Chapter 5 A Little Action
A day later, in our search for the so-called supreme evil, we (Sabin, Edgar, and Setzer) had to stop for some 'supplies'. In the end, Sabin, Edgar and Setzer went to the cafe, looking for high quality whiskey, and everyone else went browsing. Celes and I decided to take this wonderful opportunity to talk to each other and sort out feelings and such. The only problem: Cyan. "Dost thee wish to go to the weapon shoppe over yonder?" he asked me, anxiously. I didn't really want to offend him, but hey, what are ya going to do? "No, I'd rather stick my head in a pile of cat crap right now," I started, "but maybe, after like 30 minutes, we can talk?" Cyan walked away looking rather unhappy, and I turned back to Celes. As I was about to talk to her, a giant rumble came, shaking the town. "Sabin is at it again," Celes said lazily. " Still though, that might be a little bit big, even for Sabin... AHHHH!" Just then, a giant eyeball with wings came flying towards us. "'Tis a doom gaze!" shouted Cyan, and Sabin dropped his bottles of booze and ran towards Celes, Cyan, and me. "Go back to the Hell from whence you came, foul beast!" leered Cyan again. Sabin used a great bit of X-magic, the Ultima-Merton combo. That was ineffective, so Celes used the X-fight command. Now, normally, this attack coupled with the atma weapon and the illumina would've done somewhere around... 72,000 damage. Against this enemy, eight hits caused 19 damage. "What's up with this thing!" said Sabin. Just then Cyan called upon Raiden. We all knew that summoning an esper was a bad thing because their will was bent, and instead of going towards doom gaze, it came right back and cut all of our life forces, bringing us all down to one hit point. This time, it was the doom gaze's turn. Doom gaze used x-magic: only with his evil powers, it happened eight times. In order, the doom gaze used Ultima, Ultima, Ultima, Ultima, Merton, W-Wind, Quake, and another Ultima. It did somewhere in the 200,000 range. We passed out, and doom gaze proceeded to destroy the town we were in. When we all woke up, the town was a smoldering ruin.
