Rest in peace, Evil Sorceress!

The cracked pavement leading to a thirty-foot thick, marbled door stretches before you. This is going to be your final encounter with the once-revived sorceress. Once again, you remind yourself. You are here to put an end to Adel's tyranny using the Trinity sword, and also to retrieve Rinoa before she gets consumed.

Taking a deep breath, Hadrian opens his mouth. "Once we're there, are we to just stab Adel and she'll bite the dust? Can we plan who's going to cover who and who's going to attack." He points at the grand door. "And who's going to bust through that?"

Right after Hadrian finishes his speech, a shrilling cry bursts from inside the fortress. This voice--it's Rinoa!

(LMAO! The ST avvie XD Shake it like a polaroid peekcha!)

Jun gazed up at the castle's door, her eyes steeling at what they had to face behind it. The final confrontation with Adel. It had to be final; Adel had to die, even if they had to sacrifice their lives to do it. There was no but about it.

She clamped Hadrian's arm in a deathgrip when she heard Rinoa crying out from within the castle.

"Do you hear that? We don't have time for planning!" She threw her glance at the door, a formidable barrier between them and Adel. The echo of Rinoa's cry, amplified by the rocky cliffs did nothing but strain her taut nerves

"I don't think our weapons can hack through that thing? It seems to be made of a thick wall of stone." She jerked her head at the door. "Maybe we can blow it up without throwing ourselves off the cliff?"

(>.< I don't know what the door is made of...feel free to edit if it's not stone Ani)

Vanesse looked up at the gigantic door before them. Thanks to Rinoa's cry, the tension all over the place doubled. She should've expected that the door leading to Adel wasn't the kind that one could open with a doorknob.

"I suppose we could use a high-level magic to create an opening, or a GF that can attack the door open," she stuttered. "I have Tornado, but that might blow us back off cliff, if I call my GF, then he might blow us still with his cyclone." She scratched her head. "I know, I know, I'm useless." She stepped back.

Another shrilling cry was heard from the inside. Stardust dragged the Trinity sword in front of the thick, marbled door and started hitting it repeatedly, creating dent after dent after dent. Her GF was useless, and the strongest magic she had equipped was Holy. How could a Light-based spell break down a stone door.

"Damnit...open up!" She aggressively hit the door once again. It was like a hitting an impenetrable wall. She swung the sword repeatedly. "OPEN UP! OPEN UP! OPEN UP!" Adel was on the other side, and they couldn't get to her because of a stupid door? The frustration seeping into her was driving her insane.

"ADEL!!" shouted the pinkhead.

/Keep going and you'll break the sword!/ That probably wouldn't happen, but Diwata knew her futile assaults to the door were useless and nothing but a frustration fit.

Stardust paused to breathe. "Blaze! Burn a hole through this door!" She impatiently commanded.

"I still say let someone's GF attack the door. My GF is no good over stone objects." Hadrian avoided looking at Stardust and looked at Jun instead. Insane

"I still say let someone's GF attack the door. My GF is no good over stone objects." Gemma gazed at the stone gate. Unless they were dealing with the dead, Calypso would be of no use either. Half-amused, her eyes were drawn to a shock of pink hair who eemed determine to shatter that sword against the stone. However, rather than offend the tempermental SeeD, Gemma approached the gate to inspect it herself.

As she touched the stone's cool surface, metallic-green dust coated her fingertips. How odd... Puzzled, Gemma felt the gate again, this time rubbing the entire palm of her hand against the door. The material felt almost like tiny crystals that had been shattered into to dust fragments.

//Not all doors are forged from wood and rock//

Gemma clapped her hand over her mouth, and whirled around to face the others.

As Jax stood by the others, he noticed a small smile slowly forming on his sister's face. He hated this look. It was that triumphant smirk that appeared everytime Gemma found the solution to a math problem or made some other victory in her small world of books.

Watching the others scratch their heads to find some way to break through the gate, Jax's own curiousity was peaked now. "What are you so happy about?" he asked her.

Gemma grinned widely. "T-The Gate! It-it looks like its made of stone, but really! It's a compost made from the same decompressed curse spikes ..perhaps even malboro tentacles...eitherway, its the stuff that we used to refine Bio spells! So..so..if my observations are correct...this gate it's--it's sick basically! If it were a monster, it would be of the Toxin Element! So..
if you believe me..and this may sound unbelievable..." Her voice faltered for moment.

"All we have to do is remedy it!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry random idea. Your charries can debunk this idea if it doesn't follow the story. ;P

bun

Polaris was expressionless.

As usual.

"Remedy?" she asked in a deadpan voice, her dark eyes on Gemma's face. It was difficult to tell just by looking at her, if she took the other woman seriously or not. "You mean to tell me that this impenetrable wall is just--- I don't know, a sickness, and the way to remove it is to heal it?"

A pause.

Then Polaris shrugged. "Well, as I have no brilliant theories of my own, I'm inclined to agree with you." Again with the deadpan voice. She was tired and she'd been cut open; she had an excuse for slight crankiness. "The best person to do the job would be Infinity and her shiny, fairy, healer of a Guardian Force, then." She looked at the pink-haired one. "Go get 'em, tigress."

Deo rubbed his temples and closed his eyes.

"We solve one thing and just come to another stopping point. It never ends! I bet getting to Adel is harder than actually fighting her. Or maybe her plan is to wear us out so by the time we finally reach her we'll be too dead tired to lift a finger. In fact..." Deo let out a lazy yawn.

"You close your eyes and I swear you'll never open them again!!" Blaze threatened. "Stardust, open the damn door already!!"

Deo circled his finger around his ear, signifying that Blaze was crazy.

"I SAW THAT" Blaze thwapped him in the head.

Surprisingly, Stardust didn't put up a struggle.

Diwata, try it. Stabbing the ground frustratedly, she withdrew her hand from the sword and placed it on her forehead.

/You want me to kiss this moss-covered wall? No, thank you./

Come out. Now.

/T-tell them to splash it with a hi-potion. I only kiss living things./

"Diwata, damn you! Hurry up!"

Light formed above Stardust as the fairy materialized. Hovering in front of the antique door, she gently pressed her palms against it and paused. Smoke slowly seeped around the area that her palms were in contact. With the exception of her flapping wings, every limb of her seemed to have been frozen.

Creasing her forehead, Stardust watched in anticipation. What is she doing?!

"Hey!"

In a split-second, she planted a kiss on the door before shattering into small light orbs and into nothingness. A few more seconds of silence and a tremor occured.

Stardust felt her GF move back in her mind. /I....I REALLY HATE YOU. I really do! I tasted it! It was st-sticky and rotting and hard. That was the most repugnant kiss I have had in my 10,000 years of life. How could you do this to me? Barbaric GFs like Deathstrike or Sapphire would've been sufficient enough to crash through, but nooo, you just have to torture me because you and your stupid team are too useless enough to.../ And everything she said had all become a big blah blah blah to Stardust.

Before them, the tremor continued. An unearthly cry broke through the air as if it belonged to the humongous door. The sound of something cracking ensued. The next thing she knew, a huge crack had started spreading across its vast exterior, branching in and out from top to bottom. It was going to break!

Stardust's eyes widened and a sick smile spread on her lips. Her smile suddenly died down when the tremor stopped and everything became quiet once again.

Suddenly, the door explodes! Large pieces of stone-like composts were thrown towards all of you and you have no choice but to steer clear from the door. There is someone who has been firing at it from the inside. The impact of the magic is strong that it made the impenetrable door crumble like clay. As soon as the firing is over, the entrance becomes clouded by a thick, dark smoke.

You move back in front of the entrance to see what happened. As soon as you get close enough, you see ball of light form behind the black smoke. It then gets bigger and bigger before you realize that it's coming towards your direction. You start to move out of the way until you've realized that you've been paralyzed from foot to waist!

"Use the GF as shields!" shouts one of you.

I...I can't move. Jun stared mutedly at debris from the exploded door hurtling towards them. She shut her eyes tightly, holding an arm out to block out whatever she could bracing herself for impact from the dangerous projectiles.

But she could sense from beneath her closed eyelids a flash of illumination. Opening them cautiously, a brightness flooded her vision, and she could barely make out a dragon's form outlined against the light. Sapphy spread out protectively in front of her, with a glance thrown her way explicitly forbidding her from stepping forward.

"NO Sapphy you'll get hurt!"

----

Jaime, let me out! Pupu was adamant. He rarely had a chance to do anything for Jaime, this time he would not have it any other way! What kind of GF would he be if he just let her get hurt without doing anything?

Puuup you'll get knocked out! You already have spirals for eyes what's that gonna do to you? I can't begin to imagine!

SUMMON ME! Pupu was adamant, and Jaime seldom heard him raising his voice. Reluctantly she summoned him.

"Come back to me if you can't take it any more, or I won't forgive you!" Jaime faked a sulk, peering anxiously in front at the pieces of destruction heading for them. She glanced at Van, Deo and the other SeeDs. This was definitely not good, many of them were still exposed to being hurt.

"Hey you guys better take cover!" Jaime shouted across, readying a Curaga spell in her left hand.

Rayden shot a quick glance at Jaime, thinking it was probably too late for taking cover. Besides he didn't want to let Ariadnialla out. There would be hell, or at least decades of his life doing favours to pay for it if he let her take the brunt of these attacks, whining about her beautiful unblemished skin and whatnot. There had to be another way out!

"Everyone duck, INCOMING FLARE!" He yelled, releasing a sizzling humoungous Flare at the offending pieces with a slient prayer to Hyne.

[Lex]

There was a flurry of light, panic, and voices, muddled and blurred in Sho's head, and the only thing he could do was windmill his arms stupidly when a bright Flare spell illuminated the space beside him--- one of the Opps, or whatever it was they called themselves.

GF to block, GF to block, GF to block--- Sho focused his thoughts and then felt the Guardian Force stirring. He couldn't move, but Zephyr could, and while Zephyr was around Sho would be relatively safe, and besides, Zephyr was a huge, hulking green bird thing, he could take a blow or two.

[Lex]

Sorry so short
--------------------------------------

Stella heard the yell and looked up her eyes widening. She threw herself to the ground sheilding her head.

[Lex]

With her heart pounding, Stardust looked around, seeing the different reactions of her teammates. She knew she HAD to act too. Bringing her hand forward, Diwata appeared in front of her as a shield. No matter what happens, she had to face Adel in perfect condition.

I'm sorry, Diwata. Rayden prepared to cast Flare. Somehow, she hoped his counter would work. Even just a little.

[Lex]

Vanesse came to a resolve. Paridge wouldn't die from this kind of attack. She was going to summon him--and she did. In a flash, a huge griffin materialized in front of her.

"Come on, come on!" She placed a hand behind Paridge's feathery back for 'support' in case he gets blown by the impact.

[Lex]

Hadrian noticed how often he liked to curse whenever he was pushed into a quick decision. How could he sacrifice CQ? He couldn't. How could he duck like a wimp? He couldn't, especially when the best duck he could do was a bow. That wouldn't help at all.

Rayden was going to counter with a flare. Flare.

"Right magic," he muttered and mustered to conjure up a Blizzaga spell at the instant Rayden fired his. Hundreds of crackling ice moved towards Adel's ball of fire like a snake.
