Alexandrian countryside

"SISTER!" Didymus cried. "DEAL WITH THE NEWCOMER!" he shouted, referring to the newly-appeared creature/man...something was off about him, oh and the fact he suddenly APPEARED in a purple mist did NOT alleviate his concerns.

Didymus watched, fearful that he would not reach Garnet in time...

If I can't, does that mean that He wants her to-

Suddenly, a summon! The creature caught Garnet, but rather then simply setting her down...it dropped her...right into his arms.

He was a tad flustered.

"Are you alright, Lady Garnet?" he asked.

He knew he had other priorities right now, but the mysterious stranger who had just appeared was secondary to his mission concerning Garnet.

He was still holding her, waiting for a response.

You're holding her bridal style...
...yes, because that was the best way to catch her!


He tried to push his mental argument with himself out of his head. Garnet may have noticed he was a tad tense, and recalled what she had heard last night...


Steiner looked on.

"Hmmm..." he muttered, unsure what to make of the scene, but glad that Garnet was safe (despite what he deemed a reckless disregard to her safety on the part of the Galdwinian soldiers). Even Didymus wondered if they weren't being a tad hasty, but it seemed that it worked out.

Just keep on believing... he thought, and a small grin briefly flashed on his face. Even though he was still holding Garnet.

Of course, if the Waltz was still there, he'd put her down and face it, but I think it fled...


Ankh-Morpork

Cyrena was ecstatic. Going in after the Bending Avatar alongside Mustang?

It wasn't LIKE a dream come true, it WAS a dream come true! So far, at least. As Mustang and Hawkeye attacked, so did she! Stepping in front of her CO (and beside Hawkeye, although she still gave Mustang a clear "line of fire", and yes, I know that can be a pun), she raised her hands and snapped as well-suddenly, pockets of liquid seemed to form in the air in front of her! They quickly fell and splashed in puddles at her feet, but in the instant they were formed and airborne they acted like magnifying glasses-condensing/refracting light passing through them into a harmful, scalding beam for an instant!

Yes, I know that I may not be being scientifically coherent. It's FMA-style "alchemy", I think some "liberties" are allowed. XD

Alexandria City

“Oh my… I’m not sure about this…”

Rikku shook her head.

"Come on, Yunie! You can't give up now! Especially since we're so close! We are...um, right?" she asked a tad sheepishly, having forgotten why they had come, exactly.

"Look!" she said. "Just because this city looks like Auron is running it doesn't mean you can get gloomy, too! Hey! Those airships!" she said, pointing in the sky.

If they were to look up, the remnants of the Alexandrian airfleet from Treno could be seen. Their number was noticably reduced, and of those that survived, many carried signs of battle damage.

"See, Yunie! That's what you can do! You don't have to be afraid of this city!"

She seemed to not realize that reminding her cousin of the part she played in causing that battle and taking lives may not have been the best idea.

...elsewhere, a woman in a cloak made her way through the streets. She tried to keep a low profile, and not make eye contact with anyone.

She had been in and out of shops, though, and had heard what little small talk she could.

A summoner...? Beatrix thought. In Treno? And the Galdwinians have struck a blow against some of our airfleet...I suppose it was the best I could have expected from BELLEZA'S women...she's always obeyed her orders without question of conscience, but I know she hates our system...as opposed to me-I've always obeyed my orders and love the system, even now...does that make me worse after all...? And there's not a trace of MY women here, or even Steiner's bumbling crew...

Her thoughts tore at her, but she had to get to her soldier's quarters and learn what was going on.

Alleyway

Roxas sparked still, his body healing and repairing itself.

His arms started to turn black, calling on his Humonculus powers, and shot forward to take out the demon that was now attacking Kxs! It had tried to hurt Namine earlier, and Roxas wasn't going to allow it!

Outside Green Dragon Inn

“...I think we have a bigger problem...” Cess said. Demons were approaching...

“Sam, are in you in any condition to fight?” Cess wondered. He focused on his magic, creating three golems to help fight. “Shimera, what about you?”

Spork Residence

“Then we have a plan!” Spork said. “First thing's first, we can either make our way out over the surface or underground. Which do you prefer? Also...”

He paused, and glanced towards Crystal and Hammah, “Is Amestries after her too? If not, Crystal, do you think you could leave on your own with Hammah, and then meet back with us? At least, if we go the above land route.”

Streets

A horde of demons was coming towards a group of children!

And then they weren't.

Sergeant Detrius held up his crossbow, which was a modified siege weapon...He was a troll after all. Uusual weapons tended to break and be too small in his hands.

He had just fired, and was winding it up again.

“You kids better hide,” Detrius grumbled, “Head to the Palace. That's where everyone is goin'.”

-Alexandria Countryside-

Sora and Kairi came to stop by Didymus, Garnet, and the others.

“Phew...good catch their Didymus,” Sora said.

“Nice summoning!” Kairi added, to Garnet. She then frowned, looking over to the Black Waltz.

Sora turned his attention to that as well, bringing out his Keyblade, “We can't let it get away again, can we?”

Back at the wagon, Rincewind sighed, getting off and walking towards the group. The Luggage followed after him. He figured the wagon would probably get attacked or something if he was left alone with it.

[Main Road]

Colonel Mustang's attack was much, MUCH more effective than the gunfire sent towards the demonic creature by the man's aide. The bullets simply bounced off of the demon, as if striking steel and simply being deflected. The explosion, however, threw the demonic thing to the side where it was sent tumbling. The second one, having made a leap at the girl was struck full-on with a beam of concentrated light, also thrown backwards.

But then came the problem. The net thrown previously by the second, spider-like demonic thing landed on the girl's left side and covered the ground, solidifying into stone and trapping the girl's left half (and anything around her) in solid stone.

The spider demon thing stood up much quicker than its partner, flipping itself onto its legs and running up the side of a building, spraying a web outward again, trying co catch Colonel Mustang in the webs.

The other one, however, took much longer to get up. It was missing an arm, and the remains of the limb sparkled with black bolts of energy. It roared, sending another hail of metallic spikes at Mustang, Riza, Cyrena and anyone else within the cone of attack!


[Alleyway]

the demonic thing was caught in mid-leap with Roxas's attack, and was bowled right over, rolling across the ground, tangled with Roxas in grapple combat. It attemped to grab onto the boy, but Roxas was too quick and slipped out of the grapple, leaving the creature apparently helpless...

But then it disappeared again, appearing behind Roxas, going for a massive downward swing with its scythe-arms!

"DIE!!!"


[Teacher's Guild Remains]

Skin watched his opponent, before growling.

"I don't have time for this. The Earl will not be happy if the mission is delayed. You're in my way, so you'll face the consequences!"

He snapped his fingers, and more demonic figures appeared out of a purple haze behind him, throwing themselves at the raptor as Skin stepped back into the purple haze and vanished.

The demons now facing Emile were similar to each other, all of them lizard-like and obviously mechanical-looking. They were very well-armored, and all of them were hissing at the Velociraptor-wizard.

"New food to play with! Excccccellent!"

"Let'sssss eat it! Maybe sssssomeone will then call for it... And the Earl shall be hhhhappy!"

And the four creatures launched to attack the raptor!


[Cobbler's Guild]

On the other side of the city, the Cobbler's guild was quickly trying to pack up, attempting to flee to the center of the city where they would be better protected. Unfortunately, they were caught right in the middle of packing as Skin, his entire 200-something-pound mass smashed through one of the walls after a failed teleport.

"I HATE the Ark's transportation service... YOU!!!"

He picked up the nearest man, possibly the most muscular one out of the suddenly still guild members.

"Is this the Tailor's guild?"

The man, shaking, started to blabber. "N-no sir! I-i-it's across the street, sir!"

Another man came up from the side, fists clenched and advancing on Skin menacingly. The effect was severely diminished because the man was half a foot shorter than the giant in front of him.

"Hey! Let Phelan go! Who the hell are you, to just barge in he-"

He never finished speaking as Skin swung the man named Phelan around so hard that he killed both men by slapping one against the other. here was a scream as Skin began to grin.

"Let's start ANOTHER game!"

And with a massive roar, the Cobbler's Guild exploded as well, just a few blocks away from the Spork Residence...

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

Alexandrian Countryside

Allen breathed a sigh of relief, muttering a "thank god" when Garnet managed to get herself out of the creature's clutches and managed to get down to the ground safely. He couldn't see well from this distance, but he noticed that it was a girl, and a young one at that.

He sped up after that, going as fast as he could, but his help wasn't needed after all.

Now, however, the dark THING in the air was still active, still effective and looked like it was going to attack again. So without further ado, Allen stopped his rum, brought his arm-cannon up, stabilizing it with his other arm and his monocle spun, like a targeting reticule of some sort.

"CROSS PALING!"

The arm-cannon let out a concentrated mass of blasts, each shot appearing to be concentrated, physical light. Most, of course, missed, but some would doubtlessly hit the Black Waltz. And with the amount of beams the arm-cannon was letting fly, it was quite probable that at least one would impact.

Chloe heard Didymus yell, and in an instant she had her sword in her hands and she was sprinting towards the odd man in the business suit who had appeared in the purple smoke.

“You there, halt! Who are you, and what are you doing here?”

True, the man had only asked for directions… but right now things were tense, and Chloe is known to be uptight anyway.


Garnet let out a sigh of relief when she realized she had not died. She looked up, at the feathered woman and recognized her as Garuda, one of the Wind Summons. She was amazed to see her; as until now, all Garnet had ever remembered summoning was Carbuncle, a small green fox.

“Amazing…” Garnet frowned when she realized she had, again, summoned something without really meaning to. She looked over to Didymus – who was holding her in his arms. Suddenly she turned very pink and remembered her conversation with Crystal and Kairi.

“I-I… thank you for catching me, but I think I can stand on my own now…” Garnet coughed, trying not to let her blush show.


The Waltz, meanwhile, was blasted by Allen! The Waltz plummeted and crashed with a sickening thud. Now it lay, bleeding and broken, and suddenly it leaned up and screamed, throwing its head back in a massive howl. It jumped up, and suddenly flames engulfed it – but it was not burning up in death throes.

Instead, the beast started to run! For a moment, it seemed like it might simply ‘run away’.

Then, it held up one hand and sent a massive fireball at the Galdwinian rangers!

[Ankh-Morpork]

Main Street

Mustang moved quickly; as the net fell, he pushed Cyrena out of the way so that she would not be trapped in stone. By the time he looked up, he saw the Spider Demon coming at him next, spraying more of it’s foul webbing.

Mustang did not know what the web was made from, but he did know that webs tended to be flammable. Then again, with Roy around, water could become flammable. He snapped his fingers again, this time making a flamethrower-like spray of flames!

Spork Residence

Sama paused, thinking about their choices. Going underground was probably the safest bet… but then; they had escaped from Amestris via the underground once already. Had Amestris learned from that mistake?

“Is Amestries after her too? If not, Crystal, do you think you could leave on your own with Hammah, and then meet back with us? At least, if we go the above land route.”

Sama rubbed his neck. “That’s a good question… I have no idea, but Amestris’ soldiers did see us together in Central… I don’t think you should risk it, Crystal.”

If they DID know who she was, and she was captured, Sama would feel horrible… then again, she wasn’t exactly safe hanging out with the guy they were hunting either.

Being a fugitive is complicated.

[Alexandria City]

"See, Yunie! That's what you can do! You don't have to be afraid of this city!"

Yuna gasped, and then quickly made a ‘shhh’ sound for Rikku. Auron was less subtle, clapping an enormous gloved hand over her mouth.

“It’s best if we don’t point out who did what to the Airships.” Auron mumbled, and then removed his hand. He liked Rikku, she was passionate about protecting her cousin… but that girl had a mouth on her.

Cid, meanwhile, just whistled, looking up at Alexandria’s airships. “Wouldn’t mind taking a look in their garage…”


Suddenly, a great horn blew. The gates opened, and a jeep from Amestris drove in. In the back seat of that jeep was none other than Queen Brahne, who was being given a lift back to her castle (since last we saw her, she was in Central).

In the seat next to her was a woman in a black dress… (No not Kanna or Lust, geez).

When the Waltz went down, Allen went running again. He didn't know if the enemy has been taken care of or not, but years of spending time with his master and then service in the Dark Order have taught him not to take any chances. He might be only 16 years old, but he sure as heaven knew what he was doing.

When the Waltz stood again, Allen knew he made the right choice by moving. As the black thing began to howl and set itself on fire. Allen quickly tried to make his way to the other people as the Black Waltz seemed to want to retreat... But then it threw a fireball, and Allen was right there to intercept it.

The cannon turned into a massive, bulky claw made of hundreds of armored plates, and Allen brought it around much like one would swing a bat, simply batting the fireball to the side and skidding to a stop between the Black Walts and the rest of the group.

He turned his head, non-monocled eye looking back for just a second.

"Is everyone alright?"

Then he quickly turned back to face the enemy again, claw up like some sort of shield, the metal plates smoking and emitting a heat haze.

[---]

The gentleman in the top hat brought his hands up in a placating gesture as he was threatened by a girl.

"Whoa, wait! I am not here to harm you! I simply lost my way and came out in the wrong place, so I stopped by to ask for directions. I apologize if it is such an inconvenience."

As he spoke, his eyes watched the Black Waltz carry off the girl. She looked... Familiar. She may have even been the person on his card. But getting his card out right now would be a bad idea, especially with so many Paladins around.

As Allen appeared on the field of battle, the man's eyes widened just a little as he watched. He adopted a ore surprised expression as he warred internally with his Noah, a side that wanted to go out there right NOW and KILL the Exorcist that he was seeing.

Luckily, he was strong enough to suppress it.

"... Hey! It's that card-shark boy!"

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

Ankh-Morpork

[Main Road]

Fortunately for the demon, the webs were not flammable. They did, however, turn to stone immediately when flames touched them. So the demonic thing only just managed to break itself away before it took any sort of damage.

It was too much to hope for though as the demon escaped its own trap only to fall right into the flames. It seemed to scream before twisting out of the way, smoking but still moving, having just taken an attack most humans couldn't hope to deal with, and most alchemists had trouble with.

The spider thing then jumped to a wall again and started to spew webbing, running around the entire group traveling down the main road, evading blasts and spewing web straight down to surround the group. What it was trying to achieve was unknown, but it had SOMETHING planned.

In the meanwhile, the other demon continued its attack on the Sunshine Alchemist, shooting more and more spiky metallic bits at her!

Although he had noticed her fluster, Didymus had set Garnet down, and ran forth to face the Waltz, keeping himself between it and Garnet...he had to be between the attacker and her, ready to block an attack or rush again to her side and fend it off...her survival, he theorized, was more important than that of, well, most anyone else there, his own, the Rangers', Chloe's, and the rest...

He was glad that Allen appeared to cover the Rangers (although for their part, the Rangers were already dispersed and/or covered-they were not idiots when it came to combat proceedures).

Still, he recognized what Allen was doing.

"Hmm..."

Still, he was being told things...taints, even. In multiple individuals around him...even Allen?

"Most intriguing..." he said. "...please keep leading me, Lord..."

He faced the Waltz, and stood ready, watching it, well, burn. Perhaps his own intervention would not be necessary.

"Stay behind me, Dagger!" he called.

The Rangers were unscathed in the aftermath, but now turned their attention towards the new arrival-someone who arrived in a cloud of purple mist usually wasn't a friend, and when a Paladin started getting tense around them...it usually wasn't a good sign.

Ankh-Morpork

Cyrena was pushed out of the way by Mustang, and, sighed (on the inside at least) dreamily...

...but she was still under attack! She dodged between the bits of metal, in an admittedly rymthic and graceful pattern...almost like dancing, as she snapped and "fired" more rays at her assailant!

She at least could handle herself on the battlefield.

"VILE CREATURE! CAN YOU FEEL THE SUNSHINE?!" she cried.


...she clearly had a few...eccentricities.

Alexandria City

"Mmph! Mmmmmmmph!" Rikku protested as she was muzzled.

However, when pointed out her error, she turned red.

"Sorry!" she said, quickly, and was actually QUIET...for a few moments. The horns attracted her attention, and she looked...

"Hey! They look important! Like a queen...and...uh, SHE looks evil..."

She didn't yell this out, though. Just spoke it.

Meanwhile, Beatrix had noticed the arrival.

The queen? She's alive after all...but who is that with her...? And...did I hear something about the air fleet...?
she pondered.

Spork Residence

“Then we should probably go underground,” Spork said. Suddenly, there was a large explosion, from the Cobbler's guild, and the house shook!

“Oh no...” Spork said, looking worried. He darted up the stairs, and into the light, looking outside...Chaos.

He quickly shut the door, bounding back down.

“Something really bad is happening! I'm not sure what, but it I think Amestries is in the city and attacking Ankh-Morpork!” Spork yelled.

Hammah shook, growing fearful and clutching Crystal's leg tightly...

Teacher's Guild Ruins

One raptor wizard against four demon things? Hmmm...

Emile took a step back, hissing at the creatures, when octarine light glowed around one, where it then collapsed on itself.

“Honestly, couldn't this have waited until after breakfast?” Archancellor Ridicully muttered, holding up his staff, having cast the spell. Behind him were several other wizards, also holding their staffs. A few looked fearful. One, the Bursar, had socks over his hands for some reason.

“...Merci beacoup, mes amis!” Emile called to the wizards.

“Not a problem. We wizards have to stick together, after all!” Ridicully said, and brandished his staff at one of the three remaining creatures, “And you...I don't like my breakfast getting interrupted...”

Alleyway

Roxas moved, but was not fast enough. The scythe came down, slicing his left arm off!

The Keyblade in that arm vanished in a flash of light, and Roxas spun, slashing the creature with the black Keyblade in his right arm, attempting to slice it in half!

His arm began to regrow as well, red light sparking and doing so...

-Alexandria Countryside-

Sora held up his Keyblade, Kairi standing a few feet behind him, preparing some defensive spells.

“We won't let it get away this time!” Sora yelled, then dashed forward at the Black Waltz, attempting to slash it with his blade!

GRAPPLING HOOK!

-Ankh-Morpork-

Crystal became worried when the tone in Spork's voice became even more urgent. The girl paled a bit, but tried to stay calm. She picked up Hammah and offered him a forced smile.

"It's okay, don't worry. They aren't gonna get in here-"

Okay....Well they weren't going to get in here right away. It was obvious they couldn't stay.

Crystal frowned and weighed their options. For now it looked as if they had to put up some sort of fight...It would be near impossible to escape without detection. She decided she would take her chances and try to get out with Hammah...She knew the boys would follow closely behind.

"I'll take care of Hammah, don't worry" Crystal said to Spork, once again trying to offer a slight smile to lighten the worry in the room. "We can wait on the outskirts of town where it's safe."

She then looked to Hammah once more. The poor boy looked absolutely frightened.

"We're gonna take a little trip okay?" She put the boy down for a moment and looked at Spork and Sama. "Both of you be safe and don't take any unnecessary risks or make any rash decisions. Think with your heads" she then pointed to Sama "Especially you"

The house was still shaking. Their minutes were numbered. Crystal frowned and gave her friend a hug. "If you die i'm going to kick you in the kidneys" she told him, before rushing back over to Hammah. She picked the boy up, offered a short wave, and rushed off.

She was sure there were soldiers out there. But she was a waterbender. And one of the best if I do say so myself.

Central: Ansem's House-

Melanie finished her food, already looking brighter and full of life. Too bad she would screw that all over by cutting her arm open and draining her blood.

Yeah. That idea was getting creepier and creepier for her too. While she had no problem with the idea of blood, she was not one to tolerate pain.

But she would do it for her papa...Kanna was going to be so happy.

"No no, i'm fine! This is more than enough! Thank you" She said offering him a smile and handing him the plate back. After she did so she found herself looking at her arm....She quickly gave it a hard pinch.

"Ouch" she muttered. Galv probably felt it as well. She would have to remember that.

KxS let out a growl as she slashed at the demon's back with her wolf claws. She had let the muscles in her arms grow as well to make the slash stronger. Although, it caused her arms to become slightly hairy.

She didn't revert them until she felt she needed to.


Outside the Green Dragon Inn

(I'm gonna be RPing Sam until Halberd gets back from Florida.)

Shimera took a stance, her hands glowing with solar energy. "I'll fight!"

Sam sighed, but his face took a serious look. He grabbed his Pata, though is stung in his hand, and got ready to strike. He winced more as his own weapon kept burning his hand. He was starting to think that by the time the battle was over, he wouldn't be able to use his hand.

The Black Waltz, still aflame, gave a tremendous howl. It was hard to tell if the beast was showing fury over Allen’s having stopped his attack, or if it was pain from the flames eating away at its body.

Sora then slashed at it, and the creature shrieked in pain from the Keyblade.

“WHYwhyWhYwHyWHHhhhhhhhhhhyYYY!?” The Black Waltz’ voice seemed to quiver between a high and a low. The monster stumbled, and fell on one knee. Them it seemed to shake and the flames dancing on its flesh turned black, and then slowly sucked back into his skin, becoming extinguished. When the last flame was out, the Waltz stood up.

“Bring… Garnet… find… Princess… kill… Princess… kill… everyone… orders…” The Waltz was sputtering, and suddenly it was struck by a bolt of lightning!

Vivi had stopped cowering in the wagon and run forward. The tiny mage looked up at the Waltz, and although he was afraid, he did not let that fear hold him back.

“TRAITORotiarT!” The Waltz roared, pointing a finger at Vivi. It let loose another sickening roar, and started to run away from the group.

To cover its escape, it cast one final bit of magic: a blizzard spell! The ground was frozen and shards of ice started to rain down at the group.




Chloe narrowed her eyes, and kept a firm grip on her sword. She found it quite odd that a man would ‘ask for directions’ from a group of soldiers engaging in combat with a giant demonic monster.

“Now isn’t the best time to ask for directions,” Chloe said through gritted teeth. “You should take cover, now! This is a very dangerous situation! Perhaps we can help you once this foul beast has been vanquished!”

[Ankh-Morpork]

Hawkeye was in a bad place right now. She hated these kinds of battle. When the thing trying to kill them was a normal human being, she could easily and quickly put an end to it with her bullets.

When it was this… monster… it was much harder to do. Then again, Hawkeye was used to fighting alchemist who could twist the laws of nature to their whim, and she had developed a few tricks. She put her handguns away, and drew her ‘desperate measures’ gun from behind her coat.

It was a .50 caliber desert eagle, capable of punching through most substances with relative ease and causing heads to resemble smashed watermelons. A dangerous weapon, Riza’s was… special. The bullets were treated alchemically, and exploded on impact.

Riza was given special treatment from the Military, and treated to these expensive and time-consuming-to-create bullets because she had a reputation for taking down ‘odd supernatural enemies’ like the Avatar.

She took aim, and fired again – this time at the monster spitting the metal spikes at everyone. She was NOT going to let Colonel Mustang down. Not now, and not ever.


Mustang, for his part, watched the spider-monster running around and spitting that stone webbing everywhere. His eyes grew dark, and he was concerned that this monster had some nefarious scheme.

‘What the hell is going on? I came here looking for the Avatar… could HE be behind this? No… if that kid had minions like this, he could have used them in Central… could this be connected to whatever that monster Bradley is?”

Spork Residence[/I]

Sama nodded to Crystal as his friend gave him a hug, and then threatening to kick his kidneys if he died. Only a real friend can threaten and hug you at the same time. He nodded, and watched her run off with the child in her arms.

Then he closed his eyes for a moment and concentrated. The wind blew around his feet for a moment, and then he opened them again.

“Okay! This is going to be dangerous… but we’ve got to go for it!”

[Alexandria City]

Auron merely gave a grunt in response to Rikku. He turned to look to Yuna, but Yuna was staring at Brahne, and the woman in black.

“… That woman… come, let us follow them.”

Yes, Yuna was suggesting they go running off after the Queen of Alexandria, why do you ask?

Didymus saw what was occuring, and as he turned, he sprinted back towards Garnet, praying...his sword began to glow, and a light shined forth...when he was right in front of Garnet, he whirled around and stabbed his sword into the ground, and a golden barrier formed in front of and above them, shielding them from the shards!

Again, he had to stay focused. Garnet's safety was of paramount importance...


Ankh-Morpork

Cyrena kept up the pressure. She was surprised that Mustang was just standing there...

"Don't give up, sir!" she called.

...yeah. As if she had any idea what was going on in his head. XD

Alexandria City

“… That woman… come, let us follow them.”

"Hmm? Oh...okay!" Rikku said, walking off after the car.

However, Beatrix, down the road, noticed something.

Those three...they look foregin...that one has an elaborate staff...could it be...?! And now they're following the queen?

Her priorities suddenly shifted.

She tried, somehow, to stealthily tail them. This may have been difficult when she was one of the few non-black mages around...but she tried.

Meanwhile, Belleza was "docking" her airship and preparing to go "aground"...

Allen watched the combat proceed, making sure to catch any stray fire from the Waltz as it began to spaz, but it looked very close to being destroyed, surprisingly. They were a large group, and the Waltz was on his own, so the dark creature was completely outnumbered and outgunned. And it also failed its mission...

But it decided to run, covering its escape with a spell. Allen's arm came up again, and he jumped towards the attack, aiming to take as much into his armored arm as he could.

The men and women behind him were far from stupid. But Allen didn't do this because he thought they were dumb enough to stay clustered or anything of the sort. Allen was a kind soul, and he hated seeing anyone hurt, no matter what the circumstance. Even seeing an enemy hurt more often than not touched his heart.

Even the Waltz, twisted as it was by darkness, deserved the light in the end. And Allen would make sure it would be destroyed and purified, so whatever essence it contained, whatever intelligence remained, could rest easy.

So Allen often took it upon himself to bear the brunt of as much of an enemy's attacks as he could. This case was no different, as his arm absorbed almost a third of the hail of ice that the Black Walts attempted to use, taking most of them into the armored arm, and a few of them directly to himself, though he brushed them off with surprising ease.

As the creature ran, Allen's arm switched to the cannon, but the Waltz was too quick and got away, getting out of firing range too quickly for Allen to follow. The arm slowly shifted back to normal (surprisingly, the sleeve of the robe and the glove he wore intact, though the arm itself now bore some small scratches that would heal over the next few minutes from the ice shards), and he put both hands up, clasping them together and giving a small prayer to the Waltz that got away before turning to the group.

"Is everyone all right? I'm sorry I couldn't be here earlier, but I got lost in the countryside, and Tim was of no help."

The tiny golem that was hiding in the boy's hood flew up and landed on Allen's head, folding its wings, but not before giving Allen a light tap on the back of the head with its tail, showing that it didn't really appreciate that comment.

[---]

The man shrugged helplessly.

"Well, from what I have seen, you lads and ladies had this situation fully under control, and I for one did not interrupt on purpose. My way of transportation is... A bit inaccurate, so I sometimes lose my direction. My apologies if this has been in any way trouble."

The man bowed gracefully, before straightening and rubbing the back of his head, one eye closed, before taking a pull on the cigarette in his mouth and letting the smoke out to the side, looking around with an openly puzzled expression. He looked quite genuine.

"So, could you possibly point me in the right direction, milady? I can assure you that I would be no trouble, and I simply wish to know where to go next. A beautiful woman like yourself MUST be quite intelligent and knowledgeable, so you would be a good person to ask. Would you care to point a traveler in the right direction?"

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

Ankh-Morpork

The monstrosity shooting spikes was hit from two fronts, one side attacking him with concentrated light beams (Laser!), while getting hit with a massive, explosive bullet from Riza that it was not expecting. The monstrosity fell to the side, overwhelmed by the attack, and looked like it was truly defeated...

Except it started to dissolve, the outer armor disappearing and leaving a pulsing purple core that detonated like a massive bomb right there and then. But this was no simple bomb. Upon detonating, it spread a darkness through the air, a vile, viral mist that would infect anyone that breathed. Anyone that breathed it in was immediately covered in black pentacles, like some sort of rash, before dissolving into toxic dust!

The other monster used the bomb and the confusion it caused to finish the ring of webbing, and grinned, the webs turning to stone... And suddenly, the ground within the circle of the stone web gained the consistency of tree sap, sticking to everything that was there, capturing anyone who stood on the ground.

The demonic thing laughed as it began to spew more webbing!

[Alleyway]

Again the monster was struck aside, small bits of armor flying off, but nothing more concrete. The monster was then attacked from behind by a massive shifted claw from another girl that it ignored completely, and was slammed downward...

But, yet again, its armor remained unbroken. It turned about, glaring at the girl that just attacked him and again faded away, appearing on the girl's right side and lashing out with an arm-scythe, trying to gouge a line in her side. At the same time, it gathered a ball of purple energy, turned and fired at Namine!

"You will all be destroyed! ALL OF YOU! I WILL KILL YOU ALL!!!"

[Teacher's Guild Remains]

The one monster that was forced to collapse in upon itself was compressed, and then detonated like a massive bomb, spreading a dark mist through the air. The others, however, used the explosion as a launching pad, throwing themselves at the new enemies that appeared. One of the lizards, the bigger one, went for Ridicully, throwing its full weight into a shield charge, maw salivating.

The second one attacked Emile, lizard on lizard, maw open and venomous spittle bearing the same virus that was now in the air.

The third backed away and inhaled, letting out a gout of flame at the wizard with socks on his hands!

I can't see what you're imagining
-Ankh-Morpork-

Spork Residence

“Thank you,” Spork told Crystal, then patted Hammah on the head, “You be good, alright? If Crystal here tells you to do something, you do it.”

Hammah nodded, and Spork turned to Sama, and gripped the handle of his sword.

“Let's do it then,” he said, and unsheathed the weapon. It shone in the light, refracting it...

A blade made from the hardest substance known, a crystalline form, which the Bender could control with his powers. Make it sharp, dull, longer, shorter, provided it didn't go past the amount he had.

It was a sword made from diamonds...

Alleyway

Namine focused, a shield of light energy protecting her from the monster's attack.

Xehanort sighed, standing back and watching. He could handle this creature easily, but he wanted to see how these new...hires...would do.

Roxas snarled, after the monster attacked Namine again. He leaped forward, light glowing from his Keyblades, slashing repeatedly at the monster with white hot attacks of the magical weapons! He was a maelstrom of Keyblade, light, and Humonculi...

Teacher Guild Ruins

Ridicully sighed, holding up his staff. A ball of fire erupted from it, shooting at the creature that was attacking him! It was a large one too, and very hot.


The wizard with socks over his hands was the Bursar, who was never entirely all there in the best of times. When the creature attacked him, he yelled, pointed his staff...and turned the creature into a bunny rabbit...


Emile, meanwhile, moved to the side, barely avoiding the poisonous bite. His claws glowed with magic, and he slashed for a counter attack!

Alleyway

“Alright then,” Cess nodded. He was worried about Shimera, and Sam as well...Though mostly Shimera, truth be told.

Cess concentrated on his own magic, his golems proceeding forward to fight the monsters!

-Alexandria Countryside-

“Reflect!” Sora yelled, protecting himself from the ice attack, magic around him. When the spell died down, he leaped into the air, joining Allen. He didn't know who this other kid was, but he was a friend if he was helping in Sora's book.

His Keyblade glowed!

“Ars Arcanum!” Sora yelled, slashing wildly at the Black Waltz!

-Central: Ansem's House-

“Ow...” Galv muttered, when Melanie pinched her skin. The red headed boy sighed, watching as Melanie seemed to be deliberating and waiting on bleeding. Not that he blamed her.

“Errr...Look...Melanie...Are you sure you really have to do this? I mean...Well...this seems really dangerous as it is. And you'll be stuck in the house all day resting...Maybe we could...go for another walk or something before you try that? So you can get some fresh air...” Galv offered, trying to delay the event.

KxS dodged the demon's attacks. One thing she knew about fighting: it's always best to try not to get hit during battle.

She then grew claws on her feet and hung from a brick wall, being able to do so because she was barefoot in the first place, and jumped on the demon's head. She immediately sprang from there to the other brick wall, waiting for another opportunity to jump.


Outside the Green Dragon Inn

Shimera waited for the demons to attack before her. Because of her nature, she never sought to attack first.

Sam wanted to strike first, but he thought because the other two were waiting, he should as well.

The Crazy One

[Alexandrian Countryside]

The Black Waltz was still attempting to escape. By now, the beast had been shot, slashed and it had burnt itself – and that does not include the injuries it received in Ankh-Morpork!

The monster was becoming weak, and losing its grasp on reality. The Waltz needed to escape, but when Sora attacked it, the beast groaned and stumbled and collapsed onto the ground.

The Black Waltz slowly and shakily climbed up to its knees, and glared at Sora and the others. The monster wanted to escape, but that seemed impossible.

“… QUAKE!”

The Waltz bellowed, and suddenly it launched a powerful wave from its body. The ground began to shake and quake, and large chunks of it ripped up. Anyone around the monster would have a difficult time standing.

As the ground shook, the Waltz stood. It started to run – and then seemed to vanish!

[…]

Chloe still felt… uncomfortable around this man. There was something off about him, and she felt like she NEEDED to be careful around him. She hesitated and slowly took a step back.

“… Make it quick, sir. I will give you directions if I can, but I am in a hurry myself and do not have time to be a travel guide.”

Chloe may have come across as quite rude, but she WAS on a mission to save the world.

[Ankh-Morpork]

Main Street

Mustang swore loudly as a strange purple cloud erupted from the fallen monster. He did not know what the odd gas was, but he did not want to breath that stuff in.

So he did what he usually did – he snapped his fingers (on both hands) and sent a massive wall of flames towards the gas. He did not know if it would burn, but if it did, he would rather see it burn up quickly than spread to the townspeople!

The second monster was now using a strange type of tree sap to trap them, and Riza gasped as her foot was caught by some of it! She aimed her pistol with the explosive rounds and fired at the second monster, but she was now in a bad spot.

Spork Residence

Sama paused briefly, and looked over to Crystal.

“… Be careful, okay? I… I, uh… I’ll see you later.”

Sama sighed, chickening out as usual. He looked over as Spork revealed a diamond sword, and as with most people when showed a diamond sword, his jaw dropped.

“Whoa… that’s pretty cool.” He paused; Sama really liked swords, although he wasn’t very good with them. Still, now was no time to gush over a cool weapon; they had an army to distract!

[Alexandria City]

Yuna and Co followed behind Queen Brahne, and behind them followed Beatrix. It was quite the little convoy of sneaking happening in Alexandria, and on a day when no one else (aside from Black Mages) was out on the streets.

Luckily, Auron was very good at sneaking around. With his help, the group was able to sneak and follow Brahne… up until the castle gates.

“… I don’t think we can go any further.” Auron admitted. “… Well, we COULD… but we may draw attention.”

Yuna bit her lip… but then she looked up at the Castle, and shook her head.

“A magnificent stone castle with a sword in the middle… this is the place I saw in my visions, Sir Auron. This is where I was supposed to go.”

If Beatrix followed them, she may have overheard some of this.
