[RP] Final Fantasy IX: Scars of Terra

"There is 3 of them and 3 of us, we can take them easy." Twinsword said as she moved in to get in position in front of them.

"Is this girl ever so eager to fight?" Anne said

"I don't honestly know" as he said this the two women charged forward taking out two of the guards quickly, He kept up with them and while the Twinsword was blocking the last mans attack, Aaron snuck behind him and stabbed downward into his back the sword went through the soldiers body blood dripping down the blade.

"Well.. that was messy" He said to them, while taking his sword out of the dead soldier.

"Since Twinsword here is so gun ho on this, why don't you lead the way."
 
Robert Crescent

​
Robert guided the survivors out of the path of the crashing airship before leaping out of the way moments before the impact occurred. However, the wreckage of the airship had separated him from Atalanta. He could hear her shouting at him from over the flames thanks to his enhanced hearing and long ears. "Meet up at the castle!" he called back before he began to lead the survivors through the maze of alleys and backstreets. As the Burmecian guided the survivors through the streets and fended off the monsters that were still on the loose, he eventually came across a number of guards who were aiding civilians in the evacuation. Robert approached the guards with his group of civilians. Once the guard took the group from there, Robert headed back to the rooftops in order to survey the area and get a good grasp on what they had left to deal with as far as the attacking military forces of Oilvert.​
 
Ricard watched the Ninja with his sword held ready, watching him continue the silent treatment "You know you make this whole thing really awkward, you might be a ninja but having a one way conversation is really weird" With Eiko and the wounded girl out of the way however, Ricard was more able to move around without worrying about anyone else getting hurt. "Since your job's over with why not just leave now anyway? I never really thought of ninja as honour fighters, unless i'm considered a priority target suddenly?"

---------------------------------------------------

Upon landing back on solid ground Vanessa stood close to Remilia, instinctively grabbing her left arm lightly as she kept looking around for anyone who might try to hurt them, she was out of the main danger zone but Vanessa was still worried about Atalanta, she was strong but she didn't know what to do if her sis got hurt. Lowering her head she hoped this battle would be over soon, keeping on a brave face as best as she could she waited to follow Remilia's lead.
 
Remilia Oveilia

Remilia smiled as Vanessa grabbed on to her left hand as she remembered what Rob said about Vanessa using magic. It reminded her of her first time using magic and the confusion of using magic without proper instruction. Looking down at the girl, Remilia started to walk as she started talking to her.

"Vanessa, I heard that you can use magic. It seems like you don't have formal instruction in using magic. If you want, I can teach you how to use the Erg of mana properly so you can use magic to defend yourself. Is that ok with you dear?" Remilia asked looking at the small girl.
 
Atalanta Palaiologos

The Oeilvert Army was now pulling back, but with the situation as is, Lucia was now hampering civilian evacuation, despite the order to retreat being given. Looking up at Lucia, she knew that she wasn't able to stop her from here. Taking a small rock, she knew that if she couldn't reach her to knock some sense into her up close, maybe she could bring her down. Using as much strength as she could to knock her out, Lucia tossed the rock, aiming for Lucia's head.

----
Annelise Steiner, The Twinsword & The Ninja

"Since Twinsword here is so gun ho on this, why don't you lead the way."

"Awesome, follow me!" Twinsword said as she moved forward, with Annelise following after them. As they turned the corner she saw Ricard with his sword drawn, looking out at his opponent. As she got closer he heard him speak. "Since your job's over with why not just leave now anyway? I never really thought of ninja as honour fighters, unless i'm considered a priority target suddenly?"

That was a thought that crossed Ninja's mind, but the arrival of backup meant that that thought went out the window. The Ninja did the next best thing, instead running to the side and jumping out the window, falling several stories before using his climbing glove to grab hold of the Castle Walls, slowing his descent.

"Ricard, glad to see you're alright." Annelise said as she ran towards him, but Twinsword moved her out of the way. "Yes, I mean...we're really glad to see you're alright."

----
The Bishop

The Bishop was able to cart the Princess' unconscious body over to the airship as it was starting to take off. The wounded Lord General felt a little better, but she would still need an Ether so she can tend to her wounds. "Lord General, may we..."

"Can it, just get us out of here..."

"But what about General Brandish and General Ninja...?"

"They'll handle themselves, just take me to Alexandria immediately."

The soldiers saluted and began to tell the captain to leave immediately for Alexandria and rendezvous with the fleet besieging the city there.

Aaron Followed the two women further into the castle, running through hallways looking for more enemies, as they get further in they come across Ricard and a Man who dressed like a ninja.

"Since your job's over with why not just leave now anyway? I never really thought of ninja as honour fighters, unless i'm considered a priority target suddenly?"

"So thats a ninja, never seen one myself..." He spoke to himself while looking at the enemy.

The two women instantly run over to Ricard and ask him if he's alright, as usual they're fighting over who talks first, Aaron shook his head and wondered what would happen if Ricard suddenly got captured or attacked while they distracted him.

"You're quite the ladies man Ricard, but whats going on here? He asked Ricard while keeping his sword drawn in case of a sudden attack.
 
Lan Ester

Lan felt the ship shake as it started to take off. Smiling, Lan exited the room and started to walk on the deck before he saw two people that made his blood go cold. Bishop with Eiko.

'Eiko being here is not part of my plan. Great, now how do I get a princess out of enemy grasp without exposing my identity along the way? Hmmm.' Lan thought as he looked at the unconscious Eiko.

No answer came to his mind at the time as he frowned. He would have to make his next move very carefully now as he walked up to Bishop and saluted her.

"General Bishop, congratulations on abducting the Princess of Lindblum and on the success of the theft of the Fire Mirror. What will you do with her?" Lan asked in a monotone as he looked at the unconscious Eiko.

Shaking his head lightly at Annelise's and Twinsword's displays Ricard sheathed his sword before addressing Aaron "Hard to say on the whole, one second we were all watching the festival, the next i'm hacking my way through Oeilvert soldiers and stopping a ninja from kidnapping Eiko, speaking of, did you see her back there? A wounded girl was with her, I doubt they'd be hard to spot" Ricard then looked through the window of the Ninja that escaped "That sure was quite a drop, though I get the impression he didn't get himself killed there, if he shows up again I suppose i'll have to deal with him there and then. Looks like the battle is dying down now at least"

---------------------------------

Vanessa kept Remilia's magic offer in mind, though right now at least she wasn't sure if she wanted to learn, she didn't like hurting people or seeing others hurt, even monsters. Knowing Remilia wouldn't be able to hear her thoughts however, she made a more vocal reply "I'll think about it..." Vanessa then walked ahead of Remilia and looked out of the window, seeing the destruction was painful to her, but she was glad it was coming to an end "What will we do now that they're leaving? Me and sis haven't got a home anymore"

-----------------------------

While Lucia continued her rampage on the now retreating Lindblum ships Lucia didn't take note of her back as what felt more like a brick than a rock slammed into the back of her head, knocking her swiftly facefirst to the ground. Slowly climbing back to her feet she turned around to face her assaulter "You... So you're an enemy after all!" Lucia returned to her flight position and send a spike from the ground directly at Atalanta before charging her with a powerful swipe of her claws. "I won't let you stop me... I won't let anyone stop me!"
 
"Hard to say on the whole, one second we were all watching the festival, the next i'm hacking my way through Oeilvert soldiers and stopping a ninja from kidnapping Eiko, speaking of, did you see her back there? A wounded girl was with her, I doubt they'd be hard to spot"

"I see and I didn't know they were targeting Princess Eiko as well, We didn't see her one our way here..." He answered with a grim look on his face.

"I Hope they didn't capture her, it would be bad if Oeilvert got their hands on a Princess... They could ransom her for the mirrors..." He thought to himself.

"That sure was quite a drop, though I get the impression he didn't get himself killed there, if he shows up again I suppose i'll have to deal with him there and then. Looks like the battle is dying down now at least"

"True, but if he was after Eiko I think we should search for her and this injured soldier, We can't let Oeilvert get their hands on Princess Eiko, They may use her as a Hostage for the Mirrors even with her summoning powers I'm sure they have something prepared to keep her from using them" He explained his thoughts to Ricard and the others.
 
Annelise Steiner and the Twinsword

As Annelise listened in on the conversation, she did notice that the situation was true and the battle was indeed drawing towards victory for the Lindblumite forces. But the issue of Eiko is still an important matter, and as she tried to keep a swooning Twinsword away from Ricard, Anne said calmly at Aaron "Then we must make a priority on finding Eiko." Turning towards Ricard, she asked him, "Ricard, do you know in which direction they may have went?"

----
Atalanta Palaiologos

"You... So you're an enemy after all!"

Atalanta looked at the tranced female that was tearing up the city, and closed her eyes. "You're being delusional, try to come to your senses, please!" She said, looking at Lucia with fires in her eyes. But it seemed that Lucia was now acting in full berserker mode. "Try to come to your senses, I do not want to hurt you!" The tall woman pleaded, in vain as she screamed out, "I won't let you stop me... I won't let anyone stop me!" Before she brought her claws down on the side of her face. The wound wasn't deep so there would not be any scars, but it started to enrage Atalanta. "Then, come at me, I will bring you back." She said in a slowly roused tone as she threw a right hook to the side of Lucia, it was going to be a light hook, she did not want to injure the woman.

----
The Bishop

"General Bishop, congratulations on abducting the Princess of Lindblum and on the success of the theft of the Fire Mirror. What will you do with her?"

"Oh spare me the pleasantries Lieutenant." The Bishop said, annoyed if at all else. Looking at the prisoner, she said, "Throw her in the brig, she's Cyril's problem once we arrive in Alexandria." She said before turning away at the unconscious prisoner. Usually she would have just thrown her off or had someone kill her on the spot. She was cursing herself for being soft, even at a weak, pathetic princess like her, but she did not really care anymore, all that mattered was just going to Alexandria now.
 
Remilia Oveilia

"What will we do now that they're leaving? Me and sis haven't got a home anymore"

Remilia didn't have an easy answer for Vanessa as she walked up behind her and patted her on the head.

"I don't know. But one thing's for sure. We have to stop the war and Robert, Anne, and the rest of us will make sure of it. After that, you can make Lan build you a new house. In any case, we'll have to find Anne." Remilia responded hoping for an answer while grabbing Vanessa's hand and slowly pulled her away from the window so she can start looking for Anne.

----------------
Lan Ester

"Oh spare me the pleasantries Lieutenant. Throw her in the brig, she's Cyril's problem once we arrive in Alexandria."

"Understood." Lan muttered as he picked up Eiko while mentally swearing like a sailor.


'If anything, their next location is at Alexandria and Cyril is there as well. Ninja and Gisale is not on board. So I'll bet they will be heading to Alexandria as well. The possibility of Magic Knight being there is also likely. All in all, when I find Cyril, I'll be up against him and 4 to 5 Lord Generals. Gisale might help me, but that's a very big maybe. Time to prepare for 5 to 6 man fight.' Lan thought as he followed two soldiers to the brig.

It made him happy to know that there was a moogle there as he placed Eiko on the Brig's floor. Turning to the two soldiers, Lan spoke to them.

"I'll keep an eye on Eiko. Why she didn't die by General Bishop's hand is beyond me. Something happened in Lindblum that changed her." Lan muttered as the guards nodded and left the room, uneasy though at Lan's words.

Lan watched them leave the room as he turned to the moogle.

"I need a quick letter to Anne. Here's the message, Problem, Eiko is caught by Bishop. I'm keeping an eye over her now as well as the mirror. Head to Alexandria, Bishop stated Cyril is there. Be careful on your route there." Lan whispered as the moogle finished writing.

"It's finished Kupo." the moogle replied.

"I can't get you to the deck to fly normally, so you'll have to take the next best thing. Ejection by window." Lan muttered as he picked up the Moogle.

Finding the nearest window, Lan broke it open and tossed the poor moogle outside as said moogle used it's wings to float to the ground. Rushing back to the Brig, Lan leaned against a wall as he started to figure out a way to get Eiko out of the enemy's hands.

 
"Well I can't say I watched them move away but if I had to guess i'd say in the direction you came, though they must have taken a seperate turn for you all to miss them on the way here" Ricard then proceeded to follow the path he specified.

"I suppose we look for a seperate path and we should find them soon enough"

Going in the direction he specified it didn't take long to find a small blood trail "I sure hope that wound of her's doesn't do her too much damage..."

---------------------------------------------

Vanessa nodded slowly and walked with Remilia to find Anne, hopefully soon she'd be reunited with her sis, she should have an answer for her.

Vanessa could hear the sounds of metal footsteps up ahead, she hoped it wasn't an enemy but nonetheless positioned herself behind Remilia, trying not to shake too much as the footsteps began to approach.

-----------------------------------------------

Not intending for a strong counterattack, Lucia didn't take into account Atalanta's brute strength. Even when little weight was thrown behind it, Atalanta's size made it stronger than it appeared as it pushed Lucia down to the floor. Wiping the gravel off her face Lucia slowly stood up and stared down Atalanta again "You... YOU BITCH!" Lucia grabbed a spike of earth from the ground and hurled it like a Javelin directly at Atalanta before beginning to gather more energy for a stronger attack.
 
Atalanta Palaiologos

The Pillar of Earth struck Atalanta at the shoulder, forcing her off the ground and moving with the pillar until it hit a wall, leaving her stuck there. The Mercenary screamed out in pain as her shoulder practically split open, blood dripping profusely down the side of her arm and onto the ground. The pink haired female panted softly as she saw the assailant, feeling as if her blood was boiling. Her pupils began to contract as her emotions began to surge forward, her hand on her trapped arm slowly clutching up into a fist, she growled loudly as she took her other hand and began to remove the pillar a force of energy swarming through her as howled out like a beast, her hair color turning purple and looking wildlike as she looked back at Lucia, looking to take her down.

Remilia Oveilia

Hearing the footsteps, Remilia saw many more people enter the castle.

"Survivors. Let's go Vanessa. We need to find Anne and Twin Swords." Remilia answered as she grabbed Vanessa's hand and ran, making sure that Vanessa caught up. Soon enough, she found the pair as well as Aaron and Ricard there.

"Guys, survivors are pouring into the castle, both Brandish and Bishop fled." Remilia called out as she slowed down to a stop as she used her staff as a third leg to lean on while she caught her breath.
 
Annelise Steiner and the Twinsword

As Anne and Twinsword followed Ricard and the blood trail, they came across both Remilia and Vanessa, the former exhausted from such travels. "Guys, survivors are pouring into the castle, both Brandish and Bishop fled."

"Don't worry." Twinsword said eagerly, "We'll get 'em next time." Annelise on the other hand tried to put her mind away from such matters, after everything that has happened, she felt weak, having failed to stop Brandish and failed to stop Lan from taking the mirror. She didn't want to show it to anyone, most especially Ricard or Twinsword. As they followed the trail of blood, they would come up across an open balcony. "That's where the trail ends." Anne said calmly. "But I don't understand, were they captured?"
 
Remilia Oveilia

"That's where the trail ends. But I don't understand, were they captured?"

Remilia looked at the trail of blood as she remembered Robert's attack on Bishop. It didn't seem likely that Bishop knew any healing spells. Given her colorful personality. Remilia could only think of one thing.

"They did come and attack this place by air. You think they excape by having one of their airship pick them up? That would be the most practical idea." Remilia pointed out as she looked up into the sky.
 
Aaron followed Ricard, Twinsword, and Annelise down the hallways following the trail of blood they ran into Remilia along the way who brought good news that the Brandish and the Bishop fled, It seemed they managed to push back Oeilverts Troops. But it cost alot of soldiers lives and many were injured.

The trail of blood ended, Remilia mentioned that they may have escaped using one of their Airships.

"That'd be my guess, you just can't vanish with a wound like that, The only reasonable way out of here quickly would be a Airship pickup..." He looked up as well only to think that, that isn't whats important right now.

"We still need to find out if Princess Eiko is alright!" He called out to Ricard and the others.
 
Watching Atalanta's transformation almost completely held Lucia's attention to fight her, though as she heard the sound of the call of retreat from the Oeilvert forces above, her rage reignited and directed itself at their fleet. Turning her back on her current opponent she returned to her former one, gaining flight again and started to dash off to the fleet, they weren't leaving without due punishment.

--------------------

"Well if we assume the other girl was indeed an enemy then with them retreating, all we can do for now is figure out where they've gone and then prepare a rescue mission. Since Lindblum most likely doesn't have easy access to airships to loan us one, for now we should focus on gathering up survivors and clearing out any pockets of resistance left in the city."

With that said, Ricard looked around the city from the balcony "If we can get our hands on an enemy vessel however, we might just have a chance of getting Eiko rescued with haste"
 
Robert Crescent
​

Robert returned to the area after he finished guiding the survivors to the castle. It was a rather extensive job not only to find survivors, but to protect them from both enemy forces and the wandering monsters left over from the festival. As he made his way past the crowds with his jumping abilities, he eventually arrived back to the place where he fought Bishop. He hoped he could find some of the others there so they could update him on the current situation. He had a simple white button-up shirt on to cover his upper body as his leather top was pretty much useless and all ripped and burned up from his battles. He was certainly feeling a bit piqued from the work and in need of some rest. The Burmecian leaned back against a wall to try and recuperate a bit.​
 
Remilia Oveilia

"If we can get our hands on an enemy vessel however, we might just have a chance of getting Eiko rescued with haste"

Remilia turned to look at Ricard as she smiled sadly.

"Their target is the mirrors right? There's only one location left if we leave out Clerya and Burmecia. We need to get to Alexandria. We also need to let Lan know on what happened to Eiko." Remilia muttered as she shook her head before looking at Vanessa.

The summoner squeezed the little girl's hand a bit in a reassuring manner before seeing a moogle hovering towards them with a piece of paper in it's hands.
