Summer Falls Mini Round – Scylla Battle Scene

The Scylla battle is ready to read!!

Welcome back to Somerset! :smile:

After months of delay, the game finally resumed. Though this is no longer summer or autumn, the story goes on, because winter surprisingly fitting for the setting. After all, this is not only about the passing season but also climate change that could lead into an ice age.

Anyway, for those who forgot, each characters are fighting one of the Scylla. For those who need to refresh their memory, here’s the list of Scylla on the game!

Also, because everyone have their own battle, the writing turned out to be so long. (No, not as long as the battle royale that we did months ago) The reason behind the length is not because the battle get dragged on, also not because there’s too much narration. It’s simply due to the fact that everyone are fighting by themselves. Usually, we’re doing 1 vs 1 matchup between players, but a mini round is a whole different thing, since you non-player characters.

Unlike the 2019 tournament, this is just a mini round, so the quality of writing is clearly lessened since I spend less time on both researching and editing, so don’t be surprised if there’s many grammatical errors or typos in the doc.

However it doesn’t meant that it’s less enjoyable than the tournament’s battle scenes, because a mini round is easier for me to write, and thus, much more fun to do! :smile: I have my total freedom on deciding the setting and outcome because there’s no specific set. Each are on their own, thus having their own story to tell. Even more, a “player vs NPC” is much more easier to do by default because there’s less discussion to memorize, thus no stress or pressure.

So, in the end, the entire writing is about 55 pages Gdoc long. For some people, that might be readable, but some people might find it so outrageously massive that they can’t read it in one day. Which is why I make two version for two different choice. By default, there’s the normal version of the doc that will be marked as FULL VERSION on the title. Meanwhile, there’s the version that’s chopped into two different doc, so it’s lighter and easier to read.

That’s all for the author’s note! Now, without further ado…

REMINDER: Every EBG battle scenes are specifically optimized for website view on desktop and not for mobile. For best of experience, I strongly recommended to read the battle scenes on a computer than on phone. There’s no guarantee that the display/visual on phone match the intended result, which might include error such as missing font or bad coding.

Additional Note: Don’t forget to close the document outline on the left screen.

MUSIC RECOMMENDATION!

Protip: Right click on the video and choose “Loop” to keep the song playing, so you don’t need to press replay. This way, even if the video is short, you can keep reading because the song will automatically replay once it ends, until you stop it manually and switch to another song.

Important: When playing a track on Soundcloud, always press the loop button on your player, because Soundcloud’s autoplay will very likely leads you to another track without warning, so you might ended up listening to the wrong music for the battle.

Update: Adding for what I consider the best tracks for the current battle scene. I decide to add them in case you struggled to choose the right music from the list.

 Dark Chronicle OST – Veniccio Coast (One of the best music for the ENTIRE round, however NOT for the battles and ONLY for the lighthearted scenes! Can be played at the start of the reading, but only good for the first four paragraph. Ironically, this music is great for the ending scene, around page 53 to 54 on the “full version” of the doc)

 Pirates of the Caribbean – The Medallion Calls (A beautiful music to start the story, to immediately gets immersed in the sense of adventure in the open seas)

 Two Steps From Hell – Atlantis (Another great music to start the game, but I suggest you play this after the intro finished. It’s a good music for every scenes in general. Which is why you use this for all the battles, unless, when the awesome scene demands better music. Anyway, that link is for the original. Extended version of the music below)

 Thomas Bergersen – Ocean Princess (An even better music than the previous option! This one should be kept later when the epic, awesome scene happens. Great from page 28 (of the “full version” doc, which basically the entirety of the second doc for the chopped version) and onward. This link is the original video. Extended version of the music below)

Jessie Yun – Legend of the Seas (A choice for more action-packed music than Atlantis or the Ocean Princess, befitting of a battlefield in the middle of a war. The music has an oriental, authentic taste that’s only fitting for the combat based battles, such as LynBhodYakairaAllanSidianLuziaRaphael, and Icelia, though it can be used for the rest as well)

 Pirates of the Caribbean – He’s a Pirate (Absolutely can’t go wrong with this one! It’s an epic music that’s intense and fast-paced, yet beautiful, melodic, pumping up the adrenaline and fighting spirit! This music be can be played for almost every possible scene on the round)

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance OST – Rules of Nature (For those who enjoyed heavy metal music sung in English lyric. Though it started dreadful, the chorus is filled with determination, such as when the heroes strike back against the villain! The music has an oriental, authentic taste that’s only fitting for the combat based battles, such as LynBhodYakairaAllanSidianLuziaRaphael, and Icelia, though it can be used for the rest as well)

NemesisTheory – Rose At Twilight (One of the best song for this battle scene. The song is filled with “boss battle” vibe all over it, as if we’re fighting against some apocalyptic being for the sake of the world. It’s a good choice for most of the battles in general)

Most Wondrous Battle Music: “Destruction” by Keiichi Okabe & Monaca™ (As the name assume, this music speaks about destruction, an impending doom upon the world. Specifically good for an apocalyptic battle, such as against the ProphetessWhisperer, and Sovereign)

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMix -Lord Of The Castle (An awesome boss battle music with melody that is both classy and dramatic, grim and gothic, yet epic and heroic. Great for any dramatic scene in general, especially for a battle against something powerful and fearsome)

Epic Battle Fantasy – Those Of Us Who Fight (A melodic boss battle theme from a game that accidentally got similar name to EBG. This music is good in general for any battle, especially those with determination, as you strive through and keep fighting on)

Mana Khemia – Nefertiti (A really epic and intense battle music! Perfect for the payback time when the heroes strike back and kick out really hard!)

Bravely Default – That Person’s Name Is (Another video game battle theme but more of an orchestra than metal or rock. An excellent piece of soundtrack for any of the fight)

Monster Girl Quest – Ilias Final Form (A pretty nice boss battle music, as if you’re fighting together against a powerful creature. It’s not intense nor dark enough to be considered as my favorite, but it’s still a solid track that’s good for many kind of boss battle)

 Castlevania Condemned Tower Cover by Yuta Romeo (My absolute favorite remix of one of the best Castlevania song that might be really great for the final showdown of the round! Best used for the final scene of TsunamiLynBhodIcelia and Sidian, but especially recommended for the last two characters. The music is melancholic, like a fight in a serene forest near the lake, under the moonlight of midnight. The only weakness is that there’s 3 seconds delay on the video before the music started, and that there’s a funny sound effect used on the ending. Nevertheless, still one of the best music for page 44 and onward)

  • Condemned Tower (Metal Cover) ZebulaJams (Alternative version of the previous recommendation. This is basically a remake that was inspired by Yuta Romeo, so it’s like the watered down version in term of quality and performance. Though this version is good by itself because there’s no delay at the start, or the kitty sound effect at the end – that’s instead replaced with previews of different cover music. I suggest to listen the Yuta Romeo version, but this is an acceptable choice)

NOTE: Play Veniccio Coast for the ending, started from the bottom of page 53)

Reminder: All the song above are only recommendation! Feel free to use your own music if you found better song that could fit with the battles!
