Day 16 - December 8 :: Round 4.1: Give me Shadow Tekken! (Gareas Version) |
"Looks like the rest aren't here to cheer for us....." Nicole said, as she was expecting the RD gang to be watching and cheering for them in their final battle for the third position in the tournament. "It doesn't matter whether they are here or not, as long as we win this match!" Conoly clenched his fists.
"The battle to decide which team will be third;" The announcer roared. "SoF team (3) versus RD team (A)!" Slightly more than the last few battle events, the spectators were filling up the arena, and cheering for Diamond's group and Gareas's side. The teams were badly weakened both in terms of strength and financial side due to the recent lost in battle that eventually brought them into competing for the third position.
Diamond was still as friendly as ever despite the fact that she is one of the dark Jewel Keepers of SoF. "Is Ashton alright?" Diamond asked Gareas who in turn replied that he was doing fine. "I see..." Diamond seemed glad. "Send my regards to him after I beat your team in this round." Nicole overheard her, and was unpleased about it. "The winning team can only be.......us!"
"The outcome will be decided in this battle so don't raise your hopes too high, Diamond." added Conoly. The familiar countdown soon began and when it reached '0', Diamond commanded one of her hawks; 'D1' to attacked Conoly first but Gareas blocked the hawk and confused it using a new tech 'Confusion', causing it to injured itself instead. "Good one, Mr. Gareas.....but you will have to do better to take down my hawks!" Diamond shouted as D1 strike Gareas with its full force but Gareas managed to counterattacked, both taking damage.
"We will see which of us girls are better!" Nicole grinned and tried slashing Diamond with her retractable claws but Diamond summoned huge ice boulders at her, both slowing and injuring Nicole. The arena floor was covered with frozen ice, reducing Nicole's mobility but she got her own tricks up her sleeve. "Meteor Strike!" Nicole yelled, sending forth dozens of meteors from the sky to crash into the arena, shattering the icy floor and seriously injuring Diamond, with Nicole finishing it off with her 'Max' skill; 'Cross Slash' but it wasn't enough to get rid of Diamond.
As soon as Nicole backed away from Diamond after attacking, she noticed that Diamond was protected by the same diamond-shaped barrier used in the fight against Ashton, Rex & Rock. "The diamond jewel." Gareas muttered as he reloaded his revolver. Out of nowhere, a huge dark fog covered the whole arena, and by the time it cleared away, Diamond's other hawk; 'D2' was already eliminated from the battle. Conoly and Nicole both knew it was the doing of Gareas's powerful 'Max' skill; 'Shadow Tekken'.
Gareas, Nicole and Conoly were still in good shape while Diamond's team was down to two but still prove a threat to the opposing side, which team will win then? Only time can tell.......
Day 16 - December 9 :: Round 4.1: Call of the assassin! (Conoly Version) |
Previously, both the SoF team (3) and RD team (A) fought fiercely in the second-last round of the finals, and apparently, RD team (A) seem to be taking the lead.
It was Conoly's turn to strike, and with Diamond unprepared, Conoly grabbed a few of his shuriken and threw it at her, hitting Diamond twice in a row after combining with the 'Double Cut' tech. Diamond's diamond barrier managed to blocked off some of Conoly's shuriken but she was to weak to withstand all of them and had to rely on her 'Teardrop' to bring her back to health.
Sensing its owner in danger, D1 kept Conoly busy by swooping down at him, with its sharp claws threatening to slash him anytime. But as hard as the furious hawk tried, Conoly nullified all of its attacks with his newly bought 'Nullification' techs. While Conoly was distracted by D1, Diamond unleashed several ice boulders at Gareas, covering the floor with pure ice. "It is time for me to pay you back, Gareas!" Conoly shouted as Nicole helped him take care of D1 while he stand in the way of the boulders that were approaching Gareas.
Gareas tried to stopped Conoly but it was too late as the chunk of ice slammed into him. "Conoly!" screamed Gareas but there was no reply from Conoly who was buried under the icy boulders. The arena was once again covered by the white snow and ice caused by Diamond. Nicole had finished off D1 and all was left in SoF team (3) was Diamond herself.
The frozen ground didn't stop Gareas from using his revolver, and he aimed it at the young Diamond to avenge his friend Conoly. Because of his anger and rage, Gareas couldn't get a clear shot at her and failed to defeat Diamond. "Gareas," A voice boomed from beneath the remains of the ice boulders. "You will never be able to knock Diamond out with that kind of attitude!"
"Conoly.....?" Both Gareas and Nicole said in astonishment. "Who else are you expecting other than me?" A staggered-looking figure appeared from the melting chamber of ice made up of the icy boulders. "It can't be...." Diamond lost in words. "I....thought I got rid of you earlier?" "I wouldn't known as one of the best assassins if I am to be defeated that easily." Conoly responded as he flung a set of shuriken at Diamond, wasting away all her remaining 'Teardrop' and reducing her HP to 1,350.
Day 16 - December 10 :: Round 4.1: The next Jewel Keeper! (Nicole Version) |
Diamond's team mates were already out of the battle and she herself was down to critical status. She and the RD team (A) knew that the next few attacks will conclude the end of the round. "Nicole....we shall see who is better among the two of us!" Diamond waved her hands in a strange manner and called upon the third and eventually the final set of icy boulders at Nicole. Although Nicole knew Diamond would tried using the boulders again, she wasn't fast enough to dodge them all and was hit continuously for a few times.
"It appears that I am stronger than you, Nicole!" Diamond grinned in a cute manner. Nicole was slammed to the ground by the boulders but got up soon enough to finish the competition between Diamond and herself while the two guys were standing aside, putting their victory into Nicole's hands.
"Diamond...." Nicole glared at her, smiling away. "You are just repeating the same mistake like you did before, and I will just have to solve it for you like I did previously......'Max' skill; 'Cross Slash' again!" Strangely, instead of Nicole slashing Diamond in a form of a cross, she ended up going slightly berserk and started slashing Diamond repeatedly, before finally finishing her off with her trademark attack; the cross-slash style! Nicole had learnt her second 'Max' skill; 'Tension Breaks'!
Diamond dropped to the ground after Nicole's blows and due to exhaustion, Nicole too fell to the floor. "You....are really...good, Nicole....!" Diamond remarked while catching her breath. "You are also great....." Nicole said in return. The battle for the third position had ended and RD team (A) was the winner! Both Gareas and Conoly helped Nicole and Diamond up. "Nicole, take this as a gift from me." Diamond said with cheerfulness as she took her diamond jewel and put it on Nicole's palm. "The Diamond Jewel?" Nicole was shocked yet amazed by the shiny hand-sized jewel. "I can't accept it! It is just too valuable!"
"Just treat it as a prize for beating me and besides, it is a rule passed down to all Jewel Keepers that whoever is able to defeat a Keeper will be allowed to take his Jewel and succeed as the next Keeper." Diamond took Nicole's hand and made her clenched the jewel. "Master SoF will kill me as soon as my defeat in the tourney is known to him and so it would be best if you could keep it for me."
"Diamond....." Nicole mumbled, almost to tears. "And now," Diamond chuckled. "I hereby proclaim Nicole as the new rightful Jewel Keeper of Diamond!" Silence fell but it was soon broken by Conoly's applause and Gareas patted Nicole on the head. "I must get going," Diamond picked up her two injured hawks as she walked towards the exit of the arena before turning back at Nicole. "It have been a wonderful time knowing you guys, especially you, Nicole. I doubt I will ever see you all again but if I do, I will definitely fight back for the jewel!" laughed Diamond.
"Diamond...wait!" Nicole wanted to chase after Diamond but Gareas stopped her. "The only thing we can do for her now is to destroy SoF as soon as possible before he can harm Diamond." Conoly nodded in agreement and Nicole turned to look at the beautiful sight of the diamond jewel, which reminded her of a new friend; Diamond.
Day 16 - December 11 :: Double Trouble?! |
(Continued from Day 15 - December 7)
"It means that we are dead-meat?" Hiead queried and Jasper raised his staff, pointing at Hiead and the others. "Correct, and the reward for you guys......is to let you witness the performance I am going to show you!"
Jasper spined his staff, and from nowhere came streaks of lightning that barely missed Kyo. "Thunder Bolt tech?!" cried Gyo. "Jusuchi, take Tomaru back to the rest and call for help." Kyo ordered and Jusuchi grabbed the injured Tomaru, soon disappearing into the midst of crowd. Jasper didn't try to stop Jusuchi from escaping and he seemed much more pleased with it.
"Are you sure just the four of you can take on me?" Jasper mocked. "It would be ten against you, I afraid so." Rex appeared, along with Ashton, Eijay, David, Tai and Keiji, led by Tobira. "How did you guys get here so quickly?" Hiead asked and Tobira told them that she kept her promise to tell the rest if they aren't back by the following day. "It sure is a good thing to rely on you." Gyo exclaimed, referring to Tobira.
"Fine with me!" Jasper remarked. "But even if it is hundred or more, I will still emerge victorious!" Eijay ignored his remarks and pulled out his sub-machine gun, firing dozens of bullets at Jasper but none even hit him! "......." Eijay stared at Jasper, speechless. "No matter what weapon you use, you will never get to even injure me!" Jasper flung his head back with laughter before waving his weird staff once more, sending forth streaks of lightning at Kyo, Eijay, Keiji, David and Tobira, which only Eijay managed to dodge in time while the rest wasted a teardrop or two to withstand the shocking experience.
"You are not going to get away with this!" snarled Tai and was about to use his shotgun when another enemy stepped into the scene; the Jewel Keeper by the name of Pearl. "Hey, you came at the right time!" Jasper greeted Pearl as he pummelled Kyo to the ground with a struck from his staff. "My hands are getting a little full so would you mind if you can lend a helping hand ^_^ ?"
"It is my job to crush these vermin anyway....." Pearl responded. "Who are you calling vermin?" Rex roared as he drew his long sword, charging straight at the matured lady with specs.
The team of ten was divided into two to fight against the two Jewel Keepers. Will the RD team stand a chance against the wrath of the jewels? Read on to find out!
Day 16 - December 12 :: Come on! 'Max' skill frenzy! |
David, Tobira, Keiji and especially Kyo were badly weaken after the 'Thunder Bolt' strike. Jasper was like almost invincible because he managed to evade every attack threw at him, including Kyo's meteor strike and Eijay's previous dual attack. Tobira swung her beam sabre at Jasper too but like the rest, she couldn't hit him.
David kept calm but he could feel a strange burning energy inside him that was so strong David couldn't control any longer, which soon burst out of him. As he held the bow on one hand and the arrow on the other, his blazing spirit caused the arrow's tip to glow red hot. Heated up, David took aim and fired the arrow at Jasper which miraculously hit, incinerating him.
Keiji was going through the same feeling David felt, and Keiji's strange powers accumulated inside his wrist blasters, which fired out a stun beam strong enough to stun the incinerated Jasper. Stunned, Jasper couldn't move a muscle and Keiji sneaked up on him, draining a bit of his health before Jasper regained his movements and stopped Keiji in time.
"David and Keiji finally unleashed their 'Max' skills; the 'Flaming Arrow' and 'Omega Stunner'......" Eijay murmured to himself. "I must show them the power of my 'Max' skill too.....!" Jasper was expected to be dead after being struck by two 'Max' skills in a row but instead, he was able to stand up and was smiling away. "You call that 'Max' skills? That must be some kind of child's play!" After his sinister laughter ended, more lightning bolts appeared but only Eijay, who seemed willing to be struck, was injured by that attack. "You don't think we would be trick by the same trick, did you?" David said.
"I will try a different trick then!" Jasper grinned cunningly, throwing his staff like a boomerang at the unaware David. David would have been knocked out if not for Tobira who covered him, taking the blow instead and soon passed out. "J....." The word came out of his mouth after Tobira shielded him. "David, snap back to your senses!" Kyo yelled as he swiped Jasper with his gloves while Keiji parried Jasper's following attack with his beam sabre.
Jasper continued to laugh non-stop because all normal attacks weren't affecting him when suddenly several blazing arrows rained down at him, burning him again. "Do you like the taste of my 'Fire Tip' tech?" sneered David. "Out of my way....." Eijay pushed David aside, his palms glowing in crimson-red. "Eijay is attempting to use a 'Max' skill too?" Kyo gasped as Eijay transferred the crimson energy into his sub-machine gun which caused the whole weapon to glow, before he fired blasts of crimson energy at Jasper.
One crimson energy after another hit Jasper and his HP was soon down to 50! "...Time for you to perish...." Eijay mumbled as he steadied his sub-machine gun and fired a whole cartridge of ammo at the injured Jasper but unfortunately Jasper dodged his attack once more. "Didn't I tell you conventional weapons do not work on me?" Jasper did his 'Thunder Bolt' trick again but this time the team were unprepared for it, which finished off both Kyo and Keiji, leaving Eijay and David to fight Jasper......
Day 16 - December 13 :: Two more jewels taken, more to come! |
"It's time we finish this fast." David mentioned to Jasper. "And this last arrow will end it all." David's words confused Eijay and Jasper but it was soon explained when David pulled out a arrow and adjusted it on his bow, before shooting it into the air. "Looks like you missed terribly!" Jasper laughed when all of the sudden he jerked and fell with his face on the ground, revealing an arrow struck on his back.
"........." Eijay stared at the dead Jasper and went over to him, searching his body for something. Within seconds, Eijay found a orangey-red jewel and threw it at David. "The source of power for Jasper's incredible evasion," Eijay explained. "You defeated him so it is yours to keep."
Meanwhile, Rex, Ashton, Hiead, Tai and Gyo were busy fighting against the serious-looking Pearl. Gyo was all out to slash Pearl with his beam sabre, followed by Tai's accurate firing with his shotgun, both attacks taking away around 5,025 HP from her. "The powers of these people, as I predicted were strong." Pearl murmured to herself. "Time for me to heal." Surprising the five RD members, Pearl used the combination of 'Restore' and 'Repeat' tech on herself, restoring 2,000 HP back!
"I predicted that I will win this battle and I have nothing to worry about!" Pearl commented. "And I shall eliminate the one with the beam sabre first!" Pearl muttered some spells and pretty soon, meteors were bombarding Gyo. Skilfully, Gyo nullified all of Pearl's 'Meteor Strike' tech and even reflected some of them back to her, causing another huge sum of damage, approximately 4,700 in total which left Pearl with 175 HP!
Hiead rushed in to take down Pearl but he wasn't accurate enough to stab her with his dagger. "This is to pay you back for calling us vermin!" growled Rex as he plunged his long sword at Pearl right after Hiead missed, but he too couldn't hit the dodging Pearl. Eventually, the final blow was done by Ashton after his 'dragons?' possessed him once more, taking control of the whole situation.
"Whoa...what happened?" Ashton asked, returning back to his true self. "Nothing much....." Gyo replied. "Just that you got possessed, killed Pearl and earned yourself a jewel."
"Hey, you guys alright?" Rock ran towards the group. "I don't know what happened around here, but you guys wouldn't want to miss it! The finals is about to begin!"
Day 17 - December 14 :: Round 4.2: The end of the tourney! |
When Rock and the others reached the battle arena to watch the finals between RD team (B) and SoF team (1), the fight itself had already started and Takamura had managed to get rid of one of Topaz's (the leader of opposing team) hideous beasts with his 'Max' skill; 'Demonic Rift'.
"This don't look good!" Topaz started to panicked. "I just wonder how you ever made it to the finals...." Joseph said as he slashed the remaining beast twice before killing it. "Even Gareas's team was a lot better than this!" Unknown to Joseph, his words struck Topaz, enraging him and forcing him to reveal his full potential as a SoF Jewel Keeper. "I am going to make you take back your words!" From a cowardly fighter, Topaz transformed into a much more powerful person which was hidden inside his weaker side.
"I am going to make you take back your words!" The totally changed Topaz repeated and rushed towards Rydia, slamming his weapon; a broad sword at her. "Slow down a bit, would you?" Rydia snarled as she nullified his attacks and chained counter-attacked him, pulling his HP down to 400!
"This is it!" Rydia yelled as she leaped into the air with her lance on her hand. "Final attack!!!" Rydia dived down towards the shocked Topaz, knocking him out instantly. The crowd almost went wild because the winners were decided when all of the sudden, Topaz stood up. "What the heck, he got 'Teardrop' too?" One of the spectators jeered. "Whew.....what a close shave." Topaz mumbled when he suddenly noticed numerous number of meteors heading at his direction.
"Ahh!!!" was Topaz's last words, and the credits all goes to Joseph who landed the final blow on him. Just after Takamura crushed Topaz with his 'Meteor Strike' tech, Joseph did his infamous Lightning Attack (see previous RD team (B) battles), slaughtering Topaz like there was no tomorrow and besides, it was their last battle in the tourney.
"Way to go!" Nicole cheered from her place in the spectators bench. The RD team had won the tourney and it was time to continue their initial plan; to foil SoF's plans to revive The Unknown Force!
Day 18 - December 15 :: The time has come! |
As the Lost Ruins tourney finally came to an end, the whole RD group regrouped back at the Vulture. As the team planned earlier, it was the time to halt all attempts made by SoF to resurrect the Unknown Force. Before the group proceeded, Tai had to return to his hometown in North Artic to participate in an important celebration. Tai convinced everyone that it was very important to him, thus he left the party during such a time.
Mel decided to tag along with Tai because she hasn't been to North Artic before nor experience a celebration too. "I am going with Mel too." Gareas told the rest his decision as he explained that Mel & Tai might need some help on the way. The party soon splitted into two and agreed to meet back on this island (Lost Ruins). With that, Tai, Mel and Gareas left the main party, taking the Vulture with them.
Some of the members were grumbling about Tai's sudden departure when suddenly, dark clouds covered the skies and huge smog erupted from which seem to be where the destroyed dark temple was. "The ritual ceremony of the revival of the Unknown Force had started!" cried Jusuchi. "It looks like SoF plans to use the destroyed temple as ritual grounds no matter what, we better hurry or else it will be too late to stop them!"
"It is too late already." A beautiful young woman dressed in a somewhat bluish-purple dress replied as she walked towards the RD party. "Although it will make no difference even if you try to stop master SoF."
"You must be another Jewel Keeper working under the notorious SoF!" Rex scorned at the lady. "You are really smarter than you look, 'reptile-boy'. I am Miss Sapphire, the most beautiful Jewel Keeper ever existed!" The lady boasted. "You must be stunned by my charming looks that you don't seem to realise how much time you all have wasted!"
"Rats! You guys go stop SoF while I take care of her!" Rock shouted, showing his fists to Sapphire to indicate that he is challenging her to a duel. "Don't take the honour all for yourself, Rock!" Rex said and joined Rock to defeat Sapphire, with the help of Kyo, Eijay and Tobira too while the remaining few ran off to the direction where the smog came from.
"Hey, I can't let anyone go past me!" Sapphire shouted but Kyo interrupted her, cracking his knuckles. "Forget about them. You will just have to keep us accompany for the time-being."
Day 18 - December 16 :: Terror of the bunnies! |
Previously while on their way to stop SoF in reviving the Unknown Force, the RD party was halted by another SoF Jewel Keeper; Sapphire. Entrusting the rest to take care of SoF, Rock, Rex, Kyo, Eijay & Tobira surrounded Sapphire, forcing her to fight or surrender herself and her jewel.
"I guess I will have to fight." Sapphire inquired. "Time to use my pets..." Before the five RD members knew it, Sapphire threw five rabbit figurine onto the ground, all transforming into human-sized killer bunnies. "I wouldn't mind accompanying you but before I do that, you will have to defeat my cute bunnies." Although most of them were using the latest weapons sold on the RD Weapon Network, Kyo, Rex and not even Eijay could slay one single rabbit.
After receiving injuries from the rabbits' attacks, it was then Tobira managed to be the first one to injure one of the monstrous rabbits. Under so much pressure from the rabbits, Rock did a twelve hit auto combo on all of the rabbits, eventually slaying one of them. The technique which the rest soon realised was Rock's 'Max' skill; 'Deadly Rave Flash'. Rock's attack was then followed by Eijay's 'Max' skill; 'Ruby Light', eliminating another foe.
Already weaken by the last series of attacks by Sapphire's rabbits, Rock and Eijay once again got attacked by the weird fur-balls, and unfortunately each had to use up a 'Teardrop' to keep themselves conscious. After a long and frustrating battle, Kyo slammed his fist onto the last surviving monstrous rabbit's stomach, killing it instantly. "Great job everyone," Sapphire applaud for the weaken party. "And here are more Giant Hares as a reward!"
To everyone's horror, five more monstrous rabbits appeared. "No more hares....." Eijay mumbled, pulling the trigger of his sub-machine gun causing a burst of ammo to penetrate through one of the rabbits. "Four against five now," Tobira commented. "Things are turning for the better now!"
"Don't count on that!" Sapphire snapped and commanded her Giant Hares to strike on the weaken ones, especially Eijay. With just one wave of attack, Eijay lost two 'Teardrop' and Kyo was badly injured. Although it appeared that Sapphire was winning, Kyo turned the tables with his Level 2 'Max' skill; 'Dark Dragon Wave'. With Tobira and Rock's help too, the trio got rid of yet another two nasty rabbits.
With two more rabbits to go, Rex took the initiative to finish the battle, slashing one on the throat with his long sword while the last rabbit pounced on him, but Rex quickly counterattacked, finishing off the last of Sapphire's furry army......
|
Day 18 - December 17 :: An unexpected ally. |
Sapphire tried to run away after all her Giant Hares were defeated and the party tried to stop but Sapphire was too fast for them to catch. Tobira was about to give up when just then, a boy with reddish-brown hair whizzed past them. Holding a beam sabre on his right hand, the youngster stopped Sapphire, before slashing her repeatedly.
As the fallen Sapphire dropped to the ground, a jewel fell out of her dress and the awkward boy picked it up. "Long time no see, Kyo Sanokiya!" The lad pocketed Sapphire's jewel and cheerfully greeted the slightly-shocked Kyo.
"Hiwatari Saisuke," Kyo said in return. "I didn't know you did be on this island. Why didn't you take part in the tournament then?" Saisuke paused for a while before answering. "I just couldn't get anyone to be my team mates, but given my abilities, I might have easily past the first few rounds of the tourney without any help." Saisuke then patted Kyo on the shoulder. "I need to settle some stuffs with Emerald, catch you and your new team mates later."
"Good luck then." Kyo coldly replied and Saisuke waved to him before leaving with a jewel in his hands. "Who is he, an old friend of yours?" asked Tobira. "That guy Saisuke was once a member of RD union like us but quitted when I was dispatched to the his group so I didn't get to interact with him much." Rex explained. "Oh yah, I remembered that too!" Rock added, gaining back some of his past memories and slowly restoring from his amnesia state.
"Saisuke might have grown stronger from his self-training, seeing that he easily took down the SoF Jewel Keeper; Sapphire." Kyo said. "But Sapphire could be a weakling but that doesn't mean we should underestimate him and his skills. Just be caution of Saisuke the next time you see him for we still don't know what's Saisuke up to....." Kyo warned the rest before he and the group proceeded to the destroyed temple to aid the other RD members in the fight against SoF.
At around the same time, only Conoly, Joseph, Nicole and Jusuchi made it to the destroyed temple as Ashton, Rydia, Takamura and a few others were warding off nearby enemies. Outside of the temple was a huge ritual table but there was no sight of any activity. "Where's SoF?" Joseph asked when suddenly Ruby and Emerald appeared out of nowhere and attacked the four.....
