Cid nods, and throws a grenade.

"[Gotcha!]" Rikku calls, following her father's grenade with one of her own.

Wakka stands back, readying his fists for if anyone comes close.

Hasira slips her bag off her shoulder, and throws that in Rikku's direction - with what's left of her grenade supply. Then she sends a thundara spell after the watera, aiming at the water left behind.

Cid laughs.

Rikku catches the grenade bag.

Then all hell breaks loose. 

The spell, so clever for it's simplicity, rips through the ranks of soldiers. It renders them stunned, and the machina fire wildly to cover it.

Rikku flings perfectly aimed grenades at the machina, both to cripple them and continue the rampage of Hasira's thundara spell.

"[That's my girl!]" Cid yells excitedly, adding his own grenades to the mix.

Hasira starts darting in to dispatch of the monks with her sword, darting back every so often to avoid the grenade explosions.

The soldiers are decimated, the ones left too weak to even beg for their lives.

A few make an attempt to charge Hasira.

She cackles and meets them, continuing to use sword and magic to devastating effect.

They are quickly ripped through, no match for Hasira's skill and fury.

Rikku rolls in behind her, taking on one of the machina and ripping the control panel to shreds, before diving off and rolling to the next one.

The machina rumbles and sparks, then drops, completely dead.

Cid laughs even more. "[That's my girls!]" he declares proudly, turning to Wakka with a huge grin.

"They're devastatingly effective, sir!" Wakka says, not understanding the Al Bhed, but there's no mistaking a father's proud grin.

Cid, thankfully, remembers that Wakka can't understand Al Bhed with that. "They are at that, and I can't even take full credit. Hasira was close enough this when we took her in!"

"Thought we were leaving," Hasira calls over her shoulder as she finishes making sure every one of their enemies is dead.

"Rikku! You okay?" He calls to the smoking pile of machina.

Rikku's head pops up amid the smoke. "Here! Just scavenging a few fun parts!"

"Ooh, you gonna share? I nearly got my machina working!"

"You're still working on that thing?" Rikku laughs. "Well, have at! Only Yevon machina are resistant to lightning, and believe me, I found out the hard way."

"Luckily they aren't resistant to other things!"

Hasira ducks down to join Rikku in scavenging through the machina.

"When you two are quite finished," Cid says, sounding more amused than anything else.
