::Just as Connolly had warned, the Regent's air force is already retalliating against the dragon, with heavy rail gun fire and missles. But she's doing an excellent job of diving out of harms way, and countering the jets with her fire. Three planes have already been thrown from the sky::
::Meanwhile, down on the ground, Alicia and her men are carrying out their half of the purge, making much more noise than Kamikaze's group, and with good reason. Cutting down LPA in such a way that their screams pervade over the sound of the gunfire::
Astaroth: Come out, come out and play heroes.

::Yami's ears perk up hearing a dragon above. Something inside her told her its Iole. She looks to the golem:: "Stay here and stop the bermecian that comes through." ::The golem doesn't respond, but she knows it'll do what she says before she takes off back the other way to head outside. Once she does, she catches sight of Iole. Her eyes turn to their emotionless state as she aims her arm, senbons firing from her fingers at Iole's back while she's distracted::

::With Jas and Galeon::
::Kyran comes running to Jas and Galeon, not finding Iole::
"Kyran, did you tell Iole everything?"
[glow=white,2,300]No, I couldn't find her. The reason is all out war has broken out. I saw almost all of the soliders of Lindblum heading to the Fashion District. I know Nu has two of his fallowers leading the assult.[/glow]
::Looks to Galeon:: "Change of plans, we got some fighting to do."
Galeon: About time, things were getting boring.
[glow=white,2,300]Now guys will have to take the rooftops, soldiers are crawling the streets, making it impossible to get past.[/glow] :She changes into her true form:: [glow=white,2,300]Let's move![/glow]
::They run into the nearest building and run through the roof, jumping from rooftop to rooftop to the war zone::

The secret passages Lillith had provided him with proves extremely useful and it wasn't before long he found himself in the library of the Palace, a large room standing several stories high. It's quite impressive. It's around this time that a foreboding feeling befalls Oliver, thus far he hasn't come across a single Guard or soldier, if the IA knew anything about the plan, it would make sense that someone should try to stop him. Shrugging off those feelings, he takes another look at the torn fabric in his hand and makes for the exit, peeking out through the door and finally confirming his suspicions.
In the passage, there stand several Elite Guard, like stone guardians. What to do, Oliver thinks to himself. He is disguised as a servant and it's not uncommon for a Burmecian to work in the Palace, but they would obviously be on the alert for Burmecian servants, but then would the papers fool them and then, what of the device. He shuts the door, then begins to search the library for anything that would help him move the device without it being seen.

" Hopefully my leg holds up...Something tells me we aren't going to be fighting any normal soldier..."
He smirked as they continued to jump from roof to roof making their way to the warzone. He was careful with every jump to make sure his leg was alright, with each jump he got more reckless like he normally was.
" Alright! It's feeling pretty good...Gwe..I mean Wendy did a good job with the healing..."

::Back outside, the senbon needles Yami through have pinpoint accuracy, and thanks to their size they're able to penetrate the niches in Iole's tough dragon hide. She roars and spins out of the way of an incoming missile from a ShinRa jet, flying below it to take out its engines with a blast of her fire. It crashes to the streets below in a fiery ball. But her flight pattern's been thrown off thanks to the attack, and she crashes into the outer battlements of the Lindblum Palace. She changes back to her human form and rolls to a stop in a much more graceful landing than last time. She winces as she works her shoulders so the needles can fall out. It's then that she sees Yami. The girl's eyes as well as her odd placement at a time like this gives away her true nature. Iole scowls::
And you are?
::Meanwhile, as Connolly and Sid along with the reinforcements prepare for the incoming assault, another figure materializes next to them::
Connolly: Whoa... don't do that. I could have shot you.
Nyx: The Miss sent me here.
Sid: Funny... she didn't say anything about leaving you here. Are you sure there's not another reason you chose to stay behind with us?
::Nyx looks straight ahead at the street and says nothing::

"Yami." she replied is a soft emotionless voice. ::She rasies her right hand up as it turns into a blade, pointed at Iole:: "Your shadow." ::She then rushes at Iole, blade poised to strike::

::Iole raises her claw in time to catch Yami's blade, pulling it to throw Yami into the wall. The girl leaves an impression where she was thrown, confirming Iole's suspicions::
One of Nu's then huh? Funny...
::Her other arm changes into its draconic form::
I never did like playing with dolls.
::Elswhere, Alicia feels a presence above her and thanks to Galeon's slowed pace, she catches sight of him::
Astaroth: Well that didn't take long.
::She leaves her men where they are, letting them fend for themselves. Those soldiers and the LPA are no concern of hers now. She's found what she was looking for. The blue color of her eyes spreads to cover her skin as she sprouts her wings and her blond hair darkens to black. In a gust of wind, she rockets from the ground, no longer the IA secretary. Just a demon with an itch to kill. She swoops over Galeon, knocking him off his feet with a wing to the head. He slides a few feet along the roof::
Astaroth: Good to see you again Son of Jenova.

::She gets back up, not even feeling the impact. Her left hand rasies as it turns into a shield, her eyes still emotionless. She raises infront of her, sword arm moved back to strike::

::Iole growls under her breath. She'll be damned if this soulless brat is going to stop her from reaching Oliver. Little girl or no, a villain's a villain, and she has discovered her willingness to kill::
You've been reading too many stories little girl. Let me tell you how it happens in real life. The Dragon wins.
::She charges Yami again, using her claws as her weapons::
(OOC: By the way, who likes the music?)

::Yami's shield holds as she is backed. But she side steps, letting Iole fall to the floor:: "You're wrong." She said that voice. "I'm no knight." ::Her sword arm changes into what appears to be a whip before cracking it. She goes to whip Iole's back, but misses at the last second. She backs up to keep the distance between her and Iole, her shield arm returning to normal::

::Yami's whip strikes the ground as Iole falls onto her hand and cartwheels back to her feet::
Knight or not, you're going to lose. There's someone I love in there, and nothing is stopping me from getting to him.
::Iole rushes her again, dodging her blade and grabbing her by the wrist, pulling her forward to knee her in the gut. It's harder than Yami expects because she's hardened her skin. Then Iole whirls around, delivering a kick to the side of her head::
What is it you want out of this fight? Or do you have nothing? Maybe you just like to kill.

Galeon stood up looking at the blue demon.
" God damn it...You know if you had waited like 5 minutes I could have done that myself..."
He smirked standing up dusting himself off.
" Can't really say the same of you though..."
He moved his hand to his sword just in case she tried attacking him like that again.

::Astaroth twirls her wrist elegantly as a scythe materializes in it. She spins it expertly and readies to strike::
Astaroth: I should have killed you when I saw you and the Cetra in the Crest. But it's more interesting like this I suppose. I hope you can make this at least a little fun for me without all your powers.

::Jas stops as he sees galeon attacked.He saw it was Astaroth that attacked him:: "Gal!" ::He goes to draw his blade, but Galeon puts his arm up to stop him::
Galeon: Jas go. I got this one.
"But-"
Galeon: Go! I got this!
::Jas hesistates for a second before he and Kyran turn around:: "Don't die Gal."
::The two take off, leaving Gaelon to face the demoness::
Was it a good ideal to leave him behind to face that demon?
[glow=white,2,300]Don't worry about him Jas, Galeon can take care of himself. With what he learned from you, he'll be fine.[/glow]
I hope so.
::Elsewhere::
::Yami gets to her feet::
Yami: My only concern is fighting you. No one else matters to me. ::Her arm changes into what appears to be a cannon:: I know your dragon powers can protect you from any attack. But apply enough force ::A ball of Ultima magic fires out of the cannon, hitting the wall next to Iole, breaking through it:: even a dragon's hide will give way."

::Iole shields herself as the rubble falls on top of her. She's completely covered by the fallen wall as Yami steps a little closer to inspect. But the rocks start to shake, and the white dragon bursts from beneath, taking to the skies again. She flies higher to breath a jet of blue flames where the girl is standing, lighting up the entire walkway::

Oliver finds himself a push-cart, laden with books and sets the device in the bottom of it and covers it with random books pulled off the shelf. It's not a great over, but better then walking through a group of Guard's with a bomb strapped to his back. He adjusts himself, breathes in, to calm himself. Then puts his hands on the cart and pushes it to and through the door.
Keeping his head down, he wheels the cart towards the Guards and when he is upon them, a beefy hand lined with armor, stops him. Figuring what they wanted and not wanting to look suspicious, he immediately stops and hands the Guard the forged ID. A few, long moments pass as the Guard inspects them, then hands him back. "Carry-on."
Oliver nods, and wheels the chart past them. His stomach is in such a knot now, he thinks he could be sick, choking down those feelings, he continues wheeling the cart towards the dumbwaiter and stairs down at the end of the hall.

::Yami raises her arms the shield herself from the flames, her dress getting scorched in the process. The flames die down as her arm shields return to normal. She looks up at Iole before she aimed and fired::

(OOC: Wow Loci, you weren't kidding this really did turn into a cluster. Nowhere near as confusing as the Sands War though)
::IOLE::
::Iole dodges the blast from her cannon by crashing into the wall she's standing on, letting Yami fall from her perch::
::Nyx::
::Nyx's ears visibly twitch as her senses kick in. She conjures her twin katana's as the Regent's guards draw near::
Nyx: I knew it was you, Sensei.
(OOC: I'd do something with Astaroth here, but tell you what Galeon, since you're better at action than I am, I'll let you take the wheel for a bit and I'll add parts that come to my head, like counters or dialog)

With Yami
::Yami drives one of her blade arms into the side to slow her descent::
With Kamikaze
::Kamikaze closes his eyes as they continue on before he stops:: "The rest of you stay here. I'll go ahead. If I'm not back in three minutes, continue on."
::He walks ahead and dissapears from their sight. His eyes close as he changes back to his true state:: No need to continue with my Maxwell guise. ::His eyes close as he hears her::
You were always sharp. But I'm afriad this is one battle you and your friends have lost.
::With Nu::
::Nu stands in the center of town that has yet to see any fighting. His arms are crossed and his eyes closed as he waits::
You're near Jas, don't keep me waiting.
