"Not good, not good at all." Vincent mutters, as he grabs ahold of his radio. "Tresk get us out of here NOW!"
Nahla loads a flare into her grenade launcher and fires it into the air, signaling the Hijrah to their location.
A few moments later the Hijrah swoops in, its cargo bay doors open as it levels out beside Hojo's platform. Rafee is there, ushering everyone to get on board. Miguel jumps from a crubling building and rolls into the cargo bay. Vincent and Nahla are next, jumping from the platform into the ship.
"Get on, the city is going to blow." Vincent yells back, waiting at the mouth of the ship.

:Infinity stands up and closes his eyes:
Alexander I need you to save this city...
:Everything shakes as the city begins to break apart, but it slowly stops as a huge towering machine rises from the earth and looms over them:
Hold it for the time being..
:Infinity opens his eyes and narrows his glare at Loci:

"That was too close for comfort!"
::She set Rainii down before landing herself a bit out of breath while looking at the outside where she froze Loci::
He's not finished....damn it!
::She looked at Rainii::
"You alright?"

::She sighed the adrenaline finally dieing down::
"If we ever have to go up against a mutated virus freak again remind me not to go hand to hand next time..."
::She rubbed her hands, her gauntlets have long sinced transformed back into leather gloves::
"His bones were a lot harder than I thought..."

"Nahla, get on the guns." Vincent commands. "Miguel, head to the bridge and get on the radio."
"Aye aye captain." Both reply simultaniously.
"You two might want to step away from the edge here." Vincent says to Eva and Rainii, he turns his head back to face th outside. "Infinity, Natalia, the rest of you! Hurry aboard or fly off! We don't have anymore time!"

Cherai was thrown some ways from the others in the first initial wave from the cannon. She tried to stand up but the building heaved beneith her, knocking her down. She saw the Hijrah fly in, and began running to it, exaustion blurring her vision and slowing her feet, the building still rocking erratically beneith her feet. Cracks spiderwebbed across the ground, bits crumbled away, and her run became a frantic dance to avoid tripping and turning an ankle, which ment certain death if she couldn't get to the ship.

::She sees that Cherai is having some trouble.::
"Iole!"
::Iole runs up beside her,smiling.::
Iole:Mm-hmm?
"You think you could be a dragon again?"
Iole:of course!!
::Iole transforms, and Rainii jumps on her back. She directs Iole to Cherai's position. They land near her,and Rainii jumps off. She grabs Cherai's hand and leads her to Iole, and helps her get on.::
"We'll get to the ship--we'll be alright."
::They take off,and fly quickly back to the Hijrah.::

Cherai leans against Rainii's back, grateful for the help. "Thank you." She closes her eyes for a moment and nearly falls asleep. She shakes her head and sits up strait, trying to stay awake so she doesn't fall off Iole.
And many thanks to you, little girl. she says to the dragon.

((Those who didnt percure their own escape from the platform area are now magically on the ship, a wizard did it))
Vincent closes the door, hits the intercom on, and yells. "Get us out of here!"
The ship jerks hard as the engines kick into full, shooting away from the city as fast as possible, avoiding falling dibris and massive explosions as the city crumbles.

The city lights up like a white sun, the dark polluted clouds part and the earth itself cracks. The, with an earth rattling sound, the city expodes with biblical like force. The Mako and magical radition add to the effect, creating a concussion that is felt for miles around. The force even smacks the Hijrah, knocking it about like balls in a rattle, stalling its engines for a moment and burning the hull.
The light from the blast is blinding, anyone unfortunate enough to be staring at the city during the explosion would find them selves temporarly blind. When the light fades, the area of Midgar is shrouded in dust and Mako particles. The fate of the city remains uncertain.

"Miguel here." The intercom comes alive. "I'm receiving reports of infect now popping from Bevelle to Wutai and everything inbetween. Trees, plants, animals, air, the sea, everything... it's all infected now. I'll keep you updated." The intercom goes dead.
Vincent appears sick upon hearing those words, he slides down the blukhead till he's sitting on the deck. "Dear gods... the Lifestream... he really did it. He infected the Lifestream. The world is dead, our reality is dead." His voice sounds hallow. He tries to speak again but is unable to find words.
The intercom blars again. "Ya, captain. The dust from Midgar is clearing. You may want to see this. I'm not sure what it may be but there seems to be... well just come to the bridge."
Slowly, Vincent stands back up. "Please, excuse me." He leaves then, for the bridge.
The minute her walks onto the bridge, a strange sight befalls him. Where Midgar once stood is now a strange rip in the world, like a tear in space-time. Behind it appears a world drowned in a sepia ocean.
"Dear gods..."

After glancing back at the others and deciding she wouldn't be missed, she followed Vincent out. She came up behind him as he looked on what used to be Midgar. When she saw it, her breath seemed to catch in her throat. "What is it?" She asked quietly.

::Eva looked out of the docks window feeling a lot of mixed feelings from rage to sadness::
"We couldn't even stop him after everything we've done...."
::She clenched her fist as a tear went down her eye::
"I thought we would've have stopped him here and now..."

*Before the explosion*
=After slicing another that gets in the way, the ground quakes before the cannon fires=
"It's now or never!"
=Charges past the zombies, sword switching back to normal, except with a pinkish aura surrounding it. He gets a safe enough distance before looking away from the explosion. As the flash clears, Jas gets a view of the devistation that remained. but what he finds more troubling is his connection to the Lifestream, gone, as if it just dissapeared= (What has he done) Jas thought.
=The aura surrounding him from the sword was what was protecting him from the mako poison that now infected the land and air around him. He notices the airship Hijrah getting knocked back before the shockwave hits him too, sending him tumbling onto the ground, hard. He lets out a groan of pain as he landed on his wings, nearly breaking them=
(Got to get to that ship) He thought as he tried to fly, but found he couldn't due to the injury. "Hey!" Jas yelled, running to the ship as fast as he could. "Care to give a guy a helping hand?"

:As they ground below Jas breaks apart and he starts to fall into the abyss Bahamut swoops in and snatches him up with its other free clawed hand. Bahamut swoops back over the airship and gently drops Jas and the unconscious Infinity off on the deck. Without losing momentum Bahamut continues off into the clouds where he disappears:
