Chapter 29: Final Confrontation Part 2

(To get to the Tower of Flanvel, we had to pass through the Kaiser [Kaisher?] Glacier. Lorena's cold-weather clothing comes in handy in times like these, unlike the rest of us)

All but Lorena: ::shivering like mad::

Lorena: Ha!

Nikole: ::in between shivers:: Hey, some of us come from warm climates!

Me: ::in between shiver:: Or, some of us have built-in fur coats.

All: ::looks toward Leroy::

Leroy: What?

Lorena: ANYWAY, we need to pass thru this glacier before we can get to the Tower of Flanvel. If we go up this pass, then we should be there in no time.

Nikole: You seem to know alot about this glacier

Lorena: Yeah, well, it's a good place to get away.

Nikole: Why? You got a great mom like Queen Megan.

Lorena: She's not my birth mother....my birth mother used to beat me. Then she left me and my dad. He wasn't that great either, but he got real sick and later died. Then I found Queen Megan.

All: ::stunned silence::

Boberto: ::whispering to Timoty:: That explains the dark evil act.

Timoty: Damn Tina, this game is heavy!

Me: Ya I know, and it's killing the humor part of my story. Let's move on.

Wesley: Who died and made you the leader?

Me: You will, if you don't shut it and follow Lorena.

Leroy: HA HA! Funny.

All: .....

(And we wandered around the glacier. We came across two peddlers, shivering in the middle of the glacier.)

Shannon: ::shivering:: Why are we here? There is nothing here except ice! And I'm cold!

Sammi: ::sitting amongst incence and meditation beads:: Pacience, Shannon! If we think lively, spirited thoughts, like the bohemians, we can be warm on the inside!

All: ??

Me: Oh, these are just my sister's friends.

Shannon: Look, Sammi, customers!

Sammi: I knew it! This dragon's blood incense helps attract business! ::Turns to us:: Can we interest you in hand-made jewerly?

Me: Will it protect us in battle?

Sammi: Battle? My dear, we must reject violence and be peaceful to our fellow man!

Wesley: Damn hippies.

Sammi: ::gasp:: Hippies?! Do not insult us!!

Shannon: Yeah. We bathe.

Sammi: WE are flower children!

All: Whatever.

(We still bought items from Sammi and weapons from Shannon. And then we moved on to the Tower of Flanvel. But not before we fight ::drum roll::)

THE MOST RANDOM BOSS EVER!

Wesley: What?

[I find it pretty self-explanatory]

::Screen dissolve, battle begins::

(This boss has absolutely NO POINT WHAT SO EVER. You attack it, it'll capture one of your party members, you kill the snow cannons, the monster spits you back out, you attack its heart, and it dies. It does not progress the storyline at all, it's just another ploy by the game's creators to make the third disk longer than the previous two.)

::Battle ends::

Wesley: Wow. That was random.

[Told ya]

(Finally, we come to the Tower of Flanvel. It's an interesting little structure that looks like a spiral and is covered in ice.)

Boberto: Why is that?

Timoty: I'm sure Tina has the answer to that.

Me: As a matter of fact, I do. Ya see, this used to be a flying fortress for the Winglies and a very powerful Wingly named Faust controlled it. Eventually, the Humans found a way to shoot down the Tower and Faust fell with it. And that's all I know.

Lorena: Yeah, and we hid the Moon Mirror at the top of that Tower, and Queen Megan is the key to getting it.

(Of course, to get to the top of the tower you go through more green teleporting devices, and it's very easy to get lost. Actually, if you get really really lost, you could wind up visiting the apparation of Faust. He's a creepy guy who doesn't wanna be disturbed, and if you try to get the item under him, you'll get in a battle with him. However, you can't attack him until you collect all 50 Stardust and get a certain stone from Martel/my mom. I've never collected 50 Stardust, so I've never tried to fight Faust, but he's super hard.)

All: Can we get on with it already?!

(Sorry. Anyway, if you don't get lost, you'll go up to the top of the Tower. There you find Jimbo [wearing some thick new armor] and Queen Megan. Enter heroes)

Jimbo: Thank you so much for the Moon Mirror. Now I can go deliver these to Emperor Diaz, so we can create our utopia.

Wesley: ::in true Dart fashion:: Not so fast!

Jimbo: ::mock gasp:: Oh no, the valient heroes are here. I'm soooo scared.

Me: You should be, you have no idea what I can do with this ::brandishes sword::

Jimbo: ::clutches my chin:: Why don't you show me, then?

Me: ::blushes:: I -- um -- uh.....

Wesley: Hey! Why don't you come over here so I can kick your ass!

Jimbo: Oh, still upset over your dear friend, Melvin?

Wesley: Don't you say his name!

Jimbo: ::draws Dragon Buster:: Melvin Melvin Melvin MELVIN

Wesley: ::runs toward Jimbo:: Bastard!

::Screen dissolves, battle begins::

(FINALLY! You get to fight Jimbo! And this time, you can actually hit him! Since he has the Dragon Buster, he can do heavy damage to Dragoons, but when you're in your Human form, it's just another sword. Jimbo does some fancy magic attacks that can damage you pretty bad, and he does his famous LLOYD SMACKDOWN, but as long you keep your party healthy, you'll beat him. Now, for the post-battle action)

[I'll be serious for this moment]

(Jimbo and Wesley stare at each other, their eyes filled with hatred. However, Jimbo is obviously weary from being defeated in battle. Wesley runs to Jimbo, ready to administer the final blow. Just then, Sacred Sister Katherine enters the chamber -- she sees Jimbo in danger, and places herself in between Wesley and Jimbo!)

Readers: ::gasp:: Katherine! No!

(Too late! Wesley slashes Katherine, leaving a huge gash on her back!)

Readers: How could you?!

Wesley : It's not my fault!

Katherine: Please....forgive....Jimbo

- - -

(Now everyone, including Queen Megan, is hanging outside the Tower, but Wesley, Jimbo, and Katherine are still at the top of the Tower)

Me: Boberto, shouldn't you be up there too? I mean, Melvin was your best friend.

Boberto: Me? What about you? Isn't Jimbo your boyfriend?

Me: EX-boyfriend, but we're not talking about me!

Boberto: Well, no I guess I shouldn't be up there, becuz it's not in the script

All: There is no script!!

Timoty: Yes, there is! See?! ::shows them the script::

All: Oh.

(Back in the Tower)

Jimbo: Why did you shield me?

Katherine: Because you saved me twice....I was returning the favor.

Wesley: Damn.

Katherine: Actually, the real reason I came here is to tell Wesley....Ania is gone

Wesley: What?!

Katherine: She was taken....by a man named....Emperor Diaz. He said, if you want Ania back...then bring Jimbo and the Moon Objects to Vellweb...

Jimbo: So, Emperor Diaz has decided to finally take matters into his own hands. ::stands up:: Well, if you want to kill me, you'd better do it now. I really don't think Emperor Diaz will mind very much if I don't show up to the party.

Wesley: ::readys his sword.....then throws it down and punches Jimbo in the jaw:: You're coming with us, and seeing this through! ::leaves::

Katherine and Jimbo: ::whew::

Wesley: ::returns:: Heh heh, forgot my sword ::sheepishly retrieves his sword, then leaves::
