She Wants to Rule the World

[kursetheseeds.livejournal.com]

Characters: Ultimecia and anybody looking for a fight
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: The heroes have come to slay the Sorceress
Location: Plains of Lindblum
Date: September 1st, 1804
Warnings: Fighting. Pain. Possibly gore. Maybe more stuff, we'll see.

On the plains outside Lindblum, a war awaited. Another part of the war already being raged at the city - the leader of it all, the architect of this chaos, the one who desired nothing more than a world without anyone, a world to herself. A place where she could be alone, unbothered and unpersecuted.

She'd been denied that. She'd been denied Time Compression, and for now was settling for the best way to rid the world of insufferable crawling nuisances - sheer, outright massacre. The city would fall, the center of life on this world, and she would expand outward to greater distances.

Terra was likewise focused on protecting Relm, remaining at a distance with the girl while Celes closed in on the Sorceress. She trusted in the Regen cast to help Relm recover, though, and hovered nearby while charging up the energy for another magical attack....

Tifa started off at Cloud's side, but when the quake hit she tumbled away from him, enduring the effects of the spell until the rumbling subsided and she could get to her feet again.

She had to get close to Ultimecia. Her whole fighting style depended on it. So she chased after the others, charging in to throw a punch at the Sorceress.

And the Sorceress simply laughed at all their pathetic attacks - to think that they would be able to take her on, the Mistress of Time, the one with the power to control their destinies.

Her form faded from where she stood, quickly reappearing a good ten feet to the left of where she'd begun. "You think you can defeat me, me! The destroyer of SeeD, the konqueror of the world!"

Another gesture, and a large, violent Tornado was speeding across the battlefield, not touching its mistress but sweeping along all else in its path, including a few mage hats that had flown back to her position.

She was just beginning.

"We don't think; we know."

But that was all Celes allowed herself to say before she was forced to dig her feet into the ground to hold herself in place. Her shield took the brunt of the wind damage, as she hid behind it and pushed back with it. Anyone behind her could also use her to block most of the wind damage.

Breathing deeper, Celes reached into herself for strength and anger, letting the cool general take over.

"Relm! Spell me!"

If they could work together on this, they might have an easier chance of landing a hit or two on her.

Terra, already airborne, had nothing to hold onto. She wasn't about to let the spell toss her around, though. Quickly, she conjured a trio of small tornadoes that swirled about her, though she was careful to make sure that no one near her was caught up in tehm. As they spun about to combine into one, they managed to deflect the brunt of Ultimecia's attack.

As Celes shouted, Terra held off her elemental attacks for a moment, attempting to direct a Silence spell at Ultimecia. Who knew if it would actually take effect, but she had to try....

Again? What was with their enemies liking to use Tornado? Admittedly, it was certainly a powerful attack, but that didn't make it any easier to actually deal with in combat, and he jammed the point of his gunblade into the ground to make a crude sort of anchor.

And as soon as the winds died down, he too was charging in. The more threats there were, the more likely it would be that Ultimecia would have to pick one of them as her target.

Ultimecia's teleporting confused Tifa for a moment. Well, that was inconvenient. And then the tornado hit and she had nothing to brace herself against or to protect her. It blasted her through the air and she crashed back into the ground with a bone-cracking thud.

Tifa pulled herself up with a groan, nursing her arm. It felt like she'd dislocated something.
