[center][h1][b][color=00aeef]Serah Gene[/color] & Sigma[/b][/h1][/center][hr]Serah was cheerfully humming one of her favorite songs as she had Atty walk along the outskirts of the colony. She wasn't really seeing anything of note. It's then that Sigma opened up a private communication channel with her, causing Serah's attention to be drawn to that. "[b]Hey you, at least pretend the pilot part.[/b]" The little girl had said to Serah, who felt a little insulted. [color=00aeef]"H-Hey! I can't help it..."[/color] Serah replied, realizing Sigma did have a point. The younger girl then repeated the mission briefing in a delightfully childlike manner, nearly causing Serah to crack up. [color=00aeef]"All right, all right. I'll look out for the 'Pilot Blender'."[/color] Serah giggled and reached to turn off the private link. But then all hell broke loose. Wormholes opened all over Troas, high in the sky, with Cruxi dropships beaming out and causing carnage. Even the commander, Harold, was quickly caught and neutralized in all the chaos. Sigma stood there, witless. The wormholes. The ominous shapes. It all felt like deja vĂș. She had experienced it before. And at the same time she had not. Those were Irina's memories, firmly imprinted in her mind. Her limbs felt like lead, refusing to move. That thing, standing proud like an alien-made sun amidst the battle, the veritable wrath of an uncomprehensible demigod soon to be unleashed in the battlefield. "NOO!" Sigma couldn't rein her emotions as they spiked in a surge as Harold, the squad leader had decided to fight back. Brave. But short lived. She cradled her face with one hand. "Headless." Her ominous words were said once, but the implications echoed in her mind. It was then when she looked at the bottle. The very one Iota had introduced in her cockpit. Serah wasn't in any better shape than Sigma. Her face went pale as she looked at Rostosov getting torn into pieces, feeling all of the blood drain from all parts of her body. The girl was numb to the synchronization drop with Atty for the first few moments, but Sigma's scream jolted her back to reality. [color=00aeef][i]"Right... Keep calm. Save your emotions for after the battle."[/i][/color] Serah had to remind herself, gripping the side of her seat tightly. Sigma unscrewed the cap of the bottle with her teeth, as she gripped the controls, her hands typing up like possessed, bringing commands forth to the Eiswolf. In one gulp, she downed it all, before looking at the still open communication. "...Welp. We're fucked." Serah almost had to laugh at how blunt Sigma delivered that line. But she couldn't be right, could she? [color=00aeef]"Probably, yeah..."[/color] Serah replied in an almost as blunt tone, leaning back in her chair. She saw that Yeager and Magus were still functional. [color=00aeef]"Y'know... I'm not keen on this 'doomed' thing."[/color] Serah joked flatly, opening up a relay with the other two framewerks. [color=00aeef]"Rostosov KIA. Careful everyone."[/color] Serah told the rest, then dropped comms again. [color=00aeef]"So, what do we do?"[/color] She asked Sigma, sounding a lot colder than you'd expect from someone as cheerful as her. It was then when Sigma looked at the scene once more, her scowl accentuating as she loomed over her controls. The bottle in her hand was squashed violently. "We..." She hesitated for a second. "We..." "WE KILL EVERYONE OF THESE BASTARDS UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING FOR THAT FUCKER OF LORENZO TO ANALYZE! ORAH!" She added, breaking in a cynical laughter, her pitch dropping significantly, very much like a teenaged Irina, as she uploaded her targetting systems into the communication. "I'm not Elora, but please work you piece of shit" She concluded. "I'll take care of the snipers. Just don't let others near me." She concluded. "You keep peeled, and don't let the blender get you. Your weapon is one of the few things that can tip the scale." Serah was slightly taken aback by the sudden shift of persona to say the least. The last thing she'd expected was Sigma to yell at the top of her lungs, not to mention she even dropped [i]Lorenzo[/i] in there. [color=00aeef]"Okay, that's [i]totally[/i] not like you at all."[/color] Serah heated up her thrusters and dashed once to the west. It was probably a good idea to get as far away from that pulsating monstrosity as possible. She looked over to her left and right, spotting two tentacled beast Cruxi. They were pretty far away and didn't seem to be capable of ranged attacks, so she should be able to keep them away from Eiswolf. [color=00aeef]"I'll keep these two off of you. Cover my flank!"[/color] Serah yelled over to Sigma, firing off a few sickles of energy at the northern tentacle beast. They were probably easy to miss but it'd flush them out at least. The girl moved one of her barrier wings to face her target and had the other hovering at the back of the right thigh, trying to shield herself from an unexpected shot. "This battle needs a hero. Like that sick bitch of Irina. And I can do Irina." Sigma gritted her teeth, as she aimed at the southern sniper-like unit, at what she guessed was the vital area. "One." She pressed the trigger to execute her attack, as she ignited her boosters and drew back, adjacent to Serah, in order to keep the other framewerk secured.
