((OOC: I think Chaos is having trouble getting on the site so i'll post then give him some time to resolve whatever's going on. You can respond or not, I just didn't want to have too many posts in between actions in your battle.))
Zion, still hiding in the shadows, uses the shadow energy he has gotten so adept at controlling to reach out and contact Lucia by connecting to the innate dark energy still in Lucia.
I know you can sense me. I've been meaning to come here sooner. We can speak later, I can see you're busy.
The voice would sound to Lucia as if Zion was whispering in her ear.

(OOC- Sorry guys dont know whats going on with tmy computer or the site but I'm back now)
Chaos seeing that something had taken away Lucia's concentration took advantage of it right away.
Jenova's voice rung through his body, " Attack her you fool, now's your chance."
He dashed at her and with his swords readied to strike he jumped at her and slashed at her body with both swords then as he landed he jumped backwards changing the directions of his swords so that they would pierce her body if she didn't dodge the attack. He then jumped back a few paces and readied himself again.

((OOC: No problem. But... you do know she's still hovering high in midair, right? Sounds like your attack is entirely ground-based.))

((OOC: Didn't take much. )) :: Lucia wants to respond to Zion, but is cut off when she notices Galeon Chaos approaching. She doesn't have enough time to dodge the first attack, but she deflects the follow-through just enough to avoid it. However, she's been brought back to the ground for now. :: "You know... you're really starting to piss me off!" :: With a flick of her wrist, she brings out her materia dagger. :: " Imdesy..." :: The blade glows fiercely with green energy, and she hurls it at her opponent. As much of the blade's energy as possible has been concentrated into the Ultima strike, and Lucia holds Quicksilver ready to fire at her opponent if he somehow manages to dodge the blast. ::

Chaos seeing the blade thrown at him and not hearing what Lucia cast he just tried to dodge and but cast a Protect spell just before it hit so he wouldn't take an incredible amount of damage. He was flung back into a burning building, which as he crashed through the walls fell on top of him.
He laughed as he stood up his cloak ruined from the fire around him. He threw the cloak off revealing his full appearance.
" Now would be the time to kick things up a notch....."
He eyes burst a bright green. He readied his swords and once again cast Firaga and Thundaga into the blades. As he cast those spells the fire around him became a lot bigger concealing him within it. Being concealed within the flame he took advantage of it and made his way to another buidling behind Lucia. He then jumpe dout and dashed at her back and salshed at her body with his swords continuing on to the other side of her and then cast Firaga and formed it into a large ball and fired it at her upper torso.

As the first strike comes in, the shadows behind Lucia seem to become more solid. From the shadows, an arm emerges holding a blade Lucia might recognize. It whirls around to deflect the attacks away from Lucia. When the Firaga comes in, the blade retracts into the shadow.
The shadows all around Lucia converge in front of her and form a flat disc-like object. It deflects the fire ball into the air. The shadows then rise up and take the shape of a man. Zion steps out of the shadows and they disperse. He looks to Lucia and smiles quickly, then looks back to Chaos, dropping the smile.
"You know, it's not very honorable to attack from behind."
He draws out his sword and readies himself for battle.

:: Lucia had almost gathered enough energy for her transformation skill, and thought the next attack would be the one to push her over the edge. Suddenly, something in the shadows defends her. She smirks knowingly, already having an idea who it is. And surely enough, Zion Strife appears. ::
"You know, I can handle this myself. Though... I'm not exactly in peak condition, so I won't complain."
:: She holds out her free hand and draws the Materia dagger back to herself, setting it at her belt again. Facing Galeon Chaos now, she holds her Lightbringer sword ready. ::

Chaos blinked looking at the two of them. He frowned a little bit.
" Now, how is this fair at all? Two on one? Not something I do very often but this could be a first."
The Jenova cells in his body started to gain more control of his body. His left eye twitches a little bit. His hair blew in the wind as dark clouds began to form over the town.
Inside of Chaos' conscious their was another battle going on between Jenova and Chaos. The two fighting over the host body.
Chaos yelled out loud so everybody could hear him, " MOTHER! YOUR WILL NOT TAKE ME LIKE YOU TOOK THE OTHERS!" This of course made him look like he was yellinga t himself.
The Jenova cells in his body spoke to his conscious, " Oh Yes I will....You are puny and weak just like the rest of them."
Jenova took most of the control of the host body again and began casting Ultima in Lucia and Zion's direction sending the spell hurdeling at them.

Zion blinks at Chaos' internal monologue. He, then, realized what was happening. He turns to Lucia.
"Seems you haven't changed much. Still as charming as ever and still hounded by Jenova."
He turns back in time to see the end of the casting of Ultima. He was caught off guard by this but he has time to draw up the shadows in front of him to serve as an attempt to guard the attack. However, due to the force of the attack, it breaks through and sends Zion flying back. The force was weakened so he is able to get up quickly. This, however, doesn't give him much time to counter attack. He draws up shadows around him into a fair sized orb and sends this flying at Chaos. Zion follows in behind his orb, using the attack as cover to close distance. He hopes Lucia was able to dodge more fully and mount a more effective attack.
((OOC- done for the night, just a heads up))

((OOC: Sorry about that. Julie/Laguna lost home internet access recently, so I did too. I'll be keeping up through the library too. And now to respond to all the posts that happened while I was gone.))
:: Lucia almost grins at Zion's statement. ::
"I've got my memories back too. Mother... Lucrecia, that is... must have decided it was time. Quite an affair we had, you and I. As for Jenova..."
:: She frowns, returning to her usual, more serious, demeanor. ::
"It seems I'll never be completely free of her. Even in my sleep, she continues to interfere with my life."
:: She notices Galeon Chaos' internal struggle with Jenova too, as she speaks to Zion. She stops just in time to see him begin to cast Ultima, and smirks. ::
"Right... that'll work."
:: She draws her Materia dagger again. ::
"Imdesy..."
:: She throws it out in another Ultima Strike attack - this time being used to trigger her opponent's Ultima spell just a bit early, allowing Zion a little more time to defend himself. Meanwhile, her black cape seems to swirl around her as she 'winks out' from where she was standing. It took a lot more Shadow elemental energy than she was really willing to give up, but it gave her a perfect opening to draw Quicksilver from her new location and fire a few shots at Galeon Chaos. She hopes even as she's firing that she won't regret the teleport later. ::

Chaos smirks jumping and flipping as both Lucia's and Zion's ranged attacks flew at him. Dodging those two he came down behind Zion as he was following his own attack. He laughed a bit and sent a Flare attack at the back of Zion. He then disappeared and reappeared behind Lucia his blades drawn.
" Your not quite as strong as you used to be Lucia...."
He slashed somewhat slowly leaving quite the opening for a counter strike, as Chaos was fighting Jenova within his mind trying to regain control of his body.

:: Lucia easily deflects the attack - she may not have much Shadow energy left, and her Materia dagger will be useless for some time, but she's hardly out of tricks yet. ::
"You're one to talk. Back in the old days, you could transform a host into hideous creatures bent on the destruction of the world."
:: She considers attacking, but remains defensive for now. Mainly because she's not sure whether Jenova's new host is strong enough to resist her more. ::
"So what's the matter? Your new puppet not playing nice?"

Zion spins around before the flare gets too close and calls up a more solid wall of shadow, which deflects the flare. It explodes into a building, decimating it. Zion turns to see Lucia and Chaos standing fairly close together. He decides anything he may try might hit Lucia as well except for one. He sheathes his blade and begins to mold the shadows, channeling their energy for a more complex attack.

Chaos looked over to Zion seeing he wasn't doing what looked like not being anything to harmful so he kept his eyes on Lucia.
" This host is putting up a little bit of a fight, but nothing I cant handle...."
He laughed as the battle waged on inside his mind. Chaos took control for a second.
" Lucia, I can only hold her back for so long, if there was something you and your friend over there could do to jail her in my body for the time being while I figure out a way to get rid of her thoughts. Then I could keep control of myself and not have this happen again."
Jenova took back control and dashed at Lucia swords readied he cast firaga and sent it pummeling towards Lucia when it disappeared and reappeared behind Zion and exploded. Chaos then started an onslaught as sword attacks on Lucia.

:: Lucia stood ready to dodge the magical attack, but the sudden disappearance catches her off-guard. Her opponent's sword attacks manage to get her at first, but she eventually recovers her defense and parries an attack. She feels a familiar rush of energy, but nothing seems to happen. ::
No... I still can't access my Chaos form...
:: 'Chaos', partially inherited from her father, had proven useful in destroying Jenova in the past. Sometimes even allowing her hosts to survive. Without it, she can't think of anything to really seal Jenova away. If she can battle Galeon Chaos long enough, she might eventually tire and give up for now. But that's the best idea she has. In the absence of 'Chaos', Lucia readies another of her transformation skills. ::
"Don't know if you've seen this little trick, Zion..."
:: Lucia's skin begins to take on a volt-blue, gel-like appearance. Eventually, her cape and weapons disappear, and the rest of her clothes seem to blend in with the 'gel'. The energy she has built up in the course of battle has been used to effect her transformation into 'Electra'. The remnants of her fatigue from her early awakening slip away, at least temporarily, and she can finally fight at full strength in this form. ::

Zion notices the magic at the last second. He hadn't taken this into account when first beginning to prepare his attack but thankfully had stored enough energy for a guard and attack. He uses his gathered shadows to create a half sphere behind him. He isn't fast enough and gets scorched a little.
"Now for the real show."
He mutters this before retracting the shield and moving those shadows back to the rest that he's channeling. Suddenly, Zion stops moving. He, then, makes a small movement and an arm of shadows appears in front of him. He sticks his real arm into it and lifts up. A larger arm of shadows springs forth from the ground and hovers in the air. Zion aims the shadow covered arm at Chaos and clenches his hand. The larger shadow arm shoots straight for Chaos, hand open, seeking to grab him.

(OOC- I'll just call him GC here to amke it a bit easier on everyone.)
GC blinks looking over at Lucia watching her transform into some blue gel like form.
" What in the world?"
He was to distracted by her transformation that he didn't notice Zion's attack until it was to late. he then started to cast Thunaga and aimed it at Zion trying to get himself out of this predicament.

((OOC: That reminds me. Keep in mind I'll be referring to Lucia as "Electra" now, since that's the form she's using.))
:: Electra laughs melodically, sounding almost nothing like Lucia at the moment, despite having the same voice. ::
"Bad choice."
:: In the blink of an eye, Electra's arms have morphed - one into a sword blade and the other a long spike. She steps toward Galeon, making a high slash with her blade arm and stabbing low with her spike arm. She could have absorbed the lightning spell, but she chose to take advantage of their opponent's desperation instead. A very un-Lucia-like thought that follows is a hope that Zion would understand that. ::
