Event || In Your Worst Memory

[0301120113092025]

Characters: All Heroes of Light. Only those who signed-up can start a memory.
Where: Interdimensional Rift
When: May 27th - May 30th
Summary: The Heroes of Light relive some of their worst memories, with a twist. All characters participating in this will be physically missing from Crystallis for the duration of the event.
Warning: It depends on the memory.

Where you were or what you were doing— It does not really matter. Not any more. Everything around you freezes, nearly as if time itself stopped, as if the world was frozen in time. And before you have a chance to understand what is happening, you can hear a voice right behind you.

"Kali Shashidhwaja."

Should you turn around, you may see a child who seems to be the only one aside from you unaffected by what is happening. And as she stares right at you, it makes no doubt these strange words are aimed at you. But before you can reply to her, the world around you collapses. Reality twists and shatters... Or maybe you are the one who is collapsing and shattering away from reality as you know it. No matter what the answer is, it will only take a few seconds for you to find yourself sinking into a void, Crystallis vanishing into the distance. There is nothing but darkness as far as the eye can see.

And once again you feel different: all the powers from your Jobs are fading. Not only that, but you might find that your Crystal is gone and your clothes back to what they were before you woke up in Crystallis. It is silent, cold and before long it feels as though life itself is slipping out of you... And yet, slowly the world reforms around you. The darkness fades away and a new world appears, yet at the same time this is not a world.

This is a memory. The question is, is it yours or that of someone else?

THE ALTAR.

[desertbloomed]

Ashelia looked down as the staff knocked her foot. "No!" Thinking back to her own wedding day, how joyous she had felt, how bright and full of hope she'd been - it made her all the more angry, seeing Yuna's day ruined as such. It was a bold tactic, faking marriage to get close enough to send the man (whatever that meant) but it looked like it hadn't paid off.

"Find your resolve, Yuna! You did this for a reason - send him!"

[grandsummon]

She winced hearing that. Someone that always supported her, no matter what it meant for themselves... someone that was always encouraging her, even if her decisions weren't always sound. Lulu. "I'm sorry..." Yuna mouthed, turning away, just as Seymour's hands reached to clasp at her shoulders.

The summoner couldn't look at them, any of them. She knew that Seymour probably meant to do, and she couldn't stop it... lest the lives of her guardians be brought into question. All along the road to Zanarkand, her own life had always been expendable... but the lives of her friends, as long as she had a say in it -- their safety was non-negotiable.

Closer and closer the guado drew -- and Yuna finally looked up, squeezing her eyes shut, her lips pressed tightly together in a thin white line... as he kissed her, the bells ringing all around them.

The only defiance she showed -- was her hand that curled into a shaking fist.

Alongside Ashelia, the blond man stepped forward, poised ready for a fight as he watched what was happening. His sword was in one hand while the other one made a fist, much like Yuna's. His anger was like a damn about to burst -- a furious expression crossing his face as he turned to the queen. "We have to do something! We can't just let him get away with this!"

Which was promptly met with a gun shoved further in Tidus' face.

Ashelia clenched her jaw. The young man was right. Even uneducated about her apparent role in the memory, Ashelia was fiercely protective of all the Heroes; especially Yuna, having fought by her side several times. Whether this already happened or not, she wasn't going to let this continue. She moved her fingers slightly - if she concentrated, she could hear the whisper in the back of her mind. The High Seraph... Dare she?

She narrowed her eyes, looking at the guns pointed at them. There wouldn't be enough time. "On my mark..." she mumbled, flexing her fingers once more. Lightning crackled between them, and she grinned. This was power.

"NOW!" she yelled, extending her hands forward. "Thundaga!" Her area of effect Thundaga spell arced outwards, traveling all around the group of guardians.

[tozanarkand]

The blond wasn't one to hesitate, plowing ahead with his sword and cutting through the guards that cornered them. From behind him, an orange haired man attacked as well, prompting the Ronso in the back to shoot in front of the mage, swinging his spear to clear a path upwards.

A man in a red coat made the scene as well, sword turned in front of him to block any immediate oncoming attacks.

At the sounds of battle, the kiss finally broke, prompting Seymour to open his long fingers outwards, his sotic, uncaring expression unchanging. "Kill them."

The guards that stood directly in front of the guardians fell quickly, the onslaught of both magic and force too much for them. But reinforcements behind them were quick to act, clicking their weapons at the ready as they opened fire on all of them.

And behind them, a small group of guards worked to ready one of the cannons...

[grandsummon]

What! Kill them! With a gasp Yuna looked up -- but it was too late, a fight had already broken out...

It was thanks to the resulting chaos that Yuna was able to break away, however. Side stepping away from Seymour, who was far too focused on watching what he probably hoped was a bloodbath, the summoner continued to back away slowly, hoping to go unnoticed until she put at least a little more distance between them...

Still, she spared a moment to cast a frightful look at her guardians, fearing for their lives. She had to... think of something...
