DMC3 Hard Mode: Why does all my skills in a DMC game suddenly DIE whenever I face an Ice Aligned Boss, at least in Hard modes? Bael/Dagon gave me more trouble than they oughta have in DMC4, and now Cerberus did in DMC3! Gigapede was sucky beyond me fucking up at one point taking more damage than I should have, but still beat him in one go. Also, I am reminded at how the Hell Vanguard you fight in Mission 2 is possibly harder than 90% of DMC2 Bosses -_-
And now, I present to you...Another Series By Meeple...unless popular demand states I shouldn't...
TALES OF POKEMON!!aka Tales of Symphonia 2: Dawn of the New World!
Episode 1: This Is Still a Better Idea Than Final Fantasy 4: The After Years.
Narrator who sounds exactly like Kratos: 1000 years ago, Martel caused the Tree of Kharlan to explode! This caused Sylvarant and Tethe'ala to split. This resulted in...well, that's really all that happened. But eventually, the Chosen of Regeneration came, and fused the world's together again! But those of Tethe'ala looked down on Sylvarant cause of lesser technology, and started oppressing them. This caused natural disasters around the world for some unknown reasons. The Sylvarant people decided to stand up and created...THE VANGUARD! And so begins our story...
*Palmacosta, its on fire, image of Lloyd is seen as he jumps into the flames*
Mystery Girl: Oh no! I have to hide from the attackers!
*scene shift*
Random Man: No! Lloyd's attacking!
Random Woman: Emil! Where are you? Lloyd's about...
Lloyd: Lloyd's about to what?
Random Man: Oh shit...
Lloyd: Traitorous scum, DIE IN THE NAME OF THE CHURCH OF MARTEL! *kills the two people*
Random Woman: EMIL!!!!
Random Boy's Voice: MOM!!!!!!
*scene shift*
Mystery Girl: Must...get...away...
Soldiers: WE FOUND HER!
Mystery Girl: Oh no! Ratatosk! Please, help me!
Soldiers: Oh god no!

Mystery Girl: Did you...save me?
Blonde Haired Boy: ... *he leaves*
Mystery Girl: Wait! What's your name!? I FEEL ODDLY ATTRACTED TO YOU! *red symbol flashes on her face*
*scene shift, Blonde Haired Boy is with those earlier random people*
Random Woman: Emil...I can't see your face! Run! Quickly! GO to Luin and catch up with your aunt Flora!
Emil: No. MOM!!!!!!!!!!!
*scene shift, its in a house, Emil wakes up, with FAR MORE GENERIC CLOTHING THAN WHAT HE WAS WEARING BEFORE*
ARROOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Emil: Huh? What was that? Is that a monster? Why have I been hearing these things? Oh, Aunt Flora, what's going on?
Flora: Monsters are in the lake.
Emil: I'm sorry...
Flora: Why are you apologizing? NOW SHUT UP AND STAY IN YOUR ROOM!
Emil: I'm gonna take that as a sign to walk around town like any one would, so bye!
*in town in front of a Lloyd statue*
Emil: Stupid Lloyd, you burned my home town!
Bully #1: BOW TO LLOYD THE GREAT!
Bully #2: Hey! HE DIDN'T BOW!
Emil: Huh? uh, yes, I did...
Bully #1: Nu-huh! We saw you! YOU DIDN'T!
Bully #2: Uh, yeah, what he said!
Emil: But...
Bully #1: You're also the cause of all the monsters in this town! ITS YOUR FAULT!
Bully #2: Yeah! NOW SWEAR ALLEGIANCE TO HIM AND WE'LL FORGIVE YOU!
Emil: I...uhh....
Bully #1: I CAN'T HEAR YOU!
Bully #2: Oh to hell with it, lets kick his ass anyway!
Emil: No! Lloyd destroyed my town! HE'S A MURDERER!
Bully #1: SHUT UP! EAT KNUCKLE SANDWICH!
Bully #2: Uh, yeah, what he said!
*Emil bumps into a random guy*
Red Haired Man: What's going on here? You two, what has this kid done.
Bully #1: Oh shit! This guy looks like he has plot relevance!
Bully #2: You're right! LETS GET OUT OF HERE!
*They run*
Emil: Uhhh...
Red Haired Man: You know, you should stand up for yourself. Anyway, later.
Emil: That guy he's so...strong...I should thank him! Yeah, that's what I'll do...I think...
*Emil catches up with him*
Emil: Uhh....
Red Haired Man: Oh, you again. If you don't have anything to say, I'm going to ask you something.
Emil: O...k....
Red Haired Man: You're Emil, right? Have you seen a girl with a red symbol on her forehead?
Emil: No...I uh...haven't...I'm sorry...
Red Haired Man: Why are you apologizing? Whatever.
COURAGE IS THE MAGIC THAT TURNS DREAMS INTO REALITY!Emil: Why did you say that...and why is it bolded?
Red Haired Man: Cause its the theme of the game, of course...despite being said by some crazy guy. Also, its a hint that you have, you know, get a god damn spine. I mean seriously kid, what are you? A MAN OR A DOG? Will you stand on your own two feet or get kicked around?
Emil: Huh?
Red Haired Man: This conversation bores me, good bye!
Emil: I...uh...ok...maybe I should go to the lake and check up on the monsters? Uh, yeah, that's what I'll do! Why? I don't know, but I feel its my fault cause I keep hearing...
AROOOOOOO!!!!!
Emil: Yeah, that!
*at the edge of town*
Emil: Oh, hi Uncle Aldo...
Aldo: SHUT UP KID! Just looking at you makes me vomit, damned monster kid.
Emil BUt...
Aldo: Get back home! I'm gonna give you a big belt beating when I'm done with those damn monsters which I came back here for support!
Emil: ...oh no, I'm gonna get beaten again...
Aldo: anyway, time to look for help...and I hate you...
Emil: ...yeah, I think...I'll go look for that monster...at the Lake
*at the Lake*
Emil: Well, there's nothing here. I guess they dealt with it all...
*Emil bumps into a large bear*
Emil: AAAH! MONSTER!!!!
Bear: GROOOOAR!
Emil: Oh god, what can I-...
*Cue battle scene*
Emil: WHAT!? A BATTLE!? And I'm conviently armed with a sword despite never having fought a thing in my life? What does this mean?
Emil's Brain: It means you are basically going to be the most pathetic Tales character of all time in this fight and this is a total plot fight.
Emil: Oh boy...
*Fight ends prematurely*
Emil: Oh no, what can I do.
Mystery Girl: SUPER AWESOME NINJA STYLE ATTACK!!!!
Bear: BLARGH! *gets knocked down*
Mystery Girl: Boy, can you fight!?
Emil: Uh, yeah, if by fight, you mean flail a sword around like a moron while I cower in fear...
Mystery Girl: ...close enough. You take the front lines! WE'LL ATTACK HIM TOGETHER!
*they defeat the monster*
Emil: I...won? But not without your help, so uh...
Mystery Girl: OMG! ITS YOU! I FINALLY FOUND YOU AGAIN!
Emil: What? Have we met?
Mystery Girl: You don't remember? Awww ;_;
Emil: I...what?
Mystery Girl: THanks for saving me! Maybe you can save me again in the future ^_^. Anyway, later
Emil: Save...again?
*Flashback*
Red Haired Man:
COURAGE IS THE MAGIC THAT TURNS DREAMS INTO REALITY!*end flashback*
Emil: ...why did I think of that?
Aldo: EMIL! WHAT DID YOU DO!?
Emil: I killed a monster...I think...
Aldo: SHUT UP DEMON BOY! GO BACK HOME AND WAIT IN YOUR ROOM FOR A SPANKING!
Emil: ...ok...
*back at Luin*
Emil: Wait...that girl...she had a red symbol on her forehead! I better go find that guy!
*at the Mayor's house*
Emil: You! I...uh...
Mayor: Oh, you know Richter?
Richter: Yes, we met briefly. Anyway, speak up boy!
Emil: I saw the girl!
Richter: WHAT!? YOU SAW MARTA!? WHERE! TELL ME!? *shakes Emil like he's a doll*
Emil: Ow! You gotta let go of me!
Richter: Oh, right. Anyway, where is she?
Emil: She's...at the lake...
Richter: I see...well, come with me then!
Emil: What?
Richter: You can help guide me there! If only you had told me sooner...
Emil: Oh, I'm sorry...
Richter: Stop apologizing!
Emil: I'm sorry!
Richter: ...let's just go...
*at the Lake*
Aldo: Damn it Demon Boy! WHat did I tell you? GO HOME AND WAIT FOR YOUR SPANKING!
Richter: He has been given permission by the Mayor to enter this cave with me!
Aldo: And why should I listen to you?
Richter: Cause I can kick your ass.
Aldo: ...damn, but what about him? He's just a boy!
Richter: You just called him a DEMON Boy, didn't you?
Aldo: I...uhh...
Richter: You backed yourself in a corner. You are a worthless NPC. GET OUT OF MY SIGHT!
Emil: ...Richter's pretty harsh...
Richter: Anyway, you're going to have to fight...you have fought before, RIGHT!?
Emil: Uh, sort of...kind of...maybe...
Richter: ...I'll take that as a yes...anyway, I expect you to not get in the way, but if things get too hard, I'll bail you out.
Emil: Thank you.
Richter: That's not something to thank me for...
Emil: Oh...sorry...
Richter: STOP APOLOGIZING!
Emil: SORRY!
Richter: *Sigh* what have I gotten myself into? Oh yeah, and just so we're clear, I do not despise you.
Emil: O...k...
*in the cave, the two come to a door*
Richter: Ok, there's a strong monster behind here. You just wait here like a good boy and let me dispatch it. You'll just get in my way.
Emil: Alright...
Marta: AAAAAAAH!
Emil: That must be her! She sounds like she's in trouble! I...have to help her!
*Emil rushes in, Richter has Marta at sword point*
Emil: So that's why you were looking for her? You were trying to kill her?
RIchter: Yes, yes I was!
Marta: Please, help me!
Emil: I...I can't beat Richter...
Richter: Shut up! Give me Ratatosk, the Demon Lord!
Marta: He's not a demon lord! He's the lord of all monsters! He's a good guy!
Emil: Rat-....what? You've lost me!
Richter: Stay out of my way!
Emil: NO! I CAN'T! *pushes Richter out of the way*
RIchter: I don't have time for this...Aqua, just kick his ass.
*Aqua appears*
Aqua: Yes sir Richter Lord Sir Master Cuteness!
Emil: A talking monster?
Aqua: THAT'S CENTURION!
Emil: What?
Aqua: *Sigh* Just shut up and leave! *she blasts him away*
Emil: What he heck happened...
Voice: MAKE A PACT!
Emil: What?
Voice: Damn it, just make a pact! If you want to fight, make a pact with Ratatosk!
Emil: ...what?
Voice: ...maybe I should appear first...*a large black dog appears*
Emil: ...are you a...monster?
Dog: No, I'm a Centurion!
Emil: ANother one of those, what?
Dog: ...look, my name is Tenebrae, and if you make a pact with me, things will be a lot easier.
Emil: Oh...ok...
Tenebrae: Good! Its settled!
*Emil gets ABSORBED BY DARKNESS, his clothes change to something far less generic*
Tenebrae: Good...NOW GO SAVE MARTA WITH YOUR NEW POWERS!
Emil: But the room is locked up...
Tenebrae: ...ok, then use this path I can conveniently feel over there.
Emil: Ok...by the way, why have my clothes changed?
Tenebrae: Because you are now a Knight of Ratatosk! You need to ahve a certain amount of class! Those other clothes are pitiful! These ones are magical! They won't stain, get dirty, are water proof, never wrinkle, and have other such features that conveniently mean you'll never have to change your clothes ever again!
Emil: So...what happened to my old clothes?
Tenebrae: Oh, the DARKNESS!!! took them.
Emil:...what?
Tenebrae: ...nevermind, lets just get going.
Emil: Oh, so you're going to help me fight?
Tenebrae: Of course not! We Centurion don't fight! What you need to do is go fight a monster, capture it, and make a pact with it and it'll assist you!
Emil: So I get a monster, and make it your unwilling slave to aid me?
Tenebrae: ...yes, that is one way to put it.
Emil: Ok...
*Emil gets control of a Wolf and an Imp along the way, eventually meets up with Aqua*
Aqua: Oh, you're back! And you have...made a pact? Damn it Tenebrae! Stay out of this!
Tenebrae: Go, show her what you're made of Emil!
Emil: Uh...ok...
*Battle starts*
Emil: I feel...like I have confidence...and a deeper voice...like Johnny Yong Bosch now VAs me. I CAN FIGHT!!!!
*Emil kicks Aqua's ass*
Emil: What just happened? I felt like a different person there!
Tenebrae: That's Ratatosk's power! Anyway, there's Richter injured, we should leave.
Emil: But I have to help him! He helped me!
Tenebrae: He almost tried to kill you too...
Emil: But I can't just sit here!
Tenebrae: Well, this decision is going to be something you regret, but if you insist...
Richter: Damn! I was attacked by Lloyd! He kicked my ass...badly...
Emil: The Main Character of the previous game who is mysteriously evil kicked the crap out of a bad ass like you? So you mean this game isn't randomly making the previous characters weaker for no god damn reason?
Richter: Yes, I expected him to be hit by that, but alas, that wasn't the case! He seems to still have his awesome plot power from the previous game...and he stabbed me in the back...by which I mean literally...
Emil: Um, ok...wait here, I'll get Aqua!
*Emil gets Aqua and brings her to Richter*
Aqua: Oh, he'll be fine! The wound isn't fatal! NOW LEAVE! I DON'T LIKE YOU!
Emil: O...k...
Tenebrae: We must hurry and find Marta before Lloyd does!
Emil: Lloyd's here? I...must make him pay for Palmacosta!
*Emil catches up with Lloyd and Marta*
Marta: Damn it, I won't let you get away with this!
Lloyd: Just stand down already, you know you can't win.
Emil: YOU! I'll make you pay for what you did at Palmacosta!
Marta: Emil! You've come to save me again! Yay ^_^!!!
Lloyd: Not Palmacosta again...
Emil: Don't act like you don't know what's going on! You'll pay for killing my parents!
*they fight Lloyd*
Emil: Take this-*gets OHKOed by Sonic thrust*
Marta: NO! Emil! I'll cast Fir-*Lloyd Tiger Bades her, she dies*
Lloyd: *Sigh* Early game level PCs are just too easy...
*after fight*
Lloyd: I'm taking this crystal, yoink!
Marta: No! He stole the Centurion Core!
Emil: The who of what now?
Tenebrae: Simply put, its an egg of a Centurion, they go there when they're sleeping. And Marta has one fused to her forehead now.
Marta: Yeah, but thanks for saving me again <3
Emil: but I did-...oh, lets just head back to Luin. But can I ask why there are problems with the world?
Tenebrae: That's cause of the Centurion. You see, cause Ratatosk is asleep, and the world's are remerged, there's an inbalance. Normally, Ratatosk helps keep the balance; when the world's were split, he slept, and things were fine, but now he's needed. Unfortunately, for him to awaken, all the Centurion need awakening too! Aqua split her ties with Ratatosk, so that's why all these water related disasters have been occurring since the Regeneration.
Emil: ...what?
Tenebrae: In terms players will understand, beating up Mithos in the first game caused other problems indirectly to occur, and this game is going to be about dealing with those!
Emil: Oh...ok...
*at Luin*
Marta: Hey Emil, lets go to your home first! (Yes! I can introduce myself to his parents and show them what kind of couple we are!)
Tenebrae: Marta, you seem infatuated by him already...
Marta: Of course! He's just so cute and brave and he's like my prince! Right Emil?
Emil: I...what? Anyway, I think we should head to the Mayor's first and tell him what happened (I don't want Marta to see my uncle beating on me either...)
Marta: Oh...I guess you're right (DAMN IT! I was THIS CLOSE!)
New Guy: HOLD IT MARTA! Give us Ratatosk now!
Marta: Oh...hi...Hawk...
Emil: Friend of yours?
Marta: Not really; we were just in the Vanguard together, then I left...
Hawk: Look, if you co-operate, we'll let you back in and all will be forgotten.
Marta: NEVER! Emil, LETS RUN!
Emil: Huh, what?
Tenebrae: Just listen to the woman! (its not like you can win arguments with them anyway...)
Hawk: After the-...blargh my spleen!
Big Gold Armored Guy: Aha! Take that Vanguard scum, IN THE NAME OF THE CHURCH OF MARTEL, I, MAGNAN SHALL PUNISH YOU...FOR LLOYD THE GREAT!
Emil: Uh...thanks?
Magnan: Yes...NOW GIVE ME RATATOSK, THE CORE, AND YOUR FREE WILL!
Marta: Damn it, you guys are all the same! Lets just get the hell out of here! *the trio runs*
Magnan: That's it...people of Luin! YOu are heretics cause you had a traitor here! For this reason, we shall...BURN THE TOWN! Unless of course you find her, then we
Might forgive you.
*outside of town*
Marta: I can't give them Ratatosk, I can't!
Emil: BUt...my town...they'll burn it, like Palmacosta! Please, Marta, YOU HAVE TO!
Marta: Ok, if its for you, Emil, I will
Tenebrae: you do realize you just sent Marta to her death, right?
Emil: How so?
Tenebrae: Cause Ratatosk is fused with her and to unfuse her, she needs to give up her life force. This is all cause of your own selfish reasons./
Emil: ...really? Um...shit, what should I do?
*Flash back*
Richter:
COURAGE IS THE MAGIC THAT TURNS DREAMS INTO REALITY!*End flashback*
Emil: ...I have to save her! Lets go Tenebrae!
Tenebrae: Well, nothing wrong can come of this. </sarcasm>
*in town*
Marta: Ok, you can have Ratatosk, ubt you'll have to take my head for it!
Magnan: Hey, I like the sound of that! You over there! Kill her, but do it VERY SLOWLY for exposition!
*Marta bends her head ready to get killed*
Magnan: Anyway, BURN THE TOWN! PILLAGE! KILL! RAPE! ...wait, all the women here are ugly...forget the rape part, just kill them all!
Marta: YOU BAStARD!
Magnan: Yep!
Emil: No! Stop! Please!
Magnan: Shut up boy! *punches Emil away*
Emil: I...I have to do something!
*Emil goes all crazy, Dark, and such. His eyes turn red, voice is back to Johnny Yong Bosch. From this point on, anytime Emil goes into this mode, we'll just call it Dark Emil*
Dark Emil: I said STOP DAMN IT!
*Emil kicks the crap out of a bunch of guards, looking damn bad ass*
Magnan: What the hell?
Dark Emil: Shut up! Now let her go! Or do you value your life?
Magnan: HA! A mere boy can't beat-...
*Boss fight occurs and he loses badly*
Dark Emil: Eheheheheh. What's that? WHOSE GOT THE POWER NOW!?
*he starts beating the shit out of Magnan*
Marta: No, Emil, stop!
Emil: Huh? What have I done!?
Magnan: RETREAT!!!!
Emil: I...uhh...
Marta: You saved me! You're my prince in shining armor! <3
Emil: ...lets just talk to the Mayor...
*at the Mayors*
Mayor: Emil, please go look into this mess regarding Lloyd. I can't believe Lloyd would do that to Palmacosta...but now I don't know what to believe, having seen the Church of Martel try the very same thing here. This is for your own good, cause I know the village hates you.
Emil: This isn't just a convenient excuse to get rid of me, is it?
Mayor: NO! ITS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD! ...oh yeah, and thank you for saving the town.
Marta: Ok, and I'm going with you! Our enemy is both Lloyd, so uh...yeah, that's it! (Also, you're so freaking sexy!)
Emil: So...where to next?
Marta: Asgard of course!
*At Asgard*
Emil: There's a lot of wind here...
Marta: Yeah...hey, lets go speak to the Mayor! He'll know about Lloyd!
Emil: Oh...ok...
: I'm sorry, but that's a strange looking dog you have there.
Emil: Yeah we-...wait, you can see Tenebrae?
: I haven't been here in a while! This is my home town! It wasn't called Asgard when I was here though!
Marta: Uh, ok...
: Anyway, good day!
Marta: ...who was he?
Emil: Beats me, but he could see Tenebrae despite his invisible state...
Tenebrae: How very curious...
*at the Mayors*
Emil: Well, no one's home, lets leave...
Marta: ...
Emil: What? Did I say something?
Tenebrae: No, Marta's just actually thinking about something besides you for once...
Emil: Oh, OK-...wait, what's that suppose to mean?
Tenebrae: You really are clueless aren't you?
Marta: The wind...wind this weakshouldn't do damage to buildings.
*A huge gust appears*
Marta: Oh the Irony! And...wait, oh crap! I'm on a big diet right now! AAAAH!
*Marta gets swept away by the wind*
Emil: MARTA!!! *he grabs her hand and saves her*
Marta: Thank you Emil! And...this is so romantic, holding hands like this!
Emil; Huh? *Notices how they're holding hands, tosses her off* I...uh...I'm sorry! I was just trying to save you.
Marta: Don't apologize, I enjoyed it ^_^
Tenebrae: On a more serious note, we should probably find shelter. There's a cave nearbye, lets go there!
Marta: *Grabs Emil's hand* Yeah, and its safer if we go like this!
Emil: I...uh...ok, I guess...
Marta; Yay ^_^!
*in the cave*
Emil: So, now that we're here, you think...we can stop...holding...hands?
Marta: Awww, you don't have to if you don't want to? *looks at Emil* ...I mean, just kidding ^^;
Emil: ...what's with her?
Tenebrae: Aha! The wind conveniently died down! Lets go outside and look around!
*outside*
Marta: Oh no, its Alice! A high ranking officer of the Vanguard!
Alice: Hawkie! Why haven't you found the Chosen of Regeneration yet!
Hawk: I'm sorry, but Colette is nowhere in sight!
Alice: Quiet! First you let Martmart get away, then you can't find Colettie!? SHE'S IN THIS TOWN! GET HER OR I'LL WHIP YOU!
Hawk: Yes ma'am! I-...ow!
Alice: DON'T TALK BACK TO ME! IN fact, I'm gonna beat you up more!
Marta: ...she's a real sadist....DON'T GET ANY KINKY IDEAS EMIL!
Emil: Huh!?
Tenebrae: So the Chosen is here? We should go find her!
Emil: Oh, right! The Chosen of Regeneration traveled with Lloyd! She might know where he is!
Marta: I don't wanna meet her...but I guess we don't have a choice, huh?
*team finds Colette*
Colette: So Lloyd isn't here, aww...
Marta: YOU! CHOSEN! WENCH! I HATE YOU!
Colette: ...what did I do to you?
Marta: Palmacosta! The world's merged, then a giant tree came and THE ENTIRE THING WENT ON FIRE! And they say its cause you ran away from your duties!
Colette: Its true...
Marta: *shoves Colette* YOU BITCH! I HATE YOU! *she runs*
Emil: ...
Colette: I'm sorry...
Emil I should...go check on her...
*outside*
Emil: Marta...
Marta: Its ok. I use to think that Palmacosta was just a sacrifice for a greater good, but...SHE ADMITTED TO BEING THE REASON ITS DESTROYED! IT MAKES ME ANGRY!
Kid: You there! You hurt the chosen! Go apologize!
Marta: Why should I!?
Kid: You...ahhh! Giant Deus Ex Machina Wind! HELP ME!!!
Marta: No! I'll save you!!! *Marta gets herself into a situation where she's saving the kid, but can't do anything to protect herself*
Alice: AHA! We found Martmart! Get her everyone!
Emil: No! Marta!
Hawk: OUT OF MY WAY BOY! *pushes him*
Emil: Oh, god what are we gonna do.
Tenebrae: Well, if it wasn't for that stupid "Centurion don't fight directly" plot point that was mentioned earlier, I'd consider helping you...
Colette: ANGEL FEATHER! *rings come and deflect everyone away, Colette is flying with Marta and the kid in her hands*
Marta: Why did you save me!?
Colette: cause you were someone in need!
Alice: Crap! Colettie is here, and she seems to still retain some of her plot powers from the previous game! Monsters, get them!
*the monsters lose*
Colette: Ok, glad to see you're all ok! Anyway, I got somethings I need to do, good bye!
Marta: ...I have to go thank her, lets go find her Emil!
Emil: You hated her though...
Marta: BUT SHE SAVED MY LIFE! I need to repay the favor!
Emil: *sigh*
*They catch up*
Marta: Thank you for saving us, Chosen of Regeneration!
Colette: Oh, now we can be friends! Call me Colette! *she actually says something like this*
Mayor: Ahem! There's still that problem with the Stone Dais!
Colette: Oh! Right! I promised to look into that for the sake of the wind!
Marta: Well I'm helping, even if you say no! I have to repay the debt!
Colette: I wouldn't have it any other way!
Tenebrae: Aha! She seems to have gotten over the hatred pretty quickly!
Emil: Uh, yeah.
Colette: Oh! That's a cute Doggie!
Tenebrae: I am not a dog! I am a Centurion! My name is Tenebrae!
Colette: Ok, I'll call you Tenebie!
Tenebrae: This is going to be a long journey...
*Colette Joins, she's several levels above the other characters, with god damn awesome stats and equipment, at the Stone Dais*
Colette: Hm...doesn't seem to be anything here...nope, no Fake Summon Spirit of Wind like last time!
Emil: Huh?
Colette: Oh no-...aaah! *she trips, knocks Marta down, a large bird flies over both*
Emil: Whoa! A monster!
Marta: That must be the cause of this problem! Lets kill it! We'll succeed with you by my side, right Emil
Colette: Everyone, get ready!
Emil: Uh, ok...
Marta: Damn it Emil! YOu're blushing when she speaks
*They fail to beat the Garuda, and retreat*
Marta: You saved us again! That bird almost got us!
Colette: All I did was trip...
Tenebrae: We need a Wing Dragon. They're the natural enemy of the Garuda! They can cut through the Garuda's defensive hides!
Colette: I know a dragon Tamer in Hiam! He'll tell us where to get one!
*at Hiam*
Emil: This place is overrun by monsters!
Tenebrae: Well, the Devil Powers here make that so...alternatively, its a convenient excuse to have another cheap dungeon.
Colette; IT...wasn't like this before...we must hurry!
*atop the mountain*
Emil: That's one big Imp...
Tenebrae: Would you believe me if I said he is not a boss fight?
Marta: Lets kill it anyway!
*they beat it*
Emil: Did it...eat the Dragon Tamer?
Colette: Hey! A Wing Dragon! I hear one!
*it comes flying in*
Wing Dragon: Caw caw caw caw!
Tenebrae: He's saying thank you for beating that pathetic boss and avenging his dad. He also says the Dragon Tamer got away. Oh, he's going to help us...yet not join our party...
Emil: but I thought I can capture monsters and make them our allies! What's the point of befriending a monster if its not going to fight for us?
Tenebrae: Plot Device.
Emil: Oh.
Colette: Lets go back to Asgard!
*at Asgard*
Tenebrae: Our Dragon friend is too small to attack the Garuda head on; he's just a child, though he can still break the defenses! Lets use someone as live bait!
Colette and Marta: I'll do it!
Marta: NO! I'm gonna do it! I'll prove a bigger woman to Emil than you!
Colette: Its my duty as Chosen, to help protect everyone!
Marta: YOU JUST WANT EMIL FOR YOURSELF!
Emil: ok, look, how about I do it!
Marta: Oh, you will!? MAN, Emil, You're so brave and awesome and ^_^_^_^_^_^
Colette: Oh, well, if you insist, that'll be alright.
Emil: ...funny how they stop arguing once I volunteered...
Tenebrae: To understand the mental psyche of a female is but an impossibility even to us Centurion...
*one Minigame and boss fight later*
Marta: Oh Emil! YOU WERE SO AWESOME OUT THERE!
Emil: Huh? The wind didn't Stop.
Colette: Hm...seems the Garuda wasn't the cause of it.
Tenebrae: Must be a different source, one that is of a different nature than my own which is why I can't sense it. Though, Garuda usually are docile...
Colette; Well, lets look into this more shall we?
Emil: Yeah, I...guess...
WILL THEY FIND OUT WHAT'S CAUSING THE WIND!? WILL THESE UPDATES GET MORE AMUSING AS TIME GOES ON!? AND WILL THIS PLOT TRAIN WRECK?
Find out next time on...
TALES OF POKEMON!
---
Note that Marta actually is this obsessed with Emil. I'm not taking liberties, she's pretty blatant about the whole "I want in Emil's pants!" This isn't a flanderization, SHE'S ACTUALLY LIKE THIS.
Also, yes, I know I failed to capture Tenebrae properly, but uh...its really hard to work with someone like him. I'll get better at him, I promise! Its also hard to truly make Emil the wimp he is <_<
If people want me to stop this...I will...but if no one says anything...well, expect more to come <_<
