Hello everyone, here is chapter 2 of Zosma Tower! I'm amazed at how much people like this story, and I hope that this chapter is as successful as the last. Review and tell me what you think. Flames are welcome and will be posted on my List Of Flames, which is currently empty... Oh, if anyone knows Ungyo or Agyo's special attacks, please let me know!
Disclamer: I do not own Namco or Baten Kaitos. If I did, everything would have been a lot more Lyude-centric.
"What is THAT!?" asked Gibari, referring to the two giant wooden monsters that none of the 6 characters had noticed until that point. But before anyone could answer, the monsters attacked...
"I should have leveled everyone up more, or looked for some better attacks. They're all going to die again!!!" The Guardian Spirit thought.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned towards the Guardian Spirit, or where they thought the Spirit was, which turned out to be the same exact place every time.
"We're going to die?!" Xelha panicked.
"What do you mean again?" Savyna asked.
"The Great Mizuti be invincible! But not against these. Nope. Exception," said the Great Mizuti while receiving a death-glare from the Guardian Spirit.
"Namco...Namco..." muttered Lyude.
"Don't worry! You'll be fine...maybe..."
Before anyone could respond, one of the monsters started to attack Kalas. As soon as this happened, Savyna, Gibari and the Great Mizuti were transported to the Baten Kaitos Sidelines, a place Namco decided to send half of your characters every time you needed to battle, even though in real life all six of them would be fighting or they would get thrown off the team.
"Namco?" Lyude asked, momentarily distracted from the battle.
"How did you hear that, Lyude? It was part of the narration, you can't hear the narration! Now go kill the wooden things!"
As Kalas, Xelha, and Lyude all battled Ungyo and Agyo, the Guardian Spirit became more and more frantic.
"Lyude! Use the Vinegar! Why aren't you using the Vinegar?!"
"I didn't draw the Vinegar Magnus!" Lyude cried in the middle of a string of attacks.
"Why should you have to draw it? You have it, don't you? That makes no sense! In real life-I mean...STOP BEING DISTRACTED!!!"
Lyude went back to fighting the monsters, but he couldn't ignore the Guardian Spirit's strange comments. He was pretty sure his life was 'real'. He was also noticing that the Spirit was harder on him than anyone else.
"Lyude, start weakening the blue one!" Kalas commanded, "we shouldn't wait until the end to attack it."
"Kalas is right," Xelha added, "If we kill one and the other is still perfectly fine, it'll be a lot harder."
"No! If you can at least kill one you have a chance! Everyone attack the red one with water! NOW!!! You can't die again!"
"Die again..?" Lyude asked. He was becoming pretty stressed out.
Click!
"What was that!?!?" Lyude panicked.
"Relax Lyude! Xelha just took a picture, is all," Kalas told him.
"No pictures! Only attacks! Do not waste moves! Keep fighting!!!" The Spirit yelled to Xelha.
"Sorry! " Xelha called back.
"Less talking, more fighting!" The Spirit yelled.
Kalas and Xelha joined Lyude in the fight again. It was obvious that the party was loosing strength, but no matter how hard they tried they couldn't seem to weaken even one of the monsters. The battle dragged on and on, and everyone had realized that the Spirit had already given up hope. Ungyo turned to Kalas and launched a string of attacks, ending in it's Special Attack. Kalas took one last breath and fell to the floor.
Xelha and Lyude both turned towards Kalas's body in shock. This was the first time they had seen him defeated.
"Oh my God, they killed Kalas!" shouted Lyude.
"Those b------!!!" screamed Xelha.
Meanwhile, in the Baten Kaitos Sidelines...
"How do you think they're doing?" Gibari asked the two girls beside him.
"I don't know. Those things looked pretty tough, and they've been out there for a while," Savyna said.
"They be needing the Great Mizuti! The Great Mizuti be strong! Great! Amazing! Invincible!.." The Great Mizuti rambled. She kept on going, not showing any signs of stopping, "Incredible! Remarkable..."
Gibari looked at her for a moment before turning to Savyna. "How long do you think she'll go on this time?
Savyna just glared at the Great Mizuti. And glared. And glared. And glared some more. But Mizuti just...kept...talking...
"Powerful! Outstanding..."
Savyna began to twitch.
"Wonderful! Marvelous..."
Savyna started clenching her fists and took a step forward.
"Astonishing! Fantastic..."
"Savyna, I'm sure she'll stop soon..." Gibari said, trying to soothe her.
"Supercalifragilsticexpi-"
"Prepare for death, Earth Child!!!" Savyna screamed as she launched forwards. The Great Mizuti immediately stopped talking and ran, although there isn't much room in the Baten Kaitos Sidelines. Soon, Savyna had cornered the Great Mizuti and began punching her continuously, ending with Burning Arrow. The Great Mizuti fell to the floor and laid there, unmoving.
"So much for invincible," Savyna said as she sat down again.
"Savyna, what are the others going to think when they see you killed Mizuti?"
"They'll thank me. That twerp was getting on everyone's nerves."
"..." Gibari said...uh...didn't say.
"You killed Kalas! You will die!!!" Xelha yelled as she ran blindly at the two monsters. When she was about two feet away, she jumped up to start a string of Water and Light blows. But before she could launch even one, Agyo started assaulting her with Fire attacks. Lyude watched in horror as Xelha staggered backwards and fell to the ground.
"No...they've defeated Kalas and Xelha and we weren't even able to weaken one of them..." Lyude said in shock. He crawled into a nearby corner and started rocking back and forth. "Dead...no hope...Namco..."
The Guardian Spirit, who had completely given up hope a long time ago, looked over at Lyude. He was in the fetal position, rocking and twitching and muttering. Suddenly, the Spirit got an idea.
"Lyude! Namco!"
"...Namco..." Lyude repeated.
'Yes, Namco, Lyude. Namco, Namco Namco!"
Lyude's twitching became worse and his rocking more violent. "Namco...what is...Namco..."
"Namco!"
Lyude's eyes became wide, and he curled himself into a ball. "Na-Namco. Namco...Namco...Namco..."
"Lyude, those monsters, they are Namco!!!"
Lyude's eyes bugged out so far it looked as if they would fall out. He stopped rocking and stood up. Turning towards Ungyo and Agyo, he twitched one last time.
"NAMCO MUST DIE!!!" he screamed. He ran at two monsters at full speed, shooting them again and again.
"Namco! Namco Namco Namco!"
"DEATH TO NAMCO!!!" Lyude yelled even more violently than before. He used Diminuendo to land on Ungyo's neck and started attacking relentlessly. Every time one of the monsters tried to attack, he launched strings of attacks so long that they didn't have time to do anything but try to defend itself.
CRACK!
Agyo's head flew off and landed on the opposite side of the room. It's body collapsed into a pile of wood then disappeared.
"How does a body just disappear like that?" The Spirit wondered.
"Huh?" Lyude asked, halfway coming out of his trance.
"Shoot! Um, NAMCO NAMCO NAMCO NAMCO NAMCO!!!"
"NAMCO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" he shrieked. It was so loud that even the living party members in the Baten Kaitos Sidelines could hear.
"What was that?" Gibari asked.
"I'm not sure," Savyna said. "It sounded a lot like Lyude..."
"Namco, Namco! Lyude, it has caused you so much pain! So much confusion! It killed your friends! Kill it, Lyude! Kill Namco!"
"NAMCO...WILL...DIE!!!" Lyude screeched. He gathered all his energy and launched one final attack at the remaining enemy. It's chest caved in and it dropped to the floor.
"Yes!!! Go Lyude!!!"
After reviving Kalas and Xelha, Lyude looked towards Ungyo's body. "Finally...the evil is gone." he said.
The body disappeared, and as soon as this happened, the party members banished to the BK Sidelines magically appeared.
"Lyude, you did it!" Xelha said happily.
Lyude came out of his trance once he heard his name. "Did...what?"
"You killed the monsters! Don't you remember?" Kalas asked.
"Yeah Lyude! You killed Un- I mean, you killed Namco!"
"Is that what they were called?" Gibari asked.
"Yeah...lets go with that."
"Um, Gibari? Savyna? What happened to Mizuti?" Xelha asked, noticing that the Great Mizuti was in a heap on the ground.
"...she was getting on my nerves..." Savyna said.
"Yes!!! Thank you!!!"
"Here...I'll just give her some Wheat Crackers..." Lyude said. He was much too nice for his own good. He gave the Great Mizuti the crackers and helped her up.
"The Great Mizuti be fine!" she said. "I told you I be invincible! Unstop-"
"You'll shut up if you know what's good for you," Savyna said menacingly. The Great Mizuti stopped talking.
"Why, Lyude? Everything was so perfect..."
"Um, sorry?" Lyude said, confused at why the Spirit seemed annoyed with him.
"Whatever. It's fine. We can use her as bait or something..."
"Use the Great Mizuti for what???" The Great Mizuti demanded.
"...Anyways...what did you guys do in the Sidelines this whole time?" The spirit asked.
"First," started the Great Mizuti, "we was-"
"Gibari, Savyna, what did you two do this whole time?" The Spirit cut in.
"Well," Gibari said, " after Savyna knocked out Mizuti-"
"The GREAT Mizuti!"
'Nobody cares!"
"The Great Mizuti be offended!" she said.
"The Great Mizuti will be quiet or I'll have Savyna attack you again!"
Everyone was quiet for a moment, as nobody had anything left to say.
"Um...maybe we should go to the roof now," Gibari said.
"Right! We have to stop Krumly!" Kalas agreed. Everyone else nodded and walked over to the yellow block.
Right before he got on, Lyude looked back.
"You have been defeated, Namco."
So, how did you like it? If anyone wants it, I might post a roof chapter or Lyude's epilogue to this. So even though I'm marking this as Complete, I might add some more later.
I'd like to thank all my reviewers so far: Audinale55, Fan Fan Girl, freakyanimegal456, and anonymous reviewer Leon!
