Neiro looked up as Lillith and Kenny created a path through the demons.
" That works..."
He jumped above the demons and landed in the path. He then started running through the path slicing the demon's heads from their bodies as he ran.

*Jas's blade changed into a pair of whispy greeves before he fallowed, his speed magnified by the wind itself. As he got to the reactor, he waited until the others got behind him before unleashing a roundhouse kick, creating a wave of cutting air that decapitated some of the demons*

:Kenny stayed close to Lillith after they flew and managed to combined there magic to take out some of the demons. Just then he saw a demon trying to jump at them but the Knight was ready:
"Don't think so"
:He quickly threw a dagger with a red handle into the head of the demon as it begin to engulf in flames from the magic of the dagger:

::Lillith watches wide eyed as the demon that had been about to attack her from behind is engulfed in flames. She points and smiles at Kenny::
That was hot.

*Jas stops as he feels someone else was there with them. He looked ot the top of the reactor and sees a cloaked figure. He couldn't tell if the person was male or female due to the fact the person had a mask on. They heard a voice inside their heads, but it was more like a whisper, making it hard to tell the gender of the voice* All of you, head inside and deal with Jenova. *The figure jumped gracefully from the top to land on the ground next to Jas* I'll handle these demons.
"Who are you. Something about you doesn't feel right."
You'll know who I am when the Calamity is dead. Be warned, Jenova's fire knight is waiting inside.

Neiro caught up with the others and saw the hooded figure. He looked at the others.
" Friend of yours?"
He was panting slightly from fire based attack he cast earlier he wasn't quite as adapt in magic as his brother or the others.
((OOC: We have a special guest if you will, coming to join us for the final fight...Once they have posted we shall begin the fight inside the reactor))

::Lillith takes Kenny's hand again, and the two of them fly over the heads of the demons to the reactor's entryway. Before they land, a wave of them forms a blockade, leering at them with their eerie blue bloodthirsty eyes. Lillith holds out her palm, sending a blast of air at them, throwing them off their feet. When they land, she slices the nearest one across the face with her rapier::
Come on! The Reactor's open!

*Bang Bang BANG*
::What sounded like gunshots erupted from the other side of the battlefield. A group of demons crowded around what seemed like a single man. A vast group. It was obvious that someone was in the center of this horde. Monster after monster jumped into the center of this scrimmage, hoping for a piece of this new intruder. ::
*Bang Bang BANG BANG SLICE*
::One by one the monsters jumped in, and one by one they flew back. Each gunshot and each slice took out each opponent with a well aimed blow. The figure in the center was making his way into the army, a move that seemed like suicide. When focused on, this lone fighter seemed to be dancing within the circle at incredible speed.
*BANG BANG SLICE SLICE BANG*
::The weapon being used was obviously a gunblade, though a high powered one.
The figure suddenly jumped floated in midair. A simple floating spell sustained this fighter above what seemed like a twister of immovable armies.
Then it happened.
The ground shook and cracked, rumbled and crashed, until a vast amount of demons were on the floor. Maybe not killed, but definitely wounded to a great degree. The spell Quake was always useful for large groups.
In fact, the fighter seemed to have wanted to be engulfed with enemies. The spell seemed to have been more effective with a higher density of targets in the perimeter. The figure landed, and before more waves of enemies could move in, what appeared to be copies of the same fighter emerged from the ground and stalled the oncoming attack.
The main fighter took this advantage to run to the mako reactor entrance, where Jas, Lilith, Kenny, and Neiro waited:. A monster seemed to close in on the fighter as he approached the entrance and, with a sound an accompanied BOOM, fell to the feet of the warriors with a cartridge emptied into its chest. The barrel of the fighter's gunblade smoked.
The fighter eased his position, looked at the warriors, and without hesitation, quickly raised both hands::
"Don't worry, I'm on your side. I'm here to help at the last minute."

(OOC: Ooo I have a guess, but I can't say anything because Lillith doesn't know him. Man did I pick the wrong time to kill off Natalia)
::Lillith holds her rapier at the ready. Its blade sparks with electricity::
I'd ask you to prove that, but we don't have much time. So I'll cover the basics. Who are you?

::There wasn't enough time to properly respond. Creatures had already run up the mountain to catch up with the warriors.
On a quick reaction, the newcomer had cast the spell "Wall". Several monsters crashed into what seemed like a magical barrier.::
"My name is Crohan Mechanly. I was sent from Balmb Garden for support. But I suggest that we enter as soon as possible"
::Crohan quickly entered the reactor without waiting for the others::

::Lillith and the others start there way up the mountain, but Lillith's eyes are trained on the newcomer's back. They didn't have time for this right now, but she knew for a fact that this man was not who he said he was::
He is not Crohan Mechanly. Crohan died three years ago. And besides that, he didn't carry a gun-blade. He carried a sword with an unmarred blade and a reflective surface that never dimmed. But... he does look like him. And his style is pretty similar. Where's Jas? He'd know if it was him or not.

*Jas saw the newcomer and heard him call himself Crohan* He's alive? It looks and sounds like him. No, it must be an imposter. Crohan never used a gunblade, he used that strange sword I always seen him carrying. Strange now that I think about it, I never once saw his blade in need of repair. *Jas saw the newcomer run into the reactor as they neared it* "Crohan or not, that guy is going to get himself killed running into a battle without knowing what's ahead." *As the demons came fallowing them when wall was broken, they suddenly found themselves unable to move as rocky hands grabbed their feet from the ground*
Go inside. Like I said, leaves these small fry to me. said the figure as he/she stood behind them.

:Kenny noticed the newcomer who called himself Crohan and shook his head a bit but shrug it off as he followed closely with Lillith to the reactor. He had a feeling that this person can't be Crohan:
It can't be Crohan, Sorceress told me that he perished. I don't know what to think now.

::As the others were catching up, Crohan had time to quickly search the small pack-type bag he carried with him. He pulled out five little rings that were given to him for the assignment. One for each, Lilith, Kenny, Jas, Niero, and himself. He waited until the others approached before giving them his little gift.::
"Take these. They were supplied by the garden as backup. They're Fire Rings."

Neiro ran after the others and the newcomer who called himself Crohan.
" That name sounds awfully familiar...like its from a story I've herd before..."
He shrugged it off and then took the fire ring Crohan gave him.
" These will help against Ifrit for sure... Lucky you had these Crohan.."
He smiled sliding it on his sword hand as they continued to run further towards the actual entrance to the Reactor. Once they got there Neiro stopped them in front of the doors as he looked back at the demons.
" Alright...According to that other person Ifrit is right inside here....Before we go in maybe we should find out more about you Crohan..."

::The heroes seemed to have gotten to high enough ground that it will be awhile before they have to worry about the ungodly army behind them. They're lighter on their feet than their enemies. Now Lillith decides it's a good time to confront this new visitor. She holds her blade up again. Arcs of electricity run along its thin sleek steel, its light dancing over her features and reflecting off her odd green eyes::
Yes Crohan, why don't we get to know you better. You can start by telling us how you returned from the dead. Didn't think we knew? Disrespecting a hero's memory like that puts a very bad taste in my mouth. Now tell us who you really are.

::He merely looked at the girl with the electric sword. He raised his hands slowly::
"Calm down Lilith. I really am who I say I am. That I AM Crohan Mechanly."
::He lowered them slowly once again, and glanced at Jas and Kenny, then back toward Lilith. The dangerous one.::
"In the end, no matter who I am, I am here to help. I was assigned from Headmaster Cid to aid you all. Balmb Garden was severely affected from this event, and so wanted part. They had information regarding this particular mission, which explains how I know your names and why we need these Fire Rings for our friend up ahead.
"That explains the basic mission portion. The information that you needed to know. Now I will give you the information you want to know."
::Crohan pulled out his gunblade. A gift from someone that he held as "special"::
"I arrived at Balmb Garden from Esthar. During my stay in Esthar, I was attended to by the daughter of President Loire, Rainii. She gave me this."
::He studied and fingered his new weapon. Even more precious than his previous weapon, Assilem::
"She found me, nursed me to health, and provided me lodging for a time until I was well enough to return to the Garden. I do not remember exactly how I lost my old sword or why I have returned, I can only testify that I am here. Rainii Loire will say the same"
::Crohan did not put his weapon away. He only looked at the others.::
"That is all there is to tell. As a soldier assigned only as support, I await your orders."

I still don't believe you are who you say you are. And since we don't have time to confirm your story with Rainii, you'll have to prove it.
::She thinks to herself, contemplating what she could ask him that only the real Crohan would know::
I happen to be good friends with a man who once tried to kill you and one other. His name is Shaft. There was an occasion where he nearly succeeded because you threw yourself between your friend and his spear. Where did that happen and who were you protecting?

::Such a waste of time! Trying to prove that he really was Crohan wasn't going to change the fact that there was an army after them, nor the fact that there were Elemental Lords awaiting them. Arguing, however, would not speed up the process::
"Utterly childish, Lilith."
::The memory of Shaft flashed in his mind. The answer was related to Natalia::
"The Island Closest to Hell, and a friend of mine named Natalia. Any more time you want to kill in leisure?"

Actually, I'm good. Shall we run?
(OOC: Alas, I must turn in for the night. I open the store in the morning. Lunch rush is... terrifying)
