Tae continued to climb up the ropes. There had been a few times where her still wet feeling hands slipped off the ropes from the air pressure blowing down on her. One of those times though she’d gazed down at the rest to make sure everyone was making their retreat. Her chest tightened at the carnage and those who would no doubt be left behind. It was also then that her eyes caught the shards that were aimed up at the air ship to destroy their only way out. No…! She cried out not sure if she’d spoken the single word aloud or not. However, what happened next tore at her heart. She hardened herself as she re-grabbed the ropes and pulled herself up. Some of them had chosen their own fates. It wasn’t something that Tae herself could undo for them so there was no point in crying out her dismay of it all. No. She had to keep her focus. She’d already failed once today—perhaps even more—but she wasn’t going to continue down that path of failure if she could help it.

As she pulled herself inside the aircraft her eyes glanced down as she spotted Nona just reaching the rope latters. Unwanted tears escaped her eyes falling down towards the ground. Nona had left her guitar for Sou-Ho’s sword. She would at least make it onto the craft. Hopefully she knew how to climb rope latters fast. Turning inside the craft as Varitas stayed to help Nona aboard and anyone else who was still on the latters she spotted Riyal. A rather crispy Riyal at that. It looked painful. She blinked at him for a moment before turning away to where Lloyd was sitting. Her eyes then landed on Ellale as she was already strapped into one of the seats that filed the sides of the air craft. Walking, or what felt like she stumbled, across the air ship she slammed into the seat next to Ellale as she lost her footing. At least that’s what she was going to say what happened.

Chero… I need you… we need you. It wasn’t often that she summoned the creature. Her chest burned whether it was from her injuries or something else she couldn’t tell. She wasn’t as good with healing even with the aid of Chero as Sophia but right now she was kind of glad the girl opted out of this mission. She respected their girl more than she probably thought or even knew. Who could honestly say how Tae felt about her. Her free hand clutched at her chest as her eyes squeezed shut for a moment.

Though she couldn’t see clearly the destruction she most certainly heard it. An unspeakable fear tore at her as the light tore through the mansion. Kalay, Lis, and Sou-Ho all still were within the building as it crumbled under the onslaught of the attack. Her eyes burned with an unspeakable emotion. Her fingers clumsily put on the buckles as the air ship took off. What seemed like forever as she slid around in her seat finally managed to buckle in.

”My Kitten…” she whispered as she glanced over at Ellale. Her eyes lowered to the girls chest where a pink line marked the soft skin and the clothing torn around it. Her eyes seemed to cloud with some sort of emotion as she gazed at the mark. She wanted to pull her into her lap but Ellale had already been strapped in the seat so she didn’t have time to do so as they moved away from the blasts of light and crumbling building behind them. "Cure.." Tae kept that soft whisper and instead of giving into the erg to take the girl from her seat she opted to just readjusting the girls’ clothing so she wasn’t flashing anyone then held onto her hand. How was she going to tell her? Her chest was so tight just at the thought of telling her.

Her face was hard and it seemed she was deep in thought. Her eyes glanced over at Lloyd who seemed to be taking this hard. Could you blame him though? Dropping her gaze to the connected hands of her and Ellale she closed her eyes. I failed to protect you… Her thoughts seemed to have her doubting herself and her abilities. Her frame shook as her arm twitched and her hand gripped slightly tighter on Ellale’s hand. Never again…never… and may they pray that their death will be quick should I fail and take them with me.

Edited. I wasn't sure how much cure would have brought her health but if you don't want me to use cure I can take that out. ღ

Song(s) of the moment: The Order Must Be Protected

At last Lloyd got Ellale to the top in spite of what was occurring down below. Lloyd was the first on the ship and hurriedly strapped Ellale into a seat so that he could assist the others in their escape. He did his best to keep helping everyone in but something was definitely wrong. Nona, Kalay, Lisanna, and Sou-ho were still down there. In that moment of realization even from the where he stood in the airship, Lloyd could feel a sudden chill in the air. Something was coming to destroy the ship and those still on the ladders were sitting ducks.

"Dammit!" Lloyd gritted his teeth as he prepared himself to jump back into the fray and attack even if such a move would kill him. Instead, his eyes widened upon seeing Sou-ho block the assault with his body. Not long after, "heroguy" boarded as well and revealed himself to be none other than Lloyd's master Kyrrdis. Too much was happening to fast. Lloyd grasped a handhold to stay on his feet as the ship began to move but his mind was trying to process it all. "Hey wait a second, people are still down there!" Lloyd shouted over the roar of the engines to no avail.

As the airship began to pull away he saw 2 large gfs bolt out of the top of the mansion. Just then the mansion was engulfed with a radiant light that claimed the mansion in a burst of terrible destruction. Lloyd had no choice but to shield his eyes, but upon looking again...it was over. Lisanna, Sou-ho, and Kalay had stayed behind and were lost with one last ditch effort. This shook Lloyd to his core as he stood in complete shock. As a bit of time passed Lloyd sat now with Ellale and Tae as Nona began to take charge. Yet..Lloyd was quiet and reflective about everything that had just occurred. Why? It may have seemed simple to answer, but his question was far deeper than it would seem. Why did they have to die? Just...why?

The blonde looked up and saw what remained of the squads in shambles. Riyel unconscious, Tae heartbroken, and Ellale? How could they even begin to tell her what happened to Kalay? Lloyd's heart was heavy and his eyes betrayed nothing. But even so...Nona and he had to step up as the leaders of these squads and take charge despite all that happened. The order must be protected, after all. Potions and cures began to heal wounds but not hearts. Lloyd downed a potion and felt any internal injuries mend. His expression was sorrowful and perhaps even frustrated. "Tsh..." Gritting his teeth he got up and made his way to the cockpit.

There sat his master taking them back to Winhill. Lloyd sat in the seat next to him and watched as the clouds rolled by. It was night now, and it was...quiet for a change. Lloyd didn't look at Kyrrdis but it was obvious he wanted to say something. This was common of Lloyd when he was upset, often times he never knew exactly what he wanted to say to convey his feelings. Although, he knew Kyrrdis since he was a child so he felt comfortable confiding in him. "They will retaliate against us...won't they?" Lloyd finally spoke up and glanced over to Ky. What the foreigner had said had worried him. The last thing Lloyd could deal with is seeing Winhill garden burning to the ground.

Caize was near one of the last ones up, his eyes being cast down and back at the building as he saw Nona engaging Edea. He watched her until the he was too far to see her clearly, and the building was torn asunder via Alexander in the distance. He barely saw the figures of the griffon and Seiryuu breaking free, taking to the air before the dragon disappeared. After that point he went and found himself a seat near the front, pulling down the mask that covered his mouth before shaking his head as he strapped in, trying to relax. He felt Alexander disappear, but thought nothing of it as he sat there with his eyes closed, feeling those moving around. His eyes opened after the initial panic of leaving was out of the way before glancing over at Tae and Ellale, Caize watching Ellale specifically for the moment in her unconscious state. She was not going to take well to hearing what had happened to her brother. He then turned his attention to Lloyd, whom had made his way to the front to sit in the co-pilot seat and, probably, talk with the man leading them to safety. Varitas posed a very serious, and very good question, but Nona was more concerned with people sounding off, Caize just bothering to raise his hand rather than announcing his name.

She answered Varitas next, a very flat and blunt response as if the man were clueless. Caize cracked a smirk at her manner of dealing with the others, cold and precise with little real show of concern. "We don't have any immediate ways to contact them, is what she means to say." Caize explained, glancing at Nona out of the corner of his eye. She had moved on to helping people, providing healing and waking up those unconscious. For a moment, he wondered if she realized that by waking up the sister of Kalay that she was waking up someone who was likely to be emotionally unstable. Was it so hard to let her rest before waking up to the cruel reality of what had happened? Apparently so, but he didn't say anything as he sat back. If she wanted to be commanding of the others, more power to her. He honestly didn't care all that much. They weren't doing much until they got back to the garden anyways. He didn't have to look at her to know she was the one speaking with a blunt tone to the others.

And then, she stopped next to him. His eyes opened, his faintly pink eyes watching her with a rather passive gaze before continuing in her blunt manner that they needed to speak. It sounded somewhat like she was telling him what to do, which did slightly bother him, but at the same time it was somewhat amusing to see how the girl took the power of command and assumed she could do what she wanted with it. He chuckled faintly to himself as he pushed himself up, shaking his head as he started back, pondering just how this conversation was going to go. Chances were, not exactly stellar. When she came to a stop, he came to a stop just a few steps from her, hand resting faintly on his hip, as he raised an eyebrow, almost as if to ask her what she thought she was doing.

"You'll find showing some emotion makes you a much more charismatic leader. Doesn't matter how serious you are and how good your ideas are if people don't listen to you because you've got terrible charisma. Sometimes people need comfort, not being told what to do. Also, why don't you try to get their opinions on matters instead of making all decisions for yourself? People also tend to care more when their opinion's matter."

Was he lecturing her? He was definitely lecturing her as he stood there watching her. His expression looked oddly amused though, much in contrast to how serious she had been when telling everyone what to do. "Just like you were when you were a trainee at Galbadia. It's your attitude that resulted in your failure, kid." Now was probably a bad time to be giving her this talk, but if she wanted to pretend she knew everything in regards to leading, she had some work. Either way, he seemed content with himself after this, leaning against the side wall as he watched her. "Can I assume you want to know who I am, seeing as how I know you?"

Nona seemed unhinged. That was the first and only thought which crossed Varitas' mind during her entire episode, but Varitas wasn't so naive as to take her clear gruffness as anything more than her personality surfacing under strain of loss. The rocking and swaying seemed to have calmed and he plucked the kit from his lap and unbuckled himself. With a slight re-adjustment to the sway of the gunship, his feet found sure footing and he was up and about, though likely inadvisably so.
Having given no further thought to his voiced concern, he swiftly set about administering the antidote with a practiced hand to Riyel, and afterwards to himself. once his innards felt less like becoming out-ards. He then set about tending to the burns and blisters caused by the last foolhardy, though admirably brash attempt to create an opening for his sword to strike true. Sadly, there was an unexpected retaliation which made the strike less of a priority than stopping the deadly surge of energy killing his fellow. After administering the first-aid, he stood again.
"So, how is everyone doing?" Varitas asked softly glancing around at the group. He'd never before had dropped his businesslike manner, but now that the task he'd been hired on for had been completed, though not to the outcome he imagined everyone had wished to achieve, he had no further reason to press forward, as there no longer seemed to be a set objective.

Tae wasn’t sure how long she’d sat there with her eyes closed until something was shoved onto her lap. Ever so slowly she opened her eyes to a small bag that if she looked inside held phoenix feathers and what looked to be potions. Of course raising her gaze it had been Nona who turned her attention to Riyel. She let out a small sigh ignoring the potions for now. She might take them later but she just wasn’t in the right place of mind to be thinking of her own healing. No, her thoughts were of the others. There was one in particular above all the rest.

Her gaze turned towards that person who sat next to her before she looked up to watch Lloyd head towards the cockpit. No doubt to talk to the pilot that had been none other than Kyrrdis. Lowering that gaze she thought to herself. Rest, Kitten. Rest for as long as you can. Her thumb made small circles against Ellale’s hand.

As she thought this the new guy seemed to speak up to the group at large asking how they were. She kept her gaze down before closing her eyes once more. She was fine. It was Ellale that she was more worried about. Once again she opened her eyes to look at the girl. Chero… where are you? She thought the question. It wouldn’t be till a little later where the cargo hold in where everyone sat started to give off a soft warm glow before a small creature appeared in front of Tae. This creature looked rather displeased about being summoned and even more displeased on where it was.

"I don't believe it matters if Sou-ho recognized me or not." His tone was a bit sharp, showing some level of irritation with Nona's attitude. He continued after Nona finished, looking more an more irritated as she continued to say things that were not necessarily true, and her skepticism of him was even more irritating, albeit understandable. "First off, not a Galbadia SeeD. Don't lump me with them, neither is the girl whom so quickly turned on us. We're actually both from Balamb, along with one of your instructors, Kalay Laytos. So no, neither one of us are Galbadia SeeD, so I'm not one if their "top operatives." I'm one of Balambs."

"Galbadia Garden was not in Edea's "pocket", as you call it, as of the time I was still there, which would be yesterday. Galbadia was under orders from the President to guard the mansion because some information was leaked that suggested an attack was coming. All the same, even knowing that, there wasn't a point in stopping you guys because this was the best chance you had to take care of her. I personally had planned a route of escape, so no one else knew it and you could have used it to escape." It was clear that the more he spoke, the more he was dismissing almost everything Nona was throwing at him. He closed his eyes for a moment as he sighed, shaking his head before glancing back at her again, his gaze sharp. "Granted, since you guys managed to botch your attempt, I'd say Galbadia might very well be employed to destroy your little quaint Garden. As for Kiyari, yes, I thought it possible she'd turn on us, but I was prepared for it. I was going to deal with her if she did, I did not, however, expect Karas to be there."

Drawing to a close Caize's eyes turned more towards the the front of the ship, his expression looking less than amused by Nona's interrogation. "Now that I've answered your questions I didn't need to, you mind giving me a break? I'm not particularly happy about dropping a building on two of my old friends and the grandson of the man I have to talk to. I do not need some upstart interrogating me when I've got a bit more important things on my mind."

Tae was quiet as she sat in her seat her eyes gazed down at Chero when it arrived. The warmth of its entrance filled her entire body and perhaps even to her soul. It was almost as if each time it appeared she felt more at home than anywhere else. The question to that was why though? Why did she feel as if this creature touched her very soul? It filled a void that she didn’t realize was there until it appeared. Taking in a slow breath the two shared a look. It never spoke a word to her for as long as she remembered having it.

As she sat there her gaze moved from the GF to Caize and Nona who seemed to be having some sort of heated conversation. From where she sat it appeared that Nona was grilling Caize. Probably about his supposedly partner that turned on all of them. They didn’t really have time to be turning on each other. With one last spared glance towards her GF she spoke softly to it after placing one of the phoenix feathers on the girl to wake her from her slumber. Tae felt it would be quicker to heal Ellale this way rather than wait. ”Take care of Kit—Ellale for me.”

With that she unbuckled herself and stood on wobbly legs. They felt like jello to her as she moved from her spot closer to where Caize and Nona were so she didn’t have to yell at them. Not that they were really that far seeing as the area in which they were held in wasn’t exactly enormous in size. ”I don’t think we have time to sit and pick fights with each other, Nona. Learn to pick and choose your battles.” There would always be those ones where you wished you hadn’t chosen that one but that was life and something to be learned from. Her eyes moved from Nona to look at Caize. ”He may have his own reasons for the actions he’s done but we’ve all known going into this mission that there would be some of us that would not be making the return trip home.” She switched her gaze back to Nona her gaze determined but other than that what she felt right now about everything was carefully closed off from everyone. ”Even as SeeD’s it’s what’s expected that each mission we take we may not walk away from.

“My point being is if we fight among ourselves then we would have already lost the battle and the war that’s surely to come our way. Instead of questioning the actions of our allies we should be planning our next move. If the Garden is indeed to be targeted then we need to make a plan to protect it, don’t you think?”

Had Tae felt sorry for Caize being under the scope of Nona’s attention? Probably not for what she said had a point. They were wasting their time interrogating Caize when it could be used in formulating a plan.

Meanwhile anyone paying any attention to the small white GF with red markings upon its fur would see it turn its attention to Ellale after watching Tae for a moment move across the airship with a rather disappointed look. Tae seemed to glow a little more as the GF healed her then began to heal Ellale further. Each time the GF seem to be able to control the glow so as not to blind the pilot and send the airship crashing to the ground. Once it seemed to heal Ellale to its liking Chero took Tae’s seat next to her wrapping its huge tail around itself.
