Who: Kadaj, Open
What: Just messing around
When: Late Afternoon
Where: Midgar
Rating: PG-13


A motorcycle stood seemingly abandoned at the base of a giant pile debris that was once one of the generators that lined the city limits of Midgar. However it's owner was at the very top overlooking the ruined city. The silver haired young man wearing his black clothes had once died, not too far from the spot he was at. His bright green eyes looked through his silver hair out to that area. His face was brimming with curiosity. He had been there for almost half an hour just looking, wondering why exactly he was drawn to it.

Then a thought crossed his mind that made him begin to leap down the pile to his bike. But he stopped short when he noticed that someone was holding his motorcycle, beginning to walk off with it while looking around every now and then. But never thinking to look up.

"No, I don't think so." said Kadaj as he sat down. He raised his arm and turned his palm up to the sky.

Shadows began to rise from the ground. Kadaj's eyes widened with surprised. It wasn't the shadow beasts that answered his summons before, but instead black creatures with yellow eyes. The man had stopped and turned to see those take shape.

Kadaj's surprise turned into morbid curiosity and with a lofty wave of his hand, they leaped at the man, who screamed and managed to run a few feet before they pounced on him. It was quick, but what came next made Kadaj snap up instantly to his feet and watch, enraptured by what he was witnessing. The man's body was nowhere to be seen, in his place was another of the yellow eyed creatures, but it look different, taller than the rest. More humanoid. Not only that, but he only saw a glimpse of a red light escape into nothingness from the attack.

Kadaj stood there, looking dumbstruck before he began to giggle uncontrollably. He dismissed the shadows as he laughed, leaping down the rest of the pile and onto his bike. Once he was sitting on it, he pulled out his phone.

"Curiouser and curiouser." he said to himself, smiling as he began dialing a number.

Garnet ran up behind Glenn, and panted hard for breath once she'd stopped near him and Serge. She really should have been used to running so much, but given the large healing staff in her hands, that had been a difficult venture.

"You were...supposed to wait!" she gasped out between gulps of air. She had been about to say more when she finally caught sight of what was going on before her. She guessed who Serge was right away based on what Glenn had told her of him, and that left the other two to be Sephiroth and...someone related to him? She didn't know, but the mere sight of the ex-SOLDIER filled her stomach with dread. She only felt that before when facing down Kuja.

Sephiroth was about as baffled by the sudden appearance of the rose as...well, any sane person would have been. He raised an eyebrow at Glenn, then just smirked and shook his head. Of course that troublesome knight would show up again.

"Come for another beating, have you?" he asked.

Waiting for an opportune moment to strike, Kadaj's entire being stopped moving when a rose sailed through the air, piercing the dirt at an angle. A few petals fell gently. The cloud of dust Kadaj had been within had deteriorated showing a slack jawed Remnant.

Wielding two sword and wearing a tuxedo, a young man named Glenn joined the battle. Even Serge had found this quite ridiculous. Shaking his head, snapping out of his stupor, Kadaj heard his brother address the knight. So, it sounded like a rematch.

But a feminine voice made Kadaj look over his shoulder.

A curved smile coated his lips when his eyes fell on a brunette that was out of breath. Bearing that in mind, he looked back to the battlefield.

"Well big brother. Would you like to finish the fight with Glenn?" he asked, using the warrior's name even though he had only just heard it now. "I'll make sure our friend here doesn't interfere." he said glancing to Serge.

The Dragoon glared at the ex-Soldier, raising his Einlanzers to strike. "I guarantee the results will be different, Sephiroth. I may have underestimated you before, but I assure you..." He held a blade against his own face, his glare still present. "I will kill you and find Ms. Lockheart!"

"And he isn't alone!" shouted Serge, coming to his friend's side, poised to strike with the Mastermune. "Be careful though, Glenn. The younger one seems to be almost immune to light."

"Dagger and I watched from the sidelines. We know what to expect..." His blade aimed towards the the dark duo, he mentally gave the orders to his knights. 'Wave 1, assault the enemy. Wave 2, defend the white mage at all costs'

The knights nodded, half of them, six to be exact, flew by their master and Serge's side. The other seven, including King Arthur himself, stood by Dagger. Glenn wished he didn't have to involve her in any of this, but it was her choice to follow him, and he had to respect the wishes of a warrior, no matter their specialty. He eyed Kadaj, his glare shifting to him now. The way he just stared at Dagger...he clutched his swords tightly. He needed to end this quickly.

White and green auras enveloped themselves around Serge and Glenn, respectively, intensifying with each passing second. They glanced at one another, nodding.

"Let's do this!" Serge vanished, a trail of white light in his wake.

Glenn chuckled. Often he wondered why Serge was the leader...until times of trouble such as these. "Just try to keep up!" The Dragoon vanished as well...

And both warriors appeared in front of Sephiroth, each holding back their weapons before going through the one-winged angel, passing him by with their weapons. They knew someone of Sephiroth's strength could easily block suck an attack...which is why they slid underneath the giant sword, striking the ground instead, a furious crimson X carved itself into the ground, fire seeping through the wound given to the earth.

"X-Strike!"

The White Mage gave a nod to Glenn appreciatively as the knights he summoned blocked her from any attackers. She knew how to defend herself fairly well, and understood the risk she gave everyone by just being there. Still, she had her duty...and she had promised Glenn they would journey together.

Immediately Garnet set to work casting Shell and Protect on both Serge and Glenn, and she even cast Might on them as well just to give their strength a little boost. Something told her they might need as much as she could give.

Sephiroth, amused by the two warriors, slashed and parried both their strikes with ease. He knew the extent of Glenn's abilities well, having fought him before, and at least a sample of Serge's had been shown to him when the blue-haired man fought Kadaj. Provided the knight didn't blast him to hell with as much Light magic as possible, Sephiroth figured he would do quite well against the two. That White Mage would need to be taken care of, especially if she was to cast Regen on either of his opponents. That wouldn't do at all.

One of the attacks that came when the two passed him by caught his sword arm, and he grimaced slightly. He berated himself for not being careful and turned to give chase. Shadow Flare again was cast and blocked their attacks at him for at least a moment. It was all the time he needed to slip around to Glenn's side and make the hacks at him he needed.
