The redhead sprinted down the hall, moving so fast he left only a trace of red to the naked eye. Half way down the corridor the Turk jumped onto the wall, using the momentum to propel himself higher into the air, landing a nice midair roundhouse kick to one of the small flying robots that had gone haywire throughout the Shinra building. Harnessing the twisting motion from the kick, Reno spun mid air, his EMR already cocked high by the opposite shoulder. Coming out of the spin, the redhead released his attack, allowing the metal weapon to come crashing down upon another whirly robot before the assassin landed on the floor, crouched on all fours, a graceful display of his cat like reflexes. Using his free hand, in a fluid action riding off the continuous wave of energy, Reno pulled a gun from his shoulder holster, firing several shots towards his point of origin, the bullets not only landing in their intended targets, but dropping them as well.
Unlike his acrobatic monkey of a partner, Rude chose to fight his battle at the end of the hall, landing a series of power punches and stout kicks. As was more suited to his style of fighting, the bald brawler took the larger, upright robots, bashing in the protective metal plates until they could no longer defend the inner working of the wires, exposing the machines ultimate weakness. The hard outer shell, after enough blows, curled in on itself, making a perfect handle for Rude to grab. From there it was all just a matter of using his brute strength to rip off the panel, allowing him to yank out the electrical system, rendering the machine powerless. This took a lot of concentration on the demolitionist part, which is why his partner covered his back, taking down two of the smaller flying gadgets that had managed to sneak up on the brawler.
Just as Reno dropped the last of the floating contraptions, Rude managed to defile the last of the bigger robots, separating what appeared to be its head from what he guessed was the machines shoulders. Seeing as the room was clear, the redhead stood, a delighted smirk on his face as he went to put his gun away, bring his EMR to rest upon his shoulder.
"Well... dat was fun, " the bastard chuckled to himself, never passing up an opportunity for a bitterly sarcastic and witty remark.
"Indeed," the bald brawler retorted, tossing the mechanical head off to the side nonchalantly. Taking a few steps towards his brash partner, Rude kicked the remaining brutally dismembered debris off to the side, making a safe path. "This floors clear."
"Indeed," mocked the spry assassin in a deep bass, a voice lower than his usual, purposefully mocking his friend.
The stoic Turk's head snapped to give a potent glare towards the idiot redhead. Even though the brawlers eyes were hidden behind his sunglasses, the intensity of the threatening gaze burned bright, pushing past the glass shields to make his message clear.
Reno just snorted at the satisfaction of annoying his comrade, which was apparent by the radiant glow of the permanently placed smirk on his face. "Ready fur round five, yo?" the younger man asked, already heading towards the staircase to head up to the next floor.
Rude nodded in response, pulling his gloves down up on his hands, cracking his knuckles, his knuckle that were still itching for a fight. The broad shouldered Turk followed after the redhead who was holding the door open for his partner.
"One wit da higher body count on dis floor buys dinner, yeah?" the Second in Command suggested, a playful bet between two friends.
"Yur on," the bald partner answered back, his voice as monotone as ever, but Reno could hear the smile that threatened to ruin the silent mans image, the smile hidden behind the minimalists words. It was times like this, that despite they distinctly different personalities, Reno know that his bald buddy enjoyed their work just as much as he did.
