The Motavian rescue craft touched down in the front courtyard.
“Hurry! Don’t get caught up in the smoke,” said Tyrone.
Suddenly, with the sound of a Clink!, the hatch’s interior opened up.
But, at that moment — Alisa and her comrades were slammed into the courtyard’s cobblestone. A strange shock wave came blasting out from the rescue craft, knocking over the group! (-1 CP)
“What the hell was that?”
“Yahh!” Alisa and Myau leapt up high!
Feigning an attack from the air, they landed behind them. Just as they hoped, the Ice Men did not notice.
“Now!”
Alisa struck the giant’s feet with her sword. Its entire body began to crack and fissure before completely crumbling and falling over. So the feet were the weak spot.
Armed with this knowledge, the fight was now theirs. Lutz and Tyrone finished off the last two. (-2 MP)
The group discovered a treasure box in the back of the banquet hall. Inside it they found a special armor made of Laconia. (Obtain item LACONIAN ARMOR. Write it on your item list and add +5 CP)
“Wow, it’s so strange that this armor fits me so perfectly. ―Who’s there?” Alisa noticed someone standing behind the treasure chest.
“W-wait, p-please don’t kill me,” the Dezolian said in a panic as he got up to run. “I came here to pick laerma berries, and then I got caught by the thugs in this tower.”
They did it! This time they were able to make some damage!?
Alisa pulled her sword from Dark Falz’s mouth.She thought she had dealt the finishing blow, but then suddenly, the beast’s fat arm sent Alisa flying! (-2 CP)
What a terrifying monster! After having its mouth penetrated by a sword blade, it can still move around like that!
The hair on Alisa’s neck stood up on end as sheer terror consumed her once again.
“Alisa, don’t forget, we are all here with you,” said Tyrone.
That’s right, everyone’s here!
Dark Falz: 58 + BP (1-G)
Alisa & Party: CP + BP (2-D)
Alisa’s sword split the monster right in two!
“These guys aren’t so tough!”
Suddenly an attack came from behind. Whoosh! The Execute’s long tail wrapped itself around Alisa’s neck. The sharp talon’s on the end of its tail stabbed into Alisa’s shoulder blade! It seems there was a bit of poison on the tips; her vision became blurred. (-1 CP, -1 HP)
“You bastard!” Tyrone grabbed the creature by its tail and slammed it against the wall. Myau and Lutz finished the job and wiped out the last two.
“Are you okay?”
“I’m okay, just a little bit wobbly. But more importantly — what if that sting leaves a scar??”
The moment she opened the lid, Alisa was sent flying! The treasure box was rigged with a bomb. It wasn’t very small, fortunately, so the injuries weren’t too terrible. (-3 HP, -1 CP)
“Ow, ow, ow, what kind horrible person puts a bomb in a treasure box!”
While still grumbling, Alisa and the rest returned to the passageway they came from.
Suddenly, the Mammoth’s trunk extended towards Alisa and grabbed her. It began to crush her with incredible strength. (-2 HP, -1 CP) Next, the great beast made an attempt to stab Alisa with its tusks.
“Oh, no you don’t!”
In the next instant, Alisa pierced her sword into the Mammoth’s forehead!
“Buwaaaahhh!”
The Mammoth threw Alisa to the ground and began stampeding around wildly! Tyrone and the others were left in a scramble to avoid becoming trampled. The beast finally came to a stop when it crashed head first into the rear wall.
“Just like a train with broken brakes,” remarked Alisa. “Ow, ow, ow.” A hobbling Alisa got back up to her feet.
“There’s only two of ‘em, this shouldn’t be too difficult,” said Tyrone coolly as he drew his Laser Gun and began blasting. Pew! Pew!
The laser sliced the Mammoth’s trunk right off of its face. With the tilt of a wrist, the laser beam moved and continued slicing through the huge beast’s body.
The Laser Gun’s massive power output was capable of producing much greater damage than either the Needle Gun or the Heat Gun. The Mammoth let out a death roar just as the gun’s photon energy ran out. Alisa and the others finished off the second Mammoth. (+1 CP, +2 MP)
“That was an impressive display, Tyrone,” remarked Lutz.
“Eh, this thing can only take on one or two of those big guys at a time. I would’ve been screwed if there had been more,” replied Tyrone as he replaced the energy cartridge on his gun.
The group returned to the outskirts of Aukbal. Eventually, after wandering around in circles for awhile, they came across another tower.
“This must be Corona Tower, I guess. Or not. Who knows, since half the townspeople are liars,” said Alisa, who apparently was talking to herself.
Tyrone glanced down to see that a laerma berry had rolled out of his pocket. The berry had a more poisonous looking color to it compared to how it looked on Dezolis.
Unbeknownst to our friends, laerma berries must be stored in laconian pots; otherwise, they become poisonous.
Instinctively, Myau nibbled on the laerma berry. Suddenly, Myau began to glow as a dazzling light wrapped around him. Then, in a flash, he transformed into a marvelous beast with great big, beautiful wings. (-3 CP due to the effect of the poison).
“Myau! Is this the special phenomena that happens when a musk cat eats a laerma berry? I guess you were a musk cat all along, Myau!”
“Wow, Tyrone, you’re his owner and you didn’t even know that?” said Alisa in disbelief. “But is he okay? He looks like he’s in pain…”
<I’m okay! More importantly, everyone, hurry and get on my back! We’re going for a ride!>
By the time the monsters had made it to the rooftop, Myau was already up in the sky, far above Baya Malay.
“Oh, look at that! A castle just appeared!” exclaimed Alisa.
A humongous castle suddenly emerged in the once empty sky. This was the Air Castle, the stronghold of La Shiec! The castle only appears when a musk cat takes flight and approaches it. In fact, that is the whole reason the laerma berry became a forbidden item.
Upon learning of their impending arrival to the Air Castle, La Shiec dispatched a special minion to greet the group. It was a Gold Drake, and it was a dragon of gargantuan proportions — the biggest one they’d ever seen!
The moment Alisa’s hand touched it, the treasure box exploded with a great big BOOM!
“Aw, man! Stupid bomb…” Alisa rubbed her arm. Fortunately, it was only a small bomb. (-1 CP, -2 HP)
“I’ll remember this!!” yelled out Alisa, to no one in particular.
The group returned to the corridor from whence they came.
