Red XIII pads in calmly, his paws bare of his gauntlets. See? No Materia.
Lina asks, "Did either of *you* know what the alleged food was like in there
.. ?"
Ukyou nods to Lina. n.n
Red XIII says, "I did not have to know. I could smell it."
Hiroshi was practicing his stance as you walk in
Lina glances around. "Oi ... Assassin-san."
Hiroshi says, "Well then... glad to see you came."
Red XIII says, "I always keep my word."
Lina says, "Let me see your sword and armor for a moment ..." She walks over
to Hiroshi.
Several low-ranking SOLDIERs are on hand to watch.
Hiroshi says, "I would rather you didn't"
Ukyou . o O ( Gauntlet on the left arm, hmmm. )
Red XIII's ears swivel towards the SOLDIERs but keeps his eyeon Hiroshi.
Lina says, "If I'm refereeing this duel, I'm going to make *SURE* that you
agree to the rules."
Hiroshi says, "Agreed."
Several of the SOLDIERs roll their eyes nad chatter amongst themselves
*** Hiroshi just looked at you ***
Lina asks, "So ... sword? Armor?"
Ukyou asks, "Ring out rules?"
Lina says, "I'm not going to cast any curses on them, if that's what you're
worried about."
Hiroshi says, "Any normal weapons are allowed. No magic."
Red XIII glances towards the SOLDIERs in question, then looks at the others.
Lina says, "That's what I'm making sure of, that you don't have any materia
on your stuff."
ShiroKuro has arrived.
Hiroshi shows you his equipment. He has an odd taste in weaponry, but no
materia on his current gear.
ShiroKuro . o O ( That black dog sure was nice )
Lina nods. "All right, you're clear." She addresses the other SOLDIERs, "No
outside interference. Got it?"
Some SOLDIERs vioce complaints, but Hiroshi quiets them
Lina says, "And Ukyou and I will also stay out of it ... except to make sure
Red gets out of here all right after he wins." n.n
Ukyou crosses her arms, and hmmms at the crowd. o.-
ShiroKuro pants abit . o O ( The lion wolf)
Red XIII grins to himself at Lina's comment.
Lina gestures to Red and Hiroshi as she leans against the wall next to the
door. "When you're ready ..."
Ukyou exclaims, "Waitaminute!"
Ukyou o.o; "What are the rules? KO or something? Ring out?"
Red XIII starts to pad forward, then looks at Ukyou
Hiroshi says, "K.O."
Red XIII looks back at Hiroshi, nodding.
Lina nods. "Sounds fair. Sic 'em, Red!" ^_^ v
Red XIII . o O ( "Sic 'em"?? )
Hiroshi takes that as "start", and lunges at Red
Red XIII ignores that comment and growls, jumping to the side, moving up to
his hind legs as he slashes at Hiroshi as he lunges past
Hiroshi hiroshi narrowly misses with his first attack, but so does Red.
Hiroshi turns towards Red, and prepares a swipe.
Red XIII growls, waiting for the attack to come, legs tensed as he backs up
a step.
Hiroshi crouches down and lunges at Red's right front leg
Ukyou bites her lips . o O ( KO with blades and claws, this isn't gonna be
pretty. )
Red XIII snarls as he jumps, but not quite high enough, and his leg get
grazed slightly. HE on the other hand, is going for a smooth pounce, claws out.
Some SOLDIERs cheer Hiroshi for getting the first strike
Hiroshi steps back to avoid Red's pounce, but doesn't quite make it, and is
knocked off balance as Red's claws grate along his breatsplate
Red XIII growls as he adjusts and claws at the plate, at the edges briefly,
but ready to jump away.
Hiroshi, while still off-balance, swings underhanded at Red while he claws
at him, aiming for the belly
ShiroKuro . o O ( A battle? )
Red XIII pushes off Hiroshi's chest and hops backwards, the sword only
barely missing his stomach. Red pads around in a circle, half crouched and
waiting for another opening.
Hiroshi takes a moment to recover himself, then makes a flying leap at red!
Red XIII dashes forward and ducks low to let Hiroshi's attack go past,
turning at the same movement and loping forward at Hiroshi's left leg
Lina grins. "Go Red!"
ShiroKuro barks a bit
Hiroshi notices Red's evasion, and adjusts to make a perfect landing. Red's
swipe connects dead on, however; it isn't enough to knock him over, but it
makes him bleed
Hiroshi immediately swings around, swing his gauntlet aimed at eye-level on Red
Red XIII rises up and slashes with a two paw hit, only to get knocked back
with the gauntlet.
Hiroshi draws back for another strike immediately after fazing Red
Red XIII simply waits for it, staying in one spot and watching.
Hiroshi sweeps upward in an uppercut, the claws on his gauntlet aiming for
Red's jaw
ShiroKuro . o O ( Yay flaming lion/wolf! )
Red XIII flinches his head to the side, ducking under the uppercut but fangs
bared and going for the upper arm
The SOLDIERs cheer on Hiroshi
Hiroshi looks angered as Red just barely dodged the swing, and subsequently
locked onto his left arm gauntlet
Red XIII jerks himself backwards, yanking on the arm
Hiroshi clenches his fist to keep hold on the gauntlet, but he is pulled
forward. He readies his right arm for a strike.
ShiroKuro keeps barking
Red XIII tightens his hold on the gauntlet, shaking his head a couple of
times, but Hiroshi's arm is on his blind side now.
Lina quietly tries to hush Shirokuro.
Hiroshi sweeps at Red's right front leg with his right arm gauntlet
ShiroKuro looks at Lina . o O (I gotta be quiet? But they are yelling)
Red XIII catches the quick movement through sense rather than sight, and
releases the other arm gauntlet to avoid the strike. Being in close anyway,
he growls and backs away
Hiroshi stands up and jumps back, out of close combat
Red XIII bristles, prowling at a good two foot distance, watching silently
as he circles Hiroshi every so often.
ShiroKuro just pants . o O (Oooh. Close fight. The flaming lion/wolf and a
man with claws. How did he get them?)
Ukyou . o O ( Okay, one leg hurt on each side... )
Hiroshi stays back for a while... then suddenly sweeps his leg at Red's
front legs
Red XIII jumps over the sweep, a short jump, to bring his paws down on the
flat of the gauntlet, claws extended as usual, and preparing for another
follow up strike.
Hiroshi backflips, narrowly avoiding Red's counterstrike. Very narrowly.
Hiroshi. o O (Damn, I'm running head to head with this beast!)
Lina . o O ( Wish I could toss a spell in to help ... )
Red XIII growls, dashing forward to risk a quick feint, a right paw slash at
Hiroshi's side.
ShiroKuro . o O ( Too bad there is no food )
Hiroshi winces as Red's claw hits directly, but just as suddenly grins as he
jabs his left hand gauntlet into Red's side!
Ukyou . o O ( They're getting slower, and they're starting to know each
other... Blows are gonna hit and hit again. )
Hiroshi. o O (I am NOT losing this)
Red XIII growls as the gauntlet hits in his side, and he falls back.. and
looks _almost_ at the berserker level.
Hiroshi takes his right gauntlet and brings it down on Red's head
Red XIII moves so that he takes it on his back, turning his head to clamp
down on the right arm
as hard as possible.
Hiroshi. o O (These are close combat weapons, but he has to fight close
combat as well. We're evenly matched, weapon wise)
Ukyou . o O ( Eep, no armor on the right arm, this is gonna hurt )
Hiroshi grins as the strike hits squarely, but gets an expression of shock
as Red bits down near the elbow, above his armor!
Lina exclaims, "Ooooh, that's GOTTA hurt ... !"
Red XIII growls, sinking his fangs in with an almost maddening light in his
eye, moving to use his weight to yank HIroshi off his feet (knock off balance)
Hiroshi growls at he thrusts his left arm at Red's face, even as he's
brought to the ground!
Lina exclaims, "Pin 'im, Red!"
Red XIII winces againsat the blow, but does *NOT* let go. Yes ladies and
gents, he's gone into berserker mode. One claw on the ground, the other goes
for the throat.
Ukyou sweatdrops . o O ( This is worse than a catfight with Kodachi )
Ano ... cat-fight?
Hiroshi quickly withdraws his left arm from red's face to block his claw. If
he were not a SOLDIER he would be doomed; luckily, he's strong enough to
keep the claw from hitting
Hiroshi tries to find a way to strike back, but his right arm is pinned by
Red's jaw, and his left arm is pinned by Red's claw
Red XIII shakes his head, still gripping that elbow area, maul-style as his
left claw holds down the other arm.
Lina grimaces. . o O ( This hurts just to watch .. )
Ukyou winces . o O ( I... didn't think Red could be so... feral )
Hiroshi grunts, and changes his strategy. He kicks Red in the Belly, nocking
Red off of him, but taking a good chunk of his arm off too X.X
Red XIII grunts with the kick and gets knocked back, but snarls still, just
*barely* able to hold himself in check.
Hiroshi inhales and exhales slowly, trying to find his center
Red XIII bolts forward with another lunge - only instead of a direct attack,
he dashes to the side at the last minute
Hiroshi swings at Red, missing
Hiroshi draws back
Ukyou bites her nails, looking concerned . o O ( That guy's bleeding like
heck! )
Some of the SOLDIERs begin mocking Hiroshi
Hiroshi. o O(I am NOT going to lose)
Red XIII growls, his eye narrowed in utter rage, muscles twitching as he
crouches from his spot, the blood from Hiroshi's arm nearly blending in with
his fur.
Hiroshi leaps at Red, left arm first
Red XIII growls, moving low for the leg that had been wounded earlier
Hiroshi winces as Red connects soldily with his leg, nocking him on his
back. He manages to grasp Red's throat is his left hand, getting a firm grip!
Red XIII glrks slightly, but brings up his front paws and claws at the
breastplate again, snarling.
Elena strolls in, quietly, looking about in vague curiousity.
Hiroshi keeps Red's lethal teeth away from him as Red tears at his
breastplate. Most of the strikes just manage to scratch the plate, but some
get his side and abdomen.
Hiroshi says, "Stay out of this, Elena"
Red XIII claws like a demon possessed even as he struggles to get out of the
grip.
Hiroshi knees Red in the gut as he continues to sqyeeze
Elena glances at Hiroshi. "Even though you have no right to tell me to do
-ANYTHING-, I will not interfere."
Hiroshi. o O (Arrogant upstart pup. Just because she's in that special unit...)
Red XIII grunts, then goes limp.
Hiroshi releases Red
Red XIII leaps straight at Hiroshi once he's released.
Hiroshi gets a shocked expression on his face, but not before Red gets a
firm grasp on his left gauntlet . o O (A feint!)
Red XIII growls viciously, wrenching at the gauntlet
Hiroshi clenches his fist to keep the gauntlet, but parts of it are torn off
by Red's fierce attack
Red XIII backs up a step and drops the pieces that got torn off.
Hiroshi immediately stands up and makes a roundhouse kick at Red's chin!
Red XIII's head snaps to the side ..look stars.. and he backs up a step
again, shaking his head.
Hiroshi, without pause, swings his left arm at Red's throat
Red XIII snarls, wincing even as he moves to catch the arm with his fangs
yet again
Hiroshi manages to scrape the claws against Red's throat, by extending his
fingers, as red catches the wrist
Hiroshi pants
Red XIII bites down on the wrist
The SOLDIERs cheer for Hiroshi!
Hiroshi. o O (Now I've got him...)
Lina O.o
Lina_Inverse mumbles, "What're ..... idiots cheering ... .. Red's ...
the ......... .. .." to Ukyou.
Hiroshi ignores the pain as Red gnaws at his wrist, and takes his right arm
at Red's throat!
Red XIII raises a paw towards the right arm, moving to bat it away
Hiroshi might have connected if his arm was at full strength, but because it
isn't, his strike is blocked. However, he takes the opportunity of Red's
foreleg being off the ground to kick at one of his hind legs
Red XIII goes down on his side, losing his grip on the wrist. Just how
bloody be ye by now Hiroshi? -.^
Hiroshi is pretty bloody ^^;;
Hiroshi takes both his hands at the back of Red's neck
Red XIII can't block that, instead going for the legs again..
Hiroshi gets a grip on Red's neck, but not long before Red knocks his legs
out from under him! Hiroshi loses his grip, and lands on Red's back
Red XIII grunts as he gets the weight on his back and turns to get him off,
going for Hiroshi's side a second later.
Both Red and Hiroshi look like they've gone through a blender at the moment
>.<
Ukyou crosses her arms and -.- . o O ( That's it, next time Red fights like
that, I insist on a ring-out rule... KO fights with claws are _not_ a good
idea )
Hiroshi gets a shocked expression on his face as Red sinks his teeth into
his side!
Red XIII @MAULS with mass prejudice
Hiroshi screams, raking at the back of red's neck futilely
Red XIII's growls of pain are considerably muted, but he continues for as
long as he has Hiroshi in the position to.
Hiroshi continues to struggle, tearing at red with extreme prejudice.
Eventually, however, as he comes closer to being disembowled, Hiroshi falls
unconscious >.<
Red XIII keeps Hiroshi down, not breaking the hold, his tail lashing at the air
Hiroshi doesn't move
Ukyou o.o; "Oy, someone get a paramedic team, pronto."
Rufus_Shinra has arrived.
Tseng has arrived.
Rufus_Shinra enters with Tseng following behind.
Lina slashes the air with her hand. "Enough! Red, you've won!"
Rufus applauds
Red XIII doesn't move either.
Tseng glances at Elena
Elena blinks, and turns. "Tseng-sama!" she exclaims happily, quickly moving
over to her surperior, standing by him respectfully.
Red XIII does look up to glance at Rufus, but stays standing over Hiroshi.
Lina heads towards the combatants. "Red, let him go ..."
Rufus says, "Bravo... bravo... What an exciting fight."
Red XIII growls silently and releases Hiroshi's mangled form , but
still looks pretty feral right now.
Ukyou . o O ( Why do I have a feeling Rufus' a spoiled kid? )
Some SOLDIERs rush over to Hiroshi with cure materia
Red XIII snarls at any SOLDIER that's stupid enough to get within range of
his claws or teeth.
Rufus says, "You more then exceeded my expectations. Too bad i'll have to
kill you all now."
Lina uses her own materia to heal Red.
Lina says, "I wouldn't advise that Rufus ... unless you want me to bring
this tower down around all of our ears."
Red XIII growls silently, padding forward as Lina heals his injuries.
The SOLDIERs hear Rufus and, shocked, draw their weapons
Rufus asks, "Well, I can't just have you mauling my employees, can I?"
Rufus says, "Nothing personal."
Red XIII growls
Lina asks, "Yeah. Nothing personal. Red, Ukyou ... may I suggest we start
making our way towards an exit?"
Ukyou ^^; "Uhm Lina... Remember the beach?"
Rufus says, "Now, of course, I have to ask if you want to surrender
peacefully. I know you won't."
Two SOLDIERs get behind Ukyou
Lina asks, "What will you do if we *do* surrender peacefully ... ?"
Hiding behind a girl? Tsk.
Rufus nods, and the SOLDIERs try to grapple Ukyou!
Elena glances around, a grins. Quickly, and instinctively, she draws her gun.
Tseng does the same
Red XIII growls as he turns his attention to the SOLDIERs, then whips his
head to Rufus, snarling low, "Leave them out of this."
Lina starts preparing a spell already, eyeing the two SOLDIERs grappling Ukyou.
Rufus says, "Ah... but then I wouldn't have the advantage."
Red XIII pads towards Rufus, "I said leave them."
Ukyou's intuition kicks in, she Ranma-style anime jumps in the air, and
pulls a bag, "Why dontcha eat FLOUR!" and tears the bag in midair to create
her good old flour cloud screen.
Lina says, "You don't *HAVE* any advantage, Rufus ... and if I were you, I'd
back down before things get ugly."
The cloud of flour fills the room, blocking perception
Rufus coughs. "Enough banter. Kill them all."
Lina *COUGHS*, her spell (whatever it was) fizzling.
Rufus says, "No firearms"
Elena glances at Rufus. "Rufus-sama...?"
Red XIII sneezes flour x.x;
Ukyou . o O ( God I love flour clouds, at Least Rufus know it's bad for your
health to shoot in there. )
Lina chants, "Earth below me, submit to my will ..." and slaps her hand to
the ground. "DUG HAUT!!"
Ukyou runs for the door...
Rufus says, "Thesea re two class-B threats. Act with extreme prejudice."
The floor starts shaking *violently* as Lina also runs for the door ...
Tseng misses Ukyou's escape, but moves to block Lina
Elena charges after Ukyou, not about to let her escape.
Rufus, despite the shaking, stands firm
Red XIII growls as he lopes half-easily, half unsteadily towards whoever
he's closest..who so happens to be Rufus. n.n
Tseng loses his balance a bit, but aims for Lina. Several SOLDIERs leap into
the fray, despite the chaos of the cloud
Lina runs low; if she hits Tseng, she grabs him around the knees and tries
to topple him.
Tseng is knocked over by Lina, but simultaneously elbows her in the back
Lina smacks Tseng with a shout (and spell) of "Digger Volt!!"
Rufus notices Red headed for him, but makes no effort to escape. He just
stands and watches.
Ukyou was running for the door, but Elena's in the way, Ukyou shifts her
running to a charge with both elbows first.
Lina . o O ( OW! dammit I hate those edge currents ... )
Tseng notices Lina's spell preparation, and ducks to avoid the bolt.
Red XIII pounces at Rufus, keeping his ears towards Ukyou and Lina, just in
case.
Rufus_Shinra mumbles, "Take the girl hostage .. .. ... .. ...
........ they will ...... ........." to Elena.
Lina scrambles out from under Tseng, and resumes her dash for the door.
Tseng is blasted back, his suitcoat ruined. He stands up, and leaps to the
other side of the room, taking Hiroshi's broadsword
Rufus smirks as Red hits the force field around Rufus
Dark Nation teleports into the room.
Dark Nation has arrived.
Dark Nation's eyes glow
Red XIII bounces off the force field and growls, turning to any other
opponents..
Elena mutters a single, low word. Suddenly, there is a flash of yellow
energy, and she wedges herself in the door.
Dark Nation growls as his eyes glow again. Bolts of lighting fly at Red
Ukyou winds up charging whatever Elena is doing in the door, elbows first.
Tseng swings the broadsword at Lina, the long-range materia glowing. An arc
of force flies at Lina (OOC: which can be parried)
Elena has unfortunately erected Wall around her, determined to block anyone
who tries to escape.
Rufus watches emotionlessly
Red XIII utters a low howl of pain as he gets bombarded with several bolts
of lightning. This however, does fill up his limit meter, and he tilts his
head, letting out a loud howl to the air. Abruptly, he leaps at Dark Nation,
moving quickly and furious (Lunatic High, don'cha know)
Lina just drops to the floor, letting the arc fly over her (possibly grazing
her)
Dark Nation doesn't have time to dodge, and is struck diretcly
Tseng takes a few more swings at Lina
Red XIII goes for Dark's throat, snarling..
Lina rolls to the side (since she's on the ground anyway), managing to chant
as she rolls.
Dark Nation growls as Red tears at him; Red is blasted back by lighting, but
Nation is hurt
Lina says, "Source of all power ... light that burns beyond crimson ..." She
comes back to her feet. "Let thy power gather in my hand: FIRE BALL!!!"
Tseng raises the sword, and blue and green materia glow. "BlizzaGa!"
Red XIII whimpers for a second, not wanting to get up again, but does so..
and rushes Dark AGAIN
Lina flings a *massive* fireball spell at Tseng.
Ukyou rams Elena's shield *Wham* and itais x.x then hears Lina's spell . o
O ( Kami ) and ducks for whatever cover's closest.
Lina and Red are assailed by chilling ice crystals, right AFTER the fireball
flies
Tseng.. ;O.O; and trys to dodge the fireball. And almost does. Almost
Red XIII drops again from the chill, shivering..but fury doesn't let him off
that easy, and he bounds forward with a ..weak growl.
Tseng grunts as the blast strikes right behind him, nocking him to the
ground and setting his suit on fire
Rufus says, "You can't win. One of your warriors is already injured."
Lina turns her attention to Elena's barrier (assuming the flour is settling
by now?)
Rufus says, "Meanwhile, you fight two of my best agents."
Ukyou's flour likely BURNED dur to that fireball.
goingLina says, "Good, they'll deserve a nice burial ...."
Several SOLDIERs charge Lina
Red XIII snarls at Rufus, going for Dark, if the creature is still standing
that is.
Lina lobs another Fireball at the incoming SOLDIERs, hopping back to clear
the blast radius herself.
Dark Nation is still standing, yes. His eyes glow.
Red XIII goes to tackle Dark Nation with another throat grab
Ukyou gets up from cover, sees Red in trouble before his evil twin o.o; and
decides to ready her spatula to help him out, "Yo, the zoo reject, over here!"
The SOLDIERs become crispy, but the backwash is very close to Lina
Elena winces as she is hit, but remains where she is.... until she see's
Tseng hit. Removing herself from the door, she dashes over to Tseng,
casting a very light ice spell to douse the fire..
Dark Nation growls as lighting flies from his eyes, striking Red, but Red's
frenzied assault hits Nation head-on
Tseng clutches his head, and glances up
Red XIII doesn't even *care* about the lightning hitting him.. each time he
gets hit back, he repounces on Dark with another frenzied maul attack.
Dark Nation continues with a continual storm of energy, but Red holds fast
Tseng mumbles, ".... .. .. .. go ..... Ms .. Inverse .. ..... the
.... ........." to Elena.
Ukyou anime jumps, and hefts her spatula high, "Try lightning THIS!" and
brings her spatula down on Nation's head flat-first in one of her STRONGEST
blows, letting herself open for a moment after.
Lina looks around, and hurls a Freeze Arrow at Dark Nation from the side,
trying to encase the creature in ice.
Elena smiles down at Tseng, and place a cure materia in his hand. She nods,
standing, drawing her gun.
Red XIII guards Ukyou's back when he falls back to let her strike in
Dark Nation, knowing the tides have turned, teleports away with Rufus
Rufus_Shinra goes home.
Rufus_Shinra has left.
Dark Nation teleports out of the room.
Dark Nation has left.
Red XIII growls, padding towards Lina
Red XIII glances at Ukyou, then the other, "..Are you all right?"
Lina says, "Now then ..." She turns to regard Elena. "May we go now, or are
you still trying to kill us?"
Tseng concentrates and heals his more grevious injuries
Elena clutches the pistol, her finger dancing over the trigger as she
considers..
Tseng stands up, broadsword still in hand
Red XIII growls, moving just past Lina, "Let us leave them."
Tseng glances at the remaining SOLDIERs. "Don't let them escape!"
Tseng returns to the fray
Ukyou O.o o.O at Dark and Rufus gone, "Who'd they do that?"
Lina glances at Tseng, mutters "Urusai," and fireballs him again.
Elena glares, and shoots... at the roof. "STOP!"
Red XIII says, "Enough."
Tseng puts the blade in the path of the fireball, deflecting most of the
blast. He's hurt, but not severely
Tseng looks at Elena
Red XIII really wants to go and maul Dark Nation..but he manages to hold
himself in check.
Lina . o O ( Another one of those? x.x )
Elena walks forward, slowly...
The SOLDIERs stop
Elena drops her gun... o.O
Elena continues walking towards the rebellious group, a calm, passive gaze
in her eyes.
Tseng watches, to see what Elena has planned
Lina looks at Elena's barrier, considering it.
Elena dissipates the wall surrounding her.
Red XIII remains in front of the other two, watching Tseng and Elena
Elena first approaches Lina, reaching out, placing a hand on her shoulder,
softly. "Name?"
Lina says, "Sophia."
Tseng puts the broadsword on the rack
Tseng. o O(...)
Tseng drops Broadsword.
Ukyou . o O ( Damn, Red's hurt, badly... )
*** Tseng just looked at you ***
Elena says, "Oh? I heard your name was Inverse...."
Tseng mumbles, "That is .... ....... .. . ......... .. Doesn't ...
materia .. but ...... .... .... she ... do .." to Elena.
Tseng takes a moment to adjust the fit of his singed blazer
Elena nods to Tseng. "Lina Inverse. Please don't lie. I'm saving your lives."
Lina slowly raises an eyebrow. "And why should we trust you, hmmmmmm ... ?"
Elena steps back from Lina, now moving to Ukyou, placing a hand on her
shoulder as well, as a sign of friendship, perhaps. "Your name?"
Tseng watches closely
Ukyou narrows her eyes a bit, but sounds curious, "Kuonji Ukyou, what's yours?"
Elena smiles. "Elena."
Elena steps back, and looks down at Red XIII. She kneels, and scritches him
behind the ears. "Red XIII, right? I remember you. You've given us hell
before."
Elena glances at Hiroshi. "Take your friend, and go."
Red XIII just looks at Elena, unresponsive. He doesn't even twitch..
Elena moves away, reaching down, picking up her gun, returning it to her
jacket. She walks slowly over to Tseng, and flashes him a look, unseen by
the others. A grin.
Tseng stays silent, but notices Elena's grin
Lina says, "You still didn't say why we should trust you."
Elena says, "Do you have to? Look! There's the door, you dolt. Go."
Elena glances at the SOLDIERs. "Drop all weapons, and step away from the exit."
The SOLDIERs get odd looks on their faces, but do as Elena says.
Ukyou facefaults . o O ( What the heck is going on? )
Red XIII growls silently.
Lina says, "C'mon ... let's see if we can get out of here after all ..."
Tseng stands and watches.
Lina . o O ( Something is *not* right. )
Lina heads out slowly, Red and Ukyou hopefully close behind her ... looking
into the corridor both ways before she actually steps into it.
Red XIII pads out after Lina. Carefully is the only way he *CAN* go..
Lina says, "Red, watch our back .."
Red XIII mutely growls a response, watching Tseng and Elena.
Tseng stays fast, just watching them exit.
