Final Fantasy has been one of those series I’ve always meant to get into, but never got around to getting the games. Something else always came up. As it is, I’ve only played IV (never reached the end; the DS version is hard!), and Tactics A2. That being said, I loved them both, and do have some limited knowledge about the rest of the series, including one very special Nu Mou. Ezel Berbier didn’t have much of a role in A2, but after looking him up and reading his lines and role in Tactics Advance, I really started to like the guy. He’s a loveable, snarky troll of a mad scientist, and surprisingly cute in a trance to boot! Heck, he’s even playable in Advance, albeit not very good from what I’ve heard (sky-high Magic and not a single ability that makes use of it?! What was Square Enix thinking?!)
I’ve actually seen a handful of pictures of Ezel hypnotizing someone, but as far as I know, this is the first of him on the receiving end.
…Come to think of it, I’ve seen little to nothing of any Nu Mou hypnotized. I don’t get why; they’re adorable!
Ezel smiled as he locked his door; business had been booming since Clan Gully’s final battle with Khamja, and without the usual torrent of ticked-off customers! That fight had become famous; Hurdy had written a song about it, and Montblanc had been sure to inform any magical expert he could find of the creature that had crossed over. Suddenly, clan after clan was attempting to crack down on Khamja, and a card that could keep them alive was in high demand.
Who would have thought nearly ending the world could make enemies?
He was still trying to figure out a thank-you gift for the two; he could send Montblanc and his old clan one of his cards, but Hurdy already had one, and if he was being honest, he wasn’t sure how much use it would be to people who mainly dealt with monster hunts. Worse yet, all he knew of Hurdy was his love of making music; he was far from a musical expert, and he wasn’t on good terms with anyone who was except… well, Hurdy.
Somehow, asking someone to assist in making their own thank you gift just felt rude.
The sound of something clattering snapped the Nu Mou from his thoughts. He knew he’d gotten that shelf fixed; he either needed a new repairman, new furniture, or he was being robbed. In case of that last one, he was already casting Astra as he headed upstairs. It never hurt to be prepared…
Kaa hid under a desk as he heard the sound of footsteps. He was looking for shelter, not a fight; there had been too many hunters after him recently. Hopefully whoever lived here lived alone… One quick ambush and he should be set.
The snake lunged, spirals at the ready as the Nu Mou stepped through the door. The spellcaster’s mouth fell open at the sight of the colors, tongue flopping out as he stared into the swirls. Kaa moved his head about, and his victim followed, eyelids drooping as he started to smile. Soon enough, his eyes had shut, his head hanging low as he fell asleep.
Kaa blinked in confusion. He’d had victims fall asleep when he told them to, but usually, they couldn’t get enough of the colors. People generally didn’t have the same reactions, but really?
The snake tapped his subject’s snout with his tail as he murmured in his sleep. No reaction.
Kaa leaned in close ‘til they were face to face, his eyes whirling with color. If he was faking, he was in for a big surprise. What was he saying, anyways?
Kaa managed to catch the last word: Azoth.
The last thing Kaa saw before he passed out was the starry night sky…
Ezel snickered as he looked at the sleeping snake. He loved that spell; it might have quite the charge time, but there was no denying the usefulness of putting all your enemies to sleep. He’d heard rumors of a hypnotic snake, how hunters would be found spellbound and spiral-eyed with a smile, or simply not found at all. Montblanc had even posted a Mark. Hypnotic eyes were hardly a first among monsters; he’d once made the mistake of glancing into a Fire Drake’s eyes, and spent the next few minutes in a blissful red haze as he unknowingly smacked his allies silly with a staff. Astra had proven sufficient protection for future Fire Drake encounters; apparently, it worked here, too.
Now what to do with him…
Kaa woke up pinned to the floor, ropes wrapped around him and held down with stakes. Try as he might, he couldn’t slip free. What in the world?!
Ezel gave him a cheery “Good Morning!” as he strolled past the snake. Had he slept well?
Kaa glared; all he needed was one good angle…
THERE!
Kaa’s eyes filled with spirals, Ezel staring deep into them…
And taking notes.
What?!
The Nu Mou smirked. Apparently, the snake’s spirals counted as a charm ability; how nice to know! Good thing that after that ambush, he’d gone and bought protective equipment. Lovely how he could swap out the colors!
Realizing the position he was in, the snake panicked. What was he going to do with him?!
Ezel’s eyes lit up. Well, that was a nice surprise! He could talk! He’d heard as much from the rumors, but it was always better to confirm. To answer his question… he’d like Kaa to hypnotize him.
…Was he serious?
Ezel chuckled; as much as he ever was! He owed some thank-you gifts, and the snake – did he have a name?
Kaa gave it, and Ezel introduced himself. He then resumed without missing a beat. Kaa had given him some ideas. He’d like to study Kaa, his ability, its effects. The information would be useful, to monster researchers and to anyone hunting Kaa or something with similar abilities. And with some help, they could create new instruments for controlling monsters, open up a whole new job class to another species.
Kaa raised an eye ridge; so, he would do this so that people would have an easier time killing him and fighting monsters? Why would he agree to this?
Ezel gave a grim response. Because the alternative was killing him and sending what was left to Montblanc himself.
The snake gulped.
…He was kidding! Really, he wasn’t a fan of unnecessary death. Kaa would be benefiting as well, of course! As long as he was helping, Ezel would provide meals, shelter, and an escape route when he wanted to leave. He’d also have a lot of monsters to hypnotize, and some people as well. That being said, no eating people; as much as he loved annoying the authorities, he’d rather not be suspected of serial murder. On top of that, Kaa would be getting the greatest gift of all: him!
Kaa could only stare in confusion at this point.
He’d let Kaa hypnotize him, do what he wanted with him, on a few conditions: he wanted to remember it, remain himself, and not be eaten. He was also going to need at least some moments of lucidity for experiments and instrument design.
…As completely insane as this was, it was probably his best bet. Alright, Ezel had a deal. Now, if he could untie him?
Ezel smiled. Not a problem!
The Nu Mou walked about, uprooting stakes and freeing the snake. Soon enough, Kaa was free, rising up until he towered over Ezel.
Ezel unhooked an earring, a small diamond instead of one of his usual rainbow rings. He was hypnotizable now; best of luck!
Kaa smirked. None needed!
Ezel’s eyes shot open as the snake’s swirled with colors; without the filter of Astra or the Ruby Earring, the spirals were beautiful! Ring after rapturous ring pulsed as it pulled him in deeper, his thoughts drifting off in a swirling, soothing stream. Kaa called him closer, and the Nu Mou couldn’t help but obey, his pupils shrinking to pinpricks as he stepped over. (He didn’t know why he wouldn’t; the colors felt so good…) A smile crept up on Ezel’s face as the snake’s tail crept up his body, softly stroking his fur.
The pleasure only increased from there; coiled and cuddled, squished and snuggled, a tail scratching him behind the ear – Ezel was in heaven. The Nu Mou moaned and panted in delight, his tongue flopping out as his tail wagged behind him. He’d never felt so relaxed, so carefree, so happy in his life, not a thought in his head but of the colors, the coils, and the wonderful snake who’d made it all possible. Kaa chuckled, and called him a good boy, a phrase that sent shivers down his spine. It just felt right somehow.
Kaa continued, every word filling Ezel’s empty head: how he was a good boy to look into the colors. How a good boy was cuddly and cute. How a good boy was a loving pet to their master, a snake that showered them in swirling colors. How their master took care of their every thought and bit of free will, leaving lots of room in their heads for colors and commands. How a good boy took care of their master’s every need – food, protection, transportation, conversation, anything – and how their master loved them in return, cherishing them with coils, with cuddles, with colors.
Eyes whirling with color, tail wagging at warp speed, drool dripping off his tongue, Ezel agreed with a silly smile. He was a good boy! He’d be Master’s good boy! He’d do anything for him, because he loved Master and his colors!
A tug on the neck, and with a PING! Ezel broke out into the goofiest grin he had ever made.
Kaa snickered as he scratched Ezel behind the ear, the hypnotized Hermetic happily panting. Who’d have thought Nu Mou were so close to canines? It would certainly be an interesting note for his cuddly collaborator!
He was a snake of his word; he’d help with the eccentric’s experiments. Everyone would be leaving unharmed at the end of this, unchanged save for some triggers, and the Nu Mou would remember all of it. That being said, he was going to have fun with this; Ezel had provided the opportunity for so many pets!
Speaking of which…
With a smirk, he turned to his pet. Was there anyone he knew who was particularly cute, who could be easily managed? Go missing without much notice, or have their absence easily explained?
Without a second’s hesitation, Ezel rattled off a description of a white Nu Mou, a real stick in the mud who’d been so much fun to mess with…
Good boy. Now, one more question:
Would Ezel like a belly rub?
The answer was a resounding yes.
I’ve actually seen a handful of pictures of Ezel hypnotizing someone, but as far as I know, this is the first of him on the receiving end.
…Come to think of it, I’ve seen little to nothing of any Nu Mou hypnotized. I don’t get why; they’re adorable!
