The city of Neo Arcadia, a large city with it's synthetic plants and cities, it's large size may make it hard to find a girl and a pursuit of soldiers... Well if it was more quiet. "We have you surrounded. Now come with us quietly," the masked soldiers with their guns aimed at her declared. "Sorry, but I'm not really feeling co-operative today," Tifa regarded as she did not ease her stance. She had to get away from them fast, if she didn't they'd probably attract too much attention and reinforcements. She's not sure how much longer she can keep this up.

One of the soldiers came at her with a baton, to which she  managed to dodge and grab his arm. As she made her move, one of the guards prepared to fire his gun, noticing this, Tifa threw the soldier at the other, sending them flying back. Two soldiers came at her from sides and attempting to hit her with their batons, only for her to duck, causing them to hit each other before performing a sweep kick and knocking them down. "The target is proving more trouble than expected, requesting backup," one of the Shinra gaurds called, an unit with a shield and baton appearing with a guard dog. One of the gun soldiers getting back up as well. Breathing a little heavy, Tifa tensed her fighting stance. "I don't have time for this. If only there was a way to break through..." she said to herself. This was about the time the rescue team could interfere with the Shinra assault.

Teleos had already been rushing as far ahead as he could, his soul burning with anger and with power, wanting nothing less than the total destruction of the men he'd heard about. Chasing a woman around, trying to hurt her or worse. Teleos didn't want to think about it. He wanted to drive their faces into the ground, to break their spirit, and will to fight.

"Not so fast, you punks! Saint! Show 'em what for!"

From behind Tifa, towards the exit of the area, a blue blur swerves in, a full force... thing of some sort. As it came into view, that was some sort of humanoid creature. Flowing garb and swift strikes unlike any human's ability to do so. It wasn't a summon, but it was clearly magical in origin. Its originator comes walking from behind, thumbs in his pockets as the thing charges the Soldier..!

(Saint of Might unleashes the Ocean of Fists at the Shinra Soldier! Originally targeting DEX, the advantage of this first turn lets it target WIS instead! The second roll consumes a Soul Charge, and adds to its damage. 4 hits dealing 5% damage each, to a total of 20. The extra 2 gives it 22% Damage! KNOCKOUT!)

The flurry of blows lands, sounding like gunshots as the spectral familiar returns to Teleos' back. Those hits weren't just four blows, they were bursts of blows, fast strikes at blinding speeds, much faster than a normal eye could even notice! Then, he moves his hand to his face, before throwing his other forward. Some sort of summoning gesture, or perhaps, a strange channeling maneuver. Regardless, he just dropped a soldier in a single go.

"Backup's here, but not for you jerks! Hey lady! Get behind me, cavalry's here."

Teleos was calling to Tifa, just as he starts advancing on the positions of the others..!

Two of the three strikes go through on that second blitz. Whatever this spectral being was, it was beyond fast. Connected to its user by some heavily magical tie. The thing moves back, and throws a final strike..! A stomp!

(Tendency to Fight [Medium Variant] to the Guard Dog! Deals 16% damage on hit. That's a total of 28% the Dog's taken.)

After that breakneck blitz, Teleos takes a broad stance, readying himself to move if need be. He's smug, grinning. Teleos knows he's made one hell of an impression, and the hotheaded lady he enlisted with was likely to make one as well..!

"So who wants some?!"

    Undyne wanted to arrive as soon as possible, so that she could actually make a difference and not miss any of the action. Unfortunately, she wasn't the first one there, but luckily for her, her partner in this mission hadn't been there long, having just finished his first flurry of blows. He seemed to be a rather normal-looking human, if a bit fancy with his attire. But what was that thing he was using to fight? It looked to be some sort of ornately-dressed entity, that stood by (or rather, in front of) him, delivering rapid fire punch after rapid fire punch. While it wasn't the bravest method of fighting, the results couldn't be denied. Already, one of the Shinra soldiers had been laid low, and their attack dog was wounded.

    This was as a good a time as any to swoop in for the assist. As soon as Teleos took a broad, somewhat self-confident pose, Undyne charged in from the side, attacking the wounded canine first.

yHRG9Fg9p_1d20+3(Spear Stab @ Guard Dog: Hit! 16% damage. That Guard Dog is out.) 

Her charging stab struck true, its target being sent nearly ten feet away from where it was previously, and decisively out for the count.

    "Thanks for softening them up for me! C'mon, let's keep this up!" Undyne said to her partner, Teleos, before eyeing the other two combatants, both of which seemed much tougher than the two they had just taken out. One had a riot shield, which could probably be used to block any attack thrown at them. Undyne couldn't deny that it made sense to carry one into battle. Just by holding it up, the Soldier could most likely be able to bat aside her thrown spears with ease. The Elite Commander, on the other hand, had no such ability. Thus, Undyne targeted the less defensive of the two, summoning three small spears before sending them flying towards the Commander.

    As the Commander was reeling from those spears, Undyne rushed towards them, thrusting one of her spears forwards yet again.

p_1d20+3(Spear Stab @ Elite Commander: Miss)


    The Commander, not wanting to be underestimated, was able to duck under Undyne's spear. Undyne, in response, quickly jumped back, made a bit more wary of their opponent, but not entirely demoralized just yet. Stepping towards Teleos and Tifa, Undyne prepared herself for the Shinra's counterattack. 


    "Get ready, looks like they're about to start fighting back!"

As the woman and Avalanche prepare to square off more, they are caught off guard by a voice approaching... That clearly wasn't a Shinra ally as a blue... creature flew past her and went to beat down the soldier. "NANI?!" the soldier declared before he was hit by a barrage of punches, being hit with devestating blows before falling down, his body dissipating into purple energy. "A summon? No, I don't think I've ever seen one like that," Tifa acknowledged the strange creature and... the man it was apparently bonded to. The dog managed to avoid one of the blows but gave a whimper before growling at the other two connecting before gaving another cry as he was stomped.

The loyal canine attempted to get back up but it was already too late as a fish woman with a spear stabbed it, causing it to go limp before dissipating into purple energy. Then the commander became the target, getting hit by two of the newcomer's spears, he was able to duck the last as he aimed his gun at her. "So you aim to help this terrorist? Then we will need to take you in too!" the commander yelled back before firing his gun at Undyne in retaliation.

(Undyne! The Shinra Soldier is attempting to assault you with his gun, roll a 12 or higher in DEX to avoid, failure to dodge results in 20% damage)

The Shinra commander did not let up however as he tossed a grenade at the other newcomer, attempting to blow him up with lethal force.

(Teleos! The Shinra Commander is trying to hit you with a grenade. Roll a 12 or higher in DEX to dodge or take 30% damage)

After the Shinra Commander's assault, the Shinra Riot Officer would hold out his baton as it surged with an electrical energy before swinging it, causing electrical waves to surge through the ground at the whole group!

(Everyone! The Shinra Riot Officer is using his baton to send a wave of electricity at you! Roll a 12 or higher in DEX to avoid or take 15% damage with a 50% chance of Paralysis)

Tifa jumped to a nearby wall and used it to clear the blast of electricity. "Thanks for the help. Didn't think help was coming let alone strangers. I can still fight a little longer. Let's clear this group and you can lead the way," she suggested before stepping forward and suddenly disappearing in a brief golden trail. She then suddenly reappeared by the unguarded side of the Riot Officer, jabbing him in the side before disappearing and hitting him in the other side, then vanishing again and jabbing him in the back with her elbow before vanishing once more and slamming her leg onto his head from above, flipping back as she dazed the officer.

p_1d20+3(Crit confirm, another 24 damage)

She would then grab the officer while he was out of it by the head, and with a flip tossed him directly at the Elite Commander, it knocking the Elite down for a moment as the Riot Officer faded away into that purple energy again. Tifa would then land on her feet, regaining position.

p_1d20+4(Grapple and throwing Riot Officer at Shinra Elite Commander, deals 30 damage to both, since it's a grapple it also bypasses the Riot Shield)

Teleos braces for impact just as that grenade was thrown, leveling his shield to absorb the blast. Not today! The explosion rocks against his barrier, cracking it and reducing it, but Teleos wasn't backing down or backing up. He was approaching the commander, with that golden, flowing, menacing aura surrounding him. Hell, if Undyne remembered, this guy may look like he came straight out of some anime!

(Teleos shielded the 30% hit, and the 15% one, too!)

He cracks his knuckles, that Guardian winding up. "You're already dead. Saint! Finish 'em off!" At his command, the Astral Guardian surges forward, winding up before throwing a myriad of strikes. That same technique he'd used previously to pummel his target into the dirt..!

(Ocean of Fists at the Commander. Deals 20% damage split into 4 bursts of hits that deal 5% each. The 1d5 rolled was a Soul Charge, boosting this attack by an additional 5%!)

The Saint of Might wasn't done following orders just yet, winding up to bring down three quick strikes. Albeit, harder than the rush of blows for each swing. Concussive on each swing, so it seemed.

p_1d20+4p_1d20+4p_1d20+4
(Tendency to Fight [Light]! Each attack deals 6% damage on hit, since only two of them land, it deals 12% damage.)

After the brief three swings, with the second one missing outright, Teleos grows angrier, and swings his arm up. Saint of Might interprets this with a wild, spiraling uppercut!

p_1d20+4p_1d5
(Tendency to Fight [Medium]! This heavy haymaker deals 16% damage on hit. The 1d5 is another Soul Charge, making this attack deal 17% damage due to the boost.)

With the rush over, Teleos turns around, leaving Saint watching his back, that second set of eyes, in order to assess the two after the fact. "Either of you two hurt?" All the while, the young man had that glimmer, that twinkle of worry in his eyes as he once overed the two. "These guys look tough, but we got it. Right?" He flashes that charismatic grin, that smug smile. The guy knew they were gonna get out of here alive.

Oh boy, it's time to shield!

60-10-20-15=15%

Undyne quickly put up a shield, not content with the idea of dodging gunfire (she knew it could be done, but also knew it was out of her ballpark. She wasn't stupid). The shield held up fine, and also survived a second strike upon it, this one being some sort of electrical pulse. Undyne put down her shield, and planned to strike back, but Teleos, once again, beat her to it. And did he ever beat her to it. It was impressive how fast the Commander went down. Saint of Might was a total beast, it seemed.

"Holy crap, man! That thing is a beast! ...Well, not literally, but still." Undyne couldn't help but admire the fact that Teleos was able to make quick work of their opponents, all while not needing to actually throw a punch of his own. Whatever Saint of Might was, exactly, it was clearly a powerful combatant in its own right. It was like something from those animated shows she liked. Y'know, the ones where people are really buff and punch really fast? Those ones (Happy, Phreeze?). 

"I'm alright. Glad you got here quick so you could make sure she's okay," Undyne answered Teleos's inquiry, putting on a smile in the process. "But to be honest, I wish you could at least waited for me. It's no fun when someone else is hogging the spotlight, y'know?"

The chatting was a nice reprieve from the action, but the action had just begun. Soon, they'ed have to move forward or risk being surrounded by the soldiers. Undyne decided to be the one to take initiative, and pointed forwards, away from their current location.

"C'mon, you two, let's get going before more show up!"

In  a flurry of blows the last Shinra force was taken down. Tifa relaxed her position as all the enemies fell to their attacks. "... It is a new way of fighting..." Tifa acknolwedged in thought... Well time for questions was later. "That isn't the end of them. We need to get out of here before more show up," she nodded to Undyne, following after her. They looked like they were going to make it, the city outskirts not far. However before they could get there, a large group, much larger than before showed up to surround them. Tifa got ready to fight before noticing something. It was getting brighter... A lot brighter. And the brightness seemed focused on... Oh. "Move! Something's coming!" the woman called before running to jump over a Shinra soldier and out of the circle. Soon a gigantic beam of light would impact the area, absolutely destroying any trace of the soldiers, it being aimed at where the group was.

(Everyone! A mysterious beam of light is trying to eradicate you! Roll a 14 or higher in DEX to avoid or suffer 60 damage)

Tifa made it out of the blast range and sitting in the Blast Radius was a... clown? "So you dodged it? Clever girl. Not many see the Light of Judgement coming before it's too late," the clown observed with a cuffed hand. "... Who are you supposed to be?" Tifa asked, getting a really bad feeling from this guy. "Who? Me? Oh, just a simple God here to clean up some pests. Kefka Palozzo," he introduced with a sinister smile and succeeded it with a laugh. A very unsettling laugh.

".. You? A god? Sorry if I find that a bit hard to believe..." She questioned as she went to deliver some punches to the jester... Who swiftly evaded her jabs as if it were a dance. "Well you best start believein'. I just got the chance to show some hospitality and went why not?" he shrugged before taking an uppercut to the face, falling back. "... Before the next act, I will love to hear your screams," he said in a darker tone than his previous lighthearted one.
