Mack the Mog Knight wasn't too sure about battling. After all, they were probably a bunch of elders escaped from the insane asylem. But if the bangaa was completely set on having an engagement, let it be that way then.

"Fine." A Judge appeared out of nowhere.Mack's side of the field gathered in two lines, four creatures in each line. There was a bit of dispute when Tommy decided that he was old enough to be in the front lines. One of the Gunners solved the problem with a well-aimed Silenshot.

Desmon stood in front of everyone else. Then, Layla and Starkin stood behind him in a triangular position, Bruno between the two, and everyone else not knowing where to go.

"Hey, where do we go?" Kayi asked.

Starkin, with a bit of tugging and pulling, arranged Layfette, Marie, and Lief into the formation. But there was a spot where someone was missing.

"Zhiraz," Layla sighed softly. "What ever happened to him anyways?"

Desmon turned around. "He's missing his arm. Now he's a schoolteacher in a rural area."

"Oh."

The Judge held up his hand and blew the whistle. Kayi dodged the spittle flying from the small metal object.

"Geez, kupo, that whistle's a weapon all by itself!" Carlos exclaimed softly to Kayi.

Layfette started running forward right away.

"Layfette, no! Even your father was not sso foolish!" Starkin yelled, pulling him away from the bullets that whizzed where his head had been before.

The Gadgeteer on Mack's side opened his Pandora's box. A Silver Disk swirled out, and the coin flipped. It slowed until you could see the markings on its side...

Mack's side of the battle.

"Oh, kupo, crap!" the Gadgeteer cried, running around blindly. "Kupopo- Ow..."

Marie twitched. "Starkin, can we charge now? You know, Momma always told me that Clan Crystal-"

"Yess, we ussed to charge. Assk Bruno."

"Well, Mack is immune to status conditions," Bruno said. "Hold on."

Mack the Mog Knight never felt anything. All he knew was one moment he was a Mog Knight, the next, he was a frog.

"Ribbit.." he croaked miserbly.

Dasmon suddenly lunged forward. Despite his old age, he slammed straight into Mack-frog, throwing him backwards.

"Okay. Let's not charge for obvious reasons," Layfette said, drawing a glare from Starkin.

The orb on the staff glowed. Kayi thought that, for the flicker of an instant, she saw a huge, keen spearhead. But as the glow receded, a whirlwind picked up, throwing the blind moogles everywhere.

"I believe that this battle is decided, kupo," Lief said happily, raising his gun.

A/N: Erp, sorry if that was a tad bit boring. I'm telling the battle from standard battle-story, not the FFTA battle system. If anyone wants the standard battle system of FFTA, please tell me. Don't worry, there won't be very many battles.
