[Open] Define your meaning of fun. To me it's when we're gettin' it done...

Characters: Elena & YOU
Setting: Upper Floors; post Whale-crash
Format: EVERY FORMAT
Summary: Whelp, somebody wasn't watching the news feeds because somebody was not responding to her texts and she was out trying to find them. Then BOOM in comes some stupid giant whale and BAM her suit is ruined.
Warnings: Blood, violence, language. Normal everyday Turk business.

The tower was coming down. At least, that had been Elena's first thought when the trembling had increased in volume and severity to the point where she couldn't stand on her own two feet. Clutching at one of the fire extinguishers, she had only a moment to see it. A giant beat of a monster, crashing through the ceiling, its mammoth head pushing downward and onward before coming to a stop several flights below.  Around the opening the ceiling and floor cracked, crumbling under the weight and pressure, sending giant pieces falling and crashing around her, creating a heavy fog of dust and debris.

"W-What in the hell was - ?"

There's something hot, wet, and sticky slapping against her face in hands, larger pieces hitting against the rest of her body. Wiping at her eyes, she makes a very audible noise of disgust, spitting out several small chunks that had stuck to her lip. Unable to use any part of the front of her suit, she at least managed to wipe a good deal of the blood out of her eyes, nose and mouth.

"Gross..." And after a quick assessment of her current status later. "Damn, my suit... Guh...this might never come out...- Huh?"

Just beyond the rubble, pass the giant hole in the tower the initial behemoth monster created, a swarm of mirelurks slowly worked their way towards her, slowed only by the piles of concrete. And, unbeknownst to her, there's a baby deathclaw in the group. Hiding behind one of the larger pieces of rubble, Elena draws her firearm from its holster beneath her arm, checking every few seconds to see where the group had moved to.

Catching one of the mirelurks moving a little too close for comfort, Elena fired her first round towards what she could only guess was its head. The loud, metallic sound of the bullet ricocheting off its shell caught the attention of all the monsters in the group, which then honed on her.

"Oh shit..."

Hei had already been on the scene looking for survivors. Sadly, none, but hopefully they ran to shelter, unlike him. No sign of Lucy, Ishtar, or anyone else, so he was about to head back. It was pointless trying to fight without his abilities, especially against an unknown legion of creatures. Then life had to take another right turn...

A swarm of armored creatures were homing on the young woman he had seen before. Standing atop some debris, he probably could have fled. Against an army like that, it would be a bit tricky to leave alive. Still, turning his back on someone...not something he could do anymore. No choice anymore as he saw it. And when had he done logical things nowadays?

Jumping from his spot, he landed atop the Mirelurk, pushing it down to the ground and staring at Elena. "Are you alright?"

[personal profile] fusedstars 2012-08-13 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
"I can handle myself."

Indeed he can, jumping off the Mirelurk he was on and back onto the ground. More of them coming, his hand moved to the staff on his back, and he whipped it out. Two blades soon came forth, splitting from the staff he held. In one swift motion, he stabbed two of the Mirelurks in the face, and jumping back in time to avoid one of the claws. The creatures stabbed eventually fell over, their most vital of spots killing them in an instant; weapons forged by Eddie at the facility truly were deadly.

"Aim for their face. It's their only real vulnerable spot."

He ignored her compliments, focusing on where and when to strike. The Mirelurks were quicker than one may expect from their large size, but nowhere near the speed Hei moved. While not superhumanly fast, it was near natural, blades moving swiftly before being thrust into the giant crustaceans' face. One by one they were falling, their slower movements proving to be an advantage. Even so, Hei's movements were still limited.

He jumped atop one again, noting the small Deathclaw making its way over. "Those things are attracted by sound." He leaped off the Mirelurk again, kicking it for good measuring and towards the Deathclaw, managing to block it for now. Throwing a wire, he zip-lined towards the rubble, landing perfectly and observing the battlefield.

"If the armored crabs see it as a threat, we can probably have them kill each other."

Shion had been in a state of panic before the tower had even started shaking, Reno had disappeared. He hadn't turned up to training and Shion feared the worst and so that was why instead of evacuating like everyone else he had been running around looking for Reno, and Xion.

The shaking was worrying but Shion continued searching. Luckily he was on the mid floors when the whale hit, he was still flung backwards and his arm hurt where it had been cut on falling rubble.

For a moment Shion just stared in shock, and despair. If anyone had been on the upper floors...

He still hadn't found Reno or Xion. He set off at a run, tears in his eyes up the staircase.

In front of him he saw a familliar figure. Someone who had survived somehow. "Elena!" He ran forwards and saw the monsters.

He could fight better than he could a few months ago, but he had no weapon on him. So he reverted to old tactics; running forward in an attempt to distract them. "Run!"

Well as usual that had went horribly wrong and Shion ended up being the one needing rescued. He blushed and dashed over to her, his arm bleeding but mostly in one piece. "Sorry, you looked like you needed help."

As soon as the shaking had started, she'd tried to find those she recognized. Like Shion, she'd been worried enough when Reno hadn't turned up for breakfast that morning, or even practice.

First though, she up towards the dorms. It was up a few floors that she heard a shout - one she knew she recognized.

She charged up the stairs, coming to a halt when she saw the Mirelurks rapidly approaching Shion and Elena. "Hold on!" she called, thrusting her hand out and tugging on the power she'd been calling almost her whole life.

Only nothing happened, and her hand stayed empty.

The Keyblade. It wouldn't come. Panic crossed her features for a brief moment, then settled into something tense as she next tried to call some magic energy - specifically fire - to her hand. No luck either. Finally, she settled in a fighting stance, moving forward until she was closer to the other two. Safety in numbers, after all.

"What's going on?!"

Shion blushed, he was getting better but recklessness had always been a fault of his. As well as being afraid, being a burden, not being clever enough. He fisted his hands digging his nails into his palms to drown out the voices of the two red collared men, squeezed his eyes shut for a moment to try and escape the judging look of Nezumi.

"I..." He had no weapon, he hadn't thought of grabbing one of Reno's before searching for him and the attack had come to quickly to return to the room. More mistakes, he shook his head. He was bleeding but it didn't matter, he began to back away with her but turned in surprise when he heard Xion's voice. "Xion! Be careful!"
attheclocktower: (help ♡ with kind words you'd soothe me)

[personal profile] attheclocktower 2012-09-06 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"All right," Xion replied, nodding her head a little jerkily. She was ill-at-ease, as she tended to be whenever she couldn't summon her Keyblade (for all Reno had been trying to teach her to rely on it less). Especially right now, since it seemed that fighting hand-to-hand was a bad idea.

But there was nothing else to do now. Elena was right, they had to get out of there. Xion would've suggested a darkness corridor, but after the failure of her Keyblade and magic, she didn't want to waste time with what would likely be a fruitless suggestion. Maybe it was the monsters that were disabling her powers; Xion had encountered one or two that seemed to disable powers in their vicinity - the animals in the forest at least. But they could worry about it later.

"There weren't any monsters on the stairs, a little while ago." she said, eyes darting between the other two and the Mirelurks.
savedbyasong: (no it's not happening.)

Shion nodded as well staying close and reaching out to grab Xion's hand. He had noticed the lack of keyblade and guessed what it meant, that was two of them without weapons, though in Xion's case it wasn't her fault.

"The stairs?" He looked around, trying to stay calm. But his breathing was getting faster and he was beginning to panic.

Get down!

[The shout will be coming from behind her, but it's close. Loud, too; Zack's voice carries and draws the attention of the monsters for a moment before a fireball soars over Elena's head and impacts on them instead. It's probably not going to kill more than one or two, and if anything, it's just going to piss that baby deathclaw off, but it buys them a minute or two of breathing and "get the hell out of here" room. Hopefully.

Zack had been lucky. He'd thrown himself into patrol to deal with Sephiroth being gone and was therefore well stocked for combat, but this? This was a mess.]


You okay?!
pauldrons: (let me talk you down)

[personal profile] pauldrons 2012-08-15 02:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Zack doesn't know her. She's just another Tower Resident in distress, just like the rest of them. He doesn't even take notice that she seems to recognize him a little, and instead keeps his focus on the smoke cloud and the monsters hiding in it.]

Yeah. The cafeteria's safe right now. Come on.

[He gives her wrist a tug, ready to push her on ahead to guard their backs himself. She seems ready and willing to go, so he doubts he'll have to tug or carry her down all those stairs.]
pauldrons: (it's the eyes.)

[personal profile] pauldrons 2012-08-23 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Seems that way, yeah--

[Beyond the fact that there's way too much going on for Zack to care if someone's Turk or Scientist, he's never had anything against the Turks. Hell, he counts Tseng and Reno and Cissnei as friends...even if Reno's being a pain right now.

No, the problem he has is one of surprise that she pulls away so violently. Clearly she has something against being pulled or maybe hands on her in general, but now's not the time to ask. He'll just shake off the surprise and nod, turning back to the stairs and the way he came up to this floor.]


Got it. Just don't fall behind, alright?
