This was not the response he wanted, though it led thoughts to gather. Sephiroth mused to himself.
"Indeed, what did happen. That is what we can find out." Sephiroth stood quietly, eyes never leaving the one who he'd just fought.

Kadaj just seemed to smile sadly as he looked back up at Sephiroth. it was as if he didn't yet notice the power that was growing inside of him or the darkness in front of his eyes.
Brother, I am... I am sorry. I di-NNNGH!""
Face contorted into pain, Kadaj fell to his knees before Spehiroth, clutching at his chest. Two thick streams of darkness that radiated the same feeling as Sephiroth's spewed out of his body and flew upwards, both dissipating into nothing after a few meters climb.

He merely watched, observing whatever was possible without testing. Would he give off the same presence as before now? Sephiroth surely hoped so.

"B-brother? Wh-what is.... ha-hapen-nnAAAGGG!!!"
Kadaj lifted off of his knees into the air and hovered there a few feet off the ground, now completely engulfed in a fiery aura or red and black darkness. He looked skyward and screamed in agony. Above him a circle began to form in the air which seemed to be inscribed out of pure magic. The runic engraving had seven empty circles which began to fill in one by one. When all where lit up by the same white light that the circle was made of they slammed together at its center and the circle vanished. the collected sphere of light blasted upwards in a beam of pitch-black energy that pierced the red and orange sky of Twilight Town.
Sephiroth got what he wanted, in a way. The power being expelled gave off almost exactly the same presence as he'd felt before. Only now it was shooting into space. Once it was done Kadaj's aura vanished and the boy fell to the ground. He lost consciousness immediately and fell limply to his side.
In the sky above an incredibly powerful force was concentrating together. The clouds in the evening sky began to swirl around its focal point.

Kadaj fell unconscious and released some great force within in him. Not quite what Sephiroth wanted, at all.
"Ahhh....now this is interesting. How exactly did this get put into you?" He looked down at Kadaj and back up at the sky. "Tell me ominous cloud, what summon are you?" He had dealt with them all back in the day, and defeated each one. What did this one think was special about it?

From the cover emerged the fast-descending form of a huge glowing blue creature. As it fell the light faded away to give the beast true substance, revealing a grey monster decorated in demonic imagery. It was tightly compacted at first but once the last glow ad faded to long wings opened up to reveal a dragon-like form, easily three stories in height not counting the length of its long tail. It roared loudly and without purpose, a recklessly wild beast.
A new, twisted form of Bahamut had been born.

Before the summon had finished Sephiroth had Kadaj in his right arm, flying off to the far side of Twilight Town while sticking low to the ground. If Kadaj was capable of this, he was rather valuable. He certainly couldn't let him run away without understanding how it worked. Even more so, this terrain did not suit to fight Bahamut.

The creature looked down at the town's sunset terrace and rocketed through the air, using the descent to fuel its gliding speed. it roared again, then began to breath out a flurry of small glowing blue energy shots. They were not especially powerful, but there were many of them and they practically rained down across a few streets as the monster passed overhead, destroying tram cars and blowing holes in buildings.
It did not follow after Sephiroth or its summoner. With Kadaj unconscious it seemed to lack any purpose but to destroy.

They landed near on a hill on the far end of Twilight Town. Sephiroth watched quietly, already having noticed Bahamut didn't care much for them. Instead it was very, very angry. And wanted to blow things up. Sephiroth looked at Kadaj, still out, wondering what effect he had on the giant monster.
"We will watch here little brother. You may still prove very useful yet." Sephiroth smiled, as he should. He was rather disappointed in the lack of cool Kadaj showed. Inexperienced or not. "However....we need to introduce you to other summons. Though all things in time."

Yazoo's long, ankle-length coat swung about him with an uncanny grace as he strodeup the hill. His dark green eyes flitted from the familiar, yet strange presence to the unconscious form of his brother. He was apparently unimpressed with the raging summon behind him and rather decided to focus on the task at hand. He had been observing the goings-on between Kadaj and Sephiroth for a short time, and so was more informed than either of them might think.
He stopped a short ways from the two, simply watching them for a moment. The silver-haired marksman didn't seem to have any intention of speaking; particularly ready to retrieve his brother and return to business more important than this 'Big Brother'.

The unnamed form of Bahamut finally flew its way to Twilight Town's clock tower. The beast used the building as a pole and landed on its side, hanging on by both arms and bracing its massive feet against it. The summon looked out of the town and roared once more, then a blue light began to build up in its mouth. Unlike the small bursts before this one was accumulating power together.
Meanwhile Kadaj remained still and unconscious by Sephiroth's side.

Bahamut was clearly enjoying it's destruction time, and unfortunately possessed no abilities Sephiroth hadn't seen before. Much less, Kadaj was showing no sign of consciousness. And as for a new sign...Sephiroth turned his head in that direction. "Kadaj, it seems we drew out a brother. It's only right I meet him."
Sephiroth chose to wait, he could come. That they did come was amusing. Better than them watching him from afar and never acting. Confidence showed they were indeed his brothers in one way.
"Are you here for Kadaj?" Sephiroth turned slightly, then decided it didn't matter enough. He raised Kadaj with his arm and then brought him back. "He's a bit heavy, though I think I'm partial to his little outbursts."
"So little brother, are you Yazoo or Loz?" The answer didn't matter, Sephiroth was aiming for amusement.

Yazoo tilted his head, and let his blank gaze fall against that of Sephiroth's. He was almost the height of his older. With a hand on one hip and the other hanging loosely he examined 'Big Brother' more carefully than before. He was silent, yet his arrogant confidence showed through without words. "I think... you're too eager to call me brother." He mused with a smirk.
It was true, this person, this apparent brother of theirs' had bested Kadaj in a battle of skill, but Yazoo had no intention of fighting. Taking a few more steps forward, the marksman held out his hand as if expecting Sephiroth to hand Kadaj over.

Sephiroth shook his head. "Name first, then you can have him." This time Sephiroth didn't casually speak, just as with commanding Kadaj, he targeted this new brother. Had it been anyone but these "brothers", Sephiroth would have laughed and been done with them long ago. These children though, were proving useful in the least.
He supposed that in time he'd change his opinion of how to deal with the brothers. Now that he'd seen one in action, and apparently the leader, he wouldn't be so forgiving. Mother hadn't told him anything other than to keep them alive, and that much he would in fact do. That they had such individual personalities was another thing altogether. Hopefully the third would bring the same observation.

Another figure followed after the slim Yazoo. This one burly and muscular, full of power and strength. Loz stood a few steps behind Yazoo, watching the scene with a frowning expression of confusion. Something was not right. However, he said very little as ‘Big Brother’ demanded Yazoo’s name.
"Kadaj..." Loz stepped forward as Yazoo held out a hand for their unconscious brother. He gritted his teeth, and stood next to Yazoo, his green eyes flitting between Sephiroth and Kadaj. Something stirred in his spine. A feeling he was not familiar with...
