<Narrator> ===== Session start! ===== <Narrator> The Shining Force gathers at the docks, attempting to find a boat to lead them to the next island in pursuit of Reisha(The feminazi bitch from hell). Unfortunately, no ships seem to be in service... * Indigo reappears in an intense burst of white light. <Narrator> The docks is fairly empty... <Jessica> Hmmm..... <Jessica> we could always swim. <Meredith> I could fly...but...well.. ^^: You can't. * David scowls, his arms crossed... "Grand.." <Indigo> So, what are we all waiting for? * Jessica looks out. "How far is it to the next island." <Meredith> Hmm...Is there a port house anywhere...maybe we can hitch a ride on a cargo ship... <Narrator> The docks seems fairly deserted... A few lower class ships stand anchor dropped, their captains busy with loading and unloading cargo. <Meredith> ...Like that one? * Meredith points to a random cargo ship <David> A cargo ship....yes....good thinking, Meredith.. * Meredith blinks and turns around to Indigo! O_o <Meredith> ...hey! <Jessica> excellent idea, Meredith. * David blinks and ehhs at Indigo * Meredith whispers to David. "Tackle her. Now. While she's semi-sane." * David blinks. ^^; "But that'd be wrong.." * Indigo looks about.... <Indigo> I have an idea! ^_^ * Indigo glows blue. <David> No! * David tackles Indigo!! * Meredith whispers to David "She's insane....^_^ Thank you! " <Indigo> Neptune, Elemental of Water, tidal wave the beach and carry us away! <Narrator> == Indigo's spell fails * David grunts ^^; * Indigo sighs. * Meredith helps tackle Indi with David! <Indigo> David, it's rude to tackle people. * David gets sandwiched by Meredith * Indigo glows blue. <Indigo> Neptune, Elemental of Water, tidal wave the beach and carry us away! <Meredith> SHUT UP! <David> Indigo...! Stop summoning!! <Jessica> I could give her a nice new smile....right across the neck. * Indigo blinks, still surrounded by her blue aura. * Meredith pins her arms back. "David, do you have any rope or anything like that?!" <Indigo> Dear, it's what I do for a living. You'll understand one day. * Indigo pats David's head before Meredith grabs her. <Meredith> Oh, yeah, and I suppose it's your 'living' to off half of the guard here, eh? * David grabs a rope, hesitating. "But...she...I thought we figured out that she wasn't..." * Aura rolls her eyes <Jessica> can we just get a ride to the next island? <Meredith> ...I gotta tie her up long enough so I can explain a few things to her without her summoning crap * David wrinkles his nose before tying Indigo's hands behind her back. <Meredith> And more crap...and more crap...you know what I mean... <David> Can we get on a cargo ship now? * Jessica freezes Indigo's lips shut again with her ice magic. "That should keep her quiet." ^_^ * Aura sighs and watches.. * Meredith nods, and turns Indigo to her, pushing her long. "Listen closely, Indigo, Darling." * David heads to a cargo ship.. <Meredith> You know how you keep seeing Mitula on a regular basis? * Indigo struggles, then nods and writes with her finger. ~Yes, she is the founder of my family line. I call her Grandma.~ <Meredith> I know, Indigo...that woman is a fake. * David crosses his arms, looking for a sailor.. <Meredith> She's been finding out information about you and is driving you back into insanity. * Aura stands by the ship, staring at the water <Meredith> That's why she knows so much about you. * Jeyer walks away from the party across the coast line, looking at the ships docked, estimating one that would give the Shining Force safe passage... * David eyes Jeyer...before sinking into his thoughts.. * Indigo blinks. * David looks down at the water lapping against the docks... * Aura sits at the edge of the water, staring at it <Indigo> ~But Grandmother loves me. She protects me and said she would always be with me. She warned me of the family curse too.~ <Meredith> Because she's Celia...the same person who courrupted Tyr. <Meredith> She's a shapeshifter... <Meredith> Just trust me, Indigo. Do not go back to this woman. * Aura ponders just jumping into the water to get away from these loonys * David snaps his gaze up to Jeyer's form.. "Hey! Any luck?" <Jessica> I think I'll just start swimming....the sooner I get away from that psycho bitch, the better. * Jeyer suddenly trips at David's voice and falls face first in a pile of boxes <David> O_o * David grimaces and wanders over to Jeyer, helping him up.. ^^; * Aura blinks and looks over at the Jeyer * Indigo blinks and cries. <Meredith> I'm sorry, Indigo... * Jeyer leans on David to get up, wincing.... "Gah." <David> Sorry. ^^; * Jeyer dusts himself off and coughs slightly.. "I... Erm. No ships seem to take any passagers." <Meredith> Just don't summon too many things until this crisis with Volcanon is solved....not summon needlessly or for show. I have a feeling the spirits are confused as hell and that's why your summons don't work * Meredith unties Indigo <David> We could....uhm.. * Aura unlaces her boots and wades into the water.. * Indigo falls down and sobs, her hands to her eyes. <Jeyer> ... Swim? <David> Hide on a ship? <Meredith> Hmm... <Meredith> Hang on... * Jessica walks up behind David. "I like the idea of swimming, or I could create an ice bridge...but that would exhaust me. * Meredith looks at one of the cargo unloaders. "Maybe I can hitch us a ride..." <Meredith> I'll be back in a moment! * David nods to Meredith.. * Aura dunks her head under the water and looks around.. * Jeyer glances over at the candidates.. "They're all unusually well guarded.." * Meredith runs off to one of the unloaders and chats with him, showing off her Vinosec badge <Narrator> A small crab pinches Aura's nose * Aura shrieks and hops out of the water * David grimaces at Aura before rubbing his forehead.. * Aura grabs the crab and throws it against a boat <Narrator> The unloader glances at Meredith sideways.. "No passengers. Sorry." <Meredith> But this is an emergency! The Shining Force MUST make it to the next island. Your lives depend on it! <Narrator> The crab crashes against the prow of the boat, becoming a crab puff as he slides back in the water. * Aura puts all of her blades into her boots and goes deeper into the water * The unloader shrugs as he carries off a box to a storage house. "Not my problem, lady." * David looks back into the water.. * Meredith glares. "It will be." * Meredith sighs and heads back to David. "No luck." * Aura gets up to her waist in the water and looks around.. <David> Great....well....what are our options...? <Meredith> Swim... <David> Could we swim that far? <Meredith> That's all that's left. * Jeyer glances over at Aura and blinks... <Meredith> Probably not... <Meredith> I could request to reserve a ship, but that could take a couple of weeks. * Aura spies something she wants and dives under the water <Jessica> we don't have that long, Meredith. <Meredith> I know... * David runs a hand through his hair, beginning to look more and more frustrated.. "So....we...maybe we just...need to wait a night? Maybe there'll be ships tomorrow.." <Meredith> Not according to the schedule... <Narrator> The sky starts turning dark suddenly... The seamen glowering as they start working faster to get their cargo to safety * Meredith ecks and adjusts her glasses. "The next ship is coming in...a week. And it's booked." * Jessica snaps her fingers as a small piece of ice appears in her other hand. "Or....." * David looks up.. * Meredith blinks. * Aura pops her head out of the water <Jessica> Eh? * David murmurs.. "We could still hide on a ship." <Meredith> I wonder if our winged psychopath is returning...? <Jessica> you mean hide among the cargo? * Aura walks towards the shore..tripping a few times as she goes * David nods to Jessica.. <Meredith> Yeah, we've got no choice...we might as well. <Narrator> All the seamen suddenly call to raise anchor and the ships start departing in a frenzy of sails and sailor curses <David> ...damnit! <Meredith> No! <Jessica> Oh hell. <Meredith> Well...Fuck. * Aura yelps as the anchor she's standing on gets pulled up off the ground * Jeyer blinks and yells at Aura to move! * David looks miserable... and then blinks at Aura.. "Aura..!" * Aura is pulled about 6 feet up into the air, then tumbles off into the water * Meredith flies off the docks and grabs Aura before she fully falls into the water! <Meredith> Careful...! * David sighs softly... "Jeyer?" * Aura just blinks at the boat.."why the hell did they do that o_O" <Meredith> «ooc: Tyr: Hmm...Reisha...you shall the Godess of the Storm...Yeeeesssss..... » * Jeyer just stays there, blinking... "Uhm. Yes? <Meredith> Because something is coming...again. You know how it is. ^^; * Meredith flies to the dock and sets Aura down on it. "There!" <David> Surely you have some mystic voodoo...or something..to get us to that island...ideas..? thoughts? * Aura looks up at the sky..."its a prettty color.." <Aura> thank you, Meredith <Meredith> No problem... * Jeyer shakes his head.. "I can't use my powers, David." <Meredith> ...You know... * Meredith gives David a twitching eye look. * David blinks at Meredith.. <Meredith> ^^; Um...do you think...Reisha? * David looks up at the sky.. <Jessica> could be, Meredith.... <David> ...I don't know... <Meredith> I hope not. * Aura grabs her boots and stuff and walks up onto the shore, away from the water * David closes his eyes.. * Meredith gives David a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "It'll be okay, David." * David opens them again and shakes his head... "If it was Reisha, she'd probably zap some poor sailor in the butt with a lightning bolt....just cause." * Darin sighs.. and looks up at the sky.. <Meredith> ... * Jessica looks up too, but up at Darin. "what's wrong, love?" <David> We should head to an Inn....we need to get a plan.. <David> Standing here on the docks is just asking for trouble.. <Meredith> ...I suppose you're right... <Narrator> == The sky turns pitch black, the only lights visible being the ones lighting the docks... The streets are completely empty as a thick fog starts to settle over the docks area... <David> .... * Aura just stares up at the sky.. <Meredith> ...What time is it, everyone? <Jessica> 9:01 * David blinks and looks around.. "It wasn't late enough to be dark.." <Meredith> In the morning? <Meredith> ...Damn...Something's coming...We'd better find shelter now... * David nods.. <David> Lets go back to the Inn.. * Aura disapears off into the fog.. * Jessica looks at her watch. "yeah..we'd better find sheleter." * Meredith grabs Aura before she wanders too far. <Meredith> Let's go, Little one. ^^: * Jessica grabs Darin and goes to the inn. * David turns and heads back to the inn.. "C'mon..." <Narrator> Lights in the distance appear in the water... <Meredith> ...Wait! * Aura grumbles.."i'm not thaat little.." * David blinks <Meredith> Something's coming... <Meredith> Sorry Aura. ^^; * David turns and looks.. "Huh.." * Aura points to the lights <Jessica> Eh? * Jessica stops and looks back. <Narrator> The lights seem to cut through the fog... As the form approaches, a tattered sail can be made out by the Shining Force... <Meredith> ...A ghost ship/ * David blinks and frowns, feeling himself tense.. <David> Possibly... * Darin blinks.. <Jessica> more than likely. <David> Everyone be ready.. * Aura stares out at the boat * David brings his hand up to the hilt of AmeShi, eyeing the rapidly appearing ship.. * Jessica summons a fireball. * Aura forms a ball of ice in the air in front of her <Narrator> The boat quickly settles at the end of the docks, not dropping anchor... It simply sits there, waiting. <David> ......well... <David> We don't have any other ways... * David looks at the group. <Meredith> Let's go. * Aura walks towards the boat * Meredith flies onto the boat * David nods and heads for the boat.. * Jessica follows david to the boat. * Aura stands next to the boat * Jeyer nods resolutely as he goes to board the ship... <Narrator> The planks of the boat are rotted, but are seemingly solid... The whole deck is devoid of any movement... * Aura climbs into the boat * David frowns and mutters.. "This has so got to be a trap..." * Darin looks at the boat... "I .. don't like this." <David> Its all we've got to work with, Darin.. * Jessica follows Aura. "I don't like this one bit, but....I guess we'll have to check it out." <Meredith> Ghost ships ARE traps, normally... * David follows Aura as well, boarding the ship.. * Aura jumps down hard onto one of the rotted boards to check its strength <Narrator> The board survives the hit, seeming quite sturdy <David> Alright... * Aura walks along the deck of the boat.. * Meredith follows... * David trudges along as well, curious.. <Meredith> Where do we start looking, David? The captain's quarters? * Aura jumps on another random board <David> Yeah....we should look there first...that'd have a log book.. <Narrator> The board survives the impact * Darin slowly gets onto the ship... <David> Usually, anyway.. * Indigo walks along the ship, then perks up at Meredith's suggestion and trails behind them. * Aura shrugs and finds a high spot to sit on * David heads for the captain's quarters.. "Everyone be ready just in case..." * Jeyer climbs up slowly, trying as not to trip and fall... * Aura hops down and helps Jeyer on * Jeyer flinches at the help, but then calms himself and accepts her help... "Thank you.." <Meredith> ... * Aura smiles and kisses him softly on the cheek * Darin offers Jess his arm as they walk. * David opens the door to a cabin he finds.. * Jeyer blinks quickly and climbs on board.. * Jessica takes darin's arm. * Aura hops back up to her perch <Narrator> As the last of the Shining Force climb aboard the large ship, it suddenly starts moving away from the docks... <David> O_o <Meredith> Whoa! <Meredith> ...No turning back now... <Jessica> Holy..... <David> Great.. ^^; * Aura blinks and runs over to look off the edge * Jeyer sits down in a corner and falls asleep... <Meredith> ...Poor Jeyer.. * Aura looks over the edge * David sighs and glances about... * Jessica clings onto Darin for dear life. <David> I don't see any danger....not here, anyway... <Meredith> Let's find the captain's quarters... * Aura sighs and backs away from the edge * David nods and heads for the quarters.. * Indigo steps into the Captain's quarters, sits in the chair, and props her feet up on the desk. <Darin> I said it before, and I'll say it again... I don't like this..... * Aura finds Jeyer and sits next to him * Meredith follows David. * Jeyer mumbles in his sleep.. * David blinks as he finds the quarters and Indigo in them. ;P "Indi...what are you doing.." * Meredith sighs. * Aura just kind of watches Jeyer sleep <Narrator> The ship seems eerily quiet... It's heading towards the next island. * David frowns. * Indigo smiles. <Indigo> Resting! ^_^ <David> ....maybe she has the right idea...resting... <Meredith> ...Yeah... <Meredith> I don't see any ghosts...We might as well rest now that we have the chance... * Aura resists the urge to snuggle up next to Jeyer, and just kisses him softly..then runs off * David nods... <Meredith> Someone's gotta keep a lookout, though. <David> I could do it.. * Indigo climbs into the captain's bed and falls asleep. ^_^ <Meredith> No. You rest. I'll do it. * Aura looks around the boat.. <David> If you're sure... <Meredith> Positive. You've got enough on your mind. You'll need all the rest you can get. * David frowns a little but nods.. "Okay...but wake me if you're unsure of something.." <Meredith> Okay... <Meredith> Now go get some well earned sleep. ^_^ * David nods again.. "Oky.." * Aura finds the cargo hold hatch thing * David heads for the back of the ship, wanting to be alone.. * Aura pulls it open and crawls down inside the boat * Darin goes outside, and stands at the railing. * David takes off his tunic, bundles it into a pillow and lies down, clutching AmeShi to himself as he slowly goes to sleep.. * Meredith keeps a wary eye open for anything remotely wrong. <Narrator> An unearthly stench makes its way from the cargo hold <Meredith> ...? * Meredith sniffs. <Meredith> ...Geh, that could be a problem.. * Aura starts to choke and cough as she reaches the floor of the cargo hold * Meredith glances over at David, and just keeps an eye on the cargo hold. * David sleeps as if he's needed it very badly, a frown on his face.. * Darin turns around and looks at the cargo hold. * Jessica is with Darin. <Meredith> ...Everyone...Hmm... <Meredith> David needs sleep, but I have to investigate the cargo hold... * Aura covers her mouth and nose and blinks..looking around the cargo hold * Indigo is soundly sleeping in the captain's bed. ^_^ <Meredith> I need someone to come with me and investigate. <Jessica> I'll go wtih you, Meredith. You could use an experienced Magician on your side. <Narrator> The cargo hold is empty, save for three barrels of rotting fruits and anchovies... <Meredith> Thanks Jessica. :) <Meredith> ...Ah...that's it. :p * Jessica nods. * Meredith points at the barrels.... <Meredith> We're safe. * Aura gaaahgs and goes to check them anyway <Jessica> we could throw them overboard. <Meredith> Right. <Jessica> at least get rid of the smell. :P * Meredith picks up a barrel and hurls it overboard! <Narrator> The barrel of anchovies suddenly spills over the floor! <Meredith> ...Agggh crap. * Aura yelps and slips as the anchovies spill on her <Meredith> Oh well...I guess we'll just have to hold our noses the entire trip. <Jessica> I'll take care of that. * Darin goes down into the cargo hold "You ladies okay?" <Meredith> We're fine. <Jessica> I could burn them wtih my fire magic. * David curls up tighter, grimacing.. * Aura whimpers and stands up, but slips again * Aura crawls away from the anchovies and stands up, whimpering <Meredith> Everyone...I'll clean this up -_- You get some sleep! <Meredith> You'll need it. * Aura crawls up onto the deck and finds a corner.. * Aura whimpers..."i'm all anchovy-y" * Jessica grabs Darin and goes back upstairs and finds a room for the couple. * Darin frowns at Aura as he offers his hand to Jess. * David sleeps fitfully on the deck.. <Narrator> The ship makes no noise as it splashes through the calm river... * Aura sighs at Darin <Meredith> Everyone. <Meredith> Please.

Sleep. * Aura crawls away and hides in a corner.. <Meredith> I'll keep lookout. * Aura hides in a corner, whimpering about anchovies.. <Narrator> ===== Cut scene! ===== <Narrator> David sleeps restlessly... His thoughts wandering to Reisha(No shit). A large, grassy field, completely empty... David stands at one end, Reisha stands about 30 feet away... Both are staring at eachother... * David blinks.. "Reisha...?" * Reisha stares cooly at David, as if reading his thoughts.. a small breeze in the field playing with her blonde hair. <Reisha> David, why did you come here? * David steps forward... "Reisha....wha....this is a dream.." <David> ....you know why... * David clenches his fists.. <Reisha> Do you really want to risk everything... * David doesn't hesitate, quickly answering. "Yes! Yes, Reisha! I will risk everything to get you to come back!" * Reisha closes her eyes. "That doesn't sound like a good leader... It sounds more like.." <David> .... <Narrator> A breeze blowing over the grass suddenly stops... * David blinks and tenses.. "Wh.." <Reisha> Like a man... in love. <Reisha> But is love worth dieing for? It can be so fleeting.. <David> ....this isn't fleeting, Rei...I...I can't...stop thinking about you.. <David> You're....you're on my mind...all the time...I just....god, Rei...I love you...I know its not fleeting.. <Reisha> Maybe.. <Reisha> Maybe we are both crazy... * David tries to get closer to Reisha, almost afraid she'll disappear.. "Reisha...it can't end here....I can't let you go....I can't lose you....not now...not ever.." <Narrator> The grass fades away... Darkness surrounds them both now... * David glances around.. * Reisha 's form darkens... <Reisha> No, I'm already lost.. I always was... just give up on me... <David> .... Rei...? * David gets a determined look thats so seldom on his face..

"Stay...." <Reisha> Volcannon... * David blinks... <Reisha> He's the only thing that's real, here... * Reisha starts laughing.... * Tiernan appears behind Reisha in a an instant, giving David a self-satisifed smrik. <David> Wha.....no...! <Tiernan> Give up David. It's pointless. Pointless to change what's occurred. Give up. <David> I'll never give up!!! I'll never give up on her! On what the Shining Force exists for! You demon.....release Tiernan! * David narrows his eyes <Tiernan> Tiernan...? Ha ha ha ha HA HA HA! * Tiernan laughs! * David growls.. * Reisha fades back in, an aura of power around her. <Reisha> David.. just.. go away. Stop being a fool and save yourself. * Reisha raises ehr hand.. and blasts David with a surge of electricity. * Tiernan 's voice seems to gain a slight inhuman growl to it. "The little mortal form of Volcanon...? Him? Why, he's dust on the wind. Don't bother." * David cries out in pain <Narrator> == David is blasted into unconsciousness... He falls and everything in his dream dissapears in a flash. <Narrator> ===== End cut scene! ===== <Narrator> David awakens screaming! * David screams as loud as he can, bolting upwards, his hair plastered damply to his forehead and his body bathed in sweat <Meredith> AGH!

And something blowing in it... * David blinks and raises his hand to his ear.. "What..!" * Aura crawls out of the corner over to the edge of the boat <Narrator> The feeling suddenly dissapears... <Indigo> Now now....we all get bad pictures in our head sometime. You drink a glass of warm milk, and I'll tell Kara and Chamolo that you need a good sleeping spell. <Narrator> A big patch of wetness can be felt across Indigo's cheek suddenly... * David growls and slumps down onto the deck bonelessly.. <Meredith> Indigo...he's a friggin' teenager! Leave him alone! * Darin watches from a distance, feeling unable to help. <David> ....I...I won't give in....I won't....won't give up...on...on Reisha...or Tiernan....torture me...go on! <Indigo> You have no compassion Meredith!

Excuse my while I stuff glass into my ears so I don't hear your pathetic heroic babble. <Kodah> Empty words Zeon, and you know it <David> Can I help with the glass? Hey, here's a thought....if Tiernan can push you aside....surely we can. Think of it. * Tiernan 's body begins to glow orange, and mixes into the black aura. <Hans> This is NOT good!! o_O;;; * David tenses, teetering a bit in dizziness as pain hits him.. <Tiernan> Oh...trust me...He WON'T get past me again...not for long...anyway. <Aura> Zeon...you're so wonderfully dramatic...would you stop? its giving me a headache.. <Jessica> it can't be good.....*Whispers to Darin* Talk about the king of Melodrama. * David looks for the island... * Darin nods. * Tiernan 's body spasms as his body begins to shrink down, his legs turning into birds legs and his wings extending even further... <Kodah> ... <Hans> What the...?? <Jessica> O_O...he's turning into a bird... <Aura> what the hell <Tiernan> You haven't SEEN melodrama yet, kids! <Hans> I... is he...? <Aura> ha! are you trying to be Whitty!?! <Darin> What is he.....??? <Hans> He's turning into a bird form... <Jessica> now this is taking "having bird legs" a bit too literally. * David hugs Rei tighter against his aching body, tensed for movement.. * Tiernan body spasms again and his face begins to look like a bird's...! There is a flare that blinds you, and when it passes, you see Tiernan before you...as a huge black and red Phoenix O_o <Hans> A phoenix! <Darin> O_O * Kodah growls * Aura sighs.. <Jessica> O_O; <Hans> They look just like I was told when I was in school! * Tiernan gazes his eyes hatefully at Kodah. * David narrows his eyes... <Hans> But... I don't think I like this one! ^^; * Jessica whispers to Darin. "Should we try to fry this chicken?" <Tiernan> ~Now you shall die, halfling devil...~ * Aura tries to touch Jeyer again.. <Darin> ...... * Kodah gets ready to react, returning the hateful look <Jessica> KODAH LOOK OUT! * Tiernan races toward Kodah, catching him in his talons! <David> Kodah....! <Hans> KODAH! RUNNNN!!!! <Aura> kodah.. <Darin> Kodah! <Hans> Kodah!... * Kodah struggles against Zeon's vice-like grip! <Jessica> Kodah..... <Narrator> Aura's hands go through Jeyer once again... <Kodah> Damn you! <David> Damnit, no! <Narrator> Then Jeyer suddenly flares and dissapears in Aura's necklace * Aura blinks..."oh..my..god.." <Tiernan> ~Heh...Heh HEH HEH! That's right...FEEL my power...writhe in fear! That is the true cowardice of humanity! That is why I am triumphant and you're all going to be DEAD!~ * Aura looks down at her necklace... * David growls.. "Zeon..!" * Tiernan squeezes the life out of Kodah, and slashes him hard across the belly with his claws! <Hans> NO!!! * Aura gently runs a finger over the stone.."jeyer..?" * Hans curses himself for not being able to move and heal * * Kodah gurgles, helpless in Zeon's grasp <David> Someone hit him with a spell! <Hans> I CAN'T!!! HE'S OUT OF RANGE!!! <Tiernan> ~Heh...Hey...Little boy? Are you watching....? HEH HEH HEH! <Darin> ........ * David gently puts Rei down... * David draws AmeShi.. <Kodah> Tyr...don't you...dare give up... <Jessica> I can try... * Aura makes a large ball of ice..."tyr....Put him DOWN!!" * Darin reaches up as his SunStone starts to glow. * Reisha groans slightly.. * Jessica begins chanting. "Mercury, great celestial spirit of water and ice, let your power become my sword to defeat that which threatens me. FREEZE 2!" Jess then points her right hand to Tyr as blades of pure ice shoot forward impaling into their target. <Tiernan> ~Die, Kodah....Die.~ * Tiernan slashes him across the belly again! * David stumbles, eyes glazing with pain.. "Nnh....damnit....no..! Kodah!" * Aura throws the ball of ice at Tyr..."PUT HIM DOWN!!!" <Tiernan> ~Certainly.~ <Narrator> == Aura and Jessica cast Freeze Lv. 2 on Tiernan. The ice melts instantly, dealing no damage. * Tiernan drops Kodah from his grasp, now bloody and broken. <Jessica> O_O; * Kodah spasms, as his black blood pours down like rain * Aura snarls.. * Kodah lands in a very unnatural position <David> ..... * David growls.. <Jessica> Kodah....hang in there, friend. <Hans> Rrrg.... * Aura takes her dagger and steps up to Tyr... * Tiernan hits the ground and begins to morph back into his human form. <Darin> ... no... * David brings AmeShi forward, ready to strike.. * Hans slowly advances to where Kodah landed * * Jessica says a silent prayer to the godess as she points to Kodah. An aura of holy light surrounds Kodah and their wounds begin to close up. HEAL 1! * Aura stands in front of Tyr... * Jessica tries her best to heal Kodah. <Kodah> X_x <Narrator> == The heal spells fail. * David glances back at Reisha and then at Kodah... "Bastard...I'll make you pay..." * David crouches, gathering strength.. <Jessica> No one else is dying on my watch. == When Aura looks at Tyr, however...she ses that he's not the frightening version that is Zeon, but a wide, terrifed version that stares at Kodah... <Tiernan> Kodah...? <Tiernan> NO! * Hans puts his right hand on Kodah's forehead * * Hans begins to charge a spell * * David pauses, blinking at Tyr... * Aura blinks at Tyr.."do you remmeber anything..?" <Hans> I don't think this'll work... <Narrator> == Healing energy is negated. * Tiernan rushes to Kodah and shakes him tears falling down his face. "Kodah! Wake up!" * Aura puts her hand on Tyr shoulder.. * David untenses, sheathing his sword...he bends down and places his hands on Reisha's stomach... ".... ¤Heal..." <Jessica> What in the world is going on here? * Kodah wobbles in Tyr's arms like a wet ( and bloody) noodle * Hans notices his healing spell not working * Blast... <Narrator> == Jessica can see that Tyr's eyes aren't white, but normal looking. <Narrator> == Healing energy is negated. <Tiernan> ...Kodah...no...I...I killed you... * Hans feels Kodah's pulse, hoping for the better... * * David growls and gathers Rei into his arms protectively, heading over to Kodah and Tyr.. <Jessica> Tyr? Tiernan? <Tiernan> ~Heh heh heh...~ * Aura gently puts her hands on Tyr's shoulders.. <Jessica> Oh great...not again... <Narrator> == You can hear Zeon's voice in all your minds, even though it still seems like Tyr's in control of the body. <Darin> ..... * Reisha 's heart is beating.. David can feel it against his chest. But she's otherwise out cold. <Narrator> Kodah has no pulse. <Tiernan> ~That's right Tyr...You murdered him...~ <Tiernan> No...No... <David> Damnit....Kodah.... * Aura growls..."you didn't kill him Tyr..Zeon did.." <Jessica> manipulative sonofabitch.... <Tiernan> ~You...Aren't just a burden anymore...you're a killer...~" <Tiernan> No... <David> ....Tiernan..... <Jessica> Zeon killed Kodah, Tyr....it wasn't you. <Tiernan> ~You don't deserve to live anymore...Disseapear....~ <Hans> Try! It's not your fault! He was in control! Ignore him! <David> ...no..! Tiernan..! That's what he wants..! <Darin> Don't listen to him, Tyr! * Aura takes Kodah from Tyr.."You didn;t do this Tyr..dont beleive him.." * Tiernan backs away from the body, shaking. <Tiernan> ~He is dead and YOUR hands were the ones that choked the life out of him. YOU did this...! Dissapear!~ <Jessica> Tyr, you're strong enough to fight this. That wasn't you that killed Kodah. It was Zeon....you have to believe me. * Aura gently closes Kodah's eyes and places him on the deck neatly.. <Aura> Tyr...you didnt do this! * Tiernan closes his eyes and nods his head slowly in a 'yes'. <David> No....damnit...no.... * Tiernan body jerks suddenly! <Darin> YOU didn't do this, Tyr! This was all Zeon's doing! DON'T LISTEN TO HIM! <Jessica> DAMMIT, TYR...DON'T DO IT. <Aura> Tyr...please.. * Tiernan opens his eyes and they're white once again. "Problem solved." * Hans is still testing Kodah for a pulse... * <Tiernan> ~Now just one more left...~ <Darin> Oh Goddess no...... * Aura growls... <Jessica> Oh shit...not again. * David growls at Zeon, holding Reisha protectively.. * Kodah bleeds with great skill <Tiernan> Now that Volcanon and Tyr are shoved in the back...ready to die like the weaklings they are...there's only one thing left to do... * Reisha shivers in David's grasp. "..save....self..." * Aura growls..."you ass.." <Tiernan> ...And that's to kill the rest of you! <Hans> C'mon... Pulse... PULSE!!! * David glances down at Reisha before glaring up at Tiernan... * Tiernan throws a bolt of power into the ship! * Hans punches the floor * <David> ! <Darin> O_O;; * Aura lunges at Tyr, dagger in hand.. <Jessica> O_O; * David leans his face down, kissing Rei's forehead softly as he feels the ship shake from the power.. "Hold on, Rei...hold on...!" * Darin pulls Jessica close to him.. <Tiernan> Enjoy infinity! I'm off to take Arc Valley...and claim it as my own! * Aura slashes at Tyr <Jessica> Honestly, I think it's best if we SWIM FOR IT! * David growls and races for the railing, trying to get the bearings of the island.. <Tiernan> Oh, and Jeyer....I know you can hear me, wherever you are... <Narrator> The bolt of power thrown at the shield detonates the ghost shield! A large explosion ensues, disintegrating the whole ship! The Shining Force is blown out of the ship! <David> NNhhh!!! <Narrator> Everyone falls unconscious as they hit the water <Hans> AAAGHHH -- * SPLASH! * * Darin screams * Aura quickly wraps her hand around her necklace just before hitting the water.. * Kodah sinks quite nicely <Tiernan> I just wanted to say thank you for sending Tyr away from the Shining Force in the first place!
