Final Fantasy: The Sacred Stones

Raikou shakes his head. "Not here. My mission is a secret one, and none should hear. Follow me, we will go somewhere more private." He summons Bahamut and flies to the top of Mt. Hobbs, and sends Bahamut away. He did this as an act of truce, that he would not suddenly attack without warning, and that so, should Zomosa not like his tale, they could fight equally, without worry of others lives.

Zomosa would have summoned NEO Bahamut and fly after Raikou not trusting him enough to ride on his Bahamut and after a some what short flight he would reach Mt.Hobbs land near Raikou and also as an act of trust make NEO Bahamut dissapear and as he sat near Raikou he would look at him "Now...tell me this Mission of yours"

Raikou sits on a rock. "My mission huh? Well, it goes like this. I am a servant of the Great Spirit. Also known as the Ordeals Spirit, The Spirit, so on and so forth. I'm not mortal, nor am I human. I am a spirit myself. I'm here to prepare four crystal bearers for a trial that awaits, starting tomorrow. A Lunarian from one of the moons will descend, and rain havoc on the world, seeking revenge for his brothers death. Only the four crystal bearers will need to face him, but as they are now, they stand no chance. So I was sent to test them, and give them strength by any means necessary. The Spirit often leads me, and it often leads to death. I have destroyed one mans home twice, along with his family. I know I will pay dearly for it as well... That is my mission. I have very limited time to get the warriors to awaken their powers, and if I don't Earth could be ravaged and destroyed."

Raikou sighs and stands up. "That is my tale, believe it or not. I will not stop here, and no one will stop me. If you wish to try, then be warned... I will not go easy on you. However, should you wish to live, and truly be a hero, then perhaps you could help me. It has been a lonely, depressing journey, and as a fellow summoner, I feel as though we have something in common. Company would not be turned away."

Zomosa would have sat still silent for a minute after listening to this story to tell the truth it wasnt what he had expected... but still he could sense something in this mans words and he face would look dissapointed "I guess that means Im not destined for a Stone.... well anyways...I guess I kinda beleive you... it was strange though one of those guys you attacked who had the stone is filled with Darkness.....no matter..I sense a truth in your words.. false or notIm not exsactl sure who to side with.....so Im sure you dont mind me traveling with you? I want to see if your words are true... and if they are.. If I can help.." Zomos would stand up and hold his hand out to Raikou "So?"

The sound of the flowing water echoed throughout the otherwise quiet area, as Adelaide approached Toroia castle. Hiding behind one of the bushes as she watched a pair of knights guard the large front doors, she pondered how she was going to gain an entrance.
"Damnit.." she thought to herself. "If I kept those injuries I could have easily gained entrance.."
She lightly nudged her head against the trunk of the tree, as an idea grew in her brain like a wild flower, a strange technique that seemed to work. A grin quickly grew, as she released a blink spell onto herself, fading from sight to the naked eye. She then gathered a Levitation spell inside of her physical body, allowing flight.
Hovering into the air, the adrenaline rushed through her body, a natural reaction for a wingless species.
"Addie you beautiful genius.. I almost feel bad that this is possible.." she thought to herself as she transparently hovered over the moat, and soon after the stone walls.

Adelaide safely landed in an unattended area, as the low level blink spell faded slowly, her physical appearance becoming visible once again. She made her way to a locked door, kneeling down and peeking in the keyhole.
Seeing inventories and treasures, excitement ran through her senses before being interrupted by a heavy staff resting on her shoulder.
"Halt separatist, you dare use our holy magic for your sacrilegious raid? May the lord curse you for tainting our sacred skills." An old crotchety man praised and cursed at her, gradually releasing an intense Slow spell onto her body.
She could feel her body and mind getting heavier, cursing herself for not throwing a Libra spell as she entered the premises.
She calmly rose to her feet, letting the old man take custody of her rights, eventually alerting the guards to escort her to the jail, cursing Adelaide with a Mute spell as she sits in her cold damp cell.

Raikou stands and shakes his hand, dropping a crystal to him. "This is Chris' crystal. He's about to fight Syton I believe. When Chris learns to trust his friends, and earn trust back, give him the crystal. Other than that, lead them to Gilgamesh. Syton has a duel with him that needs to be done. I'm counting on you, alright? You don't need to be with them always, but check in. they trust you more than me."

Chris Orinday walked further into the Cave and looked around for Syton. He had some business to do with him. Apparently the King of Baron heard that he killed some Mysidians. Why would he kill them? Last remember he was peaceful with him. Did he get dark? Chris walked along the path fighting the monsters to train up to fight him. He used a tent at the save point to heal up. He went into the next part of the cave and saw him siting on a rock. "YOU! How dare you kill my fellow companions, the Mysidians. And don't lie because i heard from the King of Baron!" He charged a quick Fire 3 spell and sent it at him along with Ice 3 and Bolt 3. "You will pay for the damage you have done!"

would put the Crytal in his pack after taking in and nod "Well.... Im not sure who Chris is... and i dont know where this Gilgamesh is...can you tell me these things before I head off?... or would you rather me stay around alittle longer?.....and just so you know heh... you trust is well placed! I will make sure this Crystal is given to him at the right time"

Syton got up, fed up with sitting and walked out of the cave.

Tch, I'm over by Toria, maybe I can find someone there, just need something to do, hell I'd even steal something.

Syton walked over to Toria castle and bowed to the guards. They looked at him and realized he must be a knight of Baron so they gave him passage. The castle was bigger then he expected. People of all sorts walked around at the bazzar in the central area. Syton walked around until he stumbled across a door, having no business being there. He walked in to see a girl sitting there locked up, and looking sad and cold.

The things I'll do to help someone out, I don't even know her yet, I don't see it right she be kept here, I mean what's the worse a she could've done?

"Hey you, girl, the hell you doin in here? You don't belong back there." Syton said to her

He stepped back and blasted darkness at the cage holding her in, causing quite a racket he knew there would be guards swarming them in no time. He grabbed the white mage and charged through the walls of the jail room and then of the castle falling right into the moat that surronded the Castle.

"Heh, what a wonderful escape wouldn't you say?" Asked Syton spitting water out of his mouth.

"I'm Syton of Baron, and you are?" He asked her

Ducky wrote:

Adelaide, still being cursed by the Mute spell, couldn't help but watch as the man fucked her plan sideways, attempting to grab his attention via flailing. "No you fool! stop!" she vented in her thoughts.

"I'm Syton of Baron, and you are?" He asked her

Adelaide couldn't help but glare at the man as she floated in the water next to him, turning away, and unable to speak, she made her way out of the water, wringing her hair onto the already damp grass.
She reached down, and grabbed ahold of some grass, attempting to gesture a request for Echo Grass.
She was hoping his rash hot-headed behavior wouldn't continue to curse her much longer.

Issac tosses a bone away, gets up, and walks towards Zyne. ''Well, he's gone, and the Deathbringer doesn't want me. Soo.... our spar isn't done, and I could care less about that shrine now. Fighting's my life, if ya don't want, then there are plenty of monsters around I can kill.'' He stops a few feet away from Zyne. ''A friendly spar, or I leave.''

Raikou points a ways off. "Over that way, to the west, is a forest town of Toroia. Gilgamesh is on a boat to the south of that. Chris is a little mage, believe it or not. I know I didn't. Now, there also a white mage wandering around. Do not be decieved by her looks... her heart seems black, but this last crystal seems to resonate with her. Once all the other tests are set, I want you to travel with her. Every so often, preferably the night, come to me and report what you see. If you do not find her fit to the crystal, we may have to kill her. After that, the crystal will choose another. However, if we do decide that she is fit, then we will need to test her as well... if whitening her heart is not trial enough."

would nod "got it.....also where is she right now?.... and I almost forgot Where should I look for you when I leave at night? Should I just use Neo Bahamut to sense her crystal in your hands?" he would start chanting a spell that was longer than the others but he would chant it silently to let Raikou talk

Raikou shrugs. "Where she is, I couldn't say. No one by Zyne has a crystal now, so following those would not work. You will have to search yourself. As for a nightly meeting place... What say you to you Eblan? I have not yet been there, they know not of my sins. I should be safe there. I hope. I wish you luck, I wish you safety. Should you come across Zyne, tell him to go to Bab-il. That is where he is needed next. I will depart now." He tries to summon Bahamut, but it sparks out. He was out of MP. "Oh, damnit... No quick routes for me." He summons a chocobo and rides down, occasionally being bucked off, often hitting the bird for its arrogance and disobediance. "Stupid bird! Why can't you be black?!" He bucked off and pecked at, and chased down the mountain by his own summon.

Zomosa would laugh as Raikou road off into the distance and Zomosa would finish his spell and he would say to finish up "NEO Bahamut Summon Transformation!" and suddenly Zomosa would be engulfed in a giant ice like flame it would be quite bright and after a monment A man like figure could be seen standing where the middle of the flame used to be he would be covered in a Red Armour that looked almost flame like but Frozen and he would have wings like NEO Bahamuts on the back of his armour but a size for a human to use he would have Red Gauntlets that had sharpened Nails, a helment that covered his head and would look like NEO Bahamuts face, and last his Katana would have taken the shape of a large Sword thats was also red also with a Flame like texture it was obviously something for multible slashes at once.

would stand still for a few secounds and then.... he would let out a breath of air "Man I havent done that in a long time...well mostly 3 months.. it hurts like Hades to use and takes up alot of Mana but its fast and strong and I have all Neo Bahamuts abilites!....Why am I talking to myself? anyways.." he would start to float in the air looking around and he would start jetting off at a VERY high speed but he would be holding Chris's Crystal "say maybe I could track him some how...this form would be useful for this.... and I cna only use it for a few hours anyways...then again thats kinda long...WHY AM I TALKING TO MYSELF...Im so lonely huh?" and he would start to close his eyes as he was flyinf around holding onto the stone which he had taken out and suddenly he felt a....Feeling? that told him what Direction to go and he would be flying off to Tortia ((Um right place?)) at a break neck speed he would reach Chris is a short amount of time maybe 30 minutes or less

Zyne's eyes were still aglow as everything started going crazy around him. Anger began seeping from his body and caused parts of the cave to randomly burst into flames. He looked at Isaac and saw there was no longer that glimmer of light, and shook his head. "No. There is nothing more I have to say to you at this time, Dark One." Zyne began chanting and wind and darkness surrounded him and he vanished yet again.

Outside the Royal Cave near Toroia, Zyne stands on a mountain thinking back to all that has happened recently. I feel exhausted but I cannot rest anymore. The darkness sweeps further around this world and I must do what I can to stop it. But where is it's source? Wait, what is that red blur in the distance. Can it be him again? I must find out....for the time of waiting is over. Zyne draws the Zatsuke and spins the blade in a circle, slowly at first then speeding up until a tornado appears around him, allowing him flight. He moves to intercept the red blur, hovering in it's path.

"If that is you, you dark armor clad bastard...I shall teach you a lesson, one that you are not likely to understand." Zyne sheaths his sword and waits, letting go his anger, letting go his sorrow. Becoming calm and collected was the only way for him to survive this encounter. As the red blur comes closer to him, bright light begins to radiate from around Zyne. "Spirit of Water, grand me the serenity that I need. Along with the wisdom to know what to do when the time arises." Zyne finishes offering his prayer and immediately feels calmness flow through him, his mind a peace.

''Well, ain't he a mood crasher.'' The devils' skin begins to flow back to how it originally was, Issac looks at himself. ''Guess I was about to lose it.'' Issac starts to walk toward the exit of the cave, not knowing where he'll go after.

Chris Orinday walked out of Royal cave confused. He thought he saw Syton, but it must of been a mirage of some sort. He looked up to see he was near Toroia again. He saw a NEO Bahamut flying around like it was about to land. 'Well, looks like someone is here too." He hid in the forest hoping not to be seen and used an item that casted blink on him, just in case. "I'll spy on him, see why he is here."

Zomosa would be flying still getting closer to his target and he would start to ponder somethings... was the Summoner telling the truth? Were those people meant to save the world? If so it did make him kind of jealous.... but no matter he thought and he would turn to a forest sensing Chris and he would Jet down to the forest and before he would land he would seemly Freeze a few feet above the ground and turn so he feet faced the ground and and after that he would drop to the ground and he would start to look around the area for any signs of the young mage "ELLO ANYONE THERE? Im looking for a Chris?....I hope hes not some creepy kid who lives in the forest.." and he would keep looking around

Chris Orinday came out of the forest with Blink still on and said,"Why do you need him? I'm Chris. Need anything special?" He stared at the guy. He didn't look evil but Chris kept his guard up.

((Short only because i can't think of anything with His post >.<))

would wave his hands and chant a few words and he NEO Bahamut Armour qwould slowly dissapear "Well for reasons I cannot tell you I want to Travel with you...also you sure your Chris? Are you a mage?" he couldnt no longer Sense Chris but talked to the thin air just pretending he did Maybe I shouldnt have been so blunt with it...

Chris pulled out his bag of tricks and used an item that removed Blink so that the guy could see him. "Yes I am Chris, and i definitely am a mage. Who are you and why do you want to travel with me?" Chris pointed a finger at the tall stranger and was about to send a spell at him for any nonsense that was heading towards him or danger.

Zomosa was looking around and as soon as Chris sopke he would turn to him and listen and after thinking for a few secounds he would responde to him " I am Zomosa! I am a Summoner from Mist! and as for why I want to travel with you....cant say"

Chris Looked at Zomosa and said,"Well Zomosa I guess you can travel with me but i will keep my suspicions up. Would you happen to know anything about Crystals? I'm trying to find mine for as someone stole mine. He has a helmet on and he is very powerful." Chris showed about what size he was and said the word "guess" as if he was snarling. Chris wasn't the type to argue but when it came to suspicions such as these he would argue. "I'm also looking for a guy named Syton who killed some of my fellow Mysidians for I am a young apprentice from Mysidia." Chris asked.

would walk up to Chris and strech out his hand to him "Nice to meet you then Chris..Hmm I dont know where they are but I might as well help you...ALSO Im looking for a white mage... I hear shes evil. but I dont know much else and he would start to wave his hands and summon NEO Bahamut close to them "Meet Neo Bahamut just tell him where you want to go he can find it well.... not people.. and as for this crsytal of yours Im sure Neo Bahamut here could be ble to find it Im not sure and he would run up on the back of NEO Bahamut and look down at Chris as he pulled out a book to read "Climb on board just tell Neo here which way you wanna go"
