Escape

[coerl]

Azul eyes narrowed into slits and his fist were clenched, veins popping out through his arms. No...now is not the time..i have to find a way to escape...to meet with Weiss...then i can have my revenge on those accured AVALANCHE...but how...then he saw that within the chaotic swirling of the Lifestreams, he was only floating towars a specific direction. The same direction that was pulling his materia...no...not pulling...his materia was attracted by the flow. Then he remembered his lessons. Materia are crystalized Mako, which is condensed Lifestream. These crystalized and condensed Lifestreams usually appear on the surface on the Earth due to them being less densed than Lifestream. Like ice on water.
Azul hoped that he would resurface soon. Then he could quickly meet up with Weiss, his fellow Tsviet. And then his revenge.

[belzee]

A man stood in the distance but not to far from Azul. The man simply watched as the Tsviet floated towards him. The stranger stood motionless with his arms crossed and his mako eyes piercing through the lifestream. There was no expression on his face as he watched Azul slowly move towards him. The condensed mako was guiding him towards the surface of the lifestream. “Weiss is expecting us,” Belzee stated once Azul reached a close enough distance.

To have thought, that Azul had just reawakened just now. While he was asleep Belzee had to recollect himself after his mind was fragmented and his mako composition was separated and spread across Gaia after having been absorbed by Omega. He had reconnected with the entire lifestream of Gaia and now he was able to hear the screams of pain and agony clearly once again.

There was another long moment of silence between the individuals. Weiss and Genesis were planning to bring back Omega, and they were gathering the former Tsviets, DG members, especially the fragments of Sephiroth. Belzee had to thank Nero because he was the one that helped Belzee in regaining his former self.

Azul gave a nod to this man in front of him. He must be very powerful to be able to travel into and find me in the Lifestream. Azul grinned. How well will i fare against him? But he kept his thoughts to himself. "Where shall i find Weiss?" His mind whirled with a dozen other question. Who are you? What is Weiss doing? Where are the rest of the Tsivet? But he shrugged them all off. I shall find Weiss. And after i met up with him, the rest of the questions shall be answered. Then he focus back at the man in front of him, waiting for his answer.

Genesis stood far back and observed Belzee's actions

so...Azul is awake...good

Genesis took off and circled the area, leaving behind a trail of gleaming black feathers...

[glow=red,2,300]"i think...its time wet met..."[/glow]
He said as he suddenly spead directly up to Belzee and landed a few feet away, sending up a large gust of icey air and feathers...


Genesis stared directly at Belzee for a moment...
[glow=red,2,300]"i see...the Goddess has touched you as well...brother"[/glow]

[coerl]

Azul stared at the new comer. Another stranger. Azul shook his head. How long have i been away?

He begun to appraise the young stranger. He has the confidence and the grace of a swordsman. But he have ignored me by speaking directly to the other stranger without acknowledging my prescence. A good fighter take all his opponent seriously. Well...he is either very strong or very stupid.

Before Azul can make his judgement, he noticed the gleam of his eye. Ah...mako...this is interesting. "And who may you be?"

[belzee]

Azul had asked Belzee where Weiss was. It was presumable that Azul had many questions in mind. It was understandable as to why he would ask for Weiss, because if his mind was full of questions, most of those questions were probably things that Weiss could only answer. Of course there was also Genesis, and Mother. Perhaps Azul had forgotten who Belzee was, that wouldn’t have been a surprise.

Suddenly a gust of wind and the presence of another disrupted the atmosphere and flow of lifestream. Before Belzee answered Azul, he tilted his head facing upwards while fixing his gleaming eyes of mako onto the newcomer. “That is Genesis,” Belzee introduced in an unchanged tone. “He is the one that is leading the next Omega event with Weiss. Genesis and Sephiroth are much alike you see.”

Before Belzee was able to reply to Genesis, his eyes looked over Azul and he saw a swarm of creatures coming towards them. More specifically, they were six poodlers and three sahagin. There was no doubt that they had been here for quite some time, possibly after the havoc caused by Chaos and Omega. The change in their appearance which included their bodily structure was proof of mutations, leading Belzee to believe that they had been in these ruins for awhile. Perhaps these were the only few that were able to survive the exposure to lifestream.

“Weiss is nearby,” he simply stated as he turned away and guided himself through the surface. He was brushing off the existence of the creatures that attempted to attack them. Azul’s awakening and Belzee’s presence, especially the presence of Genesis, probably attracted the creatures’ attention. However, Belzee had no intention of wasting his time with them. Instead he took hold of a steel bar and lifted himself out of the lifestream and onto steel ground.

When he looked back to see Genesis and what action Azul was going to take, his mako eyes reverted to it’s dim, monstrous, appearance.

Genesis locked eyes with Azul...

[glow=red,2,300]"so...you have forgotten your monarch?"

"then perhapse i can 'help' you to remember"[/glow]

Suddenly Genesis seemed to blur and was almost instantly next to Azul...

[glow=red,2,300]"i give you...your memories..."[/glow]
he said as he plunged his had straight into Azul's head...

After the transfer was compleate, Genesis withdrew from Azul and turned to face the monsters...

[glow=red,2,300]"pitiful creatures..."[/glow] he said with a hint of boredom...

[coerl]

Azul felt as if he have been thrown to another dimension altogether. Words, speeches, visions, emotions and knowledge all rush into him. Then he was back to in the real world. His vision still swarmed but discovered that he was kneeling on the ground. He looked at Genesis. So, the brother of Weiss. "I swear my allegiance to you. As you command, i shall obey." Then Azul turned to Belzee. This guy is still a mystery. But he knew enough that Belzee was an ally, A fellow Tsivet. And a powerful one. Reminds me of Nero. Mysterious and powerful.

Then Azul noticed the creatures rushing at the group. And heard Genesis's voice. "pitiful creatures." Azul gave a hearty laugh. "Time for a little warm-up." Without further ado, Azul unslung the cannon strapped at his back and fired an opening salvo at the creatures.

The stream of blue laser streak towards the enemies, completely disintegrating one of them and scattering the rest. Rubble and dust filled the air as the monsters rush towards them. "U guys not joining in?" Azul grinned. As he took aim at another of those creatures and prepare to have his first warm-up after a very long time.

[belzee]

With the air covered in smoke and Azul ready to release another devastating wave, a poodler jumped out of the water and hurled through the smoke and towards the armed man. With its tentacles extended it attempted to cover Azul’s face while casting petrify. During that same time, three sahagin came bursting out of the smoke as well-one hurling the trident towards Azul from the left, the other on the right, and one from the top.

Suddenly, two poodlers jumped out of the lifestream in an attempt to attack Genesis. A physical attack was executed from beneath Genesis while petrify was being cast behind him. One of the poodlers had been annihilated by Azul, thus only two remained hidden under the vast lifestream.

Belzee looked away as he said in an aloof manner, “There are more significant matters at hand.” However, just as he did, one of the two poodlers that remained hidden emerged from the lifestream and hurled towards him with a physical attack. With his back facing against the creature, he took hold of its tentacles with his left hand extended behind him. He then took hold of the other end of its body with the right hand before tearing the creature in half and throwing it away behind him.

After approaching the door that allowed him to enter the area he saw that it was now blocked. How did that happen he didn’t know. But he had an idea of a cause. It was probably due to the turbulence formed by Azul’s attack before and during the impact of his attack. Belzee chuckled. It was awhile since he saw Azul’s power. Belzee turned his body slightly while analyzing their surroundings. Through the smoke he saw a ladder leading to another door, and a ceiling chain stood close to it. The chain was roughly thirty seven meters long, and it led to an open part of the ceiling.

Of course there were other ways of getting out. One way was to destroy the blockage and proceed back towards the top floor of ShinRa headquarters, but there was the chance of being toppled over and crushed by the worn down structures. Another idea was to use a different door, however that would mean that they would be taking a different path, which he would probably be unfamiliar with, and for all he knew it might not lead to the outside. There were openings on the ceiling, so it was possible for Genesis to carry Belzee outside, but the problem was if Genesis was able to carry Azul due to his mass. Perhaps Genesis brought, otherwise can call over, a helicopter. Belzee sighed, wondering what to do.

[coerl]

Ripped. Azul head at ripping sound behind but didnt bothered to care. He was faced with a problem, his enemies are at his left, right, up and in front. He thought of stepping back, to dodge the flurry of attacks and then to give a counter attack. But there's the problem of the spell. Heck. Whenever a problem occurs, Azul prefer to settle it head on, this time literally.

Azul rush forward, under the swipe of the poodler's tentecles and headbutted it in mid spellcasting, halting the spell from taking place. He heard skull cracking and 3 whoops as the harpoon thrown by the sahagin miss their mark. Before the momentum of Azul's attack can carry the poodlers away, his left hand snake out and grabbed one of the tentecles and threw the poodler at one of the sahagin trying to retrieve its trident. Both of them shot towards the door and crashed through it. Azul wanted to fire his cannon at the remaining sahagin but he discovered that his initial shot have unstablized the already unstable building. Without any further thoughts, he dropped his cannon and ran towards the remaining two sahagin.

Legs pumping and kicking up columns of dust, Azul ran towards the sahagin who are now armed again with their trident. One of them rush forward, while the other move to his right preparing to flank him. The one in front thrust out aiming at Azul's stomach. Without braking his stride Azul lept and kicked, the thrust missing him by inches, both his feet landed at the sahagin's face and it crumpled a few feet away without a sound. The last sahagin at the right side thrust out, thinking to assault Azul in mid air where he couldn't move freely. Azul used the momentum from his kick to do a back flip and landed on his feet, fully balanced and step towards the sahagin. His right palm swiped away the trident, which is quickly followed by a punch from his right arm. The shagin's head snapped back, but both of Azul's arm flashed behind his head and guided it towards his knee.

With the last sahagin falling to the ground, he begun to look for Belzee wanting to see how he fight. But he saw the blood and body torn into half at Belzee's feet. Damn, i missed it. Then he swerved to look at Genesis and he smiled. Time to look at how the brother of Weiss will fight.

[OWEED™]

Genesis could sense the poodlers as they lept for him...


*sigh*

[glow=red,2,300]"...die"[/glow]

Genesis slowly raised both arms and blindingly red light shot from his hands straight into both Poodlers, mid attack.

when the flash of ligh faded the poodlers were seared husks of their former sleves sizzling and steaming on the cold floor...

[glow=red,2,300]"now then..."[/glow] Genesis said as he re-orriented on Azul, [glow=red,2,300]"i noticed you destroyed the door...no matter, there are...'other' wyas of getting out of here..."[/glow]

Genesis raised one hand and closed his eyes to concentrate...

....................................GOT IT

Suddenly a MASSIVE column of blood red light shot up into the heavens, melting everything it touched...

when Genesis finally lowered his arm a HUGE hole had been made at a 45 degree angle, which Azul should just BARELY be able to walk on...

Suddenly the effects of the blast finally began as the entire structur began to groan and shudder from the sudden loss of stability...

[glow=red,2,300]"now...i've had my fill of this place...shall we leave...brother?"[/glow]

[belzee]

Belzee turned his body slightly just enough to see from the corner of his eye the red light shooting into the sky. He simply rolled his eyes when he heard Genesis call Azul brother. Belzee still remembered the insult Weiss made about Azul and the rest of his comrades when he spoke to Genesis. Yes, it was during that day when Genesis saved Weiss’s life. The fragments of mako from that day held those memories ever since. However, these memories were only kept in mind. “The cries of the dead are becoming stronger,” he said as he approached Azul’s right side.

All the creatures were eliminated except for one, but it fled due to the loss of its allies and the shaking noise of the unstable structures. The cries of the dead were disrupting Belzee’s mind. If it were to continue like this he would end up losing consciousness. He placed his right hand over his unnerved expression and onto his forehead.

[coerl]

Azul gave a grin when he saw the power displayed by Genesis and it was replaced by shock when Genesis refer to him as brother. However he caught himself and gave a bow, to be exact, just a small nod of head but with an element of respect. "The cries of the dead are becoming stronger," he heard Belzee said above the rumbling of the unstable building. "Well, its about time we leave this place." Azul lept through the hole Genesis have created and looked at the horizon. "Lead on....brother."

Genesis smirked and took off, zooming out ahead of Azul...

Slowly he turned in mid flight and tossed a small red object at Azul...

[glow=red,2,300]"take this...I believe it was once yours..."[/glow]

now he has he shield materia back

Genesis mused to himself...

[coerl]

It was once mine? Azul shrugged to himself and gave a nod of thanks to Genesis before inserting the materia into his armour. He trudged forward and asked. "Does Deepground have any new plans when i was...asleep?"
