Act 3, Scene 2 - "Visor"
He emerged into bright sunlight. Above him, the yellow sun hung low in a blue-red sky, illuminating a grand cityscape like nothing he had ever seen. Miles upon miles of buildings, shooting up into the sky from a ground too far down to make out.

"So this is what happens when man tries to reach the stars, eh?" he mused to himself, before setting a foot onto the graceful walkway that spanned from this building to the next.

Stopping on the other side, he knelt down and touched the walkway. Earth. Heh. This should be Isaac's job really... but I can do this as well as he can.

Stretching out his thoughts, his psynergy spread through the ground like a net of energy, brushing the minds of the people around him, searching for the Red Mage, and the Black Wind. People, he found. But not his friends.

Standing, he wiped the sweat from his face. This 'tournament' was certainly stretching his powers, showing him new ways to use them. He turned at a sound, but sighed. It was just the squirrel - hardly worth his attention anymore. He had more important things to consider. Raising his hand to his ey - well, where his eyes were, under the visor, he peered into the distance - and his vision shifted, zoomed in. This visor is rather useful! Still, no sign of Vivi or Kaze. But he did see someone else he recognised...

"Guys... take care. I'll find you soon. For the moment, this is more important..."

GET OUT!!! NOW!!!!!
Billy pressed his face against one of the pods. Although some had a type of armor in them, others were left empty, Billy suspected, to let the user coustomize his armor. Billy pressed a hand against the door and it swung open suddenly. A small ammount of steam billowed out as an open area was revealed. Billy climbed into the pod, and it closed behind him.

Options swirled around him, and Billy just picked randomly. He couldn't be harmed anymore... why bother for armor? He felt a sudden tickling on his back, and reached behind him to scratch. His hand met cold metal. Billy's eyes widened as the pod opened. He stepped out and walked out of the room.

OOC: My armor looks somewhat like this, but without the pointy head.

When entering the hallway outside the room, he slammed into someone who was walking very quickly towards the elevator. Billy looked at her closely. She wore emerald-green armor which complimented her, and she had eyes the same color as her armor. Her hair was a deep red. She seemed to not want to make eye contact with anyone, but her eyes locked with Billy's when she ran into him.

She looked scared.

Mumbling a small sorry, she headed towards the elevators once again, but stopped. She turned around, as if contemplating something. Then she ran towards Billy, took his armored hand in hers, and pulled him towards the elevator. Billy entered, confused. The elevator plunged down, hundreds of stories.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," cried the girl to herself. "I never meaned to do this, they're wrong, I can't do this." She began sobbing on her metal sleeve.

Billy sat next to her on the elevator floor. He looked into her eyes. "What's wrong?"

She looked up with tearful eyes. "You don't know, do you? How much pain I went through to do this? My mom and dad said that only I could do this, that only I had access to this building. They told me to go in and-" She broke off crying.

Billy put his arm around her. "What did you do?" he asked, calmingly. "It can't be that bad. Come on, cheer up."

She looked at Billy. She forced a smile, although Billy could see that she was still devestated by whatever she had done. "I know that I'm responsible for what happens," she said. "That when this building blows up, and if the government track us down, that it'll be me who is executed."

Billy stared at her. "What?" he asked in a hollow voice.

She began crying again as the elevator reached the first floor.

---

Yeah, you heard me. A bomb is in the building.

You had better find a way out fast, or get a type of armor which can withstand explosions and a 255-story-drop.

Oh, and by the way... I'm picking the energy attachment.

Did you notice that the two great angels only have one wing each...?

According to a legend handed down in Nisan...
God could have created humans perfectly...
But then, humans would not have helped each other...
So that is what these great single-winged angels symbolizes...

I REALLY need to go to work now, running late!
"Finished?" Scarlett asked languidly when the two men eventually left the church. Ramirez had simply walked in without a word of explaination and Gilder had followed to keep an eye on him, watching his back while Scarlett waited outside. The sight of her waiting on the street corner in her cybernetic getup was probably both incongruous and intentional on her part, given her wicked sense of humour.

"No... this will not be finished until we return to our worlds," Ramirez replied crytically - it wasn't as if he was intentionally trying to be, just that neither Gilder or Scarlett understood what he meant.

"Right, riiight," the engineer said almost mockingly but carefully controlled her voice to stop it leaking through to the two men. "But in the meantime, you have something in mind?"

Gilder turned to face her, stepping out from the shade cast by the slowly crumbling masonry. "Not really - we just do what we have to. Let's just - get down!" he shouted, his hand diving for his pistol. The armoured suit had apparently noticed the frantic movement and when the holster on the right hip opened, the spring-loaded mechanism spat the gun into the air instead of merely presenting it. Gilder caught the gun, cocked the hammer and fired in one single motion.

The bullet whined through the air and over Scarlett's back - and thank the moon she had the sense to duck instead of standing and questioning - and slammed into the armoured shoulder of another gunman who was aiming at her from behind. From this distance it didn't have the power to penetrate, but it knocked his own shot off target enough so that it impacted against an nearby wall. Gilder had no idea how much damage her cybernetic body could take and he didn't intend to find out.

As the second gunman regained his balance, another man stepped up from behind and nodded at the gunman in silent communication. He was huge - he must have been the largest man in the tournament before he got the armoured suit, but now he was nothing short of a goliath. With casual ease he bent and picked up a massive four-wheeled vehicle, tossed it a couple of times to get the weight right, then with massive strength hurled it towards them. Gilder switched to his left arm, aiming the moonstone buster, when he realised something fairly important.

He didn't have the faintest idea how to fire it.

A terrifying clicking noise emerged from the buster as Gilder's finger squeezed again and again on the trigger hanging within his grip, but nothing was happening. It was like attempting to fire his pistol with no moonstone cartridge slotted into the barrel, and as large wheeled death hurtled through the air a burst of flame shot out from below. Scarlett, recovering from the swift attack, was blasting a tremendous column of flame at the car from her adapted arm, slowing its momentum down. But not enough.

"This one is mine," Ramirez stated from behind them, settling himself into the battoujutsi sheath stance and focusing intently on the incoming, now-flaming wreck. An intense look of concentration ran through his green eyes, hand poised above the hilt of his silver sword as he waited for the perfect moment. Then he moved, a black-armoured blur that seemed to leap from sight, and an arc of silver sliced the air as the two halves of the vehicle flew spinning off to either side.

As the one on the right hammered into a nearby building, it lurched towards the other team as the car half smashed into one of the remaining building supports. Finally noticing that the moonstones in the buster cannon were slightly raised, Gilder pushed the red one down with the hilt of the revolver and pulled the cannon's trigger again. This time several firebolts shot through the air, slamming into another support, and with a horrible creaking groan part of the building collapsed onto the two fighters.

Sighing and turning around, holstering his pistol while Ramirez wiped the oil clean from his blade and resheathing it, Gilder got a second surprise to find Scarlett standing over the body of a third fighter, seemingly composed of pure fire encased in half-armour.

"Wha? How did you get behind us?" he blurted out?

Scarlett grinned at him. "This body's a lot faster than you might think, sailor boy, and you two were so focused on that car. Once I realised my flamethrower wouldn't stop it, I stopped firing and saw this piece of work coming up behind us."

Ramirez frowned, unemtional as always. "Surely you could not have taken a man of fire with that weapon?"

"Oh? I never said I used that weapon," she replied, casual as always and smirking at the two men. "A woman has her ways, after all, and never reveals all her cards at the same time."

Re: I REALLY need to go to work now, running late!

Scarlett laughed. "Which reminds me," said, "would you two gentlemen back away for a moment? Preferrably not under anything precariously perched."

Gilder nodded. "Right. We'll meet you by the main building."

"Or on the way," Scarlett finished for him quickly. "This won't take long at all."

As her teammates departed, she set to work trapping the area.

It was going to get very, very loud as soon as these boys woke up.

Reflections on the Past
Don't kick yourself, Krizak. Nobody's perfect, and nobody's expecting you to be perfect. What counts is, everyone's having a lot of fun, right? So don't worry. As long as people write great stuff and have a great time, the tournament will be successful.

-----

Yamazaki looked calmly at the dragonboy as he told them about their new location. His look held neither hate or sympathy, mere curiousity for this being that had captured them all as actors in his divine comedy. Yamazaki could but wonder the purpose behind this contest, now that he could look at it as an outsider due to the loss of his team. He hadn't given much thought to his surroundings before, but the answer came to him just as quickly.

These last two days, I've only concentrated on fighting.

Yamazaki knew the reason why. He had believed that by winning, he might find out something about himself as well. Yamazaki had been caught into this strange world against his will. But perhaps it had been divine providence... the only thing that could have shaked his heart out of the loss of his comrade and the loss of his love. Yamazaki had left the human world willingly, left in order to atone, left in order to find a new way for himself. He had found absolutely nothing. Nothing but the emptiness within himself, the aching holes of Yoneda, Ayame and Kazuma.

Ayame...

As he had come to this world, he had instantly known that the 'team' in which he had been placed had been removed from the actual tournament. It had not surprised, with those two barbaric animals. But now, as he no longer was a contestant, he knew he could concentrate on other things. At least those two stupid animals would be out of his hair now. And...

...My game is just starting.

Yamazaki looked with interest at one particular armor, which he instantly knew to be his. Sleek, blue and black, decorated like samurai armor, armed with a gigantic nodachi, it was much like his soul armor had been, only human-sized. As he climbed in, Yamazaki felt immediately accustomed to the unique armor.

Stepping out on the war-torn city, he snickered at the foolishness of its people. Fighting for petty reasons, killing each other for pettey reasons.

How different this is from the Demon War...

Or was it? Was it that different? In the Demon War, he and his comrades had fought for what they believed in, fought to save mankind. On the surface, it seemed a noble cause, a good cause. But...

Kazuma had died. War was death, there was no denying it. No matter what the reason behind the bloodshed was, one thing was clear - people died, people's hopes died. Yamazaki smiled bitterly. He, too, was a slayer of hope, then. Yamazaki had been born a warrior, raised as a warrior, his soul forged in the fires of war to the shape as perfect and hard as the katana he wielded. He was a samurai. He was also a soldier. He knew how to kill quickly and mercilessly, and he had never felt the slightest amount of doubt for himself while doing it.

A soldier? Would the word 'killer' be more approriate?

In the human world, people are born to be killers.

No, Yamazaki could place no blame on the people of this world. They were foolish and worthless, perhaps, but still, they fought with all their strength and all their hearts. Foolish, worthless, meaningless... but such was the life of humans, endless fighting. Fighting for survival, fighting for empty causes.

No, Yamazaki could not blame them if they tried to fight him...

They would die as quickly.

My NPCs have funny names
The double doors of the elevator opened, and several people crowded into the small space. Billy reached down and grabbed the girl's hand. She was still crying. Billy leaned over to her ear and whispered something.

"When is it set to go off?"

She sniffled. "An hour." Billy looked at her sternly. Even with guards this close, she didn't bother to keep her voice down. In fact, it seemed that she didn't care what happened to her at all. Billy grabbed her hand and began leading her around the building, while she was still sobbing. He spotted a door which looked like it opened to a restroom, and pulled her in with him.

She gasped. "This is the Men's bathroom!"

That's what shocks you? A bomb's going to go off, and this is what upsets you?

It was a small room, meant for one person at a time. Billy locked the door, then turned to her. She sat down on the seat and resumed crying.

Billy looked into her face. "Where is the bomb?"

She looked at him, puzzled. "Up where you were. The 255th floor. In an executive meeting room. Why?"

Billy closed his eyes. "Because we're going to go up there and disarm it."

She shook her head violently. "Do you think that I haven't thought of that? The entire area's guarded. We only have an hour. The bomb is nearly impossible to disarm. Plus, if I go back on this, the Resistance will kill me..."

Billy looked her in the eyes. "Sometimes you have to do what is right even though it's the hardest thing in the world to do. Thousands of people will die because of that blast. Do you really want to be responsible for that?"

She looked Billy in the eyes. "... No."

"Then come on. We still have an hour. We can still change things. There's hope."

She smiled, the first time since Billy saw her. Her smile was beautiful. Billy felt his stomach get funny.

"OK, let's go."

Billy put his hand on the door knob. A thought entered his mind. "You know, we haven't introduced ourselves yet. My name is Billy Lee Black. What's yours?"

She smiled. "Emilia. Emilia Crescens."

Crescens... Billy's head swam. Was this all a coincidence? Or was something else going on?

In case you haven't noticed, I'm not in with the rebellion or the government. Me and my NPC are going separately, so I guess you could say that we're neutral.

Brainsick Metal...
Blue noted the elevators at one end of the hall, and ignored them. He stepped into an empty office and looked around. Let's see... Coffeemaker... Desk toy... Picture of family... Some things don't change, no matter what world you're in. Now, then... Ah. He found the item he was looking for, and pressed a button on it. Steel panels slid aside along one wall, revealing a huge window. Blue stepped up to it and gazed out.

Why... it's Manhattan! The cityscape that stretched below him could only be compared to the large steel-and-glass metropolis that housed the complex of Trinity research labs, offices, and other miscellaneous buildings. He tapped the window experimentally. Most likely bombproof... The only thing that might hurt it is crashing a fully-fueled region ship into it... But, let's see if it can handle... He stepped back, his eyes falling to the cannon on his left arm. It hummed, and a pale blue energy beam formed out of it. Blue cautiously thrust the beam into the window, where it sparked and hissed, but wore away at the strong transparent material. Within a few minutes, he had a sizable hole.

That's that, then... might as well see if these jets work as advertised. He grinned to himself... and stepped through the window.

It occurred to him as he was tilting forward that he didn't know quite how to work the jets. Ah, well, I've got 255 floors to figure it out. Whether plummeting headfirst past midair roadways will help or hinder... remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, on the ground...

"Hey, you hear something?" Scarlett turned to her teammates.

"What," Gilder remarked, "Like a screaming mage falling headfirst out a window?"

" Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!" A blue blur suddenly flashed towards the ground, curving upward at the last moment. The shape swept by them, swirling up a cloud of dust and scattered rubbish.

"Yes," remarked Scarlett, "Exactly like a screaming mage falling headfirst out a window."

And my minigame from Round Two is still on, since no one even took a stab at it. Remember, gameplay error in my intro, typo in the spell list.
Here's a hint on the gameplay error: Think about Ward and Kaze, then think of the party members.
And a hint on the typo: "I spy with my little eye..."

Nice, shiny R-votes await those intrepid adventurers who take the time to slog through my adjective-laden prose. Note that if a Fallen guesses, the vote can go to someone of their choice.

Re: Reflections on the Past
Issac had already chosen a capsule for himself, albeit dubiously. Suits of metal that enhance our current abilities? It sounds almost too farfetched for me to comprehend... But my Psyenergy should reveal what's within this armored shell, just like Ivan can see hidden objects.

And even as he prepared to scan the enhanced suit within the capsule, he took a moment to admire it. The armor was slightly streamlined but had defined edges to create a light, yet reinforced fit. It had dulled colors of green and a few highlights of yellow across the breastplate. There was a steel scabbard on the back, that looked like it would fit the Gaia Sword perfectly, yet it had some glowing lights near where the hilt should be sheathed. There were odd, rounded grooves on each of the armor's back hand parts that glowed with a similar light as well.

Well, let's see what this thing is made of...

He sent his Psyenergy at the device, but couldn't figure out exactly what made it work. He 'saw' little fibers running up and down the body in a complex pattern, and there seemed to be some sort of force connected to them, but it got really complicated form there---

He pulled his senses out and donned the suit without question, his mind feeling a bit numb from trying to understand the architecture. As he placed the helmet over his head, he almost went into shock as his Psyenergy sense expanded tremendously. He could sense ALL the contestants's auras, the bracer links between the teammates...and...

Ivan.

Why was he chosen, too? And why had they never even gotten more than a passing glance of each other up until this point? He needed answers, it seemed. And Ivan might just have some of his own.

It's high time we met, Ivan. Something tells me that things have changed since I truly saw you last.

Drawing his enhanced Psyenergy abilties together, Issac blew a hole in the floor and jumped down to the next level.

Issac is now equipped with Ayla-25 Personal Reactor, giving him a nice, heathy SP boost. >=D

Re: Tears on my Heart
Hey Krizak,
Don't judge yourself by things you can't control. You can't control when you get the creative influence you need, you can't control not have the time to do something, and you can't control getting hacked.

Many people don't realize how hard your job is. The fact that you are still trying is good enough for me, and I love this new round. :D

Ok this is just to get my choices in before it's too late. I'm going to end up choosing the Assault Forces for the......Rebels. I might change this if I see that other on my team don't agree or if too many people are on this side.

My armor will be....The energy one.

Edit 1: ok Izzy, sense you got here first, our entire team is now going to be for the rebels, and I believe Terra also wanted to be on the Assault force. Well, we start with 12 A-Votes against us.....what a start.

Edit 2: Now for the story

'Once again the government tries to rule by fear. I must do something. I won't let what happened to my world, happen here!' Golbez thought to himself.

Golbez scanned the chambers in search of the one for him, and to his dismay found that it had been branded with his own name....his real name! Golbez quickly removed his glove and placed his hand over top of the marked metal. As his hand started started to glow a faint red, Golbez looked around to see if anyone noticed what had remained secret for so long. Luckily, the contestants were all to concerned with what was happening with themselves. Golbez removed his hand and smiled to himself, the metal looked as if the name had never been there.

<Please step in, and close the door.>

It was then that Golbez remembered what chambers where for. He stepped in, but just as he was about to close the door he thought better of it. Golbez stepped back and removed his helmet, deciding that it would be better if he first removed his armor that the host had conveniently given back to him.
'Finally I can breath.'
Golbez sneered at the black helmet.
'The armor of a Black Knight. How long ago was it that I trained to be one?'
Golbez let out a sigh, and continued removing his armor to reveal a pair of Navy blue, silk slacks and a deep blue tunic. He then ran his fingers through his hair a couple time in an attempt to remove some of the tangles that came with wearing a helmet.

"What happened?" Gilder asked.

Golbez turned to see Scarlett had barely changed from her usual clothing.

'Hmmm, perhaps the chambers could also just enhance ones normal attributes and equipment.' he thought

Golbez put on his cape, grabbed his sword, and stepped into the chamber.

<Select the a type of armor.>

"What are my choices?"

A screen lit up displaying 3 different sets of armor.

<These are the T-17 Buster Cannon, the Biotheric First-Aid Tool, or the Ayla-25 Personal Reactor>

"These aren't quite what I had in mind." Golbez told the machine with a sigh.

<Then what is your desire?>

"Couldn't you just scan me and enhance my current abilities and equipment?"

<.......>

"Well?"

<....>

"Can it be done?"

<Prognosis is complete, this is what you have been outfitted with, have a nice day>

Golbez stepped out, very satisfied.

_____________________________________________
This is what Golbez will look like


except the red parts of the armor are dark blue, the yellow parts are dark green, the torso is bare (ie shows the slacks he was wearing), and the hair is dark blue (ie almost black).

Act 3, Scene 3 - "Hand"
The figure plummetted down into the depths, as Ivan stared after him.

This can't be avoided any longer... sorry guys.

And with that, Ivan swan-dived off the platform.

The wind whipped at his exposed face and hand - apparently the filmy covering wasn't THAT effective - as he plummeted down between the towering buildings. Ivan's head was filled with a strange sense of euphoria, an adrenaline rush, maybe, but powered up by this strange suit he wore. Without warning, the presence he was following levelled off and landed on one of the walkways. Instinctively, Ivan reached into the back of his mind.

Gust.. come out.

The Jupiter Djinn's essence blasted into every part of his body. Suddenly, he wasn't falling, he was floating on a cushion of air, suspended beside a walkway. Infront of him, a blonde man stood with his back to him, his dull green armour reflecting the glow of the city lights.

"Isaac."

The blonde adept span, half drawing his sword, then grinned. "Ivan! I knew I saw you here! I'm glad you made it this far!" He stepped towards Ivan, stretching out his arm. Ivan raised his own right arm, and muttered one word.

"Slash."

A gust of air, thin as a blade and twice as sharp, smashed into Isaac's chest, almost cutting through the armour he wore. Isaac's expression changed, dropping into a frown, and he whipped his Gaia sword out. "What the?"

Ivan grinned. "Isaac... it's not a coincidence we weren't put on the same team, old friend. It's a test. A test for me."

Isaac looked confused now. "What do you mean?"

"It's all so clear to me, Isaac. We've fought together for so long, and it began to dawn on me, a while back now."

"Spit it out, Ivan. Why did you attack me like that?"

"This is a CONTESt, Isaac. A contest to see who's the strongest, who is greater. Only three people will win - but if we lose, we don't die."

"Yes, I know.." Isaac's eyes became slightly distracted, and Ivan felt the tell-tale signs of Psynergy being used. He whirled, and hurled a bolt of lightning into the crate flying towards him. Then he turned and grinned again.

"See, you're beginning to get the idea, pal. I don't hate you. I just want to fight you. And I'm sorry about the attack there, it wasn't entirely fair, but I had to get your attention, get you thinking straight. You've always been the most powerful of us, or so we thought. I just want to find out if that's true..."

Isaac's brow furrowed, then he nodded.

"You're on. Let's fight."

Over to you, Kyo.

What's in a Name?
****** Glub, glub ******

The Namer strode effortlessly on the now calm skin of the ocean. Her presence did not send so much as a ripple out over the waters. Looking down into the depths any other person would have seen only darkness, she saw only truth.

The hour glass on her staff turned over and the sands ran anew.

“Yes” her eyes snapped open, “Round 2 I name thee; 66 Legs Under The Sea

She coughed as a distant seagull cawed its disapproval. Then taking but a moment to direct a bolt of lightning in the picky bird’s direction The Namer sank below the waves and faded from view.

****** My lameness knows no bounds. ******

I choose the HEALING attachment.

EDIT: I won't pick sides in the conflct just yet.

Re: Act 3, Scene 3 - ""
Everything immediately fell still for a moment, and there was immediate silence between the two new rivals. The feeling of tension between them was almost superheated, to the point that whatever got inbetween them would be obliterated almost immediately. The lights on both of the Psyenergy warriors' suits were flashing rapidly now, as both Issac and Ivan drew their will together.

A flicker of motion, from Ivan's hands, for a moment--

"Ragnarok!" Issac unsheathed his Gaia Blade and swept it downward in a flowing motion, unleashing his Psyenergy as he did so. Ivan let out his Psyenergy in an enormous barrier at the same time, as a shining astral sword rocketed down from the skies and exploded upon the Wind Seer's small frame.

As the smoke cleared, Issac noticed without suprise that Ivan was still standing, unscathed. He called a Dijinni from the back of his mind to ready as Ivan released a counterattack--

"Spark Plasma!"

Granite, Unleash!

The Venus Dijinni appeared milliseconds before the triple bolts of lighting Ivan had called up struck, and deflected the lighting with a glowing earthen barrier. Issac rushed forward at that moment, his sword flashing blue as he prepared a technique Ivan knew only too well. The Wind Seer raised up his arms and enhanced Psyenergy to deflect the attack.

"Whirlwind!"

A maelstom of winds formed from the empty space between the two Adepts, and howled towards Issac with blinding speed, forcing him to use his technique to counter it.

"Cutting Edge!"

The Gaia Blade roared even louder than the twister before Issac as it cleaved the force behind the winds perfectly with a vertical shockwave of blue energy. However, Ivan was forced to dodge the same shockwave, forgetting that his opponent's Psyenergy was also enhanced in the same way his was. Issac sensed that he possessed a temporary advantage, and capitalized on it.

"Stone Spiral!"

Ivan gritted his teeth and summoned Breeze to lessen the damage he would take so he wouldn't be on the defensive anymore. Issac was almost shocked as the Wind Seer gritted through the pain and stood his ground as the falling stalactites he'd summoned connected with his comrade dead-center. He's really changed... None of the timidness and passive weaknesses he had before show in him now. This is going to be difficult...

"Having second thoughts, Issac? Storm Ray!"

Issac cursed as the lightning arced towards him. Damn, I was so suprised that I forgot to keep moving! If that lighting holds me in one place, I'm history!

He raised his arms in a seemingly futile defense--

Beam Shields activated. Commensing powerup-- Complete!

Both contestants stared in shock as a curtian of green energy enveloped Issac, blocking the stream of electricity. As the the shield dissapated, Issac's will hardened even as he marveled at the capabilties of this suit.

That was sheer luck that saved me. I can't--no, I *won't* underestimate Ivan again!

Ivan gave a coensending little smile as he and Issac prepared to go at it again.

Broken Mirror, A Million Shades of Light
Billy peered around the stairway. They had to go via the stairs. Guards were on the elevators, and they couldn't run any risks. Emilia sat down next to Billy, panting after the 255 flights that they had just ascended. Even with the armor, it was a long way to climb.

The hallway was clear. Billy motioned to Emilia to follow him, and they ran down the hallway.

"You know, we're doing this all wrong," said Emilia. "If a normal person sees us sneaking around like this, it'll arouse suspicion. If we just walk normally like we belong here, the average person won't realize that something is wrong."

Billy nodded. They continued down the hallway at a walk.

"How much time is left?" asked Billy. Emilia looked down at the arm of her armor.

"About five minutes."

"Five?!"

"We're almost there, though. It's just around the corner."

Two scientists passed them, wearing white lab armor. Emilia smiled at them. They passed, a frown on one's face.

"We have to get it now," muttered Emilia under her breath. "Let's just go."

They turned the corner, then quickly doubled back as they saw two guards standing in front of two great doors.

"Is it there?" asked Billy, dreading the answer.

"Yeah. How are we going to get them away from the door?"

Billy's eyes darted back to the door in which the armor pods were. "I have an idea."

Billy stood in an open doorway, staring at the pod door. Suddenly, it opened, and a large man walked out. He was wearing bright pink armor. Billy gripped his gun and fired it. The man fell, making a large thud as he landed on the ground.

The two guards came around the corner and saw the man on the ground.

"Hey, what are you doing here? This is a restricted area!"

"....."

"Answer me! Or I'll have to arrest you!"

"....."

One guard turned to the other. "Do you think he's one of those rebels?"

The other guard looked at him. "Who knows? Let's just take him to security for now."

The two guards grabbed Ward under the arms and carried him into the elevator.

"Brilliant!" whispered Emilia. "Let's go!"

The two burst into the room. In the center was a large marble table. Emilia pointed to it. "Under that is the bomb."

Billy got on his back and slid under the table. A very small device, about the size of a pen, was strapped to the table. A little timer was on it.

00:30

00:28

Billy slid out from under the table. "This is a bomb?" he asked. "I don't think that it could do much."

Emilia's eyes widened and she grabbed the device from Billy's hands. "It's a lot more powerful than it looks," she said, opening a small back part of the bomb and pressing tiny buttons.

00:24

00:22

"I can't do it!" screamed Emilia. "I didn't build it! I just set it! I have no idea how to work this thing!"

Billy grabbed the bomb from Emilia's hands. He looked at the back. Red wire... red wire... Billy found a red wire and pulled it.

00:20

00:16

00:12

" AAAAAHHHHH!!!!" screamed Emilia. " WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!?!"

Billy ran to the window. It was opened, seemingly blasted by someone's gun. He flung the bomb outside the window.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM

The shockwave shook through the entire building. Billy could feel the floor wave around him, and fell to his feet. Suddenly, the noise stopped. Billy looked out the window. There was a large black cloud of smoke a little ways away from the building, and the entire side of the structure was charred black. Otherwise, everything seemed safe. He felt Emilia next to him, putting an arm around him. She looked at him, and smiled.

"They're both after us now, you know. The government is after us because they think that we're rebels, and the rebels think that we're traitors."

Billy looked into her eyes. "There's always hope. We'll survive."

A sharp knock was on the door. "Open up!"

Emilia's eyes went wide. "The guards!" she whispered.

Suddenly, the doors broke down. About twenty guards burst in, guns out. As soon as they saw the two, they began firing.

Without thinking, Billy leapt in front of Emilia. The bullets ripped through his armor, and sent him flying back. He slammed into Emilia, and they both tumbled out of the building.

Falling...

Falling...


Billy opened his eyes to see Emilia in her armor reaching down for him. They were plummeting towards the earth, wind whistling around them. Her hand reached Billy's, and she grasped it firmly.

The back of her armor opened up. Where there were simply plates of emerald green were now open, and two large, white metal wings began to unfold. They took shape, spreading wide to slow the descent. Before Billy slipped unconscious, only one thought was on his mind.

Crescens...

Does anyone read these titles?

By the way, Dareon, edit your post. It's streching the screen.

Did you notice that the two great angels only have one wing each...?

According to a legend handed down in Nisan...
God could have created humans perfectly...
But then, humans would not have helped each other...
So that is what these great single-winged angels symbolizes...
In order to fly, they are dependent on one another.

Re: Broken Mirror, A Million Shades of Light
As the room emptied Kuja just stared out a near by window at the glorious scenery. Choas everywhere he loved it. ( This is too perfect, well I guess it's time to get this armor). Kuja walked into a capsule and it close behing him. He pushed a button and it started. He could feel the armor being constructed on him. He then saw options fly across through the air. POWER, HERBOLOGY, ENERGY. Kuja knew exacly which one to push. He reach out his hand and touched POWER. He then felt the strength of his attack spells increase drasticly. ( Yes this power is incredible! Time to really start my compaign. With that he got out of the capsule and looked it his armor. ( Crude, but affective non the less)

Just then he felt a huge shockwave. It didn't bother him much though as he's felt worse. Then he saw something extrodinary out the window. Billy and a girl with... WINGS! ( hmmm what is this? I think I'll have a look. My reonion with Billy is long over do anyway.) With a little stretch of power Kuja blasted the window and began to float towards this mysterious site.
