He sighed as he saw it was the gunman and felt his arm being lowered before he could even get the chance to do it himself. Twirling both of the revolvers a tad, he caught and holstered them quickly, bringing his arms into being crossed as he stood by silently. Looking up, he saw the winds had calmed and the clouds had started to dissipate. His attention was caught by Aerith moving forward to hug Vincent. Nodding as he could figure why, he moved forward, past Reno and Elena and stopped next to Aerith and Vincent before he opened his mouth to speak.
"Aerith, the storm has calmed down. I'll be going but I'll come back to fix the benches and roof. See ya."
He moved outside and rubbed his nose, looking up in the sky to see where the Falcon might be docked. He didn't spot it anywhere. With a quick snatch, a flip and a few beeps, Kaizer was already on the line with Grenz on the Falcon.
"Where are you and where the hell is my airship?"
"Holy, Kaizer, thank Gaia you are alive. We are docked outside of the one door into Midgar, the one accessible by key card. Just letting the civilians back in. Where are you?"
"Outside Miss Gainsborough's church. On that note, get some lumber, paint and tools. I broke her roof and benches. See you soon."
He clicked the phone off before Grenz could even have a chance to say good-bye. Of course, he was obviously still annoyed with being knocked off his own airship by a storm he didn't want to ride into. Didn't matter, he thought as he turned back around to the church, going back to stand in it's entrance.

In a lush green forest, that teemed with life, a young woman could be seen walking around. She gazed around at wonder at the amazing size of the trees, how green their leaves were, and at all the animals that surrounded her. A baby rabbit bounded along infront of her and her eyes narrowed slightly. She didn't want to hit it, but she didn't want it to stay in her way. The young woman seemed to care for the lives of animals, and in reality, cared nothing for humans, or humanoids. She looked towards the bright sun beating down on her and smiled. She loved the sun, even though she was pale. Where she was the sun was bright, but when she looked to the North, she saw what appeared to be a giant storm cloud. Apparently the storm was either nearly over, or just finished. The water in the air seemed to speak to her, as did the ethers from the skies. In the soft breeze the woman's crimson hair flew slightly, and her emerald eyes closed briefly to fix the forest in her mind. The woman also seemed to have a pictographic memory. She walked slowly along an old beaten path, the legs of her red pants brushing against eachother, and her tight red shirt clinging to her bodice. Her hips swayed slolwy, sensually, deliberately. Even though she knew that she was alone for the moment, she always had her walk, no matter what.

The woman tavelling through that particular forest near Midgar was in fact being watched. And she was being spoken to by the water that was still lingering within the forest. A sharp bolt was heard and before her flew a tiny wisp. The first, a light blue was joined by another very bright yellow wisp. They hung in the air in front of her, raising themselves slghtly before letting gravity pull them down, and rising again not letting the gravity pull them anymore than a few inches. The first wisp flew over to her, and encircled her flying from her thighs, and then circling upwards until it was above her right shoulder. The second however, watched as the trail left by the first made a rather beautiful trail of mist behind itself. The second wisp then fluttered quickly, sending a shower of golden mist as it flew over to the woman and encircled her again, this time resting above her left shoulder. They seemed to resonate together creating a faint sound in her ears. "What have you come here for? Have you chosen your path in life?".

As for Elena, she had the perfect go chance at attacking. Tsk,tsk. Valentine wasn't being completely aware of his surroundings. Now, if she was a true enemy, that would he his big mistake.But, as luck would have it. Elena was no longer the teams enemy, nor was the other two turks.The women stepped away from where she was hideing, behind the door, smirking slightly into Vincents direction. "Nice to see you, Vincent." She herself didn't have a big problem with him like Reno did, seeing as she wasn't with them as long as he was.Sure, he was the Ex-Turk, but heck if it matterd to her. It was his choice to make what he did with his life. She stepped back to the doors, giving Reno a quick nod before opening them. "I'll be back.I just want to go check something out!" Elena opend them again, and soon enough, the blonde was quickly out of sight and away from the church. She needed to check on something, and quickly headed her way toward the mansion. Along the way, she looked around at the destruction, the very much destroyed and hurt city of Midgar.It was a few good minutes until she arived at her destination, the large structure that did seem to take a small beating, but was still not damaged enough so that it was dangerus to stay in.The doors of the building opened, and she stepped inside. The power seemed to have come back on,too. "Korangar! Are you in here??" Came the ever so familour voice of Elena. She wasn't sure if he had been here, but..something told her to check anyhow.
(( Hello Arianna. ^^ Um, is that what I should call you or did you have another you go by? ))

Meanwhile, In the little town of Nibelheim. The people were already getting straight to cleaning up. There wasn't all to much damage to the town, the mountains seemed to have proved as a good protection source.There were only very few that had gotten hurt. The dare devils that thought they could handle it all.They were proved wrong.Of course, the town wasn't eternal against strong minds. There were a lot of homes that were a bit destroyed, some with trees now inside the living room. Cars in the bedroom, and who could forget the well? The well that Tifa had her memories of Cloud with.It was, amazingly, still standing. No one could really understand why. But there it was, standing proud. A lot of the younger people had taken to the mountains and hid into the caves for extra protection when the storm formed, and were just now coming back. Lucrecia, was one of them. She had stayed with them for the fact that they were mostly children and women that had been sent there.She had met back with the two men that helped her when she first arrived to the town.While others went to help the few that were wounded, others were rejoicing and cheering to there survival against the fierce storm that threatened them only a short time ago.
Lucrecia glanced down at the small cell phone in her hand. Sighing softly, she flipped it open and dialed into Aeriths number, as she was the only person she actually was able to talk to on the phone. When she set it to her ear, there came a soft beeping sound. No signal, still. If only she could reach one of them, and find out if they were all okay. And Sephiroth, was he safe? She didn't know -where- to look for him. she thought about him, and there came back the feeling of guilt. What if he wasn't? What if he was hurt, all the while Lucrecia was safe and sound hiding away from the storm and didn't even try to help? Her grip tightened on the phone,and there was a slight snap and crackling. Her thoughts were caught by the sound as she lowerd the phone. attempting to calm herself.When she looked at the phone, the screen was black and split. Giving off another sigh, she dropped it to the ground and hurried off toward the last place she remembered the truck being.......
"...No..!" The truck wasn't there, instead, it was with the rubble of the Shin-Ra Mansion. She looked around again,trying to find some sort of source so that she may leave and do what she should of done the moment everything started. To late, but....
"Excuse me....Renzu, Is there anything I can use? I need to leave here...It's very important.." The man looked around, most of the trucks were not in the places they were supposed to be in.He motioned for Lucrecia to follow him, where he lead her to his very home. partially destroyed, but not to bad like some of the others."Very well..I will take you to where you need to be. Sound okay to you, Miss. Crescent?" He asked with a small friendly smile.He walked over to the garage door, and soon pulled the doors open. Inside, there was a sleek black truck.It looked as though it could fit about three people. maybe four.Lucrecia gladly accepted the offer. and walked to the passenger side door. "Thank you, I will find some way to repay your kindness.." He opened the door for her, being the gentlemen he was, and waited for her to get in before he himself got in after getting around the other side. "I need to get to Midgar...It's the only place I can think ..he would be." After those last words, Lucrecia went completely silent. He nodded, and didn't say anything afterword as they drove off for the long journey back to the city..

Sephriea, having gotten herself distracted and suddenly interested in something else, left Kadaj before they had even went down to the so called secret area.Funny how they thought it was secret, but she didn't let them know that, of course! She was still friends with Kadaj, even if he was the rude person that he was. So was she. After the storm had disappeared, she had gotten curious, and as much as she tried to hide it, worried too.Maybe she had better pay a visit to Midgar and see if everyone was safe.She herself was out in the middle of no where by now, picking fights with a few weak monsters that tried to attack.She just hoped she remembered the way back! Everything was going well, as she walked along the grassy fields. Until the moment she turned a corner.The first thing she noticed was a small fire ball heading into her direction. And then, even more followed. Only this time, it seemed as though it was raining fire down on her! Flames seemed to make a circle around her, giving her little means of escaping the rain of fire.Sephriea dropped to the ground, and put her palm into the air, as a sudden blue glow surrounded her. Magic barrier, just in time before she could get burnt to death.Narrowing her eyes into slits, she took an exiler, before getting to her feet. It was then, that she would see a women coming into her direction, holding a long staff, flames erupting from the top. "YOU....Are ...going...--------" But before she could finish her threat, the stranger stopped, and looked rather panicked.
"I'm sorry! I thought you were an enemy...Please forgive my actions!" The women looked to be in her mid teens, probably about 17 or 18. But as far as knowing who she was, Sephriea had no clue. Shaking her head, she waved her hand in the air."...Well....You could of checked before you attacked you know....Who are you?"
"Sorry..I need to be going!" She didn't bother answering the question, instead she just ran off.She looked even more lost then Sephriea did.Muttering something to herself, The young Sephriea started on her way again, trying to act as though nothing happened in the slightest..Weird people were always around.

The young woman noticed the two wisps floating around her. She looked somewhat shocked, but smiled none-the-less as they circled her, one at a time, and then rested above her shoulders. Sighing she spoke with a very musical tone of voice. "I am still undecided on my path in life. Wherefore doth thou ask?" She used a mixture of regular speech and an ancient archaic dialect, known fluently to only a few. She stopped infront of a beech tree and leaned up against it, using her staff for extra support. Looking back at the wisps she spoke again. "May I inquire as to what you are called?"
((Hello Elena, I go by Rhapsody or Rhaps, whichever you prefer, it doesn't matter.))

Down within the massive chamber that Korangar had constructed for himself, stowed away beneath the mansion, he sat on his crystalline chair with his eyes closed. As the darkness within the chamber washed over him, repairing his body and renewing his strength, he relaxed gradually, letting his mind drift back to more pleasant times.

The two wisps resonated again, speaking clearly yet very quietly in her ears again. "My apologies for not introducing ourself." The two wisps floated away from her shoulders in front of her. With a short spark there was a man kneeling before her in a gentlemanly fashion. The same man who had caused the storm, and caused the destruction of most of the planet. "My name is Serge, and I thought that as I was nearby, I might be able to assist you in some way or another." Standing up, Serge walked towards the woman slowly, speaking clearly to her in a serene voice. "There is a shadow over this realm. Yet I sense a difference in you. Would you be willing to join me for a short while?" Serge held a smile on his face as he watched the woman's responses to his words. Hopefully she was the person he believed her to be. If that was so, there may just be the chance to destroy Korangar's essence.

The young woman smiled gently and curtsied. "I am called Rhapsody Arianna Turner. Please call me Rhaps." She looked up at him, her emerald eyes shining. There was definately something different about Serge, but she just couldn't place it. Rhapsody spoke again, this time slightly softer. "I am actually in search of a dwelling place. I am quite new to this area of the world and I have no idea where I am. Though I too have sensed a shadow, I do not know how much help I can offer." She stood up off of the tree and leaned slightly on her staff. "One would be pleased to join you for a short while." Serge would notice that her dialect kept changing, never staying the same, always adding difference to what she had previously said.

Serge stopped a few feet from Rhapsody and extended a hand to her. "If you wished to come with me, I have a place you may use as home if you so desired." Smiling as he listened to her voice, it was melodic and yet interchanged between many different dialects. Fortunately he was able to understand all of them easily so far. However if she became a little more difficult to understand it would be very muchly entertaining for himself. Mainly because he enjoyed cryptic puzzles, especially those involving languages. In fact part of his plans was to use many intricately laid traps and puzzles in order to attempt to outsmart Korangar, and any others he may have helping him.

Rhapsody smiled, stepped closer and accepted his hand. "One would be honoured. She thank's you." She looked at Serge and was trying to decipher what kind of man would randomly find a woman walking alone in the forest, and then tried to, seemingly, befriend her. She did not know what help she could be, but she kept her own secrets, and her different forms of magick was definately one of them.

Pulling her hand gently to his lips, he kissed her hand softly before lowering it slightly so that he may guide her throughout the forest. Holding her hand gently, he spoke before making any movements. "I hope you like water", was all he said before he created what seemed like a portal. The 'portal' opened up in a deep blue and beyond it lay Serge's domain. If you would be so kind", he added before stepping through the portal, pulling her behind him gently. Having been using these 'portals' for a very long time Serge was used to them and the effects it had on one's body(However Rhapsody may feel some discomfort or a jarring within her body as she appears on the opposite side).
Serge's domain was what seemed to be an endless waterfall to their sides, surrounded by a lightning storm along the edges. The place was brighter than you would expect, but Serge only kept it like that as a deterrant from Korangar's abilities to manipulate shadows. There was a doorway to either side of the realm, as they entered through somewhere near the middle. Serge believed in keeping space minimal. If he required more rooms he would simply create them. It was not a large drain of his powers to keep this realm existing so modifications could be made with ease.

Rhapsody smiled as he kissed her hand and let him guide her. "I'm not afraid of water, it's my natural element." She said softly. As she entered his realm painlessly, she gazed around in wonder. It was almost exactly as she would've made her own domain, except instead of lightning she would have used Ether. "Serge, it is beautiful." She said after a few minutes of taking in her surroundings.
