  18. [spoiler=Chronicle 11]lIAPCUE.png

    Untide, the capital of Maletta, fell and was destroyed. Chester the tactician had acted in concert with rebellious elements within the Grandall Empire to advance a plan for rebellion. But the plan had collapsed and the rebels were executed.

    Dervus had caused the destruction of an entire country by his own hand... He felt a complex mix of emotions. He wondered what Abelia would say at a time like this, and then it occurred to him. What had happened to Abelia!? Communications with the Grandall forces engaged in Dalkia were still cut off.

    Without waiting for orders from headquarters, Dervus once again headed for Dalkia.

    UJtreKJ.png

    Girardot: "Abelia? Are you all right?"

    Abelia: "General Girardot! And...oh!"

    Girardot: "Save your thanks for Dervus. He just charged out without waiting for orders."

    Abelia: "You! I never asked you to... to rescue me..."

    Girardot: "Oh, brother. Anyway, what happened to the others?"

    Abelia: "..."

    Girardot: "I see. You've done well, all by yourself."

    Their strongholds have unique conditions, too.

    J73RHcx.png

    Here we go.

    Lupi's stronghold makes all of her attacks unblockable and wreathes your character in flames, though I'm not sure what that does (if anything)... still, her unblockable attacks by themselves are bad enough.

    p64nfCg.png

    Lupi: "Lu...Luna... Forgive me..."

    KIDRWPf.png

    Heal-Do's stronghold has a slippery floor and gives her slowly-regenerating health. She's not too tough.

    UWlYRuM.png

    Heal-Do: "No! I cannot fall here..."

    2NYI2sw.png

    Elua's stronghold constantly pushes you away from her and if she knocks you up into the air, you fly way up high. She's also impossible to ring-out. But she's also not really too tough.

    EJaXtvx.png

    Elua: "I'm sorry. I couldn't... hold them back..."

    cro66UT.png

    And finally... oh God, this fight. This is arguably even harder than Hyle in Chronicle 10. I don't know why I didn't remember this... maybe I repressed the memory.

    Aege's stronghold has Quake and makes her the fucking Juggernaut- you can't throw her, and she doesn't flinch or move when hit; she will keep on kicking your ass even while you're flailing at her. Oh, and have I mentioned that Iron Sword is a broken, overpowered style? I have? Well. I feel that bears repeating.

    The only upside is that her weapon hurts her a little bit when she attacks, and sometimes she ring-outs herself- but don't count on that happening often.

    Aege: "Y...you... shall... not... pass..."

    Well, we passed- but not without difficulty. Now it's time to face Luna.

    Luna: "Huh? I've never heard of her. Now, draw your swords! I'll make quick work of you!"

    hrbDMJU.png

    0zpGpJp.png

    ...oh

    So Luna here is using Soul Calibur: the sword the game is named after. It's a sentient weapon and the counterpart to Soul Edge. Soul Edge is evil, but that shouldn't be taken to mean that Soul Calibur is good. If you're familiar with Babylon 5, think of Soul Edge as a Shadow and Soul Calibur as a Vorlon- both are equally destructive, and neither one really has any concern for human life.

    Anyway, Luna's AI is pretty fucking tough, but after beating Aege she's kind of an anti-climax.

    (30 savestates later)

    OK I TAKE IT BACK HOLY CRAP PLEASE DIE ALREADY

  19. Enemy Phase

    ...

    It's too quiet.

    Other Phase

    A pair of voices break the silence.

    "You know, when you said you wanted to take a detour for knowledge, I didnt expect you to mean the nearby ruins..."

    "Oh, lighten up, Lloyd! I thought you liked smart stuff and old history. Your nose is always in a book!"

    "I may like learning, but not about ancient histroy and archaeology! I like learning about current things! Ruins and bones are just creepy. Plus, it's cold outside..."

    "Oh, stop whining, it's an adventure and it's fun! Besides, we just finished a good job, we should take a break before we head back. We'll camp here for the night and leave early morning!"

    "But Phyllis... *sigh* fine, I guess we'll leave tomorrow..."

    (Lloyd and Phyllis stay where they are)
