"I don't know, and that might've been how he did it!" 'He,' being Lugia or whatever. If I were to blurt that out again, someone would either dismiss me as crazy or- well, nevermind. Just crazy, thankfully. No one else knows the truth, and they're not paranoid or anything. "Actually: I don't know and I don't care!" That was more like it, as I yelled out loud while slamming another damn mage into the wall with sheer strength, denting the plaster. I held onto the withered robe and began hammering the pipe behind the mage with my sword. He tried to struggle, but I had already gagged him, and I sealed his fate by forcing him into a sharp path of steam. Behind me, we weren't going to die against these low-level scrubs - it was like a zombie left. Neither seemed like panicking, what with the zombie stumbling backwards and the mage still swinging wildly.

[i]Oh, I gotta stop thinking.[/i] Anyway, I was looking at the battle at the moment... Robert wasn't in a good shape, Celes had fought bravely and Chance proved he had better swordsmanship. The remaining two, unconscious... bird and dragon were still on the floor, somehow avoiding the mayhem of our battle. I would've helped Robert, but they could handle themselves, and the gas was something I'd rather avoid. I ran over to the pair, sounding like a pounding fish and kneeling over the blue phoenix. "You two, are you alright? Hello?" I said, trying to wake both of them up. Nope, they weren't responsive for a bit. I really needed the name of the blue bird, 'cause I needed to know whether this world was linear or simultaneous with arcs.
