*OOC* I'm back! YES! The nightmare is over!
I CAN FINALLY POST!
I apologize for the wait, people. And now,
without further adieu... -----
Chaos had floated
through time, in the instant between one world, and the next.
He floated back to his time, into his own world. However, as
his corporeal body remained in the tournament, he would not be
disqualified.
Inside the Temple of Fiends, he found
what he had looked for. Te one possession he had retained from
the outside world, before he had created the Time Loop. A pack
of Chaos Poker cards.
At last, the one game that
the gambler cannot cheat at... It has been many years since I
played with a mortal...
Tiamat looked at him. "You
are still alive, my Lord? But, the Light Warriors..."
Chaos smiled. "There is another power in the universe,
stronger than even the Light Warriors. In other worlds, and
other times, other followers of Darkness exist. One of them is
even stronger than I, or perhaps more impudent. He dared to
dictate terms to me, and he had the power to back himself up."
Tiamat's heads nodded. "Good fortune, my Lord. May
victory smile upon your return." Chaos left, and returned to
the Tournament. ---
What is this place? The
twisting fires of the Temple mattered little to Chaos, but the
Temple seemed to have the same design as his own. Could
this be? This is impossible!
A man appeared in
front of him. "Who are you, and why do you dare to invade my
Temple?"
Chaos snarled. "I am Chaos, the Master of
Time, and I do as I will. You, pitiful mortal, had best bow
and beg forgiveness, before my wrath envelops you!"
Before either could move, Chaos could feel Zoma's
energy going to its highest point. "What does the fool think
he is doing?"
Chaos quickly rushed to the Archfiend,
and gave a small gasp. The Archfiend of Magic... had been
defeated. How could the mortals be so foolish? Did they not
realize that Zoma was their last hope to defeat me? Did they
not know how deeply our enmity rides?
To the
others, Chaos shouted. "The traitor, Zio, dies! All who had a
hand in Zoma's defeat shall perish for their transgressions!
FOR THE FALLEN LEADER OF THE ALLIANCE!"
Crackling,
burning Shadow energy enveloped his body. Chaos closed his
eyes, preparing for his greatest attack. "From the Darkness of
Time comes Retribution! DARK HOLY!"
The energy filled
the Temple, knocking both monster and contestant alike aside,
flinging them away like leaves before a storm. "May that be a
lesson to all who would oppose the Alliance!"
Zio
himself, however, was still standing. "I do not fear you,
demon, and I do not fear for my fate."
Smiling, Chaos
said, "Perhaps you should. You die now, and your treachery is
rewarded with vengeance!"
Leaping high into the air,
Chaos crashed into him, landing with all of his force. The
mortal was knocked down, apparently stunned. Roaring into his
ears, Chaos shouted, "Do you understand now? No one can defeat
the Dark Alliance. You had your chance, and now you have
chosen your side. May your spirit find eternal punishment,
outside of the bounds of Time!"
Running away, Chaos
found another target. ---
The ninja. The one with
the Masamune, that had dared to strike him before. Chaos
roared his challenge. "Stand and fight me, or suffer the fate
of the others!"
The ninja slowly turned, unable to
accept what was about to happen. "You! You are the one that
made me attack my beloved! You shall pay for your crimes!"
Smirking, Chaos simply whispered, "What is the point
of boasting, if you are unable to back them up with force?"
The ninja dashed toward him, threatening to knock him
down. Chaos simply sidestepped, and lashed out with his razor
sharp wings. The ninja threw darts, attempting to Pin Chaos's
wing, but to no avail. Edge was flung aside, and he landed
next to the pitiful mortal that Chaos had met first.
He bowed. "I see that you are truly a demon to be
feared. Please, Master, teach me your ways!"
Chaos
simply stared at him, reading his thoughts. Finally, he slowly
whispered, "Your heart is full of treachery, O Summoner. I
will not accept your surrender, nor will I teach you my ways.
Begone! Before your soul joins that of the others which you
call!" The man quickly complies.
There is none
left in the tournament, which would dare stand up to me. A
small rock hits Chaos's head. "Take that, kupo!"
It
appears I was wrong. Chaos spread his wings, and magically
flew toward the moogle. "Foolish creature. You should stay in
your own world, where you have a chance at life!"
Suddenly, a rain of boulders fell on him. Wiping some
blood off of his mouth, Chaos looked at the moogle in wonder.
"Is it possible that your body contains more power than first
anticipated? No, that is not it. You merely attempt to use
powers that are beyond your comprehension. If you wish power,
than feel, and learn."
Chaos spread his hand toward
the moogle, and said, "The grave calls for you now, Doomed
One! Cracks Call!"
The moogle disappeared into the
sudden crack, and the earth closed around it. Suddenly, a
silence fell upon the battlefield. Turning, Chaos saw the one
man he had yet to meet. One full deck of cards in his hand,
Setzer leaned against the wall. "I want my card."
Chaos smiled. "I have the perfect game to decide the
outcome. The one game that I enjoy, Chaos Poker."
Setzer's eyes widen slightly. "Chaos Poker?"
"It is a true game of chance and skill. It is much
like your 'Draw Poker,' but with a twist. Any card you draw
has a 1 in 52 chance of being the card you wish. For example,
I could draw the Ace of Spades. Then, I might draw another.
And another. Of course, the odds are incredible that you would
receive a Two of a Card, a Three of a Card is even rarer, up
to the maximum, Five of a Card. Do you accept the game?"

Vote Recap:
1 A-vote each to Driscoll,
Kain, Umaro, Edge, Gogo, Locke, Duran, Lemina, Mog, Rydia,
Zio, Gryz, Rubicant, Julius, Mia, Kefka.
1 R-vote each
on Rubicant, Kefka, and Setzer.
1 Jump attack (3
P-votes) to Zio. 1 Ex-Barrier: Noble (3 P-votes), to
myself. I leave it to Krizak to determine which attacks are
ineffective.
1 R-vote and 12 P-votes remaining.
*OOC* Daigohji, the game works as follows. I draw 1
card, then write down what happened. Then, I reshuffle the
deck, with that card in it again, and pick a new card. Since
ArchKnightWayne is watching the whole time, I don't think I'll
be able to cheat. Then, he does the same for you. (Or, you can
do it yourself, but NO CHEATING! ) When it is done, I post the results here. The first
one to win 3 games wins the match, and the prize.
Oh,
and another thing. You can't fold in this game, and the bets
can only go up. Hence, each hand is worth quite a bit. If you
like the idea, then go ahead and tell me. If you don't, then
the game is your decision.
EDIT: STUPID POST BUTTON! I
DOOM YOU TO THE ETERNAL... uh... BARREL OF DOOM!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
