They didn't fight Marietta by choice, she assumed they were there to start Ragnarok and attacked them. Which was why Ness had to come rescue them, and why Celina (yes, it was her) eventually had to come in and yell at everyone.

Yes, Emilia is alive, although she almost died in that fight (which was why Gulcasa went nuts on them at the Arc of Triumph), but I couldn't figure out a way to save Baldus. The guy is just too dead set on not letting you through unless it's literally over his dead body. :< I like Baldus...

And the temple referenced in the Ness explanation is the Great Temple, so...

[Megaolix]

... Well, that still don't answer me about Eudy. Did she got as lucky as Kylier or did she die?

[Ryu2]

I hate Eudy. I hope she got blown to itsy bitsy bite sized pieces.

[Megaolix]

What?!?! I know she always go to the rear lines to shoot you with cannons, but she can't be that bad, right?

My point is that they're not going to stop writing crappy fanfiction if you only put the restriction on pieces of work which are interesting.

[Dr Strum]

You missed the if-clause.

[Raijinili]

That's not what I missed.

You said that writing interesting stories would require more creativity. Key word being "interesting". Crappy writers can still write crappy fanfiction with the restriction, and not be interesting, and they wouldn't be any more creative.

Well, people, chapter 3 is done, but since I just put the story up on FF.Net, you'll have to start reading the chapters there rather than looking at the topic.

And no, Eudy didn't live either. It was a smaller explosion, but she was still sitting right next to the Ankh, whereas Kylier had Al in the way to shield her.

[Megaolix]

Feral, I would like to read the new chapter, but only the first one is posted at FF.net.

When will the 2 others be added?

[Feral Phoenix]

When I have the time. :P It will be a while.

[Suzu Fujibayashi]

You lazy bum. :P
Telling us it's out, then saying it's isn't. BAIT AND SWITCH! D<

[Feral Phoenix]

If I had home Internet or if this stupid computer didn't block FF.Net, I'd have chapter 2 up there already.

I'll start to post the beginning of 3, but somehow I doubt I'll get it all done (in three minutes 'cuz that's all I really have). This chapter basically got eaten by Roswell being emo, anyway.

-------------------------------------------------------

When Yggdra and Durant got to the bar, the queen was able to spot Roswell instantly. Whereas almost everyone else in the room was crowded around the circular tables in groups, talking and laughing and toasting the health of the as-yet successful negotiations amongst themselves, the Lord of the Black Rose sat at the mostly-deserted bar itself, slumped dejectedly with his back to the door and his only companions a tall crystal goblet and a half-empty bottle of deep red wine.

“Oh, dear…”

“Sir Durant, you’re finally back…? Thank the gods.”

Yggdra turned to see that she and her champion had been joined by one of Roswell’s necromancer countrymen. This one was slightly older than his lord, still dressed in his heavy ceremonial robes due to the lower temperature of the room, with his bone-white hair pulled back over his shoulders and his ruby-colored eyes anxious.

“Please… what happened here…?” Yggdra asked worriedly, pointing to Roswell where he sat.

The necromancer shook his head helplessly. “All I know is that milord got in an argument with Lady Rosary earlier today. He’s usually a little moody every time he and milady have one of their little marital spats, but it’s never been this bad before. Lord Roswell is a sensitive man, but he’s definitely not one to try to drown his troubles in the bottle. He’s always had more sense than that.”

“I wouldn’t have expected him to do something like this either,” Durant admitted, placing his hands on his hips and staring over at the younger man. “Not with his tolerance to alcohol, if it can be called that.”

“Lord Roswell isn’t as open about his emotions as he should be,” the necromancer said, “and he won’t talk to any of us, but surely you can get him to explain, Your Majesty. He trusts you in a way that he doesn’t trust anyone else. Please, do something…”

“I’ll try my best,” Yggdra pledged. “I just hope I can get through to him so he’ll stop. This really isn’t good for him, or anyone…”

Nodding to her knight and Roswell’s worried comrade, Yggdra slowly wove her way though the crowd, trying to plan what she should say. Would it be better to just engage Roswell in some other topic of conversation and veer him towards the subject of his argument with Rosary, or to confront him straight off? Would he be willing to say anything to her either way, even if she appealed to his better sensibilities? She’d never even seen Roswell drunk before, so she wasn’t sure if she should prepare for outbursts of violence or severe depression. All she knew was that she had to do something…

But as she slid onto the barstool beside Roswell’s and got a good look at his face, all her half-formed plans flew right out of her head.

“Oh, Roswell…” she groaned despairingly, reaching out to stroke his hair.

Look interesting, but something troubles me...

Marietta attacked them first? Unless the Royal Army did something wrong, I don't think there's a way she would have attacked them first.

She jumped to conclusions, basically. It was more like she just went, "OMG you came here on Ancardia, which belongs to that evil person Nessiah, and you have weapons powerful enough to kill angels! You have to be evil!", then attacked them, and there was nothing much Yggdra's party could do to stop her. Even when Nessiah got there, all he was able to do was hold her off.

So Marietta basically just ended up getting her hand slapped by Celina when she got there, and the story progressed as it does in Ending A.

Chapter 3 will get put up on FF.Net sometime this week, i.e. as soon as I get the chance. It may be a while. I'm starting to write Chapter 4 now.
