Note to Xelfan12: It doesn't matter what any of the other co-authors plan
unless they tell you. Just write whatever! But I did want to do with
plans, yes.

Note to Mike: HUGGLES!

Another Note to Mike: If you were wondering, that was just so I could write
a note to you so you wouldn't feel left out and have a Note to Gerby next
time you write. .

"Okay, what are they?" asked Xelkitti, a pen already poised over a clean
sheet of paper.
"Xelkitti, they're called lost for a reason, you know," said Verath, "I need
to go FIND them from Dynast's tinder-filled ice-incased hunk of metal he
calls a file cabinet, then I need to READ them to see if they are at all
useful, and what little spells survive that screening have to be STOLEN."
"Oh," said Xelkitti, looking slightly put out.
"Saej will go do that while we're planning," he added.
"I will?" asked Saej.
"Yep, no ifs ands or buts. Shoo," ordered Verath.
"Why can't HE go?" Saej pointed at Gaaz, who was acting out a play using
pieces of licorice. It was a very violent play.
"Because he's a Ryuuzoku, now scoot."
"But-"
"MUSH!" Xelkitti yelled at him, quite keen to get the forgotten spells.
Saej started to argue with her, took one glance, and decided against it. He
left in a rush of cold air.
"Anyways," said Xelfan12, going on as if nothing unusual had happened (which
hadn't, in his point of view anyway). "I think we should get a move on the
plans, then?" Seeing no objections he continued. "Well, I was thinking we
should keep some of our old techniques, such as my quite useful Dark Mist
trick which I so kindly demonstrated on Verath a few chapters back. We just
need to alter some of them a bit, like our Barrage of 'Bits would need to be
changed to Blast Bombs instead of Flare and Ice Bits. Xelkitti, are you
writing this down?"
"Hai!" Xelkitti was busy scribbling the alterations over their old plans.
"Yes, I quite agree with that, and I have a good plan to use the Scircco
ball," Verath said, "Dynast already knows you two are fire elemental but he
doesn't know about the Scircco, you two could cast it and it would just seem
as if you were using fire. But of course, the damage dealt would be much
much more considerable, you might call it a surprise attack."
More scribbling.
"We have advantage in numbers too, don't forget to put that down," said Xelfan12.

"We all know chaos spells, or at least shamanism spells are the most effective," Verath said, "If the worst comes to the worst I can split and have us three use chaos spells while Saej and Gaaz combine black and white magic spells. And remember not to panic if one of us falls."

"Bu-" Xelkitti started.

"Xelkitti can use her illusion magic to confuse Dynast when we need time," Xelfan12 went on, much too enthusiastic to pay attention to her. "or just use it to confuse him all the time. It's much better to have him waste energy blasting away fake enemies while we prepare. Wearing him out would be good"

"Hey-" Xelkitti tried again.

"Yeah," agreed Verath, "Dynast's not good against fire spells either, strong enough ones that is. We'll have to use plenty of blast bombs. He doesn't know Dolphin's against him; he'll probably bring her along so she doesn't destroy his house. We can have her fight him too. I think I can manage to talk her into it. But I'll have to convince her not to use water magic, she'd just freeze herself."

"Ver-"

"I think a semi-defensive strategy would work best," Xelfan12 cut off Xelkitti again. "We'll try to inhibit Dynast's ability to fight as much as possible and attack when his defenses are down. Xelkitti could do most of the inhibiting, as I mentioned before, while the rest of us attack. What do you think?"

"I-"

"Wonderful!" Verath interrupted, "And I might add I think the scircco trick should be reserved for Xelkitti, in case Dynast figures out a way to become uninhibited. When that happens we might have to resort to using landscape for defense. I've discovered that using durable pieces of landscape can be quite useful for blocking attacks and momentary distractions when one needs to get away. Boulders are my favorite and Wolfpup has an abundance of those along the shores. But in case we can't get him here we can at least lure him into some type of quarry or something."

"Verath" Xelkitti started again, only to be cut off, AGAIN.

"Yeah, that would also help our offensive in a sense that-"

"WILL YOU BOTH JUST SHUT UP!" Xelkitti finally burst out.
