21st Combo - [Video]
[Lloyd's face is pale, panicked, when the video feed turns on.]
Guys, we have a problem. Cruxis is here.
[He swallows.]
And so is Kratos. He's taken over. It isn't Yggdrasill anymore, it's him. He's-
[His eyes abruptly widen, no longer looking at the Dreamberry but something off screen.]
Damn it, they're back!
[There's a flash of steel as he pulls a sword out, then the feed abruptly turns off.]
[ooc: Backdated to after this.]

[He shakes his head.]
You wouldn't do something like that.
video;
Then obviously you don't know me very well.
[When she opens her eyes again, she focuses on something not on the Dreamberry and screams, dropping the device.]
Get back!

[Lloyd glances at the angels, then turns deliberately and runs. He has to lose them. Sheena's in trouble!]
Sheena, what's wrong?!
video;
[There's nothing that can be seen really, except for her feet which are slowly backing out of the frame.]
I...I didn't mean to!
video;
[He ducks around a corner, hoping to throw his pursuers off.]
video;
video;
Just hold them off! I'll be there as fast as I can!
video;
video;
[Please be okay, Sheena. Please be okay! It's going to take him a few minutes to get there.]
video;
[There's a bit of a pause.]
Right?
video;
[But he doesn't know if that's true. He frowns, not liking the lie even if it's supposed to help Sheena calm down.
Well. He'll just have to make it a truth.]
They won't because I won't let them. Don't worry. I've already made it to our street.
[And he's still racing to the apartment steps.]
video;
[Llooooyd you can't come fast enough sob.]
Why won't they go away? They won't go away...
video;
I'm at the apartment now. I'll be there in just a minute. Is your door locked?
video;
[She had tried to escape earlier, but...it hadn't worked. She doesn't remember locking the door, at least...]
video;
[He doesn't think he's ever gone up stairs this fast before. He's nearly out of breath when he reaches the fifth floor. No. That won't do. He needs to be ready to defend Sheena from whatever she's facing, or to fight off any angels if they manage to track him here. Taking a deep breath, he draws on his mana, the same way he would for one of his techniques that needs him to move fast. It helps.
He keeps running.
Give him another minute, Sheena, and he'll be bursting through your door.]
video;
[She's not, believe me. She's sitting here and trying not to look at anything but the floor and her knees.
So when she hears him approach, she closes her eyes, panic rising again. What if it was one of the other dead ones...?
But it had to be Lloyd. Right?]
Action
...and the angels in the room.]
Leave her alone! She's not the one you want!
Sheena, are you all right?
Action
Yes...I'm fine. B-But don't hurt them!
Action
[Lloyd's eyes jerk to Sheena in surprise before he snaps his attention back to the angels.]
Sheena, they were going to use you to get to Colette! I'm not going to let them do that!
Action
[There's a reason why she wasn't fighting, Lloyd.]
They never did anything!
Action
[You're not making any sense.]
Action
No, they're not. They're...they're not Cruxis!
Action
You mean there are angels out there who aren't a part of Cruxis? Angels besides Colette?
Action
[Why wasn't he seeing this?]
Action
Sheena...
[They're not dead. They're right there. If they were dead...]
If they were dead, why are you scared of them?
