Boss Frog Filler

Episode 1: The Truth

"Hey how come I've never heard of this Celestia place?"

"Probably because you never asked."

"..."

"Hm, at any rate are you ready to depart?"

"I guess so..."

"You will teleport through your Sacred Tome so Baku won't be going with you."

"WHAT?!"

"Don't panic, you can take care of yourself."

"..."

"C'mon don't be a baby...get your ass to Celestia so we can beat the living shit outta that Satan Black guy."

"Alright Alright...But before I go...Ikaruga, exactly why does Forte wanna help me so much?"

"...I could tell you...but I think it's best you find out on your own."

My eyes opened to darkness and I could feel my body flat on a solid surface. I leaned up completely to see that I was laying on a pedestal like column that was an island in the center of a wide bed of water. Beyond the water and the small island pedestal I stood on was a series of other columns something like an old temple.

(CROAK)

(CROAK)

I heard the croaking of a frog in my ears and the sound echoed through the empty corridors. I looked left and right and up and down yet I couldn't see any frogs until I seen a grand shadow cast over my figure. I spun around quickly to stand face to face with an enormous frog. It was about my height and resting on all fours with it's bent legs down at his sides. He was a blue frog with red eyes and wore a black haori and a white sash that held a japanese wood carved knife. It's red horizontal eyes gazed at me awhile. It croaked once again filling it's neck with air to make it seem as if he had a balloon in his throat.

"Uh..."

O.o- Me

T.T- The Frog

Without warning it reached forward with incredible speed and punched me so hard in the jaw I could swear I almost lost consciousness. I flew back off of the pillar and skipping along the clear water until I hit another pillar and fell back in. I saw up to the surface with abit of a small bruise on my left cheek, I glared at the blue frog as it jumped towards me, it was hopping off of pure water towards me while croaking.

I slammed both of my fists on the surface of the water launching myself up out of the liquidy abyss and into the air abit, as the frog was drawing close I swung my right foot up in a cresent kick slamming the toe of my dressshoe into the frog's chin it went flying up abit and I spun around with my left foot kicking the frog in the side of the head sending him flying off to the side, he hit the water causing a grand splash.

When I fell back into the water I quickly swam back over to the island and pulled myself out. "Geh..." I gasped for air pulling myself out and laying down on my back. I rolled over on my stomach and the second I did, two swords crossed at each of my wrists trapping my hands down, I felt a foot stamp onto my back. An axe at my neck and three spears pointed at the back of my head.

I turned my head on one side and looked up with my left eye to see several human sized frogs with weapons, there were about five of them. Five had spears and swords and the other five kept their distance holding hand and machine guns. They all wore the same black japanese haori with a white sash around their waists.

"What is this? A human? In the Don's Sacred Temple?" A roaring voice commanded like thunder that shook the entire underground causing spickets of sand to trickle down from the stone ceiling. Suddenly the building began to rumble and tumble more as a huge bullet of water began to rise. Splashing up was a frog the size of Mt. Rushmore, this frog was as big as a mountain. It's skin was a pepper red with lots of black stripes and swiggles all over his body something like a Tiger Frog. It's lips were black and it's eyes were a golden horizontal pupil. He also wore a black haori with a huge skyscraper sized katana strapped to the sash on his belt.

The frog stared down at me with judging eyes as the rest of the frogs stepped back hopping into the water and only revealing their heads to stare up at this frog god. " I am Don Jirai, Don of the Mizu Yakuza...who are you? State your purpose here human." The mountain frog said narrowing his eyes at me.

"I came here for a summoned spirit...and I've decided that summoned spirit to be you." I said pointing at him. What the hell am I doing!?

" WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE HERE?" The Don asked me again in a more demanding yet convincing way. He asked again because it's obvious he wanted confirmation on what I said.

I closed my eyes swallowed hard and peered up at the mountain frog. I had quelled the fear within me and clenched my teeth, if this thing was gonna crush me then it's just gonna crush me. "I came here for you Don Jirai...I'm a Million Magister and I'm seeking a summoned spirit...and I want you as my first summoned beast." I replied looking up at the Don.

The Don Frog reached into his huge cloth haori and pulled out a cigar the size of a tower and lit it with an oversized lighter as well. He blew out a smog of smoke that filled the ceiling and looked down at me sticking the cigar back into his mouth. "HUMAN YOU DARE STEP BEFORE DON JIRAI AND DEMAND I BE YOUR PET!?" He shouted causing the building to rumble. It shook with so much furosity that I dropped to one knee and the water clashed over the pedestal I was standing on slapping against the back of my feet.

" I have the right piece of mind to trample you beneath my powerful feet." The Don snapped at me.

I dropped down to my hands and knees. "PLEASE!!" I screamed looking up at him.

And with that the Don's eyes widened along with the eyes of the other soldier frogs. "I don't have any other options...my magical power has been sealed...I feel so powerless...you don't understand. My friends need me to be there for them but I can't...I can't not like this...I need help, I need your power Don. Help me...give me strength...I swear I'll pay you back anyway I know how...I'm not asking you to join me as a pet, I'm asking you to join me as a partner." I pleaded. It was the lowest I had ever gone...my pride and all of my straightforwardness was in shambles.

"HMHMHMHMMHMHMHMHMHM!!" The Don laughed staring down at me.

I looked up at him. "Huh?"

"WHAT MAGICAL POWER?" He asked.

"Whaddaya mean?" I asked.

"I SENSE NOT A TRACE OF MAGIC WITHIN YOU...NOT EVEN A SPARK...YOU SAY YOUR POWERS HAVE BEEN SEALED? EVEN IN A SEALED STATE I CANNOT FIND A GLIMMER OF MAGIC WITHIN YOU." The Don replied.

With that I raised an eyebrow. "T-That...my powers were sealed...th-that's why you can't sense anything." I said standing to my feet.

"AS I'VE SAID...EVEN IN A SEALED STATE I CAN TELL EXACTLY HOW STRONG A HUMAN IS...YOU...HAVE NO MAGICAL POWER...NONE AT ALL." The Don explained and with that I almost threw up completely.

"Wh-what are you talking about...no magic power? LIAR!! LIAR!! LOOK FOR YOURSELF!" I shouted holding up my right palm. It may mean me transforming into a Dark Mage but...I have to show these guys that I have guts! I clenched my forearm and tightened my muscules. "FIRAGA!" I screamed but there was no blast that shot from my palm nor even a glimmer of aura. "FIRAGA!" I screamed again and yet nothing... I decided to try once more. "FIRAGA!" Another dud. I dropped to my knees in confusion and sadness...

"...YOU HAVE NOTHING TO OFFER...NOTHING TO GIVE...YOU MAY HAVE BEEN A MAGE AT ONE POINT BUT RIGHT NOW...YOU ARE JUST A HUMAN." The Don stated and I dropped to both my hands and knees out of verbal agony.

"I don't have any magic power? How?" I asked.

" THAT MARK ON YOUR CHEST, IT IS THE CAUSE..." The Don replied and with that my eyes widened. I placed my hand over the left side of my chest and looked up at the Don.

"But this is the seal...it's protecting me from turning into a Dark Mage." I said.

"WRONG, IT IS A HEX SEAL...CREATED TO BREAK DOWN AND DESTROY YOUR MAGICAL MIGHT." The Don replied narrowing his eyes at me.

SACRED TOME SEALING GUIDE:

Hex Seal: A Hex seal is a proxy type spell that breaks down and destroys whatever it has been casted upon over a fixed amount of time.

"THAT HEX THAT WAS CASTED ON YOUR BODY IS NOT TO HOLD BACK DARK POWER BUT TO DESTROY IT ALONG WITH YOUR ORIGINAL MAGIC POWER." The Don explained. "DARK MAGES ONLY MANIFEST ONCE AND ONCE THAT POWER HAS BEEN QUELLED SOMEHOW, IT WILL BE FILTERED BY YOUR OVERALL MP BUILD UP SO THAT THE TRANSFORMATION WILL NOT HAPPEN SPANTANEOUSLY...BOY WHO TOLD YOU THAT YOU NEEDED TO SURPRESS YOUR POWER?"

O.o- Me "Wait asec...all this time...I've been fine?! I've been alright all this time?!" I screamed clenching my fists. "Herald , the greatest mage in Ivalice...why...why would he lie to me?! Why would he destroy my magic power?"

"HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I UNDERSTAND NOW...ROTHSCHILD DID THIS TO YOU EH?" The Don spoke sucking in a large amout of smoke from his cigar and exhaling it in a smog.

" Whaddaya mean? Rothschild is a nice guy...he wouldn't..." I started before the Don cut me off.

"ROTHSCHILD IS A HERETIC...HE IS NOT ONE TO BE TRUSTED." The Done replied and with that I felt my heart drop. "SOME ONE THOUSAND YEARS AGO ROTHSCHILD USED TO BE APART OF THE MAGIC COUNCIL AS ONE OF IT'S CHAIRMEN. AS WELL AS BEING A CHAIRMEN HE WAS ALSO THE FOLLOWER OF ZEREK, A MAGE GOD WITH UNFATHOMABLE POWERS. ZEREK SAUGHT CONTROL OF THE MAGIC COUNCIL FOR IT'S POWER AND CONTROL OVER THE MAGICAL WORLD...ZEREK WANTED THAT WORLD TO MAKE IT HIS OWN AND RECREATE IVALICE TO HIS WISHES. ZEREK AND ROTSHCHILD, ONCE AQUIRING ENOUGH FOLLOWERS HAD JOINED FORCES IN A STRIKE AGAINST THE MAGIC COUNCIL...THEY OVERPOWERED THE SYSTEM AND JUST WHEN DOMINATION WAS WITHIN THEIR GRASPS THEY WERE STOPPED..."

"Uh...stopped...by what?" I asked sitting down with my legs crossed.

" A MILLION MAGISTER...MILLION MAGISTER DUVAL, DUVAL WAS A MILLION SAGE, ONE WHOM HAVE MASTERED OVER A MILLION SPELLS. HE DEFEATED ROTHSCHILD AND USING HIS LAST LINE OF LIFE SEALED THE MAGE GOD ZEREK." The Don explained as I sat back on my bottom and crossed my legs like a kindergardener.

" But...even if what your saying is true...why did Rothschild get rid of my powers?" I asked.

" Duval was a Million Magister and Rothschild was a higher Holy Mage...ever since his defeat I suppose he had somewhat of a phobia for Million Magisters. He eliminated you from the equation to stop you from meddling in his future affairs perhaps." The Don replied.

SACRED TOME MAGE GUILD

Holy Mage: Holy Mages are often mistaken for scions or chosen people from the gods. They utilize the Light element and has the ability to mix the light attribute with other spells of different elements. Most of their magic consists of healing and protection but on the other hand can project powerful offensive spells.

"Who the hell are you anyway?! How do you know all of this Don Frog guy?" I asked jumping to my feet quickly.

"Because I was once Duval's summoned beast. He was one man I wasn't afraid to actually call my master." The Don said looking down on me once again.

"...is this...really true." I said looking down.

"As a boss frog I cannot tell a lie...Rothschild has decieved you boy." He announced. " I truly thought that man to be dead...but it seems he is very well alive. Since he is alive there is no doubt in my mind that he is seeking a way to rejuvenate his old master...Zerek."

"How bad is this Zerek guy I mean...what's the deal with him anyway?" I asked with a shrug.

"Zerek was the first mage to ever transform into a Dark Mage and keep his soul and consciousness intact...using his Dark Power he casted one of the 6, Forbidden spells." The Don explained.

SACRED TOME SPELL GUIDE:

The 6 Forbidden Spells: 6 Powerful and Unforgiveable Spells that the Magic Council has dubbed unusuable by any mage or magic user. These 6 Spells are said to cast true magical damnation and bring about the end of the magic world. Should a mage so much as casts one of these spells he or she will be put to death, accident or not.

" The Forbidden Spell Zerek used was No.4, Darkness Fall."

SACRED TOME SPELL GUIDE:

Forbidden Spell No.4, Darkness Falls: An unavoidable Dark Spell that casts blind over the entire planet plundging the world itself into darkness.

"It was known as the great blackout, the entire world along with the Magic Council was completely blind as Zerek and Rothschild along with their army of darklings murdered them all." The Don said. " Zerek was an immortal with unlimited MP...defeating him is no small task even for an Elder...without Duval I'm afraid if Zerek reawakens Ivalice will be finished."

"Well how do I get my magic power back?! I'll beat the shit outta Rothschild before he awakens Zerek!" I shouted clenching my fist.

"Even with your full magic power restored boy you wouldn't stand a chance against Rothschild. As you are you couldn't stack up to one 1/10 of Rothschild's magic power." The Don explained.

"Dammit!" I shouted clenching my fists. "How do you know when you never sensed my power to begin with?!"

"Witnessing your fight against one of my minions earlier gave me all the evidence I needed." The Don said smoking his cigar.

"Damn is there nothing I can do at all?" I asked clenching my teeth angrily.

"There is..." The Don said looking down at me. "Get stronger..."

"But there is no time!" I said spreading my hands out.

" There are alot of magical worlds out there that travel on a different scale of time than this one. Go to one of those worlds and get stronger then when you have mastered the arts of wizardry and magic...return here. Only then will I allow myself to be partnered with you." The Don said blowing down a heep of smoke at me.

"Well my first question is how do I get my magic power back?" I asked but before I could get an answer the Don leaned down and placed his big frog hand over my body his hand was so huge it was about the size of a roof to a house. A sprinkling blue aura rained down over me like raindrops suddenly I felt the seal on my chest lift and I felt somewhat lighter. "There I have dispelled the Hex on your chest...so now your magic power will rebuild and begin to form itself. You will slowly recover your magic power in perhaps afew days."

"Eh...even if I'm getting it back I'm still no match for an Elder. So how do I get to one of those worlds you were talking about." I asked patting my chest. "There is no way I'm gonna let Rothschild and the Empire get away with this. But I'm not strong enough...I wanna get stronger so I can beat both their asses!"

"Heh heh...now that's how you're suppose to say it kid. Alright...I'll conjure up a spell that will take you to a random world. But know this boy..." The Don said glaring down at me. "Once I've teleported you there, the way back is for you to figure out. You must have gotten strong enough to teleport yourself back to this world by then. The world I will teleport you to is the world known as Gaia. There you will see that there is alot of room for growth. For every hour that passes by here 5 days passes in that world. So the times are alittle off but you will be given ample time to train and grow."

I nodded. "Ok but I've got one last question." I said raising a finger.

"What is it?" The Don asked as his palm began to glow with a bright light.

"Why are you helping me?" I asked.

"You remind me of a young Duval. He was right around your age when he came to me seeking power for a reason. Just as you are now...Well...are you ready?" The Don asked hovering his hand over my body.

"Yeah." I said to myself. 'Everyone I'm sorry I have to go so suddenly, I promise I'll be back...I'll be back even stronger and I'll protect everyone."

With that the Don slammed his hand on my body.

(line)

My eyes opened to a bright light in my face....I leaned up alittle finding myself in a white bed with acouple of sheets over my body. I looked around me to see a woman sitting in chair staring at me. "Whoa!" I was startled by her sudden appearance.

"My name is Quistis Trepe how are you?" She said tipping up her glasses.

"Uh...fine I guess...uh...where am I?" I asked looking around.

"This is Balamb Garden the Magical Academy for aspiring mages." She replied.

O.o-Me "What?!"
