hmm let's enter that tiny room up north

Venturing in, a powerful force grabbed at Thomas, Drag, and Zane pulled them in different directions, the tiny room, but a black hole to endless possibilities.

"You made it to the final right before you get to fight me," laughed the Jester. "Now you must each fight one on one against a powerful foe to prove your worth. Who shall be tried first?"

Drag shall go first, I have faith in his abilities

"Looks like I gotzzz a perfectly delicious prey," hissed Revolt. "I am the first of those from the dark and now you shall come into it with me!"

"Scary!" cried Drag. "But I w-won't back done. The others are counting on me."

"Not bad, but you'll have to do better than that if you hope to defeat me!" he laughed.

Drag reflexes with Water Body to avoid Damage.

"You failed to hit me again!" said Drag.

"The sooner I eliminate your MP the quicker you'll end up at my mercy," he explained. "Once you are out of MP then you'll be that much closer to defeat. Then you will be nothing more than a big fat target!"

Ok... now he's just being mean... aim for his neck drag

Revolt takes 11 Damage.

"Just one scratch after another," he laughed. "Surely you have more power than this or have the noble dragons fallen this far?"

"Just you wait," growled Drag. "I'm just getting warmed up!"

Drag reflexes with Water Body to avoid Damage.

"Won't be much longer now."

That's it... drag show him what you can really do rip out your instincts and hunt! Rend devour slaughter!

"You brought this on yourself," growled Drag, hair going wild. "I don't like to use this very much." After all, I can't control myself much once I transform!"

"How could you handle so much electricity?" he asked. "You should be burst to a crisp."

"I think it has something to do with all my layers of fat," replied Drag, calming down now that the battle was over, though the electricity coursing through his body was kept his hair looking wild and frizzy.

"That is dumb," groaned Revolt as he melted back into the darkness.

"He's gone," said Drag. "I hope Thomas isn't made that I didn't eat him."

Squee that was awesome ! Oh drag this is why I never doubt you, you can do so much amazing stuff! Though I guess I need to do my trial now... if I can fit in the darn room...

"Not so fast," said the Jester. "One trial per round. You'll have to wait."

"This is a stalling tactic," said Zane. "You buying time for something?"

"Why should I when I've got all the time in the world?" he laughed before vanishing.

"Crazy nut," grumbled Zane.

"Relax," said Thomas. "We'll play by his rules and still win. For now, we can't lose our patience, right Drag?"

"That dumb enemy frizzed me up bad," groaned Drag. "I look all wild and beastly now. What gets rid of static? I'll have to get something for it after this mess is over."

We have decided to take on the Brown Room.

Which brown room?

The one below us.

"The Jester truly is evil," said Sergal.

"To this he'd send that monster out to try and kill us," cried Teddy. "I don't think we can beat it."

"I'd say run, but that's just what it'd want us to do," stated Ralis.

"Uh, what are you guys talking about?" asked Luke confused. "He doesn't look that dangerous."

"Rather cute actually added Snow approaching him.

"Don't!" warned Sergal. "That isn't just any cute bear! It's Pedobear! He's bad news."

"He's still cute," commented Kill.

Round 17

We've decided it's time...to take on...our Trial. If we are defeated, we return to our starting zone, right?

Just like with Team Yggdrasil, Team Luke and Team Voremet meet the same fate.

"Who shall take the first trial?" asked a voice. "Since there are two teams here they must both take on the trials separately. Also know, that monster characters can help out, but if a monster is used for one trial, it cannot be used in any of the others. Only those who pass their trial will move on. Losers must wait as those who proceed face down the Jester in the great, climactic battle! Now choose your first fighter wisely!"

Sergal and Goh. Strength will prevail!

"Looks like it is true when they say there is always a bigger fish," commented Sergal looking up as much as he could, but it still didn't let him see the top of the foe he was up against. "Or in this case, a bigger spider!"

"Drag made it through his test," said Zane. "I have to follow his momentum and my new powers should help me out quite nicely no matter what foe I face."

Walking through the darkness, Zane searched for his foe and only found darkness. And that made it all the more nerve-wracking. Then out of the dark, something grabbed at his arms and squeezed them tightly. "Gah!" he cried what is this?" Inspecting them he saw they were vines. "Ugh, they are actually digging into my flesh. Is this the trial I have to face?" Looking ahead he got his answer. "No. Just a part and that monstrous plant is the rest of it."

I think I'm ready for my trial

Round 18

I'm ready for my trial

"I win here and then we get to face the Jester," said Thomas excitedly. "My magic is ready for anything. Give me your best shot!"

Falling from the sky, something landed in from of Thomas with a thud. It was a Sandbag.

"Oh yeah!" He howled. "The pain feels so gooood! Come on now hit me!"

"This is disturbing," commented Thomas. "Yet somewhat appropriate."

Battle Start:

Sandbag is defeated.

"That was it?" asked Thomas disappointed.

Boss Defea-

"You thought that was my true form? That was merely a prelude for the real battle."

"That voice. It sounds familiar. No... it can't be. You were defeated ages ago!"

"I can never truly be defeated, but this is rare occasion where we get to face one another.

Metamorph activates! Sandbag becomes Cyrus!

"Show me the might of my other half."

A sandy version of Cyrus took shape from the Sandbag's sand.

A new battle begins!

........................... *squees loudly* 83. alright Cyrus let me prove why you are the inefficient one. Goo void

Thomas casts Void Goo.
Cyrus starts to fatten up.

Cyrus casts Anti Matter
Thomas starts to get skinnier.

"You are fortunate you are so fat. You will need the blubber to keep from fading from existance."

HAH I could say the same to you, you could use some meat on your bones hehehe...
Doku time

You always were weak

Void Goo Fattens Up Cyrus a few tons.

"Seems we are polar opposites. You desire to create more and my instincts tell me to destroy all to return it to one. Seems we can never understand one another and are forced to forever lock horns. And your humor does not amuse me."

Thomas cast Doku.
Cyrus is not Poisoned.

Anti Matter makes Thomas loses several tons.

Cyrus casts Anti Magic.
Thomas can no longer cast Doku for the remainder of the battle.

If this is the best you can do then you won't stand a chance against me.

"You'll run out of power long before I do. That is the simple truth."

True true however I posses more creativity than you.." he says grabbing the others throat and letting out a point Blanco blood debt

Cyrus is affected once more by Void Good, fattening to even more intense proportions.

Thomas has 176 MP drained.
Cyrus gains 176 MP.
Poison Activates. Cyrus takes 80 Damage.

"Without magical power you will not last much longer. Next turn you will receive the full force of my Anti Matter and afterwards, you will be destroyed and return to me. You have no hope to defeat me now."

Are you done yet? You really are pathetic, you have no personality or sense of self so far all of your attacks have been copies of mine you have no creativity, no sense of life, your resistance is nothing more than happenstance... besides if you are my opposite then that means I've gotten stronger while you are weaker... and I always come prepared, medium mp recovery item, followed by the hyakki yagyo, night parade of one hundred demons!

"So it seems it is not quite yet my time," said Cyrus as his body of sand began to get become undone. "Seems the universe has not yet decided it is time for destruction. That is fine. I am patient and can wait as long as I have to. Just remember that so long as there is creation there will be destruction at other end of the cycle. So long as you exist I can never truly be destroyed and a time will come when I will be the one that is all. Until then, enjoy my little parting gift. And you didn't think I had no sense of purpose. I can be quite the sore loser after all..."

His vanished with the sand leaving Thomas alone.

"Hey, wait a minute," said Thomas realizing he wasn't fattening up. "Give me my fat back! Jester! You better have 50 buffets ready for me because you don't want to meet me pissed!"

Cyrus Defeated.
Boss Defeated!

Humph typical doom and gloom... he uses destruction as an excuse to hide his lack of existence... also jester I've got a kick me sign with your name on it, you better watch yourself now that I can see my feet!

"You will get to face me next round soon enough, but let me assure you that all the stuff so far has been kid stuff compared to what I'm capable of. You can try all your might, but even your vast power is like a mosquito bite to me. I sure hope you do can keep me entertained when you come up against me. Oh, and you better make sure you are properly set up before our little game. I so hate sore losers after all and don't want you to claim it was because you were not ready."

Trust me, my record shows my team has never lost a battle and we completed our trials without any assistance from monsters. Besides I have a plan to deal with you jovial jackass.

HEY THAT WAS A JAB AT ME! and we havent even officially started our trials!

you arn't the only team with monsters so hush

Ralis and T Snake will take on their Trial now

your second trial is not done yet

Oh. Waiting on him?

and any other teams who have yet to complete the round

Are you going to be taking charge of your own character for this round of the trial then?

There is Drago a Yoshicorn and a Trouser Snake.

Generally I don't like the whole if the enemy is smaller or bigger since there isn't always a way to be certain and I don't think Machamps are known for voring. As another thing to consider this is near the end and there may not be much use for it. Food for thought.

Teddy stepped forward to take on his trial, unsure what would await him. "Sergal had to take on the mother of all spiders. What will I have to go against."

"That will be me!" howled a ghostly voice.

"Who's there?" called Teddy looking around the darkness. "Show yourself!"

"Don't you recognize me?" the voice spooked. "I am Bane Ghoul! The ghost of the bagel you ate many years ago! Now I am back for revenge!"

"Seriously?" said Sergal.

Boss Battle!

Just so you know, Slob Gas is an active ability so you don't cast it. When you are attacked by an enemy it poisons them.

That is also an active ability that boosts your stats. The only spell you can cast is Heal.
You also have the active ability Quad Strike that allows you to perform 4 attacks in one turn. You also have an inventory with 2 fire bombs, 2 grass bombs, 2 water bombs and some healing items. You can use 1 item a turn before you attack. If you are not sure about all this stuff you should consult the team stat gauges and the battle info document first.

alrighty then

I think I might have missed your new spell. Send me a note with the details about that and your new piece of equipment.

The equipment piece has 20 points to be used to boost your stats (20 STR/10 STR & 10 DEF/etc) you can also give it a special effect, but that will decrease the amount of points you can use

So the spell is Eat that makes you eat bagels from the Bagel Bag, your piece of equipment, correct? What does the Bagel Bag do and how does Eat do when it eats from the Bagel Bag?

which spell would you like to switch out for the eat spell?

Huh. Trial time?

Yuppers. And now it is time for Tagmer's team to partake in the event. Which member of Team Tagmer will be the first to take part?

as annoyed as i am with the jesters trickery and deceit. i have decided to let my kitsune friend lawyer blob handle that matter. in the meantime i will send rio in to handle his trial. i have faith in his abilities.

unfortunately yes. i'll discuss this with my kitsune lawyer to drag later, this shouldnt have happened yet but not much choice now. i'll send you in first. do you think you can handle it yourself?

Probably

very well then.

Would you wish to have any of your team's monster allies to help you in battle?

There is Sea Goom a Level 14 Goompapa.
Slider a Level 14 Hammer Bro.
Foodie a Level 13 Gourmet Guy.

Also know that each one can only be used once per trial.

I'll take Foodie with me.

Rio and Foodie walked into the room for their trial. Everything was quiet save for a low rumbling.

"Would you quiet that gut of yours," snapped Rio. "Sounds like some fierce monster."

"But that wasn't me," Foodie admitted.

"Then that means," Rio began to say as they turned to see the monsterous dino behind them ready to make bite-sized snacks of them.

And it's sweet, sweet, sweet victory, yeah!

Now you are able to decide on a new spell and a piece of equipment to equip.

The equipment piece will be be able to increase your stats by 20 points (e.g. 10 STR and 10 DEF/5 MAG and 15 BAR). You can choose to give it a special ability, but it will reduce the total number of points the piece of gear will boost your stats.

good job rio. very well done. ^^

Luke stepped forward for his trial, the room around him a large collosseum. "This place seems familiar somehow," he thought and felt the butterflies in his stomach multiply. "It can't be. Does this mean?"

"Hello," hissed a dark voice approaching Luke from the opposite corner. "I'm sure you remember me very well."

"It's you," gasped Luke. "The dark dragon Abyss. Why are you here? I have to do battle with you?"

"Seems that way," he chuckled. "Time to see which of us is truly the superior dragon!"
