Lightbulb Rurouni Taikai: The Eternal Dream - Round Two

Chapter 2: Diverting the Path of a Goddess

Mishnu gazed out the window, looking on the tranquil city below. It’s elegant architecture, magnificent gardens and beautiful waterways had never failed to bring joy to her heart when she looked upon them... until now. A dark menacing cloud now drifted over the city, and it was a fitting metaphor for the darkness that had fallen over Mishnu’s heart. She sighed. “I honestly don’t see this coming to a good end...”

“Well, then perhaps we should give up and let her do as she wishes, if you feel we are doomed to fail?” Mishnu turned back to her chamber, where only Keir could sit in a chair of the finest craftsmanship and be uncomfortable. As she watched, he got up and began to fiddle with the bandage wrapped around his head. “I mean, I was thoroughly trounced by the girl, and you don’t see me going around saying, ‘We’re all gonna die!’”

“Yes, but that is because you are unnaturally optimistic,” Darius replied. He had forgone the chair altogether, and now sat cross-legged on the ground. “Look at this way, my friend: she is a goddess. No, she is the goddess, more powerful than any other being. Even if we seek to stop her plans, how can we? Can Mishnu stand up against her? No. Can I? No. Can you?”

“No, I don’t believe I could. But it’s not like we have to fight her or anything. All we need to do is show her that she is the only one that can handle the power that she wields, and that it is selfish to force such a responsibility into the hands of another.”

“Do you think that those thoughts have not already been through her head a thousand times?” Mishnu asked. “She knows that what she does is selfish and wrong, but we don’t know what having this power is doing to her. This may very well seem like the only way to her, and what then?” She turned back to the window, and gazed at the brewing storm. “How do you convince someone that the only path is not the right one?”

A uneasy silence fell over the room. The only sounds were that of the storm starting outside. The rain pattering against the window, the fiercely-howling wind, and the occasional crack of thunder were the only things that reminded them that time still passed.

After a few minutes, Keir spoke up. “But why are we even discussing this? Shouldn’t we wait for Saint to arrive, so we can fill him in on the details? Because you know that he knows Yume better than anyone...”

“Of course. He is her guardian, her protector. The only one who could know more about Yume than him is Yume herself.” Mishnu again turned from the windows, and looked straight at the door to her chamber. “And he is here.”

“What...” Keir began, but just then the door to Mishnu’s chamber burst open and in walked Saint, looking very wet and very concerned.

“Mishnu, where is Yume? What had transpired that you could not tell me through the Ethereal Net?” Saint asked in a commanding tone.

“Much has happened, Saint, and since we needed you anyways for the task at hand, I felt that it would be best if we told you the story in person.” She gestured to the chair that Keir had vacated. “Please, take a seat.”

Saint reluctantly sat down. “Who are these two men, and what is their purpose here?” he inquired, gesturing at Keir and Darius.

“These two men were the last people to see Yume. They shall tell most of this tale, though I do have a few pieces that I would like to add. Darius, if you would please.”

Darius began to tell the tale of what had happened two nights earlier. Occasionally, Keir would switch with Darius and continue the tale, and twice Mishnu interrupted to add her own little bit. As Saint listened, his heart grew more and more uneasy, until finally he had been told the entire story. After a moment of silence, he asked Keir, “How did you know that Yume was the daughter of the Creator? Only the highest members of the Eternal Council and myself knew of that secret.”

“When one is ethereal, secrets are a lot easier to get a hold of. I know many things that the Council would reveal to nobody else.” Keir responded.

“Ethereal?”

“Saint, this is Keir, the man who stopped his brother from destroying the Multiverse two years ago. He has a body now, but before he existed only as a ‘ghost of reality,’ able to do anything he pleased.”

Saint’s eyes widened. “This... is Keir? I always expected him to be a lot bigger...” He turned back to Mishnu. “But you see, the main problem I have is that I have yet to tell Yume of her heritage.”

Mishnu was taken aback by this. “What? You didn’t tell her? Then that means...”

“Yes. Somebody else must have told her. Which means that someone else must know what she is...”

“...and wants to take advantage of her powers.” Mishnu finished Saint’s sentence for him. “Well, that settles it. We must begin our search for Yume immediately, before whoever set her on this path takes advantage of her. Septerrus!” she called, and through the door came a most beautiful woman. Her long green hair seemed to glow with life, and she walked as if she wasn’t touching the ground at all.

“I knew you would call me, Mishnu.” Septerrus spoke in a voice that was as pure as crystal. “And I knew what you would want from me. Vicers!” She stood aside, as four soldier came through the door and stood at attention in front of Mishnu’s desk. “We are ready when you are,” Septerrus replied to Mishnu’s unspoken question.

“Very well, then. Keir, Darius, you do not need to come with us if you do not wish.”

“I know that, Alpha, and though I do not know how much help I may be in this journey, I still wish to come with you and do my part.” Darius bowed low to Mishnu, sealing his fate.

Keir also bowed. “’The Company of the Ring shall be Nine; and the Nine Walkers shall be set against the Nine Riders that are evil.’”

Everyone stared at Keir blankly. Then Saint let out a laugh in spite of himself. “Your memory of Tolkien is excellent, Keir, but I fear your quote is out of place. We seek not to destroy a great power, like the Fellowship did, but to save one.”

“Hey, I’m just glad to find somebody else around here who has read Earth literature.”

“Silence!” Mishnu commanded. “My spell needs concentration.” She raised her arms above head, and white light began to form into a sphere between her hands. The light grew slowly at first, but then Mishnu dropped her hands, and the light expanded violently, engulfing everyone in the room. When the light dissipated, they were gone.

Round Two Location: The Gold Saucer (Final Fantasy VII)
Begin Time: 10:00 PM MST, Tuesday Night
Ending Time: 8:00 PM MST, Wednesday Night

The Gold Saucer is a giant amusement park rising out of the desert. From the outside, it looks like a large golden tree, with various branches sticking out in all directions. Inside, there are eight main areas, each one in a different branch:

- Station Square: This area has the main entrance to the Gold Saucer, and a trolley to North Corel that you aren’t actually allowed to take, since you can’t leave. Occasionally, a man appears here, willing to sell people GP, the official currency of the Gold Saucer.
- Event Square: This is the area that you started in. It’s essentially just a large amphitheatre, with a lot of seating and a stage.
- Ghost Square: A large haunted mansion, run by a group of employees dressed as various spooky creatures. Contains an item shop and an inn, both of which are headed up by the hilarious Mr. Hangman, who drops from the ceiling as soon as somebody wants something. Be warned, though; the inn portion only accepts GP.
- Speed Square: A long hallway from the entrance leads you to the Shooting Coaster, an attraction that only accepts GP. On the coaster, you try to earn points by shooting targets in various themed areas. If you get a certain amount of points, you win a crappy prize, which could be a toy soldier, a fake sword, or a tissue. Do really well, however, and you could win a new weapon.
- Wonder Square: One of the most popular places in the Gold Saucer, Wonder Square is filled with different arcade games. These accept normal currency to play, and should you do well, you can earn various amounts of GP, as well as other prizes. Among the attractions are an arm-wrestling game, a basketball game, several of those claw machines, an automatic fortune teller, a boxing simulator, a virtual-pet-like game involving a moogle named Mog, a submarine battle game, a snowboarding simulator, and G-Bike, in which you try to protect a truck from enemy motorcycles by attacking them with a sword and your own bike. There is also a person who will exchange GP for various useful items.
- Chocobo Square: Here, you can either bet on chocobo races, or you can race one yourself should you own one. The track itself runs around the outside of the Gold Saucer, and use holographs to create a virtual environment for the chocobos to race in. You can either win items or GP in Chocobo Square, after betting normal currency.
- Battle Square: Your battling skills will be tested here, for after paying 10 GP, you will be put in battles against increasingly harder monsters. The longer you stay in without dying, the more Battle Points you’ll earn, but you keep getting more handicaps as you fight. Battle Points can be exchanged here for some of the greatest items in existence. You can also visit Dio’s trophy room, where there’s a variety of historical artifacts that relate to war and battle.
- Round Square: Here, you can pay to take a gondola ride above most of Gold Saucer, where you’ll be able to see down into most of the squares. Highlights include a close-up look at the chocobo races, passing through the Shooting Coaster, and a view of the cat statue at the top of Gold Saucer.

All these areas are connected by a tubular transport system; jump in one tube and arrive almost instantaneously in another square. Throughout the Gold Saucer, you’ll encounter patrons, employees, and mascots dressed as fat chocobos. Also, the eight heroes of Final Fantasy VII may show up for a well-deserved break from saving the world, and they may take offence to you being so violent and intervene. So expect to see Cloud, Tifa, Barrett and the rest running around the Gold Saucer as well. But don't expect Aerith. You know why.

---

Okay, and a quick note before we go: There are three things that can heal characters in the tournament: Prayer, Aura, and R-Votes. None of these can be cast on your own character, so the 20 of you that tried casting an Aura with yourself as one of the targets last round, don't try it again.

San Draco
The Man in Scales (MIS!)

Chaos could feel his body shifting from the Garden, into another time and place. Where am I?

A completely valid question for the demon, for the flashing lights and loud noises were like nothing he had ever experienced before. Especially the large roller coaster that wizzed around him, with its screaming occupants.

Foolish mortals. They hold desperately onto life, knowing that the harder they grasp it, the faster it seems to slide through their fingers. They are nothing more than pawns for those that hold true power.

The so-called "Alliance of Darkness" was assembled in the same part of the Gold Saucer. Zoma turned toward the golden demon, and held out his hand. "I see that thou hast survived the first round. Indeed, I hadst thought that thou wouldst have been defeated. But, fear not! Our alliance grows stronger in each moment. Soon, no one shall be able to stand against us."

Chaos slowly surveyed the land around him. "This place seems to be inhabited by the weak and soft. We should have no problems with the locals. Are you ready?"

The others nodded. "Then, let us go!"

Zoma of the Dark Alliance

The Dark Side Liveth! :D

Zoma cast his eyes about him, searching the colorful spectacle all around. Strangely, many of the warriors who had chosen to aid him or at least had promised not to attack were gathered around, equally disoriented.

"Fellow Dark Ones! I seeest that thou and I hath been transported to this most unusual locale. Nevertheless I feel the absence of four that wert among the Enemy last I recall. 'Tis truly an odd thing...."

Chaos spoke also, telling them of the weakness of the human inhabitants around. "After all," he added, "I didn't hear a warning from the girl about the 'civilians' in this place and time...."

"Thou speakest truth, Fiend of Time. I agree. What sayest all in thine assemblage? Shall we scatter to seek our prey, or remain as one to battle together? I am a Master Archfiend, but I be not thy Master." his voice's echoes faded into the din of multitude of people around, who seemed to be just now noticing the two-dozen-odd newcomers.

"Before thou goest... some of thee possesseth unseemly marring from the last melee. I believe thou couldst use some assistance." And so saying, he reached into the pockets of his robes.

To the sinister clown he handed a Medical Herb. "Useth thee this if thou receiveth a wound. Thou hast much havoc to wreak in this world, oh Mightiest of the Esper-Masters." Zoma mixed the praise with an undercurrent of warning. "Remember to restrain thy involite rage for a moment. Thou possesseth allies here."

Zoma then turned to Rubicant. "I wilt not forget how thou camest to me first, Fiend of Flame. I grant thee this."

And with a display Zoma tossed a small package in red silk to Rubicant.

The elemental glanced at him, puzzled. "What is this?"

"A powerful fiery explosive. Thou needest only to spark it to release a blast of flame, which healeth thyself and couldst harm one near thee."

Zoma then turned lastly to the powerful Mana-wielding human. "I hath met thy condition, Julius. What sayest thee now?"

Ride ze shoopuf?

Aaah, Gold Saucer. Here we go.

--------------------------
No sooner than Bowser had finished scarfing down the hot dogs in the Balamb Garden cafeteria, he was immediately transported someplace new. Looking around, Bowser saw a large sign reading STATION SQUARE and a man standing beside a large trolley. Bowser approached this man in his normal intimidating fashion.

"You, I order you to tell me where I am."

"You don't know where you are? What are you, drunk? This is the Gold Saucer, the greatest amusement park in the entire world!"

"Amusement...you mean, like, fun?"

"Why of course, say, do you want to buy some GP? They are the currency of this place and you can't do anything without them. I'll sell you 100 GP for 1000 gil. Thats a deal!"

"THE KING OF KOOPAS DOES NOT BARTER WITH MERE MORTALS! I will take your...gee pee...and enjoy myself here." And with that, Bowser grabbed the man by the ankles and shook loose all of his GP. Placing handful after handful in his pouch, Bowser sat the man down as another man approached.

"Hey, Frank, you're late! Get to Event Square right now! And don't tell Dio you wore the costume home!" Before Bowser could argue, he was being pushed onto a stage in front of a large audience.

"An audience?" Bowser thought to himself, "but I'm not ready for an audience! I haven't even practiced yet! What if Yume sees me out here? She'll think I'm such a loser! No Bowser, don't get emotional...no...don't you dare cry on stage....NOOOO!!!"

And with that, the Koopa King burst into tears on stage, just as the heroic knight came onto the scene.

"I am Harry the Knight, I have come to slay you dragon, and retrieve Princess Pea Sha!"

"Princess Peach? Where?" Bowser exclaimed.

"Why you knave," Harry replied, "you have her there! Unhand her!"

Bowser turned to see a pretty young lady tied to a stage prop of what appeared to be a tree. Pretty yes, but Peach she was not. And certainly not of the same beauty as Yume.

"This old bag, eh, you can have her."

Bowser hoisted the young lady up and threw her to the knight Harry, knocking him off the stage. To his surprise, a roar of approval came from the crowd.

"Yeah, you show him! We're tired of seeing the good guys win!" came a remark from the audience.

"Hmmm..." Bowser began thinking, "I don't want to disappoint my audience...mwahahahaha...."

And with a maniacal laugh, Bowser approached the Knight Harry and Princess Pea Sha, as they slowly began to realize this was not a fellow thesbian on stage, but a real monster. However, before Bowser cound enact his evil scheme, a loud voice came over the intercom.

"SECURITY BREACH IN THE GOLD SAUCER! WE HAVE UNAUTHORIZED GUESTS! ALL TOURISTS PLEASE RETURN TO YOUR ROOM WHILE SECURITY DEALS WITH THESE PROBLEMS. THANK YOU."

"Huh, security. Thats not my bag, baby." Bowser remarked as he exited the stage. However, the Koopa King couldn't resist one last curtain call. One young lady threw a rose onto the stage, screaming "I love you Bowser!" At this point, Bowser's heart proceeded to melt. However, not one to show his sensitive side (yeah, right) Bowser made his hasty retreat before security arrived.

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

To be continued....mwahahahaha....

Nif
The Angels' Fear

The busy, new surroundings were even more unsettling than the school setting Randi was in before. He was in a room where he could see people placing bets on different colored birds. Probably a race. He thought.

He stood silent for a moment, adjusting his eyes to the new surroundings. The ethereal movements he just experienced had sucked the energy right out of him. So much, that he didn't notice the tall, burly man eyeballing him.

"You look like you'd be good in a fight," the man said. Randi turned to see him. He resembled some sort of Greek Hero, although he sounded like his ego was ten times larger than he was. "My name is Dio. I've just lost my prize fighter and the spectators are becoming extremely restless. Do you think you could do me a favor and fight in my arena? I'll make it worth your while."

Randi cupped his face in his hands. "You wouldn't happen to have any food would you?"

Dio let out a great laugh and slapped Randi on the back, almost knocking him to the ground. "Food he says! I like you, kid. Fight for me and I'll give you a feast fit for a king! It's not like you have a choice, though. Everything here costs GP and the only way to get that is to win it."

Randi moaned and nodded his head. A few small battles shouldn't be too much trouble.

- Sponsor :: Rydia -

Rydia felt the shift and awoke from her rest inside a dark space. Not so much dark, as dimly lit. She stood and stumbled, adn the whole thing seemed to shift - move even. She leaned against a wall, and noted a window. She crept over, and looked out.

Then she wished she hadn't.

She was far above what appeared to be the desert floor, and hanging rather precariously (her opinion of it anyway) off some wire. This thing was moving, and she fervently hoped it would take her back to solid ground. Thankfully, it did, but not before an impressive display os some beautiful magic flashes in the darkened sky.

She disembarked, and made her way away form the cart. She heard something unnerving, a grating awful sword than gave her the feeling something good wasn't up. Something akin to the last place. I take it we're uninvited guests, she thought, looking at the portals before her. She saw one with a familiar picture.

"Chocobo!" she cried, and headed through that portal. When she exited after a rather unnerving but somewhat thrilling ride, she was astonished at the tower that rose before her. She started up the steps but spotted something lurking ahead. Her eyes narrowed as she saw them. She watched him draw his sword and she stepped back.

"I am no match for your blade, but perhaps..."

I summon the power of Ramuh...

"...a shocking experience might enlighten you to the power of magic!"

A rather old man suddenly appeared before her, and winked at her before firing a bolt at the charging swordsman. Knocked off balance he stumbled down the stairs, knocking Rydia over and into a tunnel, sending her through another wild trip. She was ejected high into the air - flailing limbs rapidly as she struggled to right herself for landing - and plopped on the gruond elsewhere.

"Ooooooo! That hurt! And to top it off, Ramuh is being an old senile perv again." She brushed ehrself off and checked for all her stuff before moving on. Her thoughts musing elsewhere,s he headed for the entrance to this new area.

FFOS6: Zio

Zio could remember nothing between being in one building and appearing in the next. When he came to his senses in the new locale, he was assaulted with bright lights, dinging noises, and laughing people everywhere.

Though he was accustomed to bright, flashy lights of Nervus, the rest of these things were unnerving; especially the laughter.

He walked up to one of the machines; a synthetic man was holding out his arm as if he wished to grasp the arm of another person. Upon further examination, he found a set of Rules; from what he could gather, one was supposed to put money in the available slot and push against the man's arm and if one could push the man's arm to down to the table, he would win a "GP". What ever that was supposed to be.

Shrugging, as he could see no other contestants in sight yet (therefore no mayhem to cause), he pull some Meseta out of a pouch around his waist. Holding up the coin, he attempted to push it into the slot on the side of the machine, but it was too large.

"They must have some different form of money," Zio thought to himself. "Meseta will be worthless here."

With a sigh, Zio glanced around the room. Spotting a kid sitting at another machine in the room, he strolled over to him and asked the child a queston.

"What do you use for money?"

The kid's only response was a blank stare, as if to say are you stupid?

"What do you use for money?" he repeated, his voice raised slightly.

"Gil, you dumb ass." the kid held out a few coins. "This what we use? Ain't you never seen it before? Are you from Wu Tai? I hear they're a buncha freaks there who--"

Zio had had enough fo the insults. He pulled back a gloved fist and smashed the kid in the face, breaking his nose. "Give me your gil." It wasn't a question. Before the kid could respond, Zio had snatched the gil from his hand and dumped it into an empty pouch.

The boy's eyes lit up in fear and pain. Tears streamed freely down his cheeks, mingling with the blood flowing from his nose. "You! You bastard! SECURITY!" the boy yelled amidst his sobs. "SECURI--mphf!" His screams for help were silenced as another fist crashed into him, knocking him out cold.

Luckily, few others were in the room at the time; of those that were, they all seemed too engrossed in their games to have noticed. Zio walked back over to the synthetic man and placed some gil in the slot. It slid in perfectly and the synthetic man's eyes lit up; his arm came to life.

Zio placed his palm against the man's and the game began. Pushing against it with all his might, he still could not seem to get it budge very far. Zio's patience had already been tried; he did not wish to be defeated by a mere machine.

"Shift!" he said, casting the spell of strength. Zio's muscled tensed, adrenaline flowing through his veins as the spell gave him a renewed power.

With another, final push, Zio not only put the man's arm to the table, but broke it clear off! The machine sparked as it broke; the lights in the man's eyes went dead and the music coming from the base of the machine abruptly stopped playing. Scowling, Zio tossed the synthetic arm aside. This wasn't a very amusing diversion.

In a huff, he stomped to the other side of the room, coming upon an array of tubes which,, for some reason unbeknownst to himself, he instantly knew to be transportational devices.

Choosing one with a sign that said Round Square, he hopped in, feeling his body lurch as it propelled toward the other end of the tube.

Switchblade
Fire of Legend

I'm going to bed in a minute so I'll just quickly post this before I go to sleep.

The world of Garden suddenly faded before Julius's eyes, shortly replaced by a glittery and loud world totally alien to him. As he did in the first round Julius reached out with his Mana powers, quickly surveying his surroundings. He was in a place called the Golden Saucer, a large casino located above a barren desert. He was able to detect a Chocobo track, a game parlor, and a battle arena which put to shame that of his old ally the Dark Lord.

As he scanned the area Julius also located the members of the so-called Dark Alliance. He briefly considered going to join them, but ultimately decided against it. Fighting had yet to break out, and so far Julius had no pressing need of the Alliance. They would seek him out and enlist his aid, then and only then would he join them.

Julius turned towards the battle arena, deciding to briefly indulge in some nostalgia before the warfare broke out again.

Sephiroth666
FFOS6 Siegfried

The Gold Saucer rocked with the force of the tournament fighters. Great detonations from reckless mages illuminated the Squares. Metal colliding metal sent sparks from weapons of bloodlusting warriors. Lucky spectators of the Golds Saucer watched in awe as death was a breath's distance away.

A fat Chobobo mascot waltzed into the fray, his yellow feathers amidst the wind of the battle. The fluffy yellow suit made him stand out in the middle of the battlefield. Several fighters stopped their relentless assault to gaze at the plump Chocobo, wondering how could a civilian sum up the courage to go into the battlefield.

"A shame to die so badly in this tournament, " the mascot announced. "Death comes to all, the four warriors in the previous round lost and defeat often exacts to the same price..." The fluffy feathers waved in the air as he made a suspicious gesture, "But..."

The audience gasps as the puffy-cheeked Chocobo head bounced on the floor with a squeak as the mascot revealed his identity, "A victory that leaves you dead is no victory!" The dark helmeted warrior grips his massive blade and swings it through the air,"Dead bodies only feed cows! Better yet is to leave your enemy alive to give you homage and spread word of his defeat..."

Siegfried charged into the battle, his great sword raking the ground with sparks, "But I have yet to learn of the word defeat!!!"

The Angels' Fear

The two candies Randi ate restored his HP, but he was still hungry. A smile appeared on his face. All I have to do is fight a few monsters... he thought.

The first battle was with a rabbit creature. It was simple enough. The rabbit didn't even attack. All Randi had to do was strike once and it was down. The next battle brought two wolves. The first wolf unleashed a jumping strike towards Randi's head. The knight barely dodged the attack and stumbled to the ground. Guess I'm hungrier than I thought.

The mana knight stood back up and pointed his sword towards the beast. He spun around and cut down on the wolf, then turned to the second. He cupped his sword down then up in a bright flash and swooned the other wolf.

The crowd cheered as Randi sheathed his sword. He turned to them and waved. "I could get used to this," he said.


OOC: I'm off for tonight. Feel free to use Randi.

Locke Cole - FFOS6

"Dang, this place is amazing," Locke said in awe as he began his wanderings throughout the gold saucer, "But why do I get this strange feeling of Deja-vu? Bah, I'm sure it's nothing."

Seeing a large system of tubes, Locke shrugged and stepped into one labelled 'Wonder Square'.

Stepping out of the tube a barrage of wonderful smells assulted Locke's nose. Glancing around, he realized he was in some kind of food court. "I haven't eaten in a while, let's see what they've got here. Pizza, tacos, burgers, gyros, man what is all this stuff?"

Suddenly Locke's eyes widened. There, on a very bright neon sign, were the words 'HOT DOGS'. Though he still remembered the unpleasent experience from yesterday that had left him face down in a toilet for the better part of an hour, Locke couldn't resist the rumblings of his stomach.

"Three hot dogs please," Locke asked the cashier, a very stern looking man, "and don't skimp on the ketchup!"

"Three hot dogs, that's 10 GP," the cashier informed Locke in a very strict tone.

Suddenly upbeat, Locke responed, "You accept GP here? That's fantastic! I knew it was a good idea to bring some with me." Producing a small gold coin from his pouch, "here you are my good man."

"What's this?" The cashier responded, "I asked for GP, not children's play money."

"What are you talking about?" Locke asked, suddenly confused.

"You don't have GP? No hot dogs for you!" the cashier suddenly snapped, "Next!"

As if to accentuate his dissapointment, Locke felt his stomach rumble again, much louder this time. "Now where can I get me some GP?" Locke pondered. Looking off into a dark corner, Locke noticed a man lurking in the shadows. "Hello there," Locke thought to himself, thinking he had spotted an easy target.

Sneaking around the room and coming up behind him, Locke realized the man was wearing some type of ninja costume. "Must work here," thought Locke. Just as he was about to grab for him, however, the man turned around with lightning quick reflexes, a sword already in hand.

Still not realizing this was another tournament participant, Locke demanded, "Your GP or your HP!"

"Man, that is so lame." the masked figure responded.

"Huh? Hey, I'm serious here." Suddenly, Locke's target lunged forward. Barely dodging the stroke, Locke realized the sword was no fake. This man was obviously another contestant. With no weapons at ready, Locke did the only thing he could think of.

"Aagh," the ninja screamed, as Locke's foot made contact with his crotch. Not wanting to stick around, Locke immediately left the scene. "Now where am I supposed to find me some GP?"

Zoma of the Dark Alliance

Zoma watched Julius's retreating back with interest. The human had made no decision as of yet, and the Archfiend did not want to push him, and thereby needlessly alienate a potential ally.

Nevertheless, by speech we hath made a Shadow Pact. And such shouldst not be easily broken. I must remind this mortal of what exactly he doth risk in this matter.

Zoma started down the hallway that led to a collection of tubes that seemed to provide rapid transport to the humans who resided at the so-called Gold Saucer. Julius, it appeared, was heading for the one labeled "Battle Arena." Ah, this man art a warrior. I must needs examine this, also.

Zoma turned to address the other Dark Ones behind him. "I must speak with Julius. If thou needest me, thou canst easily find me. Thou hast but consume some of thy power and call for me, and I canst detect even that." His powerful voice gradually diminished, the echoes drowned out by the scattered humans still staring at the group.

As Zoma turned back around to see Julius, he caught the unmistakable sign of fur and sinew-- the massive creature known as Umaro. Zoma could not see any of his allies; but then, the moogle could easily be hidden in his shadow, and the human named Locke had revealed himself elsewhere. If he art alone, 'tis time I paid him back....

Zoma raised a palm toward Umaro, and jagged lightning erupted from his hand. The Zap spell blasted Umaro and knocked him down. The Archfiend then reflexively created a Barrier around him to ward off possible attacks.

Julius heard the commotion just behind him and turned, his face contorting in either a smirk or grimace as he appraised Zoma.

"And what do you want now, Archfiend?"

"Only the answer to a riddle that hath confounded me. I hath survived the first round, and thus met thy requirement. Mine Eye canst sense that thou wisheth for me to make the gesture of partnership. Here am I."

And for the second time, Zoma offered his respect to a mortal human. A massive blue-skinned hand reached toward Julius's right arm, and halted before him. "Thy strength is grand indeed. 'Tis conceivable that the influence of one wilt change everything; aye, for the balance between the Light and Dark is tenuous, as is our victory. The time mayeth yet come for our battle of supremacy, Emperor... but our chances for both of us to reach it art greatest if we cooperate until then."

Indigo skin and blood-red claws contrasted sharply with the small, though possibly no less weak, hand of Julius.

"What sayest thou now?"

One attack vote for Umaro (no hard feelings, I hope-- just trying to continue the story and give you a good place to jump in)

Use of Ex-Barrier for 3 P-votes. Blocks the next three Rogue votes.

FFOS6: Zio

Zio entered the Round Square, where his eyes were immediately drawn to the oddly shaped vehicles (at least, he asumed they were vehicles, because they seemed to be transporting people) which were suspended on cables high above the ground. Glancing around for a sign (of which he quickly realized this place was fond of posting), he guessed that the name of the things were gondolas. "How inane," he thought to himself.

With a shrug of his shoulders, Zio approached a man who seemed to be taking money to allow passage onto the cable-cars.

"Here," he said, showing some gil to the ticketmaster. "Let me pass. Now."

The man was slightly taken aback, but at least the man in black had offered him gil. He decided it best nto to question; taking the gil from Zio, the man stepped aside and allowed the black mage passage.

Soon Zio was suspended high in the air; he was treated to a sprawling view of the building. And who better than to catch his eye from so far out of reach than the blue-furred Motavian?

Zio sneered. "This should be too easy," he thought to himself. Raising his hands in the air, his eyes focused upon Gryz who stood far below, Zio chanted a powerful spell.

"T-A-N-D-L-E-!"

His voice seemed to echo throughout the upper levels of the building as sparks of electricity conjugated in a single area of the sky. Each spark melding with the next, they became giant bolts of electricity which spiraled downard toward the Motavian, striking him with a force which knocked him from his feet, continuing to jolt him for several moments as the man convulsed upon the ground.

Success. An easy, if only temporary, victory the black mage. A twisted grin curled across his lips; Gryz's pain becoming Zio's pleasure.

It was not long before the gondola, continuing on its steady course, had moved into another room; Zio lost all sight of Gryz. What he did see, however, were giant chickens with riders upon their backs. They seemed to be in a race of sorts, but why they were racing he could not be sure. That didn't matter. It was something with which to interfere; Zio would play his own, twisted games.

"Hewn!" shouted Zio as he pointed his palm toward racer at the front of the pack. The mighy gusts of wind which issued forth at his command collided with the rider and its chicken, knocking both off of the track and sending them far down to the ground below.

"Flaeli!" he shouted, pointing at the chicken in the back. Its tailfeathers set ablaze as several fire balls struck it with force. The startled and confused chicken hauled off faster down the track, quickly surpassing all that were ahead of it as its fear invoked the instinct to flee.

Zio couldn't help but chuckle to himself. For what ever reason they were racing, the slowest chicken just became first place, sure to attain what ever prize may await for it at the end of its line.

The amused black mage finished the gondola ride uneventfully and headed off to what ever dark corner he could find to catch his breath; he suddenly realized he had not slept in days.

ArchKnightWayne: None taken. But I'm not a Rouge, I'm a Shadow. Umaro may be good natured, but his stupidity, and his primal nature cause him to be incredibly violent. As displayed below....
________________________________________________

Umaro looked at his new surrounding warily. The lightning blast from Zoma had flung him into a nearby transport tube, bringing him to Ghost Square. "This place creepy..." The yeti stated. The sky was dark and filled with black clouds, turning bright white as lighting flashed across. Seeing a suspicious house up on the nearby hill, Umaro decided to test his luck and enter.

The interior was just as disturbing. Various skulls and phantoms filled the dimly lit room. Umaro wondered if he should turn around and run out of the building when he noticed a small bell. He remembered seeing one of these in his world when he and Mog traveled with the humans. One of the humans, the one that repeatedly tried to arm wrestle him, tapping on such a bell to get a room.

This was when the sasquatch realized how tired he was. He hadn't slept at all the day before the tournament (too exited), and the first round had been very taxing on him. Deciding to rest, he tapped on the bell to summon the innkeeper.

It was at that moment that Umaro recieved the biggest scare of his entire life.

A high pitched shriek filled the air as a half decayed man hanging from a noose around his neck plumeted from above. "welco-Urgh!" Was all the hangman could say before Umaro gave him a hard left to the chin. The impact caused the actor to swing from the rope to the wall behind him.

Umaro thought he had beaten the swinging zombie, but was terrified when he saw it swinging back at him. Thinking fast, Umaro drew out his bone club, and sidestepped the hapless Gold Saucer attendant, turning and swinging with his club at the hangman as he passed. This impact sent him slamming into the ceiling.

"Hah! Got him and- Z0MBlE COME BACK!!!!!! " The yeti thought horrified as the hangman swung back down. Resorting to his last trick, Umaro breathed in, and let out his storm attack on the innkeeper, causing him to flap helplessly against Umaro's wind as he repeated his storm several times. To top off the poor actor's bad luck, the rope holding him broke, sending him flying out the door of the inn, and out of sight.

A few people had been in the lobby and saw the whole ordeal. They justed stared at the sasquatch in stunned silence, lightly covered in snow from Umaro's mini-blizzard. Umaro panted, completely exhuasted by his life and death struggle with the flying killer ghoul(atleast that's what he thought it was).. Walking up the stairs, he found an empty room, and collapsed onto the bed.

Outside of the inn, the actor who played "Mr. Hangman" muttered "I need a vacation..." before slipping into unconsciousness.

Again, Driscoll's vision blurred as he opened his eyes. My arms... they were hurt... but there is no pain now...

Shaking his head to remove the cobwebs, he looked around - and his eyes widened at his surroundings - bright, vibrant colours, cheerful music...and snow? "What kind of place for a tournament is this?" he muttered - and got a reply!

"Why, sir, this is the perfect place for a tournament! Through this tube here lies the Battle Arena, the tournament of champions! Step right up for the fight of your life! Are you man enough for the challenge?"

Driscoll smiled, a strange smile which had nothing to do with humour. "You think that's the fight of my life? You've never been in a war, have you? You've never fought on while around you, comrades and friends dropped like flies, people you've known all your life? Don't talk to me about the ultimate battle. I've fought the ultimate battle. Your battle square, and the other tournament, these are just skirmishes. And that's why I'll win. This way, you say?"

The startled chocobo-suited man nodded, and Driscoll jumped down the chute. The man waited to be sure he was gone, and then hit a com switch on the wall. "Um, Security? I think we have a potential trouble-maker here.."

Edit to include Curley's post slightly

MINIGAME!!!!

"TYPO HUNTER."

Objective: I've intentionally placed six typos into my previous post. If you find one, I'll cast an OOC R-vote on you. But if you can find all six typos, I'll use any P-vote ability(that cost two or less P-votes) on any character of your choosing!(except for me of course)

Rules:
1. Point out, and describe the typo. Don't just say you found one.

2. First come, first serve. You can't just repeat other people's typos.

3. Sponsors only. Those R-votes wouldn't help you sidekicks and fallen anyway.

4. If I'm out of R-votes, I'll use an A-vote on the character of your choosing.(again, unless it's me)

Now go find those typos!

The Main Moogle

Mog started to wander around the Gold Saucer to get an idea of the layout. Everywhere he went, all he could think about was how bright it was. But he hadn't gone far before he stumbled across a gathering of evil contestants. They spoke of a "Dark Alliance". That's not good, Mog thought. I'm not sticking around here! Mog turned around and dove straight into a tube. "Umph!" He was ejected from the tube and onto the ground. It wasn't as bright here, he quickly realized. Up on a hill stood a creepy-looking building. Mog got up and walked to the haunted hotel. He entered to find that the place had been frosted over. "What the-" he began, but then he was forced to laugh as he saw Umaro standing across the room. Mog did a dance that filled the room with a warm glow, melting the frost and making the yeti feel much better. "Kupo!"

Driscoll stumbled out of the chute - If I went in vertically, why do I come out horizontally? - and stopped as a blue-garbed soldier pointed a gun at him. Driscoll folded his arms and tapped a foot. "Might I ask why you're pointing that at me?"

The soldier replied in a nervous voice "It's my job, mister - we've had a report you were causing trouble."

Trouble? All I've done so far is get snowed on and talk to some guy in a chicken suit..man, they're touchy here.

"OK, I'll turn my self in willingly.." he said, walking towards the soldier with his hands in the air. "Uh, sir, would you please stay where you are?"

"How can you arrest me if I'm over here?" three more steps...

"I can escort you to security, I think.." two...

"Now now, surely if I entered there armed, I'd be a threat, don't you want to disarm me?" one...

"Well... um, ok.." - and Driscoll elbowed him in the face, grabbed the gun before it hit the ground and aimed it at the soldier's face.

"I'm sorry about this, kid, but you don't leave an enemy behind you in a battle, they might stab you in the back." He mad to squeeze the trigger, and a hand grabbed his firmly. He turned to follow the arm up to... "Yume!"

The girl frowned. "I said no killing, Commander."

Driscoll smiled his cold smile again. "You said no killing civilians. This isn't a civvy. Hell, I never kill civvies. But it's not sound tactics to leave an enemy behind you, ma'am."

Yume released her hand. "I won't stop you. But it won't achieve anything." And she span on her heel, and walked into one of the chutes. Driscoll shrugged - he had expected more of an arguement than that - and pulled the trigger.

OOC: Curley - I think we'll Paralyze... *looks at master list* oo, for storyline amusement value, Mog. Hm, I shoulda been dark...

Siegfried entered the highly lighted room. Strange repetitive sounds of beeps, buzzes, and pings can be heard all around. "What is this place? Magic?" the dazed warrior wondered. Blinded by the multi-colored light he bumps into a large metallic object witha heavy thunk."What could this be?..." Siegfried regains his vision and finds

himself staring at a machine that had the encryptions "TYPO HUNTER!" on it.

"There seems to be text in it..."

**************** TYPO HUNTER! ****************

Before the angered barbarian can do more damage to the helpless machine, Gold Saucer security takes him away. Shouting and screaming Siegfried was thrown down a pit... a pit of... desert? The sign read, "Corel Prison" under it small letters read, "Of course you haven't committed a crime. What you did was fail to comply with the law."

However, I will write the Paralyze attack into the story, since it's my fault that you didn't know Baka.

Slinging his newly-acquired machine gun over his shoulder, and sheathing his sword again, Driscoll walked slowly up the stairs to the battle arena. Inside, he noticed a girl sitting at a desk, and several people wandering around muttering to themselves. Walking to the desk, he lean forward and looked the girl in the eye.

"I want to fight. Somewhere where security aren't going to stop me."

The girl stammered out a reply - "u-um that's the battle ar-arena, sir, would y-you like to enter?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, sir. That'll be 10GP."

Driscoll unsheathed his sword and began to clean it obviously. "How much again?"

"Um... f-free to you, s-sir! P-please enter!"

"That's what I like to hear." Turning abruptly, he walked up to the doors, which opened for him, and walked through.

He found himself in a circular arena, with an inscription on the floor - he made to read it, then turned as a giant warrior charged at him. Crouching into a spring, Driscoll smiled the cold smile again, then let out a cry and charged. Ducking the giant's first attack, he swung his sword round into the back of it's legs, and fired the machine gun into it's back. The giant fell to the floor, motionless.

Breathing more heavily now, he looked at the walls and shouted "Can't you give me someone a bit more challenging?"

Sweat dripped down his face...

Slipstream
Emperor of Fire

I looked bemusedly at the package that Zoma chose to grant to me at the start of this round. It is not as if I need any item which releases a blast of flame, since I am easily capable of creating such pyrotechnics myself, but the gesture is appreciated. Besides, who knows? This tournament may surprise me yet, and I may find some small use for it.

However, I am somewhat disgusted to find that the clown man - Kefka, I have heard someone call him - is part of our alliance, but then he is also one with Darkness. Maybe it is myself who does not belong amongst such a gathering? Still, there must be some reason Zoma offered him a place, and I will abide by that decision until Kefka gives me any reason not to.

Looking around, I take in the sights of this current location - like the one before it, this 'Gold Saucer' appears to be of a time much more technologically advanced than our own. Is this to be a common ground for all of our arenas of combat? I sorely hope this is not the case, for the way the humans had distanced themselves from the elemental forces in their cocoon of technology was somewhat disturbing to me.

Moving into the main lobby of this area, I study what appear to be transport devices to each separate location of the tournament. One in particular, the 'Battle Arena' catches my attention and I step into the device, expecting to have to walk to the location along a tunnel.

Big mistake.

The intense vacuum catches me completely by surprise and, without my usual presence of mind to hold my shape in human form, my body rapidly separates into thousands of tiny flamelets which rush and dance down the tubings. I have no eyes nor other senses during this brief time, but I feel my flames pass through two other competitors who are unfortunate enough to be using the transport tubes at the same time.

When my flamelets eventually appear at my destination, I draw them back into myself and my usual humanic form reappears. Somewhat embarrased by the situation, I make a mental note not to use the transport tubes again and find another way around. Especially since my left hand appears to be missing and probably took a wrong turn somewhere along the line, and has reformed in a different area altogether.

OOC: One A-Vote to Setzer and Kain who were unfortunate enough to be in the transport tubes at the time.

Has anyone seen my hand, please?

Maybe you'll be able to challenge me again. I look forward to our next encounter.

Here you go Baka. And Merton, sorry about this, but he earned those P-votes.
_______________________________________________

Mog followed Umaro up the stairs, curious about why his pal had caused the small blizzard in the lobby.
When he walked into the room Umaro had entered, he found the sasquatch fast asleep on the bed, snoring loudly.

Mog frowned at his large friend, it was only the beginning of the second round, and Umaro of all people, was taking a nap. "Yume won't like this..." The moogle thought.to himself. He jumped onto the bed, and talked into Umaro's ear. "WAKE-UPO!" He shouted. Umaro didn't budge.

"C'mon, kupo!" Mog continued, shaking the large humanoid with all his might (which didn't move him much at all). "Yume said 'do you best'! You can't be sleeping on the job!" Umaro, slightly disturbed by Mog's shaking and yelling, rolled over onto his side, his face wincing due to some bad dream he was having that involved giant winged zombies that wanted his brain for a pudding recipe.

"Get...kupo...UP!" Mog yelled, now pulling on the yeti's arm in an attempt to get him out of the bed. Suddenly, Umaro swung his arm as hard as he could, sending Mog out a nearby window.

"ZOMBIES!!!" Umaro shrieked in horror.

"KUPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-*THUD!!!*"

"What that?!" Umaro said aloud. Awaked by his horrible dream. "Moggy?" He called out, almost positive he had heard a 'kupo'.

"Me hearing things" He concluded. He then layed back down, and went back to slepp. Outside, Mog had landed right next to Mr. Hangman on the stairs.

"Uhhh... Maybe a nap ain't such a bad idea..." He stated before passing out.
______________________________________________

Using Paralyze(2 P-votes) on Mog(Merton Dew)!

EDIT: involving typo hunter. no more unintentional typos will be accepted.. Please don't shove my mistakes in front of me.

Also, I just realized Baka missed three intentional typos, not one. (please forgive me. I'm part goldfish and thus, it is difficult to remember things past 5 minutes.) You can still recieve the overtime bonus for any one of these. However, once you find an I-typo, You are prohibited from guessing again. Attempting to do so despite my warning will result in me using Deathblow(Or some other attack) on you.

Hint: One of them was right under Baka's nose, and he missed it. Find it, and recieve two P-votes for me to use any way you want. Baka, You're still eligible for the overtime bonus.

The doors opened, and the second challenger stepped into the arena. Driscoll snarled, sweating heavily now. "And you are?"

"Gryz. Shall we fight?"

"Yeah."

The bird-man attacked first, swinging his axe around in an attempt to cleave Driscoll in half. Springing agilely back, he thrust his sword out, grazing Griz's leg. Both combatants moved back momentarily.

"So why are you in this tournament?" Driscoll asked.

"I don't think it's any of your business." Gryz replied, readying his axe again. Driscoll let out a short bark of a laugh, and fired a burst from his gun, which the birdman deftly blocked with his axe.

"You'll have to do a bit better than that, human!" Spinning round, Gryz launched himself at Driscoll, smashing his axe into Driscoll's arm. He howled in pain, but his combat training called to him, and, ignoring the injury, he speared the birdman's side with his rapier and kicked Gryz away again. For the second time, the two backed off, this time to catch their breath. This time Gryz spoke, clutching his side.

"What about you? Why do you fight?"

"Why do I fight? It's what I do. It's my job. And you, my friend, are finished."

Raising his machine gun, he fired again. Gryz tried to raise his axe in time, but the bullets impacted first, and he flew backwards, thudding into the wall - the fight was over.

Driscoll wiped his now-bloody sword on Gryz's clothes and motioned for the unconcious fighter to be removed. Sweating more now, he clutched his left arm almost without realising it, and then pulled it away again as he felt a stickiness - looking at his hand, he realised it was blood...

-----

That's a vote to Gryz, doubled to 2. I don't remember seeing him...

Edit: Naw, I'll let someone else have the fun. Maybe Mog'll get it and send you back my way or something, that's the fun of the game!


...ah what the hell, no-one else is posting. "lighting"

Erk... How many real mistakes DID I make?! Sorry Baka, that's an Unintentional typo(or U- typo). Remember my hint, You just missed it the first time. I'll state all I-typos at the end of the round.

Also, to whoever win's two P-votes, You can use them to activate Beserk. I'll use my remaining A-votes(double damage) to attack up to three targets of your choice. I should have mentioned you'd have my A- votes if you picked berserk. Sorry again Baka.

Ugh... This minigame stuff is not all it's cracked up to be.

Lol, I did look, couldn't see anything close to my stuffs from before. Oh well.

Kk, I gotta go out for a bit, so I'll put up some defences. Driscoll is in a fighting tournament. The noble characters around won't want to sully themselves by fighting in it, will they? EX-Barrier: Noble.

Sponsor: Setzer

Setzer was on his way through the transit tubes when he heard a strange crackling sound coming from behind him. As Rubicante passed in his flame form, the gambler quickly tossed the five of diamonds into its path. The card burst into an icy cloud, which extinguished several of the flamelets. Then Setzer’s world went black. He reached up to his face as he exited the tube to find … Rubicante’s disembodied hand clinging on. Seeing the fire mage emerging from a nearby tube Setzer shouted, “Catch!” and threw the hand at him. It thudded against the side of his head before grasping his shoulder and scuttling down his arm to reattach at the wrist.

The gambler shook his head at the bizarre sight and walked off in the opposite direction. Realising that attacks could come in all manner of unexpected ways he cast EX-Barrier on himself. It wasn’t long before he came across Lutz, sat asleep up against a wall. Setzer delivered a swift kick to the ribs to try and rouse him, but it had no effect so he moved on.

- - - - - - - - - - -

Counter against Rubicante (1 Power vote) causing 2 attack votes of damage.
Also 1 regular attack vote against Rubicante.
1 attack vote against Lutz.
Setzer activated EX-Barrier against Dark (3 Power votes)

Remaining: 6 attack votes, 4 reverse votes, 4 power votes.


OOC: Sephiroth666, I get the feeling that no one would have voted against you if they had known how funny your writing is. Too bad you couldn’t make it here earlier in round 1.

He deals the cards as a meditation,
And those he plays never suspect.
He doesn't play for the money he wins,
He doesn't play for respect.

He deals the cards to find the answer,
The sacred geometry of chance.
The hidden law of a probable outcome,
The numbers lead a dance.

The Scarlet Magician

Driscoll was sitting on a bench by the fighting arena, expecting his next challenge. He was approached by a golden-haired man with a scarlet cape.

"So... you're my next challenger?" Driscoll said, looking at the red-caped wizard. He didn't look much, but then, in a place as crazy as this, appearances could be misleading.

"No." The man said bluntly. "My business with you is of different nature."

"Ahh... are you from this 'Alliance of Darkness' whatchma-call-it?" Driscoll asked, having already heard about the ever-growing alliance, and the Scarlet Magician didn't miss the flicker of irony in his voice.

"In a manner of speaking", the red-caped man answered. "And for your information, Commander Driscoll, I am Koren of Red Lotus. And for now, my dealings with you don't concern the alliance..."

Koren put his hand into his robes. Driscoll's eyes People who knew his name without having been introduced had always made him suspicious. Driscoll's hand twitched nervously towards the machine gun. If he makes one funny move, I'll blast him into smithereens-

Koren's hand came out, with a small jar, filled with yellow jam. "It appears to me as if you were wounded."

Driscoll watched the jar of jam incredulously, and then returned his face to Koren, his expression unchanging.

"I assure you, it's not poisoned", Koren said, sneering to Driscoll's suspicion. "As a matter of fact, it'll heal your wounds if you eat it. Now, Master Driscoll, I bid you farewell. Take care..." he said, with a voice that distinctly lacked the empathy that one would usually associate with such words. And, as if the whole procedure had been entirely normal, he turned around and walked away.

Driscoll frowned. He didn't like being in anyone's debt, much less someone who was so clearly out of his mind. He looked at the jam again. The whole concept struck him as so utterly pointless, that he couldn't help but smile.

Ah, well. I've heard of weirder things here...

And he tasted the jam, and it turned out to be quite delicious, and even with the first mouthful, he could feel his body strenghten and the pain flee from his wounded left arm.

Jam with healing effects? This just keeps getting better and better...

1 R-Vote to Driscoll.

Okay, I just realized why Baka never noticed the typo I kept hinting about. Due to how FFO display's text, "I"s and "l"s appear almost the exact same. So when I replaced the capital "I" with a lower case "l" in the "Z0MBlE"(I hid two typos in one word), he couldn't tell the difference because they were practically identical.

Needless to say, I feel like a complete idiot. So to make up for it, here's some goodies too make up for my crappy minigame.

First off, apologies to Baka for my screw ups.

I'm scratching that typo out, and increasing the P-vote reward by one. So now there's two chances to win 3 P-votes that you can have me use in any way you want.

Fallen and Sidekicks are now capable of finding typos to win P-votes. Now anyone can play.

Here are hints for the last two typos...

1. If this typo grow's, it won't be a typo anymore.
2. This one's a tiny little speck. But it's one speck too many.

And to top things off, I won't do this "typo hunter" crap again in the later rounds. I'm sorry if I annoyed people with my pitiful brainfart of a minigame.

Sponsoring Kefka......

Weeee! It's the Gold Saucer! Der yay!

GJ on the minigame, but... is "selling" votes allowed?


_______________________________________________

Kefka came to his senses after the sudden teleportation. It left him feeling strange, and he was practically blinded by all the flashing lights. This temporary state of confusion was ended by the familiar, yet deep and creepy voice of the entity standing next to him.

"So, thou art also here."

The demon whom Kefka got to know as Chaos was just about ready to start off into this new location.

"Well.... This place seems slightly disturbing, but that's no problem, hehehe."

"Maybe the Dark side should learn more of this 'technology'. Had we known of all this modern sorcery, surviving in our own worlds would have been easier!"

"Indeed!" - replied Zoma, who was also getting ready to go.

Kefka looked at the medical herb he recieved for a bit, then pocketed it.

"Right... I NEED to have a closer look at all this technology. And magic. Uweehehehee!"

Kefka jumped into the pipe that said "Battle Square"...
_______________________________________________


Err, no votes... I'll write more later, but this new time arrangement is really bad for me... 8PM MDT is 4AM for me, which is something I can't manage on a school day. Ah well.... I'll either finish up early, or have a REALLY long night.....

Also, a question: are the remeaining attack votes against us from the last round cumulative? That is, do our points start from 0, or are they added to the previous round's points?

EDIT: Is this the "tiny speck" typo? (extra period)

ghoul(atleast that's what he thought it was)..

*snip* fine...

Zoma of the Dark Alliance

Wow... a rather surprising inactivity. Chalk up to the morning, I guess... I'm iced in (no garage and gravel driveway) so work is giving me the morning off, and so now I'm basically stuck sitting behind the computer and watching sleet pile up on the car.

Curley, great idea to "liven" things up a little. I can't help much, though-- I'm a speed reader, and it's handy for reading text quickly but I frequently miss punctuation (something really annoying when I proofread my own writing ). By the way, I know Umaro's a Shadow-- I picked Rogue because that's the most common Ex-type left (at least I think it was when I checked).

Slipstream, I really should've expanded that, shouldn't I? Sorry. "Bombs" in Dragon Warrior are magical-- based on spells like Explodet (the third-strongest spell in Dragon Warrior III). One of those "bombs" could level a fortress. Sorry if you didn't know-- just wanted to give you a little something to help, since Rubicant's general "shooting flame at everything" doesn't give you very much to work with. Very unique method of attacking in the tube, too. I'd have never thought of that. Nice!

Baka, more cool stuff. I'm kinda curious as to how you'll bring the Wanzer in, though-- didn't Krizak say you could use it this time? Or did I miss something?

Sephiroth: I agree with Daigohji; that's some stuff you put in there. I for one am glad you came back.

Ufo Z: I think this round goes back to normal rules, meaning you can e-mail Krizak your votes this round if you don't have time to post.

And yeah, votes are reset; everyone starts over with Zero. (A good deal for guys like Munkwunk and I, who weren't that many votes shy of THE AXE.)

Wasn't there a question about Ex-Barrier earlier? I think Krizak's already answered by allowing it to be applied to votes that already happened. It seems that you can use Ex-Barrier retroactively as long as you specify which votes were undone (and make sure they're the right Ex-type).

Ufo Z; I think it's ok with Krizak because A) They have to earn it, and B) I'm the one casting, not them. They can't use my P-votes, but I can use them in whatever way they way.

As for your guesses, you're right on both count's. One problem though, I said before that YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO STOP GUESSING WHEN YOU GET ONE RIGHT! So erase one of those answers, or prepare for punishment: One solid Deathblow, and an A-vote.

The Man in Scales (MIS!)

Chaos looked around. It seemed that the Alliance had disperesed to seek their fortunes. As I must do, to remain alive in this place.

Chaos looked at the transport tubes. Stepping cautiously inside, he noticed the ceiling rapidly lowered as the tube went on. Soon, he realized, he would become stuck. Focusing his magic energy, he shouted, "I call the power of the ground! Cracks Call!"

Instantly, a large hole appeared beneath him on the transport tube. As the entire tube collapsed around him, Chaos flew down, into the Event Square. Apparently, a large turtle was entertaining a large group of humans. How sickeningly sweet. They do not see death, even though it hovers near them.

As the turtle was chased off by security, Chaos stepped to the very back row. Raising his voice enough so that all could hear him, Chaos shouted, "Time and Space mean nothing to those who are eliminated! All is Forever Zero!"

Violent, dark energy swirled around Chaos's right hand. Flinging it downward, the entire room seemed to shift and bend. One particular spectator leaped out of his seat. "What the *&!# is going on?"

Chaos smirked. "Temper, temper. It may be the end of you, some day."

The man, if anything, seemed to get even angrier. "You *@$!^#%! I don't know what the *&!# you mean, but you're going straight to #$%^!"

Chaos smiled a bit wider. "We shall see."

Instantly, all of the other occupants of the Square vanished. A blue-skinned demihuman strod in. Chaos bowed. "I know of you, Slash. I know of your pain, and your desire for retribution. For, I also have suffered under the humans. Let us unite together, and our dreams become the same."

Stepping closer, Chaos whispered, "The humans are stronger than you know. They cannot be defeated by one person, no matter how powerful. Together, we can eliminate the humans, and the world returned to its rightful owner. What is your answer?"
---

Vote Recap:

1 A-vote to Duran.

Slash has been invited to the Dark Alliance.

Switchblade
Fire of Legend

Just as Julius started for the battle arena he was halted by Zoma. "What do you want?" he asked, careful not to sound too demanding.

"Only the answer to a riddle that hath confounded me. I hath survived the first round, and thus met thy requirement. Mine Eye canst sense that thou wisheth for me to make the gesture of partnership. Here am I." Zoma extended his hand to the emperor, "Thy strength is grand indeed. 'Tis conceivable that the influence of one wilt change everything; aye, for the balance between the Light and Dark is tenuous, as is our victory. The time mayeth yet come for our battle of supremacy, Emperor... but our chances for both of us to reach it art greatest if we cooperate until then."

Julius paused to think, he had planned to wait before fully committing himself to the Alliance, to see if their union was indeed beneficial or if it simply made them a larger and more vulnerable target. It seemed, however, that Zoma would not give him the time required to wait and see. "What sayest thou now?" the archfiend demanded.

"Very well," Julius accepted, "My aid is yours." The archfiend smiled and allowed Julius to go on his way. No longer interested in seeing the arena Julius turned towards the game parlor, pausing to quickly hurl fireballs down two of the other access tubes. After hearing satisfying screams from those gateways Julius stepped into his tube.

He emerged in a realm of glaring lights and roaring laughter. Julius thought back momentarily on the earlier round, specifically recalling the small Moogle he had battled with. Julius smiled as a plan leapt to his mind. Reaching deep within his well of Mana power the last son of Vandole unleashed waves of magic throughout the Wonder Square. When the mystical assault ended every man, woman, and child in the square had been turned into a Moogle. Julius turned and left, laughing as he went. His humor stemmed not only from his act, but also from the fact that he had inadvertently caught one of his opponents in his attack.

For those of you who haven't played FFA Moogle is a status attack in that game. It turns a person into a Moogle who, although cuter than heck, can't use any attacks. I'm kinda altering it for my victim, however.
