"My first assault on a reactor?" She checked her materia and weapon. "Most definitely. However, I have reveiwed the schematics thoroughly. We'll be fine." Illina bristled with confidence. She was going to make the Shinra suffer.
(Downtown Combat)
Atticus ducked behind a wall and swallowed a potion. He cursed at himself for his lack of foresight. He popped his head around a corner only to be narrowly missed by a spray of bullets from the MP.
========== Results: Atticus = Item: Potion (100 hp to Atticus) MP B = Attack: Machine Gun (Miss)
Cocking her head the side, Juri 'hmm'ed as the other woman spoke. She did not seem to get the question; must be her rustiness kicking in... "That’s... That’s not... Really what I meant. I was wondering where all the guards were? This is the primary Mako Reactor for the Junon area. So, where-"
Juri shook her head, cutting herself off. She felt a tad weary from saying so much at once. How can I be tired from talking? I guess I haven't really talked much since then, but...
She leaned against the wall, falling back into silence. At least this Illina seems to be zealous enough...
With that boost of energy as well as the satisfaction of watching his wounds heal. He stood back up and took a deep breath as he looked around to try and figure out where those other people where. He needed to get to them, a lone mage couldn't really hold his own against people with large guns. He listened abit closer and tore up the first set of stairs he saw trying to get to these people.
"HEY! HALT TERRORIST!!" The MP that Atticus had been fighting shouted down the road. He leveled his barrel and opened fire again, but the mage was too far out of his range.
(Junon Reactor)
Finally, the machine pulled to a stop at the floor that had been designated the location of the Memory Room; Three floors below the sea floor. The doors on the elevator slid aside, and the party stood face to face with an imposing looking SOLDIER, who reached up with his left hand and fluidly pulled his helmet off, sending a cascade of honey-blonde hair spilling over his shoulders. His eyes had the livid, living hue of the Mako-touched, and as the party watched, they slowly changed from a deep, placid blue to the mottled, angry green of a stormy sea.
"Tch... I come home for a nice, relaxing vacation and this is what I get," he muttered in the clipped, biting accent of Junon, then fixed Illina with a steely glare, his Mako eyes rippling green-black, and gave a precise bow that belonged in a court of bygone days. "Major Royce Knecht, SOLDIER First Class, formerly of the 2nd Junon Irregulars," he intoned as he straightened.
Rage flashed briefly across his face. "You've turned my hometown into a battlefront for your petty little crusade, you worthless bitch." He spat at her feet, raised his sabre and tucked his left hand into the small of his back in an obviously well-used ready stance. "To stop you is my duty. To kill you... will be a pleasure."
Atticus, panting heavily continued to tear up the stairs, searching for anyone that could have been with the mercs that invaded the reactor. The MP was no doubt doing one of two things, calling reinforcements, or pushing faster and faster to catch up. He knew how Shinra millitary was. If you even thought about contradicting their leader though word or action, they would be happy to fill your being full of hot lead.
He couldn't get caught, he had to find people to help in his quest for vengence. Saito wouldn't die for nothing. If he had his way he would have Shinra's beating heart in his hand before the year was out.
"hey boss woman! are you going to take that from him? he doesnt look all that bad. i bet you could take him by yourself if you wanted to boss woman." maylin kept her gaze on the man infront of her the whole time she threw out the taunt. she also got into position to fight the man infront of them.
((ooc: she is goin to steal after the other two do something. to try and chatch the guy off gaurd.))
"You think that you can tell us apart? Many have tried, but then again, many have failed. What do you think the price for that is?" The Three Sisters Lylie-governess to a child of the first plain "You grew up. Thats a shame. The carousel never stops turning. You cant get off either. Its a shame."
Upon seeing Major Knecht, Juri’s eyes light up, a small smile coming to her face. “Oh-ho-ho! I was wondering when we were going to run into one of you glory boys!” Juri drew her Eepee and stepped to the side, blade low and ready. Lets just see… Lets just see the power of your SOLDIERS, Mr. President…
“Redemption comes quickly for us all, Major Knecht. Shall we see what her decision will be as to your final fate?” As she slowly paced back and fourth like a caged animal, Juri’s eyes flashed yellow, in time with Sense orb on her wrist.
((Juri is going to attempt to use her Sense Materia, when she gets the chance. I don’t know if combat has actually started, yet, or if we are just in the pre-combat trash-talking phase right now, though.))
Illina drew her blade and readied herself to fight. She stared down the SOLDIER and called out. "Let's talk about who's ruining Junon. It was you ShinRa's who caused the death of thousands when Weapon attacked. How can you protect that which you cause to be destroyed?" She glared at her opponent. "Don't answer that, because there is nothing left that is truth in ShinRa anymore. Prepare to answer for your employer's sins!" Raising her sword over her head, she rushed into battle.
======== Results: Illina = Attack (43 damage to Royce) Royce = Attack (65 damage to Illina) POISONED! Juri = Sense (Level 8 - HP: 264 - MP: 62) Maylin = Steal (Couldn't steal anything...) Round 2! ========
(Junon Rooftops)
A body falls past Atticus. Garbed in SOLDIER attire, he could only assume that there were Junon Guards up topside. Gunfire tore into the daytime air, and another body landed at an unnatural angle on the fire escape ladder in front of the Mage. Even glancing showed him that bodies did not survive being bent at these angles. This corpse wore the blue of the enlisted ranks of the ShinRa military machine. Apparently, the Guards were winning.

Seeing her opponent swing in for a strike, Juri narrowed her eyes as her Sense materia faded. Hmm... Not as weak as I first thought...
"Well, well... A tough one, eh? Time for me to go all out..."
Holding her thin blade up vertical across her body, Juri focused her thoughts through the other golden materia orb on her wrist, this one with a much colder hue then her Sense orb. A swirl of bruised purple energy spun slowly in the orb, quickly picking up speed as an accompanying swirl appeared in her open right hand.
She smiled, a small drop of blood appearing from her bottom lip. Try some of this! Stepping forward, she spread her hand out in an arc around her as the dark wave of energy flowed forth, covering the SOLDIER and flowing harmlessly over her comrades.
((Dark Wave Command attack, 55 points of damage by my count. I have no idea how much damage that does to Juri, nor am I sure what the hit % of the attack is.))
damn these guys are hard to still from. maylin gets ready for another attempt to steal from the guy. "so boss lady whats your take on him? misguided or just a misfit?"
"You think that you can tell us apart? Many have tried, but then again, many have failed. What do you think the price for that is?" The Three Sisters Lylie-governess to a child of the first plain "You grew up. Thats a shame. The carousel never stops turning. You cant get off either. Its a shame."
Illina winced as the poison continued to course through her veins. Bringing her blade down upon Royce's should, the SOLDIER seemed to take the blow and keep rolling.
Illina prepared for what was certain to be another dose of that poisoned blade of his when the blonde haired man suddenly whipped out a Hi Potion and downed it.
As this happened, Illina suddenly spasmed as the poison made a pass through her system. She felt a pang of nausea in her spinning head, but she manage to maintain control of her body.
Juri smiled, a small drop of blood appearing from her bottom lip. Stepping forward, she spread her hand out in an arc around her as the dark wave of energy flowed forth, covering the SOLDIER and flowing harmlessly over her comrades.
Maylin gets ready for another attempt to steal from Royce. "So, Boss Lady, what's your take on him: Misguided or just a misfit?"
The Guard simply grinned through the pain of the poison. "We don't give names to things that don't deserve them." She spoke maliciously from behind her faux smile.
======== Results Illina = Attack (54 damage to Royce) Royce = Item: Hi Potion (200 HP to Royce) Poison = 20 damage to Illina Juri = Dark Wave (55 damage to Royce, 22 damage to Juri) Maylin = Steal (Couldn't steal anything...)
"damn stingy asshole." maylin runs up and gives the guy a good kick to show just how pissed she is at the guy not giving her anything to steal.
"You think that you can tell us apart? Many have tried, but then again, many have failed. What do you think the price for that is?" The Three Sisters Lylie-governess to a child of the first plain "You grew up. Thats a shame. The carousel never stops turning. You cant get off either. Its a shame."
Juri tossed her head, flipping her bangs out of her eyes as the wave of dark energy filled the room. Slowly running her finger down her cheek, she paused a moment as it encountered a drop of blood on her lip. Hmph. Almost forgot about this… Shaking her hand to dispose of the drop, she observed a battle a moment. She noticed Illina stagger a moment, as if queasy. But before Juri could think much about it, she saw the man draw a bottle and chug it. Dropping into her battle stance, she decided that she should help take some pressure off the other woman. She did not look good…
Smirking, Juri drew her blade even with the ground, readying and assault on the SOLDIER once she noticed an opening. She watched as a few visible cuts faded, covered in a thin sheen of green light. A potion, eh? They don’t always remember the things…
Seeing Illina tradea flurry of blows with the man, she dashed in under the combat. Popping up right next to Royce, she slashed upwards heavily, aiming at his open side. Dancing back quickly before the Officer’s next blow could strike her, the nimble woman called out to her opponent. “Is this the might of a SOLDIER? How have they degraded…”
((Juri attacking, normal attack. 36 damage, 101% attack %.))
Enraged by the futility of the situation, Illina brought her cleaver around again and caught Royce squarely in the chest. As she recovered from the strike, she doubled down and clenched her chest. Recovering from the pang, she rose and resumed her position.
Popping up right next to Royce, she slashed upwards heavily, aiming at his open side. Dancing back quickly before the Officer’s next blow could strike her, the nimble woman called out to her opponent. “Is this the might of a SOLDIER? How have they degraded…”
Royce suddenly stops what he is doing and looks at Juri, enraged. With a sudden burst of speed, Royce kicked his opponent. Juri tumbled and the SOLDIER proceeded to bury the hilt of his sword into her face.
"Damned stingy asshole." Maylin runs up and gives the guy a good kick. He winces out of reflex.
======== Results Illina = Attack (54 damage to Royce) Poison = 20 damage to Illina Juri = Attack (55 damage to Royce) Royce = Special: Hilt Smash (97 damage to Juri) Maylin = Attack (34 damage to Royce)
Spinning gracefully on her heel, Juri turned to see that Royce had turned his attention on her. Seeing fury in the man's face, she twisted, trying to dodge away from his obvious next attack. She was not quite quick enough, however, to dodge his boot lashing out at her.
With a grunt as her lungs released their held air, she tumbled backwards. Huh... I figured there would be that sword in there someplace... Blinking the blurriness from her eyes, her eyes widened as she saw that the man was on top of her, blade raised in the air above her. ...Ah. There it is...
She rolled to the side at the last moment, trying to dodge the rapidly descending blade. She managed to not get a face full of steel; unfortunately, the blade sunk into her shoulder, drawing a gasp of pain from the downed woman.
Gritting her teeth, Juri kicked upward with her knee, catching Royce in the chest. Not hard enough to do much in the way of damage, but enough to get him to roll off of her. Swinging out her feet, she popped up off the ground, landing in a crouch, weapon back in hand. Surveying the area, she could not help but notice Illana over Maylin's head, who had rushed in help. The woman had staggered again, and looked a little green in the face. You know... I wonder...
Digging into her pouch, she noticed with relief that bottles and thin vials she had in there had not broken. Hand wrapping around the one she was looking for, she yanked out the thin vial, pale green in color. Flinging it underhand, she tossed it toward Illana with the words, "Catch, woman!"
((Juri tosses a Antidote at Illana. )) ((Juri Hp and Mp: 0133/0252 & 0168/0168)) ((Juri, Limit Bar: 97 points of damage into it. I have no idea how our Limit Bars work in this game, however.))
maylin runs up to the stingy guy and punches him in the face for good measure. "give me something good you damn stingy asshole."
"You think that you can tell us apart? Many have tried, but then again, many have failed. What do you think the price for that is?" The Three Sisters Lylie-governess to a child of the first plain "You grew up. Thats a shame. The carousel never stops turning. You cant get off either. Its a shame."
Royce raises his blade up. Bracing himself for the immenent burst of speed, he suddenly leaps towards Maylin. Bringing the blade into her side, and then into her shoulder, the SOLDIER gets two clean hits in.
Illina winces and doubles over again in pain and drops to one knee. Looking at Royce through enraged eyes, she tearfully cries, "Shinra bastard!" Her yellow materia orb glows fiercely bright for a moment before she charges at Royce. Royce, recovering from his assault on Maylin, sees the attack coming and dodges out of the way of the Guard.
Digging into her pouch, Juri noticed with relief that bottles and thin vials she had in there had not broken. Hand wrapping around the one she was looking for, she yanked out the thin vial, pale green in color. Flinging it underhand, she tossed it toward Illana with the words, "Catch, woman!"
Maylin runs up to Royce and punches him in the face for good measure. "Give me something good, you damned stingy asshole."
======== Results Royce = Double-Cut (110 damage to Maylin) POISONED! Poison = 20 damage to Illina Illina = Deathblow (Miss) Juri = Item: Antidote (Remove Poison from Illina) Maylin = Attack (34 damage to Royce) Poison = 20 damage to Maylin

"you damned shinra slime. ill kill you." maylin winces as the pain moves through her. after it susids she runs over and kicks the guy in the face.
"You think that you can tell us apart? Many have tried, but then again, many have failed. What do you think the price for that is?" The Three Sisters Lylie-governess to a child of the first plain "You grew up. Thats a shame. The carousel never stops turning. You cant get off either. Its a shame."
Watching the fight rage around her, Juri could not help but be impressed, as much as she would like to deny it. This Knecht was an impressive fighter, and was able to keep the three of them away from their objective by himself.
Hmm... so your SOLDIERs have not entirely wasted away, have they, Sir... Now… how to handle this one…?
Twisting away to avoid a slash her way, Juri puzzled over their options, and could not help but wince as Maylin was hit again with the sickness that Illina was afflicted with earlier. Does he have something on that blade of his? Sneaky fellow... Wait!
Smiling, she concentrated for a moment, watching as Maylin jumped to get into an attack position. One of the green orbs on her wrist glowed, shedding a pale green light. Leveling her blade at the SOLDIER, she launched an orb of coruscating green light off its tip, leaving a thin line of energy connecting her to the orb in its wake.
((Juri uses Drain on Knecht. I have NO idea how much MP it costs, how much it drains, or its hit percentages. )) ((Juri Hp and Mp: 0133/0252 & 0168/0168. These numbers are BEFORE the Drain attack.))
Royce spun backwards from his brutal assault on Maylin, tossing a smirk in Illina's direction. "Degraded? I suppose I have - you're still alive, after all." He held his blade before him, point towards the overhead, and whispered something inaudible, which quickly grew into an incoherent roar as a massive wind gust picked Illina up and smashed her into a stanchion.
