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

[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*

[Zack bounced with urgency where he was, trying in vain to be good for Angeal and stay put but he couldn't help the feelings that came over him, just as they always did when he watched his hero fight. Fright that something would happen to his mentor accompanied by warm feelings that pooled in his belly, making his cheeks flush.]

A-Angeal... [he whispered softly as he watched in wonder.]

[Sephiroth smiled as he watched Genesis spar against Angeal. It was an impressive sight. Genesis thought he was so good at sparring. Angeal was a strong man who could weild a large blade and deliver a strong blow.]

Had enough yet, Genesis?

No you honor me Genesis. I must say your Firaga attacks are very powerfull.

[That last attack from Genesis made Angeal smile. Trust his best friend to be always trying to be the best at beating him and Sephiroth. He quickly parried the blow and counter attacked with a swing blow to Genesis head]

[However just as he went to strike he heard Zack with his enhanced hearing, distracted his blow missed its mark and missed Genesis’s shoulder and he instantly looked round at Zack]

[Knowing he had been lucky that Angeal was so attuned to Zack's every breath, Genesis laughed melodiously.]

That is precious, Angeal. How much your little puppy adores you.

[He still felt himself glowing from Angeal's praise and the knowledge of Sephiroth waiting for him back there. Sadly, he'd only ever figured out how to channel his desires for the silver haired man into his passion in battle.

Little did Genesis know that he really couldn't fight either of these two beyond a standstill. It was just a lesson sadly that someone of his genius in all other areas would never learn.]

Hunngh!!! [was his battlecry as he leapt into the air once more, summoning a flurry of fire that rained down all around them and two great clangs of his beloved Rapier, one harsh and metallic as it hit Angeal's sword, the other music to his ears as he connected with Masamune.]

Stop it, Genesis!! You're not gonna win!!

[Zack cried from the sidelines but he squirmed where he stood, very much afraid that his mentor would be hurt by the redhead's spastic antics if nothing else.]

[Sephiroth smirked as one of Gen's fireballs connected with the metal blade of Masamune. He smirked and locked his eyes onto Genesis. He was going for the red head and no one else. He launched high into the sky and span around once. Holding Masamune in front of him, he began a straight dive down towards the red head.]

What the?...

[Angeal grumbled to himself that was close. He couldn’t believe that he got distracted like that in a fight. After snapping himself out of his earlier thinking spree he blocked Genesis blade with his own making the blades sing]

[Looking quickly behind him he spotted Sephiroth coming in fast. He threw himself at Genesis out of the path of the General and jumped down to the floor near Zack]

Really Genesis. We all know how much you adore Sephiroth. [He said with a sly grin]

[Genesis blushed from where he had been knocked backward, his eyes darting first from his best friend's mischievous look to the interested eyes of the Silver General.]

That is... no lie...

[His stamina was beginning to falter though his health reserves were good, tiring himself out from all his dramatics but honestly, he knew he would have it no other way. His magic reserves were getting low and the fight would be over soon... Might as well go out with a bang...]

Come and get me, boys.

[He said cheekily, his aura swelling and fists rising on either side of him into the air, fireballs blazing from each hand.]

[Zack yelped from where he was, toe inside the arena boundaries as he stepped closer to Angeal automatically.]

Get him, Angeal, cut his ass!!!

[Come and get me boys? Is that the best line Gen could come up with? Sephiroth just smirked.]

Hmph. As you wish... [He cut through the air with Masamune, disspating the fireballs around him. Gen was going full out with the Firaga. Always the show man, Sephiroth thought. The general cut towards Gen using Octaslash once more. His signature move didn't fail as he aimed to bite into the red blade in Genesis's hand.]

Zack watch your language. [He reprimanded, giving his a pointed look. However it soon turned into a soft small smile as he put his hand on the younger man’s shoulders in comfort]

How about some training puppy? I think Genesis is running out of steam. If I can get him on the ground we can attack him together. But you need to listen to me alright?

[He trusted Genesis enough that things won’t go to far with the puppy involved. He watched as the remaining firsts still went out at each other]

Gah!!

[Genesis gasped as Masamune clipped Rapier in a sharp and swift slice. He realized then just how fortunate he was that they were not aiming for parts of the body.]

Quite the tiger, aren't we?

[He lunged, smirking back at Seph in a counterstrike of 2 hits, moving forward in a subconscious attempt to get closer to the Angel, but bringing all his proud passion with him, gloating a little with each blow.]

[Zack bounced in unmasked glee at the prospect of fighting alongside his mentor.]

Yeah!! Let's do it!! What do you want me to do, Angeal? Just say the word and I'm there!

[Sephiroth smiked and parried each of Gen's blows with his red blade. He was strong in his sword arm but not strong enough.]

I thought we were getting warmed up. [He closed his eyes for an instant before running towards Genesis, then spinning around the aiming Masamune at his shoulder blade.]

[Angeal smiled. Zack’s enthusiasm always seems to be infectious sometimes, not that he would admit that of course.]

Good. I’ll get Genesis on the ground. I want you to get behind him and aim for his back, don’t worry I’ll cover for you but you need to watch out for his fire attacks ok?

[With that he leapt into the air once again dodging both blows from the other firsts, he quickly grabbed Genesis’s arm and pulls him down towards Zack]

[Feeling Angeal pulling him down, Genesis calmly took stock of his reserves before he struggled. He had an Ether, but pride alone prevented him from taking it. He needed a rest and he was far too headstrong to declare it.]

Hero of the Dawn, healer of worlds...

[It was more a personal peptalk to himself than to the others. Sephiroth came at him hard and fast, just as the redhead expected, just as he had hoped the man would be in all respects.]

Yeeesss... Fuck, yes!!

[He countered with everything he had, appreciating the melee practice, conserving his fire for now.]

The freedom of flight not appeal to you today, Angeal? [He asked cheerfully with the raised of an arched brow.]

Edited 2012-07-05 16:05 (UTC)

...Genesis said 'fuck'...

[With the redhead splitting his concentration between Sephiroth and Angeal, Zack saw his 'in,' eagerly slicing his SOLDIER-issue blade toward Gen's back as his teacher had instructed.

Genesis leapt out of the way when he felt the blade cut the air near his hair and whirled around disorientedly, launching a fire ball in the boy's general direction.

Zack threw himself to the ground to lie on his belly, being narrowly missed by the flame due to his reflexes.]

Holy Shiva!!

[Hearing Genesis use strong language, Sephiroth could tell his friend was in his element. Excitement coarsed through the general's veins as he saw the fireball head towards the puppy's direction.

Smirking, he focused back on the red head as he launched another spinning attack in middair, Masamune a glint of the eye as he cut down at Gen's sword.]

Has enough yet, Genesis?

Yes it does appeal to me Genesis, but then it would be unfair to Zack.

[Angeal gave Genesis a glare that said no rude language in front of the puppy. However that scowl gave way to pride as he saw Zack make a good move towards Genesis’s back only to see him nearly singe his puppy. After giving Zack a quick glance and seeing he was alright he turned his attention back to Genesis]

Genesis! Be careful!

[Annoyed he blocked Genesis’s view of Zack and swung his blade at the annoying red head as Sephiroth also attacked]

[Attempting to deflect both blows the way Sephiroth often did was the first thing that came to mind. Genesis blocked vertically, catching one successfully but missing the other, the end near Masamune's tip proving to be too narrow for him to connect with.

A ripping of material was heard and he felt the sleeve of his coat torn away from its shoulder. At first, Genesis' eyes narrowed in irritation but then, a humored thought occurred to him and he simply had to share it.]

If you wanted to see me naked, Angel, this was certainly the way to go... that or a nice dinner maybe.

[He playfully clashed swords with the general again, before arcing Rapier to deliver a kiss to his agitated best friends' blade.]

There, there, Angeal. You are alright, aren't you, Pup?

[Zack pulled himself to his feet before scratching his head.]

Think so...

[After assessing the lack of damage, he stood beside Angeal in battlestance.]

I'm here to help take you down!

[Trust Genesis to utter those words. And in front of Angeal and Zack too. Sephiroth smiled to himself.]

Always the showman, Genesis. [Sephiroth delivered a flurry of quick sword movement aimed towards Genesis in an arching motion. His left hand was deadly as he matched each swish of his blade with eye contact.]

Genesis... really?

[He pushed against Genesis blade and dodged as Sephiroth came in fast. Without thinking for himself he shoved Genesis out of the way of the blade before it did more than rip his clothes. He suppressed a wince as Sephiroth’s blade cut his arm as he went to the side.]

Nice move. Really Genesis you shouldn’t tempt him like that. Puppy are you ok?
