Portal

[Rorolina Frixell]

Upon entering the portal Damon landed in a strange world which felt strangely familiar so he started looking around to see why it was so familiar, it did not take long to find out why for he was in the village of dali and had no idea how he managed to get here and passed out and when he awoke he was in the inn.

My character is AL. Character sheet is here
http://www.finalfantasyforums.net/gaia/portal-12148.html#post189195
----------------------------
As Al walked through the portal, he looked around. he was in an open plain, with mountains at one side, and the shore at the other.
As he turned around, he saw a village, not to big, not to small.
So he started to walk towards it.
As he got closer, he saw that the village had oriental features.
"hey. cool" He thought to himself, as he started to walk towards the town

(Im going towards Wutai, from FFVII)

As he walked. he hears some commotion. He walked towards the sounds, ans heard a little girl scream for help.
As Al got closer, he saw that there was 2 wolves attacking a little girl.
As Al started running, he took a nearby rock (fist sized) and threw it towards the wolves.
*Thud*
Success. it hit one of the wolves in the head. it looked rather unstable, and started going away.
the other one though, turned towards Al. growling, and springing for attack.

"fuck it. why not" Al thought to himself as he sped up, rushing the last wolf.
As the wolf jumped, as did Al. and they collided in the air. leaving damage for both. As they hit the ground. Al said to the girl

"RUN! GO!" And got hit over the face.
Al was hurt, but was not about to loose.
He managed to break one of the front legs of he wolf, and rolled away.
The wolf looked at him. and limped away.

"hah. I wonn*" at that, Al fell down. Exausted, and hurt.
"ah well, atlest I saved the girl..... have a...good......life" he managed to mutter, as he fell unconsious.

Al awoke. He looked around himself.
He was in a room. Lying in a bed. A small girl was there.

"hm. is this the girl I saved? and where the hell am I?.. Hey. They fixed. I mean. cured me." he thought to himself.

What he didnt know, was that when the girl ran, she got help. The villagers carried Al back to the Inn. where the girl, and some of the villagers, nursed Al back to health.
Off course with a guard present. Al was an outsider after all.
Then he fell asleep.

As he awoke the next day. He felt perfectly OK. he didnt know how. but it was great (they used "CURE" on him)
He walked towards the door. but was stopped by a guard.

"Halt. who are you?" he asked with one hand on the handle of the gun, and a ready finger on the trigger.

"I am Al" he started with a norwegian dialect
"I came through a portal from another world, and am now here in yours. Where am I?"
"You are in Wutai.... wait. you can through the portal? thats.." He stopped, and took out a cell ponhe-like thing. and called.

"He is awake.... Yes... No. he doesent seem like an enemy.....No... Yes, he saved Tiffany.... Yes I tell tell him...... Yes.... Bye" the he hung up.

"you are to stay here. as the village elder will come and talk to you." he told Al. with an easier hand on the gun.

"fine." Al replied, and sat down.
----------------------------------

[Danijel]

Notice: In some occasions i will say something in Croatian but i will also post english translation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Danijel was dragged into the portal he appeared in the desert. The heat in the desert was unstandable so he looked for a cover quickly. As he was searching for cover from the heat he sees something far ahead. It was a city (Rabanastre) so he ran towards it. On the way the two creatures appeared in front of him, two wolves.

'K vragu, ili ću se spržiti od vrućine ili ću postati jelo (eng. trans.: Crap, I'll either be toasted or eaten)', says Danijel in Croatian.

When he said that a giant dinosaur eated one of the wolves.

'K vragu (eng. trans.: Crap)', says Danijel again in Croatian.

But dinosaur left, and a wolf that wasn't eaten bited Danijel in the leg.

'Sam si to tražio (eng. trans.: You asked for it)', says Danijel and kicks wolf right in the head, wolf escaped growling in pain.

Danijel runs towards Rabanastre and on the halfway he felt exausted and then he felt on the ground. Just beforehe passed out he saw a skinny bald guy approaching him. Then few minutes later he woke up in a small room.

An old man that was sitting said: 'Ah, I see you woke up young man. If I didn't found you would be a lunch for wolves.'

Danijel stand up and was surprised the old man was speaking english so he start speking it too.

Danijel said: 'Ah, well thank you for saving me. I'm Danijel by the way.'

'And i'm Dalan. Pleasure to meet you Danijel, rest more a bit, you seem to be still tired', says old Dalan.

Danijel sits down and he wanted to tell Dalan what happened but he didn't want to peoplee think he was crazy.

 

[DKnight]

When Chris made it through to the other side, he looked around. He was in some sort of jungle, but the strange thing was that the ground itself was made of metal.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
He checked his pocket for his Swiss army knife, but he had left it at home in his rush.<o></o>
<o> </o>
"Well so much for survival." <o></o>
<o> </o>
He walked around for a little bit in the hopes of finding life. Out of nowhere he was hit by a large object and was sent flying into a tree. It took him a moment to recover, but when he did he was not happy with what he saw.<o></o>
There stood before him a T-rex. It bared its teeth, ready to eat.<o></o>
Without hesitation, he got up and ran. The dinosaur seemed to have been slowed down by its surroundings, but Chris kept running until it was out of site.<o></o>
<o> </o>
“Where the hell am I?! A T-rex in a mechanical forest? Jesus Christ. It’s like I’m in some sort of twilight zone special.”<o></o>
<o> </o>
Chris leaned against a tree to catch his breath, but before he could fully recover the T-rex jumped from behind the trees and pinned him to the ground.<o></o>
<o> </o>
‘Now it’s over. I should have known better than to follow strange lights. Now I’m dead.’<o></o>
<o> </o>
Chris closed his eyes and waited for the end. A moment later the weight was lifted from his chest.<o></o>
<o> </o>
“Am I dead?” he thought out loud.<o></o>
<o> </o>
“No, but you will be if you don’t open your eyes and follow me,” a voice called out.<o></o>
<o> </o>
Chris immediately opened his eyes to find a strange looking creature fighting off the dragon. He got up and turned around to find a girl not that much younger than himself urging him to follow her.<o></o>
<o> </o>
“You shouldn’t come into the training room without a weapon it’s just not safe,” she told him.<o></o>
<o> </o>
“I don’t know how I got here, or even where here is. And what the hell was that, that saved me?”<o></o>
<o> </o>
“That was a member of the Guardian Force. They are summons that work with the SeeD. Here? This is <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:smarttags" /><st1lace w:st="on"><st1laceName w:st="on">Balamb</st1laceName> <st1laceType w:st="on">Garden</st1laceType></st1lace>. It’s a school of sorts that prepares us to go out into the world as mercenaries. And since you don’t know how you got here, I better take you to go see the Headmaster.”<o></o>
<o> </o>
After that Chris remained silent as he followed her out of the large room. This was a lot to take in. He had really gone to another world.<o></o>
<o> </o>

[Danijel]

The Trial

After hearing what old Dalan said, Danijel thought about it for a moment and then he said...

Danijel: 'OK, I accept your challenge, but first point me where are the sewers.'
Old Dalan: 'The entrance to sewers, Garamsythe Waterway, is located in the North end of Lowtown, there you must find Storehouse 5, it will be easy because its open now. There will be two doors and both of them are leading to Garamsythe. You must take the left one. Travel through there and you will find stairs. Climb the stairs and you'll know the rest. but before you go take this key, it unlocks the left door in Storehouse 5.'

Danijel takes the key, nods to old Dalan and leaves old Dalan's place. Then he wents for North End, on the way he saw a lot of people selling items, loot, etc. Danijel arrived in North End and has found Storehouse 5. the gates of the storehouse were opened and Danijel entered the left door in Storehouse 5. Danijel arrived at Garamsythe Waterway, the place was even bigger than an ordinary town. Danijel walked on the path, the place was flooded with sewer water. On the way he saw rats but Danijel thought they don't represent danger. As he was walking he got bitten by something in the leg. he turns around and sees a bat flying, Steeling. Danijel starts to run. On the way he looked back and sees a horde of steelings chasing him. As he was running he ram into sort of flying fish, Ichton. Then the full gang of Ichtons surounded him and start ramming him. Danijel stand up and broke his way through. as he was running he saw another path with stairs leading somewhere. He looked back and sees that horde of Steelings and Ichtons are still chasing him. He just ran toward the stairs and started climbing swiftly. As he was climbing he arrivedin a room with some antiques. Grabs an antique watch and puts it on the hole in the floor from where he entered the room.

 

[AlchemistFox]

FFGuy. just as it is known. I know you stated broadsword. but one of hte reasons I chose Wutai, is tahts the only place in FF7 you can get the katana. thought it is called Murasame in FF7. (yes. there is another story of that.) but ill choose the katana instead.
------------------------------------------

After sitting, waiting, with the guards Watchful eyes. The elder finaly came.
He was in the typical hunchback style, resting most of his weight on a cane.

"I ma hte village elder. welcome to Wutai"
"umm.. thanks.. i guess. what happened?"
"As you arrived you engaged 2 wolves in combat, thus saving Tiffany" as teh elder said this, the girl came from behind the elder.
"hey. youre the girl" Al replied. "Im glad youre ok" he said somewhat releaved
"yes. I am. thanks for saving me" she replied shyly.
"well.. elder, now what?"
"heh. I admire your spirit. I have a question for you"
"right. shoot"

The
elder straightened his back, became somewhat higher. pointed towards Al. asn said

"Al. Do you wish to face the trial of magical lore? To win you must face the five guardians of the tower, to do so is a wutaian honor. To do so, will make you.. Sorceror"
"umm.. what is a sorceror?"

the elder looked upon Al, with a smirk
"The sorceror is one that uses magic, along with the sword. He may imbue the sword itself with magic, thus taking his skills to a higher level of power"

Al thought about it, for like 2 seconds.

"heh" Al started with a smile. "sign me up"

"wery well. I will tell the 5 warriors of the Pagoda to await you."
"heh.. this can be... fun"
"you there" he pointed to the guard take him to the armory, he needs a weapon"
"yes. Sir"
As the elder passed the guard, he whispered "let him choose anything"

"*sigh* this can become somewhat hard. 5 warriors. and this place doesent seem to use guns."

"Al. You are to come with me to aquire your weapon"
"you mean 'A' weapon?"
The guard smiled
"no. I mean YOUR weapon. once you choose one, it will be the basis of your attack power"
"aww. f****. this makes things harder"

then they started walking. out of the Inn. and into an armory.

As they entered the guard turned towards Al
"you may choose a weapon here. but note. you may only choose one."

Al entered. there where weapons all over, on the walls, on the floor, standing up against the wall.

Then he started testing teh weapons, teh Broadswords, where rahter unwieldly for him, and the javelins where hard to balance.
Then he saw something.
"whats this" he said to himself. And walked over to an almost hidden weapon.
He took out a katana, Unsheathed it.

"hey, this is good, not too bad handle, the balance is good, lightweight... Hey. guard Ill choose this"
"but.. but.. thats theMurasame, the Brother of Sephiroth's Masamune. it cant be..." then he remmebered the elder saying that Al was to choose anything.
"is this what the elder meant? did he know" he muttered to himself
"hey. guard.. dude. whats wrong?" Al said as he sheathed the sword.
"nothing. you have choosen your blade. Come. to the Pagoda"
"hmm. what the hell is a Pagoda?" Al thought to himself, as they where walking.

As they got closer. Al saw this Pagoda. it was amazing this 5 story building. it was, as Al put it, "frigging cool"

The guard stopped outside.
"im afraid Im not allowed inside, so I have to stop here. you go inside, for the first contestant"
"shure thing" Al said, somewhat eager to see what was in the room for him.

--------------------------
NOTE. I will use the same name for the bosses, but they will have other appearances, and skills then in FF7.
I will also make the fights short. so it will nto take too ling to write/read them.
--------------------------
There was a dude, sitting, legs crossed.
"Greetings Al. I am Gorkii. your first opponent. I will fight you in melee"
"umm.. Yo."
"I see.. so that was what he was talkign about" Gorkii said to himself
"umm.. what are you talking about. what did who say?"
"I guess you wherent informed" He got up, and walked towards the wall, to get a weapon.
"That weapon you have there, that is the Murasame. it is the brother of the Masamune."
"yes. the guard said something like that as I chose it, he mentionend 'sephorith' or something"
"yes. Sephiroth. not sephorith. Is a strong adversairy, he has planned to take over the world, but that aside. He has a legendary sword. The Masamune. witch is said the only he could use. What you have there, is the Murasame, the brother of that sword. lets see if you are able to use it. shal we" he said as he took out a broad sword.
"well. I guess" Al replied as he unsheathed the sword.

"then we begin" Gorkii said. as he charged towards Al.
"crap, here we go" he thougth to himself as Gorkii got closer.

As Gorkii got close, he had the sword behind him, and struck in an overhead fasion. Al Got the Kantana up, and blocked it, but Gorkii was mroe experienced, so he kicked Al.
Al didnt guess this kick, so he flew backwards, and landed on the floor.
Al got up, and turned the sword, in the icepick grip, and readied himself.
"what stance is that" gorkii asked somwhat confused.
"lets dance" Al replied.
At that, they flew in eatchother. both hitting, kicking, blocking and sutch.
the battle itself lasted for some time.

" I see i misjudged you" Gorkii said, tired
"heh. youre not bad yourself" Al replied, phanting.
"lets finnish this" Gorkii said, as he readied himself.
"fine" Al replied

At that, both started running towards eatchother, swords ready, and screamed.
The scream and sound of the blades claming together, was wasily heard on the outside.
As the blades hit eatchother. Gorkii's sword started to crack.

"well. As you can see" gorkii started "My sword is starting to become useless."
"huh?" Al replied confused, and tired
"I think we can say thi s battle over, you have the superior blade, thus I can not win, since my blade is starting to crumble" He said calmly.
"umm.. I dont get it" Al replied.
"you won." gorkii started "You have passed the first of the Pagoda 5. go to the next story, to be healed, and train about Agillity."
"umm.. shure..." Al said as he walked around Gorkii, and towards the nest story.

As he got there. a man in a whanabe ninja outfit.
"I am Shake. Ill be your next opponent. but first. this person will heal you"
"huh? heal me?"
another man comes
"yes. I will heal you anfter eatch battle, if you succeed." he said as he took out his hand, witch satrted glowing light blue.
"this feeling. its... its good." this was the first time he was healed using CURE in the awake state.

"now" Shake started "lets start"
"shure thing" Al replied, in an energized state.

Shake started. the ran. towards Al, with great speed. and landed a blow in Al's stomack before he could react.

"*cough* WHAT THE HELL."
"yes. as you may know now. I have superior speed"
"no shit, dude" Al started to think.
"ok. he has speed. but to get that speed, he cant be too tough. he has to be light. thus, he cant land any crushing blows"
"Fine." Al said as he got up, "I will take you"
He unsheathes how sword, takes the scabbard in his left hand, and the sword in the right.

Shake attacked again. again in speed. Al tried to hit him. but falied.
Al started staring on Shake. to see if he could see where he was going.
if he could learn his 'habit'

After some hits, blows, and minor cuts. (on al) Shake stopped.
"what. is this all?"
"heh. hardly" Al smiled. "the next attack will decide it"
Al threw the scabbard towards Shake. he dodged it easily, and started running towards Al.
Al then jammed his sword in the floor. and feightened a strike.
as planned, Shake stumpled over the sword.
Upon geting back up, he heard a battle scream, he turned.
Only to see Al, putting all his might, and weight in a final punch.
Though fast, Shake didnt get to react, the punch landed. Sending him flying in the wall. crippled to a degree.

"*cough... chough*. it seems.... I misjudged you" Shake said from the floor.
Al fell to his knees.
"yeah *phant* thanks for that" he smiled.
"I guess. this is your victory then" Shake replied
"thanks" was all that Al could reply.
"yo.. healer dude. fix me please." Al said to the healer.
As the healer came towards Al. his hand again. glowing.
the wounds closed, and Al getting better.
"the next battle is in magic. good luck to you" Shake said where he lied.
"thanks" AL replied, as he took out the sword from the floor, piched up the scabbard, and sheathed the sword, an whent to the 3rd floor.

As he arrived. There was a man in a cloak.
"Greetings. I am Chekhov. A mage. I will test you in battle against magic"
"umm.. how am I supposed to win against magic"
"I will be nice. you can choose one element to fight against. Fire, Ice, Lightning or Gravity. choose one. and ill only use that."
"hmm" Al started thinking, for a while.
After he had pondered for a while.
"I choose lightning"
"very well. brace yourself"

Al unsheathed his sword.
"Ill start this time" And without firther delay. he ran towards Chekhov.
"heh" Chekhov muttered. ah he took out his hand. witch send out a thick bolt of lightning.
Al dodged it.. barely.
"HOLY HELL!." Al shouted out as he rolled out of the way.
Al tried multiple times. but was repelled every time.
"one more time" he thougt. and rushed. as he was to strike. Chekhov send out another bolt, Al dodged it. but it hit the sword. shocking Al greatly.

After a littel time lying there. twisting in pain
"hehehe" he started laughing
"wahts so funny about being shocked?" Chekhov asked.
"you will see" Al replied as he got up, took the sword in his hand.
"you should he rather tired. eyh Chek?" Al said. since the locical thing would be that this had a great mental stress on Chekhov.

Al, once again. rushed towards Chekhov. Chekhov reached out his hand. while muttering.
"Fine."
As Chekhov's hand started glowing. Al crouched, and jammed the sword in the floor. then crouched lower then the sword handle.
As the huge bolt of lightning struck the handle. it got dispersed in the floor. and since Al had rubber soles on his shoes. he was not affected.
Right after, Al took the sword out of the floor, rad towards Chekhov. turned the blade, jumping in the air, Hitting towards Chekhov. At the same time, Chekhov send out a bolt, in need.
As the bacl of Al's sword hits Chekhov in the head. Chekhov's bolt hits Al straight on.

As Chekhov fell to the ground. As did Al.
Chekhov with a mayjor headache, Al, shocked, twisting in pain...
after some time. Al managed to get up, whiled Chekhov remained unconsious.
The healer walked towards Al.
"it seems you are the winner here as well. I will heal you now"
*after the healing*
"umm.. I didnt kill him.. did I?"
"oh no. but it was a good strike. he will awake with a headache from hell itself"
"ah well.. I guess thats his own doing" Al smiled, as he walked towards the stairs.

As he got to the next story. there was a hevy build man, with a big metal ball on a chain.

"I am Staniv. gets get it on with"
"umm. no info?"
"HAH. info.. yea.. right."
As he completed the sentance. the ball came flying towards Al.
Witch he dodged by a hairs with. the ball itself got lodged in the wall.
Staniv Jerked it back.
"hmm." Al got an idea, that could make his rather easy.
"ok. hit me if you can" Al said to the brute, with his bacl against the wooden wall.
"HAHA. I will crush your bones" he said. it was obvious that he was all muscle, and little brain.
As the ball came towards Al. he dodged it. and the ball whent through hte wall..
As Staniv tried to retrieve it. it was lodged too good outside the wall.
Al walked towards him, and out the sword to Staniv's throat.
"So. you whant me to continue?"
"no, no, you win" He said wather weakly.
"heh.. last battle then" Al said as he walked towards the last story.

As he got to the last story, a medium build man stood there.
"I am Godo. fear not. your trial is done. jsut by reatching me, proves you worthy of the name Sorceror."
-----------------------------
FFGuy you tell what happenes now. or what have to be fixed.
hopefully nothing. it took me 2 bloody hours to write this ^^

 

[DKnight]

Chris Stared at the headmaster with a blank look.
'What kind of prophesy is that? He must be messing with me. I'll just play along for now though and see whats up. If he is just stalling me until someone from the psych ward comes then i'll have to fight my way out.'
"What kind of trial is it? I'll complete whatever I have to."

Cid smiled as he made his reply.
"I see you have confidence in yourself. That's good, because if you go into this without it, you will fail. You see there is a cave just south of the garden. In there lies what you will need to fight the sorceress. Your trial will be to retrieve these items. When you do they will be yours."

Chris let out a small laugh," You mean all I have to do is find something in a cave? well that will only time consuming."

"Ah you may think it will be that simple, but you are wrong. You see there are many monster in that cave, but they are not even the strongest that keep guard of what's there.
"We have placed a member of the guardian force there to protect it. It's name is Ifrit. He is a powerful beast of fire. Nothing else in that cave even compares to his strength."

"I think I can handle it. I love a good chalenge."

"Good. Oh, and you will take along the young lady that brought you here. her name is Mina. She will make sure that you won't get yourself killed. She must complete a trial herself so that she may graduate into a member of the SeeD. I wish you both luck."
Cid bowed his head and left the room.

Chris turned to Mina and said, "well we better be off. show the way."

Mina gave him a small nod and led him out of the Garden.
"The cave is over this way," she told them pointing over to some hills near the beach.

They reached the cave in just a few minutes and entered. The heat was extreme as lava flowed all around them. Chris now understood why Cid said this would be difficult but that did not cause him to hesitate. He walked along side Mina as they traveled down the path which was not yet covered by the overflowing magma.

"Don't worry, we are not the only ones that have come here for a trial," Mina reassured him. "There have been others that have succeeded. I just never heard of any type of weapon being hidden here before. It must have either been hidden for all this time, or just added for you."

"I bet they added it. I doubt it has been here all this time and not retrieved before."

To there suprise they were not attacked as they moved further into the cave. Chris could see many strange creatures as they peeked from their hiding places for a look at him.
'hm. they seem to be afraid of us. I thought Cid say they were dangerous. I wonder what's up with that.'


(OoC:I'm not quite done here yet, so i'll finish when I get the chance.And FFGuy, i'll just PM you about what I think the weapon should be.)

 

[Rorolina Frixell]

after accepting the trial Damon was taken to a mill

Mayor: There are two scimitars inside the mill at the very top, you need to navigate your way there

Damon: er....okay I guess

Damon started by climbing the ladders to the top but was barred by some propellor blades, Damon looked for a way around them and found it, it was a ring like shape attatched to the sides of the mill.

Damon; heh.... easier than I thought

Damon jumped for the ring and swung over to the next and the next til he was met by another propellor blade

Damon: darn propellor blades... oh well

Damon looked around for anything to get him passed this obstacle and saw only one way to go... the actual blades so Damon took a step and was swung around to the other end and saw the blades just a few feet above his head embedded in the roof so Damon grabbed some nearby wood and balanced it so he could reach the blades and when he did his wooden structure collapsed and Damon started falling to the ground but was stopped in mid air

Crowd of villagers: FLOAT!

Damon: what the hell?

Mayor: you should be less reckless but a win is a win and the treasured blades are yours, by the way their names are zendo and kippal

Zendo was a pulsing red colour and had a straight blade much like its twin kippal, both almost identical apart from the symbol the bore on their scabbards

Mayor: and since you are now a ninjamage you will need new garments!

Three women presented him with some light leg and chest armour both in black, a red cotton gown with a cape

Trial of wutai

Elder: Al, I congratulate you on your victories and I present you with your garments, cotton robes and leg armour and a mithril helm, may they bear you well

Trial of Rabanastre

Dalan: you did well and endured your wounds were many gave in and I present you with a drainer blade, it absorbs the skills of enemies and allows you to use them and here is some armour

Dalan presents Danijel with some iron armour and a helm

Dalan: I swiped em off some imperials hehe I am younger than I look!

 

[AlchemistFox]

Al stood there. somewhat confused

"umm. what?"
"I am Godo. fear not. your trial is done. jsut by reatching me, proves you worthy of the name Sorceror."
"yeah. I gotthat psrt. but arent you the 5th member of the pagida?"
"yes. I am the 5th member of the PAGODA.. p a g O d a."
"heh.. right. im not good with names" Al smiled.

Godo rised. in a proudlike stance.
"Al, I congratulate you on your victories and I present you with your garments, cotton robes and leg amour and a mithril helm, may they bear you well"
"umm.. huh? why the robe? and I'm not one for helmets"
"the robe hightenes your magical power, and the helmet is regular armor. it is off cource optional. I also present you with this Guntlet"
"umm.. one bracelet. how is that going to help me?" Al asked as some random persons where taking on the robe."
"It is to hold your materia. my good Al'umar"
"materia?? whats... wait... Al'umar?"
"yes"
"whats that for?"
"we cant write you in wutaian history with a 2 letter name. can we now?" Godo smiled
"umm.. riiiight. I guess Im Al'umar now.. *sigh* now. this materia thing"
"yes." Godo started as the 'dressers' left.
"here" he said as he gave Al 2 small green orbs.
"umm.. whats these marbles for?" Al asked as he took on the gauntlet on his right arm.
He was supprised how light it was. and it felt... right..
"This is materia. these small orbs contain various spells. as you learn to use them, they will grow, and become more powerfull.. put the, in the gauntlet"
"umm. o..k.." Al said unshure as he put teh orbs in the 'slots'
"whoa" al said supprised "this feels... good"
"yes. we all get that feeling the first time we equip materia.. now.. let me teatch you how to use it"


In some hours, Godo taught Al now to cast spells, and to imbue the sword itself with magic.
he thought him about the 2 elements that he had received.
How Fire, burns the very soul, when an imbued sword hits its victim.
How Lightning can rupture the foundations of mind and body.


"now. you are able to use magic, as the sorceror you are. I have one question."
"shure" al answered as he looked upon the 2 gleeming green orbs
"Why did you choose that sword?" he asked with a smirk
"idunno. it just seemed like.. a familliar feeling. like I have had it for ages."
"hmm.. I thought so"
"what?" Al asked in a confused state. "wahts so special about that?"
"well. you might know. that sword is the brot*"
"brother of soem bad dudes sword.. what about it? Al completed Godos sentance, and turned it into a question.
"yes. taht sword you have there. it is the Murasame, the Brother of Sephiroth's Masamune"
"umm.. what about it?"
"The masamune, the murasame. It is said that there inly exist one person for eatch sword. no one can wield it. well. they can wield it. but they can not harness its power.. but you. The elder must have seen it. You can use it. that means taht Murasame is a part of your very soul. there is something that binds you to that sword. keep it close. and it, in return, will lend you its power."
"so.. this is a special sword?"
"yes. and you are apparently the only one that can wield it porperly"
"cool" Al replied.
Godo turned towards Al.

"Now. Al'umar. Go now. make your own destiny. Save, or Destroy. It all lies ahead of you."
"umm. im sortaconfused"
"Yes. that is given. but I dont know the answers. so you must find it out yourself."
"yeah. I guessed" Al said, with the dark red robe, Leg armor, and the new gauntlet. walking towards the doorway to the stairs.

"may you have good fortune"
"thanks dude. same to ya"

at taht. Al. no. Al'umar left for towards this. new world. to see if he could find out more.

 

[Danijel]

Surprised how old Dalan appeared in the antique room he accepted Drainer Blade and Iron body equipment. Danijel tried it but were too big for him (the armor and helm).

Danijel: 'Is this a joke, this armor is too big for me!'
Old Dalan: 'This armour is not for you too wear, its for money.'
Danijel: 'Money?'
Old Dalan: 'What you hit your head before I found you? Sell the armour in armor shop and buy yourself something better.'

Danijel was surprised about the armour selling and buying, in what kinda world did he appeared. Danijel then notices three holes in the blade and the one was filled with a glowy ball.

Danijel: 'Whats this?'
Old Dalan: I thought to myself when I came across that blade and the, so called, materia.'
Danijel: 'Materia?'
Old Dalan: 'Yes, materia is a magical ball that gives you certain powers, and the sword you're wielding drains the powers from materia making the sword to took another shape.'
Danijel: 'Nice!'
Old Dalan: 'And the materia on it has powers to learn the wielder special attacks from certain monsters.'
Danijel: 'Whoa, its getting better and better.'
Old Dalan: 'Now to give you the last test...'

Dalan hits his pink rabbit with finger few times, the rabbit stood up and Danijel started to glow. second later he appeared in a big room with two pools of sewer water. Soon the temperature of the room grew up quickly and some kind of fireball appeared in the room. it hit the ground and the fireball turned into a fiery horse.

Danijel: 'Koji... (eng. trans.: What a...)!'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fiery horse is the boss from FF12, of course, Firemane.

 

[Rorolina Frixell]

Upon recieving his garments he bid farewell to the village and journeyed on and after climbing up a cliff he saw a castle filled with airships and after thinking an airship to be a good way to transport he entered the castle and spoke to two of the guards standing near the entrance about aquiring an airship

Damon: hey, I was wondering how I could get an airship?

Guards: sorry sir but only royal family members, nobles. the imperial army and adventurers may board the airship

seeing as how he would hardly get anywhere with the other ideas he tried to find a pub in hopes of finding an adventurer

Damon: bartender do you know where I may find an adventurer?

Bartender: certainly young sir, there is barthemius and drek over in the corner, apparently they are collecting crew in order to sail to the new lands where there is a very military angle on education.... what was it called again? ah the name escapes me but the place they are hoping to find is a place called galbadia.

upon aquiring this information he speaks with barthemius and drek

Damon: excuse me, but are you still looking for crew for your ship?

Barthemius and drek: why yes! just sign up here and your in!

eying the paper he noticed many people had signed up and when he had barthemius spoke again

Barthemius: now you are in meet the crew in the shipyards, drek will show you the way there

Drek: don't worry sir, I know this place like the back of my hand

after navigating the streets they arrived at the shipyards

Drek: here is the place, now I must get back to my superior

Damon: uh.... hi guys!

Crew: hey there! you on this ride too?

Damon: yeah, hopefully we will get to this galbadia

Crew: who told you that!?

Damon: a bartender

Crew: ah, good source of info is a pub, you should do well here eh?

Damon: sure will!

Barthemius and Drek: okay men it is time to board so no more lip waggling and get moving!

Damon and Crew: aye aye sir!

 

[AlchemistFox]

As Al left the pagoda, the elder greeted him
"I see you completed the trial"
"huh... yeah.. you knew that"
"yes. I had a hunch"
"thougth so. so.. now what?"
"now you do as you wish"
"umm..."
"heh. I guessed you'd be confused. here" the elder hands Al a map.
"umm.. thanks" Al replied as he got the map.
"so, now... you go?"
"yes. I whant to explore this world."
"as you wish. here you go" the alder hands Al a pouch with 500 gil.
"umm.. what is this?"
"that is Gil. the currency of our world."
"oh.. thanks"

the elder showed Al where he was on the map, and Al left for the big world.

 

[Danijel]

Danijel drags his blade but then Firemane dissapeared. Danijel was looking all around the place. Then he felt heavy heat behind and Danijel just swing his sword behind him. He hitted Firemane, but then Firemane hit Danijel hard that he hitted wall.

Danijel: 'Zar nemožemo biti prijatelji (eng. trans.: Can't we just be friends)?'

Just as Danjel looked where Firemane was he sees a jet of fire coming his way. Danijel surprised rolls to the right evading fire spell. Danijel then charges at Firemane and hits him, but Firemane casts another jet of Fire spell knocking off Danijel to the distance. Danijel stands up coughing and then he notices fire blazes all around the field (Bushfire).

Danijel: 'Ovo ne izgleda dobro (eng. trans.: This doesn't looking good).'

Then all fire blazes exploded damaging Danijel very hard. After that Danijel was lying on the floor and wasn't able to stand up. Danijel thought to himself that it is the end to him, while then Firemane approaches him. But then Danijel started to feel strange, he flashed blindingly all over the room, Firemane stepped backwards cause of the flash. then Danijel found himself standing and glowing (Trance mode). Firemane teleported right in front of him and hit him. Danijel just moved few inches backwards.

Danijel: 'Vrijeme je da završimo ovo (eng. trans.: Time to end this)!'

Danijel then felt surge of anger and started to slash Firemane 8 times dealing heavy damage to him (Danijel's trance skill Release Anger).
After the attack Firemane's legs started to shake and he turned back to fireball and left the place. danijel then turned back to his normal form.
But it wasn't over. The materia on Danijel's blade started to shine, then Firemane's attack poped to his mind and he tryed out something. He yells out...

Danijel: 'Bushfire!'

The fireblazes covered the area and then they exploded. Danijel was surprised with his new ability. Then he climbes the stairs and exited the Garamsythe Waterway. He appeared in Lowtown where in Storehouse 5 where right doors to garamsythe are.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Danijel learned new Blue Magic spell: Bushfire.

 

[DKnight]

Chris kept his eyes on the creature as he walked through the cave along side Mina.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
"Oh!" Mina had stopped so suddenly it threw chris off balance. He looked forward to see what had gotten that reaction. <o></o>
<o></o>
Just about fifty feet in front of them a sword lay against a stone inside a large chamber. To be more exact, it was a saber. The blade was deep red that shined in the magma filled room, and the hand guard was black; he could see two small stones glowing from the hand guard.<o></o>
<o></o>
Chris and Mina took only a few steps into the chamber when a voice called out to them.<o></o>
<o></o>
"I've been watching you. It's interesting how the monsters here fear you, yet they would attack any other intruder. They must not see you as a threat." The voice let out a horrible laugh.<o></o>
<o></o>
"Who are you? And why have you been watching us?" Chris called out.<o></o>
<o></o>
He was immediately answered as a figure dropped from above and landed in between himself and the saber. It was the Creature that had saved him in the training center. It's claws were the size of Chris's head, and it's mane was red like fire.<o></o>
<o></o>
"I am Ifrit, the guardian of these caves. I have been told that you seek the power of the Flame Saber. Your trial is to retrieve it, so now prove that you are worthy of its power."<o></o>
<o></o>
At that moment a ball of fire flew from Ifrits hand and came straight for Chris. He had now time to duck or jump out of the way. He threw his arms up to block his face. The fireball hit him dead on and sent him flying out of the chamber. <o></o>
<o></o>
“God damn that hurt!”
<o></o>
A moment later he heard a scream, and Mina lay next to him unconscious. Chris got up and checked to make sure she was ok. She was still breathing, but she had burns on her arms and face. He then looked over himself. His burns were minor, but all that remained of the sleeves of his jacket black dust.
<o></o>
“Damn it! That was my favorite jacket!”
Chris got up and headed back into the room where Ifrit stood waiting.
<o></o>
“So I see you’re not finished yet,” Ifrit called out. “That is good. It shows you are either brave or foolish. We will see which.”

Ifrit immediately shot another fireball at Chris, but this time he was ready. Chris quickly jumped out of the way.
<o></o>
“I’m much tougher than I look. You just caught me by surprise the first time. It won’t happen again.”
Chris began to charge the beast. Ifrit was ready for such an attack and began to send fireball after fireball at Chris. Chris ducked and dodged past each one. He clenched his fist as he got closer and closer the swords guardian. When he reached Ifrit, he swung with all of his might and connected with Ifrit’s gut.
<o></o>
“HAHAHA.” That terrible laugh again; it made Chris’s skin crawl. “You can’t hurt me with just your fists. I am much too strong for that.”
<o></o>
Ifrit swung his arm and hit Chris across the room.
<o></o>
‘How the hell am I supposed to beat him without a weapon?’
<o></o>
Chris around the chamber for something that he could use to beat the beast that stood before him. It was bare except for the sword that lay at the center of the room.
<o></o>
‘I need to beat this guy to earn that sword, but I can’t see how without another weapon of my own.’ Chris thought for a moment, then, ‘ah, screw it, I need a weapon to beat him. If that’s the only one present then I’ll take it before my trial is done.’
<o></o>
He rushed Ifrit again, dodging all the fire balls that came this way. The only difference this time was that instead of attacking Ifrit, he just slid through the creature’s legs. When he got to the other side he jumped up and reached for the handle. His fingers closed tightly around its handle. It felt comfortable in his hand, like it was always meant to be there with him.
<o></o>
Chris Turned around the second he had the saber in hand, half expecting a fireball to come his way, but what he did see surprised him. Ifrit stood there, completely still. His expressions were calm and he no longer laughed that horrible laugh.
<o></o>
“You have passed your trial human.”
<o></o>
“I don’t understand. I thought that I had to defeat you to earn it.”
<o></o>
“No, you had to prove yourself worthy of using it. You see, if this sword did not find its wielder worthy, it would burn that persons hand clean off. The sword sensed your courage in fighting me. It found you worthy. Now it is time for me to teach you to use it. Do you see those two stones on the guard?”
<o></o>
Chris looked down at his new weapon and nodded.
<o></o>
“Those are what we call materia,” Ifrit continued. “They will be your source of magic. One will allow you to heal injuries, while the other will allow you to throw fire much like I do. Now you must use your new magic to help your friend. I believe she was injured when I attacked her.”
<o></o>
Chris quickly ran over to Mina’s side. He looked down at the stones on the saber. He didn’t know how they worked. He touched one, and was immediately filled with an understanding of how to heal her. He reach out his hand and after a flash of light, her burns vanished. She began to stir. She opened her eyes and looked up at Chris.
<o></o>
“I did it Mina. I completed my trial.”
<o></o>
“That’s wonderful, but I have failed mine. I was unable to prove myself in combat.”
<o></o>
“That’s ok. You are still young. You have time to become stronger. I just have a favor for you now. Could you go back to the garden and tell the headmaster that I have completed the trial, and will be staying with Ifrit for a short while to learn how to use my new weapons?”
<o></o>
“I will do.”
<o></o>
Mina got up and ran out of the cave toward Balamb.
<o></o>
“So, are you ready to begin?” Ifrit called from the chamber.
<o></o>
“Yes.”

 

[Rorolina Frixell]

Upon boarding the airship Damon began his task which was lookout so he climbed to the highest point of the airship, shortly after everyone had assembled they casted off

Barthemius: all crew do your jobs! we are sailing for the new world!

Crew: AYE!

after many long journeys they were in sight of galbadia when a barrier appeared and before the crew could stop they rammed through the barrier but were unaffected and arrived at galbadia in one piece and Damon, instead of following the crew to the pub headed straight for the garden

Garden Guard #1: state your business!

Damon: well, I am one of a group of explorers and I would like to look around your garden if that is possible?

Garden Guard #1: argh! fetch the headmaster!

Garden Guard #2: Yes sir!

Damon: er... why do you need the headmaster?

Garden Guard #1: we rarely have people visiting just to browse so the headmaster will need to see you

Garden Guard #2: I present the galbadian headmaster!

Damon: whoa! that was quick!

Headmaster: Ah, he is not one of them! you will give him mid level access in the garden, but keep a close eye on him

Garden Guards 1 and 2: yes sir!

upon gaining approval Damon entered the garden

 

[Danijel]

As Danijel exited Storehouse 5, a boy was waiting in front. The boy said.

Boy: 'You must be Danijel, old Dalan sent me to escort you to town.'
Danijel: 'OK, escort me.'
Boy: 'By the way, my name is Kytes.'
Danijel: 'And you know my name.'

Danijel followed Kytes to stairs. They both climbed up and they both entered thwe royal city of Rabanastre.Danijel finally could breath some fresh air since he was roaming in lowtown and Garamsythe.

Danijel: 'Ah, finally some fresh air. By the way, what is this town called?'
Kytes: 'Everyone knows about this town, its Rabanastre. You hit your head somewhere?'

Danijel wanted to say where he was from, but he remembered he was in another world. So he said...

Danijel: 'Nah, don't mind what I'm saying, just tell me where armour shop is to sell this stuff that Dalan gave me.'
Kytes: 'Just go down the street, you'll se a sign of armour. Thats where armour shop is. I gotta go, I remember I had to do something for Migelo, but I can't remember what.'
Danijel: 'OK, see ya' , as Kytes left, 'and they think I hit my head.'

Danijel continued down the street, he saw many shops: Magick shop, Tehnick shop, Weapon shop and finally Armour shop. Danijel entered. As he entered he sees a pig-like creature, seeq, at the counter. He walks toward him and shows him iron armors.

Shopclerk seeq: 'Old man told me that you will come to exchange this for better armour. Luckily I have one for you.'

Shopclerk dragged out leather armour, Danijel tryed it.

Shopclerk seeq: 'This armour is very light, but it also protects you. Heres some gil, since you're new here.'
Danijel: 'Thanks and bye.'

Danijel exited the armor shop. And went to find Inn so he can rest. Few minutes later he found a place called Sandsea. He entered it. He saw the place was both tavern and inn. He approached the counter and asked the tavern boss...

Danijel: 'Hello, I want to stay for a night.'
Tavern boss: 'Thats 20 gil.'

Danijel was confused cause he didn't know how much 20 gil is. So he just dragged out 20 coins and gave it to tavern boss. Tavern boss took a key under the counter and threw it to Danijel. Danijel then climbed upstairs, found his room, opened it, and crash on the bed.
During the night he hears an explosion. He ran out of the Sandsea and went where the explosion was. He appeared in front of a palace and sees that some people fight the imperials. Then three imperials turned towards Danijel and one of them said.

Imperial: 'Theres one more of them, attack!'
Danijel: 'O-oh!'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I will continue this after the next post.

 

[AlchemistFox]

Al looked at the map. there where a hell of a lot of places to go.

"hmm. .this looks like a good place" he looked at the map, and choose a large looking city. thinking that a city of that size, had to have some info.

"hmm. lets see. im here.. wutai. and to get to 'Esthar' I need to take a ship"
he thought tat esthar was big enough to atleast have some info, so he whent towards the shore, hoping to find a boat.

As he got closer, 2 wolves came towards him.

"heh. I guess I get to test my powers" he said to himself.


he drew his sword. and a quick thoguht, and the blade flamed up.

"lets do this" Al said as he charged the wolves.
as one of the wolves jumped towards him. Al send his sword through its head. as the sword slided easily through it, the flames did not.
All that remained of the wolf, was ashes.

"heh. les try the other one" as he completed the sentance. The sword began to spark. as teh tines, long and short, where connecting to all things around him. Lucily that since he is the one controlling this, he did not get hurt by it.

as the other wolf where somewhat hesitant, Al charged it. as did it.
As the sword connected, it was like a huge bolt of lightning hit the wolf.
The wolf was more or less fried. as it lied there. the smoke was rising, and small tines, where sending form the corpse, into the ground.

"so. this thing works rather well" he thought to himself, asn he sheathed the sword, and continued towards the shore.
------------------------------------
Question.. how the hell do we get from one FF to the next?
portals? is it off to the right/left?? so we can take boats and sutch

 

[Danijel]

As all three of imperials started to run towards Danijel. Danijel quickly draws his blade ready to battle. One of the imperials striked first but Danijel defend himself with his blade and repels the imperial backwards. Another one tries to stab Danijel with spear, but he evades it, grabs the spear and and slashes imperial in the chest and then throws the spear at third charging imperial. Then the imperial that Danijel repeled tryed to slash him again, but Danijel stabbed him quickly.

Danijel: 'So much for the guards. But why are they attacking me?'

Then a woman that was probably leading the attacking group said...

Woman: 'Come on members of Resistance, Empire must fall.'

The Resistance members entered the palace. danijel wanted to went after them but behind more imperials came drawing out they're swords and spears. Danijel was surrounded.

Danijel: 'Well lets test my new magic on living. BUSHFIRE!!!'

The fire blazes surrounded the area, the temperature was growing and Imperials we're confused. then the blazes exploded. When the fire cleared up, Danijel saw all imperials lying lifeless. Danijel entered the palace. He appeared in the long hall and saw Resistance climbing up the stairs. then he saw a heavy armored man with starnge helmet, with some imperials.

Heavy-armored man: 'Follow them you rats, don't let them escape.'

The imperials went upstairs. Then the heavy-armored man turned to Danijel and drew his two blades.

Heavy-armored man: 'Looks like Resistance left one of the soldiers, but aren't you too young too battle.'

Danijel: (draws his blade)'I'm not with them, I just came to see what happened.'

Heavy-armored man: 'You thought I'll believe that after you killed all those soldiers all by yourself.' (the man laughs) 'What is your name boy?'

Danijel: 'My name is Danijel and those soldiers striked first, so I had to defend myself.'

Heavy-armored man: 'Heh, you are very skilled boy. but now face my wrath, the wrath of judge magister Zaargabath.'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Although you don't fight ZaargabathI putted him as my first judge battle
And as the last post, I'll post the next post after someone else's post.

 

[Rorolina Frixell]

ooc @ red fox: you can cross into another ff by airship, boat or by some path or form of transport which allows you to cross the sea and for future reference keep these questions to the sign up and discussion thread

Damon entered the garden and immediately realised that it was bigger than he imagined on the inside and he immediately headedright and found a training court and thought this a great opportunity to test out his weapons

Damon: can someone spar with me so I can get used to these swords?

Galbadian Youth: sure thing

Damon drew Zendo and Kippal and when the youth had drawn his spear they charged at one another and Damon due to no pre weapon and combat experience was easily knocked back by the youth's powerful swings and thrusts and almost dropped his swords but they were almost magnetically bound to him.

Damon:... WHA- what is happening to me?

Damon starts glowing red and fiery

Damon: WARBLAZE!

all small objects surrounding Damon suddenly start floating and become alit with flame and they are thrown into the youth

Damon then noticed his swords were also aflame and he also felt stronger and faster

Freinds of youth: hey! that is not fair! why not try us!

Damon started raising his blades but they seemed to will their own actions and Damon released them and they charged through the youths and left them unconcious, then Damon suddenly grew wings and flew to a location he had never been to before, he did not even wish to fly but he had no choice.
