Re: Final Fantasy: Worldless

[Unabound Justice]

(And you know who is the guy I had the winter escapade with.)

[Cali]

Tifa ran towards a cliff, eyes frenzied as she took quick looks to the two girls, Cloud, Denzel and Thalia. She nodded at them before yelling out as she dived gracefully over the cliff, flipping occasionally before falling head first, arms at her side. Rikku and Yuna fell beside her with Denzel not too far behind.

[Unabound Justice]

Cloud followed suit, throwing caution to the wind as he hurtled after the four, arms clamped to his side.

Thalia sighed, "So much jumping off of cliffs around here!" she hissed before throwing herself off the ledge after them silently.

[Cali]

Tifa smirked then tensed, hearing three other cries. She truned a hundred and eighty degrees before seeing that the three girls were still alive and diving after them. "When will they stop!?" she yelled and flipped before skidding down the cliffside, Yuna and Rikku falling suit.
Denzel did the same, pulling out the gun Cloud had handed him.

[Unabound Justice]

Thalia landed gracefully on her feet, gun cocked and ready to go. "What are we doing now?" she hissed.

Cloud cast glance over his shoulder, "Do us all a favor and stop talking" was his only reply as he turned back, the clicking of teeth as she shut her mouth being heard all around.

[Cali]

Tifa landed in a crouch, waiting for the right opportunity like a predator and its prey. She was snarling with each breath, her bloody eyes blazing.

[Unabound Justice]

Thalia arched an eyebrow and looked between the two adults. It was silent like a grave. An unsettling sort of peace.

Cloud had his buster sword held high, ready for anything. Listening to the silence that spoke volumes.

[Cali]

Tifa lunged at Hitomi, locking into a fierce battle of will and determination. They retored curses at each other, challenging each other.

Denzel stood beside Thalia before releasing shots towards the redhead ninja alongside Yuna.

[Unabound Justice]

Thalia glanced at him before reaching over with her free hand and adjusting his grip on the gun, "Your hand won't get tired nearly as fast, meaning, more shots fired so a higher chance of beating your opponent.

Cloud swung and sliced at the girls furiously, swinging firmly.

[Cali]

Denzel nodded and continued before they all dispersed when Kasumi attacked them.

Tifa was slammed into the cliffside with a yell before she jumped and kicked Hitomi in the stomach with both of her feet and landed in a crouch. The two women glared before the scene changed to a burning church, seperating Cloud, Denzel, Thalia, Yuna and Rikku from Tifa behind her while it seperated Kasumi and Ayane from Hitomi. The two girls stood and simply stared, the flames simply staying where they were.
Then, they ran towards each other, yelling out. Then the battle began. It went on for a long while until Tifa finally injured Hitomi so badly that she was blind and bleeding from both of her eyes. Slowly, the woman stood and staggered.

Licking flames raged around her like the conflagrant fires of Hell. Sweat seeped from her pores, dripping along with the toxic tar that obscured her vision. She'd been trained for this, fighting without sight. Blind fighting…a technique she mastered and excelled in.
Blind fighting…something very dangerous...risky. One wrong move and you're done for. Her opponent certainly would show no mercy.
The air around the young karate master thickened with lung scalding smoke, nothing pure able to collect in her hammering chest. Whipping crackles of smoldering fire lapped the stony structure that crumbled around the brunette. The warm earth beneath her was still, vibrations uncharted.
Confidently, she took her stance, ready for more action. That dark haired wrench had splattered her eyes with poison. So be it.
Arms outstretched, she taunted the midnight clad girl across the torrid room.
That's when she felt her presence, the earth beneath her roared to live, pounding with her heart. A fist sliced the air, aimed for her ink splattered face, and Hitomi crossed her arms securely, blocking the blow. The onyx eyed girl stumbled to the right, fist still extended, caught by surprise. Regaining her composure, Tifa reared her leg in an uppercut as she caught herself, gloved hands scraping the earth, straining to kick the damn brunette with the annoying pink headband square in the jaw. Uncrossing her tautly drawn arms, Hitomi countered the kick by chopping in back to the ground. Sensing the raven haired girl crouched down next to her, Hitomi lashed out in a roundhouse kick, intending to hit the Materia wielding enemy as she sprang from her balled up tangle of limbs. Catching the martial artist's baring foot in the corner of her earthy eyes; Tifa felt the rush of air blow over her head like a furious storm. Pouncing upon the brunette once her foot stomped back menacingly to the ground, Tifa swiped at her opponent's head, only to be countered with a cutthroat jab in the gut.
Backing away with a sharp hiss through gritted teeth, Tifa's crimson crystalline orbs caught the blind girl in a dumb stumble. Seeing her chance to seize the upper hand, the black clad girl viciously swung a balled up fist at the ink splattered girl, craving to sink her leather gloved knuckles right through her creamy flesh. She could taste it on her tongue, as sour as a mouthful of pennies. She wanted her rich, scarlet blood to spill. After all she and her freakshow ninja friends had put her through, Tifa wasn't going to stand for it. It ended now.
The raven haired girl was clearly shocked at the rate the brunette was able to regain her composure. Hitomi thrust the black gloved hand away from her, along with the rest of the girl.
She sent a vicious jab at the brunnete.
Blocked.
A twisting kick sliced the air.
Blocked.
Her other leg followed, combat boot aiming to strike, narrowly missing the jean clad girl's slim gut. Her fist shot out with serpent's tongue speed, only to cut through the sweltering air as Hitomi ducked for cover.
Tifa's leg sliced at the pink headband wearing girl's head from her crouched form behind her, frustratingly aiming to stomp the imprint of her shoe on the girl's face. Following her sweep with a vicious punch, Tifa was blocked with the red gloved hand of the half-German. Clasping her leather studded hand firmly around the raven haired girl's fist, Hitomi twisted her body around so she was angling underneath the girl's bending arm, slamming a chop into her side, and twisting ever farther around. Tifa winced in agony, the strained tissue of her screwing arm screaming in splintering misery. She felt like her arm would break in half, or at least shatter into piercing shards like glass. Just as the torture began, nothing mounted up to when her screaming elbow was cut-in with an agonizing blow.
A brilliant emerald lit the grime splattered features of Hitomi's beautiful face, an orb of Materia seeping from the raven haired girl's twisted skin.
Horror throbbed through Tifa's veins, the loss of the glowing projectile infuriating her. Realizing just what this brunette was capable of, she tried to wrench herself away from the blind girl. Sensing the onyx eyed fighter retreating, Hitomi grabbed at her thin waist, only to back away from her ruthless fist that she felt speared the place where she knew her head had been moments ago. Not backing down, Hitomi kicked the girl square in the chest, sending her flying across the floor. The pulsating energy of full-blooded Japanese's Materia radiated from where it hovered, alerting the brunette's senses to hyperdrive. Grasping the jade orb with her scarlet gloved hand, the karate expert felt its pure, rich power flood her pounding veins, glowing within her.
She was fully alive, driven with a raving thirst for victory.

[Unabound Justice]

"Come on! Pull it together out there!" Thalia called as she got a good view of her edvesaries and clutched her head, eyes wide as she doubled over with a hiss. Before she could stop them, tears were streaming from her wide maroon eyes. They...had been there. At her village when it was destroyed. Without another word, she threw her gun to the ground and lept in, viscious rage driving her into Kazumi visciously. "You!" she hissed, "You cause it!"

"Thalia!" Cloud cried as the composed girl snapped.

[Cali]

Tifa turned at this with a loud yell of her name before growling lowly, turning her gaze to Hitomi. The battle continued with a vengeance, Tifa throwing punches and Hitomi blocking them.
Ferocious zaps of thunder sprang from her fingertips that wanted to wring out her opponents' neck. The wild strikes of scorching rage, however, were muffled out. Hitomi encircled her fingers around the raven haired girl's knuckles like an unforgiving vice, yanking the limb behind her back as Hitomi dashed behind her startled form. Executing a tick-throw flawlessly, Hitomi slammed the girl's weary body on the hard earth, slamming her knee into the girl's midnight clothed side.
A gasp of agony fled Tifa's lips as she rolled over in smarting pain, narrowly missing bashing into the stone pillar beside her. An eerie glow of magenta flew from her body, the orb of Materia bouncing off the pillar and right into her rival's powerful fist. A newfound strength shot through her body as Hitomi powered over the dark girl, skin radiating with magenta vigor.
Not giving up just yet, Tifa, swept her feet at the brunette, slimly missing the jean clad shin of the karate expert. Sending a few more kicks to her enemy, the raven haired Materia wielding girl was met with a sharp chop in the gut. Smokey air flew from her gasping lungs as she stumbled back, only to receive a relentless torrent of uppercuts and facefulls of fist. Stinging pain screamed within her at every bruising chop and relentless blow. Her face was growing numb with hurt, arms and legs splitting open to ooze crimson blood. A salty trickle of scarlet splattered against Hitomi's raining fists, crushing into every part of that dark haired bitch that she could seize.
Tifa's cracking skull smashed against the stone pillar, scarlet tangling within her crown of raven colored hair. Her cries of shrieking pain were cut short as Hitomi's bloodied knuckles pierced her jaw, scraping her cheeks raw, bloodying her screaming pores as orbs of brilliant Materia flew from her as if she was a piñata. For a mere moment, Tifa nearly gave in to the horrible, staggering pain…She could just end it there…
No!
Ducking to dodge Hitomi's last, ruthless punch, the brunette's unyielding fist slammed into the harsh concrete. Splintering cracks embedded in the blood splattered pillar.
Whipping around, Tifa felt her heart throb in horror at the sight of all her Materia on the ground…their magnificent, lively glow long since dead.
Tifa was caught unawares once Hitomi launched her final, most painfully agonizing blow right into the middle of her spine. With a crack, a burst of shimmering light shot from her bloodied body, the last of her power drained. She was flying…soaring through the air like a bird…mangled flesh searing in nipping pain, stinging flames engulfing her body.
It was so painful…she wanted it to end…she wanted it to end…she wanted it all to go away…
Just when she though Death was creeping from the farthest sane corners of her mind, a contrast of icy snow coated her body on impact, crisp white tingeing blood red. The air was clean, the burns only numbed her… She was alive.
Forcing herself to stand, Tifa cast an unsure glance at the burning citadel, crimson blood dripping onto the frigid ground, beading off her lacerated body like sweat. She didn't know how much more she could take.

[Unabound Justice]

Thalia and Kazumi stood parallele, though in much better condition, "Tifa, how are you faring?" she called through the flames, hearing nothing as she lept at her, a small knife in hand.
{Insert epic fight scene for Thalia and Kazumi which I'm too tired to write here}

[Cali]

Tifa pressed a hand to her bleeding side, limping as drops of crimson fell onto the snow covered ground. Her breaths were being forced out, her eyes half-lidded with pain.
And then, Hitomi, Kasumi and Ayane just vanished with Yuna and Rikku.
The bar-maiden swayed, her vision blurring as she heard the sound of her name.

[Unabound Justice]

(I'm gonna go to bed before I black out, okay sweetie? I promise to talk to you tomorrow. Right now, I'm nearly blind I'm so woozy)

Thalia hissed as the girl vanished, "No!" she screamed, cheeks tearstained as she heart the older raveness' name and looked up and raced over to her as the flames slowly died down, "Tifa!"

[Cali]

The raveness could barely keep her eyes open. The blood was flowing freely, soaking thin material ad creamy flesh marred with bruises and scrapes. She staggered forward again, gasping out as the pool of blood forming beneath her grew larger. The crimson was a beautifully dark contrast to the whiteness of the snow.
She looked up, whispered out Cloud's name, and fell forward as her eyes slipped shut.

[Unabound Justice]

Cloud raced over in time o catch her, but just barely. He cradled her to him, not concerned wih the blood staining his clothes and matting his hair. He stared down at her with wide eyes, worry pumping through him mercilessly.

[Cali]

Her body was limp in his, her eyes shut as her lips formed an all too neutral slant with a slight pout to them. Her head was tilted back, blood dripping off slowly as it soaked Cloud's navy blue vest. Her chest barely had a rise and fall, her eyelashes no longer having its usual barely noticible flutter.

[Unabound Justice]

Cloud said nothing as he hid his panic behind a mask of firmness, stroking her cheek as he struggled to his feet slowly, looking to Denzel then to the shaking Thalia. It seemed both women were in sever trouble at the moment.

[Cali]

Denzel wrapped his arm around Thalia's shoulders while looking at Tifa worriedly, "I-Is...I-Is she...?"

[Unabound Justice]

Thalia made no move into the comfort, but didn't move away either, eyes looking hollow.

Cloud shook his head softly as he gazed back down at Tifa, crystaline eyes sad, "Not yet, but just barely.." he answered softly.

[Cali]

Denzel gulped, eyes wide.
"Guys!!" a loud female yelled, racing towards them. "OhMyGod, Tifa!"
Denzel turned around to see Yuffie with wide teary eyes.

[Unabound Justice]

Cloud looked up as Thalia seemed to have retreated back into herself and stoically walked forward to examine the wounds as she had the night before. "I can heal them enough to save her life. If she wants to live or not is her choice, though."

[Cali]

Yuffie interjected, tears in her eyes. "Of course, Teef wants to live!"
A small and faint whimper escaped the Raveness.

[Unabound Justice]

Thalia was already working, holding up a finger to silence her, "We'll know within the hour..." she said eventually, getting to her feet.

[Cali]

Yuffie's eyes were wide and confused as she sat beside Cloud, watching Tifa worriedly.
"Cl-Cloud...What's happening..?"
