Friends Through Thick and Thin, That's What We'll Be. (Four to Six Person Group.)

Ya know, this sounds like fun. Consider me interested. :D

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

On the instant that Wesley would inform his friends about how the weakness to the beast would be Holy, Nadeline jumped on that cue. She would go in hard and fast.to the beast, blade glowing an ethereal white, and stabbed it multiple time. The Ahriman would shriek out in agony and pain at the point of each stab. With each stab going into it, the shrieks got louder and louder. It got to be at the point where the beast itself was oozing out black blood. It had limbs missing from its body, and cause of the amount of damage that it had taken from the combined efforts of both Wesley and Nadeline, it was now on the ground, clinging to whatever life that it still had left. Though, now, it would be dead from the huge explosion that the rest of Nadeline's attack would dish out. Wesley foresaw the explosion and had made preperations to jump back so he didn't flung back from the force of the blast.

After NAdeline had purely dominated the beast, Jaakuna looked on as the smoke would clear. There was nothing left, only a burnt circle. One could just assume that little circle is all that there is left of the Ahriman. Jaakuna couldn't believe it. He stood there in disbelief right next to Emiri and Grant. 'Wowza! Nadeline and Wesley sure are the purest couple out there. I'm sure their kids would be brilliant in every sense of the word." Jaakuna said that on purpose, knowing full well Grant was right there. He would even nudge to Grant with is shoulder. "Wouldn't ya agree?" Jaakuna said with an 'eh? eh?' face.

Poised and ready, Jaakuna would dart off, as would everyone else. Divide and conquer was the strategy they all would go for. Jaakuna couldn't focus on everyone else, so he would focus his attention on one of the Ahriman ghouls. As he took on the one he chose to focus on, Jaakuna took his Gungnir, hoisting it above his head, and he leaped up into the air. His spear at the moment was beginning to become surrounded in Fire Magick. In a matter of seconds, they entire spearhead would be engulfed in Fire Magick, being that of the strength of Firaga. Jaakuna, with a simple downward slash, he would attack the beast, but only to find out that it too was a fake, just like what Grant had said. "Damn!" Jaakuna cursed as he landed on the ground, angry as fuck.

While Jaakuna was wonder which was the real one, Wesley would take on his. He looked to it, not moving. The Ahriman he was facing also wouldn't attack; at least not yet. Wesley had to plan this out. If this was also a fake, where would the real one be. Alternatively, if this was the real one, then how could he damage it. All of these things Wesley was considering. His body wasn't even moving. Well, at least not the lower parts. His upper body was looking around. Calculating. Wesley had to plan this out. After spending a minute thinking and planning, he made his move.

Wesley took his Yagyu Darkblade. Concentrating into the blade would be traces of white. Wesley would focus on just the traces of white. His mind at a place where it was clear, pure, much like the white magick gathering around his Yagyu Darkblade.Wesley would close his eyes. In another sixty seconds, the blade was pulsing. The blackness of the blade pulsing and coming to slowly invert itself, Wesley would then open his eyes. As soon as he did, each millisecond that it would take for them to open, the blade would slowly(not really, but it feels like that in the moment) turn completely white. Wesley would then take his move. Rushing forward, his body went ultra fast. He would swing the blade upward, then slash several more times in horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and just repeat, repeat, repeat. As Wesley did that, the beast in front of him would almost match every one of those slashes with it's long arms. The important thing to come out of this was that the beast in front of Wesley taking in his attacks was the real one.

"This is the real one." Wesley said as he informed his friends and Grant. The screams from the beast hinted something to Wesley His sword was engulfed in Holaga, so that must only mean one thing. "Holy! It's weakness is Holy." Wesley would say once more.

After everyone would get the weapon of their choosing, the group would proceed to go deeper into the Cave Palace, hoping to finding the exit as soon as they could. It would be tough, however, as they would have to trust which turns to take and hope those turns would take them to the correct path. When they would get to a certain one, Wesley would stop. They came to a clearing and Wesley had a bad feeling about this. It was like something ominous was in the air. A few seconds later, the group would soon see the beast that is the embodiment of the ominous feeling that Wesley had gotten beforehand.

As the beast would reveal itself, Wesley drew his Yagyu Darkblade. "Ready yourself my friends! The Ahriman fast approaches us." Wesley states as the Ahriman would appear before them, moving in such creepy ways that truly live up to the legend.Jaakuna took out his Gungnir and joins Wesley and Grant, though he shot Grant a glare. It was not a very nice one. He then brought his attention back to the Ahriman. "Let's do this shit!" Jaakuna said, holding his Gungnir in a diagonal position.

While Wesley and Grant were at the front of the group, acting as the guards of sorts, back behind them both of them no doubt would hear Nadeline recite what she remembers about the Sochen Cave Palace. Jaakuna listened and from what she was saying, the cave palace was built back long ago when the Galtean Alliance was still around. Jaakuna remembers very little about that alliance, but Wesley remembers reading about that like it was yesterday. It also helps that his ancestor was alive during the time of the Galtean era, too. When JAakuna would hear more of what Nadeline said, she would speak about how there's supposedly a very nasty assortment of creatures lurking about. That confirmed what Wesley was thinking earlier about the Hell Wyrm. Jaakuna, on the other hand, didn't even know this place was still around back then.

When Nadeline would finish, Grant would speak briefly about how he would much prefer not to encounter the monster foes, but human enemies was what he made a mention of preferring. Wesley thought about what he said and wondered if that had to do with anything of that woman Levi he briefly mentioned back in the Archadian Dungeons. WEsley would shrug it off as they kept on moving along. Wesley spotted something up ahead. It was shining and gleaming in the sunlight that came through the cracks from the celing. "What's that?" Wesley said. He would move closer to it and it would seem there are about four copses with each a weapon of sorts. "There seems to be an Iga Blade, an Artemis Bow, a Morning Star, and a Gungnir.' Wesley said as he looked to Emiri, Jaakuna, and Nadeline. "I guess take your pick." He said shrugging.

Jaakuna looked among the four weapons. He admired them each and as he would do that, he soon found himself attracted to the Gungnir. He would pick that up. He felt how heavy it was. "Hmm, light for a spear." Jaakuna mused aloud. He gripped it in one hand. "Light with one hand, but not doable." He mused again. He would take it in two hands and stab, slash, and just do any basic fighting movements. "This will do nicely." Jaakuna said nodding in approval. "Okay babe, you're next." Wait, did Jaakuna just say that aloud? Boy was he going to get it good later.

Oh she was not happy, not in the slightest; Jaakuna knew that much. He pretty much dropped the subject and she would make her displeasure in that known, but not in loud bursts. It was just the way her voice was when she told him the conversation was not over. That sent chills down Jaakuna's spine. However, he was not mad or anything of the sort. He wanted to tell her, but at the moment, it wasn't the time or place to do so. Regardless, the group would go into the entrance.

Entering the Sochen Cave Palace, everybody just looked around no doubt having their own opinions about it. While Jaakuna shrugged about it, Wesley looked around and couldn't help but get a weird feeling about it. He remembers reading about it and how there is said to be a Wyrm of great power and strength that it was given the name of Hell Wyrm. Though part of him wants to get to see this beast, Wesley knows the smart thing would to be evade that very beast. Though, there's still the aspect of the other monsters crawling through the Cave Palace. As Wesley would place his under his chin and think about it, he would hear Grant, Nadeline, and Emiri just converse about who would get which weapons, also who would hang back and let the others protect the ones hanging back. WEsley would enter this.

"Well, seeing how Grant and myself are the only ones with real weapons, we will head the way. At least until we stumble upon more weapons for the rest of you." Wesley said thinking. He does remember that there's a rare batch of weapons somewhere within the Cave Palace. "In any case, shall we be off? Freedom awaits us." He said as he, along with Grant, would head the pack to freedom.

Just as he thought. Jaakuna knew by Emiri's surprisingly neutral demeanor that Wesley must have not dropped the bomb about the promise that Jaakuna had to make to his grandfather for Hamut to even agree to this all. Even though that Jaakuna is happy that Wesley didn't say anything, now he had to be the one to say it and for some reason he felt a bit stressed having to say it. Jaakuna wasn't sure if Emiri would react in a way that would be positive. Even thinking about that, Jaakuna laughed about it as he could just imagine how she'll react.

When Emiri would ask him whether or not if she was missing anything, Jaakuna, inside of his mind, felt like a ton of bricks were pounding up top of him. His face got instantly red and embarrassment would be the main feeling he had. He didn't want to say it right now. He wanted to wait until they were in the clear, he wanted to wait until they were alone. Or at the very least, he just wanted to wait until he could find the words to say to her that wouldn't make him look bad, but how was he going to do that? Jaakuna was racking it up in his brain, but he just couldn't think of what possible sequence of words that would make it seem good.

Wesley actually happy to hear that Grant finally understood what he had promised to do. Though, Wesley would find it just slightly comical that Grant took so long to catch on. That's something he had in common with his niece. Of course, Wesley wouldn't admit that aloud, but he would just chuckle at it. Looking at Nadeline and Grant, he could tell their relationship, though rocky from his experiences, seemed to be very tight-nit. Wesley would just smile at that. He knew what it was like to be close to one's family, and he's glad that Grant had turned his ways around. Nadeline needs someone from her family to be with her along with all of this shit going down.

Just as Jaakuna was about to tell Emiri, it would seem the gods provided them with the perfect distraction as they would come to the entrance/exit of the Sochen Cave Palace as they came to stairs. "Well, we're here." Jaakuna said as he stopped, waiting for the other three to catch up.

The night was going according to plan. Vincent was just minutes away from getting Emiri to heal that one person that he brought her to Archadia to do so. He would depart from his office and head just down a few turns to go retrieve her and as he turned to the corner of her room, he would see something that lit his face up with such anger. He couldn't even believe what had happened. Bodies of the Archadian Soldiers and Magi were laid out. Some of them with limbs cut off, armor completely burned off, and some of them just a bloody mess. Vincent would rush over to the room and he saw that the door had been kicked down, but from the inside, this just made him yell out in disbelief.

"My plans...my prisioner....ALL GONE!!!!" Vincent screamed out.

Vincent, in a rush, hurried to his office, and instantly, he would go press the button on his desk. "EMIRI HAS ESCAPED! THE PRISONERS HAVE ESCAPED! FIND THEM AND KILL THEM ALL! YOU HEAR ME!?!?" Vincent yelled out.

On the opposite end of that bitch fit was someone who could be considered their worst enemy. On the other end of that bitch fit was someone who would gladly kill anyone and especially those that would interfere with her plans. "Yes sir." Levi, The Third Judge Magister, said. Levi knew where they would go. She knew this, because she would go the same way if she were them. "To the Sochen Cave Palace it is then." Levi said departing from her home.

I'm sure Gnar is still just recoporating from that illness he said he was suffering from. Though, I do think perhaps it's time for an actual OOC thread. xD

They certainly did look at him like he was the personification of stupidity, but once Jaakuna explained to them, the entire group would, for the most part, lose their 'are you fucking stupid or what?' looks. Once that had happened, the only choice was to get a move on so that they wouldn't get caught and all of it to be for nothing. As they would do as such, Jaakuna was just thinking about the whole day and he just realized he was without a weapon. Hell, even Emiri and NAdeline are without Weapons. It would seem the only ones with weapons were Wesley and Grant. Not that JAakuna wouldn't mind all that much relying on them for protection, Jaakuna would much like to have a weapon for him and his two favorite ladies. "Oh well, we'll come to them when that time comes." Jaakuna said as he mused aloud.

The total time of five or ten minutes would elapse and the group would eventually make their way into Old Archades. Jaakuna couldn't help but find some humor in how long it had been since Jaakuna stepped foot into Old Archades. It definitely had been a while, and that was the real reason Jaakuna would just laugh at the sight of Old Archades. As he would do that, he wouldn't even sense Emiri coming up to catch up with him as she locked in her fingers with his. She would say that she had to apologize. Jaakuna disagreed, but as she said that, she could feel her grip of his left hand tighten. She would say that Wesley informed her of what happened with Vincent. Did he not mention all of it? Jaakuna didn't know how much of what Wesley had told her, but it matter not.

"It's not your fault. I did this all voluntarily." Jaakuna said as he kept on walking and turned his gaze to the sky for a moment and then looked to Emiri. "I'd do it all again in a heartbeat. I'd do anything for you." He said as he would slightly tighten s of his grip to Emiri's hand. Jaakuna would, however, speak more. "How much did Wesley tell you?" Jaakuna asked, as his voice was definitely having bits of nervousness in it.

Meanwhile, Wesley, Nadeline, and Grant hung back.Though, the topic of conversation would not be a fun one; at least not for Wesley. Grant seemed to be curious as to what exactly was going on between Nadeline and Wesley. A slightly worried look would come across his face, but Wesley wouldn't let it show that much. However, his red face would soon be apparent when NAdeline would hug around his arm and simply state that he owes her dinner. Did she have to say it like that? Though it was indeed true, Wesley didn't like being in this position, but who was he to turn down this now? Obviously he wouldn't be himself if he did.

When Grant would bring up the kiss that Wesley gave to Nadeline earlier on, red cheeks blossomed like a Rogue Tomato. Wesley didn't know what to even say, but when Nadeline would make a slight joking remark about how Grant approved of him, Wesley's instant thought was When did we get to a place for him to even consider approving me? Wesley didn't even know what to say. He really was dumbfounded. However, he somehow got the nerves to speak out some kind of coherent words. Wesley looked to Grant, and he spoke. "Grant, you have my word that no harm will come to your niece. I care for her deeply for her." Wesley said, turning his gaze to Nadeline and smiling at her.
