((OOC - I think it is the World of Balance, Morgan. As for my post, I'm leaving it at this for now just to give your characters one last chance to talk Laguna out of it. ;D))
:: The crash into the stable wasn't exactly intentional, but it got the job done. Laguna hops out of the vehicle just in time to see Gabriel introducing himself, and hear the details of their plan to evacuate the citizens being worked out. Laguna himself does make one more contribution to that process. ::
"Y'know, it might be a better idea to just keep using the armored car here to pick people up and bring them to the stables. The Order seems to be ignoring this building for now, with all the chaos going on out there. Then once we've got a wagon loaded up, someone can drive it out of town as fast as a chocobo can drag it!"
:: The explanation of his variation on the plan is accompanied by several enthusiastic gestures, making it seem a lot more dramatic than it really is. ::
"If we've only got one driver on board, we can probably take on about a dozen or so. Fifteen if we really cram 'em in there. So I guess I can take it out for another spin..."

:: Iris' attack caught Melaina's attention. After igniting her whip with her fire elemental magic and striking the nearest Death down, her eyes shift slightly toward the other combatant near her. ::
Another one who is more than she seems...
:: These humans are a much more interesting race than she had originally assumed. Melaina realizes once again that she might have to reconsider her attitude towards them. Maybe, eventually, including her human father. ::
:: Yet another of the Black Deaths approaches, wielding a nasty-looking curved blade. Melaina's eyes shift from blue to red, and dark-elemental energy flows over her whip. She lashes out quickly, knocking the weapon away first, then follows through with a lower attack. In defiance of normal physics, the magical energy around the whip causes it to harden a bit before striking. The Death is blown away, and likely knocked unconscious. ::

:: Julie smiles at Clerian's comment, trying to resist the urge to laugh. ::
"I thought you always expected the worst."
:: As more Deaths approach, Julie concentrates on taking them down. Her powerful magic ammunition is attracting a lot of attention, but it's also doing enough damage to make up for it. And with others she knows and trusts nearby, Julie's not finding it that difficult to concentrate on the battle, rather than worrying about things too much. ::

A large blast erupts in the middle of the fray of Deaths, throwing them skyward. Moments later, Nahla and Rafee emerge out from the battle line, slightly charred and bloody.
"To town!?" Asks Nahla, panting as Rafee and her stand beside the Hijrah's cargo bay.
Rafee nods. "I'll get the chocobos." He runs inside, followed closely by Nahla.
Several minutes later, the two emerge, armored up and ridding upon two of the ships chocobos. Rifles on their backs and a saber readied in their off hands. The bay doors close as they gallop off towards the center of town where the battle has now moved too.

"Okay... Cara and I will help Gabriel until you come back. Remember... Priority on the wounded..." Morgan stopped, then blushed, "Though I forget who I'm speaking to, President Loire..."
"Thought you looked familiar..." Gabriel mumbled in a tone that was only actually audible to Cara.
"What was that?" Cara asked, wild-eyed.
"Oh, nothing..." Gabriel retorted.
Cara gave him a look. Who is this guy, really? A visitor to town? Huh...

((OOC- Ah, I guess it would have been a good idea to tell everybody haha, my character ,Chaos, had Jenova cells injected into is body way back when and Jenova took over in the other mission to rescue Miguel and joined the Council in trying to revive Loci, and seeing as my character is male and Jenova is only in his mind I just say he. But yeah he was then sent here to deal with some trouble makers.))
Jenova watched as the Deaths slowly made their way to Julie, and Clerian attacking whatever came into sight. He then looked towards the Red Coats.
" Go, kill them all."
The Red-Coats disappeared from the side of Jenova. They then appeared beside some of the Deaths on their way to the group of heroes.

[OOC: Ahh, alright. I didn't see that part, so thanks for clarifying that. It was confusing as hell ]Clerian took Julie's joke lightly, even smiling slightly as he jolted forward to exchange a few blows with a Death before slaying it. "True," he said through lightly heavier breathing, "I must be losing my touch..." Noticing a group of Red Coats appearing in a march toward their position, Clerian warned, "Looks like we have some new friends to play with." His humor stopped there. "They don't look like your average hellspawn..." he noted, getting a dark feeling from the sight of the Red Coats. This wouldn't be fun...

:Chamber leans back and begins reloading:
"Looks like we're keeping them at bay so far, but its only a matter of time we get on the move to meet up with the group. We're going to be noticed eventually.."
:Chamber finishes and relaxes for a moment:
Ski: "Yea, I agree....plus sniping isn't my thing."
:Ski leans back and picks up a cigarette that is sitting beside him:
Ski: "So.....have you really spoke much with that Rainii girl?"
:Ski grins and exhales smoke:
"What makes...what? W-w-why you say that?"
:Chamber half smirks and turns his eye to the scope:
Ski: "I see how you look at her..."
:Ski leans back in the chair and kicks his feet up:
"Bro....shes out of our league.."
:Chamber clenches the gun and fires off another shot:
Shut up...just shut up..

:When he noticed some Black Deaths coming by Kenny took out his blade in one hand and began to take them on one by one as it was a tough task while he was protecting Iole as well.:

::Rainii mentally curses herself for wanting to be in a battle such as the one she was currently in, wondering what continues to possess her to want such stupid things.::
Seriously...why don't I want anything nice and pleasant? Like...a vacation, or a nap?
::The deaths continue to try and block her from the rest of the group, and are beginning to succeed, much to Rainii's annoyment. She strikes out with Dissention, killing one and injuring another, but finds that another quickly takes the fallen one's place.::
What to do, how to fix, uhh...
::She searches for an opening, even a tiny one,while keeping the deaths at bay, but comes up empty. Suddenly, she gets a brilliant idea.::
Why didn't I do this earlier?
::She summons the Dragon, and grabs onto it's claw as it flies up and away from the Deaths encircling her. It deposits her some distance away, and heads back to attack the Deaths, giving Rainii just a moment to breathe before she begins to fight again.::

:: Laguna gets back into the vehicle. ::
"Don't you guys worry! This isn't my first rescue mission, y'know."
:: He is still grinning at Morgan and the others as the hatch closes. A moment after, the vehicle lurches forward and into a tight turn. The turn isn't exactly tight enough to make it through the doorway, though. As the armored car exits the stable, it takes a bit of the left side of the doorframe out with it. ::

((OOC - I'm confused... are we fighting Red Deaths or Plague Coats? I don't see anything about Red Coats in the Esthar thread...))

[OOC: Good point. It was Jenova/Galeon's mistake in naming the Red Deaths, 'Red Coats', and somehow before that, people kept calling the Plague Coats, 'Black Deaths' and other names in the first place. I'm not even going to investigate this one, it's just been screwed up from everyone using the wrong term, so there...clarified. Plague Coats = standard enemy we've been fighting; Red Deaths = elite soldiers that Jenova just summoned.]

((OOC- lmao Sorry guys, must have gotten them all mixed up trying to read them and then kinda put them together..haha sorry again.))
Jenova looked on as his Red Deaths advanced towards Clerian and the group fighting around him. The Red Deaths finally made it to the group, with their swords in hand they attacked the group slashing at each hero one by one.
" Good...finally something might happen..."
A Red Death slashed at Clerian's head while another slashed at Julie's gut.
Jenova looked up at the Dragon that Rainii summoned.
" Oh wonderful...a dragon...."
Jenova then made some movements with his hand and the ground began to shake. A large Dragon of his own began to mold from the ground beneath him. He stepped out of the way as the Dragon lifted off and flew straight for Rainii's dragon. It caught up to it and latched onto it with its claws and began to bite at its neck.

With a slight relief from being attacked, Iris turned to the dragon assaulting Rainii, then to it's master. "I knew he wasn't to be trusted..." She raised her bow, took aim, and fired icy arrows into Jenova's dragon, asserting her aura to fend off any ground attack that may catch her off guard. (OOC: In response to Chaos' future reply: I'll still fix it.

"He's almost as destructive as those horrors attacking us..." Gabriel said shaking his head.
"I think he's a riot!" Cara laughed, "If only he were a little younger..."
"Okay, you guys... Let's get things set up as best as we can before he comes back. We'll need to focus on the civilians, then."
The threesome got to work. Cara keeping one eye on the door.
I wonder if they know what we're up to...

((OOC- Not actually on the Dragon, but dont worry bout it hehe))
The Dragon roared as the arrow hit it. Jenova looked to Iris as another Red Death appeared at his side.
" Deal with her...now..."
The Red Death bowed and disappeared appearing beside her and went to attack her but was sent back by her aura. Jenova blinked and motioned his hand again as the dragon began to plummit with Rainii's dragon still with it towards Iris.
" That should take care of her...." He laughed again.

Iris watched the dragon come down at her.
"Hm... I seem to have become the prime target." she waited a moment, setting her bow, knowing that the massive beast's maneuverability would diminish the closer it came. She then blinked out of it's path, reappearing a short distance away.
"Miss Loire needs assistance!" She called out, hoping someone had an idea to get Rainii out of danger, as she had none.

Jenova looked at the dragon and then Iris.
" Your target isn't beneath you anymore dispose of the dragon..."
He spoke to the dragons mind. Once th dragon got the message it began to change its angle and as it got closer let go of Rainii's dragon sending it flying to the ground. It then flew up and then fly down sharply its claws in its back legs outstretched. It pierced the Dragon with them then grabbed the dragon by the neck and turned it's head to face its own. It then spat out a dark blue and green flame into its face.
" Good..."
Jenova then motioned with his hand to a Red Death that then appeared beside Iris and hoping that blinking away like that would have dropped her aura and it began to attack her rapidly with its curved sword.

Jenova was correct in thinking Iris' aura would be weaker after just blinking, but her intuition was still as strong as ever. Sensing the danger, Iris took out her scythe and swung it around. She wasn't able to deflect all the blows, but she found the right spot to strike. Her icy scythe dug into the Death, taking it off it's offensive. With this opening, Iris reasserted her aura as much as she could and continued to fight back.
