Chapter 5: A New Foe
Reviews:
Sephirothxx: Thanks for the feed back on the fight scenes, I was worried that I had messed it up, ive never really written a proper fight scene before, so, thanks, I have read most of 'The Shattered Calm' and some of 'Ripped And Torn' so I shall review them soon :D
A/N: I'm kind of low on inspiration at the moment, so I don't think this will be a very long chapter…. Sorry!
Chapter 5: A New Foe, BEGIN!
…………………………………………………………………………………………
The Macalent screamed as the incredible energy that was Bahamut's overdrive washed over it and exploded into pyreflies.
Jecht looked on in awe, "okay, now I understand why this pilgrimage is worth it" he turned to Braska, "and this is only part of the power of the Final Aeon?"
Auron smirked in the background.
Braska too, chuckled "well… it depends…"
"On what?" asked Jecht
"On the Fayth" said a new voice.
A figure dropped down from the tree above them.
"Nobumenu" said Braska in recognition.
"Braska," Nobumenu nodded.
"What brings you here?"
"Business of the maester"
"Then why stop for a chat?"
"The business is you."
"What?"
In the background, Auron drew his blade,
"If you mean to fight us, get it over with," he said coldly.
Braska laughed, but was cut short when Nobumenu drew his halberd.
"Very well"
Braska looked serious and worried,
"You seriously mean to fight us? Then very well, we accept"
"Scan"
/Nobumenu/
Hp: 17000
Mp: 9999
A legendary warrior of bevelle, wields
Incredible strength and magic powers,
Including level 4 magic and the legendary
Spell, Ultimaja as his overdrive
If confronted by him, avoid battle at all
Costs, no elemental weaknesses and
Incredible close range capabilities,
A truly deadly human foe.
Jecht whistled,
"Ah, err Braska, Auron, do you really think this wise?"
Nobumenu looked at Jecht,
"I would have attacked weather you accepted my challenge or not, it is more honourable this way"
And with that Nobumenu leapt at the party with supernatural speed.
The battle was on.
Braska leapt back to avoid a crushing blow from the Bevelle legend's halberd whilst casting low-level thunder magic at him. Nobumenu leapt back and the thunder magic harmlessly drained into the ground, but he had little time to recover as Auron rushed him and swung his own giant sword at him whilst Jecht simultaneously leapt through the air and span into a roundhouse kick. Which failed spectacularly as Nobumenu lifted his arm and caught Jecht's foot, with a flick of his wrist, he sent Jecht spinning to the ground just as Auron's blade came within proximity of him, Nobumenu swiftly ducked the blow and slammed his elbow into Auron with stunning force.
Auron reeled backwards in pain and stumbled, Nobumenu took his chance and leapt forward slicing his halberd through the air with lightening speed.
"BLIZZARA!"
Nobumenu turned to see a pillar of ice tearing its way towards him. This gave Auron his chance; he turned onto his stomach and pushed with his hands flipping himself over whilst simultaneously kicking Nobumenu in the kidneys, sending him flying into the blizzara's path. Auron landed on his feet and turned. His eyes widened in shock as he saw the ice pillar flying towards him, Nobumenu had dodged the block and for the second time Auron was sent spinning to the ground.
Nobumenu smirked in mid air but it soon changed to shock as he felt the coldness of Jecht's blade slice his back, his armour saved him but the force of the blow sent him flying forward, directly into another thunder that Braska had prepared for him.
Meanwhile Auron was back on his feet, and angry, he rushed forward to join his comrades when he saw Braska get hit with a crushing column of waterja. That was the final straw.
/Auron Overdrive: Dragon Fang/
Auron leapt into the air.
"Dodge this!" he yelled.
He slammed into the ground and sent a beam of orange light up to meat the already shocked Nobumenu. It collided with him at full force and sent him tumbling to the ground in considerable pain, but that was it for Auron, he could do no more, he fell to the ground, unconscious.
Silence followed Auron's desperate attack.
"AURON!" shouted Jecht, rushing forward. As he passed the fallen Nobumenu a hand came up around his ankle, Jecht stumbled and fell.
Braska cast a second scan,
/Nobumenu/Hp:7550
Mp:9955
A legendary warrior of bevelle, wields
Incredible strength and magic powers,
Including level 4 magic and the legendary
Spell, Ultimaja as his overdrive
If confronted by him, avoid battle at all
Costs, no elemental weaknesses and
Incredible close range capabilities,
A truly deadly human foe.
WARNING: OVERDRIVE CHARGED, RETREAT IS RECCOMNENDED
"Damn" Braska whispered to himself, he would have to make a desperate move, he made his choice.
"Now I have you!" shouted Nobumenu.
/Nobumenu Overdrive: Ultimaja/
Braska ran forward
The sky darkened.
Braska Blue magic: Mighty guard/Tendrils of power surrounded the battlefield.
Braska crossed his arms across himself, knowing there was little chance he would survive.
A series of huge explosions rocked the battlefield as dark spikes of energy shot down from the sky and up through the floor.
A piercing white light, a gigantic BANG! Then silence.
…………………………………………………………………………………………
Next chapter… nah, I'm joking with ya! I'm not THAT cruel!
………………………………………………………………………………………….
The smoke cleared to a scene of destruction.
All that was left standing was Nobumenu…
And Jecht.
And Jecht was angry, very angry.
That last minuet mighty guard saved him, but he was still in considerable pain, but he didn't care, all he knew was a fierce hate for the person who could very well have killed his friends.
His sword blazed in his hand, fire twisted around the jet black metal of his soul-sword Jecht tensed, and,
/Jecht Overdrive: Abes Seal/
Jecht ran with unfathomable speed towards Nobumenu, who was caught off guard and had no time to dodge, and smashed him with blistering force into the air. Jecht leapt up after him and drew back his sword, Jecht began to rotate, faster, faster he stuck out his sword arm and caught up to Nobumenu mid-air, the sword slashed Nobumenu over and over like a high-powered machinegun, using the momentum of his furious spinning, he smashed Nobumenu down with more force than thought possible, Nobumenu hit the floor so hard that he made a sizeable crater around him, Jecht stopped spinning and, still in mid-air and shot the spiral of fire down towards Nobumenu, it connected with him and exploded, leaving the crater full, like a bowl of fire, the fire gave off one last burst of light then solidified into rock, with the Abes Seal imprinted in black on the rock surface, Nobumenu was sealed, it was over.
Jecht lifted Auron and Braska and limped away.
Once he had left, a hand shot out of the rock where Nobumenu was buried, he was hurt, but not beaten. Nobumenu climbed out and headed off towards bevelle.

Ch5: endA/N: I forgot to mention this last chapter, but I think, Nobumenu is literally translated to saviour in Japanese, as in bevelles 'saviour' ne way bye!
