Chapter 1: Dreamless
The inside
of the sphere was lit only by the capsules lining it’s walls,
which all glowed with the same eerie green light. The room
would have been a xenobiologist’s dream, for within each one
was a different being, and while some were just human, others
were decidedly different. Over on one wall were two capsules
that contained what appeared to be elves, while across from
them was an enormous turtle with a dragon-like head. Near the
bottom were two sophisticated robots, one completely different
from the other, and a particularly large capsule near the top
contained a white-feathered dragon.
All of the
occupants of the capsules were perfectly motionless, being
held in a state of suspended animation. None of them knew
where they were, and none of them ever would; in their eyes,
the teleportation would be instantaneous. For now, they slept
a dreamless sleep. A sleep Yume envied more than anything.
I wonder what their dreams are when they sleep
normally, she thought as she floated in the centre of the
sphere. Do the dreams have meaning, or are they simply
flights of fancy? Are they happy dreams? Sad? Frightening?
What does one dream about when your life is your own?
She floated over to a male thief and a female knight.
Do you two dream of each other? Does your love live on even
there? She moved a bit to the left, to look in on an elvin
boy dressed in green. Do you dream of adventure? Is it the
quests of your past you dream of, or do you imagine future
battles that you may take part in?
She continued
floating in front of the capsules, thinking about each one,
wondering what their dreams were. Is your sleep always
dreamless, robot, or do you dream as well? What dreams do the
darkness produce, clown? Have you already fulfilled your
dreams, old man, or are there still wishes you have left?
Finally, she floated back to the centre of the room.
I said that with my gift, you would be able to make your
dreams come true. What you don’t know is... if you win, you
may not have any dreams left. She wiped a tear from her
eye, and spoke aloud. “I’m sorry, but I can’t live my life
without dreams. I hope whoever wins will understand...”
White energy started to gather around Yume, growing
brighter by the second. Yume threw her arms wide, and in
bright flash, she was gone. Along with all of the occupants of
the capsules.

Eric was having a great day.
Last night’s premiere performance of “The Moogle King” in the
Event Square had been a fantastic success, far better than he
had expected for a play adopted from an animated film. Even
better, since his boss had been killed in the recent attack in
the Battle Square (Serves him right! Always making me do all
the work while he got all the credit! Bastard.), he had been
promoted to Chief Stage Manager of the Gold Saucer, which
meant a lot more money and a lot more credit. He was already
busy with his crew to prepare for tonight’s performance, and
they were even ahead of schedule.
At least, until the
girl in purple appeared.
Eric was more annoyed than
surprised when the girl suddenly appeared on stage. Damn
kids... he thought as he walked out from backstage.
Always getting a hold of the their parents’ Materia and
then goofing off. Girl’s lucky she didn’t pick up a Destruct
one...
“Young lady, I don’t know what you’re doing
here, but you had better get back home before-ULP!” The stage
manager's words were cut short as the girl drew the katana by
her side and in one fluid motion brought in a centimetre from
his throat, without even looking at him.
“Sir, I
suggest that you evacuate yourself immediately from the
premises.” Yume looked over at Eric, who looked like he was
about to wet his pants. “It is for your own good that you not
interrupt us.”
Only after Yume said that did Eric
glance over to the audience. In the front seats, he saw at
least 60 people, most armed with various deadly looking
weapons. And in the circular aisle above the seats appeared to
be a white dragon.
The dragon was what finally drove
Eric to action. He glanced at Yume a moment, and then turned
and ran down the stairs and up through the aisle. I suppose
today’s performance will have to be cancelled. I don’t think
Dio will mind, considering...
Yume chuckled softly
to herself, and then turned back to the gathered participants.
“I welcome you all to the Gold Saucer, which will be the first
venue for our competition. Before you begin, though, I should
lay down a few ground rules. First off, there will be no
attacking civilians during this tournament.”
Near the
back, a high-pitched voice cursed, “Son of a submariner!”
“However, I do realize that security forces may be
sent out to try and stop you from fighting, and that various
heroes may always intervene, so you are allowed to defend
yourself against these individuals. Secondly, do not leave
this building at any time; we don’t want to disturb the locals
too much. And lastly, I expect you all to give your best
efforts. You have all chosen to be here, and now I want you to
show me that you want the prize!” Yume swung her sword around
and pointed it towards the crowd. “And now, let the tournament
begin!”
With her last words, the audience broke into a
raucous cheer, heading for the exits to the theatre. Behind
them, Yume sat down on the stage and smiled in spite of
herself. “I wish you could see this, Saint. I... I think you‘d
be proud...”

Round One Location: The
Gold Saucer (Final Fantasy VII) Begin Time: 1:30
AM MST, Monday Morning Ending Time: 1:00 AM MST, Tuesday
Morning Special Rule: Defined Votes Only
The Gold
Saucer is a giant amusement park rising out of the desert.
From the outside, it looks like a large golden tree, with
various branches sticking out in all directions. Inside, there
are eight main areas, each one in a different branch:
- Station Square: This area has the main
entrance to the Gold Saucer, and a trolley to North Corel that
you aren’t actually allowed to take, since you can’t leave.
Occasionally, a man appears here, willing to sell people GP,
the official currency of the Gold Saucer. - Event
Square: This is the area that you started in. It’s
essentially just a large amphitheatre, with a lot of seating
and a stage. - Ghost Square: A large haunted
mansion, run by a group of employees dressed as various spooky
creatures. Contains an item shop and an inn, both of which are
headed up by the hilarious Mr. Hangman, who drops from the
ceiling as soon as somebody wants something. Be warned,
though; the inn portion only accepts GP. - Speed
Square: A long hallway from the entrance leads you to the
Shooting Coaster, an attraction that only accepts GP. On the
coaster, you try to earn points by shooting targets in various
themed areas. If you get a certain amount of points, you win a
crappy prize, which could be a toy soldier, a fake sword, or a
tissue. Do really well, however, and you could win a new
weapon. - Wonder Square: One of the most popular
places in the Gold Saucer, Wonder Square is filled with
different arcade games. These accept normal currency to play,
and should you do well, you can earn various amounts of GP, as
well as other prizes. Among the attractions are an
arm-wrestling game, a basketball game, several of those claw
machines, an automatic fortune teller, a boxing simulator, a
virtual-pet-like game involving a moogle named Mog, a
submarine battle game, a snowboarding simulator, and G-Bike,
in which you try to protect a truck from enemy motorcycles by
attacking them with a sword and your own bike. There is also a
person who will exchange GP for various useful items. -
Chocobo Square: Here, you can either bet on chocobo
races, or you can race one yourself should you own one. The
track itself runs around the outside of the Gold Saucer, and
use holographs to create a virtual environment for the
chocobos to race in. You can either win items or GP in Chocobo
Square, after betting normal currency. - Battle
Square: Your battling skills will be tested here, for
after paying 10 GP, you will be put in battles against
increasingly harder monsters. The longer you stay in without
dying, the more Battle Points you’ll earn, but you keep
getting more handicaps as you fight. Battle Points can be
exchanged here for some of the greatest items in existence.
You can also visit Dio’s trophy room, where there’s a variety
of historical artifacts that relate to war and battle. -
Round Square: Here, you can pay to take a gondola ride
above most of Gold Saucer, where you’ll be able to see down
into most of the squares. Highlights include a close-up look
at the chocobo races, passing through the Shooting Coaster,
and a view of the cat statue at the top of Gold Saucer.
All these areas are connected by a tubular transport
system; jump in one tube and arrive almost instantaneously in
another square. Throughout the Gold Saucer, you’ll encounter
patrons, employees, and mascots dressed as fat chocobos. Also,
the nine heroes of Final Fantasy VII may show up for a
well-deserved break from saving the world, and they may take
offence to you being so violent and intervene. So expect to
see Cloud, Aerith, Cid and the rest running around the Gold
Saucer as well...
Special Rule: Just as Yume
wants to see your best efforts, so do I. In an attempt to get
the action started quickly, this round has been designated as
Described Votes Only. This means that all votes must
be declared in the thread, and that you must describe how your
character attacked or defended another. Spectators are the
exception to this rule; they can still privately vote by
e-mail.

...Wow. I'm actually here for the beginning.

I am going to be
SO tired of this theme by the end of the week.
Lemme get one thing straight. While touring
the Gold Saucer (From Round Square and during the intro FMV),
you see that the domes are open to the sky. Now, would it be
permitted for characters to fly from one venue to another?
Since, er... I don't think Flammie will fit into those little
transport tubes.

Locke Cole

As the speech ended,
Locke looked around the room. "Nice place" he thought
to himself, "Sure is strange, though. It's like something
out of a dream. Even Vector didn't have anything like
this."
Some of the contestants were already
beginning to leave the room, but Locke decided to take a few
moments to relax. "Sure are a lot of freaks here," he
thought, "Who are all these people? Some of them aren't
even people." He corrected himself.
Glancing at
one of the exits, he could swear he saw a moogle. "Nah,
couldn't be." he thought "Or could it?" Mog was
certainly the strongest moogle he had ever had the privilage
of knowing, even if he was a bit eccentric at times.
Looking at another exit, Locke did a double take,
"Celes! What is she doing here?" Immediately standing
up, Locke began running towards her. "Celes wait!" he yelled,
but apparently she didn't hear him. Leaving the room, Locke
quickly scanned the crowd, but couldn't catch sight of her.
"Damn!" he swore under his breath, "Looks like things are
starting to get interesting."

And so it
begins. Good luck everybody! Thanks for mentioning me in the
intro Krizak.

Mintaka FFOS6:
Rydia of Mist

Woohooo! One quick post before bed! XD
(Good venue choice, Kriz... This should be interesting.)
*kicks on
Rydia's theme*
FFIV spoilerage, of course. :P
------- Well, this is
it.
She walked out fo the auditorium, nervously
looking about at the strangeness of this place. It reminded
her almost of the Giant. Or the towers.
Rydia,
focus! This is it. The prize is at stake!
She
looked at a tube before her, and tenatively stepped in. The
sudden launching sensations caused her to shriek, nad she held
her whip tight to her chest until she seemed to pop up and
out. She landed gracefully, having picked up that skill from
the times she ahd to evade Edge.
Edge... I wonder
what he's up to? Or everyone else for that matter?
She walked upto a map, gave it a cursory glance, and
then spied a familiar shadow just exiting another tube. She
picked another tube quickly. Acclimation was a good thing, and
besides that, she wanted to see these Chocobos.
This is not my world, but they exist here too? How
curious... but... that... that was... Golbez? If he's here,
what of the others? Rosa? Cecil? .... Edge?
She recalled the man they had dealt with before,
before he had goento sleep with the Lunarians... The Lunarians
who slept until they felt the humans of her world would
understand. The same ons who neverfully understood the summons
as people, not beasts.
What I would not give, that
the Lunarians could live with us, that Cecil shouldhva ehis
brother again, and the Summons not have to be so feared and be
more understood than just by summoners. What... I...
She stood at the foot of the stairs leading to a
flashy towery place above. Her steps rose slowly as she milled
over things. Her mother and Mist meant much to her, but so did
the summons... and she had felt sorrow for those who had to
sleep ... those who feared misunderstanding...
She
once knew that feeling as well. ------ No way
am I voting at this hour. ^^; Maybe when I wake up. G'luck to
all!
Mintaka's tip of the moment: copy and save the
master list so you can keep trakc of who's in, whos'
sponsoring who, and so that you don't always have to look back
to page 1 to know! ^^
That's my sign to go to bed.
Night all!
Edit: Wait a minute.... someone correct me
if I am wrong...
But did I really just get POST
EIGHT of this thread? I can't count right now,
but... ZzzzZZZzzzzZZZZzzzz.....

Zelda looked around her.
Oh
god....everyone's about to start fighting...I'm no good at
hand to hand....I'd better get out of here....
"Nayru's Love.." She whispers to herself, and a blue
force field appears around her.
"That should give me
time to get out...."
Zelda ran outside of the
event square, and into a giant area with many tubes leading to
different places. She saw a blonde, spikey haired man walking
towards one of the tubes, he stopped and looked at her, before
walking towards her.
"Are you alright?" He asked,
sounding concerned.
"Y...yes.....I'm fine...but you
should leave as soon as possible...there're tons of people
from all over the universe here....all fighting for a
prize...in..in...a.."
"A tournament..." the spiky man
cut her off, getting a grim look on his face.
"Y..You...know of it?" Zelda said backing away.
"Oh yes...I've been in three of them....Do yourself a
favor girl...loose now...Nothing good comes out of
these.....false promises...broken dreams..."
"Three...of them? And...those battle scars....it would
seem that you're fairily powerful....." Zelda took a step
forward.
"Powerful? Me? hah! Those tournaments only
showed me how weak I truly am...how low I could truly
become...."
"Mister..." "Cloud...Call me
Cloud...which reminds me....what's your name?"
"Pr...Zelda...just call me Zelda..."
"Zelda....You look like you could use some help...I
know how brutal these can get...and I couldn't just let
someone who seems somewhat reluctant to fight at all by your
very nature go it alone....you will be taken from this place
as soon as the powers that be decide it..but until
then....would you like my help, Zelda?"
Zelda looked
at Cloud for a minute, before steping closer to him.
"Yes....I'd like that Cloud...." Zelda said with a
smile, glad that she'd made a friend under such hostile
circumstances.
"We'd better get out of here...this is
where everyone's going to emerge from...and they're ALL going
to be looking for a fight....We'd better head down to another
part of the gold saucer.." Cloud said, turning towards the
battle square
"I don't think there'll be that many
people heading here right away....." Cloud said as he and
Zelda hopped into the tube. ------
Well, there we
go, my first story post. Who hoo!!! its started!!

"Forest! Trees! Gone! Where,

"Welcome...to SURVIVOR..."
"GASP!!! EEK!"
"It's time to fight, Gau. For
freedom, for love, for justice"
"Who you? Where, Gau?"
The mysterious lady smiled and disappeared, leaing Gau
alone in the strange land... Gau sniffed the air
carefully...
"Food! Gau hungry! Smell food!!"
And he was lead away by the smell of popcorn and
candyfloss found only in amusement park.
"Welcome to

Flammie looked around at the interior of
the Gold Saucer.
Bright lights... Pretty colors...
FUN!
With a warbling roar that caused a few people
nearby to scatter reflexively, the young dragon spread her
wings and lifted from the floor. Flying upwards through a hole
in the roof, she circled lazily up around the main "trunk" of
the enormous amusement park. She rolled slowly to one side to
avoid a gondola going by on roller coaster tracks. As she
flew, a few spotlights swung to pinpoint her. She calmly
barrel rolled, noting a few camera flashes going off in the
crowds of spectators.
Thrilling in the pure joy of
flight, she circled higher and waited for the main event to
start. She flexed her claws gently and let out a small puff of
flame in anticipation.

Angelus Lucia's
Knight
|
*Leo's theme:Justice*
The great
white knight looks around at this...place of revelry...and the
only similarity that can come to mind is Jean's carnival.
"Hmm...perhaps...it is best..."
He couldn't
see his Dragonship anywhere...he thought he'd been allowed to
have it. Oh well. It wouldn't have made much sense to have it
here anyway. He searches around for people he knows, or at
least people he thinks he knows...
His first instinct
is to get the lay of the saucer, and he proceeds to make use
of the gondola ride...but it's lonely by one's self. No
matter. White Knight Leo would manage. The car takes him round
the saucer, and he's truly amazed by the lights and colors.
It's enough to make one think he was insane...or within the
realm of the goddess. Which he was, actually, just not Lucia's
realm.
The ride stopped, and he got off. "This place
is strange indeed. But yet..." The thought trails off...fun?
For him? Never...
He has yet to notice his now glowing
mask...still slipped safely in his pocket...but by chance, or
perhaps some irony of fate, the first man he meets...happens
to be the OTHER Leo. WKLeo meets LeoC.
"Greetings,
noble friend!"
"Hello, honorable competitor!"
Good grief. And it had yet to truly begin.
"...for I am White Knight Leo, captain of the
dragonship destiny, and Althena's guardian!"
"How
strange, for I too am Leo...General Leo Christophe, of the
army of the Empire!"
WK Leo and LeoC sat there for a
considerable length of time discussing the best ways to
protect all that was just in the world. What was stranger is
that they both worked for not so nice people, despite being
men of honor. Must be the name...

A blinding flash. Then...gold.
Everywhere. The sound of rides far off in the distance. Bright
lights in every colour of the rainbow.
"Gods...this is
so advanced. Yet it's nothing at all like Vector." he
whispered to himself.
He looked down to see his sword
beside him. He picked it up and turned it this way and that,
so it caught the light.
"The marker of my grave. How
did it manage to turn up here?" he shook his head, dismissing
the thought. It did not matter. Only one thing did.
His face grim, he slid the sword home in it's sheath.
Leo Christophé, Knight of the Empire, was back.
He
turned to see another Knight.
"Greetings noble
friend...."
***
"Ah, there are things I
regret, friend Leo." Leo shook his head, trying to shake the
memories loose. "I have done some terrible things."
Leo sighed. "I know what you mean Leo, I know what you
mean. Yet surely, we wouldn't be human if we didn't have
regrets."
Leo nodded. "Too true, Leo, too
true..."

Sylphid FFOS6 -
Angela
|
Alright! Here we go!
Oh, I might as well warn you now that some of this
post may be a bit more… er… well, “mature” in humor (well, for
my writing, at least), so… enjoy!
----------
Day One
She opened her eyes to another
world…
She found herself inside a large room, devoid
of life. If there'd been anyone in this room, they'd left long
ago...
Many rows of brilliantly coloured seats spread
out from all sides of her. At the farthest end lie a large
stage with an unusual mural painted on the wall. Whatever this
place was, it certainly wasn't Altena...
Angela found
her staff at her side, mysteriously transported with her to
this unusual place. She turned to reach for it, only to find
two strange creatures at her side. One resembled a floating,
white ball of flame, while the other looked more like a very
small person wearing a green Santa Claus hat that was about
six sizes too large for it.
“Oh, thank goodness you’re
alright!” the ball of flame said as it eerily floated towards
Angela.
The Altenian princess leapt up in defense,
clutching her staff in front of her. “Back off!” she shouted,
trying to intimidate her opponents. “What do you want with
me!?”
“Geez, she’s a feisty one, Wisp! Are you sure we
want to waste our time? She looks more like a stripper than a
sorceress! I mean, look at that skimpy outfit…” the small
creature shouted to the floating flame, bouncing up and down.
“Hey! Who do you think you are!?” the princess shouted
in disgust.
“Not now, Gnome!” Wisp retorted. “We’re
trying to help her, not traumatize her!”
Obviously,
Angela was confused. Whatever these “Wisp” and “Gnome”
creatures were, they were certainly… odd. She relaxed a bit.
“What are you…? I’ve never seen anything.… wait!” A sudden
thought returned to her. Those magic lessons from Jose may
have just paid off! “You’re… Wisp and Gnome, the Light and
Earth Elementals… aren’t you?”
“Yeah, baby!” Gnome
shouted as he bounced higher and higher. “Ya got that right!”
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Angela,” Wisp said. “We
are indeed two of the eight Elementals of Mana.”
“Uh…
hi!” the Princess replied. “But, what are you doing here…
hell, what am I doing here? All I remember was Mother in the
throne room… then…”
“You passed out, then vanished
into thin air. We saw it all,” Wisp answered. “We’ve been
watching over you for quite some time… as is normal for those
worthy of our powers.”
“Huh?” Angela replied in
confusion. “What do you mean?”
Gnome bounced closer,
the pompom on his hat bouncing from one side to the other.
“Get to the point already, you flaming flop! Angela, he means
that you’re worthy of commanding our magics! See, was that so
hard to say?”
Her heart leapt at the last thing he
said. “Me…? Worthy of commanding magic? I can’t even cast the
simplest spell… How can I be worthy of using-”
“Ah,
don’t sweat it, Angela!” Gnome interrupted. “With us, you’ll
be able to Holy Ball and Diamond Missile with the best of
‘em!”
A gleam of hope shone in her eyes. “Really…?”
Wisp reassured her. “Of course. All you have to do is
focus one of us on a target with the spell you want in mind.
The rest happens on its own. You’d be surprised how simple it
is. Go ahead… try it.” The Light Elemental vanished into thin
air.
“Hey! Where’d you go, Wisp…?”
He answered
her question.“Don’t worry, I’m right here with you. Go
ahead and cast the Holy Ball spell.”
“Aieee!
There’s a voice inside my head!” Angela screamed in surprise.
This was certainly unexpected… although looking back on what
had happened already, it really shouldn’t have been…
“Elementals can communicate with those that possess
their powers telepathically. You’ll be able to speak to us,
and we can reply physically by appearing before you, or simply
answering you through telepathic means.”
“Okay…”
“Don’t worry, we’ll always be at your side. Go ahead
and cast Holy Ball.”
“Alright… here goes nothing.” The
budding mage clutched her staff and focused on one of the
benches and chanted a few words. “Holy Ball!” With a twist of
her staff, she pointed her finger at the target. Sure enough,
a ball of pure light began to form at her fingertips, growing
larger and larger. She focused harder on her task, and the
ball of energy rocketed towards the seat, splitting into
several spheres and encompassing it completely in a wash of
holy power. A beam of energy fired up into the air, frying the
target in white-hot energy as the blinding light began to
dissipate into nothing, leaving only sparkling, bluish-white
specks glowing in the air like fireflies.
“I… did
it…!” Angela leapt into the air, ecstatic in her
accomplishment.
“Not bad! That was the nicest Holy
Ball I’ve seen!” Gnome bounced up and down. “And trust me,
I’ve seen PLENTY of Holy Ball spells in my time! Personally, I
think you’ll like Diamond Missile better, though…”
Wisp spoke again. “Leave it to Gnome to try and
stand me up. You did a great job, Angela. But remember, as a
beginner, your Mana power is fairly weak, so you will be
unable to cast a large quantity of spells. You’ll need to rest
to regenerate your casting power, or simply wait a while and
it will gradually return. Or, just eat a Magic Walnut. You
should have some in your robe pocket, as well as some other
restorative items.”
“Alright!” the princess
shouted happily.
“Well, now I know it wasn’t a mistake
giving you our power, Angela. Put it to good use in the
tournament, alright?” Gnome said as he bounced around, slowly
fading away.
“Oh, so that’s where I am…?” Angela
questioned her companions.
”Ya got that right! You
were still unconscious through Yume's introduction, but no
matter.” Gnome replied. ”Give it your all and you’ll
definitely go far. We’re behind ya 100%!”
“Thanks,
you two!” Angela replied cheerfully. Feeling as if she could
take on the world, the young sorceress proceeded on without
fear, though she didn’t know what perils awaited her.
And so, a new magician was born.

I’ll place the Summary section down here. I’ll be posting
votes or obtained abilities here, just so everyone knows
what’s going on, and what Angela’s spells do, just in case you
want to use her in your storylines as well – and by all means,
feel free to do so; just don’t send her flying off a cliff or
something evil like that, okay? And of course, if you can find a new use for a
spell, go ahead and try that in your storyline, too. Don’t
feel restricted to what I put down here, this is just what I
can think of off the top of my head. See, isn’t Angela
versatile? I’m so glad I picked her!
Gained
Abilities Holy Ball (Spheres of Holy Energy)– Deals Holy

Yume
undoubtedly had the gift of the silver tongue- and not a bad
taste in swords. Slash let his own blade ride piggyback on his
shoulder as he stepped across the chamber. There were quite a
few sights to see here, in this 'Gold Saucer'- and that didn't
just mean the shining beacons and odd chariots-on-tracks they
had around here.
Guy with eight swords,
streetwalker in armor, oversized white hamster with black
wings, punk with green pajamas, where in Mystica did these
clowns come from? Slash scanned the entire room as he
proceeded, or as thoroughly as he could. They were a motley
bunch- he thought he even recognized a few. In fact, one of
them looked like Flea, though the back was turned and the
backside was a lot more impressive-
That
is Flea!
Slash choked, stumbling in his path.
Mumbling apologies to his eyes, he averted them to spot a few
other armored figures and striking women. As he straightened
his walk, he heard names like "Cecil" and "Celes" pop up.
Apparently, he and Flea weren't the only ones here linked by
fate. More's the pity. So many will fall here.
He exited the theatre, leaving the many behind, and
found himself in a bright, circular space. Slash gritted his
teeth and brought a pale blue hand over his eyes- it hurt to
see such vermillion light after all that darkness. As his eyes
adjusted, he saw that the circle was lined with tubes. Must
be the tubes Yume was talking about. Hmm...so you hop down
one, and you find yourself in another area. Sorcery at its
best...
One tube stood out to him. Slash's deep
azure lips twisted up in a smirk.
Battle Square
I hope you bunch are ready to taste pain,
thought the Mystic swordsman as he stepped up to the tube.
Before this tournament is over, I'll have bathed you all in
the crimson grave. The Cold Sword of Great Magus prepares for
its slash!
Slash turned one last look at the
circled chamber, Station Square. He was prepared for defeat,
if it were to meet him- he knew he would not escape unscathed.
The auras emanating off the Gathered told him as much- they
were all great fighters, in their own way. He'd enjoy crossing
blades with many of them; testing skills, unleashing
techniques, screaming for blood in the hellish blaze of
glorious battle. Slash knew full well what horrors that would
birth- but by no means would he resign himself to fate. He'd
relished blood as a child its mother's teat; the faceless
death would be nothing new to him. Fate was a difficult
mistress, but not inexorable.
Only he would have that
title.
Slash lovingly gripped his sword, revelling in
the texture of its hilt, and stepped into the tube. As the
descent took him, he felt the adrenaline begin to pump, and
the bloodlust in his hardened arms begin to rise.
The prize will be mine. I'll show them all why I am
the Inexorable. I'll show them why I'm the greatest of the
Mystic Swordsmen.
Why I'm going to survive.

Gilgamesh arose from his
seat straight after the speech.
"Hehehe, this place
looks like fun..." he said as he ran towards one of the tubes
to explore this place further. He saw a strange long-haired
boy who talked funny. "He looks pretty strong...may as well
get some experience while i'm here!" Gilgamesh lunged
towards the boy with his excalibur, knocking the young one
down. "Go way! Gau get food! GOOO!" the boy said as he kicked
Gilgamesh's ass and ran away
"DAMN! It's like my sword didn't even phase
him! ExDeath...of course...I knew that bastard couldn't be
trusted..." he muttered secretively under his breath. He
checked his other weapons to see if they were even real...and
whaddya know, they were actually fakes!
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXDEEEEEEEEEEEEATH! Noooooooooo!"
Meanwhile, Gilgamesh decided to start his exploration
of the place by going to this so-called "Battle Square",
hoping to maybe find some sort of usable weapon and quite
possibly a nice challenge as well...

Dew FFOS6: Mog
|
Mog stumbled through the
exit, slightly dazed. He'd just zipped through a tube and
landed in a brightly lit area surrounded by more tubes just
like the one he had popped out of. He blinked his eyes, not
yet used to all the glaring lights. He took a minute to absorb
his surroundings... everything was so bright. Once he'd
taken it all in, he began to look at all the people - and
non-people - around him. So many different beings. So were
these the people he would be competing against? Mog gripped
his lance. A lot of them were gathering here. Don't just
stand around here was all he could think. Just then a
maniacal laugh
rose above the din. Mog knew that laugh. "Kefka!" he shouted,
dumbfounded. "But how- nevermind. I've gotta get outta here,
kupo!" He made his way to one of the tubes and dove in head
first. In a matter of seconds he found himself in another
area, not quite as brightly lit as the other. He saw a man in
a chocobo suit. "Yo, where am I?" Mog inquired. "This is
Wonder Square!" the man in the costume answered jovially.
"Thanks! Kupo!" Mog said as he quickly moved past him and
up a flight of stairs. He was still quite stricken by his
surroundings. Right now I just have to get away and prepare
myself. No need to start fighting right away, he thought
to himself. I've got to get my bearings straight and then
I'm just going to take them as they come. "I wonder where
that crazy sasquatch is," he said aloud. He entered the arcade
area. More bright lights assaulted his eyes, but now it didn't
come as a shock. He walked around marveling at the games,
almost forgetting why he was here. Then he came across
something that really grabbed his interest... "Mog
House?"

Why am I up this bloody early? Oh well...

Edge looked around carefully. So many odd people,
and...er...things. He scratched his head, then found a nice
seat near the back of the theater.
Hmm...I wonder
if I'll see anyone I know?
No one had started
fighting yet, but he was ready nonetheless. There was no
telling when someone would start the first act, and he wanted
to be around for the finale.

"Kefka..." he hissed from between gritted teeth, and

"Who?"

scanned the area, looking for a sign of the maniac. "Kefka."

The
loud clink of unneccesary armour could be heard even above the
constant din and racket of the monstrous roller-coaster that
the stout little iron man was approaching. His huge blade
was drawn and ready, having been pulled out to help him escape
the mass of people that had seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
Yarhh, 'tis naught but a funhouse, this be. What
'ave we 'ere? A giant metal worm? Herr herr, reminds me a bit

What ye be

With those words, the noisy thing scuttled
aboard the small shuttle (not without difficulty) and prepared
himself for what he believed would be an easy challenge.
With a sharp click, the coaster car moved up the ramp.
No threat.
Conclusion:
easy prey.
Engage.
Destroy.
Boomer was having the ride of his
life! The swoosh the air made around him as he traveled at
blistering speeds made him feel great! Those blasted little
targets kept moving around all the time, but his aim was
pretty decent, and he managed to tag most of the airplanes and
cacti that kept poping up. After a few rather violent spins,
the track straightened out and the shuttle picked up some
speed. Stars and annoyingly cute UFOs were now his main
targets, but their speed was not enough to dodge his precise
blasting. A giant UFO suddenly decended upon him.
Yarhhh! Ye be no match fer me, yu glohrified tin
cahn!
Even with his blaster zapping in quick
intervals, Boomer knew his chances at busting up the spaceship
were rapidly vanishing as the track started to angle in
another direction.
Yarrrrrhhh! I gots ye now!!
Two small specks of light flashed from the UFO. Beams
of energy smashed into the hapless lunk of metal, and he fell
into the dephts below, shouting about his "dam' prieze" all
the way down.

Returners are."
""EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXDEEEEEEEEEEEEATH! Noooooooooo!"
Someone shouted no less then ten feet behind him. Startled,
Locke snapped back to reality and had his dagger in his hand
in moments. Turning around, he saw a very strange looking man,
with countless weapons strapped to him. Before Locke could do
anything, The man jumped into a tube labled 'Battle
Arena'.
"I'd say that guys missing a few buttons,"
Locke mumbled under his breath. He had no intention of
fighting him, though, and returned his dagger to his belt.
"Celes could have gone through any one of these tubes,"
Locke thought to himself.
"Well, here goes nothing."
He said to no-one in paticular is he jumped into the portal
labled "Chocobo Square."

Lutz TEH Defiant
of Time
|
“YES” As Lutz replied the whole world seemed to fade away…
The grass shrunk, trees became as miniatures… All was replaced
by the rushing sound of air. Lutz looked around him, but
could see nothing that he recognised. He was even weaponless.
“Elsydeon?” He said, a note of shock in his voice for
he had just moments ago been holding onto it.
”I’m
sorry Lutz came the voice that Lutz now recognised as
Yume, from within or so it seemed. But that sword part of
another world, another legend and you cannot take it with you,
it doesn’t belong to you. And if you fail, others will need it
more than ever.
“But you never said! If I’d have
known I’d have left it myself and taken my own staff!” He
shouted to the tunnel of air
”This one? said
Yume. A small column of light sharpened, focused in front of
Lutz, and an intricately wooden rod, 6 foot long appeared. The
sapphire and twin rubies sparkled brilliantly before him.
”I am not unfair you know. Good look Lutz, and welcome to
Survivor…
The tunnel suddenly opened, a golden
floor rushed up to meet him. He raised his hands protectively
towards his face. It stopped. A calm had settled. He moved
his hands… A huge explosion above startled him, sparks fell
from the sky.
“What manner of place is this?” He gazed
around, people were casually walking past. One man was even in
what appeared to be a chicken suit.
Seizing his staff
firmly, Lutz brought himself to full height and walked towards
what appeared to be a map. A quick glance told him all he
needed to know. The Battle arena. That was the logical place
to start he thought. And without hesitation he jumped into a
tube.
----------- ARGH!!!
Seem to suffering from a bit of writers block. That ain’t too
good, so no votes yet. I’ll wait till things pickup a
little, maybe that’ll help. Oh! May I suggest (I’m being a
bit forward here!) That we don’t post any signatures? It will
save un-necessary scrolling, and we’re gonna be doing a lot of

Zio
|
"I come to compete in a tournament and I
find myself in a place full of -- what the hell are
those things?!" Zio's thoughts were as scattered as the crowd.
His eyes catching sight of a white, fuzzy, bat-thing, with
antanae...?
"This is going to be more fun than I
thought..." he mused. "All these little creatures to pick on.
Dark Force will certainly be pleased! Better cast a Magic
Barrier before anything happens, though."
Whispering a
few words amongst the chatter and noise of the strange room,
Zio attempted to preemptively cast a barrier to ward off all
harm. Just as his hands finished the movement, a soft fizzling
noise was heard, indicating that the spell had failed him.
"Damn," Zio cursed to himself. "Dark Force does not exist in
this relm... I fear my powers may be limited..."
Not
wanting to be a sitting duck, Zio started moving. Watching as
people -- things -- crowded through the exits, all in a
rush to leave the room as quickly as possible. His eyes darted
around, trying to gain some sense of who was who and what was
what. Finally, Zio's eyes fixed themselves upon a blue, furry
creature wearing a green tunic.
"HIM!" Zio shouted
inwardly, not wanting to draw attention. "He was from that
pathetic town I burned to the ground mere days ago! A
motavian! ...and one of the few who escaped. He should not be
so lucky again!"
Deciding it was time to rile things
up a bit -- "Might as well start things with a bang!", he
thought -- Zio focused his attention on Gryz, the wretched
Motavian who had barely escaped his clutches only days before.
Stretching his hands, he pointed his palms in the direction of
Gryz, a soft word spoken.
"Flaeli!" Zio
shouted, and fireballs errupted from his fingertips, searing
the air as they laucnhed toward Gryz.
"Better make
tracks before you're noticed," Zio thought to himself. Taking
advantage of the commotion, he quickly, yet calmly, proceeded
toward a tube marked Ghost Square.

Gilgamesh entered the
battle arena with caution. He asked one of the many clerks
what this was about, and the clerk pointed at a sign right
next to him reading:
"Come one come all, test your
strength in the Golden Saucer Battle arena! It's completely
safe, and only costs 10 gp! Test your strength against the
most powerful monsters on the planet to win GP! Or are you too
chicken...?"
"Hmm...GP? I don't have any GP...I
guess i'll threaten that guy over there with my fake legendary
weapons...they look real enough!"
He unsheathed
all his weapons and cornered a guy wearing nothing but a
speedo. "GIMME ALL YOUR GP!!" Gilgamesh roared at the
skimpy-looking man. "Umm...that's not a good Idea ya know! I
happen to be Dio, the owner of this very Golden Saucer, man!"
as he said that, 10 security robots surrounded gilgamesh, went
into hyper-mode, and aimed all their biggest guns at Gilgy's
head.
"...."
*Time to test out my new
power...*
"....Get ready...."
"......NOW!"
Gilgamesh became but a blur and
completely totaled all 10 security bots within seconds, then
collapsed from sheer exhaustion.
"Whoa man! Now dat's
some speed ya got there!" Dio shouted in excitement. "Man you
sure good at fighting! How's about this; I lend you 10 GP, and
yous has to fight in the battle arena. If you win against all
8 groups of enemies, I give you 100 000 GP so yous can do
whateva you want. If you lose...well then...you must cater to
my every whim, heh..."
Gilgamesh regained his breath,
then spoke to Dio once more.
"...so if I lose i'm
basically your slave, and if I win I'm rich in Golden Saucer
currency...ah whatever, I'll do it. It's not like i'm gonna
lose anyways..."

"Mog House?" he said
again. Mog examined the arcade game. 100 gil to play?
He looked around - and spotted some coins lying on the floor.
"My lucky day, kupo!" He snatched them up and dropped them in
the slot. "I got a good head start on the others; I guess I
have time to play." The controls were simple enough. But as he
played, Mog became more and more bewildered. "Man, this is a
cheesy game!" He found himself feeding "Kupo Nuts" to a Moogle
named Mog (just like him!) so he could fly and therefore
impress a female Moogle. It must've been a kids' game, because
he beat it with ease. "Well, that was a waste of my time.
Amusing, though. Kupo!" "That was really good!" Mog turned
to see a girl watching him. "You look just like the thing in
the game. Here, have 30 GP; you earned it." "Well, thanks,
kupo!" Mog accepted the tokens. OK, enough fun. Time to get
down to business! He began surveying the area and
preparing himself for what was to come.

(hey Sylphid! I like that idea.....I hope
you don't mind if I copy you!)
Lise entered into
the Gold Saucer area. The first thing she noticed was not how
shiny everything was, not how much fun everyone was having,
and not the fireworks and lights streaming everywhere.
The first thing she noticed was a Mushboom (a cute
little enemy mushroom in the game). The Mushboom was on its
head spinning around like a top. It looked like it was
break-dancing.
Lise: "Little Mushboom, what are you
doing?"
Mushboom: "I'm practicing against my fights
against the irritating No-Shows."
Lise: "Really? Are
the No-Shows bad?"
Mushboom: "Yes! Very bad. I urge
you to become a Huntress of No-Shows! That is the highest
level you can obtain. What is your current status?"
Lise scratched her head, "well, to be honest with you,
I'm just an Amazon right now."
Mushboom: "No problem.
Check your equipment and gear and I'll turn you into the
Huntress of No-Shows very soon!"
Lise: "Sounds like a

So they went into the tunnel together.

Gau was munching on
the pieces of dried meat he stolen from the cat around the
amusement park and was walking towards the portal with the
words "Chocobo Square" on it.
He was really amused
with this place. It was bright with neon lights all over and
the music was loud. But nothing beat the smell of all the
delicious dried meat around.
"WARK!"
"AHH!"
Gau jumped up in shock. Standing in front of him is a black
chocobo. He recognises it, as he remembers Sabin and the rest
riding on it back in the old days, before they went their
seperate ways after the defeat of Kefka.
"Wark! Wark!"
"Dried meat? No, bad bird. Gau eat dried meat, no give
yellow bird"
"WARK! WARK!!!" the black chocobo began
chasing Gau around the place. Gau leapt onto the back of a
yellow chocobo and before he knew it, the yellow chocobo was
running to a stable full of other chocobos.
"URG!!
Stop, let Gau go!"
"WARK WARK WARK~~~!!!"
Sniff...sniff
Suddenly, Gau caught the
scent of someone familiar. Someone whom he has not seen for a
long time. Who was it?

Gilgamesh silently walked into the arena.
*BOOM!*
the door crashed behind him,
and a gate started lowering.
"Cuars..." Gilgamesh
whispered as three cougar-like animals approached.
Battle 1: Gilgamesh vs. Cuar x3
They wasted no time and all three concentrated an
energy blast at him at once. Gilgamesh jumped out of the way,
and latched himself on to the wall, where he jumped off and
catapulted right onto one of the cuars, defeating it
instantly. "I can use that against them..." he thought, as he
started beckoning them to come forward. One of the remaining
cuars took a leap right into Gilgamesh and slashed his arm
pretty badly, as the other ran up and bit Gilgy in the ankle.
He then whipped out two of this swords, and threatened them
into opposing corners, and they started resonating...
Gilgamesh thought, "Here's my chance!" as the primal
beasts fired a radiant ball of energy towards him. Gilgamesh
jumped upwards and the balls of energy were now speedily
heading towards each of the cuars. Yet, the cuars predicted
this and moved out of the way far before the energy hit them.
Thinking that he should stop toying with the beasts, Gilgamesh
went over and gave them each a swift punch in the jaw which
knocked them out cold.
"One group down, seven to
go..."
Then the gate started lowering once
again...

Stryfe FFOS6: Zelda
|
Zelda and Cloud walked alongside
eachother, when suddenly, something fell out of the sky and
landed in front of them. On reflex, Zelda shot an arrow into
it, and Cloud took a slice at it, it snarled and ran off
quickly.
"Arrg...already we're running into
competitors...lets move to the gondola...we can survey the
place from the sky.." Cloud said, and led Zelda to the gondola
entrance.
"We'll be able to watch all the competitors
from here.....see who's hostile...who has been thrown here
against thier will....and who are just trying to survive....It
should give you an edge, however small..."
"Thanks
Cloud" Zelda said, giving him a smile, as they stepped onto
the gondola.
------------- One
vote to Boomer (Yes, Boomer was the thing that they
attacked)
okay...I'm going to bed....don't
screw with Cloud and Zelda at the moment...if ya want to say
something like "I shot a random blast and it hit someone in a
gondola", then fine, but don't take them out of the gondola
'till I get back... Goodnight everyone, and good
luck

Lutz TEH Defiant
of Time
|
Lutz walked away from
the battle arena dejected.
“Need some currency before
I can enter. Dammit. Yume never said anything about this”
He jumped back into the tube, heading for his original
posistion. As he arrived he saw two figures dashing past,
the chaser had a wicked grin on his face… They dived down one
of the tubes. Looking down Lutz saw a young man in a
uniform clutching a wound on their arm, the blood was seeping
through his fingers.
“Here, let me help” Lutz said as
he held his staff low, his right hand high. Small stars
appeared in the air, and converged on the wound.
“Hey!
Thanks! The wounds healed… Still hurts like mad though. That
damned tournament! I told Dio that he should have
ristricted it to the Battle Arena, but noooo…. He thinks it’ll
be better to allow “Survivor” to run all over the saucer.
Doesn’t care about the common folk. But hey! Thanks
anyway! I’m glad you do! Here, take this. It ain’t much, but
it’ll last you a while.”
The man gave Lutz a card and
a handful of coins.
“That’s 50 gp and 1000 gil. Gill
ain’t much use here, except for the races. But the GP will be
handy. Anyway, I’d best be off. Much obliged my friend. If
I was you I’d head towards the ghost hotel, you could do with
a rest from the looks of things. Bye!”
The man jumped
down a tube labled “Chocobo racing” before Lutz could say
anything.
“Hmm… Ghosts? I might be able to do
something about that…”
Moments later Lutz was in the
hotel. Smoke was pouring from the front door, the windows were
black except for a few shards of light that escaped from gaps
in the curtains.
As he was about to enter when he felt
odd… strangly like he felt not more than an hopur ago in that
titanic struggle against the Dark Force.
“Ghosts? I
think not…”
But now is was more intense… He felt like
he was being watched. Turning around he saw a man in black.
Deep black that some how went beyond the normal colour range
of light.
“You….” The man muttered “I’ve seen you. In
my dreams. In the dreams of my master. You how foils him at
every turn. Well, Lutz, not this time!”
Lutz
reacted immdiatly, firing a burst of ice at the man in the
black cape before grabing the handle of the door to the hotel
and jumping inside, leaving the howl of pain and fury behind
him.
“Can’t fight now. I must rest. Especially
if there is an embodiment f the black energy wave here.”
Lutz headed inwards, towards the counter…

Munkwunk FFOS6:
Zio
|
Spewed out at the end of the tunnel, Zio
found himself in a strange room, filled with strange people
dressed up as the undead.
"There's a word I
recognize..." Zio said to himself as the word "INN" on a sign
caught his eye. "I need to rest a bit before I get caught up
in the commotion."
Walking up to an empty counter
beneath the INN sign, Zio looked around, hoping to find
someoen to provide him service.
"DAMN!" he shrieked as
a hanging man dropped in front of him, startling even the
calloused black mage. "Careful, dead man. You'll be food for
Dark Force if you do that again!"
"What do you
want? You want to sleep? Show me your GP!" The dead man
didn't seem so amused.
"GP? I only have Meseta..."
"GP or nothing. No room for you. Come back when
you've got some GP to show me!" Mr. Hangman disappeared
again.
Looking around the room, wondering how he would
find some "GP" to pay for the room, Zio spotted an
unsuspecting target. Faster than one's eye can see, Zio
whisked the character into the shadows and and cast
Bindwa (OOC: a spell that puts someone to sleep) on
him, putting the person out of commission for more than enough
time to steal its GP and make off with it. Just then, he
noticed that the man was none other than Lutz, an enemy
of his God's. "Just barely...." he thought to himself.
Heading back to the counter, preparing himself for the
odd clerk, Zio watched as the weird man dropped back from the
ceiling.
"You again? Back so soon? We only take
GP!" Mr. Hangman didn't look happy -- then again, his neck
is in a noose.
"I've got your GP right here,"
Zio scoffed. "Now let me stay."
Wondering how the
magician procued the GP so quickly, but not wanting to
question the intimidating man, Mr. Hangman escorted Zio to his
room.
"Just a quick nap," Zio said to hismelf, "and
then the carnage can truly begin!"

4 wild wolves arose
from behind the gate.
Battle #2: Gilgamesh
vs. Wolf x4
The wolves snarled at
Gilgamesh, and he did nothing but stand still with his eyes
closed. "They'll regret attacking me..." he whispered. The
wolves surrounded him, ready to pounce. The wolves then began
some very strange behavior, and their tails began to separate
into four sections...their claws grew 2x their normal size,
their legs were all of a sudden filled with muscle, and their
faces mutated and spikes emerged from all over their bodies. A
little worried, Gilgamesh began to think. "These are no
ordinary battles...I'd bet anything that Dio's cheating
me...of course! How could I have been so stupid?! Oh well,
i'll have to show that freak what kind of fighter I really
am!"
Gilgamesh sped towards one of the freshly mutated
wolves and split it right in half with Excalipur. He then did
the same to one of the others. The wolves further mutated
until they were double the size they were before...and they
then charged Gilgamesh and bit into his shoulders with their
powerful jaws.
"AAAAAAAAAAAUGH!!" Gilgamesh roared as
he collapsed to the ground. He thought, "This can't be the
end. This is only the second battle afterall...! I CAN'T
LOSE!"
He jumped on top of one of the foul beasts and
slit it's throat, then beckoned the final wolf to charge at
him. It instead gathered the bodies of the other wolves and
combined with their flesh...what Gilgamesh saw then was
absolutely horrifying. He was so shocked he couldn't move, not
at the monster in front of him but the fact that the others
might be too much for him. He madly slashed at the monster,
and it got few shots in before Gilgamesh had defeated it in
his rage.
And with that, the gate again lowered...
"I fear this may be more than I can bear..."

And so it begins
-----
Driscoll smiled quietly. This
place... this place was right. A tournament of death and pain,
held in an amusement arcade. Heh. Somehow, it appealed
to his sense of humour. It was just a shame none of the others
were here - Lloyd, Hans, Sakata..
..but then, what
good would it serve? These people would die for no other
reason than for some god's enjoyment?
Heh.
He smiled again. This place looked to be more fun than
he'd expected - if only cause it appealed to his sense of
humour!
He looked down and tugged his green coat into
place. With all the strange types down here, he needed to
maintain some air of respectability. Tidying a stray strand of
hair, he noticed a sword handle in his belt. Ah yes.. I
used to fence, before the war. Wonder if I still have what it
takes, now I'm without.. Karen..
Pulling the sword
from it's scabbard, he launched himself into a roll, bringing
the blade up to pierce the body of a passing guard.
Standing again, he wiped the blood off the blade onto
the guard's body, and leant over to grab his gun.
Aah... an automatic weapon. Now THIS was a bit
more familiar to him. He slung the carry-strap over his
shoulder, sheathed his sword, and walked on out of the room,
humming a soft tune under his breath...

NOTE: No Votes just yet, despite the fact
I'm Dark. I'd just like to see things play out a little more,
since I've not played most of the games that are being used
here.
-----
Culex stepped out onto the ground
and reflexively gasped. Air... vile, horrible air, swirling
all around me... it's a wonder I can even... breathe? W...
what is this? The foul taint of oxygen permeates everything
nearby, and yet....
Then another sensation came to
him. I... stepped... out? But I-- But he looked down to
see that he did indeed have legs, though they were covered in
a sort of robe. His outfit was black with violet trim, and a
cape of the same purplish hue was slung over his shoulders and
nearly trailed to the ground.
That's right... I
remember now.
Yume did not seem disappointed with
Culex's refusal of her offer. In fact, Culex thought, she did
not seem to feel anything. Culex had sensed her power, of
course, as she reached through the dimensions, pulling the
warriors that she had promised him from to and fro the
multiple universes. Fifty, no more and no less, had accepted
her offer to fight for the ultimate prize. Several others were
merely present for their own reasons. Like Culex.
Culex pondered these things as he walked through the
odd structure Yume had brought them to. It was full of humans,
for the most part, a fact that did not seem so terrible now
that he could survive in the same environment they did. Many
of them were staring, with varying degrees of conspicuousness,
at the amethyst tone of his skin and the piercing red eyes
which glowed slightly. Or, quite possibly, they wish to
determine my strength before they challenge me to battle.
He stopped in front of a sales booth put into place by
one of these humans. The individual was a short, dark-haired
man with a booming voice, advertising his various wares. Culex
approached to look them over, much to the dismay of the
shopkeeper.
"Listen, guy. If you're dressed up for the
performance, forget it. Some freak show moved in and kicked
them out." He spoke brashly and quickly. Evidently, this was a
man who did not weigh his words or consider the possibility of
angering his foe. He was no Knight.
"I am Culex, Dark
Knight of Vanda. I am a warrior, and I--"
"Look, pal,
I don't want to hear it. If you're gonna shop, shop. If you
wanna fight, then go to the Battle Square." He crossed his
arms and glared at the unusual man, and resumed his vigil of
the promenade, looking for more customers.
Then a
marvelous, wonderful scent caught in Culex's nose. His eyes
widened as he looked eagerly for the sight of it... a
treasure, perhaps, could indeed be found among the humans.
But if the Dark Mage were to discover that I have been
involved in such activities.... No matter. The Dark Mage is
not here.
Culex reached down as though his hand
was lightning and seized the item he sought, upsetting the
delicate load of weapons and armor the human was hawking in
the walkway.
"Ah, so you want one of those." The man
smirked. "They're expensive, you know. Something made out
of--"
"I will pay." Culex uttered quickly. "What is
your price? I have never seen such work as this."
"3200 Gil. And you should be glad there's a sale going
on." He frowned as Culex blinked, clearly surprised. "Oh, no
you don't. No Gil, no sale." He reached for the item Culex was
holding delicately in both hands.
"Wait, human!" Culex
thought quickly. I do not know what this Gil is, but it may
be like 'gold,' which other humans use. "Could I interest
you in gold?"
The man's eyes widened as Culex placed
several large coins of pure gold upon his marble countertop.
The icon of a mushroom stamped upon them meant nothing to the
human, who stared at them greedily. "Gold... it's really gold!
It's so rare these days!" he exclaimed gleefully. "Mako
reactors ruin all the precious metals when they tap into the
ground. So all people ever use any more is Gil, except for
Gold Saucer Points, but they don't work outside here....
Praise the Ancients! Gold!"
"Will this suffice?" Culex
asked quickly.
"Oh, yes it will!" he exclaimed, and
then, abruptly remembering his role, frowned again. "...but
just barely. You should feel lucky I'm in a mood to accept
different currency right now." He rapidly shoved the coins
over the counter into his hands and chortled happily.
Culex bowed. "I thank you for your generosity. You
shall be considered honorable in mine eyes."
The Dark
Knight then stared at his treasure lustfully. A Diamond
Bangle, they call it... the gems are exquisite! And so
luscious and well cut.... Culex gave in to his hunger and
ravenously bit into the gems, tearing off a few scattered
shards as his powerful teeth and jaws worked into the precious
materials. Fortunately for Culex, the entire armorpiece was
made of gemstones, and even better was the interior lining,
cut from pearl and other softer gems.
The crowd of
people staring at Culex only intensified as the shopkeeper,
hearing the loud crunching from only a few steps away, turned
to see his wealthy but clearly mad patron eating the
diamond bangle he had purchased. "By Alexander and all that is
Holy..." he began, whispering, but could not control himself
and then shouted, "This lunatic is eating diamonds!"
Culex rapidly finished his meal, his ordinarily
incredible senses not alerting him to the sound of footsteps
behind him. The Dark Knight wiped the slivers from his lipless
mouth and bowed once more to the shopkeeper. "I thank you for
the great meal. You would do well as a restauranteer for we
lithovores." He lifted his head back to normal from his bow,
just as he heard a voice call from behind him.
"Okay,
okay... what's going on here!?"
Culex turned to face
him, and saw before him another human, but this one in the
garb and bearing of a warrior.
"Greetings. I am Culex,
Dark Knight of Vanda. I have eaten and been refreshed. If you
seek to challenge me, I am prepared to fight."

Flammie hovered, watching the action
below. She had a feeling things would heat up later, but there
just wasn't much happening. A few spells had gone off, some
swordplay, but nothing to really draw her attention. At the
moment, she thought she had seen a few of her friends
disappear into transport tubes, but she couldn't be sure.
She felt her wings tiring, and dropped lower, coming
to perch on the top of the Chocobo Racing building. She
relaxed, stretching her wings out, and closed her eyes for a
moment...

Allright. Here I go.
------
Gazing in wonder at the giant mechanical construction
known as the Gold Saucer, the yound swordsman from Forcena
then shook his head and decided to focus on the little things
instead. All the other fighters had basically moved their
seperate ways, leaving him and Yume standing there. She turned
to him and gave a soft chuckle.
"Don't you need to get
moving? The Gold Saucer is facinating for a while, but now
it's promises are all false. Latting your guard down would
result in punishment. And yet you still gaze... One would
almost think that you were a dreamer, than a fighter..."
"What?" Duran shook himself out of his second stupor,
a bit annoyed at the teasing comment, and headed for the
Central Tube network. A soft hand stopped him for a moment.
"One more thing. Whereas you needed magical artifacts
to change class in that Mana-fading world of yours, this
planet is almost *made* of it in the literal effect. This
means that the rules for changing your class type could
change..."
Duran nodded, a bit unsetteled by the news.
He was supposed to find a balance to become stronger... but
the power might find him first. He didn't want that to happen.
Turning to Yume to show his appreciation, he found it was a
futile gesture, as she had already left.
"Allright,
then. It's time to prove myself!"
Duran unsheathed his
sword leaped into the tube named Wonder Square, trying
not to let his armor grind against the wall of the tube as he
was shuttled off.

Lutz TEH Defiant
of Time

“Wake up! Wake up!”
Lutz groggily opened his eyes. A man was shaking him,
his arm pushing him around.
“You OK pal? You know the
beds are up stairs don’t you?”
Lutz struggled to his
feet, his muscles in his lower back had seized up and he
stretched wide to ease the pain.
”A man, a man in a
black cape, have you seen him?” He asked of his waker.
“No, but apparently there was a disturbance here a
while ago. Perhaps he caused it.”
Lutz could feel the
magic of the Bindwa spell leaving his body, it was powerful,
but not powerful enough.
“Yes, perhaps…” Said Lutz. He
clicked his fingers and his staff shot up into his out
stretched hand.
He raised his hands and a yellow-ish
smoke spilled from them, and as it fell to the floor it
reacted with something in the air, as a thin red light hung
there, like fog.
“What’s that spell? That’s some funny
materia you’ve got there friend” said the man shaking his
head.
“Materia?” Enquired Lutz “Hmph, no worry, I must
be off”
He walked to the stairs, but they curled up in
front of him
”What the…!”
“hehehe… you gotta
pay before you even try to get up there!”
Lutz
turned, the hangman was once again behind the counter
“I take it you is after the person that floored you?
Well, he’s up there, but you ain’t going up. Unless you have
some cash…”
Checking his pocket Lutz found no gp, only
the 1000 gil.
“Nah! We don’t take gil here,
just gp. You want some advice? Go to the races and bet that
cash” And with that the hangman was slowly hauled back towards
the ceiling.
“Damn you, whoever you are” Muttered
Lutz, “I will find you and destroy you. All servants of
darkness shall perish before me.
He turned around and
left the hotel, heading towards the chocobo races.
---------------
Not long after Lutz appeared
at the Battle Square, back from the races. He’d had a
little luck on the races, he’d won an “Ether” which was said
to restore magic powers and an elixir. However a man near by
had persuaded him to sell the Elixir to him so that he might
aid his daughter who was terminally ill. The man had insisted
on paying Lutz 20gp, despite Lutz’s protest that the man could
have the Elixir for such a noble cause. But the man had been
adamant, saying he wouldn’t be able to live with himself.
Lutz noticed that a large crowd had gathered around the
arena, watching the combatant within. He gazed in and saw
an unlikely warrior. He had four arms! But Lutz saw he was
an awesome close combat fighter. He had quickly disposed of
his adversaries with a speed that was impressive to say the
least. In the second round ge looked as though he was
beat, but the the wolves fell with a chilling ease, despite
the wound on his shoulder. As the next monster entered the
battle Lutz raised his hand and light eradiated from it, and
focused on the garishly dressed combatant.
“Lets see
how well you do against the next one, with a little slow spell
to help you” Grinned Lutz “A true agent of evil wouldn’t let
such a little thing bother him, lets see how you do.” And with
that Lutz turned and headed towards the tubes.

Daigohji FFOS6:
Setzer
|
The rest of the contestants had already
disbursed, even Yume was no longer in sight. Setzer sat alone
for a moment in a secluded corner of the Event Square
auditorium, much as he had at the opera house every night for
months. Rather than dashing off as all the others had done, he
decided to take time to devise an appropriate strategy. He
stood and walked over to a map near the exit to familiarise
himself with the layout of the place. Eventually his eyes
settled on the area labelled Chocobo Racing.
Hmm, a
place to earn money Setzer thought, that may be
useful.
His cloak whipped round as he turned on
his heel and strode out to the hallway. Scanning the row of
transit tubes he headed for the one marked Chocobo Square and
nimbly jumped in.
It took only a few moments for
Setzer to arrive. Looking up he saw a staircase carpeted with
purple velvet leading up to a golden dome bathed in a rainbow
of light. He ascended the stairs and as he approached the dome
could hear the cheers of the winners and the cries of the
losers inside.
“I’m home”, he whispered to himself
with a smirk.
There was a sudden rush of hot air from
the ventilation system as he passed through the doorway and
approached the nearest desk. A bored looking employee handed
him a flier containing betting information.
It
seems this place has it’s own currency. I need some to get
started.
Setzer surveyed the punters for a likely
candidate. Almost immediately he recognised the classic
drooping stance of someone in a major slump. He approached the
man and asked what the problem was.
“Damn it all, I
had everything bet on Rocket Town Blues”, Cid moaned with a
well chewed cigarette flapping from his lower lip. “The
useless fleabag fell at the first corner.”
“How
terrible”, Setzer feigned sympathy, “the same thing happened
to me last week. I tell you what; if we goes halves on the
next bet I’ll let you have three quarters of the winnings.”
Cid’s eyes lit up, “Really?” He fumbled around in his
pockets and pulled out a single gold coloured coin. “Here’s my
last 10GP.”
“Excellent” Setzer smiled, “I’ll add 10 of
my own and make the bet. What’s your tip for the next race?”
“Centra’s Handbag is a dead cert!”
Setzer
walked over to a desk at the opposite end of the room so that
Cid could not see him. He looked at the board for a moment,
Centra’s Handbag was at 3:1. {I]The amateur’s choice[/I], he
thought to himself. The chocobo looked well groomed and its
speed was good, but stamina was lower than Corel Lifer at
25:1.
Making sure that Cid was far enough away that he
could not hear, Setzer put the coin on the desk, “10GP on
Corel Lifer.”
Setzer’s choice won easily and gained
him 250GP. Cid on the other hand left with nothing, having
believed that the money had gone on Centra’s Handbag.
“Old times”, Setzer chuckled and looked at the screens
for the next race.
