Protecting the Mognet Office - Terra's Moogle - Tempest

[greenmagick]

The little moogle flew fanatically through the air towards her destination. She hadn't ever thought that being a companion to a hero would land her in a situation like this but she supposed it only made sense. Terra had gone off to fight the fires spreading through the city so Tempest flies towards the Mognet office hoping that it was still intact and unharmed.

She zipped through the city tripping up any soldiers that she came across by speeding past their feet. Tempest didn't like fighting but she was going to protect the offices as best as she could.

And then another small bundle of fur zipped to the side of Tempest, moving her out of the way as a leg came out to kick at her. Dragging her a few yards before flinging her out of the street, out of the danger.

"What are you doing, Kupo! You're going to get hurt!" Spencer near-squealed at her, flitting beside her, it was quite an odd noise coming from a male moogle.

[greenmagick]

Tempest looked up at the little moogle who had joined her. She was sure that she had seen him around Aqures Ixen before now but she wasn't sure if he was with assigned to a hero or not since she was still new to Aqures. She steeled her nerves looking around the street now that she was away from the chaos it was a little easier to breath.

"I have to do something. Kupo.. The Mognet office is in trouble! She didn't like fighting but if she could slow people down.

[shinrasfinest]

"Of course it is Kupo! Everywhere is in trouble right now. Look around!" He flung his paws out in wide gestures as he exclaimed in front of Tempest.

Oh no, not one of those moogle that only looked specifically for the Mognet office and nothing else got much further than the end of their stubby noses. Though Spencer was very work-oriented, much like his Hero, he wasn't so naive enough to think that the whole world would be fine as long as the Mognet was still functioning. It was one of the reasons he'd been so proud to have been selected to be a companion to one of the first Heroes.

"And what can one mog do, Kupo?" He turned his head then, pushed his specs up closer to his face and then turned his nose up and behind him in the air. The Mognet Office wasn't so far away...and if they could get other Heroes or even some of the soldiers to come and defend it...

"Come on Kupo, we need to find us some Heroes..."

Protecting the Mognet Office / Spencer

[greenmagick]

Tempest knew that he was right but she had left Terra’s side telling her hero that she could help elsewhere. She didn’t know anything about war but wouldn’t it be better if this place was saved by those who lived here and not just some heroes who were taken from their homes? She was an idealist and she didn’t want to always be throwing Terra into harm’s way. She has had to fight more than a life time’s worth already.

”Can’t we do anything? We have some skills kupo! I told Terra that I would help too.”

Her hero was putting out the fires and she didn’t want to stop Terra from her efforts. ”We can at least guide people away? Or make sure they are safe.. kupo.. She felt tears forming at the corner of her eyes. She didn’t know the world was anything like this.

[shinrasfinest]

Spencer had wanted to stay by Sephiroth's side as he fought to hold one of the many front-lines trying to mitigate the endless waves of enemy forces from gaining too much of a foothold further into Esdham. However, as the fighting had gotten more intense it had become increasingly obvious that not only were Spencer having an issue in keeping up with his silver-haired Hero, said Hero was more capable on a battlefield than Spencer had imagined he would be. It was one thing for any of the Heroes brought here to claim to have adequate experience, but totally another to legitimately be able to live up to that claim.

If any of the Heroes could handle this, Sephiroth was the one as far as Spencer were concerned. As far as losing him in the chaos went, Sephiroth had urged Spencer to find somewhere to stay safe ever since they had been forced out of the barracks - and as always, Sephiroth was always right in the end. Spencer had automatically headed in the direction of the Mognet office, since it were naturally the safest place for moogles.

"One moogle can't save the World alone, Kupo!" He reached out a paw to reassure Tempest by way of a pat on the shoulder. He didn't like to see other girl-mogs upset but also it did seem, increasingly, that this particular moogle was out of her depth.

"Let's get to the Mognet office and see how we can help-"

Protecting the Mognet Office / Spencer

[greenmagick]

Tempest looked up at Spencer and wiped the small beads of water from her eyes. He was right of course that one moogle couldn't do very much alone but she never wanted to stop trying. Her whole life has been spent working within the Mognet office in the one little town she was born in, having the chance to help out a hero and see the world was one that she hadn't wanted to pass up but now she feels even more helpless watching Terra fight alone.

She sniffled once and then tried her best to smile at the helpful moogle by her side. "Your right. Kupo. If we can help.. we should."

Tempest fluttered her wings and then rose to her little feet smiling at Spencer's comfort. He was a nice moogle and she was happy to have met someone so wise in the waves of chaos that covered the city. "Lets go help, together. Kupo!

Protecting the Mognet Office - Tifa's Moogle - Kupow

[woman_of_strife]

Kupow had separated from his Mistress, fluttering with great speed towards the one place in the city that needed him the most. Brown wings carry him a great distance from where he'd left Tifa, looking across the distance he was closing upon to see the Mognet Office untouched and without fire.

What little skill in Martial Arts the Moogle had picked up, it was his resolve to see that he stand at the ready for his brethren, his fellow Moogles, at the hands of a fierce and furious enemy.

Standing upon his tiny legs, the creature bends down into a defensive stance as he calls out to the scampering employees of the letter-service.

"Stay inside the building and take cover! You're safer there so long as you stay inside! Leave the defense of this post to me-!!"

[thegreatninja]

Mooshoo had zipped away from Yuffie to check on the state of the Mognet office and leave his hero to her own devices. His age allowed him something of a talented hand when it came to basic combat skills but he hadn't expected another moogle to have the same idea or to so loudly call out to those around the offices main entrance. He guided some of the moogles into the office as well as some passerby's that hadn't been able to make it out of the city yet.

He lands next to Kupow with his arms crossed and an Indiana Jones aura around him. "You ready to protect this place then? With some many inside..."

Re: Protecting the Mognet Office - Tifa's Moogle - Kupow

[woman_of_strife]

Kupow grunts, taking a fighting pose as he flexes his tiny muscles to try and impose his presents on the unseen attackers.

"With my life! What sort of Moogle would I be if I didn't try and protect my own kin? I say bring on the hoards of soldiers! I'll show 'em that I've been hard at training with Miss Tifa!"

[thegreatninja]

Mooshoo shook his head with a smirk. To be young and rash again would be nice though he wasn't about to sit on the side lines either. He fluttered up into the air getting his wings ready for any attack. He could punch but he preferred to use his speed as an advantage during an attack.

"Lets see then." As they talk Mooshoo catches Soldiers and monsters wondering into view. He didn't like the idea of jumping into the fray and leaving the doors wide open to be attacked.

Re: Protecting the Mognet Office - Tifa's Moogle - Kupow

[woman_of_strife]

Kupow conjures up the mightiest of spits, making a rather crude sound as he summons the wad and spits it into his tiny paws. He claps them together, rubbing them so that his mitts are prepared for the vicious onslaught he was about to unleash upon the forces which loomed in the distance.

"We guard these doors with our lives! If we let a single one in, they're done for!"

A deep growl, as fangs finally bare for the first time in the Moogle's life echoes loudly as miniature feet make their stance into the ground.

"I am Kupow the Moogle! I'll slaughter any monster or man who hurts the innocent and tries to rob them of the freedoms that every creature deserves in this world!"

Protecting the Mognet Office - Tifa's Moogle - Kupow

[thegreatninja]

Mooshoo watched the clash of soldiers and monsters in front of them and grunted. It was entertaining to see the moogle to his right be so ready for the onslaught, with just the two of them guarding the door it was going to be tough.

He flexed his little paws waiting for the first soldier to approach the office. Before he could make it up the steps Mooshoo had jumped off into the air and kicked the soldier a few times before returning to the front steps.

Cloud hurried as quickly as he could down the street to the Mognet Office. When they landed, Mako had gone on ahead to check on his fellows while Cloud helped the civilians in need. When communications suddenly ceased, Cloud ran for the office for fear something happened.

Fortunately it seemed that while there were enough troops there to halt any outgoing flow, they had yet to enter the building. Spotting a moogle facing off against one soldier Cloud acted before he recognized the little creature, swinging his gunblade at the back of the Imperial. The soldier fell and the blonde turned to check on the moogle, "Are you alright?"

Re: Protecting the Mognet Office - Tifa's Moogle - Kupow

[woman_of_strife]

The pint-sized creature brushes the soot from his muzzle, snorting as he gives a nod of thanks to the familiar looking man.

"Thanks! There's so many of them here, I have no idea how we're going to stop them! Miss Tifa-.. Have you seen her? I know she went off in pursuit of that Airship up above, but I know she was also looking for a Mister Cloud!"

Re: Protecting the Mognet Office - Tifa's Moogle - Kupow

[neverfirstclass]

Cloud frowns at those words. None of them bode particularly well right now. "I'm Cloud." He glanced up at the airship. Was there any way to get up there? What was she planning to do?

His concern for Tifa weighed on him, but he couldn't just abandon this moogle either given the situation and his condition. "What's going on here? Do you need any help?"

Re: Protecting the Mognet Office - Tifa's Moogle - Kupow

[woman_of_strife]

The Moogle flexes what little muscle it can summon, grinning at the worried look given to him by the chosen hero.

"Peh! Just because I look small doesn't mean that I won't be a match for these goons! I've been training with Miss Tifa, so I can punch with the best of 'em, for sure-po!"

A momentary lapse in confidence strikes, the worried Moogle lowering his head to almost mimic the way his acquaintance feels. "Though, I hope Miss Tifa is doing okay. She just ran off a moment ago. You might be able to catch up with her before she gets to the Airship?"

Re: Protecting the Mognet Office - Tifa's Moogle - Kupow

[neverfirstclass]

Cloud turned from the moogle to look off in the distance. He couldn't see the airship from where they were but that didn't mean its presence wasn't felt. It was the center, the source of this invasion even if it wasn't in the city itself. He bit back a curse. They were cheating.

Cloud looked back to Kupow, ready to run once he got his answer. "You keep yourself safe. Tifa would be sad if you got hurt. Do you know how she's planning to get there?" Depending on her choices he might be able to catch up with her before she was too far out.

MIDNA

[fusedshadows]

Everywhere she turned there were moogles! Moogles, moogles and more moogles! If some heroes didn't get over here quickly, it was only a matter of time before the office was overrun with enemies. Midna hovered in the air, gliding through enemies alongside of Kulupa. It was thanks to her own companion's prowess that she had even been able to defend herself against the threats so far. And when she had seen the mognet office under attack... the look behind his shaggy-bangs had gotten the better of her.

She had long since activated her Mad Scientist ability, granting both she and him buffs for speed and agility, and all the other good things that came with it. "Watch out!" she called out to Kulupa, who narrowly avoided a swipe to the head. "Keh..." the imp cursed, landing on an Imperial Soldier's head, and propelling herself higher into the air. "I can't be watching you and fighting at the same time! Pay attention!"

Re: MIDNA

[not_most_days]

While Kidd was patrolling the city and taking out Imperials and helping citizens where she could, her moogle Bonnie had gone off to help defend the post office. What Kidd didn't know was that her moogle was so enamored with her hero that she had tried to emulate her.

With a cry of "Kupo!" a moogle wearing a pointed hood dropped down from a balcony, trying to stab a letter opener into the shoulder of the soldier. Unfortunately the blade hit the armor and snapped off at the hilt. "Oh no!"

[fusedshadows]

Just when Midna thought she could catch her breath, here was another moogle trying to play the part of a hero! It was with a low growl that the imp propelled herself forward, levitating in the air and accelerating at great speed -- and tumbling in the air, aiming a foot right at the soldier's head.

Lucky for her, her target was distracted enough for her hit to land, connecting right in the soldier's eye. Without missing a beat, Midna grasped the soldier's head, and leaned over with a sharp finger to poke his other eye, as he cried out in pain. Leaping off of him as he brought both hands to cover his face, the imp turned to the newly-arrived moogle, "Don't drop your guard!" she shouted, "It only gives them an opening! Come on, they need more help over there!"

[not_most_days]

Bonnie watched in awe as Midna moved and came to her rescue. It took a second after being scolded for her to remember that they were in such a dangerous situation. "Oh! Right...um....but what do I do? I broke my knife, kupo~"

She pouted as she held up the letter opener's handle, the broken blade now lost in the clutter on the floor. Still, she fluttered along after Midna wanting to help just as her Hero would, but also looked around for a new weapon to wield.

[fusedshadows]

"So find something else!" Midna shouted, flying wildly through the chaos and wreckage, avoiding being swatted at by foes along the way. She glanced back only once to make sure that the moogle was behind her, as the reached the main entrance.

The imp came to a sudden halt, throwing her hand out to the side to stop Bonnie from advancing further, trying to assess the situation as her eye swept the room. One of the larger shelving units caught her attention, "The front doors!" she pointed, "We have to bar them to prevent any more from coming in!"

[not_most_days]

By the time they reached the doors, Bonnie had found a new knife to use. It was heavier than the one she had before (though normal sized for a human), but she was able to flutter along holding it in both paws.

The doors. How were they going to block them. She looked back and forth between the door and the shelves, and then gave a happy flutter as she got an idea.

"I'll get them, kupo!" She flitted over to the shelving unit and wedged her knife in behind it. With a lot of flexing and pushing she started to work to tip it over. "Ngghhh! Move!"
