Final Fantasy IX: The Fall of Mages RP

OOC: Yep we will slow down :D I'm going to sleep soon for example. Anyway, I and Shaun can have our fight, as it doesn't effect anyone. And we only progress second after second. But yeh, posting more than once in the darkrul fight before everyone have posted would be a tad bit too much.

--------------------------------------------------------------
Richard- The true master of sword art!
--------------------------------------------------------------

Even if Richard was moving his sword slowly, his excellence and experience in sword art was that huge, that he knew exactly where to positing his sword to block three hits of his enemy, while moving the sword location only once.

'' The cherry blossom is an outdated technique ... no-one uses it nowadays! Even if you have 4 hands, I can see trough the formula and block every single hit'' Richard shouted to his enemy when the frenzy was over. Meanwhile, Richard's face got filled with excitement and pleasure. It almost felt like he was a child who just got a birthday present.

'' Omnislash!'' Richard shouted and started glowing. At high speed, unmatched by almost anything. Richard appeared here and there, slashing at high speed and every time aiming aiming for strategic positions of his enemy. And then, he ended the combo with an explosive slash.

-------------------------------
Mogster- Lesson no.1
-------------------------------

Meanwhile Master Mogster was talking to his student:

'' Richard hates fighting against gunners, beasts, magic users and low art users. But he absolutely loves fighting against swordmanship users ... and also he is strongest against them.'' Mogster said and smiled to his student :)

OOC: Don't worry Galm, I'm not leaving anyone behind :) If anyone starts to be left behind, I stop things ;)

While Dori was investigating his grandfathers diary, he then noticed how something huge and black came out of Darkrul, and the second it was gone. then someone in white got hit by a blast." Fuck... what did just happened?" and he then noticed how swarm of little black magician were summoned.

" I gotta hurry...There must be something that i can use..." he nervously searched page by page. when he arrived to the last pages, he noticed that there were several holes in one page. that same goes to all the pages at the end of the book. He then saw small rocks at the end of the book, that were marked. " RUNES!?" he shouted from confusion and same time was happy.

He quickly took them out, translated them and put some of them together and said loudly" Hagalaz Ehwaz Ansuz Laguz" His body regain his strength, all the pain and wounds disappeared." Yes...they still have little magic left! Now I need something to power up my axe again...hmmm. lets see...Raido Ansuz Gebo Ehwaz" and after telling those out loud his axe started to transfer again into hammer, but this time it was glowing in dark blue light. " YESS.. I´m back in busines" he told it in happy, but calm voice. Also he noticed a note that was there. There was only on thing "earthquake".

In the minute he wanted to start to charge again he felt how something boosted him up even more. "What the hell..." he was thinking, and saw how little dark aura was surrounding him. Even the hammers color changes into dark blue to even darker, it was as dark as the deep sea, with little blue color on hit.

"AAAHHHAAAAHH..." he yelled and was running towards Darkruls and his minions. "EVERYONE...JUMP AS HIGH AS YOU CAN" he then yelled and little far from the army he smashed his hammer to the ground and yelled "EARTHQUAKE". The darkest blue glow went into the ground and scattered around and then came out as tentacles and were grabbing anything the could, and then went back to the ground.

OOC: If you want to know what those runes mean, then read the capital letters, there you can understand better of the effects

Gilgamesh parried most of the blows of the Omnislash, but the final blow struck true, staggering him backwards and down to one knee...

"I cant be beaten, not like this...to be beat by an old man like yourself....OK I'm Lying...HASTE, REGEN, SHELL, SAFE, JUMP!!!"
Gilgamesh quickly cast several different spells on himself to bolster himself in the combat and lept up into the air and came crashing down towards Richard with all four swords aimed downwards...as quickly as he did it, he Jumped again and came crashing down a 2nd time...

[ooc: like Gilgamesh was ever going to play fair :P]
 
OOC: Damn you :D Epic joke!

------------------------------------------------------
Richard - The art of a dragoon!
------------------------------------------------------

The sudden power up of his enemy surprised Richard a bit, but in the same time it made him happy. The first jump was easy to be dodged, but the second came after so quickly, that he barely managed to avoid his death. One of the swords cut his chest, making a wound as deep as few centimeters. Blood burst out from it and covered a part of Gilgamesh armor.

'' Dragoon style eh ...'' Richard muttered and countered it with his jump. But instead of 2 in a row, Richard was capable of making three at same high speed and with the same amount of raw strength.

'' What do you think ... if we fight changing styles after every attack and counter attack?'' Richard said and readied himself.

'' For example, this was dragoons style. Now let's try samurai!'' Richard shouted and flashed behind his enemy.

'' Four souls of a samurai!'' That was one of the favorite techniques of Richard, and also it was one of the deadliest. 3 copies of Richard appeared and started swinging their katanas towards the enemy at high speed for a whole 3 seconds. And during the last second, Richard sent out an air wave sharp enough to cut trough everything.

'' Your turn!'' He looked at his enemy to see if his attacks had any effect on him.

OOC: Well, I'm going to get some sleep :)

((OOC: Especially for people like me! To suddenly throw 2 pages between my last post and this latest one.... Oh wow. Anyway, time for Luna's Trance mode too- just to let her know that she can utilize her full potential ))

"My kind!?" She muttered in response, her eyes glowing a blood red. The thoughts of her parents filled her mind as he mentioned those two words. Truth be told, she doesn't know much about her kind, except that those words called the memories with her parents, and triggered a Trance Mode.

A crimson aura began emanating from Luna's body as she entered into this powerful mode. " ..No matter, your not the only one who can conjure entities to fight for you..."Come forth my Magus Servants...Your Master calls you!!" Darkrul said to her, waving his hands to call forth a summoning circle which promptly called to his side his so-called 'Magus Servants'.

With a haunting wail, the new enemies wasted no time in channeling their energies into deadly spells of fire and ice against the girl. Closing her eyes, she summoned the remaining weapons she could ever summon. They materialized beside her, except enveloped in the same red aura as she had. Strangely, she felt no mental strain on herself.

Furthermore, she felt rather cold too. "Tsk. Would bathing myself in your blood make me warmer?" She asked rhetorically. As soon as she said that, the Magus Servants unleashed their spells at the girl. It came from all four sides, leaving Luna no chance of escape.

The cold of the Blizzard spell and the heat of the Fire spell negated each other, allowing the area she was in to remain at the same temperature. Nevertheless, she wasn't going to back down from this insignificant strike. Her experience as an assassin had taught her more than just deflecting physical attacks.

"Let me show you a rare phenomenon. The Lunar Eclipse. Blood Moon!" She roared, her ten weapons immediately circling around her defensively at top speed. The spells then hit this barrier of weapons, breaking sideways to negate the other spells.

The impact ended relatively quickly. Luna smiled coldly," Heh. Pathetic. Please make me break a sweat fighting you, eh?"

She leaped off from where she stood, seemingly vanished to the naked eye. The Magus Servants proceeded on to begin casting yet another wave of spells, their hands glowing yellow at it rose in the symbolical manner of spell casters.

However, an agile Luna appeared beside one Servant. "Die." She hissed. The ten weapons pierced into the unlucky entity. "And you too... and you... you too."

As she said these, the ten weapons split up to attack the Magus Servants separately, killing most of them in one blow.

Gilgamesh grinned that peered just underneath his Samurai mask, as he had completely deflected the blows..

"I take it your suffering from a bit of Senility old man, ok...I'll take my turn now Renzouke!!" Gilgamesh lept high and then started to unleash waves of cutting energy from each of his swords, several times before vanishing and re-appearing behind "Daisy Cutter!" He muttered, launching forwards with all 4 swords slashing diaganally and once again jumping high and crashing down in a spiraling motion.
 
Augustina-Back at the Academy

Darkrul launched a Void Spark spell at her, hoping to remove her from the fight. Little did he know however, that the spell was overloaded and can be redirected back. Using whatever energy and focus she had, she fired a lightning spell that the VS absorbed, in an attempt to overload it. If she can overload it, the attack could be very well damage Darkrul, opening him up for another attack.
 
Problems with the Rift:

Although the rift was weakening as Alexis and Alexandros drained it, they quickly realised it was also the only way for those fighting Darkrul to get back, only Guardian Forces or those that could commune directly with them could actually shift between realms and closing it now would trap those fighting within, unable to return to Alexandria..

"We have to tell them" Alexis said to her sister whom was concentrating hard on keeping the rift stable, but still open

"Agreed, can you communicate with father and ask him to warn them what will happen if they dont get out soon?, this rift is really draining it out of us and we will have to close it soon" Alexandros replied as her body convulsed as she struggled to hold the rift open

"Father...could you warn the others...we can close the rift now, but doing so would trap them so were holding it open for them to get out!" Alexis telepathacally spoke with her father about what was going on at there side of the rift..

"Right away" he replied and began to speak to the party that were fighting Darkrul telepathically...

"This is Alexander, we are having issues with the rift...if we close it now, you will be trapped so were trying to hold it as long as we can, If you cannot defeat Darkrul...you will have to return"

[OOC: You have plenty of time to get out just yet before the rift closes, if your not engaged in direct combat with Darkrul, make your exit when you feel ready, dont worry, this is definatley Darkrul's final stand as someone is going to stay behind to fight him anyway :P]

Richard- The power of a Black!
--------------------------------------------------------

Richard started to laugh the moment his enemy released a renzouke. It was one of the most excellent and powerful attacks of a samurai, yet it was the most popular. That why Richard was able to block every single cut, besides one.

'' Darn ...'' He shouted as one of the four blades moved through his armor and ripped flesh away from his chest. Blood burst out the very moment and Richard fell to his knee.

'' Damn it .... '' The legendary swordman whispered and gave a glance to his enemy.

'' Daisy Cutter eh ...''

'' Daisy twister!'' Richard shouted as a counter and instead of dodging his enemy attack, jumped directly towards it with his sword and himself cycling like a typhoon. A powerful clash of swords. Richard flew more than 5 meters away from his enemy and fell to the ground. A newly formed scar was covering his face and blood was slowly dropping out from it.

'' Guess I underestimated your samurai techniques ... '' He said and stood up. He was shaking and the blood loss was getting bigger and bigger with every wasted moment.

'' Black Fang!'' Richard shouted and released a technique only known by the members of Black family. Dark energies flew out from the sword and moved directly towards his enemy. But a second before landing the hit, those waves appeared from every possible direction, making it impossible to escape with a dash. For a flash, there wasn't enough time.

'' Gotcha ...'' Richard muttered and started laughing.

'' Vivius ... I'm done with him.'' Richard said and turned his back to the enemy. The same moment he to the ground.

'' Damn ... I'm exhausted...'' Richard whispered and somehow moved himself towards a chair. He took a seat and gave a glance to his enemy.

'' Totally drained empty of blood and energy yet you are still alive... what a man you are, Richard Black.'' Vivius whispered and flashed next him. Just in case, he also gave a look to their enemy.

"Nice try old man, but I'll be seeing you around, next time...Bring a better sword!" With those words Gilgamesh vanished right before the blast him him, although it did have its effect...

He re-emerged from the teleportation spell, a small abandoned blacksmiths hut somewhere in the forbidden continent, the spell was burning away at his armor chest plate, which he quickly unbuckled and dropped on the floor, watching the spell burn a hole through the chest plate and the floor..."Close one" he remarked as picked it up with a pair of nearby tongs dropping it into the forging pot and began repairing the damage.
 
-------------------------------------------------
Richard - What now?
-------------------------------------------------

In the lonely throne room of Granseal, a man covered with blood and sweat, was sitting on a chair. His only eye was looking around the room and he seemed to be thinking. Near him, in a corner, was a man with a funny pointed hat. He also seemed tired and exhausted.

'' What now?'' Asked the sitting one with rude voice of a bass. The one in the corner sighed slowly.

'' Well ... I heard that Oeilvert has assembled a huge, seriously huge army to the former location of Condie Petie. Rumors say, that they have started mining adamintine mithril from there ... which means that they will probably establish a base to there sooner or later.'' The black mage said without haste. The one on the chair started coughing and fell down from it.

'' I'm sorry ... I should get some rest.'' He said and somehow managed to pull himself back to the chair.

'' They are certainly going to attack Esto Gaza, as it's the only force who might actually attack their future base. Mist continent is afraid of attacking them ... so yeah, they will launch an attack against Esto Gaza.'' Richard discussed with himself.

'' Oh and they already started bulding a fortress to Daguerro ... '' Vivius said and left the corner.

'' Now, shall we go to prepare to head out to Esto Gaza?'' The legendary black mage asked and gave his hand to Richard.

'' What about the battle against Darkrul? Shouldn't we aid them?'' Richard asked with a bit surprised voice.

'' Don't worry ... I already know how the fight ends ...'' Vivius'es voice was strict and there were no signs of lying.
 
((OOC: Well, this move should create a nice opening for Galm's character to launch an attack. Except that she has no clue Tina is also intent on attacking.))

Luna's eyes whirled over to Darkrul. Still enveloped in her aura of red, the chill of it all made her rage for battle. "Darkrul. You're next." She hissed. The 10 weapons came around her forming an arc. With their edges pointing towards Darkrul's direction, a bright crimson aura appeared, masking the darker red beneath it.

As soon as the color completely masked the previous, Luna roared," Die."

These words having been said, the girl vanished once again. Reappearing close to Darkrul, her ten weapons moved with a life of their own. Right now, the only weapon under her control was the Crescent Blade in her hand.

Positioning themselves around Darkrul in a flash, the nine weapons spun about so quickly they were a blur. "Finishing strike!" Luna muttered, raising her Crescent Blade. The nine weapons then closed in. Nevertheless, this should be a tough move to avoid.

Luna allowed herself a snide smile. Even if Darkrul were to be able to deflect all nine blades, he'll have to deal with an agile assassin trained in leaping in for a one-hit kill, especially when the person's guard is down. Unless Darkrul is prepared, he was going to be downed this time.
 
OOC: I do plan on attacking, I was waiting for a response from Saiger, but since he don't seem on planning to continue RPing Darkrul, well, I may as well continue.

IC: The Void Spark exploded on itself, with Tina blocking the shockwave and created a wave of dust that concealed her movements. She then saw Darkrul being surrounded by weapons and it was her cue to jump in and go in for the kill. Tina ran towards Darkrul as fast as she could, with Mage Mashers in hand and jumped up. If Darkrul somehow managed to evade Luna's attacks, then she could come in and put her blades straight down on the Black Waltz's skull. (ala Riddick)
 
[ooc well, it isnt going to be as easy as that you know:P]

Darkrul knew he was in a dire situation, his servant had been despatched and he had been surrounded by Luna's swords and Tina was preparing to strike a final blow, however a sinister smile crept along his face as he held one hand behind his back that was charging up a rather powerful spell..

As Tina closed in with a downward strike he stepped back and thrust out his hand.."Not so fast! DARK HOLY!!" he bellowed and a massive blast of Dark energy burst forth from Darkrul which he had aimed directly at Tina..the spell had been bolstered with everything Darkrul had, without taking a moment to stop he aimed his other hand at Luna "SHADOW DISSIPATE!" he yelled blasting forth a wave of Dark energy that blew past the swords and continued towards its target...

Darkrul was showing his true mastery of Dark magic even more so in desperate circumstances...

Till Death Do Us Part:

[ooc: one on one coming up btw peeps, final part of this battle :P http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxcPQW4V_kE&feature=channel_page[/ooc]

As Alshi watched on at the terrible power that Darkrul wielded, she realised what he had truly become, nothing more than a crazed servant of Darkness...As the thoughts crept through her mind, her mind drifted to there son....and she realised that if the party was not successful the Maniac would certainly make him his next target....She knew she couldnt allow that to happen and her entire body began to flash white and gold....Alshi had gone into a trance....

"DARKRUL STOP!...YOUR FIGHT IS WITH ME!!, The rest of you get out of here, I'll deal with him myself! He's my problem and I know what I have to do...now go!!" Alshi yelled out across the academy as she stood staring straight at Darkrul, with her eyes now a glowing gold as she untied her mantle, letting it idly drop to the floor and lowered her hood revealing her long blonde hair....

"Whatever Love I once held for you is gone, it died a long time ago when you became this foul creature....and now its time for me to do my Duty, and rid your existence so no more harm can come to the people of the world!" Alshi stated as she began to charge a spell hoping to get the Waltz Lord's undivided attention...

[ooc: make your way out of the rift, but dont worry....I have a feeling someone is going to show up and challenge Luna and Tina to a duel very soon :P]

Letitia observed Darkrul's fight from a few metres away. So, Darkrul, too allowed actions to speak louder than words.
How interesting.
It didn't seem like he needed her help at the moment, but if he did, Letitia wanted Darkrul to swallow his pride and ask for it, preferably on bended knee with a few tears for extra effect.
 
Since Tina was in the air, she was unable to dodge the wave and was knocked up, then falling to the ground on her back. "Dammit. That mage has got to die." She slowly got back up, and faced the Tranced Black Waltz, "No matter how many times you knock me down, I'LL ALWAYS COME BACK FOR MORE!!!" A Blue aura began to emanate from her as Tina entered Trance mode. She became much faster and started to run at speeds faster than the blink of an eye, using this ability to try and get behind Darkrul and kick him in the back. Followed up by several slashes with her daggers.
 
The Challenge is issued:

As Tina went to kick Darkrul in the back, a ghostly spectre appeared right behind him and blocked the attacks with its swords....the ghostly apperation was none other than Gilgamesh whom had created an avatar of himself within the other realm..

"Such spunk young one, but I'm afraid...your fight is with me!...exit the rift and I shall be waiting, I the greatest swordsman in all of Ivalice have waited for an opponent such as yourself...I AM GILGAMESH and your weapons will be forfeit to me!!"

In the material realm, Gilgamesh was using an ancient magic seal to divert the transportation of the next people to exit the rift to his current location, an ancient crystal cave, deep within the forbidden continent...both Tina and Luna had something he wanted, and Gilgamesh was not one to stop until he got what he wanted!

[ooc: I'm expecting Gilgamesh vs Tina & Luna to be a very fast paced battle, so a high paced song is in order for it ^_^ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vGIswJBe9PU&feature=channel_page

OOC: Allow me to choose the theme for our battle with Gilgamesh, I have a feeling that Clashing on the Big Bridge ain't gonna cut it today. That is my only request.

Outta my way, Gilgamesh!! Tina said. She has met Gilgamesh before, he was a mercenary and a sword hunter, and usually when he issued the challenge swords were on the line. But Tina was not impressed with Gilgamesh interfering, or in the mood to continue her fight with Darkrul. "If you want your fight, fine." she turned to Alshi and said, "Good luck with your former husband." Before dissapearing into the rift and into Gilgamesh's battlefield.
 
[ooc sure thing, it wasnt clash on big bridge btw but go ahead :p /ooc]

"Ah, Tina welcome...today you do battle with the greatest swordsman in existence, today your weapons will be added to my collection and be put to use in the hands of a truly worthy wielder" Gilgamesh mentioned upon the arrival of Tina...

"But I am suprised young one, surely you know your facing certain defeat standing alone against the mighty Gilgamesh?"
he continued and waited for Tina's reply.

[ooc: ofc everyone knows, Gilgamesh really loves the sound of his own voice :P ]
 
OOC: Oh, well in that case, never mind....

[[Music starts to play]]

IC: "This is war Gilgamesh, dead man's words hold no meaning." Tina said, "And who knows, maybe as payment, I'll take one of your swords." Tina said. "Charging her daggers with magic, she started running towards Gilgamesh, hoping that he will make the first move. He was slow but powerful, being able to use 4 2 handed weapons, one for each. In order to defeat someone like him, she would have to quickly dodge and attack. Keep him on his toes.

"You can't hit what your eyes can't see." She said as she quickly swung her blades at Gilgamesh's torso in a cross style fashion.
