Re: "There's nothing here that I call holy..."
Kuja awoke. He was groogy from the night before. He had done all he could to save his team, but to avail. He smiled then a most twisted a evil smile. ( I'm still here, my power is still great.. And I can still fight. Vive this well be settled yet. I WELL HAVE VENGENCE!) He felt a huge surge of power rising within him. Something he hadn't felt sense... ( No! not yet anyway.) He managed to surpress the power and looked at his water surroundings. ( My team is nothing to me know. I felt great sensations yesturday. Sensations that I have missed so much. Yes these emotions are supressing my power is returning once again! IT FEELS GLORIOUS!)

Kuja now with his pure and clear self disapeared from where he was....

OOC: please no one do anything with Kuja untill I post again. This is a big moment for him and I don't want anyone else touching it!

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Two
*As he listens to the host speak his verdict of failure, Garai broods...and judging by his face, he is obviously NOT thinking happy thoughts...*

Garai: So...we were eliminated in the first round. How did that happen?! Argh...

*Garai suddenly stops...he doesn't move, not so much as a twitch. But if you could hear what was happening inside of his mind, you would hear a faint rumbling...a rumbling such as you might hear from a volcano, right before it blew its top. The rumbling grows louder and louder...and finally, the eruption comes.*

Garai: ARGH!!! I MAY HAVE LOST, BUT I DON'T HAVE TO BE A GOOD SPORT ABOUT IT!!! I'M A SORE LOSER!!! THERE'S GOING TO BE BLOODSHED FOR THIS!!!

*Garai's face is twisted into an almost demonic expression...he now exudes rage, and he seems to be more of a force of nature than a human swordsman. His face as hard as a rock, Garai begins swimming with sure, precise, angular strokes, showing experience in the water...*

Whales
Billy streaked down through the water, arms out, enjoying himself. This was incredible. Swimming, and being able to breathe, too! He let out a sigh of contentment and rolled over on his back, staring up at the surface of the water about two hundred feet up. He smiled, then laughed as he floated through a school of fish, scattering them in every direction.

He looked around him. A large man sunk quickly past him, weighed down by his harpoon. The small kid named Dath swam quickly down, too, followed by a grumpy-looking Falco and a tiny puff of white fur. None of them were threats anymore.

.......uuuuuooooooooowwwwwwuuuuuuuuwwwwwwwww.......

Billy's thoughts were interupted by a slow, tuneless melody which sang across the ocean. Billy rolled to his side and faced a large creature. It was huge beyond belief. It's eye stared at Billy, wondering what this strange little man was doing in it's ocean.

Billy tensed up, then relaxed. It's a whale, he thought, with giddy relief. He swum up next to it and grabbed onto it's flipper.

Hello, Great One, thougt Billy voicelessly. Will you allow me to travel with you?

It was impossible for the whale to understand him, but Billy had the feeling that it knew what he was saying, anyway. The great majestic beast looked at Billy, then blinked.

It then swam on, allowing Billy to hang onto it's back, singing it's haunting melody. Billy let his machine gun drop into the depths of the ocean. His own guns were waterproof, having lived on the islands, but this military weapon wasn't. Billy gripped the whale's flipper and soared silintly through the water.

All right, if anyone decides to run into me, just remember that I'm riding a whale and I have no desire to fight. Oh, and since I'm a Fallen, the barrier protects me from getting hurt. :p

Re: Rurouni Taikai Tactics - Round Two
*Garai continues swimming on...when suddenly, he spots a prospective victim, walking on the bottom of the ocean. Garai swims closer, his face twisting even more as he recognizes who it is...*

Garai: WARD!!! I owe you from last round...my head still hurts!!!

*As Ward turns around, Garai drops to the ocean floor in front of him. He unsheathes his twin swords, retaining most of the speed he had in the air. Ward pulls out his harpoon...*

Garai: Heh...I've trained underwater before, so here...the advantage is MINE!!!

*Garai gracefully leaps at Ward...Ward brings up his harpoon to counter. But Garai somehow spins aside in midleap, evading the tip of the harpoon...and as his blade comes around, it bats the harpoon away inexoribly. Ward looks stunned that his strength wasn't sufficient to hold his harpoon on target...*

Ward: ......?!

*Garai brings his other blade crashing down onto Ward's left shoulder...it bites in deeply, and even underwater, the sound of crunching bones can be heard. Ward's face changes to a grimace...it contorts even further as Garai's first blade crashes down into Ward's other shoulder, similarly biting in and causing an unpleasant-sounding crunch. Garai grins with sadistic glee...*

Garai: Now, GET OFF MY BLADES!!!

*It's doubtful that Ward even saw Garai's armored boot coming...it's certain, however, that he felt it as it slammed into his face. Ward goes flying back, knocked off of Garai's blades...he lands on the ground, in a heap, his lips split open by the force of Garai's boot. Garai grins sadisticly, and swims off, looking for the next victim of his rage...*

Act 2, Scene 2 - "Serene"
The feeling was strange - falling through an endless sea of water, but with no sense of danger... no drowning.

Isaac? Here? Surely it couldn't be? All this, his drive to be independant, prove he could work alone - prove his worth - and not only was he on a team, but Ivan was here as well?

No!

It couldn't be, surely?

But the waves had washed them apart. The sea had swallowed him, and he was drifting slowly to the bottom, Vivi by his side.

So... peaceful. So serene. Down here there was no clamour, no activity. Even his mind was quiet - no emotions from others clouding his thoughts.

Ivan leant back and floated calmly down through the waters, only vaguely aware of Vivi holding onto his hat, as the little guy bombed to the seabed.

Isaac... if you are here, we'll meet again. For now... let me fall, peacefully.

Re: Act 2, Scene 2 - "Serene"

Garai's attack on Ward had caught him off guard, but despite what the swordsman had thought, Ward was only left shaken. His mobility in the water was slight, his strength, hampered.

Tatics would have to change.

But for now, Ward had no more to do than continue his slow yet stead tromp across the bottom of the Navare Ocean, each step kicking up a cloud of dirt and silk that blurred the already dark surroundings.

Hopefully, his comrades, Ryogo and the talking Steamball would be able to catch him in time to offer a pinch of assitance.

Hopefully the'd have some healing potions with them.

"Hopefully..."

Funtime!

It felt good to get under the water, for some reason. Scarlett had always liked the honesty of swimming, for some reason--one of the few excuses she had not to wear makeup, and one of the few non-destructive activities she could actually picture herself doing for the rest of her life.

There had been a pool in the Executive section of ShinRa that she'd been allowed in as a girl, which her Costan nanny would take her to (motivated by her awful infatuation with Cassius Reeve, but that's beside the point) every afternoon as soon as Mustadio the Vampire Slayer was over. Scarlett remembered the special day each year when her mother would take her to be fitted for new bathing suits--her favorite had been when she turned fourteen, when the designer had exclaimed "Oh, we don't want to hide any of you! You've got what they want, so show it off, dearie!" And the pair of barely-there bikinis she had made were the subject of discussion for many the young grunt for weeks to come...

That had actually been the second-to-last time her mother had gone shopping with her.

She shrugged the rest of the memory as she noticed a fairly decent first target.

It actually was the first woman she'd seen during the tournament. Her hair was tied back in a long, reddish-gold braid, and the blue-and gold monokini she was wearing accented a battle-hardened, slightly butch but still attractive figure. She carried an impressive looking sword, which attracted more attention than her demeanor ordinarily would. Her face was pretty--more "cute" than Scarlett's.

Scarlett grinned, and glanced back at her teammates, ready to beckon them over, but then realized something.

Oh, fuck me! I'm dealing with people who still believe in Chivalry!

She sighed, and it registered as a small contingen of bubbles. Maybe she has some burly teammates they'd be willing to decimate instead...

A nearby man that met such a description caught her eyes.

Her lips curled up into a smile as she turned to face her comrades. With a come-hither gesture, she mouthed, "Oh, boys..."

She twisted the comb between the fingers of one hand, and pulled a ShriekerDEE from her anklet with the other.

Eagerly.

......

[meanwhile, somewhere underneath...]

Laguna swam auound awkwardly, holding onto Yoshi as often as he could and looking around for something to do (or, better yet, someone to see). Two glints of red and one of silver caught his eyes, and he squinted through the water.

Yes! Haha, she's here!

Abandoning Yoshi and Isaac completely, and forgetting in fact that he'd only recently figured out the rudiments of swimming, Laguna paddled and pressed toward her as quickly as he was able, dragging his machine gun along for the ride.

Hyne, she's incredible...and she looks so...natural in the water...

At this point, Scarlett was beckoning to her teammates, indicating a fierce-looking man win a dark bathing suit. She then stretched out her leg elegantly and pulled one of those loud thingies loose from it. The way the water glossed over her skin made Laguna's speedo even more uncomfortable.

He pried his eyes away from her and looked over at her teammates, and dismay started to tack him down. There was that incredibly attractive and composed swordsman, trailing in an aristocratic silver suit, with calm eyes that Laguna was sure Scarlett had already looked into. And then Gilder, who he knew for damn sure Scarlett had flirted with, and was probably a better match for her anyway...younger, cooler, and less likely to cramp up and stammer at her smightest motion...plus, they were teammates. That had to count for something.

He looked over as Scarlett's team prepared to attack the imposing-looking man. Then at Scarlett herself, with her hair practically kissing her skin and such a sexy smile...

He knew what he was going to do.

Re: Act 2, Scene 2 - "Serene"
After hitting the water, Falco was understandably ticked off. After hearing the rules, he yelled back at the dragon-boy, "Did you bring us here simply to piss me off!" Their host offered no response however, and Falco realized he'd have to make the best of his new situation. That didn't mean he had to be happy about it, though.

Reaching down for his blaster, Falco realized his flight suit was gone, and had been replaced by a pair of blue and red swimming trunks. "My flight suit!" he screamed in anger, "I'd better get that thing back!"

"At least I still have my gun," he thought, "I have no idea how well it'll work underwater, though."

At that moment, Dath swam up and decided to splash a handful of water in Falco's face. It took all his self-restraint to not blast the little brat's brains all over the ocean. "Last one to the bottom is a Marlboro!" shouted the kid as he took off under the water. Mog was right behind him.

"Hey idiots, I'm a bird! I'm not much for swimming!" he yelled at their retreating forms, but it was too late. They had already gone under. Letting out a long sigh, Falco dipped his head underwater and prepared to join them.

Re: Act 2, Scene 1. Lending hands, and First inpressions.
Golbez was on the bottom of the ocean, yet he could still hear the draconic man's voice. He was saying something about breathing under water and going to a city. Golbez quickly unbuckled his sword and strapped it on his back. Now he could swim w/o it tangled between his legs. He also noticed that he was only wearing a dark blue pair of swimming trunks, that were quite a bit lighter than his midnight blue, long, wavy hair.

"This could definitely become a problem should we need to fight." Golbez mumbled to himself.

After tieing his hair back with a string of seaweed, Golbez swam up to the surface of the ocean in time to see his partners caught in a small storm.

Golbez swam over to them while chanting a spell. When he got no more than 10 feet from them, a blue light flew from his hands and surrounded his team mates, healing them of their wounds.

"I'm Golbez. You must be Miss Agrias Oaks, and you are Mr. Strago Magus. I saw your little display of magic expertise near the end of the first round. Quite impressive." stated Golbez quite calmly.

He had never quite seen a more beautiful women. Quite astonishing. He also noticed that she had a sworded strapped to her back as well.

"I think we had best head for the City that our host was talking about." Golbez said while reaching over and pressing a button on his team mates Bracers, "They will show you the way, sort of like a compass. Just follow the arro...."

Just then Golbez noticed a faint red liquid in the water. He quickly dove underneath the water and saw a man swim away from a big fellow who had a harpoon and was bleeding quite profusely from two shoulder wounds. Golbez extended one hand and shot a green beam of magic at the Man who was swimming away. The bolt hit him and surrounded him, but then quickly disappeared, leaving his unharmed.

"What the....." Golbez said to himself quite astonished, "Virus should have at least done something to him. He must be a Fallen."

Golbez quickly turned his attention to the large man, who he assumed was Ward who had a shocked look on his face, and was still bleeding.

"Sharks would be here soon," Golbez thought to himself, "Or whatever passed for sharks in this world."

And no sooner had the words 'left his mouth' did he see 2 of them in the distance. Agrias pulled out her sword are shot a bolt of electricity toward the first, frying it were it swam, while Strago disposed of the other.
Golbez turned toward his team mates, thankful that they had followed him under, and then swam toward Ward. Golbez placed a hand on Ward's head, and projected his thought's into his head saying
"Hold still, I will do what I can for your wounds."
Golbez then moved his hands and placed each over top of the shoulder wounds. His hands started to glow a faint blue, and the light then moved from his hands to Ward's shoulders. The wounds started to heal, if quite slowly. After almost a full minute, Golbez removed his hands and once again placed it on Ward's head.
"I'm sorry I can't do more, but at least I managed to stop the bleeding."
Golbez turned toward his team mates and signaled that he thought that it would be best if they continued toward Navare.

Gurgle glurble glug glub
Ryogo had only swum down a few feet when something important occurred to him. He had just taken his guns under water, and unless they were of a better quality than he expected they were useless now. But being the eternal optimist he was he decided to test them before throwing them away. Turning around to face the surface the wanzer pilot took aim at one of the few contestants still bobbing on the surface. Using his ZoomI skill he focused in on the target and squeezed the gun's trigger. Amazingly the submergence hadn't damaged the weapon at all, and the bullet flew straight and true, slamming into the unsuspecting target's leg.

"Glurble!" (alright) he shouted, "Glug glurble glug glug." (I'm still in this game).

From his nearby cloak of steam Cinder watched his teammate gloat. Even underwater, the fiery brawler thought, He still doesn't shut up.

Ryogo turned back to Cinder and pointed down to the ocean's depths. "Glub glug gurgle glub glub!" (Okay, now let's go find Ward) he yelled. With the steam cloud trailing behind him Ryogo swam down after his sinking friend.

Laguna Loire: 2-2 "Splish, Splash, Takin' a Bath
Laguna Loire: 2-2
Splish, Splash, Takin' a Bath


Laguna nodded in agreement with Isaac's plan and dove underwater, doggie-paddling for all he was worth. He wasn't making very good time, though, and grabbing Yoshi's tail wasn't as effective as he would have liked. With a sigh he stopped his doomed chase of the lizard guy (who promptly disappeared in the distance now that he didn't have some loser grabbing his rear end) and kept with the mutilated swimming attempts.

Learning to swim is a hell of a lot easier when you don't have to worry about drowning, he mused, and spent a few moments examining the moves of other people. The arms like that and kick with the feet and... WHOA! Suddenly Laguna made an advance of about ten yards, surprising the hell out of himself.

"Hee hee hee!" he chuckled, although it came out sounding more like "Glub, glub, glub!"

With a slow motion he did a somersault under the water, a goofy grin on his face. He came to a stop facing the other direction, just in time to see the finale of Garai's attack on Ward. The villainous attacker booted Ward in the face and then swam off.

"Hey, you're a sore loser, weenie-boy!" Laguna yelled as he struggled to get closer to Ward. He floated aimlessly for a bit until he remembered what to do with his arms. By the time he reached the big man Ward was on his feet and continuing his tramp towards the light in the distance.

"Hey man!" Laguna called gladly, slapping Ward on the shoulder. Ward winced. Laguna winced. Ward looked at Laguna's purple Speedo and winced again. Laguna looked down, winced and then blushed.

"Uh, sorry about that, big guy," Laguna said, apologizing for more than just the smack on the wounded shoulder. With a wink he tossed Ward a potion and watched, flabbergasted, as it floated serenely in the wrong direction. Laguna scratched his head. This underwater stuff is gonna be hard to adjust to, he mused. Ward stretched out one muscular and LONG arm, catching the item neatly.

"....." he said. Laguna nodded in acknowledgment and waved happily.

"I gotta find my guys, Ward, but take that potion and you'll feel better in no time! Later, dude!" Laguna waved again and began to swim after Yoshi, resisting the urge to make sure his butt crack wasn't showing.

Eh, screw it, it's not like Ward would be looking anyway.

Laguna was starting to get the hang of this swimming stuff and he tootled along pretty well for a while until he caught sight of the crimson bikini again.

Oh man, it's HER!

Laguna looked after the long-disappeared Yoshi, realizing in the process that Isaac still hadn't shown up.

Oh well, it's not like my team has the best track record for staying together, anyways. I think I'll just check this out real quick.

Hyne, she's incredible... and she looks so... natural in the water...

He paused in his swimming, unsure of how to proceed. Doubts about the other men around her assailed his mind and Kiros' voice chided him once again:

***

"Can you really carry on a conversation with Julia? Make sure the conversation's sophisticated," said Ward.

Laguna had replied with false self-confidence, "No worries, man! That's like, my specialty!"

Kiros had choked on his drink and got slammed on the back by Ward. "One wouldn't say you converse, though... All you do is yap-yap-yap and never listen."


***

Laguna smiled with the reminiscence. "Kiros would be surprised to see me now. I can hardly put two words together around this woman. She scares me more than even Raine did when I first met her!"

Scarlett pulled the Shrieker from her anklet, immediately garnering Laguna's undivided attention. His keen observation skills informed him that she was intending to attack the man in front of her. Laguna glanced down at his armband and pondered.

People can't actually DIE in this tournament, apparently. And she looks like she needs help. This last was combined with a glance at Scarlett's two male companions who seemed less than thrilled to be attacking a woman. Laguna couldn't blame them, the idea made him a little queasy himself.

"But there's nothing wrong with hitting those guys a few!" he said out loud, and glanced down at his machine gun with dismay. Galbadia made sure to waterproof these things because of special missions, but I've already seen how projectiles act under water. This AIN'T gonna work.

"A-ha!" Laguna eyed the lightbulb above his head and worried vaguely about electrocution.

He assumed the spell-casting position, his left hand settling on his forehead as he closed his eyes, and then making an arcing motion outwards.

"TORNADO!"

The two male opponents facing off Scarlet were caught in a sudden waterspout, twisting upwards to be thrown out of the water and then slammed back down with a horrendous slapping noise. Laguna winced again. That's GOTTA hurt.

Scarlett turned to look at Laguna. Laguna gave her a half-hearted little wave and then glubbed as his leg cramped up.

"Just... ah... helping out, since you were so helpful last round and all," he called to her, doggie-paddling around in small circles as he tried to get his leg to calm down.

"Here ya go!" He tossed another potion at her and then made an effort to gain some direction in his swimming. One hand reached back to tug at the now very uncomfortable Speedo. With another little wave Laguna wobbled out of the immediate vicinity, humming a song as he made his escape.

"Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these...

Doot-dee-doot-dee-dooty-doo"


Laguna sighed.

"I think I'm in love."

It's not Renmazu, but it's something
Riding on the whale, Billy looked around. All was peaceful. Not like the last arena, where it was all blood and gore... Billy shut his eyes. No... don't think about that. He opened them and looked around. So peaceful... He could just stay here forever, riding his whale. He looked down at the great beast. He patted his side.

What shall I call you, Great One? Billy asked silently. The whale blinked.

.....uuuuuuuuooooooooowwwwwwwwwuuuuuuuuuuwwwwwww.....

Its haunting melody sent a shiver down Billy's spine. He looked down at the whale. I used to ride a great mechanical beast called Renmazu, thought Billy at the whale. Shall I call you that?

The whale gave no response.

Billy laughed to himself, silently, in the water. Of course the whale couldn't hear him. He was just being silly again. Suddenly, he was nearly thrown off by a sudden shockwave.

CCCCCRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKKKK!!!!!

Billy looked up to see a large serpent gliding in the water. It was enormous! Perhaps two hundred feet long, and it was covered with dark black scales. It's mouth was lined with millions of sharp teeth. It's eyes glowed a dull red, and it looked dangerous.

Billy watched as it passed him and headed down toward a red cloud on the bottom of the sea. Blood..., thought Billy silently. Someone was hurt there, and that serpent was going to finish the job.

Let's go, Renmazu Billy thought silently to the whale. As if hearing him, the whale streamed towards the serpent. Looking down at the cloud of blood, Billy saw a man with dark hair, an older man, and a rather attractive woman.

The whale swam up to the side of the serpent and slammed into its neck. The great snake roared. It opened its wide jaws to devour Renmazu and Billy, but they swiftly swam away from it's gaping mouth. The whale swam up, then smashed the snake with its great tail. The giant snake turned and swam away, deciding that eating the three people wasn't worth a fight.

Billy looked down at the people, who had just witnised the battle. He reached into his pocket and found and Aquasol. Billy threw it down to the party below him, and the woman caught it. Billy and his whale swam off, back on the way to the city.

Act 2, Scene 3 - "Thoughts"
Reccomended music: "Moby - Inside"

This... is almost fun, Ivan mused, drifting through the water. Somewhere off in the distance, other competitors were fighting - causing ripples in the water that he could feel from here.

Mia would love this...she'd be in her element, as it were...

A little way below him, Vivi touched down on the sea floor, disturbing the sand, causing little ripples of water to drift up to Ivan. Strange. Even down here, the little mage still wore his hat and robe. But then, so was he - it made for a gentle drift down.

Shame we can't speak to each other down here. Although maybe...

Ivan opened his mouth, ignoring the water that rushed in, and mouthed a phrase.

(Can you understand me?)

The little mage, looking up at him, shook his head - head, hat, whatever - and Ivan sighed. Now it was time for him to touch down on the bottom himself. The impact was strangley muted - but then, he was under a lot of water. Very clear water, too. He could see the surface as bright as day here.

Once again, he looked over at Vivi. This time, he tried a different approach. Reaching into Vivi's mind, he tried something he'd not tried before - sending his own thoughts to another person.

(Vivi.. can you hear me now?)

(Y-yes? How are y-you in my head?)

Ivan breathed a sigh of relief. (It's a skill I was born with, although I've never known it to work like this before. If you want me to hear something, think it. I'll keep listening.)

(Uh.. o-okay, Ivan. So where from here?)

(To the city, I suppose.)

(Which way is t-that?)

Ivan scratched his head, looking around. (Uh.. I have no idea. Follow the other contestants?)

(What about that man?)

(Kaze? He'll show up if we need him.) Ivan didn't know how he knew that... he just did...

Re: Round Two
Krizak: Um, Bowser is a Warrior, not a Brawler. Just wanted to clear that up.

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

*sigh*..."I hate the water. How did I get into this mess anyway. And where the heck is my team?" Bowser looked around the surface but could find no traces of Conker. Yamakazi had already entered the depths earlier according to his bracelet, but they were still separate. "Man..." Bowser lamented upon examining himself, "...I didn't even get a wetsuit. Well, I am naked all the time anyway, but still...lets go find that city! Maybe they're in need of a new king! Mwahahahaha!!!"

Bowser turned headfirst and begun his dive underwater. The first thing he noticed though, was that his patented fire breath would not work in these conditions. "I guess I'll have to find more creative ways to hurt people...this should be...fun!"

As Bowser swam more, he saw an oddity, a human encased entirely in flames. "Hey, thats pretty weird, a human covered in flames...WAIT! ITS A HUMAN! AND HE HAS FLAMES!!! HE DARES TO FLAUNT HIS POWERS IN FRONT OF ME???" Bowser seethed with contempt at this human, but then decided he could fix him good. "Mwahahaha, come here Chompy!" Bowser pulled out a particularly nasty looking Chain Chomp from his Evil Bag of Tricks (tm). "Alright girl, I need you to bite that flamed human, really really hard. Can you do that for me?" The chomp nodded its head in understanding. "Good."

Bowser swung the chomp around violently, creating a whirlpool affect around him. Then he released and sent the chomp flying. Meeting its target, the chomp bit viciously into the human. Bowser could hear many expletives coming from this human as the chomp returned. "Good job baby. Now lets get out of here before that flamy guy comes around..."

Bowser continued his swim towards the city.

Re: Round Two
No, no, Bowser is a Brawler. While he has a few things from Warriors and Engineers, his primary weaponry are his powerful claws and brute strength, and so I made him a Brawler.

Re: Funtime!
*This is right after Mith's post on this page.*

As the waves took him under, Issac's mind raced to comprehend the import of the voice the he'd just heard. It couldn't be Ivan... If he was taken too, wouldn't we have been taken together? And, that would mean that the others could possibly be here as well. And that much Psyenergy I can sense...

But hadn't he recognized Ivan in that earlier arena of strange monsters and steel? And wasn't that just his voice that came towards him before the waves pulled the source away?

Issac's grip on his sword tightened. If it is truly Ivan, I'll meet up with him in this tournament eventually. That's guaranteed. Until then... I need to focus on the present.

Turning in the water, he noticed Yoshi swimming loop-de-loops indefinitely, in some strange manner of game that only the monster seemed to be privvy to. Focusing his eyes further, he noticed that Laguna had swam further on in a different direction from the route he had pointed out.

Not to mention who he was swimming for. And what scene she was stirring up before him.

Oh, man... not now! Could you have waited for any worse time to do this? The idea of a free-for all underwater... Ugh.

Mentally muttering various oaths and curses he'd picked up from his time in Lunpa, Issac sped off at a powerful butterfly stroke to head Laguna off. Yoshi stopped his game at feeling the rush of water as the youth passed him up, and decided to follow him instead.

He was about to get within a good signal distance when he accidentally bumped into someone--some woman, he could tell immediately when he felt the impact. The collision knocked his body spiraling out of control for a moment, and when he got his bearings, he felt an irresistable pull dragging his body backwards.

He spun in the tug of that unknown force backwards for a moment before he realized exactly what it was. Oh...no! I've been caught in a different current!

He could vaguely see the figure that he assumed was the one he had crashed into coming after him, as well as Yoshi. They'd be caught in that invisible current too, unless he did something to stop them. But what? This twisting and flipping around makes it so I can't focus on any strong Psyenergy...

He then recalled a moment from his past, when he had first met Ivan and experienced first-hand the power of his Mind Read ability.

*****

"Here, Issac. Hold my hand."

A bit nervous about sharing this mind-reading ability of Ivan's, Issac shakingly took his hand. But Ivan paid that no heed as he walked confidently up to Garet with him and outstretched his other hand. Issac could feel a tendril of Psyenergy reach out from Ivan, and it was linked to him--

And then 'saw' the flood of Garet's panic-ridden thoughts. He sent the thought out, 'hi'. Garet immediately went into shock for a moment and thought rather desperately back, Ahh! Issac, stop reading my mind!!

*****

Now that he remembered that occurence, he also realized that with his current abilitiy, he should be able to at least project his thoughts outward in a similar manner, if not read others' thoughts like Ivan could.

But being spun around like this.... actually helps me! If I send it out in streams... But there isn't much time. They're almost at the current!

Holding his hands to his head, Issac concentrated and forced a mental message out into the void in short bursts.

----------

Lise was trying to get to the other contestant that had inadvertently bumped into her and was falling deeper into the sea at a very fast rate. She knew that she really shouldn't be helping other contestants that weren't on her team, but she felt partially responsible for it--

Please stop! You're about to get dragged into an underwater current like I did!

Lise looked at the tumbling figure in shock, she and Yoshi coming to a halt immediately. He can use telepathy?!?

She felt another thought about to come to her, but it was abruptly cut off. Looking hard at the guy, she could tell that he had been thrown against a side of coral reef and knocked unconcious.

Wonderful. What have I gotten into?

Re: Round Two
"Do I have to do everything?"

Ward managed to clamp his hands around Bowser's "Chompy" immediatly before it collided with what one assume was Cinder's head. Ward applied pressure, crushing the creature with a barely audible squish.

Ward released the crumbled to float freely through the water.

"You dare interfer? I AM KING BOWSER! KING OF THE KOOPAS!!" Bowser belted.

With that, the great turtle king reared backwards, air heating in his throat, then heaved his firey breath forward towards Ward. Bowser must have forgotten he was underwater, because the flame disapated only inches from his face creating a cloud of steam that obscured his vison. Bowser never saw Ward's extremly large fist beat against his face.

He felt it though.

Defend Cinder from Bowers attack.
R-vote to Cinder

Hold up, if Bowser is not a Warrior, than he can't Deathblow, so what did i just defend Cinder from?

Re: Round Two
Krizak, I formally protest that change, not that it probably means anything. I signed on as a Warrior and nobody told me different. While Bowser from SMB may be a Brawler, in fact, from SMRPG, Bowser uses many weapons such as his claws, chain chomps, the Mario dolls, Mario himself, summoning a gigantic Boo, using a giant MechaKoopa, and so forth.
