After the sun had set and the campfire lit, the girls emerge from the boat wearing what looks like greek togas which are mostly white, except for a sash which represents the respective colors of their respective elements; Palledoris wearing more adornments including one of those greek-looking olive leaf tiaras.
They each take positions on the side of the pentagram with the torches. Palledoris asks THRAX to take the center position for the ceremony. Not seeing any harm in doing so, THRAX agrees and stands where Palledoris directs. TRITHAL and CHRIS sit down in lawn chairs to the side of the whole thing and watch as Aelle steps forward inside the pentagram and kneels before Palledoris and THRAX.
Palledoris: "Aelle, daughter of Kanami; you have come before your peers tonight to declare your intent to be recognized as a Saibotan Wizard in the eyes of our Lord Xanatos. Are you prepared to face a trial by fire?"
Aelle: "I, Aelle, daughter of Kanami, swear my continued allegance to Lord Xanatos and the Saibot Clan. For ten years I have served as the pathway of the force of the Dragon of Air. Now I will prove before my sisters (plus Trithal, Chris, and Lord Thrax) that I can now envoke the divine power of the Air Flame on my own. I am prepared to face my challenger."
Palledoris: "Let the Rite of Ascention begin!"
*cue kickass ceremonial fight music*
While all of this is going on, TRITHAL opens his storage portal on pulls out his Hooka. After loading the bowl and tokin up a little, he offers some to CHRIS.
CHRIS: "No thanks, yo. It's not the same unless I grow it myself...(local cop walks by)..Oh shit! Put that out right now! I ain't goin to jail because you just HAD to smoke it up!!"
TRITHAL: "What happened to all that talk earlier about wanting to get fried with THRAX?"
CHRIS: "That was just a joke, dude! It's just like when I suck THRAX's dick! I'm just playing around! It's not serious!"
TRITHAL: "You really actually sucked THRAX's dick? Dude! We all thought you were a gay-ass, but not actually to the degree of Evan!"
CHRIS: "I'm not gay! I just used to experiment occasionally! Everyone does when they are young!"
TRITHAL: "No, I think it's just you."
THRAX: "Would you two shut the fuck up!?! We have a rite to perform here! You can bullshit all you want later! If you want to insist on continuing your pointless conversation, do so elsewhere! Damn!"
Aelle stands up and faces away from Palledoris and the others. At the same time, Palledoris, Anri, Alys, Danika and Rishna begin to chant some spell in the Saibotian language. As they are doing this, their power builds to where each of their eyes glow their respective elemenatal colors. The winds pick up and swirl around a bit, and a giant cloud of thunder materializes overhead. As the whole thing grows larger and fiercer, TRITHAL and CHRIS start to consider finding shelter somewhere. Aelle still stands in the middle of the pentagram facing outward as the winds and rain whip about her.
After a few minutes of this, a huge thunder demon appears before Aelle. This thing kinda looks like the firey beast Gandalf fought in the first Lord of the Rings movie... only instead of being made of fire, this one is made of thunder.
demon: "WHO DISTURBS ME?"
Aelle: "I am Aelle of the order of the Saibot. In the name of Xanatos, I shall slay you!"
BATTLE MODE ON
Aelle (LV 24; 96/96 HP; 100/100 SP; 2723 EXP)
Thunder Demon Gwarlihim: "I have been summoned by hundreds of you wanna-bes. All have failed! You will be no different!"
Gwarlihim charges his power until he is radiating lightning from every pore. Aelle charges her power until her eyes are glowing blue. Gwarlihim throws a lighting bolt at Aelle about the width of CHRIS' penis, which isn't very wide at all. Be that as it may, due to her thunder weakness, she is knocked backward to the very edge of the circle. Aelle loses 11hp.
Aelle uses 25 SP and casts GALE FORCE which slams the demon into the center of the pentagram. Gwarlihim loses 163/1500 HP.
Gwarlihim throws a spark orb at Aelle. Aelle manages to dodge that attack. She loses no HP.
Aelle uses 30 sp and casts DAGGER STORM. Demon loses 307/1337
Demon casts Thunder Slam. Aelle loses 30/85 HP.
Aelle uses her wind powers to propel herself into the air then falls onto the demon and thrusts her short dagger into the beast. A large crack appears in her dagger. Gwarlihim loses 130/1030 HP.. Aelle uses 5/45 SP.
TRITHAL (in a very baked voice): "Aelle's getting her ass kicked, man!"
Aelle: "Keep quite Tsutaru! I'm trying to focus here!"
Gwarlihim attempts a physical attack on Aelle, but she manages to parry and then counter. Demon loses 100/900 HP. Aelle loses no HP. Unfortunately, that counter-attack with her dagger caused her dagger to completely shatter.
Aelle, in an attempt to finish this as quickly as possible, channels all her remaining strength and sp for an all-out attack and casts CAT6. Thick, black clouds surround Gwarlihim and his entire body is twisted and contorted by violent winds. All of his limbs are torn completely off and his torso is crushed. Gwarlihim loses 790/800hp. Aelle uses all of her remaining SP and 35/50 HP.
Gwarlihim: "How can this be? Defeated, after all these centuries, by the likes of you!!
TRITHAL (still in a baked voice): "Hurry, Aelle! Before he regenerates! Finish him!"
Aelle walks up to the beast and procedes to melee him with what is left of her short dagger. The demon loses 11/10 hp. Gwarlihim is dead.
BATTLE MODE OFF
*cue ceremonial victory music*
CHRIS: "If I were in there, I would have used my Archangel friends and kicked his ass!"
THRAX: "CHRIS, you have no angelic friends! Besides, the point of this was to fight alone. Good job Aelle!"
Aelle kneels before Palledoris and THRAX again.
Palledoris: "Aelle, you have defeated Gwarlihim of the Thunder Demons using your own air powers. You have completed the Rite of Ascention."
Palledoris approaches Aelle where she is knelt and places one of those olive leaf tiaras on her head.
Palledoris: "Arise, Aelle of the Air Flame!"
As Aelle stands up, the rest of the party applauds while the Saibot chicks cheer 'Hail Xanatos!'
As the whole ceremony thing wraps up, the party eats, bullshits for a while, and they each find a spot near the campfire to curl up and sleep. It's just about midnight.
