Moms are tough [Action | Home event!]

[Hanging Edge. An abandoned city near the edge of Cocoon, the crossroads of hundreds of roads and tracks. Long ago it was a bustling metropolis, but during the War of Transgression, it was abandoned.]

[Today, it is a warzone.]

[Sanctum soldiers unload streams of ammunition at sabotaged and diverted trains, behind which terrified former residents of Bodhum village cower. The Purge has begun, and contrary to the Primarch's recorded statements, these 'brave' citizens are not being relocated to Pulse. They are being slaughtered.]

[Across a rubble-strewn highway, a group of youths fight back, spraying gunfire at the soldiers from behind hastily-erected barricades. The paramilitary organization, the youth group, NORA, consisting of Gadot, Lebreau, and Maqui --]

[Uh, no. Today, it consisted of Serah, Shadow, and Espio. Who had each been conveniently dumped into one of those three's shoes.]

[And the rest of their clothing as well.]

[Time Compression... could have a strange sense of humor.]

[When the bullets start whizzing by, Serah freezes momentarily before cowering behind some cover.]

What's going on? Where am...

[It's that point that she realizes just what she's wearing and it stops her train of thought completely.]

Why am I wearing Lebreau's clothes?

[There's another spray of bullets and she pulls back in tighter as she tries to see just what's going on. This was time compression again, right? It had to be. Which means...]

Snow? Espio? Where are you?

[She's not ready for a fight like this. This isn't her idea of preparing to be useful. This is just terrifying.]

Great, gunfire again! Just what we need...

[]

Over here... any idea where we are this time?

[neutralchaotic]

[Shadow's outfit is far too...revealing and unnecessary. As if walking around without the added clothes is any better. At the sound of gunfire, he is instantly alert.

He sees the other three from their group.]

'Espio looks ridiculous.'

[Quickly makes his way over to them. It's best to stay together.]

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

[Over the sounds of gunfire, the Primarch's speech (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EXgRNh_L3Q&feature=player_detailpage#t=327s) continued -- till a large boot stomped the speaker from which it blared.]

[Back... here? He couldn't be surprised, not after going through Shadow and Espio's pasts as well. He should he known his own time would come. And this particular event had been on his mind, lately.]

[What had he said to Yuj, the first time?]

These people need heroes. You keep your cool, and they will too... you got it?

[And then he climbs over the stack of rubble, expecting to see the others amongst the members of NORA. What he actually sees, of course, has him staring.]

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

We're on my world. [She says this with complete conviction despite not really knowing the area. The fact that she's wearing Lebreau's clothing is more than enough to prove this to her.]

I'm not really sure what's going on though.

[Then she spies Snow and part of her worry disappears. Whatever's going on, he knows about it. This she know for certain.]

Snow! [She waves from where she's crouched, careful to not draw any enemy fire.]

so, so sorry ;o;

Whatever we're doing, guess I'm in.

[Follows suit with removing the garments. It would only hinder their movements, and make them standout more.

The world they are at is torn up by war, and seeing so many people sitting around, letting some overpowering tyrant do as they pleased...

It wasn't right. On both accounts.]

'Allowing themselves to be resigned to their fates. Pitiful.'

[Looks over to Snow and Serah, arms crossed. It's obvious he'll help out, too, just waiting for a plan, or at the very least, details.]

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

[He can't say he's too surprised.]

This is the Purge, in Hanging Edge. These people have been brought here to be killed, and it's our job to stop that. I don't know if anything we do will make a difference here, but I plan to make it turn out better than last time.

[He slams a fist into his palm with a grin.] Come on. Let's show 'em the army's no match for Balamb.

[And without hesitation, he charges off towards the nearest group of rifle-wielding soldiers.]

[focusrelay.livejournal.com]

[Well that puts a time to the place at least. It'll be interesting seeing just what was going on with her own eyes.]

[Glancing down at the clothes she's wearing, Serah manages a small smile despite the situation.]

And Nora too!

[Lebreau isn't here to say it, so she'll say it for her. Though that does beg the question of "Just where are the others?", but that can get worried about later. For now it's time to get to work. Work being casting protect and shell for everyone as a safety precaution. Yay magic!]
