Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Jaakuna could feel it, her annoyance with him. It was one of those 'really?'-moments, especially just the way Aloa was looking at Jaakuna. It was suggesting that she thought less of how smart he really was. It even got to the point that Aloa would divert her attention to Emiri and she would tell Emiri to watch out for Chaos as he would not hesitate to do what he did with her memory again or how many other times it took for Emiri to stay out of the danger zone of her powers. Of course, Emiri had a big problem with that and Jaakuna did as well. Emiri pretty much said what Jaakuna was going to say himself, but of course in a different way.

When Emiri and Aloa finished exchanging words(more so Aloa responding to Emiri), the viera leader would go back onto the subject of what she was talking about before and said that she didn't know exactly what Levi did to Emiri or even the effects of it, but she advised both Jaakuna and Emiri to have caution around Levi. Jaakuna definitely agreed with her. At the time that Levi helped and when he agreed, he didn't even stop to think what possible consequences could arise from it. Safe to say that Jaakuna was half-regretting even letting her do whatever she did to Emiri.

Before Jaakuna and Emiri would leave, Jaakuna turned to Aloa. "Oh Aloa, I think you might want to return to Stigma. Something terrible has happened and I just think that you might want to check it out." Jaakuna told her, though she probably already knew about it.

Why was it always they seemed to get on each other's nerves? Savayna didn't know what it was, but Nadeline always pushed her buttons, but this time around, it was more like that of siblings rather than two females hating each other. It was that very reason that made Savayna smirk slightly and she placed a hand on her hip. She just gave Nadeline a look and she said nothing.

As the two ladies seemed to exchanging certain looks, Grant would speak to WEsley about how he thought their Espers wouldn't be as effective as they all hope they would be. Wesley sadly was starting to think the same thing. It was true that against Omega that their Espers seemed several levels above him in the power department, but that was because Omega Weapon XII was a hume-made machine. Against one of the strongest creation of the gods, perhaps their espers were indeed at a lower level. There was also the fact that Ultima was most likely their leader, which also made it even harder for them and the upcoming fight with The High Seraph. "I suppose you're right, Grant." Wesley said agreeing with Grant, but with much reservation about some aspects. "I pray, for our sakes, that Ultima does not prove to be as strong as the legend says."

If Jaakuna's worry scale was at maximum before, then by when Aloa had revealed to which she was unsure of, Jaakuna was shitting bricks. He didn't eve know what to make of it. For Aloa to say that whatever magicks that she sensed inside Emiri — the same thing that Jaakuna was worried about beforehand — was something the viera were not able to recognize meant that whatever was in Emiri was something worse than Jaakuna could even imagine. To make matters worse, Levi was most likely the one who did this, which also meant that everyone would blame Jaakuna for this.

Taking everything into account, Jaakuna did have one question he had to ask. "You said that this kind of magick is one that humes should not possess." Jaakuna said, "well, then who — or what — possesses that kind of magick?" Jaakuna asked Aloa.

The group would follow Nadeline's lead, who seemed extra chipper since the defeat of Omega Weapon. Wesley found it cute, but along with Grant, Savayna found it rather annoying. It wasn't that she didn't think that Nadeline had any right to be so positive, but it was so much so that it was getting on her very last nerve. Savayna really wanted to whack Nadeline over the head, but she had to contain herself. Instead, she would grit her teeth and stay silent.

Along the way, Grant would bring up a topic of conversation about Ultima and how most likely she would be the Esper of Light. That made sense. COnsidering they've encountered espers who all have their own elemental affinity. When Grant would mention the fact that Holy and other such magicks wouldn't have any effects, WEsley found that troubling as that completely reduced the group's own magick and abilities in half when the time came to face Ultima.

When Grant would raise the question about how since Omega Weapon was as strong as he was, would they really be able to rely solely on their own abilities. Wesley found that question troubling as well. "It does seem like we're going to be in a huge pickle." Wesley said as he found himself in deep thought, thumb to lips as he bit his thumb.

Savayna looked over to Wesley and she just sighed. "We have our Espers, right? So, what's the worry? We're going to be fine, as long as Nadeline doesn't screw it up." Savayna said bringing up her earlier annoyance with the princess. So much for keeping quiet, huh?

When Aloa made a comment about how she was surprised that he agreed to let Levi help, JAakuna found the surprise to be also within him. All the things that Levi has done to not only him, but those he loves, Jaakuna knew that if there were any other way for Emiri to get er memories back and in an hastened way, then he wouldn't have let Levi help. And yet, there wasn't, so he had to let her help.

When Jaakuna found himself in a deep thought, he noticed that Aloa was already walking away back to Emiri and the other viera, so JAakuna followed suit, not saying anything. Once they got back to where Emiri was, Emiri was about to say something, but ALoa silenced her and would examine the wreath and then state that the dream powder's effects have been hastened a great deal. She would further state that since the properties of Dream Powder were as complicated as they were delicate, that even the slightest bit of altering them would be grim for the one who had it on them.

Jaakuna saw Aloa poke around Emiri's hand, which caused her to let out a slight sound of discomfort to which Emiri questioned what was wrong and Aloa responded by saying that the magicks used shouldn't be anything any humes know. Jaakuna instantly became alarmed by that. "What do you mean by that, Aloa?" Jaakuna asked as his worry was raising every second.

It was as if Jaakuna could feel Emiri’s confused eyes at him. She no doubt was feeling that kind of way when he mentioned about wanting to speak with Aloa in private. He felt bad that he didn’t tell her, but before he could, he needed to be sure that what Levi did wasn’t harmful to Emiri and that there wasn’t any consequences of what she did for Emiri. So, in wanting that, Jaakuna followed Aloa and she would start to speak about how Emiri looked well for the most part, but she would also make a note that she seemed to be doing better than the viera. At that point, Jaakuna arched an eyebrow, but would stay silent.

When Aloa finished, she would then ask why Jaakuna had returned to Eruyt. Jaakuna sighed as if unsure how to word it. He looked at Aloa and just decided to speak. “The reason I’ve come back is for a confirmation about something.” Jaakuna said. “Just an hour or so ago, Levi came to my airship, The Ifrit, and told both Emiri and I that she could restore Emiri’s memory faster than what it was.” Jaakuna said. “I didn’t know what to make of it at first, but she presented her case and Emiri wanted to at least try, so I let Levi do it. It went well at the end of it. I mean, it didn’t seem that Emiri was poisoned or anything, but I don’t know..” [‘b]Jaakuna bit his thumb as he definitely was unsure of something. [b]“There was this moment of a flash of some kind. I only caught it for a second, but I could instantly feel something very off-putting about it.”

Realizing that he too was taking too long to get to the point, Jaakuna would just say it. “And that’s the reason I’ve come back. Could you perhaps aid us, yet again, and see if you can sense anything off within Emiri?”

As they went through the apparent darkness that hid Eruyt from the outside world, they would soon make their way into the village. It didn’t matter how many times that Jaakuna saw Eruyt. He was always blown away at how such a large village was hidden away from Ivalice. Of course he knew clearly it was the manipulation of mist, but that still didn’t stop him from being totally surprised by it. Even more so how perhaps living in the village was starting to appeal to Jaakuna. Maybe it was that one mention that Aloa made of him living among them. That still resonated with Jaakuna.

As he kept thinking about it, Jaakuna and Emiri kept on walking and it wasn’t until that they saw the viera gathered around as if in a circle of some kind. When Jaakuna and Emiri’s presence became known, the viera dispersed. By this point, it looked like Ryua was in pain and Mtra was trying to help her out. Jaakuna wondered what exactly had happened, but before he could even get the chance to ask, Aloa came into view and Jaakuna heard something about the influence of ‘him’ and The High Seraph. He could only assume that they were talking about Zodiark and Ultima. On to what exactly it was had Jaakuna wondering.

Aloa would soon turn her attention to Jaakuna and Emiri and would further state that fate does not seem to give way to surprises. Jaakuna laughed slightly at that. “Good to see you too, Aloa.” Jaakuna said with a sly chuckle. He then looked to Emiri with a half-smile, then he gave a look to Aloa. “I wish I could say that we’re here for a casual visit.” Jaakuna admitted, “It is urgent that I speak with you in private.” Jaakuna said, looking at Emiri briefly before turning his gaze to Aloa.

At the point the bike was going at a fast speed, Jaakuna couldn’t help but smile and laugh slightly as she would grip him as tight as she could. Perhaps the speed that he had the bike going at was a little too fast for her. It’s not like it wouldn’t matter much as the view of the entrance to Eruyt came to view. On the very second that it did, Jaakuna had stopped the bike, placed it down gently and the both of them got off of it.

As Jaakuna would get off the Aegis War Bike, he heard Emiri ask him exactly why they were at Eruyt and she would further state that she hadn’t been to this part of the Gilmore and she would ask and/or to confirm to Jaakuna. “Yeah, this is where they live.” Jaakuna told her. He then looked at the obvious darkness that the way to Eruyt had. It was always weird seeing that knowing that on the other side was something way different from anything in Gilmore. “We’re here to visit someone. There’s something I need confirmation on.” Jaakuna told Emiri.

It was like everyone was summoning their espers. Wesley and Savayna had done so and it proved to be effective, so of course, Grant would join the party with Zeromus, though it did seem that the Gravity Esper wasn’t all too thrilled to see The Omega Weapon XII. His annoyance was in the form of some rather brutally-honest words about how it was an abomination and that the humes themselves created something far out of their control. The other Espers were slightly annoyed by Zeromus’ annoyance, but once he activated his unique form of powers in the Arcane arts, that would put a small smile on both of them as the pure force of Zeromus’ Gravija spell almost crushed Omega to death.

Wesley looked on and he couldn’t believe that Zeromus had such strength within him. Sure, he knew that the Espers had magick that no hume could even dream of achieving, but he never believed that with just one spell that the Omega Weapon could be drawn to its metaphorical knees. Truly, the espers were great in every sense of the word.

“Then, shall we finish this?” Hashmaal said as he started to crack his knuckles.

“About damn time!” Mateus said as he raised his trident up.

Working as a team, Hashmaal would jump about five feet into the air, and punch the ground with his ring hand, sending a ripple through the ground and in quick succession, the area beneath Omega Weapon exploded with liquid hot magma and it sent the machine beast flying into the air. As it was in suspended air, that’s where Mateus entered the fray as he swam through the air. His Trident would pierce through the beast’s center, sending a Blizzaja-level spell through it’s body, freezing it internally and eventually, externally. About three seconds later, it fell to the ground, cracking into dozens upon dozens of mechanical bits, thus killing the ever-so famous Omega Weapon XII.

Both Wesley and Savayna looked at each other and then to the now dead Omega Weapon. They were literally speechless about what they had just witnessed. Be it the fact that they killed Omega Weapon or how they did it, the both of them stood still in awe. Hashmaal looked back and saw the expression on Savayna and Wesley’s face. He smirked slightly. “Our job is done.” He said, "Call upon me when you need my assistance further, Wesley.” Hashmaal said as he would disappear from their sights.

“Try not to die out here.” Mateus told Savayna as he too disappeared from their sights.

“It is done.” Said Levi.

“Good. Our plan is coming full fruition.” Said a deep, ominous voice.

“Yes, you’re right. It’s as you’ve said from the very beginning.” Levi replied.

“You sound like you doubted me..?” Asked the voice.

Levi laughed slightly. “Oh come on now, there has been plenty of reasons to doubt you, but worry not, with the recent developments, my doubts are non-existent.” Levi informed him.

“That’s good to hear. Our plan relies on the trust in both. I know that I’ve placed my entire trust in you for my plan to work.” The voice told Levi.

“And it’s rightfully placed. The Time Scion has one of your Dark Seeds, and by the time she uses her powers once more, she will be so consumed by your darkness, that she’ll have no choice but to come to you for it to be removed, Master Zodiark.” Levi said.

“This is all true, but the wildcard in this all is Chaos. The fool almost wrecked our entire plan by resetting her memory. If he feels that she is slipping again, there is no guarantee that he won’t do it again.” Zodiark said as if troubled by Chaos and what he might do.

“Don’t worry, Master. If I’m not mistaken, you yourself said that the other espers were not happy with Chaos, so I doubt he will do anything like that again.” Levi said, as if trying to reassure him.

“I hope for both of our sakes that you’re right.” Zodiark said.

This definitely looks interesting. It sort of feels like InFamous to me in some aspects. Nevertheless, I will be keeping my eye on this as I decide on whether or not I want to fully join.

Solace In Night: A Kingdom Hearts RP

Since he left the scene of the burning storehouse of the Empire, Cerden had already made his way to the Hollow Bastion Inn. He had already paid for the room on the highest floor and with a view of the city. Sure, it was pricey, but Cerden could afford it. That was one thing that he gained from being in the field that he chose to pursue in his off-time. It allowed him to gain moderate amounts of munny, in which he uses to his heart’s content. For now, however, he used it to buy himself a room overlooking the city.

As he would enter his room, Cerden would open up the curtains, seeing the view of the city as he had imagined it to be. Based on the way the light was coming up, it was almost dawn. Cerden just smiled as he would turn his attention to the rather large bed against the wooden walls. He would gently placed his bottom on it as he sat on the bed. He then reached into his pocket and pulled out the piece of the Taint Metal. He just stared at it, as if obsessed with the object in his hand. He turned it and studied it. He knew all about it and yet he wasn’t any closer than he was the previous day.

Deciding that he had enough of looking at the piece of Taint Metal, Cerden would stand up from his seated position, and he would make his way once more to the window and he placed the Taint Metal on the desk. He would then gaze into the city, still seeing the burning storehouse off in the distance. Cerden found himself smiling once again about that storehouse. He had to admit it to himself that the Unbound Hearts did good in this night. Perhaps instead of being in the comfort of his room, Cerden should pay them a visit. Or at the very least, observe their movements closely. He knew that Nomis was doing the same exact thing.

Cerden had silently decided to himself that it was the time that he retired. A good few hours of sleep would definitely restore whatever energy he exerted in the night. So, as he did decide to call it a night, Cerden would remove his long coat, setting it on the desk next to the bed. He would then do the same with his pants and his shoes. The only piece of clothing that Cerden had on were a pair of red and brown boxers. He would then walk to the bed, remove the blanket half way, crawl underneath it, and that’s where he would let the dreams take over as he laid his head upon the pillow, and closed his eyes.
