Kylar & Tifa

'She doesn't really care or wan't to know' he thought."im fine, how long until i can go?" He didnt like hospitals, there wasn't anything he could do here, he could be other places, helping people, keeping his comrades alive.

[Tifa Lockhart]

The nurse sighed and shook her head, unhooking his drip, checking its levels and then hanging it back up again.
"Seeing as we thought we'd have to amputate the leg before a friend of yours from the barracks threatened to kill us if we tried, i'd say you'll be here for a few more days yet." She smiled and glanced around as if to check no one was listening.
"Unless you promise me you'll go easy and not get into anymore close-quarters battles with Drakeel." She chuckled a little and wiggled her fingers at him, "Forget the claws?"

[blitz]

ignoring her joking and cringing at the thought of losing another limb,he made to sit up and swing his legs over the side of the bed "ill be fine, thanks

[Tifa Lockhart]

The nurse stepped forward, a hand snapping out to push him back into bed. The arm was strong, far stronger than he would have been expecting. It was like his you see, a nano-technology prosthetic.
"You have to at least stay there while i write up a release." She said firmly.

[blitz]

he lay down over his bed side ways, sighing heavily as he looked at the wall upside down. he realized suddenly that he was only in his underwear. he reached for the cloths at the end of his bed and quickly changed into them, he noticed the patchwork on his trousers and his favourite jacket and white shirt, they had been cleaned and the shirt bleached. " thanks for this" he said to the nurse.

[Tifa Lockhart]

"it's my job." She said, but the way she said it suggested it was only half the reason as she filled in his release form. "and... you saved my brother's life. So i owe you one." She winked and handed him the form.
"Take it easy though." She said as she worked his drip out of his arm, "And remember the claws next time." She winked.

[blitz]

he nodded "thanks, who is your brother?" he asked, skimming over the form then folding and pocketing it.

[Tifa Lockhart]

"Jordan." She replied, "Jordan Demasi." She rolled up the drip and put it on her trolley. "Remember him?" She smiled and settled into a chair.

((sorry i took so long))


"yer i think i do" Jasper mumbled as he drifted into thought.

(3 years prior, The skyfall)

"FIRE!, KILL THE BASTARDS!" Jasper roared over the shrill cries, explosions and gunfire. He leapt over the barricade and over a trench, His remington semi auto 12 guage gripped tightly in his real hands. A drakeel shrieked and leapt at him, Up came the shotgun 'CRACK' the buckshot round ripped the creatures head clean in half, He sidestepped as the dead body few past and crashed into the ground. He ran forward. The army of Humans ready to meet the drakeel force head on. A group of Drakeel sprinted forward, covering the distance quickly. Jasper dropped into a kneeling position and opened fire, body shots did not have too much effect at this distance, But the magnum shotgun buckshot rounds ripped through the creatures unprotected heads with ease of a hot knife through butter. The shotgun ran dry. He dropped it for the moment. Up came his 45 1911. He fired, another drakeel felled. The humans charged forward, blood lust and anger fused into one motivated the almost suicidal attack. A drakeel Lunged at Jasper from the side, There was no where to run, no weapon that would stop it mid lunge, The drakeels head and limbs were suddenly ripped from its torso, it crashed into the ground in front of Jasper. " Watch yourself boy!" growled a tall man, wielding a double barrel Shotgun, Which he now loaded and shouldered with lightning speed, He drew a flash looking berreta and begun firing. " DAD LOOK OUT! " Jasper screamed, a large spike appeared through his fathers back... his arms fell to his sides, and the man Jasper was closest too fell to the ground, dead. The drakeel Snarled and snapped its head to face Jasper. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!" Jasper screamed, Running forwards without thinking, The drakeel became stunned by this, but quickly recovered and lashed forwards with its tail. It sliced through Jaspers shoulder mid run, but didnt stop him, he leapt onto the spiky, lizard like creature and grapped its neck, he crushed, ripping and cracking bones and flesh, the creature clawed at Jasper, and like a butcher expertly carving up a piece of meat, removed Jaspers Arm. Jasper screamed, and fell backwards off the thrashing creature, which was dying slowly. He looked around, in a daze, His father lay a metre away, his lifeless eyes staring at him, his beloved double barrel firearm lying between them. fueled by adrenalin and using his remaining arm, He reached forward to the loaded weapon. A hand grabbed his shoulder and rolled him over, it was a young man, with blond hair who looked as though he hadn't finished high school. i'll get you out of here sir!, dont worry Jasper saw movement, fast movement, He reached for the shotgun and rested the barrel over the young mans shoulder instantly and fired, the lunging drakeel was stopped mid flight and crashed to the ground, its skull crushed and pulped. He grabbed the boy and rolled him to his left. The next drakeels tail missed its mark, and stabbed into the ground near Jasper. He drew his knife and held onto the tail, the drakeel flicked it back, bringing Jasper with it, who shoved the blade into the creatures neck as he was flung past it. He hit the ground, And everything went black.

(present)

" I recall your brother dragged me from that battlefield, and saved me from bleeding to death, so that dept was repaid long ago"

[Tifa Lockhart]

"Between the two of you perhaps." The nurse replied with a wink, "Now i feel like i've thanked you well enough, now shoo, and take it easy." She smiled brightly.

[blitz]

He nodded and stood up, slowly limping over towards his weapons, holstering the 357 and sawn off and shouldering the 308. " Thanks " he said, as he reached for the door handle and opened it, he limped off in the direction of his squads tent.

[Tifa Lockhart]

The aforementioned Squad was bored... very VERY bored. Some of them paced, some of them were playing a card game and the others were draped lazily in uncomfortable make-shift chairs.
One in particular, a close companion of Jasper's (the term 'friend' was seldom used these days) was slouching in his chair. They'd yet to hear any more news on their Squad-mate. Though they'd all arrived to save him from the raging Drakeel, he'd been pretty bloodied up.
Logan was his name, and he was quite experienced when it came to Drakeel, he had only one working eye, the other was hidden behind an eyepatch until he could afford a prosthetic. He'd lost half his sight to a Drakeel a few months back and he knew enough about the draconic creatures to think Jasper was in deep shit. The absense of large wings had meant his attacker was female, and the female Drakeel were known to hold grudges, grudges that they'd hold until either they or their prey - for lack of better word - was dead.
