[indent]Junon's beach was suppose to have been a breather for him. Instead, its dead silence and tarnished shore had become a vile aftertaste. Now he would have to dive into battle just a bit off balance. A smidge unhinged. The sound of squealing tires coming to a even louder halt broke his train-of-thought. He turned to see three infantryman rearing their heads from the vehicle.

[color=silver][b]"Right on time,"[/b][/color] he told himself, finally taking steps towards his objective.

Astral wore his armor and extras now, the 1st SOLDIER secured him to the speeding vehicle by pure strength and obvious experience. The wind grasped his hair and waist cloth, around him were the sounds of combat. Memories from his time in the Wutai War slithered back, reminding him of the thankless and rather hollow slaughterings he had committed. He eased the guilt effortless. Knowing that the Wutai War had brought him close to his goal of true freedom. 

As they neared the entrance of the base--mechanical beasts, no doubt operated by AVALANCHE, were plentiful. The vehicle slowed as was instructed and with a powerful leap, Astral was lunging into chaos. In mid-air he spun, Brightfang many times until he cleaved the nearest Rover at the neck. A tiny spark alerted him to move on. As he did so, a shockwave pushed at his back and a [i][b]boom[/b][/i] took the area in a stranglehold.

[color=silver][i]The super weapon... It's not here. Must be higher up.[/i][/color] He shifted his gaze to the barrel, far higher than anyone could imagine alone. He begrudged having to clear his way through the dummies inside the base but it would have to be done. If anything else, he had decided, it would lessen the danger for the others. 

He entered the base--now darkened by chaos and flickering with electrical shortages and small but long-living fires. He brought his greatsword up, fitted it behind him, and begun the arduous job of cleaving his way to the super weapon Cricket.[/indent]
