Jenova watched as Iris landed a hit on the Death.
" Come on give me a break..."
The Death headed right back for her attacking with its full strength and as fast as it could slicing at different weak points on the Human body.
The rest of his army of creatures was still creating havoc on th heroes and the town.

Clerian bent backwards, sliding to his knees under the strike as he stretched out his right arm to deflect the other Death's attack against Julie with his own gunblade.
The two attacks were deflected, making Clerian glad he made the switch to using dual gunblades of his own. Holding back the Deaths wasn't as easy as actually blocking their attacks, however. They pressed their own weapons against Clerian's, attempting to force him down. Clerian's muscles strained under the pressure of the two Deaths pushing forward against him.
"Julie..." he said, straining but trying not to show it.

Many blows hit the wearying Iris. She coughed, and knelt down... Took a breath... And thrust her scythe straight up through the Red Death. After tearing through it, she coughed more, and fell back down to her kneeling position, attempting to to maintain consciousness, while trying to also to use whatever aura she could manage to protect herself.

While they waited for Laguna's return, the threesome decided to canvas the immediate area for wounded and otherwise. Cara was sent out, Morgan stayed on standby, and Gabriel continued to prepare the wagons.
"Morgan, I'm just going to take this and make one big wagon. It'll be easier to affix to that vehicle."
Morgan looked back, "If you say so. I must admit, I don't have much of a mind for engineering and such."
Gabriel smiled, "I didn't think so..."
Morgan was taken slightly aback, "Oh... W... what does that mean?"
Gabriel turned to face him, with a defensive look on his face, "Oh, no, don't be offended. I just meant... You seem to focus on... magic more than other things."
"Oh... Okay. Sorry..." Morgan said, worried. He wasn't fully convinced, however, that there was no attack intended in that comment.
Outside, Cara had made her way to another house. She decided knocking was useless, so she went right in. The building seemed empty, but Cara wasn't convinced. She walked through the main room into what seemed to be a bedroom. There she walked over to a closet. She listened carefully... Suddenly, the closet door flew open and Cara found herself under attack!!! ... ... By a little boy.
"Get out of my house!!!" He screamed.
A woman flew out of the closet behind him and grabbed him, "Michael, get back here!!!"
"Uh..." was all Cara could manage.
The woman looked over at Cara, and, with sudden realization, exclaimed, "Oh! You're not one of them! It's okay, honey. She's not here to hurt us..."
Cara fought back the urge to jokingly say 'oh really!? mwahahahaha!'.
The woman put Michael down and looked back at Cara, "My name is Eleanor. My son and I live here alone. When we saw what was going on, my first instinct was to hide my son..."
"So you hid... In a closet?"
Eleanor laughed, "I guess I panicked."
"We're preparing evacuation procedures over at the chocobo stable. If you want, you can come over there. It's probably safer."
"Can I pet the chocobos!?" Michael asked.
"That's a great idea!" Cara said.
"They're so cute!" "You're right, I had forgotten to give one a hug in all the excitement." "You give them hugs, too!?" "Uh huh! I love cute animals!"
"Um... Shouldn't we be going?" Eleanor interrupted.
"Oh, yeah..." Cara lead the two back outside.
"It's worse than we thought..." Eleanor murmured.
"Careful... I don't know how safe it is out here. We should hurry."
Cara got them safely into the stable, "You guys! I found someone!"
"Are they hurt?" Morgan asked, coming over.
"We're fine." Eleanor assured, "My name is Eleanor. This is my son Michael."
"Can we go see the chocobos now!?" Michael asked Cara.
"We sure can!" The two ran to the nearest Chocobo and began obsessing over it.
"We're waiting on our friend with the vehicle. He's going to bring others."

Jenvova watched as the Red Death fell to the ground in front of Iris. He looked up to the dragon who was attacking buildings with its fire. He motioned towards Iris and two more Red Death's approached her from behind.
" Well that should take care of one of them..."
The Red Deaths both charged at Iris at once slashing at her many times trying to get rid of her finally. Jenova then signaled to the Dragon who snet one last devastating blast of flames into Jidoor until it finally disappeared. Jenova then carried on watching the battle.

:A familiar shrieking pierces the ears of everyone in the battle. Bahamut crashes down from the clouds as he always would with Infinity either summoning him or on his back. This time, however, there is a female. Airlia and Bahamut soar past the small group of her allies fighting on the ground. Bahamut blazes lines across the ground, taking out some of the attackers. Seeing Clerian's struggle she sends Bahamut on another pass overhead and dismounts. The summon continues on its tear as Airlia drops down near Clerian. Without a word thus far she unsheathes the Vainslayer and approaches Clerian. The two attackers on him never suspected her until it was too late. Her sword slices them down. She smirks and sheathes the blade briefly to dismiss Bahamut and glance over her shoulder to view the destruction. Airlia turns back to Clerian:
"What have you guys gotten yourselves into??"
(OOC- Alright, I should be back checking this a few times a day, so help me get back into the mix of things to I can regularly post!!)

"What is the meaning of this!?"
The voice, it's Yersinia, approaching behind Galeon.
"You're not suppose to be here! What is this all about?"
She sounds very angry and annoyed.
"Jenova, you can't go out like this without authorization from The Shepherd! This was just suppose to be a quick operation, now... it has gotten out of hand."
She watches as Bahamut begins to decimate her forces. "A summoner... can't be Infinity... Airlia!" She grabs Jenova's shoulder. "This has gone too far, we are not ready to take on a force of this size. I'm going to order a retreat. We have the captives, they are our bargaining chip. We don't need Jidoor."

Jenova looked to Yersinia.
" Sorry, Louis said that my help could be used here."
He looked back to Bahamut with interest.
" A summoner...."
Chaos' memories of Infinity began to go through their head.
"Ah I see..."
He turned to Yersinia, " Alright....Let's leave then....."

"Just, ugh..." Clerian started, lifting himself up, "The usual. Killing as many demonic and unnatural creatures as possible."
His voice was calm and stern, but there was a sense of humor to his words.
"I seem to be starting up quite a repertoire for it," he added.
Looking over toward the spot where Galeon...or Jenova...was spotted, Clerian noticed a female Burmecian with him. They seemed to be distressed.
A few enemies seemed to fall back, but a full-on retreat wasn't in sight as of yet.
"I think your friend scared them off," the young man noted.

((OOC - I would just like to say... Cara is awesome. ;D And a little disturbing too...))
:: Finally, Laguna's armored vehicle returns to the chocobo stable, dragging a small drawn wagon filled with piles of hay and citizens of Jidoor. On its entry back into the stable, the car takes out a small chunk of the other side of the doorway, making it almost symmetrical again. The hatch eventually opens, and dozens of people half-jump, half-fall out of the armored car and the wagon, all seeming very relieved to be back on solid, unmoving ground again. Laguna is one of the last to exit, grinning as usual. ::
"Hey! Found this wagon out in the city. That's one more we've got!"
:: He glances toward the people he has rescued ::
"These were the only ones that would come with me. The rest said they'd rather take their chances getting here by themselves. Wonder why that is...?"

:: Julie remains acutely aware of Clerian seeming to make a profession, or at least something of a hobby, out of saving her in battle. She attempts to supplement his attacks with her elementally-charged gunshots, but she's had to switch back to her regular ammunition to be safer when firing at enemies in close range. ::
Maybe if I was more useful in a fight, he'd...
:: Her thought is interrupted by Airlia's summoning of Bahamut, and the subsequent conversation between her and Clerian. She glances in the same direction as Clerian seemed to be looking, for only a moment, then turns her attention back to the enemies that weren't yet retreating. She diverts her aim slightly and stops using her elemental magic with the next few gunshots, attempting to warn them off. As she does so, she comments to Clerian about Chaos/Jenova. ::
"... I think I recognize him. What's he doing helping them?"

:Airlia approaches Clerian and Julie and glares off to where they are:
"...did I crash the party?"
:She frowns and glances around:
"Where is everyone?"

:Chamber leans back in his chair and squints out the window from the smoke filled room. The silence of Chamber not firing his gun causes Ski to pause briefly:
Ski: "Whats wrong?"
:Chamber turns back:
"Looks like something is going on..."
:He gazes through his scope and smirks:
"That summoner is there...."
:He sets the rifle down and begins opening a case and taking his gun apart:
"Its time to move out. They'll be leaving.."
:Ski ashes out his cigarette without so much as a word and starts packing:

Jenova looked back at the battle. He knew that he could do something about it but as Yersinia said it was not up to him and he didn't ask if he were to come and help. He turned again and flicked his hand behind him summoning his own Dragon. He then pointed his index finger back turning around his finger almost to be used be used as some form of a gun. He aimed it at the heart of Airlia. His finger let out a small blast of poison. If it hit, Airlia would have about a week to live unless Jenova or Chaos gave them the antidote. He then turned again and left his Dragon to do his bidding and destroy what it could. He then disappeared returning to the Smoldering Sanctuary with Yersinia.
The dragon flew up and let loose a rampaging fire from its breath on the town.

(OOC--Life tried to devour me,but i'm back now!I'm not even sure where I am. So...I'll guess.)
::Rainii seemed to have gotten knocked down, though she couldn't remember how or from what. She stands and looks around, noticing Airlia had arrived, and was talking to Clerian and Julie. She moves over toward the three, fighting what enemies were left on the way there.::
"Well, Airlia...I'm glad you've decided to join us."

:The rare smile graces her face as she sees Rainii approaching:
"Rai-"
:Airlia hears the gunshot break the silence. There were no gunshots before that with the exception of the snipers, Airlia starts to turn and unsheath her sword to see what new attacker has decided to enter the fun. As she turns the bullet glances off her blade, shattering and knocking her down:
What the hell...
:Airlia glances up to see the face of the coward that shot her from such a distance:
I'll remember you....trust me....I will...
:Airilia remains on the ground, still stunned:
"That was a bit close.."

"Alright, I'll avoid mentioning this to The Shepherd... Louis and I need to have a little talk."
Yersinia whistles to the Variloa and sends it a hand signal.
"We still have time though, how about a real battle, Jenova? If they wish to bring the fight to us, then let us bring the fight to them. There was an incident a few years ago involving a missiles from a Galbadian base, we've located the remains of one of these missiles silos in the mountains near Deling, it's abandoned, but we believe the missiles are still active. Come, I'll explain more back at the Sanctuary."
Yersinia turns around, scribbles some runes into the air and a portal appears. She steps through, motioning for Jenova to follow her through.
Meanwhile, the Order's forces appear to go into a retreat. The Variloa pulls back, Plague-Coats turn tail and take to the sky, the Death's begin a slow pull back from the city and the surrounding areas.

Iris took a hi-potion from her pocket and used it. "Much better..." she looked back at Jenova, "Leaving? Hmph... Cowardly to hit and run..." She glanced over at the others, noting the distance, then the circumstance. She made her way over. "Hm... Seems that we had a traitor in our midsts..." (OOC: Are we still fighting, or did they call them off? )

"I couldn't imagine..." Morgan commented, "So is everyone alright?"
Cara and Michael finished taking turns talking to the Chocobo, and met Laguna.
"Why didn't I get to ride in one of those???" Michael asked.
"I didn't have one. Sorry!" Cara chuckled.
Eleanor stepped up to Michael and Cara.
"This is Eleanor and Michael." Cara explained to Laguna, "I found them in the house over there." She motioned off in some direction that nobody really could tell.
Gabriel stood in the back of the room, watching as the people came out.
Hmph... A waste of effort... he thought. He hid his scowl and continued with his work.
"I guess we've almost got this together." Morgan added, "The only question is, where should we take them?"

Jenova walked through the portal after Yersinia, glancing back at the fleeing forces. He quickly un-summoned his own dragon as the portal vanished.
((OOC- Nope no more fighting here, unless you want to fight between yourselves?))
