Genesis breathed in the tarnished air with little liking, the lingering scent tasting metallic and bland in his lungs and occasionally prompting him to crinkle his nose as he passed yet another sickly green streetlight. Despite having spent nearly 3 weeks in the hellion metropolis, he still could not find himself keen on adapting to the olive oil atmosphere set above like a tent of smog.

Apparently, the small voyage for wanting to get some 'fresh air' had him close to just turn around to head straight back, to catch up on whatever nightmare he would be blessed with. The cracked buildings, powdery ruins and lined the ashen street like a sombre ceremony of mourning, Genesis treading in the dead center of the aimless road. Dead as any typical night which met the soft clacking of his blade boots, and the occasional shifting of the shadows in the passed alleyways had his eyes thrown from crevice to crevice, his mental alertness awake.

Truth be told, he never really wanted to allow himself to hear anything at all which went on around him

One scratch. Two! Three! The little creature whined and screeched, the poor little thing. Fluids bled out, and he took in the aroma with visual glee, bloodied face still twisted in that uncharacteristic grin. Almost as if a wolf pouncing on its catch, the red-cloaked man leapt onto the dead crab, continuing to tear the outer shell apart with his teeth. ...or, attempt to. These little bastards were tough. Giving up with trying to eat the thing, the man pulled back and simply continued to dig at it with sharp claws, continuing to just rip it apart all along the concrete.

A small voice caught his attention and he stopped, body still continuing to pulse with that dangerous red glow and burning crimson eyes. And he turned to the voice, finding a human of all things in a place like this. Growling deeply, he moved forward carefully, on all fours eyeing the paralyzed victim with something resembling anticipation. Waiting for the thing to move, to try and run run run away!He loved the chase

Sephiroth had had a very bad feeling the moment he had read Vincent's post on the network. Though he had tried to find out what was going on, Vincent had been either too stubborn to say or...Well, the roar and the crash at the end of their conversation put an end to Sephiroth's guessing. He knew little of Chaos as both Vincent and Lucrecia had been reluctant to speak of it to him but what else could it have been

[optionalwangst]

His hazed vision caught sight of something... familiar in the distance, though he couldn't quite put his finger on exactly who or what it was. Whatever the case, it was bothering him. Mouth now curling into a dog-like snarl, the red-cloaked man released his victim, allowing him to drop to the concrete. Whoever this was now, they were being annoying and he didn't like that.

What colour was his blood~?

The crimson haze thickened as his anger grew, the inhuman man now hunched over and poised for attack, inching towards the other man slowly and growling. The bloodied claw of the gauntlet flexed eagerly. Coherent thought was gone, lost in the depths of that influenced mind.

[godamongmortals]

Sephiroth stood, outwardly calm as the...thing that he had known as Vincent Valentine and now appeared to be something else altogether stalked towards him like a predator hunting its prey. He had faced down all kinds of monsters before. One more did not affect him.

What did affect him was that this was his step-father coming towards him, growling and snarling inhumanly. Though his mother was no longer around, Sephiroth knew he could not kill or even seriously wound him for her sake. He would, however, do what he had to in order to defend himself and keep both himself and Genesis alive.

"That's it, Valentine. Where's the fun in going after the easy prey?" Sephiroth smirked. Genesis probably didn't like being referred to in that way but really, what kind of SOLDIER just stood there when he was getting attacked. At the very least, he should have run if he was not going to fight back

[lovelessdevout]

Following the loosened and removed clench of jagged claws against his collar, any feeling he could register involved thudding harshly to the ground without as much as a protesting groan. Even then, all he could do was keep his saucer-wide eyes glued to the feral red creature as it backed off --seemingly to the countering voice not too far from his left.

Genesis felt himself cringe slightly upon spotting Sephiroth standing there without as little a hint of alarm in his posture. Even as to why he was here was overwhelming enough. His scowl only deepened in confusion as he made out Sephiroth's words, successfull prompting a sneer. Just who the hell did he think he is? Strutting like a cat

[optionalwangst]

Back and forth, back and forth, talk talk talk and no action. The silver-haired man's words drove into his mind the most - easy prey - and the other man in red was spared one glance before his attention turned back to the other. The growling grew in volume until he leapt up, ignoring a swipe of the flimsy sword to his arm and landing a deep scratch across the man's open chest.

The blood dripping down his own arm forced a shudder of excitement, and he literally licked his own wound.

Wonderful...

[lovelessdevout]

Fuck. It didn't work. It just got worse. It didn't help at all. The masquerade of his surroundings had muted to the sound of ripping flesh, cutting through Genesis' own heart as if it was him that the claws had scathed

[4letters4ninja]

He had asked not to be followed, and thus, Ziva did just as she wasn't told, and did. Of course, she had stayed in the shadows and far enough back to not be seen, but she had noticed that something seemed off. Of course, when he had asked for advice on where to go, it had caught her attention.

Now, she lingered in the background, watching as things unfolded. Realizing that she may have put herself in a position she shouldn't be in, she stayed hidden, although willing to throw herself out in the open if she needed. Seemed like the other two had a good handle on the situation, at least as far as she could see.

[optionalbadass]

"Hey, get away from him!"

A small blur of colour shot past Sephiroth, coming to a stop between Vincent - who had really seen better days, she had to admit, but after some of his freakier Limit Breaks this was actually pretty normal - and Genesis - who she had no idea about except that generally guys like him were bad news. Also he'd just punched Vincent in the face, so that was another mark against him. To summarise: the whole situation stank, and here she was in the middle of it because all the guys in her life were raging idiots. And possessed by creepy science experiments.

"I mean it! Stay over there." She twisted, so she would be able to watch all of them at once, and tried for her most ferocious expression. It wasn't that great, considering that she couldn't change her rather diminutive height or that her weapon was a war fan, but she'd be damned if this wasn't getting sorted out. "Vincent, snap out of it."

[godamongmortals]

Sephiroth watched the inhuman creature look between him and Genesis, trying to decide who to attack first. But before he could make his move, the choice was made and he was the one attacked. As fast as he tried to dodge backward, Sephiroth was just not quick enough and his chest was ripped open by savage claws, drawing a surprised and pained cry from his lips.

Before he had much time to react, Genesis had grabbed Vincent and had punched him and then Yuffie appeared, darting past him to put herself between Genesis and Vincent.

'Idiotic ninja...'As much as Sephiroth disliked Yuffie, he had no desire to see her die. Perhaps humiliated as she had humiliated him but truthfully, Sephiroth would just be happy if she stayed far, far away from him. That was not possible for the moment though, so he just shot her a glare and otherwise ignored her

[optionalwangst]

Many targets now. So many. The beast snarled and glanced at each and every one of them, confused and unsure of who to strike next. The punch had hurt and he wanted to make that human hurt just as much as he did, but then someone smaller and weaker had appeared and the silver-haired one was back up, trying to call to him. Near-foaming at the mouth, he backed up, claw raised to just take them all out in one single blow when the she-human spoke. Wincing, the man clutched at his head, feeling a pang of something... familiar.

Snap out of it!

"...fie... Yu... ff..."

Confused, he shook his head, the crimson aura still as strong as ever and the bloodlust still apparent on his face. Whatever that had been, it was gone now, and he just wanted to kill! Easy prey, easy prey... definately the girl. Ignore her. The red one managed to take him down

[lovelessdevout]

Whoever was the little brat which seemed to appear before him, Genesis was almost surprised. Almost. He would have almost brought himself to laugh at the weak attempt to defend the feral being. In his small amusement, his guard had let out quite a bit...enough to miss those next hits meeting him.

The trip which sent him against the wall, knocked him breathless and rendered his legs weak beneath him. He cursed softly as he clutched his chest, knees crashing to the floor.

That smarted. He should have known better. Since coming to this dreaded, back-of-the-sink world, his very cosmic identity was replaced by a dull shadow; weak, cold and barely there. Here, he was powerless. That hurt and angered now more than ever.

When he raised his head enough to throw a glance at Sephiroth, again, relaxation was practically his middle name. Growling softly, the redhead threw his best scowl across as he helped himself up with the help of the chapped wall

[godamongmortals]

Sephiroth frowned, almost snarling in anger, as his attempt at distraction failed and he saw Genesis get attacked. But Genesis was a grown man and a SOLDIER First Class. He could handle a beating. Sephiroth just did not want to see those claws rip him open. That would be a most unwelcome sight

[optionalbadass]

It really had gotten to the point that Yuffie could pinpoint the exact moment when someone dismissed her as no threat. There was a certain shifting, or they'd stop keeping her in their sights; as if she suddenly didn't exist. And boy, it made her mad every single time. She sent a dark look after the man in red, though him leaving could really only help at this point, and went back to the important people in this.

Who were... talking. That was weird. Actually, seeing Sephiroth do anything but mutter weird stuff about Jenova or laugh at them was never going to get any less disturbing, as much as she'd managed to adjust to living in the same building as the guy for over a month. Seeing whatever he was saying work was even weirder. There had been that moment of recognition when she'd first appeared from Vincent, but it figured he'd be difficult and need more than her brilliant self to snap out of it

[optionalwangst]

Almost as if he were a child throwing a tantrum, the red-cloaked man threw himself forward and slammed still-glowing palms onto the concrete, the claws cracking the hardened rock some. Whatever humanity was left inside of him, it was fighting. And Chaos didn't like it. Not fully understanding the others' words, the ex-Turk snarled and attempted a swipe at the young girl, the movement only half-heartedly as he continued to struggle with himself. There was... something inside of him. Something telling him to leave the ninja girl alone. At that moment, he couldn't fully grasp why exactly, but he couldn't bring himself to kill her.

One left. The silver one was still standing.

If he couldn't take her out, then he'd just go for the alternative.

Pushing the girl out of the way, he charged, somewhat faster than before, and attempted another swipe at the silver-haired man, digging sharp fangs into the other man's shoulder if that failed. If he was going to attack, he needed something, and the girl was off-limits. Leaping back, the ex-Turk
