[center][h3][color=92278f]Queen Sectonia[/color][/h3] Level 5 Sectonia (holding 1 level up) - (34/50) +1 Lakeside Word Count: Under 750 [/center] Sectonia, having taken one of the mercs out, and hopefully for a long, long time, moved to cover the others who were making their way to the now lowered Vah Naboris, its lighting striking and taking out a few other mercenaries although far more temporary than Sectonia's method due to their respawning abilities. Heavy called out to Sectonia, giving her his thanks for defending his flank. She didn't recognize the honorific he used, but considering his accent she figured it was something in his native tongue. Sectonia gave him a smug smile. It was around this time a shot rang out from a sniper, hitting Tora and damaging him. Sectonia thought they had no snipers, so this was a surprise to her as well and she turned towards him. However, giving up his position he got barraged by attacks from Heavy and Poppi, knocking him out cold or even killing him. [color=92278f]"Hmph, serves him right."[/color] Sectonia said, laughing at the sniper as she flew, giving the others cover when she could. Even with her cover though, Heavy got injured by a few stray shots. Wounded, he ran behind a wall as the others made their way onto the lowered Vah Naboris. Sectonia, sighing, flew down to help the others that were using heavy for cover. As she flew down low, she saw Heavy munching loudly on a sandwich. This confused Sectonia, but before she could yell at him to get going, he finished and his wounds healed nearly instantly which confused Sectonia even more. She then shrugged, saying. [color=92278f]"So you have something like a Maximum Tomato as well it seems."[/color] As Heavy and the others got close to Vah Naboris, Sectonia looked over the battlefield to make sure no one else was missing and noticed Tora and Poppi making their way back as well. Sighing again, she made her way over to them to hurry them along, grabbing Tora if necessary so they could get out. ================================================================================== [center][h3][color=0072bc]Blazermate[/color][/h3] Level 8 Blazermate - (27/80) +1 Dead Zone Words: 601 [/center] While Blazremate kept people from destabalizing from San's attacks, her cleansing ability doing more 'healing' than her outright healing them, her commrades who were still up focused on Marie like she commanded. While she was zooming over to make sure Linkle wasn't going to disintigrate, Dante, Ms. Fortune and Bowser joined up their attacks on the shadow Marie and the soul heart, destroying Marie in the process and cleansing the root they had come here to deal with. With the power of Marie no longer keeping the area together, the battleground they had fought on collapsed, although it only collapsed a few feet leading to the floor of the mimic library. [color=0072bc]"Ok, thats done. Lets get out of here before..."[/color] Blazermate said, healing Dante of the damage that Sans had left. It was around this time Blazermate noticed that Sans was gone, but not only that, but the Soul heart was calling out to her and the other girls of the group. It promised them any wish, although before any of them could reply, Ms. Fortune explained what Marie's wish was, and what she had become. It was then the heart said "Marie's wish wasn't pure. A pure hearted wish will cause no corruption." Blazermate thought this over. [color=0072bc][i]"OK. A wish to protect your friends was IMPURE? Thats what I do every day! Darn, having a wish would be sooo cool. Maybe a spirit could..."[/i][/color] Blazermate thought over the hearts offer, however before she could decide bowser spoke up, speaking frankly without yelling to the entire group. Bowesr only did that when he was dead serious, and he had a very serious look on his face when he said it. Bowser said that he knew how the 'evil team up' went, and didn't trust this heart at all at its word, before getting angry and attacking it yelling after not finding Marie's spirit. That was a good point, where was Marie's spirit? This fact made blazermate think even more, and while she was very tempted by the skull heart, the fact that Marie had no spirit gave Blazermate some enlightenment about the situation. [color=0072bc]"Wait... Bowser. There was no Marie! The Skull Heart there ate her or something!"[/color] Blazermate was very, very unfamiliar with magic, so that was the best she could think of. And that was something she didn't want to happen to her. She'd rather have a spirit than a cursed object, at least she knew that even 'bad' spirits like her suffering arm shield were actually very nice when they became a spirit, and this wasn't a spirit. [color=0072bc]"So uh, while you guys figure out what to do with that thing, I'll be making a teleporter. We need to get out of here before this place gets nuked. Worse comes to worse, we can leave that heart here to be nuked."[/color] Saying this, Blazermate summoned the Engineer and told him to remake the teleporter network and his dispenser so he could upgrade the teleporter faster. He proiritized these things, but he also made a sentry gun out of habit. Blazermate, having turned around to look away from the haert saw a strong person up on the hill descanting towards them. He looked a bit... too pretty. Like he came out of an anime and he dressed as such with one heck of along sword on his side. He didn't seem to be hostile, but seeing him Blazermate said [color=0072bc]"Hey guys, we got someone coming. Hes anime pretty, and doesn't look hostile. A friend of yours Dante?"[/color] she asked, pointing out the approaching Sephiroth.
