Gulool Ja Ja's Legacy: A FFXIV DT Rewrite + Expansion Concepts [Fanfiction]

Ch6: The Darkness in Mamook

Wuk Lamat initially struggled in battle against Bakool Ja Ja. She soon discovered the energy of resolve within her becoming ever easier to gather and employ at critical moments in battle.

Bakool Ja Ja could feel the battle shifting away from him. The damn hellcat would recover from the brink of collapse again and again. Each time she would grow fiercer like a kitten discovering the use of her sharp claws!

Again, the ferocity within Wuk Lamat's axe strikes waned, followed by a raging inferno breathing new life into her relentless swings, raising the hrothgar to new heights.

A cleave fell from the heavens and Bakool Ja Ja was sent stumbling backwards with his twinblades raised in a panic.

"We must employ our paired magic, brother," Bakool Ja Ja the Mystic muttered.

"This kitten is indeed more thorny than I expected," Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty mumbled, wholly unnerved by the unexpected situation.

Bakool Ja Ja leapt backwards to create a good distance, and extended his two scaly arms. His right arm was a fiery ball, while his left carried an icy aether.

He brought his two hands together and the two spells, aetherically opposed, combined seamlessly.

The ball of fire and ice was then released in Wuk Lamat's direction, gradually expanding to fill the whole area in a chaotic storm.

Wuk Lamat brought her black axe down once again, and the very land was rent asunder as mountain peaks rose from the ground, forming an impenetrable wall against Bakool Ja Ja's storm.

As the turbulent mess of aether filled the area, Bakool Ja Ja's four eyes widened in disbelief to see an axe parting the sea before his very eyes.

He once again raised his twinblades to block.

The weapons crossed. A dull crunch sounded as one of Bakool Ja Ja's twinblades shattered as he was sent tumbling backwards, having no choice but to roll and dissipate the force of Wuk Lamat's axe.

"Impossible..." Bakool Ja Ja the Mighty muttered as he recalled that his twinblades had been previously damaged. Did Wuk Lamat somehow notice that singular nick and thus aimed for it with her strike? Or was it just luck?

Regardless, he had failed. He was doomed. The weight of the situation gradually filled Bakool Ja Ja's mind, shocked awake by the unexpected combat ability that Wuk Lamat displayed.

He had been baited by Zoraal Ja into releasing Valigarmanda, placing him at odds against the Yok Huy, preventing his completion of the Feat of Ice.

He assumed it would be easy to gain said completion slab from Wuk Lamat. She turned out to be some mad hellkitten with no interest in the rite of succession, and had destroyed her Feat of Ice slab instead.

As the two-headed Mamool ja of the current generation, he was meant to lead the way. He had been instructed by his father to inherit the seat of Tuliyollal, and correct the wayward Gulool Ja Ja, who had forgotten his role in bringing the whole of Mamool ja society to stand at the very top.

And of course-- he had been defeated with a single pommel from Zoraal Ja.

"No...No! NO!" The weight of his failure sent his mind into despair, and Bakool Ja Ja rose to his feet before dashing away, back into the safety of the Yak T'el lower canopy.

During Wuk Lamat's duel against Bakool Ja Ja, the Warrior of LIght, Leveilleur twins, Krile and Erenville pursued the kidnappers of Hunmu Rruk.

Bakool Ja Ja's minions would soon take a stand, failing to shake off the pursuit of these well-experienced scions.

"If you continue this pursuit, we will take the life of this hrothgar," a menacing Mamool ja threatened.
