Es 31

ES - Session 31 //
Last we saw our variable group, they had all earned their share of Tiamat's power, and then were taken back to Etherside by Lord Valefor. They found themselves on top of the central summoning circle of the Cerulean HQ, and it seemed like Lord Valefor was in Tiamat's chamber. Erlinj and Lord Bahamut now were about to draw him from where he was
RSL-4N hangs back with Namtar and Rena.
RenaRaveneos doesn't mess, she has no clue what's going on with this…
Namtar simply waits quietly.
RSL-4N seems to be…melting a bit?
Suddenly, everything starts to shake, it's visible the massive energy flow that arcs around in bright flows or waterlike ethereal substance raising from the ground. Suddenly, a scream of agony and a loud roar as the energy flows strike over the two summoner wannabes. And soon, a massive energy explosion which reveals Lord Valefor, except his color is wildly different, his feathers are a blackened version of their previous color, and the flows of energy arc from his wings and into the ground like chains
Lord Bahamut it tossed back and stands back up, Erlinj, however, does not
Namtar rushes to check on Erlinj. _-_ Stupid lizard.
Lord Valefor: "You can't stop me now. With the power i've got, i'll finish you all right here, and then when i'm done draining the power I will show you all the power of my bloodline!"
RenaRaveneos: "We won't give you a chance to do that!"
Erlinj is… Not in a good state, that energy caused a serious intability in his physical structure. He's not conscious but if he's given rest he'll recover, eventually. Might take a very long time, however
Lord_Valefor flies a bit higher "Let's see if you can do that, kid!"
JayM: //Begin Combat! //
JayM: //Battle order: Rena:29 Lord Valefor:26 RSL-4N:22 Lady Phoenix:21 Namtar:18 Lord Bahamut:17 //
JayM: //Rena! //
RenaRaveneos calls upon soem of the power of Tiamt protecting her allies! Tiamt's Love!
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: everyone is Protect/Shell/Haste(4)
JayM: //Protect/Shell/Haste to all! //
Lord Valefor closes his wings, as a powerful gust of wind picks up
JayM: //Goes off later //
JayM: //RSL! //
RSL-4N focusses, building up power in something…small. (Slow 14)
[OOC] RSL-4N: Goes off at 6
JayM: //No, 8. 22-14=8 //
[OOC] RSL-4N: …oh, right. Well, still probably after everyone. >_>
Lady Phoenix flies up and lands behind Lord Bahamut "Time to show him something now" (delay to 17)
JayM: //Namtar! //
Namtar frowns. And then lowers his hood, taking Erlinj's hat and placing it on his head. "Today you die, Arkais. Your madness has done more than enough to ruin the world." He raises his hands and a cloud of heavy black vapour pours out of his sleeves and over the enemy. [Cursed Mist]
JayM: //Roll that! //
Namtar rolled 5d10+364 and got 1, 1, 5, 4, 6 ( Total: 381.0 ) **
Namtar rolled 4d100 and got 92, 83, 40, 18 ( Total: 233 )
Lord Valefor coughs "Aigh… Heh… The Cursed Mist, signature move of your bloodline. No matter, it cannot affect me. Or should I say, none of it's most powerful effects can affect me"
JayM: //Venom(4) sticks //
Namtar smiles grimly. "I think you underestimate exactly what I am planning on doing to you, Arkais. I will take you apart piece at a time if I have to. You will become just another specimen."
Lord Bahamut roars, and from the sky falls a gigantic spear, landing in front of him "RAAAWR! Here we go, Phoenix! Let's show him what we spent the last months working on!" he jumps up, his and Lady Phoenix's size returning to their gigantic forms. He grabs the spear as they both fly up high in the skies
JayM: //RSL! //
[OOC] RSL-4N: If Zombie didn't work, this is probably useless. I apologize in advance for the flavortext anyway. ;)
RSL-4N tosses an innocuous-looking red and white sphere at Lord Valefor. Up, up, up it spins, end over end, breaking open on impact…
RSL-4N rolled 1d100 and got 1 ( Total: 1 )
[OOC] RSL-4N: 141, EVA CoS of Stone(U).
JayM: //Yeah, that isn't working, sadly //
[OOC] Namtar: You need a Master Ball to catch Arkais. Sorry.
[OOC] RSL-4N: Yeah, regular one just doesn't work even with a crit. T_T
JayM: //Round ends! //
[OOC] RSL-4N: Had to try, though.

JayM: //There we go //
JayM: //Rena! //
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: hrm, power up…magic up…
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: or SPirit Up…
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: What ya guys want?
[OOC] RSL-4N: SPR is probably not too useful if he's I: Most Statuses. MAG Up would help Namtar; POW Up would help me.
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: well I have two tueb ad Namtar goes first so…
[OOC] RSL-4N: Yeah. My first one won't matter anyway.
[OOC] RSL-4N: Damage-wise, that is.
RenaRaveneos starts sharing her best advice of magical tactics.
JayM: //Magic Up to all! //
From up high in the sky comes what looks like a giant fireball. As it comes closer you can see, Lord Bahamut coming crashing down at an incredible speed with a searing red aura
Then, as he slams down on Lord Valefor the force of the impact is so overwhelming you all are tossed to the ground. The very ground shakes, you can hear the sound of the very island suffering damage. However, as the dust settles, you can see Lord Valefor holding Lord Bahamut's spear with his beak, as if it was nothing
Lord Valefor: "Silly boy. I was the creator of the Dragon Jump, even augmented with your canary's fire sacrifice you can't use it against me"
Lord Bahamut seems really desperate at this
JayM: //However, to your advantage, Lord Valefor is now distracted, thus, Unaware //
JayM: //RSL! //
RSL-4N engages analysis system and scans Lord Valefor. (Bestiary)
JayM: //Lord Valefor - Level 52 Arcana/Aerial Boss - HP: 5298/6240, MP: 1456/1456, I: Fatal, Transform, Seal, Charm, Stop - Slowly draining away Tiamat's power, he cannot use his full power thanks to that //
JayM: //Namtar! //
[OOC] Namtar: Unaware you say? >_> <_<>_>
[OOC] RSL-4N: Uh-huh
[OOC] RSL-4N: Left it for you, knowing what his weak & strong points are
JayM: //Yes, unaware //
Namtar rips the sword off his back and lunges forward, black flames igniting along the blade as he leaps up and delivers a splitting slash to the underside of Valefors beack, just below the spear-blade. [Darkside]
Namtar rolled 3d12*3+209*3 and got 7, 2, 11 ( Total: 687.0 )
He takes the blow without flinching!
Lord Valefor then looks at Rena "You're liking your power? Taste what power really is!" he dashes forward and vanishes so fast he starts moving, you can see his movements thanks to the energy flows as he lands hit after hit on Rena, landing over a thousand hits in a span of seconds
JayM rolled 1d100 and got 14 ( Total: 14 )
Also rolled 4d10+320 and got 5, 4, 6, 10 [Total: 345.0 (High), Avg: 6.25]

JayM: //345, Armor Wind damage //
RenaRaveneos takes a significant amount of damage! "Arrgh!"
[OOC] Namtar: gogogo Protect.
JayM: //Rena, again! //
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: 359/525 260/260
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: well, I could go for the nuke…
RenaRaveneos: //take off a little more than a sixth of his life… )) //
[OOC] RSL-4N: Don't worry about powering me up yet.
RenaRaveneos: "How about you try a taste of it yourself!"
* She calls further upon the power of Tiamat charging up a mighty attack in both her boths and unleasing it at the bird!
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: …so, Ninja, does Magic up on the character effect the Capture ability?=`>_O= [OOC] Namtar: yes. [OOC] RenaRaveneos: alright. **RenaRaveneos rolled 5d12*1.5+1170*‘`1.5 and got 8, 5, 5, 8, 6 ( Total: 1803.0 ) **
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: yeah forgot about that, so more like almost a third of his Helath.
Lord Valefor screeches in pain "Aaaauhg… Heh… Hehehe…. HAHAHAHA! So that’s it, isn't it? So wonderful!"
RenaRaveneos: "…That's just th begining!"
Lord Bahamut forfeits the fancy techniques, doing a short jump and swiping at Lord Valefor! He, however, misses by a hair's breadth "Don't try, boyscout, I know your moves better than yourself"
Lady Phoenix is clearly quite hurt, and uses this chance to heal herself and the party back up
JayM rolled 3d10+348 and got 7, 7, 1 ( Total: 363.0 )
JayM: //That's 363 healing for everyone //
JayM: //RSL! //
That broken-open ball lying uselessly on Lord Valefor's wing? RSL spears it with a silvery thread of nanites, breaking it down and repurposing it, sending the bits through the enemy's skin and seeking out his neural structure to seize it up.
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: 525/525 260/260
RSL-4N rolled 2d100 and got 64, 37 ( Total: 101 )
Lord Valefor growls "That's it, now it's the time to take you all down once and for all!" Berserk(6)!
JayM: //Namtar! //
RSL-4N: "Override only partially effective."
Namtar makes an exasperated noise in the back of his throat. "its a shake you couldn't over-ride his vocal cords. The Hades pulls a couple of small colored stones from his pouch, combining them in a small mortar and unleashing the results on Valefor. [Mix: Fire and Ice Gems. Result: Hazardous Shell]

RSL-4N sends another nanite-needle Lord Valefor's way, trying to finish the job.
RSL-4N rolled 2d100 and got 87, 68 ( Total: 155 )
JayM: //No-go //
JayM: //Namtar! //
Namtar dips into his pouches once again, emerging with a black stone and a blue stone. One might almost think he's rather bothered by this whole scene. [Mix, Shadow and Water gems. Result: Tidal Wave]
Namtar rolled 6#2d6*1.25+84*1.25(1) and got 3, 6 ( Total: 116.25 )

Lady Phoenix then finishes fixing herself up utilizing a fire spell. Yes, she did spend that much HP on that last move
Lord Bahamut starts charging up his own breath attack
Lord Valefor then roars and goes to take down…
JayM: //Targets: RSL //
JayM rolled 1d100 and got 9 ( Total: 9 )
Also rolled 4d8*1.5+175*1.5 and got 4, 4, 2, 4 [Total: 283.5 (Low), Avg: 3.50]

JayM: //Thank god he cannot crit, ne? //
JayM: //Rena! //
RSL-4N has a few deep rends in him - which slowly puff back out, even regenerating the paint.
RenaRaveneos starts charging up her breath Attack agian unleashing another Blast of power at the Valefeor!
RenaRaveneos rolled 5d12*1.5+1170*1.5 and got 2, 8, 2, 2, 12 ( Total: 1794.0 )
The massive force of the attack is enough to send Lord Valefor reeling back… "Hahahahaha… That is it, it's enough for this show" the energy flows finally finish entering on Valefor's body "Now! A final departure gift for you before I leave" he wings his hair forward making a runic circle appear "Aeon Breaker!" he shouts as he points both wings forward, causing a massive energy blast to fly towards the party
Lord Bahamut and Lady Phoenix quickly jump in front of the party, but even them are not able to hold back all the force of the spell, there is no pain to be felt by the party as they're hit by the wisps of the spell, but they notice that suddenly they are extremely wounded, as if those parts had just vanished. It is now that with a hearty laugh that Lord Valefor takes to the skies, leaving you to your own devices, nearly unable to move
Lord Bahamut and Lady Phoenix are both equally wounded. Lady Phoenix even passes out
RSL-4N: "…"
RenaRaveneos pants. "Dammit…I thought we had him…"
RSL-4N: "Counter-trap activated."
Namtar slumps over, leaning on his sword fur support. "No such luck, apparently. Ah well. He can't run forever."
Lord Bahamut: "What is he… Hoping to do?"
RSL-4N moves almost fluid-like, going over Bahamut, Phoenix, Rena, and Namtar, trying to restore at least part of what was lost. (IM Healing Wind - or 4*Healing Wind, if you wish it rolled)
RenaRaveneos: "uhg, I feel like I've lost part of my body I didn't even know I had…"
Lord Bahamut: "Regardless… I'll hunt that imbecile to the depths of hell if I have to"
The healing is enough for the party, but very far from enough for Lord Bahamut
Lord Bahamut: "But I need to… Tend to Phoenix first"
he tries moving "Or… Maybe myself"
Namtar: "Finish what he has stared, I imagine. He's stolen what he could from Tiamat, he doubtless plans to turn that power against Etherside in some fashion."
RenaRaveneos: "We weren't able to defeat him here.. so we are going to need a plan…"
she looks over at him. "You actually are 'Boy Scout'?"
Lord Bahamut: "Hah… Yes. What he used to call me back then, because that's what I was…"
RenaRaveneos: "Does that mean…He actually is the Lord Valefeor…that he descrated his own body?"
Lord Bahamut: "At any rate…"
he looks around, and sits down… On the ceiling of the Cerulean building. Yes, of course that's the only thing big enough "No, that thing was a fake"
Lord Bahamut: "We need to tend for Phoenix and Erlinj… Namtar, can you do that?"
Namtar nods. "I should be able to, yes."
Lord Bahamut: "As soon as you're… Done. We need to get moving"
RSL-4N: "Inquiry as to ramifications if Aeon-enslaving force were to learn that leader is Aeon line."
RenaRaveneos is trying to think this over… "Is Phantom Arkais actually the same as Lord Phantom then?"
Lord Bahamut: "Yes, that's dad"
RenaRaveneos: "… He's obviously trying to trick them into serving him… Maybe… We could convince Fluffy in my double to help us…"
RSL-4N: "Inquiry as to possibility of utilizing greed-class corruption in low and mid range Raptors."
RenaRaveneos loosk at Bahamut. "How do you do that thing where you can look human?"
Lord Bahamut: "Maybe… I don't know how they'd react, that isn't really my specialty"
RenaRaveneos: "I could probably work on that actually… but I'll need to know more about the operation."
Lord Bahamut: "It takes a lot of practice. You need to focus all of your energy within a space smaller than your human body"
Namtar tends to Erlinj first. "I do not see why the Raptors would betray him. He is pushing for the same thing they are, to all appearances. The complete and utter enslavement of the Aeon race.s"
RSL-4N: "Lord Valefor is logical enslavement target."
RSL-4N: "High priority of enslavement easily justifiable without significant processing ability."
RenaRaveneos: "Well, he's slowly turning the all into espers and he himself is an Aeon Lord…"
Namtar: "Eventually, maybe. But why turn on him until the rest of the world has been brought to heel? he's their strongest weapon at this point."
Erlinj at this moment can't be healed with medicine… As for his state, his body has been disrupted, as in, he could pretty well dissolve to nothingness as-is. However, he's not THAT bad, he's stable, it'll just take a long time until his body repairs itself
Namtar sighs. "Foolish Salamander." He draws a few blood-runes on Erlinj's body and picks him up, carrying him inside. "I shall return for Lady Phoenix in a moment."
RSL-4N: "Potential reasons for priority of turning include suspicion of betrayal, cementing of loyalty of weapon, and perceived ease of achievement of item relative to enslavement of any other Lord grade unit."
Lord Bahamut: "I don't think that he'd be as dumb as that. He has thousands of years of experience, he cannot be fooled that easely. But he's been behaving very strangely as of it late"
RenaRaveneos: "Some of them maybe turn on him just for manipulating them…That's how humans are…"
RSL-4N: "…"
RSL-4N looks at Lord Bahamut. "Inquiry as to details of unusual behavior. Specific inquiry as to probability that Lord Valefor‘ is under external influence."
RenaRaveneos sees him walk off. she turns to Bahamut. "errr…anyways…focus on a point smaller than my human body… I guess I won’t know untill I try."
Lord Bahamut: "He's been angrier, more irritable, paranoid"
RenaRaveneos tries focusing her power on, a vaguely human-rena shaped space, well atleast what she'd like to think a human-Rena shaped space is like, which is probably generally a bit smaller…
RSL-4N: "This is exploitable."
[OOC] Namtar: OH EXPLOITABLE!
JayM: //Very hard-to-pass MAG check, Rena //
RenaRaveneos rolled 1d100 and got 34 for a total of 34**
JayM: //That isn't working //
RenaRaveneos frowns. "Um, is it more like…blasting stuff with energy bretah…o..um…?"
Lord Bahamut: "It just takes patience and training"
RSL-4N: "Primary powers of unit Lord Valefor are twofold: personal and from command of Raptors. Amplify paranoia of unit Lord Valefor and amplify greed of Raptor units, then set powers against one another. Expected minimum result: significant diminishment of total available power."
RenaRaveneos: "Hrm, I think you mean…if we reveal him to really be the Lord Valefoer his followers will become suspious of him?"
Namtar puts Erlinj in a edical bed to rest and returns to the summoning circle to tend to Phoenix.
Lady Phoenix has a very debilited lifeforce. Remember your Darkside? She just now pulled a move with triple drain rate, plus the Aeon Breaker caused severe damage. She'll need serious tending, or you could bet on her rebirth power
RSL-4N: "Affirmative. Additional: trick unit Lore Valefor into perceiving threats from Raptor units where none exists. Manufacture self-fulfilling prohecy."
Lord Bahamut: "We could try… But now that he has Tiamat's power, it might not take long, at all, before he tries something drastic"
Namtar purses his lips. . o O (No, I suppose it would be frowned on if I just finished the job and let her rebirth here.) He reaches into his pouch and fiches out some medical implements, patching her together as best he can on the spot.
JayM: //It takes a bit of work, but you can mend her pretty well. She'll just need rest now //
RenaRaveneos: "Yeah, we likely need to do soemthing to cause an immediate reaction. He's likely seeing the Raptors as far more expendable now and may not concern himself with any possible uprisings.
RSL-4N: "Inquiry as to possibility of recruiting other Aeon Lord units, now that drain on unit Tiamat's power probably perceivable to said other units."
RenaRaveneos: "if we just charge in the front and attack head on though, We'll experience a repeat of today…"
Lord Bahamut: "For now… We'll need some rest first, so that we're in combat capacity. Then, we'll be able to do something. As for the other Aeon Lords, they'll be more than willing to help, anyone touches Tiamat and they got to deal with us all"
RSL-4N: "Inquiry as to optimum strategy of rallying other Aeon Lord units."
Lord Bahamut: "Leave that to me. They'll be ready within minutes… That is, once I can move properly"
RenaRaveneos nods. "Gathering allies first does sound like a good idea."
RSL-4N sees if there is anything further he can do to aid Lord Bahamut.
Namtar: "Yes, yes. I'll be with you in a moment."
RenaRaveneos: "So, Dragons wear that polish stuff as armour?"
Namtar finishes patching up Lady Phoenix and heads over to start taking care of Lord Bahamut. "She will be fine now. She just needs rest."
[OOC] JayM: When you're ready to go to the next scene, tell me. Though, i'm expecting you all to at least rest a bit between scenes, eh
Lord Bahamut's wounds are very… Unique. You should probably know by now that the Aeon's life-force isn't exactly 100% true life-force, but rather, closer to mana than true life force, a sort of magical lifeforce. It's as if a type of dispelling was used to inflict those wounds, thus, it's as if his body started to shatter like glass. What he needs right now is something to help speed up the natural recovery of life-force and magical force
Lord Bahamut: "It helps strenghten the scales, but it's only useful up to a point, isn't that useful for younglings since their scales are already at top strenght"
[OOC] RenaRaveneos: I'm sure you'll tell me when it's tiem 4 super powa forging and buying new gear so I think I'm fine.
[OOC] JayM: Yeah, soon as we're out of this scene I got one more and then we'll give you guys some free time to prepare and then onwards to the final stages
RenaRaveneos: "Ah, like me then. Well, I won't worry about it for now then and just rest and practice that focusing thing…"
Namtar hops down off of Bahamut. "Now, if everyone is done getting themselves mutilated by semi-omnipotent beings for the day, I could use a chance to sit down and patch myself up."
RenaRaveneos heads off to… probably find a place to rest…probably not her room since it's all human sized and she's not anymore.
The rest of the day goes by quietly, but there is tension everywhere. The Cerulean Island is noticeably trashed thanks to Bahamut's and Phoenix's Dragon Sacrifice, but nothing that cannot be fixed. It's about five in the morning, the sun haven't even raised yet, when you're awakened by a loud roar, so loud one could hear it across the entire Etherside. The ground shakes and a massive burst of wind buffets you no matter where you are
RenaRaveneos looks around and rushes out. "What was that!?"
The moment you look at what is going on outside you can see in the distance… It looks like Tiamat, except for the strange coloring, an ever-changing prysmatic rainbow. It is gigantic, so huge it's heads pierce the cloudline
RenaRaveneos: "WHAT IS THAT!!!"
Lord Bahamut and Lady Phoenix are already outside, and back to full power, seems like a night of sleep is more or less all they needed to have their bodies mend themselves "… He didn't…"
Namtar: "On the contrary, Lord. It looks like Lord Valefor is trying to establish himself as the next Tiamat."
Lady Phoenix: "I think… He created an Aeon using Tiamat as a base… Namtar could be right"
Namtar: "I did not in fact think that was possible. Hm. This is most disconcerting."
Soon, there is a shadow covering you, as you look up you see Lord Ark right above you. Soon, emerging from the seas close to the Cerulean is Lord Alexander
RSL-4N is nowhere to be seen - at the moment.
Lord Ark: "It is possible, it seems. But only because Valefor himself is at the core of that monstrosity"
Namtar: "Fascinating."
Lord Bahamut: "… That's IT. That's our chance to take him down once and for all"
Namtar raises an eyebrow.
Lord Bahamut: "If we can reach him directly, then he won't have nearly as much power as he should, because he's focusing it all on that… Monster"
RenaRaveneos: "So, We have to go inside the giant Tiamat he made?"
Namtar: "I trust I do not in fact need to point out how ridiculous of an idea that is in our current state and with our current resources."
As Lord Ark transforms into Knight form, it also lands into dry land basically all the other Lord whose size he could carry. From the seas also emerge the head of Lord Jormungand "I thought of you as smarter, Bahamut. You know we cannot pierce it's defenses as is" says Lord Hades
Lord Bahamut: "Not as ridiculous… We can send you inside, if we use the Galaxy Zodiark"
RenaRaveneos: "!!! Wait!"
RenaRaveneos: "Tiamat told me we are not to use Zodiark…"
RenaRaveneos: "That it'll bring great calamity…"
Lord Bahamut: "I know of the power of Zodiark… I was there, I was part of it, but this isn't going to be like it. I have spend thousands of years researching it, and with the differences it should be safe for anything outside it's range, hopefully"
Lord Bahamut: "But you can tell me, eternal slavery or death? Which would you prefer?"
Namtar: "I trust this will work somewhat better than the last large-thing-from-another-world you summoned to fight your little brother?"
RenaRaveneos: "If it's just me, the choice is obvious…but I can't make that desicion for everyone…"
Lord Bahamut: "Yes, it will. This is a power that not even Mother could handle by herself"
Namtar: "… And you're going to use it?"
Lord Hades: "I suppose you do have plan on how to execute the Zodiark without Tiamat AND Valefor?"
RenaRaveneos: "No, All of them are. Zodiark is the power when they all come together…"
Namtar clearly needs to STOP brainsharing with his Lord.
Lord Bahamut: "Either that, or we let him win. Remember, he now holds the power of Mother, we need something that can break through them"
Lord Hades: "Yes… I have a plan. It will work, worry not. For the power of Tiamat, I have a replacement… For Valefor, too"
Namtar: "I would look around for Lord Phantom, but that would be an exercise in futility."
Lord Phantom appears behind Namtar "I think that my son is starting to loose it, them both. But I can't see any other ways around. If you can, I urge you to tell them quick before something catastrophic happens
Namtar pinches the bridge of his nose. "I think you have all gone mad. Unfortunately I lack any sort of sane counterplan, so it looks like we shall proceed with this…Zodiark method."
Lord Alexander: "So be it…"
with that, Lord Alexander steps up on dry land, and Lord Ark transforms once again on airship mode, docking with Lord Alexander in a way that it forms a sort of giant gun. You can see now and in the distance Lord Jormungand sneaking himself out of the earth, if you could see all of Etherside you'd see a giant runic circle formed by it's coils
The most eager Lord make their way into Lord Alexander, the saner of them hesitate… "May whatever gods exist somewhere protect us…" says Lord Hades before he makes his way in
RenaRaveneos: "I going to have faith in everyone. To protect this world and everyone in it…"
RSL-4N carefully does NOT remark, "{Protect yourselves for once}", hidden as he is on Rena's back juuust in case it would help.
Lord Bahamut scoops up the party and takes them up to the very tip of the 'gun', that is the bow of Lord Ark "We'll open the way, and by adding some teleport magic, you'll end up inside"
Namtar: "…"
RenaRaveneos: "What should we do once we get…in there?"
Namtar: "You are… shooting us… at that *thing*?!"
Lord Bahamut: "Find him, and destroy him, that is it"
Namtar: "This is your brilliant plan?"
Lord Hades appears in the place "The concotion is ready, let me watch the fireworks from the front row" he goes over to Namtar "Don't discuss with him… Maybe that might work, even though I am sure it won't"
Lord Hades also hands him his blade "Here, this might be of use"
Lord Hades then takes some steps back, resting against the railing
Namtar -_- "As you wish, my Lord." He takes the blade reverntly. "Hopefully I am in a condition to return this to you later."
Lord Bahamut sets himself in place "Have faith, I know precisely what I am going to do" he hods on two handles up front and places his feet on a support. Then, he puts on a type of… Headset?
RenaRaveneos: "…Why do I get the feeling he's enjoying this… and why does that make me more nervous…"
Namtar: "You're learning."
Lord Bahamut closes his eyes… "Ready for it, Kid? In fact, I am too. On your count" then, he opens up his mouth… There is a massive energy buildup within… Everywhere your senses can feel. After a few moments, in front of Bahamut's mouth there is such a powerful sphere of energy that reality around it starts to shatter
Bahamut . o O (Please… Let this work without the Focus Circle…)
Namtar: //. o O (We are going to die.) //
RenaRaveneos: //. o O (I have gone completely insane.) //
RenaRaveneos: "3…2…1… Fire?"
Suddenly, from behind you, you can see Erlinj standing on top of the highest building of Lord Ark "Idiot -_-" he says to himself. He nocks and arrow in his bow and pulls it back, a runic circle appear in front of it, and it leaves more circles in the air as it flies
RSL-4N: //. o O (Enjoyment circuit allowed to engage.) //
Then, Lord Bahamut unleashes the full power that he has gathered, it hits straight the series of runic targets that Erlinj's arrow left, the massive and uncontrolled energy blast transforms into an incredibly powerful massive energy beam, it vaporizes the terrain it goes through, the seas are divided in half and it impacts on the fake Tiamat
The party then feels an intense energy rush… And then everything vanishes… //
