The monsters pale violet skin worn from previous battles glistened with fresh blood; whether it was bleeding or if it was from a fresh kill was unsure, its mustard yellow mane matted with mud and even more blood. The monster raised its head high and let out a roar that made the ruins shake. It locked its emerald green eyes onto the Turks and the lone girl.

"For the love of Shiva…" Rude said, cracking his knuckles preparing for the oncoming fight.

"The hell does this midget want?" Shouted is spiky red-headed companion, pulling out his new standard issue shock baton. The young woman backed up to give her guardians room to fight, her crimson eyes taking in the scene.

Reno jumped back as the Behemoth raised it's large claw. He held up his hand to the beast.
"Cool your jets yo! Slowaga!"
A sea-green materia lit up, glowing from a bracer on his wrist. As the monstrous claw came just above Rude's head a golden clock's face encircled the Behemoth. Rude stepped out of the way of the claw, debris rising as it crashes into the ground, the dust floating up onto Reno's suit.

He stared up at the monster. "Oh come on!" He shouted up at it.

Rude whipped off his sunglasses and rushed towards the crater that the claw had made, jumping onto the back of the monsters hand. "I see an opening!"

He rushed up the monsters muscular arm; weaving under it's claw as it tried to swipe him off. Once he reached the shoulder of the monster, he leaned back and cocked his arm. In one swift powerful movement, Rude forced his fist into the monsters jaw; the sickening crack that followed after it echoed throughout the ruins. From the sheer power of the punch, his shirt started to tear. He cocked back his other fist, crunching it into the Behemoths face, snapping the jaw out of place as blood splattered onto the ground.

The Behemoth wobbled back, Rude leapt off of the shoulder of the beast and landing a few feet away from Reno, a few scraps of his shirt floating around him.
"That thing is still standing?" October questioned; eyes wide with fear as the spell wore off.

"Heh, Shorty here has some good defense, right Rude?" Reno asked sarcastically to his partner, who just grunted angrily. The Behemoth slowly turned, its tail smashing into the bald man, sending him flying into a rock wall just behind October. A small, very basic pistol falling out of his jacket in front of her. The bald man had become knocked out; the girl looked at his gun, eyes suddenly going blank as she became lost in her locked memories.

A hazy figure standing over her saying something, but she couldn't hear what. The figure just sets a gun down on the ground, in front of the girl. A triple barreled pistol, gothic designs spiraling around it; a spiral, a line extending down it with lines crossing through it as it runs down the barrel. The only thing she could hear from the figures mouth was, "Be safe, October." Then the hazy figure disappeared from her sight.

Her eyes slowly regained the crimson color that they held; turning her head to look at the Behemoth whom the Slowaga materia finally wearing off. It's large claw hit Reno, sending him crashing into the ground that he stood on. He let out a cry, and then fell silent. Her body shook with pure rage at the sight of this. Her voice cracked the air like a whip, shrieking with such a high pitch that any of the remaining windows in the ruins shattered.

The Behemoth looked right at her, its eyes narrowing as the girl grabbed the materia she found earlier from her bag. He voice pierced the ear drums of the creature.
"Soul wrought of terra corrupt, AWAKEN!"
The silver materia burst into light as the pistol from her memories floats down to her. Snatching it up, she aimed it right at the beast, pure Mako energy flowing into the pistol's barrels.

The beast realized what she was trying to do, and started to back away from the area. To spark fear into a creature of this magnitude was a thrill that she seemed to enjoy. Finally she fired the collected energy into the beast's shoulder; blowing a hole into it, blood splattering against the pale walls of the ruins. The Mako energy burning the wound shut quickly; she fired another shot into the beast shoulder, causing more blood to splatter into the area, just to have the wound sealed shut again.

The gun started to flicker in and out of existence changing between the materia from and the gun form quickly. Panting she backed up, her eyes loosing the glorious shine that flowed with the gun; fear eating into her body as Reno slowly started to get himself back up. Rude stirred from his knocked out state, pushing himself up and pulling a pair of sunglasses out from his pocket; placing them back over his eyes.

"Well, this thing doesn't seem to be giving up, now does it?" Rude said rubbing his shoulder.
"Not by a long shot buddy." Reno said spitting blood out onto the ruins floor.
"Are we just going to let it kill us?" Rude uttered taking his pose back into place.
"Not on your life!" Reno shouted throwing his shock baton at the beast.

From above, October noticed a man wearing a red cape on top of one of the ruined buildings. His long black hair moving from his face, a red bandana on his forehead crossing over his eyebrows as he watches the battle. His vermillion eyes flow casually from the battle to her. He then leaps off the building, drawing out his Cerberus pistol. He unleashed a spray of bullets form his gun, each bullet arching off in its own direction, slowing to collect as a large mass, each focusing in on the Behemoth. They all slammed into the body of the beast at once, fur and flesh being thrown off into the ground.

As the last of the bullets crashed into the smoldering carcass of the dead beast, a small light protruded from it's mouth. Energy from inside the beast escaped, causing it to bloat and explode into a rain of seared chunks of meat, shrapnel of bone, and large pieces of fur. Landing next to were the beast stood, the man stood straight up and looked at Reno.

"Vincent?" Rude asked lowering his sunglasses to get a better look. Reno was in awe at the man's graceful and deadly assassination.

"What?" Was all Vincent said to the man, and then everything fell silent. October seemed to be staring into nothingness as the man proceeds to step closer.
