[Sword 4 Hire]

Realizing that he's lossed his vision he quickly puts his blade up and crouches low to the ground. Feeling a sharp strength run down from the edge of the Cross Sword to his body Sword 4 Hire parries the attack, but roles backwards after feeling the rush of power. Regrasping his hold on his sword he quickly stands up in the middle of the role and sprints the short distance to Kairth swiping the Gunblade in many diagonal strikes, letting go shots of ammo from the barrel of the Gunblade....and then crouching down low...beneath Kairth the Mercenary shoots up from his postition, stretching The Cross Sword across the body of Kairth before jumping over him entirely.

As he lands from his jump the impact kicks up a small cloud of dust at the Mercenary's feet. With his back towards Kairth Sword 4 Hire slowly looks back at his foe.

The King abuses his power Kairth...since Soul was young he has known of the power she posesses...he's known of her Eidolon's power. And uses it to his advantage...he's uses it to inflict fear in the hearts of the city dwellers...as well as neighboring lands...who knows how much farther he'd go to capitilize on his daughter's power...who knows how long it will be before that fear will turn into action...

The Mercenary then faces Kairth...

"And that is why I tried to take her away...it wasn't a kidnapping...it was a rescue...
