Being as Sephiroth were inspecting the side of the giant mog with the Dark Light, when it turned towards them and spread that over-massive smile across it's face, it too brought a half-step back in a recoil from him. The torch turned off and returned to it's place on the side of his photon pack as Sephiroth returned the thrower to his belt. Crouching alongside the wall of the alleyway, his opposite hand lingered mere inches from where the hilt of his sword were positioned, thumbing the strap which would release it from it's down-diagonal position and into his hand.

"I guess so." He answered Ashelia, not for a moment phased by her sudden appearance. It was silently noted, how well she'd gotten skilled with the Psychic abilities though.

Though grateful for Haste as the effects rose up over him, he still hesitated to draw his sword. What use would running up to it's nearest foot and attacking it would grant?

It's not like there were anyone with any better ideas, and Zelda's spell wouldn't last forever -the hilt dropped suddenly to his grip and the steel sung as it was drawn. While Jade was left casting Firaga behind him Sephiroth used the extra speed granted to dash out of the alley, towards the nearest foot with everything he had. Launching himself forward and slashing with an Armor Break first -attempting to use the giant foot as a springboard to propel himself back post-strike- before launching again with Flame Tongue. Rinse and repeat with a large retreat afterwards so if there would be a retaliation he might have a better chance to dodge.

Hopefully somewhere in the middle of all of that, Jade's Firaga might meet it's mark.

[The Reaper? That didn't sound like a nice thing really? And if she did summon him then what exactly would happen to those who are more than likely following. Sure he had taken her so they would have time to plan before they could catch up, but nothing had sprung to his mind with what jobs he had. It seemed like the only option at the moment.]

What exactly would the Reaper do?

[iscursednomore]

I guess you have time mage equipped as well.

[Fai didn't have stop learnt yet instead he casts Haste on both himself and the other so that they could move quicker if needs be. He just hoped they could deal with it sooner.]

I'll try my best with help, however.

Open - Hospital Entrance

[makingfriends]

No--!

[He rounds on the other two with a glare, tensed with Keyblade held at the ready despite his injuries -- but even he knows that dashing forward would probably be suicidal as he is. He settles for casting Slow on them both, regarding Yuna in the corner of his eye only and speaking fast.]

How strong are they? Could we take 'em if they have their real powers?

[whereishe]

[Yuna isn't completely sure.]

He's a pet of mine. After we fought him, he's able to cast killing blows and sap health.

[It will at least be another body for the zombies to fight.

She can hear slow shambling down the hallway and realized that there might not be time to do anything else.]

Open - Hospital Entrance

[whereishe]

[Yuna shakes her head, her eyes on the pair. Yeul is almost defenseless normally but Caius is her protector and his power is that of a god.]

No.

[She groans and then pulls a whip from her side. She focuses on the black leather as she calls another pet. Black air swirls around her and then gathers in front of her creating a form that Ven might remember.

The Reaper stands between her and Caius.]

He'll hold Caius. Fight Yeul. [She points over to the young girl.] We might be able to handle one of them.

[Yuna then commands her daunting pet to attack feeling a tear roll down her cheek as she does.]

[iscursednomore]

[Fai had already moved to close the door and press himself up against it for the time being. He knew this would bind only a couple of minutes due to what magic they could use, but it was the least he could do if it gave the other time.]

I guess if we have to...kill them... Would that be the right term here? Then we will have to, so I say go for it.

[As much as deep down he wouldn't want to do that, he feels like they might not have much choice.]

Open - Hospital Entrance

[makingfriends]

[The sight of the Reaper makes Ven start -- but then he remembers what was said after that terrible fight and notes the whip. Beastmaster? Right. They'll be okay (on that front, at least).

Despite the scare, Ven takes a second to shoot Yuna a concerned glance, having noticed the shake in her voice and body before now -- and sees her face.]

Yunie...

[This man... he's important to her. If she's as reluctant to fight as Ven was just a little bit ago--]

If it gets too tough for you, go! I can keep 'em--

[Yeul casts one of those odd spells this time, and Ven's forced to leap aside. Furniture gets knocked about by the magic and he narrowly avoids getting clocked by a chair, sliding to a stop on the tile and immediately reversing direction to launch himself at her.

Like Sora, the girl's just a victim -- but Ven can't let that slow him down this time.]

[whereishe]

[Yuna nods feeling a chill run through her arms. She brought out her whip which helps her summons her pets. There is a black mist in the air that swirls in front of her and slowly forms the daunting cloaked figure.

It's hard to see her friends like this but she'd fight and set them free.]

Okay.

[She nods her head towards the door and the reaper slightly moves out to meet the zombie shambling down the halls.]

Open - Hospital Entrance

[whereishe]

[Yuna shakes her head at his concern. She doesn't want to but seeing her friends used for this only makes it worse.]

I've fought... [She feels a tremble run through her as she tries to focus.] ...my friends before. I won't let them be used like this.

[Another tear falls down her cheek as the reaper silently moves forward, his hand reaching out towards Caius as it casts.]

Ven!

[She turns as the furniture is thrown about. While Caius is occupied she might be able to help.]

[nosferatanking]

[Morgan nods in response. He'd assumed that the attack was a way to weaken the heroes, but the possibility of it being a distraction hadn't crossed his mind.]

[Looking around the observatory, he was starting to feel that Robin was right.]

Y'know, there are a lot of us gathered here. I think you might be right.

[iscursednomore]

[The moment the thing was summoned he had opened the door and stepped back. He knew at this point the only help he can be was being the Time Mage portion of his abilities and that was to use Haste of Yuna and Slow on the others when he saw them again since he knew by now that would have worn off.]

[whereishe]

[Yuna smiles at Fai stepping up next to him as the reaper approached Caius.]

He should be able to handle Caius. I'll be focusing on healing him and trying to distract the other.

[She pauses, looking a little nervous. It hurt but this isn't the time for her to regard her heart. She lightly kisses Fai on the cheek before pulling away.]

You'll stay safe right?

[The fight isn't over yet.]

[fearlessherosheart]

And Paladin.

{Though that was a bit more obvious, given the armor]

[The possessed Loki unleashed his magical attack, at Tazendra, who managed to barely dodge it. She unleashed her own Shock sword magic on him, but the dodge had thrown off her aim that it was a grazing blow]

[thegreatninja]

Yuffie looked over at the kitty girl with a quick glance.

"If you see him up there. I'm staying here." She'll keep a look out in front of the observatory and she wasn't really looking for company.

[thegreatninja]

[Yuffie doesn't look behind her, she already knows that something is there. She leans forward wrapping her arms around Manami and then teleporting them both down one flight of stairs. The zombie however seems drawn to Yuffie.]

Damn... it's going to keep following me.

[She smiles at Manami and then slowly stands. He'd saved her though they still aren't out of the fire yet.]

You run. I'll keep fighting.

[Yuffie straps the potion to her side intending to use it later. She's hurt but she can still fight.]

[goddessofthesky]

"The loftwings are a gift from the goddess. She has been with me since I was very young." Zelda nodded before letting her gaze look towards the darkening sky.

"The sky is darkening. It's almost time."

[goddessofthesky]

"Graham!"

Zelda tossed the rope up and her loftwing took it in it's beak as she jump on and after Garham. She didn't want him to hurt himself and with a quick click of her tongue they were off flying through the sky and currently after Graham to make sure that he was okay after jumping from the airship.

[tacticallyminded]

They were zombies in my world. Quiet and deathless, somewhat like these ghosts.

[tacticallyminded]

Mm. But it could be an attack, too. It's hard to know.

[She frowns.] We don't know if -- should Palitutu be involved -- she unleashed these or controls them.

[zodiac_brave]

Ramza considered Rukia and Robin's ideas.

"We cannot control the weather to our advantage, but we can create flames. An incendiary attack may be our best course, if your weapons have no effect."

He looked around to see which building was most likely to have a woodpile to borrow. "A catapult would be most welcome," he murmured as he looked around. Otherwise, the furthest they could reach would likely be the creature's feet.

[damn_juicebox]

"As long as there's no risk of setting the entire town ablaze," Rukia conceded, and eased up on her attack. She'd already shot at it plenty, and it wasn't slowing. She knew they didn't have time to construct a catapult. She wasn't even sure how much would they could gather before it reached their position. They might be able to block one road, but which one?

"I have the mid-level fire and water spells at our disposal," she offered. "I could also attempt to poison it."

But she was loathe to do that in case some hero decided to try eating the thing.

"Do you know if the Crystal of Fire has the ability to amplify magic flames? That might be of use," she suggested.

Re: Zelda - OPEN

[aero_dienamic]

"Indeed. Did you have a plan for this or simply... act as best you can?" she inquires. She didn't have one herself, but at least despite not having her typical jobs at hand, she was prepared, and knew what she could do besides float and bring people to their knees in but a moment's notice.

"Should I keep Kukaze with you in case you need to withdraw?" And now she takes the place of the bird in worrying for the girl.

[tacticallyminded]

"If we can either acquire or make a catapult, that might help," Robin ventured. "But... mm."

She trailed off, hesitating. Catapults aren't in large supply. Then, however, she had an idea. She turned and looked. "Wait! The reconstruction, it's left a number of cranes," she said. "We could use one to swing a burning log into it!"

Then, she turned and looked at Rukia. "I don't know, but it may be worth trying, right?" she asked. "You could try a spell."

[unetoned]

Need some more Aero spells, huh?

No, we can't lock it down completely. [He's glad Minato is on the same page as he was. Besides the Heroes who ventured in, there could be survivors from the hospital staff and visitors, the people Billy worked with every day. He can't abandon them if there's a chance they're still alive.]

I know where all the exits are. We can block the back and side entrances. Everyone left will have to come out of the main entrance, and whoever stays here can help the survivors and contain the enemy. [He's got the tone of voice that suggests he'll do it with help, or without.]

Some of you can hunt down the escapees or evacuate the people to the 11th District. [It seemed the safest place to direct them, away from the marshmallow moogle and from the zombie Heroes. That's his two cents on the matter, though with the Heroes' track record for going off half-cocked, he's prepared to do as much as he can on his own.]
