Jica ran after the blue mage. He didn't care if the man was after the sword still in his hands, or had attacked him, and he wouldn't have cared if he had sent Alexander after them. For the moment, the selkie was chiefly concerned about getting to safety.
Hey! Read my fanfic: HereGaia:
The group ran around a huge rock formation and spotted a flying vehicle resembling a cross between a plane and a zeppelin, with the painting of a woman in a bikini on one side ala WWII bombers. [1]
The landing bridge was down so they ran inside.
-"Old man, what the **** is that thing??" Cid asked Strago.
-"No time for explanations, JUST GO!!" he responded.
Cid closed the entrance hatch and launched the ship. Just as it was taking off however, an arm the size of a train grazed it, knocking everyone inside around like rag dolls. Cid was able to right then ship quickly however.
-"Why you ****! How DARE you damage my ship! You're gonna pay for that!" and he turned the airship around to face the monolith.
-"Cid, NO! We have to get out of here!!" Strago screamed.
Two young women emerged from the passenger area. "What's happening?" a young woman in a Time Mage suit asked.
-"By the gods, is that Alexander??" a female viera wearing a robe asked.
The X-Zone:
The growling grew closer, and a gigantic, cat-like figure with extremely long whiskers came out of the shadows, looking at the newcomers hungrily. [2]

"Alexander assails us!"
She turned to face the other people, "Hopefully I will find a good first impression. I am Mote, elementalist and in-training summoner. So, am I the only one here who knows anything about Alexander?"

Anime geemu wo shinasai!"By the gods, what was that about?" Samira shook her head in disbelief. "Was that an over-sized Gigas or what?" She then turned to the other people. "Oh, where are my manners. My name is Samira Rosenhart of the Rosenhart family. I am a Time Mage. Pleased to meet you all." She bowed slightly.

"Alexander is the Holy Guardian, patron of fortifications. It is among the most powerful of Summons." Minwu said. "It is possible to fight it, but with our strength..."
"On the other hand, I also know that it is a great mistake to get between a pilot and his airship."
It's a plot! ...Quite a well written one too."That's correct, so whoever summoned him has immense magical power. Fleeing is probably the best option, if this ship can manage."
"Black Mage! Instead of conjuring haste, why don't stay true to your name and prepare a dark spell?"
Anime geemu wo shinasai!"Unfortunately," Jica said, trying to keep himself balanced. Conflicted on whether to have Jica start flirting with one of the girls or not... This would really deepend on whether I want to make him ace or bi, 'cause those are the two I'm stuck thinking he'd be... So... >.< "I'm Jica Sart, green mage of this expedition."
Also, can we make charmcaster an "official" synonym/sobriquet of green mage?
Hey! Read my fanfic: HereX-Zone:
-"That's a Queen Coeurl" Paxton explained. "I doubt it's going to choose a small treat over several hundred pounds of living fresh meat- as in us". He pulled out his weapon. "We can try to outrun it, but I doubt we'll be able to. Let's try to kill it before it messes up all our minds with its powers!"
Gaia:
-"Cid, who are these people?" Strago asked.
-"Just two passengers I picked up. What, you think you're my only customer?"
-"I don't care about your business! Just don't try to fight a god! It's madness!!"
-"Bah, it wouldn't be the first overly large monster I killed. This ain't no two-bit airship you know!"
Indeed, the ship, under Cid's control, was flying around the colossus so deftly that its swings kept missing. "Hold on to something, folks, here we go!"
WHAMM!! The airship rammed the giant, and pieces of it actually broke off- but the same thing happened to the airship. "Oops. Maybe this isn't such a good idea after all."
-"You idiot! All you did was put us back into its range!!" Gabranth shouted.
-"Will you people calm down? That thing is so slow it'll never-" But then they noticed silvery light starting to pour out of its head.
-"OH NO!" It's getting ready to cast Holy! [1]
If it hits us with it we will be destroyed!!" Strago gasped.
((Note: you're close enough to attack Alexander, if you wish.))
(( Airship theme music- [2]

((OOC: Jica- sure, charmcaster sounds better than witch.))

"Holy?!" Mote said. "I did not pay good money so I could get blown up at 2000 feet! Somebody silence him or something!"
Mote pointed her rapier at Alexander. It grew four times at long, began to glow the same color as her hair, and lost it rigid form, waving at the whim of her wrist. She lashed at Alexander again and again, hoping to disable
him in desperation. "It's times like this I wish I'd chosen summoner as my main job," she muttered under her breath.
"There is no way I'm going to die here," Samira frowned as she prepared to cast a spell. "Especially not to a Gigas-sized summon that knows Holy! Take this! DEMI!" She launched out a large black sphere that struck the summon, reducing its health by half. "Hmph. I should've become a Black Mage..." She muttered to herself as the summon was barely affected by the spell. "Oh well, Beggars can't be choosers, I suppose."

"Okay," Mote shouted, "then I'll really make him hurt! Spirits before my eyes, eclipse this shining creature with darkness. Evil Gaze!
Anime geemu wo shinasai!Jica nodded, pointing his racket at the huge... thing. "Silence! Blind! Oil!" He then shouted louder with; "If the oil sticks, hit it with fire!"
Hey! Read my fanfic: Here

The manifestation of Alexander was huge and powerful, but it was also very slow. The group almost made it to the Strahl-
- When a fist the size of a house came down on the ship, smashing it like a meteor. K-RAAASHH!!
Despair almost overcame the adventurers, but Strago shouted "We have a ship too! It's hidden behind that rock formation! Follow me!!"
((Note: I got it wrong earlier, Cid is the second ship. Sorry, editing correction.))
MEANWHILE, in the X-Zone:
-"Wait, let me see if I understand" Judge Paxton said. "We are in the place people magically banish stuff to?"
-"Yup" the Moogle responded.
-"Then... isn't this place full of dangerous monsters?"
A roar was heard closely, as if answering his question.
-"... I think we'd better look for a way out. Fast" the young Judge concluded.
