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.

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.

"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..."

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.

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-"

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!

Perhaps something of Sephiroth had indeed rubbed off on this otherwise quiet and overly bookwormish moogle called Spencer. He had, for the most part, kept a cool head within the chaos going on all around them. Except in the few moments before he had lost the silver-topped Warrior-Dragoon. He had panicked at first but getting himself into a corner or getting hurt had happened to Spencer before, this time he'd stay out of the way.

He twitched his nose and returned Tempests' smile, flitting back into the air a few feet.

"Come on then, Kupo. Let's see what we can do."

Together they'd head to the Mognet office, where they might be able to help the other moogles and other fighters to defend it
