The sun of this world was hot! It felt like being in the middle of the Ogir Yensa Sandsea. For all he knew, this WAS the Ogir Yensa Sandsea, just a part of it he'd never laid eyes on before. And what were ordinary humes living out like this in the Sandsea? Only the Urutan Yensa were ever seen out in a place like this... Actually, the massive figure of the reptilian Bangaa didn't really care why there were humes, or humans as they were more commonly known, living out here in isolation. Perhaps they had grown bored of living in cities or on the plains, being attacked and ravaged by the monsters that roamed wild all across the face of Ivalice. But surely it would be better off tangling with ordinary fiends rather then having to live as neighbors to the Urutan? A cool breeze blew past that only lasted for a second, since the air around here was humid and sticky, thus turning the cool breeze into a hot one.
Attor, a giant of a Bangaa, green scales and wearing an attire normally found upon monks who trained in martial arts, emerged from a small shadowy alley with a big of a squeeze getting out. The moment the sun hit him, the reptile raised up a large hand and shielded his eyes from the bright rays. As his eyes adjusted, he noticed that he had emerged on a main street of some sort, with humes walking past and going about their lives. Some worn ordinary garments and funny hats while others rode by on horseback wearing much more extravagant clothing and holding their noses high as if they thought themselves better then common folk. That attitude reminded the giant reptile of the humes in Archades and such thoughts made Attor clench his hands into tight fists, the leather straps holding his armoured gauntlets on his hands creaking as they tightened around his wrists.
But getting into a fight wouldn't be a particularly smart thing to do here, especially if these humes had formed an 'alliance' with the Urutan. The green-scaled Bangaa could be overrun in moments. However the urge to resist fighting was growing harder and hard to keep under control, since a small group of humans nearby had stopped to stare at him, whispering to one another while nodding and pointed subtly in his direction. Attor's long ears were pretty sensitive to picking up sounds and he could catch a few words whispered between the men.
"Look at that thing... it's gigantic!"
One man in a neatly wrapped turban and matching robes said who was standing at a stall not too far away which was selling fruit of some kind.
"What is it?"
Another customer to the same stall asked, turning his head towards the stall owner who shrugged his shoulders while speaking.
"No idea... maybe Aladdin knows of it?"
The stall owner said, looking between his two customers before glancing and staring back at Attor again.
"You think it's a monster from outside of Agrabah?"
"I don't think so... wouldn't it have attacked by now?"
Attor narrowed his eyes and seemed slightly bewildered at the name 'Argabah'. Was that were he was now? Such a place didn't exist on Ivalice unless he had stumbled across a long lost city or had ventured out past the charted areas of the map. But after raising his head and glancing both ways down the main street, there wasn't a single other Bangaa to be seen. Several small stalls with brightly coloured awnings, lines of rope reaching from window to window above the street holding varies garments and rugs to be dried in the wind and loads and LOADS of humans. There were other creatures though, mostly horses and strange hairy horses with fat lips and two humps on their backs, but nothing that resembled a Bangaa, Moogle even a Viera. Glancing back towards the three men at a nearby stall, Attor strode over, his footsteps thudding as he walked across the hot sands before coming to a stop next to the stall.
Lifting up the awning so he could fit under, his eyes noticed the odd fruit and he gave a small sniff, trying to detect what they were. All seemed foreign and this only confused the reptile even more. Peering down at the two customers, he gave them a glare and each backed off quickly before leaving the stall, hurrying off down the street and vanishing into the sea of humans. Turning back to the owner, who seemed somewhat nervous nodded his head rather shakily.
"G-g-greetings.. err.. S-sir? How m-may I help y-you?"
The owner said, putting on a brave face and tried to smile.
"The human once ssstanding here mentioned an 'Agrabah'. Sssuch a placcce I have not heard of before. Where on Ivaliccce isss thisss?"
Attor's voice was deep and raspy, as if someone had attacked his vocal chords with some sandpaper.
"What?"
Attor snarled and raised his right hand, thumping the stall before him and causing the table to snap and fall to the ground, all of the fruit following in pursuit.
"Don't make me repeat myssself, hume!! Where on Ivaliccce isss thisss?!!"
He shouted, attracting the attention of several other passerby's now.

First Sabin was enjoying a nice conversation with a hero by the name of Sora, and now he found himself in a massive desert with a single back-woods city. Although the technology was more spot-on with his own world, it still wasn’t his home. He hadn’t see his home in what felt like years, even though it was probably a week or two at best. Sure, it was nice to get out and see some new scenery, but when you fight your hardest for your people and watch them all vanish due to some creatures he’d just learned were called Heartless, you tend to want to check up on things every once and a while.
As the blistering sun pelted him, Sabin took off the tiny article of fabric that passed for a muscle shirt and tied it around his belt. It wasn’t the first time he’d gone shirtless in the blistering sun; he preferred the look in his own castle of Figaro. The bear trained by Duncan walked through the massive city gates and began to walk down the main streets of a town he thought he heard was called Agrabah on his way in. The first beads of sweat cluttered upon his face as he couldn’t happen but overhear someone mention a giant creature pass through the town. Was this a monster, or another one of those Heartless creatures?
He kept up a brisk pace until he heard the creature shout something at a man who was obviously terrified from the sounds of it. As he rounded the corner he saw a gargantuan creature staring a shop owner in the marketplace in the eye. So, it was a monster, after all. Sabin kept up a casual pace as he walked over, but he couldn’t help but notice the lizard-man seemed to grow larger with each step he took. Size meant nothing to Sabin. He’d once single-handedly held a building up so citizens could escape after Kefka’s Judgement Bolt crashed through it, so taking on tall, dark, and gruesome couldn’t be that big of a challenge, right? He probably wasn’t right this time as he placed his large hand on the creature’s shoulder, which happened to be above his own hairline.
”Don’t you lizard guys like hiding under rocks or something? I’m sure I can find some nice snake food around here somewhere.”[/b]
Yeah, he had no idea what he’d just gotten himself into, but Sabin thought Duncan’s teaching enabled him to take on foes of any shape or size. He had defeated not only the god, Kefka, but the Warring Triad that he stole his powers from. He was pretty sure that this Geico mascot-in-training wouldn’t be too much of a challenge if it came to a fight. He’d settle this pretty quick and get his opponent back on the bottle of a local Sobe drink.

Agrabah seemed hesitant to want to change it's weather cycle and the blistering heat from the sun continued to shine down upon the desert and it's city without mercy. However a large majority of the civilians and residents of this world still worn their long robes and turbans upon their heads, seemingly unaffected by the heat. Attor the Bangaa was reptilian and thus scales covered his body, not skin or flesh. As a result, he didn't have many places for sweat glands to be which meant he was getting pretty hot, pretty fast. It wasn't too bad since he had raised the bright red awning of the stall he was standing beside which was offering some shade. It wasn't like he'd die if staying out in the sun all day, the Royal City of Rambanastre and even Archades had plenty of sunshine. It was just a little uncomfortable not being able to sweat to cool off. So the Bangaa would have to find other alternatives, but there was still the issue of dealing with this merchant.
"I-Ivalice? I-I've never heard of such a place..."
The stall owner said, his hands raised before himself and shaking rather uncontrollably. He was probably used to the Heartless and being about to ran away from them, but when confronted with a reptile as massive as Attor was, it was understandable. Especially now since the Bangaa had reached forwards with an arm and grasped the merchant's shirt, lifting him easily off the ground before bringing his face to within an inch of his own.
"I do not take kindly to you humesss playing gamesss on me!! But..."
The Bangaa sniffs the air around the merchant a couple of times and then slowly placed him back on the ground, staring at him intensely.
"You ssseem to be telling the truth... Ssso... I am not longer on Iva--"
Attor was cut off when he felt something upon his shoulder. Turning his head, the green-scaled Bangaa saw nothing, until he glanced down and saw a short haired man standing next to him. Raising up one of his arms of to remove the awning from over his head, Attor turned himself around with a couple heavy footsteps so he was facing this new hume, peering down at him with another intense stare. Now, he didn't mind the physcial contact, nor that a hume was speaking to him and also offered to help find food, whatever this 'snake-food' was anyway, but there was one tiny little word used in that sentence, that shouldn't have been.
Calmly and slowly, Attor raised up one of his huge hands and crossed it over his body before brushing the humes hand off his shoulder. Instantly after doing so, Attor flexed his knees and clenched his right hand into a huge fist before throwing out a punch with as much strength as he could muster, aiming a crushing blow straight for the humes stomach, with intentions of knocking him into the air, across the street and into a stall not far away.
"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!!!!"
Attor screamed, his deep and raspy voice echoing throughout Argabah which caused a massive headcount to stop and look in his direction. The Bangaa didn't notice though. All he could see was red and all he wanted to do right now was to pound this foolish humans head into a fine paste! Raising his massive fists before himself, he punched his armoured gauntlets together, sending a loud crack throughout the area before starting to move forwards towards the human. Attor's massive feet thumped upon the ground as he moved, sending up tiny cloud of sand as he did so.

Apparently, it is, in fact, a horrible idea to call a lizard man a lizard man. A few things happened in the next few seconds that both made his day and hurt like hell. First, the giant lizard-thingy-ma-bob moved the bear’s hand from his shoulder. But that wasn’t the thing that hurt like hell. His next act was to send a swift fist directly into Sabin’s stomach. He barely had time to flex his abs in an attempt to soften the blow, but that didn’t stop him from landing in a nearby fruit stand. The moment he landed, the pile of various melons and imported fruit began to cave in around him.
He couldn’t help but to let out one of his signature booming fits of laughter as he stood up. He was a little relieved that this gecko-monster-thing wasn’t the pushover he believed it to be. He couldn’t help but notice the freight train that was the lizard man crashing toward him. I should probably not let him hit me again.[/i] His impressive size was matched with the strength of his blow; Dyne could still feel the burn of the blow on his abdomen.
Sabin immediately took off in an impressive speed for his size, ready to unleash one of his master’s famous Blitz techniques. He underwent years of training to be gifted with a power such as this; he could now manipulate the body’s energy into various attacks and throws. He would use the one of the most simple of these techniques when he got in close range to the beast. Each step was a bound of about five feet per leap.
As he finally got within striking range, instead of actually throwing a punch, Sabin decided to grab the beast’s hands in a test of strength with the creature. With both hands now clenched with the beast’s overtop of his head, but probably on level with the monster’s eyes. He began to press with all of his might towards the creature. He wasn’t about to let his own strength be seen as second rate, not with all these people watching.
When he was done proving his own strength, he slipped free of the hold and slid around to the creature’s backside. He immediately wrapped his arms around the massive beast and simply leaped into the air. Normally, he’d be able to jump over fifty feet in the air, but, sadly, the creature’s weight kept him from going any higher than twenty-five feet. Once he hit the top of his jump, he turned and turned to crash towards the ground head-first, with the creature hitting to soften Sabin’s own blow.
This might just be a battle of epic proportions pitting the bear of Figaro Castle against Godzilla super lizard man.

Attor the Bangaa let out a dangerous sounding, snake-like hiss after he watched the foolish human crash into a fruit stand not far away. The mortal seemed to have enjoyed the moment though as he began to laugh when getting back up to his feet. This was certainly interesting to experience. 9 out of 10 humans who had experienced Attor's fists were either rendered unconscious from the fist blow or struggled to get up before staggered away in fear of receiving a second. To watch this man get back to his feet while laughing, though showing subtle signs that he took damage, would have impressed the green Bangaa, but due to that single word that left the humans lips just a moment ago, there was nothing else within Attor's mind other then wanting to wipe that smile from his lips and leave him in a pool of his own blood.
Peering down after feeling something hit his foot, the giant reptile bent down and picked up a watermelon within one hand that had rolled from the stall. Extending his arm before himself, showing the large green fruit to the human, Attor clenched his hand into a fist and watched as the watermelon exploded with a loud 'squelch' from the pressure. Shaking his hand off, he threw his fist forwards and pointed a sharp clawed finger in Sabin's direction.
"The sssame ssshall happen to your head if you let me get clossse, human!!!"
Flexing his knees a fraction, Attor's eyed widened slightly at the sheer speed at which the male used to close the gap between them once more. He was fast! Undoubtedly faster then he was. Watching carefully, his bright green reptilian eyes focusing, Attor threw one fist out to try and swat the human away, but found himself in a test of strength instead. Digging his heels into the sand slightly, the green-scaled Bangaa threw out his other fist and caught Sabin's so they both could use their entire upper body strength.
This human was strong!! Incredibly so as Attor found himself being pushed backwards. What was this guy made of? Not wanting to be beaten, the giant reptile curled his hands into fists, attempting to crush Sabin's hands as if they were apples. Letting out another snake-like hiss, the Dark Monk released his grip with his right hand before raising his fist up. Swinging his arm around in a hooking punch, wanting to send the human flying again, Attor blinked in sudden confusion when the human seemed to vanish, slipping free of his grip and spinning around his body. Without time to turn and react, the Bangaa felt a tight squeeze around his waist before experience a rather nice breeze upon his face. The reptile's eyes widened when he peered down and noticed he was a fair distance up in the air as well, the human still grabbing him from behind. Before he was able to lash out his tail to try and flick the human away, the world went upside down before the reptile came crashing to the ground with a massive impact, a huge sand cloud kicking up from the meteor-like impact.
Laying still for a moment, eyes closed but still breathing, Attor just let out a small chuckle of his own before rolling back onto his shoulders and with a push of his arms, nipped back up to his feet with a thud. Raising a large arm up, he placed a scaly hand onto the back of his neck before tilting his head to the right and left, allowing a loud and very welcomed crack to echo about the main street.
"Not bad human... You're the firssst to have ever picked me up!"
Flexing his knees and redirecting his strength into his legs, Attor jumped out the small crater he made and glanced around to try and spot the human. A lot of space had been created when all the civilians had moved away the moment the fight broke out. Should be plenty of room to humiliate this guy in. If he could prove a worthy opponent, the Bangaa might spare him from death.

”It looks like I’ll be the first to do a lot of things today.” [/b] Sabin wasn’t having any problems dealing with the massive lizard so far. Sure, he hit like the Phantom Train, but it wasn’t anything he couldn’t handle, or at least he hoped. The sting of the creature’s first blow still rang throughout his head, but he couldn’t help but hope that his suplex had done equal damage, even if he didn’t look like he had been scratched. Therefore, the mental advantage went to tall, dark, and scaly. Sabin cocked himself in his traditional fighting stance as slowly made his way towards the creature who wouldn’t look out of place as a garbage disposal on the Flintstones. He didn’t’ really have to worry about civilians now, as most of them had either fled or back up way out of the way. He could unleash the full force of Duncan’s training if he wanted to, and he did. He couldn’t let this drag on, at least if he didn’t want people to get hurt. It didn’t matter how much space they gave him, it wouldn’t be enough if he was forced to rely on some of his more powerful techniques. The heat was also starting to get to him. Not only was it extremely dry and hot, but the lack of moisture in the air, almost forced his body to exhale water in the form of sweat. Although, even though he had no clue as to the creature’s biology, most lizards hate repeated exposure to the sun. Sabin thought he had the advantage on this front, mostly because he was used to life in the desert as a former prince of Figaro Castle. He could take extended exposure to the heat, he’d done it every day until his dad died. ”You ready for round two?”[/b] Sabin charged in full force, and, when he came within range, he turned and delivered a potential spinning back fist towards the creature. He then kept the turn up with a second attempt, with his other arm, as he finished the rotation to face the creature. He then finished his combo with a massive rising uppercut that he threw with enough force to actually life himself off the ground towards the creature’s jaw. He couldn’t see whether it hit or not, but he hoped his physical combination was enough for the knockout. With that, the proverbial bell rung to start the second round of combat between two titan masters of martial arts.[/blockquote][/size] |
