Who:  Larsa and Anyone.
What:  Attacking Rabanstre.  Maybe something else
Where:  Rabanastre?
When: Around sunset.
Why:  Couldn't do so at the ball.

[Just an FYI.  if never got posted, but Larsa lost his heart, stolen by Vayne when he wasa heartless. ]

He was moving slowly, looking at the streets he used to fondly wander, glancing at a few people who eyed him with a little smile.  Perhaps they would die.  Maybe he could kill them first....If they kept staring.  With a shake of his head he moved to stand by the palace,  smiling at a few ot the guards as they let him by without much fuss...No one truly knew the boy was currently a leader of the Heartless, and that they were crawling in everyone's shadows.

The young male chuckles softly, motioning with a twitch of his fingers for the creatures to rise and attack.   It wasn't soon before panic and all hell broke loose, the smaller male running as much of the other's hand, slowly pulling his rapier from it's place and attacking what he could, though not seriously.  He would bide his time, and be ushered inside by the guards, perhaps.  After all, most people of any worth or fighting talent would probably end up coming to protect their queen.

Minerva had spent her time with Genesis and when they parted ways, she decided to do more exploring. From the party she wandered on over into Rabanastre, exploring it thoroughly. She was fascinated at the fact that it was walls all over the place but it was wide open spaces up above. She thought that she'd get sick, since she's inside-a-building-claustrophobic. She had made a trip over to the Sandsea and took a look at the Hunt boards. Basically it was a day for gathering information. But she made it back to the Palace and saw the Heartless swarming everywhere!
Minerva hadn't come across them before. Although she knew such creatures existed on her planes and she wished them gone! They stole people's hearts and would not let them come and be part the great circle of life and join her in the Life Stream. With a flick of her wrist, she was no longer in her gown from the night before, she now stood there in a skirt with knee high boots on, and her sleeveless top. The top covered her chest, and left the valley between her breasts open and on down towards her stomach and closed again at the waist line. Then the armor came over top of her chest. She pulled out her bow and began fighting the Heartless creatures. Knowing it really wouldn't do any good. She knew the key to killing the creatures were three kids. But that didn't stop her from attempting to kill them.

Zack had been upstairs with Lightning at the time, and when the Heartless broke out, he quickly lifted a foil from a foppish nobleman who didn't look as if he knew how to use it. Then the Shadows began clamouring up into the upper level where there were more people dancing, mingling, eating, and doing god knew what else. He wished he had his Buster Sword, and his comfortable SOLDIER uniform or pirate outfit, but this would have to do.

Grunting on impact, he shouldered a Shadow aside, spun, and slammed his foot into another. The suit was restrictive, and it wasn't long before the quick extensions of his limbs shredded seams and tore fabric. "Lightnin'! Keep yer eyes peeled, this's bad! Where's Snow and th'Queen?" it didn't matter that they'd been punished by her, she was still the Queen, and he flew in her skies. Zack knew better than to declare war over a few scars.

Lightning was stood nearby. Well. Not stood per say, but hovering mid-air. Her hands were glowing as she shot lightning bolt after bomb after lightning bolt at the Heartless beneath her. She hadn't even seen them coming and within moments, there they were, swarmed by them. Her hands were already stinging from the spells she was casting and it was beginning to become obvious that she should've brought her weapon.

"I can't see them anywhere!!" She let her quick eyes scan the crowds in between aiming spells and throwing bombs. It was crazy! They were supposed to be having a chilled night out with smalltalk no one would remember and copious amounts of alcohol. Not a night full of battling the Heartless!

"Uh, well, we'll hafta do what we can, then!" Zack, ever the quick thinker, focused and fired off a blast of sound into an approaching mass of Heartless, shadowy little bodies exploding outward. "Follow me!" then, without the grace of his partner's gravity magic, he leaped off the indoor balcony onto the dancefloor below, hitting the ground in a crouch and spinning with his foot out. Several people, and Heartless, hit the floor, tripped by the sweeping kick, as he righted himself. That should be enough space for Lightning to land.

"Snow! Queen Ashelia!" he shouted in a loud, commanding voice, wincing as a creature mauled his arm, claws sinking in deep. Gritting his teeth, Zack stuck his foil into his belt, and grabbed the little monster, squeezing it's head in a grip like iron, tearing it off his arm, and hurling it at one of it's fellows. "This is insane! Everyone, fall back, get into a defensive spot and watch your damn backs!!"

Minerva made her way into the Palace. Still it seemed like her arrows weren't doing enough. She didn't want to mix her magicks into the attacks, she feared that her powers would be too strong and then... well she really didn't want to think about that right now. She waved a hand in Lightning and Zack's direction, healing their wounds and taking away the Mage's Burn. At least curing she couldn't do an over-kill on, unless it was an undead. Minerva looked about for the people that Zack had called out for. She couldn't see them right off hand.

"Do you know where the Queen is?" She asked.

Speeding like a bullet towards the ground, Lightning swooped upwards and planted her feet on the ground in the space Zack had cleared for her. "I bet Snow got Ashe to safety. He's the kind of guy to do that," she called to Zack, brushing her hair from her eyes and twitching her fingers as, suddenly, her mage burns had vanished. Then a voice asked about the Queen and Lightning blinked at the blonde who spoke.

"We're looking for her! Who are you?" She spoke while casting, though mage burns were always slow to form on her hands, being that she was l'Cie and magic was more natural to her and her kind than normal humans. Even more than Zack, seeing as he was fused with an Esper while she, in all essence, was one. Sharp eyes scanned the ballroom and, with reflexes akin to her name, Lightning snatched a Shadow by its antennae and tossed it to the air, blasting it with a bomb, just before it pounced on Zack's back.

"Nope, butcha'd best," he grunted, diving past Minerva, rolling when he collided with a larger Heartless, in armor, some kind of Knight, and kicked away from it. His foil was in his hand again, and he gestured. Aqua-coloured lightning surrounded the creature, and it looked confused when nothing happened, before he clenched his fist, and the thing -imploded-, crushed by a thunderous roar of magic. He quickly returned to Lightning's side, ignoring the light tingling in his arms from the burns, which faded quickly while he naturally accepted and drew strength from his partner's magics. "Phew.. watch yer back. Dunno where th'Queen'n 'er man are, but the dude's th'type t'get 'er someplace safe, so we'd best do the same." he glanced meaningfully to Lightning, and smiled, mouthing 'Thanks.'

He obviously knew she'd acted to protect him, and was thankful. "C'mon, one've the back rooms should be more defensible."

Minerva nodded her nodded her head agreeing with Zack. She knew who the pair were and didn't offer anything as to who she was. She didn't want them to seek her out later. Fighting off a few of the fiendish devils, she the put a shield pushing them away from the fighting trio.

"Head to the back rooms, I'll cover your backs," she commanded.

She'd at least contain the little devils until something could be done to them. It wasn't in her power to destroy things. But she could certainly contain them for a time until they could be properly dealt with.
