The Lunatic Pandora

[timenpcs.livejournal.com]

Characters: Lufene, everyone who wants to go after her
Progress: Ongoing
Summary: The intrepid heroes of Gaia seize their chance to board the Lunatic Pandora and attempt to stop its progress.
Location: Lunatic Pandora (over Fum)
Date: 19th April, 1805
Warnings: Violence

Since it began its journey two days ago, the Lunatic Pandora had made its way slowly but surely across the Outer Continent, nearing its final destination with every passing second.

The sky around it was soon dotted with airships, come to track its progress. But none could yet halt it. To even make such an attempt, a party would need to get inside - and in the heart of the Pandora, Lufene was waiting.

Lufene was getting into her stride now, blade twirling, utilising the power of darkness to its utmost. Both arrows and bullets found their mark, which irritated her; that hurt.

The appearance of the Eidolon was an unexpected bonus. She met Lightning's blade with her own, then twisted and slashed down at Odin, stabbing a Shadowblade into the heart of the Eidolon, thus draining its energy to replenish her own.

A second later, she cast Meteor, sending a barrage of powerful meteorites raining down on the party. She was mad that they'd managed to hurt her. Now she wanted them to hurt.

Lightning cursed as Odin was struck, twisting her own blade as Lufene did, moving in for a jab.

She wasn't fast enough; the spell was let out, and as close as she was to Lufene, she got the brunt, the meteors sending Lightning flying back to land on the ground in almost a heap.

Dizzy, and disoriented, it took her a few moments to get up, watching as Odin was also struck by the meteors and subsequently knocked out. She grit her teeth and swallowed.

Now? Now she was really mad.

The Curaga healed Rinoa and she felt much safer with Reflect covering her too. She shot a quick smile at Ceodore, immediately in better spirits.

Backing away out of range of both Odin and the Meteor barrage that Lufene sent down on them, Rinoa channelled her magic once again, this time aiming it at Ceodore's sword.

Meteor was far more painful to endure than Balthier cared to admit. He fired another shot in reply. At least Reflect couldn't do much about bullets, even if it made use of magic rather tricky. Ceodore and Rinoa seemed to have found a way around it, aside from reflecting spells from their own end of the fight. Good. That was another leg up. The faster they could damage Lufene, the better.

He snorted, irate, when he realized his clip had been emptied. He reached into the pack at his belt with deft fingers, feeling through the contents for the familiar shape of the casing that held his spare shots. Reloading Arcturus quickly with well-practiced hands, he took aim and pulled the trigger yet again.

Her Float spell was wearing off. She'd have to fight on the ground with these other lowly mortals, but at least they'd know true pain at her hand. Ignoring the bullets which were still doing constant damage to her, she moved in with Darkness-charged blade, cutting any who might get in her way.

If she could strike down the one who called herself Lightning, Lufene would be particularly happy.

Too much high powered magic going around and Ceodore was beginning to feel it in a bad way. There wasn't time to take advantage of his magic imbued sword and heal everyone else. On a split second's decision, he lunged forward to stab at Lufene, using the blade to drive the magic, so it bypassed her Reflect. Only then did he start charging up round after round of Cura to level at anyone who looked like they really needed it.
