Every single thing seemed to just freeze into place, the spell of slow on everyone around her, while she herself was frozen into a stop. Alex used her right hand leans against the door frame in order to support her weight. Blue eyes wide in utter shock as she witnessed her friend standing there around dead people and was writhing in what appeared to be pain. Agony, terror, and desperation stretching across the tear stained face of Naisha. The mere sight left any resolve she had just to get here, seem to disappear. The once strength in her legs now felt like jelly, ready to collapse under her. Alex tried to say something, anything, to break out of her body's frozen state and say something. Utter dread and unease filling the pit of her stomach, clenching tightly and feeling like the feelings were trying to rip her apart from the inside. Managing to stumble foreword a few steps closer, and despite Naisha's screams for the red head to run, Alex outstretched her right hand. Fingers desperately pointing toward the black Mage, craving to quickly touch the black haired woman and assist in whatever was happening. Yet, she hesitated, blue eyes widening as she witnessed a transformation. Her gaze squinting a little at the mesh of light and shadows to only replace her friend with a demonic looking creature. It let out a shriek and faster a gravija spell on some people before taking off towards Thane. [color=red]"Nai! Wait! Please!"[/color] Alex shouted as she tried to wobble after her transformed friend, but ended up stumbling to leaning against the wall, coughing a little, taking deep desperate breaths, her chest heaving. The red head wasn't sure if it was from her injuries, or for what she just witnessed. Naisha... Had just turned into what looked like a fiend right before her eyes. And she had hesitated. Maybe if she didn't, she could of made a grab at her, tried to stop this. But how would she? How could she stop this? She just couldn't punch Naisha to her senses. But she had to do something. Anything. Damn it! If she had just been a little bit faster... Maybe she could have prevented this. But no, Alex had failed to protect her friend. Dread, shock, dismay, terror, and almost felt like she was about to regurgitate everything that was in her stomach.... Alex had a bunch of mixture of thoughts and feelings that just made her feel worse. Focus being completely on Naisha, she only noticed the strawberry blonde when she ordered Alex to not move. Not being able to really complain, Alex turned her gaze toward the strange girl as she felt a gentle hand touch her before the mystery girl used Cura. It took a few moments, but the spell worked its healing magic. The injuries closing up and soon fading away, the strength in her legs returning and allowing her to stand up straight again, and her breathing at a normal rate once again. There was still a sense of soreness, but even that felt like she just took a painkiller and was slowly dulling any pain. [color=red]"Thanks."[/color] Alex said, her blue eyes flicking toward the Aeon, Valefor, that was close to this strange girl. A look of surprise entering her eyes as she looked at this 'friend' of Gippal and Urick. A summoner?! Well no wonder those two wanted to be with this girl if she was always a summoner. But if that's the case, she'll punch them later. For now, there wasn't anytime to worry about who this girl was her relationship to Gippal and Urick. By what Thane said yesterday, maybe this was the girl he was talking about. Once again just like the time first meeting this summoner and Valefor, Alex felt a sense of calmness and the pendant growing hot like molding iron against her flesh. Despite how moments before, her emotions were in a chaos over Naisha's transformation. As Gippal and Urick entered, Alex turned her gaze toward Thane, watching as Lady Yuna's Aeon, Bahamut, obliterated Thane's dragon alongside a red clad man. Yet Thane just seemed enthused to see Bahamut before talking to Gippal about taking a loved one. Motioning to the fiend that was once Naisha. The white haired man grew angry and bolted out and toward Thane. Eyes narrowing as she growled, Alex glanced toward Urick and the mystery girl. Whoever this was, she now wasn't definetly handing her over to this Sin spawn known as Thane. But she wasn't about to just let him have Naisha. Alex was positive, that if she got her hands on him, she would kill him. Quickly scanning the outside to oversee the situation, she saw people screaming and fleeing for their lives while some brave souls fought. She was sure she could spot Tidus and Wakka joining into the fray, slaughtering fiends with amazing precision. [color=red]"Uri, protect her. I don't know what is going on, but he seems to have some sort of thing with you. So stay low."[/color] Alex said to the two of them before moving over toward the wall and reaching for a displayed sword. Brotherhood, a old sword Tidus used to use. It wasn't her sword, but it was better than nothing. Charging, she ran through the stands, slicing through any fiend that tried attacking her. Mostly the lower fiends like dingo's and condor's. While she promptly avoided the flan. Her anger starting to boil now she was away from the summoner and Valefor, rage filling her eyes as she glared toward Thane's figure. Yet despite going directly to him, she trusted Gippal to handle it and so she wall runned up a wall before kicking off and aiming to make a grab at the fiend that was/is Naisha. Alex didn't really have any plan. The red head wasn't sure if she could bring herself to hurt her friend, and Alex wasn't the best at magic so she had no idea if there was even a spell to help this. But, she had to do something. Even if it was dumb and reckless. [color=red]"God damnit Nai! Don't you let that piece of Chocobo dung control you! You're tougher than that!"[/color] she barked.
