[That staircase was surely a test of patience, especially for one of his size when they had others with them, like Minako and Yuffie, who were smaller.

Comparatively the sense of open space spreading out from them on this floor is like a red truck in its difference. The fact that the torchlight doesn't reach very far into the room either, delivers a sense of unnerving. As they spread out, Sephiroth turns back towards the stairwell and shines a light onto the wall where one might expect a light switch to be.

Running the light along the wall it's not long before the elevator box comes into view.]

Has anyone engineer equipped? It might prove to make this quicker...

[Still, he's striding towards the elevator, with the intent to check out the generator anyway with the two soldiers flanking behind him by a few paces. If anything was to dive out of the darkness, there are plenty of eyes to see it.

That darkness though...]

[Kidd follows Sephiroth to the generator, not because she's watching out for him but because the device captures her interest. She's made a habit of learning about all the unfamiliar technology she comes across so that she's not left so far behind by the advancements beyond her own era.]

Afraid not.

[She moves to stand by the generator, giving it a good look over, but she's not about to mess with it herself.]

[Reactivating the generator turns out to be a fairly simple matter. The elevator emits a soft hum as it becomes operational again, and in just a few more seconds, the lights turn on and the Heroes can see the entire room.

The good news is that there are no legions of mechanical puppets coming to life anywhere in the room.

The bad news is that a hulking lump of metal that had appeared to be merely a part of the wall is now vibrating, causing dust to come cascading on the floor, and slowly starts rising, unfolding itself until it looms over the Heroes. Light flickers in the two small eyes at the top.

Emitting a low rumble, the Iron Giant finally reaches its full height and raises its enormous sword.]

Well, well. [Jade steps back and quickly casts Enlightenment on everyone.] This should be fun.

[shinrasfinest]

[Whereas most others might have been relieved to have the lights come on not to reveal a horde of enemies that particular good news has the edges of Sephiroth's nose flaring; he'd much prefer a fight against however many multitude of enemies rather than picking around in a dusty tower not knowing what's what.

Doesn't stop him from dragging his gaze across the vast space that has appeared before them as his eyes adjust and soon fixating on the Iron Giant as it unfolds itself from where it had been part of the wall nearby.

Enlightenment would have been his first call, as part Scholar, but Jade seems to have beaten him to it this time and so instead Sephiroth takes a couple of long, steady strides away from the generator so that he has ample room to unsheathe his katana. It's shorter than Masamune but he's long since learned the knack of re-adjusting his style for a shorter range.

Stretching out into a battle stance, Sephiroth only glimpses down the line of Heroes who might have formed to battle the Iron Giant, before launching a first-

Power Break - sings along the edge of his sword as he darts in for the first strike; even a glancing blow would lower the physical power, at least. Make it less of a risk for everyone.]
