Panic!

Xchelly looked at her party members, her husband Undyingsoul stood by her side along with longtime Mythic member Volarion and the newcomer Bigby. “This entire backup for a little ole coeurl?” she laughed. The guys were bored and Soul tagged along because she would make him anyway. Vol and Big looked at each other, they had no reason to come here, but they knew they were going to hit stuff for a little while. The Sanctuary of Zi’Tah was covered with beautiful trees and it had nice scenery, but Chell loved the beautiful creatures that inhabited it more. She was after one thing, the meat that the coeurls of this land dropped. She even made sure she had her Treasure Hunter Ability equipped before she left. She stepped over the mossy grass, “I’ll be fine.” She announced to her small army. Big and Vol bowed out and separated. “You sure you going to be okay love?” Soul asked, he had a thousand of cheap arrows he could waste, and a bong. He was set. “I do this all the time, I’m good.” She kissed him off, he turned and headed away. He wasn’t leaving, but going to go pay the Big Gray Guys a visit. He wanted what they dropped, he was after riches. He caught up with Big and Vol. Big came along to give them Treasure Hunter 2, and to relieve some stress and to help out his newfound family. “Got one.” Soul called out as an arrow pierced through a Gobbue’s head. Volarion wasted no time to show off his swords, hacking away as the Gobbue flailed away at them. Big snuck behind Vol, his daggers dancing wildly, carving up some Gobbue tail. The Gobbue turned his anger onto Vol, hitting him with every ounce in his body before Soul dealt him his final blow. “Sweet.” He shouted as two tree cutting dropped. He patted Big on the back, who smiled warmly back at him.

Chell equipped her club, readied her shield to chest level. “May the goddess Altana be with me.” She chanted as Reraise II was cast on her. She needed all the protection she could get, she wasn’t a damage dealer like her husband or Vol or Big. She was a White Mage, the weakest melee class in the world. She had a Ranger for a husband, who loved shooting stuff as much as he seemed to love dying. Vol was a Blue Mage and Big was a Thief. They could handle their own when it comes to damaging a monster, but she found some mobs she could just annihilate. “Thickskin.” She thought as she Stone-skinned herself. “Try to hit me now.” She used the spell that allowed her to have shadows take a blow for her. “Rawr!” she playfully shouted as she approached her victim. Thunk. Her club made the sound as it hit the cat in the head, it snarled at her and began the battle. He clawed at her, but missed her as she evaded and hit him with her blunt club again. It charged towards her, trying to tackle her but her shadow absorbed it. Angrily it screamed at the top of its lungs, paralyzing her. She tried to swing again but her arms were heavy with paralysis. Then she felt his claw, but her rough skin kept her from harm. He clawed and clawed away, he skin was starting to give away on her, and she knew sooner or later, she would be scratched. They continued the tango, even though the cat was able to deal damage to her, it was just little scratches that didn’t hurt and she knew this battle was hers. Go’Bhu Bhascon walked around, his mouth was dry, and he wanted blood. He scanned the area, using wide scan to pick out the closest human mob. He was a bastard Notorious Monster, it didn’t take too much to anger him and for him to start a fight with you. Surveying the area, he locked in on a target on his map. And began walking towards his new target, fresh meat….new blood. Xchelly…. “Are you okay?” Soul asked his wife through his phone. He had farmed about eight tree cuttings so far and was taking time off to check on his wife. “I’m fine Soul.” She replied, “Nothing here can kill me.” He watched as Volarion Bludgeoned a monster to death. Big seemed to be enjoying his time with his new linkshell members, it was a bonding experience for him. “Well call me if you get into trouble love.” Soul said as he hung up. He walked over to a Sapling, took an arrow in his hand and stabbed it through its heart. “Let’s fight.” He told it, rolling over with laughter.

Chell continued to wail away at the kitty, laughing as it rammed its head against her shield. It suffered from the recoil, and she was recoiling from laughter. She decided to blind it, casting Flash and made it miss her even more. She had farmed a good amount of meat for her cooking, she just kept thinking of the money she was going to be making. It was 100% profit this way she always thought. Go’Bhu peeked through the bushes, his teeth sharp as he watched the Whm dance with the cat. He decided she looked delicious and couldn’t wait to feast on her blood. He snarled on the inside, he didn’t want to alarm her just yet, but she was his. With that satisfaction, he waited. Volarion excused himself, he had to go do his business. He parted ways with them to find a nice spot where no one was around, he walked past all of the critters, looked at the Goblins as they dug their treasure in the ground safely, he pointed his dagger at Vol, almost threatening him to forget what he just saw. Vol just threw up his hands and walked away filled with laughter. For some odd reason, unknown to her, the hair on the back of her neck stood up. She felt a hot breath on her neck, she shivered inside. She didn’t want to turn around though, whatever was behind her, was scaring the piss out of her. Reluctantly she turned, she felt as though she had no choice, panic swept inside her, her chest thumping wildly. She saw nothing and it baffled her. She looked around confused. She decided her mind was playing tricks on her and she turned to face a new kitty. As she equipped her club, she tried to move but her feet felt planted to the ground. Surprised she tried to yank it, but it wouldn’t budge. She began walking backwards, now the fear she felt was unprecedented. She turned around and that’s when she spotted him, he was using Draw In. It’s a move that makes you appear right in front of the monster, no matter where you are and only the asshole NMs used it. Go’Bhu almost had her in his grip, he unsheathed his Great Sword, a long and mighty blade that has to have about a thousand players death at its hands. She swallowed her spit, fear overcome her whole body, she peered through the Quaduv’s helmet, its eyes crippling her. “Why me?” Was her first thought. There she stood, she had no choice, time to do battle. He looked at her, his eyes bewildered and they shone with hunger. Backing away, she knew she couldn’t run. “Goddess Altana, have mercy on my soul.” She prayed as she Reraise II herself. He shook his head at her, and used Dispel. “I am a White Mage, but I have the Heart of a Paladin.” She chanted as she cast Stoneskin. He Stunned her midcast. She sat there helpless. He raised his sword above his head, and it came crashing down to the earth, splitting the dirt beneath it. Chell managed to roll out of the way of that one, he swung it wildly and she ducked. “Fuck.” She swore. She backed away and something caught her leg, she tried to brace herself but not before she tumbled backwards and landed on the ground. “Oww.” The pain shot through her ankle. “Fucking branch.” She cried out in pain, tears formed in her eyes as Go’Bhu stood over her, sword in the air, she took in the last little bit of sunlight behind the Quaduvs head before she closed them.

He finished his business and began walking away when he saw something in the distance. He ran towards it, curious of what it was, then he saw it, his heart dropped into his chest, he had to act fast. As Go’Bhu’s sword came crashing down, he was stopped halfway. Vol’s Headbutt had worked perfectly and just in the nick of time. He sighed a breath of relief, but then it dawned on him. “For Fuck’s sake.” He cried as the NM turned to him. He did nothing but anger it, and now the hate was shifted onto him. “Try and damage me.” He taunted him as he began to cast Utsusemi. Suddenly Vol seemed to multiply by four. Feeling a little confident, he took out his swords and got into a fighter’s pose. Go’Bhu was amused at the pesky Blu and he swung his Great Sword at him, it cut one of his shadows in half as it disappeared. His swords seemed like it barely scratched Go’Bhu and he decided on a new approach. He backed away from the NM, with him in tow. Mandilur Bite he cast on him, he watched as it landed smoothly. Chell has gotten on her feet, she smiled at Vol and began to buff herself. Vol’s face hid his fear, he never faced this NM before, but he knew he was tough. Go’Bhu roared, his voice sending shattering waves throughout the area. Vol was scared stiff, he couldn’t move, he was petrified. As he walked towards a helpless Vol, he no longer had the shadows on his side, he lunged the sword at his neck. A blinding light hit his eyes and he missed, he swung again, missed. This angered him and he turned to Chell. Her flashed have saved Vol’s life, just like his headbutt did her, they were even, but she would worry about that after they both live. “GRRR.” His voice sounded furious, he began to cast Sleep II on Chell. Before she knew it, her eyes were closed. He wound his sword, waving it in the air ten times, preparing for his most dangerous weaponskill. Go’Bhu readied Blade Of Death. It has been known to take out a high level Galka Monk with full hp in one hit. It just took forever to cast, but little did she know, when that two minute timer is up, she would have slept through her last breath. Vol’s eyes stared blankly, his face was formed in the smile he had before he was petrified but deep inside it was full of horror. He swung it around for the hundredth time, he stopped, pointed it at her. Finally her blood was going to be his. He felt something pierce his back, it crippled him and he couldn’t attack immediately. He dropped to one knee. Soul stood there, smirk on his face. “Bitch.” He spat. “Sidewinder for the win.” He laughed as Go’Bhu dropped. He had raced throughout the Sanctuary with Bigby behind him, his wife didn’t answer her phone and he sensed something was wrong. Bigby stood in front of him, a relieved look on his face. “Are you okay.” He asked as he noticed Vol looked too scared to move. “Can’t move.” He replied. Within a split second, Go’Bhu stood, and launched his sword towards the Ranger. Soul’s eyes grew big, but his reaction time wasn’t enough. It went straight through his chest, three inches above Bigby, who despite Soul got hit, thanked God he was A TaruTaru. Soul fell backwards, blood spilling out onto the blade, his eyes rolled into the back of his head. Bigby in a panic equipped his daggers, he casted his shadows, he knew he was next. Go’Bhu walked past Bigby, walked towards soul, and removed the blade from his body, blood mixing in with the moss and dirt. Go’Bhu wasn’t feeling as strong as he did in the beginning, Soul really did some damage to him. But he knew this fight was his, he was sure of it. Big tapped on Chell’s coat, slapping her lightly on the cheek. “Wake up.” He said as she came to. Her eyes fixed on the NM standing overtop her husband. “Get ready to get Soul up, he told her.” Bigby had a plan, he was sure he was going to die, but he had a plan none the less. Chell cast Stona on Vol and he was able to move again.

Big moved towards the NM, he took a deep breath and hacked away to get his attention. The hits seemed to be doing damage to him now, and Vol began to melee also. With Go’Bhu distracted, Undyingsoul raised back to life and took a knee next to his wife. As his sword cut into Big, each hit making his pain more and more unbearable. He brought out his secret weapon, Soul was chipping arrows away at the NM from a distance. He was down to thirty percent health and Mythic may claim a victory. Bigby tapped into his evasiveness, Perfect Dodge he used, and Go’Bhu flailed away but couldn’t hit him. He nodded to Vol. Burst Affinity, Chain Affinity he used two powers of the Blue Mage. His swords landed the Red Lotus Blade, and he cast Jet Stream behind it. Go’Bhu shifted the anger to him, before he knew it. Undyingsoul had used Eagle Eye Shot, he felt his bow become lit ablaze with power. “Die.” He said as the Sidewinder left Go’Bhu reeling. With his hate onto Soul it was Big who decided to do the most dangerous move of all. “I’m a taru, I’m a thief, I am sneaky.” He tapped into his powers and used Sneak Attack. Trick Attack followed. As Go’Bhu sword near Soul’s skull he let loose his Dancing Edge. “Shit.” Big cried when Go’Bhu didn’t drop. He grabs Big by the throat and hoisted him high, Soul and Vol chipped away but too much hatred was placed on Big. He slammed him down onto his sword, his fingers twitched as the pain shot through his body. Then they twitched no more. Vol used Azure Love, he felt a blue aura creep up around him. Mandilur Bite was the move he casted, Go’Bhu dropped to his knees, his sword fell out his hand. Soul stuck twelve arrows onto his bow, the Barrage hit him clean in the face, Go’Bhu cried as he took the last breath, defeated. After Chell raised Big, she walked towards the dead NM. She equipped her club and hit him repeatedly. “Bitch.” “That sucked ass.” Vol cried as they all turned and left. “You aren’t allowed to farm for a month.” Soul joked as he held Chell by her waist. “Welcome to Mythic Big.” She opened her arms to him. “Smooth.” He said as his weakness wore. They left the Sanctuary unsuspected heroes, but felt as though there wasn’t a monster to stand in the way of this family. Before they zoned, Chell took one last look back at Go’Bhu, a smile on her face, he wasn’t getting blood tonight. She stared at him, “Love… come on.” Soul ushered her. She looked at the Quaduv who caused her soo much trouble, then she saw it and her heart flipped. His hand twitched, reaching out to grab his sword. “Get us out of here.” She screamed as she casts Teleport-Altep…………
