Stuck in Spira

Chapter 24: Crazy Rambo

A/N This chapter contains a boss that I'm going to have Adam do a speed run through. Unfortunately for him, it's gonna be stronger than in the real game this time through. Will his Rambo tactics work? Read on to find out!

---

The first thing we saw when we left the forest was Clasko with a Chocobo near the next inn. "Hi there. Would you look at this? They always leave me behind."

I'd wonder why, but since I was more caring about the next boss fight about to come up soon. Crawler may have been hard to beat in the game, but since I'm here, I could change it around and make him easy with some type of Rambo tactic. I began to space out, ignoring what Clasko was saying, making plans to beat Crawler as quickly as possible.

Clasko finished talking to Tidus and we eventually went to the inn, but I was still spaced out. "Hey, aren't you gonna go with your group?" Clasko asked me suddenly.

"Wha? Oh yeah, but I'm gonna stay out here for the moment. They'll be back ion a second." I said.

"So, what would you think? Should I be a Chocobo Breeder or Knight?" Clasko looked at me, waiting for my answer.

"I can't say. You look like you could do both, but then that would be a bit too much... What'd Tidus say?"

"He said Knight. I bet it's only because that was only when he'd have only seen me around the other Knights, so I fit in... I guess I'll decide on it later." And with that, Clasko left on the Chocobo.

Incidentally, Auron walked out of the inn at the same time. "Hey Adam, I don't think it's gonna work. I listened to your thoughts when you were thinking about Ramboing the Crawler, but I don't think that's the best option. Just a word though. If you do decide on that, then... tell us beforehand."

"Yeah, okay. Don't worry, I'll make it work!" I got out Buster Sword and changed it to a M249 SAW (UT2004 Military Weapons Pack mutator weapon).

"Uh, right... Let me say this another way. Don't try it." I changed the weapon back to normal. "Now, let's meet up with the group again and try this the normal way..."

"Fine, whatever you say. Don't come complaining to me if my way is better than yours..."

"I won't. But the same goes for you." Auron just simply turned around and walked back to the inn. I followed, and the rest of the group came out. Suddenly out of nowhere Tromell appeared over the next snow pile.

"Lady Yuna, we've been expecting you. We were surprised you decided to come so soon. Pleasantly surprised, of course. Lord Seymour sends his apologies for having left without notice," Tromell apologized for his master, and he did the Yevon bow thing. Yuna did the same back.

"It's quite alright. I have one question if I-" I drowned Yuna's voice out by spacing out again.

Before I knew it, I lost concentration and started spacing out. "Sorry." Auron said suddenly.

"Huh?" Both me and Tidus were confused. Tidus because he forgot a line, and me because I just had stopped spacing out, not knowing where we were in the script.

"That was your line Tidus. Ignore it Adam, not for you." Auron said simply, and I sighed. Tidus yelled to Yuna, and then a huge ear splitting whistle from him broke my concentration (again).

"Yessir!" Yuna yelled back, and then a huge noise was heard.

"Oh no!" "Al Bhed!" 2 voices yelled out, and some skibikes appeared over the ridge, followed by the Crawler.

"Stand back!" Auron yelled over the loud noise of the bikes, and Tromell nodded.

"Thank you." A near silent reply to Auron's order came from Tromell, until Yuna broke free of his grip and ran to our group. "Lady Yuna!"

"Let it be. I think we need all the help we can get." Auron said as he turned towards the bikes once again. I glared at the Crawler, quickly deciding on getting through this quickly. My sword quickly turned into the XM29, better known as the OICW program failure. Auron glanced and shook his head, sighing. Screw you old man! I'm gonna do things MY damn way!

The lead guy then tried to yell to Rikku. "Rikku! Tyh'd ehdanvana un oui kad dric? Oain bnaciuic magic and aeons yna caymat!

Rikku then cried out, "Oh no!"

"Translation?"

"He's gonna use an anti-magic field on us!"

"Ked dras!" The guy yelled to the machina, and it began to fire gatling gun rounds at us. We quickly scattered to dodge them, and I fired off 3 quick OICW grenades on the thing, but to no avail.

"What are you doing? That's machina Adam!" Wakka screamed his head off at me, still in hatred of weapons similar to the Al Bhed's arsenal.

"What works, works!" I said back as I loaded another clip of grenades to the launcher. I also fired a burst of 12 rounds into the Crawler's tough armoring, and still not hurting it. Tidus let off a quick sword strike, and still didn't hurt it either. Kimahri threw his spear into the machine, piercing it slightly, but it remained undamaged inside of it." Damn, this thing's worse than 10 Fat Boy Trigens!" I yelled as I shot another volley of 5 grenades into the thing, making references to Far Cry's rocket launcher toting Trigens.

"I told you it wouldn't work Adam!" Auron struck the robot, and only hurt it slightly, but only the armor.

"Bigger gun then!" The OICW changed to a Mk9 Lightning Gun (UT2004 Ballistic Weapons Bonus Weapons Pack 2 weapon), and I quickly pulled the trigger on the gun, and lightning projected all over the Crawler, covering it in high intensity electrical storms, causing it to start to overload, but not completely. The Lightning Gun suddenly stopped firing the storm, and I looked at the overheat dial maxing out. "S!"

Auron, being the huge weapons holder of the group, ran over to the Crawler and attacked it violently, causing it to tilt onto one side for a moment. At that moment, I saw a ton of wires under the thing and I tried to fire the gun again until it reoverheated. The lightning storm shot out from the gun for a quick second and quick suddenly, but it was enough to still hurt the Crawler pretty badly. "Lighting works, right Auron?" I said, beaming a bit.

"Maybe, but your weapons likes to overheat too. Don't plan on making it your primary weapon just too soon." Auron replied calmly. He already found my weapon's weakness, the overheat. I took some time thinking about the Ballistic Weapons Set I was borrowing weapons from. I knew I was really good at using the silenced RS8 10MM Pistol, the MRS138 Tactical Shotgun, anf the SRS900 Battle Rifle, but not much else. All the weapons had their weakness, like the pistol's was a small clip and slower shooting (but has excellent range somehow, better than most sniper rifles), and the Lightning Gun's overheating. These weapons were meant to have weaknesses so they'd not be all overpowered weapons of massive destruction, but rather, balanced weapons that would be fun to use in a game like UT2004, but there were never designed for a boss fight against something like the Crawler of FFX fame.

"Well, I'll admit that, but still, it's good for this fight, right?" I asked as Tidus ran up to the Crawler and just simple was shot a bunch but the gatling guns. "It helps if you don't run straight into its line of fire, ya know!"

"SHUT UP!" Tidus bellowed as he slashed the Crawler even more violently than Auron had done.

"You know, I fight MUCH better with swords, right?" Auron said randomly towards my direction. I instantly understood, and quickly tapped him, and changed him back to his normal form with his oversized sword and all. "Better..." And with that, Auron ran up to the Crawler and, with all his might, he lowered the blade onto the Crawler's gatling gun mecahincs, severely disrupting them and causing them to blow up after they fired again.

"Nice..." I complemented him. At this time, Wakka tossed his ball at the Crawler, and just bounced off. Steaming ,he caught the ball, leting Lulu have turn at using Thundara on the thing, making the Crawler shudder. Suddenly, a loud tick was hear from the Crawler. "!!! It's about to fire something! RUN FOR COVER!" After I said that, I just ran for a snow hill, and the entire group followed me, except for poor Tidus.

"Huh?" The Crawler suddenly fired a huge beam of energy that smashed into Tidus, sending him flying into the snow pile we all hid behind. He got up slowly, and said, "Ow..." and he fell over. Something snapped in me suddenly...

I ran from the snow pile, changing the Mk9 LG to a M75 TIC Railgun, and I waited, and waited...

A small beep sounded off, and I braced myself for the moment of firing...

A/N Yep, I've ended my new chapter with another cliffy! I suggest you read the last 2 paragraphs and 2 linegraphs (the small one line paragraphs) over closely... and you'll get a huge hint to the cliffy. Only one hint though!

Also, in soon to come chapters, I'm going to start dropping Sonic/Far Cry/whatever else references (minus UT2004), and throw out the previous ideas I had by simply doing some killing off. You'll see, it's pretty much going to be dull, but I feel the story deviated WAY too much from my original plotlines. I'm also gonna start using Adam to use my more current personality maybe, either that, or stay to my year old personality I was using this time. Also, Adam's gonna start only using swords and guns (mainly UT2004 Ballistic Weapons Set (by download only) guns).

Trivia: From after the word Trigen towards then end of the chapter, that is where I picked up from my months long gap of no writing, and you'll notice a huge writing style difference. At least, I hope it was huge. And by huge, I mean as for the better. I hope I can get my normal reviewers back...

Review the chapter please! I do accept anonymous reviews BTW!
