A Train, moving through the valleys, and transporting hooded prisoners...
When suddenly, the Train passes through a barrier on its way; the barrier brakes, and scatters to pieces!
Encountering the barrier caused the Train to tremble; and thus, Lightning, saw her chance to strike!
Lightning and Sazh were posing as prisoners on the Train; their goal...
As her first move, Lightning knocked out the Guard with a kick; afterwards, she immediately freed the prisoners, by unlocking their cuffs.
Lightning moves forward, fighting every guard on the Train; while the prisoners have found guns, and are following Sazh...
The Train enters the tunnel, which leads to the City.
In the City, a rebellion is going on; with people fighting the soldiers; the same soldiers, that were knocked out by Lightning on the Train.
It looks like a War Zone; shooting is everywhere: on the ground, in the sky; and most of the buildings are also affected.
The lights of the City, are overlapping with the lights of War...
Lightning tried to bring down some aircraft, and some flying beasts, with a rocket launcher; one aircraft was successfully shot down; the flying beasts however, are nimble, and avoided the rockets.
The Train grounded to a halt; and one of the Metal Flying Beasts, had sat on the Train, and pulled it to a stop!
That's where Lightning's and Sazh's advance, takes place on foot!
The Flying Metal Beast looks down on Lightning and Sazh, with its cutter discs spinning, ready to cut in...
Let's see how fast, we can take down an electronic beast!
The Flying Metal Beast, is the Manasvin Warmech, and it can glow brightly; the Warmech has a body resembling a fish; it has wings, and a tail of a scorpion.
Manasvin Warmech has a Laser Beam Cannon inside; and our party got engulfed in a trail of white light!
Lightning slashes the Mech with her blade, the blade can fire rounds too.
Sazh is using a pair of handguns, fires from a small distance; Sazh makes a pose, and fires two handguns simultaneously.
Sazh carries a baby bird with him; a chick is riding Sazh, and in this dangerous world...
Wave Cannon, the beam shoots, and right after it, a double-slash scratches its metal body.
We hit this Mech hard...
The Manasvin Warmech's body exploded, and it fell off the Train; to the deep darkness below; we are on a bridge, that is very high off the ground.
Sazh's little bird, is a Chocobo chick; it travels in Sazh's hair, which was made to stand up; and the hair forms a nice nest for the Chocobo.
Lightning used to be a Soldier.
Lightning wears a long thin cape at her back, and a metal shoulder pad, with two lines of yellow light on it.
This war-torn city is catching fire.
The buildings around us, are a very tall cone-shaped towers.
This city has many metal bridges; we are standing on one of these metal bridges...
Aerorail, so that's what is under our feet; a floating vehicles highway this is.
Unicorn Mart, is our shop, with little to offer; it is still offering enough of the basic stuff, like Potions and Phoenix Downs.
Phoenix Downs are too expensive at this point, so it is better, to use lots of Potions instead.
Chunks of concrete are lying around the highway, not blocking our way, yet.
Soldiers in our way...
PSICOM Wardens, soldiers in armor, from head to toe; it's like their helmets have gas masks built-in.
Wardens were dealt with; they were patrolling near a Ring, the Ring has energy flowing inside it.
Lightning will leave the Giant spinning Ring, and continue forward...
Jumped over the rubble on the highway.
Wardens again, moving in sync.
PSICOM Wardens have no strong points, so Lightning cuts through them with ease.
Some explosions hit this Aerorail, from time to time; the explosions are minuscule compared to the Aerorail, so it stands fine.
A PSICOM Enforcer, now that one is a bit tougher, and he carries a sword...
In a place where most fighter jets are flying, and they are shooting at the highway sometime; we aren't hit though...
Oh, stop worrying so much Sazh, the airplanes didn't hurt us yet.
A metal sphere, and it has a Potion inside; the Potion will be taken of course!
These Rings with energy, they are used to summon metal beasts; a Ring is used as a Portal...
Two Pantherons were summoned; and these PSICOM soldiers really need some reinforcements.
Pantherons attack Lightning and Sazh with their claws!
One Pantheron is staggered and eliminated; the second Pantheron will be gone, with few more shots.
Both Pantherons staggered, and defeated!
Another sphere with Potions to grab!
PSICOM Aerial Recon, is a new Soldier that flies, using a jetpack; weak in defenses.
The Aerial Recon shoots a barrage of small rockets on Sazh; Sazh endures!
Lightning finishes off Aerial Recon, while Sazh takes down an Enforcer!
A sphere with an Iron Bangle.
Will equip an Iron Bangle to Lightning, to enhance her endurance!
Metal containers with doors, are scattered along this path; what were they used for?
A sphere with Gil; Gil is currency used in shops.
Wardens again, too weak...
A big blast from above, has destroyed part of the highway, and cut off our path; we can move to a platform on the other side, or, it looks that way.
A person was caught in the blast...
This rebellion is massive, fighting the army so!
Three Pantherons, this could pose a challenge; have lots of Potions stocked up, so, no problem.
Lightning Uses a Blitz ability, to make a wide slash, and damage all three Pantherons at once!
A moving platform took us to the other side, the panel, when activated, lifts a monitor for ease of control.
PSICOM Marauder will be our opponent, he wanted us to surrender; it is a tough opponent, and Lightning will fight him nonetheless.
By combining Sazh's and Lightning's attacks, can stagger even the toughest of foes!
The Marauder is staggered, he can't do any special attacks in this state!
The fighting continues at the Hanging Edge!
A Hero, Snow, will lead the resistance!
Snow, he is very tough, and big...
Snow opened a sphere with Gil!
Doom and Gloom in these people's minds, as they are supposed to be deported by the army, or fight the army, and risk being killed...
Well, children of the resistance, aren't on the front lines; the situation is stable so far, for the Resistance Front!
