Men (and a Ninja Princess) on a mission

[jadethenecromancer]

Characters: Jade, Sparks, Yuffie
Where: Battlefield south of Esdham
When: May 24th
Summary: Jade is out on a quest for Jessie to capture an imperial Magitek Knight. He's joined by two Heroes who want to stick it to the Empire -- one who was invited, one who invited herself.
Warning: Battle times. More to be added as needed.


Jade peered over the cliff at the imperial campside down below. It was a routine mission, for the most part -- weed out imperial troops patrolling the border -- though Jessie's request added an extra challenge. They were to capture a Magitek Knight or an Illusionist alive for study.

And, as luck would have it, this patrol had a Magitek Knight accompanying it. Of course it had to be the harder of the two options.

Jade, now in the position of a Captain, signaled the Esdham privates into positions. They had enough men to deal with the small fry; that left him and his fellow Hero to take on the Knight.

"Well, this looks like fun. Ready for a little bout of fisticuffs, Sparks?"

Yuffie's direct attack on the Knight would give them a few more moments to attack before the armor would lay fire on them. Time to use more magic before he had to get closer and use some physical attacks. As soon as Yuffie jumped away, Sparks hit the armor with a Thunder Blade blast of electricity, to cause more grief on top of Jade's Thudaga spell.

After that, Sparks tried to make a break for it around to the side of the armor. He learned the lesson the hard way of being in the front of a Magitek Armor's firing range.

"My, such vigor," Jade commented idly as Yuffie disappeared into the chaos of imperial and Esdham soldiers. Oh well. So long as she lived up to her words, he couldn't complain.

The injured shoulder was giving the Magitek Knight some trouble, but the Armor was turning around. With Sparks running to one side, the machine guns aimed for what the Knight likely thought was an easier target -- at Jade, who was still standing quite still.

It never seemed to occur to them that a Hero in a Black Mage robe could also be a Master Dragoon, Jade thought as he leaped high into the air, easily avoiding the gunfire.
