"Who're you tryin' to fool?" Cid raised an eyebrow at Loz, "At least don't p*ss your pants or anything..." He ignored the weird feeling from the sudden jump to the front of the inn, concentrating on what was going on around him instead.
-------
As the group arrived on the scene, the first wave of clone troopers ran forwards to meet them. One wielding a sword jumped straight for Vincent, bringing his weapon over his head in a frontal attack. A second one dodged off towards Jared, raising the gun he held to try to get a clean shot at the younger kid. Four more troopers quickly joined the fray, one dodging behind to try to suprise the group from the back, dodging quickly through the obstacles, his sword held in a honed stance.

Vincent fired away with the Cerberus, dropping several of the clones with a few precisely aimed headshots... He caught the clone rushing him with the barrel of his gun and shoved him back, blasting him in the face as he did so.
Jared ignited the Angel Cry and began striking out at the first wave, unleashing a spin kick on the clone in front of him and swinging at another with his blade as he regained his stance... he twisted his blade around and plunged it back into the one trying to sneak up on him without even turning...
Jenova let out a horrible scream that shook the earth below her... she charged up an energy ball and hurled it at the group... Yazoo sprang up at it, firing away with his melee pistols, decreasing the ball's size and momentum as he sent an energy blast of his own at it... the two attacks collided and created a massive, spectacular explosion that flung him backwards through the air... Jenova laughed cruelly as he crashed into the ground, leaving a skid mark, and quickly attempted to regain his balance... a clone tried to catch him off-balance and he unloaded a generous amount of lead into him...

The clone troopers quickly regrouped, despite their dwindling forces. Seeing Vincent's attack promted three to go for him at the same time; two diving in from the sides with blades aimed at his shoulders, and one moving straight up the center, keeping low to try to avoid the range of the man's gun. The clones near Jared ignored their fallen comrades, leaping over them in an effort to wound the boy. One tried to pary the Angel Cry from the front, while another behind aimed and fired at Jared's back, almost as if they could read into each other's thoughts and plan how to attack.
Cid was thrown a little by the horrible scream he heard from the sky, and nearly missed blocking one of the clone's swords. Mentally slapping himself back into concentration, he twisted the end of his spear upwards, flinging the trooper's weapon up, then quickly spun around and stapped the man in the chest. Seeing another soldier dodging in from the side, Cid spun again, slamming the stabbed soldier into the other one with force enough to knock them both back. He'd thought he'd gotten a little rusty, but it was all coming back very quickly.

Akira dashed across, deflecting the bullet aimed at Jared right into the head of the clone that was coming down on him. Throwing his sword, he cut the head off of the clone who had fired and joined the battle. (((This is Cid's group right, but I got a little lost and don't know where Cloud's group is.)))

Joey, observing the action through psychic connection to Jared, nodded with satisfaction. "I think we can safely say they are fully engaged, guys," she commented, turning to Kamen. "Soon as you're set... we're going in."
Joey sealed the party into another speed envelope... it took a lot less energy out of her to do that than it took from Annie to charge teleportation envelopes... Reno and Rude braced themselves... Amnesty's jaw tightened...
****
Jared glanced back at Akira. "Thanks for the assist," he commented, blocking the blade of clone that had tried to parry him and plunging forward to run him through... he moved back to cover Akira, spinning the Angel Cry in his hand to pull the plasma charge trigger, hoping the core had recharged enough in the past few hours to become useable again... he unleashed a stream of energy charges into the incoming wall of soldiers...
Vincent saw the two diving at him from the sides and ducked under them, letting them collide with each other, stabbing one another from opposite directions... he slipped back and finished them off with a couple of shots from the Cerberus... The third launching itself at him had to jump over his fallen brothers to reach him... he aimed the gun directly between the clones eyes and made a quick dispatch of him, swiping at him with the gun's barrel so his still-flying corpse wouldn't get its sickening green blood all over him...
Two clones sprang at Cid from behind, trying to get at him while he was still exposed by his counterattack, bringing their energy blades down towards his back...

Kamen took a deep breath before letting it out slowly. He set up the barriers and shields, making sure there were no faults. He opened his eyes and smiled weakly at Joey. "Ready...."
I don't feel like RPing Nikky right now, nets acting weird si I'll wait a bit.

Sephiroth jumped back, deflecting Cloud's strike with barely enough time to recover.
'Still the irritating wart... even to the end, Kadaj.' Sephiroth said in his mind, jabbing him back at his mental "companion". As the two personalities fought, a line formed down the center of Sephiroth's body and the features on the left side slowly morphed into that of Kadaj. Sephiroth didnt falter though, he sent his right side into a flurry of strikes at Cloud, trying desperately to knock Cloud off-balance long enough to break free.

Cloud saw the battle progressing, the war of minds... Hold out long enough for the Remnant to get loose and then... it's no holds barred. He blocked his enemy, going on defense for now... waiting for the right moment...
Just a few more tiers left to hack... then I'm out of here, the young Remnant thought to himself. He felt his "brother" attacking and shoved back angrily... This is MY mind, you son of a b***h. The energy he needed to sustain the seperation AND fight off the Template was wearing him to a raveling... but he couldn't afford to give up or get tired...
A scream of rage and a blinding flash... Cloud dodged back, not sure what to expect next, keeping the Buster in defensive position...
The light faded out, and he saw two figures directly opposite each other, knocked to the ground by the force of the seperation...
Cloud moved in on Sephiroth, trying to make the most of his advantage, pulling his blades apart and swinging down the larger of the two at Sephiroth's ribcage. Kadaj had put everything into getting himself loose from his Template... he was out cold.
****
Joey's speed envelope was ready... she zipped through the middle of the battlefield, where the troops were thinnest, towards the contingent of twenty-some protecting the room where Xima and her children were still hiding...

Sephiroth just managed to swing his sword around to block in the knick of time, sweat beading down his brow as he quickly regenerated his strength.
"All he has done is robbed you of a distraction Cloud..." He said as he pushed his way back up to his feet.

Kamen just stayed firm with his shields as he watched them curiously. He bites his lip slightly as he waits.

Kadaj slowly pushed himself off the ground with a groan.
He saw the Template regenerating and gritted his teeth, suppressing a curse. Without even thinking, he brought his blade down on Sephiroth's, pushing as hard as he could with the little strength he had left.
"According to you and 'Mother'... I have a knack for sc**wing things up, so what does it matter?!" Kadaj screamed.
Cloud redoubled his efforts, an access of anger surging into him. "I've had enough, Sephiroth..."
Kadaj pushed harder. "If you think YOU'VE had enough, try having him take over your body someday."
Cloud concentrated on the fight, but he was thinking... Already did, clone boy.
Kadaj leaned closer and spat in Sephiroth's face. "You can't touch me now. And if you don't like that, you can shove that d**n long sword of yours up your a**."

Sephiroth twitched as the saliva struck his face and he kicked as hard as he could into Kadaj's gut, burying his boot deep into it, then rolling backwards and shoving Kadaj off him while getting some distance between him and Cloud.
"Well your right about one thing, you do fail a lot..."

Kamen could feel pressure and swirling emotions. He chewed his lip and strengthened his barriers for security.... He didn't feel like scaring anybody so he worked on maintaining their hidden selves.

"Give me one good example, Dolly," Kadaj snarled back, charging at his Template from the right and swinging the ancillary Souba at Sephiroth's head. "Failure... excuse me, but you can p**s off."
Cloud charged Sephiroth from the left, the Buster at ready, held upright at his side as the distance closed...

Sephiroth ducked under Kadaj's strike, then slashed at Cloud, snagging the fabric of his jacket. He then launched himself into the air, kicking Kadaj in the face as he did.
