Welcome to part A of chapter 9. This chapter will be split in 3 parts. In this first part, we will have the first part of the battle between Francis the Snivy and Kuja in Sylvain (A.L.O world). Here are the headlines for the 3 parts.
A. Part 1: Kuja cheats to attempt to kill Francis (Today)
As soon as Opal and the rest of team Star Shine leave, Kuja cheats in the first minutes by poisoning Francis, and sucking the life out of him. Francis will have to make a big run in order to comeback in this duel, and avoid certain death.
(Francis's POV)
B. Part II: A trap to kill Freya Cassandra and Sophie (Next Friday)
Before the battle against Francis, Kuja sets a trap that automatically kills Freya Cassandra, Francis the Snivy's human sister. Kuja also set another trap to kill Sophie, the teams Tales of Graces teammate. Meanwhile, in A.L.O, Kuja is attempting to injure Francis's legs to make sure that Francis can't come back, but….
(Freya, and Francis's POV)
C. Part III: Angelic Assist on time? (Friday, May 2nd)
Francis is down to his last breaths in this battle and his life. Kuja is about to try to do Luna's nightmare, kill Francis and get rid of his existence, but a certain angel comes to Francis's rescue, but is the angel too late?
(Francis's POV)
Here we go, I do not own anything
(Last time…)
This is not good. My log out button is missing. This could be the day that I die. I hope not and I will not die without a fight.
"Opal, I can't log…out" I said to her with a weakening voice
"Francis, be careful. Please win for you and us" Opal tells me as she hugs me
I know Kuja is cheating he just hides it. As soon as my teammates log out, its me VS him in a battle to my potential death….
"Finally I can kill you!" Kuja yelled at me
"KUJA! YOU CHEATER!" I yelled hoping to get a something out of him
"CHEA-TER!" The Sylph crowd chanted as they rallied behind me
Kuja is about to count down to the duel, and my potential death. No log-out, stay in A.L.O like in S.A.O…
Current Scene
Location: Downtown Sylvain (A.L.O)
Time: 10:30 PM (Tuesday)
Francis's status: Dueling against Kuja (potential death battle)
Luna's Status: Worried
Francis's HP: 90/250 (Status: Poisoned)
Kuja's HP: 340/340 (Status: Poisoned)
Francis the Snivy is now facing Kuja in a duel, but this duel is not a normal one as Kuja plans to use this duel to kill Francis. Kuja has already cheated by poisoning Francis, and sucking the life out of him.
(Francis's turn)
Kuja is cheater. He sucks the life out of me and poisons me on top of it. I am barley holding on and the duel countdown clock barley started. Even if Kuja is poisoned, he is not feeling the pain. I have a feeling he is trying the "Heathcliff Immortal Object" trick from the animie. With the Immortal Object status on, I can't hurt him, no matter what I do. All I need to do is survive. As I checked the items we have as a team, I found 4 potions, 3 life bottles, and 3 speed seeds. Good job team. Kuja is now grabbing my attention by yelling out those words I hate the most.
"YOUR HUMAN GIRL SHALL DIE! SHE SHALL DIE IN FLAMES!" Kuja yelled at me trying to force me to cry
"SHE NEVER DESERVED THIS!" I countered back
Luna never did anything to deserve to die. Sure she lied to me about picking the wrong number by 1 in a game, but she is very innocent. I will make sure I save Luna even if it means I will be killed. I will not let Kuja lay a hand on my human girlfriend.
"WATCH ME!" Kuja yelled as he took out that hated button
I ran as fast as I could to stop him from pressing that button. He was so fast that by the time I got there, a blue energy stream is being sucked out of me. I had to pop a potion to make sure I stay in this battle.
Francis's HP: 70/250 (Status: Poisoned)
Kuja's HP: Immortal Object On
While using the potion, I had a chance to touch him, but as I did, my worst fears are true. A purple square appeared on him and stated "Immortal Object", meaning that no attacks can work on him.
He has a chance to kill me just by poison alone, but I will not die without a fight.
"Duel mode engaged. Duel on" A machine said as me and Kuja got ready to battle
Popping another potion would be very nice, but if Kuja sees it, he will suck more life out of me, and I will be in trouble. All I can do now is hope for a break in his pattern. Kuja starts mocking me.
"Looks like the little snake will never be remembered" Kuja mocked
"Shut your mouth!" I yelled out
Normally,I would not say that, but with Kuja trying to kill me, this is the exemption to the rule. Kuja draws his sword ready to attack me. He ran toward me, but I moved in time to avoid a strike that could have gone to my arm. My leaf blades helped me push him back even though I could not damage him. He was ready to strike the back of my leg, but I jumped up and behind to deny the hit. The poison in my body took its tool for the first time in this duel.
Francis's HP: 50/250 (Poison effect)
I had no antidotes to use at this point. I had to survive until I get a break. As I continued to battle, I started hearing a voice in my head. The voice of someone I know maybe?
(Francis, in order to take out his immortal status, aim for his button and destroy it. Once it is destroyed, he can no longer suck the life out of you, poison you, and be an immortal object. The only draw back is that the power of the button will knock you unconscious afterward, but there is a a surprise waiting for him when he tries to kill you. He won't be able to)
The voice in my headed sounded like a girl I know. She said go for the button. I may faint but I will give it a shot. As I run toward my target, the poison hits me again, slowing me down, but I don't give in.
Francis's HP: 30/250 (Poison effect)
Kuja was ready to use his sword to try to end me, but I jumped high enough to see his button. My leaf blade extended to his back pocket, but as I grabbed it, Kuja jumps high to stab my right arm. Not wasting time, I popped a potion in the air, and gained enough health back to stay alive, but the pain is bad.
Francis's HP: 15/250 (Saved by a potion)
Potions remaining: 2
Speed Seeds: 3
Life Bottles: 3
The pain was horrible, but I needed to continue this battle to try to win. It is time to hope for a miracle to come back in this battle. Kuja is bout to make his move. He runs foreword to stab my legs but…..
[Closing song: "Overfly" from Sword Art Online by AmaLee (English)]
Hands up high Raise them high
And cast your worries to the sky
If you can't stand
Then take my hand
And I will rise to fight by your side
My beating heart is burning on
And as it races I realize
There's no doubt Not one doubt
As I make my wish and let it cry out
Next Friday: Before this battle started, Kuja set a trap to kill Freya Cassandra and Sophie. Both were killed in the worst way possible. Francis VS Kuja battle takes on a new meaning with two of Francis's friends gone….
