Final Fantasy: Incarcerated RP

[Always 309]

Mariah stopped about halfway to James and hesitated, then jumped back almost to where she had started so that she wouldn't easily be attacked by him in her moment of distraction. Tifa?

 

“He's right,” Tifa said, referring to the man who had just given the order to Mariah. “We need Chuck, or else this fight is over. Use those cables to your left.”

 

Mariah looked to where Tifa had indicated and saw several cords used for the cameras and other broadcasting equipment piled on the floor. She found one that looked long enough, assuming Chuck had fallen several stories before catching himself with his weapon, and tied one end to a supporting column, then ran towards the now shattered window with the other end of the cable. Gritting her teeth, she thought, That guy had better be able to hold James off.

[Azure Flame 670]

Chuck swung from the handle of the gunblade and stood on the top of it, balancing himself and looking up to judge the distance to the window.

 

James glared at Scardigne and said "How dare you call me a monstrosity, you misguided Judge! You don't even realize what side you're really fighting for!" He slashed at him, sending a few energy blades at him.

[Not-with-a-whimper 144]

Scardigne parried them with a few energy blades of his own and then leaped into the air to pull a heavy dual wielding overhead chop. As he was doing all of this Judge Gabranth spoke through him, scoffed, and replied, "What side? Ha! The law is unbiased and never wavering. All of you are breaking the laws of this world simply by existing, and it is my divine duty to uphold the law by erasing all of you, before myself falling back from whence I came."

Joy was still stuck in his own little world, holding the Buster Sword in his hand. It just felt natural. He shook his head, and looked around. Shit. He thought. I'm stuck in Alaska, with no way to get back to fight Sephiroth. He could almost hear Cloud facepalm. That's what airports are for, Cloud grumbled in his mind. Yeah, that's great, Cloud, but I don't have very much money. Cloud sighed. You have enough liar, you just don't want your pride to be hurt. Man, now that I think about it, you ARE a lot like me. Joy's face went red. I am not! Cloud laughed, a weird sound. See? You're trying to be the cool guy, by not admitting it. Joy's face turned even more red. Let's just get out of here. And he headed to the airport.

(Dang, how am I going to get back in time? Any suggestions?)

[Azure Flame 670]

"So you believe." James said. "But this world's laws are different from your own. By erasing us, you are violating the laws of this world! So I will be the divine one and erase you before I become this world's new God!" Laughing like the madman he'd become, James flew at Scardigne and thew a Firaga ball at him before flying around behind him and slashing.

[Always 309]

“Heads up, Chuck!” Mariah called before throwing the cable down to him. She saw him standing on his gunblade some distance below. “You got it?” she asked, getting ready to pull him up.

 

(@Number XV: Haha maybe Joy could call Marcus and ask him to get one of those super fast jets to pick him up?)

[Azure Flame 670]

"Yeah, thanks!" Chuck said, grabbing the cable. He grabbed the gunblade and put it on his back as he started to climb.

[Damion Strife 130]

Marcus trudged through the penguins, he passed about fifty when he heard Vincent yelling in his mind," THERE SHE IS!!" He looked to his left, luckily the head was pretty close to where August was. So he shouted," Hey! Jenova is three feet infront of you! She's under that penguin's feet!" Marcus then started walking over to it, but as soon as he was within ten feet of it the penguins became ferral. They began to rush him, they were pecking and biting his legs, and he knew he couldn't very well kill all the penguins. So he went into ghost cloak form and flew away from Jenova causing all the penguins to rush after him. Leaving August alone with five penguins and Jenova.

[Not-with-a-whimper 144]

(Dang, how am I going to get back in time? Any suggestions?)

 

(Easy. Invent a character to take the place of Cid from FFVII and have him take you in his impossibly fast airship. That's what I'd do, anyway.)

 

Scardigne began to struggle with an internal conflict over the whole "law" issue until he was confronted with a massive fireball coming at him. He managed to block it, but was struck in the back with the Masumune (sorry if I misspelled that). "No," he thought, pushing through the pain, "they are just casualties of war!" Scardigne began to draw in energy from all around him and unleashed it in a burst of concussive force with himself as the origin point. (I'm basing his and Vaan's movesets off of Dissidia because in ffxii everyone was pretty undefined.)

[Number XV 490]

(Or I'll stop entering fights with Sephiroth. Someone else can fail to him. Yeah, I'll wait this out.)

[Always 309]

Mariah began assisting Chuck’s ascent, which wouldn’t have been easy if she didn’t have Tifa to help, as Chuck was one-and-a-half times her weight. As she pulled, Mariah looked over her shoulder at James and the mysterious guy who was apparently on nobody’s side. The battle was pretty intense over there, and James looked furious. Her attention went back to Chuck. Almost there, she thought.

[Not-with-a-whimper 144]

Facing the remaining penguins, August used Inferno to spontaneously burst into flames, scaring the penguins, who had never seen fire before, away. Just as he was about to get Jenova's head he heard a mysterious voice call out "I wouldn't do that if I were you. You see, I seek the destruction of all things, and the person you're getting that for is playing his role in my plan very well at this point." August looked around desperately for the voices origin as he grabbed the head and cautiously began stepping back towards the plane.

 

(OOC: Damion and I discussed this before-hand.)

[Number XV 490]

(I'm just gonna cheat )

Joy sat in his seat on the plane, which was about to take off. He was pissed at Cloud, not because Cloud did anything wrong, but becasue he was right. About everything. The plane took off, and everything was going smoothly. Then, the plane shook, and he slid as the plane started going towards the ground. Joy's mind was buzzing. No, No, No! He looked out the window, scared as to what he was going to find. And he did find it. He saw Livia's smirking face flying outside the window. He jumped to the other side of the plane as it tipped over. He looked around for anything he could use, and he saw a parachute. Just as he was about to get it, a woman stepped on his foot, and grabbed it. He tripped, and fell over, out the plane.

All he saw was sky. A cloudless sky. So he must have been in America. He looked down, and his eyes widened as he saw his city. Wow, what were the odds. He felt himslef falling faster, and he could hear Livia's laugh echoing across the city. He looked down, and saw the TV station coming closer. And then he smashed through the roof. He saw a glimpse of James, and some strange man, and then Livia was upon him like Wolfs on meat. He felt a sharp pain, and everything went hazy.

[Damion Strife 130]

A man dressed in black stepped out from the shadows. He tossed a wounded, but still concious Marcus at his feet. "Lose this? Well, not like it matters you're both going to die very soon. The name is Scarsdale, Cain Scarsdale, assassin for hire, and well I have many gifts. For instance, I pre-order the game Final Fantasy XIII-2, and what happens? I immediatly get Caius Ballad's voice in my head telling me that we are going to destroy this world, and ya know what? I like it. Giving that over to the one known as James would be pretty unfortunate for my plans, and so...I'll kill you both. Right here," Cain said with a slight smile.

 

Marcus looked up at August and mouthed,"We should run as fast as we can. Like now." He then stood straight up, ignored the pain from his penguin wounds, and fired his gun at Cain. He knew it was futile, but he just wanted to put Cain on the defensive which might by them a little time...

Victoria and Paul had left town days ago and have now come to the hospital of Bluebay in Dickinson, North Dakota. Paul's sister was in the middle of her operation. Victoria and Paul stayed at the hospital all night to make sure she would be okay. Paul and Victoria were waiting in two chairs outside the room. The doctor finally came out and delievered the news. "The operation was a success, but she is still going to die in 30 minutes." the doctor said. Paul ran to her with his guitar. "Aria." Paul mangaged to say. "Its okay, I know I am dieing. Paul we need to talk"............moments later................. "Paul, would you do me one last favor? Will you please sing with me." Aria asked him. "Sure, sis." Paul said and tuned his guitar. They then sang:

. Victoria came into the room when they finished. "Victoria, I would like you to do me a favor as well. Please take good care of Paul." Aria said. "I will." Victoria said. "You make the best couple. I am glad to have been able to see you both one last time." Aria said. She then went out. Paul cried so hard and Victoria put her hand on his back. They left the hospital 2 hours later. Paul and Victoria were sleeping in their tour bus. Paul layed down still crying. Victoria sat across from him. "Victoria, I will so miss her. She was the last of my family." Paul told her. "No, no she is not. I will miss her too, but she is not the last of your family. I am still here. We have grown so much together that we can call each other family." Victoria told him. "Thanks for being there for me." Paul told Victoria.

August imperceptivly nodded his head in agreement and rushed towards the plane as fast as he could go, his speed increasing with every step he took. He heard gunshots behind him, but didn't dare turn around, single-mindedly running to the goal.

[Damion Strife 130]

Instinctively Marcus let Vincent take over. Vincent immediatly ran backwards shooting his gun with pinpoint accuracy at Cain, but none made their mark...

 

"Damn...this is gonna be tough!"Vincent said. Cain was slowly walking forward, laughing as each bullet was blocked effortlessly, but then they got over the ridge and he saw the plane. "Let them board the plane. I have a suprise for them, and let me take over for a while won't you?" Caius asked politely. Cain nodded and stood back.

[Always 309]

Mariah flinched at the crashing sound behind her. She looked back to see the source of the noise. “Joy!” she exclaimed in amazement and happiness. Her happiness turned to worry almost immediately when she processed the fact that he must've fallen from quite a height, and could very well be injured now. She nearly forgot about Chuck for a split second, then snapped back into reality right as the cable was about to slip from her hands. “Ah!” Idiot, she rebuked herself. Chuck first, then Joy. “Come on,” she said as she continued to hoist him up, now pulling harder than ever.

[Not-with-a-whimper 144]

Scardigne ignored the newcomer for now, instead choosing to focus on James who was currently the biggest threat. He was glad to have back up in this fight, but knew that soon the uneasy truce would end and that the new guy, "Joy", the girl had called him, would just be another target to cleanse the world of.

[Azure Flame 670]

Chuck pulled himself up and into the window saying "Thanks Mariah, I owe you one." Meanwhile, James noticed Joy's entrance as he avoided Scardigne's attack. "Nice of you to drop in, Joy." James said, dashing toward him for a strike while shooting Firaga balls at Scardigne. He didn't notice Mariah helping Chuck back up.

[Always 309]

“Yeah, no problem,” Mariah said breathlessly. As soon as she knew that Chuck was safe, she turned her attention back to Joy, and saw that James was coming at him quickly. Not a chance! she thought, running at James from the side to punch him.

[Not-with-a-whimper 144]

Scardigne launched himself into the air to avoid the large bursts of fire which were doing heavy structural damage to the building, making Scardigne wonder how much longer the building would hold out until it began to collapse. With a few slashes, Scardigne sent blades of energy at James, not caring if he happened to hit Joy in the process.

[Always 309]

(Woot, Jared's been accepted! Sorry for the really long post that's about to come. I just wanted to back track a little, because I didn't think it would be a good idea for Jared to find out he was Inhabited in mid-air. )

 

 

Jared waited somewhat anxiously as the governor’s son, Marcus, and his friend, August, set out to retrieve Jenova. Yeah, Jenova, from the game Final Fantasy VII. Marcus had to be losing it. He wondered if the governor knew the reason his son requested the jet in the first place. Probably not. Not like Jared’s own opinion mattered, anyway—his job was just to do whatever the politicians and other government people told him to do, no questions asked, no matter how crazy or stupid or useless it sounded. And what was the meteor Marcus had yelled at his dad about? Just another thing made up in his mind? But if it wasn’t…how close was it by now?

 

“Don’t freak out,” a voice said in his head. Of course, Jared jerked in his seat, giving exactly the reaction the voice told him not to have. He looked at the co-pilot, who appeared surprised and amused. “I, uh, had just dozed off a bit,” he said lamely.

 

“You need some coffee, man? Can’t have you dozing off while you’re flying this thing,” the co-pilot said.

 

“No, trust me, I’m good now.”

 

The co-pilot shrugged. “Well, I’m going to take a step outside with the rest of the team, see if I can’t catch a glimpse of a penguin or something.”

 

Jared nodded. “Sounds like fun,” he said with zero enthusiasm. As soon as the co-pilot was gone, he rested his forehead in his hand and massaged it. “Please tell me I’m not crazy,” he mumbled.

 

“You’re not crazy.” The voice again.

 

Great, he thought. Now my career’s over!

 

“Take it easy! Give me a chance to explain. My name is Sazh Katzroy.”

 

Sazh. Jared had heard that name before…in Final Fantasy XIII. Well, what a coincidence. He was beginning to have Final Fantasy delusions like Marcus. Must be some airborne disease. “Are you serious? Like from the game?” he asked aloud.

 

“That’s me,” Sazh replied. “As for that Marcus kid and his friend, I’m pretty sure they’ve got people from Final Fantasy in them as well. They’re not crazy, either.”

 

“Man, this whole thing is crazy! Everybody’s getting schizophrenic around here and requesting government jet planes to play out these fantasies like little kids!”

 

“Jared, the thing is, it’s not fantasy. This is real, and you need to accept it soon, or else lots of people are going to die. Several people have been Inhabited by ‘characters’ from the Final Fantasy series and a war has been started through them. I’m a bit late in Inhabiting someone, but I felt needed, so here I am now.”

 

“Okaaaayyy, I guess I’ll play along for now,” Jared said. “But why did you choose to Inhabit me? Surely you could’ve chosen someone with a lot less to lose.”

 

He could almost feel Sazh grin. “You’re a great pilot, for one. Not very often I get to fly anymore. I’m excited to see what this baby can do. Unfortunately, since I have no idea how it works, I’m going to have to sit back and observe while you fly it for the first few minutes. Your technology is way behind what I'm used to.”

 

“For the first few minutes? You mean after that you’re going to control me?” That idea wasn’t very exciting.

 

“I mean I’m going to teach you how flying is really done.”

 

Jared snickered in spite of himself. Like this guy could actually show him something he’d never seen before. “Bring it on, old man.”

 

The next moment, he heard gunshots outside. “That doesn’t sound good,” Sazh said. “Better fire up the engines--I’m betting we’ll want to get out of here the minute everyone’s on board.”

[Number XV 490]

Joy felt the blades slice him in the back on their way to Spehiroth, and everything went more hazy. he stood up, and pulled the Buster sowrd out. Not caring about James, or anything else, he focused on Livia, who had a grin plastered all over her face. Joy growled. "Look at you, thinking your so cool." Livia shook her head. "I could say the same to you, Cloud. Joy felt a spark go through him at the name. He yelled, and charged towards Livia. Just as his blade almost reached her, she slowed time, and the next thing he knew, Joy was flying towards the window, and out the building. He saw Mariah, and then a flash of another guy.
