown above him.

"Eh? Who's that down there? And don't interrupt!"

Fickle, capricious, irrational. Not a worthy ally, unless he wouldst prove himself. Even still....

"Restrain thy anger for a moment! I wish but to aid thee for now!" And with a flourish, Zoma flicked a blue-skinned hand at Kefka, and a Healmore spell restored some of the clown's health. "We both hath enemies here. Wouldst thou heal me, so that we may strike them down together?"

To Zoma's left he saw Duran, whom he had presumed to leave for dead, escape from another human, one who bore the unmistakable aura of Darkness.

Zoma frowned as he saw another male human, appearing to be a Rogue or Thief, leave the scene with another human woman. I shouldst do something about this.... Zoma closed his eyes and silently pronounced a powerful Curse upon Locke, which would manifest later. It would seem to be only a mild weakness, such as one might receive through indigestion, but it would weaken him remarkably.

This mortal is a grand contender. Couldst he also join us? Zoma's Eye swept over the man, who was revealed as Julius, an Emperor and bearer of Mana, an alternate form of Magic Power, which is what Zoma drew upon.

"Julius! Thou seemest truly to be the mightiest of thy race! I hath seen thy prowess and I wouldst offer thee my assistance! We Masters of the Darkness art few and made impotent by the wiles of our foes. Together, we canst do far more than any of us wert capabable of alone. What sayest thou? And wouldst thy decision by affected by mine aid?"

As he said that, Zoma tossed a Medical Herb and a small Dragon's Scale to Julius. The talisman had little power, but it could function as a magical component, and it might have value to a man like Julius.

Zoma's eyes flickered to Kefka above, and then to the other human now facing him on the promenade.

And he waited.

---

(Subtle) Attack vote used on Locke.

Reversal used on Kefka.
Reversal used on Julius.


Offer of a Dark Alliance extended to Kefka and Julius. It currently exists of three members-- Rubicant, Chaos, and myself.

And that clears out my votes. G'night, all. Congrats for a round well fought-- that was brilliant, all, and I'm glad to be part of it. Some awesome work from most of you-- I'm thinking of Slipstream, Tenshi, Anoat (darn shame you couldn't sponsor, and good luck in track!), Soujiro (darn shame you couldn't sponsor-- your posts are simply excellent, and I'm sorry if I'm not sure how to relate to your character-- I've never played Chrono Trigger) and Switchblade; although no one's doing a bad job at all. Keep it up! This is great stuff!

Oh, yes.

Ahem. *clears throat*

If you only knew the true power of the Dark Side! Come, and embrace it! It is your destiny!

And with those final words from Zoma, he was knocked off his feet by a Sonic Boom. He looked up to see a Moogle waving at him with a grin on his face. "Sorry, but I'm in a mood to bust up evil. Kupo!" And with that he danced off.

Sorry about this.

And now, to clear some things up...

Described Votes Only: Kyle III is right. Kyo and Luna are still in danger of some SERIOUS Vote Burn, since they haven't described how their characters used all of those votes. There are no exceptions to the Described Votes Only rules.

EX-Barrier Usage: Simplistic Hero, you don't have to announce which A-Votes are nullified by the EX-Barrier. In fact, the way I tally the votes makes it so it actually hasn't blocked the things you think it has.

Cover Usage: Sephiroth666, Cover can only be used by Sidekicks and Fallen, not Sponsors.

Following Usage: Kyo, Following only disallows Attack Abilities and A-Votes from the given character on the chosen EX-Type, not Healing Abilities, Effect Abilities, or R-Votes.

"Raijin, get out of my way right now!"

"No way! Dr. Kadowaki said that you shouldn't leave the infirmary until she came back, ya know? So you should stay here, ya know?" Raijin stood in front of the door, bravely (and foolishly) blocking the path of a rather beat-up-looking Seifer Almasy.

"I don't care what the damn doctor said! I'm going out there and exacting revenge on each and every one of those bastards, and nobody's going to stand in my way!" Seifer grabbed Raijin's shoulder and tossed the 100-kilogramme student aside like it was nothing.

"STOP." Fujin stepped between Seifer and the door and placed a hand on his chest. "DON'T GO."

"Aww, come on, Fujin! I know you're not going to back down from a fight!"

"NOT BACKING DOWN," Fujin replied in her odd form of speech. "CAN'T BE RASH. WE NEED PLAN."

Seifer looked into Fujin's good eye and saw that she wasn't going to back down until she got her way. And while he could toss Raijin around whenever he wanted (Not like the big lug even feels it...), he didn't ever want to hurt Fujin in any way.

"Tch... fine!" Seifer threw up his arms in exasperation. "But we had better come up with something quick! Knowing how that pansy Squall works, it's doubtful that Garden will last another hour."

"You insult Squall because you know that his abilities far exceed your own." The three members of the Disciplinary Committee turned towards the voice, which belonged to Yume. She sat at Dr. Kadowaki's desk, and twisted the chair back and forth slightly, clearly amused.

"As if! What do you know, little girl?" Seifer responded indignantly.

"More than you allow yourself to." Yume got up out of the seat, and the three students tensed up as they saw the katana hanging from her side.

"WHO...?" Fujin asked, hand going her pinwheel in preparation for battle.

"My name is Yume, and I am in charge of the tournament taking place in this school. I'm here to recommend that you don't interfere with the tournament any further. The contestants are far beyond what you are capable of dealing with."

Seifer's eye twitched in anger. "You... you are responsible for what's happening to Garden? You're the one responsible for the attack on my home!?" He pulled out his Hyperion, and in the same motion, launched himself at Yume. The goddess was unfazed, however, and leapt over the charging Seifer. The gunblade struck Dr. Kadowaki's chair, cutting it completely in two.

"SAI!" Yume landed just as Fujin threw her pinwheel along the ground. Just as it popped up to hit Yume, she caught it, then turned and threw it in the direction of Raijin. The spinning blade cut clean through his staff and embedded itself in his shoulder, causing him to collapse from pain.

Yume turned around again just in time to dodge a roundhouse kick from Fujin. As the white-haired female launched another kick, Yume caught it, and used the leg as leverage to hurl her opponent across the room. With a sickening thud, Fujin hit the far wall and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

As Yume turned to face her last opponent, she drew her katana from where it laid at her side. Seifer smirked. "What an archaic weapon!" He held up his gunblade. "My Hyperion will shatter your blade into so much scrap metal."

"Well, then attack me if you're so confident in your weapon's abilities." The words has barely left Yume's mouth when Seifer attacked. As she parried the blow, she heard a loud shot, and saw fire spurt out of the sides of Seifer's gunblade. As she drew back her sword to parry the next blow, she felt it vibrating tremendously. His weapon! It vibrates to increase the damage of his attacks! Remarkable!

The swordplay continued for a minute, and Seifer found himself gaining the upper hand. "Come on! Is that the best you've got?"

"No, actually. You couldn't handle my best."

"Ha! I can take anything you can dish out!"

"Really? Then I suppose I shouldn't hold back..." Yume pulled away from Seifer for a moment, and concentrated on her sword. The blade began to glow as brightly as the sun, as Yume herself was surrounded by an aura of white.

After a few seconds of this, Yume launched an attack at Seifer, who barely had time to raise his gunblade to guard himself against it. Perhaps I shouldn't have mocked her... he thought before the attack connected.

A moment later, the outer wall of the infirmary exploded outwards, ejecting Seifer from the garden. Fortunately, he was strong enough to retain his consciousness, and thus did not drown when he hit the ocean's surface.

Yume watched as the arrogant young swordsman floundered in the ocean. Suddenly, she burst into laughter. It had ben a long time since she had last laughed, and she was suprised at how good it felt. Still chuckling, she left the infirmary.

Slowly, Raijin got up on to his feet and pulled Fujin's pinwheel out of his shoulder. He stared at the blood-covered blade for a moment, before letting it drop to the ground. "Ow... ya know..." he commented, before collapsing back into unconsciousness.

Mog was strolling quietly through Garden (well, as quietly as one could stroll amidst all the chaos) when he suddenly came face-to-face with Locke. "Hey, kupo! How're things goin'?"
"Not bad. Could be better. Excuse me for a second." Locke ducked through a doorway and Mog heard the sounds of a struggle. Locke ran back out and barred the door. "Uh, hear, I 'found' this," he said casually, tossing Mog a stout spear. They could hear someone pounding on the door. "Here, I took this, too," Locke said, offering Mog a potion.
"No, you keep it. But thanks for the weapon, kupo!" The sound of a door tearing off its hinges could be heard.
"Uh, I gotta go," Locke said. "Bye!" And with that he dashed off.
"Well, glad to see-" Mog was interrupted as the door gave way and a many-armed man loomed in the doorway. "Eeeek! Hey Locke, wait for me!" he cried, giving the guy a good whack before running after the treasure hunter.

KyleIII
Locke Cole - FFOS6

"Mmm... Hog anus or not, this's one of the best meals I've ever eaten." Locke said to no one in particular as he polished off his fifth hot dog. "I could make a fortune selling these things in Kohlingen. Locke Cole brand hot dogs. has a nice ring to it."

With a full stomach and high spirits, Locke returned to the main corridor to see if anything had happened while he was busy stuffing his face. After a brief meeting with Mog and a quick chase courtesy of Gilgamesh, Locke was once again walking by himself down the hall. "Dang those things were good," Locke muttered, "I feel like a million GP!"

About twenty minutes after leaving the cafeteria, however, Locke felt a slight pain in his gut. "Ugh, looks like those things aren't sitting to well. Shouldn't have eaten so much."

Over the course of the next ten minutes, Locke's stomach began feeling worse. Much worse. Reaching for an antidote, Locke didn't notice as a potion fell out of his bag and onto the floor.

Unfortunetely, the antidote wasn't much help. "Ugh, I think I'm gonna..." Locke immediately began sprinting down the nearest hallway, hoping to find a bathroom. Spying a young woman, Locke quickly ran up to her and asked, "Do you now where the bathrooms are?"

"I'm sorry, I..." the girl was about to respond, when without warning it happened. The contents of Locke's stomach came straight out and all over the young girl.

"Eww!" She screamed.

"Ugh, terribly sorry." Locke stammered.

"What did you eat!" she demanded, not wanting to even touch herself.

"Hog anuses." Locke answered.

"What!?!" she answered, nearly exploding in anger.

"Urg, gotta go!" Locke said, hoping to find a bathroom before it happened again.

Mog chased after Locke for a while, but he was too far gone. And he had more important things on his mind - like running away from the multi-armed menace that was charging after him. In his rush he bumped into a tall, mysterious swordsman, knocking him off-balance and into the fountain. And as Gilgamesh came running towards him, Mog threw a potted plant at his feet, tripping him up and sending him into the fountain and on top of the swordsman. "That takes care of that!" Mog told himself.
