"If your memories should stray..."
Lise frowned slightly, pushing back some of her long blonde hair as she pondered the situation. She had just woken up form Moonlight City Mintos, and now Hawk and Duran were nowhere to be found.

When I said I'd go, I didn't mean quite that soon. {OOC: Ok, so I didn't do my intro, so I'm winging it. Like I always have!}

She adjusted her armor, and gripped her spear a bit more tightly as she heard something moving about. Her eyes narrowed as she looked about in the unnatural corridor.

Its like the Corridor of Wind... but so unreal. Its like some twisted parody or something...

Her steps fell quietly as she made her way down the hall. She had a split second warning before an arc of lighting ripped across the hallway in front of her as she leapt back. She shuddered, thinking what might have happened had she been a step further ahead.

Crispy-fried Valkyrie Lise... She sighed, and turned around, avoiding the dangers that seemed so inherent down the hall. Instead, she backtracked a bit, taking another hallway she had passed earlier.

Hey Lise~! Where the heck are we~? I don't sense Mana anywhere~.

Lise rolled her eyes and stopped walking a moment, remembering that she still had the Mana spirits with her. After all, they were in her head. Since Mana power didn't exist, they'd have to remain in her for now, unless it was dire - without mana, they might fade, and she was the only source there. As long as they stayed within, she figured it'd be ok.

We're on a little side-trip, don't worry. Just stay.. er... there. I know there's no real Mana power around, so we'll just have to make do unless something comes up. Stay put and keep quiet.

With that issue settled, she continued on, wondering just who she had been "teamed" up with. She was fairly sure she was alone in the sense of others from her world; she had been cast off once before, before meeting up with the Navarre thief and Forcena knight, so being stranded wasn't a large issue. It would be a new take on a old thread to her; except she wasn't able to track Elliot here. Still, she could hone skills perhaps that would help.

Hold on, I'll save you, even if its the last thing I do.

The hunt was on, but she wasn't too sure who was the hunter, and who the hunted. In the distance she hear unearthly screeches which didn't sound very friendly at all...
------------
I'm taking her shortly after her job change, so she has stat raising abilities, packing a fair about of her healing items, and is decent in combat with her spear. The spirits are with her, but she WON'T be using them. :P

I'll be floating around. *goes to hunt food* >D~

Act 1, Scene 3 - "Barney"
Ivan slowly opened his eyes again, only to squeeze them shut as a bright light filled his vision. There was a yelp of "Sorry!" and the space behind his eyes dimmed again. He tentatively opened his eyes again, blinking away the spots from the light. Finally, he opened his eyes properly, and jumped slightly. He found himself looking into the face of a helmeted, uniformed man with some sort of light stick in one hand.

The memories from before began to resurface, and he looked up to where his arm was still trapped in the greenery.

"Uh... could you help me down here?"

The man finally reacted. "Sure, fella." Pulling out a knife, he quickly cut Ivan loose, who collapsed in a pile on the floor, rubbing his arm, which was numb from the shoulder down. The newcomer ran over and crouched down. "Who are you, kid? How did you - no, never mind. You shouldn't be here, this place isn't safe!"

Ivan smiled. "Heh, you'd think that, wouldn't you... I'm Ivan. Who are you?"

"Name's Barney, I'm a guard here. Now, we'd better get out of here before any of those monsters show up!"

----------

Hehe, I got Barney the guard :D

More later!

Re: "If your memories should stray..."
Kuja finally awoke to find himself in a strange facility. He heard noises in the distance. He had remained unconscience through the introduction and was confused and dazed. " Where the hell am I?" he asked himself still grogey from the deep sleep he had just had. Then he was stradled to find a device on his arm. " What the hell?" He tried to rip it off, but it wouldn't budge it seemed to be inplanted in his arm.

Then suddenly a sound came from behind him. A distinct growling sound. Kuja turned to see a strange beat coming before him unlike anything he had seen on Gaia or Terra. The beast seemed vicious and wild. Far from control. Suddenly the beast leapt toward Kuja. Kuja did a basic THUNDER spell to the creature. The creature yelped as the sudden electricity surged through it. Then it fell to the floor. Unconscience, but still breathing. ( there was a time when I could've annilated a creature like that. Now I can't even kill the dame thing.)

Then Kuja heard another sound. Footstep slowly coming in his direction. Kuja then saw a man. He had white hair and was holding a gun of some sort. The man stopped abrubly when he saw Kuja. He cuatiously raised his gun, but seemed to lower it as something on him was beeping like crazy. " My name is Billy. Are you on my team?" Billy asked hopefully. Kuja looked at this man startled and a little peased. " TEAM? What the helll are you talking about. I work alone, always have. Who the hell do you think you are coming to me and asking such a question? Do you know who I am?" Kuja stared at the startled expression of this Billy and smirked. " I am KUJA destroyer of world and ruler of all." He then stood and waited for what this Billy had to say.

Happy-Go-Pukey!
The loudspeaker was a failure. Humorous, but a failure. With an Alkaseltzer in hand, the red furred squirrel tried to think of a plan.

"A'right... First, I need some water. Then, I need a nap. Then I got to find... what the hell is this?" Conker examined his bracelet. It was a dark black, with a silver ring around it.

"Oooohhh! BRACELET. I can't believe I said brazier. What the hell was I thinking? God I'm drunk." Conker walked his way through a door, swaying left and right. His bloodshot eyes stared upon a young man with blonde hair, and a man in a blue uniform.

"Hey, any of you got some water or a glass or something?"

"What the heck are you! Wait a minute... Your voice sounds familiar" said the blonde man with a green cloak.

The man in the uniform looked at Conker, when snapped his fingers.
"Oh yeah! You were the one who talked about braziers and live whores on the loudspeaker! Unauthorized usage of government property that is, I'll have to write you a ticket!"
Conker rolled his eyes, mouth gaping open.

"Umm... Are you alright squirrel?" with that, Conker vomited on both Baka and the guard.

"You... Are... SICK!" Conker could see he was in trouble and dashed in a drunken matter. The two gave chase until Conker ducked into an office.

The squirrel gave a sigh a relief. He looked around the room to see a desk filled with papers, a dead scientist, a massive pool of blood, a mutant freak eating the said dead scientist, a file cabinet, a "#1 Boss!" coffee mug halfway full, and a full water cooler.

"Bingo!" a faint lightbulb appeared above conkers head. He grabbed the entire bottle from the cooler, dropped in the Alka-Seltzer, and drank the entire thing.

"That hit the spot! Felling much better! It feels like I forgot something though... Oh yeah. The mutant freak."

The creature was wearing a scientist labcoat, and had it's arms replaced with giant claws. A bulging mass rested on it's head spewing out an unknown yellowish substance. The creature lunged forward towards Conker.

Conker pulled out a chainsaw from behind his back, and immediately sliced the zombie in two.

Conker thought to himself. Easy enough. Right. Now from what I remember I need to find my team mates, because they are linked to my bracelet thingy. I also need to kill those bloody aliens before they cause too much trouble.

Are you sure you got all that?
(A)YES (B)NO


Placing the chainsaw back from where it came, Conker left the office to find his allies. He looked to his right only to see 3 one eyed aliens speaking in a weird tongue.

"#@$^!"

All fall down
Billy looked up at this man. This couldn't be... but there was no denying it. Billy looked down at his arm. A single word had materialized on it.

Match.

He sighed. "Well, Mr. Destroyer, I guess that you haven't been awake while we were given the briefing. I wasn't that alert, either, but I'll try to fill you in."

A sudden explosion rocked the hallway as another monster crashed in through a wall. Billy grabbed Kuja's arm and forced him behind a doorway. "You see, Kuja, we've been brought here by a demonic man to destroy each other," explained Billy, a bit distantly, while he changed the ammo on his Ether gun. "He's split us up into teams of three, and apparantly you're one of my team members." He aimed his Ether gun at the worm-like monster.

"I don't 'do' teams," replied Kuja coldly. "And I have no desire to work with you, whoever you are."

"Check your arm. We're a match. We have no choice. We live or die together. Well, I'm not sure if we die-" he said, pulling the trigger. A bright bullet hit the beast. The monster erupted in electricity, shaking like mad "-because I didn't catch that part of the speech. But seeing as how you couldn't beat that other monster, I'm thinking that you will be needing me."

Kuja watched as the monster slumped to the ground, dead. He stared at this man who called himself Billy. Billy had walked up to the monster and kneeled in front of it. His head lowered, and Billy appeared to be... sad. Almost reluctant that he had destroyed what had wanted to devour them.

And deep within his heart, Kuja realized that he, himself, felt similar.

Kuja walked up to Billy. He held out his hand and looked into Billy's eyes. "Then, I welcome you."

Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightning me
"S-stay away from me! Somebody help me, please!" one of the scientists stammered in fear, shrieking as his back encountered the wall of what appeared to be a restaraunt or cafeteria or something. Certainly the usual kinds of things you would find were strewn haphazardly around the place, such as plates, cutlery, uneaten meals, that kind of thing. What was less usual to find in a cafeteria were the somewhat gory bodies of scientists and ineffective security guards, the giant slavering lizard and the remaining scientists it was stalking.

We will get back to the giant slavering lizard in a moment.

For the moment, let's pay attention to the poor sods that had the misfortune to be receiving its attention. Fairly thin for the most part, don't get out much, not carrying anything in the way of offensive weaponry and certainly not the fortune to be wearing protective hazard suits. They're the kind of people who, in a situation like this one, tend to run around screaming a lot and end up either being rescued by the hero or die in some utterly trivial way which doesn't usually further the plot.

The lizard monster, on the other hand, was making it very clear what his role was and that heroes need not apply for this scene. The contensants weren't the only ones to be taken from the homeworlds today, and quite understandably some of them weren't overly happy about it all. Like this one. It was big and it was nasty and you wouldn't want to cross it.

Which is why, when Gilder crashed through the door in response to the screams for help, it struck him that this was one of the more stupid things he'd ever done in his life.

"Hey! What's the prob - yaaaaaah!" Gilder cried as the monster turned its ponderous hear and almost casually spat a globdule of acid at him. It shot over the air pirate's head and then made a good attempt at desintegrating the door. Firing from his prone position, the gunman held the trigger down as a fierce focused column of wind took the fiend in the chest and hurled and pinned him against a far wall. It was clear that no damage was being done, however, and although moonstone energy was inexhaustible it'd break free from the attack eventually.

Looking around, Gilder spotted another door to the right. "Alright, everybody out! Leave the beasties to the professionals, yeah?" he called to the scientists while slowly rising to a kneeling position - he couldn't stand because the wind attack would force him back with counter-pressure. The white-coated people stared at him, then accepted the sight of a magic-firing pirate as just another of the day's oddities and ran like hell. Willy had already flown for cover - he wouldn't be any use in this fight and knew it - so within moments it was just Gilder and the monster remaining.

I'll say this, I've never gotten into a one-on-one duel with the likes of you before. Reckon we could get some airweeds to waft across the room?

"Okay, pal, what's the best way to deal with you, then?" Gilder muttered as he focused on his roaring and snorting enemy. Fire probably wasn't worth trying again, and the beast's thick hides looked too thick for bullets to penetrate too deeply. Silverlight was definitely out, the thing would never stay still long enough for it to be effective. Ice-water had possibilites. Then -

Hey, there's a lot of artificial lights in this place, and these doctor/scientist guys must be responsible somehow for bring it here. Lightning, maybe?

Gilder thumber a switch on the side of the gun, and the blue moonstone cartridge dropped out from the gun's barrel and clattered to the ground. The monster quickly regained its footing once the wind attack was off it and charged the pirate, but as Gilder moved his left hand slammed the yellow cartridge into the barrel with practiced motion. It slotted home with a heart-warming click, then he trained the barrel on the fiend and fired. His hair stood on end - one of the reasons he usually hated this attack - as the air charged with static and a thin arc of lightning shot from the barrel.

The electric bolt caught the thing dead on, and its massive body twitched in agony as the lightning played havok with its muscles, then crashed uncoordinatedly into a row of tables. Gilder fired again and again, pressing the advantage and watched as the lightning played over the metal frames of the chairs and tables that the beast was now trapped beneath. It roared in pain and rage, then its eyes glazed over under the constant barrage of electricity and the body slumped twitching to the ground.

Gilder shrugged, wrinkling his nose at the odour of burning meat, then collected up the fallen blue cartridge and dug in his coat for a comb to sort out the staticly-shocked hair. Heh. Well, that was more effective, didn't expect it to go as well as that. Finishing his personal grooming as a sort of celebration, he headed for the door with Willy flying down to meet him. The gunman was feeling pretty good with himself as headed down a corridor, turning the corner without checking first to see what was round it.

"Hey!"

The person in front of him had apparently been working on something, not paying attention, and Gilder had walked into him - no, her, definitely a her - without realising. Stylish red dress, a great body and a face that just screamed for his attention. Whoa.

"Well," Gilder said with a smile, "looks like the day just got a lot more interesting."

Enter the vixen.

Calmy, and whistling the ShinRa anthem, Scarlett pried another SmartChick loose from her mechanized garter around her thigh. Stickingnher tongue out slightly and crouching, she stuck it about a foot off the floor. Just like the other eleven.

Her whistling switched to humming as she quickly surveyed her work; a dozen SmartChick84s and four Shriekers. Anyone--alien, competitor, or silly, sexually inexperienced dragonboy--who felt like passing though this hallway needed his head examined now and his body examined later.

Well, what else was she to do? Run around like an idiot with one of her shoes in her hand?

She quickly checked her inventory. Two dozen more SmartChicks on the thigh garter, Two more Shriekers on her unburdened wrist, a small contingen of potions and sundry around her left ankle, and a halfway-mastered Cure Materia, painted platinum and dangling from her left ear (it matched the ordinary platinum one in her right ear, just in case).

She made a mental note to install a flamethrower option in something if she made it to the next round.

If? Yeah, it's still if.

But I'm gonna have fun with it either w-- "OOF!"

"Someone's a bit happy for thi'sort of time."

"Awk!" (that wasn't Scarlett, by the by. It was the parrot.)

Scarlett turned to face the--somewhat sexy--piratical voice. "And you'd be...?" she asked, the realized that she'd seen something like this on...or in...well, something...

Long brown ponytail, bright crimson coat--already she found his taste in clothing attractive--flirty shades and a grin to match. Like a cross between the hero and villain out of those old spy movies her father hadn't let her watch because they were too violent (as if she listened). "Something tells me you're in need of a team, lady."

"For some reason, I think I'm already on yours." She piqued her eyebrows and leaned an arm on the wall, careful not to upset any of the SmartChicks.

He blinked, but grinned even wider at her response. "Fast one, eh?" The parrot gave a confirming "awk" to that. "Or is that a ploy'ta catch me off guard?"

She smirked, "The former," and sauntered past him, her stilettos clicking on the tiled hall floor. "Stay away from ythat hallway if you feel like winning, sailorman," she added, waking her wrist and ruffling her shoulders slightly. "And see me later if you need patching up."

Gilder stared off after her as she turned the corner, somewhere between aghast and impressed.

And both were thinking the same;

One down, one to go.

Re: "If your memories should stray..."

Experience and ability kept Ward from breaking into too much a cold sweat, but no from recognizing the pure discomfort of the bug-like mechanism clamped around his arm.

"I hate this bracer...."

The bracelet/bracer thing was clamped around Ward's wrist so tight one would think it was made for a man half his size. It would have fit Kiros like a glove, fit Ward like a boa constrictor.

"Maybe i can knock it off..."

With a great back swing, Ward flung his bracer against a nearby metallic door, two, three times. Each swing was met with a small flurry of sparks and the light static one would associate with radio interference. The bracer was undamaged.

"Damn trinket..."

Ward rear upwards for one final blow, but caught the glimpse of several stunned contestants through the corner of his eye. They clutched at their bracers, as if to protect them.

"Oh yeah, this thing keeps us from dead. Probably shouldn't break mine..."

Ward stepped back from the wall sheepishly and turned to head down a wide corridor. He'd encountered no beasts yet, but had heard plenty of alien chirps and scuffles, so he knew they were near by.

He had no idea where to find his teammates, or even what to look for. He'd feel stupid simply asking each passerby if they were a apart of his team. Kiros and Laguna came to mind, and sure, he'd keep an eye out for them, but that would be far too much of a coincidence. Either way, a partnership was a must, and Ward was walking blind.

Maybe his teammates would be clever enough to locate him.

"Maybe..."

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round One
Falco was not particularly happy. Not only had he been transported against his will to some sort of tournament that had already been overrun by hostile aliens, he'd never be able to live it down if Fox and the rest of the team saw his ship being destroyed.

"Oh well, might as well make the best of this," Falco thought, "I'm sure I could take on anyone that our host managed to dig up." Checking his equipment, he was relieved to find his blaster still in its holster. He had just recharged and adjusted it a few days ago, so it should work fine.

The hallway Falco was standing in was quiet. Walking towards an intersection, he placed his back against the wall and peered around the corner. Something was at the other end of the hall moving towards him, and it was running fast.

Thinking quickly, Falco ducked back around the corner and hoped whatever it was it hadn't seen him. Hearing it come closer, Falco prepared a surprise attack. Just as the alien turned the corner, Falco jumped out and kicked the thing in the leg with all his strength.

The unexpected blow caused the creature to hit the ground. It dropped what resembled a large harpoon, which landed a few meters away from him.

"I heard there were aliens here, but I didn't expect them to be this ugly," Falco remarked, levelling his blaster and preparing to finish it off with a shot to the head. The alien began waving its arms in protest. That's when Falco noticed the bracer on its wrist.

"So you're one of the contestents, eh?" Falco asked, not knowing if the man wanted a fight or not, "bring it on!"

Black mage wanders his little, quiet bit of the facility, looking for people. He turns a corner, and...

Black Mage spies Kuja ahead, and walks up to him.

"That robe looks really nice on you, but baby, it'd look even better on my bedroom floor!"

Kuja looks at BM with a evil look in his eyes.

Hmmmmm, this one's a toughie...

"Are you from Venus? 'Cause baby, your ass is outta 'dis world!"

Kuja reaches for BM in a threatening way. BM jumps back. Whoa, baby. You don't have to... don't have to....MY GOD! You're a MAN! ummmm....ignore what I said earlier.

"What's that beeping noise?" Looks down at his wrist. "Match"??? What's that mean?

Kuja gruffly says, "It means that you and I have to work together to live. Why am I surrounded by incompetent fools?"

"Incompetent fools? You mean *Gasp* FIGHTER'S HERE?!?!"
"Fighter?"
"Yeah, walks around in red armor, talking about some of the stupidest things you've ever heard."
"Nope."
"YESSSS!!!!! No more Fighter!!!! Free of stupidity!!!"
"Why do I put up with this?"
"Put up with what?"
"Never mind. Let's just go find Billy again."
"Billy?"
"Our other partner. He can't be far, I sent him to scout the place out. Now let's go."
"This sounds like an adventure. That can't be good..."

Kuja and Black Mage walk of in the direction Billy was last going...

They turned a corner, hoping that this was indeed the direction their Ranger partner with the funny collar had gone in.

"Soo..." Black Mage said, still sidling away from the rather pretty man, "...why do you dress like that anyway?"

Kuja simply glared as they turned another corner.

"Right....you know, there's this Black Belt guy yo--"

*BOMSKREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

"--AAAAAHH! SON OF A FOREST IMP! RUN! RUN AWAY!"

Glorious explosions followed them, along with loud, attention-breaking mechanical shrieks. Both mages picked up their skirts and ran like hell.

Re: Oops, I did it again...
Just as Kuja and BM are starting to head out Kuja suddenly turns to the creature he had stunned earlier. ( Billy's wrong. ) And with an unstretched hand he burns what little life is left in the creature out of it with a fire spell. The smell of burnt flesh fills the room. BM jumps back. " whoa you can do Black magic? YAY someone else who can do Black magic!" Kuja wasn't even listening though. He just stared down at the creature and was tempted to do the same thing Billy did earlier. ( Why do I feel like this? I've never had this feeling when I killed anything else, so why do I feel it now? I hate this emotion I hate it, WHAT THE HELL!) Kuja suddenly came out of it and realized BM was puking him with his dagger! Kuja snapped away " What the hell do you think you doing!" BM jumped back " ummm shouldn't go and find this Billy guy. I mean so you can do black magic that's really cool and all, but you don't have to stand there and just stare at forevery. Come one let's go!" And with that BM began to walk again. ( Why me?). And with that Kuja followed.

Act 1, Scene 4 - "Helmet"
Ivan and the guard - Barney - leant against a wall, panting. "That - pant - was dis - pant - gusting!"

Barney wiped some Squirrel-vomit off his forehead and onto the wall. "Where were we?"

"I have no idea." Ivan was still rattled from the experience - but at least he could feel his arm now. "Is there somewhere around here we can clean this off?"

The guard removed his helmet and scratched his head. "Well, there's the communal showers.. but I really think we should get out of here. Who knows what else is going to turn up out of that damn riftaaaaaahHHHHHH!!!"

The scream, of course, wasn't intentional - more a result of the monster that just crushed his head. Ivan reeled back and fired a Storm Ray into it, scattering it into pieces across the wall, green sludge coating it. Ivan moved to the guard to look at him, then turned away, retching violently.

"This place is sick. I need to do somethin - but first..." he broke of, spying a familiar orange figure.

"Heh. Gust, come forth!" A small blue Djinn materialised infront of him, letting out a squeak that attracted the squirrel's attention. "What the hell is that shit?" Conker drawled, as Ivan's face twitched upwards in a wry grin. "Let him have it, buddy."

The Djinn looked at Ivan, squeaked again, then turned to Conker, let out one more squeak and launched itself at the unsuspecting squirrel. As Gust impacted on him, it dissolved into a barrage of wind attacks, blasting him into the wall.

Ivan held out his hand, absorbing the Djinn's essence again, and walked off, an intent expression on his face. Something was badly wrong here, and he would fix it.

Poor Barney. This is why we wear safety helmets, folks!

Absorb - 1 damage to Conker, 1 healing to... hm. Vivi.

Edit from about 10 mins later: Uh... that goes... uh... yeah. Somewhere. Put it somewhere chronologically before Conker meets Darkken's un-spellable character :)

Meeting of the samurai and the squirrel
Conker took a few steps backwards. Three ugly, mean, nasty and FRIGGING TOUGH LOOKING aliens were standing between him and the way out. Conker was used to drunken scuffles, but this was no longer his style. Expressing these feelings in the lovable, amiable way that was his pride, he gathered his breath for a plea of peace:

"Yo! You guys wouldn't... er.... wanna settle this thing... ya know... over a drink... maybe?"

Yamazaki walked down the corridors, stopping always now and then to decapacitate another alien. The creatures had started to remove themselves from his presence on their own, it seemed - clearly they weren't quite as stupid, or quite as fanatical, as demons.

However, it couldn't be this easy. Obviously, they would try to take him down sooner or later... they would probably try to ambush him, like the first creature had. Therefore, it would be in his best interests to kill as many of the things as he could. Whoever had said that offense was the best defense was clearly correct.

-----

One of the three aliens begun to advance towards Conker. Its gigantic lips - that's what Conker thought they were, anyway - began to pulsate rhythmically, it's one, gigantic eye began to grow larger as it focused into the poor squarrel. It opened its mouth, revealing several rows of extremely sharp, knife-like teeth, that it savored with a gigantic, sharp-ended tongue.

Conker took a few steps backwards, starting to sweat. "I know I'm irresistible, madam, but I've gotta tell ya... how should I say this... YOU'RE BUTT UGLY! Nonononono, I mean, I'M A TAKEN MAN! I mean, er-"

Conkers back hit a closed door behind him. He turned around to look, only to see the back of a cowardly scientist disappearing from the door on the other side of the room.

"YOU DIRTY LITTLE- YOU COME RIGHT BACK THIS INSTANT, YOU-"

-----

Yamazaki turned at a crossroads, starting to walk to a new direction for a change. He had only walked for a few seconds, when he noticed three aliens around a corner. Slightly frowning, he changed his direction, advancing towards the creatures.

-----

Conker pressed himself on the closed door, hoping that he could squeeze himself through the lock or something. That was rather hopeless

"OK, you ugly little runt, I'M GONNA MAKE YA WISH ya had been made one of those TENTACLE HENTAI MONSTERS INSTEAD! PREPARE yourself for the SLACKIN' OF YOUR- huh?"

Conker never get to finish his speech, as the alien had turned around to face a different foe.

The man walked towards the alien with a slight look of insispidity on his face. He had long, silvery hair, and he was dressed in a military uniform, with a black cape on his shoulders, underneath which the handles of two swords were sticking up. He hardly even looked at the monsters, just unsheathed both of his swords skilfully and, for the lack of better word, cut them into pieces. The third monster screamed and charged at the man, who responded by thrusting his katana through it, pinning it to the door. The katana missed Conker by centimetres, and then, the entire mass of the one-eyed alien fell on him, making Conker gasp for air as he tried to squeeze his way out from underneath it.

Meanwhile, Yamazaki removed his sword from the innards of the creature, and did his best to clean the blood from the blade with a cloth he'd picked up earlier. Conker finally managed to get up from underneath the dead alien, and begun to gather his breath to give a piece of his mind to his unexpected, and extremely rude, saviour. "Goddamn it! WHY DID YOU-" Conker started, jumping angrily on the floor. He was stopped by Yamazaki, whose blade stopped an inch of the creature's throat.

"NO! DON'T KILL ME!" Conker said, very politely and amiably, he felt. Somewhat interested, Yamazaki took his blade a bit further away from the creature, studying him with his skilled eyes.

"Ah... so some of these aliens can actually talk?" he wondered aloud, his blade steady as ever.

Forgetting the sword again, Conker exploded. "I'M NOT A GODDAMN ALIEN, YOU BITCH!"

"Your mouth definitely is quite monstrous", Yamazaki said coldly, trying to make up his mind on whether to kill this irritable oversized squirrel or not. "Of course. I should have recognized that shrill voice of yours sooner. You're the one from that loudspeaker incident..."

Conker swallowed audiably, wondering what this clearly psychotic man would do next.

Suddenly, Yamazaki's eyes saw the bracer in the creature's hand, and noted that he had to be speaking the truth. "Perfect", he pointed out. "I'd been looking for a change to make my list of contestants one shorter. Die." Quickly, he raised his blade, and stroke it down with one skilful blow-

Suddenly, a strange force hit him, throwing him several metres into the air. Yamazaki snarled and made a somersault in the air, landing back on his feet. The squirrel was cowering in fear, looking with one eye behind his arms, but was clearly unhurt.

Suddenly, Yamazaki noted his bracer glowing, much like the squirrel creature's. His eyes sharpened more than ever before, and his lips clenched into a tight, shocked expression.

"Don't tell me... you... are one of my teammates?" Yamazaki asked, his voice bearing a note of intense hatred.

Kung-fu
EDIT: Blah, I hate it when you make a long drawn out post, then have to edit it. Such is the life.

Conker looked at the samurai. "Well uh... I guess I am. I'm Conker. Conker Squirrel. Nice to... Meet ya?"

The Samurai gave Conker a cold expression. A bitter one.
"Yamazaki Shinnosuke."

"Alright. How about just Yama? Or Yami? Wait, wait Shinn-Shinn!"

"Why you little rodent!" Yamazaki grabbed Conker's neck, trying to strangle the life out of him. In his anger he forgot that he would be affected as well. Yamazaki choked as well, and rleased Conker from his grasp.

"Are you normally this cocky?" He said evilly.

"Well, now that you can't touch me, yeah."

"I WILL have it arranged for the removal of these bracelets. And when they do come off, I will have your life."

"Oooh I'm scared!" Conker pulled out a Katana from his back "Look-at-meeee! I will have your life! Duuuuuuh!"

Yamazaki's face turned red with anger.

"I'm just messing with ya! Relax! We'll hand out some ass whooping to anything that gets in our way now!"

"I hope you can actually fight, for your comic relief is weak."

"Shit, if this Katana doesn't work, this baby will!" Conker pulled out a rocket launcher.

"I may have found a decent ally after all... Let's find the other of our team." The two left in search for the third team member.


"Oh yeah, I'm gonna get tanked tonight!"

Why do I get stuck with the retards?
Billy followed the sound of the explosion. Man, this can't be good, he thought. Explosions were going off, but this one was in the direction where Kuja had been. Billy began to run, worried now.

He turned a corner, and Kuja was in the same place he was before. He was examing the carcass of the dead monster. Billy noted that it had moved. Seems it wasn't dead after all...

His thoughts were intrerupted by a short man in blue robes running straight towards him, a dagger in his hand. "AAAAAHHHHH!!!" yelled the little man, as he attempted to stab Billy.

Billy grabbed the little man by his head and held him at arm's length. The man swung his dagger over and over, but his arms couldn't reach Billy. He noticed that both this guy and Kuja seemed burnt.

Kuja looked up. "Oh, hello again, Billy. This is Black Mage, and he happens to be our last teammate." Kuja didn't look happy about the arangement.

"Wha...? You mean this kid is working with us?" cried the Mage. "Well, I guess you can't have too many human shields... erm, I mean partners."

Billy ignored Black Mage's comment. He shook his head. "I leave you alone for a minute, and you manage to get attacked and run into this thing," said Billy, nodding at Black Mage. "Why do I have the feeling that I'm going to have to drag your sorry butts out of trouble all the time?"

Kuja winced. "Yes, I seem to have been hurt. It seems that some of the people aren't nice enough to wait to attack." Black Mage muttered something about how he wished it was him blowing up Kuja and Billy.

Billy took a deep breath, and concentrated. "O lord, bestow upon me the power of life, and rain down your Holy Light," he chanted. A bright white light engulfed both Kuja and Black Mage. It swirled around them, entering their wounds, healing them. It faded, and Black Mage was staring at himself, wide-eyed.

"I found an area not far from here where there seems to be a bit of action," stated Billy. "I think that we should move. It's not good to stay in one place..."

---

I've enacted Herbology, and have used both an R-vote on Kuja and Black Mage

Therefore, there should be two R-votes on both Kuja and Black Mage.

Remaining:
6 A's
4 R's

Re: Making the move
Scarlett laughed hysterically as the annoying guys in robes scuttled away.

"Well, I don't think it's funny, lady," Gilder growled, clutching at his arm. His eyes were huffily twitching. He'd picked up a bit of shrapnil.

"Oh, shut up," Scarlett laughed as she bent over, making for the anklet of potions. "And take off your coat for a second. You'll like this."

Gilder laughed a bit through the pain. "Funny time to choose, lady," he said. "And funny place, I might add..."

She snapped a pair of potions and a small dropper-bottle of something pale green. "Then we'll move," she purred, pulling to a stand slowly in oder to give him a tempting angle.

"Um, Scarlett...."

She smirked. "I said I'd patch you up, didn't I?"

He got it...sort of.

She beckoned with a finger and a flicker of the hallway light in her eye, then headed for a nearby door. "After this you can go hunt up those guys, and I'll hut up our other teammate." She pushed a keypad next to the door to open it.

Then gasped.

And shut it rather quickly. "Gilder?"

"Yes?"

"Hate to do this to you, but...gotta save the alchemy for later. Run." She tossed him a potion-tablet and sauntered off, heels clicking erratically on the tiles. "Break it in half and swallow it. And I'd back away from that door if I were you."

"Takes a path you didn't choose..."
Uglier than Tzenker, Lise noted as she dodged back from a lumbering swipe. The alien was fairly hard to describe beyond ugly, grotesque and a large ball of lard perhaps.

Failing lighting wasn't helping in this hallway, and she rather preferred the woodsy nature of the Moodlight Forest back home and its werewolves. At least werewolves had some natural beauty and better temperment.

Suddenly the lights above kicked back to full strength blinding her and the alien with their intenseness, but Lise recovered faster, drawing her spear up and stabbing forcefully into the body. A hideous screech, almost an "Eeeee!" kind of sound eminated from it somewhere - and she withdrew the spear quickly and moved back.

Miss Lise, do you really have time for this~?

Lise rolled her eyes, backtracking as she saw another ugly beast at the ned of the hallway.

Well, no, but I didn't ask for them to get in my way. They're more annoying than Navarre thieves and- and... ghosts!

She stabbed again, and tensed as she prepared to utilize her newest attack ability. "Alright you ugly, overgrown, motheaten, unwelcome guests, its time you leanred not to mess with people who have better arses to kick and other names to take!"

She leapt up then, focusing her power into the spear as she whirled it once to draw the power, and unleashed three discs that went soaring through the hallway and struck their targets.

Three?

She looked down at the far end to see that there had been one of the other people down there who had been caught in the crossfire.

Not intended really, but its one less headache for em to worry about. After all, this is why I'm here, isn't it?

Edit: That IS an A-vote from me. I'm *trying* to make it stick out.

Hey, wait a sec! Since when was I a Warrior, Krizak!? I thought we already discussed and determined she was an Adept. ><;;; (Read: Lise is NOT 100% combat; she's a mix - I KNOW we talked about Lise's class... *shrugs* I'f I'm stuck, I'm stuck, but whatever. I'd prefer it be corrected, but I'll live and compensate otherwise. ......) For that matter... (not to be picky, but I thought I'd better note this) ...how the heck is KyleIII sposnoring Falco AND Ward? :D *chuckles* *passes a giant eraser around* I think its going to be one of those weeks.

(Ok, so I'm still vexed about my PC, and add in the fact I did NOT get alot of sleep last night - or much as of late, and it adds up.)
