Darken: "OK, so where's this cave guys?" * Zigfried stays beside Nina. Callie: "Feh." Ebony: "Stupid army surrendered..." Zigfried: "No kidding." --Bystanders can be heard nearby discussing the situation.-- Ebony: "Haven't they ever heard of fighting 'til the end?!" Scott: "Let's get going... I'll see if anyone's set up a resistance front." Dalton Citizen 1: "I hope they didn't get the Dragonstarship... That thing could be deadly in the Neo's hands..." Callie: "I suppose not..." Darken: "Cowards." Zigfried: "Comfort for the masses I guess." Ebony: "You know Scott... I think we ARE the resistance front." Darken: "The whole stinking army are cowards." Dalton Citizen 2: "No kidding... That's the most powerful weapon ever built. I heard they even got members of the Magic Guild to design magical devices to help defend it." Zigfried: "Don't condemn them, Darken. I think I can understand why." Scott: "Well, my contacts will be looking for anyone brave enough to fight and help us." --The citizens walk off and carry on with their usual business.-- Scott: "But with the destruction in Dragon City... I wonder what happened to Rio... She never got back with me." Teal: "Who's Rio?" Callie: "Rio?" Scott: "A contact of mine." Scott: "An old friend." Scott: "Let's get going." * Scott heads out of Dalton. Teal: "Right. I think they said the cave was somewhere north of here." Darken: "Yeah." Zigfried: "Sure." * Darken follows Scott Scott: "Then let's head due north." * Ebony alights on Zig's head and sighs * Callie heads on right beside Scott. "Off we go!" * Scott checks his compass. Scott: "We're on the right track." Callie: "I didn't know you had a compass!" Darken: "North Scott?" Scott: "First rule of traveling by foot... Always carry a compass." * Nina looks at Zig, sighs --The great Salyan Desert lies before the party for the first time. To the north lies the Dragon's Eye Cave, the northeast lies the Forest of Illusion and the Star Tower, and to the east lies Larpa, the Larpan Spaceport, and the ruins of Rashana.-- Darken: "I look at the stars." Scott: "Let's get to the Dragon's eye cave... Let's GO!" Teal: "Damn, it's been almost two thousand years since I've been here last..." * Scott heads toward the Dragon's Eye Cave. Darken: "OK Scott." * Nina walks along quietly Darken: "Gee Teal you don't look two thousand." Ebony: "And how old do I look? Hmmm?" Teal: "Thanks, I guess..." * Teal blushes a little Darken: "Eight years." Callie: "Eight years? I wouldn't say that..." * Scott looks at Teal... "Hmmmm. Darken's right... You really don't look 2000 years old." Teal: "Well... You know how well we Dragons age, tee hee..." Scott: "Hehehe." Ebony: "Quit hitting on my d... Niece!" * Scott finally starts to laugh, when not fighting. Darken: "Hmm the cave looks quiet... Too quiet." * Scott heads to the cave. * Darken lemmings --The desert sands swirl in the hot winds as the sun beats down on the party of adventurers.-- Zigfried: "I hate the desert..." --The sand several hundred feet ahead of the party begins to ripple unnaturally.-- * Scott grabs a poncho and puts it over his shoulders... Darken: "Uh-oh." --Several creatures begin to emerge from underneath the sand!-- Nina: "Look... The sand is rippling unnaturally." * Scott draws his sword... To be ready for anything. * Zigfried hates the stupid hood Teal gave him too, but at least it keeps the sun out. Callie: "I don't either, Zig. I burn way too easily." ===COMBAT!=== Zigfried: "It's just too dry and hot!" Ebony: "Beasties!" * Zigfried readies his claws! * Ebony flies up out of beastie range Darken: "Time to rock'n'roll." * Scott assumes a new fighting stance... Rudger. Callie: "Oh what fun!" Ebony: "I suppose you all are wondering what these are?" Scott: "Let's kick some ass!" Ebony: "Well anyone can see they are three Scorpions in front, three Sand Sharks in back." * Nina stands in her OWN stance... Not ripping off anyone... Originality Darken: "Eb what are they?" Ebony: "I already told you" Scott: "Sand Sharks and Scorpions." Darken: "Oh." Ebony: "Pay attention! Everything that comes from my mouth is a gem of wisdom!" Ebony: "Except for the acid." Scott: "Right, Ebony..." * Callie snickers. * Nina smirks a little at Ebony * Scott smirks a little. Zigfried: "Yeah, I DON'T think we want to get hit by your acid." Callie: "Are you sure you want to get hit with his wisdom, either? ;)" Scott: "Too true, Callie." Darken: "Ummm... OK Eb." Ebony: "I feel I am being insulted..." Callie: "Hehehe... Sorry, Ebony. I couldn't resist." * Scott couldn't either... "Sorry, Ebony." * Nina holds her whip in front of her in a defensive position * Darken whispers to Scott. "Smart huh? Looks dumb to me." * Zigfried stands in the back row, ready to cast a spell. Ebony: "Who's dumb?!" Darken: "Uh... No one." * Scott turns to Darken. "That's the Black Dragon for crying out loud." Callie: "Watch out. Us animal-eared creatures can hear things. ;)" Ebony: "I like your ears." Darken: "Yeah Callie, I like 'em." Ebony: "I said it first!" * Callie smirks and blushes slightly. Ebony: "Hmph." Callie: "Thank you, Ebony. And Darken." * Zigfried tries mollifying Ebony. Nina: "Is now REALLY the time to be discussing peoples' ears?" * Scott pats Callie on the back...

Darken: "Heheh, good one Eb." * Callie continues to follow nearby Scott. * Darken follows Ky --The tunnel darkens so much ahead that you cannot see what lies before you.-- Zigfried: "I spent quite a few years taking singing lessons while I was junior high and high school. It helped a lot." Scott: "Hmmmm... Anyone got a flashlight?" Ebony: "Too bad you guys can't see in the dark." * Zigfried mutters something under his breath. Scott: "How about Nightvision. That would work too." * Nina holds up her hand, a ball of light appears in it. "How's this?" * Zigfried's eyes glow for a moment. Darken: "Good Nina." Callie: "Hm!

I hear something..." --Emerging from the dark is another pack of wee beasties :)-- Callie: "Ahh.... %^@!@#&$%^#@" ===COMBAT!=== Darken: "Callie watch your mouth." Nina: "...How am I supposed to provide light while fighting?" * Scott sniffs the air... "MONSTERS. Let's kick their asses." Zigfried: "Great..." Nina: "Let's try this." --The beasties run away...-- Darken: "Strange." * Zigfried blinks. Scott: "Weird." Nina: "...That was easy..." Zigfried: "That was interesting." Callie: "Hmm..." Scott: "Hmmmm... Too easy." --The tunnel continues on, still dark.-- Nina: "Maybe they are afraid of the light?" * Scott presses on forward. * Callie looks behind her to see if they ran from another thing. * Darken leads the way * Zigfried continues a little ahead of the party where his sight might be of more use. * Darken runs into a wall Darken: "Ouch!" * Scott follows Zig.

Darken: "I'll take the Gales" Scott: "Air monsters? ~Kyoko let's try a combo next round with our elemental spells." * Ebony flies up off Zig's shoulder and turns to face the bad guys Scott: "I'll help, Darken." Callie: "Zig has a point... If we take out the light monsters we may not see the Gila ones." Zigfried: "I never said anything about not taking out the gale monsters!"

Callie: "MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA" * Zigfried raises the Kazeno Ring and it glows in a bluish light as the wind picks up, swirling around him before he sends it to charge at the Gila Monster! Scott's water magic, Zig's wind magic, and ~Kyoko's thunder magic combine to form a violent squall that pounds Gila Monster A! Gila Monster A has critical weakness to water magic. 294 damage.

Nina: "thank you." * Zigfried lifts his claws and flies above the group. Scott: "I guess not." Zigfried: "No thanks, Scott. I'm gonna use my claws this time."

YOU DIE GALES!" * Scott wants to Storm Front again. Gale Elemental C suffers 124 damage! Scott: "Hmmmm... Quite a set of pipes there, Kyoko." Callie: "MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!! This battle's turning in our favor!! =D" * Callie grins psychotically. Darken: "It has been in our favor Callie." Gale Elemental B attacks Callie! Callie: "...Oh feh..." Darken: "Watch out Callie." Callie suffers 16 damage. Callie: "Ruin my fun, why doncia." Scott: "Look out, Cals!" Ebony: "Scott's a combo psycho." Gale Elemental C attacks Callie! The attack misses... * Callie makes the anime sappy face! ;b Darken casts Dark Beam on Gale Elemental B! Gale Elemental B is rocked for 78 damage and destroyed! ===ROUND 4=== * Callie continues to cackle. * Callie grins at the single scared Gale. ;) * Gale Elemental C is frightened for his life, but is too dumb to run away Callie: "*GRiN*" * Scott gets a psycho look in his eyes.

I think Darken needs a heal." ~Kyoko casts Recovery Litany on Darken! All HP restored! Darken: "Thank you Ky." Darken: "Your magic never ceases to amaze me." Scott: "Really? Why's that, Darken?" All gain 55 XP. 540 S and 180 MXP gained Callie: "Hmm... Magic rather worries me at times... But not enough for me not to be amazed. ;)" Darken: "Well she was always better at healing magic than I was." Nina: "Kyoko? If it's not too much trouble... Can you fill my HPs?" --The path seems perfectly straight and narrow towards the end.-- * Scott continues forward. ~Kyoko casts Recovery Litany on Nina! All HP restored! * Darken goes ahead deeper into the cave * Callie continues with Scott.....as usual. =b "Feh." Nina: "Thank you... First time I've ever been nearly killed by a tongue." Callie: "Hahahaha! I'm sure..." Scott casts Recovery Litany on himself! 53 HP recovered! Ebony: "I shall refrain from comment!" * Zigfried stays in the lead, keeping a watch on the darkness. Scott: "No kidding, Nina... I've never seen you beaten so badly." * Nina reaches up, gathers her ball of light back Callie: "And we'll hope the last, Nina. ;)" --A statue of some sort of dragon's head can be seen faintly in the distance.-- Ebony: "Hey, I see it... I think." Callie: "It's so faintly in the distance." * Scott looks ahead... "What do you see Zig?" * Darken heads towards the statue * Scott heads forward to the statue. Zigfried; "Nothing much. Just the statue." * Callie examines it. --There is some sort of force field surrounding the statue.-- Nina: "You think it's this... Easy?" * Darken examines the statue * Zigfried prods the force field. Ebony: "I dunno... There's usually guardians for these sort of things." Scott: "Maybe we can break the field with magic." Callie: "...Don't say that Ebony. =|" --Suddenly a dark figure teleports in!-- * Zigfried frowns. Darken: "What kind of magic?" Scott: "Not again." Callie: "...@&(!%(^%@#()!)!......" Darken: "Who are you?" Zigfried: "I was wondering when he'd show up." Pharos: "Finally! I lured you right into my trap!" * Scott turns around. * Zigfried raises his claws in a defensive stance. Ebony: "Just great..." Darken: "Not a chance, Pharos." Callie: "Here we go again... *to Pharos* You really need to work on that." Scott: "Hmmmm... Let's give him a double/triple combo attack." * Nina turns on Pharos Pharos: "You've meddled in my plans long enough. You're almost as bad as that nuisance Dragonmaster Alex II one thousand years ago... I should've killed him as well when I had the chance!" Callie: "...Go on..." Ebony: "I wouldn't try anything Pharos... When stuff like this happens stuff happens to save us... Mr. Dragon Cannon or Tuxedo Mask will show up." Darken: "Pharos you Neo Freak." Pharos: "Flattery will get you nowhere..." Scott: "Zig, Ky... Work with me on Storm Front. Nina, Darken, Callie... Genesis Effect!" Pharos casts Stealth Mantle! Pharos is invisible and can't be hit by any attacks! Ebony: "Or else it will be some lame trap we will fight out of..." Pharos: "Now try and hit me, mwa ha ha!" Scott: "S***... Not again." Zigfried: "Scott, don't you think this guy has more resistance to magic than most? Not less?" Ebony: "You might as well just give up now." * Zigfried closes his eyes. Callie: "Now no hide-and-go-seek, Pharos. We don't want to play." * Scott listens for Pharos. Pharos: "As you wish, Callie..." * Pharos fades back in Callie: "Why are you here?" Ebony: "Hey Callie... Try asking him to surrender." Darken: "Back off Pharos." Scott: "Why is he here... To get his ass kicked... That's why." Pharos: "The Dragon Eyes are the only way you have to return to the Blue Star. I knew you would try to get them." Callie: "Yea... Yea... SO?" * Zigfried is getting impatiently waiting for this guy to finish his gloating. Darken: "Gee you're so smart Pharos... NOT!" Pharos: "I have come to finish you off. I'm not going to make the same mistake I made one thousand years ago!" * Pharos lifts his hand and it's surrounded by a dark emanation * Nina crouches and pulls out her whip Scott: "Really? I think you just did." * Zigfried prepares for impact. * Scott shields himself with his shield. * Darken prepares to block the attack * Callie just glares at Pharos... Darken: "??" --The White Cloaked Man walks in...-- Scott: "We've got to press an attack of some kind!" Darken: "Someone else is here." White Cloaked Man: "Pharos, why don't you try picking on someone your own size for once!" Scott: "It's Mr. Dragon Cannon." Pharos: "Not you again... You're even worse than these ants..." Darken: "I've been looking for you." Ebony: "Can I call them... Or what?" Callie: "It's the Moonlight Knight! *pointing to his white cape* Whoops... Wrong cape..." Darken: "Who are you?" White Cloaked Man: "Well, how about it? You and I shall fight, with the fate of those gems and this party in the balance..." * White Cloaked Man ignores Darken Darken: "We'll help." Pharos: "Do you think I'm foolish enough to fight you?" * Zigfried feels so degraded now. Just pawns in a bigger scheme. Scott: "Is this a private party?" Callie: "Yes, we do, Pharos!" White Cloaked Man: "Very well then..." * White Cloaked Man pulls a gleaming sword from beneath his cloak Scott: "You're foolish enough to side with Nephar. Case in point." Darken: "No wait, let him do this on his own." White Cloaked Man: "I'll fight you the old-fashioned way... No magic!" Callie: "Hah. Exactly, Scott." Darken: "Good luck sir." Pharos: "No magic!? You are delirious. Your brain must have been damaged when you arrived from wherever you came from!" * Scott is getting the feeling that he won't be seeing action this time. Ebony: "Hey... Why the honor junk! Just blast him!" * Zigfried turns away from the confrontation and pokes the force field with his claws again. --The field does not budge.-- Darken: "Hmmmmm." * Nina moves to stand between the two powerful people and the party Scott: "Hmmm... Maybe we can break the field while they fight." Pharos: "I accept your challenge! We shall battle one on one, right here!" * Zigfried mutters, "Might as well just leave those two to their thing." White Cloaked Man: "Let's rock..." Callie: "Ack... And what do we do, WATCH?" * Darken wonders if the cloaked dude was following them Scott: "Nina, Zig...everyone. Let's try to break this field." Zigfried: "What do you think I've been doing? Admiring it?" ===NPC COMBAT: White Cloaked Man vs. Pharos=== Callie: "Hah." Darken: "Good luck sir." White Cloaked Man attacks! First attack... 457 damage... Second attack... 678 damage... Darken: "Whoa." * Zigfried pays only enough attention to the battle to not get quashed. Scott: "Do you think it can be broke with magic, Darken?" Third attack... 476 damage... Fourth attack... 654 damage... Darken: "Hmmm let me see." Fifth attack... 546 damage... * Nina stands between the battlers and the party... Sixth attack... 557 damage... Callie: "Nina... You MAY want to back away..." Darken: "Probably." Pharos casts Tyrant Wave! Callie: "Tyrant Wave... Why not..." Nina: "I'm making sure nothing 'accidentally' hits you all." White Cloaked Man suffers 1 damage... * Zigfried turns to look at Nina. Scott: "Well, we can fend for ourselves, Nina... Come here and give us a hand." White Cloaked Man: "You have to do better than that, Pharos!" Zigfried: "Are you sure you want to risk that?" Darken: "Try not to get too close guys." Pharos: "Argh! How could you have taken that spell so easily!" * Callie goes and TRIES to help Scott. Callie: "My ring isn't much use and I have no real magic. =(" White Cloaked Man: "Simple, Pharos. You're a wimp!" Darken: "Maybe Scott if we combined two triple combos." Pharos: "Of all the impudence... You're worse than that Dragonmaster..." * Callie adds, "AND you're no good with villain sayings!" * Nina glances at Zig. "I'd rather die then have any more deaths of my friends." Scott: "Might work... Let's do it." White Cloaked Man: "Dragonmaster, eh? I know a thing or two about those..." ===ROUND 2=== White Cloaked Man attacks! First attack... 677 damage! Second attack... 657 damage! Third attack... 567 damage! Fourth attack... 699 damage! Scott: "Anyone wanna try the two triple combos to get the jewels?" * Zigfried moves to stand slightly behind and to the side of Nina. "I don't think I'll let you die that easily. I'll stay here with you." Fifth attack... 597 damage! * Darken prepares to cast Dark Beam on the force field Sixth attack... Critical hit! 2674 damage! Nina: "Scott... I think the outcome of this battle will decide what happens." * Scott prepares to cast Aqua Blast on the field. Pharos collapses... * Callie watches Nina and Zig with a smirk. Darken: "Never mind, Scott." Pharos: "You... Win... But who are you? I only know of one with skills such as yours in both magic and swordsmanship..." Callie: "!! That went so fast!!" Nina: "I have no intention of dying Zig." Darken: "Now finish him off sir." Scott: "FINISH HIM!" * Zigfried smirks. "I should hope so." White Cloaked Man: "Who am I you ask? I have returned from an age long since past to protect both these worlds. The story of why I became what I became is a story few know, a story forgotten..." * Ebony hovers, watching... listening White Cloaked Man: "However, the time has come for me to add a new chapter to the story, a chapter that hopefully will outshine the old. To that end I will prevent you and your armies of darkness from accomplishing your objective until the heroes of this era are ready to defeat you once and for all!" Darken: "Who are you mister?" * Scott turns to the two battlers. Pharos: "Ha! Heroes of this era? Whoever you are, your journey through time damaged your brain... With the exception of you, there is not a single mortal on either of these worlds that would stand a chance against any of our Four Devils. I doubt that even you could survive a battle against Demonmaster Kane, Nephar's strongest warrior..." White Cloaked Man: "You think I fear that weakling Demonmaster?! I was alive when he originally terrorized the Blue Star and made his defeat possible! Now, begone! Dragon Cann..." * Pharos, being a total coward, teleports out in the nick of time. Callie: "Hmm... Mr. DC is MUCH better at talking heroically than Pharos is at villainy." * White Cloaked Man turns his Dragon Cannon towards the force field, shattering it Scott: "True, Callie." Darken: "Thanks for your help sir." White Cloaked Man: "The gems are now yours, friends..." Callie: "Thank you, sir..." * Scott bows to Mr. Dragon Cannon. Darken: "Thanks again." * Zigfried smirks and turns to the gems. Ebony: "Gee... Thanks" Scott: "Thank you sir. You assistance was appreciated." White Cloaked Man: "It was an honor to serve with you..." * Darken shakes his hand * Zigfried pulls out the gems. -Zigfried acquires Dragons' Eye Gems Darken: "But... Who are you?" * Nina nods a little, stops looking so protective White Cloaked Man: "I am a friend, that is all you need to know. My work here is done though as that coward Pharos ran away before I could finish him... No matter, it wasn't my destiny to kill him anyway." Scott: "We would like to know... Really... Who are you?" Callie: "I feel we will know soon enough..." Darken: "Teach us how to fight like that." White Cloaked Man: "I am sworn to secrecy by the powers than brought me to this time. All will be revealed once you are in possession of the Heroes' Crests, however." Scott: "OK, sir... Take care... We will meet again, I have no doubt." Callie: "Hah. I also think we will in time. Or at least will have to..." * Zigfried carefully stashes the Dragon's Eye Gems in his backpack. White Cloaked Man: "Farewell..." Darken: "By the way, do you know where Justice Crest is?" * Callie waves. Scott: "Take care." Scott: "Now all we need is a Miniporter." * White Cloaked Man teleports out in a swirl of purple magic without hearing Darken's question --There is another passageway behind the Dragon's Head statue-- Darken: "Darn missed him." Scott: "Let's take that way." Callie: "*sigh* That battle made me realize... We're going to have to be about as strong as that guy in order to take Pharos on and his minions..." * Ebony lands on Zig's shoulder and peeks at the gems * Scott heads out that passageway. Darken: "If you guys wanna know I been looking for him." Teal: "You sure? I mean, that battle wasn't even close." --This leads to a small chamber with a single chest.-- * Scott opens the chest -Scott acquires Miniporter * Scott uses the Miniporter. Darken: "Use it Scott." Scott uses the Miniporter. The group is teleported outside the cave. Scott: "Let's get to the Star Tower." Darken: "Ahh finally outta there." Teal: "There was something... Familiar... About that guy's voice..." Ruby: "Shouldn't we stop by Dalton to heal and stock up first?" Darken: "Which way Scott?" Hiro: "Yeah, I think my mom's got the right idea." Ebony: "Your mom's smart, Hiro." Scott: "Hmmm... Let's head back to Dalton... It's a good staging area." * Ebony flies ahead Darken: "Yeah she's right we should." Ruby: "Ebony, I think that's the first nice thing you've ever said about me!" * Scott walks toward Dalton. * Zigfried shrugs and follows. * Darken follows * Ebony glances back with a small smile "It's just the way I am, Ruby... I can't help myself." Ruby: "Yeah, right..." * Ruby is suspicious of Ebony's intentions Nina: "Hey... Wait for us!" * Nina runs after Ebony Scott: "I'll believe that the day that Zophar returns from the dead, Ebony." Ebony: "It's not my fault you all are slow!" Darken: "Hmmmmm, Callie you said he looked familiar to you?" Callie: "Hmm? *wasn't paying attention*" * Ebony presses a paw to his chest. "Why Scott... You wound me." Darken: "Callie do you know him?" Callie: "Know who?" Darken: "Mr. DC." Scott: "Mr. Dragon Cannon." Callie: "No, I have no clue." Darken: "Hmmmmm." Scott: "That amnesia thing, huh? A'ight." Darken: "Amnesia!!??" --Dalton can be seen just over the horizon.-- Darken: "Callie you have amnesia??" * Callie nods sadly. Darken: "I'm... Sorry." Darken: "If only I could help you." Callie: "It's OK... I've had it for a long while now..." * Scott pats Callie on the back... "You're a'ight by me. That's all that counts." * Scott lifts Callie onto his shoulder. Darken: "Yeah, Scott's right." Darken: "!!!!" Callie: "ACK!" * Scott smiles. Nina: "There's Dalton." --The gates of Dalton finally lie before the party.-- * Callie gets out of Scott's shoulder, tackles him, and gets him in a hold! * Nina fixes her cloak over her wings Darken: "Whoa." Callie: "HAH!" * Scott breaks out and bench presses Callie. Callie: "ACK!!" Darken: "Scott!!!" Teal: "Ahh... Reminds me of Lou and Diana way back when. Of course, they fought with swords, tee hee..." Callie: "Hmm?!?" Ebony: "Yea... Reminds me of Lou and Diana..." Ebony: "Different ones..." * Scott puts Callie down and leaps up to his feet. Teal: "Wait a sec, Uncle, didn't your Lou and Diana not fight at all for the most part?" Darken: "Hmmmmmmm, how do you guys know?" Ebony: "Gee... What a strange name coincidence huh?" * Callie brushes herself off and tries to look sophisticated. Teal: "Yeah... Very strange..." Callie: "*cough* *cough*" Scott: "Yep... Weird. Very weird." Ebony: "They had that sappy love thing going." Teal: "No kidding. My Lou and Diana beat each other to a pulp before they fell in love, hehe..." Darken: "*COUGH*" * Ebony does a female voice impressing "Lou... I never want to leave your side." * Ebony does a male voice, not his, "Oh Diana... I... Oh wait... Bad guys... Let me throw myself at them!" * Zigfried chuckles. * Callie blushes. "Can we just get on our way now?" --The party finally enters Dalton, and stands near the convenient Althena's Statue.-- * Scott touches the statue. * Darken grabs Eb and stuffs him into him pack * Darken touches the statue --Everyone's HP/MP recovered-- * Callie fehs, still blushing slightly, and touches the statue. Nina: "I doubt they are selling anything new since the last time we were here." Scott: "True." ===MAGIC LEVELLING MODE=== --Callie first :)-- Callie: "I'll level Acrobatics." --Callie's skill "Acrobatics" has reached level 4.
