Chapter 4

Sweet Memories-The Mist Monster

Without wasting a second, Jowy, Riou and Bolgan jumped forward to strike as Eilie and Rina had already thrown some knives at the Mist Monster but it just became transparent and the blades flew beyond their vision. (AN:Yup, dontcha hate missing? I sure do!)

Seeing the three melee attackers, it solidified and raised its arms.

Instinctively, all three crouched and readied themselves against an inevitable attack as Rina and Eilie dug out more knives. The malevolent being quickly brought its arms down in a wide arc. Its arms seemed to elongate rapidly canceling out the distance between the opposing force towards.

It would have hit him squarely on the head if he hadn't hopped away and given his sisters a chance to throw a few blades. This time, they didn't just pass through it. Instead it tore a deep hole in the monster's chest. The gaping hole seemed to knit itself as the monster backed away a little.

The battle continued with either side getting in a few hits. Of course, since the Mist Monster was alone, it was not able to retaliate much.

Soon it was being beaten so badly that it was regenerating too slow. Huge holes now peppered its chest and abdomen and arms.

When it tried to strike Riou in an act of desperation, Rina used the distraction to use her Fire Rune. Muttering some strange words, she gestured with arms and a huge ball of fire fell right smack on the mist monster. (AN:dontcha just LOVE that expression? SMACK!!! :P)

Riou, Jowy and Bolgan had just jumped back when the Mist Monster had been nailed with the fireball. Once the fire receded as quickly as it had come, everyone could see that it was beaten. The monster shivered a few times as if trying to muster some strength, then just faded into nothingness.

Just when they were about to celebrate, all the fog swirled around.

*No! Not again!* Eilie's thoughts echoed everyone else's.

Quickly taking a gulp of some medicine and then handing it to his companions, Riou stood up and tightened his bandage as the thick air began to mold itself into the shape of a woman with wings.______________________________________________________________________________

AN-

JUST when you thought it was over!

The descriptions of the monsters might not be accurate 'cuz I haven't fought with them for a LOONG time.

I've played Suikoden 2 three times.

The first time I played rather haphazardly. I didn't even know anything about the game-I didn't even buy the CD! (my friend gave it to me cuz he got it for free when buying another CD and he doesn't have a PS). So my castle was pretty small; my characters were pretty crappy. When I found FAQs for the game, I restarted my journey towards destiny, to complete Suikoden 2.

The second time I played, I played properly. Things were going fine until the last stage. I fought with the Beast Rune and its manifestation one time. I didn't even finish the goddamned battle but I suddenly just quit! There were many reasons for this. Mainly, I didn't know Nanami would die and hadn't prepared anybody to take her place. So I had to put Lo Wen in her place.

Then when I installed an emulator, I decided to complete the game. And I did! I had Eilie, Riou, Rina, Flik, Viktor and Humphrey with me. It was pretty easy. I could've fought about six more rounds before my team was completely dead!

I love this team!

Humphrey Flik Viktor

Eilie Nanami/Rina Riou

oh and, what's cooler than Viktor on a Rage rune???

Answer-NOTHING!!!

(maybe Humphrey AND Viktor on a Rage Rune!!!)

*dies of ecstasy*
