And so, Giovanni was left behind, and the portal shut. He smirked for a while longer, but then realized someone was nearby. He glanced behind him. "...You aren't fleeing with them?" he asked. Xatu continued to stare at the horizon. "Mm. I've heard of your brothers." "Yes." "Your family...

At the very top of the Water Continent's tallest mountain was a holy spring of pure water. Intended for the destruction and purification of Dark Matter, it had been protected for generations and guarded as a holy land for reasons long forgotten. When Dark Matter had attacked, the springs were...

Giovanni chuckled as they fled, half of them fallen and the other half about to. Only a few seemed to be battle-ready, but even then, it seemed like Giovanni was not bothering to pursue them. Instead, he spoke, his own voice practically projected into their minds. Even as Cabot and Celeste...

"That," Giovanni said, disappearing away from the Solar Beam, "isn't necessary." The smile was back, a little more subtle this time, but the glint in his eyes was as bright as ever. It was strange how much life and light he seemed to have in those; the cold gaze was there, and yet it seemed...

Weakly, Sword took the Max Elixir, her hands trembling softly. She sighed, trying to keep herself together, but little black tears flowed over her fur. "Why...?" she looked to Pleo, then Brisa, and finally Owen, who was walking forward. "Bahamut's right," Owen said slowly. "Don't drink too much...

Congratulations to everyone! The battle is complete, and with a stunning victory at that! I have, as usual, some announcements, adjustments, and retrospectives going into round 8. I'm sure a lot of you have been anticipating this addition... But don't let your guard down just yet. The...

Team Spectrum's thoughts were uncertain at first, but the moment they saw Darkwhite trying to fight back, they knew that they had to follow up. They'd finally broken through--now, it was just a matter of breaking through the force that was making her attack them. Could it be done? Ashwood...

"Well," Owen said slowly, "...I'm... going to do my best to keep you alive, Bahamut. I'm sorry." He jumped back, readying another flare. "But if we really need to leave someone behind--and I really, really don't want to do that--then, fine. Deal?"

Maple looked to Bahamut, briefly fearful of what he was thinking, but then hardened her gaze. "If necessary, I will," she said, "but Bahamut--" "Dying here won't let you see them any sooner," Owen said firmly. "With Diyem gone, we don't know what will happen. And--and I don't even know how your...

"Bahamut," Owen said quickly, even as he conjured another Fire Pledge to set up their next combo, "if this goes wrong, we still need you and the other healers to back us up! I'm... nervous about this. I don't know what we can do. But the world you're from and the world we're in now, there's no...

Having nowhere to run and everything to lose, Team Spectrum rushed forward with everything they had. They still needed some time to prepare for the big strike, and trying to help Darkwhite had, ultimately, slowed them down. Their attempts at calming Darkwhite only led to delaying the inevitable...

Turn 5: Ho-Oh's down, and this time for real. Eterna Darkwhite is their final foe. Problem is, she's become very fast. As it stands, we're looking at 7 actions under the effects of Miracle Eye. Yeowch! Is there a way to dampen the blow? It also has a 100-damage counter to anybody that interacts...

Sword didn't look like she was entirely there. Her eyes had become vacant, occasionally darting toward the Heal Pulses from Saltriv. She heard the calls of the others to calm down, even as she felt weaker and weaker. Less ware of herself. She mumbled something, squeezing her fists, and laughed...

Turn 4! Ho-Oh's back and stronger than ever! Still, she's just as paper-thin on defenses. Can the team take her out quickly, or will she be able to strike again? Meanwhile, Eterna Darkwhite is gaining momentum, and the team is starting to lose some of it. There's a swamp to counter the...

"I don't think it's working, guys!" Owen said. "No, it is! It is! K-kind of?!" Cal curled up in Owen's palm, most of her body receding into her core. "Throw me!" her tiny voice said. It didn't take much power; Cal provided most of it, slamming hard into the barrier before bouncing away...
