Welcome to Gaia! ::

Tseng waved away the question irritably. The pain in his arm was getting really quite intense now.

'They're following.'

Yazoo grinned, his green eyes flickering with the satisfaction of knowing he had the upper hand. "The boy is right, Tseng..." He called out mockingly, as he slowly advanced." You really are in no condition to fight...So I'd suggest you step aside, and let us have a little chat with your President."

Marlute nodded, at least because he was uninjured he could give Yazoo a decent fight, at least long enough for Tseng and Rufus to escape...and that was all that really mattered. "So then, it's up to me to make the first move...." He whispered to himself, gathering his courage. Almost too quickly to see, he whipped his wrist out from the inside of his jacket, dashing forward as Yazoo was stunned momentarily from the shock of getting cut by four of Marlute's blades. "Go ahead and get out of here...!" He called out, without even looking back. Before Yazoo could even recover, he had already given his enemy a swift kick across the face, knocing the silver haired man back a few feet.

Rufus sat in the ready chopper, watching the fight as it commenced. And when Marlute made the first move, his eyes went to Tseng, knowing the man was going to come this way for them to take off.. Sitting back in his seat, Rufus sighed.. No one else had shown but Tseng.. And he didn't look like he was in that great of condition either.. Were the others ?

((Short post no jutsu!))

Saerenna finally made it to the top and rushed ahead to the battle taking place. She quickly took in what was happening, and before doing anything else, cast a quick Cure on Marlute. She stayed back a ways, not wanting to get too close and get in the way of anyone. "You all right?" She asked. Noting Rufus in the helicopter, she nodded that at least he was fine for now. She was fairly nervous about the whole idea of an actual life threatening battle, but did the best she could to brush it off. She began her spell to cast fire on Yazoo.

Yazoo had had enough of fooling around...with a angry snarl he sidestepped Marlute's attack, and dashed towards Saerenna, grabbing her by the throat. "Honestly, do you think you even stand a chance against me...?" Still holding on to the girl, he fired off a few shots at the helicopter, trying to damage it enough so that it couldn't take off.

Yazoo gasped as the daggers hit his hand, causing him to drop his gun. "Tch...." Retreating back a few steps, he let go of Saerenna, and pulled the blades out, letting them fall to the the ground. "you little brat...you'll pay for that." He growled, his eyes burning with rage.

In one quick sweep, he had cleared the distance between Marlute and himself almost instantaneously, and unleashed a full force magic based attack to the Turk's chest. It would have been easier were his brothers there to help, but Yazoo was determined to regain Jenova, even if he had to kill every last person who stood in his way. Turning quickly, he walked over to his gun, and picked it up again. Though his hand hurt, it was almost unnoticed by him, with his goal in sight, he felt almost invincible.

Striding forward he approached the helicopter again, a sly grin slowly returning to his face. "Rufus....I'm so sorry, but it seems I've grown tired of your entertainment. Let's end this ridiculous chase here and now."
