El Draco Caido

Cool! A Shadow made it to the Finals! GO SLIPSTREAM! Ph33er teh Fire Fiend! Ph33er teh Wanzer!
---

Garland watched as the two finalists walked through the portal. He shouted, "Fare you well, Fiend of Fire! May you finally find that which I have searched for, to no avail."

One of the other contestants leans toward him. "And what could the Demon of Time want, and never have?"

Garland strode away. "Power. Pure, absolute power. And, when it comes to it, knowledge. Who created me? Even my memory only goes so far. I must know. I must find why I am unable to fulfill my dreams!"
---

Suddenly, the familiar black shadows gather around them. Garland hisses, finally connecting the facts. "Fiends of Time, beware of my wrath!"
---

*OOC* I'll continue this after school. The bell just rang...

EDIT: You're right again, Baka. Two Shadows are definately better than none!

Baka
WANZER!

oro!

Well, firstly, thanks to everyone who helped me out, with the r-votes and the support and the yadda yadda. Couldn't have done it without y'all!

Secondly, well done to EVERYONE else who's taken part so far, especially the other semi-finalists. You've all done damn well, and I loved all your stories. I'd have been happy to face any of you in the final.

And... I can't help wondering what a final with Gryz's stealth tactics in it would have been like...

Congrats Slip, I'll see you in the final! Now I just have to work out how a military commander has any chance of defeating a fiend of fire...

San Draco - dude. Me and Slip are BOTH Shadows...

But yeah. Woo! I cannot believe you folks have let me get this far again :P See ya in the final!

OOC: Ye gads, I only tallied up with 2 points and that was still the most anyone got?! o_O

I knew Baka was going to make it through. The only problem is, if he wins twice, his ego may undergo gravitational collapse and suck our entire solar system into a black hole!

- - - - - - -

Setzer watched quietly as Yume glided through the portal. After all this time, you still don't understand, he thought mournfully. I never believed that your power could give me back my dreams. I never wished for your power at all. For with great power must come great responsibility. Even if you were to give it away, you would still be a slave to its use ... and never be free.

"Perhaps I can no longer help you directly" he stated with great determination as he turned to face The Void, "But I'll be damned if I let this abomination deprive you of the chance to help yourself."

The gambler unslung the PSG-1 sniper rifle from his back and looked through the telescopic sight at the form of the approaching darkness. A young boy with white hair and a sword strapped to his back approached out of the group of former participants. "What does it look like?" Nall asked.

"You don't want to know" Setzer answered flatly. "But I'll tell you one thing; that's not an 'it', that is definitely a 'they'".

I'll keep a needle handy in case we need to deflate it before it can collapse it.

Now that I've seen both finalists react...

And Baka beat me to pointing out TWO Shadows hit the final. Well, we know which EX type wins this time... XD

I was THAT close? That's just....just....whoa. I honestly never expected that I would make it this far, let alone be so close to being a finalist. ^^;;; A big thank-you to everyone who supported me throughout this thing, and congratulations to the two finalists! ^_^

Cool... I get a few moments in my English class to use the Internet! YAY!

Just a little storyline here. If I interrupt anyone, or cross any rules, please let me know, okay?
---

Chaos looked at the creatures of the Void, then at the other participants. Garland's mind was screaming to join the Light side, just this once, while Chaos's soul was drawn to the Void monsters.

One of the creatures walks up to the Silver Knight, whispering promises of power and vengeance. Visions of worlds conquered, and countless souls fearing the mention of his name crossed his mind. Slowly, but surely, more potent dreams were added, as the Void monster became more attuned to Chaos's thoughts.

In a surprising burst of strength, Garland banished Chaos's control for a brief instant. In that moment, the Silver Knight fired a Holy Explosion at the monsters.

A venomous whisper hissed, You wish only to be free of your hosts weakness? That is an easy wish, for such a great betrayal. It is done!

In that moment, Garland's mind was flung into the Void, and Chaos gained full control of the Holy powers the knight had possessed. Laughing, the now-complete knight crossed to the Void's side.

He shouted, "Come and defeat us, fools! It is only a matter of time! No matter how hard you may try, the Void will always win. It can only be delayed... But no longer. The Master of Time has joined with the Fiends of Darkness! You shall all die!"

Pointing at the gambler, the Fallen ninja, and a green-haired summoner, Chaos shouted, "Come and defeat me, fools! I shall be avenged for my humiliation!"
---

Garland has finally lost the battle with Chaos, and Chaos is now a Holy Knight.

Chaos has joined with the Void, hoping for power and authority.

School is going, so I'm done.

OOC:
Well I knew I was out, but I had no idea I was so close. Zero points and I lose, fantastic.

Driscoll, Rubi, complete congradulations. You guys knew what you were doing, this is my first tournament, and all i did was smash stuff. Smashing with Stealth.

Lemina, I thought you were in, but well, everyone kinda forgot to attack Rubi.

Setzer, I love the Spiderman Quote "With great power comes great responsibility." And if you didn't know that was a spiderman quote, it is.

Oh and I love my title, Least Stealthy Thing in Existance. Its like winning an Oscar. Thanks Krizzy.

So what happens now? Or, to be more exact, who do I smash?

Heh, I have to admit, I had a pretty good udea of who it'd be before you posted the votes...^^;;

Congrats to Slip for making it to the finals with a Shadow character. We all know that that was no small feat. And, Baka...well...what can I say? WANZER!

Wow, and it WAS close...tons of reversals on everyone. I'm still waiting to see this big thing you have planned for the final round, though, Kriz...

The Survivor 5 Music Video!!!!!!!!!!

I've actually long since finished the FFO Survivor 5 music video and it's been sitting on my hard drive for about a month, patiently waiting for me to find a place that will take files of that size.

So, half a dozen upload attempts and a major headache to Krizak later I think I might have cracked it. And so, here it is (hopefully). It's showing the correct file size (15.8meg) but I haven't had a chance to download it myself yet and check if it all uploaded properly. I would appreciate if someone could have a go at downloading it and let me know on this thread if it works. The video should be 3 minutes 32 seconds long.

*crosses fingers and prays*

That IS a kewl video, Daigohji! I rememember having read some of Tournament 5, and it was cool stuff. One thing, though - who used Sydney? Because I don't remember reading about him... or maybe it was just because I didn't pay too much attention, since I wasn't sponsoring.

EDIT: *Grins at Izlude, noting that the video loaded faster than it played, so that he could basically stream it*

Slipstream
Emperor of Fire

MakubeX, wasn't it? I remember Sydney making it to the FFOS5 semi-finals, anyway. Read it if you get a chance, Darkken, it was great fun with just a few minor niggles (eg. the unkillable TranceGredge, who everyone wanted to kick through a window).

*looks around*

Seems Baka and Kriz aren't online at the moment, let's hope it won't be too long. Cool video, Daig, brings back the memories.

I don't suppose anyone still has a copy of any Survivors between 1 and 4, do they? I haven't read the first three and I lost my copy of #4 in my last comp crash.

Edit: Dai and Slipstream beat me to it.

Ah yes, TranceGredge....anyone curious as to why he got so many attack votes in Round One of the first attempt at S6 will find out just why upon reading the S5 archives. -_-;;; We at one point turned his character into a soccer ball, but it apparently didn't stop him from wanting to compete in S6.

Other than him, though, it was tons and tons of insane fun....emphasis on insane. XDDD

hehe.. i once had to upload a 35mb file O_o ... i would have dsl.. its actually cheaper then having a second phone line and a 56k account.. the only problem is that everytime we've called the damn company that supplies the area with dsl we get a different reason as to why we cant have it.. even though my brother, who lives a block away can get it.. *sigh* ..looks like i'll have to move before i ever see dsl

*note* ..we arent even running at 56k actually.. the phone lines in the area are so crappy that our internet connection has never gone above 26.4k ..divide that over a 4 computer network and ugh... its terrible..


Verizon must die...

The song is called 'Twilight' by ELO. I think it says that at the end, but the compression might have made it illegible.

Unfortunately I don't have time to make a S6 video, all my time is being taken up doing the censored for Survivor 7. You'll find out what I'm talking about when the drafting thread goes up.

That sucks about FFX, I'm waiting the long wait too. 'Final Fantasy' + 'UK' in same sentence = bad news.
