Wutai

[Sabaa Kerbasi]

She turned to the person who had just spoken up. SOmething WAS after them! If this group of obvious fighters was running from something (Especially an EX-SOLDIER) then it must be dangerous to others as well. "Some....thing?"

"All ex-soldiers back to Sinra?" She repeated back, why didn't she know about this. Was more than just a TURK...she was a personal escort to who she knew and would always know as the President. "I never knew about this...." She trailed off. She listened to the rest of his response to her; he was definently an ex-soldier. Her eyes narrowed,

"I could probably, I've done as much many times. You know how many people I've fought including EX-SOldiers? You know these babies on my wrists have carried enough charge to kill or stun everyone I've fought....You underestimate my skills. I fight in a way that I doubt you'v ever seen...." She said, smiling holding up her rwist and pulling up one sleeve so that they could see what she was talking about.

"You know, I don't even know WHAT i'm looking for, it could be someone, something, they really kept me in the dark on this. I'll join your group, mabye I will find what I'm looking for." She smiled, this time friendly, not snidely. She put her arms behind her back and stood, thinking for a second. "Well, what exactly will we be doing here?" She began to ask all of a sudden, "I mean; If I'm part of this group, I plan to donate all of my skills to benifit us. As long as your not doing anything to jepardize Shinra...." She said.

[Cluge of the Grey]

Brieze noted the electro-cuffs on her wrists. He had underestimated her. Those were the best in electrical incapactation technology he'd seen.

"Don't worry, unless Rufus sends a hitman after me, I've no intention to dethrone him from his place. We're going to the Wutaiian mind healers, I've been directed here due to some... disorders that trouble me."

Brieze signaled to the pilot, and he took off.

"Who... or what's following us, Axel?"

[Dûncariel is Dead.]

Listening was starting to get annoying. Not that Riaan was the type of person who just jumped into conversations, but this one really didn't seem to be going anywhere. Unless in circles counted as somewhere.

"Mm," he interjected, running his hand up and down the double barrel of his shotgun out of habit (or something...), "do tell."

[sithhunter]

Axel sighed and said "Allright have it your way cuz were out of time." Just as he said it a few white twisting writhling creatures appeard. "Now that you guys have got us into this mess were going to have to fight our way out." Axel summoned his alistars and they spun and landed in his hands.


((Here is a pic of axel for thoes who dont know him.))

[Cluge of the Grey]

Brieze focused on the creatures. Blowing them away would mean they'd harm someone else, so that wasn't an option. He wondered how deadly they are. Better to trust this man Raptor sent than to die finding out.

He drew his buster and charged one, but it side stepped his blow, and jabbed him in hte face with its arm. An electric current spread through his bones. His buster was a few feet in the ground, so he slid out his katana with his left hand backhanded and slit its throat. It backed off, and dissolved. Brieze jumped back to the rest of the group, Buster in right hand held high, katana in defensive stance back handed in his left.

[Sabaa Kerbasi]

"Holy...." Amara began, watching these...things...appear out of nowhere. She watched one of their group summoning these really interesting weapons (she had never seen before) and Breize do a head on charge. She kicked off her shoes and quickly rolled up her jacket sleeves. She also watched when he was hit hard, and slid back. Now she was concerened, he was EX-SOLDIER...this would not be easy for them. She was going to run to help him up, but he seemed to have another ace up his sleeve. She felt a little bit better when he whipped out a quite intimidating katana and slice into it's throat, causing it to dissolve. When he backed up, she took it as her cue.

She ran at blinding speed, doing an ariel roundoff, back handspring, and then a back flip which landed her on the other side of the creature. She then prepared to land a bonecrunching punch, when the creature got her good in the chest. She flew a few feet, before standing up, coughing violently. That hurt...badly. She felt as if she was hit by one of her own bracelets. She stumbled before continuing her assault, yelling with every hit.

She struck again, this time getting lucky, and got a few fast punches in. The thing seemed to be hurt by her weapons, but not as much as any person was. She rolled her eyes and exhaled before running and jumping, grabbing the creatures throat and using the momentum to swing around, take it's throat in her legs, and then using all her strength to twist it on to the floor. Then using alot of force she was able to break it's neck. Soon it dissolved as well, but there were more. She jumped back to where Breize was.

"That was too hard. Can we beat these?!" She asked, breathing hard. There was something though, about the way he fought, which brought back that feeling of recognition, like she'd seen that somewhere before. But she pushed those feelings back, and got into a fighting stance.

[Dûncariel is Dead.]

((I'm about to insert some totally random scenery. Because I assume the helicopter's already taken off, so I can't use that.... ))

"Hm."

Taking all of the running about as his cue to find cover or die violently, Riaan turned on his heel and took off toward an assortment of low buildings with gently sloping brick-colored roofs. He gauged his trajectory, swung his left arm (still gripping the shotgun) behind him for momentum, and leaped, right hand grasping a branch ten or so feet from the ground. Using the branch as a lever, he propelled himself upwards, and landed as lightly as possible on the lowest section of roofing in the area. Another moment and a glance over his shoulder to be sure of his direction saw him situated at an intersection of roof-peaks, with a good view of the battle below.

He swung the shotgun up, sighting with the barrel the nearest creature, allowed for wind speed (which wasn't particularly an issue, as there was no wind) and angle, leveled the barrel down a click, and fired twice. The echoes of the shot hit him before the original sound, and he had to blink before reaching into the lining of his jacket for another round, glancing down to check to see whether he had hit, or not.

One of the shots had taken the creature he was aiming at beneath the collarbone (or what he figured was the collarbone), and probably hit a lung. The second had hit it below the jaw, where Riaan figured its jugular should be. It seemed to work, wherever the jugular vein was. The creature defragmented, or whatever, and Riaan leapt to his feet again, moving swiftly to keep his trajectory from being pin-pointed.

The rounds were in the barrel by the time he reached the next roof, and he was already firing by the time he'd stopped. His third shot went wide, and only glanced off the creature's scapula ((which is a shoulder blade, in case you were wondering...)). Riaan swore roundly and pulled the trigger again before lunging into action, fingers searching for another round.

The thought crossed his mind that this was beginning to be a long day.

[sithhunter]

Axel sliced one and threw his other alistar into aonther, cought it then burned another to dust. "IF ya wana kill'em you do it fast and with a wepon!" Axel shouted over the comotion the attacked onther just as it was filled with buckshot. Axel yelled at him "Prefeable a fast bladed wepon!"

He chared again and flamed one and slit another "That's the thing with these." Axel yelled "You gotta move faster than them or they'll kill ya, got it memorized?" Axel stoped and saw that the rest of the guys were moping up the rest of them. Axel ran to join the rest of the fight.

[Cluge of the Grey]

Breize saw Amara go in, Riaan wnet off to snipe, and Axel go into the heat of it. He saw one focus on Brieze, and gave a smile with teeth that looked like some sort of zipper. He charged, sliced the area of its right arm, and it dodged easily, right into Brieze's Buster waiting for it to sidestep into it.

Amara came back.

"Stay close togther, don't let them seperate us. If we get seperated, whistle, and I'll be able to help out."

Brieze stood with his back to Amara, guarding her flank. Another one came up in front of him, smiling so wide, he swore its head would fall off. Brieze lifted the Buster above his head, gathered his energy, and thought, Birsingr. His sword glowed blue with magic, and he slammed it to the ground. A wave of blue energy blasted into the creature, and one behind it, decimationg both of them.

He suddendly felt responsible for Amara, having to guard her back. He realized it was his concioncse (sp?) telling him not to let anyone die if he could help it. He was a little frightened by remembering how he failed to protect Marene, and how he was unable to get her help in time.

A new feeling came over Brieze. Determination. He was not about to let anyone die while he had his swords. A creatrure came up, and he threw his katana at its foot, which hit the area, but the foot moved, and decapitated it with his Buster.

"Distract and react! That's what get them!"

He retireved his katana via wind manipulation, and regretted it. He hoped Amara didn't see his hair go white when he used his manipulative powers. That would blow his cover more than anything.

[sithhunter]

Axel fought untill the adrenile was pumping through his veins.Limit break He thoguht and looked around. There was a lot more of them now so now was the time to do it. HE hoverd in the air and surged all his power and around him huge beams of flame burst out from the ground untill it obscured the who block.

[Sabaa Kerbasi]

Amara laughed for a second, "I seem to do just fine without weapons!" She shouted back, before landing a hard kick on another of those mosters, a loud cracke resonating through the air. It soon dissapated.

"Stay close togther, don't let them seperate us. If we get seperated, whistle, and I'll be able to help out." Amara nodded, and soon she was watching his back, and him hers. She continued to fight alongside Breize, before she saw something that put her stomach in a knot. She saw his sword glow blue, and saw his attack kill two of those things at the same time...but the thing that stood out most was that his hair had changed to white for a short time. Her eyes opened wide.

"You...youre..." She began to say, but she couldn't finish. Memories began to fly through her mind. It was more like peices of memories, inturrupted with white flashes, strange sounds, and a high pitch beep. She couldn't peice them together...but the hair had driven these back into her head. Things she was not meant to remember. Things that also would explain her less than normal abilities now. Before she could gather her thoughts, she was hit hard and tackled by one of those creatures, it's face ordained with a grotesque smile. "Get off of me!" She yelled, using all her strength to try to pry it off of her, but it was too heavy in this position. She looked at her purse, repgretting that she'd kept her emergency weapon in there. She then tried to reach for it, she was so close.....

[Cluge of the Grey]

"You... you're..."

Brieze winced inwardly. He should have seen this coming.

He heard a thud of a human body falling, and he turned around. Amara was on the ground with one of those creatures on her. He had no chioce. She already knew.

He lifted the creature off her with his wind, and flew it into his katana. The creature dissapated, and others came, seeing his ally down. Brieze entered his "Realm," and began to slice the creatrues into pices, staying close to Amara, and keeping them away from her.

He knew he was in for a butt-chewing if he survived this.

[sithhunter]

With most of them destroyed axel attacked faster and swifter "We got'em on the run!" Though he knew these creatures
would not run to save there lives. So he kept fighting untill all the ones left he could see were getting shotguned or sliced, mutlated, and beat to death. "Well looks like these guys arent as wimpy as i first thought."

[Dûncariel is Dead.]

Riaan was in his element.

Only problem with that was that his element rather required ammo, and he was running drastically short. The last shotgun casing flew through the air, trailing a wisp of smoke, and disappeared below the roof. Riaan dropped the shotgun where he knew he'd remember it, and pulled his extra handgun from inside his jacket.

The spare can save your life. Never leave home without it, he thought as he pulled himself up onto another roof. The scene below seemed to be quieting down, if mayhem could be called quiet. A second passed as he apprised the situation and shrugged, then dropped down again to a lower level, then another, before leaping to the ground, barely feeling the gun kick in his hand as he squeezed the trigger.

His momentum from the jump carried him forward a few yards at nearly a sprint, and he was thankful that his reaction time was a bit above the rest of his averageness when one of the slithery things reared up in front of him. His bullet took it square between the eyes, and he hardly broke stride as he veered to the left to avoid colliding with the dissolving thing. Unfortunately, there's a law that says when an objects in motion in one direction, it's rather difficult for that object to switch directions without consequences.

So Riaan fell over, pulled a rather nifty little roll that he learned jumping from high places when he was smaller, and ended up on his feet. His breath was coming a bit short, but he caught himself about to laugh anyway. He shook his head and turned around, leveled his gun into the fray, and said "Whee."

[Sabaa Kerbasi]

"We got'em on the run!" She heard, and she saw another one of her allies jumping around and with surprisingly perfect acuraccy hitting every target he had. She also noticed that Breize had come to her aide, lifting the creature off of her with his sword, and cutting the others to ribbons, creating a barrier between the beasts and her.

After watching Breize make short work of the thing that had managed to pin her down, Amara regained her breath and composure, and stood on her feet, her shoulder a bit out of place. She winced as she jerked it back in place, and then got right back into the fray. She smiled for one second, after noticing their numbers begginging to dwindle. They would win this, or atleast she thought so. She ran full speed, at a pace unknown to even most SOLDIERS, and jumped over a monsters head, and turned around, and grabbed it and was able to body slam it over her head and into the ground, breaking it's neck and cracking it's skull, and putting her in the most uncomfortable back-bend of her life. She kicked into a back handspring and landed on her feet.

"And I thought this would be hard!" She yelled, laughing; athough a bit out of breath, and made her way to Breize. "I need to know...why do I know you...what are you doing to me? I can only remember chunks!" She said, still disoriented from the last time she tried to remember him.

[Cluge of the Grey]

Brieze looked around the now silent battle field. He felt the after effects of battle wear down on him. Remorse for the lives he had ended. He gave a silent prayer, hoping they find peace in the afterlife.

"I need to know...why do I know you...what are you doing to me? I can only remember chunks!"

Brieze looked over to Amara. He took a breath.

"I knew your parents before I was Ex-SOLDIER. They were some rank of Turks, and they were assigned to my case. I was to go to a small warehouse, and "Take Care" of some rouge scientists. But when I got there... I couldn't do it. I let them go, and returned to Shin-Ra. I reported my inability to finish my mission, so the peple who helped design and fund me decided there was a glitch in my construction, and needed to start over. Meaning the defected model had to be dissassembeld. When I heard of this, my self defense kicked in, desperate to escape."

His head sagged as the faces of those he killed that day flooded his mind. He cursed his perfect memory.

"The alarm was raised, and I was to be terminated, and they barred the place up. Your parents were leading a squad of 2nd Class SOLDIERs to take me down, but... they weren't strong enough... I begged your parents to let me past, telling them that my combat matirx would kick in to defend me if they resisted. They refused and... I did not desire your parents death. I did not desire anyone's death. But Shin-Ra was right about one thing. I am flawed. I had no control, and I am haunted by my actions. Since then I have learned subdue 95-XE and keep him in control... but that's no excuse."

His eyes burned, but no tears came to relieve the sensation. Rufus apparently didn't want his favorite weapons to be seen crying, so he just removed Brieze's tear ducts. He cursed under his breath. Why can't anything be simple?

[Sabaa Kerbasi]

Amara felt a sick feeling in her stomach, and felt the hot sting of tears running down her face. She could just stutter for a second. How could she? She just helped the very man who had killed her father and hurt her mother. She was confused, she was angry, she felt sick to her stomach.

"I just...you killed..." She stuttered, "My father....he was an EX SOLDIER...how could you?" She asked, trembling with anger. "I'm confused....how did I remember you...and why is it so painful to remember...." She said, feeling the familiar pain that seemed to drill into her brain whenever she tried to remember her past.

"You..." She began before feeling the pain and beggining to break down in tears. All she felt was grief and anger. Her parents might not beable to kill him, but she was sure with the skills she woke up with after that moment, that he would know he was in a fight atleast.

[Cluge of the Grey]

Memories flashed in his mind.

The SOLDIER charging, Buster sword raised, screaming at the top of his lungs. His instincts had taken over, using his katana to block the over head slash, and slamming his foot into his exposed midsection. He slammed against the wall, and Brieze used Birsingr, or the Wave runner, as others call it, to finish him.

Brieze shook himself out of the past.

"Shin-Ra considered me a threat to be eliminated, and my defense programming activated, and I hadn't learned to control it then. I my words are no excuse, and I deserve no forgiveness. I just want you to know... Every time I use my swords, I regret it. Even on that day. Do what you will, but I warn you, When I fight, I have little control over 95-XE. The reason I came here is to stop him."

[Sabaa Kerbasi]

Amara listened, still trembling with anger and sorrow. To stop him.../ She looked up at him, tears still running down her face. Then back at the battlefield, where all there was was debris and smoke, then back to him. "To stop HIM? It's a person?" She choked, fighting back more tears. She had fallen to her knees during her breakdown, and she had begun to stand up. "That's a big difference from trying to relax...but valid nonetheless." She said, a bit too matter of factly for someone who should be as upset as she was. "No your words are no excuse, but to be honest, I've never killed a person that I know of, normally a beat down is enough for them. But it still has been done, so words aren't going to undo that...no matter how much you regret it." She said, lowly. "But my mother always taught me to forgive others, and mabye stopping this 95-XE is your way of setting things right." She wiped her eyes with a hankerchief she had in her suitpocket.

"I will do what ever it takes to help you stop him, it, or what ever you want to call it." It was hard to say that; this was the man who killed her father and almost her mother. He was the cause of the misfortune in her life that followed. But if what he said was true, and he had almost no control of 95-XE, then then they needed to stop it before anything else like that could happen.

[sithhunter]

Axel looked over to breeze and the turk "Allright now that you guys have had your comfort talk can we go before more dusk's arive?"
