Rako was in shock for a few moments not saying a word. He summoned another two swords of darkness but couldn't understand what he had just seen. She utilized a consumers power? How was this possible? Did all the abilities of a consumer stick with her? Rako's mind was riddled with questions. He simply waited for her to attack, dropping some darkness into the ground just in case she got tougher than what Rako could handle.
"I never thought you the type to give up." Rako said simply. Rako then lowered his weapons as he looked at the poor creature. He smiled "Now I know who you remind me of. You remind me of Torxber... You know, I think he even talked about you a couple of times. You would be Clara, wouldn't you? Too bad all he ever said was that you were a joke and a waste of time." Rako then threw his dark sword at Claire, but before it hit her, it stopped and began attacking her as if a person was holding it.
Rako ignored her, quickly realizing her foolish attempts to get information. Rako then used the darkness around him to blow her into the air. While the darkness itself didn't hurt Claire, it still threw her at least four feet above Rako. Rako then began slashing at her, not allowing her to fall back down.
Rako could tell this would be an exciting challenge. "Oh my!" said Rako as he dodged her attacks. "I can tell you are not from around here! Your power is extraordinary! You remind me of someone. But who?" Rako dwelled on the thought while he jumped back away from Claire and then formed two swords of darkness in each hand to combat her two swords. Rako then summoned darkness which circled around him. He then charged at Claire attacking her with his two swords.
Music Rako lied down, pretending to be one of the dead bodies at the scene. Thankfully Allen and Claire stood right next to him... Rako quickly got up, grabbed Allen's wrist, formed a sword of darkness, and stabbed the boy directly in the stomach with no time to react. The sword then disappeared leaving nothing to hold Allen's insides in place. Rako then jumped back away from Claire, knowing she might attack him while he wasn't ready. "I am afriad I can not let you go past this point..." said Rako calmly with a smile on his face.
The voice returned "The longer you ignore me Allen, the stronger I will become. You may notice that you are significantly weaker, and that is because I am sapping away whatever pitiful energy you have to offer. Very soon, I will manifest myself to make you take responsibility for your actions."
I use the "more options" when I'm about to post and then check my notifications. You can select preview post and it will save your post so you can go back to that page and post if you need to check the thread. And just for the record... I was kidding.
But Riku... I think not checking before you post adds a little thrill to posting. Like: "Did I get it in before anyone posted? AW YES!!!" Understand?
Nny just walked away from the group. He didn't want any part of them. He was going to make his own plan and stick to it. He found himself walking into the slums again, but this time, it was quite devoid of life. All the people who had lived there had been completely slaughtered by the airships assult. Most of the slum dogs were killed as well and their makeshift bows and swords lie broken on the ground... as a testimate to what had been there before. A woman could be heard crying. Nny walked towards the sounds and found a woman holding her baby and sobbing... the Baby didn't make any noise. Nny grabbed the woman, made her stand up and walked her into the sewers. There, they would wait out the storm of soldiers. And afterword... Nny would try to get out from behind enemy lines.
Nny unfortunatly listened to all the dribble the... thing... could come up with. "And all you have proven to me, is that you are a waste of time." Nny put down his sword and walked away from Vendeval "And I don't want you covering my back. Now, I agree with Claire, let's find a place where we can hole up. I can't believe I'm even taking the time to stick with you people." Nny then began walked away from the group and down the street, silently declaring himself the leader and knowing the group will follow.
After slaying the remaining spies in the area, Nny came back towards the group and then put his sword at the newcomers throat. "Now, who are you? And how do we know you aren't another one like them?" He motioned to the spies he had just killed and then waited for a response.
"How do you intend to do it?" asked Nny, seriously concerned at how Allen was going to go about it. The voice was unrelenting "You have yet to understand the gravity of your failures Allen. It is time you accepted them." A sharp pain began instilling itself all throughout Allen's body. It didn't cripple him or peremantly damage him in anyway, it just provided an extra bother.
Vitan sat in the carrige with his belongings next to him. He sat quietly thinking about the journey ahead. It was rather simple from here on out. Just getting from one place to another until they arrived at their final destination.
Nny immediately ignored the destruction of the hospital, figuring it a lost cause, and began attacking the spies. Attempting to dispatch the immediate presence of the Eclipsion's until their true force arrived. The airships would be a problem. Nny might be able to take one of them down... assuming they weren't impervious to magic. And once the ground forces arrived, it would only be a matter of time before the city fell. With Allen's display of strength along with Claire's... and maybe Shero and the newcomer, together they might be able to hold off the ground forces alone. It was a difficult situation. Nny calculated these things in his head as he continued to slaughter the spies. "Allen!" Nny shouted to him "You took out one of those airships! Do you think you could take out another?" The voice distracted Allen with it's talk "You caused this. This destruction is all your fault and you know it. You destroyed that Eclipsion airship and now they have come to punish Janina for your crimes. Don't you understand? All this bloodshed, all this pain, all this suffering.... it's all YOUR fault. You've become so detached from the truth that I have slowly begun to manifest myself from the sins you have committed. Soon, I will be stronger. And while you might be able to supress me for now... I will eventually break free and make you pay." The voice paused "Don't you understand, Allen? I am you... I am the truth you hide from the world and also the truth you hide from yourself."
Man, this is upsetting. This thread started out so hopeful and now here we all are... scrapping around for information! This is awful! You know, it's times like these where I wonder of Square really does hate its fans? I mean, most company's are really open about their information and get things out in a very timely and efficient manner. Square just doesn't to be one of those company's. I mean, there have been multiple FF XIII games (Which I personally do not like.) and a lot of Kingdom Hearts games that have been coming out (All on different platforms. Grrr...) But FF XIV turned out horribly and for some reason they can't get ANY information out on FF Versus XIII! What could possibly be stopping them?!
"Well, the way things have been turning out, I'm sure we'll figure out what it is soon..." Vitan held his bag of items in his right hand with his sword held in his left. Vitan then motioned at Suri "C'mon, let's get going." Vitan and Suri both went to the Caravan where Alastair had told them to meet him. Vitan walked up to him and showed him the bag of goodies he had collected "Ready!" "I have plans for everything. For missions succeeded and missions failed." said Bheliar with confidence in his voice "And we will get in, I can get myself and others into the most exclusive clubs. They won't see anything past their noses." Bheliar the opened up the palm of his right hand and put it up to his face. A dark orb appeared in his hand. For a moment Bheliar's disguise faded away to reveal a creature with many odd features, very different from the human form he had taken before. Then he just as quickly reshaped his form and looked like someone else entirely. He looked noble with red's and purple's in his clothing. "Come, now. Let us go. We have much to do." Bheliar motion for Mya and Drei to follow him.
Nny was about to answer Claire when suddenly he heard explosions off in the distance. Nny turned to see Janina airships falling down from the sky... Nny didn't seem to have any noticable reactions, but he had immediately began evaluating the situation. It was obvious the Janinan city would soon be destroyed due to the quick air superiority the Eclipscion's had gained. It was only a matter of time before troops began entering the city, then after that... it would only be a matter of time before everyone was cut down. The only thing left to do was to attempt to fend off advancing army in hopes that many of the people might escape. Nny drew his sword and held it to his side. "It has begun..." Nny said. He then turned to the others "What are you all going to do?" The voice in Allen's head responded "Who am I? I am you, Allen. I am your conscience which has laid deep within you for some time now... not saying a word for years. However, I have been wrong in doing so. You have gone so far in the wrong direction that I am here to pull you back to the way you should be."
Nny was shocked by the quick and smart obsevations Claire was making. Not only were they fascinating but they were true. Nny then realized the same things as she pointed them out. However, to Nny, they were no real problem. Just little fly's that enjoyed listening. Nny resisted the urge to kill them all... but he knew it wouldn't matter... the Eclispion's would soon be arriving anyway after Allen's blunder. Overwhelmed by the number of examples Claire was pointing out, Nny decided to stop her. "Okay, I get it. What is your point? I mean, I realize there are many spies in this city, but you are acting like you haven't seen it before." "Allen..." said a voice in Allen's head. The voice didn't sound like Legion's voice, though. It sounded like someone else. Someone Allen had heard before...
"Alright, lady, you are beginning to annoy me. What's with all the strange questions?" asked Nny of Claire, he was getting annoyed at how she could be so oblivious to things that had been around for centuries of civilization. "Of course it is natural for armed bands of soldiers to gather around the city! They are called 'Gaurds' they protect people in the city from outside forces! Did you crawl out from a rock or something?!"
"I told you about the last time I saw him. I haven't seen him since." Said Nny firmly to the girl "Why is he so important to you anyways? Is he a family member or something?"
