Speaking as someone who beat FFX just a few days ago (Auron!), beating Sin, Jecht, and others is SIMPLE. Anima's attack. [i]Not[/i] Pain. [i]Not[/i] Overdrive. Just attack with him. That way you avoid nasty side effects, and the like. The way I pulled it all off? Anima attacked all parts of Sin, then I used Bahamut on Jecht's first form and when Bahamut dropped, I let Anima finish Jecht off. My total time for all the final bosses was less than 20 minutes. Not a cheap shot. If it was, they should have never put Anima in as an usable Aeon in the first place. *grin*

Um, truth be known, I have no idea who Malik is, I just know his Yami's evil. "Can't sleep...Yami Bakura'll eat me...can't sleep...Yami Bakura'll eat me..."

*pats nice Bakura on head, pulls hand away from evil Yami Bakura* I always thought that Bakura and Pegasus' eyes were the same color, which is that doe-y brown color. [i]Pwetty.[/i]

*nudges her to one side* You can have Yami Kaiba, I'll take Seto Kaiba. :love: his cloak! And I've seen the odd green haired Kaiba...looks quite creepy. In fact, he looks a LOT like Ichijouji Ken! (same outfit)

Well, this started out as a Digimon, but it's more than that now. Tsunamas, the Sapphire Warrior. (Critiques and comments welcome--just remember this piccie is a WIP--I hope to get the finished project up later. (smaller version) [url]http://www.otakuboards.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=265568[/url]

Oh, about Bakura--with his Yami being a tomb robber, he's been stuck with one [i][b]evil[/b][/i] fella. You won't believe some of the junk I've heard that he does in the manga. *curls up and hugs pillow tight* Can't sleep, Yami Bakura'll eat me...can't sleep, Yami Bakura'll eat me...o_O; SPOILER Yami Malik is MUCH worse. In one duel, he tricks Mai into thinking that she is killing one friend for every monster she destroys. He also takes over Joey's mind for awhile, and nearly gets him to kill Yugi. And, oh yes, Yami Bakura prefers his meat...*cough* extremely rare. Alive. Let's just say he was [i]really[/i] enjoying getting Pegasus' eye in the manga. *shudders* Can't sleep, Yami Bakura'll eat me...can't sleep, Yami Bakura'll eat me...

I know it seems almost impossible to take down this "monstrosity", but check out how many life points it'll take down with it when it does. Oy. Mesa prefer the Blue Eyes Toon Dragon myself, for some [i]odd[/i] reason. *said Dragon hisses in his creepy little way*

Anyways, the season they are showing in English on KidsWB right now [i]is[/i] the 2nd season. The first was never released here in America due to the fact that it was too violent and had little to do with the card game itself.

:therock: It was a joke. Anyways, I've only seen Yami Bakura that one time. He didn't exactly turn into Mr. Psycho when they saw Pegasus at the castle. Do the Millinnium Items all have to do with stealing souls? The Eye and Ring seem to, while Yami Yugi just seems to yank them out and send them elsewhere--at the least the bad ones. And if everyone that has a Millinnium Item also has a Yami, does that mean we are seeing Pegasus--or "Yami Pegasus"?

Me leaving...yeah, it may be part of the reason why I've been so upset lately... love you too, sis.

It helps to know that I'm not alone in my feelings. Thank you [b]all[/b] so much, your help and friendship have made my getting out of this emotional pit a lot easier. I'll still go talk to someone, but I'm on the up and up.

That'd be funky.... Some Guy: Let's duel! Yugi: OK....*tranforms* Yami Bakura: BAUGH! :demon: *sucks everyone's souls into their favorite cards* DarkYugician: Ugh, Bakura, not [i]again![/i] ChangeofBakura: ...oops... Bakura's up to something...besides, since his Ring points to other Milliennium Items, would he purposely go find the Items and let himself get turned into Yami Bakura? :cross: Teh, maybe that was a one time only thing? I dunno....*wanders off*

Thank you, everyone--it helps to know that I am not alone in my feelings. One question: since I've withdrawn from most everything, how soon till I go back "to normal"? I wish I could talk to my mom, but she just blows it off; I'd be embarrassed to talk to my old pastor because, heh, I don't want him to think I'm, well, a sad and depressed little creature; I do need to talk to [i]someone[/i] educated in this "cheerful" field, though. Posting this has helped a lot, thank you all!

Does anyone else think that Bakura and Pegasus are related? *cringes, reminding everyone she's still a bit of a Yu-Gi-Oh newbie* I remember that eppie with, erhm, I guess...do you call the Spirits Yamis? Like Yami Yugi? Anyways, the eppie with "evil" Bakura...*shudders* Creepy. And what about the evil part of Seto Kaiba? Is/was he considered a Dueling Spirit? (never saw all of that eppie) That [i]is[/i] him in the opening sequence, the one rising out of the water in the white and cream robes.

I dunno...but lately, I've been doing the whole, "What is my purpose?" bit. I keep wondering if people really like me for [i]me[/i], or if they only like what I do...if they are only nice to me for as long as it takes for me to go away. This feeling was always there, it seems, but in the past few weeks, it's gotta out of hand...almost unbearable. Every couple of nights, I lie awake and just cry...wondering why it is this way. Is it my fault? I've noticed that I've also dropped out of a lot of my "extra curricular" stuff over the past few months...my acting group, my speech club (and I was one away from being a certified speaker, too...), my bible study group. Now, I promise you, I don't [b]ever[/b] think about taking my life...I just keep wondering if the world would be any different regardless of if I had been in it or not. I wish I could reach out to people more, but I feel like everytime I do, I lose them. I lost one of my best friends at the beginning of this year...my favorite uncle in May...I changed the church I grew up in a few weeks ago... Am I depressed or just blowing this out of proportion?

I had actually made a Mewthree a few years back--looked purposely like a cross between a Mew and a Mewtwo. It was midheight between the two (as if you started with Mew, began to stretch it to Mewtwo, then stopped halfway); the ears were tipped downward (again, cross 'tween Mew and Mewtwo); it had the "cord" thingy Mewtwo that went from back of his head to back. A jewel in its forehead, and the tail started out as one, then split into three. The eyes changed depending on what mood it was in...I [i]wish[/i] I could find that pic I had drawn of it, but that was so long ago...:bawl:

Trust me, nobody'd miss me if I got hit first. ;) They'd get mad that [i]I[/i] got hit first, but they wouldn't miss me, noooooo....teh heh.

It surprised Riley when Tally walked up to the enormous grey cyborg dragon without a single shriek or tremble. It surprised everyone else when Gigadramon flopped on his back and rolled around on the ground. "Gigadramon, what's wrong?" Tally asked in a panic. "Are you sick?" The Ultimate eyed her with curious patience. "Oh my sovereign, can't a super powerful Digimon scratch an itchy back without everyone making a big deal out of it?" He tumbled about some more, flailing this way and that, nearly squishing several of the others in the process--and unsuccessfully scratching his itch. He growled darkly in frustration. "May I?" Gigadramon turned a yellow eye to his Tamer, grunting. He turned to lay on his side, and carefully watched her, indicating the itch with his tail. The children Tamers watched in stupified awe. Yamaki was noticably bored. "[i]That's[/i] a Digimon?" he snorted. "More like an overgrown puppy. Scratching an itch...of all the--" A yellow eye turned on him, shining dangerously. "--ah, nevermind." "So who all is here?" Tally asked excitedly. Riley, precise as always, scanned the group, instantly classifying everyone. Before she began, Yamaki placed a hand on her shoulder. "Don't even think about being a human computer. Just cut to the chase so we can figure out how to get out of here." [i]You're one to talk,[/i] she grinned to herself. "Human wise, we have Suichon (sp?), Hirokazu, Kenta, Alice, Ai, Tally, myself, and you." "Why am I last?" Yamaki complained. Riley ignored him. "Digimon wise, we have quite the crowd. Antylamon, HiAndromon, Impmon, Gigadramon, Calamaramon, Starmon..." Riley took a breath, then continued. "...Angemon, Piximon, Majiramon, Mihiramon, Kumbhiramon." "Wow." "Yeah, no kidding." "Antennamon," Suzie called up to her Digimon, "why can't you be small so I can use you as a pillow again. [i]You just answered your own question, kid,[/i] Antylamon smiled to herself. "Say, [i]does[/i] anyone feel like de-digivolving?" Starmon instantly turned back into Gazimon and grinned at everyone. "Ta da!" The look everyone (especially Yamaki) gave him made him blush under his silvery fur and attempt to digivolve again. Into a Togemon. "OW!" someone shrieked as a thorn prodded them. Togemon moved to oblige, and was answered by two more shouts of pain. When Yamaki got poked, he bounced up, eyes flashing as he pulled his shades on and rubbed a...rather sensitive area. "Now I can't even sit down!" he hollered. Togemon moaned, then shrank to Gazimon again, then, in a spasm of frustration, digivolved again...this time into a Whamon. The large creature flopped about on the dry ground, gasping. "Now what, Yamaki?" he bellowed. "Oh for crying out loud--!" "Hang on, I got this..." Whamon shrunk back into Gazimon, then tried once more to please. "Well, how about now?" "Oh my [i]gosh![/i]" "What is that [i]stench?![/i]" "Ew, Antennamon, he wooks wike poopie...gwoss!" "I agree," the Ultimate nodded, frowning at Yamaki as she moved Suzie away. Everyone else did likewise, Riley being the last to move over. Sukamon cuddled up to Yamaki, grinning (with an awful blast of horrid breath) at him. "Aw well, you n' me'll stick together, right?" Yamaki's stomach lurched and he scooted away to join the others. Leaving Sukamon by himself. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I DON'T LIKE THIS," Zhuqiaomon said scornfully. "BAIHUMON AND EBONWUMON HAVE FALLEN PREY. AZULONGMON IS IN POTENTIAL DANGER. I AM ALL THAT'S LEFT IN THE MOST PRISTENE GLORY...YET SOMETHING IS WRONG." Out the corner of his many eyes, something white...rope like...flashed past. "SHOW THINESELF!" Nothing responded. The Phoenix burned with rage; he did not like to look the fool. "WHERE ART THOU, SCUM?" A small tentacle, almost like a miniscule white worm, trailed past one of his large talons, and he instantly seized it in his beak. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "A bad move, my hotheaded friend," Millinniummon chuckled darkly to himself. "You sovereigns are practically destroying yourselves [i]for[/i] me." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Zhuqiaomon screamed in agony as the tentacle seared him, white hotter than he thought possible. It laced itself about his beak, shutting it tight. More tentacles and cords appeared fast and furious, roping about every part of Zhuqiaomon. The fiery pain intensified with every cord, but the Bird's anger was hotter still. "HOW DARE THOU!" he managed to say from his closed beak. Parallelmon arose from the ground, the cords and tentacles all connecting to him. He stared without emotion at the sovereign with his one eye. "RELEASE ME!" Parallelmon stared impassively at him. "NOW!" No response. "THAT DOES IT--" but before he could attack, Parallelmon was already countering. "Absorb Bang." Zhuqiaomon screeched as his attack was prematurely sucked away, his own fiery body fluttering as if it had been blown on by a big wind. The Bird struggled, but Parallelmon drew the cords and tentacles tighter, draining more energy with every minute. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS--I AM A SOVEREIGN!" Parallelmon either didn't hear or didn't care. He continued his relentless drainage. After a while, his eye glowed darkly and pulsed. A sphere of energy collected, and shot at Zhuqiaomon. "ABSORB BANG!" The Phoenix had fought to pull away, but, tied up as he was, only managed to divert the attack to hit him in his left chest. Arching back in pain slightly, his grand head waving back and forth, eyes mere slits, Zhuqiaomon didn't notice his body was losing its flame. Parallelmon felt him weakening, and lashed out two cords with claws to absorb the sovereign all the more quicker (but, being a sovereign, it was still a long job). Zhuqiaomon cursed and screamed in violated shame as he felt himself drop pass Mega level and shrink to an Ultimate. From then on, it was mere child's play for Parallelmon to finish him off. The Digimon that used to be Zhuqiaomon struggled more, and tried to think of something free himself before he became a part of Parallelmon fully. He continued to shrink, and just as he hit Poromon stage, he thought of something: Parallelmon had to pause a bit before each need absorbtion. If he could just pull away enough to escape before he was totally taken in...but that would be hard. Poromon was small enough to go in one bite. As expected, Parallelmon paused a moment before continuing his absorbtion. His tentacles and cords were draped a bit loosely around Poromon, accounting to the fact that Zhuqiaomon had shrunk in size, and the cords had not been as fast to keep close. Poromon wiggled a small bit, then bounced around, free of his prison. He wiggled his tiny wings experimentally and chirped in dominatory joy. Bouncing away he turned to stick his tongue out at the idiotic Parallelmon--and tripped over a cord. It snapped at his energy hungrily, and a Pururumon was left sulking. Parallelmon snapped his eye open, gathered energy, and shot his attack at the Fresh Digimon. And suddenly, on the brink of aborbtion, Pururumon saw into Parallelmon's mind--and discovered what his evil plot was. The last thing Pururumon remembered was falling a long distance before landing somewhere. "Hey, guys, look...a pink penguin?" "Oooo, wook, it's PINK!" Unsure of who was surrounding him now, Pururumon took comfort that he was still alive...and passed out.

*nods* Thankies, James. :) I am greatly pleased that we could all be mature about this, everyone! :angel:

Heh, I bet [i]someone's[/i] gonna be a drama queen and running around (on his kangaroo, oh hee hee, sorry James, j/k! I'm one of the biggest Drama Queens around, so it'd be me!) on the final night (day?...hey wait a minute, what about the time zones and...O_o'), screaming about impending doom! Then, as we all hold our breath (and some of us pass out), the night will pass into day (or vice versa, whichever side of the earth you're on), and we will be lulled back into a sense of relief and building egotism that we SURVIVED! Then the drama queen will be the first hit by the meteor the very next day. Oy. *giggles* (Heh, at least I'd be the first to go! :p)

:therock: Really? You never told me this. *feels a little bothered* I'm a Lutheran Christian, been that way since I was eight/nine/ten/whatever age I was when I was baptized. >_

I shall also be a mimic at this point: When you are 18, yes, you will be old enough to make your own decisions. But it will be tough until then. Since you seem to be in a moderately high state of emotion, you want to be careful what you do. As in don't do something you'll regret. And whatever you do, [b]don't[/b] pit any of your friends, Mom's friends, or relatives against her, saying that so and so is such and such a religion and they're just fine. That'll make it a LOT worse. Trust voice of experience over here. I hope the toaster analogy made sense, because it's true. You can't get anything out of a religion or appreciate it if you don't really want it or care for it. My religion fulfills my needs, but I am different from you. You are the best person to know what will make you happy and at peace. One last piece of advice: while looking around at the different religions, either get someone experienced and understanding of that religion, or do the factual research yourself. Don't just ask your buddies what religion seems the best to them. A lot of people misunderstand a lot of religions, and you don't want to end up back where you are now, with someone else breathing down your neck. Hope we are helping. :)

oh boy...um, um, um. *promises to be good* OK, the problem is that she pushed you. IMO, no one should EVER force anyone else to be a religion that you don't want to be (although I wish you could find someone else other than your mother to help you understand Christianity). It's like being a bad salesman--the kind that keeps telling you that you want the beat up toaster in the corner of the car show room. No matter how many times you tell him you want a car if he keeps shoving the toaster on you, you will take it home, but you won't be able to use it as the intended purpose of a car, and you won't ever be able to appreciate it as a toaster itself. Whacked, I know, but I find that analogy interesting. Now, whether you really wish to pursue this, or whether you are rebelling against your mother, I don't know. Is there a way you can, you know, live elsewhere, maybe with other relatives? Your mother will flat out not accept your current decision and that's only going to make things a lot worse. (And speaking of things getting, I offer fair warning in saying that no one should bash any religion in this thread--else I WILL get out of hand. Warning has been placed. ;))

I like it. Nice with the heart and the head. I guess "Chaos" could be slightly bigger, or maybe the images...there seems to be a little more empty space than needed. But besides that, I really like it. And even if I erase the corners, you'll still see white stuff. :-/ Are you using a Micorsoft or Mac program? *dreads answer already*
