Tifa ran out of the room reluctantly as she heard the fight continue between her friend and the insane women. She found a dog like human in the children;s room baring it's fangs above Said boys head when she striked swiftly knocking it into the dresser making a picture frame and chobo toy fall off. Both children woke with a start and stared at Tofa then the dog thng.

"come on!" she ordered both followed her into the hall where she faught more troops headed up the stairs kicking them back down in a domino effect.

The children stayed close weary of the situation when they heard a crash from behind. the three looked back down the hall where Cloud had just crashed into the wall. He grunted dodging out of the way as red glowing arrows shot out of the room into the wall he sat moments ago. He jumped over to them picked up both children and Tifa led them down the stairs and into the bar area.

"running away?" he spun around and there Rosso stood smiling quite sadisticly it reminded him of how hojo looked when he was cutting into him with scalpels and he sneered a warning.

She laughed at the attempt of a warning and smiled wider.

"go away!" Marlene yelled from his arms, he placed both children down and the two fighters circled like wolves ready to punce each other.

Tifa watched for a moment before studying Rosso, Cloud wasn't good at hand-to-hand like she was no matter how poweful a single punch of his was he wasn't good at it. He seemed to be looking around for something as they circled, Tsurugi.

She ran out of the room and into the garage she could hear that the fight began at the noise she made and the chidren were yelling out things at Rosso. She clambered to Fenrir and scanned the surface for a button, she remembers him showing to her that opened the side compartments. When she finally found it she let the sides open and pulled at one of the several pieces of the fusion blade whne it slid out the weight made it crumple to the ground. She cursed it silently and picked it up as best she could running back into the bar. Cloud was losing the fight and he seemed to be very, VERY angry.

"Cloud!" his atteni=tion went to the barmaiden and he caught the handle of tsurugi, smiling triumphantly he turned back To the red haired women. They began to fight again this time The swordman was winning quite well now that he had the weapon.

Rosso backed away after a cut formed into her shoulder she eyed it and then the one who caused it, "hm, seems this will be fun after all." she inquired, Cloud glared at her and set the blade into a position behind him.

Energy fromed into it and he swung at her from the distance a beam of blue energy raced at her and crashed into the door. there was coughing as smoke and dust filled the room.

"interesting indeed, perhaps Vincent Valentine won't be the only Prey I find worthy to hunt. We will meet again Cloud Strife" when the smoke cleared she was gone, he stared at the spot she was moments ago.

"what was that" a voice whispered from his shoulder, he glaced back at Tifa who now leaned her head on his back. The kids were frozen where they were, he waited for Tifa's breathing to calm before moving away and kneeling infront of both children.

They looked at him before jumping on him hugging.

"shhh" he murmured to them returning the hug slowly.

When they two calmed down he stood back up both still cliging to his waist then he turned to his friend.

"I need to phone Vincent"
