While it was a mere farming implement, the hoe Ein carried was a sturdy tool, with a hardwood handle smoothed by years of use and a heavy metal head that actually give it a similar balance to a spear, albeit a spear without much in the way of point or blade.  The blade meets the hoe's haft and deflects away leaving little more than a dent, and then Ein whips the tool around and a spray of little crystalline shards erupt from the creature's side as he strikes it with all the strength he can muster.  The motions come more easily than he might expect, and the statue-thing stumbles as Ein twirls his impromptu weapon over his head to strike it on the other side, sending fresh cracks spidering across his opponent's body.<br/>
<br/>
If such an inhuman thing could feel desperation, perhaps it was in the counterattack as it lunged again.  If there was however, it availed the creature little as Ein caught the worn blade on his hoe and sent it upwards.  They are close together now, and Ein can see the misshapen mouth's crackled lips parted in a soundless battlecry but there is only the sound of decrepit blade meeting well-forged tool and the steady crunching of the shards littering the ground beneath both combatants feet.  The crystalline thing moves like a broken puppet now it's motions chaotic and jerking, still one minute and violent the next, but even in this state it is still dangerous as it reverses it's deflected strike and tries to bring it's sword down upon Ein's head!</div>

"Aaah-Hahahahaaa!  You don't Know?!  You don't <i>Know?!</i>"  The clown practically dances a little jig in the air.  "You reek of untapped power, power that only comes of being summoned here, and you claim not to know?!"  <br/>
<br/>
"Kefka!"  The pink-haired girl's voice snaps across the clown's mad laughter like the crack of a whip, and anger shows faintly on her otherwise placid expression.  Where she held her sword, she now holds a firearm of some sort, though Zwei is not sure how she recognizes such a thing.  Where could she possibly have seen one before?  The girl is still speaking though...  "I am hardly finished with your madness clown!"  <br/>
<br/>
"But I am finished with you and your petty 'ideals'."  The clown sneers back, before turning to Zwei once more.  "Well there you have it, I'm Kefka, and I do know about this world, but I don't give anything away for free~..."  He sing-songed, then cackled again.  "Zwei was it?  Deal with little Miss Thunderbolt over there for me, and I'll teach you about this world..."  Kefka shrugged, and then sat cross legged in the air, shifting slightly to dodge a bullet as the girl fired up at him with a snarl.  <br/>
<br/>
He flapped his hands at Zwei.  "Go on!  And do make a good show of it would you?"</div>
