Well, it looks like I'm out this round. I definitely won't be continuing as a Fallen, but I'll stick around to watch as a spectator.

Hey, never give up until the end, Luna my friend. I suspect I'll be out, but that doesn't mean I won't put up a good fight before the end, and who knows? Lady Luck might just help out the both of us yet.

By the way: This card game has to be the most interesting thing I've seen in a tournament, and definitely one of the most exciting.

This time, Driscoll found himself running through swarms of ghost-creatures, flapping and biting at him as he ducked, trying to keep his face covered as much as possible. They sure as hell don't teach you THIS in training! Ducking and rolling, he dodged a blast from one of those lightning towers, which fried a few bats instead, and came back up running again. Ahead of him, a green-haired girl stood, looking lost. For once, Driscoll decided against emnity and grabbed her arm as he ran past, dragging her behind him with a shout of "COME ON!"

Ahead of him, he could just make out a portal - and the girl dragged them to a halt, and pulled her arm free. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

Driscoll hopped from one foot to another, and pointed at the swarm of ghosts coming their way. "Saving your ass, you stupid woman! Now come on!" The girl folded her arms and turned away. "Well if you're going to insult me.." Driscoll flung his arms in the air. "Alright, fine. It's your funeral." Running off again, he could make out a bright light appearing behind him - possibly magic of some sort - but he didn't look back, as he jumped through the portal...

Chaos smiled at him. "Not as confident, are we? I will also put in three, and will trade in the Eight and King of Diamonds."

Glancing around, Chaos noticed that quite a few of the other competitors were watching. Turning to Setzer, he said, "It appears that we have attracted an audience, Setzer. It is too bad that this game will end with my next hand."

And falling through the other side of the portal, Driscoll just stopped himself before he crashed into... was that... he recognised the one man playing cards, but the other he didn't know.. and Yume? Eh? He slumped to the floor and felt his arm - still as painful as ever... and now his leg was playing up too - he must have landed badly going through the portal.

"So what's going on here then?"

The card-players seemed too intent on the game to reply. Driscoll sat and watched...

Chaos flung his cards down. They read:
Jack of Hearts,
2 of Hearts,
4 of Spades,
4 of Diamonds,
6 of Spades.

"It appears that you have finally won one. However, as you said, it takes more than one stroke to fell a tree. Yume, we await the next hand."

Suddenly, a man from earlier popped into existance next to them. Twisting his lip in disgust, Garland simply turned away. "We are playing cards. If I win, then he is required to aid me. However, should he win the next two, then I will be forced to return what he has lost. Do you understand?"

Driscoll grinned - for once, with humour. "Heh. Humans never cease to amaze me. Still, I guess with Yume around we aren't in any danger for a while."

Driscoll unbuttoned his green kacket and carefully folded it up next to him. It was nowhere near as clean and smart as it had been earlier, torn and bloodied. His undershirt was as bad - so he pulled that off, too. His chest and arms were covered in scratches and cuts, and his left arm had a nasty wound going down one side. He leant sideways, and then sat up again, pulling the red potion out of his pocket.

What the hell, why not...

Gulping half of it down, he almost dropped the rest as his cuts and bruises started to heal themselves up infront of his eyes! And to top it all off, it tasted slightly of bananas...

Chaos looked at the cards, and smiled. "I shall bet 4. I believe the luck you had last round has rubbed off on me. Now, it is your turn to draw."

The sounds of battle seemed to fade away from Garland, so intent was he upon his cards. If I win this hand, then I become the overall winner. However, should he win, then he will only need one more victory to undo all that I have done. I refuse to lose in this manner! I shall not!

Wow, card game = sweet stuff!

________________________

Kefka noticed that Chaos, the other resident evil entity has changed into his human form. Kefka descended only to find him playing cards with one of the Returners, who ended his year-long reign.

"So, you're getting on their mortal level?"

"Quiet thee. This game of mortal cards intrigues me. Joinst thou us not to watch?"

"No. I'll just watch if this gambler person tries anything funny."

With that Kefka stood a distance behnd Chaos and watched the results of the game.

Chaos looked first at Setzer, then at Driscoll, finally at Yume. "I shall drop the entire hand. I believe that my 'luck' will serve me better than this measly hand."

Staring at Setzer, he whispered, "After all, are we all not victims of chance?"

The one which referred to himself as Kefka joined to watch. Softly, he "Vwe-hehehehe'd" in Chaos's ear. Annoyed, Chaos turned toward him. "If you cannot join a game with some measure of peace, then perhaps you should leave... or..."

Chaos whispered into the clown's ear, and Kefka once again went, "Vwe-hehehehehe!" Stalking slowly, the clown stood right behind Setzer.

Smiling, Chaos said, "I believe that Kefka would be more than happy to watch your final agonized moments, Setzer. Prepare to lose that which you hold dear!"

Yume suddenly found that she could not bring herself to make eye contact with them.

Using Paralyze on Edge(Exeter)!

Using Counter(1 P-vote) on Edge!

Using Deathblow on Edge!

Using Limit Break(4 P-votes) on Edge!

Using Jump Attack(3 P-votes) on Edge, nullifying his previous attack!

Reflecting(2 P-votes) Julius' Counter onto Edge!
-----------------------------------
Now, if I counted right, I got 17 A-votes this round. With Limit Break, that mean's 8 A-votes have been placed on Exeter from that attack alone.(Only Krizak know's the true numbers for certain) Add up the damage from the Paralyze(2 A-votes), the two Counters(4 A-votes), the Deathblow(3 A-votes), and the Jump Attack(3 more A-votes), that all equal's up to...

20 A-votes. G'bye Ex! Post coming shortly.

Can't change our destiny?

Driscoll squirmed slightly. His destiny... Driscoll wasn't the kind of man who thought about destinies. But what was his destiny, if he had one? Endless war? Death on some lonely field somewhere with no-one to remember him?

Driscoll wasn't an introspective man, but this conversation was making him nervous.

JonJonB: I don't think you can use two R-Votes on a single person in a normal manner, double votes or not (although you can use a special skill for that - Aura is your ticket, i think).

Garland looked at Yume. What could be the one thing she is scared of? Does she fear the unknown? The Darkness? Her destiny?

Yume suddenly glared at him. "Or maybe, you should simply drop the entire matter, O Lord of the Dark Alliance."

Somewhat abashed, Garland looked at Setzer. "I will also bet five, though I regret the loss. I have nothing in my hand with which to beat you."

Laying his hand on the table, Garland showed his cards. "2 of Hearts, Ace of Diamonds, 3 of Clubs, 5 of Spades, and the 7 of Clubs. Or, to put it bluntly, the Ace High Card. You win, I am sure of it."

Kefka softly went, "Vwe-hehehehe! Didn't work so well, did it?"

...

Unbeknownst to most of the participants, not one, but two games were being played. At least, it seemed a game to Rubicant.

Edge tiptoed across the marble catwalk, looking for any sign of the Fiend. He froze as the distant voices he had been hearing became more audible.

"I shall drop the entire hand," one said.

What the hell?

It was at this moment of confusion that Rubicant chose to strike out at the ninja again. A flaring ball of energy flew at the young man's head, who just barely managed to duck beneath it.

"How delightful. I was hoping you would be able to last this long. I must say, our first duel, so long ago, was very disappointing indeed."

Edge sneered, and threw a shuriken, but the projectile missed its mark as Rubicant faded from view into yet another portal.

"Damn it, this isn't funny!" Taking a quick look over to where the voices had been coming from, Edge saw the card game, but payed it little mind.

I've got better things to do than watch two idiots play games in a place like this. You're going down once and for all, Rubicant...

Munkwunk
FFOS6: Zio

"How much time has passed...?" Once again, Zio was picking himself up from the floor. It was a difficult task; he had been severely battered by his last encounter. "I see we are still in this abysmal place. The round is not over yet. I could not have been out for too long."

He had already taken quite a bruising today, and Zio was severely upset. None of his wounds seemed to be healing themselves. None of the magic he cast would save him now. "Have I been smited by the Black Energy Wave?" he asked himself. "Why has Dark Force forsaken me? No..." an after thought, "Dark Force has not forsaken me. He does not exist in this plane. I still serve Him with all my last ounces of strength! To the death! Even if this void shall be my grave!"

Finding slightly renewed energy with his personal revalation, Zio took to movement once more. Slower now, despite his momentary rush. His wounds were still aching, bleeding. "They will all pay for what they have done to me!"

Zio strode forward, seeking those which had wronged him. Blasting all who would come within his path.

The white Motavian. "NAWAT!" Torrents of intense water split the blackened sky, crashing down upon the brute.

Another man, he recognized only vaguely from before. "NATHU!" Streams of electricity burst forth from Zio's palm, blasting the man in the chest with an intents jolt of electricity.

A girl. Innocent, and harmless; the perfect victim. "NAGRA!" A giant orb of blackened matter materialized on the platform just below the one on which she stood. The intense gravitational pull of the orb yanked her from where she stood, sending her crashing into the platform below, just barely escaping certain death as it prevented her from sliding over the edge.

Another fiendish, reddish looking man. [i]"NAFOI!"
A dense pillar of fire opened from the sky, crashing down upon the devil. This did not seem to harm him, however. Nay, even as the fire touch him seemed to gain power.

Zio was nearly spent. He knew his power would not last much longer, but he had to hold out. He knew hew ould get his revenge. He would see to this dark justive before he died!

Hmm...you know, I don't think I much care for the power vote system anymore. I mean, the actions of two sponsers, in effect, sent poor Edge straight to hell. Trauma (which negated all those R-votes), and Curley's attack (what did I ever do to you? ). Theoretically, I could go back and change something, and use Evade, but that wouldn't be right.

Darkken
The Scarlet Magician

Koren quietly observed the game of cards, and the conversation of the people around it. He could see a short flinch pass through the face of the man named Driscoll, as the subject passed on fate.

He is wise. The wise man knows to be afraid of his fate. The fool faces it... and loses. As for me... what about my fate?

Unlike most, Koren had already met his fate once. He had faced it, and he had lost, of course. He had first-hand knowledge of what it meant to meet one's fate. And Koren knew that his fate was near. His eyes turned towards a faraway location, where a lonely knight-to-be fought hordes of monsters. The man's red-brown hair was soaked in sweat, and his moves had become slow and sloppy because of his wounds. Koren watched the man perform a skilful sidestep strike and slay yet another horrible creature.

Why doesn't he use his full power?

Koren could still feel the blow of Duran's blade in his heart. And yet, there the man who had delivered him his fate lay, tired and on the brink of defeat. How could that be? How could one who was powerful enough to defeat him, the Scarlet Magician, be overcome by such pitiful creatures? Or was it truly so that he depended so much on his comrades?

That can't be it.

Koren, suddenly, choosed a choise of action. His had always been the power to control men through his magic - dark and cruel art though it may be, he now chose a random, unsuspecting target. Koren was immediately attracted to the one he chose - a man disguised in robes, only his eyes to be seen, and a skill to mimic any action in the world. Koren sent him to the place where Duran lay with a quick burst of magical energy, and continued to watch from afar.

Duran had managed to defeat the last wave of monsters, it seemed - however, he was completely spent, and he could barely lift his sword. That precisely he did, once he was Gogo approaching. "You! Are you friend or foe!?" he shouted. Gogo gave no answer, but merely raised his hands, and cast a spell of healing on the man. Then he collapsed on the floor.

"Hey, what's going on? Are you okay?" Duran asked, putting his sword aside.

"Red... Scarlet cape..." Gogo muttered, as if he was starting to recover from Koren's spell.

Duran's eyes flashed. "KOREN!?" But Gogo was suddenly gone, returned to his original location in a flash or scarlet.

"Not bad... you almost broke my spell", Koren said to Gogo. He, of course, could not hear him... he was unconscious for the time being, though he would soon wake up. Koren shrugged, and lifted a potion from inside his robes. "I think I'll know what to do with this", he said, and disappeared.

A few moments after, Driscoll saw a potion next to him. He picked it up, looking at a small card attached to it:

From a secret admirer.

Driscoll couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. This certainly was NOT a case of respawning items, but rather one of a game of cat and mouse... only he did not know who the cat was.

To recap: This story segment has to do with my votes a few posts down.

Interesting card game, BTW, guys.

Setzer took up the final hand of cards and placed the single ante coin in the centre of the table.

"Shall we finish this then?"

Rurouni Taikai: Umaro

Nothing really. That was meant for Kyo, But since he used Following(Grrrrrr!)I couldn't hit him, or any other Noble. So I just picked at random. Sorry.

And now, how Edge got pounded, and more 8-Bit theater goodness!
________________________________________________

The four "Light Warriors" wandered through the halls, looking for opponents to assault. Unfortunately, they had gotten completely lost.

"We should probably go talk to that Yume woman." Red Mage suggested. "We're not even official participants yet."

"Let's hold off on that a little longer. I wanna eliminate some of the competition before becoming a target."

"Well, that's not going to happen if we don't even FIND her!" Theif added. "We've been walking around for a few hours now, and the only thing we have to show for it is the Chaos' autograph. By the way, due to our contractual agreement, I must relieve you of that valuable collector's item."

"Don't worry guys!" Fighter piped up, still a little pale from the loss of blood. "The floors are incredibly dusty, and as a result, I've found a set of footprints here! And *TINK!* if we follow them,*TINK!* we're bound to find a few opponents! *TINKTINKTINK!* Hey B.M., please don't stab me while I'm talking, it's very distracting.

"Die!*TINK!* Die!" The homicidal Mage screamed. "We are NOT *TINK!* going to walk around in circles again!"

"Again?" Red Mage pondered.

"What the hell is wrong with you people?! Aren't you supposed to be comrades?!" The four misfits turned to see a man in a ninja's outfit looking at them disgusted.

"A competitor!" Fighter shouted gleefully. "Prepare for a steaming hot pile of action!!!"

"Shut up Fighter." Black Mage ordered. "As for you, hold very still. This will be incredibly painful, but I don't wann bother with a moving target."

"Hah!" The man replied. "You think I'm scared of some guy named after taking a crap, B.M.?!"

A loud snapping sound(B.M.s patience) filled the air as Black Mage's eyes went blood red. Seeing this happen before, Fighter gave proper instructions to Thief and Red Mage.

"If you value your heineys, you will run away as fast as you can!!!!!"

The three made tracks as Black Mage cupped his hand to his side. At first, the ball of energy was small, but it soon grew to a massive size, enveloping it's caster in it's light.

"SHINKUUUUUUUU..." Black Mage shouted, his voice booming. "HADOOUUUKEN!!!!!" There wasn't a single person in the sanctuary that didn't see awe-inspiring blast. A beam of light that filled the dark void with it's luminesence. The ninja was nowhere to be seen. Whether he was vaporized, or simply he knocked off the platform from the initial blast was unknown.

With his frustration vented, Black Mage walked over to where his friends(or tormentors. your pick.)had taken cover behind a set of stairs.

"Hey Fighter." B.M. called out to the simple minded warrior.

"Uh! Y-yeah?" He replied fearfully.

"Steaming pile?"

The Main Moogle

OOC: I realize Kefka is busy right now, and I don't want to ruin your card game, so this isn't in any sort of chronological context.

"Kefka!" Mog shouted.
"Huh?" the psychotic man asked, turning to face the Moogle.
"I put you away once before; I'm gonna do it again!" the stout little furrball said defiantly.
"What are you going to do, dance me to death? Oh, please don't let the cute and cudly little Moogle hurt me!" Kefka said in mock terror. "I'm going to fry you! Uwee hee hee!" he laughed. Kefka pointed a finger at Mog and zapped him with a powerful bolt spell.
Mog's eyes narrowed. He had reached his limit. "That's it! I'm tired of being picked on because I'm small and cute! Taste my cudly wrath, kupo!" He prepared for a desperation attack.
Kefka just laughed his maniacal laugh.
"Moogle RUSH!!!"
Mog charged Kefka and started pummeling him. His fists moved like lightning; a punch to the chest, two in the side, blow after blow in the stomach, an uppercut, a jab to the face, all too fast for Kefka to react. Kefka started to stumble forward, but Mog reacted quickly by pulling out his Moogle plushie and aiming it straight for the psycho clown's head. The doll connected with Kefka's cranium with such force that it knocked him over backwards.
"Curses!" Kefka cried.
"Hey, I think I learned a new dance," Mog said with a grin. He hopped forward, shuffled to the side, spun on his toes and executed a perfect backflip. And as he twirled, fire and brimstone began to rain down, scorching all that was near.
"All in a day's work for a cute and cuddly Moogle. Kupo!"

That's one big Limit Break on Kefka (4PP), plus
A-Votes on Kefka, Driscoll, Kain, Umaro, Setzer, Gogo, Locke, Duran, Lemina, Rydia, Zio, Gryz, Julius, and Mia

Oops, might've gone a bit overboard. Chalk it up to collateral damage (it's not like I had much of a choice). It's such a sorrow that I'm not able to reverse some of the damage I've done. I'll try to make it up next round.

FFOS6: Zio

Zio had finally had enough. He knew his time was close at hand, but he was going to do something about that.

As he trapsed through the abysmal place once more, his eyes locked upon the man who had done so much to try to harm him earlier. "Bastard Noble," thought Zio. "You will feel my wrath this time!"

Ignoring his wounds, Zio picked up his speed, charging the knight as best he could. As he neared, he shouted the most intesive, brutal, magnificant spell he knew.

"M-E-G-I-D-O-!-!"

Bursts of flame sprouted from nowhere, fueld by Zio's rage. Every ounce of anger built up within him over the years was released with this spell. Fireball after gigantic, intensive fireball pummeled the man, hitting him with all of the might of Zio's magical powers. Burst and explosions rocketed all around, striking a few others in the vicinity. Death would be among them all today!

The spell ended. All involved collapesed to the ground. None were dead yet, but the powers of Megid yet remianed to be seen.

With the last ounce of his strength being spent, Zio collapsed to the ground, passing into unconsciousness. The spell was more powerful than any known in the Algo solar system. Casting it had been more taxing than one could ever think possible. None of that mattered now. All Zio wanted was the cold embrace of what ever fate happened upon him.

______________
That's one Limit Break to Duran
1 Slash All to Gryz, Lemina, and Mia.
1 Cover to Duran

And what the hell, since I have some extra R-votes, I'll give one to Mog, Mia, Umaro, Driscoll, Gryz (yep, you heard me), Kain, Setzer, Julius

And I believe that puts me out of votes.

Edit: Oops, too many R-votes there. Sorry, Kefka.
