[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by The Elite DBZ [/i] [B][B]48 pieces of [i]mastered[/i] counter attack materia?! I understand how effective that would be but wouldn't you be better off breeding the chocobos and getting the Knights of the round materia?[/B] [/B][/QUOTE] KOTR takes way longer, to master and to perform. 'sides, 13 attacks a turn or 17? You decide... ;)

One post replies with no real plot? Eh... This can go in the sparring forum, though I'm tempted to delete it altogether. Let's see what Neil does.

Simple. Lots and lots of Counter Materia. You can get 16 attacks from one person per turn with 16 pieces of Counter Materia attack... At 9999 damage, that beats the crap out of KOTR... Plus, you don't need to keep Miming it... Just Use Megalixirs and attack normally, etc... Of course, it means you'll need 48 pieces of mastered Counter attack... o.o;

Spider-man was good, X-men was alright... I'm not sure about the Hulk... But Iron man? Maybe Marvel is going too far... :P

Interesting. Apart from the fact that they're totally different colours and stuff, do you really think Emerald wouldn't try to get revenge against Junon for firing at it? Besides, if it's head were blown off, it would die, and not be able to fight at the capacity it does when it attacks your party...

[i]Flash quickly turned to Drake, realising that there was someone who could help them with this enigma...[/i] [b]Flash:[/b] The grey elves, of Glorethroth... Their high mages and priests have always been masters of these sorts of thing... [b]Drake:[/b] Hmmm... That's a fair way to go. [b]Flash:[/b] Indeed... I think we should head to Krysst first, as you suggested. [b]Drake:[/b] Sounds good... Are there any fighters in Krysst. [b]Flash:[/b] Well, I... I mean, there's a Baron there... Vince-- [b]Drake:[/b] Baron Vincent Verdigris, yes, the womanising one... I think everyone knows of [i]him[/i]... [b]Flash:[/b] Err, yeah... Anyway, I know that all of his manor staff are trained to fight and defend. [b]Drake:[/b] Oh, really? [b]Flash:[/b] That's right... About 50 or so, is my guess... [b]Drake:[/b] Hmmm... Any woman in his staff? [b]Flash:[/b] ...You're joking, right? Try [i]all[/i]-woman staff. [b]Drake:[/b] Jeez... He's worse than I thought... [b]Flash:[/b] No, no, he's a great guy, once you get to know him... [i]Drake raised an eyebrow, and Flash shrugged. Together, they head back towards the path across the mountains, eastward towards Krysst...[/i]

I'm back! Or rather, I'm not back... I'm here! In the states, that is... I stopped in LAX and Denver... And hell, I was expecting worse... I was all like 'Err... Where are customs? Why aren't I being frisked?' Heck, I'll post up my Travel diary later...

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Desbreko [/i] [B][color=indigo]?...And how Emerald WEAPON makes that hole in the ...[/color] [/B][/QUOTE] Come on. Prove to me that it's emmy... I want to see the logic behind your reasoning, too..

[I]Flash crosses the plains east of Krysst, heading towards the eastern pass... The road that leads through the Krystal ranges, the massive arch of mountains that surrounds Krysst... Once he reaches the mountain path, he turns around, and takes one last look at Krysst... He grins, and continues walking east, along the dirt path. As he walks, he senses something... Something strange... He keeps walking, for about 10 minutes, until he feels it again... A figure, dressed in a white cloak is heading down the path in the opposite direction as him... Flash, quick to jump the gun and unfocussed, immediately recognises the figure as a monster...[/I] [B]Flash:[/B] ...Maybe that's one of those 'Tonberries' I've heard so much about... But I've never seen one... [I]Flash decides to put up a fight. Grabbing his Oak staff tightly, he stands aguard, waiting for his enemy to emerge from around the bend... Without warning, the white-cloaked figure sprints out from behind the corner, moving at unbelievable speed... Both Flash's and the cloaked person's eyes widen as they are about to Collide... Flash swings his staff around with inhuman speed, casting 'Stop' on the white-clothed runner... He opens his eyes, and sees the person an inch away from his face... He's a human, brown hair pulled back in a pony-tail, and the cloak of a white mage...[/I] [B]Flash:[/B] You're a white mage.. Err... I thought you were something else... I apologise for the inconvienience... [B]Drake:[/B] Yeah, thanks. Are you gonna lift this spell or what? [B]Flash:[/B] Right, of course. [I]Flash reaches for his belt, pulling out a remedy... He removes the cork stopper from the neck of the small bottle, and throws the bottle at Drake... Drake tries to recoil, waiting for the bottle to hit him... However, as soon as it touches him, it seems to dissolve into thin air, and rays of blue and green light dance around the paralyzed Drake before disappearing... Drake can move again..[/I] [B]Drake:[/B] Thanks, I have to get to Krysst, and quickly.. [B]Flash:[/B] Why? I'm just leaving Krysst, everything is fine. [B]Drake:[/B] Oh, I see... That potion you used on me was a Remedy, right? [B]Flash:[/B] Yeah... When you're a Black mage, you gotta carry alot of curative items... [B]Drake:[/B] I've never really used any.... [B]Flash:[/B] Heh, with power like yours, who would need to? [B]Drake:[/B] Well, it's not always so easy. It's hard to defeat enemies sometimes... [B]Flash:[/B] It's not the defeat that's hard for me, it's the damage I sustain that makes it tough for me. [I]Flash smiled at Drake, who could see nothing but a black shadow, two yellow eyes and the outline of a mouth in place of Flash's face... Flash extended his hand to Drake, and awaited a response.[/I] [B]Flash:[/B] My name's Flash. Pleasure to make your aquaintance.

I dunno about the controller, Rico... After all, the GCN's controller [i]is[/i] 'Sex for the hands'..

[B]Tamatea:[/B] We're here... [B]Warlock:[/B] Didn't take long. [I]Warlock and Tamatea walk into the arena, impressed by the number of other Saiyajin warriors participating in the tourney... Tamatea looks intruiged, and Warlock grins and cracks his knuckles...[/I] [B]Warlock:[/B] Should we practice? [B]Tamatea:[/B] I was hoping to meet some of the competitors.. But alright. [I]Warlock nods, and leads Tamatea towards what seems to be a sparring area... Tama looks off to one side as they walk, as his glance is caught by a Saiyajin with a head of fine cyan hair....[/I] -------- Can you say [I]Filler post?[/I] [B]Tamatea's Power Level:[/B] 13,000 [B]Tamatea's Power Level w/Mitsukai/Angel:[/B] 17,800 [B]Tamatea's Power Level w/Gunshin/God of War:[/B] 25,000

[QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Warlock [/i] [B]Well, good luck Flash, don't do anything I wouldn't do... Wait, that's probably bad advice thinkin' about it. Anyway, he won't be in the air for a while yet. It's only about 6 or 7 PM, Tuesday where he is... [/B][/QUOTE] You tell 'em, Warlock... Spreading false rumours, James? Tsk, tsk. :p And everyone else, [I]keep on topic!![/I] Just because thim-what's his name made a visit doesn't mean we have to stop paying attention to me! Look! It's me! Flash! I'm leaving soon! I should be packing, but I'm online! LOOK AT ME!! LOVE ME!! ...What the hell is ADD?

Platform games rule, 'nuff said. Revolutionary in their time.

Yeah, that's right... Tommorow, Wednesday 1:00pm my time, I'll be hoppin' on a plane bound for Auckland, then transfering at LAX, to Denver, and finally arriving in Rapid city... I will, of course, tell you when I get there. If I don't, I've probably died in some horrendous plane crash... Erm, yeah. I'll be in the air a good 20 hours, and god knows how long I'll be waiting around at the airports... Erm... Wish me luck. ^^;

Yeah, SS Trunks, you can join, seeing as we cool an' all... And as for Warlock... ... He will join. Mark my words. *runs off to get Warlock-torturing device*

I liked 'em both.... But, eh... I like Spidey better. Probably because I saw Episode II four times and got sick of it, heh heh... Plus, Spider-man just plain out rules.

Does it really matter how many there are? After all, you can get as many as you want in the speed square...

[B]Zero:[/B] [i]Havoc, now? I wish he'd make up his damned mind and choose a name...[/i] [I]After an hour or so, Zero slammed the brakes of the APC on, and signalled the squad to move out. Not that many of them were paying attention anyway... The ramp at the back of the large hover transport lowered to the ground, and the hunters exited. Zero came out last, muttering under his breath... He wanted respect, and it looked like he'd have to earn it the hard way... But for now, there was a mission to complete. They looked around... They were here. The parking facility of a large oil refinery... Most of the cars were overturned and shot up... It looked like there had been quite a large battle here. Zero glanced up at the skyline... It didn't seem like any damage had been sustained to the towers of the complex, or the massive spherical storage tanks. Zero looked down from there, and saw the huge double steel doors leading into the core of the refinery... They looked charred, as if they had been hit with lazer fire... Zero frowned... Something wasn't right... But nevertheless, the rest of the squad was already at the doors. Zero ran and caught up with them.[/I] [B]Warlock:[/B] These doors are locked tight. [B]Nova:[/B] So the Replimasters are inside, right? [I]A massive dent erupted from inside the complex... Everyone recoiled, as it happened again, and again, until finally, the door burst open... A huge hand grabbed one of the doors, and ripped it off completely... He then stepped out... He was a large Reploid, 10 feet tall at least, dwarfing everyone else in the squad... Warlock's eye grew wide in fear...[/I] [B]Warlock:[/B] Guts... [I]Guts picked up a large drum of oil, and hurled it at the squad... They dived out of the way, as the barrel exploded, sending flames and shrapnel in a large radius... Laying on the ground next to each other, Zero looked angrily at Warlock..[/I] [B]Zero:[/B] Warlock! You informed me there would only be two Ice Replimasters here! We're not prepared for a battle with Guts as well! [B]Warlock:[/B] I don't know! I'm only the messenger, the signal we picked up said there were two Ice replimasters here! [B]Zero:[/B] Are you implying that was a hoax? A false signal to lure us here..!? [B]Proteus:[/B] It's an ambush... [B]Zero:[/B] Dammit... We've got to retreat. We'll head back to HQ and get back up. Then we'll-- [I]Zero was interupted by a massive explosion in one of the storage tanks... Then, around the entire outer rim of the facility, huge explosions went off, one after another... Two Replimasters appeared... [/I] [B]Zero:[/B] Bomb... And Grenade. [B]Bomb:[/B] Gwahahahaha!! Get our signal, hunter? We have Gemini to thank for that. [B]Zero:[/B] Gemini... Is he here too?! [B]Grenade:[/B] Unfortunately not... But I assure you, we have some other comrades with whom to crush you... [I]A streak zoomed across the sky... It stopped above the refinery, and fell towards the ground. Another one, this one on the ground, sped towards the squad from the east, and finally, one in the shape of a car pulled up on their western side. The car transformed, into a tall Replimaster... Now the squad had another three enemies to deal with... Turbo, Quick, and Top...[/I] [B]Bomb:[/B] Gwahaha! We're the perfect combination of Speed and Power! You're cornered! Nowhere to run, hunters! [I]Zero looked at the Replimasters, and drew his Z sabre... The rest of the squad went into battle stances as well... This was the time for fighting... the APC lowered to the ground, and extended its stabilisers... The twin buster cannons on its roof swivelled to face the replimasters... This was the standoff... There was nearly one enemy for every Hunter... Zero yelled a command, and the battle commenced...[/I]

[I]The Excalibur came down roughly... After some careful manouvering, however, Warlock managed to set it down... In the Eye of the Hurricane. Flash, Neil, Craig and Sabir all made their way to the main exit ramp, with Warlock following closely behind...[/I] [B]Craig:[/B] I'm beginning to wonder whether this is such a good Idea... [B]Flash:[/B] I know it's risky... But the eye is the only point where we know we won't get killed. [B]Neil:[/B] And what if the hurricane moves, and the eye with it? [B]Flash:[/B] It won't... It's been like this for months... [I]Flash takes the first step down the ramp... Everything seemed okay... Here they were, set down in a wide street in Dollet... The tiling on the road looked like it had been hit with an atomic blast, and the houses had been devestated... But Flash was looking at something else. They eye of the hurricane was easily visible... In fact, it seemed like a wall was seperating it from the storm itself... He looked up... The sky was totally clear and blue above... But only 10 metres or so ahead of him, massive black clouds and howling winds filled the air... It just didn't make any sense... Before he could turn to the other members of the squad, something darted across the wall with lightning speed... It looked like it was just behind it, in the hurricane itself... But that couldn't be. The hurricane was enough to kill any human.. or monster for that matter. 4 shots of fire sped through the air, heading towards Flash... Instantly, he reacted, drawing the OmniElemental, and absorbing the attacks with it... The shadowy figure lunged at him, and Flash quickly responded by slashing his sword at the beast... But there were more... about 20 or so Cerebus-like creatures emerged from the hurricane... All of them about the size of a horse... Flash got ready to attack, and the rest of the squad ran down the ramp to his side...[/I]

D_A, that goes in the 'Stupid rumours' section... :P

Don't get me wrong here, I loved Max Payne... But it wasn't so great plotwise... *goes into bar for some reason* 'IT'S PAYNE!' *shootout occurs* *goes into random hotel/brothel* 'IT'S PAYNE!' *another shootout* *goes to top of skyscraper* 'IT'S PAYNE!' *fights a helicopter* You get the idea...

Dead or Alive? *does Quagmuire thing... [i]Alright..[/i]* Well, with the way movies are going at the moment, all these game-oriented movies look to be good... As long as we see no repeats of 'Super Mario bros'... ugh..

[B]Tamatea:[/B] So that's it, huh? [B]General:[/B] The tournament will reap tremendous benefits for the ANZMC. [B]Tamatea:[/B] Sounds like fun. [B]Warlock:[/B] Yeah, it does. But what about the Australian core? They've allowed it, right? [B]Colonel:[/B] Of course. They send their apologies for not being able to talk to you personally, Warlock, but there are political issues overseas that have to be dealt with... [B]Warlock:[/B] Understandable. [B]General:[/B] Good. Now, you two are the finest warriors in the hemisphere. Go forth, to the tournament, and win. [I]Warlock and Tamatea salute the council, and exit the massive circular meeting room...[/I]

Sorry I took so long.. [I]The twilight sky over Krysst was a beautiful sight. The swirling clouds were ablaze, lit up with shades of red, orange and gold... Below the clouds, in the city of Krysst, a man looks to the sky, standing on a balcony on a large manor... His name is Vincent Verdigris. Vincent sighs... He took a sip of the wine he was holding in his hand, and then looked away from the dusk sky, and back into the manor... His manor... He could hear the guests all socialising and mingling with one another downstairs. He wondered whether they had even noticed his absence yet. After all, it was his party. He put the wine down on the wall of the balcony, and shoved his hands into the pockets of his vest. With another sigh, he walked through the doors leading onto the balcony, back into his bedroom. He had it all... Money, friends, fame... But he felt something was missing. He walked over to his bookcase, and pulled a book out. He stepped back, and the bookcase swung around, revealing a secret passage. He grinned, and walked down it, the bookcase closing behind him. The passageway walls were covered with portraits, and the floor adorned a rose red carpet. The music from downstairs was still faintly audible. Vincent looked at the pictures on the wall... He hadn't been down this corridoor in nearly 4 years... He came to the end of the passage, two doors. He grasped the handles firmly, and flung the doors open. There it was. A sky blue coat, and leather belt. He looked to the right of the outfit, and saw an oak staff. He looked left, and saw a Silver Elven Dagger on a pedestool. And glancing up, there was a pointy leather hat. They all looked slighty worn, but that didn't matter. Vincent realised that it was time for him to become Flash again. He called his Butler, and requested that he inform the guests that he was departing, and may not return for quite some time.[/I] [B]Vincent:[/B] And Garland, please, do take care of yourself. [B]Garland:[/B] Yes, Master Verdigris. I wish your safe return. [B]Vincent:[/B] Will you be alright here alone? [B]Garland:[/B] Of course. After all, the gardener, grounds keeper, caretaker, chef, nurse and maids will be here as well. [I]Vincent shot a huge grin. Garland just moved his eyebrows as if to say 'I wouldn't even think of it'. Vincent knew this was true, as Garland was getting rather old. They were refering to the fact that Vincent had hired an all female staff, all in their late teens/early twenties. Some might call Vincent a pervert, but he felt he was doing them a favour by giving them all easy jobs with high pay. Think what you might, Vincent was a good man... Even if he was the horniest on the planet. He shook Garlands hand, and even gave the old man a hug. He turned around, opening the secret passageway, and passed through, to the room at the end. He grabbed his cloak, and put it on over his clothes. He slung the elven blade at his hilt, along with a satchel of Gil. Finally, he grabbed the oak staff, and put the leather hat on. He was changed... No longer was he Vincent Verdigris, Lord and Baron of Krysst... He was once again Flash, High black mage, master of dark magic. He grasped his Oak staff tightly, and pointed it at the wall... A shot of blue slammed into the bricks, and they rippled like water being hit by a stone... Flash smiled, and walked into and through the wall, appearing outside his manor, on a hill... This hill led over the ranges, and across to the eastern side of the continent... Flash took one look back at his mansion, and the town of Krysst itself... He then turned to the horizon, and made his way toward the setting sun in the east... To live, to die, it was unknown... but Flash had chosen the way of the nomad over anything else, as it was truely his destiny, and what lay in store he could not begin to comprehend...[/I]
