The power is out, a vehicle has been obtained, and Sephiroth has been found within the labs. In confusion, there is profit; with the nearby power plant still on fire and parts of periodically exploding, there will certainly be a chance for them to get away. All will not be easy for this group, however. Despite the confusion, their path will not

Well it was obvious that the power was out, for whatever reason. Of course they were going to have to transport him somewhere else. But there was that nagging, near instinctual hunch. This couldn't be the opportunity, right ( ... )

But this illusion was short-lived, this momentary return to his full strength. Sephiroth had done what was needed and now done it seemed the very specks of lifestream which had claimed his victims soul were eating away also at his own resolve. The firm grip he had managed to force upon this power was slipping like sand through his fingers. It ate away at his clothing, dissolving it like a smoking cinder except once dissolved the ash vanished into the nothing from whence it had come.
A few dots of blood hit the floor near to the fallen scientist and his attention was drawn to them. It was his, fallen from his multi-punctured arm. Masamune was already gone and the rest of the illusion shattered like glass stretched too thin.
Mother He thought loudly, hoping ( ... )

"What is going on here?"
Vega recognized that voice, barely. She turned to see the head of Shinra's Science Department: Hojo. She made a face and glanced between Elena and the silver-haired man she was supporting.
"Get out of our way Professor. Make it easy on yourself." Vega's voice was low, almost dark.

Elena had only a fraction of a second to hear the footsteps - hurried, panicked - before the owner burst into the doorway. In those few moments she melted into the darkness near the wall, gripping the handle of her cane like a baseball bat. A corner of her mouth quirked up into a grin when voice and visual were identified. This was too perfect.

The old man was stubborn, all right, refusing to just lay down after her first swing. He was a witness, getting a good look at not just her but Vega as well. Hazel eyes narrowed. You...can't even remember my name?! His movement registered, even in darkness, the sounds of fabric shifting and moving. Taking a step back, she dropped her cane and raised her fists in a defensive stance ( ... )

He'd noted, through hearing mostly the arrival of the Professor but had neither the time or energy to deal with him now. There was only one goal he had to put all of his attention into right that moment and that entailed getting out of this facility.

He felt cold at said extremities and the sensation was spreading alarmingly; a small shudder communicated it to his helper.

The last thing any of them wanted was for Sephiroth to end up sick on top of his new wounds and all the drugs. At least Kira was getting the vehicle ready for them.
Vega had to carefully guide him along the halls. Since the passage they had first come in through had mostly collapsed, she had to find another way out.
"Almost there." Even on the edge of consciousness, she was sure hearing that would help him a bit.
