Melody uses Flying Object on Freshly-Dead! 14 Dmg! [Hurls Dismembered Limb (F8) at target] [Medium object] [Object is destroyed] (INT)

MP: 23/40

R-Ability Exercising the Mind activates! [+4 MP Recovered]

MP: 27/40

Melody, feeling much better now thanks to Hikari's healing, focused on another object and just hurled it at where she thought the enemies might be. Her vision hadn't quite come back to her yet, but she was hoping that whatever she hurled had hit something. In the meantime, she reached out for another object to replace the one she destroyed.

Melody uses Innate Control!

Dismembered Limb (F11) is moved to F8!

R-Ability Exercising the Mind activates! [+4 MP Recovered]

MP: 31/40

Melody waits.

Mia moves to I6.

Mia dashed forward, freed of the skeleton's trap. Once she stopped, she dealt a vengeful slash to one of the annoying things. It didn't seem to do much, but it was better than nothing at the moment. Melody seemed to be back in full gear, so that was always a good thing.

Mia attacks Rot! 10 Dmg! (ATK)

~Player Phase V~

Hikari uses Aero on Rot! 14 Int DMG! Chance of Confusion.

Hikari quickly stepped forward in her sleep, twirling her staff in her hand. She pointed it at one of the two skeletons that were left, and a blast of wind assaulted the creature, rattling it's bones and making it's head spin around and around. Hikari's magic seemed to work wonders against their enemies.

Sekai attacks Freshly-Dead! 10 Atk DMG! 2 hits!

Sekai howled in pain as the skeleton assaulted her. Blood poured out of the wound on her stomach. She held herself together with one of her hands, the other lashing back out at the skeleton, smacking it good two times. It didn't seem to do much, but the overall damage done so far was enough for Sekai to considerably weaken it this time around.

MP: 17/40

R-Ability Exercising the Mind activates! [+4 MP Recovered]

MP: 21/40

Melody raised her hand and flung what was apparently a dismembered limb at one of the nearest skeletons with her psychic powers. The thing wiggled as it soared through the air, striking the target with additional force from the psychic energy. Able to see now, she located another limb and pulled it closer to her, setting it in the same spot as the previous one, sort of like reloading her ammo.

Melody uses S-Ability Innate Control!

Dismembered Limb (H11) is moved to F8!

Melody moves to F9.

Mia waits.

Mia was not pleased. Twice? This time, she audibly growled at the creature, eager to break free and really tear it up, even though she could only rely on her less effective basic sword skills. She had to remind herself to keep her cool; she'd have her chance in due time.

by Xenosaga Wed Nov 03, 2010 4:14 pm

[Amaya] moves to [J-2].

As soon as she was in range of her target, Amaya raised a single slender finger and pointed directly at the remaining skeleton. Cold air rushed beneath it before a large icicle burst out of the ground, striking the undead creature hard from below.

[Amaya] casts Icicle on [Rot]. 17 Ice INT DMG.
MP: 36/60

The darkness had faded and Rai could finally see through her eyes. Pity, she had been starting to get used to using her other senses. Still, the sudden light, no matter how dim, hurt a bit but no matter. It stung compared to her other wounds.

[Rai] moves to [J-7].

Now able to see what she was doing, Rai was not about to miss. Swinging her mahne, she struck the skeleton in the back, careful not to jar Mia, who was stuck in the undead's ribcage. It looked quite uncomfortable.

[Rai] attacks [Rot]. 11 ATK DMG.

Hikari opened her eyes as soon as the final skeleton was downed. She held a grimace upon her face, looking around at her friends. Mia was just released from the skeleton, and Sekai had accidentally gotten her hand stuck in between one of the skeleton's ribs. With a mighty pull, Sekai managed to slip her hand out, but also caused the skeleton to fall to pieces on the ground. Hikari gave Sekai a disapproving look.

"What?" Sekai asked upon seeing Hikari's face, "He had it coming to him."

"Everyone seems to be doing okay," said Hikari, who wanted to change that subject as quickly as possible. She looked around again, noticing that most of the spirits and devils had decreased in number, probably because of the fighting. It troubled her that so many spirits couldn't find rest.

"Don't bother Hikari," Sekai said, "they can't even tell we're alive. Look," Sekai moved in front of a moving spirit as it was passing by. The spirit completely ignored her, and went right through her. Sekai shrugged, "See? Not even bothering to watch their step."

by **Masquerade** Sat Nov 06, 2010 10:32 am

Letting out a sigh of relief, Melody took a moment to catch her breath. Even though her fighting wasn't strenuous on the body, just the closeness of the battle had her forgetting to breath much during it. She sighed one more time before walking over to Hikari and placing a gentle hand on her shoulder.

"Thank you for the healing," she spoke with a smile. "Things were rather touch and go there for a while."

"You need to learn how to take better care of yourself," Mia shot at her. "Otherwise you'll just be a burden." The young girl took a moment to look around with a grimace. This was indeed an odd city. There was a cause to this trouble and something really should be done about it. Besides, all of these undead were annoying. Vague memories of being trapped filled her mind and she was not pleased.

by Xenosaga Sat Nov 06, 2010 1:29 pm

As soon as the battle ended, Amaya ran over to where Rai stood and grabbed onto the woman's clothing. She pressed herself against the knight, burying her face in the cloth. Rai blinked, looking rather surprised by the action, before her expression changed to that of a warm smile. The woman placed her hands on Amaya's back, hugging her. The child seemed to have run into some trouble during the battle.

"Are you alright?" she inquired, looking down at the girl. Amaya nodded, face still buried. Rai couldn't help but chuckle, finding the sight rather cute. She then looked over at the rest of the group. "We should hurry out of here. These creatures are bothersome. And Amaya doesn't like this place much. Which way do we go now?"

by Zerifachias Thu Nov 11, 2010 12:07 pm

"The tale states that the passage that leads underground is somewhere in the center of the city," Hikari answered, looking around. "But I don't see anything that could be a passage."

Sekai walked over to the fountain that was still spewing blood. She carefully looked down into the fountain. She paused, hovering there for a second. "Does a secret passage have to be dry? Because this might be what we're looking for. Take a look," Sekai said.

Hikari stood next to Sekai, careful not to trip. She didn't want to get a face-full of blood for more than one reason. She also looked down into the fountain. What she saw was a large, black abyss that seemed to move with the blood. It was probably a liquid of some sort, and looked dangerous. "If that's what we're looking for...no, we should test it with something first."

"Here," Sekai offered, picking up one of the few skulls that were lying on the ground. She tossed it into the pool of blood, and almost instantaneously, the skull burst into flames and disintegrated into nothing. Sekai stood there, her arm still outstretched, a shocked look on her face. "I vote against jumping in there. Let's keep looking."

by Xenosaga Thu Nov 11, 2010 1:48 pm

"How dangerous," Rai commented as she frowned, furrowing her eyebrows. "If what we're looking for really is in there, we'll have to somehow drain the fountain. Least we be burned alive." She had a firm grip on Amaya's shoulder for at the first sign of fire, the child had attempted to near it. One would think the child had never seen fire before.

She put on a thoughtful pose, her free hand on her chin. Amaya stared at the fountain, eyes unblinking.

by **Masquerade** Thu Nov 11, 2010 2:16 pm

"Indeed. Not a wise idea," Mia stated, curious as to what magical properties and secrets this fountain held. Unfortunately, there was no way to find out by just staring at it, so she meandered off. A little ways, looking at the various buildings in the area. It was a bit hopeless. This was a city, after all. And if there were to be a secret passageway, whoever designed would want to keep it just that: a secret.

"Don't wander too far off, Mia," Melody called out to the young girl before sighing. "Well, if the fountain isn't the key, then what we need should be nearby right? Shame we don't have anything more specific in mind..." she trailed off. This was the kind of thing seen in a children's storybook, but the solution here wasn't going to be as easy to find.

by Zerifachias Thu Nov 11, 2010 2:31 pm

"I don't think we're looking for a portal of any sort," Hikari assumed, "I think it has to be something physical. Like a trapdoor or something like that." Hikari walked around the fountain, looking on the ground for any sort of clue. The ground was covered in dirt, so the possibility of it being covered up by dirt wasn't too far-fetched. Sekai seemed to realize this, and began pounding on every inch of dirt she could reach with her foot.

"If it's underground, then it's covered by ground, right?" Sekai asked rhetorically, "So if the force is powerful enough, we might be able to break into this underground passage." Another few hits and Sekai stopped, glaring down at the ground.

"That will take too long," Hikari said, carefully watching Sekai.

"Well, we never planned a time limit, so when we get there, who cares how long it takes?"

by Xenosaga Thu Nov 11, 2010 2:52 pm

"Actually," Rai broke out of her thinking pose and turned to the former princess. "It would be best if we didn't take too much time. Remember, we are not welcome here. Who knows when the undead will return." The knight glanced down at Amaya for a brief moment before continuing. "We should split up into pairs and search the area. It would be best not to walk alone in this place."

Rai gave the entire place a wary look at her last sentence.

by **Masquerade** Thu Nov 11, 2010 6:33 pm

"I suppose we could cover more area that way," Melody admitted, though the thought of breaking into smaller groups didn't enthrall her at all. "I guess since we'll still be kind of close together, it'll be okay."

"Worried that you can't handle yourself?" Mia stated suddenly, appearing right next to Melody from seemingly nowhere. The young girl shook her head. "It's our best option for the moment. Hopefully, we won't have to apart for long." The only reason they would do it would be to cut down on time. Unless whoever hid the passageway and whatever mechanism used to reveal it did an amazing job at doing so, they were sure to find it in due time.

by Zerifachias Fri Nov 12, 2010 9:56 am

"Or we could just-" THUD! Sekai had been interrupted by the ground that had suddenly caved in under her pounding foot. She had fallen into the hold, which continued to grow in size some time after the initial collapse. Hikari paused, looking down into the hole, which had stopped growing. Sekai looked back up at her, a slightly unnerved expression on her face. "I think we just found it."

"Either that or it's a grave," Hikari suggested, pointing to one of the skeletons that littered the area. "Considering what this place is, I wouldn't doubt it being just a grave."

"It's not a grave," said a new voice.

"Who's up there?!" Sekai shouted, now attempting to climb up the fallen rock. Hikari turned around and set eyes upon the newcomers. There were three of them. Two of them male, and one female. Their appearance was rather odd, and they didn't look like friendly people. Except maybe the child, who was pale white with downcast eyes. It had been the male with brown hair who had spoken up.

"That's the passage to the Lost City. The same one we've been searching for for three years." The male said, now looking quite angry with them. "And you found it in less than an hour. Why is this?"

Now Sekai had been able to reach the surface, and she took her place in front of Hikari. "Because we're just luckier than you lot, what's it to you?"

"Luckier, huh? We'll see who's luckier after you're kissing our feet in an apology." The male growled back, putting a hand on his sword.

*Note: The term "Mini-Boss" just means that they have a slightly higher resistance to status effects, have elemental weaknesses/strengths, and are smarter than ordinary monsters.

Melody starts at D8.

The psychic sighed. She didn't understand what the big deal was. It wasn't like the entrance belonged to her and her allies just because they found it. The idiots on the opposing side didn't seem to want to back down, so if they wanted to get roughed up, then they would. She was finding harder and harder to remain civil in these situations, but a calming breath seemed to absolve her slight irritation.

Mia starts at D7.

Mia drew her blade in an instant and took a spot in front of Melody to protect her. "Maybe you should work on focusing that rage, hm?" Mia suggested. "Combine it with your psychic ability and you could be a force to be reckoned with." She said nothing more leaving Melody to ponder the idea. For the moment, she'd avoid attacking the brutish guy and decide to go after his quieter companions.

[Rai] starts at [E-6].

"My, my, won't this be troublesome," Rai stated in amusement, already bringing out her mahne. They had been lucky to find the entrance so soon but it seemed the world had other things in mind for them. And she had hoped they wouldn't have to fight anymore in this dark and gloomy place. "Stand back, Amaya."

Amaya gazed blankly up at the woman and nodded. She then ran over to the back, behind Hikari.

[Amaya] starts at [H-9].

~Player Phase I~

Hikari moves to H-7

"I hope this works." Hikari swallowed the nervous lump in her throat and raised her staff into the air. She began focusing her magical power into the shape of a sword, positioned directly above her. She breathed out calmly, the light mana above her lighting up the dark battlefield. With a sweep of her staff, she shot the light sword directly at the zombie-child.

Hikari casts Ragnarok on Dead Kid! 22 Int Light DMG!

Dead Kid is a Zombie! 44 Int Light DMG!!

Sekai waits.

Sekai decided not to act first, unlike Hikari, who seemed to be very hasty at the moment. Maybe Hikari's attack would scare them away. There was always that possibility, after all. Sekai spoke to Felix, "We're very powerful, I don't think you have much of a chance against us. We're willing to let everything go if you leave us alone," she offered.

by **Masquerade** Fri Nov 12, 2010 4:25 pm

Melody moves to D7.

"Mia, move for me, dear," she whispered as she unrooted Mia from her spot getting a glare from the young girl in return. She had been ready to unleash a full salvo against the opposition, but Sekai was on to something; it would be a shame to rough them up for nothing. Hikari had demonstrated what could happen to any of them. Maybe that display was enough to drive them away.

She smiled. One of the dismembered heads nearby rose into the air and slowly traveled over to the mighty fighter up front, the one who had done all the talking. The head circled around him malevolently as Melody glared at him. She herself even rose into the air.

"You'd best heed the words of my ally," she said, her eyes flashing an aquatic blue color, filling with psychic energy. "Underestimation of your opponents will only lead you to your demise." With that said, the skull settled down nearby the trio. Hopefully, they would run away scared silly.

Melody uses Levitate! [Float] [Move x2 cells]

MP: 37/45

S-Ability Innate Control activates!

Dismembered Head (C7) is moved to E3!

R-Ability Exercising the Mind activates! [+5 MP Recovered]

MP: 42/45

Mia moves to C4.

Mia growled slightly as the psychic woman pushed her aside. She shook her head and dashed through the dismembered parts. "You're wasting your time," she spoke harshly to her allies. "They went through the trouble of starting a fight. Let's give them what they want." She flashed out of existence for a mere second. It was almost as if she hadn't moved at all, but it was apparent that she had, for a deep gash presented itself upon the woman of the opposing trio. Of course, Mia wasn't through just yet. Focusing, she took a step forward only to be swallowed up by a sphere of darkness, appearing next to the woman and slashing her whilst a shadowy clone of Mia burst from the shadowy sphere and slashed her as well.

Mia uses Quick Dream on Cynthia! 12 Dmg! (ATK) [User takes another action]

MP: 25/35

Mia uses Focus: Shadow Step on Cynthia! 2 hits! 18 Dmg per hit! (ATK)

MP: 9/35

"I think it would be a good idea for you to listen," Rai commented as she held her mahne in front of her, focusing. "We wouldn't want you to get hurt, now would we?" Her pupils dilated as she reached her highest state of concentration, already pinpointing where she would do the most amount of damage.

[Rai] uses Silent Momentum. ATK increases by 50%.
MP: 14/20

Amaya did not understand why everyone was stalling for. These people were enemies. Threats. They were not friends, they were foes. And all beings who meant them harm were best to be eliminated as soon as possible. Amaya's eyes began to glow an eerie white and she seemed to float as she called upon the power within her.

There was a rumble and, suddenly, the temperature began to drop rapidly. The rumbling grew louder before a blast of white emerged from above. An avalanche of snow fell upon the three Amaya deemed as enemies, crushing and burying them beneath the cold.

[Amaya] casts Avalanche on all enemies. 29 Ice INT DMG. Chance of Freeze.
MP: 34/60

"Maybe we should call for a tactical retreat, Felix," The woman said nervously, eying the younger man next to her. "They seem powerful."

"No!" Felix shouted, "We're treasure hunters! Not weaklings that run away at the first sign of danger! Look at the dead kid," Felix looked over at the boy who had just been assaulted by a sword of light and an avalanche of snow. He had a blank expression on his face, as if nothing had actually happened. "He's not afraid, so why should we be?!"

Felix moved forward, brandishing his sword.

Felix uses Creation of the Moon on Sekai! 17 Atk Earth DMG!

"If you say so..." Cynthia sighed, frowning. She also took a step forward.

Cynthia uses Swoosh! 16 Int Wind DMG to all enemies!

"Can't say we didn't warn you." Hikari said with a sigh, then cast her wind magic. The gusts of wind that blew at the Dead Kid ended up making him fall over, flat on his back. He didn't even blink.

Hikari casts Aero on Dead Kid! 17 Int Wind DMG!

Sekai moves to F-4

Sekai uses Icicle Punch on Felix! 17 Atk Ice DMG! Chance of Freeze!

Sekai moved forward, holding up her fist. It began to form large, sharp icicles around it. "If you won't leave, then we'll just cripple you and leave ourselves." She said, then slammed her fist into the man, the icicles also hit him, causing parts of his body to freeze up.

"And so you've sealed your fate then," Melody said with a smile as her psychic display seemed to fade, her eyes returning to normal, though she still remained floating in the air. She pointed to the sky and watched as a cascade of teal arrows made purely of her psychic energy rained down upon the trio.

S-Ability Innate Control activates!

Dismembered Limb (B8) is moved to B7!

Melody waits.

Mia waits.

An unsettling feeling crept upon Mia. She wished to lash out with her blade, but stayed her hand. Something wasn't right. Her heartbeat increased slightly and she looked around fearfully. There wasn't anything to be afraid of; they were going to win. But no. The tides could always turn...always turn....

[Rai] moves to [E-4].

"How unfortunate," Rai smiled, moving closer to the group of three, now two. "It would be terrible to just leave you in a place like this but we aren't that forgiving." Her smile seemed to turn demonic as a dark shadow emitted from her. "I don't take kindly to those who attack us. I'm sure the creatures here will have much fun with your unconscious bodies."

Readying her mahne, she spun it, slicing at the boy the former princess had attacked. He seemed to be the most troublesome.

[Rai] uses Raptor Ripper on [Felix]. 23 ATK DMG. 4 hits.
MP: 4/20

"Amaya!" Rai called, turning her gaze to where the slightly glowing child was. "If you would please?" Amaya nodded, already readying another bombardment of snow.

"Shoot..." Felix growled, wincing from the pain. He glared up at Hikari and the others. "You haven't seen the last of us!" He shot. Sekai merely took a threatening step forward and Felix flinched. When he realized she was toying with him, he growled again and fled with his allies.

"That's right! You keep running!" Sekai shouted, waving her fist again, "And you better hope we never meet again!" Sekai huffed, spinning around on her ankle. "Now that they're gone, how about we check out this secret passage?" Sekai's tone seemed lighter after Felix had ran away with his tail in between his legs. Sekai jumped down into the hole, then turned around to help Hikari descend.

"Thanks Sekai," Hikari said, brushing off her dress. "We should be at the Temple of Light in no time at all!" she said brightly.
