Ring the Alarm

[wingedgunner.livejournal.com]

Who: Yuna and whoever shows up
What: Monsters are attacking D8
Where: The Great Maw
When: Feb 28
Status: Active

Yuna fluttered back and forth in a worry. She was back near the maw, keeping an eye on the suddenly overpopulated maw. Watching for the most part, hoping that none would suddenly make a rush for the town. For the most part they had just been idly wandering closer every now and again but with each foot closer they got, the more nervous she became.

"Oooooh. I hope they come quick." She muttered to herself, wishing the others to come faster. They were coming closer again, and it wouldn't be long until they reached the Bailey.




(whoops. forgot to mention it earlier but Behemoths are open to any of these so have fun choosing which ones you're fighting. Please note not all of them are defeatable the same way, etc, etc. And all smaller other monsters are free for your own choosing. Have fun and PLEASE KEEP TAGGING. >:)

Auria raced to the Maw, boots pounding the ground as she rounded to the Bailey. She leaped and glided to the ground, ignoring the now almost-completed staircase, and once again lengthened her stride to cover the remaining ground. Her hammer felt weightless in her right hand; she barely felt the gentle slap of the potions she had strapped around her chest.

The one thing she did feel was her bracelet, cold despite the hot blood pumping through her and heating her skin.

Her breath began to come ragged as she burst through the Fissure and leaped over the side of the Maw. As she glided over the soon-to-be battlefield, her heart turned to ice. Was it possible for so many Behemoths and other, similar creatures to be here at once?

Auria turned, arcing widely in her glide to catch Yuna. She shot the obviously anxious girl what should have been a reassuring grin, but turned more into a worried countenance mirroring poor Yuna's. Not very uplifting at all.

At last she hit the ground and ran fingers through her pulled-back hair. They were really in the soup now.

Ray grabbed her nunchaku and a few grenades as soon as she'd replied to Yuna's post and ran out the door, quickly making her way toward the Maw. Once she got there, she stopped in amazement, staring in amazement. There were... a lot more than she'd expected.

"We can take 'em," she murmured, grinning. She couldn't do it alone by any means, but with everyone else -

- Oh, look, there was Auria. She trotted over, not losing that confident smirk.

"Aw, we're not scared of a few Behemoths, are we?" Ray teased, offering her a hand to help her up. "C'mon, we can make quick work of these things. There are others on the way anyway."

Behemoths. The real thing this time, not Heartless. Lovely. And what kinds were there? The Ivalice ones which were ogre sized and carried big ass swords or the huge purple quadrapeds that the Heartless had vaguely resembled? Fox supposed she would see when she got there. On the plus side, this time she knew better Healing magic was generally better equipped as a fighter. But really, her main thought as she arrived at the Bailey?

'Fuuuuck.'

And going into repeat as she headed out to the Maw and actually saw the horde. It was not all Behemoths, but there were still a lot of large monsters.

"We're well and truly fucked this time, I think," she muttered. A short moment's debate saw her deciding that this was probably as good a time as any to try out the toxic arrows she'd been experimenting with since the first monsters had shown up.

This battle was going to suck either way.

Auria tried to grin, but swallowed. "There are still a helluva lot of them, regardless of how many we have. Wish we had Josiah and that flying board thing he had during the Tesseract Battle."

[seolearo.livejournal.com]

"Pfft, you say that like we're helpless without him. I'd like to think we can handle ourselves well enough." She waved lazily at Fox and, calling upon her Thunder magic, turned and charged straight for the first Behemoth.

It didn't take long for Ari to reach the maw, mostly relying on gliding her way there so she didn't do something stupid like slip on the stairs and bash her head open before the fight even began.

Reaching the maw, she got there just in time to hear the end snippets of the conversation and stopped to watch Ray charge ahead. "Heeeey." She called, "Don't tell me you were planning to start without me!"

Sora was on his way.

He was tired from the Pride Lands deal, and he would rather have been synthing or talking to Merlin about the summon gem.

But Radiant Garden being in danger. The restoration in danger of being undone. He had to act.

So he ran, stocked with ethers and hi-potions. And he was not the least bit calmer than anyone else who had already shown up. That was a lot of monsters.

Kairi had only glanced at the message before swiftly collecting things she would need and dashing out of the door.

It didn't take long for her to reach the maw, her eyes widening at the sheer amounts of monsters. Noticing Sora, she made her way over quietly. "It's a lot isn't it. But we can do it, right Sora?"

Roxas had made sure he had some potions, ethers and now antidotes with him and the light mail shirt he'd commissioned. The Moogles had finished it awfully quick once he'd had all the materials. Which was good. he suspected he might need it. It was fitted so that his jacket covered it neatly, leaving the impression he hadn't bothered to get any armor at all. By the sound of things, this was going to be a nasty battle.

It looked just as bad when he arrived at the Maw. There Behemoths, sure, and many other monsters, some they'd seen already, some they hadn't. There were also multiple varieties of monsters. Just as he had seen two different types of Chimera the day before, he saw a few different kinds of Behemoth.

And there were Sora and Kairi. Perfect. This made things a little easier.

[a-total-sap.livejournal.com]

"Of course we can," he said, as he would to Riku or Ryune or any other able companion. Then he realized to whom he was speaking.

"K-KAIRI?"

[papoupromise.livejournal.com]

She couldn't help but grin a bit, amused at his expression.
"Yes, that's my name." she said.

[a-total-sap.livejournal.com]

He tried to stay serious, but a little chuckle slipped by. He quickly covered it with a frown.

"You can't be here! Those things will rip you to pieces!"

Aria checked her equipment before heading to the Maw at an unhurried pace. She was a little annoyed that some of the Happy Bunnies decided to follow her.

Arriving at the maw she hesitated and glanced at the bunnies before heading towards the battle, she could have sworn the things were looking at her as if she was crazy.

Amy hurried to the Maw at a near run, ammo and slingshot stuffed in the pouches attached to her belt, sword in her hand. Jalen was going to friggin' kill her for doing this. They'd both seen Yuna's entry and immediately got into an argument about Amy's ability to take on something like a Behemoth, even with the help of her friends. Jalen had forbade her to take part in the battle, and after a bit more yelling and a few minutes worth of sulking, when he'd been distracted by something outside, she'd grabbed her weapons and taken off. She was sure that at some point he'd come after her and probably drag her back to Rainbow's End - if he didn't get involved in the fight himself, anyway.

She came up on Aria and the small legion of bunnies, trying to grin even as the enormity of her decision began to sink in.

"Hey Aria, gonna sic the bunny things on them?"

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

Aria looked at Amy as she ran up and glanced at the bunnies after hearing her comment on them.

"I didn't want to waste time trying to get them to stay behind."

She looked back towards the battle and drew her sword.

"Who knows, they might be useful. They have some sort of healing magic and seem eager to use it on friendly people."

[shadowchaser.livejournal.com]

"Looking at the stuff ahead of us, we're probably gonna need it."

She made a face, readjusting the grip on her sword. This was definitely reckless, which was exactly what Jalen had a problem with. But if she stayed behind all the time, how was she ever going to get better?

"Remember the wedding, gotta be alive for that." she muttered to herself before starting forward.

"Guess we'd better go help."

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

"Yeah."

She turned her attention to the Plant Spider (http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Plant_Spider) that was heading in their direction. She wasn't surprised that the bunnies scattered, though they didn't go far.

"Shit, be careful. These things are kinda fast" she said before moving to attack and getting a nice cut on her arm in the process.

"This is going to be a fun battle."

Luckily for Yuna, Aya was in town. The Dagda had docked a few days ago after Ryan decided it would be an idea to skip town in Ivalice. A few too many run-ins with what passed as 'cops' there had happened and given the poor weather, taking further chances would be a bad idea.

She came wearing heavier armor than usual due to weather but nonetheless moving no slower than normal. "ALRIGHT! LET'S DO THIS!" She shouted, summoning her Spine into her hand with a quick thrust of her palm. "Point me at 'em!"

[a-total-sap.livejournal.com]

As Sora rushed to battle, he saw a figure that he hadn't seen for a while, but seemed incredibly familiar to him...

"Aya!" he called when he finally remembered. The armor had thrown him off a little.

[ryuuzoku-aya.livejournal.com]

Aya didn't even pause in her run. She was short and thus had to pretty much work twice as hard to get anywhere so not having to make up lost ground was a plus. Instead, she looked over her shoulder at the sound of the familiar voice.

"Sora!" she called back, easily reocnigzing the kid. "Glad to see you here too! C'mon, let's go kick some butt!"

Ash shut off the lamp by her desk, grabbing her guns and dashing out of the library to the maw. She spotted the group that was there almost immediately. She'd been a different person the last time she had seen most of the crew, but she imagined they would recognize her easily enough.

"I'm ready to go, guys!"

Josiah had only briefly scanned Yuna's message on the comm before grabbing his board and heading out towards the Maw. He may have been taking corners too sharply and riding a little too fast, but he was still trying to curb his anger and frustration with the whole Calum problem. And nothing helped anger and frustration better than breakneck speed and deadly risks.

He glided into the Maw, hanging onto the sail with one hand as he came up on a vaguely familiar woman. Quickly running through the list of Refugee names in his head, he finally realized why she seemed so unfamiliar. Last time he had seen her, she had looked remarkably different.

"'Sup, Ash," he called by way of a greeting as his eyes passed over the dozens of monsters in the Maw. Well, this was going to be anything but easy.

If it were easy, then the victory would lose its significance.

Josiah grimaced, and pushed the thought to the back of his mind. Now was not the time.

[mrfantastico.livejournal.com]

Luckily Josh was nearby flying about in his newly created tiny little test gummiship when he saw the message of very bad things happening in the Maw coming from the community, Which of course caused him to decide he should probably help!

That help came in the form of him quickly flying to the Maw and ejecting himself from his gummi as it was sent barreling towards a group of large ogre like monsters as Josh himself parachuted slowly down and landed near a group of people

"Heeeey..What'd i miss?? Also, Does anyone know what in the living fuck is going on?"

[lostscore.livejournal.com]

"Greets, Josiah, Josh." Ash said grimly. She gestured at the behemoth crowd and the number of people who had already started their attacks. "That's about the size of things." She loaded her rifle with a definitive click and headed straight for the closest monster, the red glow of her snipe searching for sensitive spots as she moved.

[menocrede.livejournal.com]

"Looks like a party to me," Josiah said casually, a grin slowly appearing on his face. He slipped his knives into his hands and murmured a spell for paralysis beneath his breath (it was times like this that he really wished he had moogles synthesize his athame - damn that procrastination of his). He lowered the sail of the solar surfboard and shot towards the rampaging behemoths, staying low to the ground and quickly reviewing the info he knew about bull-like monsters in his head.

Man, he was really going to have to learn thunder or something in the near future.
