ROM 3: Shadows of Souls

Post by **Celebifly** » Tue Feb 22, 2005 10:03 pm

"Relax Opal....like that movie said, count to five...and freak out if you get to six. 1.....2....3...4...and a half...." She stopped when she came to the opening to the room where Bowen was "Meep" She gulped

"Ah, some new meat. I mean...new face" Bowen approached Opal

"Don't come near me....I have no monster! Or that Djinim! I'm dead....or I'll...um..." She came up blank. As Bowen was in hands breath reach, without a heart beat, Opal thrusted her hand out and touched his skin, causeing a deep burn in his flesh

"AAAH! IT BURNS!" Bowen cried as Opal ran for it. As he healed, a smirk came across his face "She could be some great use...yes.." Bowen followed her

Mustadio is a good guy and wouldn't be willing to sacrifice all of us just to save one other person.? And just because someone is being controlled doesn't mean they can't temporarilly break free of that control, such as when Mustadio approached Opal.? Also, it seems like you're trying to avoid a battle with us.? If we beat you in battle, thereby weakening Hellion, it should be easier to free the kid.? Winning doesn't mean that we have to blow you to pieces or anything.?

Anyway, as I've said before, having your plans completely changed by someone else is pretty much a normal part of ROM and has happened to all of us many times.? But, to be fair I'll ask Silver, Shauni, Neo, Opal.? Ok guys, please post and tell us if you want to follow my Mustadio explantion or pokchu's.? Majority opinion will stand.))

((...Okay, just saying. It was so he was to put on an act to convince the others. That's why he said "I hope the forgive me". Sometimes, you must harm a friend to save a friend.

Fine, ruin one of my biggest plans, whatever. You know what? Jeff has a point.))

PockyPokchu [8:52 AM]: Well, ROM first. I suppose.
JeffGallo77 [8:53 AM]: What about ROM >_>
PockyPokchu [8:53 AM]: Posting. >,<; I'm pissed at what they did. I need to get Mustiado out of there...
JeffGallo77 [8:54 AM]: ROM is so my story =\
PockyPokchu [8:55 AM]: ;o
JeffGallo77 [8:55 AM]: You guys ruined it forever ;O;
PockyPokchu [8:56 AM]: I know. -_-;

Maybe we should like, wrap it up soon. -_-;

Also, bounty hunter isn't what I meant to put. >.<; *le sigh* Maybe, Mustiado has mistaken her for an old friend? :o?))

*I must find a way to escape. I'm glad they forgave me, but when it comes to protecting my own hide, I must get out of here, and find Opal.*

"Mustiado, you okay?"

"Yeah..." He said, sighing. "Look, I need to get to Bowen's lair. There's just something I have to take care of once and for all...How did I become the one to get caught in the smack-dab middle..." He ran off.

"HEY! WHAT ABOUT WATER?!"

"SORRY SILVER!" His figure grew dim, and Silver could no longer see.

"Careful..."

((Pokchu, how about asking Opal before trying to do something with her character again? And harm? Mustadio was trying to kill and/or capture us, the ones who saved his life not long ago. I can't see him doing that to save one person he hasn't even known for very long. I'm not sure what Jeff was talking about (I'll have to ask next time he's on AIM) but like I've said before, getting your plans changed is a basic part of ROM. Instead of complaining you got to learn to adapt. And if you don't like how ROM works, feel free to drop out once we defeat Hellion. Right now it looks like there will be a ROM 4 although personally, I think it should be the last purely for story reasons.))

((A couple questions. Since all of us are going to Bowen's lair why should Mustadio run there on his own instead of staying with us? Also, you do realize that, without a gauntlet of power, Mustdaio can't enter Bowen's lair, right?

((Sarcasm, every heard of it Pocky? <_< Wow, I mean, the only reason I stopped posting, is because I fell behind in the story. Don't listen to anything Pocky says okay? I don't blame you for my lack of participation. It is mainly my fault for being involved in too many things. So yeah, just ignore that and continue with the story. Thank you, and have a good day. :))

((Someone still doesn't undesrtand what's going on... And I think Mustadio knows that if he stays with us he'll be able to get in easier, considering Emiel, who happens to be with us, has the only way to get in to Bowen's lair without being in Bowen's Lair. <_< ))

"Eh, who needs 'im. Go Kojie! Use Shine!" *Silver let the next monster out, who then used an attack to brighten the cave. Several bat-like monsters flew out, and Silver, Varna and the two monsters walked inside. They followed Ummie, who led them farther and farther underground before coming to a large lake* "Nice..." *As they walked closer to the water, a creature resembling a Plesiosaurus emerged from the water and attacked them* "So THAT'S the Loch Ness Monster!"

((And so my patients dies.... I will post tommorow, I actualy dont want to post now....I am so angry...i'm shaking...

((Ugh... Looks like the best way to get Mustadio into Bowen's lair for whatever purpose is for him to stay with us so...))

*Josiah strolled cautiously through the forest. He didn't think there would be any threats in the area, aside from wild monster, but it never hurt to be careful. Suddenly he stopped and turned. Someone was running towards him.* "Mustadio?" *Josiah blocked the young man's way.* "What are you doing? Was your group attacked?"

"No, nothing like that. But I have to get to Bowen's lair. I can't just sit around waiting, I need to finish this."

"Calm down, I know you feel. I hate waiting, especially when there's two powerful enemies out there doing who knows what. But running off on your own won't solve anything. You don't have Daku's power anymore, you'd never make it on your own. Besides, Bowen's lair is shielded, you couldn't even get inside."

"But then what are you going to do?"

"I can't say much now but we have a way in. Just calm down. If we all work together we can do this." *Although the evil in Mustadio was gone, Josiah didn't want to tell him about Emiel's guantlet of power just yet.*

"Yes, you're right. Sorry I got carried away."

"That ok, it happens to everyone. Come on, let's get back to camp."

Qutar was tired of waiting for the rest. They'll come when they come. "Well, might as well have a chat with Hellion and stall him and maybe have some warmups too. I just hope Bowen will leave me be as I'm not after him." Qutar then steped in.

Yomikko and Virgo where waiting for Shauni at the oak, she finaly arrived just as they where baout to give up waiting
Where were you?"
"I'm sorry" she replyed meekly
She sat down inbetween the two girls
"So...whats wrong?"
Shauni held out her arm and pulled up her selve
"That rash on your arm...its bigger..." remarked Yomikko with concern in her voice
"Whats going on...is it a reaction to the transformation?"
Shauni suck her head "No...its Bowens data that Hellfire mergred with before I was born..."
"Wait...your turning into Bowen??" Asked Virgo who stood up violently at the mear idea
Shauni pulled her back down "NO! And be quite, I dont want the others to know..."
"Well then...what IS it?"
"The data that makes him stone when he doesnt have a body...it was activated when I transfored...my body is turing into stone like him.."
"Well...cant unmerging just stop it?"
"I..I cant unmerge...ive alredy tryed...its what took me so long...it looks like unmerging only speeds it up"
She pulled up her pants legs, her ankel was incased in stone
"Its already spredding..."
"What are we going to do..."
"There is only one way to resolve it...we need the other gauntlet of power inside Bowens layer...it will allow me to control data...my own data...and it will stop as long as I waire it...Its the oposite of emiels....hes displaces data, the other stablises it"
"Stableise data...so we could also fix Orca as well...if we had them both?"
"..maybe..."
"Shauni, you have to tell the others"
"No, no one must know...i would only worry everyone...we can worry later..."
"Alright"
"I dont like this""
"sware you wont tell josiah"
She closed her eyes "I sware...but I still dont like it"

*Josiah and Mustadio arrived back at the camp the same time as David and Jeff.*

"Hey, did you guys find anything?"

"Nope, this area seems pretty safe."

"If Mustadio is here where's Silver and Varna?"

"They're still looking for water." *Josiah saved Mustadio an awkward explanation.*

"Sure is taking them long enough. I hope nothing happened."

"They'll be fine. It's not like they'll be attacked by the Loch Ness monster or anything."

*The turned and noticed that the girls were missing as well.*

"Hey Emiel, where did the girls go?"

"They went off to talk about something."

"Great, I was hoping for some food."

"It's not like they could do much without water. I wish Silver would hurry up."

Emiel lay agaisnt a tree, not moving with his eys closed, he was day dreaming about Yomikko, hed really fallen for her
"Maybe this place isnt so bad after all...." he thought to himself

His thoughts where interupted by the girls returning, he bolted upright as all three of them where somber

"Whats wrong with you guys?" asked josiah

All three of them looked at each other, remebering the excuess they had come up with
"No food..."
"Nothing..."
"Sorry"

"Well..thats ok I guess...Silver hasnt come back with water anyway...lets all go looking for food now.."

Shauni had her boots back on, and she now wore gloves, it would only be a matter of time before the rash reached her face, but she would worry about that later, everyone else was more important
"Come on Emiel, fancy going hunting?"
He looked up at him "Um...how?"
he grinned
"I'll show you"

"This guy doesn't look so tough... Ok, well, he kinda does, but... I'll have my monsters hold 'im back for a little while, so you just go grab some water so we can get out of here." *Varna nodded, running down and filling a container with water. As 'Nessie' was about to attack him, Kojie used Leaf Chain to hold the Plesiosaurus like monster in place* "Now let's get out of here!" *Silver, Varna and the two monsters ran for the exit, but 'Nessie' shot a stream of water at the 'cieling' and rocks fell down to block the 'door'* "Aw Fudge Crackers... Go Manja! Dragon Combo!" *Manja attacked the Loch Ness Monster with its Drgon claws, teeth, tail and flames, doing severe damage and giving Ummie a chance to charge through the rocks* "Huh... We're here, might as well... Manja, Dark Flame!" *Manja used another powerful attack, then Silver threw an empty card at Nessie and captured it* "Well, now I can prove the existance of the Loch Ness Monster... but I still can't get out of here. Does anyone remember how we got here?"

"...Your monster left foot prints in the mud..."

"Oh yeah... then let's go." *They followed Ummie's foot prints to the exit of the cave and went back to the camp* "We brought water... and man was it a headache to get. I mean, this game even had guards for the water supplies!"

(Wondering.....how can you get OUT of Bowens lair?)

Post by **shauni** » Fri Feb 25, 2005 5:32 am

(anyone can get out once there in, the barrior is one way, also, if Bowen wants to let you in he can, like with Opal, shauni and neo, but without that, only a gaunlet can let you have free passage, i'm guessing Hellion used his power to make a fake gaunlet or something)
