This was certainly an awkward situation to be in the middle of. This Masked Man was a completely mysterious character and if he had indeed manipulated Cloud into doing his bidding, then he must be a powerful opponent indeed. Not necessarily physically with weapons and attacks, but certainly with words and on the mental level. Pity that Cid was much too thick headed to be effected by such things, plus he was too thick headed to even care otherwise. What mattered was the problem of clearing out Cloud's head so he remembered who he was and have him come to the realization of the horror he had brought to the people of this world. This was definitely not what Cloud was supposed to be doing. He was a hero of the worlds, a hero of the Light. He fought for Cosmos to help end the war between Chaos and Harmony. What could this Masked Man have offered to turn Cloud into the opposite of what he fought for? Gil? Nah, Cloud didn't need it. Fame? Also no. He was famous enough throughout Gaia. An means to end the War between Light and Darkness? But at such a cost. Perhaps, but at such a cost that he'd join the enemy?
The scruffy pilot noticed that his words had hurt Cloud by the way he backed out of the glaring contest and turned his attention onto the floor. Good! He deserved it after what he has done to these people, and there was going to be plenty more where that came from off Barret. The girls, not so much apart from Yuffie and knowing Vincent, he'd have probably done exactly the same as Cloud had. Though when he turned his attention onto the Masked Man, his words seemed to bounce off him as the mysterious figure came back at him with his own rant. "Don't gimme tha' crap! Yer just said tha' bringin' a world tha' was either Light or Dark ta' neutral, corrupts it. An' correct me if I'm wrong, 'Mr. Masked Man', but ain't tha' exactly what ya' 'ave just done? This world is corrupted with this disease
[/i] yer 'ave brought ta' it!! How can yer say yer removin' this world from the war when ya' 'ave put it in such a miserable state such as this?! This ain't free! It's trapped under yer thumb!!"[/color] Cid didn't back down, even when the Masked Man revealed his weapon, the blonde-haired Captain instead stepped forwards towards the mysterious man to show how little an effect his weapon had on Cid's confidence. He didn't care if the entire world was against him. He would fight for what he believed in and what Cloud and Masked Man had done to this world, wasn't right. Though the strange sound of crackling energy broke Cid's attention on Masked Man and caused the pilot to glance over his shoulder towards his old buddy, watching as his eyes widened at the sight that fell before him. What the heck was he doing??! The pilot of The Shera was only just able to dive backwards as he kicked up two piles of sand from the scrambling of his feet. It was like he was trying to run on ice, though sure enough his feet caught solid ground and the scruffy man was able to jump backwards out the way of Blade Beam. Seeing as Cid was standing between Cloud and the Masked Man, he wondered if Cloud's attack would strike the man in the mask instead. Landed on his ass from his very amateurish backwards dodge, Cid scrambled to his feet and collected his Spear from nearby, glancing at his exposed forearms for any damage. Nothing was present, though there was a nice warm draft on one of his shins. Cid raised an eyebrow and glanced down at his feet, noticing half his right pant leg was missing from knee to foot. A nice slash was shown across Cid's shin but the pilot just grunted at it before turning his attention back onto Cloud. "Wha' in the *&^%in' depths of JENOVA's womb DO YA' THINK YER DOIN'??!?!?!!"Screamed the pilot as he stomped over towards Cloud. His face had turned deep red with utter anger at what his old friend had just attempted to do. What on Gaia was he thinking? Had he completely lost his mind and devoted himself entirely to Masked Man? This was insanity! But before he could continued to shout at the spiky blonde-haired man, Cid watched as he swung his massive sword about his head, giving himself a red aura as he went straight into his next attack. Cid however, had been at Cloud's side for many years now and this red aura was nothing new to him. As a result, the pilot halted his stomping and threw his head into the sky. "Night!! Eyes to the sky!!"Cid shouted out in warning as his bright blue eyes noticed the group of meteors plummeting down towards the courtyard the four warrior were standing in. Staying his ground, Cid watched and waited for the Meteors to get closer, before he suddenly flexed his knees and propelled himself high into the sky with Boost Jump[/b], rocketing over the deadly attack of his old friend and arching high through the air in a massive jump. Normally, he would direct his Spear downwards and attempt to skewer his enemy from above but seeing as he was facing Cloud, the scruffy pilot instead landed upon the huge walls that surrounded the palace courtyard and turned himself around to look down upon the ex-SOLDIER down below him. There was a much nicer wind up were. Less buildings for it to crash into and thus Cid smirked slightly as he took the chance to enjoy the feeling of the hot desert winds to embrace his body and dance through his hair. "So I'm assumin' tha' ya' don't give a sh*t about me or ya' friends anymore, Cloud? 'ave yer actually took a moment ta' LOOK at what ya' 'ave done ta' the people of this world? Go ahead, take a look at them and then ya' tell me if ya' honestly think they are 'free'!!"Cid shouted from his higher position as he pointed with his Spear out towards the city that was corrupted with whatever Masked Man had done to it. [/blockquote] -=Cooldowns=- Boost Jump[/b] - 1 Post. -- Every Dragoon worth his salt knows this simple skill. Cid can jump to amazing heights with his Jump ability, before plummeting down upon his enemy with incredible force and skewering them from above with his Spear.

The Keyblader's outcry to the Masked Man's statement before his rant to Cid made the man behind the Mask fed up with the child's ignorance, and the fact that Cid could even believe what the child was saying could possibly be true. "Believe what you want to believe, child." the Masked Man sneered to Night. "You've seen worlds when they attempt to balance themselves. This, this is a forced solution to make them neutral, something way above your understanding. Do not blind yourself by what you have already seen." The child at that point transformed before his very eyes, adapting into a sort of armor. A frown appeared under the mask as he saw the confidence rise in the child's eyes. The armor reeked power and even though it wasn't all too strong, it was something indeed to worry about.
But the Masked Man's attention was now driven to Cid's response to him. He stared at the pilot and in a soft voice spoke a demeaning reply "How do you know the world is in the worse state you claim it to be? A few changed colors and a bit out of sorts people? You are a man that has only been here a few minutes, how come it is your call to make?" and the Masked Man knew he timed it perfectly. He could sense Cloud's attack before Cids, due to the fact that he was expecting it and as soon as the noise came from Cloud's blade his knee jerk reaction was to shift to the sides clear out of the way of the blue beam that Cloud's weapon made. He had shifted in the opposite direction of Cid, clear out of the way of the meteors that now rained down upon the Pilot's head.
He heard Cloud's cry... no order for him to take on the kid. A smirk appeared on the lips of the Masked Man as he rounded on the kid. The Pilot has shouted only a few seconds before for him to look at the sky. Hopefully he followed the advice. The Masked Man switched the blade in his right hand to a reversed grip holding the blade closer towards him. He took off in a run towards Night, stopping just out of the range of the meteors and using the barrage of meteors as a distraction to begin his Artillery attack. Four sphere's appeared on the Masked Man's head and shoulders as roughly a dozen spheres of explosive purple magic poured from them, firing themselves at Night adding another barrage towards the poor keyblader.
He heard Cid shout from high above them, but the Masked Man's focus was on the kid before him, wondering just how long the keyblader in that armor could stand up against the man that had killed Stroud.
Artillery: [ Four seal appear around the Masked Man's head and shoulders and together they launch roughly a dozen explosives towards the enemy. This technique can be used in unison with a physical combo.] Cooldown: 2 posts remaining

[bg=1f1e2e][atrb=style,border: 4px solid #6b6895;][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=width,450,true][atrb=width,20%][atrb=vAlign,top][atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,3,true] The past is over ★ ( and Tomorrows wishful thinking ) Crimson eyes continued to glare at the Masked Man, a small 'tch' escaping his lips obviously not buying into any of his bull. He didn't care what the man had to say, or how 'ignorant' he was it didn't take a fool to realize that nothing about this place was right. The Masked Man may have said things would turn back to normal, but in the end this guy was nothing more than a dictator. He didn't know exactly what he did to this place, but it looked like all he was doing was taking it from the light and darkness just to have it for himself in the name of neutral. It was no different when one of the beast on his planet 'liberated' a slave from someone else just to take it for himself. Though this guy seemed to have wanted the whole darn world. Well this ex-slave wasn't going to sit back and watch this place become enslaved. The keyblader didn't say another word to the Mask Man knowing anything he would say would be useless. The man had his mind made up just like he did. So for now he watched Cloud as Cid was still in the masked figure's face. Optics widening when he noticed Cloud about to attack with a familiar attack, "Cid watch out!" Night tried to warn him, but he was too late. The attack was struck and the explosion picked up, the young keyblader thankfully far away enough to not need to avoid the Blade Beam. Though that wasn't the end of Cloud's attack as he grew a familiar red. "Night!! Eyes to the sky!!" He heard Cid cry out, but his nose told him otherwise as he could smell the scent of the masked one coming toward him. Obviously planning on a way to take him out since Cloud had told him to deal with him. Just great. With quick movement Night tried to get out of range of the meteors, though the Masked Man trapped him as he sent blast of his own at him. 'frag! he yelled in his head as he was forced to retreat back into the meteors. The young keyblader tried to keep on his toes to avoid both but that didn't go as well as he hoped as in the middle of jumping back to avoid another of the masked man's attack a meteor struck the ground where he was and ended up blasting him back. He was lucky enough to land on his feet, but the last few blast from the masked figure were still coming at him, Night waving his hand in front of him to create a shield of light with his Cleansing Light. The blast connected with his shield and blasted the young keyblader back making him hit the sand with a roll. A small groan escaping his lips as he got himself to his knees. Alright that hurt, this guy was a lot more powerful that he thought. He was going to have to try and be smart about this. Though for what he could do he wasn't sure. "There's always the option of using me boy" A voice rang in his head which bugged him. His dark spirit didn't use to be able to talk him while he was infused with his light spirit, yet here he was talking to him. Despite his being stronger when he took control like he did in Deep Jungle Night didn't want to resort to that. He shook his head for now as he aimed his wrist at the masked man charging his gun before 5 blast of light at him that would home in on him until it hit something with his Shooting Star.
