Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

Aloa knelt down next to Nadeline, gently lifting her up. The girl was still reeling slight,y though managed to pretend the kick didn't hurt. The two looked at one another, and Nadeline picked up her rapier. "Do not be hasty in your decisions, Your Highness." Aloa gently reprimanded her, though shecast a Cure spell over her.

Nadeline shook her head, holding her arm guiltily. She hardly lost her temper as she did before, and felt somewhat ashamed at both her injury and her temperament. She looked to Vlyn and Jaakuna, then at the frozen Emiri. "Aloa...I..." She started, only to receive a pat on the head.

"Worry not. We'll defeat the Sky Pirate and be on our way. Please, remain here." Aloa urged her, then prepared to reenter the fight.

Nadeline watched, exasperated. Now that her head was clearer, she hated the entire situation. Why was she fighting, really? Because Emelia refused to come home? Or because things were happening out of her control? Wait a moment...the weapon Vlyn and Aloa were after...it's Emelia? Nadeline realized. Then the weapon Reia wants is her? That cannot be! Is that why she ran away?

Emiri fought desperately against the ice, to no avail. It was as if she was frozen solid! Her cheek was also burning at this point--what in the world did that Viera have on her heels? She couldn't even speak, and she felt cold to the bone. Shoot, she was going for Jaakuna, wasn't she? Just as that thought crossed her mind, however, she felt a warmth. It was still difficult, but she was able to start moving again. Was that him? It didn't matter, but now she certainly wasn't going to stop. The more she struggled, the more feeling she had, so she continued.

Meanwhile, Vlyn wasn't too prepared for Jaakuna's attack. The magicks behind the wave were much stronger then he had anticipated, and the Viera was sent flying backwards. He could feel his skin burning somewhat, and as he got to his feet, he admitted that the Sky Pirate was stronger then he initially thought. But the fight would be over soon, now that his trump card had arrived. Aloa charged at the pair, firing Blizzaga after Blizzaga at Jaakuna. She then lunged at him with a kick.

Roman smiled at the approaching general, amused at her statement. He certainly was a fool, but at the moment, he needed her to get her thoughts straight. "Come now, Savayna, he isn't all that bad--he did choose you for a wife, once upon a time." He replied without missing a beat, though he did lose some joviality as he continued, "Tell me, my dear, what is it that you truly want? Not only is this situation simply unforgivable, it is very much unlike you. You are a wise woman, pray tell what has possessed you to take such drastic measures?"

Vlyn smirked slightly; he had struck a nerve, it seemed. Still, while the blade was direct, his resolve was not, and Vlyn was larger, longer, stronger, and faster. His claw clashed with the blade, and her managed to grab it. "Really, Sky Pirate, I thought you were a little smarter than that." He said, raising an eyebrow. "Tell me, what changed your mind? Did you like what you saw? Did her power intrigue you?"

Meanwhile the two girls were going at it. Nadeline sure was a lot faster than Emiri remembered; each jab came like cactuar needles, precise and numerous. Still, she was predictable, and her anger made her sloppy. At one of Nadeline's thrusts, Emiri sidestepped it with ease. She brought up her own sword, parrying the attack and sending Nadeline back. As her rapier wasn't as strong as Emiri's Longsword, she staggered back: and that left her open. Instead of striking with her blade, however, she merely kicked her in the stomach, sending her backwards reeling.

Emiri approached Nadeline, shaking her head. "What, is that all?" She couldn't help but laugh a little--all talk and no bite, huh?

Nadeline glared at her, though something else caught her attention. Emiri turned around in time to see a Blizzaga cast. Emiri barely dodged it, frost forming on her cheek as it whizzed past, exploding into several icicles behind her. She brought up her sword as a Viera clad in silver clothing approached them, another Blizzaga at her fingertips.

"That is all for her; now, I am your opponent." Aloa spoke. "Stay put, Your Highness, we will handle this." And with that she broke into a run.

The brunette charged at the Viera. Aloa released the Blizzaga, though Emiri leapt back. As it erupted, Aloa kicked through it, lunging at Emiri. Her heel collided with her sword; the Viera had a lot more power in her leg then Emiri did in both arms. She was pushed back slightly, and as she spotted Aloa preparing another spell, she pushed off, backing away. Aloa seized the moment and swung her leg. It was another close call, mirroring the Blizzaga as Aloa's heel pierced through the frost on her cheek.

She has zero charge time for her spells, it seems. Emiri grimly noted as another spell laced around Aloa's fingers, rubbing her cheek on her shoulder. She thought it was another Blizzaga and prepared to jump back. As it sang through the air, however, she noticed it was missing its cool (literally). She jumped back, but the spell followed, forming above her, and the Water spell drenched her. This is what I get for not studying black magic.

The torrent was strong, and Emiri felt like she was drowning despite not being underwater. She stepped out, only to barely bring up her sword in time for Aloa's sweeping kick. Her sword was slippery in her hand, and she had to grip it with both hands lest it slip away. The Viera smirked, raising one leg, and Emiri noticed something was dripping from it. Before she could make sense of it, however, Aloa leapt into the air, and she fired off multiple Blizzard spells. Emiri swatted them away, but couldn't help but wonder why she didn't keep using Blizzaga. She went to step forward, and realized that Aloa wasn't aiming for her; she was still drenched from the Water spell, and her feet were quite literally frozen to the ground. She could feel her clothes sticking to her, her movements becoming rigid, and soon Emiri was little more than a popsicle.

Aloa landed on the ground, flipping her hair. "You stay put while I save Vlyn." She spoke, walking past Emiri.

"No signs of activity, sir." One soldier saluted Roman.

He sighed, scratching his head. They were at a stalemate, so to speak. As much as he agreed that Jaakuna had his choice, he sort of wished he had stayed to speak to Savayna. Not that he wasn't a negotiator, but the woman was, in his opinion, absolutely mad. He couldn't read her at all, if she had just waited until morning, she could've gotten her way, perhaps. Was she so desperate to get the ship back? Or was it something else?

With a heavy sigh, Roman walked to the entrance of the Aerodome. "Send word that I am here, if they don't know already. I wish to discuss the terms of her surrender." He said rather cheerfully.

"...Sir, don't you mean the terms of negotiation?"

"Nope. Go on now, don't be shy."

The soldier was quite confused, but followed the Marquis' orders. Another soldier approached him, one that was not involved with what was going on. "My Lord! A fight seems to have broken out in the streets between a man and a woman and another woman and a male Viera."

"Ignore it."

"...Uh, sir, are you sure?"

"Indeed I am. This is slightly more important. Don't worry, the worst that will happen is them killing one another, civilians won't get involved, I assure you." Roman reassured the soldier. Savayna, whatever it is that you're thinking, you're stepping on dangerous territory...

"Thank you all so much for coming!"

The crowd had practically exploded at that sentence alone. The movie premiere was crowded with celebrities and other famous stars. The leading lady, Yuka Minako stood at a podium, just before they would enter to see the movie. She flashed one of her well-practiced smiles as the many cameras flashed in her direction. It was truly a spectacle to behold.

"Minako-ojousama?"

Yuka opened her eyes, scratching her cheek as she let out a grumble of acknowledgement. The grand premiere of her movie was just a few hours ago, at the moment she was riding in her limousine, on her way back to a new penthouse she was renting. She let out a rather loud yawn as she stretched her arms out, though once she finished she resumed leaning her head against the window. She was glad for the tinted windows; had anyone been able to see her, she'd have been swamped by fans. But she wanted to take it easy for a while before starting anything. She had released a movie, two albums, a photo shoot from some fashion magazine, and a commercial for some sort for a new brand of flavored water (or was it soda? She didn't remember) and quite frankly, she needed a break. She could work on her new songs in peace.

She sat up, shuffling underneath her clothes. She was usually always cold, having been sensitive to the weather as a child. Nowawdays, however, it was quite the opposite. She had half a mind to undress right then and there, she felt so uncomfortable. And yet, for one reason or another, she blamed the entire process on the badge in her jean skirt pocket. That was when it had started, after all, and while she wasn't so dimwitted to accept things from strangers (which, considering her status, proved to be a dangerous thing) he had quite literally dumped it on her and left.

She then sat up, a hand holding her shirt away from her heated chest. "What is it, Hiroshi?" She asked, peeking outside the window. Had they arrived?

"There's been a roadblock. Shall we take a detour?"

Rolling her eyes, Yuka sat back in her seat, chin perched on her palm. "Yes. I want to get there as soon as possible."

"Of course, Ojousama."

As the limo turned and rode down another street, she examined the many shops. It was quite quaint, really, and peaceful looking. So long as she kept her head down and avoided attention, she should be able to wander the streets. A puff of smoke caught her attention. What was that? She leaned closer to the window, squinting, and let out a gasp as she spotted someone in armor swinging away. What in the world was going on? She rolled down the window, poking her head outside to get a better look and ignored her chauffeur's questions. There was some kind of creature, along with a handful of people fighting it, or something. Was this some sort of new part of the police agency?

"Stop here." Yuka ordered, getting back inside and rolling the window up. "Stay here, I'll be back in just a moment."

"Certainly, but where are you going?"

To see what in the world is happening over there. Yuka thought, grasping her badge. She made sure to roll up the window to the driver's seat, giving her some privacy. "Psi-Temperature, Activate." She ordered, opening the car door. As she walked, a ribbon like light wrapped around her body, transforming her previous clothing into an outfit akin to something you'd see in a video game, her hair going from her usual blonde to a bright, cherry pink. She wasn't going to jump in just yet, choosing to hide out of sight for the moment. If needed, she'd help, but she wasn't about to go into something that could probably be handled--and she had no idea who these people were, anyway.

I like Kuja more then Kefka, though. >.>

Ack, I thought I had subscribed to this and was wondering why nothing was happening! Dx Will be jumping in.

Oh my god he actually shook her hand.

Well, of course he was going to shake her hand, that's why Aurelia offered it, right? No, it was courtesy, or at least she THOUGHT it was. She hated meeting new people and avoided the general populace like a plague. Too late now, of course, and he quickly released her hand almost as soon as they touched. Felix then reminded her of the ceremony. That's right, she had completely forgotten about it. "R-Right! Of course. Of course." Will you stop repeating yourself? She grimaced slightly. She was really, really pathetic. Was the entire year going to be like this? Then again, it was somewhat relieving to know someone else was just like she was.

Felix made the offer for her to go first. At this she nodded, and then quite unexpectedly, practically ran ahead. Not that she was expecting to hang out or whatever. No way. She had humiliated herself enough for one day--perhaps for the entire semester. Her walk was rigid and rather brisk, rather mechanical, and she forced herself not to look back. Yeah, just keep going, for all you know you'll probably never see one another again ever. If we're lucky.

Emiri nodded at Jaakuna's request. It wasn't that she didn't doubt it; last she remembered, Nadeline had yet to participate in an actual battle and had little desire for bloodshed. Still, she vaguely remembered the male viera--Vlyn, though last time she saw him he had a partner. A female viera, yes, but where was she?

Nadeline's cheeks turned pink, clearly unamused. How dare he?! Truly the Sky Pirates were nothing less then barbarians--this Jaakuna figure had clearly thrown away his title willingly! Now she was angry. Brandishing her rapier once more and bearing the anger of the gods themselves, Nadeline did a very uncharacteristic thing and charged at Jaakuna. Emiri pushed Jaakuna aside and parried Nadeline's blade, the two women clearly prepared for the other's blade. Strangely enough, she knew Nadeline didn't stand a chance against him; at the very least she'd spare her this.

"Once again we find ourselves at opposite ends, do we?" Emiri muttered, pushing her sword against Nadeline's rapier. "It seems you and I will never see eye to eye."

"Fitting enough, frolicking about with a Sky Pirate. Just you wait, from him too you will be running away, just like the coward you are." Nadeline replied, pushing her blade back. "Keep on running, Emelia, eventually you will find yourself in a corner, and then what? You'll have nowhere else to turn to."

I heard you loud and clear. I was just hoping it wouldn't come to this. Vlyn resumed scratching his head, though one of his ears twitched slightly. Man oh man, he should have known that things were much too easy. It wasn't like he wasn't prepared for a fight; the blonde fuming in front of him was a problem. Little lady never did take kindly to insults and nicknames, he dryly recalled. Despite his reluctance, Vlyn didn't see much of a choice, seeing as his young mistress decided to act rather brashly. "Really, Your Highness...You need to control your temper." Vlyn murmured, his hand spreading as his claws extended.

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

To say that the entire group was stunned to silence was a complete understatement. His words, while insulting, were rather shocking, after all. Nadeline seemed to forget all composure, letting her jaw drop. Vlyn was specchless--truly, completely speechless, he really didn't expect this (and in the back of his head kicked himself; Aloa had been right after all). Emiri had her mouth open, too, but covered it with one hand. Then, rather unexpectedly, she uncovered her mouth, revealing a very strong, very emotional, yet tiny smile. She didn't know what she was feeling--gratitude, relief, joy--but whatever it was, it made her happy. Like, really, really happy. She almost cried, her hands to her heart as she smiled at Jaakuna.

"You cannot be serious." Nadeline expressed her disbelief as she broke the silence, looking at Emiri. "Emelia!"

Emiri was snapped out of her reverie, and she looked at Nadeline, her smile fading. "Forgive me, I don't know who you're speaking to. My name is Emiri."

Nadeline gasped at her statement. "Lia..."

This...is a problem. Vlyn scratched his head, actually at a loss for words. He kinda wished Aloa was around; she was the one that usually knew how to handle things like this. Clearing his throat, he tried to regain his composure. "Really now...are you absolutely sure about this?" He already knew the answer, he was asking more for his own sake, really. "Literally all you have to do is walk away. Seriously."

Time Stops For Fire(Altered Tundra and Hero)

The two girls looked at Jaakuna, dumbfounded, though for different reasons. Nadeline was beyond insulted, clearly a result of his vulgarity. Who did he think he was, insulting the Princess of Rozarria? She had half a mind to attack him right then and there! On the other hand, Emiri felt slightly disappointed. A one-way ticket, huh? Of course that's what she was.

"Now, now, children, let's all settle down here."

Vlyn chuckled slightly, having been admiring the trio from quite a distance, though due to recent circumstances (mainly the Archadian general in the Aerodome) he needed to make a change of plans. "Let's all play nice here, I have a simple solution to everyone's problems." He placed a large bag on the ground, motioning towards Jaakuna. "As promised, and a little extra for handling my precious Nadeline. I know she isn't an easy girl to deal with." He winked, tossing a stone in the air and catching it. "Your work here is done. I thank you for your prompt service, Sky Pirate."

"What is the meaning of this?!" Nadeline blurted, outraged and seething from both Jaakuna (the nerve of that man insulting her!) and Vlyn (where the hell has he been and why did he decide to show up NOW?!).

Vlyn waved at her, though he walked on over to them, placing a hand on Jaakuna. "Women, am I right?" He grinned, turning to Nadeline. "Please calm down, we'll be leaving momentarily. Though I wish you had gone to the hotel as you promised Aloa and I."

The male Viera was the one Emiri had seen going down the street--had he been around here all this time? And why pick NOW of all times to appear? She eyed the stone in his hand warily, feeling something...particular about it.
