Characters: Rydia, Edge, Tidus, Eiko
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: Defeating the Water Guardian, Kraken, and placing the Water Mirror.
Location: Water Shrine
Date: August 1, 1804
Warnings: Violence
Notes: Particulars for the event may be found here.
Off the west coast of the Forgotten Continent, the airship soared, with nothing in sight but the endless blue ocean. On and on the water stretched, with no sign of land, not even the tiniest island with a single palm tree. Yet onward they flew until at last there was a rock. A sharp, jagged spike of dark rock jutting up from the ocean floor, surrounded by a swirling whirlpool of water. At the base of the rock was a cave opening, just tall enough for an average man to walk through.
This was the site. "We're here!" One of the knights called to the valiant heroes about to face off the Guardian of the Water Seal. "Give 'em hell, eh? Ah, my apologies, Lady Eiko." He'd clean forgotten the child was present with this party. The airship descended, touching down on the only bare and dry patch of land available. Not much bigger than a postage stamp in the pilot's opinion.
From here, the party exited the ship with well wishes from the knights who took the airship back into the skies to wait. What lay before was the damp aperture of the cave. The approach was mossy and stony, and yet tendrils of ivy curled at the edges, and delicate bursts of colors from flowers. A wall of water swirled around the site, and could easily submerge the cavern entirely, should the gravity pull of the whirlpool ever stop.

He was taken by surprise the immediate lobs of water that came crashing from the depths of the cave. It was only his ninja toned reflexes that spared him great injury as he quickly raised a katana to deflect the onslaught, only to be doused by the dispersed water.

That was the way it had to be. Before they could go any further, she used her rod to give them all Protect and Shell. If Eiko wanted to layer on any other buffs, she was welcome, but Rydia knew the young girl needed to conserve her magic as much as possible, for the inevitable healing that would be needed.

Date: 2010-08-02 02:54 pm (UTC)Without further ado, Eiko marched ahead into the shrine, only to find one of the traps in the floor. It rose up in the air underneath her, threatening to squash the child against the cavern's top. She ran and jumped off the far edge, and only once her feet left the elegantly carved flooring, it lowered to the ground again. "Don't dawdle or you'll get squished!"

Date: 2010-08-03 08:59 am (UTC)Just in time to see the giant ice bullet shooting straight at him.
"Look out!" he yelled, dashing ahead as quick as he could and grabbing Eiko by the back of her shirt to pull her along. Proprieties be damned, they needed to get the hell out of that tunnel before any of them got creamed. As he ran, Tidus concentrated himself and brought up an old skill of his that had followed him from Spira - Cover. He'd take the damage for his other party members; he was built for it, after all.

Date: 2010-08-03 11:02 pm (UTC)Cover? Did all these guys feel the need to jump in front of him and take a hit? First Cecil and now Tidus. Rather than get aggravated, Edge just grinned and shook it off.
"So where exactly is this so called guardian?" He was itching to get this battle started!

Date: 2010-08-04 05:52 pm (UTC)Once they were clear of the ice bullet, the green-haired summoner immediately looked to Tidus. "Are you alright?" She was interested in the answer to Edge's question, but first things first.

Date: 2010-08-05 10:00 am (UTC)Once clear of the tunnel, Tidus stopped to shake his head and get his brain back together after the mad dash - fortunately no one had gotten hit, but the real fight was only just beginning. Tidus turned and grinned at the girls, giving them a thumbs up and reassuring them at the same time. "No problem! Gotta be good for something, right?"
Ahead of them lay the shrine itself and the pedestal for the mirror. Where this guardian was, he didn't know, but he was ready to take a few whacks at it.
"Ready?"

Date: 2010-08-06 04:09 am (UTC)She glanced to Eiko, then nodded to Tidus. "Ready." She didn't reach for her whip, intending to use her magic as soon as they saw the Water Shrine guardian.

Date: 2010-08-07 04:06 am (UTC)Eiko glared at the monster, goaded into action without waiting for the boys at all. Rather than summon, she cast Holy on it. "I'm here to beat you up again. Take that!"

Date: 2010-08-11 03:25 am (UTC)While Eiko was ok for a kid, he was still more concerned about the sexier summoner and planted himself safely in front of her.

Date: 2010-08-13 02:36 am (UTC)Eiko screwed up her face at getting hit with the wet spell. Fighting soggy always stunk. Now she remembered why her and Dagger had hated this place so much. Her solution was to cast Regen on the whole party and leave the offensive moves to those who had them.

Date: 2010-08-14 07:08 am (UTC)"Edge! Get those things!" he yelled, shifting his shield further up his arm and taking aim at the main body of the Lich again. This time it was a slice and dice as he pulled off moves that Edge would probably like to claim as his own, flipping completely head over feet to bring his sword slamming down.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-14 03:23 pm (UTC)A look of satisfaction show as he watched one of the heads splash into a puddle. "That good enough for you."
A tentacle he hadn't seen slipped through his defenses and tripped him. He was a little worried until he felt the warm glow of Regen revitalize him as he prepared his defenses.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-14 03:54 pm (UTC)The guardian was definitely hurting now, though of course it was far from done with them. A tentacle reached for Rydia next, smacking her in an attempt to knock her off her feet. She staggered back...just in time to get hit with a blast of Water.
l-late!
Date: 2010-08-17 01:26 pm (UTC)It's okay bb <3
Date: 2010-08-18 11:14 am (UTC)And that may have been tempting fate - because the next attack was a Freeze attack, and as the damage sponge it went straight for him. The blitzer froze, literally, in place, a perfect statue of ice paused in mid-running step. He hadn't learned the skill to prevent that - something he'd be fixing quickly after this fight was over - and needed to be thawed out. Quickly.

Awww.
Date: 2010-08-19 12:23 am (UTC)Well. It was nice to see the ninja's protectiveness being channeled to productive ends. Rydia watched Edge's very effective Blitz attack take place with some pride, but Tidus needed help and she couldn't ignore that. Quickly, she cast a low-level Fire spell at him, hoping that would snap him out of it.
Amy said to skip her
Date: 2010-08-19 10:17 am (UTC)"Let's finish it!" he yelled, jumping to kick off the balustrade of the shrine's walkway and plow straight into the Kraken with all the force of his body behind his sword.

Date: 2010-08-19 11:14 pm (UTC)A quick glance towards the summoners was all the attention Edge could spare them before readying himself for any possible retaliation from Kraken.
