Sollux Captor Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Vivi looked at him, clutching his hands together. If Zidane didn't believe he was like them... then he must be right. All of a sudden, they jumped as they found the ship had begun to start up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Zidane, Vivi and Dagger had boarded, and sometime later, Zidane had spoken to Steiner, who informed him he would be executed. Indifferent, Zidane merely headed towards the bridge. As he did, Steiner seemed to ponder to himself. "At last!" he said. "Queen Brahne is sure to be pleased. However...the princess would have been left behind without the thief's aid. I shall petition for a life sentence on his behalf. Yes, that would be the honorable thing! But that was because the crew wouldn't listen! I must run a background check on them. Ah, yes. It is my duty as a knight!" Suddenly, the ship began to shake. Zidane was altering course. Meanwhile, another Black Waltz noticed the course change and glared after the ship, before heading off towards it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Vivi had lost his balance, as he fell onto the ground, his back have ended up against the window, as he looked down, only to get a really good eyeview of the ground he couldn't see through the mist, as he gasped out in fear. Dagger went over, and held him up, suggesting they go up to the deck so he wouldn't see the ground so easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Suddenly, the Black Waltz flew down, and with a sinister cackle, cast a spell down towards Vivi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 "No!" Vivi cried out in fear, seeing the winged being like before, as he was hit by a electric shock, knocking him over. Dagger hurried back over at the sight behind her, as she knelt down beside the young mage. "Vivi! Are you okay?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Landing on the deck, the larger mage narrowed its eyes at Vivi. "So, No. 2 was defeated by a small child!" it growled. "You are no match against my power! Kwahahaha! Princess, stay there while I eliminate this child!" Suddenly, the other Black Mages walked in front of Vivi, staring defiantly, yet silently at the Black Waltz. "Are you protecting him?" it demanded, an amused tone to its voice. "...Nonsense. You are no different from mindless dolls! What can you do?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Dagger quickly grabbed Vivi and pulled him away. "Wait!" Vivi cried, wanting to help the other mages, as he was pulled into the control room with Zidane and Steiner. Vivi struggled against Dagger's grip, obviously scared. "Stop them, please! They're gonna die!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 It happened too quickly. Black Waltz #3 glared daggers at the other mages. "Get out of my way!" it hissed. "Do you dare to fight a Black Waltz? I said, get out of my way!" The Black Waltz began firing lightning magic at the mages, killing them one by one, the mages making no sound as their lifeless bodies flew from the airship. Zidane and Steiner looked on in horror. "No..." Steiner gasped. "Wh-What cruelty!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Vivi was shaking in Dagger's grip, tears bubbled up in his golden eyes. He soon let out a scream, and raced onto the deck, barely hearing Steiner's call to assist him as he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Zidane gave a determined look, calling out after Vivi and Steiner. "Hey, you guys!" he called, before turning to Dagger. "Dagger! We'll take care of the Black Waltz. You steer the ship. Things are gonna get even more dangerous from here on. It's not too late to turn back. You can go back to the castle or cross South Gate into Lindblum. It's your choice!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Dagger listened to him, giving a soft nod, before she picked herself up. "Okay." She watched as Zidane ran towards the front of the ship, yelling he would be fine when she told him to be careful. Vivi was shaking a bit as he was in front of the taller mage, a anger mixed with sadness expression in his eyes. "How could you do such a horrible thing?! Weren't they your friends?!"

Shadow Fire Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Black Waltz #3 seemed amused. "You fool..." it laughed. "Do I look like some lowly black mage soldier?" Steiner scowled, holding his sword out. "Even if they weren't your allies..." he growled out. "What you did was reprehensible!" The enemy mage laughed again, a cruel laugh. "Kwahahaha!" it cackled. "Worry not about them: many more are being produced even now!" Coming to a stop next to Vivi, the blond glared at the taller mage. "You..." he hissed. "What are you?" Black Waltz seemed pleased with the crowd that had gathered before him. "Ah, the princess's bodyguards have gathered!" it purred. "How very convenient!" Zidane however, was very agitated. "Answer me!" he snarled. "Now!" The Black Waltz snickered, forming a battle stance. "It wouldn't do you any good if I answered..." it replied. "...since you're all going to die! Kwahahaha! I will eliminate any who stand in my way!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 A spark of light appeared around Vivi, before it slowly began to envelope him, before a surge of white-blue energy surrounded him, his appearance seeming to change. In front of them was Vivi in a more straightened up mage outfit which was illuminating in the Trance's light, his usually floppy hat having straightened up like the mages they had seen before. He pointed his staff in the direction of No. 3. "I won't let you get away with what you did!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 14, 2011 Author Share Posted October 14, 2011 Seeing the pain and anguish in Vivi's eyes, Zidane let out his own growl, before once again starting to glow red, fur reappearing over his body. As he and Vivi attacked, Steiner watched in interest. ...and yet again. This thief is quite the enigma... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Vivi lifted his staff, as a giant collection of lightning seemed to surround it, as he pointed it forward at the mage in his sight of revenge. "THUNDARA!" The lightning attack crashed into the winged being, the sound of thunder seeming to go off as it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 With Zidane and Vivi's combined attacks, it didn't take long for the Black Waltz to slump to its knees, defeated. "Yo... You scum...!" it hissed. "I exist only to kill!" With those words said, it took to the air and flew away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Vivi was slightly distracted while Steiner was whining about how many other mages they would have to fight, and Zidane managed to calm him down. He found himself walking over to where one of the hats of the mages was hanging as he was staring at it, not really feeling accomplished about what happened, since all the mages that tried to protect him were sent off towards their 'deaths' below.

Shadow Fire Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Zidane joined Vivi, placing a hand on his shoulder and giving a slight smile. Before he could say anything, he suddenly noticed the South Gate, which gave access to Lindblum. She's gonna go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sollux Captor Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Vivi looked over as Zidane headed back towards the cabin, as he continued to watch the hat, offering silent prayers to the mages that got hurt and fell off the ship just to help him.

Sollux Captor Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 "That, I did see!" The two of them were obviously upset that the three Black Waltz had been defeated. "Betrayed us, Steiner did! It is all his fault!" Thorn hissed angrily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Fire Posted October 18, 2011 Author Share Posted October 18, 2011 Zorn, equally angry, suddenly blinked. "Huh?" the jester murmured, letting go of the steering wheel. "No. 3 is coming back!" Sure enough, Black Waltz #3 was flying towards them, hissing angrily. "I exist only to kill! I exist only to kill! I exist only to kill! I exist only to kill...!"
