Nall

Post by Nall » Tue Jun 10, 2003 11:07 pm

Nall lied on his back quietly showing no emotion. Gingitsune got up and decided to return to the battle. Armina and Kayin were taking a big risk. They would die if the attacks hit them and it was an unproven theory. Dispite the risks Armina smiled and watched the water come down on her. As soon as the water was about to hit Armina Nall gave a little smirk. The attack stopped in mid air. It verred off towards another group of players. Armina was suprised the answer was actually that easy. But like Gingitsune pointed out, you can't kill it by sitting idily... There had to be something else. Why didn't it attack her? Kayins situation resulted the same. When Kayin stoped the water attacked another target. The players started to realize what was happening but they had no clue why it was happening.

Nall spoke up to everyone, still lying on his back eyes closed.
'There is a trick to the twilight coat... Since players are intimidated by it's power they often miss it. But once you think about it, it makes perfect sense...'
Nall stopped for a moment. The players were going crazy. What did Nall mean? Thankfully Nall began again.
'Think about this for a sec... If you can't touch somthing, can it touch you?'
The players thought about it for a moment as most of them smiled as somthing went off in their head. It was simple yet difficult under all the pressure. Nall had one more thing to say.
'Oh, by the way, Banshaku is invincible, at least to you guys... But if you get rid of Kuja Banshaku will die...'
Nall smiled as he lied down on the ground. The players were somewhat shocked. This was one of the first times Nall actually gave them some real useful information. But it seemed to be cut short. Realizing that Nall had given away the Twilight Robe's secret Banshaku tried to attack viciously removing all the players in one big attack. It formed up around them creating a dome of water over the platform. The players looked up a little intimidated by this. If the only reason why the water wasn't attacking players because it would leave an opening for attack it still could kill them all with one attack and be unharmed. Nall continued to smile though, he seemed to be not afraid of Kuja's tactics at all.

Suddenly it began to shoot super fast blasts of water towards them like the kind that killed the 4 before. 7 blasts were heading towards Nall with amazing speed.
"Ap Do!"
He cried as he suddenly jumped into the air. Time slowed in Nall's mind, it was that state of perfection. However while things around him slowed, himself and his perception didn't. He weaved around 4 of the blasts and hit 2 away with his sword. The last blast exploded into hundreads on mini-blasts and headed right for him. Nall calmly raised his sword as the words
'Vak Slash!'
were emited from his mouth. His sword infused with fire made a mighty sweep across all the blasts removing them from their path. The other players had blasts comming right for them also. Some players managed to dodge, others were hit and had begun to be drained of all their life. Nall landed on the ground and spun around ignoring the new blasts that were begining to come towards them.

'When he is attacking... He is vulnerable to attacks! BiVak Rom!'
Fire errupted around Kuja and for the first time they had seen he was kncoked back onto the ground. Banshaku and all the blasts dropped down below again. Kuja arose very angry and continued to control Banshaku.
'Be careful everyone! Kuja will try harder to kill you guys now that you know his secret! Ola Repth!'

Nall healed the players that were almost drained of all their life. He sprinted over to Vera holding her clothes.
'Here are your clothes if you decide to cover up!'

Nall winked and dashed off again. He came up beside Ruri and Tokki.
'Everyone can contribute, no one is worthless! Regardless of your level, you are still a part of this team!'
A little shocked at how Nall knew this as he wasn't close to them when they said it, Ruri and Tokki didn't even get a chance to say anything back as Nall was off once again.

He was proud of everyone for what they had done. They came a very long way since they first met and were getting even stronger. Dispite letting himself be controled by Royce he remained quite quiet about it. He would deal with that after the fight with Kuja. While Nall wasn't afraid of him it would stile require his full attention to fight him. The other players began to formulate plans to attack Kuja while he was attacking with Banshaku. Only when Banshaku actually hit someone though was Kuja really vulnerable.

Vera stared at Kuja as she listened to Nall "Kuja, I'm sorry!" she said putting the water creature back in its bottle as she and grabbed her wand and quickly rushed to the battle "Nall, if you are right, then good, but if your wrong, my ghost is gonna haunt you!" she said lifting her wand as she used Rai Don on the dragon do it would turn to her "Come on, attack me!" she said as it looked to Nall and the dragon shot an attack at him and Gingi "NO" she yelled as she quickly casted Vak kruz at Kuja and jumped in front of the attack "Hehe, even the smallest attack helps" she said as the attack hit her then Vak Kruz smashed into Kuja actually hurting him

"Vera?! Your back, I think" Ruri said as she saw what Vera had done before Vera went flying backwards from the attack

"Oww, at least I'm not dead again" she said flashing red with her HP at 1 "And at least I hurt him" she said laying on the ground with her eyes closed as she pulled out a Health Drink and restored her HP "This is a very defeating way of defeating someone" she said getting up

The monster in front of Argilus and Rayo swirled back into water and fused with Banshaku. "Seems like it wants all of it's strength now that Nall is up and we actually have a working idea. With our enhanced speed, we should be very helpful." Rayo sped off towards Kuja. She sped along the path as Banshaku shot off one of his blasts. Rayo rolls off to the right, rose, and continued running. "Don't worry Banshaku, I won't run forever, if you aimed it might help though." Rayo finished his thought in his mind, "Just wait till I close in on your master..." Rayo quickened his pace. Rayo waited until he could saw an interesting developement. Kuja was watching Nall doing a speed demon impression around the platform so much that he had not noticed a heavy blade sneak up directly behind him. Asgard seemed to be waiting for a chance to strike. And it was Rayo's job to give him that chance. Rayo shrugged. "They used to say you only live once," he mused. "Nowadays, you die more than once though." Rayo faced the terror Banshaku. GiRai Rom!" Bolts of lightning darted through the sky, landing ontop of the leviathan. "This is the best Kuja could do? A reject water drop. I've thought the copy of me Banshaku made was weak, but Banshaku is even weaker than its copies! This is a waste of my time. Rai Don!" Another blast plummeted from the sky. This attack made another direct hit that failed to do anything but continue to draw Banshaku towards him. "Seems like I might be able to beat it on my own," Rayo boasted. If this did not annoy Banshaku, what would? His answer came quickly as a blast from Banshaku flew towards Rayo's head. Time running out, Rayo performed a spell as the blast made his head burst apart. "La Repth," he uttered as his nearby group members were healed. Rayo's final thought was hoping Asgard made this plan become worthwhile.

Tokki was on the move. Her body ressurected and the secret to Kuja revealed by a newly recharged Nall, she was anxious to repay Kuja for killing her with this hideous monster. A blast of water sped at her from two different sides. Jumping upwards, her feet gracefully soared over the bolts of liquid as she glaive spun in a figure eight in front of her-- slashing the watery balls of power into nothingness upon contact.

Tokki continued her patterns. Jumping and evading the blasts of water, and then repelling some with her weapon. Parrying these blasts took some serious effort, and the momentum behind them sent her back a few steps, putting her further and further away from Kuja. Essentially-- between dodging and advancing she was getting nowhere.

It had come to her attention that her Ap Do had worn off. This was the only explanation. She closed her eyes for a split second and felt for that feeling that covered her entire being when her adrenaline was charged with the spell. It was nowhere. It just wasn't there. She could solve it quickly, however. Having been waiting near Gingitsune after she was revived, a good portion of her SP had been reaccumulated. It was enough to cast Ap Do. After the magical words were spoken, the cataclysmal event sped her body, and she wove in and out of the blasts with relative ease. A blast of water headed at her blind side from the right, but she had already made a move-- reaching her glaive back to spin around in an attacking maneuver at Kuja. As she spun, she saw the blast of water. It would have been too late, but what she witnessed was her knight in shining armor. Or.. Long Arm in shining armor's weapon, saving her once again. Kurai's Treeweaver had extended-- it's vines stretching into the path of Tokki and quickly forming a barrier of thorny vines to repel the attack away from Tokki. Without time to appreciate the assistance, Tokki continued her assault, and shouted "Repulse Cage!" Her glaive slashed hard into Kuja's stomach over and over again, sending his body reeling backwards with force. After her attack, she followed up again with another slash, from which Kuja rolled out of the way, sputtering blood on the ground in the path on which he stood.

"Curse you, girl!" He stood slowly to his feet, and resumed his control of the water, ready to continue this battle with a portion of his HP taken from him once again.

Ruri twirled her wand, she didn't have any SP, but she can at least fight her way against Kuja. She used her wand like a spear and Hit Kuja hard in the head for killing her. She kicked him hard in the stomach while every one else was kicking his butt at the same time. "If only I had another mage soul, I'd shock you with a good bolt of lighting you deserve." Ruri kept using Her wand like a weapon and smacked Kuja again hard in the head. She twirled it a bit, making her moves look a little fancy and then used it to trip Kuja to embrass him and then used her wand to pick him up, then then a back kick, connecting to his stomach. Ruri backed up, so this way she wouldn't be hurt by attacks from the others.

It... it moved! It really moved! Armina couldn't believe it. However that still left them with the problem of how to defeat it. Then she heard Nall's voice. Something about taking out Kuja to get rid of Banshaku.

But how? That was the problem they were having before... all their attacks had been going right through Kuja because of his blasted Twilight Robe!

Suddenly Nall was up, ApDoed & everything. Then he gave them the answer.
Nall wrote:'When he is attacking... He is vulnerable to attacks!'
"We've gotta hit Kuja while Banshaku is attacking us! That's how Kuja is attacking us!" It finally dawned on her... & she was finally back among the fighting unit, ready for action.

"We should split up! Half should fight Banshaku to have it attack us, while the rest or a few focus on Kuja himself!"

"Those already near him, hit him the instant Banshaku moves to attack anyone!"

With that she readied her Berserk Spear & called forth her SP DoubleSweep! Her spear darted in & out of the water, not doing any real damage... but now she had Banshaku's attention. It moved to attack & she prepared to retaliate. "Be ready for it..."

Running as fast as she could she jumped high to try & strike Banshaku at the same time it hit her --a possibly vain attempt to deflect some of the damage she anticipated she would receive. Better her than some of the lower levels though. She might barely survive. "Now!"

Her attack & Banshaku's struck simultaneously. "Whoomff!" Armina could not tell if she was dead or just barely hanging on to life as her body fell through the air towards the hard, unrelenting platform below.

"Ummmph!!!" I must still be alive! At least a little! Ow! That hurt!
She could only hope that it was not all for naught & someone had been able to take advantage of her diversion to attack Kuja.

She gingerly pulled out a health drink... it wouldn't add much to her hitpoints at her level anymore, but it would hopefully keep her from bottoming out from the pain.

Vera continued to take the attacks of the monster in order to allow everyone else to attack "Repth!" she yelled restoring her hp again as she took another blow "Can someone hurry!!" she yelled as she healed herself again and suffered more attacks each time nearly dying

Asgard was totally ready. He saw Tokki and Kurai's tactic and finally understood Nall's plan of action. For Kuja to be revealed, he had to wait for a hit on his party by Banshaku. Just then, he saw Rayo get pulverized by Banshaku's watery rage. The Heavy Blade turned back to Kuja. He was only metres away, trying to stay as still as he could.

In the blink of an eye, Kuja began to materialize. The attack on Rayo was too much for him. He needed to draw his power from somewhere to stay in control.

He was vulnerable.

Asgard muttered "Ap Corv" under his breath, not trying to alerta Kuja. With Ap Do and Ap Vakz still in effect, his Magnifier was at full power. He couldn't miss a shot like this. With his "extensive" water abilities, this attack would be none the sweeter.

"Vak Drive!!!" It was too late for Kuja now. As he was materializing into the real, Asgard used his sword as a pole vault and jumped high into the air. He did a backwards flip in the air and struck Kuja atop the head, dealing a massive amount of damage to the hacker.

Kuja strained in the pain, but was quick to put it out of mind and out of sight. The Heavy Blade could only guess what could come next.

Then it hit him.

Asgard felt a stinging, momentary pain, as a needle point outward, the insertion point being around the upper back. He could feel his life drain away again. He also could see Kuja smirk and sneer as his hp's dwindled away quickly. Kuja was materializing again, open for another attack. Yet he could still act before he perished. But, he didn't want to die again.

"Nall! Now's your chance! End him! Ap Vakz!" He screamed in Nall's direction. The glowing orbs of fire began to emanate around Nall, giving Mayoke's skills a serious boost. He could end this.

But, Asgard faded to black. He wasn't dead, but if Kuja stopped attacking, he could probably cover his hide before Nall could get to him. Again, the Heavy Blade laid face up, looking at the sky.

"You are weak and it will be proven!!!" he heard in his mind.

I concur, Asgard thought, Have a nice trip in the afterlife, Kuja...

OOC: Heh, look at what happens when you can’t get on for one day. Stupid internet being down…

Kodels idea had fizzled, but now they knew his real weakness, and Kuja was suddenly desperate and on the defensive. His secret out, his had suddenly taken the gloves off. The water monsters suddenly took more lethal shapes, and in larger number, in addition to the remaining water dragons.

“When he’s attacking, he’s vulnerable to attacks!” Kodel smirked. It had been simple after all. He had just looked in the wrong direction. Now it was time for restitution. The entire party swooped in like hawks, tearing at the hacker as he tried to fend them off with his creations, suddenly buffeted on all sides, afraid to attack for fear of losing his invulnerability.

Kodel blinked at the crowd that had suddenly enveloped the hacker. He turned to face the water goblins that suddenly found themselves without opponents. Kuja had to be attacking, or at least his creations had to be, for his invulnerability to go down.

Kodel shrugged, suddenly breaking into a run for the liquid monsters. A long, sliding swipe slashed completely through one of the monsters, the cut instantly resealing as his blade passed through the things body. He cursed under his breath. These things were as unbeatable as the rest of the water monsters.

The one he had attacked suddenly swung at him, cutting him across the arm.

Doesn’t seem to stop them from attacking though, he thought.

He raised his blade to the ready. So long as he concentrated on defense though, most of the attacks should miss him.

He brought his sword right to block another cross slash. He almost gaped as the blade split and rolled across his sword edge, reforming past his guard. He barely managed to dodge, by dropping to his knees, dipping his head low, feeling the water sword cut the air right where his neck had been a moment ago. He rolled back and to the right, moving out of its range, coming back to his feet. He sheathed his sword, as it had become pretty much useless against these enemies, but he could at least concentrate on dodging the attacks entirely.

Suddenly, one of the plumes of water appeared in front of him, the water dragon still maintaining its presence. Suddenly, the head of the thing dissolved, if such a word could describe what it was doing. Its head melted, elongating into a sharp point, a lance by the look of it.

Kodel blinked. That kind of weapon may be fast, but its still only water. He suddenly regretted that thought, as the head of the column suddenly crystallized, a spear point of ice now residing at the lances tip.

He turned to shout a warning “Watch out! Kuja’s got another trick up his…”

He never finished. He felt his body jolt from an impact, losing all the felling in his legs, suddenly warm and cold, with what felt like water running down his back. He turned his head looking down. The column of water jutted from his chest, the water of its body now strained through with thick wisps of red, as his blood mixed with the thing. The lance head ripped out of him, and he fell to his knees, the gaping hole in his chest spraying blood across the stone in front of him. He couldn’t even scream, as his lungs had been crushed. He raised his head to look at his killer. The ice portion of the column suddenly curved into a wicked sickle, which reared back for the coup de grace.

He watched as the weapon suddenly streaked towards him, his eyes fluttering shut. His last thought as determined as ever:

Guys, please kill that son o-
"Goodness for the most part is an illusion... Little fables people tell themselves so they can get through their days without screaming to much."

"No!"

Kurai yelled at the top of his lungs, as he swung the Treeweaver in a downwards arc. It slashed the tip of the ice sickle, ready to end Kodel's life. The sickle started to shatter, as it headed still toward the Blademaster. Kurai swung the weapon once again, and the rest aimed at Kodel shattered into thousands of tiny pieces.

Kodel's eyes fluttered open, to see Kurai staring him in the face. He only smiled hastily, as he held out his hands towards Kodel's wounds. Kurai spoke: "Repth" and Kodel's hit points started to rise. His wounds started o quickly heal themselves, as if it was sped up...

Kodel looked to Kurai, as if he was about to say something - but Kurai was already on the offensive against the Bankashu. He slashed his spear tip in a figure of a twin blade, and it started to waver. Kurai hopped back, and batted away a few long spikes of water. More and more kept coming, and Kurai had to keep retreating in order to stop the enemy. He hda jsut hoped the others were making that time useful...

Kurai slid his foot back, and he felt the edge of the platform. He slashed off a few more water spikes, but he wasnt focusing on those anymore. His ears picked up to the large rushing sound behind him. As he fended off the last two water spikes, he started to dash once again to the other side. He looked to the ground in front of him, and he could see the watery shadow, looming above him, as the water beast crashed behind him, trying to consume the Long Arm.

Right now... Kurai thought to himself, I really do wish I had Ap Do... Kurai ran as fast as he could, knowing behind him was some large form of water, ready to drain his life. Kuria looked ahead, and he was alread almost on the other side. His eyes narrowed, and a plan of action formed in his head. He leaped forward, almost in the form of a dive. As he neared the platform, he rolled into a somersault, and spun on his knees as he stood up.

Kurai pushed the Treeweaver forward, as the large rush of water comsumed him. It pushed him backward, trying to force him off the ledge. It also began to drain his Hit points, slowly at first. Kurai attempted to push the Treeweaver even farther, to try and part the water as it rushed off the ledge. All it really got him was lots of strain. He closed his eyes, and prayed for the best. He pushed harder and harder, and then he felt the water flow lessen. He opened his eyes, and The Treeweaver had changed. It was growing, like a tree. It had sprouted a bunch of branches, and there was leaves growing off every branch. They must have been slowing down the water flow.

Vera quickly took this chance to make herself decent as she grabbed the clothes from Nall and put them on "There now, I'm decent" she said as she watched another ice spear head towards Ruri "Vak Kruz!" she yelled as it melted the ice in time "Watch out everyone!" she yelled as she rushed forward and took defensive for them

"Good your back to normal" Ruri said as Vera nodded

"I'm fine, Vak Kruz!" Vera said melting more ice as it came "But this is getting tiring"

The group continued their assualt as they weakend Kuja more and more as Vera tryed her best to keep the attacks from killing them "Keep it up, not much longer!" Tokki yelled as Vera nodded

"I don't know how much longer, I only have enough SP for one more" she said as the ice ran quickly towards her smashing into her wand and sending it flying "Ahh, guys, shit, I lost my wand kinda!" she said as another ice spear came "Its not my wand with it, its my wrist gera" she said remember that as she held out her hand "Vak Kruz!" she yelled melting the ice "Ok, I'm out, It'll be a min before I have enough to use it again" she as another one head for her "Down!" she said pushing everyone over as it speared through her clothes and lifted her up "Yay, I'm alive" she said as another spear was aimed for her face "Ahh, crap!" she said staring at it

Gingitsune grinned widely at the new turn of events, Kuja's secret had been revealed and everyone's vindictive side had been opened towards the hapless hacker.
She watched as the fury and pain of her group was collected into an amazine force that rained down up Kuja like a steel hail, hitting him at every angle.
She decided to join in the fun, though she'd already had her fill of revenge against the powerful Royce, and had only barely survived it to win. She watched the beautiful attack moves of her teammates, and also noted the sacrifices of those who decided to act as decoy to the potent Banshaku and his watery fury.

"Tick tock, tick tock Kuja-san, your time seems to be running out, and it seems that in the world of hackers you truly are subpar, atleast Melzas and Royce had their own power to rely on, as we easily saw, you only have a scrap of cloth and some tricks... tsk tsk, You must have made a good lackey, or minion, no?"

She joined into the fray, timing her movements along with Banshaku's furious assault, putting herself at a farther distance from the other fighters, but close enough to find openings for attack in between the parries and blows that the weaponed fighters were dealing him.
Her SP was almost full, she had saved it all up as she usually did, not really a team player- she usually put more importance into attack than defense, and preferred to attack than to heal.
Gingitsune's eyes flickered as they followed each move of her team mate, looking for a small opening here and there where a spell could be cast, and finally found it as two combatants parted...

"MaRUE ZOT!" the attack erupted powerfully from her wand, and Kuja could not dodge it as Royce had, facing the attack head on.
It sent him flying back, his teeth gritted into a malignant sneer, his eyes betraying all there was of his fear and pain now that he was vulnerable.

Suddenly Gingitsune felt the wave of Banshaku's attack approaching her like a tidal wave, and since she was farther away from Kuja than the others, she was also vulnerable. As Banshaku came nearer Gingitsune tried to evade it, hopping sideways as the tendrils of water grazed her side for her impudence at attacking Kuja. Gingitsune moved again, fleeing to the side, but as she did so she felt a long, shockingly sharp tendril run itself through her calf, and felt the rush of new blood.
"DAMN IT!" Gingitsune hissed, and finally managed to evade the creature, rolling away from the attack, and stopping a tendril with a sharp parry of her Dark History.

She healed herself quickly and went back to Kuja, the monster had been distracted again, and she was no longer in danger. Another scrap of her now pathetic shawl went to tying up her new wound.

She saw now that Kuja was weakening significantly under the blows, and cast another attack spell at him, setting him even farther back...
She grinned toothily, Maybe Nall wants a bit of revenge, perhaps we should let him finish him off, true that Royce was his controller, but he didn't get his chance then, might as well let him have a little fun with this tormentor.

Nighthand had been left out of most of the recent events, but he decided to join in with the attack on kuja. he was already weakened under the blows of the rest of the party. he looked for an opening to attack, but there was nothing. the others all had him covered, leaving no place where he could get in without disrupting everything. se he decided to make himself a target for the wate3r monster, to help kuja lose his invulnerability.

he ran in the opposite direction as the rest of the party. he chased after one of the surviving tentalces of water that was left over from the massive attack on nall. it seemed that the creatures that were seperate from the main bulk of the water didn't leave kuja helpless, so he ignored the goblins. he went after the tentacle.

at first, without the direct control of kuja, is formed into an axe blade and dove for him. but right when it was about to get in range of a good attack, kuja noticed it and pulled it back. nighthand jumped, but it was too fast and kept out of range. the nighthand went for the main bulk of the water.

it was a major glob of water sitting on the platform, hanging slightly off the edge to keep in contact tiwht the rest of the ocean. he ran for it, slashing as he went.

when he reached the edge, it pulled back, trying to stay away from his blade, saving kuja from pain. unfortunatly for him, the water wasn't fast enough. his blade scratched the water, and it immediatly countered. when it did, kuja became vulnerable, and was hit by several slashes from the party.

then the water tried a different tactic. it formed into a small stream, and flowed over to where kuja sat.

"HAHAHAHA! you cannot hurt me, if you cannot get to me!!"

the streamer of water surrounded him and formed a dome, encasing him in a bubble of protection. whenever on of the party tried to get in close, it shot out spikes and sliced at them. it didn't have to hold back, because kuja was inside it.

then nighthand came to the rescue.

there was still a small streamer of water connecting the dome to the rest of the water, still near where nighthand was. he watched, and when another of his friends attacked, he struck the streamer.

immediatly, several things happened.

first, the dome collapsed. then, the main bulk of water struck out at nighthand. at the same time, the party swooped in at kuja, when he was defenseless.

nighthand parried the water's strike, but kept himself in a postiton where it could keep attacking him. this kept kuja vulnerable, and the myriad of slashes kept him distracted.

(OOC: We'll say Asgards post came just before mine cause it makes better sense that way :D)

The others were now taking out their anger on the newly vulnerable Kuja. They have had anough of his dirty tricks and silly coat. Attack after attack Kuja was hit and his life was draining. Not even the life drain of the players that were sacraficing themselves was enough to keep him from losing his strength. Kuja was now helpless. He hadn't planned on Nall being alive for this fight, he had hoped that the players would have killed Nall and lost his knowledge of the twilight robe. However this was not the case and Nall was up with the rest fighting to take out Kuja. Nall had his own reasons for wanting to take out the hacker and he wasn't going to waste the opportunity. He smiled at Gingitsune, letting him get all the fun of killing Kuja but Nall would have taken that opputunity anyways. Gingitsune was pretty beat up but she was still standing and fighting.

'Damn shes tough... She's almost got as much stamina as me...'
Nall said under his breath as he continued to watch the fight unfold. The time had come. He noticed Asgards attack on the very weak Kuja almost eliminating his hit points. In doing so he was entangled by Banshaku but that also left Kuja open for an unusually long amount of time. Nall began to run forward, infused with the speed of Ap Do he was barely visable. His body began to feel his blood boil as the red aura of Ap Vakz surrounded him. Drawing his sword he stared down Kuja with a powerful glare. Kuja had just enough time to see his enemy approaching. Nalls Mayoke burst into flames as the words "VAK SLASH!" were called. Nall had just enough time to see the fear in Kuja's eyes before his sword ripped trough his body sending him flying backwards. Nall wasn't done yet though. With his amazing speed he caught up with the flying Kuja and grabbed him by the neck driving him to the ground.

'I won't let you get away like Melzas!'
Kuja tried to gate out but he couldn't. He looked back at Nall saying nothing.
'It won't work, I'm the one who placed the barrier on this feild preventing everyone from gating out, not Royce!'
Kuja tried one last desperate attempt to hurt Nall with Banshaku but the water would not come as Kuja called it. Nall whispered into his ear so no one else could hear.
'Your powers are gone... They're mine now!'
Kuja's eye's widened realizing what was to become of him. Nall's eye's lit up a bright red as he smiled menicingly. An explosion of light came from where the two were on the ground blinding all the players.

When their eyesight returned Nall was standing there and all that was left of Kuja was his cloak... The players were shocked. What did Nall do? Whatever it was it wasn't a normal attack. Nall was smiling though, Kuja was gone and the water that once was banshaku returned to normal. Nall bent down and picked up the cloak and walked over the exhausted group.
'You all fought well... Very well! I'm proud of all of you and especially the newcommers, you handled yourselves well! This cloak will be usful to us in the future, for now though since no one can use it I'd better hold onto it...'
The players gave a little nod to show they sort of understood. They had many many questions and were about to ask some but Nall turned his back. The more experienced players knew that he wouldn't talk about it while they were on a feild. The only time he would talk was when they were in his secret hideout and even then it was rare.

'Since you guys were transported to fight Kuja before you were able to get the keys I'll have to go get them now. You all stay here and heal and stuff while I go get them. I wont be long!'
With that Nall hoped off and jumped over the side of the platform. The players eye'd him like he was a psycho. Wouldn't he die if he went off the platform? They shrugged it off though since Nall always seemed to know what he was doing and began to talk amongst themselves as they healed. It was one tough fight and they were glad it was over.

OOC:nall said to post like we're just talking about stuff after the fight

ramza gasped, the fight was finally over. as everyone finished recovering, nall could be seen going to retrieve the keys. ramza walked around looking for nighthand, when a strange looking, tall man with short, silvery hair walked into him.

"hello," said ramza, "are you from the other group cant say ive seen you before..."

"actually yes, however, u have seen me. many times actually, we are quite good friends, i didnt think u would recognize me, i had a little run in with some cold water. ya like?"

ramza gasped in shock, yet the new look wasnt bad. "nighthand? cool, i actually do like it, it looks more...ummm.......not mysterious than your long black hair....?" as ramza looked at this new figure and tried to understand, or gras what had happened, nighthand chuckled softly under his breath.
