As the Cure 3 spell encircled his form, he sat up and layed a hand upon his arm, popping his shoulder into place. Of course, he had to crack his arm back into place as well, being bent literally out of shape from landing on it. When it healed, he clenched his hand into a fist and released to make sure everything was in working order. There was a dull pain in his arm still, but the scrapes and cuts he had recieved from crashing through the roof had sealed up. Speaking of that, he stood and brushed off his form before looking at the hole in the roof. Seeing the Falcon was partially in view, he shouted at it.
"I'm kicking your face in when I get back up there Grenz!"
His features had tensed up due to becoming annoyed from falling and breaking his arm. They softened as he turned to look to Aerith and chuckled, setting an arm on his hip as he adjusted his glasses.
"In the flesh. And I'm fine thanks to the Cure 3. What are you and Furball still doing here?"
He looked at Reno and Elena as they entered, dismissing them for a moment before looking back to Aerith and Red.
"Oh, and congratulations on becoming a dad, assuming those pups are yours."

[EDIT... for my own stupidity]
((Yo, I'm going to go with the assumption that Vincent and Cid have not met the reawakened Aerith yet... makes my life easier. Okay... I THINK I kinda know what's going on... maybe... feel free to shout at me if I c**k up))
Vincent's tattered cloak billowed in the roaring winds that ripped through Midgar. He glanced up into the bruised skies, watching blackened clouds dance in the storm. He remembered the last times the heavens had looked so violent; when Sephiroth had once again threatened the safety of Gaia. He had since then continued with his travels, trying to find his place in a world he no longer beloned to; despite his new found friendships.
Now he had returned to Midgar, hearing rumours of the revival of Aerith, the kind-hearted flower girl who had saved the world.
He sighed softly as he walked towards the church; flight would be impossible in this weather. He continued on, the winds tugging at his hair.

Aerith had turned her attention away from the two Turks, as it was soon to come back to rest on Kaizer.For a moment , her eyes widened slightly as she just came to realize what he was about to do.The cetra turned away quickly, as to not look. She saved herself from watching him pop his shoulder into place, but she still could hear it. Now she wasn't sure what was worse, actually hearing him or watching! Sighing softly, she slowly turned her attention back upon him.Even after all the battles she had seen the days when she would fight with Cloud and his friends, all the blood spilled, there were still many things she just couldn't take well to. "I ca--" But before she was able to complete her sentence, his sudden shouting into the Falcons direction stopped her.
After a brief pausing, when he had calmed down and made his question out, the women nodded slightly, managing a gentle smile. "Do you need anything for your arm?" He may of said he was fine, but Aerith was still concerned. "And Nanaki and I...We were staying here for shelter, away from the storm. It does seem like it wants to fall apart on us, but..After all this place had gone through, Like the flowers that grow here, I don't believe its ready to be destroyed anytime soon. The church..Is very special. " As she had said this, There were cracking sounds coming from every point of the church, and slight rattling of lose boards. But even so, nothing seemed to really fall or break. Nothing but the new hole in the roof from Kaizers fall,anyway!

Vincent approached the battered church, amazed by the very fact it was still standing. He stood at the door, listening to the joints creak in the wind; this was not a safe place to stay.
His un-gauntleted hand rested on the door, fingers knocking away the cracked paint.
"So old, so damaged," he whispered, then pushed the creaking door open.

The man that was still engaged in combat with Korangar had slipped away from the massive wave of fire barely keeping himself intact as he felt the moisture leaving him due to the heat unleashed only a few metres from his body. Not liking this at all he concentrated on the ground where Korangar was standing and within seconds Korangar's feet were encased in frigid ice that was struggling against the will of the man it was entrapping. Within the ice however, electrical discharges were sent within the ice, in an attempt to keep his mind unfocused. The way the electrical surges were placed made it very difficult for Korangar to ground his body, especially with the thick layers of ice surrounding the ground around him. Relieving the heavy gales that were pressing against Korangar and creating a very rough environment for a comment, the man spoke up while Korangar was focusing his energies on what looked like a shadow based attack. "Plizmtzi, R szev szw vmlfs. Uli mld zmbdzb. R hszoo ivgfim." And with that he was gone. Allowing the lightning to fizzle into nothingness and the ice to melt away from Korangar's presence. The storm continued to rage but now instead of it's disorganized destruction, the storm seemed to be collecting itself to destroy Midgar. The tornados across the planet either turned from where they were or disappeared to allow for more of the storm's concentration to rage against Midgar.

Nanaki slowly picked up his head, so that he was looking into Kaizers direction. If he had the abilities to smirk, he would have. But as he was more of a lion-like animal, it was next to impossible. "Thank you." He answered in his usual quiet tone of voice. "They are most definitely a handful."

As the others ahead of Elena and himself reacquainted themselves Reno turned back to the door as it made a loud creaking noise. Someonelse was entering the church, and not wanting to continue his reckless streak he motioned for Elena to move to the side of the doorway so that whoever was entering could not see her. While he waited for the door to open and Elena to be prepared, Reno stood between the rows of benchs with his 'shock stick' held loosely in his hand, and leaning against his shoulders. He kept his head looking low, making his goggles even more apparent against his bright red hair and held a grin on his face awaiting the entrance of whoever would be at the door. He hoped it would be someone he could fight, but he knew the chances of that were slim. Still it was always fun to show off his style whenever he met someone.

Elena made a face, watching as the others got acquainted. She was glad she was not a part of this. It just wasn't her thing to go and be sweet and cheerful as everyone else might have been. She was a very serious person when she wanted to be,Especially on the job. She glanced off to the direction of the doorway.It seemed as though she caught onto what Reno wanted to do, and what he wanted her to do. After a few years of working together and being partners, you kind of know each others thoughts,or can read the other without words being said. Giving a silent nod to Reno, Elena quietly walked over to the other side of the door where she stood. Her right hand slowly moving toward where she kept her pistol, but she didn't dare to take it out just yet. For now, she would wait until it was clear who was entering the church.

Gritting his teeth as the electricity surged through the melting ice that tried to lock his feet in place, he narrowed his eyes toward his opponent. At the man's words, Korangar closed his eyes before growling his reply. "Tux oneavt, ot? Veex kixxunyo.." Stepping free from the ice which, no longer continuing to form at his feet, instantly vaporized, he turned his attention toward the building storm gathering over Midgar. Loosening his grip on the weapon, he allowed the heavy blade to begin to fall toward the ground, only to flip it back around in his hand, holding it behind his back. Transparent wings spreading, he knelt in place for only a fraction of a second before launching himself toward the gathering clouds. "Oneavt fiht hto jhekp! Cea tugo hekhakox htij mqunoh hee payt uqkouxc!" Keeping his wings fully spread, he reached his free hand to grip the hilt of his black sword before swinging it violently, entering into the cloud. The blade shattered, allowing the dark, searing vortex within to be loosed. The sky over Midgar seemed to freeze for a brief instant before the stormcloud, air, and even light within a ten-mile radius found itself being drawn into the object Korangar wielded. A thunderous roar filled the landscape as air rushed to replace what was being absorbed, but once the storm had been erased from the sky, Korangar flung the hilt of the shattered blade from himself, forcing it to dissipate into nothingness, taking the vortex with it. Hanging poised in midair for approximately thirty seconds, the man plummeted toward the city below, his body passing through the gap in the church ceiling that had long ago been made by Cloud and never repaired, his fall only ceasing a foot above the flowerbed, and it was there that he was stopped, weariness overcoming him but not so much that he would cause grief for a friend. After another half a minute, his body burst into a mass of shadow, seeping into the ground and returning to his chamber beneath the mansion.

Raising a brow, he just smiled and shook his head when she asked if he needed anything. Resting the slightly bruised arm on his hip, he took a look around the old church as Aerith relayed to him why they were here. Made sense being there was a hurricane going on outside. Well, being Furball had kids and he didn't want to see Aerith get hurt, he figured something.
"If it hasn't fallen apart yet, then I don't think it will. Hell, I've seen some of the stone buildings get torn apart like paper. But, I want you and Red to come with me to be safe. I can figure you might not want to leave bu-"
He stopped as he looked at Reno and Elena. Hearing the creaking door himself, both hands quickly moved and retrieved his revolvers from the holsters on his side. Only weapons he had on him beside himself. Aiming them towards the door, he moved forward slowly, just as the Turks were. This person was going to get a lead sandwich with a side order of pain if they meant harm.

Vincent was not prepared for the grave image that greated him inside the Church; a Turk. Not just any Turk but Reno, (he had not yet spotted Elena). There was another too, a stranger. Yet more who desired violence in this sacred place?
In the same moment he took in the welcome sight of Nanaki, and two cubs. There beside the feline beast; Aerith, the Flower Girl, the saviour of Gaia. She was whole and alive, the most beautiful image he had laid eyes on since the loss of his beloved Lucrecia. If these people had come to harm Aerith he would kill them, but for now, he did not move; he was not about to fight a battle in the Church. He did not let the door swing closed; he would take battle outside, into the raging winds, if these people so desired.

((Just to clarify. As of my last post, the storm is no longer raging, and the sky over Midgar is perfectly calm and clear. >.>))

Aerith looked away from everyone, Though she did question in silence as to what the two Turks were doing. Sneaky, as always. But this time with only good attentions. At least she hoped so.She turned away, glancing upward, then following the dark figure that seemed to float in midair toward the flower garden.Korangar.She had just made an attempt to go to him,when his figure suddenly seemed to shatter off into shadow, and sink into the flowerbed tell there was no more sight of him.The young women blinked, staring down at the garden of flowers.She really hoped he was okay. Maybe he was hurt? Giving off a soft sigh, she had to wonder where he had gone off to. There wasn't anyway she could help if he was no longer there.It was also then, that something else caught her attention. The sound. It was..quiet.There were no more sounds of fierce winds. The church was calm and silent inside, just the very soft noises of the people inside when they moved.The snapping and crackling of the old wood wasn't sounded anymore,it was all silence. This caused her to look up to the large hole in the roof, outside was seemingly clear. There were no more dark clouds over the city and there was light! In fact, the sun was fully beginning to show all over.The rays streaming into the stained glass windows of the church and giving off the most beautiful and siren scene one could ever see.The entire flowerbed was glowing in the soft light of the sun,making it look all the more like a holy and beautiful place.
Turning away once again, Aerith glanced back to the church doors, her eyes resting onto Reno's form, then to Elena's as she noticed that the door had opened.Only moments after, a figure..a ever so familiar man, wearing a crimson tattered cape stepped into the doorway.The cetra's emerald green eyes went wide in surprise. "Vincent!" She hadn't seen him since..well, a very long time. It was only him and Cid, that she had not gotten to see yet. How she had missed those two. She gave Kaizer a look, and reached out a hand to gently push his good arm down so that he lowered his weapons.After that was taken care of, she ran into Vincents direction. Reno, well, if he didn't get that he had to lower his weapon by now, she would have to take care of that! Ignoring him for the moment, Aerith captured Vincent into a tight, yet gentle hug. She was fully allowed to hug the friend whom she had not seen in so many years.

Seemingly before Reno had the opportunity to speak at Vincent's arrival, Aerith was already upon him. Raising his eyes to meet Vincent he spoke clearly, "The, ex-Turk.", Reno was not altogether pleased at Vincent's betrayal of the Turks, but he was not about to start a fight with him. Far easier for him to antagonize him with words. Though Reno kept his grin on his face as he saw the man, despite his betrayal it was still good to see that he was still alive in this world. Motioning for Elena to come out from hiding with his free left hand, he kept his gaze on Vincent. Reno had noticed that the storm had seemed to end but that did not mean that it was over. Not by a long shot."It's a party now yo, we should be out there looking for what happened out there yo." Reno then shifted his gaze off of Vincent and then moved it to the others. Cocking his head to the side, and leaning his body to his left as he took a few steps to the side to get a good look at everyone around.
