dear_mun | Ready for a fight. Mun, room please.

[Genesis feigned affront, lifting a scarlet-gloved hand to cover his ruby lips... but not for long because he did want Sephiroth to enjoy them.]

Someone here simply doesn't appreciate fine literature. It is truly the most poignant piece of theatre since the Golden Age of the Goddess. It is my duty to make certain that it is brought to the masses. [Azure eyes flickered over to Zack on the word 'masses.']

[His hand found the hilt of Rapier at his hip, drawing it forth and brandishing it proudly. He would never pass up a chance to prove his mettle as a warrior.]

[scratched his head with a puzzled look]

Wha-...? I'm not massive

[starts doing squats next to Angeal.]

[At last. Genesis unsheathed his sword just as Sephiroth unsheathed Masamunue. The sun glinted off the long, steel blade as he smirked.] Ready for battle, Genesis?

[He shot a sideways glance to Angeal. Was he there to fight or to intervene if they got too agressive?]

Let's see what you're made of, pretty boy. [He launched himself at the red head at full speed, brandishing Masamune towards him.]

[Angeal patted Zack’s shoulder in comfort, and gently pushed him away from the others as he turned to his friends, but still looked at Zack over his shoulder. He drew his Standard SOLDIER sword]

Zack stay back and watch. I don’t want you injured.

[He sighed to himself yet again but jumped forward in front of Genesis blocking the blow from Masamune ]

Mind if I join in?

By all means, Angeal, if you think you can keep up, love.

[Of course, Genesis knew that Angeal was every bit as skilled as he was, if not moreso. However, the latter point would be a bit harder to get him to admit. The redhead simply could not resist yanking his best friend's chain at every opportunity. Angeal was among other things, the best of sports to put up with the redhead's antics. The fact that Angeal had just saved Genesis' hide yet again had conveniently escaped His Highness' attention.

Igniting the runes along Rapier's blade, Genesis' eyes blazed as he looked at his comrades, a thrill spiking through him.]

This should be fun. *smirk*

[Zack backed up a few steps to keep well away from the fray. His commanding officer's broad shoulders caught his attention and of course, he could not miss the grand hilt of the Buster Sword sticking upward from behind Angeal's raven head.

Going back to his favorite stand-around activity, Zack began to bend deeply into his squats.]

Ugh... Ungh... Hey, Angeal? When can I play?

Yes, it should, love. [He imitated Genesis's voice playfully. How he loved to tease the red head.

Sephiroth went to block Genesis's move as he knew the red head liked to charge into battle, all guns blazing. The runes on his sword usually meant that fire accompanied his attack. Sephiroth span around once then used his blade to perform an upper-cut on Genesis.]

I think it’s you that can’t keep up Genesis.

[Angeal smiled slightly at that. He knew full well that Genesis was a very powerful fighter, and when being against Sephiroth he was full bent on beating him. He quickly
dodged round the pair and behind Sephiroth, and without pausing he swept his blade towards the generals back. He shouted at Zack over the sound of clashing blades]

Puppy you stay where you are, it’s too dangerous!

Oooh... [Genesis hummed, smirking back at them both in satisfaction. Anyone who might watch him would perhaps find it a little strange but snark seemed to be a strange motivator for Genesis, perhaps one could even call it an aphrodesiac of sorts. Angeal seemed to be aware of this too since they had known each other for so long. If nothing else, Genesis was the child who could never turn down a dare.]

Angeal, you do say the sweetest things. I send you my love, Sephiroth.

[The Silver General had indeed been correct. Genesis fired a volley of fire toward his icy prince, following close behind it silently, sword poised in front of him as he advanced and an excited grin on his face.]

Ungh... Ungh... Uhhh... Ohhh...

[Zack could not help but bound out of his latest squat to run along the sidelines, peering around at Angeal's face nervously before he glanced over at the flash of red speedily gaining on silver, Sephiroth looking unbothered as always.]

[At the corner of his eye he noticed the puppy running around to get a better look. Hmph. He knew Zack had a deep attachment to Angeal, without him, he'd be lost. He felt the heat of Genesis's Firaga Materia eminating from his red blade. He parried the fireballs with the flat of his sword and smirked. So cocky.]

Is that the best you can do?

[As soon as he saw Zack running round the side Angeal felt shocked and angry. Why didn’t he ever listen to him? His concern for him increased when he saw Genesis used his Firaga Materia on Sephiroth. Cornered that they might hit Zack he jumped back from where his attack was going to hit and jumped over to where the puppy was watching. Without saying anything he grabbed him and pushed him behind his back so he wouldn’t get hit by anything as Sephiroth deflected them. He looked over at his puppy over his shoulder, concern in his eyes]

Didn’t I tell you to stay put? What do you think you’re doing?

Well, I can always give you more. How cruelly you discard my love, general. I must make my interest more... unmistakeable then.

[Raising an open palm to the sky dramatically in front of him, Genesis summoned three orbs of flame before pulling his arm back slowly, as if they were breakable love tokens. Gathering his momentum, the redhead unleashed them in Sephiroth's direction, two of the three attacking from either side and the final one straight up the middle, growing in size as it approached.]

[Zack's body leaned into his mentor's back absently.]

Yah... but... but... Angeal... I've stayed all the way over here. Kept my distance just like you said!

[He smiled up at the dark First with much self-satisfaction.]

More? Give me all you want. I can take it. [Was that flirting in his voice? Possibly. He smirked before unleashing his famous Octaslash combo on Genesis. His sword cut through the air faster than the speed of the human eye as he came face to face with the red head. Inches from his body, he grabbed Gen's arm and pushed himself agains the other man.]

You are no match for me. [He had a teasing glint in his eye before pushing Gen from him.]

[Angeal sighed and looked at Zack with a warm smile. He ruffled the younger mans hair fondly]

Even so it was still dangerous. What am I going to do with you pup?

[With one hand still on his sword and the other in his puppy’s hair. His attention went back to the fight; he wanted to join in so the other two wouldn’t injure each other when they started fighting full out. But he was concerned that even though Zack was a good swordsman going against two firsts would be crazy]

Genesis, Sephiroth turn it down, I don’t want any of you injured.

[Genesis' eyebrows knitted and he moaned softly from those eyes on him, from the closeness, belatedly disguising it as a small cough.]

We'll see.

[A clash of Rapier against silver steel and Masamune's song rang out, some of the most beautiful music in the world to Genesis and he leapt up into the air for the thrill of the dance, bringing his blade down hard against her again before blasting a wall of fire in Sephiroth's path that sent him flying backward with the the momentum, Genesis grinning all the way.]

He's... not list'nin. Genesis, Angeal's talkin' to you!!

[The redhead was crazed, caught up in his own sort of strange mating dance.]

Angeal... maybe you should go get him... I'll stay right here.

[Determined, Zack mock-glued his feet to the ground before awkwardly nuzzling Angeal's shoulder blade.

[It was true. Genesis wasn't listening to either Angeal or Zack. He was caught up with Sephiroth. The silver-haired general smirked when the red head's attack descended on him. He used Curaga to dissapate any effects the Firaga would have had on him.

His eyes were ablaze with renewed energy as launched another attack at Genesis. He launched himself into the air and used his momentum to fly towards the red head with Masamune cutting through the air at full speed.]

They never seem to listen, just like a certain puppy. Nevermind.

[Angeal knew that if they kept this up the whole place would either end up on fire by Genesis or cut into pieces by Sephiroth. Really why it was always him stuck between the two. He looked down to Zack and gave him a warm smile, and ruffled his hair once again at his puppy’s nuzzling, just like a really puppy he thought to himself.]

[He looked back up to the fight, he knew from experience that Zack wasn’t going to stay there but decided that someone needed to do something about the battle. Focusing now on the battle Angeal ran and leapt into the air where the two were fighting and used his smaller blade to block Masamune. Even with his strength the power Sephiroth was using pushed him back quite a bit, making him wince]

Really I can’t leave you two alone for a second. Your going to end up destroying everything as usual.

Truer words were never spoken.

[Genesis became aware of their surroundings, admiring the flames coiling over the broken pits of pavement lacing the arena.]

It is quite beautiful actually...

When the war of the beasts bring the world's end
The goddess descends from the sky

We only pave the way for Her, do we not?

]Hearing the familiar stanza, Zack smacked his face with his gloved hand.]

Ee-ewww!

[Sephiroth smiled at the puppy's response. He rolled his eyes at Genesis's comments on Loveless before coming around for another slash at Genesis in middair.]

[After realising that his hits weren’t hitting Sephiroth, he changed tactics. With a sweeping motion he swings his blade in an arc towards Genesis, putting his weight behind the blade. Maybe if he could distract him enough he could stop with the quoting already]

Well at least we partly agree on something.

[Astonished, Genesis' wing almost came out in front of the puppy as he jumped backwards out of harm's way... which would have been a bit awkward as well as embarrassing. The redhead only wanted to reveal such plot twists precisely when he meant to and not a moment sooner. He wasn't even certain if Zack knew about this particular characteristic of the most esteemed of the 1st Classes, as it seemed to only be something reserved for the three of them present...]

I...

[Angeal was actually choosing him as the primary force in this spar?

...Yes, of course! And why not him?

Puffing up a bit, his ego feeling very good, Genesis rushed toward his best friend, slamming Rapier against the practice sword with all his passion, wanting to give Angeal a good time.]

You honor me, Angeal. Sephiroth, darling, you're next. *radiant smile*
