Sky · FFHaven RP (A) - The Strike (Thu May 24, 2007 2:37 am)

—Beginning of “The Strike”—

[ooc] No summary this time around, sorry. I'll be taking short notes over each post this time around, though, so making a summary won't make me want to jump off of a bridge. [/ooc]

The meeting in the basement of the Phoenix River Inn lasted only a few hours, but in that short time, the ragtag group known to the world simply as the “Rebels” outlined a plan for their next strike: Mako 11. Sky had explained to the group the significance of the target: there was a Shinra base said to be nearby, and taking Mako 11 offline would cut this base off from the rest of the world. With it gone, the path to the Carpathian Strait, the body of water separating the Northern and Southern Continents, would be opened up without fear of having pursuing SOLDIERs. They could then move on to attacking the final two reactors in the Northern Continent and then the Carpathian Bridge itself. Seizing control of the bridge between the two continents would be huge for the Rebels: the largely unknown territory of the Southern Continent would be perfect for constructing a second Rebel stronghold.

Mako 11 would not be an easy target, however. Because of its close proximity with the Shinra base, the entire mission would have to avoid being detected at all costs: the base is heavily defended, and there are rumors going around that a figure cloaked in black with a massive katana was spotted there.

“Sephiroth, to be sure,” Cloud said.

“Your biggest obstacle, however, will be lack of direction,” Sky explained, “because neither Artemis nor I will be able to command the battle.”

This caused several murmurs to arise in the small group of Rebels.

“I will be staying in Iri for a while with Payne, Eden, and Raven. We discussed this earlier in the morning. I feel that I am not up for full-fledged conflict at this time, and Payne has asked me to aid in guarding Eden and getting her through the Cloister of Trials for the temple here.”

“But what about Lady Artemis?” asked one of the Rebels.

Sky frowned. “I haven’t spoken to her since last night. She never came down from the bar and apparently left during the night,” he said. “I’m sure she must have some unfinished business here: it is after all her hometown.”

The rest of the group was instructed to board the Highwind, Cid’s ship, and head for Mako 11. They had two goals while there: hijack the reactor’s systems in order to recharge KOS-MOS’ energy reserves, and then to destroy the reactor.

Highwind - Skies of Northern Continent

Cloud stood on the deck of the ship, one foot on the short railing that surrounded it, wind whipping through his hair. This ship brought back memories: it was incredibly like the one he had flown on before he found himself washed up on the beach of the Northern Continent. He left his sword in the weapons lockers Cid had shown the group during the grand tour and stared out at the horizon. He could just pick out their target: a tall, ominous looking building blowing horrendous black smoke into the air. The familiar, eerie green glow that surrounded its core.

He hated these things with every fiber of his being.

[ooc] I might update this sometime tomorrow if nobody has posted yet. If they have, I'll just make it into a new post. I just didn't want to leave it without at least an opening post. =P [/ooc]

Xadako also stood on the deck, a little ways away from Cloud. She watched the ground below for a few minutes and suddenly got another flashback.

She was on the deck of another airship, again looking down. Near the ground, a giant scaled beast followed their shadow. It flew up right next to them and destroyed their ship with one mighty blow. She remembered falling, but not dying.

She shook away the memory. She thought to herself that some things should not be remembered, no matter how much one want to know about one's life. She looked over at her 'deckmate' then back at the ground. She considered recruiting him, but changed her mind.

He looks like he's too angry with them right now. I won't bring in anyone who's angry. Anger neutralizes good judgment.

Mao was inside, drinking heavily.

Joachim, also inside, was daydreaming of the day his teacher, The Great Gama, gave him the Mask of Question.

KaneInferno · (Thu May 24, 2007 1:06 pm)

Xan was on the bridge, staring out the huge glass window. Cid was piloting, and several people were rushing about, checking computers, and doing whatever these airship crewmen do.

He had just joined a war. He knew these people he were with were rebels. He never really thought about it, but he now realized that he had absolutely no idea why he had joined them. But for some reason, he knew in his heart that he should hate Shinra.

That thought tickled the back of his mind. Once again, his answers lie in a memory lost.

"Hey Xan!" Cid called from behind him. "We're coming up on the reactor. If your gonna go down there, I suggest you grab your parachute and get up to the deck!"

Xan nodded, and went to collect his gear. He had never done an air drop; this would be fun.

Iri - Phoenix River Inn

"He sure is taking his time," complained an irritated and impatient Payne. The group, sans Sky, was at a table near the door to the Inn. Payne had his gun back in his hand, most likely out of habit than necessity, and was staring at the door, leaning against one the wall near the table so as to be able to stand on his own.

Eden walked over to Payne. "I am sure Sir Strife will be back soon," she said, trying to comfort him. Payne wasn't one to sit still for long periods of time; it seemed as if there was a constant urgency in every one of his actions. Eden, however, was the exact opposite, wishing to take her time in each and every place they visited. Even though when she had first arrived in Astoloria her first visit had been to Iri, she still walked slowly everywhere, taking in the sights, the smells, and the air of the "village." It would irritate Payne to no end if it were anyone other than her, but it seemed that he was willing to forgive anything she did. Sky had wondered about their relationship in the past, but hadn't said anything to him. It was the kind of thing that would be incredibly awkward to talk to Payne about.

"You use 'soon' too loosely. He's been gone for hours," he argued. "What in god's name was so damn important that he had to--"

He was interrupted when he heard a familiar footstep coming in from the outside. He looked over from Eden to see Sky walking in through the doorway. He noticed that he didn't carry his sword anymore as he usually did. The Slasher was just as much a part of Sky as his body was, it seemed. It was very strange...

"Hmph," was all that Payne said before put his hand on his hip and looked at the ground. Eden wanted to say something to him, to scold him for his rudeness, but nothing came.

"Well," Sky finally said after he had made his way to the table, "we ready?"

"Y-Yes!" Eden exclaimed. "Sir Raven?" she asked, turning to the drastically changed boy they had met during a very trying time in the Capital. Payne still thought it weird of him to ask to be their bodyguard for a time, and he had told Eden of this, but for whatever reason Eden still trusted the boy. It bothered Payne, but he did not question her: she had the utmost authority in who she chose as her guardians, even if he were only a temporary one. He was, however, appalled that Sky insisted upon coming. Here was perhaps one of the world's most polished swordsman going to Iri temple with a beginner summoner. It wasn't even as if Iri was that dangerous: the monsters had been driven out ages ago and were never seen in town. Even the path to the temple was fiend-free. Yet, Sky had insisted upon coming to "polish my skill" as he put it. On what, Payne wondered.

Highwind - Skies of Northern Continent

The reactor was clearly visible now, and Cloud moved from his spot for the first time during the whole flight. It was show time. He quickly glanced over at Xadako, who had also been admiring the view he presumed. He walked to the door to the inside of the airship, but then turned back to Xadako.

"Looking forward to working with you," he said, and then turned through the doorway. He would get his equipment from the lockers inside the ship and then talk to Cid. The Highwind wasn't slowing down, so he assumed that they weren't going to land. It probably was a good decision, though not very power efficient. Landing the Highwind would take some time, and would alert the enemy to their presence. Even if it were only the enemies within the reactor, they surely had communications set up with the nearby base. They certainly couldn't take on the entire Shinra task force there on their own, so being as covert as possible was probably a good idea.

[ooc] Ah, finally back in my forte. The Iri scenes have been in the back burner of my mind for some time now, so they shouldn't suck. =P [/ooc]

KaneInferno · (Thu May 24, 2007 11:43 pm)

Xan was at the storage locker, fitting his fighting gloves to his hands. They were silver, with short spikes over the knuckles. The end of the gloves went back almost to the elbow, and the top side was covered in silver plates.

He didn't remember where he got them. He smirked at that thought. Of course he didn't remember. He flexed his hands, making sure the fit was right, then grabbed his chute. After checking all the harnesses, he was ready.

Xan sighed, closed his eyes, and leaned his head back. "Time to fly."

Yawgmoth · (Fri May 25, 2007 6:07 am)

Yawgmoth paced the Highwind at a pace that more resembled a jog or a light run than a walk, figiting endlessly with his sword and mentally going through his spells as he went. Ever Since Sky's briefing the night before there were only two things on his mind: the battle to come and, even more so, Sephiroth. The thought of battle (with Sephiroth or otherwise) always put him in a state of exhileration and this was no different, he was already feeling his on edge and senses were hightening to further extremes every second. This time though he was also worried, worried about Sephiroth and even to some extent the SOLDIERS, as he was still getting used to his new body and he had no idea how it would affect his spellcasting.........

Mirage · (Fri May 25, 2007 7:33 pm)

Raven stood at the end of the table from Eden and Payne as not to draw to much attention to himself. He didn't want Payne to turn on him. He fumbled with his gloves again, he could never get them just how he wanted. He heard loud footsteps from outside. He hoped it was Strife, he as taking his time. Payne wasn't enjoying the interval either. Finally the door flew open and there stood Sky Strife. Raven still managed to gasp slightly at the pure size of the blade Sky Strife used. It was magnificent.

He shook himself as soon as Eden addressed him, he avoided the eyes on him.

"I am ready whenever you are" He said under his breath.

?????

"So you have the targets located?"

"Yes, in fact, most of them are on their way now"

"Most of them?"

"Ah, the others are in the care of my associates"

"Hmph. If you are right about this, then this will surely put us on the upper hand on the rebels"

"Indeed, well?"

"You will get what you wish in all due time"

"Good, those fools will never no what hit them"

{Interpret this anyway you want. Sky PM me if you would be interested in a plot twist from yours truly}

Highwind (Weapon Locker) - Skies of Northern Continent

Cloud stood in front of the weapon's locker, making his last few preparations. He put his metal shoulder guards on and adjusted them once more: he wasn't planning on having to deal with too much close combat, but he had to be ready for at least some resistance when the guards saw the parachutes open up. He grabbed his sword and loaded it with Bolt and Cure materia before strapping it to his back. He grabbed his goggles that were pressed against his forehead and strapped them over his eyes. It shouldn't be too cold on the ground, but he knew that falling through the air here, which wasn't too far from Great Glacier, would sting the eyes. He had to make sure at least he was able to see; what the rest of the group did wasn't his concern. He quickly put the backpack on that contained the parachute and a few other supplies, and then walked back to the entrance to the deck. It wasn't his first jump, nor was it likely to be his last. Still, it made him kind of nervous: after seeing the cannons and guns that Mako 10 was outfitted with, and having a few close encounters on his Chocobo with them, he was in no hurry to get shot at again, especially while falling through the air.

Highwind - Deck

KOS-MOS stood by the railing looking at the reactor that drew closer and closer. They were at the drop zone now, and they were being instructed by the pilot to parachute down to the ground below a little ways away from the reactor to avoid being seen. KOS-MOS saw no need to attach a parachute from this altitude, and instead jumped onto the railing and let herself fall out of the plane. She transfered her twin Gatling guns to each hand as she fell, preparing to be the first at the reactor, guns blazing. She knew that her power reserves were incredibly limited, but she knew that she still had a much higher chance of survival going in alone that any of the humans did. She planned to take out the first wave for them, after that she would most likely collapse.

Highwind - Bridge

Daeva stood by the window, staring out at the reactor. He still wondered why he had survived, and why he had been chosen by KOS-MOS to be squad leader during the Storming mission. It still haunted him: his entire squad had basically been destroyed, and he had watched his best friend get killed right before his eyes. Io had yelled at him when he was sulking before they got on the Highwind, telling him that he couldn't move on if he kept blaming himself, but he did anyway. If he had only been stronger, or if Fortis had only been their squad leader, they could be at least ten soldiers stronger right now. He heard Cid yelling at some of the group to get their asses off of the plane, but he lingered at the window a bit more. He realized that Io and Dali would likely look to him as a leader during the mission. He couldn't take it.

"Daeva, let's go, man!" called Aeshma. Daeva didn't move from his spot. "You wanna drop down on the damn Mako guns, be my guest," he said. Still nothing. Aeshma wasn't one for comforting people, and Daeva was already getting on his nerves. "Dammit, Daeva, you're jumpin' off now! That damned hard-headed bitch won't jump off the Highwind without you, and I've got half the mind to--"

"Io is as much of a soldier as you are, Aeshma," Daeva interrupted, his voice dark.

"Woah, didn't mean to insult your girlfriend," Aeshma shot back, hoping to piss Daeva off enough to get him to jump.

"Who do you think you are?" Daeva yelled back, charging at Aeshma. He wanted to deck him so bad.

"I've half a mind to leave you two pansies behind!" yelled Ellen from the corridor. "You two argue like a married couple!"

Daeva angrily released Aeshma's shirt.

Ellen sighed. "If you two don't hurry up we're gonna botch this mission, and that'll really piss him off!"

Nobody wanted to deal with the rebel leader in a bad mood, so the three put their differences aside and strode to the weapons locker to get their equipment ready.

Iri - Phoenix River Inn

Raven seemed uncomfortable to Eden, but she didn't push the situation. Payne was probably making him nervous; he had a tendency to be incredibly cold.

"Well then," Eden said optimistically, "shall we?"

Sky nodded to her. "I went out of my way to find the path to the temple," he said. "We should be there in no time."

Sky turned and walked out the door. Eden started to follow, but suddenly stopped and walked over to Payne, placing his arm across her shoulders to help him walk. Payne was irritated at his own weakness, but everyone else kept telling him not to push himself too hard. Bah, he thought. I've done worse, why can't I get about on my own power?

He reluctantly rested his weight partially on Eden and they made their way carefully out the door.

Northern Crater-Entry Point

Kiyomi- "The mako Energy reading down there are extremely high in some areas, then non-existent in others. No wonder the fiend activity here is off the charts..."
Squatting upon the lip of the massive crater, Kiyomi spoke softly to herself as she waited for her team member's signal. However, she had a feeling it wouldn't be coming for quite some time. As the youngest and newest agent of Cell 7, it was her job to hang back and cover the rest of the team, as well as heal them when they're injured. Although, knowing her teammate Axl, the hot headed brawler, and her calm, collected, and ever mysterious team captain Levias; she knew they'd need no cover nor healing. They were just too good to be belittled of their skills! Letting out a long sigh, Kiyomi was just about to remove her pack and relax, when Levias came over the earpiece that each team member wore for communication.
Levias- "Kiyomi, medical assistance required immediately, engaged in a fight with numerous fiends and Axl is critically wounded!"
Somewhat shocked and glad at the same time; Kiyomi soaked up the information for a few seconds.
Levias- "Kiyomi?!"
Kiyomi- "Give me a 30 Second window, I'm on my way Levias."
Satisfied that her skills are needed, Kiyomi wasted no time in reaching her comrades. Standing up, she took a few steps back from the ledge; from which she was crouching upon, before taking a running leap straight out and over it. Soaring through the air, she passed through cloud after cloud on her descent to the bottom of the crater. Excited to see the crater bottom as well as the fiends it contains for the first time in her life, Kiyomi pointed her body straight towards the ground in an attempt to reach the ground faster. Passing through a few more clouds, she finally got a view of the crater floor, as well as the fight between Levias and the group of fiends before him, just 50 or so feet above the ground. Touching down just behind Levias, Kiyomi ignored the assaulting fiends and turned her full attention to a kneeling Axl. Casting Cure 3 on him, she stood by as he gradually regained his health.

Crater Floor
Levias- "Damn you Axl, you stubborn prick. You just had to draw attention huh?"
Thinking to himself, Levias held a group of high level drakes at bay as he awaited on Kiyomi's arrival. Just moments before, one of Levias' teammates Axl, foolishly engaged in a fight with four drakes all at the same time. Managing to strike down one of the fiends, Axl was attacked from behind by on of the other three. Quick to depend on his fellow agent, Levias attacked the drakes with his Rifle, striking down one more. Facing the last two, Levias called upon Kiyomi's assistance before engaging the fiends. Shooting one, Levias forced it to fall back several yards from it's kin, then he flanked the other and fired upon it. Proving swifter than the gun, the second drake dodged the spray of bullets, before closing two short distances between Levias and itself. Seeing the attempt of an attack, Levias dropped his gun to his side and drew his short sword all in one quick motion, whirling around, he brought the blade acrossed the beasts' throat as it approached him, dropping the beast where it stood. Turning on the last fiend, Levias resheathed his sword and brought his gun to the ready once more.
Levias- "Come on you damn Lizard, Bring it!"

Crater Floor
Axl- "This really sucks! Where are all the fiend when I need them?! I'm just itching for a fight right now..."
On the crater floor, Axl hefted stone and launched them as far as he could; while his team member Levias searched for their objective. Cell 7 was on a mission to recover a certain book which was lost several years before. However, they had been there for a few hours and hadn't found a thing. Bored out of his mind, he lifted another rock to throw, when he caught sight of something that thrilled him. Several yards away, a group of drakes appeared out of low hanging clouds within the crater. Without hesitation or thought, he drew his sword and charged the fiends head on. Unaware of their strength, Axl struck down one of the beasts swiftly. Turning to face the others, Axl was shocked to see the fiends upon him, even more to be struck by one. Looking at his chest, Axl winced at the sight of one of the drakes horn pierced through his chest.
Axl- "Oh Crap..."

[ooc] I have combined all three of your posts into one. Please do not double post unless absolutely necessary (for example, thread inactivity for several days can qualify for a double post). Instead, if you have something to add to your post, use the "Edit" button. I understand that each post was from a different character's point of view, but you can still contain it all within one post. [/ooc]

Lilith · (Sun May 27, 2007 6:26 pm)

Outside of Northern Crater-Entry Point

As Lilith walked towards the Northern Crater Entry, she had to remind herself of the task at hand.
Recently, she had been assigned of a mission to do alone.
Lilith knew she didn't like working with others when she could work with herself instead.
She wondered if the military realized this.
Lilith- "Hmmnn, I can see that this mission will be easier for me..."
She remembered that the mission was to observe a certain team that was also affiliated with T.E.R.R.A.
Lilith still wondered why she had to do so, alone.
She then realized that perhaps, it would seem less suspicious if there is only one person spying; rather than a whole group.
As she walked into the entry, she felt that the amount of mako level, had risen.
Being familiar with the place, Lilith knew where to walk, and where not to.
Most fiends tended to ignore her, or stay away.
After all, she has been here on numerous occasions, including when she was young.
As Lilith walked she made haste, but was cautious of her surroundings.
She made sure, not to be spotted by anyone who seemed "out of place".
While Lilith began to turn a corner, she heard a military leader of the name Raden speak over her communication ear piece.
Lilith went to a shadow, and spoke in response, making sure her voice was hushed.
Raden- "Lilith?? You must be careful!! The high level of mako may make things a bit harder for you. This will be the last time we can be in contact; until the mission is finished.
Lilith- "Raden?? I understand, but you must know, that this dose of mako energy wont make things as hard as you would think. I will complete this mission. Goodbye Raden."
Raden- "Wait... There is something you need to know!! I'm not supposed to tell you, but..."
Suddenly a loud variety of gun shots ring out over the system's speaker...
Followed by Raden screaming, and then static.
Lilith keeps her poise, but gets a bit upset.
Lilith- "Raden?? Raden?? Hello?"
The static cleared, and then the communication was dropped.
Lilith then removed her ear piece, and tried to stay on her task.
She knew she didn't make that much noise, but just to be sure... She was extra careful when going in and out of the shadows.
As she walked through tunnels, and such she heard a loud uproar of some sort. She assumed it was the sound of an assault rifle in the background of fighting.
Lilith could tell that she was getting close.
As she walked around in the shadows, she got rather close to 3 humans.
Lilith immediately spotted Levias, and studied him closely.
She realized that he looked as cold as she felt.
She was immediately intrigued by him.
Lilith began to check out his body type, his clothing, his attitude.
She did anything she could to remember his complete physical features...
She then saw a familiar face from T.E.R.R.A.
Lilith- "Oh my goodness, is that Kiyomi?!"
Lilith was surprised, but was still speaking quietly.
Lilith had been aware of Kiyomi's presence long ago, when she had met her while training to become a soldier. They had only been acquaintances, and Lilith knew Kiyomi wouldn't recognize her.
None the less, she sat there studying closely, yet cautiously so she wouldn't reveal her place.
Lilith was glad to see that she was doing well for the beginning of a mission.

Northern Crater-Crater Floor
Enraged by Levias' taunt, the last drake wasted no time and immediately charged at him. unintimidated by the beast barreling towards him, levias casually lifted his rifle to eye level and shot a few rounds at it's head. despite each bullet hitting it's mark, the drake didn't fall. in fact, it seemed to be uninjured, and even more enraged by the attack. throwing it's head high, the drake let out a mighty roar, not veering from it's path straight for levias. looking out of the corner of his eye to his right, levias could see axl was good and healthy once again. seeing he was once again drawing his broad sword, levias knew he wanted in on the fight. catching axls' eye, levias nodded to him as he lowered his rifle.
levias-" axl, you ready?"
axl-"born ready sir."
without another word, axl dashed at the still charging drake. looking at the beast that was finally upon him, moving to attack, levias hadn't flinched when the drake reared up on it's hind legs. instead he smiled. an vengeful axl collided with the drake, sending it crashing to the ground just a few feet away. not wasting anytime, axl closed the gap swiftly. as the drake attempted to regain it's footing, axl ruthlessly drove his sword through the beast up to the hilt. calling on his great strength, axl hefted his weapon and sung it overhead, sending the drake hurtling towards the night sky. seeing his que, levais darted towards axl. without question, axl disregarded the now airborne drake, and turned to his approaching captain. lowering his free hand, axl caught levias' foot as he stepped into it and hurled him straight up.
quickly coming up on the drake, levias cast fire 2 on the fiend, which was instantly incinerated. passing the fireball in mid-flight, levias reached his peak soon and fell back towards the crater floor. landing softly on the ground next to where the flaming drake crashed moments before, levias wasted no time calling axl and kiyomi to his attention.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
kiyomi-" well, thats was very interesting. nice teamwork you two..."
axl-"not this again. you were told before, you still don't have experience!"
kiyomi-" of course not, because you two won't let me fight!"
levias-" quiet, both of you. now, we had planned to avoid confrontation on this mission. however, axl's short temper has deemed that impossible.
axl-" sorry captain--"
levias-" so now that the fiends no we're here, we'll have to stay together. kiyomi--"
kiyomi-" yes captain--"
levias-" no more long range cover. you'll be taking point and leading us from a 10 yard distance."
kiyomi-" got it."
levias-" axl and i will search the are in a 5 yard radius as we move acrossed the crater. move out."
kiyomi & axl-" yes sir."
with no further words to be spoke, cell 7 moved out to continue there mission, to find an ancient book. starting out ahead of the rest of the team, kiyomi was anxious to take point. although curious as to why axl and levias let her lead when they just engaged four drakes and excluded her due to experience, she didn't argue it. she knew she'd get more experience away from the team. smiling to herself, kiyomi began to traverse the crater floor ever so gingerly, leaping acrossed rock formations that jutted up from the ground like a cat.
As the air around the group like thickened and the clouds grew more dense, kiyomi could tell they were reaching the center of the crater. she knew the fiends in the area were incredibly strong due to the mako throughout the crater, as well as the mako floating through the air. pulling out her oxygen mask from her pack, kiyomi held her position and contacted levais and axl about the conditions.
kiyomi-" hey guys, the mako is very heavy down here. we must be at the center of the crater. you might want to put your masks on."
levias-" thanks kiyomi. hold your postion, we'll be right there. how is the activity?"
kiyomi-" no visuals yet, but with this level of mako around here, there is bound to be some dangerous beasties."
levias-" copy that. we're on our way
as the radio went silent, kiyomi thought to take samples of the mako in the are while she awaited her teams arrival. pulling a few small viles from her pack, she filled them each with mako energy from a nearby pool.
kiyomi-" hmm, always good to have samples."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hearing the same message levias did, axl sheathed his massive sword, and pulled out his mask. lifting his rifle to the ready, he paused briefly before setting off, to speak with levias.
axl-" if we do happen to run into one of the fiends down there, do we engage them or do we avoid it?"
levias-" if it can be avoided, we'll do just that. however i doubt if we encounter any fiend down there, it'll be avoidable..."
finally pulling on his own mask, levias started out. enjoying levias' lasts words, axl gladly set out behind him, for the northern craters center.
the trip for levias and axl took a little longer than it had for kiyomi. the same rock formations that proved to be a breeze for her, were obviously a hassle for the other two. despite that, they made it to kiyomi shortly, finding her knelt near a mako pool. noticing them, she stood and began to speak, only to be silenced by levias.
kiyomi-" sir, i just collected--"
levias-" that book is close by."
kiyomi-" ???"
axl-" how do you know?"
levias-" thats how..."
pointing out towards the very center of the crater, levias aimed his finger at an enormous shadow looming in the dense clouds.dumbfounded by the size of the shadow, axl assumed it knew they were there.
axl-" if it noticed us, we'll have no choice but to fight. kiyomi, you hang back--"
levias-" no. it'll take all three of us to beat that thing."
holding there rifles at the ready, cell 7 would have engaged the behemoth first. unfortunately and surprisingly, it took the initiative and quickly moved in on them...

Yawgmoth · (Tue May 29, 2007 5:17 am)

As soon as he noticed that they were above their destination, Yawgmoth quickened his pace almost to a run and headed toward the weapons locker. The time that he had been on the Highwind had seemed like days or even weeks because of how anxious he was to see how his SOLDIER body would function in combat and now it would finally be over. When he finally got to the locker and saw the he group of rebels in front of him he sped up to an actual run, not willing to wait a second longer than he had to to exit the Highwind, and attempted to plow right through them.

Mirage · (Tue May 29, 2007 9:17 am)

Raven stood up an opened the door for Payne and Eden. He looked downwards as to avoid anyones eyes as usual, why was he so nervous. Something was strange and he couldn't put his finger on it. Maybe he was just nervous, then again, where was Ryune. He had suspected him since the incident at the Northen Capital. He pulled his robes off the floor as Payne and Eden walked past him as not to get them ripped. He waited for them to be fully outside and closed the door behind himself.

"Do you need a hand there Eden?" He asked still looking own.
