Angeal turned away to hide the smile on his face. It was nice to see that Zack's own 'student' had turned into a good person, one that others looked up to.

"Well if he's the leader, I'm sure he understands the importance of showing up when he's needed." It was nice to know that the Buster Sword would go with someone that was respected and honoured. For one of the few times while he'd been here, Angeal felt something of a small sense of peace.

[In the wake of that attack, it felt like Ven had been thrown full force into a brick wall. Everything hurt, catching his breath was far too difficult, and simply standing up took way longer than it should have. He managed, using his Keyblade partially as a crutch; his face had met the street more than once during that tumble, leaving him with a number of open scrapes and scratches, and he could feel blood trickling down the back of his neck. The tears in his armor were nearly skindeep, and he'd lost one spaulder in there somewhere.

Something was definitely magnifying Sora's powers. Ragnarok was a strong move, no doubt, but not like that.]

N-No way! We'll both go!

[He didn't stop to think how that would be possible; there was just no way he could leave Ira to face this -- and probably die -- alone.]

You're no match for him like this!

That might be true but unlike those who fought the loftwing mostly had it's speed which couldn't be used in the small space. Zelda sighed softly while the bird happily ate up the treat. It nudged under Zelda's arm as if to share but Zelda shook her head.

"It's all yours." She smiled and the bird quickly finished the cookie.

Zelda looked over at K'pandolu. "Thank you."

Yuffie almost rolled her eyes. She looked up at Angeal, her lips no exactly betraying how she felt about the current Cloud. "He's not a leader yet. He will be though. Right now he's just a kid." Younger than Yuffie even.

"He's just... still himself.... you know?"

She squinted wondering if that made any sort of sense.

[Manami grimaces once he sees her condition. What happened? He takes a vial of potion from the pouch at his side and hands it to her with an unusually serious and pale expression on his face. Drink it.]

Then let's get out of here together, Yuffie-san. [As if his face can't bear being without some sort of smile, he smiles wanly as he explains,] I just kinda followed you, because it looked like you knew what you were doing. Are you done here?

Angeal nodded. "It's good to know who he becomes." And of course carrying the legacy of e Buster sword to be wielded by a man of honour was definitely a plus in Angeal's mind.

"So are you waiting here for him?" And if that was so, Angeal would wait with her, though this wasn't how he thought he'd be spending this holiday. Honestly he thought he'd be spending it baking pumpkin pies and carving more jack o' lanterns and the like.

"This one's for her, if you're concerned," K'pandolu told the loftwing, holding the cookie up before holding it out to Zelda. "I have a few more, if you'd like- seems the ghosts put more than a few off their seasonal spirits."

She shifted a little, ears flicking, and nodded, a smile on her face. "You're welcome. It seemed the least I could do."

[He could admit that some worlds it might be the case, his included due t the fact it was connected to his eyes and taking even one away could kill him, but he still didn't think it was the same for every world. But for now, he figured they should move as he could see another cursed hero coming and that was one he didn't want to confront when there were two others.]

You make it sound like your manipulating lives by saying it's life and energy that you use and malipulate. I know that isn't what you mean, but... never mind we best get moving since I was being followed by another and I would rather face them one at a time.

[He had some idea as he picked up Yuna bridal style as he soon started to head off towards a direction, knowing that at least one of them would catch up as soon as Slow stops working. Turning a corner and heading down he soon turned into a room before placing her down.]

Now all we can do is prepare and wait. One of them will come soon.

Tsubomi was WAY in over her head. A fight like this, she should be Cure Blossom, tearing through her opponents as a hero. But in her job combination of Pirate/Ghostbuster? It almost seemed like a death sentence.

And despite the please from her Moogle and fairy companion, she went out there, intending on pull civilians and injured out of the line of fire. Using the skills "Black Flag" and "Rope's End", she intended of swinging from one end to the next to rescue those trapped while trying to lure the Moogle King away.

Probably wouldn't work, but...!

TERRE-YAH!

[Sorry, Sheena, you're gonna hafta watch as a certain blue hedgehog comes out of nowhere, landing on Seles' head and push off, kicking her back and landing nearby you.]

Someone really screwed up here!

Ashelia materialized out of thin air just behind the trio. Her face was flushed, but she wasn't breathing very heavily. With her eyes covered by her visor it was hard to gauge how she was faring overall - until she looked up and saw the giant king looking down at them with that smile. She recoiled sharply, floating backwards a few feet.

"Well, that is certainly unnerving." She frowned, biting her lip in thought. "I came to see how you fare, but that question has been answered." She looked at Zelda, nodding. "You said fire, yes, and holy attacks?"

"Sugar? What are you-- No, nevermind. Of course it's made of sugar."

Jade jumped back as soon as the staff came swinging down, momentarily stumbling from the ensuing tremors. At least the distraction attempt was successful -- though now they had a giant Moogle giving them far too benevolent a smile. Jade was quite familiar with those, having given a few of them himself.

He didn't voice his thoughts on Cloud. Even if the young man was in there somewhere, they had a much bigger problem on their hands.

Ashelia's sudden appearance was a welcome one. She seemed to have a knack for showing up whenever Jade was in trouble. "Fire ought to do, I think. I've always been curious about roasted Moogle," he said, smiling grimly. He was no expert on confectionery, but he'd done his turns cooking for his party in Auldrant. He knew how things like sugar and gelatin reacted to high temperatures.

How well could a Moogle King walk, he wondered while preparing to cast Firaga, if its feet turned into caramel?

Ales watched his crew members as they planned together. "If you're thinking of going along with his idea, better get ready now." Moggle Mog's puffy face loomed ever closer. It was focused on reaching the Temple of Fire, perhaps it hadn't noticed the airship, but it would only be a manner of time before it did.

"I'll turning the ship behind it's head! Get ready!"

[Yuffie takes the potion but just holds it at her side for the moment. There isn't time to worry about her wounds and she doesn't know how much the potion will really help.]

Those in crystal stasis are walking around like zombies! [As if that explains why it's stupid that he followed her.] Done here?! They're killing everyone!

[She can't just leave even if she's at her limit she wants to help. What Yuffie doesn't expect is the lumbering figure that's standing behind her now. The smooth flow of his long coat as his dark eyes fixed on Yuffie. A hand reaches out slowly aiming to grab Yuffie's shoulder as by the one winged angel; Genesis.]

Yuffie crossed her arms over her chest. "Yes." She would wait until he came.

She didn't really see anything good about this time of year. Last year she spent the night fighting Tifa and since then their relationship had been rocky at best. She didn't really want to loss anymore friends.

"You can go inside." She gestured towards the old observatory.

[Yuna grimaces and it isn't from the pain. Her magic, summoners magic, is playing with the souls of the dead. Chaos is very similar. It isn't a magic she's continued to practice until Ruby City. She's a little nervous to bring it up again but she has a feeling that it might.]

Wait.

[She isn't able to stop him as he sweeps her up into his arm. Her gun rests on her lap while one arm grabs for his shirt. It hurts a little, her back is more than a little bruised.]

I have one thing that might help.

[Yuna looks up at Fai as her feet lightly press against the ground.]

I can summon the Reaper.

Zelda took the offered cookie and smiled. She wasn't expecting sweets today. Skyloft had the harvest festival but they didn't have anything like Halloween and they didn't have candy. At least not the same sugary sweets they had in Crystallis.

"Thank you." Before nibbling on the treat she looked up at her loftwing. "See, I'm in good hands. You go."

She patted the birds neck gently before pushing it towards the opening that lead to the sky. "Go." It hopped a few times before spreading it's wings.

[Tazendra wouldn't normally ask for help. Help would imply that she was unable to handle things on her own. But her own personal honor meant that even if she couldn't stop the bodies of the fallen Heroes, she had to stop her friends. And she'd rather ask for help than break her word, even by omission.]

Yes. Both are known to me; the shorter one was a sorcerer of some skill. The taller is a warrior, wiht little magical training.

{it is worth noting that Tazendra's definition of shorter is still pretty tall; Aerich was around her height, at well above seven feet. Loki was more typical of height for a man who looked like a baseline human.]

[And, indeed, the taller one was closing with her, seemingly unarmed, which Tazendra didn't trust, while the shorter one stood back, casting some kind of dark spell. Tazendra had her own blade out, but was being uncharacteristically reticent to start attacking. Instead she cast a Stop spell on him.]

Bide, my friend. I have business elsewhere.

Her bird flapped moving her out of the path of the giant marshmallow mog. The blue loftwing made annoyed squawk at the creature before moving closer to the group.

Zelda nodded to Jade, her fingers moving out to the side as she began to cast. A red clock speedily clicked around Jade, then Sephiroth, then Ashelia as she casted haste on the party.

She could help search for Cloud but Zelda wanted to make sure each group was prepared to fight and healthy. Her loftwing gave her enough mobility to get around easily.

[Nanami had been planning on staying home tonight. The zombies and general chaos meant she had quickly made other plans. and she'd had the Ghostbuster job equipped for helping out Zelda...]

Why? Do you normally do things you're told not to do just because there's a giant candy Moogle trying to destroy the city and also crystalized Heroes trying to kill us?

[She'd looked around at that. Good. No Anthy.]

[You... are supposed to drink that, not hold it...

He gives a start- like zombies? In a flash he remembers the dream where he'd been Fukotomi-senpai, fighting crystal zombie-like people...

And then a shadow looms up from behind Yuffie. Manami is shocked into stillness for a long moment- even in the dim light he can see the unnatural paleness of the skin and vacant expression.
Zombie-!

Like ghosts, they are only not scary if they aren't real.

As the man's hand reaches out to take Yuffie's shoulder, Manami raises his spear with a strangled shout.]

Yaaa-!

[He thrusts his spear past Yuffie and takes takes the man in the side, but he merely pauses and turns his gaze down to Manami, his eyes lighting with an eerie purple glow. Wincing, Manami pulls his spear free and quickly says to Yuffie,]

Let's use vanish! Run!

[From their sparring match, he knows she can move in an instant like he can. That will be their best chance to get away.
Even if the zombies are killing - or have killed - everyone here, the two of them can't stop the number of people that were-- had been in crystal stasis. Plus, this guy looks strong...]

An idea strikes Graham, and he points dramatically at Zelda. "That's it! Your bird takes one end and I'll take the other. We'll go round and round and round and round until the thing can't move its feet! I'll meet you at the bottom!"

And with that, Graham takes a running start and launches himself off the airship towards the nearest rooftop. It's not exactly a short way down.

K'pandolu had associated the Eorzean equivalent, All Saints' Wake, with treats- and certainly also some amount of spooks, though not to the degree Crystallis had displayed. The cookies she'd baked herself, though, as much to take her mind off matters for even a short time as anything else.

She watched the loftwing depart, tail waving slightly. "She's incredible," she said, turning back to Zelda. "Is she from your world?"

K'pandolu paused, on the way past. She didn't hold much fondness for Yuffie, but Cloud…

"I can keep an eye out for him," she offered, tail flicking.

Oh?

[K'pandolu steps up beside her, looking the same way for a little while before she glances back at Robin.]

Can you pin down that feeling at all?
