Subj: [ffml] [MW] Jumping Ship Date: 00-04-11 09:53:52 EDT From: raumkatze2@aol.com Reply-to: ffml@egroups.com To: ffml@onelist.com Things were not looking good for the war council. Cyan could not make up his mind about what action to take. Tim and his whole group of soldiers were reportedly AWOL. Jordan and Hitler were appearently dead. Kat had made up her mind. She could do more good by leaving Figaro, temporarily at least, with Poochie. As they saw it, the evil Branford siblings were a threat to world which no one else was willing to stop. They decided that they must take action. Kat told the highest ranking Lance Henriksen that he had authority over the Henriksens until she returned, if she returned... Subj: [ffml] [MW] "Don't cross the beams." (part 1) Date: 00-04-15 23:58:55 EDT Yaoi Beard Man and his friends had finally reached Vector. Even though they were obviously outsiders, no one tried to stop them from entering the city, probably because the Moogles recognised Ken and his companions from when they accompanied Turan in a battle against Doma, even though they were neutral, and did no fighting at the time. "Well, it wasn't hard to get back into Vector," said Mr. Bishounen. "Yeah, but now comes the hard part: getting into the palace and getting an audience with Turan." They made their way towards the large, metallic structure which was Vector Palace. It was heavily guarded by an elite group of Moogle soldiers. "How do you suppose we'll get past them?" said Noodles. "I've got an idea!" said Ken, "Resumama, you go over there and start flirting with them, to provide a distraction." "Three words: No freakin' way." said Resumama. "Hmm..." said Mr. B., "I can't think of any good ideas. Unless..." "No," said Ken, "Not Yaoi Invisibility. I'm not ready." "Of course you are," said Mr. B, "Master Kzaosu said you were ready back before we got sent to this world." "Okay," said Ken, "Here goes nothing..." He concentrated hard. After a few moments, Ken and his three friends began to become transparent. Sweat began to form on his brow. He had never been able to successfully stay invisible for more than a few seconds at a time during his training. But now it came down to life or death. ----- Meanwhile, Kat and Poochie were on the outskirts of town, also trying to figure out how to get into the Palace. Kat really had no means to disguise herself, but if she showed her face in Vector, she would immediately be taken prisoner. Then Poochie got an idea. He procured a pair of handcuffs. "Here, put your hands behind your back." "What?!" said Kat. "Seriously," said Poochie, "I've got an idea I think will work." ------- Ken could finally relax. He and his friends had finally made it into the Palace. As soon as they got inside, Ken stopped performing the his Yaoi Invisibility technique. "Now it's just a matter of finding Turan," said Resumama. As they looked around the palace, they were seen by a few moogles, but the moogles were not suspicious of them. After all, if they weren't supposed to be here, they would have been stopped by the guards outside. ----- "Hmm, I don't remember hearing anything about General Kat being taken prisoner," said the Moogle sentry. "Why else would I have her in my custody right now?" Poochie said impatiently, disguised as a moogle. "I suppose you've got a point. You may proceed. I wouldn't want to be the one delaying Mog's meeting with his new Queen." Poochie roughly led Kat into the Palace. "I can't believe that worked," said Kat. "Well, keep acting like a prisoner, we're not done yet. ----- Turan was in a hot tub with two females, one human and one moogle. They were watching an old episode of Moogle War: The Animated Series. "Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!" Turan said of a particularly clever plot twist. Just then, the TV was turned off. "What the...?!" said Turan, turning around. "Party's over, Turan," said Ken. "What the hell are you doing here?!" said Turan. "Necronomicon, Ex, Mortis," said Ken emphasizing each word. ----- "It's so nice to be home, and no longer have to put up this facade," said Ladice to her brother. "It's amazing how we were able to pull that off," said Denar, "Not only did we have that War Council believing that you had fallen out of favor with the nation of Vector. But I'm glad it's over too. We don't really need to do much to keep Cyan believing that you're still on their side. He'll believe anything." "I sure missed Vector and all it's comforts. Especially your expert foot massages." She smiled at him. Taking this cue, Denar began to rub his 17 year old sister's bare feet. ----- "Alright kid, how much do you know?" said Turan. He had let YBM and co. into his office, which a portrait of him hung above his desk. "Well I know that you have the Necronomicon, and you know of it's power." "That's right," said Turan. "What I want to know, is how much else do you know?" said Ken. Turan moved the portrait to the side, to reveal a safe, which he then opened, revealing the Necronomicon. "Well, I know a hell of a lot. It all started when I was approached one day by an old wizard. He said he saw potential in me, I dunno. Anyway, he's taught me all about this book, and how to utilize it's power." Ken was suddenly puzzled. Could that be Mogomra? Mogomra would never make someone like Turan his apprentice. It would be more Mogomra's style to kill Turan and take the Necronomicon. "Oh yeah, another thing," said Turan, "He told me that if a compless wuss, a talking ferret, a buxom young women, or a Yaoi Beard Man ever came along asking about it... to kill them on site!" (to be continued.) Subj: [ffml] [MW] "Don't cross the beams." (part 2) Date: 00-04-17 17:58:35 EDT Poochie and Kat managed to reach the door to Emperor's chamber without arousing any suspicion. Poochie looked both ways to make sure no one was looking, and then he morphed back into his normal form, undid Kat's handcuffs, and gave her sword back to her. "Should we go in there now?" said Kat. "Now is as good a time as any," said Poochie. He prepared to break down the door. "No, wait," said Kat. She tried the doorknob. It was unlocked. She carefully opened the door. She was not prepared for the sight that met her eyes. Denar was naked, on top of Ladice, who's nightgown was pulled up above her waist. Kat just stood there in shock until Ladice notice them and screamed. Denar jumped out of bed. "What the fuck?! Who are you?!" he shouted. Ladice pulled down her nighty and said, "I know that woman, she's an ally of Cyan's, but the other one..." "I am Poochie, retainer to King Bahamut. In his name I order you to accompany me to Lunaris immediately." "And what if we don't?" said Ladice, who appeared frightened. "Then I will have no option but to use force. Surrender now, or prepare to fight." "I think I'll choose that second one, cause frankly you don't stand a chance, dog man!" Kat and Poochie assumed fighting stances, and Denar morphed into his esper form. In this form, he was twice the size he was in his human form. He was very hairy, and had long, sharp claws on his hands and feet. It occured to Kat and Poochie that they may just be in over their heads. ----- Thanks to Ken's split-second Yaoi reflexes, he managed to dodge a bolt of lightning which had been thrown at him by Turan. He countered this with a Yaoi fireball, but Turan blocked this with his bare hand, and sent more lighting bolts Ken's way, which Ken managed to dodge. While they were occupied with this, Resumama decided to use this distraction. She quickly threw a flying kick at Turan. He didn't even turn his head in her direction. He lifted his hand, which blocked the kick and sent her flying. "My God!" Noodles said to Mr. B., "How can we win against that guy? He's a powerful mage, and he has great physical strength." Mogomra, who's invisible presence was guiding Turan's actions decided it was about time to quit playing games and finish off these fools. He decided to cast an Obliteration spell, which would not only disintegrate their bodies, but would also destroy their souls. It was one of the most powerful spells in existence, but through the God-like Turan he would now be able to cast it. He'd just need to get a little bit more of a foothold in Turan's mind. As he silently chanted the encantation, he tried to plant more of his own conciousness into Turan's self, assuming Turan would not put up a resistence in this battle situation. He had assumed wrong. As soon as Turan felt this probing influence, he tightened up. But it was too late for Mogomra to quit casting the spell now. He silently cursed and hoped the effects of the spell would not be detrimental to himself. Fortunately for him, they were not. Whatever the spell was, it went right through the wall, missing it's intended targets. ----- Though Denar was an imposing sight, he had little experience with magic-using and hand-to-hand combat, so he now seemed to be on the losing end of this fight. He had been wounded several times by Kat's sword, and was losing blood. He was also getting worn down by Poochie's magic. But then, something happened that changed the course of the battle. A ball of light came out of the wall, hitting Kat, Ladice, and Poochie. They all disappeared only a badly wounded Denar remained in the room. He morphed back into his naked human form collapsed on the ground. ----- Mogomra appeared in front of Turan. "If you want to defeat Yaoi Beard Man, and then your father, you must let me further into your mind." "Yes master. I... I'm sorry, master." Mogomra put more of his influence into Turan's mind, and this time, Turan made no resistance. "Mogomra?!" said Ken. "That's right, Yaoi Beard Man. And thanks to my magically enhanced servant here, you will soon be dead." Then he began to chant Obliteration magic again. "RUN!!!" shouted Mr. B. All 4 good guys managed to get away in time, and the spell only obliterated part of the wall. "Shouldn't we go after them?" said Turan. "No, let's let those cowards live for now. They don't pose any kind of threat to us any more, and if they ever try to get in our way again, then we'll kill them." Turan nodded, and Mogomra departed. Turan then noticed a whimpering sound coming from the next room. [you pick things up here, Eric.] Subj: [ffml] [MW] The plot thickens... and is mixed with brown sugar. Date: 00-04-18 23:02:04 EDT From: darklord@compusmart.ab.ca (His Dark Lordship) He groaned. Even though he was a moogle, he was getting sick of Ladice and Denar's fucking antics. They were supposed to be the Moogle's allies, and even the Moogles knew when it was time to stop fucking. Another realization came across him. He had just evaded an assassination attempt. This meant someone wanted him dead, even if they were going after Mogomra. He needed to expand his support base. The more people that loved him, the better chance he could get loyal enough guards. He thought to himself. The time had come to take Albrook. Then, Mog will be gone. Slowly gathering his wits, he strolled out the fortress and gathered his supporters. Before anyone knew what he was doing, his force was gone. * * * * * * * Denar groaned. Ladice had dissapeared. He had been injured, and someone was in fact on to thier plans. This was not good. He needed to take things a bit quicker. After tending to his wounds, Denar sat at his desk. He knew he had to bring in an outside force. But who? The Reptites. Yes, they're deep hatred for Mog would allow him to manipulate them to free Vector from the Moogles. The Vectorian soldiers would of course side with him. He chuckled. This was too easy. * * * * * * * Ussracts sat on the pallequin. The force was heading towards Vector. Ussracts had decided that he would swear total allegiance to the Lizard God, in hopes of gaining his favor and remaining king. To do this, he would take Vector in the Lizard God's name. That would give him a great foundation, and the Reptites would be able to re-take Doma relatively fast. Soon, he would be in favor of the Lizard God. -- The eternal lord of darkness...
