Mission 3 : [Video]

[argentimperator]

[The PCD is not picking up Sephiroth very well because he's holding it in one hand and moving a lot, but there are flashes of leather, silver hair, and steel. Mostly, what the PCD is picking up is the absolute devastation around him. Sephiroth is out in one of the more urban areas of the Wastelands, and he is destroying it. The mangled corpse of a horned worm is briefly visible as Sephiroth leaps into the air.

There's a quick series of slashes, visible as flickering steel in the feed, but more revealed by the arcs of blue-white light that result, cutting through a building and sending it crashing apart in pieces.]

This is unsatisfactory. Is there anyone willing to spar with me? In the interest of full disclosure, I am capable as both swordsman and magic user, and I am not in the best of moods.

KYAH!

[Geez, nothing like going hard on her. But she trusts Sephiroth won't actually try to hurt her. She throws her arms up in front of her to take the brunt of the blast. The uniform starts to show signs of wear.]

[This isn't going hard on her. Tossing about eight or nine of the things at her? THAT might be going hard on her. One isn't really that hard to dodge for someone with the sense Gaia gave a hamster, Usagi. He's starting to think of this as training more than a spar, though.]

Usagi. Dodge. Blocking when you could dodge is only wise if you have something other than yourself to block with. [Look out, there goes another green orb lighting up.]

Firaga. [Three fireballs coming your way.]

[The trouble is she's not thinking of it as more than a friendly exercise. Her strength doesn't tend to come out normally. On the other hand, she still has senshi speed and reflexes - which let her dodge just as he said.]

[He's starting to suspect something like that, honestly. There's no way this is the best she's capable of. Sephiroth switches spells again.]

Blizzaga. You're not giving this your all, Usagi.

But, this is just for practice, right? So...

[So it's hard for her to really get serious.]

The point of practice is to hone your skills for when they're needed. If you're not serious about it, you won't get much out of it.

[He wasn't usually all that serious about practice anymore, but that was mostly because he had very few sparring partners that could hold up if he was. It was kind of disappointing.]

[She nods firmly.]

Alright then.

[Once she moves herself into gear, she turns out to be fast.]

[Offline] Ugh, being sick bites.

[Now that is more like it. A barely visible flicker of satisfaction crosses Sephiroth's face as he launches himself after her. He's more than just a little fast himself. Masamune is coming back into play now, though when he strikes at her leg, it's with the back, blunt curve of the blade.]

[She actually grins as she starts to get into it.]

You're really fast! But so am I!
