Chapter 8: Lack of a Chaotic Skill

Chaos: Why exactly do you have to put my match with Jade apart from the rest?
Pete: You. Apparently, you are quite the tough one, according to your sis, and we decided to try that. She was right, though.
Chaos: So, I'll fight next in the finals?
Pete: Kupo, no. After the next two matches are done, the winners will fight you in a three-way match.
Spike: WHAT?
Joe: For real?
Pete: Yep, kupo.

Match 5: Spike vs B-Man
Spike changed weapons to wield his Poison Axe. B-Man also changed weapons to wield the Hayate Bow.

Spike: Hayate Bow? Blue Mages don't wield bows.
B-Man: I feel the need for bows. Besides, just because I'm a Blue mage, doesn't mean my weapon choice is restricted to sabers.
Spike: It does! And since when did you get the rare Hayate Bow?
B-Man: Hand-me-down. My pop kicks unholy amounts of butt with it. That's pretty much the reason why I'm part-Ranger. My ENTIRE family is composed of Rangers.
Spike: Then why are you a Blue Mage?

B-Man makes this conversation as an idea to beat Spike. B-Man approaches Spike to continue the conversation.

B-Man: Well, here's the story of how I became a Blue Mage.

In the forest (Koringwood, actually), a hunt for the hide of Panthers began. Six red Panthers were on the run for something. That something is 16 Humes, all Hunters except for one child, who will soon to be B-Man. Strangely, the Panthers led most of the Hume to a trap and those were killed. Buster, an Archer with the Nail Bow, tried to hit the Panthers with his Iron Arrows, but couldn't aim right. Since he's on top of a tree, the Panthers can't climb. They did, however, broke the tree and Buster fell down. His dad, however, killed the Panther with super-precise aim from the Hayate Bow.

Buster: Dad, how is it that you can launch 4 arrows that fast with good accuracy?
Dad: It's the Hayate Bow. Its properties can help your aim and stimulates the hand to launch multiple arrows without missing. it has been dubbed "Rapid Fire".
Buster: Rapid Fire, huh?

Instantly after that, a Goblin hits Buster with his Goblin Punch. Buster fell and his dad killed that Goblin for that. 6 more showed up and restrained Dad. Buster got up and he remembered how the Goblin Punch went, so he beat the Goblins with Goblin Punches. Afraid, the Goblins ran away.

Dad: Was that a Goblin Punch?
Buster: I think so.
Dad: But...that makes you a Blue Mage!
Buster: Blue Mage? What's that?
Dad: Blue Mages are known for their powerful memory and learning skills. When a particular monster attack hits said Blue Mage, he or she will learn that move and can use that move at will.
Buster: Cool.
Dad: But you still need to be a Hunter, like the rest of us.
Buster: Why not have hunting skills AND Blue Magic?
Dad: Sure. You can do that. Then you'll be the first of our family to have a subjob.
Buster: Cooler.

Spike: Incredi...gets hit in the neck with Dark Arrows.
B-Man: Gotcha! beats Spike with his Manganese
Spike: How did you beat me with Manganese?
B-Man: I told the story so you can forget about me and concentrate about the visual produced by the awesomeness of the flashback. As I continued, I sneakily went behind you so I'll search your weak spot until the flashback is finished. When it's done, the Dark Arrow hit stuns you for a second, enough for me to get Manganese to finish you off.
Spike: Genius...
B-Man: Hehe, I know.
Joe: Spike is unable to battle. B-Man wins.

Match 6: Pete vs Joe.
Both combatants keep their selected weapons.

BANG! BANG! BANG! Pete starts shooting like crazy. Joe uses Ragnarok to block the gunshots. Then Joe uses Quake on Pete and he trips. Joe rushes to Pete. but Pete Stopshots Joe, rendering Joe useless. Then Pete readies Mog Rush and trips Joe. Joe got up (Conveniently, his Judge Armor prevents Status effects to go by more than 10 seconds.) and throws Ragnarok like a Ninja would and his Pete. Since The Quake Materia was in the sword, it hurts Pete even more with Earth-elemental damage. He gets Nagarok and finishes Pete with Cleansing Strike.

Magic: That wasss incredible, Joe.
Ed: Yeah.
Jade: By the way, what was that last move?
Chaos: Yeah. I haven't seen that before.
Joe: It's called "Special Training". By the way, I don't know myself how I got these abilities.
Pete (picking up the Ragnarok): Man, you beat me, kupo. Man, this sword is heavy.
B-Man: Let me try it. Pete gives the Ragnarok to B-Man Dude, it IS heavy!
Joe: I think it's the Materia.
Magic: I think it's because of lack of experience to use Ragnarok properly. picks up Ragnarok See, I can pick it up with ease.
Joe: Magic gives back Ragnarok Now that this match is over,...
Chaos: I can beat the tar out of B-Man and Joe!
B-Man: Yeah, right.

Match 7-Finals: Chaos vs B-Man vs Joe
B-Man changes weapons to wield the Shamshir. Joe and Chaos keep their starting weapons,

B-Man: NIGHT!!

Darkness fills the arena. Joe ends up asleep (for a short time) and Chaos is immune to Night. Chaos uses his scythe to use one of his Chaotic Skills.

Chaos: Chaotic Skill: Darkness Sou...

Something stopped him from activiting Chaotic Skill: Darkness Soul, which uses Chaos' scythe to cut darkness open (he can do that) and sends demons to attack the enemy(ies). The demons disappear back to the darkness later.

It was B-Man. Chaos can tell because it was a saber slash, not a nightsword slash. Chaos slashed B-Man with his scythe and B-Man got away. The darkness was gone and Joe seemingly came out of nowhere to attack Chaos, but Chaos dodged. It seems that both Joe and B-Man are after Chaos.

Chaos: Suiton! Geyser of Death Jutsu!

Chaos releases water geyser-style in 6 different locations: One under B-Man, one under Joe, and four protecting Chaos. The two were launched into the air and Chaos throws 8 shuriken He's a Ninja, you know. at them. The set aiming for B-Man hits and was defeated. The set aiming for Joe were deflected by his armor.

Chaos: One down!
Joe: Guess it's just you and me now.
Chaos: Yeah...
Joe: Here I go! Quake!

Joe activates Quake on Chaos, but Chaos uses the ground-shaking oportunity to...

Chaos: Doton! Arm of Earth Jutsu!

If you play Final Fantasy IX and witness Eiko's first Fenrir summon, that's pretty much what happened.If you don't, basically a giant arm and fist comes out of the ground. The arm lifted Chaos to the air and another arm smacked Joe to the air. Then, Chaos fired a kunai (ninja knife) aiming for Joe's left leg. Somehow, Joe air-summersaults backwards to dodge. Gravity did its thing and pulled Joe down to the ground. Joe however, pushed his sword downward Link-style and casts Quake. There, two, no, three, things happened. One, the materia in Ragnarok grew a bit. Two, the Quake became Quakera (Quake 2 or Quake II for you old-style spell namers), making the spell, thus the quake, more powerful. Three, Chaos tripped off the earth arm. During the 3 or so seconds when Chaos fell, Joe threw the Nagarok at him. Chos saw that and threw one of his Kikuichimonjis at Nagarok. When they collided, Joe grabbed both weapons and starts "Tri-wielding" the weapons.

Pete: What the heck? Did Joe just put a sword on his mouth?
B-Man: Reminds me of that samurai pirate guy on TV. What was his name?
Ed: That guy's an anime character, this is real.
Jade: Are you sure? I don't think so.
Magic: Whatever. This is getting interesting.

SLASH! SLASH AGAIN! SLASH A THIRD TIME! SPIN ATTACK! ETC.!

Down goes the final boss of FF1! No wait, that's just a Viera. Never mind.

Pete: Kupo! Joe wins and is now our best member!
Joe: Any rewards of some sort?
Pete: Just this. Look around you. What do you see?
Joe: Hmm...looks around and sees black spots Those black spots there?
Pete: Yep. Those are videocamaras.
Chaos: YOU #&ING TAPED US?! Jesus sighs
Pete: Yep, kupo! Now wait a few minutes.

Later...a bunch of gil showed up by the entrance of Woopz base. Pete picked them up and distributes the gil to the team. Then, a letter explaing a mission shows up.
