"Okay then, well not the downfall of the trio just one, Tal. Lets see This man Dahn and I fought him, then Dahn spaced out so I had to finish him alone, After the fight, Rain and Hirola had ste up a cage spell so I couldn't get away, effectivly trapping Dahn as well, Then Rain realesed Dahn cuase I asked him to, they fought, Rain won, though Dahn survived, rain even went as far as useing diablos, then he was contacted by Enersafe and was told to let me go, and call off diablos, that's how Dahn survived, and well thats basically it, though i got a nice prize, Tal's scythe, though I'll mainly use my sword, I'm training with it."Leon recounted for Jubei.

JUbei found the differences from the report somewhat surprising and the true parts even more so but he still had a few more questions.
"You defeated Tal. How? He was a Dragon, reputed for his violent nature, never known to leave an opponent alive and twice as powerful as any other Enforcer in his rank, the report states that he used his most powerful attack and yet you walked away figuratively the victor"

"I used my black energy orb on him, and our teckniques collided, causeing an explosion he got the worst of it, and I walk away with his scythe protruding from my shoulder." Leon said making sure to keep eye contact with Jubei." He may have been a dragoon, but my tecknique's base power is that of darkness's truest form, normally no one could survive getting hit by it."

"I'll have to take your word on that"
Jubei was impressed from the sounds of things he simply overpowered Tal
"You have been very informative and I believe truthful as well good to know if we're going out on the battlefield together"
Jubei then tossed Leon a PDA
"I'll contact you when I'm ready to assemble the squad and explain the mission, oh and if your going to remain in Junon for the next two days wear this"
Jubei pulled out from his pack a black uniform [[SOLDIER uniform but nobody today knows that name]] very similar to the one he was wearing
"Legend has it that in times long past the most powerful warriors on the planet wore this outfit"
Jubei looked at the uniform for a moment, it was almost impossible to tell but there was a vague hint of pride and then regret in his eyes as he looked at it.
"Or so I was told long ago, anyway wear this and the Enforcers will recognize you as part of my unit, so long as you remain civil they wont bother you"
Then Jubei looked Leon right in eye, his gaze was both piercing and utterly terrifying.
"Understand this, cause a scene while wearing this outfit and the Enforcers will be the least of your worries"

"I'll stay in Junon, and don't expect me to cause any trouble around there, or I'll have both Matt and Rain plus you now on my butt."Leon said, then he turned to Nyrra. "Well it looks like we might have a couple days to catch up right Nyrra?"
Yeah and even more if you don't go and die in this mission of yours. Nyrra answerd."Noe can we go back to Junon, I'm getting cold."
"Well I don't see any reason to stay out here any longer."Leon said and started walking.

"Now.. I think your under-crediting me a little." A voice called from above a tree. "But you can keep the souvenir." It belonged to a man.. an eerily familiar voice. After a soft rustle of the tree branch the man landed perfectly on the ground. His hair was orange... and his eyes silver. The eerie thing about it... was it looked exactly like Tal. But.. the hair and eyes were completely different. "After all.. surely you didn't think that I was fighting full strength?" The same arm that had been removed from his body... was still attached. Not as much as a seam in it. Though there was something a bit more odd. He wasn't wielding a scythe... rather he had two wave blades sheathed on his back.

Jubei looked upon Tal with little surprise
"I see conquering death can be added to Winters list of achievements"
Jubei watched Leon and his sister disappear into the darkness as he spoke
"Regardless of the fact that you are standing here now, he did defeat you, thoroughly and without the support of your team in all likelihood you would be dead now, all because you made the simple mistake of underestimating your opponent"

As the slightly injured Zane continued on his path, he managed to make a fair bit of distance. However the thing that he noticed.. were to young men fighting. As he got closer however.. he saw a bit more clarity. A black-haired man using Tonfas. And another young man (who looked similar to his opponent) using a set of Gauntlets. ((Matt and Rain dueling..))
However he didn't get this sight very long. Because he was being targeted. With very little warning a blade came plunging upward at him. And only with the grace of luck did he avoid it.
"Damn.. I was hoping to get to feel that wonderful feeling of your skull being crushed in.." A slightly manianical laugh said. It seemed much like the XIII were mostly comprised of either extremely calm, or extremely psychotic assholes.
This psycho was Chaz Yeluri. And unfortunately... was known for killing random wanderers just for the thrill of the bloodshed. So usually... he wasn't allowed into any form of a town. And was generally kept stranded on an island unless needed. His weapon of choice was a set of Katars. Both were quite beaten however.
Though it did give Zane a little joy. Despite being weaponless... he did understand how to fight with a set of katars. So in this Chaz a was at a disadvantage. Because there were very few styles in which a Katar could be used.

"Who said I died from the start..?" He said with a bit of an evil grin. He popped out a small silver materia from his sleeve. Though just as quickly as he revealed it, he had it stowed away. "Lets just say... I am not the only one with a special piece of power.." Nor did I even use my limit... Something was beyond odd at this point. Because there has never been such a thing as silver materia. So why was there one now? Even Jubei who had seen many odd things.. couldn't have seen this before. Only 16 people in the world now had ever held a piece of silver materia... and only 13 knew exactly what they were. Jubei probably could piece together.. that they were definitely not your run of the mill materia.

((So everyone knows.. Tal's piece of 'materia' (as we will call it for now..) is the Clone materia. Which allows the user to create an illusion which hides the user and tricks the target into fighting a materialized clone. The clone is about 1/5th the strength of the user.))

Leon turned around, completely awstruck."Tal, if that is you... That was a hell of a fight you put up, I was almost sad to see you fall, So how exactly did you live?" Leon asked.
"That's Tal? He doesn't look insane." Nyrra said.
"I didn't say he was insane, but he fights like he is and catch him in the right mood, his berserk abilities are amazing, I'm lucky to be standing here."
"But, why does he have those wave swords and not another scythe?" Nyrra asked.
"Don't ask me ask him." Leon answerd, letting down his guard a bit.

Shin smiled finally slid away, but not with out grabbing his hand.
"C'mon! I want you to see my room."
She said before guiding him upstairs. She opened the door and switched on a night lamp. The room was flushed with a hue of orange. A vanity sat to one side of the room with various pictures stuck in the frame of the mirror. A few of Dart, a few of Chris, some with the whole family and gang. The farthest wall had a window that over looked the city and was dressed with arrows she had collected over the years and pouches for her herb collecting. Opposite from the vanity wall was a bed and a some chairs at the foot of the bed. It was small but big enough for two. Above the bed were shelves filled with books full of tales and herbal information, some were even cook books few were on chocobo back and the bow. At the head of the bed was a small tv and radio above it. And beyond that was a small closet that opened to more shelfing for clothes and a tiny safe.
All in all is was a modest room, a little messy, but good. She smiled and stepped aside so Chris could enter.
"Like it?..."

"Thats a secret.." He said with a slightly evil grin. "As for these... these are my real weapons... but you better fight with my scythe...." He was immediately at Leon's throat with one of his wave blades at his throat. "As if your only goal is to kill..." With that he sheathed his blade once more. "And believe me.. next fight you will not win." Tal said simply as he returned to his original spot. "But.. right now I am not here to fight. Since our target is the same." He said as he glanced back at them. Though one of the oddities was explained... he had "XII" tattooed on the back of his neck.

Chris let her lead him away. "Well.. I cannot wait to see it." He said in a lighthearted voice. When they arrived at her room he closed his eyes letting her lead him in. And there was quite a bit of orange when he opened his eyes. But not a harsh variety of tones... actually quite pleasant.
Though a certain two pictures caught his eyes. He smiled his heart swelling as he saw them. One was of him and her getting caught on camera hugging in his old special spot which only she had seen. The other was Shin, Dart, and himself all next to each other, Shin holding Dart and himself together with a bright smile, and Dart had a slightly sober smile, and Chris laughing with her.
Though his eyes managed to catch another picture which he didn't think she wanted him to realize she had. Which was the one where she caught him without a shirt on by accident. He had been in the middle of changing and she busted in taking a picture... meaning to get an embarrassing picture.. instead getting a shot of him without a shirt on, his back to the camera.
"Heheh.. look what I found.." He said winking a little bit. He held it in front of her before quickly moving it out of reach. "I thought you had gotten rid of this picture."
