Rove kicked the tire again, a few strings of unpleasant oaths and promises escaping his lips. The SeeD PCV suspended on the jack almost looked to lurch, maybe wishful thinking - in Rove's frustration he imagined he had somehow hurt the in-animate object. " What are you doing? " Asked the heavy set man covered in grease who had just walked from back room, a black and brown stained red rag in his chubby hands.
" The nuts stripped and it won't come off. " The SeeD Mercenary shot back, frustration lacing his voice.
" I invited you down here for something to do and to pay me back for wrecking that cycle last time. Not so you can demolish the place. " The mechanic pushed past Rove Sigard and climbed underneath, a few sparks flew and the tire was stricken by gravity and fell away starting to roll before a booted foot was put on it, halting it before it began it's short lived circle dance.
" Looks like you got it under control. " He told the man who only grunted back to him. Response enough, he turned and began to walk around the parking lot - pausing before one of the one man vehicles the man referred to as a 'cycle' abit apprehensive he looked around realized the mechanic was hard at work and wouldn't catch him before he borrowed it. A quick hop and he was on it, the gage read it was charging up and near instantly his foot was pressed down the loud sounds were impossible to miss but drowned out the screams and yells of the mechanic who looked like he was dancing like a cactaur one foot to the other foot rising and falling while one leg pumped into the air and came down.
" Hah! " Sigard let out under his breath as wind battered his face, his eyes squinting as he hunched down to shield himself from the breakneck speed. This was relaxing, he was able to lose himself to no thought when he was playing with these he'd wrecked two in the past so he could understand the guys annoyance, each time he had good reason. Balamb Gardens was behind him now, grass was turning into sand as he was beginning to get near the ocean, his hand began to ease up when it happened, that sudden skip of a heartbeat that realization you have just lost all control and then the airborne feeling of being violently ejected from your seat.
It dawned on him before this all happened he felt a bump that turned into a serious obstruction, one that had him in this hell ride through the air, his arms came up elbows creating a barrier over his face as he struck the grass covered sand floor, his legs would flip up over his head and he would begin a vicious tumble that had him splaying out to stop himself flesh scraped up and clothes being tattered in the process but instantly he could tell this was a minor fall compared to the one before last.
He laid there listening to the engine die on the cycle before a hiss escaped him and he was pushing himself upright, sand being knocked from his clothes - pressure being put down with his walk had him wincing as pain laced up his left leg. Nearing the side sprawled vehicle he seen the putrid looking grey, purple, pink and red lump that was laying torn in two on the ground more than a dozen paces away, impact point.
" Geezards... " He mumbled, his hand rising up to his sword just as he seen it's companions, two of them one of them was already beginning to chew on it's fallen kindred. The other with its freakishly large sharp toothed maw looked to be smiling at Rove as it approached him, swiveling on it's belly at him with pincering finger/claws. The SeeD Merc almost found it funny the way it was creeping up on him like he didn't see it, but something else filled him that had anything witty cut off before he could release, excitement. He'd fought Geezards before, plenty but not one ever this large... this would be a joy. Almost mimicking the approaching monsters smile he charged it, sword-blade slithering free of a scabbard as he let his feet propel himself off the ground coming down at the advancing creature.
