Biggs and Wedge intro (part three)

Wedge was insane. Biggs had come to grips with that fact soon after they had been posted in the same troop in basic training. He hated to think of what would happen if Wedges luck ran out, and he tried not to, but in the mean time, he had to figure out how to keep the distillery from exploding and bringing down their base. He moved in closer to the machine, shielding his face from the steam with his arm. What he saw wasn't pretty. Wedge had somehow managed to use his hydraulic reparation kit to separate the elements of his brews, but it had gotten jammed, and was using a force meant to lift a magitech at a running gait to build up sufficient pressure to cause a formidable explosion. He took out his sword and began to beat at the tubes that sprouted from the machine in hopes of buying time by giving some of the pressure a release. He managed to knock one out of it's socket, and a stream of boiling ale issued from the spigot, scalding Biggs with the splash. He gave up hope for the base and began to work his way out of the room, crawling under tables and tool racks to avoid the spray. He couldn't see anything through the steam, and the machine was making a deafening racket such that he didn't notice Wedge and "Betsy" as he called his magitech, enter the base. He threw aside the curtain only to find himself staring into the glowing charging port in front of Wedges mech. Biggs muttered an earthly crudity and dropped to the ground just as a beam a blue energy issued from the machine. It was cold, really cold, even out of the beams radius, but that, after all, was the point of an ice beam. The beam faded away, and everything was quiet, except for Wedge's music. The whole room was encased frozen ale. Wedge jumped out of his magitech, quietly walked back to the room, and broke off two icicles. He held one toward Biggs and asked "Hey, man, ‘want a popsicle?"
Biggs got up slowly, sighed, and said, "I'm gonna take a nap."

intro for Biggs and Wedge, part IV

--------
Soldier #1: "hey boss... what are we doing here?"

Soldier #2: "yeah.. What kind of freaks live in a cave?"

Soldiers #1,2,&3"AHAHAHAHA!!"

Boss:"quite down!...and.. how was that even funny. are you men drunk again?"

**silence**

Boss:"we are looking into some new technology"

Soldier #3:"oh! Those weird machine riding people"

Soldiers#1,2,&3:"AHAHAHAHA"

The old Communist leader gave a sharp slap to soldier # 3 and scowled at the others

Boss: "we have to be quiet! the men in here are presumed dangerous.. don't wake them up"

The four fumbled their way towards the cave....

Wedge was sprawled over his mech.. Sound asleep and snoring loudly.. A small bubble appeared in his left nostril

the four entered the central part of the cavern... they stood in awe of Betty. The old man approached Betty and ran his fingers across her smooth voluptuous surface. He jumped at the sound of a chocked shotgun

"Get your hands off Betty..."

Wedge Stood high atop betty.. Clad in nothing but a white tank top and boxers.

"BIGGS! GET OUT HERE!"

Biggs stumbled out from his bunk.. Still half asleep

"Looks like our friend is back"

Wedge jumped off Betty and approached the old man, pointing the shotgun directly at him

Biggs:"ugh.. Him again"

Wedge Grabbed the old man by his green jacket and soldiers #1.2, and 3 directed their weapons towards him

"You annoy me... listen... if I.."

Suddently a bright light flooded the room

"The light....ITS BURNS!!!"

Biggs, Wedge, The two mech's, and the old man all disappeared in unison... soldiers 1,2,&3 sat in shock as what just happened

Soldiers #1, 2,&3: "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

-------

OOC:Finally finished it..woo hoo!

Hah, one day before the tourney and here I am without my intro. Well, guess it's time to whip it together, eh?

Oh, it should go without saying that there's a few BoFIII spoilers abound here. Just letting y'all know.

So, without further ado...

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

Momo's Introduction

Zero - Reminiscence
"I wonder what it'd be like to relive those days once again...?"

---

A gentle breeze blew through the tower window into the laboratory.

Momo was, as always, busy at work, engineering whatever miscellaneous contraptions she could build. With technology borrowed from the civilization across the ocean, there were countless opportunities for her to tinker about and develop something exciting! The spirit of the engineer resided in her... just as it had for Repsol, her father, so many years ago...

"Father..."

Repsol was truly incredible - an engineering genius. He'd taught her everything there was to know about mechanics, the power of chrysm, even integral calculus... the whole works! They had worked on countless inventions together - many of which lay strewn about the lab... along with the heaps and mounds of X-rated magazines. Her father may have been a bit... well... perverted... but he was still the best parent a young scientist could ever want.

"Father... It's... so lonely without you here..."

Her eyes began to trail off as she looked away from the window. She turned to face the center of the darkened room, where her father's last invention once resided - an empty pit was all that reminded her of its presence.

The rocket ship... the escape device that Momo's father had created should she ever need to get out of the tower in a hurry, whatever the cause. And fifteen years ago, she - along with Ryu and Nina - used it to escape.

That was the day her life changed forever. Who would have thought she would have aided in protecting the world from an evil god? Oh, the days of adventure...!

...how she missed those days...

*swoosh... swoosh... swoosh...* A sound startled Momo out of her recollections of the past. She looked up to see a small robot sweeping the floor, over and over and over in the same spot. It was perfectly clean, yet the little drone kept at its task.

"Oh! It's just you, Honey! You startled me!" She giggled a bit as she walked over to the little robot - who was still sweeping the exact same spot. She knelt in front of her little friend, observing her monotonous task.

She sat next to the robot, staring at the stone ceiling, drifting back into thought. She sighed. "Oh Honey... is there something wrong with me? You seem so content spending your days sweeping away... but I... I..." her voice trailed off. "I... just remember how exciting it was to travel around the world with Ryu and his friends! To see all sorts of places, to discover new machines and technology, to... just be with friends... It sure gets awful lonely around here sometimes... doesn't it?"

*whoosh... whoosh...* Honey just kept sweeping, staring at her master with a chrysmatic glow in her eyes.

Momo slowly stood up, brushing the dust off her blue robe as she rose. She looked down at the robot with the broom and smiled. "Oh, what am I saying! I've got you here with me, and Ryu, Nina, and everyone else aren't that far away!" she giggled, returning to the window, the breeze still coming in through it.

She stared out into the sapphire sky, dotted with clouds. The green plains stretched out towards the mountains in the distance; to their right side lay the grand city of Wyndia. She began to sink into reminiscence again...

"But still... sometimes I wonder..." She gazed at the ruins of the rocket ship just outside the tower, unmoved for a decade and a half. "What would it be like to adventure once again? It's been five years since we all defeated Myria..." She turned back to the inside of the lab once again, this time something else catching her eye - her old bazooka, propped against the corner... it still looked in as good a shape as the day they defeated Myria. She lifted it up and swung it up over her shoulder, aiming it at a bookcase. It reminded her of old times...

"I wonder what it'd be like to relive those days again...?"

Suddenly, Honey's sweeping began to grow sporradic, her joints producing loud scraping sounds. The broom that the miniature robot had been holding for so long fell to the ground as she began to emit small bursts of sparks.

"Honey! What's wrong!? Are you leaking chrysm?" she dropped the bazooka back in the corner and ran over to her ailing friend, reaching down to switch her off, but it was too late... The energy coming out of Honey began to increase and grow, sending large purple blasts of plasma bolts in random directions through the room, striking bookshelves and magazine piles, slowly setting the laboratory ablaze.

"Honey!! What's wro..."

A giant blast of violet chrysm plasma seared out of the small robot and passed through Momo, knocking her backward into the wall. She screamed in pain as she collided with the stone surface. And as if that weren't bad enough, her bazooka, which she'd set there moments before, fell upon her as she collapsed, knocking her unconscious as Honey continued to discharge the beams of electric energy

And then her world became black.

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

Well that was long enough - but I kept it to one part! YEAH!! XDDD That's definitely a first for me!

Hope you all understand a bit more about Momo. Basically, she's a genius scientist who yearns for adventure, tending to act impulsively rather than thinking things out. Should be fun. I posted her basic information in the Character description thread - go there to check that out.

Also, I'll post my contact info here as well. Anyone is more than welcome to contact me through AIM (my username is PaladinOfWind) or through e-mail at paladinofwind@yahoo.com. I'll make an effort to check it often.

Hope you enjoyed the intro! See you all at the start of the tourney!

Dycedarg Beoulve

Registered: Mar 2002
Location: There and Back Again
Posts: 37

This will wrap up Dycedarg's intro.... Given the reverence with which I regard Easter, I won't have Sunday to work on this. So here we go.

This being the final intro segment, you can expect some heavy spoilage. Proceed at your own risk.

---

A little over a week had passed since Rofel had given the Capricorn Stone to Dycedarg. There were few outward signs of anything amiss to the Beoulve's servants-- their master had missed several meals and spent most of his time in his study-- but nothing too extraordinary for an already-enigmatic man such as Dycedarg.

But those few who had more personal access to the Duke knew better. And though he would say nothing, it seemed obvious-- from his suddenly-sporadic dining times to his abrupt refusal to accept guests-- that something was amiss.

But just what that was... and why it had so suddenly and so completely dominated his heretofore-structured life... was as great a mystery as any that had arisen in the Beoulve Castle walls.

And the only clue these onlookers possessed was the hand-sized, flat, green gemstone that the Duke jealously guarded. He took it everywhere-- when he spoke; when he ate; when he bathed-- and let no other touch it. His newfound obsession was also a dangerous one, and two other midnight assassins, much as the ninja a few weeks prior, had to have their corpses removed from the manor.

---

An aged man, the Beoulve family's seneschal for nearly thirty years, breathed a deep, exasperated sigh. Why couldn't Dycedarg have been the one to suddenly disappear? Ramza and Alma were so much easier to deal with. He shook his head and finished wrapping oiled strips of cloth around his hands. They had taken to shaking in his old age, and goblin oil was one of the few known treatments for it.

He tapped the edge of his cane into the greeting room fireplace, and a sudden chill put down the last of the blaze, reducing it to embers and ashes in seconds. Well, that's enough for me. The Master wanted the castle empty tonight....

He quietly made his way upstairs and knocked on the door to Dycedarg's bedroom. He did not hear a reply, and, knowing better than to intrude, simply called, "The castle is vacant, Master. I'll be back tomorrow morning."

"...thank you."

"Good night."

---

Finally alone. He wasted no further time and took the stone in his hand. He could feel the dark energy radiating inside it... a power that, like the Runes, could be bent to his will, and yet possessed a power of its own.

But the Zodiac Stone was different. Dycedarg had been able to communicate with some sort of beast through the Stone's power. It had told him that it was a powerful force from an evil plane of existence, in service to the 'Prince Lucavi.' At first, Dycedarg had refused to believe it-- everyone knew the Lucavis were simply tales of a long-forgotten age now only kept around to scare people into faith in Glabados-- but the evidence had been striking. The beast knew nearly everything imaginable; Dycedarg had yet to pose a question it could not answer. It also claimed to possess knowledge of the Forbidden Level of magic... dark forces that even a Sorceror could not bend to his will.

It is time we met face to face. I must see with my own eyes what this trinket from Murond truly hides.

He stared intently at the malachite jewel, eyes trying, as it were, to bore into the Capricorn sign along its surface. It quivered in his palm, and suddenly lit up. At that instant, he gave a sudden, sharp whisper... "Adramelk, come forth!"

Diffuse green light exploded from the gem, swirling around Dycedarg so tightly he could see nothing else. A moaning roar escaped from the stone and it jumped from Dycedarg's hand, hovering still in the sudden chill air in his room.

And just as quickly as it had appeared, the light, somehow brilliant and yet dim at the same time, coalesced into a shape scant few doma in front of the trembling Rune Knight. Slowly, the deep, reverberating groan only getting louder, a shape appeared in the light, and in a sudden flash the stone fell at the feet of a monster. ...a monster no nightmare could dream of.

"...A... Adramelk? The Ghost of Fury?"

The abomination was some sort of goat, but far larger than a man. Even hunched forward as it was it still stood fourteen doma (slightly more than nine feet -W) from split hooves to sharp horns, scraping across the wooden supports on his ceiling.

"I am."

His voice radiated power, fear, and intelligence. His was a fierce will, an unfathomable mind.... Here was evil incarnated into flesh. "I...."

"...am called Dycedarg Beoulve. The Rune Knight, the Duke, the General.... All fine, and noble." He snorted, just as a lesser goat would do, and cackled. "But that is not all, is it? You are also the murderer, the manipulator, the fiend.... A human like us."

Dycedarg paused to gather his thoughts. I had no idea.... "Like you?" D--- it... I can hardly control my own voice. It's as though... he's trying to possess me....

As though reading his mind, Adramelk laughed again. "Dominate your will? Force you to obey? No. Our means are more subtle... our machinations never so obvious. I can do nothing that do not wish me to do... so long as your hand rules the Capricorn."

The Knight couldn't help shaking his head. "I am not your Master, fiend."

A blood-red light gleamed from its eyes. "No. I serve no master but Lucavi. But he-- the Dark Prince-- has chosen you to rule in his place."

What? "Lucavi has chosen me?"

"In a way. At any given time, only twenty-four people in all the world may use the Power of the Stones. Twelve of these are men like you. You serve your own ends, and hold to the tenets of Evil, whether or not you wish to admit it. In that way, you and eleven others are chosen of Lucavi to fight along Altima as the Zodiac Braves."

Wait.... "Altima? You have not mentioned that name before, spirit."

Its lips contorted downward in a scowl. "You know her avatar... Ajora Glabados himself."

Dycedarg inwardly lurched. Ajora?! It's all starting to make sense now....

The beast nodded. "Yes. Ajora sought to resurrect the Zodiac Braves. He was not one of the Twelve... but no matter. For we are not twelve; we are thirteen. Ajora took the Virgo Stone-- the sign of Altima-- by murdering the One to whom the stone belonged. Thus and thus, Ajora's evil deeds drew Altima to the World of Man, and she was able to cross the planes to reach him."

"What happened?"

The beast showed its first sign of disappointment. "Nothing. Ajora was killed before the Angel could come to life in this world."

And now I see.... "So you mean to say.... The Shrine Knights are seeking for Twelve to take the Zodiac Stones and restore Altima to life?" His tone was of measured disbelief. He had no time to think; to dwell... his mind was spinning at the sudden revelation.

Adramelk nodded. "Yes. And you are one of these. You and I are alike, Dycedarg. More so than you may think. And yet...."

"'Yet'?"

"Yet all is not as it seems." He looked out into the midnight sky, gazing thoughtfully just as Dycedarg did. "There has been a disturbance in another plane. Surely the Sorcerors have felt it."

Dycedarg blinked, and twitched his head in a sign of disagreement. "I have heard nothing."

"No mortal could know of this. We are not even sure ourselves. All we know... is that there are ripples in our plane and those few higher. Lucavi himself isn't sure."

Dycedarg pursed his lips. "And I was led to believe that you knew everything."

The goat narrowed his eyes. "I said no such thing."

The human bowed. "I'm sorry. Forgive me."

"Forgiveness is not a virtue practiced among us. But I am in no position to harm you. For now... we are one, you and I."

While Adramelk was still speaking a flash of light appeared where his heart would be, and he exploded into the same pattern of light as before, rushing into the Zodiac Stone. It uttered the same low howl as before and then was still.

---

It is time. Zalbag's almost here.... The story of the Beoulve family comes to a tragic end.

Dycedarg, clad in the robes of a Duke, stood along the stone walkway overlooking the main hall. Soon he and his brother would fight to the death in the name of their dead father.

Dycedarg, Son....

What is it, Balbanes?

Why?

You know why, 'Father.' You know perfectly well.

Why her?

Why 'who'?

Salmi. Why did you have to kill her, too? She was the only gift of God I truly cherished... and you took it away.

If I had not, she might have saved you. Remember when she suddenly decided that mosfungus was the poison? I had to use cryzin oil on her to mislead the Chemists. It was her--

--it wasn't her fault, Dycedarg. It was yours.

Should I care?

Yes.

I'm sorry to disappoint you, Balbanes.

Your road to glory is soaked with blood. How many more must die before your appetite for death is sated?

As many as it takes. And you, 'Father,' would know.

Excellent.


"...Adramelk?"

Not just another Nightmare. Or have you forgotten that all of us have the power to warp dreams and the distorted reality contained in them?

"I suppose I had. Why did you...?"

Play your father? I had to make sure you were not showing weakness. Zalbag is not the only Brother you must kill today.

"Ramza is here?" Well, well....

Yes. He has slain Zarela in Limberry and has followed the Arch Knight here. In fact... they are minutes away from us now.

Very well. "Captain Barnach! Report!"

A leading Hokuten Knight and several of his subordinates all appeared, taking defensive positions in the main room.

"Hide for now. As soon as I call... come."

"We obey, my Lord." And with military precision, the Knights faded into the adjacent rooms and halls around the main room.

And then he could hear it. Zalbag had come, revenge on his mind. Dycedarg had fortified the front door well, but Zalbag was a determined attacker, and soon Dycedarg could see the point of a blade as it stabbed through, seeking to carve an entrance.

He drew the Defender and stood in a fighting stance. He took a few seconds to stretch, knowing that he would need every possible advantage, especially if Ramza and his friends were present as Adramelk had warned.

Zalbag was pounding on the door now. "Brother! Let me in! You must answer for what you have done!"

Even to the end....

With one final thrust, the portal gave way and Zalbag rushed in.

But there was no one waiting for him.

Now I know why I participate in these things in the first place.

I am absolutely AMAZED by the quality of writing here. I swear, these things ONLY GET BETTER with every passing tournament (I feel so inferior...! I only WISH I could write at the same level as all of you! Me and my lousy vocabulary ^^ *goes and buys a better dictionary and thesaurus*).

I can't wait! This is gonna kick ass! (or maybe in some sponsors' cases, this'll kick nuts... but we'll set their problems aside, eh? XDDD) See you all at the start!

Nice work Kojichan. But how are you gonna work the Gustaff with all the servebots dead(including the one in the Gustaff)? And don't worry about continuity notes, you can say Tron was getting funds for the rocket.

Von Bluecher said in the game that he invested everything in the Forbidden island expedition(or something like that). So when the whole thing flopped (he learned the truth about the ruins and ancient civilizations, but gained nothing), he probably didn't have enough money for the rocket.

So the Bonnes come along and say they'll contribute(they're reason, whether out of kindness, revenge, or the chance for ancient technology, is unknown). But they go through test rockets pretty fast, so they have to continually get more funds through piracy or digs.

*look's up* Blarg! I think too much! o_O

Izlude, Huan 80, I'm going to pay special interest to your posts. I've been a huge fan of comedy since childhood. Question though, is that old man supposed to be Fidel Castro?

Finally, a great big and a thumbs up to Ren and Wayne. I think we know who's gonna win the awards for best portrayal of Noble and Dark types.

...so anyway, remember, back in the day, when I thought I was an almost decent writer? Yeah, y'all've proven me wrong.

I'm almost tempted to try writing another intro, but I really want to save the backstory stuff for during the tournament, odd as that sounds...

Whatever. Awesome intros, all. And Ren, man, I think your character for next tourny's been decided for you. Otherwise, watch out for them moogles...

Sponsoring Cid. #*%@%$!!!

Alright, only a few hours left, so here's a last-minute intro for Cid.

__________________________________________________
_

The escape from the Great Northern Cave was a narrow one. Fortunately for the party, the Highwind crashed into the pit barely minutes before the place exploded from the energies released by Holy.

"Oh, Lady Luck don't fail me now..."

The airship got blown out of the cave by the explosion, but not with enough for. If Cid did't act quickly, the results would've been unthinkable.

"@^*#%#@!!!!!!"

The Highwind shook with the tremors of the explosion, and the heroes struggled to hold on to something solid on the airship. Cid grabbed a pipe that was all-too-conveniently placed on the floor. He remembered his work on the Highwind, and the one secret that he hasn't shown to the others yet. The trump card, his last resort.

He reached for the lever marked "Emergency", and with only seconds remaining from the Highwind's blast, he grabbed it and pulled as hard as he could.

All the unnecessary exterior parts of the airship were instantly blown off, and the replacement wings folded into place to guide the ship in flight.

Then the Jet Engine kicked in. The Highwind, or at least the hull of the ship, blasted out of harm's way with rocket propulsion.

"Yeeeeeeeee-haaaawwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!" - cried Cid, feeling particularly relieved, as he never had a chance to test this feature of the ship.

__________________________________

When the airship approached Midgar, a large and ominous-looking Meteor was being engulfed by an even larger blanket of white energy, spread all over the city. Holy was not only disassembling the meteor, but slowly destroying Midgar in the process.

Cid didn't have time to listen in on the conversation, he was busy figuring out how to fly by the cataclysm.

He snapped out of it when he heard Cloud's voice.

"Lifestream."

Cid stared out the cockpit window, awestricken by the countless strands of pure green energy all propagating towards Midgar. It literally felt as if the Planet was alive.

"It's coming!"

The energy closed in on its destination, and the world went white. Cid didn't have time to think about death, because he soon encountered something worse. First discomforting, then almost unbearable pain tortured his body for a fraction of a second that seemed like several hours.

He never knew what happened to his world, his airship, and his friends.

But he soon appeared in an totally unexpected new place....

__________________________________________

Gah... that took long enough to type... Literally minutes left before the Tournament starts!
