Shadow Fire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Zidane gave one of his heart melting smiles to Vivi, before turning as he heard Steiner's stammering. "...L-Lindblum..." he mumbled. "Yes, to Lindblum." Zidane raised an eyebrow in interest. "That's convenient!" he exclaimed. "Did you ask someone?" Steiner's eyes widened, before he took a breath. "Th-The old man in the shack told me!" he lied. "So it must be true!" The blond's eyes narrowed slightly. "Are you sure?" he murmured. "You're acting strange..."

Sollux Captor Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Vivi lifted his head as he looked towards the fields, as he tugged Zidane's arm. "Something's coming this way!" They all looked over, only to find a very tall black mage had appeared, wearing a long blue robe, and a pair of dark blue wings on it's back. It zipped around the group very quickly, causing Vivi to hide against Zidane, the look in its eyes rather frightening. "Princess Garnet, the queen is waiting for you at the castle!"

Shadow Fire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Zidane narrowed his eyes dangerously, stepping in front of Vivi as if to protect him. "So..." he growled out. "You were all sent by the castle!?" Steiner glared at Zidane in suspicion. "What?" he demanded. "What are you talking about!?" Zidane still kept his gaze on the tall mage, his tail poised as if to say he was ready for battle. "You were all unconscious from the blizzard..." he explained. "He said he was a Black Waltz!"

Sollux Captor Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Vivi looked up at Zidane as he stood in front of him as if to protect him from the cruel eyed mage. No. 2 seemed to set its eyes on Zidane. ""Are you the one who defeated No. 1? I am Black Waltz No. 2! My power, magic, and speed make me far superior to No. 1! Resistance is futile! Come, Princess. The queen awaits!" "No! I will not return to the castle." "Come with me, or you'll regret it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 At this, Steiner moved forward and held his sword out, shielding the princess. "Wait!" he boomed. "I, Steiner, shall escort the princess back to the castle!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 "Kee hee hee! You think I care? I won't let you stand in the way of my mission!" No. 2 seemed to teleport over, sending a physical attack in Steiner's direction, which he barely faltered from. Vivi pulled out his staff, and did his best to concentrate, as he summoned his magic. "Blizzard!" His ice magic lashed forward, hitting No. 2, who seemed... almost furious about it. "You call that a Blizzard?! Take this! Blizzara!" The giant ice attack had spikes lashed out as it slammed into Vivi rather hard as he fell over onto the ground, barely able to move. His limbs felt cold since the ice was prickling against his skin. "Vivi!" Dagger cried, trying to help him. "I don't need a little brat like you getting in our way anymore. Don't worry, princess. The child will be out of the way soon, as well as the two here."

Shadow Fire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Share Posted October 10, 2011 Zidane clenched his teeth together and balled his hands into fists. "You made a big mistake..." he growled. "Now, I will kill you myself...!" He began to glow, once again in Trance as he helped Vivi up with a Hi-Potion. "Vivi..." he said, his voice seeming to echo. "Remember what I taught you..."

Sollux Captor Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Vivi looked at him, before giving a small nod, and carefully melted the ice away from his arms, as the princess healed him back to better health. "Steiner, are you ready?" Vivi called over, summoning a blizzard spell which began to surround his sword. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 From within his Trance, Zidane smiled towards Vivi. Empower yourself, Vivi... Scream at the Black Waltz as you attack. Steiner rushed in to attack, dealing a hefty blow to the taller mage, watching afterwards as Zidane attacked with everything he had. The knight raised an eyebrow. It would seem that this ruffian has become a little protective of Master Vivi. Once again, he has Tranced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Vivi did his best to focus, as a trail of energy began to surround him, as fire appeared around him much stronger than before, as he threw his staff into the air. "FIRA!" He shouted into the air, a look of shock appearing on the Black Waltz's face as he found the young one had used that kind of spell so early... what was he? No. 2 had no time to think about it as the flames swallowed him, burning away at the wings that were on his back, as he soon fell limp to the ground, clothing burned and its red eyes beginning to fade. "W...Why..." All it could say before it evaporated in a similar way that No. 1 had done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadow Fire Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Steiner widened his eyes and shook his head fervently. "It can't be!" he protested. "There is no reason to trust the words of some bandit. He was just another criminal, scheming to use the princess for some evil deed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 "Have I not been careful enough...?" Dagger asked, looking over at the older male. "..." Vivi stayed quiet, seeming a little distracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Steiner glanced at Dagger, giving a sad smile. "Princess..." he said in a comforting voice. "Your noble upbringing cannot be disguised so easily." "That's not true at all!" Zidane immediately interrupted. "You haven't been watching. Dagger is trying really hard. You're the one with the problem! Walking around, yelling 'Princess!' everywhere..." Ignoring Steiner's indignance, the tailed boy turned to Dagger. "Now, Dagger..." he continued. "About the border crossing..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 "Yes?" Vivi glanced over as Zidane suggested that they take the ship in order to get to Lindblum. "Sure, Lindblum should not be terribly far by airship! I mean... 'won't be too far.' But why don't we get some rest before we go?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Zidane glanced around, and then to Vivi, before shaking his head. "We can rest on the airship..." he said softly.

Sollux Captor Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Dagger nodded gently. "Yes. That would be a good idea." Vivi looked up, trying to perk up a bit, but it was failing.

Shadow Fire Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Steiner piped up, seeming to stammer. "Y-yes!" he proclaimed. "I-I shall go ask them!" Zidane put his hands on his hips. "Oh, really..." he said in slight amusement. "How come?" Steiner shifted his glance to the princess, before staring back at Zidane. "I-It is not for your benefit!" he claimed. "I am only doing this for the princess!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Dagger blinked in confusion as she watched Steiner run off towards the ship. "Steiner... He was so adamant about going back to the castle before... An airship full of barrels like the ones I saw at the castle... Steiner was against going...Zidane, is this ship really headed for Lindblum?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Zidane gave an amused grin at Dagger's question. "No..." he chuckled, shaking his head. "It'll probably take us straight to Alexandria Castle." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Dagger seemed to panic as she heard that. "But why...? Didn't you just say we should get on the ship?" A visible pout had appeared as she heard him to trust him. They had come this far, how would boarding a ship meant for Alexandria get them to Lindblum? "...Zidane." Vivi's voice had finally found him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sollux Captor Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 "Those dolls they were making underground... Did you think they look like me?"
