Red Equals Passionate

Bloodburst
Sounds of gunfire pierced the silence as two figures fought under a starlit sky.
That Genesis Rhapsodos had dodged or deflected all the bullets was not going to stop her from trying to defeat him. Rosso looked down at Genesis from where she stood. If not for the red coat she would have a hard time discerning him among the ruins. Smiling she reasserted her grip on the bow-blade, and dived.
The air whistled as she fell, her body positioned so that she was aiming right towards Genesis. Rosso gripped her weapon with both hands, a pinkish blurring light surrounding her body as she began spinning.
She was still spinning when she made impact causing a small crater where she landed, debris flying up and in all directions. Genesis just barely avoided the actual blow but still got hit by flying debris.
Quickly recovering from the blow, the ex-SOLDIER squinted through the thick cloud of dust Rosso's attack had stirred up. Briefly he thought he saw faint red light in the depths of the cloud but it was gone the moment Genesis tried to get a closer look.
Then out of nowhere, they appeared, barely giving him time to block both attacks with his rapier.
At first, he thought they were copies.
They were the mirror image of Rosso; from the crimson-hued garment that was her Deepground uniform to the smirk she favored to adorn her face over her smile. Speaking for himself, Genesis loved it; it was a smile that contained the same degree of mystery as LOVELESS to him, and that was saying something.
They could be copies, meaning that even though he could no longer make others into mirror images of himself, that ability had passed on to her all the same. They seemed solid enough, and moved with deadly grace. They could pass off for copies if not for the fact that they were armed with Rosso's bow-blade.
Even though it felt like rapier was an extension of himself whenever he fought, it was only an inanimate object he had acquired during his SOLDIER career. Genesis had stolen weapons and equipment from Shinra to provide them with a means of self-defense.
The ex-SOLDIER's stream of thought was cut off at that moment as he noticed the Firaga spell coming his way, along with the real Rosso jumping into the air from her hiding place and shooting not at Genesis, but the Firaga.
The collision of bullet and spell caused the large fiery sphere to scatter into multiple fireballs, several of their number striking Genesis as he attempted to fight off the copies and Rosso herself, who had rejoined the fray upon shooting the spell.
It was only a matter of time before the Crimson Tsviet won today's game.
A/N: My attempt at explaining the workings of Rosso's Bloodburst. I think I did alright, considering that descriptions for it are quite lacking and I only had the Rosso-Azul-Weiss battle cutscene from DoC online to rely on. The PoV switches from Rosso to Genesis to Rosso again. The comment about Rosso's smile is supposed to imply that Genesis got momentarily sidetracked in his thoughts. And as a little extra, there's also the description of that awesome skydiving spin Rosso does in the Midgar Assault cutscene.
