He was pressed against one of the walls, eyes gently lowering and resting there in silence. But there was no silence, there were sounds of screams and pleas from below, though muffled, the chaos was evident. His eyes flickered completely open to look over at his companion warily every now and again. This was his ally, it was hard to register. Perhaps she could do more than what she appeared to be capable of. She could prove to be useful, maybe it would be in his best interest to look after her as well then.
When the prisoner began to stir, so did Nero, tipping his head to glance in sidelong into the cell.
“Ah…yes. It seems the lass has awakened. Born into the light, confined in the dark."
Nero turned his attention to their prisoner, Lightning was her name, he had been informed. That was good. He had made it a point to ask her for her name the other day when they met, so that he could ultimately have the satisfaction of robbing it from her when she succumbed to inevitable, inescapable darkness. It slipped his mind then, but things worked out on his part in the end.
He turned his attention to the younger girl, he was not sure if that was her name, he ha not said much to her since they arrived at the peak. It was possible that Lightning’s eyes were deceiving her, but she spoke with a certain knowing as though their past interlocked far beyond anything he would ever know.
"Oh, is that right? You two seem to be…already acquainted.”
Yeul kept quiet, barley saying a word within her duration of the stay with her new allies. She feared them, and she was left defenseless if one of them were to decide she proved to be useless to them, which most of the time she felt as if she were. Although, she was starting to warm up to Nero, he wasn’t as malicious as the others and seemed to actual care for her safety, which Caius would be pleased with if he were to ever return to her side.
Kidnapping Lightning was a tough one, she had visions of the mission being successful, but it was hard to execute personally for Yeul, knowing she trusted Lightning and wished to be by her side if she knew Caius would never return. Yeul was too obedient, she felt as if her life depended on this mission, and she knew that she had to do it without a word.
The seeress still was weary of talking to Nero as they stood by the unconscious Lightning Farron, guarding her in case anyone were to try and challenge them. She didn’t think Lightning would remember her, but was relieved when she had called out for her upon awakening.
Yeul nodded to Nero’s words, still not daring to speak, then walked slowly up to the cell that held the pinkette. Standing above her, not daring to show her weakness.
“Hello, Lightning.”
Nothing more than a snarl was given in Nero’s direction. She was focuse solely on Yuel. What was she doing here? Standing with them? She didn’t belong there. A mixture of anger and disappointment whirled around in her. If need be, when all this was over, and Lightning was either freed or rescued, she would take Yuel with her.
“Yuel, what the hell are you doing here? With them?” She held back the anger from seeping into her voice. It was obvious that the seeress didn’t want to be there, but it was far too dangerous to say so.
Soon though, she looked at Nero, her posture now straightening until she was standing tall, pain still throbbing within her skull. “What is all this about anyways? Why the hell am I here?” Letting go of the bars of the cell, she folded her arms across her chest, glaring at Nero. Her eyes though, every once in a while, would flick to Yuel in case there was a change in expression.
Of Kidnapping and Destruction | Lightning + Nero + Yuel [STORY EVENT]
Lids shifted open, her eyes adjusting to the dim light of the unfamiliar surroundings. The commander was on her front, laying on the floor of…a cell? She lifted her head slowly, pain suddenly making itself known in the back of her skull. What the hell had happened anyways? Once minute she was walking to Bikanel, and the next, she was here.
The floor, made of stone, was cold and damp under her. Slowly, and painfully, she arose from her position on the floor and held her head. Examining the room, she noticed that there were three walls; all made of stone and appeared to be just as damp as the floor. Where the other wall would normally be, steel bars replaced it. The light source was pouring in through the bars, and she could make out two shadows.
The dripping sound of what she assumed would be water, although she was unsure, rang in her ears as she stumbled over to the bars and held on to one of them. She looked over the figures. One looked like…Nero. The guy that pissed her off the other day. And the other was smaller. More feminine. Her eyes adjusted a bit more.
The Emperor of Palamecia has begun a full-fledged assault on the City of Bevelle with Sephiroth at his side. In his legion are not only the demons of hell, but many faces whom have lined the walls of wanted posters for years. Take up arms, heroes, and defend your port city!
The cries throughout the city of civilians being slaughtered are too great to ignore. Bodies line the streets of men, women, children, and all those who failed to vacate upon fear being struck into the city. The Hellish Castle of Pandaemonium has but one goal— to C R U S H Bevelle! There are two teams: RESCUE and ATTACK. To be on the Rescue Team, message us with ‘rescue’, to be on attack, message us with ‘attack’.
Protagonists: Attack those destroying Bevelle or the Castle Pandaemonium itself. Climb up the stairs and try to defeat those attacking! Rescue comrades in trouble— how do you call for help?
Use the tag SF!HELP and be sure to track it. This can be used by both Protags and Antags. If you require assitance, make a thread calling for help and you will be assisted!
Antagonists: Each antagonist is posted at a separate part of the city. Here is how they work:
Kefka Palazzo: Burning everything in sight, this man is responsible for the deaths of those in the lower quarter!
Kuja and Kadaj: Sent to deal with those who wish to interfere, you must defeat them to get past! Be careful— time is not on your side!
Auron and Vanitas: Guarding the upper quarter, you will need to get past them to enter the Blitzball stadium!
Genesis and Seifer: Guarding the spire entrance— inside is a legion of Demonic Fiends. Beat them and kill the demons!
Sephiroth and Mateus: The top of the spire, they cast the magic to bring Pandaemonium closer as well as fending off intruders. This battle will be impossible to do alone. Group up.
HOW TO ENGAGE: Want to engage someone in battle?! Tag them with this format in your starter:
