Jaden nodded his head at Ken's motion to go with Rikku. Running off to where his throwing knife was he picked it up, and ran off to where Rikku now was. "Whats going on?" Jaden slowed his speed as to not out run her.
((Bleh... short post...))

((I might end up reading the whole thing eventually, but I read from I think page 22-27ish, mabye before that, so I know you are all in the middle of a boss fight. xd
I dunno if the profile is up or not, so I'll try to keep that in mind in this first post.))
Melody sighed earlier that morning as she entered the cave where the bazaar was held. She had just gotten to this place and already didn't like the feel of it; the air was so dry it was easy to lose the voice in your throat. Her grandfather had given her his book of prayers and spells, and she had been using the prayer section more than ever as she got to this desolate place. Paranoia or just wanting to be safe? The lines seemed to blend by this point; this place reeked of danger and she could almost feel the tormented souls of the city rise from the ground to try to drag her under (an exaggeration of course, but with how saddening the city was, it could pass as a possibility).
It had felt like such a long trek in such a short time span, mainly in trek of land coverage; they (her grandfather, who wanted to at least accompany his 14 year old daughter to the main city, went with her) had first traveled to the capital, where she got a crash course from their priest on any white magic she had not yet heard of. They weren't super by the time she left their church, but the whole point was to learn while exploring the world; only in dire situations and constant practice could it be perfected and even more spells learned.
Before entering the bazaar to restock on some supplies, she went behind a rock and took out a small pocket mirror to check her appearance best she could. Rose-colored hair and neko ears, accompanied by crimson eyes looked back at her, her face a tad grimy from the dirt, but still smooth. Her white strapless travel dress was a tad torn, but still fit comfortably on her adolescent body. This was adorned with matching long fingerless gloves, symbols of unreadable language along with gold bracelets of the same symbols.
After checking to see what she needed to buy (she wished that grandfather hadn't given her so much of his savings; priest or not, he still needed a way to eat and such), she put back on her red and white priestess robe.....she couldn't help but at this point while still grateful for his care, at the same time.....it practically had the symbols of their church and language upon it, not exactly "disguise" material! Never mind that; it'll keep you warm! was his response when she had mentioned it before leaving, and he was kind of a hard one to debate with, considering his age and already losing 4 out of 5 kids.....
Putting it over her head and covering it (as well as most of her body; it was a tad big), she made her way into the crowded shopping district.
It was at the point where she had just bought the last item on her list (the shopkeeper didn't look too happy as she had just gotten a good bargain on some fruits and vegetables by him accidentally misprinting it to be very cheap; after a five minute debate, he was now changing the prices after she got the accidental discount), shouts from whatever was going on in the crowds suddenly got silent, as a young woman joined teh man who was at the....a stockade? They were keeping someone as a human punishment? How cruel!
Then again, her grandfather had mentioned this already to her: The people in power in that city are as twisted as twisted can be; try not to draw any attention to yourself when you pass through there, and stay there as little as possible if you can...please. D: he had partially begged her. She felt so horrible for him; her mind told her to while leaving to stay, but she knew in her heart she couldn't do it...and he knew it too.
It got heated very quickly, and the large judge began to wreak havoc on his own people as the walls began going everywhere. It was an escape plan...gone foolishly to do it in front of so many people. She was all for whatever the royally-cloaked woman was doing but honestly, wait til nightfall time when everyone's tired and sleepy!
Sprinting through the crowds, she saw she was with multiple people and had tried to follow them footstep wise, but the woman suddenly disappeared; solar speed, most likely. Yup, definitely royalty; dang, I didn't get a closer look to see who it was. she thought to herself, but it seemed that one of her soldiers had stayed behind to fight....how valiant. But the Judge would crush him on his own.
She tried to make her way back into the falling building, but this was becoming a slow task as everyone was trying to get out, and instead she began stopping several of the people and healing several of them and their wounds using her staff. They had been caught in the midst of an issue; it was very irresponsible for that judge to be hurting his own people in his search of pride.

((thanks that was actually more than I expected you to read, thank you very much for being proactive in that!))
Rikku
"Alot... I don't really have time to explain, other than Dimitri is taking on a corrupt Judge, and all of his soldiers, and we need to get back and help him." She said Frantically. "Are you coming or do you want to stay back here and help them take care of him?" She asked looking in the direction of the bizarre.
Ken
"What did they do to him!" He said looking over the young man that they had laid on the couch, he was beaten and bruised all over, almost looking like he had been torchered like some kind of slave or something.
"he is very close to death... 12 more hours up there would've probably killed him... he is incredibly malnurished and just keeps saying something about a woman named "Cefia"" Luna stated as walker was grabbed some water and was working on getting him to drink some. "I really hope rikku and them get back, so that rikku can give some of her antidote to him as well..." Luna said stroking back the mans hair.

"I am sure that they have it handled." Jaden looked back to the house, then in the general direction of where Rikku was looking off to. "The more allies the better chance of surviving." Going into a sprint, he headed to the bizarre. "Can't be too hard to spot out a fight in the middle of a bizarre!" He was already out of shouting range from where Rikku was standing. Pulling out two of his throwing knives, one in each hand he closed in on the are where the fight was.

Dimitri lept into the air doing a flip, over the attacks. He landed croutched. "I'm sorry for this" He said and stood. He pulled off his glove and rolled up his sleeve. The arm blades flared out. "Bless me O'lord for I shall cast out the wicked...may mercy be brough upon their souls" He muttered too himself and charged.

RIkku
"HEy DOn't be stupid!" She yelled running after him. "Solar speed!" She said turning into a beam of light and grabbing on to him, transporting him with her.
They appeared right outside the Bizarre. And Rikku laughed slightly. "Why would you waste all your energy running here... and besides, how did you think I got here so fast." She said looking over the small hill they were hiding behind. "There up ahead, C'mon!" She said jumping over the barricade. "Dimitri we're here to help!" She said as she ran into the bizarre. "Solar Flare!" She cried, aiming at the judge's guards, so that dimitri could focus on the judge himself. out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a little neko girl, that was still here, she had refused to leave... this piqued Rikku's curiousity, but she didn't have time to really ask her about it.
THE JUDGE
"Really!, you just made this battle much easier." The judge Cackled. "I am no fool, I saw that Ty was a demon, however, I am a master of the Dark arts, your demon will be of no use, I will take control, just like I did with Ty, but somehow that woman broke my spell." He said not noticing that RIkku had come back, and brought reinforcements. He easily teleported away from Dimitri to avoid the attack, while charging a large ball of darkness, and firing it at him.
((Sorry about the minor god-mod, but he is supposed to be a boss fight... so expect it to be a little harder than fighting normal people))

"Wha-!?" Jaden was startled to find himself suddenly in the bizarre. "I... Uhh..." He rubbed the back of his head and had a slight blush on his cheeks realizing he was now embarrassing himself. "All right." He said as he ran forward to where the Judge was. Tossing a knife at the guard to the left, and one to the right of him, he flicked his hand causing the hidden blade to shoot out, and used it to stab the one in front of him in the spine killing them before they even knew he was there as he flicked another knife at the judges knee.

Before the large ball of darkness struck the man and the two standing next to him, a large intricate but sturdy shiny floating object of what seemed to act as a shield appeared in front of them, almost octagon shaped. As the darkball hit, there was some resistance as the shield had sunk in slightly, but the ball ended up dispersing into nothing and the shield uprighted itself.
Melody sunk a bit under the weight she had had to pull back, but straightened herself as the ball dispersed. The rings on her hands were spinning and glowing brightly, her head still hidden under the cloak hood but one could note cat ears visible by the shape.
She knew she was taking an ultimate risk by getting herself involved in this (espeically since Grandpa didn't want to lose his last child), but two of the earlier departures had returned, and one of them (to her complete shock) was none other than the highly talked about High Priestess. Why she was out of the castle was beyond Melody's understanding at the given moment, but she supposed it had to be fairly important....at least, it better be.
"I may be unaware of who this Ty character is, but you sir, nearly killed your own people in your own stupidity of attacking in a caved bazaar; you are a irresponsible fool and a poor judge in morality in an already desolate wasteland." she responded coldy as she kept herself as masked as possible. It then occurred to her to quickly move behind the shield, and as she did so her mind began to race of ideas; this man was ungodly strong, she had no idea long she could keep him back. He was right saying he was a pro at this at least.
"You all will still be able to attack him; it'll go through the shield and keep his attacks out....well, we're going to severely hope it keeps his attacks out." she added to the group and bit her lip as she moved her staff about in a pattern creatign an additional spell. The middle of the shield suddenly bloomed into an (oddly shaped; she needed work on this) sakura-like flower with a hole where the middle of the floewr would usually be.
With a jerked arm movement, she yelled "FIRE!", and like a cannon, several circular balls of what looked to be light erupted from the flower and was fired towards the judges direction.

Dimitri looked back at the others. "This is my fight, everyone else back out!" He said and looked back at the judge. "Dark arts..." He said and something flashed from beneath his eyepatch a deep crimson glow. "...A pathetic excuse for imitation demonic powers. And that Ty person must have been a weakling too be able too be forced by such a weak old man like you...Tell me 'Judge'. Tell me have you ever heard...of Minos?" He asked.

THE JUDGE
"I do not care to know the names of beings that are beneath me." He spat looking at the young girl who had blocked the attack, and gritted his teeth. 'a light mage...' he thought to himself getting worried for a second before the demon demanded that it was his fight not theirs and he relaxed again. "You are right about one thing, Ty was weak, he refused to use his powers against us, but you, you are strong, we could use you... and unlike Ty you aren't some halfbreed... no... you are two seperate spirits stuck in your body... we just have to find a way to get Minos out." He said going into a typical villain monologue, before sending another ball of darkness at him.
Rikku
"Dimitri, Don't be stupid!" She pleaded with him, striking down another guard. "We are like a big family now, me, you, alexander, ken, killian, luna, and even jaden if he decides to keep traveling with us!" She continued to plead. "Don't be stupid let us help!, we've got to watch out for each other ya know!" She yelled at him.

Dimitri chuckled and swatted the ball away. "Minos is someone you'll be meeting when this fight is over Old man. King Minos is The Judge. When you enter hell your in the first ring known as Limbo. Once you are infront of Minos he will read out your sins and you will be taken by the ferrymen Charon to your determined fate too suffer for eternity as punsihment for your crimes...by praticing dark arts your already a heretic and will burn for it. I wonder what other sins your hiding, perhaps greed, gluttoney, trechery, fraud, one never knows" He said and tapped into the demon's power. He didn't anwser Rikku. He'd never had anywhere he belonged, no family, increadably few friends. "I want you and everyone out of here Rikku...If I loose control I won't stop with just the judge..." He said.

"Rikku is right!" He yelled back at Dimitri. A guard noticed Jaden, and ran at him. Swinging the blade down trying to slice him in half, he easily dodged the blade, grabbed hold of the guards sword arm, and flipped the blade then stabbed him in the stomach with his own blade and watched him fall. "You can't take on all these guys alone with out help!" Another guard came at him from the front but was quickly taken down as he flicked his hand and a throwing knife flew towards his stomach. "Idiot..." He sighed before he felt a blade slash his arm leaving a large gash and gritted his teeth in pain, refusing to yield to the pain. Twisting around, he sunk his own blade into the guards throat and looked over at Dimitri. "You wont lose control, you are the master of your own abilities!" He yelled at Dimitri, unsure of what Dimitri was talking about, but he tried to get him to know he had allies. Feeling blood roll down his arm, he tore some cloth off his robes, and started to tie it around his arm hoping no guards would come after him.

The Judge
The judge was beginning a powerful spell and wasn't paying attention to Melody, as her cannonball collided with him dropping him from the sky, like a rock. "You little wench." He spat floating up into the air again and firing a beam of darkness at the little girl. "Do not Interfere."
Rikku
RIkku ran over by Dimitri's Side dragging Jaden along with her, before striking an offensive pose. "Dimitri, have a little more faith in yourself... I trust you.. I know things won't go sour..." She said with a smile. " if you fight alone you are much more likely to loose control... besides, If things go bad, I can get Jaden and that girl out of here.... Remember, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, and I can travel that speed." She smiled. "Now lets kick a judge's a**." She said seeing the Judge flying at Melody!!! "WATCH OUT!" She yelled charging up a spell.

Dimitri runs, taking this moment to get in a shot at the judge. he jumps and uses his human hand to grab the judge by the collar of his shirt. "Should keep your eyes on the real threat" He says and winds back and slams his demon fist into the judges gut. Dimitri leans back pulling the judge into a flip. He plants his feet on the judge and pushes the judge groundward and digs his demon hand into the ceiling and inverts himself too watch the judge.

((Hey thunderking, when I control an npc for a boss fight... these aren't the npc's you can do things like that to without clearing it from me, everyone wants to have an epic moment when the beat the "F" out of someone but you've got to clear it with me first. I won't make you change your post, but just because they are an npc, doesn't mean you can auto hit them please ask me first next time))
The Judge
The judge Flinched when Dimitri got that close and the punch to the gut knocked the wind out of him but he regained his composure when he was hurled at the ground, and as he flew towards the ground, he flashed a wicked smile at Dimitri as he melted into the ground, and a darkness began emanating from where he hit, engulfing everything he touched, until everything was black, there was no light anywhere, the judge had absorbed all the light in the bizarre, and now no one could see anything.
RIkku
Rikku tried to light the area back up, using her solar magic.. but since there was no light in the room her light magic was really weak. "Jaden! Dimitri! You guys ok?" She called out hoping they were ok it was like someone closed your eyes for you and now noone could see anything. "Other girl! (Melody) Who I don't know... Are you ok too?" Rikku asked trying to feel her way through the darkness to find someone. "If you know any WHITE MAGIC you might be able to dispel this darkness and force the judge out of hiding." She said looking around
((lol so did you like my "sublte" white magic hint, lol Sora kitty that is you!))
The Judge Again
The Judge was speaking, but in a voice only the demon inside dimitri could here. "Take control of him." It rang out dastardly and dark. "Take control of him and we will free you from that weak body, and get you into a more... befitting vessel for a powerful demon such as yourself..." He said. "Reach forth and take control of this dimitri... let his self doubt feed your hunger, for we are both striving for the same goal, to open the door to hell, and let it's demons run over this world, and niether one of us can do it alone." He stated.
