The Post-3.1 Game

[Risp_old]

<i>(*)This is a continuation from a storyline that appeared in the third person thread, for all who don't know. For a quick recap-

Xion fled to Ragol, and Strato followed him with a team of peeps.

Lem_Gambino got turned to stone by Rspss Fr, but in his last words he pleaded to Lou Narr to help, and destroyed Rspss Fr's stronghold. In the Shadowrealm, Beth plans to save L_G. She gets him out of his cage, and is now hiding outside Rspss Fr's wrecked fortress, but has yet to break the stone spell.

Rspss Fr and his ally Niz the Cyber Lord now must try to get out the moon and shatter Lem_Gambino before he can be saved and resume his risky practice of bending time with magic, and then find a way to get to Strato and help him.

Iso just sunk the continent L_G is on. His motives are unclear, but he just disappeared. Watch it, though. He will probably come back soon.

(*)The format for this is pretty much just like a Tales of the Tavern Thread. People can join, as long as they don't enter during anything like a battle sequence, and they have good enough spelling and grammar.

(*)And now, for my opening portion.</i>

Rspss Fr takes stock of his situation. He has only a handful of peep soldiers under his command, along with Niz. Niz tells him she activated the stronghold's atmospheric generators, so they have breathable air here, but the generators won't last. They would have at most several hours before the generators gave out. And Rspss Fr is fully aware that he will be attacked, in this moment of weakness. The peep soldiers he has are not enough. He will have to get more support. Niz says that if she can get to one of the transports she can activate the robot soldiers in it, and get support from the hacker supervisor. Rspss Fr hopes that will be enough. "Lets go, team!"

<i>(Oh, and L_G? Lets just say the stone spell is a really difficult to cure one, for literary purposes.)</i>

EDIT- fixed formatting

[Radium]

I can't tell if it's a rip off of 3.1 or the Third Person Thread... oh well, either way, it's good to know I inspire such chaos.

[Risp_old]

Xion suggested the name.

[Lem_Gambino]

Actually, Beth was the one to rescue L_G. She is in the Shadow Realm trying to find a cure. Also, I didn't destroy the base completely; only the Spell Magifier Ray (or whatever it's called) and a small portion of the base.

Beth was concerned. A petrification spell was hard enough to undo, but if it was magified by such advanced techology; it would be near impossible to reverse...
"How is he, Nurse Joy?" asked Beth as she watched Nurse Joy exit the ER.
Joy shook her head. "It's not good. L_G's spirit is intact, but the spell was too complicated...I'm not sure if he'll recover."
Beth swore under her breath. "There must be a way...Of course! the Dragonballs!"
"Excuse me?" asked a confused Nurse Joy. "I'll explain later! I've got to find Jeanie!"

Elsewhere, Jeanie and her platoon were waiting for something to happen. They were getting bored. Just then, Beth's thoughts flooded Jeanie's mind. 'We've got a problem,' she said. 'The spell is too complicated to reverse, but if we could find the Dragonballs-'
'Stop,' replied Jeanie. 'Did you say Dragonballs? They don't exist! What are you suggesting?'
'I'm suggesting you guys get back here ASAP, unless you want another earthquake to tear this universe apart.' said an irritated Beth.
'...Alright then, I'll open a portal to West City for you, but I'm staying here just in case.'
With that, Jeanie warped back, leaving her platoon behind. She reluctantly opened a portal for Beth and her group, then started to leave when she stopped and said, "I hope you know what you're doing," then warped back to the moon base. "Of course I do,' Beth grumbled. "I don't waste my time like some people I know." She and her group then stepped thorugh thte portal.

[Strato]

<i>You created the anime convention of the century</i>

Strato lead his troops down the forest path until he came across a small town. Technologically wise it was about the equivilent of back at home. Strato came to a large gate. A watch tower yelled in a long dead language "Bonjour, votre fromage est tout Ã(-) fait grand mais votre truite est celle du mal. Vous pouvez entrer si vous prenez 16 carottes." the gaurd said holding out a bag of carrots. Strato took a random amount counting out 16 in his hand. The gaurd opened the massive iron gate.

Strato stood on the motorized pathway, as he wound around the area he came to a throne room. Sitting in a large chair there was a 20 foot tall Frog. "Bonjour, vous aiment quelques conserves au vinaigre ? Mon profil est fâché, ainsi nous devons rejoice!!!1 j'avoir beaucoup d'un travail pour vous mais d'abord vous devez tuer Xion. Je vous donnerai $3.50. Je joindrai votre cause si vous me donnez une chèvre espagnole." It uttered.

TO BE CONTINUED!

[Risp_old]

Rspss Fr walked amoung the wreckage of his stronghold. He looked around. He seemed to be where the barracks was; the ground was sticky. He walked on. North of the barracks was the spaceport, and there some of Niz's ships should have survived. He motioned behind him, and his squad came up. So far... so good...

[Xion]

<i>You forgot another key part of my story. I'll recap it for you.</I>

"Day Three..." Xion mumbles to himself. "Or is it day four?" Xion always loses track of time within the seabed base. "No matter. I must get to his cage." Xion turns the corner to see five Delbiters in a room. "Well, won't this be fun..." Xion says, hugging the corner of the wall out of sight of the delbiters. Xion runs around the corner and bursts into the room. All five turn to look at him, and Xion jams his staff into the ground. A small tremor...getting larger...Now the entire room is shaking. The ground splits in five places, and the Delbiters fall through as the ground closes on them. One slips out of the crack it fell into unscathed, but the other four did not have quite the same luck. "Wanna play rough? I'll show you rough!" The Delbiter charges. Xion readies his mace and strikes the delbiter in the face, shattering it's skull into ten pieces. The delbiter staggers and kicks Xion in the side. Xion stumbles to the side from the attack, holding his side. "Filthy mutt." Xion mumbles, holding his staff with two hands. As the Delbiter starts to charge, Xion opens his eyes and thrusts the staff at the mongrel. A flash of white light, and the Delbiter lies at his feet, dead. "That's it for that..." Xion says, looking over his shoulder. A Sinow Zoa lands in the ground behind him. "...wave." Xion says, almost to grumble. Xion points his mace at the robot and a large flash of light comes from it too. The robot lies on the ground in pieces.


STATUS:

HP: 203/227
MP: 29/237
JP: 3/10

[Risp_old]

Rspss Fr reaches the spaceport. There are... 3 ships left intact, all of them small transports. Niz walks to the nearest one, and hacks the door. It opens... and the hacker inside comes out. She motions to the hacker, and the hacker stands aside. Niz walks into the ship, and sends off a signal. All the robots stand to attention. All twenty of them. Niz sighs. Why is it all the large transports were destroyed?

[Lem_Gambino]

Jeanie looked through her binoculars. In the distance, she could see Risp, a small group of Peeps, and a woman who she didn't know. They were heading for the spaceport. "What are they doing," she said to herself before turning to the others. "Let's move closer."
Jeanie's platoon moved across the lunar surface to antoher crater not far away. "If they attack, we attack," says Jeanie. She tensed, waiting for the right moment to strike.

Meanwhile, an epic game of Pong was played as the left and right sides of L_G's brain duked it out in a no-holds-barred match. the score was tied at 14 apiece. All the while L_G sang Weird Al's song "Traffic Jam", anxiously waiting for freedom from his stone prison.

=D

[Risp_old]

Niz quicky unloads the other transports. Now, with 70 robot soldiers (one transport had 30) and three hackers added to his party, Rspss Fr relaxes. And notices something. A glint, reflecting off the shiny body of one robot. Rspss Fr recognises it as emitting off a pair of binoculars. He goes into one transport and motions for Niz to follow. When inside, he orders a sensor sweep...

[Strato]

Strato wondered around the area with no clue as to what to do. After getting into a pleasent conversation about the weather with a tea saucer, Strato found himself in a restaurent getting a bowl of soup. However the soup was quite fuzzy, and when he put his spoon in the bowl a spanish goat fell onto the spoon. A waitor attempted to steal the goat.

BATTLE MODE!!!1

Strato attacks
Waiter dies

Strato WINS!

Suddenly he appears at the frog's throne again. "Je vous vois avoir la chèvre espagnole que j'ai demandée. Je vous donnerai maintenant une armée et un endroit au sommeil. À partir de ce moment lÃ(-) vous êtes un héros aux yeux de mes personnes. Disparaissent maintenant le xion de trouvaille avant qu'il soit trop tard ou bien je devrai manger vos houseplants et brûler vos ongles d'orteil. D'ailleurs ne manquez pas le banquet de l'uber 1337 que nous devons honorer la mort du serveur. Nous projetons célébrer. Ne laissez pas les romulans manger votre visage sur votre sortie." it croaked. Strato was then given sevral frog attackers and thrown outside the city gates along with his troops.

[Lem_Gambino]

Alex, a Machine Knight, says in a Robbie the Robot voice, "Danger! Danger, Jeanie Robinson!" But since there was no air on the moon (at least where the group is), no one heard him except Jeanie. 'Shut up, you lame bucket of bolts!' she said through telepathy before bonking Alex on the head with her staff. 'Everyone, get down! I think they spotted us...'

[Risp_old]

Rspss Fr watches the scanner sweep. Well... this would give an advantage... Rspss Fr's party attacks.
Niz casts hack on Alex. Alex is charmed!
Rspss Fr casts white noise.
Robot soldiers (70) attack Jeanie. Jeanie takes 700 damage from their combined fire (10 d per soldier).
Peep soldiers (20) attack Jeanie. Jeanie takes 400 damage from the combined fire (20 d per soldier).
Alex attacks Jeanie. Jeanie takes 40 damage.
Hackers (3) attack Jeanie. Jeanie takes 9 damage from the combined fire (3 d per hacker).

[Lem_Gambino]

Apparently the Peeps forgot that Jeanie wasn't alone...

St. Joan casts Curaga. Jeanie recovers 1567 HP.
St. Joan casts Esuna. Alex is no longer charmed.
Alex discards 3 Machine monsters from his hand. All enemies take ~400 Hp damage.
Rex casts White Lightin'. Niz takes 975 HP damage.
Steve lays one card face down.
Steve casts Wood Veil. All 3 Hackers take ~300 HP damage. Hackers are unable to move.
Steve casts Oblivion. Risp takes 568 HP damage. Risp has been Addled (can't use A-Abilities).
Jeanie uses Doublecast. Jeanie casts Fira on Niz. Niz takes 376 HP damage. Jeanie casts Thundara on Risp. Risp takes 487 HP damage.

[Risp_old]

<i>You forgot Rspss Fr cast White Noise. Therefore, none of them can use spells.

Oh, and what are your forces?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

They're all Yu-Gi-Oh monsters.
Jeanie- Dark Magician Girl
Rex- Blue Eyes White Dragon
Steve- Armed Ninja
Alex- Machine Knight
St. Joan- herself

There are others, too, but they aren't here right now D=
Let's say that Jeanie and her crew didn't know what White Noise did, so skip all spell effects.

Jeanie swore. 'I don't know what he did, but whatever it was, we can't use spells...' Looks like things will have to be done the old fashioned way...

[Risp_old]

<i>I'll be nice again and let you make your move first... and be a proper bad guy and let Jeanie escape afterwards.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Jeanie uses an X-Potion. She recovers most of her HP.
St. Joan attacks. Hacker1 takes 345 HP damage.
St. Joan attacks. Hacker2 takes 367 HP damage.
Rex attacks. Hacker3 takes 682 HP damage. Hacker3 is dead and crispy. XD
Alex places one card face down.
Steve places one card face down.
Steve uses Flee. Jeanie and her party escape.

'They'd be fools to follow us,' thinks Steve.
'Until I can cast magic again, we'll need a transport...' thinks Jeanie.

[Risp_old]

<i>White Noise only affects people in battle with Rspss Fr.</i>

Rspss Fr stops using White Noise now that Jeanie and co. are out of range. Niz concentrates and casts Jamming on Jeanie as she flees. Rspss Fr, satisfied that he averted the attack, brings his little army back to the spaceport, and begins to load them on. Lifting off, he begins high powered scanner sweeps to search for Lem_Gambino.

[Lem_Gambino]

Jeanie cures her mute status by taking an Echo Screen. With her magic back, Jeanie casts a portal spell and returns to the Shadow Realm.

Meanwhile, Beth has found Bulma, and asks her to use the Dragon Radar to find the Dragonballs. Their search takes them to a cave far from the outskirts of West City. Unfortunately, the Dragonball is in the nest of a Two-Headed King Rex. She fiercely defends her nest, and neither of the two women have spells to attack it. Where's Goku when you need him?

[Risp_old]

<i>Wait, where is L_G?</i>

Rspss Fr dosen't find Lem_Gambino... but does find Beth instead. He brings the transports in, their limited guns blazing... and kills the King Rex instead. D'oh.

[Lem_Gambino]

<s>At the Spot Place.</s> In the Shadow Realm.

"Okay, the good news is we have the Dragonball, the bad news is Risp has found me..."
"Excuse me, but who is Risp?" asks Bulma.
"Less talking, more running!" says Beth, panicing. She grabs Bulma by the hand and starts running.

Elsewhere, Vegeta is watching the Super Bowl with the usual disgruntled look on his face. "Hmmph. Humans and their games..." he grumbles. Just then, he hears ringing. He gets up, startled, as if the earth was under attack. "Show yourself!" he shouts.
"Dad, it's just the phone!" says Trunks as he runs into the kitchen to answer the phone. "Hello?"
Laser blasts are heard in the background as Trunks talks to his mother. "TRUH~NKS! she shouts. "GET THESE STUPID SPACESHIPS AWAY FROM ME!"
"WHAT?!" Trunks says, shocked. Vegeta looks concerned. "We'll be right there! Hang on!!" Trunks hangs up the phone and turns to his father, but he isn't there. Trunks senses Vegeta's power level... 'Darn it, dad! Why do you always rush into these things?' Trunks runs out the door and flies off after his father.
'If they do so much as lay a finger on Bulma, I'll tear them limb from limb...' thinks an angry Vegeta.

[Risp_old]

<i>Isn't that going against the outside forces rule? Oh well, I'm happy as long as I don't get killed at the first move.</i>

The transports veer away now under command of Niz, and a smaller ship ejects from one. This ship, a large fighter, contains Rspss Fr and a hacker. The fighter continues to follow the two fleeing targets, not firing. Rspss Fr sees, in the distance, a person flying up... he gets a spell ready.

[Lem_Gambino]

Vegeta's not like that. Have likes to make his victims SUFFER. XD

[Risp_old]

<i>Good. Now make your move</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Vegeta sees the small ship flying for Beth and Bulma. He flies right in front of the ship and grabs it before forcing it into the ground. Vegeta Stands on top of the ship and looks inside the cockpit, grinning evilly. "Hi," He says. "Perhaps you could tell me why you're chasing after my wife and her fairy friend." Trunks is still on his way.

[Risp_old]

<i>Are Vegita's energy attack things counted as magic?</i>

Rspss Fr mutters the final word for the spell he was preparing. White lights swirl wround Vegita. He falls to the ground... and stays there. Rspss Fr casted Upset Balance! Rspss Fr hovers the ship above Vegita, and then hops out. He stands there, and then starts a spell. Niz, having landed her transport nearby, walks up.

[Xion]

<i>Energy Attacks are not considered magic. However, they could be considered "skill" which can be outlawed.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

No.

Trunks arrives on the scene just in time to see Vegeta fall victim to Risp's spell. With a mighty battlecry, Trunks flies in and kicks Risp, sending him flying. Risp lands in a tree. He bends over Vegeta and uses a Band-Aid. "Are you okay?" asks Trunks.
"That punk won't try that again. I'm going to get some answers. Get your mother to safety!" says Vegeta as he gets up. Trunks flies over to pick Bulma and Beth, then flies back to West City. Vegeta flies over the Risp's location, then grabs him by the collar and says, "I'm not going to ask again, punk. Why are you after Bulma and Beth?"

[Risp_old]

<i>A magic band-aid? Wierd...</i>

"Simple," Rspss Fr says. "There is this person called Lem_Gambino. He was manipulating time with magic, one of the most dangerous things imaginable for a mage to do. I turned him to stone; Beth seeks the Dragon Balls to cure him." Rspss Fr triggers the spell he had in stasis. Vagita once again was hit by Upset Balance. Trunks suddenly ripples with radiation. The radiation focuses on his head. Trunks got hit by Brain Damage!

[Lem_Gambino]

It's not weird, it's Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. Whatever happened to Xion and his storyline??? And how did you know about the Dragonballs?

Trunks falls to the ground, dropping Bulma. Trunks gets back on his feet, but stumbles around before he gets his bearings before running right into a wall. "Um, I think you should help Vegeta..." says a slightly confused Bulma.

Beth attacks with Bazooka Syringe(sp?). Niz takes 348 HP damage. Niz has been Poisoned.
Vegeta has learned Magic Resistance!
Magic Resistance(R-Ability)- Recovers from magic attacks faster.

Vegeta jumps to his feet, then laughs. "You have no IDEA who you're dealing with! The L_G I know has powers beyond belief! He can create, destroy, and he even has his own alternate dimension! He may be dangerous, sure, but he travels between planes quite often. Perhaps he was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe he was just saving his game so he could pick it up later. Or maybe you just mistook him as an evil villain out to destroy you...well you're wrong. L_G is the reason why I'm still alive! He's why everyone in West City is still alive! He's a hero! And if you're going to blast him off the face of the earth, then think again!"
"Whoa, go dad," says Trunks, rubbing his head. The impact from hitting the wall shook him out of confusion.
"Come on, let's find the other Dragonballs!" says Beth. "Oh, right...almost forgot," replies Bulma. Trunks picks her up, and they all fly off to find the other Dragonballs.

Vegeta attacks Risp 54 times. Risp takes 1234 HP damage. Ouch.

I think it's safe to say that Vegeta is at a really high level. ;)

[Risp_old]

<i>How do I know about the Dragonballs? It makes it easier to explain things. Plus, I have to have some way to get back on you for that. Anyway, don't people learn skills by getting expirence, not by getting pummeled?</i>

Rspss Fr says "And that is why I must put him out of action. He may be good. He may be just. But he still will cause, and in fact is causing, damage beyond reckoning with what he does, without even meaning to. Adios." A transport fly over, and Rspss Fr and Niz jump on. The transport activates it's longjump engines, and in a flash is gone. Another transport flys towards the group, and hits the ground. This transport's only occupant is a lone antimatter bomb.

[Lem_Gambino]

Vegeta follows the transport, curious on why it was launched. After it lands, Vegeta opens the door and find what appears to be a bomb of some sort. "Well, we can't have this lying around, now can we?" he says with a smirk. "What an amateur." Vegeta plucks the blue wire (it's always the blue wire), thus disarming the bomb, or so he thinks. He then tosses it into the air and destroys it with a Ki Blast.

[Risp_old]

<i>Sadly Vagita has no idea how an anti-matter bomb works. There is only one wire. Cutting that wire cuts power off to the anti-matter containment feild, thus detonating the bomb. Thus, a more accurate redoing of those events is this-

Vegeta follows the transport, curious on why it was launched. After it lands, Vegeta opens the door and find what appears to be a bomb of some sort. "Well, we can't have this lying around, now can we?" he says with a smirk. "What an amateur." Vegeta plucks the only wire there is in the bomb. The bomb explodes. The crater resulting that takes out the continent they are on.

Anyway, the bomb was suppost to go off as soon as the ship crashed. I just didn't say that because I like cliffhangers.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Ouch. So, sadly, everyone in West City (and Asia) is dead thanks to a silly Saiyan named Vegeta. But the good news is that Vegeta survived, barely.

Vegeta has taken 3872 HP damage from the bomb blast.
Trunks is dead and crispy.
Bulma is dead and crispy.
Beth is dead and crispy.
The Dragonball is at the bottom of the ocean.
The Dragon Radar lands somewhere in Africa.

"AH, CARP ON A STICK!!!" shouts Vegeta angrily. "Somehow, I going to find the little jerk that did this, and see to it that he never lives to...hey, that's me...oops."
Vegeta shakes his head, then dives down for the Dragonball.

[Risp_old]

<i>You never answered my important question, anyway? Where is L_G? I sure can't find him if you never tell me.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

See post #22. I'm surprised you haven't paid attention to all of my posts...=/

[Risp_old]

<i>Oh. Whoops. I thought that that was the setting for the post. Ah well.</i>

Rspss Fr sat back in his chair in the transport. "That is the last anti-matter we have, sir" a peep soldier says. Rspss Fr sighs. "No sign of Lem_Gambino, I suppose." The soldier shakes his head. "I bet the sent him to an alternate reality," Rspss Fr says, "we cannot possibly find him. And we don't have enough firepower to take out Vegita. So, to the secondary objective." The transport changes direction and heads out for another place, quite far away.

[Xion]

Xion finally arrives at the edge of the cage for Beta 069. "Well, it seems he has escaped..." Xion mumbles, then noticing a strange patch in the water surface. "What is this?" Xion scoops a small sample of the jelly-like substance into a vial and pockets the vial. "This needs to be examined." Xion then presses a button on a small device, and throws it behind him. Upon landing, the device poofs into many long streams of light going upwards. Xion enters the lights, then turns back behind him. 'I thought I heard something...' Xion thinks, then disappears with a brilliant flash of light.

[Lem_Gambino]

Vegeta breaks the surface of the water, the Dragonball in his grasp. "I have to undo the damage that was done...by collecting the other Dragonballs..." gasps Vegeta. He flies off, unsure of where to look.

[Xion]

Xion, returning to Beta 068's cage, continues to analyze the damage. "Well, it seems that something, or somebody, burrowed in two miles north of here, went right through the bottom of the cage, and out the other end two miles South." Xion looks down and notices a hole in eastern side of the cage. "Hello, what is this now?" Xion flicks a switch on the control panel, and an elevator comes down from the ceiling. The elevator continues down, compressing the water and draining the cage partially. Xion hops on the moving elevator, taking along a remote for the elevator. "It seems we have a visitor." Xion mumbles, then mumbles something inaudibly as he returns to the center to raise up the elevator and refill the cage. "Somebody else is in the base...I just hope I can find him before he does any more damage than he has already caused." Xion rushes off into the base, before stumbling across the wounded Delbiter in the room. Xion, kneeling beside the animal, checks it over. A flashback of him smashing his staff head into the Delbiter's and then checking it's head. A strike consistant with his mace is on his head. "Wow, resilient little thing." The Delbiter, glaning up, panics and starts to scooch away from Xion. "Don't worry..." Xion says, digging in his pocket, "I'm sorry for what I did...It was self-defense." The Delbiter, somewhat accepting the apology, scooches slightly twoard Xion. Xion, manipulating a small remote he pulled out of his pocket, he casts Cura on the Delbiter. Xion then manipulates the remote back to what he had it origionally, and the Delbiter struggles to get up, but fails. Xion, analyzing it's head, says in an apathetic tone "You may not be able to walk untill you're fully healed. Let's get you back to the surface. You can heal there better than in this..." Xion looks around slightly. "...dump." The delbiter moves its mouth slightly, as if to smirk. Xion rummages through his pockets, then mumbles "uh-oh."

[Strato]

Strato took his new army and immediatly set to teaching the frogs english and the peeps french. For the sake of the story, let's say they are quick learners. As he continued to march he entered a more sane land, where the trees were normal and it seemed like a completly different land. In this area there was a frozen lake even though it was a pleasant 80 degrees this night. Strato stepped tenitivly onto the ice. It seemed sturdy enough to stand on, so he walked calmly across it with his troops following him. A fog was settling in. Suddenly it became too thick to see anything. The fog lifted slightly to reveal the area directly surrounding strato. Several monstrosities ran through the fog and began to attack Strato

To be continued.

[Risp_old]

Rspss Fr, glancing at the galactic map, orders a full stop. In front of his ships is an asteroid. This asteroid has a gate on it; noticeable only by the green glow it gives off. This gate can transport people through dimensions and space, but it has a limited capacity. Rspss Fr and Niz enter a shuttle, along with 4 peep soldiers. They go in... and after them, the gate shuts itself off. In Ragol, A shuttle appears and lands. It's passengers get out. Rspss Fr gets a tracking device out. Strato is... that way. The party sets off.

[Strato]

Strato uses a normal attack on Monster 3 killing it
Monster 2 gets off it's tail
Monster 4 circles
Strato uses aim
Monster 2 circles
Strato shoots Monster 2 killing it
Monster 4 runs away

Battle Over!!!1

The fog lifts. Strato and his party is all regrouped at the coast of the lake somehow. Strato uses med pack on himself. Med pack is at 4. Strato then continues down the forest path.

[Risp_old]

Rspss Fr's party walks follows a straight line to Strato. They go through a forest, ignore a watchtower shouting things in French at them, and finally find a mysteriously frozen lake. Crossing it, they find... Strato. Mission 2 succesful!

[Lem_Gambino]

Vegeta finds the Dragon Radar in an abandoned hut. The radar is pointing Dennis. "Dennis? is that even possible?" says a confused Vegeta. He shrugs and follows the radar.

[Xion]

Xion returns to the wounded Delbiter from the cage room. "Well, I think I found a pipe..." Xion says, as he activates the device in his hand. Throwing it behind him, it turns into the same streams of light. "I guess I did find a pipe." Xion says with a smirk. "We can return to the surface now." Xion takes the Delbiter over his shoulders with an "oof" and lumbers over to the pipe. They disappear in a brilliant flash of light.

<i>NEW CHARECTOR INTRODUCED! Rach, the Delbiter.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

<i>Isn't that going against the outside forces rule? Oh well, I'm happy as long as I don't get killed at the first move.</i>

Actually, it isn't against the rules, since none of the Z-Fighters (or any copyrighted characters, for that matter) are on L_G's side, unless he recruits them for a certain task. Beth was asking Bulma to come along since she's the only person (besides Trunks, and perhaps Chaotzu(sp?)) that knows how to use the Dragon Radar properly, which resulted in Vegeta and Trunks getting involved (and getting the whole continent to blow up 9_9). Beth doesn't watch enough anime. XP

Vegeta somehow finds another Dragonball. He now has 2. I'm not going to go into detail here 'cuz, unlike Radium, I have NO IDEA which way Dennis is. Bleck.

<i>Actually, the rule states 'No calling in outside forces unless they are not distinctly on your side'. Now, if Vagita wasn't being distinctly on your side there, with all his ranting about how good you were and defending your name, then I must have been reading your posts wrong.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

...THERE IS NO SPOON. Just felt like saying something random.

Vegeta follows the Dragon Radar north.

[Xion]

Xion pokes his head in on a room with a large bed on the floor. "Rach...you here girl?" Xion says, looking around. Rach pops her head up from under a blanket on the bed and looks at Xion. "How ya feelin today? Better?" Rach gives a small yelp of acknolwedgement. "Good to hear." Xion leaves a small dish of food at the doorside and heads back out to his main computer room.

<i>If anybody is curious, Yes, Rach is a female Delbiter. The females are usually more aggressive than the males, making them excellent pit fighters.</i>

Back at the computer room, Xion analyzes a 3D model of the seabed base. A small line shows the path of something heading out from Beta 068's cage to the highest level in the base. "Well, whatever that was in the cage, it busted through the roof of the room...here." Xion says, as the computer zooms in on the room. "Now, the safety measures were still active, so when the roof was breached it was sealed." Xion then shows a full map with that room removed. "But then how do we get to these rooms here? It's now impossible to get to his cage again through casual means. I could use pipes to get there and back, but at 350 a piece, that gets a little costly after time." Xion checks his bank account, showing three values: Dollars, Gil, and Mesta. "Not much of all, I've been stuck here for a month." Xion, glancing back at the room with Rach, mumbles something inaudibly about a new plane. He then gets his staff and goes over to the room. Xion walks in, and mumbles a few things under his breath. A bright flash of light, and Xion walks out with Rach, amazingly, following with some pep in her step.

[Strato]

Strato wondered through the strange forest. Apparently in a group, the creatures would watch with caution but wouldn't dare attack, so they were able to get by with no resistence. They wondered for ages through the area with little idea as to where to go. Along the trails he finally came to a dead end. In this area a single person rested underneath a tree.
"Who are you? An enemy no doubt." Strato yelled.
"I am Leonard Nimoy, a simple druid of this forest, a messanger if you will." He responded. "I seek only peace here, but you have disturbed the balance of this forest. Please leave, I already quelled the upcoming assult so you could pass without danger." Leonard said calmly.
"I see, may the force be with you." Strato stated proudly.
Behind Leonard, the trees uprooted and moved out to form a path to apparently the outside of the forest. Strato lead his forces out into this clearing.

<b><i><u>MEANWHILE</b></i></u>

With the plague rapidly spreading killing hundreds, people like Malcolm were needed to fight the aftermath and slay the plague barers. With no other cure in sight, we could only rest assured that Roxy might come up with something in the end. Until then, he just had to act as a freelance warrior. Malcolm wondered throughout the city of Rieksen. The snow didn't seem like it would let up, so he had to find a warm place to stay. Homeless rabbits huddled around burning trash cans in an attempt to stay warm. Most of the rabbits were coughing, and the streets were completly empty. Several other rabbits broke out into a fight. Malcolm simply walked around the crowd, as he had seen things like this before, in other towns. Malcolm simply continued to walk, until he came to the only inn in the town. The door was barricaded shut , so he simply pounded on the door. After a minute or so it opened and a head stuck out.
"Sorry, no vacancy." The proprieter yelled , then slammed the door and locked it. A rat wearing a trenchcoat came up to Malcolm.
"I know of a place on elm street that you can sleep at. Follow me." He said.

[Lem_Gambino]

"The Dragon Radar sure is behaving oddly," says Vegeta as he tracks the third Dragonball. It seems to be moving irradically, stopping in one spot for a few moments before shooting off in a different direction. "Why won't the stupid ball stay still?!" grumbles Vegeta.

Vegeta follows the Radar North twice, South twice, West, East, West, East, Dennis, Ultima, Stop. Vegeta sees the Dragonball floating in front of him. He grins, saying, "You've been a very naughty Dragonball. How you come with me so I can make a wish?" He reaches out and grabs the Dragonball. BUT (there's aways a but)-

"How the heck is this Dragonball floating here in the first place???"

STAGE SELECT OPENED!
RANDOM STAGE!
NOW LOADING...

CHAOS TEMPLE ZONE
WARNING: FLIGHT DISABLED.

Vegeta suddenly finds himself standing atop some sort of ramp, leading down into some sort of temple ruins below. Vegeta scratches his head, wondering how he got here. 'What sort of magic is this?' he thinks. He turns around as a giant boulder is rolling at him at a high speed. "Uh oh...Big Bang!" Vegeta calls out. A humungous energy blast hits the rock in an attempt to break it, but not so much as a dent is put in the rock. The boulder steamrolls Vegeta before he can get a chance to run away.

2 LIVES REMAINING

Vegeta reappears, by some miracle, back on the ramp. The boulder comes back at Vegeta, but there is only one thing he can do: RUN. "What is this, some sort of video game?!!" Vegeta complains as he runs to avoid death, again. As he reaches the bottom of the ramp, he sees a tampleline(sp?) of some sort, begging for something to jump on it. Having no other option, Vegeta jumps on the tampleline and sprung high into the air. Just in time too; the boulder comes crashing down, destroying all in it's path. Vegeta then lands on the high platform of stone, with a vine hanging off the side. "Guess there's only one way to go here," says Vegeta as he climbs down the vine into the ruins.

<i>Erratically

[Risp_old]

<i>In an effort to stop the Lem_Gambino anime convention 2004's dragonball hunt, I present an alternative...</i>

In the wreckage of Rspss Fr's stronghold, the magic amplifying device crackled with energy, as it was hooked up to a backup generator. If a stone spell can become nearly uncurable if put through it, imagine what would happen to an esuna...

[Lem_Gambino]

Xion: Thanks. *gives him a cookie*
Risp: LOL! DJLKJDLJSLKJSLLKHDL *brain implodes* Yeah, well you forgot one thing: ASIA'S STILL A SMOKING CRATER. Touche. XD

It's written rule of physics: Any machine that a mad scientist builds must be absurdly huge, must have at least one glaring weakness, and have some unnesscessarily long name. Well, when Magical Scientist Professor Jeff was asked to build a demonsion-travelling vessel, he didn't follow all of the rules. The Interceptor was certainly huge, with enough firepower to destroy, say, a small moon. Of course, this was just version 1...

Jeanie stood over Beth's grave, holding a handful of flowers. "I know Persimmons are your favorite, Beth...so here you go..." she said sadly as she placed the flowers on her grave. "This may be the last time I see you, we're going home, back to Animenia...and you know how random the Shadow Realm can be..."
Tears filled Jeanie's eyes. "Goodbye, my love..." she sniffed. And she turned away, her blonde hair flowing all dramatic-like behind her as she walked away, away from her past, onto her future...it's too bad death in the Shadow Realm is far different from death in the real world.
Jeanie wiped the tears from her eyes as the Konami launch bay slowly emerged from the dark mist. She stood straight- as the leader of L_G's monster army, she had to let everyone know that she was in charge. As much as she wanted to put aside the memory of Beth's death, she wanted to hold onto it forever...
"Please state your username and password," the control panel said. She had been so deep in thought that she hadn't realized she was already out side the building. "DarkMagicWoman626, ************************," said Jeanie. "Access granted. Welcome, Mistress Jeanie," the control panel replied. The door lock clicked, so Jeanie opened the door and entered the cavern-like launch bay. She only been here once before, when she and the others were asked to come to L_G's aid. Now she was ready to return home...almost.
"Professor Jeff, how long until the ship is ready to launch?" asked Jeanie. "A few more hours. I just need to get a new power coupling for the stupid warp drive that keeps burning out..I just can't figure out why..." he replied. Jeanie smiled. "Perfect. There's just one more thing I need to do before we leave." Before Professor Jeff could answer, she took out her staff an created a warp portal to the moon base...there was something she needed to get, and no amount of Peep Soldiers were going to stop her...

BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBL AMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBL AMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBL AMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAM BLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBLAMBL AM!!!
That was pretty much the whole summary of the battle between Vegeta and the Chaos Temple's Boss, Chaos Ogre.

STAGE CLEARED!

"Whoever's in charge here, listen up!" Vegeta called out, barely exhuasted from the stage's trials. "I demand that you return me to earth at once! I have a job to do! DO YOU HEAR ME?!"
No response, other than maniacal female laughter. "Like, don't get your undies in a bunch, Veggie!" echoed the voice. "Once you've won my game, I'll let you go. But if you lose all of your lives, you'll have to start ALL OVER!!" More laughter. Vegeta didn't like that, and he hated being called "Veggie" even more. But there wasn't much time for hate, the next stage was about to begin...

CHAOS MALL ZONE
BATTLE START!
Chaos Guards 1-27 attack!
"Ah, carp," grumbles Vegeta.

[Risp_old]

<i>Curses! I knew I forgot something!
Are those monster forces you use considered magic or summoned?</i>

While the magic amplifier still stood, it's regulator did not. It could only safley amplify one spell, and at that the spell had to be targeted somewhere nearby. After that, it would become fixed on that one spell and unable to do anything else.

[Lem_Gambino]

Vegeta attacks! Chaos guard586 takes 273 HP damage. Chaos Guard has fallen!
END BATTLE.
"This isn't fun anymore..." said Vegeta to no one in paticular. Just then, a mysterious chant filled the air...
'GOURSELFGOURSELFGOURSELFGOURSELFGOURSELFGOURSELF. ..'
"What the..?" The chanting continued. It started slow, but it became faster and more frequent. Soon, it was the only sound Vegeta could hear. "What's going on?!!" shouted Vegeta. "ANSWER ME!!!"
No answer. Just the chanted. Oh, the chanting, how it can drag a person from a stable mind to pure insanity in a matter of moments...
KER-SNAPCRACKLEPOPSICLESTICKFIGUREOFSPEECH! That was Vegeta's patience.

Vegeta has gone Super Saiyan 3!
Vegeta uses Uberbang.

Far away, in some dark, isolated space, a man named Darker was chanting an endless, ruthless chant. A chant that can oush a person over the edge at the drop of a hat.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!
Darker takes 9999999 HP damage. Darker has dropped off the face of the earth.
Vegeta powered down. He knew that the person wasn't the same one that trapped him here, but it was different...a spammer... "That's one problem solved," grumbled Vegeta as he took the escolater(sp?) to the next floor.

Darker, if you're trying to get yourself banned, you're doing a pretty good job. STOP. IT. NOW.
Risp: Yes. L_G carries around a deck of Yu-Gi-Oh cards. Right now, they're just in a "waiting room" of sorts. The way I see it, ANY summoned monster comes from some sort of alternate demonsion, like the Shadow Realm. This where the monsters (L_G's, anyway) live until they are called into battle.

Jeanie pinned the Supreme Peep commander to the wall. "Tell me where the spell array plans are!" she shouted. Despite what the Peep leader was going through, he refused to speak. "Ugh, you're useless," grumbled Jeanie as she tossed him aside. After a thorough search of every square inch of the base that wasn't reduced to rubble, she found the plans. Jeanic skimmed through them and smiled. "We can make this better...much better!"

"Is L_G safely on board?" asked Jeanie as she returned from her trip. "Oh yes," Professer Jeff replied, rubbing his hands the way all mad scientists do. "We had a heck of a time finding him, too, given the random nature of this realm. You should've brought staight to me for safe keeping!"
Jeanie laughed. "Yeah, well, I bet Beth was lazy anyway. Prepare for launch; we're leaving."
"Yes, ma'am!"

Derby: Content removal. There was no remotely offensive content in the post, but part of a reference to a removed post needed to be removed as well.

[Risp_old]

<i>What commander? I made it clear the place was in ruins. The only surviving peeps were the ones in Rspss Fr's team.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Derby: Sorry about that. ^^;;
Risp: Argh. But wouldn't you have considered the fact that maybe some Peeps may have stayed behind to REPAIR the damage??? Ah, well.

[Coppertop]

And the 3rd Person Thread wasn't ENOUGH?

[Lem_Gambino]

The 3rd person thread was slowly becoming a MMORPG, so to speak. If you want to join, go ahead. You'll have create a character sheet and stuff first.

[Coppertop]

.. no.

[Risp_old]

Risp: Argh. But wouldn't you have considered the fact that maybe some Peeps may have stayed behind to REPAIR the damage??? Ah, well.
<i>A great accomplishment for a couple hundred dead peeps on a moon with no atmosphere and without any tools in less than a day.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Comeon, Copper! You can be my pet hampster...with TELEKENITIC POWERS!</i>

Xion and Rach find themselves at the crest of the large mountain in the middle of the island. "Here it is." Xion says to Rach. "The uncharted land." Rach looks at the dense forest below on the north side of the island, and then looks back at Xion, then back at the forest. She gives out a snort of disgust. "What? Just because people that settled the Gran Da Val base only went to the mountain and nowhere past doesn't mean that they didn't wonder what's over there." Rach scratches herself behind the ear. "What do you think is over there...Something absurd, I bet. I mean...Talking Chocobos in one plane, what's next?" Xion looks around and shrugs, as if to be sarcastic, "Talking Frogs?"

<i>How can you pin a peep to the wall? Wouldn't it just squish and slip out of your grasp and through your legs/arms?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

No, I assume Risp made his Peeps far more durable.

Two non-L_G posts until the Interceptor launches.

[Risp_old]

<i>I already suggested they were all dead. And you never said otherwise, soo...</i>

[Xion]

<i>OMG OMG HAX HAX HAX. j/k.</i>

Xion walks down the side of the mountain into the dense forest with Rach trailing behind. "What's the matter, girl?" Rach looks off to the east, then back at Xion. "Something over there?" Rach's head move as if to nod. The two head east.

[Lem_Gambino]

The Interceptor will launch after Risp or Iso posts.

[Risp_old]

The Interceptor will launch after Risp or Iso posts.
<i>Iso?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Iso = Infinite Spaz, Strato, Stratn, the guy from Spotplace...remember him?

[Risp_old]

Iso = Infinite Spaz, Strato, Stratn, the guy from Spotplace...remember him?
<i>I remember. I was just picking on you for calling Strato Iso, which makes no sense at all. Now do something.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

No, YOU (or someone else) do something. Jeanie and her monster legions are about to leave, L_G is still 'stoned' sao to speak, and Vegeta, well...

Vegeta has been forced to join Mrs. Cuddles for a tea party. She dresses up Vegeta for the occasion, which does not make him happy. And to make matters worse...
FLIGHT DISABLED.
ATTACKS DISABLED.
MOOD HAS BEEN STUCK ON "SUGARY SWEET".
'Whoever made this twisted game is going to die...' thinks Vegeta, who does not wish to invoke the wrath of a super-cute, Ultisporkrystal-powered teddy bear.

Ha.

[Risp_old]

<i>Xion did something. I can't do anything in Ragol because I am now under Strato's command there, and here I can't make a move without putting myself at a disadvantage. You are the one who can affort making such moves, with being a bad guy all but in deed (because you have such an advantage over me. This is now a story, you know, and a good guy who can beat the bad guy easily is a contradiction in terms in a story). But, to make you happy...</i>

Rspss Fr takes out his backpack, and checks its contents for a certain thing. He locates a data disk, and puts it back. This disk is the last remaining plan for the magic amplifier, as the other plans were destroyed with the stronghold.

<i>Now you move, or I do something cheesy.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Okay.

L_G uses his telepathic powers to slide his stonied self one inch.

There, I moved. j/k

"All systems are go!" says Professor Jeff over the intercom. "Excellent," replies Jeanie. "Cadet, main thrusters to full."
"Aye, ma'am," confirms Jack, a Roboyaru soldier.
The massive ship left the launch bay, parting the dark fog as it traveled. The ship then flew towards a humungous portal that led home. "Prepare for dimension fold!" warned Jeanie. This was going to be a bumpy trip...
The ship flew into the portal it had created, and closed it as it flew through. The ship shook and rattled as it flew, but that was expected; the Interceptor was only in the Alpha version. When L_G was back to normal, he would fix any bugs that were present; he had no intention of building another unless it was nesscessary.
Eventually, the ship's ride smoothed out considerably. Shortly after, Professer Jeff's voice was heard over the intercom. "I'm afraid I have some bad news."
"Oh?" replied Jeanie. "What seems to be the trouble?"
"It's the plans you found. They won't work," Jeff said grimly.
"What?!" Jeff sighed. "They must be fakes," he said. "Don't worry, I'm sure we can get help from...him."
"Shin-Ra? No way, not in a millenia!" Jeanie said, distrssed. "We may not have much of a choice," replied Jeff. "I'll try and see if I can rig something up instead."
"Very well," Jeanie said. The intercom shut off. Jeanie clenched her fists. "Sethie had better be D-E-A-D with a capital D before we arrive..." she grumbled. Obviously, this was something she didn't take a liking too well, especially after that AVALANCHE incident...

[Risp_old]

<i>What plans?</i>

The magic amplifier started to warm up. Someone had repaired it, and was now using it. A spell, designed to shatter Lem_Gambino, was started. It would take a couple more minutes to finish, but at that time nothing could stop it.

<i>Alright, my first of my challanges.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

The plans that Jeanie found. Apparently, she can't tell between the difference between a Magic Amplifier and a Blender. XP

"We're approaching the Nth Zone," says Jeff. Jeanie snapped back to her senses. "Oh, um...activate the Noshield, then," she replies. "I'm going back to my quarters. Shelby, you're in charge for now."
"Aye, ma'am," acknowledges Shelby, an Amazoness Archer who can easily hit a fly from a hundred meters away.

The Interceptor casts Noshield. The ship and everything on board is now immune to everything except attacks with weapons.

Jeanie rode the Hypervator to her quarters, but something was troubling her...It wasn't Beth or Shinra, but something else...only Jeanie didn't know what it was.
"We've reached the Nth zone," said Jack over the intercom. "Acknowledged," replied Jeanie as she arrived at her room. Jeanie laid down on her bed, unable to relax. What was going on with her?

[Risp_old]

"Ah...re...shi...ne...vo...plai...das...gohf...nogr amo...samo...vi..." the figure chanted. Only five minutes left till the spell is done...

[Strato]

Malcolm walked down to the stranger's place. Along the way they talked.
"I need to know what happened to this city. About a year ago this place was a bustling megatropolis. Now it's become one of the poorest towns I've seen, and I've been all over this country." Malcolm asked.
"Well you see, the main source of commerce was the Lafayette home business. They employed 60% of the population, but then after...yeah. Basically the town's economy was slaughtered. Our un employment rate is 72%. Most of the citizans got up and left town directly after that, but some of us were to sick and ill to escape. Now we all spend our days waiting for help from the Carrotus Red Cross, but we're a 2nd class priority city. It may be years before we even get a representative telling us to wait. Nobody wants to start businesses here, nobody wants to come here. Someday a chalk line will circle this city." He responded.

[Risp_old]

"She...no...fe..sa..ghe..raey..ud..zi.." Lights appeared around the interceptor...
"Fa..su..to..ney..san.." The ship's lighting flickered on and off omniously...
"Ghe..sen..fro..roy.." The main power failed... shields and weapons down...
"Sui..da..cho..noy.." Electrical discharge scrambles the shields but mysteriously leaves the rest of the ship unharmed...

No-one is invincible... no-one is immune... two minutes till the spell fires...



<i>And a note- you be cheap, I be cheap. Thank you for letting me be dramatic like that.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

You're welcome. But I'm surprised that someone like that can even cast the spell on a ship that's TRAVELING BETWEEN DIMENSIONS.

"Now what?" said Jeanie, half asleep. "Jeanie to bridge, status report!"
"It seems our ship is going haywire!" says Shelby over the intercom. "It must be some sort of magic spell!"
Jeanie grinned. "Whoever's casting the spell has no idea who they're messing with," she says. Jeanie exits her room and takes the Hypervator to L_G's room. There, L_G slept like a rock. Literally. "Mind if I borrow these?" asks Jeanie, pointing to L_G's Yu-Gi-Oh deck.
'Of-Of course,' thought L_G, yawning. Jeanie searched though L_G's deck and found the card she was looking for. "Whoever is casting this spell in for a big surprise," smirked Jeanie. The interceptor drifted into the portal bound for home...

Jeanie lays two cards face-down.

Vegeta left the Chaos Toy Shop, glad he was finally out of that accursed tea party. As soon as he was out of their sights, Vegeta decided to put those toys out of their misery...

Vegeta uses Gallick Gun. The Chaos Toy Store and all of its merchandise are blown to pieces.

"Good riddance to bad rubbush!" snarled Vegeta. He was only a few steps away from the toy store when Mrs. Cuddles rose from the ash. "You again?" said Vegeta without turning around.
"NO...ONE...RUINS... MY...TEA PARTIES!!!!! RAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!" bellows Mrs. Cuddles, who has become very angry with Vegeta. He simply rolls his eyes and turns to face the beast.

Mrs. Cuddles has transformed into Chaos Teddy Bear!
BOSS BATTLE START!

[Risp_old]

<i>That is sorta strange, but you have to remember this spell was made to be unstoppable.</i>

One minute till Lem_Gambino is shattered- and past then nothing can turn him back. You better hurry.

<i>Let's just hope you're ship can get there in one post.

Pageclaim</i>

[Xion]

Xion and Rach are walking through the thick jungle. "Well, there seems to be nothing over here..." Xion says, then sees Rach pounce on something.

"OW!" a voice screams when Rach lands. Xion rushes over to the scream to find Rach mauling a peep and eating it. Xion, looking around, mumbles "oh..." A bush rustles. "...Do you know what you just did, Rach?" Xion looks foreward to see Strato and the rest of his peep army in a large clearing. Rach licks her chops. "L.....et's head north." Xion says, and tugs Rach's collar to the north.

[Lem_Gambino]

NOTHING is unstoppable. If it can attack, it can be blocked. So nyah.

L_G is playing Crazy 8s against himself. 'Being stuck inside a rock is stupid.' He thinks. 'Thanks, Risp, for ruining a good portion of my life. Remind me to learn Toad and turn you into one as thanks for turning me into a stone!!! >: ('

L_G has learned "Sarcasm"!

The Interceptor has arrived at Animenia!

[Risp_old]

<i>OK. Let me put this another way. This is a plot device. Therefore, if I say it is unstoppable, it is. Whining will not change that. I need to excercise some of my power.</i>

"Nuo..sze..tau-sha-fe-naga-so-tu" the spell was almost ready. Once launched, it would, as a second method of bypassing the shield, move to where Lem_Gambino is in this dimension. Then, it would jump to L_G's dimension. No shield could stop it then. If that fails it would take the most direct rout and simply open a black hole next to the interceptor. The sheer amount of magic energy vibrating around the Interceptor should be able to make even the most braindead mage realize something is happening.
One half of a minute now. Better act quick.

<i>Jeeze. Can you be more cheap than turn on what is in effect total immunity?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Just so you know, there is one enemy and one character in Skies of Arcadia that can use a technique that can render the user invulnerable for one turn. Plus, (you may already know this) there about a dozen or so cards in Yu-Gi-Oh that redirect or negate attacks. And I'm not whining; I'm 18, for crying out loud!

Sorry to be stern, but the Interceptor was built as an assult/transport vessel for interdimensional travel, and it needs that Noshield so it can travel through the Nth Zone safely. The only thing that CAN penetrate it is A-Abilities and weapon attacks from other ships or heavy artillary. (hint, hint)

Oh yeah...didn't your rules say no instant death? Wouldn't shattering a petrified person count as instant death, hmm??? >: )

Vegeta attacks. Chaos Teddy Bear takes 285 HP damage.
Chaos Bear uses Cute Claw. Vegeta has been charmed.
Vegeta attacks himself, since there aren't any allies around.
"Veggie, quit hitting yourself!" the mysterious voice gaffawed. Vegeta would love nothing more than to wring the neck of that sorry woman...

The Intercetor has landed at Pandomonium Manor.

Yes, but this noshield can make you practically invincible for an infinate time. And no, I am not complaining about spell imunity. I am complaning about what is basically total invunerability. I.E. being invunerable except for one flaw which the enemy can not take advantage of.
Plus, (you may already know this) there about a dozen or so cards in Yu-Gi-Oh that redirect or negate attacks.
Never played that game. Just got annoyed by the anime.
This is not Yu-Gi-Oh. This is a story. And, more on the point, the ship is not a card, unless that card game is more cheesy than I thought.
And I'm not whining; I'm 18, for crying out loud!
And that prevents you from whining how?
Sorry to be stern, but the Interceptor was built as an assult/transport vessel for interdimensional travel, and it needs that Noshield so it can travel through the Nth Zone safely.
The spell was designed to pierce through any of those interesting anti-magic tricks you would undoubtably put up. Why else would I use it? You did hear that line about nothing being able to stop it, right?
The only thing that CAN penetrate it is A-Abilities and weapon attacks from other ships or heavy artillary. (hint, hint)
I don't have a fleet with dimensional traveling capabilities. That is a pretty pointless hint.
Oh yeah...didn't your rules say no instant death? Wouldn't shattering a petrified person count as instant death, hmm??? >: )
Yes, but I never intended it to be finished. I intended you to stop the spell before it was cast, not for you to put on god mode and walk away. I guess I underestimated your love for invincibility. If you say that isn't changing anything you have to remember you didn't have a problem with this before that was enough for you to voice it, owing to the fact that you though you would be able to shrug it off. It not happening is the same, in a way, as just being immune to it in the first place.

Are you the, in a literary sense, the good guy?
Do you like being invincible?

[Radium]

I did some tests, and it turns out that both this thread and Pre-Win3.1 are at a fifth grade reading level. You should be insulted. As should I.

[Lem_Gambino]

Yes, but this noshield can make you practically invincible for an infinate time.
Uh, no. The shield only lasts for a few minutes because it's so stressful on the engines.
And, more on the point, the ship is not a card, unless that card game is more cheesy than I thought.
You are correct, sir.
The spell was designed to pierce through any of those interesting anti-magic tricks you would undoubtably put up. Why else would I use it? You did hear that line about nothing being able to stop it, right?
...We'll see. I'll flip a coin to see If I die or not. XD
I don't have a fleet with dimensional traveling capabilities. That is a pretty pointless hint.
No one said you had to use a ship. Try searching the area around you.
Do you like being invincible?
Only on certain occasions. This isn't one of them. I will die if my storyline permits it. But as long as one of my characters exists, I will continue as long as I feel like it. Don't gorget about the Dragonballs either, though I doubt they will be used that often.

Um, yeah.

Vegeta keeps attacking himself until the charm wears off. He has very low HP.
Chaos Teddy Bear uses Crush Claw. Vegeta dies.

1 LIFE REMAINING

"Time to take it up a notch," says Vegeta as he re-engages with the Chaos Teddy Bear.
BOSS BATTLE START!
Vegeta powers up. Vegeta has become a Super Saiyan!
Vegeta attacks. Chaos Teddy Bear takes 498 HP damage.
Chaos Bear uses Cute Claw. Vegeta is unaffected.
Vegeta uses Big Bang. Chaos Teddy Bear takes 742 HP damage.

<i>Whatever. I have officially decided to go with your flow and stuff and to take this a different way.</i>

The spell fires it spins off. It transports through the shield. It shoots towards L_G. It hits him... and the shield, which was slightly distorting it, causes it to bounce off and shatter the controls. The ship is now on Pandomonium Manor, but no-one has any control over it. The door opens, to the suprise of the crewmembers who were trying to hotwire the door open. A creature enters. This creature is a fox, with light blue fur. He steps in, and walks up to Lem_Gambino. He takes out a seal and places it on Lem_Gambino. The stone around the paladin cracks, and breaks away. Mysterious figure uses amplified soft! The fox looks around at all the monsters around him, and holds out his hands. He runs forward, tagging the monsters. As he tags them, they are unsummoned. He holds his hands into the air, and the Interceptor fades away around them and is replaced with a wide, open plain. He draws his sword. His wooden sword.
"My name is Martin Teiamet, magehunter. I was hired by Rspss Fr to beat you. Lucky I had access to a dimensional portal."

"What the- AHHH!" shouted Jeanie as she dissappeared, going back to the Shadow Realm... 'Nooooooooooo...' she called out with her psychic powers, but no one heard her...
Jeanie landed with a thud. She was back home, sort of. Dark mist surrounded her, clouding her vision. She adjusted after a bit, and saw her comrades laying around, confused. "W-What happened?" asked Shelby as she staggered over to Jeanie. "I don't know..." she replied. "But who ever that man was, he's going to pay for hurting L_G..."

"What just happened?" Tracy and Kamikura were just returning from their exhuasting trip from Planet DQ when then saw it. The Interceptor fell onto the landing pad with a mighty crash. "This can't be good," said Kamikura. "I can't sense him..."
Tracy shook her head. "I can't either. You don't think...? No, it can't be..."
"I'm sure he's still alive and alright," Kamikura reassured his girlfriend. "We just need to find him...Come on, let's go and rest up, it's been a long trip."
"Okay," said Tracy in a small voice, holding onto Kamikura's arm.

"A Magehunter, eh?" L_G said. "Well, this was unexpected. Time for a change of clothes..."

L_G uses the Warrior Dressphere to change his class to Warrior.
L_G:
Current Class: Warrior
HP: Very High
MP: Moderate
Weapon Attack: High
Weapon Defense: Very High
Magic Attack: Moderately low
Magic Defense: Moderately high
Speed: High

"Let's dance."

L_G uses Atomic Slash. Martin takes 1565 HP damage.
L_G uses Power Break. Martin takes 583 HP damage, and his Weapon Attack has been lowered.
L_G uses Magic Break. Martin takes 513 HP damage, and his Magic Attack has been lowered.

Atomic Slash- Cannot be blocked unless the target also is using Atomic Slash. Cannot be used repeatedly.
Power Break/Armor Break/Magic Break/Mental Break/Speed Break
Burning Attack- Negates defensive effects when causing damage.
Shooting star(Overdrive)- Sends a target flying in addition to damage.
Banishing Blade(overdrive)- Inflicts all Break effects if successful.

<i>Yes, but you are also impossible so that is not too much of a big deal.</i>
<i>What, just because I have a natural resonance to antimatter where I can control it in any manner I please? Just know that any antimatter within ten yards of my body can be controlled at my pleasure. Although there is antimatter within matter, thusly making matter and antimatter always touching. It's just that I can control the antimatter part and use it how I please, to perhaps make weaponry, make portals, and to perhaps create massive amounts of energy out of thin air (i.e. my Illusionist spells.) but at the cost of my own mind. Granted, over time and/or items I can recover my mind, but my MP is just a rough estimate of where I should stop.

In fact, I will add two new abilities: Channel and Flood. Channel lets me take my own HP and convert it to MP, and Flood lets me add MP to my basic manacost to amplify it. So think about it...a basic 64MP Freezeblink, with a 1.5x type bonus, with a Flood amplify of 6.25x, yeah it would pretty much take me down to nil HP, but think about the effects...Taking down an entire Peep Army with one spell! Yes, it may be too powerful, but it has a huge negitive effect: one miss can be my downfall and a KO/death.</i>

Xion steps on a twig. A peep's head turns quickly, then faces foreward slowly.

[Risp_old]

<i>You have items from too many games. Really.</i>

Martin nods to his right, and a bird appears there. This bird is a black bird, and has a noticable holographic generator strapped to his back. He casts Holocloak on Martin Teimet! Martin Teimet is now invisible! The bird dissepears again.
Marting Teimet uses a high-potion!
He gets healed 2000 hp!

<i>... you act three times in one turn and once you use a skill to lift a status effect that prevents you from using skills? Then you attack in a way the RPG format you are using does not allow to counter the fact that I have invisible status?</i>

Just like in Pokemon, Paralysis doesn't work every turn. You also didn't consider the fact you said that Delta appeared, but didn't disappear...O_o Also, I was thinking about using a Final Fantasy X-style turn system, with the CTB window and everything like that.
... you act three times in one turn and once you use a skill to lift a status effect that prevents you from using skills?
Says the guy who has character that just hit me three times in one attack. XD

But seriously, if you didn't like what happened in my last post, we can:
-Ignore my last post,
OR
-Switch to a CTB system.

[Risp_old]

<i>You hit me with three techniques in a row, so don't talk. After that, I thought "Oh, if he can use three techniques in a row I can attack three times in a row." I just attacked three times. Imagine running up to someone and slashing at them three times, instead of running up, slashing, running back, ect.

I forgot to say he did. However, I can assume you infered he did, since he has passive invisiblity.

That still does not explain how you can hit me while invisible while no RPGs allow you to do that kind of stuff. I might as well say I cut your arm off and lower your attack to zero.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

L_G recovers, but the paralysis sets in again. "This guy is good..." L_G says to himself. He tries to get a lock on the duo's spiritual energy.

Taunt: "Even if you do destroy me, I can come back...I have...my children..."

[Risp_old]

<i>Interesting. Thinking to yourself and trying to sense people's energy while you are having a seizure ;)

Two things:
-Don't you watch Dragonball Z?
AND
-Pay attention to Kamikura and Tracy.

-QWERTYUIOP is my friend, although I don't think he'll be here anytime soon...

Xion and Rach come to a clearing as night falls on Gran Da Val. "Set up camp or telepipe back to base?" Xion asks Rach. Rach nuzzles Xion's pocket, where the telepipes are stored. "I'll take that as pipe." Xion says, and activates the pipe. Rach and Xion enter it, and disappear in a brilliant flash of light...


...leaving behind a large red light within the clearing.

"How the heck am I supposed to turn THIS," Professor Jeff complained, pointing to the tiny Gradius ship. "Into THIS??!" he shouted, pointing at the blueprints for the Interceptor.
"You're the scientist, figure it out," said Jeanie casually as she filed her nails. Shelby was reading 'Warrior Monthly' magazine. The other monsters were doing other stuff in other places. Otherly.

L_G regains 700 HP.

<i>Ok. I'll play it your way, then.</i>

Martin equips his dragon ring. It gives him auto-regen, auto-reraise, and auto-haste, and raises his attack damage.

Martin's invisibility fades. He says, "nowhere. We are still on your ship, the scenery is just holographic. However, that is not for long..."
The scenery fades, and is replaced by the ship. After a moment a portal opens, and they are sucked in.

Now, they are on the moon, behind the magic amplifier. A atmospheric generator is nearby, as there is breathable air here. The mage there turns. He is wearing a deep black cloak with chains, glowing blue in the faint light, sewn in. He looks in the direction of Lem_Gambino (which is hard to tell. His face is in the shadow of the cloak), and then starts to talk.
"Welcome. I am Tangent the Warp Sorcerer. I am also here to defeat you. You will not find me as easy as them two."
He holds his hands out. A line of blue flame shoots out, and starts twisting in the air. Soon a spiral of the magic flame is in front of him, shimmering and shining. With a wave of his hand, the spiral breaks in it's midpoint and the flames scatter and dissapate. The air seems to darken. In a rush of energy, Lem_Gambino is knocked to the floor. Tangent cast Spiral Breaker!\
Lem_Gambino's hp is now at 1! Tangent cannot act next turn!
Martin and Delta are unable to act, as they are still disoriented.

<i>Tangent-
Class: warp sorcerer
*mage chains: immunity to physical attacks; passive
*wildfire: deals high fire damage to one target
*waterfall: deals high water damage to one target
*tornado: deals high wind damage to one target
*earthquake: deals high earth damage to one target
*gridfire: deals high non-elemental damage to all targets
*spiral breaker: reduces all targets to one hp; Tangent forfeits next turn
*condition warp (overdrive): all allies, including Tangent, have their health restored to full, get all negitive status effects removed, and are raised if they are dead.</i>

[Xion]

Xion, within Gran Da Val, notices a blink out of the window. Looking out, he sees a large black crater on one of Ragol's moons. "What the..." Xion mumbles says under his breath, and rushes off to the roof.

[Lem_Gambino]

'Hmm, let's see...I just got attacked by some Sephoroth wanna-be, and I'm outnumbered. This won't be easy,' thinks L_G.

L_G hits Overdrive! L_G uses Shooting Star! Tangent takes 738 HP damage and is sent flying...right out of the atmospheric generator's range... Tangent is *almost* dead and crispy.
L_G uses First Aid. L_G recovers 201 HP and can use items again.
L_G uses an X-Potion (he only has 2 of these). L_G's HP is fully recovered.

[Risp_old]

<i>I checked gamefaq's, and I got the impression that in FFTA, 'maintenance' means the item cannot be stolen. Whatever.

Which means the last action you did was impossible. And I don't remember seeing you being able to use shooting star... but whatever.

EDIT- I checked your skill list.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Yeah, maintance makes it so that theives cannot take items, like Gil and equipment, but it doesn't say anything about stopping action of items. That's something for immunity, not maintance.</i>

Xion gets to the roof and looks at the moon as a large flash appears on it. "What in the name of everything holy is going on up there?" Xion mumbles.

[Risp_old]

<i>Anyway, Tangent's mage chains passive ability would make him immune to any of L_G's techniques. Unless those warrior techniques are actually for some strange reason magic spells.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Argh, didn't see that. >_<

L_G's Overdrive is completely ineffective against Tangent... =O
Taunt: "You know what, I'm done with this. D-O-N-E. I was just trying to get back home, but your stupid employer thought I was evil and stuff. I never meant to harm anybody, alright? I hope you can tell Risp and Starto that. I'm outta here!"
L_G flees from battle!

'As long as those two are on my case, my life's a living heck. I've got to get out of here!' thinks L_G as he runs from his pursuers. 'I hope at least one of these rust buckets of transports can get me off of this moon..' L_G heads for the Launch Bay.

<i>Does Lem_Gambino have his own air source?</i>

[Strato]

Night time. Strato ordered all his soldiers to relay status reports on timed intervals and never stray from the group. With little else to do, they continued to slowly march forward until suddenly.

"Hey, whats that red light?" A peep whispered through his radio.
"I don't know. Niz. Can you tell what it is?" Strato asked.

[Risp_old]

Niz looks at it carefully.
"It could be several things. However, the only thing which exists on this planet that could leave behind a red light like that is a telepipe."
She starts to go to it.

[Lem_Gambino]

No, but considering the fact that he biult the Interceptor, I'm sure he can forge a scrap heap of spaceship, or find himself a spacesuit. Or he can just use Konami Code like Vegeta did...that is, if he knew about it...XP

"That...was...hard..." panted Vegeta. Even in his Supaer Saiyan 3 form he had a hard time taking down the final boss, the Chaos Happy Face. "I'm going to be able to smile again without thinking about THAT horrid thing!" Vegeta said as he recovered.
"...WELL?!"
"Oh alright, fine. You can go now..." the mysterious voice said. The world faded around Vegeta, and he found himself on deserted island...
...with all of the Dragonballs.
"I just thought I'd get these for you, ka know, as an apology for taking you into that game world. Can you forgive me?"
Vegeta grinned. "Of course. Just don't do it again, or I won't be so forgivng next time..."

Vegeta has found all 7 Dragonballs!!!
Vegeta rests. He's had a hard day, after all...

[Risp_old]

<i>Wow. L_G must be a real talented guy to be able to make a spacesuit out of scrap metal while suffocating.</i>

Martin and Delta board their ship, which was traveling to the moon at full speed all that time. After the ship seals, Tangent holds his hands in the air. The atmospheric generator turns off. Tangent teleports away, grinning in the depths of his hood.

[Strato]

Iso <i>;P</i> and the rest of his attack party walk into the telepipe. They find themselves within some foreign infrastructure. Suddenly a strange creature emerges from the darkness.

Battle mode:

Gibbles attacks Strato.
Strato takes 734 damage.
Strato and co. all attack Gibbles. with whatever.
Gibbles takes big huge amount of damage and dies.

[Lem_Gambino]

Vegeta uses the Dragonballs!!! =O
The sky above Earth/Ragol/whatever turns dark, lighting and thunder rumble through the sky as a massive green dragon descends from the sky. His name is Shenron, and has come to grant two wishes...

BTW, I have NO IDEA how Shenron was able to grant two wishes- I thought it was only one. But that appearantly all changed during the Buu Saga...O_o

"State your first wish," Shenron bellowed. "Restore the Asian continent(sp?) and all of it's people back to life!" called out Vegeta.
"...It shall be done." replies the dragon. It's eyes glowed red as it worked it's magic. Soon, Asia was restored, and all of it's people brought back to life.

Trunks woke up. "Whoa, what just happened?" he asked. Bulma looked around. "Looks like we were revived by the Dragonballs!" she replies.

Somewhere in the Shadow Realm, Beth reached out of the dark earth and looked around. "Okay, who's bright I idea was it to blow me up and bury me here?" she said irratably.
*TACKLEHUGGING*
Jeanie rushed at Beth the moment she heard her voice. "I'm so glad you're alive!!" said an ecstatic Jeanie, holding Beth in a big bear hug. "There's a whole lotta stuff that just happened now..."
"That's nice, but I can't breathe..." choked Beth.
"Sorry," Jeanie loosened her grip. "So, anyway, we were going to go home when this guy showed up and..."

"State your second wish," bellowed Shenron. "Restore L_G to his normal self!" requested Vegeta.
"It cannot be done."
"W-What?!"
"The one called L_G is no longer petrified. He is suffocating on the moon."
"Oh. Well, transport him here then!"
"Very well, it shall be done."
Shenron worked his magic, and L_G appeared next to Vegeta, gasping for air. "That...was...to close..." he panted.
"Your wishes have been granted. Now I must go," says Shenron. He disappeared, and the Dragonballs were scattered once again.

[Xion]

Xion, re-entering the base from the roof, sees the screen of his computer blinking red. "How on Ragol?" Xion whispers, then sits down quickly. Not noticing that he is bending his tail in a very uncomfortable manner, he types in a few things to get Strato and his peep army on screen. Xion types a few things and the words LOCKDOWN appear at the bottom of the screen, then Xion readjusts his tail. "Let's see them and their little puffballs get through this security."


Every door within Gran Da Val shuts tightly, smashing a peep in a doorway and seperating Strato and one member of his party from the rest of his party.

<i>Interactive time! Strato, pick out one member other than yourself within your party and the rest get seperated into a second party. If there are only two, then you two are split up completely. Cheerio.</i>

<i>Iso's inventory:</i>

O_o Nothing at all?

[Risp_old]

<i>Replying on the behalf of Strato-

Iso is not Strato, durnit!</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Okay then...who is who??? I'm confused...

[Risp_old]

<i>Iso is that guy who destroyed the continent, you know? Then dissapeared.
Strato is the Peep General that is in Ragol, and is also Infinite Spaz's perfered name.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Thanks, that makes much more sense now.

"You okay?" asks Vegeta, powering down to his normal state.
"Barely," replies L_G, laying down on the sand, exhausted. "What'd I miss?"
"Nothing important. Need a lift?"
L_G sits up. "Um, okay, where're you going to take me?"
"Back to Capsule Corp. I figure that if my wife can make a time machine, I'm sure it can't be that difficult for her to make a dimensional portal for you to use..."

* * *

"WHAAAAT?! You expect me to build something I have no IDEA on how it works??!!" shouts an angry Bulma. "Time machines are easy for me, but it's near IMPOSSIBLE for me build a dimensional portal if I have no idea how to do it!!!"
"That's why I'm here to help," says L_G.
Bulma calms down. "Y-You are?" she stammers.
"Well, yeah! I know how to make a dimensional portal in just a few days."
"Well in that case..." Bulma goes into the back of the building, where the workshop is, and comes back with a bunch of tools. She plops them into L_G's arms. "...You do it. I've got a business deal to make. And Trunks will help you too!"
Trunks, who was sitting in the living room and watching TV, suddenly blurted out, "W-What?! But Mom, the Blitzball game is on!"
"DO IT..." Bulma's eyes flared with anger.
"Oh, all right, I'll help..." Trunks reluctantly pulled himself from the TV screen to assist L_G, who was more than happy to let Trunks carry all of the the tools. 'Why did I come to fix the past if THIS was going to be my future???' Trunks thought.

* * *

"So, how are going to fix this mess?" asks Kamikura.
"First we get that big ugly spaceship off of the landing pad. It's blocking out the sun," replies Tracy.
"No problem."
It was beautiful sunny day in Animenia's Pandamonium Manor, Kamikura an Tracy decided to take this time to relax and enjoy the sunshine, especially since they had to escape from Archie and his evil Food Warrior army...
The only thing that could ruin their day was the fact the wreck of the Interceptor was in the way of the sun's rays, severely impeding their tanning progress. However, Kamikura remedied that situation by going inside and lowering the launch pad back into the repair bay, and sealing it up with the lawn hatch that concealed the launch bay below.
"That's better," says Kamikura, coming back out of the house. Tracy smiled at him. Shortly after, an alarm beeped. "Time to turn over, says Tracy as both she and him turned over to point their untanned sides up at the sky. Tracy was reading an anime magazine, and Kamikura took this chance to take out his Game Buy Advance SP and beat Golden Sun...again.
"Don't you get the feeling we're forgetting something?" asks Tracy, looking up from her magazine at her boyfriend.
"What, about L_G?" replied Kamikura, without looking up from his game.
"Shouldn't we go and find him?"
"Yeah, but I'm too lazy."
Tracy smiled again. "Yeah, me too. I'm sure he can take care of himself."

* * *

Which was ironic because at that exact same moment, Rabid Monkeys attacked West City.
"WHY, GUARDIANS?? WHY DO YOU FORSAKE ME SO???!!!!" cried out L_G as he was buried under a wave of more monkeys overcame him.

[Xion]

Xion browses around on his computer.

"Let's see what we have here....Lem was in my plane for...erm..." Xion looks at the clock on his computer and says "An hour. Then he quickly zips off to another plane. Something must have brought him there." Xion tacks in a few things in his keyboard, and a picture of L_G trampled appears on his screen. "So that's where he is. Time for me to pay him a visit." Xion says with a grin. Xion gets up, and drops through a small portal and hangs by his tail between dimensions.
<hr>
Xion is now hanging upside-down in the upper corner of the area where Lem is <i>or was</i> working.

[Lem_Gambino]

"GET OFFA ME!!!" shouts Vegeta. He gives off a massive power burst that destroys all of the monkeys, but also destroys Capsule Corp. Surprisingly, no one is hurt.
SLAP!
Correction. One person was hurt. Vegeta. Courtesy of Bulma.
"WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA, YOU JERK?!" shouts an even angrier Bulma, "YOU COULD'VE KILLED US ALL! I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY MISTER, 'CUZ NOW WE'RE ALL HOMELESS!!!"
"B-B-But, Bulma-" Vegeta stuttered, sounding more like Porky Pig than his usual tough guy self.
"DON'T YOU 'BUT' ME, VEGETA! YOU WRECKED THIS PLACE, AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO GET A JOB AND PAY FOR ALL OF THE DAMAGE YOU DID!!!!"

Bulma uses Pull on Ear. Vegeta is under Bulma's control!
Bulma uses a Convertable Car Capsule. She and Vegeta get in.
Taunt: "DRIVE, YOU!"
Counter-Taunt: "But I don't know how..."
Taunt: "I SAID DRIVE!!!!"
Vegeta floors it. Destination: Century 21.

While everyone else is recovering, Bulla (Vegeta's and Bulma's daughter) pulls up in her motorcycle. "Oh my," she says, "Did you guys remodel while I was out?"
Trunks gives a sigh of 'I-can't-beleive-an-alternate-future-of-myself-saved-these-people-and-left-me-to-suffer' kind of sigh, and faints.
L_G pokes his head out of the wreckage. "Was that really nesscessary?" he gripes. Trunks groans in pain and annoyance. Bulla is still clueless. Just then, L_G sees a familar tail poking out of the rubble. He pulls on it, and Xion appears, quite shaken up. "Xion? what are you doing here?" he says.

[Risp_old]

Tangent finishes sending a message to Rspss Fr, and gets up. He walks out of the room he is in, out into open space. Looking at the starry sky, Tangent glares at one planet in the distance containing one particularly annoying individual, insofar as can be told owing to the shadow of his hood.

[Xion]

Xion smirks. "I heard you're trying to come to my plane, so I may as well criticize every little mistake you make, just to annoy you."


<i>Suprisingly, I lost my grip and closed the portal I had kept open. That's how I'm in that plane now. I can always walk back, ofcorse. ^_^</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

L_G smirked. "Riiiight. Since you're adept at plane warping, perhaps you could assist me in-"
"OMG IT'S GIANT RABBIT WHO'S COME TO KILL US ALL!!!11" screams Bulla. "MOMMMEEEEE!!!!!!" She runs down the street in direction Vegeta and Bulma want, screaming like the screaming person that she is.
"Don't mind her," grunts Trunks, "She has an IQ of about 5 or so, give or take a few points."
L_G sweatdrops. "Like I was saying, perhaps you could give us a hand in getting me back home. That is, if you're not in the middle of something else. And no, I'm coming to YOUR plane, but then again, you exist and EVERY plane, so I guess it's impossible to escape you." L_G laughs. "If you want to know, my home dimension is Animenia."

Progress on Interceptor II: 2%
Time until Kamikura and Tracy finish tanning: ~2 hours
Time until Archie arrives: ~one day
Time until Jeanie's Hot Pockets are done: 2 minutes.

XD

[Risp_old]

Tangent finishes staring. He points at that planet, and dissapears, teleporting to Lem_Gambino.

<i>You get the first move here. And this battle is much more in your favor. Now.

Just try not to run this time, OK? It's annoying.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

....O_o It's like I'm fighting myself, in a way...And I can run away as much as I want to. *cue cheesy cartoon chase music* XD

OMG A BATTLE?!?!?!?
Taunt: "Why won't you leave me alone?! What have I ever done to you??!!"
L_G uses the Gun Mage Dressphere! L_G is now a Gun Mage!
FYI on Magic Bullets: These are bullets enchanted with magic spells, but they are not treated as magic or physical attacks, they are weapon skills, which count as regular skills (like Mug, for instance), which, to the best of my knowledge, aren't affected by Tangent's Mage Chains ability. >=)

[Risp_old]

<i>Actually, physical attacks means everything non-magical. But I will let you get away with that.</i>

Tangent holds his hands out. The world shudders; lines of energy, forming a perfect grid, blink in and out of existance. Strange flames of white energy spread around the battlefield. The pyrotechnics fade away.
Tangent casted Grid Fire!

LG takes 2500 damage!
Xion takes 2300 damage!
Vagita takes 2400 damage!
Trunks takes 2500 damage!
you get the idea...
<i>Tangent is a boss, so remember he has a high HP.
I assumed Trunks and Vagita were in this battle. If they are not, ignore the things talking about how they were damaged.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

And high magic attack, too. You alsot seemed to forget that L_G has Reflect casted on him...

The spell is relected back at Tangent! L_G is unaffected. Tangent takes 2500 HP damage.

Vegeta and Bulma find a house!
"Oh, it's perfect! It's shaped just like our old home!" says a happy Bulma. 'Every house in West City is shaped like ours; a freakin' capsule' thinks Vegeta.
"So, how much does it cost?"
"34,712 Zenny," replies the real estate agent.
"Oh, okay." Bulma turns to Vegeta. "You heard him, Vegeta! get in the car and find us a job!" she barks. "Oh all right, already!" grumbles Vegeta, getting back in the car.

[Risp_old]

<i>Whoops. Forgot about that reflect.</i>

Tangent holds his hand out. An orb appears there, and floats into the air. The orb begins to glow red. The chains in Tangent's robe explode out, somehow without tearing his robe, and break into their component links. The links, glowing an angry red, start to orbit Tangent like the electrons in an atom. Skeletal metal wings extend from Tangent, draped with tattered scraps of black robe. With a flash of dark light, a midnight black scythe materilizes in his hands, with a blade stained red. From the depths of his hood, two flames marking his eyes burst into being and glow a blood red.
Insofar as can be told, Tangent smiles.

Tangent takes his scythe and slashed Lem_Gambino with it!

Lem_Gambino has taken 500 damage and has 'reflect' dispelled!

<i>Tangent has transformed to his second form!

[Xion]

"OMG IT'S GIANT RABBIT WHO'S COME TO KILL US ALL!!!11" screams Bulla. "MOMMMEEEEE!!!!!!"<i>Rabbit? Since when has a Nu Mou looked like a rabbit?</i>

Xion mumbles something inaudibly as he gets up from the blast that hit him. "Wanna play rough? I'll show you rough." Xion rips five portals around Tangent: One in front, One in back, Two on the sides, and One above, Entrapping Tangent in a sphere of antimatter. "Let's see you get out of this sticky prediciment." Xion smirks.

<i>Small question...If he touches my Antimatter jail cell and gets caught in the biggest contained explosion known within the plane, could I get banned for using an instant kill technique? Now, granted <b>I</b> did not kill him, but I set up how he died.</i>

"May as well surrender, unless you have a natural resonance to Antimatter." Xion yells at Tangent. "Oh yeah, and if you're wondering...Yes, I am a planeswalker."

[Lem_Gambino]

Rabbit? Since when has a Nu Mou looked like a rabbit?
Since Bulla saw those large ears of yours.

[Xion]

Since Bulla saw those large ears of yours.
<i>Ehem...the ears go DOWN...how can that be considered like a rabbit...Ah screw it, She's retarded you said?</i>

[Risp_old]

Tangent waves his scythe. The anti-matter is banished to it's point of origin.

Tangent holds his scythe foreward. It glows, and an imaginary storm focuses around Xion. Tangent cast mind mastery!

Xion is confused!
Xion is berserked!
Xion is scared!

<i>Xion, try not to use techniques that are not on your spell chart. If you do, I will too.

And that is perfectally fine, as long as you are killed forever with it.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Xion, try not to use techniques that are not on your spell chart. If you do, I will too.</i>
<i>But Planeswalking is what I do...So what if I use my planeswalking abilities otherwise...I guess I could have been banned, but it seems that Tangent has planeswalking abilities too...to an extent.</i>

Xion is now curled up underneath some rubble, hybernating.

[Risp_old]

<i>But Planeswalking is what I do...So what if I use my planeswalking abilities otherwise...I guess I could have been banned, but it seems that Tangent has planeswalking abilities too...to an extent.
He has teleportation. Like dimensional transportation, those don't need to be listed because they do not directly effect battle (they are just different ways of running away).

However, being able to summon huge chunks of anti-matter does directly affect your combat abilities, needless to say.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Trunks Taunt: *grins*
Trunks uses a Senzu Bean! Xion's HP is fully recovered, and all negative status effects are removed.

L_G fires off two Ultima Shots!
Tangent takes 1499 HP damage.
Tangent takes 1563 HP damage.
Bulla is still asleep.

Vegeta has just started his job at Krispy Cremes. He has not made any money yet.
"...I hate my life," grumbles Vegeta. "Aw, is that any way to greet our customers?" says an overly enthusiastic employee.
Progress on Interceptor II: 5%
Progress on Interceptor: N/A. Kamikura and Tracy sold it on eBay to help buy a 2000-inch plasma screen TV.
Jeanie's current goal: Holding onto her sanity. She's been kept up late at night, because Beth and Professor Jeff are arguing over the existance of the Dragonballs.

* * *

Ozzie and his girlfriend Olivia watched Archie closely from the safety of closed-circuit camera. Ozzie pressed a button, and the view switched to a split-screen view, showing Kamikura and Tracy on one side, Jeanie and her platoon on the other. Ozzie shook his head. "At this rate, they'll never be ready in time for the invasion. We have to intervene."
"But, other Food Warriors are up there," says Olivia in a concerned tone. "What if we have to fight them?"
"Those Fast Food tribes are nothing but trouble. We'll try to avoid combat, but if worse comes to worse, we always have the Dragonballs," Ozzie said in as a reassuring tone as possible. Trying to blunt an attack of this magnitude was like trying to stop the tide...
"Of course, I forgot," Olivia replies, slightly relaxed. 'Everything will be okay,' she kept telling herself. She didn't like to fight, but since she was a tactictian(sp?) the only thing she had to worry about was keeping Ozzie out of trouble. While she was thinking to herself, Olivia failed to notice that her boyfriend walked off. Although the current Interceptor was scrap, it could be salvged. All it takes is a little websurfing...

<i>Graghlardral... durn nogauntlet... I wish I gave Tangent an item like that...

That's just a name. He is a creature of chaos. Just related to reapers because he uses a scythe and he has a dark cloak and some of the techniques he has not learned yet are related.

And why does fire hurt the creatures of the underworld?</i>

All it takes is a little customizing.

I meant undead creatures, like zombies and such. In the first Final Fantasy, undead were weak against fire. I just assumed Tangent was undead since he transformed into reaper.

[Lem_Gambino]

Eh, whatever. Let's just ignore the Senzu Bean comment and leave it at that.

[Risp_old]

Tangent sighs, and then sticks his scythe out.
A wheel of runes, inscripted as white lines floating in the air, appears around him and begins to turn. The wheel blurs and splits into two wheels, orbiting around Tangent. Tangent spins his scythe in the air, and it forms another, smaller wheel. The wheel expands, and blurs into another two wheels. The four wheels moved themselves into position around the four targets. They closed in... and in a flash dissapear...
Tangent casted Wheels of Chaos!

[Xion]

Xion rolls over in his sleep, and mumbles a few things in his sleep inaudibly. A slight movement of the earth, but nothing more.

[Risp_old]

Tanget takes out a book, and waits till the stunning on someone wears off.

<i>So, basically, keep on taking turns untill someone is able to act.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Xion rolls over in his sleep, and mumbles a few things in his sleep inaudibly. A slight movement of the earth, but nothing more.
How can you roll around if you're frozen solid???

[Xion]

Xion's tail twitches, as he moves a piece of rubble off of him. He yawns, stretches, and notices everybody around him, spare Tangent, is immobile. Xion looks at the piece of rubble he was under, and sees that there was a mirror mixed in. "Hm. THIS gives me an idea." Xion props the mirror up and hides behind it.

Xion rips a portal and hops in. The mirror slams, and catches Tangent's attention. Tangent, closing his book slowly, starts to approach the mirror. A portal rips behind Tangent, and Xion reappears in a new set of garb, a mirror shild, and Rach at his side.

<i>CLASS SWITCH! Xion is now a Sage, who can use shields. That's basically all that a sage can really do. All Alchemist abilities have been replaced with Sage abilities.

SAGE ABILITIES:
Drain - Drain HP from a target to caster
Raise - Raises dead units, splash casting.
Giga Flare - High mana cost, heavy damage. splash casting.
Bio - Poisons target
Wise Combo = OVERDRIVE


For the record, I was under rubble when I was bezerked, silenced, and confused. And since there was a mirror in there, I was basically immune to the spells cast at me. Since "Reflect = sending spells back at caster" I was immune...untill I woke up. ^_^</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>Xion, you were immobilized also.</i>

[Xion]

<i>For the record, I was under rubble when I was bezerked, silenced, and confused. And since there was a mirror in there, I was basically immune to the spells cast at me. Since "Reflect = sending spells back at caster" I was immune...untill I woke up. ^_^</i><i>See, I covered that.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>No. You sent Wheels of Chaos back to Tangent. Tangent's chaos iron sends the status effects back.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Now how does that work?</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>The chaos iron skills sends status effects that effect Tangent back to their source. That would send them back to Xion</i>

[Xion]

<i>The chaos iron skills sends status effects that effect Tangent back to their source. That would send them back to Xion</i>
<i>Suprisingly, no. I myself did not send the spell back by will, it was by chance. So Tangent would be statusing a mirror.

Now that I have a mirror shileld, then NOW the Chaos Iron effect would target me.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

<i>Suprisingly, no. I myself did not send the spell back by will, it was by chance. So Tangent would be statusing a mirror.

Now that I have a mirror shileld, then NOW the Chaos Iron effect would target me.</i>
But wouldn't they bounce off the shield, then back at Tangent, then back and forth, like sort of deadly game of Pong? O_o

Anyway, back to the storyline...

Pawn is attacked by Norton Antivirus!
Norton Taunt: "You do not have authorized access to this computer. You shall be de-rezzed."
Pawn attacks! Norton takes 5678 HP damage. Norton is dead and crispy.
Pawn Victory Taunt: "Pwned."

[Xion]

But wouldn't they bounce off the shield, then back at Tangent, then back and forth, like sort of deadly game of Pong? O_o
<i>Not at all. Since a status effect is not a spell, it cannot reflect it back. So the status ailments go to the mirror, which are then null and void upon contact.</i>

Xion mumbles something, then reaches in his pocket for a small radio. "We got a big-bad, requesting two units for backup, we need a Gadgeteer with Blue Screw and no units that do status ailments...Try getting Soala down here, along with Nono."

Static over the radio is broken by the center. "I hear ya Xion..." a voice comes over, definitively Bangaa. "I'll sssend the two unitsss down asss sssoon asss they return." Olivar says back.

<i>Backup will arrive in...Let's say ten posts. Believe me, if you think that my skills are nuts, wait untill you meet my support units. *grin*</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

...Whatever.

L_G tries to communicate with his allies, but since they're in an alternate dimension, his plea for help is not heard. 'Darn it!' L_G thinks, 'There's only one thing to do...'
'Goku...I helped you save your life, I think it's time you saved mine...please, the fate of the infinite number of parallel universes depends on it...'
"FATE OF THE INFINITE NUMBER OF PARALLEL UNIVERSES?! I'm on my way!" Goku blurts out in his sleep. He flies off, leaving confused Chi-Chi, Gohan and Goten behind.
"Um, what just happened?" asks Goten.
"Something completely random," replies Gohan.
"There he goes, saving the world again..." grumbles Chi-Chi, "I still love him, though!"

Goku has entered the battle!
Goku Taunt: "I can perfectly understand your desire to harm my friend, but I won't allow that to happen!"

[Risp_old]

Tangent gets up. He holds his scythe in the air, and cuts through. A rip appears, a small wormhole, and widens. Tangent, as a warp sorceror, comes out.
Tangent called in himself from an alternate dimension!
Tangent II holds his hand out. A line of blue flame shoots out, and starts twisting in the air. Soon a spiral of the magic flame is in front of him, shimmering and shining. With a wave of his hand, the spiral breaks in it's midpoint and the flames scatter and dissapate. The air seems to darken.
All targets have their health reduced to 1!
Tangent II turns back and leaves through the wormhole, which closes.
Tangent attacks!
Critical hit!
Goku takes 800 damage!
Goku dies!

<i>I wanted for this to be a one on three or so fight at start, but...</i>

[Xion]

<i>When you got a planeswalker from the get-go, you gotta expect these things.</i>

A beeping from Xion's pocket. "What?" Xion says into the radio. Olivar responds. "We have sssome problemsss..." He starts. "Nono isss not available for battle." Xion, fuming, screams "We have Three units in need of a dispel...Unless you want to get your scaly tail down here, get me a Gadgeteer with Blue Screw down here now!" A sigh, then some typing. "Rain could be a good sssubssstitute for Nono." Olivar begins, stalling a bit. "He has Dispel learned at the moment." Xion smirks. "Send Rain." Xion replies, then puts the radio back in his pocket.

Xion casts Raise on Goku!

Beeping from Xion's pocket. "Rain here. Where am I needed?" a slithery voice echos from the radio. "Trace it to me, I have no clue where I am without my computer. Got it?" Xion says back. "Yesss..." Rain replies, then the radio goes dead. "Soala here, Kupo!" A tiny voice comes from the radio. "Soala, come on over! We could use a little speed." Xion says with a sly grin. "Kupo!" the voice squeaks, and the radio goes dead again. "Should be any time now..." Xion mumbles.

Goku holds his hands up. Life energy from L_G, Trunks, Bulla, Xion, both Tangents and everyone in West City is being collected into an energy ball.

"This has got to be the easiest run I've done in a while," Pawn says as he rummages through the computer's hard drive at high speeds.

Pawn is attacked by Virtual Bouncer!
"...Nevermind."

Two beams of light appear next to Xion. A small moogle and a large bangaa appear out of thin air. "Rain, reporting for duty!" the bangaa says. "Soala, reporting for duty!" the moogle says.

[Xion]

Xion, manipulating a small remote he pulled out of his pocket, he casts Cura on the Delbiter. Xion then manipulates the remote back to what he had it origionally, and the Delbiter struggles to get up, but fails.<i>this, specifically. Post 41.

[Risp_old]

<i>Well... at least you are honest...
You might as well post those also. L_G, that goes for you too!</i>

[Xion]

<i>Note: Boldface means Active.

Standard Abilities:

<b>Cold Element
Wind Element
Fire Element
Ultima(O)</b>
Note about Elements: They are always on, and give a 1.5x bonus to spells of the same element, and opposing elements (Water, Fire, and Ice, specifically) get a 1.5x attack bonus. Spells of the same element, though, Heal the unit rather than harm it. Fire and Ice heal me, so be warned.

Spells:

<b>Illusionist Skills - Prominence/Tempest/Freezeblink/Star Cross/Stardust/Deluge/Soil Evedence/Wild Tornado/Absorb MP(R)

Psychotics(Overdrive, Can be used like Ultima, can be used for five actions or twenty posts, whichever comes first.) - Azoth/Lifebreak/Ultima Blow/Doublecast/Expert Guard/Holy/Dragonheart(R)/Concentrate(S)

Psychotics, yes, is a new ability. Going from Xion's past, taking abilities from all of his bloodlines: Viera, Nu Mou, and Bangaa. It only lasts a little bit, though, so he has to act quickly to make the most out of it.

A few mistakes: Fairy Slippers should be Fairy <u>Shoes</u>, The armor is not a Mage Robe but a Temple Cloth (Class switch error), and Acacia Hat was spelled wrong. I'll fix them right now.</i>

I got rid of the Red Mage dressphere since I don’t really need it. Ulitma and Stun Shots consume mana, but the other bullets don't.

[Risp_old]

Again with the blargh.

L_G fires two Firaga Bullets!
Tangent takes 1723 HP damage.
Tangent takes 1735 HP damage.

[Risp_old]

<i>Why do the bullets you shoot that take no mana deal more damage than the ones that do?</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

Ultima Shots are a bit weaker than the other bullets. Also, the magic bullets are considered weapon attacks, and both of L_G's guns have Weapon Attack +20%. And since Tangent is a spellcaster type of person, he should naturally have a higher magic defense intstead of weapon defense.

[Risp_old]

<i>Why are Ultima shots weaker than other bullets? Ultima shots take mana; other bullets do not.
Anyway, Tangent is a fighter-caster hybrid. He has more physical defense, since some of the power of his mage chains remains.</i>

[Lem_Gambino]

L_G's weapon attack is a bit higher than his magic attack, that's why. How much HP does Tangent have, anyway???

[Risp_old]

<i>No, you said 'Ultima Shots are a bit weaker than the other bullets.' This implies that they are naturally weaker. Anyway, if they are weaker, why did you keep using them?

Tangent's HP-

<i>Wow. You should be dead by now, according to those numbers, since on an average turn I deal around 2000 damage to you.</i>

<i>I was talking about L_G's Ultima shot ability, and all his shot abilities for that matter.</i><i>Any and every Ultima Ability is 80xWorld Modifier.</i>

<i>?</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>I mean, when I wrote that part of the ability I intended it to silence anyone who affected Tangent with magic, as a deterrent. However, I did not intend it to stop working for multi-target spells. I didn't realize that the wording I used wasn't enough for the task.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Please, I use the same tactics in M:tG. "You can't target me." "Okay fine. I use Lunge and then use Radiate on it. Your twelve monsters take 2 damage each and you take 24 damage." "But I take no damage because I cannot be targeted!" "You were not targeted, your monster was. YOU LOSE." hahahah so fun.

...Should I say it?




<b>49797 DAMAGE!</b>

Tangent is Fried and Crispy.

[Risp_old]

<i>No, that would be more like reading a guide to a game, and noticing it said the HP of a boss is 12, while it was a mistake and the hp was actually 12000000. So you go there and expect to kill the boss in one hit.

Anyway, 49795 damage is really cheap. It could kill most people in two hits.</i>

[Xion]

Tangent's HP - 33052/64250
<i>33052-5034-49797=-21779. I think that constutes to an "overkill award" somewhat. Wouldn't you say that the battle is finished?


But that's only because of the 10x damage modifier. I'm sure if this was Gran Da Val it would bemore around 200-300ish

[Risp_old]

<i>No no no no no. What I am saying is that you should have been silenced, and that you wern't because I worded to spell wrong. Anyway, if you play by those rules, I might play cheap too.</i>

[Xion]

<i>Feel free to. Manipulate the stack.</i>

Xion and company stand over Tangent's courpse.

"Is it over?" Soala squeaks.

"I think ssso..." Rain remarks.

"Careful..." Xion begins. "He's a planeswalker. Anything could happen."

[Risp_old]

From his tattered robe, Tangent's orb rises. It, floating in the air, issues a bright red flash. It floats higher into the sky, out of the reach of most.

Tangent turns. Only one eye still glows that unnatural red. His robe, ripped in numerous places, has a dull red light issuing from it. Occasionally, one of his chaos links breaks orbit and crashes into the ground. His wings, now torn into numerous, often unconnected, peices, still somehow act as a whole. His scythe, broken in two in the middle of it's blade, it held in place by a dull red force.

<i>Tangent-
class: re-united soul
*soul trigger: counterattack; any skill used on Tangent is used on it's user
*link strike: deals moderate non-elemental damage
*phase scythe: deals extremly high non-elemental damage
*project chaos: confuses all enemies
*project anger: berzerks all enemies
*project wounds: deals damage to one target inversly proportinal to Tangent's HP
*project hunger: all enemies loose moderate amount of mana
*project sorrow: slows all enemies
*project unsolidity: lowers the attack power of one target to 0
*project being (overdrive): uses all 'project' spells on all targets.
*invade mind: forces target to do something

hp: 45000


Orb-
class: blood orb
*redirect energy: counterattack; whenever Orb is hurt heal Tangent by that amount
*blaze force: heals Tangent a moderate amount
*siphon force: all targets loose a small amount of mana and HP to orb
*pull strings: Tangent attacks a target twice
*skill call: uses the skill of any character. unable to do anything next turn
*overdrive call (overdrive): uses the overdrive of any character. unable to do anything next turn
*re-unite soul: raise Tangent

hp: 200000


Oh, and if the orb dies, Tangent dies. Sorta.

"My brother has fallen...I must help him!" says Nadia, awakened by an upset in the elemental balance. She wakes up, gets dressed, and grabs a Backup Disk.
Nadia found Backup Disk!
Nadia sighs. "I was afraid to do this...very bad things could happen if the uplink goes wrong...but heck, bad stuff is about to happen anyway. What do we have to lose?"
'Your life.'
"Wh-What???" Nadia whirled around, looking for the source of the voice. I sounded familiar...but it couldn't be, they died years ago...
"It was probably the wind," Nadia says to herself. "Now then..." Nadia picked up the mouse, and clicked on the last place L_G went: Jazz 2 Online Community Forums.

POIT! Nadia appears out of thin air next to Xion.
"Don't be alarmed, I'm here to help," says Nadia, seeing the looks of suprise on evrryone's face. She looks down, and sees the dead L_G. "Oh, Lem_Gambino...my dear brother..."
She kneels down next to her fallen sibling, tears welling in her eyes. However, her face turns from sorrow to determination, as she reaches into her pocket and takes out the backup disk...
"I only have one shot at this...It'd better count!"
Nadia uses Backup Disk!
"UP, UP, DOWN, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT, B, A, START!" Nadia chants.
'Tears of sorrow, Heart's loving light,
Bring us to our full power, so we may do what's right!'
'RELEASE!!' <---- Too much Cardcaptor Sakura

There's a bright flash of light. Nadia disappears, but reappears...along with L_G.
'Nadia, thank you...I owe you big time!'
'No problem. Just don't get yourself killed again, you know how hard it is to make those disks...'
'Don't worry about it. Right now, let's kick the plaster out of this guy!'

L_G has become Backup L_G!

<i>Tangent was only suppost to, at first, have two forms. But then Xion came and exploited the bad wording of one of my abilities, and did so twice in a row.
And annoyed me by putting words in my mouth.</i>

The dull red glow shaping Tangent shoots out, and his body crumples. The glow glides forwards, and enters Backup Nadia! Tangent used Invade Mind!

Backup Nadia uses Grand Summon!
Backup Nadia summons Lavos!
Lavos shoots a storm of spines into the air!

Backup Lem_Gambino takes 6000 damage!
Trunks takes 6400 damage!
Trunks is dead (and crispy)!
Bulla takes 5600 damage!
Bulla is dead (and crispy)!
Goku takes 6700 damage!
Rach takes 5600 damage!
Rach is dead (and crispy)!
Xion would have taken 6400 damage, but that damage is reflected to Backup Nadia!
Soala takes 6500 damage!
Soala is dead (and crispy)!
Rain takes 5200 damage!
Rain is dead (and crispy)!
Backup Nadia's overdrive meter is now at 0%.

Tangent's energy returns to it's former body, and Tangent gets up.

The Orb flares, and the burst of red flame spirals into a void. From it, comes a burst of radio energy, short but fierce. Orb uses skill call, and from it uses Radiating Breaker!

Backup Lem_Gambino takes 1200 damage!
Backup Lem_Gambino is dead (and crispy)!
Goku takes 1500 damage!
Goku is dead (and crispy)!
Backup Nadia takes 1200 damage!
Backup Nadia is dead (and crispy)!
Xion would have taken 1300 damage, but that damage is reflected to the Orb!

The orb flares, and the energy of the attacks is directed to Tangent.
Tangent is healed 9566 HP!

<i>Oh, I forgot to post the Orb's inventory-

shard of tears x 10- powerful healing item
shard of fear x 5 - makes target invincible for this turn and next turn
And, FYI, ordinary items have no effect on Orb

And, to give you an idea, since the start of the battle my policy was make it harder the more allies the enemy calls in. Just though you should know.

Tangent- HP: 45000/45000, MP: 300/500 Overdrive: 10%
Orb- HP: 190434/200000 MP: 9500/10000 Overdrive: 8%

Oh, and it might be helpful to know this-
Tangent is now like a half ghost. He is strong against solid types of magic like earth, steel and non-elemental but weak against fire. The orb, owing to it's altitude, is weak against wind but strong against fire and immune to earth.

And, as a final final note, Tangent is unable to be affected by his 'project' skills.

EDIT- @XION: what does splash casting mean? It affects everyone? It affects nearby people?

[Strato]

The orb lowers from the sky, and enters Tangent's robe. Tangent, isofar as can be told, smirks and teleports away.

[Xion]

<i>EDIT- @XION: what does splash casting mean? It affects everyone? It affects nearby people?
</i>
<i>It targets units nearby. Tangent's Chaos Iron, as it stood in the previous battle, would have acted against these spells. However, Illusionist abilities do not target the unit directly and thusly anti-magic abilities (Return Magic, for example) have no effect since it is only affective on single target than multi target.


And you seem to have forgotten something: Rach was still covering me. So Rach is nice and crispy, rather than me.</i>

"Rach! Rach!" Xion says, frantically. He holds Rach's limp body as he rips a portal. "You need rest. Go." Xion says, assisting Rach to the portal. Rach flops in, and the portal closes. Rach has left the feild of Battle!

Note: I did a little retooling with the math, since I kinda messed up before. Maxes are the exact same.</i>

<i>You loose. Rach died before the spell hit you. Unless cover continues working it the coverer is dead, which is just stupid.</i>

[Xion]

<i>You loose. Rach died before the spell hit you. Unless cover continues working it the coverer is dead, which is just stupid.</i>
<i>It covers untill it's the unit's turn again. Since it still hasn't been Rach's turn untill now, as long as she had a breath she covered for me and took the huge hit.


And thanks for the idea of kill. *grin* I just need a way to amp my Wind power via weaponry.</i>

[Risp_old]

<i>So, basically, the corpse of Rach was floating around and getting in the way of giant spines falling from the sky at terminal velocity which are capable of destroying cities and exploding very big?</i>

[Xion]

<i>Rach was under rubble, but when the Cover comes into effect the covered and Rach would switch places instantaneously and momentarially. So to answer your question, yes.</i>
