A/N: So, yeah, this is just a short little scene that I felt like fiddling with. Lemme know what you think of it!
"Damn!" Baralai swore as he realized he had just run out of ammunition. "Gippal! Ammo!" he shouted over the deafening racket of a firefight. "I'm out!" he called back. The two looked to Nooj, not knowing what to do. Nooj just shrugged his shoulders, threw down his empty machina gun, and began to stride towards an approaching Dual Horn. "Nooj!" Baralai shouted in disbelief. Gippal could only stare as the determined and dangerous Nooj unsheathed a malicious looking dagger. He charged at the fiend in a sudden burst of movement, embedding the blade deep into the creature's side.
It howled in agony before dissipating into a mist of pyreflies. Nooj wiped his brow as he turned to face his companions, a victorious smirk on his face. Gippal applauded. "Fuf, syh, hela cgemmc," ::Wow, man, nice skills:: he slurred, but with obvious affection and gratitude in his voice. Nooj needed only his tone of voice to understand, and he gave a small acknowledging nod.
"We've got to get back to the base. Ready?" Baralai addressed the two, preparing himself for a mad sprint to the next protective rock structure. "After you, 'Lai," Gippal spoke sarcastically. With a grunt, Baralai shot away from them, a white streak flashing by before he reached cover. One hand rested on his heaving chest, the other beckoned for them to follow.
"Nooj…" Gippal spoke softly. "I'll be fine," Nooj admonished. His body having been half replaced with machina, Gippal worried if his friend would make it across. But his fears were appeased as he watched Nooj sprint rather skillfully to meet Baralai. "Mega E cyet, dra kio'c kud cgemmc," ::Like I said, the guy's got skills:: Gippal laughed to himself before tearing off after them.
