::Hearing the second soldier say he's calling for back-up, Dragon-Iole clamps her jaws onto the Magitek, and throws him high in the air. He lands in a heap of scrap-metal. Her strength, and a lot of her blood ebbing away from her, the dragon collapses to the ground, reverting back to a girl. Her torso and legs are bleeding severely::
Iole: Rainii... I hurt. Where are you?
::Her eyes close, and she slips into unconsciousness::

:The lone soldier pauses after seeing his comrad just get torn straight out of the armor. He starts to get his busted machine back inside the gates, but this time it stalls. He leaps over to his comrad's armor to get on the radio and call for help, as he had requested earlier. He looks for the mic, but to no avail, his comrad was holding it when he was torn out and it is missing. The soldier jumps down and makes a break for the gates:

((OOC - Okay, I had a post all lined up, but I have no idea what's going on. Julie ran, even though she was determined to never leave Rainii's side - that I'll attribute to my absence today, which was a family picnic I had totally forgotten about. Iole is unconscious and a dragon at the same time, which Natalia has made an effort to reconcile. Clerian and Rainii seem to be ready to run, but there's only one soldier left and he's running too. Someone tell me what's actually happening so I know what to post. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) ))

(OOC: I can't be sure what Rainii & Clerian are doing, but if you're looking for something to do, Iole is a helpless little girl who is slowly bleeding to death. You could... Oh I don't know, rescue her)

((OOC - Chronology REPAIR! ;D As best I can, at least... ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) )) :: Julie watches Iole revert to her human form. Instinct overriding all logic, she rushed out into the fray to scoop up the girl in her arms, carrying her as she fled. :: :: Julie wants to stay with her sister, even as Rainii waits for Clerian, but Iole shouldn't have to be in battle like this. She keeps running until she reaches the place where Moomba was waiting. She lays Iole down gently near the creature. :: "Moomba, I want you to protect her. Don't let any soldiers even touch her." :: Moomba nods, a fiercely protective look in its eyes :: Moomba: "Grr... Grr..." :: Julie nervously fidgets with her pendant, which she doesn't notice is beginning to glow. :: "I just wish I could do something for her..." :: She brushes some hair out of the unconscious girl's face, unknowingly channeling energy from the pendant through her hand. As Julie gets up and runs back to battle, Iole's wounds slowly begin to heal... at least enough to keep her alive. :: ((OOC - And now, since it seems the one soldier left is running away, it just doesn't seem right for us to.)) :: Julie runs back towards where Clerian and Rainii are, and sees one of the soldiers running back towards the gate. She feels an incredible anger towards one of the two who harmed Iole, and aims her gun, a solid resolve for revenge in her eyes. At the last second, though, she diverts the line of fire away from any vital areas. The electric-charged bullet strikes the soldier in the knee, and he falls to the ground screaming. :: :: That problem taken care of, Julie faces Rainii and Clerian. :: "We're leaving already?"

(OOC: Umm... I'll go with Julie's post, because she sent me a pm about how hard she worked on it)
::Iole's eyes flutter open. Moomba is crouching near her. Fear rises in her as she recalls what just happened::
Where's Rainii?! And Julie?! And... That other guy?!
::She rises quickly, then almost instantly falls back down as the pain from her wounds resurfaces::

:: Moomba tilts its head curiously at Iole's behavior, and looks concerned as she falls. ::
Moomba: "H-h-hurt?"
:: It motions to itself with its paw, realizing it and the girl hadn't properly gotten to know each other yet. ::
Moomba: "F-f-friend. H-h-help. Julie. Rainii."

::Thanks to Iole's innate empathy for animals (having been most of them), she doesn't find Moomba's speech at all strange. She turns her hand into a paw to match his, and shakes it::
My name's Iole.
::She sits up slowly, noticing that her wounds are slowly healing. She becomes more aware of their surroundings::
So... Should we go help them?

(OOC- I'm lost.....destroy the last soldier....entrance is open....after that prance on in and the party will really begin!!) ((OOC - Last soldier is down. Julie shot him in the knee. Waiting for Rainii and Clerian's responses. I'm not too worried about moving this part forward, though. Since it's kind of a side thing, and it has little relevance to what the main team is up to.)) :: Moomba shakes its head frantically :: Moomba: "S-s-stay! W-w-wait!" :: It looks meaningfully at Iole's wounds. :: Moomba: "R-r-recov... r-r-recov..." :: Moomba pauses, trying to think of a similar word. :: Moomba: "H-h-heal. R-r-rest."

"If you guys are alright to continue, we might as well continue on," Clerian replied, using a Cure spell on his shoulder.
"No sense in letting a city fall without making a few of the Imperials fall in return," he added.
His reservations about letting Rainii and Julie fight were lessened after seeing them take a few soldiers down, so he was willing to let them fight without a word of concern. Still, there was that nagging worry in the back of his mind.

"I'm good with continuing.But uh..."

"Which way should we go?"

Clerian rested one of his gunblades over his shoulder, taking a moment to think.
"We should probably continue through the gate. Maybe we can open up a path for any civilians left in the city who need a way to get out, if there are any left," he suggested, biting his lip.
Looking to the fleets in the sky and the destruction they had rained upon Lindblum, Clerian added, "I don't think there's anything else we can do at this point."
