FINAL FANTASY

[DrPhil2501]

"If you mean apart from stressing over killing these damn Deth Fighters? <bang>, oh yeah! I'm quite fine, thank you!" Randon responded in his earpiece. He forgot he still had it on.

 

"You could help us out here by getting into a Turret and blasting these damn things into oblivion! (Now where are my manners)... please? Aaarh!"

 

A Deth Fighter swooped down at Randon's turret, and barely missed by inches. Randon retaliated by firing his turret... which had missed.

[Ctrl Alt Del]

"Whatcha you going to do now?" Rim asked vaguely. "Help them?"

 

Souvi surely looked distracted while staring at the viewscreen, though he was pretty attentive to his surroundings and his friend.

 

He murmured. "Help... It's a beatiful vessel that one they got there but I'm not sure they could deal with those stinking Deth."

 

Rim nodded and proceeded to change their course, though he looked a sad. Souvi winked. "Besides, I think Rueben is going to die if he don't take one of his ethers, he's addicted to that, you know..."

[Meowster]

The White Mage, looked up at Angel, and smiled. "N-no...I can get up," and put pressure on both of his legs, and back, and got up slowly. "Well, I wouldn't want to go to bed during this..." Wait! You mean I have been complaining all of this time!? During a fight!, but at this thought, he remembed in the fatigued state he was in, it would not be helpful to anyone. Plus...he absolutely had horrible aim. Training for being on the crew, shooting out of a turret was the one thing he was horrible at.

 

Errol stood up straight, letting out a simple yawn. "The thing is...I'm no good at aiming, and well, I don't believe I would be any help with the turrets. I guess I'll rest for a few minutes, and I'll be willing to help for anything." He smiled, and sluggishly walked toward his cabin, even then, concentrating on rebuilding his energy.

 

Now is not the time...

[Darth Kalverys]

((OOC: I am NOT a drug addict!))

 

Rueben looked at what was happening, then at the crashed shuttle on the ship, then back out to the battlefield.

 

This is torture... Rueben said to himself. I really want to know what's in there... these can't be Deth can they? If so then why did every one fear them? I thought that they were supposed to be near invincible... but here we are shooting them down with turrents and me with magic... hmmmm...

 

BOOM! A shuttle exploded... Rueben quickly looked out to the battlefield... uh-oh... here comes Souvi and Rim... Rueben turned to one of the last shuttles then cleared his mind and released a frenzy of Fira on it...

[SkywalkerRules]

Angel nodded her head, as she watched Errol walk slowly towards his cabin. "All right, then. Be careful, Errol."

 

After that, she ran into one of the turrents, and began to get ready for battle. Angel was excellent at shooting... but needed to focus on the moving Deth fighters.

 

As her aim computer focused on one of the fast moving Deth fighters, she caught good aim at it, and pressed the button. The Deth fighter blew into tiny pieces.

 

"Yes! Randon! I shot one down!" Angel shouted joyfully through her earpiece.

[DrPhil2501]

"Great job, kid!" Randon responded pleasingly. "but don't get cocky..."

 

Cid monitored the current status of the ship... not looking good.

 

"Everybody in turrets, dammit keep those Deth off of my ass! Our Shield is down by 24% <boom>... sorry, make that 18%"

 

Cid drove the ship upwards at full speed, but the fighters were so damn quick they caught up with Solidus' boat.

 

Cid monitored another vessel oon the radar, not of Deth design however. It was those strangers the others have met at the citadel station.

 

"Rim, this is Gliding Angel. Do you carry any weapons? If so, we require assistance over here!"

[Ctrl Alt Del]

"Souvi... I'm getting a transmission from the Gliding Angel..." Rim reported "They're asking for help and if we have any effective weaponry."

 

"Tell them we'll help..." Souvi answered, on his seat "But about the weapons... It would be the best choice to ram into them." That was half-true. On first sight, the Wingless Eagle seemed like a private civilian ship, one that a young noble would choose. In fact, aside from the main battery, there was no signal of weapons at all. Souvi's intentions were exactly those, as he deeply disliked to draw attention to his ship. However, that didn't mean he didn't had hidden surprises.

 

"Okay, let's distract those fighters. Shoot some random blasts on one of the fighters current route. That'll give time for the Angel to fire back at them." Souvi told Rim.

[SkywalkerRules]

As Angel kept shooting some Deth fighters, she noticed the other ship coming in with them.

 

"Hey! There's that other ship again!" She squinted her eyes, wondering what they were planning to do.

 

Angel had a thought in her head. "Are they planning to help us? If so, now's the good time."

 

She brought her focus back on the Deths again. Her revenge started to get the best of her. Angel blew some more Deth fighters, but with anger in her heart.

[Ctrl Alt Del]

The Eagle beagan shooting constant volleys of shots. The Deth that was being targeted, along with some others, proceeded to engage them.

 

Fantastic! I may very well just have killed ourselves for those guys there... *sigh* Must remember Rueben is there.Souvi was thinking while watching the new small red lights on the radar.

 

"Souvi, they're on our tail. Fire back?" Rim asked, dutifully.

 

"If you think you can take them all." Souvi answered, steady "I think it's throwing ammo away. The Deth moves too fast."

 

Rim grinned. "I wasn't thinking on the battery..." Souvi eyes widened. He understood Rim riddled suggestion and grabbed the comm.

[Empress Padme]

Suki watched Angl, fueled with revenge, take out some Deth fighters. Suki's jaw dropped. " It's always the shy, sweet , innocent girls that suprise you."

 

Suki started helping Angel blow some Deths away( not that she actually needed the help). As she fired away, she looked at Angel. " The Deths hurt you deeply I take it."

[DrPhil2501]

((ookay, thats got to more than enough of the Deth fighters taken out... meh. Battle's over, folks!))

 

Randon witnessed the last Deth fighter being destroyed, despite the fact that they had obviously sent out a smaller group of reinforcements (which were taken out by the crew...)

 

"Show's over, guys!" Randon spoke through his earpiece. "We did it!"

 

"Thank goodness! A few more hits and we would be sitting ducks!" said Cid.

 

Randon unstrapped himself from the Turret and walked upon the deck to meet and congratulate the others.

[steven]

"Now will someone explain to me what the hell just happened," Solidus ordered as he jumped out from the turret and headed straight for Rueben. " What the hell did you do to attract the god damn Deth to attack my ship!" He demanded to know, as he fought off the urge to pick Rueben up by the collar and slamming him into a wall before begining an interrogation.

[Darth Kalverys]

((Uhhh... How could you throw Rueben into the wall? He's on the exterior of the ship))

 

Rueben ignored the idiot question... wasn't it obvious... the Deth were searching for the same thing... to destroy the weapon, and they thought that he had the map fragment. He looked back at the damaged ship and thought about going over to it, but then turned his back to it and looked up...

 

"Uhhh... guys... we've got bigger problems." Rueben said, frantically. "Uhhh... the big momma ship is coming."

[SkywalkerRules]

Angel turned to Suki after the last Deth fighter was blown. Then, tears streamed down her face.

 

"Yes. They're the ones who killed my parents." After saying that, she got up, and placed a gentle hand on Suki's shoulder. Then, she proceeded out the turrent.

 

Once she got on the exterior of the ship with Rueben and everyone, she looked up. It was the Mother Ship of the Deth.

 

Angel's eyes were filled with rage. "Are you kidding me?!" She pulled out her sword. "Let's kill the rest of those monsters NOW!!"

[Ctrl Alt Del]

((OOC: Ethers aren't drugs... methinks.))

 

As Rim disposed of the last of the fighters, an alarm beeped, echoing on the whole room.

 

"Uh... We've got something, Souvi." Rim reported "Something pretty big" Souvi stepped closer to the control panel and had to hold a curse.

 

"What the hell?" He exclamed "Something of that size can only be--"

 

"A Deth Mother Ship." Rim completed for him, his face looking serious. Souvi scratched his head and picked the comm he was holding.

 

"No arguing this time. We'll leave for good. And I'll warn the fools to do the same." He dialed the previous used frequency. "Angel? We're on our route to the mountains as planned ASAP. Follow us with haste!"

[steven]

"You've gotta be kidding me," Solidus said looking out at the mothership. His hand reached for the radio in his ear before he ordered Cid to "Get us the hell out of here! A ship that size can't catch the Angel if we put all power towards the hastaga generators. I mean all power, that includes weapons, shields and central heating. The sooner we loose this thing the better... On second thoughts keep the shields on, just in case."

[Darth Kalverys]

((Sorry... I get carried away with one character, and I forget my other one, so I'll make it a little more understandable as to why he wasn't around during the battle...))

 

Rueben pulled a radio out from the inside of his robes and contacted Souvi.

 

"Uhhh... Souvi... you remember when I said the Deth were going to be coming after us... well..." Rueben started. "Take a look for your- HEY! YOU BETTER NOT BE LEAVING WITHOUT ME!"

 

Rueben's left hand was on his hip, and his face was distorted with anger. His right hand still held the radio to his lips.

 

"Souvi, I swear if you leave me here with these... people... then I'll kill you personally... I'll kill you the next time I see you." Rueben muttered, into the radio.

 

Wonderbread, was now standing right next to Rueben, after being knocked unconsious after the shuttle crashed into the ship, and shaking the ship and him flying over and knocking his head against the wall.

[DrPhil2501]

"Excuse me? What do you mean us People?" Randon was greatly insulted. "Why I oughta..." he clenched his fist and punched it in the air.

 

Randon knew better then to give into his anger and resisted the urge to punch Shan in the face and throw him off aboard the ship.

 

_________________________________________

 

"Understood!" Cid responded.

 

Cid diverted all power from the weapons and shields to the engine, which greatly boosted the Angel's[/] speed. He indeed saw on the radar the mothership, which was a long distance away from the ship.

 

The view of the mountains was getting closer.

 

_________________________________________

 

The rubble of the fallen Deth fighter made a sound. Randon withdrew his gun, and kerpt towards the black, crispen debris.

 

"Stay there..." he cautioned everyone.

 

The cockpit was full of smoke, making it difficult to make out any survivors.

 

There was a strange cackle coming from within the Fighter.

 

((Don't kill him yet. I intend on introducing the description of a Deth))

[Ctrl Alt Del]

Souvi raised an eyebrow. "How are we, erm? Same psychotic as always?" He told Rueben on the comm "Don't worry, Rueben, you're going with us, just follow."

 

Rim face turned serious while he analysed the data on his panels. Souvi noticed that and asked what was the matter. "Huh? Ah, nothing I hope..." He answered, absorted on his thoughts "It's just that I'm picking some readings on the Angel's outer hull..."

 

Souvi too turned serious, Rim wasn't one to talk lightly. "What kind of readings?"

 

"The unusual one." He answered "Especifically, this looks like--"

[Meowster]

Crash! BOOM!

 

Distant echo's of the ongoing battle were holding vibrations everyone on the ship, and Errol's cabin was no exception. It had perhaps been...twenty minutes since he decided to rest? The White Mage raised his left hand slighty. No fatigue or anything. Then, he swung his leg up out of his bed. 'Well, I guess I'm alright now...but...is the battle over? I don't see, or hear, anything.' Errol grabbed for his cloak, and swung it around his shoulders, and put his staff, crossbow, and a few potions stacked in his belt.

 

It was indeed quiet now. All you could hear, mainly, was the low rum of the Magick-fueled engines. As Errol crept outside of his cabin, he did notice something from the outside of the window.

 

'A mothership!? No...a Deth mothership!' Errol knew, from the first second he examined the ship, things were going to get complicated.

[SkywalkerRules]

Angel looked at herself, and began to calm down. The anger was getting the best of her, and she didn't want that to happen. If it did... who knows what would've happened.

 

She stood by Rueben's side. "If we all help each other... then we could get out of this mess. Randon looks like he knows what he's doing... the Captian and the others do too. So if we stick together... everything might go well."

 

Angel glanced at Errol. "Glad you could join the fun." She chuckled.

[Meowster]

Errol smiled softly at Angel, and nodded. "Whats our status...other than the huge Mothership coming at us?" He yawned quietly; apparently it had just struck him that he woke up, with but a few seconds before.

 

Looking out at the Gigantic Deth Mothership, showed the true comparison of the two ships. The Gliding Angel was nothing but a tick compared to the Giant Planet that was the Deth Ship.

 

"I'm willing to help in any way."

[Ctrl Alt Del]

"Can't that ship of theirs come faster?" Souvi asked Rim, actually, it looked like he was thinking out loud, noticing the rethorical nature of the question.

 

"According to the analysis of their ship..." Rim answered "they have turned off almost all thenon-vital system on the airship... In other words, they can't." The interior of the Eagle's bridge turned dark, as the magnificent and terrible Deth mothership closed at them, shadowing the valley in which they were now.

 

"Well, whatever they intend on doing, it's better that they do it as fast as they can." Souvi said, resolute "Help is out of question. We can't even scratch the mothership's hull." Sad truth. Outrun a slow ship like that may be easy, but lose them is something else. We really need to be safe before we can land. Perhaps we may find somewhere to hide on the Mountains...

[DrPhil2501]

Randon drew closer to the black rubble, gun in hand always ready for action.

 

As glass of the cockpit seemed to move... it ejected open. Smoke immediatly rushed out to become one with the air. As the smoke cleared, an evil, humannoid figure was shown.

 

It jumped out of its Fighter, and landed on the deck with its feet. The Deth Warrior stood three meters tall and averagly muscular. Its skin was marine blue, but its armour was the colour of jet black.

 

The black armour covered its chest, and seemed to mold over its muscle stucture. Rows of long spike ran across its back, as it was connected to the armour. Occupying its right arm was the weapon Deth typically carried; some sort of Gauntlet with a gun nozzle at the tip. The other arm was a cybernetic prosthetic, which held three extendable blades, making it look like the Deth had claws.

 

It had a helmet, covering most of its face, apart from the snarling mouth full of sharp teeth. A wide visor was protecting its eyes, but it wasn't hard to tell the emotion given off by the monster.

 

This was not the first time Randon had seen a Deth Warrior. Afterall, how could he ever forget the faces of the very race who destroyed his home?

 

The Deth Warrior made a war cry, and extended his claws. He lashed out at Randon, who was fast enough to grab his sword and parry the melee attack. The Deth lunged and slashed in the direction where Randon was. It managed to slice its sharp weapon across Randon's arm.

 

He could feel the warm blood rushing out of his wound, as Randon held it. He breathed and hissed at the pain. He aimed his pistol and fired... although that didn't do much good. The Deth was protected by somekind of energy shield surrounding it. That could explain why these warriors were known to be somewhat invincible.

 

But like most shields, it had to have a limit. Its power had to decrease by a small percentage after taking a bullet!

[Darth Kalverys]

"Souvi... I swear I'm gonna kill you... you could have at LEAST come back to get me... then taken off." Rueben muttered, under his breath and to Wonderbread.

 

The prince laughed softly and then looked out at the mothership.

 

"OH LORD HAVE MERCY!" Wonderbread yelled. "That things gaining on us!"

 

"Oh... look... Randon found a plaything." Rueben laughed.

 

Rueben's sword was already in his hand, and Wonderbread's was soon in his.

 

"Need any help?" Rueben asked.
