I think we need some apocalyptic action to spice up the round, no? How about Ruby WEAPON attacks the Gold Saucer?

And I wish I could stay, but I'm too tired to make a decent post, so I'm going to get a few hours of sleep and come back before the round finishes to get my votes in. G'night, all.

OOC: Dai - Ow! Um.. that contradicts my story completely tho.. hm. Oh well. Continuity error, they happen :P I'll let you off for playing him so well.

Leo examined the object in his hand. It was some kind of strange orb, glowing with a green light. He'd found it his shoe of all places, probably picked up while running from the battle arena. It had a certain feel about it that reminded him of Magicite.

Experimentally he put it near the pommel of his dagger. It dropped into place with an audible *click*

CRASH

Leo was hit by a shockwave, followed by a slightly charred Setzer and a singed Driscoll. Seeing an opportunity to try his new find out. He pointed the Imperial at the Wanzer pilot, and rubbed the orb. Driscoll was suffused with a green glow, and looked up at him, puzzled. Leo cursed. It would have to be a Cure whateverthethingumyjig was, wouldn't it.

1 R-Vote to Driscoll, just so I get to say the word Wanzer. There, I said it again. Wanzer. Wanzer wanzer wanzer...

*****At the Speed Square....*****

Gogo crouched down and hid behind the prize booth. Driscoll was walking off, a Parasol in his hand. Cecil, who had a little trouble keeping up with Gogo, was walking in Driscoll's direction completely unware of who he was.
Gogo came out from his hiding place and yelled to Cecil;
"That's him! Keep him where he is!"

Driscoll turned to see Gogo, then tried to make an escape. Cecil swiftly blocked his path, waiting for his companion to reach them.
Gogo ran towards him, drawing the Ogre Nix and busting Driscoll's nose with the broad side of the blade. The man fell to the floor, crying out in pain.

"I hate to sound cowardly Cecil," Gogo said rapidly "But let us make our exit, I have avenged my friend and now it is time to leave."

Together they ran off into the crowd, leaving the fallen man clutching his nose...

OOC: Damn, I'm gone for half a day and it appears that I'm almost voted out. So goes life...

--------------------------
"Fungah. Here I've been, trapped on my back for what seemed like hours while these peasants take potshots at me. This can't be the way my story ends...the Great Bowser, cut down in his prime? No! I won't let my story end this way. I must get up! For my reputation! For the good of the Koopa race! For Yume! YUME!!!"

Suddenly, I sprung to his feet, shaking the very floor at which everyone stood upon. A part of the ceiling collapsed, burying some small white rodent, which I couldn't be bothered to care about. I began to walk away, when I noticed the smoltering case of a familiar being. It was Boomer, one of the fiends who had invaded my castle with Smithy. It appeared that he had already been thoroughly smashed, but I kicked him as I walked by just to be evil. Mwa ha ha...

I made my way around the Gold Saucer, looking for opponents to combat. My tail still burning, I walked into what appeared to be a casino. A silver-haired man was going wild at the craps table, and a large crowd of spectators had gathered.

"Come on baby! Give me seven!" the silver gambler remarked. "WINNER!" The crowd erupted in cheers. Hmmph. People having fun...without me. I'll put a stop to that.

When the silver gambler rolled again, I suddenly stomped the ground with another tremendous thud. The craps table shook, the dice bounced too hard, and came back and hit the gambler in the face. Mwa ha ha...that was cool. "OH, SNAKEYES, I'm sorry sir!" The crowd let out a groan of disapproval. Yes, I'd done my job. Mwa ha ha...

I continued walking until I came into what appeared to be a hotel, only there were ghosts around. A young general appeared to be checking himself into a room. As I looked around, I managed to overhear his plans for the tournament. Hmmm...an opponent. Suddenly a corpse fell from the ceiling.

"Hello, I'm Mr. Hangman!" Mr. Hangman? O....K.....

I asked Mr. Hangman about the young general. "His name is General Leo. A fine warrior, although he's a bit jumpy. He almost had a heart attack when I came out of the ceiling to check him in!"

Hmmm...he scares easily eh? That night I waited for Leo to go sleep, whereupon I snuck into his room. I summoned Big Boo! Big Boo appeared and taunted the General. Sadly, Leo could not be awoken. I tossed a rock at him, and he awoke. Unfortunately, as soon as Leo saw Big Boo, Big Boo covered his face in shame. Argh, I should have known that would happen. But nonetheless, the job had been accomplished. I looked upon Leo, and he had passed out from the shock! Either that, or he never woke up. Oh well. I'll do my evil laugh anyway. Mwa ha ha...

Suddenly I heard a thunderous noise outside. I exited the hotel discover Ganon battling a small elvin warrior. This was the same Ganon who earlier had blasted me from behind. Payback's are a Peach. Mwa ha ha...I suddenly unleashed a relentless claw and stomp attack on the green warrior. I noticed the elvin warrior was still staring in amazement at my prowess. So I clobbered him too. Mwa ha ha....

I decided I would go on a sort of reconaissance mission for the next few hours, scouting out foes...and females. Mwa ha ha...

They were inturrupted by a sudden loud crash.

"Again?" Lemina complained.

"Let me handle this...byt the power of Althena!" Mia cried, using here Flameria spell on the approaching enemy. It moaned and ran out. "Easy enough..." Mia said with a small smile.

"Mega-awesome spell!" Lemina exclaimed.

"Thanks...here, let me use this in case we run into any more...annoyences..." She used her Power Drive spell on Lemina.

"Thanks, er, so, anyways..."

"You were saying...about Vane? And the Guild?" Mia prompted.

Heheh...there's no point in kicking the guy when he's down, but...

Back to you, Luna. ^^ *Needs to get rid of her votes before she suffers from vote burn*

And I agree, Ex, you play Edge almost too well...

Without warning, the car began to shake violently. Rydia struggled to maintain her balance as the car lurched suddenly, and Edge was thrown from his seat entirely.

"Damn! I don't think I can get us out of this..."

It felt like the gondola would be coming down any second now.

"Relax, Edge," Rydia said calmly, "I'm perfectly capable of handling this myself. Warp!"

The two vanished, then reappeared just outside the ticket booth.

"Nice move, cutie. I always thought your looks were only rivaled by your wits." Edge smiled warmly.

Rydia rolled her eyes. "What was that, anyway?"

Edge shrugged, then pointed at a figure walking away slowly from a broken support pillar and a destroyed car. "You there! Did you do this?"

The man ignored him.

"Fine, eat this!" With blinding speed, Edge launched a shuriken at the man.

Even more quickly, the shuriken was deflected by a playing card. A playing card? What the hell?

"I don't have time for this," the man said as he continued walking away.

Despite his surprise, Edge didn't hesitate. "Flood!"

A tidal wave of magical force slammed Setzer into the far wall of the Round Square.

"Stay back, Rydia. Whoever this guy is, he's not down yet."

Your turn, Daig. No hard feelings, but Edge was enjoying that gondola ride.

-Edge, FFO Survivor VI intro

OOC: Ack, I hadn't realised that Zio was a sidekick. I'll go back and take out the votes.

Baka: This is why the server going down is such a problem. In the time it took me to write and post that story your character took a moral u-turn. I'm going to leave it as is though, since I really liked that battle (and it's very late at night). I don't want there to be any pent up aggression between us though, so feel free to retaliate if you really want to.

Hmm, two more votes.

Sorry Ex. Bad case of timing and postlag. (And no time for me to be able to give it a good rewrite). So we'll just assume that and go on with the gondola. And Edge isn't an idiot boy... he's twitterpated.... XD

Be forewarned... I took benadryl in adesperate attempt to kick the hell out of this cold. All irrationality from here on out is... well... due to that. Hopefully it doesn't knock me out. :P

Edit: Geez.... *kicks server*

Ya know Ex... give a persona chance to reply. :P

....

“That was almost more than I bargained for.” Stated Golbez, slightly disturbed by how easy it was to kill again. Where little time had passed on the Blue Planet for the others, he had slept for many, many years. The dreams had haunted him the entire time, and he had learned to regret his actions. Still, it was a sensation he had missed.

“Well, I wonder how rusty my magic is after all these years. Surely it’ll come in handy…” He chanted for a moment, and cast a fireball off into the adjacent room. “Not too shabby, I think I might be able to make them proud of me again. Curse you Zemus, curse you for ever choosing me…”

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

“Bwahahahahahahahaha! You’re all fools! Take this! And that! And a little bit more of this! Bwahahahahaha!” Kefka was striking down his foes with his considerable power. He raised one warrior straight into the air, and flung him into a robot-like thing in the corner. Golbez watched him with great interest.

“So he’s the one. Responsible for the deaths of all those people…They didn’t have to die, but he made it so.” Kefka then channelled his energy into an attack on a passing knight.

Cecil.

“That fiend! He’ll not survive the ramifications of this act!”

Golbez charged at Kefka, knocking him to the ground. “What’s this? Ooooo, looks like we’ve got a live one here! Bwahahahahaha! Seriously, go away now ya little twerp, unless you’d like to be fried. Bwahahahaha!”

“I don’t think you fully understand what you’re up against. Allow me to show you the power I once knew.” Golbez tightened his fist, and slashed at Kefka with his claw. Then he walked away, hoping his brother had witnessed the display.

“You saved me once, you know. Simply repaying the debt…”

Somewhere in Wonder Square, Driscoll hunted. The tall man in the leathers was around here somewhere...

A tall knight in armour stood ahead - like the one with the tall man earlier, only... different. He spotted the robed mimic again - This guy dogs me to my death. I should destroy him now.

Pulling a grenade from his belt, he pulled the pin and lobbed it over the top of an arcade machine. With a loud BOOM, debris scattered across the room, and a lick of flame almost singed Driscoll's hair. Patting himself down, he stood up and walked through the rubble, keeping an eye out for the knight and the robed man, but they were nowhere to be seen. He's probably escaped again. He's starting to annoy me now.

Then, in a corner, lying dazed, he spotted a figure he'd been looking for - the tall man in leathers. Jogging over, he slung his guns down and helped the guy up.

"Hey there, soldier. You look like you could use a hand there."

Gannon coughed, spitting a trickle of blood from his mouth. "Y-you... I helped you earlier. Why did you come back?"

"Well.. I dunno. I guess one favour deserves another, and I hate being in debt." Driscoll looked around, and grabbed a broken bar from a support strut. "Your arm looks broken. Let me splint it. Uh, this may hurt."

Gannon let out a howl of pain, as Driscoll snapped the arm straight, then quickly tied it up in a splint. Standing up, he saluted briskly. "Better be heading off now. Good luck in this." With that, he grabbed his guns, turned and walked off.

I think you're going to need it...

I hope I am correct^^;

After a while of crawling through the small ducts, they came to a vent. Both looked through it. "Hmm… I have no idea what room we are above." Vincent said honestly.
"Hey! Down there, it’s Kefka!" Through the vents, they spotted the little clown.
"That’s him? Heh, HAH, HAHAHA!" Vincent began to laugh
"What’s so funny? That man murdered thousands!" Terra said.
"No, I’m not laughing about that. He looks like a maniacal retard." Vincent said, still trying to contain his laughter after seeing the clown. "Nevertheless, he’s a killer. Wanna have at him?"
"Yes, I have got to do SOME battling. Let’s go!" Terra said, unsheathing her sword. She pounded the vent with the hilt, sending it down on the clown.
"HEY! What the?" Surprised, he ran from the two.
"Hey, wait!" Vincent said, jumping from the shaft.
Turning around, with a big smile on his face, Kefka said "Wait he says. What do I look like, a waiter?" Kefka seemed to find this funny, letting his laugh go. "Kwahahaha"
"Okay, this is just weird. Let’s just get him!" Vincent pulled out his gun, firing at the clown while Terra took her spell stance. Soon, the room was filled with Ultima.
"OW! That hurt!" Kefka yelled. The girl still stayed in spell stance. "Oh no, not another one!" Terra let loose another Ultima, sending the man flying backwards.
"Heh, two spells for the price of one. That’s nifty, now let’s get back to the ventilation.
The two walked for quite some time again. "We’re above the casino now." Vincent commented as they approached a vent.
"It’s Setzer!" Terra said, looking down. "He looks…depressed. Let’s go down." Busting throught he vent again, they dropped down. Setzer heard them, and went to a guard stance. After realizing it was Terra, he became calm again.
"Hey, Terra! Who’s he?" Setzer said, still with his head hung low.
"It’s Vincent. He’s helping me. You look down." Terra said, trying to comfort him.
"I lost at a dice game because of some stupid turtle."
"Hey, cheer up. You almost always win! Just get back to the tables. And, as for this turtle, don’t worry. We’ll get him." Terra said, comforting the man.
"Thanks Terra." Setzer turned back to the tables.
"Common Vincent, let’s get this fun ruining turtle!" Terra exclaimed
"If you wanna find him, I think he headed outside the hotel." Setzer said, turning from the tables for a split second.
And so, the two went outside the hotel, finding their fine shelled enemy.
"This place is weird. First a clown, now a turtle? Puny turtle, face my wrath!" Vincent exclaimed, shooting at it.
"WAH! I’m no puny turtle, eat those words, NOW!" The turtle said, just before being blasted by Ultima. "OUCHIES!" The Ultima hit everything outside, including Ganon. She then let lose another one as Vincent shot at the turtle.
"Let’s head back to the ventilation," Terra said, pulling Vincent.
"You really don’t need my help, do you?" Vincent said feeling helpless.
"No, I do. You bring me comfort."

urk. How do you people keep up with all of this? I didn't have time earlier, so I missed out on 7 hours of this. And then there's 13 pages?
Well, I completely forgot about my intro, so I'll try to tie it into this post.

ToP SPOILERS AHEAD!!!



Dhaos took in the new surroundings, just awakening from a long sleep. He couldn't remember how he got there, or why he was there. He could only remember that dream.
A strange woman had come in his dream. Yuma, she called herself. She had whispered to him of a source to his problem. She spoke of a tournament with the prize being 'exactly what he wanted.'
What could the 'prize' be then? Visions of Dhaos' home world came flooding back. A world where life is magic and magic is slowly fading. It was a dying world, for sure. Dhaos remembered watching the lesser beings fall ill and die soon after. His own family fell all the same. Dhaos remembered what he had been ordered to do; "Seek the mana seed to save a doomed world."
Could that be this award? Dhaos wanted this seed more than anything, even if obtaining it called for challenging his own peaceful morale.
'But could that too have all been a dream?' Dhaos questioned, kneeling to the floor while grasping his head, as if it would stop the confusion. 'Is this a dream? No, mustn't think such things. I can feel this..it is real.
Dhaos briefly stood up, determined to go on even if it would be nothing more than a dream. Amidst the various strange creatures and people, Dhaos felt like a giant; a king among them.
Yet he sensed a powerful aura in the area. No, these were not people to take lightly. He would have to treat them as very real threats.
Looking around, Dhaos wondered where to go.
He whispered silently to himself. "What is this place anyway? How can this not be a dream." Brushing his long, blonde hair away from his face, Dhaos began to move on, heading towards a 'wonder square.'

Sorry, Minty! Guess I got caught up in the action. You were eating dinner, you know.

Hmm, now Leo's there, too. This could be interesting...

I'll wait for your post this time, Mintaka.

You want apocalyptic action, eh, Slipstream? >=)

The girl hadn't gone down, and Slash had to admit his own admiration of her stamina. The Dash Slash was no parlor trick, and certainly lethal with the laser-thin edge of the Slasher II. He'd slain dozens of humans in the old wars with that one basic move. Even then, he could not fell her with the blow...

Well, I am more than a little rusty...bah. Should've slain the Fat One when I had the chance in the Void-

His thoughts were banished as a torrent of wind whipped against his back, treating the armor under his white shirt like paper. Slash grunted, going down on one knee as a roar of immense proportions shook the very foundation of the Battle Arena. He bit his lower lip, craning his head over his shoulder with all the might he could muster- no easy task, considering the wind had to be nearly eighty miles an hour. He pressed the edge of the Slasher II against the ground, forcing himself up to get a good look at what was going on behind him.

The other swordsman stood over an ensanguined husk of what looked like a wolf-like creature. The door was wide open, and Slash saw two red dots growing closer. He frowned, his eyes squinting as he tried to decipher what they were- in this wind, who could tell?! They were glowing, yellow-rimmed, curving into slits-

Oh, damn.

They were eyes, eyes that belonged to a tremendous wedge-shaped head. Horns twisted from above the two glowing orbs, and below drifted a set of three-row fangs, gladius size. A long, steaming neck connected the demonic head to a muscular quadrupedal trunk, ending in talons of saber size. A long, thrashing tail was barbed with horn and serrated spine, and shorter batlike wings flapped where the actual spine should have gone. Charcoal skin wrapped the enormous beast, its underbelly a sickly pale yellow. Its mouth frothed with acidic white, and it let out another trumpeting roar. Its wings flapped, and wind battered Slash once more, and he brought the Slasher II up to ward it off, cursing violently under his breath.

"By the blood of hell! A black wyrm! A dragon!" Slash took a step back, the dragon's groundshaking steps only hastening his idea of retreat. Gilgamesh seemed dauntless, however- it stopped Slash in his tracks for a moment. The swordsman cursed himself for being so spineless- it was a dragon, yes, but a mortal dragon. He clutched the Slasher II once more, poising for the Dash Slash once again.

He heard steps behind him, suddenly. "Wh-what the hell!? Hey! Get the guards in here! That thing's coming this way!"

It was the clerk from before. Slash fought back a groan, wondering how anyone could be so utterly, mindlessly stupid-

The clerk shot ahead of them, waving to the guards stationed on the top of the arena wall. "I said get security down here, dammit! This one's live! Get securi-"

His voice was drowned out by the roar of the dragon, and as Slash turned his eyes to the dragon's snarling visage, he realized grimly what was coming next. Orange light surged in the dragon's gullet, like a demonic halo over a boiling cauldron, and the beast reared up on its hind legs. Its throat snaked into an "S", and then straightened forward with its jaws wide, as though for a lunging bite. Unfortunately, such a bloody fate was not what the monster had in mind. From the belly of the beast flared an unholy light that surged up into the throat, and then climaxed in the dragon's mouth.

The clerk looked up, and Slash felt just a spark of pity. Just a spark.

Fire belched like a flamethrower from the dragon's mouth, engulfing the hapless man before them in an utter inferno. His screams were again drowned out, this time by the absolute chaos of the furnace ray, and he lit up. For a moment, Slash could see the victim's bones turn black, and then the clerk's flesh melted like ice cream on a hot day. His shrieks died into oblivion just as the hellish heat faded into smoke and the putrid scent of roasted skin.

Slash wiped sweat from his azure forehead, again backstepping rapidly. "I truly desire to stay and battle, but I just remembered that I have squares to sack, people to kill, and dragons were never part of the equation." He welled the courage to smirk at the other swordsman and the girl. "Hope you can last- farewell!"

The Mystic turned and sped from the arena, jumping the steps down into the square. Klaxons went off in the central arena, and Slash heard wood shatter with that same awful heat again. Although technically invulnerable to heat, Slash didn't want to test what temperature would prove incinerating to him.

Better to not waste time fighting dragons- I've got others to smite! Slash ran, ran as fast as his legs would carry him, aware of the dragon bursting out of the arena behind him. As he exited the arena itself, he let his rear slide along the polished banister of the long stairway down. He risked a glance, and saw the dragon's head burst out of the drywall of the arena entrance. For a moment, he wondered if the swordsman and the girl were hurt.

If they are, it's two less to worry about. Slash dismounted the banister and wasted no time charging into the tube that would take him into Wonder Square.

Behind him, he heard the demon dragon roar its challenge at the top of the Battle Square staircase.

OOC: Bandwidth. Problems. Slowly. Driving me. Insane!

Though Locke was quite shocked to see Leo alive and well, Leo made it clear that he was after Kefka, and had no time to chat with Locke.

Locke took off the rest of the Chocobo suit and stuffed it into a dumpster. "Dang thing brought me nothing but trouble," he thought to himself, "I guess it worked quite well as a disguise, though, as no one's attacked me yet."

Locke spent the next several hours wandering aimlessly throughout the Gold Saucer. Lost in thought, Locke eventually walked right into Flea, knocking him head over heals.

"Pardon me ma'am," Locke was quick to apologize.

"I'm no woman," Flea responded, "and don't you dare talk down to me human." With that, Flea began readying a spell.

"A man, huh?" Locke thought, "Only one way to find out!" Locke gave Flea a quick kick to the... you know, and immediately turned tail and fled.

"If he really was a man, he shouldn't be in any condition to chase after me."

A few minutes later, Locke spyed the giant turtle roaming the halls. He looks pretty beat up," thought Locke, "Poor guy"

"Hey you," Locke called out.

"Wad'da'ya want!" Demanded Bowser, "I'm in no mood to..."

"This could get ugly," Locke quickly realized. "Here, catch!" Locke yelled, throwing Bowser a potion, and once again vanishing down the halls.

Angela had moved on once more. She leapt in a tube marked "Speed Square"... sounded exciting, by the name, at least.

There was a large device with seats, attached to a long, winding path. She thought about it, and finally decided to give it a try. She'd been walking around for quite some time; why not take a break and go on a nice little ride?

She headed towards the event when a man garbed in armour ran right into her, sending her flying to the side. The knight toppled over and rolled by, eventually coming to a stop a few feet from her.

"Geez! What the hell are you doing? Watch where you're going!" she cried in anger.

The young knight got up and dusted his blue pants off, turning to the young sorceress. "Sorry 'bout that."

"Uh..." Angela stared into his eyes. He looked like a friendly sort, even though he appeared a little rough. The young man had long, wavy orange hair that looked something like an afro... but man, was...

"Hey, you okay?" the knight queried. "You look a little dizzy there!"

"Uh, no! I'm fine!" She ran off towards the roller coaster, blushing.

Duran smiled a bit as he watched her go.

Angela's mind raced. Gah, what a stupid thing to say! ... but man, what a hunk!

---

"Uh, hi! Can I get on this... er... thing?" she asked to the attendant.

"That'll be 10 GP, please..."

"Um..." She searched her pockets, only to discover she had no money. She pulled a bar of Pakkun Chocolate out of her robe. "I have this... will that be okay?"

"Well..." the attendant pondered over the gift. "All right. I haven't eaten lunch, so I'll take it. But you'll have to pay next time!"

"Thanks!" Angela exclaimed as she hopped in. She found a contraption at her side. "Hey, what's this do?" She waved the laser gun around and fiddled with the trigger.

"Hey! Watch where you're pointing that thing!! Didn't your mother tell you not to point guns at people?"

A pained expression emerged from Angela's face at the sound of that. Mother...

The man noticed he'd offended her. "I'm sorry... just be a little more careful, okay? Now, take that laser gun and shoot all the targets you see on the ride. Get enough points and you'll get a prize! Have fun!" He pulled a lever and the cart rocketed off.

"Yaaaaaaaahhhh!" Angela screamed in surprise as she rocketed off, climbing up the first portion of the ride, then suddenly diving almost straight down. "Whooooaaaaa! This is awesome!!"

Sorry guys, I got home at 3:30, but FFO wouldn't let me through, so I'm gonna write in for Celes now.

------

Celes walked around the new "Gold Saucer".

"This is like nothing I've seen before....." she uttered.

She quickly noticed that everyone had gone ahead of her.

"Dammit, I can feel Kefka here too! I bet I'm not the only one who wants him gone!" she said.

She walked around the area some more, trying to get a feel on where to go. She decided on the Wonder Square.

"I wonder what wonders await me there..."

Before she went in, she made sure her Rune Blade was set. She remembered the day she'd picked it. "Not the strongest," the swordsmith had said, "But definitely with its own unique talents, such as an affinity to Runic and Ice magics."

After the Espers had been expelled, all Celes had was her Ice spell and Runic. Through deep training, she gained up to Ice 3 and even created a few of her own spells from ancient scrolls.

She jumped in the tube, wholly ready for the sting of battle. Down she went, the velocity had just begun to bother her when she ejected into the wonder square. What a strange place she'd come across.

She quickly heard voices, and hid behind a column with her sword and Genji Shield drawn. The shield kept a strain on her arm, but she needed the protection.

"I never thought I'd see the likes of you here!" said the bandana wearing figure.

"Same for you, Locke!" said General Leo.

Celes gasped, "General Leo!"

Locke and Leo quickly turned to see who'd made this noise.

Celes ran out from the pillar, "Friends, it is I!"

"Celes?" said Leo.
Locke was strangely quiet. "Not going off to teach those war crazed students Celes?"

"Oh honestly Locke, are you still bitter about my decision to leave the Figaro Kingdom? SOMEBODY needs to teach them what little magic we can find! The neo-kefkites are far too strong for them!" she said.

"Will you ever understand that war only makes more war? Why didn't you join the neutral Figaro Kingdom like me and the others?" asked Locke.

"Because..... because I needed to have some fight left in me," she laughed.

"This is no time for bickering! We have a job to do!" commanded Leo.

"Have either of you seen Kefka?" asked Celes.

"KEFKA?!" they exclaimed.

Edge pushed himself up. Damn, that didn't go at all as I had hoped...

"Well, my gripe wasn't with you before, dude, but now you'd better be on guard!" Edge said arrogantly to Leo. Now's my chance to impress Rydia! Sweet!

Edge charged forward, his swords drawn. Just as he had nearly reached his new enemy, he used the Ninja magic Blur.

Leo lost sight of the charging ninja just as the Masamune found its target. The General backed up quickly and held his wounded side.

"Okay, you two, let's not stop now," the King of Eblan said to Leo and Setzer, "the party's just begun!"

The Dark Knight slowly made his way into the tunnel, Mimic close behind him. The walls rumbled with the vibrations of the track above, unsettling Gogo a bit more than he cared to admit. They were on the tracks of Driscoll, a man he had learned not to take lightly. Cecil didn't seem as concerned, never having run into the old soldier. However, they weren't taking any chances.

He should be here, somewhere said the Knight. No one we asked has seen him go by, and this is the only exit to this place.

Well, then be careful. He's one sneaky bastard...

The Mimic was still nursing his pride after being shoved face-first into a trashcan.

As they came out of the tunnel, the duo was greeted by an explosion of light and sound. Speed Square was one of the main attractions at the Saucer, and many were the ones who came to prove the steadiness of their hands, the speed of their reflexes, the solidness of their stomachs, with the wild ride on the twisting track.

Well. Do you seem him anywhere?

No. Maybe he's not here.

A flash in the corner of the Dark Knight's eye was the only warning he had, as he dove towards Gogo in an attempt to get both of them out of the path of the blast that started raining around them.

The Knight rolled and came up on one knee.Where's it coming from?

Up there! On the side of the tracks!

A silver figure was firing bolts of energy from his whispy arms onto the duo, faceless expression complementing his mechanic efficiency.

Damn! Take him from the left, I'll run in from the right. Wait for my attack so you can copy it!

Understood!

As they ran in opposite directions, their plan became obvious. Force the robot to pick a single target, and have the other one rush in while it was distracted.

They never thought the robot would simply teleport right in the middle of them, extend an appendage to each, and start blasting away.

Cecil, being covered in heavy armour, had not chance to move out of the way and took the brunt of the blasts. Gogo managed to dodge the first blasts, but didn't follow through with anything, since he didn't have any attacks that would be effective.

Argh! Take this, you foul metal beast!

The Dark Knight pulled out his sword and charged. Power surged through his body, making his armour glow in a soft light.

But the enemy could teleport. A small oversight.

Gogo's look of astonishment as Cecil ran him through was... well, it was comical, really.

So much for well thought-out plans.

Zelda walked through the halls. Cloud had left her as soon as she had met up with Link, noticing a girl that he knew to run off and talk to. After the gondola ride, she had left Link to take care of some of her own matters...namely...Gannon.

Her bow in front of her, she walked catiously down the halls. turning a corner, she saw something move, and immediately shot an arrow into its arm off reflex.

"uugh...Not gannon...just a turtle..."

Zelda turned and walked further away.

After hopping into an area marked "Battle Square" she noticed a monsterous figure she knew all too well.

"Gann....AHHHHH!!!!"

A bolt of lightning struck her down before she could even finish her sentance. The vile fiend had blasted her while her gaurd was down, and for that, he would pay dearly.

Zelda hopped to her feet, favoring her shoulder.

"Gannon...Vile fiend.....This ends now....."

Zelda held an arrow at the ready, and pulled her arm back, tightening the bow.

"Hah!! Foolish girl!!! You cannot harm me with normal arrows!!! Mwahahaha!!!"

To this, Zelda just smiled knowingly and muttered "I know..."

Zelda's arrow started to glow a with a yellowish light.
"And that's why I'm not even going to try.....DIN, NAYRU, FARORE!! I CALL UPON THEE!!! INFUSE MY ARROW WITH YOUR DIVINE POWER!!!"

The arrow left Zelda's bow with blinding speed, and nailed Gannon right through the chest. "UUgh...You'll pay for this princess...." the beast said before dissappearing into the darkness.

"Well...that takes care of Gannon....for now..." said Zelda as she walked off.

During the initial exchange Setzer had managed to land the two of spades in Edge’s shoulder. As Leo pulled him free from the path of the flood the gambler turned back to face the ninja. His cloak flapped open and a cloud of intense flame rolled out toward the startled man. Edge narrowly managed to avoid the heart of the inferno, but was still badly burned. He seemed unwilling to continue the battle, there did not seem to have been any serious motivation for it.

The green haired girl supported the ninja as they walked away and Setzer marveled at how quickly his mastery of the materia was advancing. Now that all was quiet he turned to Leo and offered him the only thanks he could think of. As they shook hands the healing powers of the Restore materia channelled into the General.

*CRASH!*

All of the gates had been knocked down, and beasts were all over the place. And, as Gilgamesh had expected, they were all immensely powerful. He ran over to the tube where he was gonna exit into the wonder square.

"That guy looks like he's loaded..." Gilgamesh thought...

He went over to the guy and threatened him successfully for 500 GP, then he ran to the wonder square. On his way he saw a moogle and a mysterious wrapped man, and swiftly whacked them with one of his swords as he sped past looking for some better weapons. "Over there! An axe! Finally..." he yelled as he sped towards the axe, picked it up, and lept into the rafters looking for more. He ended up near the top of the wonder square, just metres away from a chocobo track. Gilgamesh jumped up onto it and noticed that the scenery was rapidly changing...

It was...bright. Brighter than anything he could ever imagine. He could barely see with all the flashing lights, but then he heard something. He looked to the right, and all of a sudden a herd of chocobos trampled him under their feet. He got up, and immediately jumped through the holographic wall and ended up falling through the roof of the main square and saw some strange people. His head was messed up a little in the fall, and he wasn't thinking clearly at all...he unleashed a wave of energy from his swords, knocking down Edge, Rydia, Leo C, Celes and Setzer. A power which he never had before...he ran off back into the battle square and knocked down every single beast with a slash of his fake weapons, then left for the Wonder Square. He stood in front of an injured man who looked somewhat like an orc, and he finally came to his senses right before slashing the man with his axe. "W...wwah...? Um...damn. What the hell did I do? Why'd I hurt those guys?! Oh man...I hope this will compensate..."

Gilgamesh tossed an Elixir to the man, and nodded as he jumped back into the railing. He saw something he couldn't stand nearby. "Turtle? Oy...I hate turtles!"

He swooped down and used one of his deathblows on the massive turtle, then leapt up to the highest area in the saucer to have a look around.

Heh, this is really fun! Darn, it makes me wish I hadn’t missed all the other Survivors. Aw well, here’s my post:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After much crawling through the ventilation, they reached the round square. They jumped down from the vent. Terra looked at the contraption in wonderment. "Hey! That looks like fun, let’s go on!"
"It just goes around the Golden Saucer. You do get some good sights, so, good idea." Vincent paid the cashier and led Terra to the car. "After you, m’lady."
"Heh," Terra laughed, getting into the cozy car. Vincent followed soon after, closing the door. The ride began. "Wee!" It left the square and headed out into the night sky. "Wow, isn’t it so beautiful! I think it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen!"
"Well, er… um…" Vincent began to get nervous, struggling with what to say. "I think you’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen." Terra froze, not knowing what to say. She didn’t know how to act. The only ‘love’ that she ever knew was the love for the kids. "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said anything…" Vincent receded into the corner, regretting his statement. His face turned beet red. He really did like her… Lucrecia had been the only woman he’d ever liked up until now. He didn’t know how to approach it, and he knew he goofed.
"No, it’s quite all right. I just didn’t know how to react…er… I like you too!" She finally said it. She confessed to liking someone other than the kids. Looking into the night sky, she pondered the thought of loving someone other than the kids. The feelings overcame her. It was a lot different than with them. She liked this feeling. Maybe, she thought, she’d stay with him past this tournament.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Heh, who can say they didn’t see that one coming! Yeah, go Vincent! Erm… no votes here anyways.

Humm, I'm going to assume that after I get beaten up, and fall flat on my face, again , that I did that whole walk into the world of gambling with chocobos thing.

With me scrambling to find ANYTHING to attack, it seems like all strategy has flown out the window.

When was Flea the type to use strategy anyway?

Hee, ahh, I never knew this whole "I'm a man" thing would cost Flea...

------

A few spectators just stared in disbelief at the strange woman...thing who was kicked in the... you-know-where. While Flea did spend a moment... err... wincing in pain, it wasn't as bad as it could be... but it only left Flea in more confusion.

She shook her fist as the young human BRAT ran off. Never trust humans again.

What the hell is up with these humans anyway...? I -am- a man, deep inside... I mean, why'd he KICK me after I told him the truth, stupid human!

"I AM A MAAANN!" Flea yelled... causing just about every head in the vicinity to turn and look at her... or... him.

Flea blushed, and waved the spectators away. She floated off outside, looking for someone to... trust. She sped to one of the tunnels, ANY one...

------

Next thing Flea noticed, was that this area... was flooded. The whole floor was wet, with a layer of water. Keeping herself clean, she floated above the water, surveying the area...

On second thought...

Sigh. This can't be the Magical Kingdom of the Mystics... if it is, then how can they have sewage problems? This is gross... just gross.

She stared down in disgust as the wet, soaking people below. Such an unpleasant sigh to behold. She sighed and shook her head as she floated along, and sat on a counter above the water level.

Perhaps it was the first time Flea felt a tad... alone. No followers cheering the Great Mystic Trio on, no one there beside her mocking the humans, only strange weird people. The feeling of unfamiliarity was chilling. All Flea did know about was magic and the Kingdom of Guardia.

She realized a bit of her cape had reached into the water... she picked up her cape and stared, horrified at the sight.

"It's DRENCHED!!!"

Without much further ado, she sent a fireball into the water, letting some evaporate away...

Now it felt of that sickly moistness that Flea was all too familiar with...

She flew, irritated, to the "road of gold" that weaved across the sky. The only thing that Flea was interested in was the amount of good looking men and women about... What shall I turn into next...? It might be fun to toy with these people! Still, Flea still wondered if coming here was worth it...

She was surprised that there were no cries of "Freak Mystic!" It didn't keep her from giving some of the non-mystics the evil eye... but it kept her from sending prism beams at them.

-----

I'll probably be out in the first round, but the going was fun anyway. ^^ I think I'll let Flea stick around... too many interesting things to do with such an unusual character. ::rolls eyes:: Maybe I should've sponsored a non-evil character instead ^^;; So much easier!

Along with all forms of strategy, all forms of tolerable writing have flown out the window!

Must... find way... to get rid of votes...

It was certainly a day of strange sights. Racing chickens, giant turtles and now … a robot samurai attacking a flying cat! Boomer was laughing hysterically and waving his sword in the air while Nall dodged and weaved all the time issuing a string of insults. As Setzer drew closer he could see that the samurai’s armour was severely damaged, in particular there were several large dents in the helmet that may explain the erratic behaviour. The gambler tossed the four of hearts at the robot, which in its disoriented state was more than enough to cause it to crumple to the floor. As he moved on he smiled at Nall and waved a cure spell in his direction.

Setzer could feel the weight of responsibility bearing down heavily on his shoulders. He had only owned the Golden Saucer for a few hours but felt responsible for everyone there. He strolled along for a while and took in the scenery. In some places it was like a normal day of business except for the scared look in the eyes of the customers, in others like a war zone. At last his eyes settled on the truth about the situation. High above him past a row of full-length windows Yume stood oblivious to the carnage in the arcade, a pure smile on her face. Neither Dio nor I really control this place, it rises and falls at the whims of another. That was the first time that Setzer considered the possibility that none of them would be able to go home alive.

He decided to return the deed of the Golden Saucer to Dio, it would be useless to him soon anyway. He reached into his coat pocket … where did it go? It was then that he remembered the strange man who had brushed up against him earlier on. For once though, he thought it futile to pursue the matter.

He deals the cards to find the answer,
The sacred geometry of chance.
The hidden law of a probable outcome,
The numbers lead a dance.

Fortune favours the bold.

“This battleground grows boring already” griped Queen Zeal as she stepped off the Speed Square coaster. No experience with firearms had resulted in the gratuitous use of basic magic spells, which had further resulted in widespread power outages that were intermittently plaguing that whole branch of the Gold Saucer, and maybe even their ‘system server’, or whatever it was that she had heard constant shouting about over the loudspeakers.

“What an exercise in futility” she sighed as she stretched her arms skyward and rolling her shoulders. The limbering up felt good after a tense, adrenaline filled day of high-speed chases, strange but enjoyable food, gratuitous explosions, and mischievous mages. Today was merely the first round, and she was rather certain that she would not get the chance to discover the meaning of her powerful dream until the weak had been weeded out. Once that happened, she would have greater influence, and an order would likely build out of the chaos. That was the time to find the answers to her dream, and perhaps even regarding that mighty yet enigmatic young woman, Yume.

No more competitors in this grand contest had crossed her path which annoyed her enough to warrant a reprimanding spell, but as she tended to maintain, there are always a certain amount of fools in any group, and if the size of the whole increases, so does the size of the parts, in order to maintain that ratio. Almost as if a response to her very thoughts, a blue-haired demi-human clad in white ran past, chasing some unlucky participant.

Waving his gleaming blade, he shouted at the top of his lungs “Discipline feels GOOD!”

Why was their people like this seemingly everywhere? Why? Was it so much to ask not to have any do-gooder fanatics pressing their morals onto everyone, passing out tracts door-to-door, and trying to define what integrity was? A wish granted unto a heart of mindless evil would almost surely bring misfortune, but a wish granted unto a heart of mindless good could be just as bad. Zeal palmed a single orb of energy she had formed in her hand. Caressing its warm surface, she made sure to take careful aim. Tossing it into the air, she pointed her finger squarely at the white knight. The ball blazed to its target and hit home, crackling against the knight’s armor and knocking him face first into the ground.

“Ooooh, right in the back! How dishonorable! Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho!” Zeal couldn’t resist a cackle at her blatantly cruel maneuver. “Discipline does indeed feel good. Score one for the school of hard knocks.”

"Wait, Rydia. I'm not through with them yet..."

Edge stood and drank a potion, then grinned. "Nice fire attack, pal, but there wasn't a lot of skill behind it...Flame!"

Setzer managed to avoid most of the fiery attack, but it still did some damage, scorching his clothing the most.

Edge suddenly frowned. What I just said...sounded so familiar... The ninja King grimaced. Of course. Rubicant had said something similar on their first meeting, just before he had met Rydia, Cecil and the rest.

As if to add further injury to insult, a sudden beam of light knocked the four of them to the ground. Edge caught one look at a bizarre four-armed man before he was out.

Once Edge could see clearly, he wearily pushed himself back to his feet. "Rydia?" She lay on the ground, injured.

"Here..." Edge gave her a potion, then helped her to her feet.

Leo and Setzer were also on the ground. After a moment, Edge walked over and helped them both to their feet as well, offering Setzer the last potion.

"No hard feelings, okay? I'm going after that guy..."

Edge made sure Rydia was safe, then ran after Gilgamesh.

After several minutes, he spotted him.

"Hey, ugly! Check this out!" A knife flew from Edge's hand and took Gilgamesh in the chest. Edge quickly projected a smokescreen and ran back to Rydia.

"You okay?"

The roller coaster ride was unlike anything she had ever experienced in her span of nineteen years. Twists and turns in an unpredictable route. Angela fired the laser gun at every target she saw, missing many of them. She'd never used a gun before, let alone even seen one prior to this.

Suddenly, a laser blast flew right past her, nearly scorching her hair. She turned to the left to see a car much like hers farther up on the course. A bit angered, she fired a Holy Ball spell at the car with her empty hand. The spell was on target until the car made a sudden dive downward, sending the ball of white energy colliding into a wall of the Wonder Square. It exploded, knocking several people inside in random directions.

"Oooh! You won't get away from me!" she shouted after the unknown culprit. She fired another spell after the car. This time, her mark was true. The ball of light penetrated its target and engulfed it, sending the car's occupant flying off the car and down onto the Chocobo race-course.

"Ha-ha!" Angela squealed in delight. "Don't mess with me! Yeahhh!"

All of her worries were behind her. For once in her life, Angela was having a great time. It was the childhood she'd never had...

Nall walked into an open space and watched in disbelief as one man had just beaten the crap out of several people, he would not stand for this. he left in front of a white haired individual with a trenchcoat and fended off the attack. he then in a fit of rage picked up the indvidual and tossed him down a nearby by tube. he then unleashed white dragon protect on some of the inhabitants of the area. unfortunatly, in his fit of rage he knocked two others to the ground.

"Here you go."

Gryz remained in Event Square, waiting for Rune to regain conciousness. Event Square was near entirly empty, now that the stunned Gannon had stumbled out into Wonder Square. Gryz sat, feet dangling off the stage, facing the rows of seating.
A man approach Gryz and sat next to him. He was dressed in the dull grays and blues of a piolets uniform. He was dirty, and smelled of smoke. A cigarette hung loosley from his lips, stubble spread about his worn face like ash. A giant spear was slung across the mans back.

"You know what the $%&# is going on here?" the man questioned. He wasn't a contestant.

"Not really." Gryz admitted

"Hell! Those $&#$-ass wackos are fighting everywhere! I saw a giant turtle! A $#&*'ing turtle! What'n %#%$# hell is with that?

"Not sure."

"And you! ##$%! Your %##$'ng blue!"

"Yep." Gryz grinned. "Montavia, were all like this." The man had ignored him.

"And i saw a #$%#'ng clown! A clown! Fighting! What the $%#@ is wrong with that colorful-ass $@#%? You see him?"

"Yep. I threw him at sombody." Gryz bragged. The man laughed a hoarse laugh.

"Your alright. The names Highwind, Cid Highwind." He extended his hand.

"Gryz." The hand was left ignored. The man didn't notice.

"Well, maybe I could give you a ha--.....What the $%# is that?" Apparently somthing had caught the man's eye, because he stood up and aprubtly walked off. Gryz chuckled.

Driscoll stood in the entrance room to the Gold Saucer. Around him, a selection of pipes led between the different areas. From time to time, people jumped from one to another, mostly ignoring the blonde soldier leaning against the wall. Occasionally, he'd spot a figure he recognised.

Well well.. I guess Yume wasn't lying when she said she'd picked the best. Well... here goes nothing.

Driscoll donned another slight grin, as he sauntered over to the nearest pipe. This one said "Chocobo Square" - Driscoll didn't know what a Chocobo was, and he wasn't going to ask. Pulling another grenade from his belt - Only one left... - he pulled the pin and dropped it down the shaft.

Tink, tink, tinktinktinktintintititit-BOOOM!!

That HAD to hurt. Well, if anyone had been caught in it.

Driscoll vaulted into the tube, hair blowing out as the unseen wind dropped him into the 'Chocobo Square'. Sure enough, a pair of figures were left at the bottom - a strange beast, and a man in military uniform.

Driscoll put a sword in that one for good measure.

Never leave an enemy behind you. First rule of warfare.

Hell, he thought to himself, it may not be fair, but neither is war.

And Daig - never had any turnabout. Driscoll isn't evil as such - that's why he's shadow not dark. He's simply a military man with a few strange ideas. As such, he''ll gladly fight the 'enemy'.

You'll notice how he hasn't attacked any civilians though...
