Dissidia Final Fantasy : Chaos Wins

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cloud}

Cloud looks around at the ruins of his hometown. He wonders what is next in his trip down memory lane.

"If there is something here" he says to Lightning. "the best places to check would be the Reactor ruins or at Shinra Mansion."

He looks toward the reactor.

"Not sure how much survived at the reactor."

 

............................

{Dr Cid}

Dr Cid thinks a moment.

"The ones I know are not compatible to our cause." Dr Cid thinks aloud.

Dr Cid takes off his glasses and cleans them.

"There might be one named Sec that could be useful, but he has other goals."

Dr Cid replaces his glasses.

"I do not know whether those place will conflict with our own."

[AnsemTheWise 1,114]

The reactor was all but totaled. Lightning peeked into one of the pods in the entrance. While whatever was in there was preserved, it definitely wasn't alive anymore. It didn't even look human...

 

"You mentioned a 'Shinra Mansion' earlier. And we were at the Shinra building before. Just what is... or was... this Shinra up to?" If they had anything to do with these things in the containers, she almost didn't want to know...

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Sec stood atop the Crystal Tower, looking at the sky. He never took the time to appreciate the skies of Allodare. And if he failed, he never would. The platinum grieves glistened in the warm sunlight, which reflected off of his weapon's golden wing-like extensions. With these, he would rebuild his world. And not even Alma could stop him...

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cloud}

Cloud shakes his head.

"The Shinra Mansion is here in Nibelhiem." Cloud answers.

He points out the direction of the mansion.

"A friend of my said that some Jenova research took place there."

[AnsemTheWise 1,114]

There didn't seem to be anything left here. Only a bunch of broken glass. Lightning quickly went upstairs, forcing the door at the top open. A large piece of machinery sat at the head of the room, destroyed. Over it was a plate with a single word inscribed: JENOVA. "Cloud. Look at this." She waved him in. It looked like a figure. Almost human, except...

 

"There's no head."

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cloud}

Cloud nods.

"Sephiroth took that when he found this place." Cloud informs Lightning. "Last time I saw the head..."

Cloud grimaces, thinking that he might have destroyed something vital.

"...was when I sliced it in two during a fight with Kadaj."

Cloud looks around the room for some files.

[Axtwyt 500]

Johnny sighed in relief, "Last thing we need is a goddess down and Chaos running rampant." He then said, "I'd think Cosmos would still have some warriors around to watch her. Let's go check out the Chaos Shrine. Bet no one's thought to check there for an Ultima orb."

[roxaskeybladeart55 72]

Zack sighed.

"Alright." he said, they headed to the portal to the Chaos shrine.

-meanwhile-

Genesis nodded.

"Well, want me to check them out as well? keep you informed?" he asked.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Dr Cid}

Cid nods.

"That would be excellent." he says.

He turns his attention back to the orbs for a moment.

"Be careful around Sec." Cid warns. "He appears to be rather cunning."

[roxaskeybladeart55 72]

Genesis sighed.

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on these Cosmos fools, and then check in with Cid, where would i find him?" Genesis asked. he saw them elave the building, he followed them with his phone to his ear.

-meanwhile-

They finally reached the throne.

"Hello?" Zack called out asking.

[OblivionRider 50]

OOC: 4th character, but one's dead anyway...

 

Hope and Serah arrived at Ultimecia's Castle. The place seemed empty. The gears kept turning.

 

"Now where would the Ultima be, Noel?" Serah asked. The name seemed familiar, but foregin.

 

"My guess would be, up," Hope responded.

 

The two of them climbed the stairs, jumping over the gaps. Suddenly, the gears stopped.

 

"Noel," Serah said nervously.

 

"When I give the word, run," Hope said. Then he felt a draft from below.

 

"RUN!" he shouted and the two began rapidly ascending.

 

With a loud screech, a beast flew above them. It had... it was undescribable. The humanoid creature that looked like a mix between a dragon and Medusa roared at them.

 

"I AM RAGNAROK!"

[Axtwyt 500]

Johnny looked around at the shrine. It had been abandoned for years. Or at least it seemed like it.

"This place is huge," Johnny stated to the party. "Try to stay close together. No wandering off."

[AnsemTheWise 1,114]

Lightning stooped under a large pipe when it felt like her chest was constricting. Her Chaos brand burned like hellfire, the l'Cie gasping for breath. 'What? What's happening?' She thought, pulling herself together. Was it something in another world, or here? Either way, it wasn't good.

 

"Cloud." She said, trying to even her voice out. "We've searched everything here. Let's move to that manor." Hopefully she would find some answers there.

[OblivionRider 50]

The monster flew forward and seized Serah. The poor girl screamed in fright as the monster flew higher.

 

“Serah, I’ll save you!” Hope shouted.

 

Hope rushed up the stairs and through the twisting mansion. Somehow, he knew where to go. Finally, he reached the Master Room. There, the monster sat on the throne, with Serah unconscious on the floor in front of her. Ragnarok roared.

 

Hope summoned Nue. “I won’t let you hurt my friend!” He tossed Nue at Ragnarok with all his might, but it bounced off the beast. ”I’m gonna need more power.”

 

Barely conscious, Serah saw Noel/Hope standing in front of her and the beast. On the floor lay something else that reminded her of a woman she once saw; white feathers.

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cloud}

Cloud nods and leads the way to the manor. He had noticed Lightning's gasp and the look on her face. He let it slide cause he understood what she was doing.

"Don't know if anything of use could still be at the mansion." Cloud says as he leads Lightning. "The experiments that happened there were a long time ago. Even the experiments into Chaos that happened there were..."

Cloud's voice trails off at the end. An idea had struck him. Was the Protomateria Vincent had a piece of Ultima?

[roxaskeybladeart55 72]

Genesis watched them enter the mansion, he sighed lookign around town.

'since the niebleheim incident, the own was burned down... but Shinra rebuilt it and populated it with actors.' he thougth to himself, the town looked exactly as it did before.

"A testiment to our sins..." Genesis said walking around the town.

[AnsemTheWise 1,114]

Cloud's voice trailed off, as if he'd thought of something. "What? Idea?"

 

He hadn't said anything about what happened before, and she silently thanked him for that. Honestly, she didn't know what happened either. But if this mansion held the answers they were looking for, then it would all be worth it.

[Axtwyt 500]

The party walked through the main doors to the main chamber. On the walls were images of four distinct creatures. The Four Fiends of this world, no doubt. Johnny walked up to the orb in the middle of the chamber. As he touched it, his hand went into it. Johnny drew it back in fear but then realized that the orb was in there. He reached back in and pulled out a blackened orb.

"Where to next?" Johnny turned back towards the party. "Maybe Palamecia?"

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cloud}

Cloud looks over at Lightning.

"My friend has some materia." Cloud answers. "There is only one of it."

Cloud thinks a moment.

"I think it's been around as long as the planet."

[OblivionRider 50]

Hope dove out of the way as the monster jumped over him.

 

“Come on out, big guy!”

 

His Eidolon crystal soared up into the air and shattered. Out fell Alexander in Gestalt Mode. Somehow he looked stronger.

 

Ragnarok took a leap at the Great Wall.

 

“BRUTAL SANCTION” Hope cried. The Wall responded by shooting a massive volley of bullets at Ragnarok. The beast cried out.

 

“Now’s our chance, DIVINE JUFGEMENT!”

 

At Hope’s command, beams of light surrounded the beast and blasted it.

But Alexander didn’t stop there. It wasn’t content with beating the beast; it wanted to destroy it!

 

Hope felt his energy drain every second the attack lasted. He then heard a voice in his head.

 

Face it later. Bu bye!

 

­No, that voice! It couldn’t be? He had to stop the blast.

 

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” Hope shouted, putting all of his energy to break the attack.

 

It was successful. Alexander disappeared in a flash, and there was a massive explosion.

 

Hope and Serah lay unconcious, but another girl, dressed in a revealing pink outfit, lay where Ragnarok had been.

 

The new arrival of a Chaos pawn was the least of their worries. That’s right, Ultimecia’s Castle was falling down.

Ragnarok attacked!

[AnsemTheWise 1,114]

"Then let's find this friend of yours." Lightning couldn't ignore the pain in her chest. It was bordering on unbearable, but she couldn't let Coud know. That would only slow them down. She had been through worse, and this war had to end as quickly as possible.

 

"A one of a kind materia as old as the planet... I think we found our piece."

[OblivionRider 50]

The castle came crumbling down. Debris, gears, and magic were running rampant as the castle caved in.

 

The three people were falling with the debris; Hope, Serah, and the girl.

 

The collapsing world sent banish traps all over the place. With no destination in sight, the unconcous Hope and Serah fell into separate ones, being teleported elsewhere.

 

The falling girl opened her eyes. Falling in front of her, a special looking gear shined.

 

"What is that?" she asked in an Australian accent.

 

But she was still hurtling towards oblivion. Quickly thinking, she pulled out her binding rod and wrapped up the gear like a fishing rod. Suddenly it transformed into a shining orb.

 

"I got it, ahhh!" the girl shrieked as she fell into a banishing trap.

 

The girl fell to the ground in front of a mansion, the shining orb next to her.

[AnsemTheWise 1,114]

Lightning kicked the mansion doors open, the sun blazing outside. This world was in ruins and ful of dead-ends. This ancient materia better be it...

 

But something else had caught her attention. A girl was lying in the mansion grounds. She was... familiar somehow. She rushed over, rolling the girl over. An orb lay beside her. Ultima. Was she with Cosmos, or Chaos? Did it matter anymore? But still, there was something about her...

 

Her head still foggy, Claire gently shook the girl. "Hey, get up. Who are you?" Names dashed through her mind. None of them seemed to fit. "Nora? Fang?"

[rikunobodyxiii 700]

{Cloud}

Cloud moves to stand beside Lightning. He looks down at the newcomer.

"Friend of your?" Cloud asks.

He had a bad feeling about this. Lightning was in pain. She hid it well, but Cloud could still see it. Was this girl a cause of that? Cloud glances around the room, making sure nothing else pops up.

[roxaskeybladeart55 72]

Genesis watched them tend to the girl... she had a piece. Genesis sncuk closer and got behind furnature, they only paid attention to the girl. he walked by and snatched the orb, then left the mansion quietly without attracting they're attention. he called Cid.

"I found another piece doc." he said.

-meanwhile-

Zack sighed.

"I dunno... maybe we should try and go after Cid and Genesis?" he supposed.

[Axtwyt 500]

Johnny shook his head, "He said he was going to Zanarkand, but we didn't run into him." He thought for a moment and then realized, "They're following Lightning. At Nibelheim."
