[ This thread is for characters who died during the first part of the event. They can mingle, discuss their plans and have an evil tea party if they so wish. They all woke up in the night between the 30th and 31st of October, in a forest only a couple hours away from Aqures Ixen.

The twelve Moogles are already there, along with the one wearing a Black Mage hat who is currently holding one of the Black Crystal that was stolen from the Magitek Research Facility past month. They all do seem very busy and working on the upcoming ceremony, something around a black cauldron and whatnot. As such, they won't pay any attention to the characters. ]

[ This thread is for character who didn't die and are still alive by the 31st of October. The Crystal of Fire is acting up and according to Jessie, it is about to destroy the entire city and the surrounding region.

The Heroes of Light are summoned to the Crystal by panicked Moogles who realized they'd rather risk death by calling for help than sitting and waiting to die anyway. They hope the Heroes of Light may know what to do-- Unfortunately their hopes are somewhat misplaced. Wedge, Jessie, Biggs and Artemicion are by the Crystal of Fire and can be questioned, though they do not know yet about Satoru's letter.

Wedge will give the affected Heroes a Megalixir to use immediately-- It will make them feel as though the symptoms are gone, but the effects will slowly vanish. At best, it'll help them go through one Boss Battle without feeling down. ]

[ This thread is for Yeul and Saori meeting the Heroes of Light in Aqures Ixen. ]

[ This thread is for Kobato meeting the Heroes of Light as soon as they reach the forest's entrance, as Saori and Yeul go their own way.. ]

[ A clearing in the Core of the Forest, twelve Moogles working on some sort of ceremony along with, apparently, Genesis Rhapsodos and Sparks Nevada? But there is more awaiting the Heroes of Light...

This thread is for when the Heroes will reach the forest core after Kobato led them to it. ]

After walking away from Sparks, Shun could feel a strange sense of panic lurking within him. He didn't know where it was coming from, so it was only causing him to feel more on edge, than even he was used to. He was determined to keep his mind focused on the task at hand, however. Being around doubt and uncertainty wouldn't help him in that endeavor, obviously. Not to mention, he'd just spotted a familiar face...and it was one that had him feeling confused. Though a part of him was eager to go and greet him, he was going to pause his steps halfway there.

Satoru's face only served as a reminder of Shun's main reason for keeping his mind on the goal, there. Saki...

They had to be successful, or else...she truly was doomed. After everything he had heard, however, an ache filled his chest just from thinking about her. She was suffering, anyway, because of...him. Then, there was the matter of Maria and Mamoru. They could be...

...No, he couldn't think about it! Shun's jaw tensed and he glanced back in the direction from which he'd just come. Getting emotional, just like with doubt, would only serve to distract. He would put himself in even more risk of diverting from their goal. Their quest. Other people's lives depended on them, and so...they needed to focus. He would go and speak to Satoru, first, and find out where he stood.

While standing in place, he was going to tighten a hand into one fist. For a moment, his face flickered with emotion; immediately after, it forcibly calmed.

[Such a shame that Zelda would not understand, did not listen to good advice. As she steps again towards him Sephiroth lowered his eyelids down at her only a fraction before moving.

Quicker than any had ever seen him move, he lunges forwards in a swift motion to meet Zelda halfway - the gleaming length of Masamune slipping through her middle as if it were a knife into hot butter. Without any hesitation as if it were more of an afterthought than an action he had premeditated. Holding his position there, with the hilt between them and the blade stained deep scarlet as it protrudes from the back of Zelda's body, he's peering over her shoulder at the other Heroes and Sephiroth sneers as the smell of blood does indeed start to add to the unnerving aura of the clearing while the ritual continues behind him.]

I told you. Do not seek to interfere.

[And then, much slower he steps back and draws his weapon free of her. It's as if he's using it to lead Zelda into being laid out on the grass before his feet before he looses her completely and with a sharp flick of the blood from his blade to one side he raises it once more - now poised like a great stinger out towards the others as he dares them to try to attack him.

This is going to be fun. After all, they are all going to have to die anyway.]

Shun gave a soft blink as Satoru approached, but did nothing to show disapproval at the kiss. With a faint smile, he nodded to Satoru's words. Well, it would make sense that something didn't know they were being controlled -- were a person forcibly controlled, it would defeat the person, in the event that it needed to be believable.

Brainwashing.

There was a slow, brief tilting of his head at Sparks. Quietly, he watched the older man struggle. The narrowing of the eyes had a tiny red flag setting up within his mind. Then...the look of suspicion. So, he had failed to come completely out of it. Very well...it was unfortunate, but it seemed that they were minus another comrade.

Feeling the grab to the back of his shirt, Shun turned and offered Yeul a reassuring look. Lifting one hand, he rested it on the top of her head, briefly. As it dropped, Shun was giving Sparks a serious look, "It appears you've managed to slip back into the very clutch of lies that holds the others...Very well."

Considering the importance of...all of this, they could not risk Sparks fully returning to the opposite side. Satoru's presence had somehow managed to have him feeling...even angrier, for some reason. He could not explain it; he wasn't angry at Satoru. It was as though something had happened, regarding him, that he couldn't remember. It was irrelevant, though, wasn't it? For the sake of protecting his world -- protecting everyone on it, he had to focus on snapping the older man out of the control he was under. Or, even should they fail to do that...worse.

"You leave me no choice." And, with that, he drew his blade.

The series of punches come rocketing forward, flames spewing from each of her series of six blows. The small casts of magic zip through the air, aiming for the small party of would-be heroes who stand against her. Aiming for everyone, that is, except for the blonde who had approached her.

The spells are easily avoidable, a simple dodge or duck would see them safe, but if the spells do meet their mark it will do quite a bit more than singe or warm their limbs. It's a small attack for now, the appetizer to the entree soon coming.
