Tales of a Journey (Private!)

"Man, are moogles always this loud," Zero growled while Audri looked over at Monty with a nervous expression on her face.

"It just happened at the time. One minute I'm charging up for a Thunder spell, and the next, the spell doesn't even leave a spark!" Audri said waving her arms around while Zero tilted his head to the side back & forth, "Huh, maybe you just can't use anyone spells."

"Maybe, but I couldn't even make a weapon out of my blood, my wings wouldn't sprout, it's just- It's just...." Audri said as she picked up Monty before sighing, "Maybe i'm just washed up..."
"Man, you're such a downer. How about we go watch the other matches at the least? Maybe that'll cheer you up!" Zero said as he got to his feet to grab ahold of her hand and tried to pull her along.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Maybe you could ask for a few pointers," Ares said to his little brother as Kinta came over to them.

Riri shook her head and cracked a smile onto her face, "I'm feeling pretty good, just a headache from when the sucker hit me on the head."

"My match already? Ugh, what a pain!" Lizabeth groaned as she put Neli on the ground and went through the crowd to get to the fighting area. "Man, she's such a grouchy bitch today." Melony said bluntly while Scarlett nodded, "She's been having more mood swings than a bipolar chihuahua!"

 

"We know that! You should hurry up too Stitzlkin!" Audri called back getting pumped up again while Zero ran back and scooped the moogles up in his arms grinning, "Can we eat the moogles?"

"No. No you can't." Audri said as she quickly snatched the moogles from the fox's arms before making a bolt for it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lizabeth just looked at the girl before facepalming at her question.

"Yes. We're supposed to fight until one of us is knocked out. Wait, how is it that you sign up for something without knowing what you're supposed to do?!" Lizabeth barked looking up at the high-strung girl wondering why her opponent gave up so quickly to such a wimp.

"This might be a short match," Scarlett commented picking up Neli onto her shoulders before Riri looked around in confusion, "Wait - has anyone seen Ranma?"

 

"Like you're any better I swear," Audri said as she juggled her running skills as she carried one of the moogles while she put the other one on top of her head.

"Hey, wait up at the least!" Zero said whining as she chased after the trio.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Riiight. Anyways, can we start this round already? I kind of need to go punting a blonde idiot for fun," Lizabeth said rolling her eyes as she made her shadow into a staff.

"I dunno Kinta, there must be something with this chick that made whoever she was facing supposedly "give up" like that... What makes you think she's going to use the same tactic on Lizzy?" Scarlett asked as she balanced Neli on her shoulders.

"I know Ranma, you really sucked ass today since you got completely totaled by the white haired chick," Riri said glancing back at the brunette grinning.

 

"That is pretty messed up, unless they're stuffed moogle toys, then I want one!" Audri said cheerfully as Zero chased them into the next area.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lizabeth just looked over at the girl sweatdropping. "Ok, if this is going to make you feel better, more than me that's for sure, then I guess I can give you a free hit on me. After that, I won't shed any mercy, deal?" Lizabeth said to the terrified girl lowering her staff.

"I dunno, how many rounds were there for the first brackets?" Scarlett asked Kinta before turning back to the match at hand and shouted to Lizabeth, "You're going soft Lizzy!" The snake girl heard Scarlett's comment and flipped her off before turning back to her opponent.

"Top-hat guy? I really shouldn't leave you alone anymore," Riri said shaking her head wondering what the hell did she miss.

 

"Ok then, let's go!" Audri said as she saw Zero caught up with them and grabbed his hand before flinging him over the crowd and towards the group. "Wow, that was a bit of a throw," Audri stated before weaving through the crowd instead of chucking the moogles as well.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lizabeth looked at the girl before sweatdropping, "Before I beat the ever living daylights out of you, can I ask WHOM was your opponent? Because I can't believe that someone like you actually won the last round..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Riri looked at the brunette perking her ears up, "Maybe he's a ex of Audri's or something like that." "Can I say something?" Scarlett said before she pointed at the sky and screamed, "FLYING FOX!"

"LOOK OUT BELOWWW!" Zero said as he had his arms extended out as he grabbed Riri's shoulders and tackled her to the ground, which resulted in taking out a few of the other bystanders as well.

 

"Oh well, hey guys!" Audri said as she waved over to the group before someone bumped into her knocking her and the moogles over. "Hn? Oh, sorry kiddo." A black haired man in a trenchcoat said as he hoisted Audri onto her feet. "It's alri... Do I know you?" Audri asked as she looked up at the male curiously. He just smiled and patted her head before leaving without a word. "That was fun... Anyways, moving on!" Audri squealed as she continued her way towards the group.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"The scary blonde girl threw me over here. She's really cute and sweet, but I still love my sister the most!" Zero said as he got off of Riri and helped his sister up. "You are so creepy Zero! You know how much I can't stand you. By the way, the blonde's taken bro, so don't even-" "I didn't mean in a romantic way! Besides, I only think people are nice like that when they feed me," Zero said waving his hands in defense while Scarlett shook her head, "Don't care. I wanna see the girl get pummeled!"

"Violent much Scarlett?" Riri said while Scarlett snickered, "At least my siblings aren't trying to sleep with me." Riri was about to protest but she facepalmed herself, "Why do you always have to be right in some TWISTED way?"

Zero just rolled his eyes and smiled slipping his arm around Riri's waist as he spoke, "Who cares what the red head says Riri, why don't we just go somewhere quiet and-" "SAVE MEEE!!!" Riri squeaked as she bolted from Zero's grasp and hid behind Ranma.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lizabeth just looked at the crowd booing and just looked at the girl walking over to her, "Well, guess I should end this stupid match before the crowd throws a tantrum." As Lizabeth lifted her staff up to strike down on the girl's head, a black bullet shot past her ear from behind making her jump back and look around confused on what just happened.

"If you're going to be fighting someone, you might as well fight to give a show to the crowd, wouldn't you say so?" Someone said from out of the crowd. Lizabeth looked back as she saw someone on a trench coat was near the edge of the ring with a black and silver gun extended out in her specific direction.

OOC: The bullet & gun have the same shape as Xigbar's gun arrows, but different colors as to what is described.

 

Audri pulled back from the kiss and blushed a deep pink, "W-what's with the sudden romantic gesture Kinta?"

"And I don't care!" Riri said glancing up at the brunette while Zero had a goofly grin on his face and just took one step towards Riri & her human sheild. She jumped up and clung onto Ranma for her life. "Now THAT was fun!" Zero cackled a little while Riri glared at the fox before flipping him off.

"It can't be helped, though I do wonder how she got through the first round myself." Ares muttered while Melony pulled her bat out cheering, "Let's start an angry mob!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Who the hell are... Oh, like I give a damn!" Lizabeth groaned as she spun around seeing the girl enclosed in a magical barrier. "Huh, that's impressive, but not good enough I suppose!" She said as she spun the staff in her hands before striking the dome with the staff.

 

"O... Ok Kinny. Before I forget, I've been wanting to give this to you," Audri said as she slid her hand down to her pants pocket and pulled out a small keychain, "Rhode gave this to me a while back because she found it when she was cleaning out the rooms we were occupying during the Noah's Party. I remember that Yen Sid gave this to you the last time when we saw him."

"No way! I'm staying here until that... that DEVIL leaves!" Riri whined shaking her fist at her brother who just stuck his tongue out at her before turning his attention to the match at hand.

"Finally!" Ares and Melony said as they went back to watching the battle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lizabeth tried to catch her footing, but slipped on a puddle of water and fell back on her ass. She hit her head and sat up wondering where the hell the puddle of water came from. She heard a snickering from the crowd seeing the person in the trenchcoat holding up a bucket of water as he stood there.

"Why that little..." Lizabeth growled before she casted Thunder. Unfortunately for her, she forgot she was sitting in a puddle of water.

ZAP!

"Owch!" Lizabeth cried as she jumped up to her feet as her hair kind of stood up from the electric shock on herself. "Well, that didn't do as planned..."

 

OOC: Glad to remind you then!

Audri sweatdropped looking at Yani before facepalming, "You are a carrot cake with a dash of CRAZY!"

"Oh come on dude, not like she inflicted pain in some way!" Scarlett said while Ares yanked Yani off of Kinta & Audri (who was still in his arms).

"Shaddap you!" Riri snarled before looking over at the other's scenario. "What type of errands can your tribe be asking of you this time?" Riri glared at the rabbit annoyed with her, even though she did heal her wounds back when her brother threw a knife at her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Yeah, I figured." Lizabeth said as she coughed out a cloud of smoke and tried to flatten out her hair. "So, shall we get this over with?" Lizabeth asked as she picked up her staff before the person in the trench coat appeared behind her with the gun's muzzle pressed against in her back, "We shall, shouldn't we?"

"Sonofa- How did you get here?" Lizabeth asked without turning around not wanting to get shot. "Used a portal, duh?" THe person said while Lizabeth quickly pulled herself forward and slashed at the mysterious person with her staff, knocking the gun out of their hands.

 

"So let me get this straight. You were sent out to go spy on the Mithra and Yang tribes to make sure they're not trying to attack or sabotage the Fimik and Ying in any way. Also the fact that other races that were on the "Balance" either left the world or are extinct. Am I getting that correct or are you just completely loony?" Audri said poking the bunny-girl in the forehead with her finger before she heard whimpering behind her.

She glanced back just to see a blur of white as seem to Zero tackled Yani to the ground blushing, "You're kind of hot."

Scarlett glanced over at Ranma and Riri seeing what commotion they were talking about, "I dunno what the hell's going up over there."

"Wait, is Lizabeth's match even over yet or are people in the crowd getting frustrated and attacking the challengers?" Riri asked as she settled herself down on Ranma's shoulders watching what was supposed to be the match while Scarlett shrugged, "Like hell we know what's going on anymore."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lizabeth looked back at the girl and shook her head sweatdropping. "Oy blonde! Keep your eyes on your opponent!" The person barked as he grabbed ahold of one end of her staff and pulled her forward. Lizabeth was taken aback that when she turned her head around, she felt the person run their hand on the right side of her face.

She growled as she bolted back and looked to see the person standing there loosely shaking something in between in fingers. "My 'patch!" Lizabeth said in an irritated tone as she slapped her hand over her eye which is usually covered while the person laughed as he picked up his gun off from the ground, "Don't quit now my sweet! The fun's only starting, wouldn't you say so?"

Lizabeth gripped her staff as she glared at the person with her eye cracking a grin on her face, "Give me back the DAMN eyepatch!" The person just shook his head and waved their hand loosely holding the eyepatch, "No way sweethe-" "RAWR!" Lizabeth tackled the person to the ground in an attempt to get her eyepatch back, forgetting about her match.
