"Right," Deist replied to Noel as they ran and followed the girl into the more denser part of the forest. Kain, after hearing everything they need to know about Zerek, thought, 'Ignorant, huh? I wonder if we can use that to our advantage.' Then he asked Alice, "So Alice, do you know where we can find the first summon stone?" He figured that they were going to need a few summon stones before trying to go after the scientists. Hopefully, there was at least a summoner or two among the group as Kain was certainly no Rydia. He assumed his son couldn't summon, too.

The tattoo on Alice's back was facing the rest of the group and Noel couldn't take his eyes off of it. It was so strange for a girl that young to have such a skin blemish that had been self-inflicted. Alice looked over her shoulder, "Well, I'm not sure how but I can sense where a summonstone is." She answered, "I think it has something to do with summon particles being infused with the type of particles altered memories are made of. Alice continued in the same direction, "So the first one is somewhere down this way."

"You can sense summonstones?" Kain asked. Alice said that she thinks it might have something to do with the summon particles infused with her altered memories. They followed her in the direction of the summonstone as Deist smiled joyfully as cried, "Ah sweet! We have a living homing device! We can use Alice to find where the summonstones are."

"I'm not a toy, okay?" Alice muttered, "Don't forget that. But I guess it is sort of like a homing device in a way..." She added as an afterthought. As she moved carefully through the forest, keeping a lookout for any type of foreign movement that wasn't made by the group themselves. After about twenty minutes of walking, the group came out to a clearing in the woods that had various criss-crossing streams. In the intersection of the streams, a red glowing orb pulsed.
Noel approached it, "What is that?" He asked.
Suddenly, Alice reached forward, grabbing the back of Noel's clothing and jerking him back, "Get away from that!" She shouted as a white light emitted from the orb and became blinding within seconds. Noel and Alice shielded their eyes away from it as to not hurt their vision.
((So which summon will this be? It's in water so probably something like Leviathan or Carbuncle?))

((Make it Carbuncle, I'm still researching Leviathen, besides shouldn't Leviathen be in a more ocean like setting? Which reminds me, which Leviathen are we using?))
The katzroy brothers followed quietly as Alice explained things to them. Sazh had quietly convinced Rajh to leave Alice alone on the matter of her being a scientist. When they came out of the forest and onto a clearing criss-crossed with rivers. Just in front of them was a red orb and just as Noel approached it and flashed brightly forcing Sazh and rajh to cover their eyes. "Whoa! What did you do Noel!?" Sazh called into the light since the boy was closer to the orb than Sazh and Rajh.

((Probably the sea-serpent form of Leviathan as long as everyone agrees. But the carbuncle being used is one that I've designed on my own so it actually looks somewhat intimidating xD))
"I didn't do anything!" The blinded Noel shouted back as the light began to fade away to show an enormous creature in a lovely shade of blue, "What the hell s that?" Noel wondered out loud, looking to Alice who drew both her blades.
She looked around behind her, "It's Carbuncle! On of the summons that we need." Suddenly a sharp pain went through her body, "This one is bound to us, Noel." SHe added before racing at the creature.
It had razor sharp claws and teeth that glinted whenever the sun hit them. It had a long tail that seemed strong enough to break bones. But despite this terrfying appearance, Alice lunged forward fearlessly, stabbing her sword into it's shoulder blade as she jumped over it. Noel rushed forward afterwards when Alice had been batted away by Carbuncle.

The group came to the streams where they saw a summonstone in the intersection of the streams. When Noel tried to approach it, a white light started to shine from the gem and the Highwind family shielded their arms with their arms and hands as Deist cried, "Whoa!" After the light show ended, the Highwinds looked to see a feral-looking blue creature known as Carbuncle, one of the summons needed to escape from Elekna and it was bound to Noel and Alice. "So this creature is your eidolon, correct?" Kain asked as he and his son drew their spears. Kain ran towards Carbuncle as he tried to jam the pointed sharp tip of the lance at it. Deist jumped high into the air and was trying to come down at it with a spear attack from the sky.

Sazh and rajh lowered their arms slowly as the light subsided and standing before them and the rest of the party was a blue viciouse looking creature. Alice charged the beast immediatly. "Hey wait a sec1 we need to-" Alice was already engaged and being swatted away. Diest was also diving down on top of it while Kain charged it from the front with Noel. "Go left!" Rajh yelled already aiming down the sight of his rifle before fireing rapidly. He aimed for the same joint that Alice had struck. Sazh drew his pistoles and as he charged left, he waited until he had a clear shot before opening up with them. "This is ludicris."

Carbuncle staggered as it had been shot at its injured joint and spears lodged themselves into its torso. It whipped around quickly, using its tail to sweep across the area and throw off all attackers. Alice had just attempted to attack again only to he hit straight into Noel. He grabbed onto the girl's arms, protecting her from the impact of the tree.
Alice looked back as she stood, "Thanks, Noel." She said before diving back into the fight. She slashed across its back until she reached the top of its spine and lodged the second smaller sword into the end of the long backbone.

After jabbing Carbuncle, the beast spun around and threw off the attackers with its tail. The dragoons were flung across the stream as they cried, "Whoa!" "Uhh!" They hit the ground before they heaved themselves up. Deist was about to go back in and attack, but his father stopped him and he said, "Wait Deist, let me try binding Carbuncle first." Kain cast his white magic spell, Hold, on Carbuncle in an attempt to paralyze it.

((heh, JUMP was by far one of the best attackes in any Final fantasy game I have ever played, Eidolins/Aeon summons included.))
"Whoa!" Sazh managed to hit the deck as Carbuncle's tail swopped over him missing by centimeters. Rajh was slower to respond and was hit squarly in the chest by Carbuncle's tail and flung away almost colliding with Kain and Deist as he landed on the ground next to them. "Ugh, ow. That thing packs a punch." he commented rising to his feet a little unsteadily. Sazh had dived straight into the river to avoide hgetting hit, as such he was soaking wet now. He rose to his feet and took aim at Carbuncle again. He needed to find an opening in the thing. he waited as the others began their next array of attacks.

Carbuncle was afflicted by Kain's hold and became paralyzed all over. Alice immediately took the advantage and ran underneath the beast, dragging the larger sword across its stomach. When she ran out form underneath it, she pierced the ground with the smaller knife so she could turn around.
It was nearly over for the eidolon as Noel ran at it from behind Alice. At the last minute, Noel used Alice a a spring board and went soaring over Carbuncle's head and onto its back where he dealt the final blow. The creature wavered and tipped over, finally collapsing to the ground. Slowly, it disintegrated into particles like water vapor. Each particle gathered into one large ball of glowing light that shot forward into Alice.
The girl let out a little shout as the tattoo on her back sudden had wings added to it. Moments later, Alice had seemed to had gotten over the pain and straightened, "I don't remember Carbuncle ever being like that..." She muttered.
((Jump was a beast in FFIV. Too bad Kain kept leaving xD But when it came to DIssidia 012, Kain was the most obnoxious opponent! That's why I usually played as Zidane and Kuja since they were usually fast enough to dodge it. 99% of the time. The other one percent? I was murdered.))
((Also, after tomorrow, I won't be able to get online until wednesday or thursday since I'm on vacation))

After Noel killed Carbuncle and its power went to Alice, who cried out in pain, Deist went over to her in worry and asked, "Are you alright?"

Sazh relaxed as Carbuncle dissolved into water vapor. "Phew what was that about huh?" He asked holstering his Favorite Vega's. Rajh lowered his rifle mode Denebs but didn't put them away just yet. Who knew what else was out there. his rifle was up again the instant that the sphere moved but he was too slow to do anything as it collided with and entered into Alice's body. The girl cried out but only momentarily. "Hey hey-" "you ok?" The brothers were suprisingling sychronized in that split moment as they eexpreseed their united concern for Alice's well being. But the girls actions spoke for her as she stood up apparently over the pain. Sazh sighed and Rajh allowed himself an aumsed huff. "So you mind telling me what that was about?" Sazh said, his voice held a tint of sterness that had not been present until now. Rjah lowered his rifle again and finally seperated it into the pistols before holstering them himself. Unlike Sazh who had his holsters on his legs Rajh's weapons were holstered on his waist like a cowboy.

With a sigh, Alice was rid of the pain and looked around to everyone, "Yeah, I'm okay..." She muttered, looking over her shoulder to see a portion of her expanded tattoo, "I absorbed Cabuncle's soul." She explained shortly, "These summoned beings are bound to the artificial beings and when they are defeated, that being absorbs their spirit." She then looked to Dist and Rajh, "Then said being's soul mark expands."
Noel placed a hand on Alice's shoulder, "Are you sure you're okay?" He asked, "You did get tossed around a bit back there. We should rest."
"No!" Alice exclaimed, pulling back from Noel, "We can't rest! If the scientists find us while we rest, we won't be prepared for a fight!" She looked down at the ground, "Honestly, I'm fine... Please, we need to keep moving."
"You can't expect us to go through this over and over again without rest." Noel protested.
