Noel had his face buried in his pillow that smelled of stale perfume that he figured was Lebraeu's special touch to it. He felt the young boy prod his limp body and let out a soft groan. Once he pushed himself up, Noel realized who had woken him up and sighed, "Alright, try to get some sleep." He began as he walked out of the room, "You're definitely going to need it." The older boy sat outside on the front steps and leaned against the wooden railing. He slowly became distracted by the ocean waves lapping onto the shores and watched them carefully; his heartbeat slowing to their pace as his whole body relaxed.

Deist nodded and went to sleep on the couch in the living room since all the beds were taken by the Katzroy brothers and Kreiss siblings. His father was on the only couch in Serah's room. Deist laid on the couch and closed his eyes to sleep.

((Today is what? August 13? It looks like we haven't gone anywhere since August 8. Does anybody want to time-skip to the Leviathan battle?))

Noel remained on the front porch and tried his best to remain alert and stay awake. Slowly, he felt himself growing tired and looked back at a clock. It had only been fourty-five minutes and he had a small portion of his shift yet. However, the fight against himself drifting into unconsciousness and fell sideways across the porch. He was still awake but his eyelids were so heavy that they had fallen over his ice blue eyes.

Rajh woke up early for his shift, not that he was all that asleep to begin with. He had been tossing and turning uncomforatably since laying down in the bed. In the end he concluded to just get up and relieve Noel of his duty. Sitting up and stretching Rajh let out a mighty yawn before getting up good and proper. he strapped on his denebs and went out to the porch to find Noel half awake on the floor. For a moment the light of the moon made it seem like Noel was bleeding and worry struck Rajh but once he got close he saw that it was just the boys shadow. "Hey Noel, get up. I'll take over from here." he said giving the boy a gentle shake.
Marcucio was forcing his way through the forest. Alice's 'homing beacon' was what had brought the scientist there. He had tweaked the glyph so that Rajh would be convinced that he was real. His objective was to confuse the subject and eventually convince Sazh that this land was his real home. Marcucio decided to follow up on the subjects progress to see if there was any indication of Sazh wanting to stay put, he wasn't expecting much after one day though. Marcucio arrived at the forest edge and spotted the house, on the porch were two people one of which appeared to be the subject's fake relative. MNarcucio stood just back from the forest edge and procceeded with his observations. One thing he noticed was that the waves on teh beach had grown steadily more fierce in the short time after his arrival.

Noel jolted awake as Rajh shook him and he sat up slowly, "What? Oh, right." He pushed himself up to his feet and lifted a hand up as he passed Rajh, "See you in the morning, then." He said as he went back into his room that he shared with Alice. She was still sound asleep in her bed but something seemed to be troubling her as if there was a nightmare of some sort. However, Noel had picked Alice as being a person that would never want to be woken up no matter what so he laid down on his bed and immediately dozed off.

((No matter which version I looked at Leviathan comes off as massively OP'd so I think it would be best to limit it's use. Thus far I've brainstormed a couple possiblities. A) Only summoning him in bodies of water actually large enough to hold him...like at least a moderate lake similar to Old Bodhum. B) Limiting the number of times summoned to say just once or twice a day but not being restricted by location. I'm inclined towards option 'B' since allows me to deploy where ever he is needed most but I would like to hear your opinions on this matter as well.))
Rajh watched the forest and beach quietly on the porch, the day's events racing through his mind. Their escape from the temple the encounter with the scientist and the battle with Carbuncle. Rajh was just outside leaning against the wall lost in his thoughts and watching the waves. They seemed...larger than the calm waters that morning but Rajh took no note of them. Macucio in the meantime decided it was time to give himself a personal introduction. Stepping out into the moonlight he gave a wave to Rajh who immediately had his hands on the Denebs the moment he saw Marcucio. "Who are you!?" Rajh said challenging Marcucio good and loud in the hopes of waking up the others.
"My name is Marcucio Drakonis. Subject Rajh, we really need for you to return Subject Sazh back to us." Marcucio said calmly to Rajh. Inside Sazh had awoken to to Rajh's words. "Uuhh..." He groaned as he got up, still sleepy. Sazh heard voices outside, and didn't hesitate in grabbing his Vegas. "Guys, get up! I think some one is here!" He said loudly to the others as he made for the front door. Once there he spotted Marcucio out on the beach. "Ah there he is, Sazh we have not finished our work with you." "Sazh is coming home with me." Rajh was clearly teed but still calm. Marcucio smirked, the false sibling was playing it's role perfectly. "Heh heh, just how much does Sazh remember of his home I wonder." "I know enough to know that this world isn't it." Marcucio flashed a smirk. Sazh wasn't accepting the world but it had only been one day. "Such a pity, if you had allowed us to continue your memories would still be intact but as it is I doubt you will ever get them back now." Marcucio said with a touch of sarcastic care. The waves on the beach were now clearly past the point of high tide and growing increasingly more violent. From the deapths a light began to shine and it grew steadily brighter as the waves became steadily more violent. "Ah I think we have an uninvited guest."

((Well, in the original roleplay, the summons were only used as a last resort type of thing so we never restricted locations. They were rarely used because of the user would be nearly completely drained of energy after using it depending on the amount of time they remained in that form."
Hearing the muffled shouts from Sazh, Alice's eyes slowly opened to Noel as he got up out of his bed and retrieved his two weapons resting against the wall. He tossed Alice's weapons over to her and she caught them, now wide-eyes and ready to go. She jumped from her bed and followed Noel outside where they were met face-to-face with a face very familiar to Alice. "Marcucio!" She shouted, "What are you doing here." Alice growled after wards as she readied her weapons for a fight.
"You know him?" Noel wondered but them thought to himself 'Of course she does, she used to be a scientist...' He then looked up to the water and saw the tide coming in much closer than that which was natural. "Alice, what is that?" He asked her calmly.
She looked over momentarily then searched her brain through the names of the summonstone creatures. "Leviathan..." She muttered, "That's bad; we've got Marcucio and a high powered summonstone..." She informed in a hushed tone, not taking her eyes off the scientist.

((Sorry about the long wait, mom called me to dinner at the beginning of me making my post.))
Kain woke up to the shout of Sazh's voice. He assumed that Rajh must have discovered a scientist. Kain got off of the bedroom's couch and picked up his lance which was leaning against the wall. After Noel and Alice joined them, they went into the living room where Kain shook his son and said, "Deist, wake up. I think we might be under attack from the scientists." "Whu-uh..." Deist moaned as he groggily woke up to see his father standing next to him. "Get up, now," Kain told him. After Deist's brain recollected the words and made the younger dragoon understand the situation, Deist jolt off the couch and said, "Oh right, the scientist! Alright, let's go kick some butt!" He grabbed his lance off the floor and followed the others outside to the beach to see Marcucio the scientist. Soon, a strong tide came towards them and the Highwinds stood in their tracks shocked. "Oh my gods!" Deist said in awe. When Alice said that Leviathan was there, Kain asked, "Leviathan? You mean the eidolon king?"

((Brown comes up better))
Marcucio shared a warm smile to Alice. Hello Alice, it's nice to see you." The wards sounded forced as they left Marcucio's mouth. He ansered Alices question non-chelantly as the waves began to gain some real hight. "Tsk tsk Alice you should know my answer to that question by now." Marcucio meandered away from the rising waterline to the forest as he spoke. "I'm making progress reports." It was Marcucio's answer to nearly every question that was similar to 'what are you doing?'
Marcucio noted Alices stare and gave a final smirk. "Should you really be stareing? Not only is it rude but you should know by now what tends to happen when a host and summonstone come into close proximity. Wouldn't want you going blind." He warned Alice before closing his eyes. Almost immediatly after there was a blinding flash. Once the light subsided Marcucio was gone, replaced by rumbling coming from the lake.
Sazh and Rajh had watched Marcucio closly until kain and his son came out. Kain had asked if Alice really meant Leviathan the Eidolin king and sazh asked instinctively, "Eidolins have a king!?" Thenew was quit shocking. Sazh and Rajh shielded their eyes once the summonstone flashed and opening them again the saw the water start to swell quite severaly. The swell was heading striaght for them, followed by an enormis wave. The swell seemed to stop just short of where the beach normally started and teh wave rushed past it and towards the house. "Hold onto something guys!" Rjah shouted as he grabbed the railing.

Alice shielded her eyes from the blinding light and as it began to subside, Marcucio was gone. The girl immediately jumped forward with a growl, "Dammit, Marcucio come back here you coward!" She called, trying to taunt him into coming back. Alice was completely out of her mind; she wanted the scientist to come back for a fight but not too far away, the eidolon king was present as waves washed over Alice's feet.
Her brother had held onto a high bar on the porch but saw Alice still standing as if she was completely oblivious to the coming waves. "Alice, get out of the way now!" He yelled. Alice turned to see the wave. She quickly judged the space between her, the wave, and the house and decided she wouldn't have enough time. However, by running now, she could avoid broken bones and serious damage to her body so she broke out into a run for the house. As she came closer though, the wave reached over her head and came crashing down. "Alice!"

Sazh and Rajh watched as the wave came crashing down on Alice. The sand had been disturbed making the water too murky to see through. There was a screech and Leviathan rose up out of the water. For a moment it seemed as though the world stood still, and aside from the pattering of falling water there was no more sound. Sazh in this moment took control. "Let's get it in gear! Rajh Noel find Alice! Deist Kain we'll hold that thing off until the other can join us. Enthunder!" Sazh said leaping down the stairs. He cracked off the spell empowering Dist and Kain's weapons with the thunder element. Rajh lead the way into the residing waters to start the Search for Alice. "Let's go Noel" He called back to the boy.
((I love the empower spells ^_^ By far my favorites.))

((I used them in pretty much every fight. Except Noel was such a slow caster and I'm like FFFF NOEL))
Once the wave crashed on Alice, Sazh began shouting out commands. Noel was thankful for this as his sister had just been taking under by a wave and he didn't have perfect judgment skills in times like this. He ran after Rajh and looked out towards the ocean, making sure she didn't get dragged out that far. Suddenly, he heard a round of coughing. It was faint but was the cough of someone who was hanging on. Noel looked at the water's edge when Alice was on her hands and knees.
"Alice! Are you okay?" He asked as he approached his sister, placing a hand on her back. Alice nodded and slowly pushed herself up, stumbling back into the waters a little but Noel steadied her. "Take it easy." He then looked over at Rajh, "Rajh, I've got her!"
She stepped out of the water and shook her arms, "I'm absolutely soaked." Alice twisted the water out of her hair and looked around. "My weapons... Where are they?" She asked in a panic as Leviathan roared loudly. Noel saw them floating not too far off shore and gave a quick glance to her. He dove into the water and quickly swam the short distance, throwing the weapons towards her and she caught them. "Thanks, Noel!" She shouted before turning towards Leviathan and racing to help the others. Noel began the swim back to shore.

((Ah damn! This is what happens when you have to spend a lot of time at college. I have like 13 credits, which means 13 hours per week. But luckily, I have a day off on Friday.))
Kain looked at his son and said, "Deist, get to the roof now!" "I'm on it," the boy replied. The Highwinds jumped the roof of the Nora House, where they would be safe from Leviathan's tidal wave. They looked down and saw that Alice had been unfortunate to get caught in the wave. "No!" Deist shouted loudly while his father had a horrified look on his face. Soon, Leviathan appeared out of the ocean with a roar. "That's Leviathan alright, but definitely not the one we know of in our world," said Kain as he observed the summoned beast's appearance and took note of the differences between this Leviathan and the eidolon king. "Yeah, no doubt about it," said Deist. Then Kain, Deist, and Sazh went to fight Leviathan, while Noel and Rajh went to look for Alice. After Sazh imbued their weapons with electricity, the dragoons jumped from the roof and tried to stab down on Leviathan.
