Damn it to hell! This is unforgivable!

[This was all too much for Saori to stay calm anymore. A large impact was left in a nearby wall by her fist. Maybe it was to snap the other heroes back to their current situation or the closest thing she could hit without the fear of being crystallized.

She wiped the stinging tears that threatened to appear. So much for being a hero. Even with the speed of a Master Monk, she dared not to move in for an attack.

She swore to herself to hunt down Palitutu, or Jessie, or whatever she wanted to call herself. Mortality and lack of goddess powers be damned, she will be found.]

We have to get out now!

[no1]

[ Following the imposter was a futile decision at best, as there was no way of stopping the cogs that had already begun to turn. The only course of action at their disposal was escaping the imminent explosion, as staying in the vicinity of the Crystal wasn't going to net them any new answers.

Among the wide variety of emotions displayed by the Heroes surrounding the boy, Ace's expression was a calm one, even if the thoughts racing through his mind did not mirror it in the slightest. Up until now, what he'd been collecting had been merely fragments of the story brought up by fellow warriors, hearing the actual culprit speak up made a lot of things finally fall in the place, even if the knowledge came way too late for them to make a difference. He nods at Saori. ]

Let's move! Despair won't get us anywhere now.

[unyieldingspirit]

[…from when they arrived. Just by being here-

She hears the others speaking, glancing their way for a moment, and turns back, reaching out. If she could tell, somehow, what's happening with the crystal-

But there's nothing.

She breathes out, shoulders shaking, and turns. All they- all she can do now- is try and get away, and hope for the best.]

Quickly, then. [and she moves, trying to push herself and forget, at least for now- until she can think about it, and try to deal with it. A Hero… what does that mean?]

[tacticallyminded]

Right! Let's go! Sirs!

[The Sergeant looks at Jade and Sephiroth.] I think we have to fall back. I don't know what we can do here, but unless there's something you see that I don't...

[shinrasfinest]

You're right.

[Sephiroth finally steps away from the edge of the void, a pyrefly winding it's way around his shoulders as if he'd disturbed it's flight path. Impossible to have done, but that was the effect. He turns to face Robin.]

Though, I doubt at this stage that it really would make any difference how far we were to get away.

[As ever, the expert at keeping his voice calm and easily stepping back into his role as commanding officer.]

[jadethenecromancer]

If Kalki couldn't find a way to stop this, I doubt we could either.

[Jade's gaze lingers on Sephiroth, though he refrains from asking about the odd moment at the edge of the pit. Now is not the time or place.]

Jessie clearly has some means of escape. If we can find it, we may be able to rescue just a few more citizens.

[He adjusts his glasses, his expression grim.] It's probably a fool's hope, but it's the only course of action that I can see. If anyone feels that's not worth the effort, they're free to sit here and twiddle their thumbs waiting for the end. I'd rather not.

[Without a further comment, Jade strides out of the room.]

[greenmagick]

[Terra enters just as soon as those around the scene begin to walk towards the door. She spots 'Jessie' as the tarutaru walks away from the building but she doesn't place the connection until she's staring at the strange room. Her eyes take in each person and the shared grim expressions painted across their features.

Her gaze them locks on Jack's still form and a soft gasp echoes from her lips as she steps towards him. She can't even begin to guess what's happened in here.]

[cantante]

[She can trust Jade to handle things from ahead of them, but the other heroes here who couldn't seem to move, seeing Luffy and Albel be encased by crystal as Terra fell into shock...

Yes, she was walking out of here and after those who still wanted to try, but not altogether quickly for how urgent the matter is. If she were to move so quickly, they might not hear it and there would be no point to even doing it.

The words of her song are more spaced and drawn out than they should be, and there was no guarantee she would make it through its entirety before the end came. But they might need that small comfort.]
