How to Get Killed By:
The Mechanical Guardian (Again)
Vincent had practically felt exhausted by the time they got through the grunts and were watching the Huge Materia stream towards the big red sub which Vincent was pretty sure would stand out in any place without much hassle. Trust Shinra to have a design department who wanted things to stand out as impressive and dangerous looking. Tifa and Cloud were obviously worried, taught up with emotion but that didn't bother Vincent to much. He was much more concerned about the mechanical beast that was trooping around behind the Turk who looked like a little scruff bag in his opinion. He had seen many loaders before but this was something different and with a vicious air about it. Before he could warn the others, Reno had buggered off and the dratted thing was in full swing with its attacks.
Snarling, Vincent immediately targeted the spinning arms, knowing that they had to get rid of those before any real damage could be done to the rest of the creature. Luckily the others had picked up on this as well and Tifa was sending whatever she could towards the arms whilst Cloud was beginning to summon to ensure that the thing crashed and burned. The fight was definitely going well; both arms had been removed successfully, with only Cloud receiving a rather nasty wound to the head after he had been scooped up and smashed against the side of thing before being dropped at the first attack that had landed home on the spinning arm. Tifa was healing well enough and Vincent was too preoccupied to realise that he was still wearing the reflect ring which probably wasn't the best thing in the world.
Suddenly there was a yell and Tifa fell to the ground, the still blue glow of the Lapis Laser fading out. Feeling an all too familiar rage boiling up in his heart, Vincent unleashed Hellmasker to destroy the beast and Cloud attempted another summon but was suddenly floored by an unexpected attack from the armless monster. Hellmasker could hear Vincent yelling in his head and set about trying to send little pieces of metal flying around the whole docking bay. It worked for about five minuets, until the thing started unleashing that damned lazar.
What felt like an eternity later, Vincent opened his eyes and found himself floating in the soft embrace of the Life Stream.
Lesson to be learned: Sort out what the hell you're going to do and faff on with the equipment – definitely getting rid of that flaming reflect ring
