GRAPPLING HOOK!

McCall Manor

In a flash Melanie was up and beside Ryan, grabbing his arm and trying to stop her obviously bigger fiance. While she didn't know what was inside of the strange potion vial she was sure it wasn't harmless-her mother had always told her not to play around with unfamiliar potions...

"Don't! You'll hurt him!" she yelled, trying to grab the glass.

[Ansem's House]

Roy jumped back as Kanna exploded the ground in front of them and showered the group in dirt and debris. Thanks to Rica's earlier water, Roy couldn't simply fry these guys... which irritated the Fuhrer to no end.

“Damn it! Shoot them!”

The soldiers tried to comply, opening fire on the group!


Rica stepped forward and produced a wall of ice between them and the gunfire, blocking most of the bullets. Then the ice wall shattered, and the broken shards of ice shot at the soldiers like a thousand tiny nails!

[Wild Rose HQ]

Rinoa sweat dropped.

“Oh boy... I'm a babysitter...”

She shrugged, and chased after Hammah, trying to catch the boy. Sure she's a rebel leader, but the kid was cute.

[Seymour's Ship]

Yuna paused, not speaking for a moment. Her mismatched eyes looked out at the seas, as they moved ever further from Luca, and on towards the dark, abandoned island where the summoner's originated from.

“... Of course there is more I'd wish to say to you... but it's best that I do not. We already know the outcome, and we both have far more important tasks ahead of us. But I do have one question...”

She turned to Didymus and looked serious.

“... When we have rid Garnet of the corruption of Diablos, and she has mastered true summoning... then she will return to Alexandria and claim her throne, correct? In that case, the largest nation of mages shall have a summoner Queen... and they shall become a great force in the world again. How is it that you, a Paladin... one who denounces magic as unnatural and evil... would help her achieve this? Would not a renewed Alexandria be a threat to Galdwin? And if it becomes one... would you take arms against the very Queen you are protecting now?”

Cheery conversation!

“... Of course there is more I'd wish to say to you... but it's best that I do not. We already know the outcome, and we both have far more important tasks ahead of us. But I do have one question...”


Didymus was uncertain what exactly Yuna was talking about (it could have been a number of things), but he was intrigued. He listened intently...


“... When we have rid Garnet of the corruption of Diablos, and she has mastered true summoning... then she will return to Alexandria and claim her throne, correct? In that case, the largest nation of mages shall have a summoner Queen... and they shall become a great force in the world again. How is it that you, a Paladin... one who denounces magic as unnatural and evil... would help her achieve this? Would not a renewed Alexandria be a threat to Galdwin? And if it becomes one... would you take arms against the very Queen you are protecting now?”


Didymus shook his head.

"That's...that's quite a mouthful, Yuna..." he said. "...I find myself wondering why you ask it. But I will answer all the same, and attempt to address your points. First off, Alexandria and Galdwin have tolerated each other for centuries, I don't suspect that shall change in the aftermath of this war. Alexandria may become a great force in the world again, but you know that Galdwin already occupies such a position. I think that one summoner, however powerful, would not be enough to tip the scales, even if she made them a bit more even."

He took a deep breath.

"This war is taking a toll on all three human nations on the mainland, Yuna...and Alexandria so far has had it the worst of all, last I checked. Their country has been host to invasions, occupations, and traveling armies on both sides. Alexandria will certainly benefit by her being a summoner...but it also has much damage to heal...besides, I don't suspect that the workings of Lady Garnet's parents have done much good for Alexandria in the long run, even if the brute strength of their...decisions...has been undeniable."

He sighed.

"As for why...because it's not about magic, Yuna. It's about love. Doing unto others as I would have done unto me. It's about what Garnet represents for BOTH Galdwin AND Alexandria. She can claim the Alexandrian throne, and she is not hostile to Galdwin-nor it to her. She can make peace between our nations and save thousands, millions of lives. If she fell...then Galdwin's chances of winning this war would drop. I would not say that our chance of winning would be impossible...but even a best-case scenario, it appears, would be an exhaustive effort to victory as we tried to pacify or establish a new government in Alexandria WHILE bringing Amestris to heel. Galdwin's chances of accomplishing a victory-namely through that means, drop significantly without the chance of forcing Alexandria to switch sides. I suppose we could possibly work something out via diplomacy or turn the two against each other, perhaps, get some sort of draw...and if we lost...well, neither the Order or or the nation itself want that."

He chuckled.

"So simply put, Garnet claiming the Alexandrian throne seems at least the most likely, least bloody, and most straightforward way we can win, if not the only way we can win. It seems that, perhaps, that this is the best way this war can be fought period."

He paused again.

"So you see? It's not about magic. It never was. It's about victory and it's about saving lives. Besides..."

He smiled a bit.

"...what better missionary work could there be? A nation of mages learning that a Paladin defended their next benevolent leader with his blood, sweat, tears, indeed his very life should it come to that, for all those reasons I mentioned-namely that of protecting THEM as well as Galdwin's populace?"

He looked at her.

"You see? Protecting Garnet means safeguarding BOTH the Galdwinian AND Alexandrian people! It's a better future, I think, for BOTH nations!"

He took a deep breath.

"And now your second point. If she became a threat to Galdwin, would I take arms 'gaisnt her? That depends, I suppose, as it has always depended. We Paladins try to use what influence and trust the nation gives us to steer it in a noble, right direction, a God-honoring one, as it appears they wish. We would not condone acts of unprovoked aggression or malice plotted against Alexandria...but should she enact wicked designs 'gainst Galdwin and its people...then the answer is yes. I would."

He sighed again.

"Whew...but as I said, she's not hostile to us. Nor we to her. I pray that should she claim the throne, Garnet would be an honorable leader who at least wants to do right, as her mother once was...and I always pray that Galdwin be blessed and do rightly, at least, as much as any nation men build can."

He chuckled.

"Well, I apologize for talking your ear off...but you DID ask."


Central City, Amestris

"ROY!!!" Cyrena yelled.

Yes, she had just called Mustang, her former CO and the man she hailed as "Fuhrer", by his first name.

To her credit, noticing that Mustang was wet, she jumped in front of him and snapped many times herself-creating solar beams that melted the ice shards, causing them to hit harmlessly as splashes of water rather than as cool, hard, sharp projectiles!

“I think that one summoner, however powerful, would not be enough to tip the scales, even if she made them a bit more even."

“It would be foolish to underestimate the power of a fully-trained Master Summoner. The summons you may have seen before are nothing compared to the might of the Legendary Summons... if Garnet is indeed one of those born with the natural ability to summon, and does not need stones... she can control powers far beyond the basic...”

"Whew...but as I said, she's not hostile to us. Nor we to her. I pray that should she claim the throne, Garnet would be an honorable leader who at least wants to do right, as her mother once was...and I always pray that Galdwin be blessed and do rightly, at least, as much as any nation men build can."

“... I knew her mother.” Yuna suddenly admitted. “She had come to Spira before, to meet with the Grand Maester, and the other Maesters... she seemed a wonderful woman... but then, when her husband disappeared...”

Yuna frowned. “... Do you know what the miasma is? Rumor has it, miasma is what twisted the Queen... do you know of its origin?”

Didymus nodded.

"Thank you. It is not my intention to underestimate anything...but you know as well as I do that history and legend are both full of valiant and heroic men and women challenging great and legendary beasts and monsters which put the summons we've seen to shame...and emerging victorious. I do not mean to belittle the abilities of these "Legendary Summons"...but one thing falling to another 'gainst all odds is far from unthinkable. Powerful, legendary monsters falling to noble heroes...and vice versa."

He smiled a bit at her.

"I simply stated my opinion and my own appraisal of the situation, which I stand by. But to be perfectly honest, I suppose I may hope and pray that we never have cause to find out if I am indeed correct." he chuckled again.

“... Do you know what the miasma is? Rumor has it, miasma is what twisted the Queen... do you know of its origin?”

Didymus shook his head.

"I don't know what exactly it is. Perhaps some mere narcotic designed to enhance feelings of personal power and arrogance that can be all the push someone one the edge needs to try their hands at dark and selfish endeavors. Perhaps it is some demonic substance, or some enchanted gas. In the end, the conclusion remains the same-it is to be warned against and, I suppose, stopped, if its source can be determined. I'm confident that those under its influence can be cleansed, but...nonetheless, the damage is done, in many cases, it appears."

He sighed, then grinned halfheartedly at her.

"So, what other cheery things shall we discuss?"

I can't see what you're imagining
-McCall Manor-

“It might not hurt him,” Ryan said, throwing Melanie off of him, “Heck, maybe it'll help him...Just learn not to disobey me again, or we'll try another one on him.

He forced Galv to drink the potion now, the red head glaring at him.

Ryan stepped back, waiting to see if there would be any effects. After a few moments, Galv stopped looking scared, and started looking worried.

“P-p-please le-let m-me down...?” Galv muttered.

-Ansem's House-

“Kanna...perhaps we should make a run for it,” Ethan said, appearing by Kanna, “I'm faster then them...I could get you out of here...”

Ansem's body was covered in darkness, and soon he was DiZ, his face and identity concealed.

He held up his hands, muttering a spell, as darkness crawled up around several soldiers, forcing them asleep.

“... Yet you know nothing of summoning. The fact you would compare a summon to a mere monster is one of the greatest insults anyone can say to a Summoner.”

Yuna did not sound offended; instead she sounded as if she were trying to explain something.

“Summons are connected to the Summoner. When a Summon trusts a Summoner, that Summoner's heart and mind empower the Summon.”

Then he spoke of miasma. She frowned.

“... I have my own theory... Miasma... it is a by product of a dark ritual. There was a rumor... that someone had tried to create a new... ability. A blend of alchemy and dark magic... something twisted and dark... and the byproduct of that ability is miasma...”

Didymus flinched.

Yeesh, she's snappy around me...I guess it figures...but how can this be a woman scorned? We...it was...we were both...regardless...


"I was not referring to the somewhat common menaces that one may bump into in the less civilized parts of the world..." Didymus said.

"...I was referring to the big things. From "mere" dragons to the "Zeal Demon" that is told of in the tale-legend or otherwise-about how my Order was founded. Powerful creatures able to lay waste to entire cities and vanquish scores of men and armies-yet many such creatures have fallen. It is not my intent to underestimate anything or anyone...but neither should we overestimate. Regardless..."

He shook his head.

"...I doubt we'll get anywhere arguing this. I move we let the subject drop."

“... I have my own theory... Miasma... it is a by product of a dark ritual. There was a rumor... that someone had tried to create a new... ability. A blend of alchemy and dark magic... something twisted and dark... and the byproduct of that ability is miasma...”

Didymus paused.

"I find myself wondering where you heard that rumor...and at the same time, it changes nothing. It's bad news, that needs to be stopped if it can."

He leaned against the wall.

"You know, I wonder if I can have a conversation with you that DOESN'T involve this kind of tension these days..."

“... While on my summoner's pilgrimage, we met a woman. She said her name was Maleficent. She was a powerful sorceress, perhaps the strongest I have ever met... she spoke of many things. It was from her that I heard the rumors.”

Yuna frowned a bit, recalling the experience. It had been a few years since her pilgrimage, but she remembered the chilling encounter.

“... The woman... she filled me with terror every moment I was with her. I fear she may have tried to attack us, but Sir Auron had us leave in the middle of the night, before we met her again.”

Yuna shook her head. “... The tension is not merely my fault, you know.”

Didymus listened as Yuna spoke of her encounter with one "Maleficent".

"Sir Auron...? You mean...that man with the jug and the red coat? He..."

Didymus paused. Auron did not strike him as one who would run, not easily, at least. Or maybe he just always did what he thought was prudent. Regardless...

"...interesting, indeed. Even if she would know, and again, even if these rumors and this theory of yours are true, it changes nothing. It's bad news, it must be opposed and stopped, right?"

“... The tension is not merely my fault, you know.”

Didymus actually laughed.

"Fair enough, fair enough." he said, then just sighed.

"Well, can we even try to have a normal conversation?" he asked. "One that doesn't end with us at each other's throats? Heck, it may be beneficial to the mission if we can coexist without awkwardness, wouldn't you agree?"

He laughed again.

"Either way, I perhaps should be returning to Lady Garnet's side...unless, of course, you've anything else to say?"

McCall Manor

Melanie stumbled back as Ryan threw her off of him suddenly, and now the girl could only watch hopelessly as Galv was forced to drink the horrible potion.

Suddenly Melanie felt different....First it felt like her insides were burning (a feeling she assumed Galv was feeling tenfold)....Then she felt....Mad?

Wait. What?

"Get away from him you dumbass!" Melanie yelled, a sudden wave of rage overcoming her as she rushed back at Ryan and pushed him aside. "Before I break your face!"

Oh look, Melanie is now Kanna.

Ansem's House

Kanna didn't have time for this

"Fine..." She said, not looking happy at all but agreeing with Ethan. "Lets get out of here"

-McCall Manor-

Ryan was suddenly pushed aside by Ryan, too confused to stop her for the moment.

“Huh...it seems the bond made the potion effect you too...” Ryan frowned, “You're acting more like your mother...Too bad that potion didn't make you take after your mother in...other ways.”

“Me-melanie, do-don't do anything...ra-rash...” Galv stuttered.

-Ansem's House-

Ethan nodded, suddenly picking up Kanna, and heading off down the street, running quickly from the forces!

He didn't tell Rica they were making a break for it. He didn't really like Rica, obviously. XD

Ansem strode towards the forces, holding his hand up, disguised in his DiZ persona.

“Colonel...No...Fuhrer Mustang, is it?” DiZ called out, “Leave now.”

That probably wouldn't work.

“It changes EVERYTHING! If someone is attempting to mix Alchemy and Dark Magic, they are trying to create something new and perhaps dangerous... Alchemy has laws that cannot be broken... but if one use Dark Magic to negate those laws...”

She fell silent.

“... It is possible whoever is behind this is trying to create life from nothing... can you think of a more abominable task?”

She shook her head.

“I have nothing else I should say now.”

[Ansem's House]

Rica merely sighed, and followed after Ethan and Kanna. He wasn't too afraid of bullets... he could transfigure himself into water if he absolutely had to. There were a lot of benefits to his powers... but also one very horrible drawback...


Roy shook his head. “Forget it! I want information!”

The soldiers continued shooting at everyone...

Didymus nodded.

"Indeed, nothing good would come from that, I think...and though they would doubtlessly fail at creating life per se, at least, they still may...produce terrible results..."

He paused.

"I realize your concerns, but as far as our aim for it, again, it changes nothing, at the end of the day. It must be stopped and purdged."

He nodded.

"Well, I thank you very much...talk to you later, I suppose..."

He turned, and went into the room that Steiner and Garnet were in, and greeting Steiner, sat down next to Garnet again, looking her over. He bowed his head and laid a hand on her head...

For some reason Melanie couldn't push away the feeling of extreme anger she had for Ryan...She wanted to beat him into next Tuesday for being such a creeper.

Unfortunately Melanie had the same problem Kanna had...She was currently a foul mouth spitfire....But she was a puny as a twig...At least Kanna had street cred and mad magic skills....Melanie just looked like an angry puppy.

"Don't be dumb!" she said to Galv "I won't do anything rash- i'm just gonna PUNCH RYAN'S FACE!"

....Ummm that's pretty rash...But she proceeded to try and punch him. Her hands turned black and cold and she aimed up at his jaw.

Ansem's House

Ethan picked Kanna up and the woman made a little noise, caught off guard by the action.....Well at least she didn't have to run she supposed...And if they got blown up she could at least blame Ethan's lame running skills.
