 Shiinia stopped once more. Again, setting her cube on the ground, she peers closer to find... Nothing happened again. She whines a little. "I'm not lost, right?" She asks herself. "I can't be lost! Uncle Zola taught me everything I hafta know to not get lost!" She pockets the cube again and skates even further. "I'm not lost! I'm a traveler! I am Shiinia Karuss!" She cheers into the tunnels. Little did she know, she was skating closer and closer to her only friend of this timeline.

    Meanwhile, Further into the city, Marlene and Denzel had never actually gotten a chance to escape when the city was ordered to evacuate. Instead, the 'secret' shelter they had taken refuge in for so long since they went there own way had been one of those buildings which were struck in the begining. There were a few orphans living with them here, who all had become great friends and just about family. When the building was struck, though, no one had a chance to get out, as it was so sudden. Lives were lost of those young orphans, while others survived, some badly injured and others saved by the placement of the rubble. "M-Mar---Marlene..." Came a pained,hushed voice of the young brown haired boy. He could feel his body pinned under the bricks and metal, but the worst of the pain was in his right shoulder, where a steel pipe was peirced through. Blood seeped down his forehead, and arns, just about anything not covered in clothing. His arms were completely scratched up, a few scratches and a small gash across his cheek. But, through all the pain he was now suffering, the only one on his mind was his younger friend, Marlene. They had stuck together,he had even tried to pull her to him in that split moment, but they were pushed away from one another. "MARLENE! " He suddenly yelled out, causing him to gasp as more pains struck him. Maybe yelling wasn't a bright idea right now.
Struggling against all the weight over him, it had taken the boy nearly ten minutes, to get himself out of all the rubble, and the steel pipe out of his shoulder,which took most of the time due to the intense horrific pain it caused.
The fact he wasn't getting any response from her made his heart race as the worry ate at his mind. Was she dead?! Gently crawling his way on top of the broken up building, he searched frantically for his friend, until....
He saw her. Buried completely under stones and debris face down. which possibly saved her face from being torn apart by all the sharp pieces that fell onto her. Breathing heavily, the exhaustion was already starting to take it's toll on the boy, and blood loss didn't help matters ether. He wasn't going down, though. No, Marlene needed help and he wouldn't stop until he saw her eyes open, and that gentle voice of hers to sooth his aching heart.
As quickly, and carefully as he could, he began to remove the bricks and debris off her, and as she was cleared he made sure they're was no broken bones by looking her over. then quickly, Denzel reached down, turning her over carefully before he was able to get his arms under her, and lift her up where he held her close. Much like him, she suffered many scratches and cuts, there was a faint heart beat, but it wouldn't continue if he didn't get her help right away. The young hero turned with Marlene in his arms, before hurrying out of the collapsed building. He felt terrible for leaving, and not searching further more for the others, but....If he left her in this condition, there would be nothing left for him. "Someone!!! Someone help! " He called out. The city was dead, it was completely destroyed. His panicking state didn't seem to register this.
Well, that was when a familiar blue-haired sea-Princess was turned around from her current position, as she heard the cry's of a young boy. IN no time, Azura was there, kneeling down in front of Denzel who held the girl in his arms. There was a major problem, though...She couldn't heal her or him.She could only rely on her own methods right now and hope nothing else would show up to attack while she was helping them.
  [[ ooc : Just ignore this please. Need to start posting these two more often. Everyone survives without a scratch like a miracle all the time, think it's about time someone actually does get hurt. ]]

  Asuna Lylatt   
Asuna had left the airship at some point while everyone seemed rather distracted waiting for the Ragnorok...And went back into the city, too. Just before Hiyori and Tatsu had even thought to go back. Now, she walked within the dead city, keeping her eyes on anything that moved. At this point, there was no one alive or in the city, or at least, there shouldn't of been. The 'dead' Reapers also gained her attention, she wasn't exactly taking chances here. If one even made the slightest of sound, she would be moving to strike it down before it could fire off it's death-beam. So far, so good.
In the distance, she could hear the sounds of a young boy, but by the time she got to him she would see Azura attempting to tend to him and, a young girl she had placed on the ground. All Azura could do really, was tend to their wounds with some cloth, and wrap up whatever she could. Her first priority was getting the bleeding to stop on Denzel, no matter how much he protested and demanded her to save Marlene first. Azura had explained she was uncontious, alive, but very weak and that sadly, she could do nothing to heal. But now, as Asuna had joined the small group, she quickly knelt down beside the two, her hand on ether of the children's forehead as a soft, golden energy began to flow into thier bodies. The wounds would start to close up, at the very least. But there would most likely be some scars, especially with Denzel's shoulder and the gash on his cheek.
It wasn't long after, that Marlene's eyes began to open weakly. Her strength was not returned, nor was Denzel's, that was something only their own bodies could recover, same went with the loss of blood. Denzel looked as though he were already about to pass out, despite the healing. Marlene then drifted back asleep though, as her body was still far to weak to do much anything else. Asuna caught the boy the moment he started to fall forward, it seemed the stress and worry was what had kept him conscious, and now that Marlene was cured, his mind relaxed. "Can you get her, Azura? " She asked the blue haired sea-princess softly, who nodded, and as Asuna did, both of the children were picked up, as the armor clad teen lead Azura to a safer area with the kids. Thankfully for Azura, Marlene was so small and light, carrying her wouldn't put her in any danger of losing the baby, she was still very early in yet after all.

"...This...isn't..." Calico clings to Clyde's side as they stand at the edge between them and the madness of their destroyed city. She could hardly even look. "..Clyde...Where... Where are we?" "...No...No..!" Clyde repeats, a lump in his throat. "...This is...This is the area we left to go train...Right?" Zola mutters, yet the shock is still evident in his voice. He holds Riotala, whom he'd been cradling as they walked, a bit tighter. "...I cannot...I cannot even recognize it..." "..Z-Zola, don't worry about it!" Clyde blurts out, giving a fake chuckle and an askew smirk. "We just..We just, uh, landed in the wrong place! R-Right, Calico? Yer with me on that, right? Right?" "...Midgar..." "Riotala?" Zola looked at the child in his arms. There had only been a few times she'd looked this sad. He knew that this was one of them now. She looked like she'd cry were anything to get worse. And Riotala Tenacia never cried! "...This...was.. This was Midgar..." She looked over her shoulder, to the remains of the city. "...Now, it isn't... It isn't anything anymore... Just...destruction..." "R-Rio, that isn't- That isn't what happened!" Clyde tells her, distressed. "We just landed wrong. Zola, we, we're best friends, you believe me, right?!" Clyde would suddenly feel his arm tug as Calico hugged him tightly. He also felt his shoulder slowly become wet. Similarly, Riotala buried his head into her brother's chest, her ribbon tickling his neck just the tiniest bit. They all had to face the devastating reality. It was likely Midgar wasn't going to be rebuilt after this. (Y'know that episode of the Powerpuff Girls? Y'know, the 'I Just Stood There, Waving Goodbye' episode? Yeah, this is that for these guys.)

Meanwhile, Both Azura and Asuna had taken up shelter inside the church, which seemed to the be only area still perfectly standing, strangely enough. Just small damage was done, but not enough to take it down or destroy the place the Cetra women loved so much. While the two children were asleep in the pews, Azura and Asuna were sitting at the next one in front, talking to each other about, just about everything, including the future for them all, and this now dead city....
(( ooc: Not sure exactly where they all are at. They anywhere near that area? Not sure what to do for Sakura. lol.

Shiinia simply followed a routine of stop-cube-pout-skate for a little bit. She began to become frustrated with the cube. Uncle Zola's machines were NOT supposed to act like this. She decided not bother with this dumb gadget and try to find Midgar herself. What a stupid thing, anyway! She even skated past Sakura to try and find a signal-- WAIT. Shiinia stops her skates dead. She just skated past Sakura. Yeah, she was on the other side of the sewer stream, and she just missed her. "...SAKURA!" Her voice echoes back. Yet, she skates further away, as fast as she can. With the sewer's curled ceiling and velocity taken into account, this girl was going to try, once again, to defy gravity. She waits until she's going extremely fast, with a boost from her Battle Tambourine's Turbo Charge ability, before jumping on the wall. Turning her feet left and using the Turbo once again, she rides the wall up across the ceiling, to the other side. Unfortunately, she falls on her back once she tries to stop, but her cloak was made from some sort of charmed fabric. She forgot who gave it to her, but it apparently dulled impact, so yay for mysterious peddlers from the future! She was still a little sore, though... "Ugh, I'm gonna wait a little... Wait up for me, Sakura-chan.." she gives a weak giggle. She needed a breather. After all, what little girl wouldn't after riding a ceiling? Meanwhile, on the surface, Tatsu is running through the broken city. The enemies surrounding him were either getting shot out of his way, trying to grab him, or chase him. He'd unfortunately lost sight of Hiyori and her new pet Shadow Creeper. He probably would've been able to find her faster if he had his Mako Styx, but no, he had a Materia Shotgun and poor muscle memory. "Agh, get outta my way!!" He growls, slowly plowing through a gathering of these monsters. (Two questions. 1. Y'think I gave Shii-chan too much ability? I tried to justify and limit her as much as I could. 2. What are these enemies again? I forgot. Also, no, the four that have just returned are at the 'entrance' area of Midgar.)

Sakura looked away from Zeo now, the skating young girl had quickly caught her attention. It was rather hard to miss, even from the other side of the sewer. It was clearly open, and the sound always seemed to be much louder here."..Shiina! " It was like a happy cast of magic was cast on her. Her face suddenly seemed to light up, no more tears fell and she began to move out of the tunnel, so she was now along the long path of the alley, looking to the other side at her friend. Curiously, the little dark haired one watched as she did a most impressive riding of the ceiling, Sakura's mouth hung open in awe. That was amazing! "...Shiiina! Sakura is happy to see yoooou!" She shouted happily, running over to her while poor Shiinia was sitting there on her back. "..You okay? " Again, some peoples names became shortened, or just plain wrong when it came to Sakura saying them. Some were just to difficult to say!
   "Little sisters, cute beyond words.."

"Heehee..Just a little.." Shiinia sits up, not realizing she'd given the wrong answer. She thought Sakura asked if it hurt. Maybe she really was going too fast. "But I'm okay. I haven't seen you in too long!" She grins, before she comes to realize something. "Say, why was Sakura in the sewer? I was just trying to find Midgar, so I could tell my Uncle about my mission."

  "...With all this destruction...I wonder where Shiki-Nee-san is...I hope she got out in time? ...Is she okay? " Hiyori asked herself quietly. Well, dang. Now she was worried about her older sister. They may not of been full blood-sisters, but, she did come from Cloud too, so. As far as she saw it, there was no difference. "And the baby's too...Ahhh! We really gotta look good!! Come on, Shadow-friend! Let's keep looking.." Hiyori said as she was now walking within the city's destruction, the Shadow Creeper walking along side of the young bond. "SHIIIIKIIIIIIIIIIYOOO-NEE-SAN! " She yelled out, maybe she was here, maybe she wasn't. This was the best way to find that out.

 ...Apparently, no one realized that there was still a Reaper in the area. In fact it was still in the middle of Midgar, decimating what remained of it. All that was really intact any longer was the church, which was now being targeted... The eye slowly opened, to destroy the last building actually standing in Midgar, and once the beam fired, suddenly a brown haired man with a large crimson blade and a hood over his head leaped into the way, bringing his blade to block the blast, then redirect it at the Reaper. It wasn't something anyone could do--in fact, this sword was the only one that could do it, because it's Apocalypse's own sword, stolen from him by a power-hungry horseman... That's who he was back then, at any rate. Unfortunately, anything that could go wrong did. The beam did not redirect straight into the machine's eye, it only slammed into its leg, which did considerable damage, but didn't put it down, and Lars' hood flew off while his blade collided with the beam, exposing his identity. The Reaper caught clear sight of his face, and once it registered who it was, it suddenly flew back up at surprising speed into the sky, speeding past Madison and into the dark cloud, before the cloud would suddenly disperse and vanish. Was it gone for good? No, in fact, it would more than likely be back before the week's end. But for now, this continent had a break... However short.
"...Damn it..." Lars muttered to himself. He knew he was the target, and now they knew where to find him...

Shiinia tilted her head. "Petals that can heal? I never heard of that before... Oh, my mission!" She gave a big smile. "I was sent to go and see the whole world. I just explored the rest of Nibelheim yesterday, so I'm finally done! Shiinia is a total hero now!" She gives a grin, pulling out her blue rabbit plush, hugging it. "Isn't that right, Sahagin?" Then Shiinia's attention was brought to her current dilemma. "..Well, not really.. I hafta tell Uncle Zola I saw the world, but the cube he gave me to tell him doesn't work.. He told me it'll work anywhere in a city, but I don't know where I am now.. Hey.." Shiinia's expression lightened a little. "Is there a city around here someplace, Sakura? We can go together!" "Huh?!" Tatsu looks up as he hears Hiyori's voice echo. "Hiyori?.. Hey, how come she gets the easy place?!" Annoyed, Tatsu begins to get more serious. He jumps into the air, charging the Thundaga and Hell Firaga in his shotgun simultaneously. " HELLSPARK!" he shouts, before sending a powerful blast down at the remaining crowd of monsters. Whatever wasn't killed was stunned for a good while. As he lands, he let's out a deep sigh "..Now to go find Hiyori." he tells himself before running off.

~:Shikyo Strife:~    "Whhhaaaattt?" Came a yell back in a playful tone as Shikyo had gone into Midgar to see if there was any sign of her mother or her babies. She slowed down on her motorcycle as she came up from behind to Hiyori and stopped behind her, her hair looking frizzed and wind blown from being on the motorcycle for so long. "Also what is that thing? Are you sure it's totally safe?" She asked as she looked at the shadow creeper, it didn't exactly look at that friendly! Though it did look safer to ride then her motorcycle that a lot of people seemed to look at as a sleek metal death trap! ((OOC smile )

]  Hiyori blinked, spinning around at the sound of the motorcycle drawing near.It's rider, the very person she was hoping to see. How about that? She must have had some luck this day."Shiki-nee-san! Yay! You're okay! " She would have hugged her, had she not still been on the motorbike. Taking a step closer to her older sister, Hiyori managed to smile, despite the grim situation of the city. "Um..It's called a Shadow Creeper, Mr.Kadaj summoned some of these things to watch over everyone, and I got this one. My new guardian friend, hee..It looks SO SCARY! But..That's what makes it perfect. No one would bother me now huh? " She grinned.
Then came the sounds of more battle, it sounded like another of those giant Reaper's being destroyed. It's last battle, and the last of the battles it seemed as the one took off and disappeared into the clouds.What more was there to do here? Everything but the church was destroyed. Even Aerith's house was destroyed. Maybe that was why it retreated. Who knew, she certainly didn't.
