Final Fantasy IX: The Fall of Mages RP

Darkrul stared in disbelief at the loss of his hand, he couldnt believe that it had been ripped right off....

Shaking with rage he saw the energy signature come towards him, he flew quickly back towards the airship and grabbed his staff with his only hand clutching it tightly as he flew back up to meet Richard...

As the energy came towards him he raised his staff into the air and began to chant a strange spell that he had learned from the Book Of Black Arts....

"Ummmsoridgo....Vurgo Leosordina Excrum Velsis Vornuda....Black Vortex!" With those words, the small space of air in front of him began to spiral and tear apart creating a black vaccum of nothingness, that the energy flew straight into, the air vaccum then sealed itself and dissappeared if nothing ever happened...

"My turn.....ShaaaaaaaDOWWW FLLAAAREEE!!!" The Words Echoed loudly, like thunder clapping as Darkrul pointed his staff forward releasing a large sphere of dark energy cloaked in flames, like he had done before against Vivius...but this one wasnt created in a hurry....it had Darkrul's full concentration and its power was immense...

If Richard was to be struck by this notoriously deadly spell, it would be over for him.....Darkrul laughed loudly as his eyes flicked wider in gruesome delight and intent as he watched on at the helpless Richard as his favorite spell flew ever closer towards its mark...
 
Dori then went to the eagle, watched him for some moments. He then realised that he has began to like this magnificent bird. At his home planet, he haven´t saw those kinds of birds before. He then putted his hand on the eagle

"Hey, listsen, I got two things I need you to to for me:
Firstly, go find Richard and help him if necesary: Go look him at the plce where you brought us earlier.
And secondly come back to this ship, with him if you can, dead or alive, no mather. If he is dead then he deserves a proper funeral. And don´t you dare to die, it is much to early for you" Dori sad to him with a sad voice and tooked her hand of so that the eagle could go. Then the eagle looked like he understanded every word that Dori said to him and went flying, a last voce was all that Dori heard from him when i flied away.
Dori then opened the book and followed Eopphelia. There were some things that he wanted to tell him more. He started to call him and search for him. It took him a while but he managed to found him in captains cabin alone, sitting on a chair and was crying.

"Hey Eophelia I sent the eagle of to find Richard and to bring him back, but there was something that I wanted to show you in the book" said Dori to Eophelia and showed her the book Where there was a map and a little text and he started to translated the runes scription.
 
A hand of black flesh appeared in the air with Letitia, who smiled a little. "A gift," she said coolly, drawing her dark blade. "It would seem, my new ally, that you need help. Help I can give. I can aid you in destroying Richard, if you like. How would you like to hear the plan? I believe that you will like it."
She waited in silence. When he touched the hand, it would attach.
 
-------------------------------------
Richard - Again escaping eh?
-------------------------------------

The legless dog was standing on the bloody ground. His fur was covered with dust, blood and pain. His teeth were black, covered by the life source of Darkrul and Shadow Flare was going to hit him any moment. How powerful and dark it was. Almost impossible to be dodged nor blocked. His body was ready to face the death, but his mind wasn't. But a moment later revielment filled his eyes. The blood from the look was gone. He was gone. He felt how someone had dragged him away from the mess, someone friendly and familiar. He was pulled away from the Shadow Flare. A moment later he felt the shaking ground and the powerful burst of energy moving past him. It seemed as he was still near. He then looked to left. It was rather old looking man with a beautifully carved katana.

'' King of Alexandria?'' Richard told with broken voice and transformed back to human. His legs were broken and his body was shaking. He was going to pass out, sooner or later.

'' I can't let my old knight to die or can I?'' The old man told. He wiped his hand for a moment and some kind of green energy surrounded Richard's body. Antitode or something similar it was. But the king, he looked nothing like a king, rather like a old veteran like Richard. But he seemed to be fresh. His face was noble and his body was powerful like was his magical aura. He then looked to right and saw an eagle heading towards them. He flashed and the next moment both he and Richard were on the back of the bird.

'' Take him back!'' King told to the eagle and then disappeared. Next moment he was standing next to Darkrul, in all his glory.

'' We will meet again!'' He told with a loud and powerful voice that easily surpassed Richard's.

'' Good bye!'' He told and before anyone of them was able to react, the king was gone.

-----------------------------------------
Eophelia - Richard ... oh dear!
-----------------------------------------

It had already been half an hour or even more while Dori tried to translate the runes. But Eophelia wasn't in the mood. She looked around all the time and seemed to be waiting for something. For the dwarf it seemed to be more like an adventure, but she knew that on her and others hand lied the fate of humankind. And yet she was here, away from the battle. Searching for pointless answers. But then she felt familiar energy. Suddenly she was standing up and headed towards the exit. Almost instantly she had made herself up to the airship outer deck.

'' Thank you ...'' She muttered to herself. But the sight was as astonishing and fearful as always. Eophelia saw the emotionless body of Richard in the ground, or maybe not emotionless. The suffering body of Richad's as he was still alive.. Almost instantly flowing blood started covering the floor. She put her hand on Richard and headed downwards A minute later they were behind the door of airship medical room. She smashed the door open and rushed next to a bed. She put Richard to the bed and called the doctor.

'' Please.. please save him!'' She told. Her voice was weak and tired but her mind was more chaotical. Was she losing her child's father?

------------------------------------------
Vivius - Are you ready?
------------------------------------------

Vivius and Tahomi had walked trough the cave of Ifrit for an enternity by now. But then Vivius stopped. So did Tahomi. A relaxed and positive smile came to the face of Vivius.

'' Trust your new powers Tahomi. Go ahead, Ifrit is in the huge room in front of us.'' Vivius told and disappeared. Tahomi was left alone and Vivius was gone.
 
When Dori noticed that Richard was back, then he somehow was happy. Not only Richard came back but the eagle also.

"Well what do you, that bastard did made it alive here" he though, and followed him to the medical room. He thinked a little about the book and the situation of Richard.

" Eophilia, take Richard and go anywhere else with that ship, I´ll be moving on on my own. I have all the necessary things" he told with a normal tone.

"Ow, and one thing, can you show me where exactly are we right now, on this map?" he asked from Eophilia. When Eophilia showed him, then Dori said good luck, went up the stairs to the main deck and wnet to the eagle.

Ok then, It´s just you and me" he told to the eagle, jumped on his back and took off to the wild sky.

Eophelia - Quiet day!
-----------------------------

She was sitting next to Richard. Tears dropped down and sorrow had filled her heart. She was not sure if Richard was able to survive until she heard a familiar voice. She turned around and looked back. It was Amarus.

'' Eophelia, don't cry. Richard has always survived, always. Even when he lost half of his body he survived. And now with broken bones you think he wont survive? And don't cry like a weakling!'' Amarus was as cold and calm as always tho a worried look had filled his face. He sat next to her.

'' We are going to Lindblum right? I presume to meet Alshi?'' He asked. Eophelia nodded and stood up. After that she left the room.

OOC: Guys get posting! NOW!

Tahomi took a deep breath as she prepared to face off with the mighty lord of hellfire Ifrit, she knew all too well how powerful a being he was in summon form, but this was a fight against the all powerful lord of fire in the flesh, there was nothing stopping him utlising his full fury and power....

She drew The Illuminati from its sheath and stalked into the cave, clutching tightly to the hilt...she knew in her mind if she was going to stand any chance, she needed to open with a suprise attack...

Holding the blade steady she began to chant and channel energy, the Illuminati began to softly hum and glow with a terrific white hue....

"White Tiger!" Tahomi quickly utter and blasted out a force of brilliant white energy from the blade that shot towards Ifrit, which quickly spiralled and took the shape of a Tiger, snarling as it pounced towards Ifrit...

Ifrit - The god of flames!
-----------------------------------------------------

Flames covered and filled everything. He was standing there, he Ifrit. In front of a little girl who Vivius brought.

'' You are supposed to be my meal?'' Ifrit asked with irritating voice. But than it got death serious. His eyes were filled with rage and madness and his muscles got ready to hit. Then he vanished. A summon and vanishing ... something that was impossible in their summon form. But the Ifrit made from flesh and blood, was he really that powerful and able to use the low tricks of mages? The tiger burst to the wall and rocks fell down but nothing else happened. Were was Ifrit? Then a laughter filled the air. Ifrit was standing two meters behind Tahomi in his glory. Flame waves surrounding him and his power. He released a little wave of air. The heat was probably something unbeareble but the next hit was something even worse. His huge hand made from flames, lava and power charged at Tahomi. Probably smashing everything under it.

OOC: As Ante seems to be away for few days let's move on with things that do not touch Ante :) GET BACK SOON ANTE!
 
Letitia smiled at Darkrul and vanished, appearing before Richard. Although she smiled, her face truly emanated fury and absolute conviction as she stared down Richard on the bed, her own black wings flapping as spheres of dark energy formed in her hand, crackling black sparks as she gathered the necessary energy.
"I tried to give you a chance, Richard," she said, empowering her spheres with even more energy. "I tried to make you see the foolishness of your ways, but it was a wasted effort because you were just too foolish to listen. So you must face the consequences!" With a yell, she propelled the spheres at Richard's face.

Amarus - The student of the great three!
----------------------------------------------------------

He dash back the moment he felt incoming energy. And the same time he vanished, completely hidden in the shadows. Nothing betrayed his presence. And yet he had to do something. It was Letitia over Richard and ready to slay him. Amarus smiled and raised his hand.

'' Time to test your magic Quina ...'' He muttered and then Letitia was gone together with the Dark Sphere. Amarus smiled to the sleeping Richard and then disappeared as well. Now they were inside some kind of magical world. Inside a huge mansion with narrow corridors. And what was even more annoying then the narrow and small place for fighting, it was that the walls bounced back everything that was used against them. Then Amarus appeared in front of Letitia with a smile on his face.

'' Let's fight in my world ... the world built by my teachers - Vivi, Quina and Vivius.'' He told and next moment he had charged at unmatched speed at Letitia. His claws were revealed and he slashed.
 
She was slashed and stepped back, grunting, but then drew her own sword and flashed behind Amarus and delivered three swift slashes and a stab towards his back, laughing, already recovered fromt he shock of the sudden transportation. "Who do you think you are?" she asked as she continued to slash at his back. "You should not have interfered. You may have lived, little magician."
 
-----------------------------------------------------------
Amarus - Not a magician at all!
-----------------------------------------------------------

Amarus started laughing while he pushed Letitia back but the upcoming slashes made him a bit serious.

'' A sword user eh ...'' He thought in his mind and then smiled.

'' I am not a magician at all... I don't tend to use magic ... it's too exhausting and slow ...'' He muttered while he was able to dodge the hits of Letitia. His speed was really top notch and the manor fitted extremely well for a fighter of that kind. Then he flashed back to Letitia and smiled gently.

'' But if you want magic ... FIRAGA!'' He roared and next moment the corridor was filled with fire. No way that one could dodge it but that was the same for Amarus. He fell to his knees but soon stood up. Blood dropped down from his burnt face.

'' Uh ... I am like Richard now ...'' He muttered and noticed Letitia. He then charged at his enemy. Amazingly fast and powerful slashes. Exactly five.
 
Letitia dropped as the fire hit her, healing her horribly burnt face quickly and blocking the first blow quickly, then the second and third, but the fourth sent her stumbling, and the fifth bit into her arm painfully.
Snarling, she leapt at Amarus, and suddenly split into seven, each letitia sending a burst of dark magic at him, but only one was real.
 
------------------------------------------------
Amarus - To be certain!
------------------------------------------------

Amarus smiled at Letitia's trick and then started moving backwards. At high speed he was escaping til he met a door. He dash trough the door like it was a childs play. But than something different occured. The land started pulling him closer and closer. Instantly sweat covered his face but somehow was able to move a meter further to the room. It was a gravity room, certainly bigger than the narrow corridors had been. But the point was that the gravity here was so big that it was almost impossible to stand up without special training. And that was what he was hoping for. The seven Letitia's burst in and probably the true one was only one who would survive the fall against door. That was what Amarus hoped for.
 
Tahomi's eyes slightly narrowed as the powerful fist of Ifrit came towards her and within the blink of an eye, she had vanished from her previous spot, reapearing a short distance behind the lord of hellfire...

She rose the Illuminati up and Blasted out a second "White Tiger" but shifted her stance and lept into the air and blasted out a second wave of energy...

"Grand White Dragon!" She yelled out as the energy quickly spiralled towards the beast, extinguising the flames and exhaustive heat in a strong air vaccum as the energy twisted skyward and transformed into a Giant Avatar of a White Dragon....it along with the White Tiger similtanously moved upon Ifrit hoping to land heavy damage....


Elsewhere, Darkrul looked down at the hand that Letitia had regenerated for him, as good as new!

Although he was still angered about Richard's narrow escape, he knew now wasnt the time to pursue him and he would let his new ally have her fun, afterall there was only one thing on his mind.....The Destruction Of Alexandria, the kingdom of Zidane.....the wretched half-breed that had defeated some of his family members along side Vivi...

He flapped his wings and took to the skies, pacing himself with a devious glint in his eye as his headed towards his destination......the outlining Villages in the province of Alexandria...afterall with the villagers in panic, it would only make his attack on the capital city that more effective.... Today would be the day where the citizens of Alexandria knew the name Darkrul...and knew the power of the Black Waltz Lord!!
 
---------------------------------------------
Ifrit - My flesh and blood!
---------------------------------------------

Ifrit was in his glory. Flames covered his hands and his beast like body. He was ready to face the powerful try of his enemy, Tahomi.

'' You do know that I am summon in his true body, made from flesh and blood?'' Ifrit asked with roaring voice and sent out a huge, almost abnormal wave of fire that consumed the white dragon and started heading against Tahomi. It was certainly one of the most powerful waves that Ifrit was able to use. But why did he use it so early, was he afraid of Tahomi?
 
Tahomi's jaw dropped as her Grand Dragon was destroyed like a mere plaything....the roaring flame came hurtling towards her....closer and closer...

Suddenly the Illuminati glowed more intensely and a white phoenix appeared from the blade in front of Tahomi....screeching and absorbing the full brunt of the blow....before blasting it back as in icicle spike at Ifrit....

The voice of the Illuminati spoke "I told you, I would watch over you, I will not allow my mistress to fall!" Tahomi was filled with a new found confidence as the voice echoed within her head, as she adopted her stance and waited to see the result of the icicle spike...

==========================================================

Back in the outlining villages of Alexandria....

"DIEE petty scum of Alexandria, HAHAHA!!!" Darkrul yelled out as he unleashed another barrage of gravity spells upon the villagers, sucking them into the cassams that he had opened in the ground....as the last village fell, Darkrul began to concentrate his energies and surge them out...creating a black portal near the gates of the city of Alexandria itself...

[ooc] music for the siege of Alexandria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6S8LmynAkQ [/ooc]

"Its time for the army of the Waltzes to march once more....come my followers, destroy your former masters and rid this world of there taint!!" With those words the portal began to open wider and an army of Synthetic Black mages began to march through and line up around the walls of Alexandria....numbering in there hundreds of thousands...as they seemed to be coming off a production line of some sort, long thought to be shut down years ago...

"And now for the icing on the cake.......Protector of the planet, guardian of life....hear my call and assist us in ridding the world of those that seek to destroy your home.....come forth and erradicate the foolish humans from existence so that order may be restored.....COME FORTH ULTIMA WEAPON!!" As Darkrul finished the incantation, a beam of energy shot from his hands and the ground began to crack and break asunder.....energy crackled from the newly formed opening as the legendary being Ultima Weapon came charging through in all his draconic glory....he seemed to be under some sort of spell, like a puppet on strings as his eyes glowed a strange white hue.....It seemed Darkrul's will had taken control of the being as it too focused its gaze upon the grand city of Alexandria....


"NOW MY MINIONS ATTACK....LEAVE NOONE ALIVE HAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Darkrul's roar bellowed across the land as the mages began to charge fireballs and ice spells and began to bombard the city walls, with ultima weapon flying overhead attacking anyone foolish enough to climb the walls to attempt to man the mighty cannons....
 
---------------------------------------------------------------
Ifrit - Illuminati?
-----------------------------------------------------

The appearance of a sudden light and elegant phoenix was something that surprised and maybe even shocked Ifrit. His eyes were filled with caution and fear. The phoenix of Illumati, something that was legendary for it's power and something that rarely occurred. Almost instantly Ifrit tried to counter the upcoming attack but it was no use. It burst trough the fire like the fire would have been weak and landed a direct hit. Ifrit felt how the icy attack froze his left arm and filled his body with pain. He roared like a beast. While being more powerful in his true body there was a minus, he felt pain. He dash back but was able to stay calm. He dealt a counter attack. His flaming hand was going to smash the brains of Tahomi at incredible speed while spilling out heat and flame.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kuja Alexandros Tribal I - The war for Alexandria!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a total mess. Even when Alexandria had prepared for war well and they were waiting for Oeilvert's attack, the sudden attack of a unknown Mages army was too devastating. It was a total chaos everywhere. The hordes of mages were simply walking trough the hundreds of soldiers that Alexandria had to offer. It was a great loss and defeat outside the walls but meanwhile inside every man or boy old enough to wield a weapon was running towards closest armory. Every soldier was following their orders and getting ready, but it was almost useless. The mages were just too powerful and soon could have run in to the city. Waves of fire, thunder, ice and death burst out everywhere, leaving nothing behind to the tired ground around Alexandria. Fortunately the huge wall of Alexandria was strong enough to hold them behind it, at least for a moment as something like Ultima weapon could burst trough it in minutes.

An quite old man was sitting on his chair and eating while a noble prince run in and interrupted the meal. His face was covered with sweat and fear yet it seemed that the king knew even more what was going on. A positive look covered his face.

'' How's the situation?'' He asked with his old and tired voice while tried to be positive and inspiring. It was the son of Zidane, the oldest of them. Now a king of Alexandria. He smiled to the grandchild of his father.

'' Bad ... The gate will hold on another 6 minutes, the walls maybe half an hour. Pluto Knights are going to be sent out. Castle will be safe withing 5 minutes ... but the walls, we don't know if we can put the defenses up fast enough.'' The prince told while he was panting as loud as possible. He seemed to be very exhausted and tired yet he maintained noble look. The king smiled warmly and used some kind of mysterious magic. It seemed as everything stopped besides the two men. Even wind didn't blow. The king raised and gave a quick glance to the room. It was well decorated and beautiful as everything was in Alexandria.

'' Call Pluto Knight Officers to the main hall as fast as possible. Send 2000 soldiers to evacuate the town edge near the gate. They should be done with it withing 6 minutes, just right time. Release all the airships. Close all inner gates and secure every section with helping citizens while all soldiers are sent out to the wall and front line. Now move!'' He told with loud and powerful voice and within the last words the wind started blowing. The king flashed away and found himself in his armory. A huge and noble golden armor was there waiting for him. It was shiny and there was a emblem of Alexandria on it. So many memories came up but he had no time to waste, there was a battle waiting for him. Almost instantly it was on him and he took out his katana.

'' Ultima weapon .... that can't mean any good.'' The moment he felt the extraordinary aura of Ultima weapon his voice told in his mind. It was somewhat astonished and weak. This wasn't attack of any known enemy, that was certain. But was it someone even more dangerous? But there was no time for wondering. He closed his eyes. When he opened them, a bright light blinded him. He was in the busy yet small main hall. 11 officers were standing in front of him, all from the pluto knights.

'' Pluto Knight Unit 1 will rush to the front. It's your job to slow Ultima weapon down! Unit 2 start evacuating the town edge. Unit 3 fill up the cannons in the wall. Unit 4 start evacuating the city itself. Unit 5 secure the old castle. Unit 6 Take contact with Lindblum and Unit 7 take contact with Burcmeria. We need every man possible. Unit 8 join the battle inside the town. Unit 9 rush to the front. Unit 10 secure royal family members. Unit 11 move to the main airships and get navy ready to fight. Oh and where is leader?'' He asked the moment when unit 11 officer was going to leave the room.

'' He is in the front, defending the gate!'' The officer told and disappeared. King smiled to himself and noticed a general of Alexandria army running in. He was also covered with sweat and filled with fear.

'' Top priority is getting town edge evacuated. 2nd priority is getting every one ready to fight and third priority is getting navy ready!'' king muttered and saw as the general vanished. Then he started walking trough the main hall downwards towards the exit. The walls were covered with famous paintings and some sculptures were here and there. He saw as the soldiers and nobles were running around everywhere, panicing like it would be the end of the world.

'' I will do what I can ...'' He muttered and disappeared. Next moment he was in front of the gate. Nothing besides the huge abnormal gate was behind him and in front of him was a ground filled with hundreds and thousands of soldiers, but mostly with mages. Only one man was standing there with him, it was Pluto Knights General Steiner II, the grandson of Steiner and Beatrix. He was wearing his grandfathers old rusty armor and a powerful sword shining like you would presume. He was extremely agile and powerful. He smashed, dash and burst. He wiped mages out like they were only dolls. Without any doubts he was a true warrior. But it was nothing near the power of king, nothing. With one smooth and gentle slash more than 100 mages were cut to two pieces. Straight trough the waves of enemies he slashed and slashed. But the enemies, they were not going to back off.

'' Hold the gate for 7 and half minutes ... don't leave any sooner. After that you may retreat!'' Kuja told with commanding voice and flashed. He was in front of Ultima weapon. It was a huge machine like beast, covered with mystical armor and equipped with abnormal giant sword. He slashed and dash. He moved fast for his size and sent out waves that killed every single soul in front of him. King dash and dodged barely a wave of certain death. He countered it with a powerful Tidal Flame. It take down more than 500 mages but was useless against Ultima. Only little mark was left on the enemy. Fortunately the same moment five warships appeared and started stealing the attention of Ultima.

'' Hope they last ...'' King muttered and started making his way trough the hordes of Black mages. He raised his head and noticed a black waltz flying over them all.

'' Darkrul ...'' He muttered and continued fighting.
 
The first six Letitia's exploded into smoke, and the final one cursed and sent a ball of darkness zooming at Amarus, while using the smoke to conceal herself, resisting the room's irritating pull of gravity while summoning the necessary energy for a more powerful assault upon this man. Using his own possesions as weapons, and changing the very fabric of existence as he saw fit. No, she couldn't allow that.
 
Darkrul spotted the king and his most loyal servants battling through the army of mages, that just kept poaring out of the portal in there thousands, everytime a mage fell, another replaced them in the battle-line, whatever Darkrul had been doing during his "disappearance" he had certainly been busy...

He spotted the airships heading towards Ultima weapon and cracked out a manical laugh...."Ultima....dispose of those....toys, I have business to attend to, cant let this fool get to the portal" He barked towards ultima, who just roared and flew into combat with the airships...before decending from the sky onto the battlefield right in front of the king....

Raising his hands up in the air, time seemingly stopped as everyone in the battle seemed to be not moving, nor breathing....like a freeze frame picture....everyone but himself and the King.....

"SO.....you had the guts to come out from behind your walls, I suppose I should honor such courage with a one on one?.....Prepare yourself for your doom and the fall of your kingdom Foolish KING! Hahahahaha!!!!" Energy began to crackle around Darkrul as he let the darkness take its hold....twisting and re-shaping his very form, as he removed his hat and dropped it to the ground.....his facial features warped and twisted into a demonic shape, with dripping fangs, his muscular structure bolstered, as his the joints in his legs cracked and reshaped, forming hoove like hind legs...blackness enveloped him as he turned his bright piercing white eyes onto the king....

"You wanted me....you got me, You are the first to see my true form, The Black trance.....and you will be the last!!! lets go!" Darkrul let out a mighty roar and pounced towards the king slashing with magically imbued talons attempting to strike through his armor....
