Black Mages

[kursetheseeds]

A sea of pointy hats waited on the plains, motionless for the moment. The creations had no souls, were too young to have found their awakening - perfect machines of war.

When the first signs of opposition showed on the horizon, all the automatons raised their hands in sync with each other, spells starting to glow around their fingers.

ooc; this is the free-for-all thread. Fight and demolish NPCs to your heart's content and thread with each other here. They will need to be demolished before getting to Ulti, but obviously not every fight has to be played out.

Wishing they had access to someone with a Silence spell, Rydia nonetheless approached the mages, ready to fight. She wasn't about to let more death and destruction happen, not if she could at all prevent it. But given the crowd, the summoner knew she had to pace herself. She couldn't be throwing as much magic around as she wanted to, knowing there was a worse fight ahead.

So, having used one rod to cast Protect and Shell on those nearest and dearest, Rydia then withdrew another. She would summon if she must, but the Stardust Rod would be handy until then. Raising it, she brought forth Comet, the bright missiles slamming into the nearest targets.

Edge looked carefully across the battlefield, choosing his targets based upon his belief in their strength. Aiming for the back row of mages, he let loose a volley of shurikens that ripped through their ranks.

The combined effect of magic and steel brought down quite a few of their targets, though the rest were now just activating the spells being cast. "Edge, watch out!" Rydia spoke just in time to duck, as a Fira spell was launched in their direction.

Ultimecia

[kursetheseeds]

Ultimecia waited at the back of the crowd, a smile curving her lips as she watched the would-be heroes come. They would come - and they would fall. No one could stand against the mistress of time, the Sorceress of the ages - she possessed powers they could only dream of in their wildest imaginings.

"So you have kome to try and defeat me - insolent fools. SeeD, their pathetik friends and their pathetik hope, you may all go to hell!"

Without waiting for any other declarations, nor for anyone to attack, the Sorceress held up her hands and cast Quake. The ground shook and buckled, jumping and falling, sending the entire area around where she was standing into convulsions and turning the entire battlefield into a danger zone.

ooc; And this is the Ulti-fight. Looks like there's going to be too many people for me to give every last one of them specific attention and responses, so if you've got something particular in mind for your character (heavy injury, getting KO'd and dragged out by friends), go ahead and do it whenever it seems like

(As usual, Terra had cast Protect, Haste, Regen and Shell on anyone interested just before the battle.)

Terra yelped as the effects of the Quake spell reached her, losing her balance and tumbling to the ground. Ultimecia's attack threw her mentally as well as physically, since Terra couldn't remember her ever having that spell as one of Chaos' warriors. With a sinking feeling, the young woman realized that she wasn't as prepared for this fight as she had thought.

Leaping into the air the moment she got a chance, Terra then transformed. This was no time to feel self-conscious and she knew she had to attack before Celes (sensibly) activated Runic. Concentrating, she then cast Dispel and Holy, sending three balls of light twice in quick succession.

The Quake had startled Cloud almost as much as Terra. Ultimecia hadn't had this ability in the Void! Dragging himself to his feet, he ran drawing First Tsurugi to take swings for Ultimecia, thankful that everyone had managed to get through the Black Mages, though he had a rather unpleasant scorch mark over his left arm.

Seeing Terra transform, Cloud smirked faintly, watching her magic and dodging it to keep himself from being hit by it too, or by the attacks of anyone else. They were just going to have to bring her down with the force of everyone.

Quake was unfortunately one of the few spells Runic didn't absorb, so Celes was forced to deal with the consequences of that spell. She'd made sure to give as many people as possible a briefing on her special ability before they went in. Magic absorption. It meant any spell cast at her while the ability was active would be absorbed, healing or damaging. It didn't matter. As long as they gave her enough time before casting healing spells to be sure Runic wouldn't be active at the wrong time, she didn't care keeping an eye on it.

She'd already been hurt a little by the mages, though she'd had a field day showing them why it was important not to mess with a Magitek Knight. And now she was aiming for the Sorceress herself, trying to get around to the side opposite Cloud if possible. If they could force Ultimecia to split her attention, all the better.

"There is no try!" she yelled at the idiot woman. "We will bring you down!"

ooc!!!

Hey guys! Selphie is here but she'll be dipping and darting through those black mages. Anybody in those threads is free to notice her but I'm handwaving this. x.x;;
