The Goblins had retreated back into the field Nicus had laid his trap in when a particularly large, nasty and ugly Goblin began laying about the horde with his weapon, spitting curses and yelling obscenities to get his band back into order.

"ALRIGHT YEW IDJITS! GET BACK IN LINE!"

The Goblin leader turned to direct his wrath at one particular group of panicking Goblins when a grenade fell from the air to fall into his gaping mouth. Unconsciously he swallowed what he assumed was a particularly unlucky bird, when the taste of metal registered in his greasy little brain a second before the fuse reached the explosive.

The Goblin exploded in a shower of gore and shrapnel, cutting down several of his cohorts as well. More grenades began to rain down among the disorganized rabble, as Nicus began to bombard the horde. As the last grenade flew from his hands, a particularly large fragmentation grenade he had recently designed, he grinned and grabbed his hammer, ready to rush in and decimate the survivors of the band.

When explosions rang through the air, the small group turned to see their fellows exploding.

"GAYEEEEEEEEEE!"

Derry, on the other hand, drew his grosse messer and charged forward.

"ATTACK!"

Sendis lept up and charged with her sword and branch in hand. Reaching the disorganized group of Goblins she stabbed it through the head with her sword. As it fell, she planted her boot on the Goblin's chest and yanked her sword out with a wet squelching sound. "One down."

"...on these people, REGEN!" Lufia called out, finishing her chant. Green sparks of light appeared shortly around each of her allies, providing them with the healing status effect.

"With the goblins left, that should keep you all alive," Lufia commented, bringing her hammer up and running up and smashing one of the Goblins that decided not to fall back from Kupek, "You guys owe me some Gil or Ethers later!"

Kupek felt his stomach churn as goblin remains splattered onto his mekka. Trying to keep his mind together, he tried to focus on the task at hand.

"Lufia! Are you okay back there, kupo?" he shouted over his shoulder to the White Mage. The mekka yanked a goblin up into the air, and it squirmed against his grasp before he heaved it with all the might the mekka could muster at two of its allies. Hearing the mage shout and obliterate a goblin with her sizeable hammer, the moogle quickly nodded to himself.

"You guys owe me some Gil or Ethers later!"

"You got it, kupo!"

"How many times is this now?"

"I'll see what I can procure later, Ms. Arcsys." Raidou nodded, before turning to the scattering Goblin horde heading towards them. Readying the blade, the Fighter charped forward and leapt at the first Goblin, who stared dumbstruck at the human that seemingly flew through the air before planting his foot in it's face. Leaping off of the first Goblin, Raidou flipped forward and slammed the Cutlass through the skull of another Goblin behind it, his Helm Splitter trick tearing down through the creature with ease thanks to his powered blade. Taking advantage of the stunned state of the first Goblin, Raidou flipped the blade behind himself and jabbed it back.

"Not too bad for an opening move... Though perhaps I should heed my fathers advice and put more feeling behind my attacks." he commented, pulling his cutlass out and swinging it down to the ground to get the blood off of it.

"HAAAAAAAAAAA!" Derry Yelled as he slammed his blade down on a goblin with amazing speed.

Pushing through, he called out to the comrades closest to him.

"Remember, we attack from both sides!" he called out, "Keep the pressure on them and don't stop moving. If you find yourself stranded, call for help!"

He ducked under a punch and jammed his blade through his enemy's midsection.

"They are many, but we will be stronger!"

"How many times is this now?"

From his left, another Goblin rushed at him, to which Raidou responded by raising his blade and causing the creature to punch the flat end of it. As the Goblin howled in pain, the Fighter thrusted his foot into it's chest to kick it back towards another collection of approaching Goblins. While his back was turned, however, another Goblin ran up and kicked him in back of his leg, attempting to bring him down to the ground.

"Tch... Is that how you wish to play? Guardian spirits, give me power! RrrrrraaaaAAAAAAAH!!!" Raidou yelled out, raising his blade up to the sky, before bringing it down, a small wind gathering around him before dispersing, leaving him with a yellow aura. With speed increased and power generated, he leapt forward and drove his knee into the face of the Goblin that attempted to trip him, before kicking him towards the initial group of Goblins he knocked down.

"It only begins here!" he called out, spinning the Cutlass twice before charging at a third Goblin that attempted to sneak up on Kupek from behind. As the creature raised it's fist to punch the mecha, it sound found it's hand seperated from it's body, followed by it's arm, then it's head, and then finally it's upper torso. Behind the Goblin, Rai stood with the blade propped on his shoulder, looking around at the other creatures.

"Even with the plan, this may take a while."

"Kupek, keep pressing on and smashing through," Lufia said in encouragement as she smashed one goblin after another, "Their weapons will have a hard time getting through your Mekka."

Sendis continued to slash and bludgeon Goblins with her sword as she tried her best to press forward. It really wasn't working out, but she knew why at least. "Kupek! If you can reach my spear could yopu throw it over here!" She called out.

Nicus rushed forward into the fray, the Moogle's small stature belying his strength and speed, honed through years of hard work. With mithril hammer in hand, he started his attack by crushing the knee of the closest Goblin, causing the creature to fall to the ground in screaming pain, a scream that was abruptly cut off as Nicus crushed the Goblin's head with another powerful blow.

Nicus dodged away from the clumsy blow of another Goblin, before throwing a hand full of dirt into its face to blind it long enough for him to land a blow on its torso, cracking its ribs and seriously dampening its ability and will to fight.

"C'mon you slimey git!" Nicus goaded. "Is this all ya got?"

"Then we'll just have to have a late lunch," Derry growled as a goblin fist collided with the flat of his blade, "RRRAGH!"

With a burst strength, the Viera pushed the goblin stumbling back and switched his messer for his bow.

Fwip!

And the goblin fell. A twich of his ear caused Derry to turn instinctively and fire, hitting a goblin headed toward Sendis's backside in the leg. Another arrow put it to rest.

"I should make good on my promise."

Leaping up into a tree, he hopped from branch to branch, firing down as he went.

Sendis grimaced. The Goblin she was fighting was somehow matching her blow for blow. She blocked a sword strike from it with her own blade and raised the branch in her hand and brought it down like a club, smashing the creature's skull.

"Three more trees..."

The Viera closed the distance quickly and leapt through the air, landing between Sendis and a trio of goblins approaching from behind.

Fwip! Fwip! Fwip!

And the three goblins fell.

"Doing alright?" he called to the woman behind him.

"Fair," Sendis said. "I'm not used to fighting with a tree branch, but I'm even less used to fighting with only one weapon."

With some of the smoke clearing away, more goblins spotted and rushed towards Lufia and Kupek, yelling incomprehensible language.

"Gotta... *SMASH* ...keep... *SMASH* ...attacking! *Uppercut Swing*" the White Mage yelled in between single hit kills, rolling out of the way of a pair of goblins flying through the air afterwards, presumably thrown at her by stronger goblins.

Faris sprinted forward as Nicus' bombs rained down upon the enemies and Derry gave the order to attack. The Viera darted in between the goblins, many of whom were either to distracted by the rest of the team's attacks or were still to dazed by the smoke. Squinting into the smoke, Faris hopped into the air and planted her feet onto a larger goblin's shoulders.

"BLUE BIRD?!" she heard the monstrosity yell angrily, "FLY AWAY, FAR AWAY!"

Twisting in a place, the silver haired woman used her feet to snap the goblin's neck easily. She flipped off and landed in a crouch near two other goblins, that quickly charged at her. Springing to her feet, the Viera allowed one of the goblins to lunge at her, using it's momentum to shove his head into a tree. She spun quickly to the remaining goblin and ducked his attack before spinning her dagger in her hand and stabbing the monster in the neck.

"We shouldn't spread out too far, Derry!" she called out and shook her blade off. She moved towards Kupek and looked over her shoulder at the other Viera in the tree. "There could still be more close by."

Dani cast another web of electricity across the goblins, making sure not to hit any allies. I really wish we had a black mage to do this, she thought to herself, but someone needs to do artillery support...

"It only begins here!"

Kupek looked back just in time to see Raidou dismember a goblin, and he looked away quickly. Were these the kinds of things his father had seen in his adventures? He heard Raidou say "Even with the plan, this may take a while" and though he didn't respond aloud, he agreed.

"Kupek, keep pressing on and smashing through, Their weapons will have a hard time getting through your Mekka."

"Yes- I-I'll do my best to protect you!" Kupek's voice echoed back in response to Lufia. As if to challenge his claim, a goblin charged at Kupek brandishing it's blade. He couldn't avoid its attack in time, but as Lufia had said, he was safe thanks to his armor. The creature's blade clanged backwards from the force of it's strike -making the moogle inside wince- and the goblin looked enraged and confused. "EVEN ON BIG BAD, SHOULD WORK!" it shouted in frustration, and tried to attack once more.

Kupek was ready this time however, and he beat the beast to the punch- literally. The mekka reeled its hand back and slugged the goblin in the face with a great force. Teeth, bone and blood flew as the creature was instantly floored, and the sight made Kupek's stomach churn once more. Sendis called out to him-

"Kupek! If you can reach my spear could yopu throw it over here!"

Swallowing his butterflies away, he looked over to the armored woman, then over to her weapon, standing tall in the chest of a fallen goblin amidst the smoke. "I'm on it!" he shouted, and he began to move off. He quickly looked back to the White Mage, hoping he got her attention. "Lufia! I'm gonna help Sendis!" Trudging through the horde swinging haymakers, Kupek stepped up to the weapon and yanked it free of it's holding place.

It dislodged from the creature with a sickening noise, and Kupek couldn't help but gag. Turning in place, he lobbed the weapon back to it's owner horizontally.

"SENDIS!" he shouted over the melee.

"Thanks!" She shouted, turning to the spear. Her eyes widened under the visor as she saw it flying at her. Sendis quickly stepped aside as the weapon sailed past and embedded itself into another Goblin. Well that worked. She'd have to thank him later. Quickly moving over Sendis yanked the pear out and resumed fighting.

"I CAN FLY, HEY!" "YOU CAN FLY, HEY!" "WE CAN FLY, HEY!"

A pair of 'flying' goblins headed towards Lufia, forcing her to duck down as they passed overhead and crashed into the trees. A long knife from one goblin managed to graze the White Mage's cheek, leaving a bloody cut.

"This is getting ridiculous!" she yelled, standing and facing in the direction that the goblins had come from. She held her hammer in a ready position for the next one to come.

"MOTTO MOT-ARRRGH!" cried a third goblin just before smashing head first into head of Lufia's hammer. The corpse flew back through the smoke to where it came from with a sickening crash.

"There, I hope you learned your lesson," Lufia then said, wiping the blood away with her hand. The cut was already gone, thanks to the healing ability of the Regen spell.

"How many times is this now?"

Leaping forward, Raidou delivered a knee drive into another Goblin, sending it flying off to the side, before a red-colored Goblin charged in and knocked him back. This was something of a first for him, having not been hit like that by a Goblin before. Looking at the creature, he held his Cutlass out and swung out at the creature, who ducked the blow and followed with an Uppercut, to which Raidou rolled away from.

"This one appears to be a bit smarter... Still!" he gritted his teeth, before leaping off of the ground into another knee-drive. The attack struck the Red Cap in the stomach, forcing the creature back into 2 other Goblins.

Nicus finished off the one Goblin and whirled around to take out the legs of another that had rushed him, screaming and brandishing a crude club. The Goblin slid along the ground, its legs broken and splintered from Nicus swing.

"Hah!" Nicus crowed as he hopped up over the swing of another Goblin, crushing its skull with a double-handed blow of his hammer. The Goblin fell to the earth with a gurgle and a whimper as another came forth to take its place, swinging a blade it had looted from some poor town militiaman. Nicus blocked the blade with a precise swing of his hammer, causing the Goblin to reel off-balance before the Moogle crushed one of its feet with the hammer. The Goblin screamed in pain, a scream which grew louder as Nicus sidestepped and smashed the Goblin's knee causing it to fall to the ground. Nicus paused a moment so the Goblin could see his grim face, before he drove the wedge shaped side of his hammer into its face, blood spraying and bone crackling under the assault.

"HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH AND A BALLYHOO!" Nicus roared as he plunged further into the melee.

"How many times is this now?"

Dodging another swing from the Red Cap's fist, Raidou swung out with his foot aimed at the creature's head. Much to his surprise, the Red Cap turned and backhanded his foot away before delivering a Goblin Punch to his chest. The rapid strikes proved too fast for the Fighter to really keep up with, and the end result was him being sent flying a short distance before rolling on the ground.

"Ugh... Of all the Goblins i've seen, i've not quite faced one that's given me as much trouble as you." he groaned, slowly standing up.

"I SEE YOU BROKEN AND... BROKEN AND MAIMED! YEAH!" he heard the Red Cap yell out... Which may have been the most intelligent thing he heard a Goblin say. However, as the creature attempted another Goblin Punch, Raidou rolled forward and ducked under the furious fists before rising up, jutting his head under the chin of the enemy. A crack later notified Raidou that he successfully broke the Red Cap's jaw and shut him up for a while.

"RAAAAARGH!" a larger, dark goblin growled as it pushed through the crowd toward Derry and Sendis, "PUNY FEMALES! WE CRUSH!"

"Hmph," the Viera let out as he brought his grosse messer up, "We need to find their leader and defeat him."

And he ran forward, slamming his blade against the goblin's. Unprepared for the surprising force behind the strike, it almost stumbled back. The goblin regained its footing and resumed its attack. Derry ducked under the slash and lunged forward, shoulder-checking his enemy and persisting with a slash of his own. Winded, the black goblin brought his blade up to parry.

"FOOLS!" it grumbled, trying to hold back a cough, "I SAID CRUSH!"

And two goblins rushed in to help.
