All X could do is try to slow his own descent. He new that if he could give himself a strong jump right before the highway hit the ground, it would give him a better chance at surviving the fall. So that's what he decided to do.

I-no eyed the strange creatures moving down the street towards her and licked her ruby-colored lips. "...it'll be good to work the kinks out of my back, you stupid, ugly little cretins..." She raised Marlene up in front of her and slammed a power chord, its electric voice echoing from out of nowhere. "Ahh...I missed your voice, darling..."

"Excuse me, sir. Is that your truck outside? Can you move it for me please?" Leon said as he stood several feet away. He watched the man carefully. Hopefully the man would do what he asked.

Ryu
Ryu crept across the platform silently, and the giant paid him no heed. It seemed to be quite content rhythmically smashing the corpse against the tiled wall every few moments, pulverizing body and tiles even further each time. As Ryu reached the door to the train, however, he spotted a distinct problem with getting aboard: the sliding doors had buckled sharply inward in an large dent where something had smashed against them. It seemed fairly obvious that this was another sample of the monster's handiwork. It also seemed rather clear that it would be impossible to open the doors in this condition...

XYou know, I saw the episode of Mythbusters where they busted this one. Good thing this is a video game... As the section of roadway separated from the rest of the highway, X braced himself to try to minimize the damage from the fall. He wasn't sure how far it was to the ground, but a quick glance to the side showed it far below but approaching quickly. X braced to make a leap just before impact... Without warning, and much sooner than he had expected, the falling roadway impacted against something, bringing it to an abrupt halt and throwing X off his feet and some of the lighter debris into the air. As X regained his feet, he looked over the edge of the roadway to see that it had come to rest atop a lower section of the highway that ran in a different direction, lending it a precarious balance that was only temporary at best...

I-No
Both of the creatures looked at each other quizzically as I-No struck her chord, but it did not deter their approach for more than a moment. As the chord faded from the air, she could hear the two of them talking, but only caught the tail end of the conversation:
"... and she's hot!"
The one who hadn't been speaking called to her immediately after, while still some distance away, "Hey gorgeous, you waitin' for us, or are you playing guitar in front of our house for some other reason?"

Leon
As Leon addressed the man, he slowly turned to face him. He was obviously quite accustomed to rural living, as he wore simple workclothes, and had a weathered face, tangled hair, and haggard eyes that spoke of many long days of hard work.
The man glared directly into Leon's eyes with a look of fury, and growled something in Spanish that he couldn't really make out clearly, and was spoken too quickly for his somewhat rudimentary understanding to help decipher anyway. One thing was clear, though; he was not happy to have a visitor.

OOC: I was hoping you wouldn't catch that. Also, I'm doing this post on a nintendo DS. Cool, huh?
X knew that he had been given a save. He immediately dashed off onto the solid section of highway. Once there, he thought he would take a brief rest and check the damage from his last battle. Perhaps some minor things could be repaired on the fly.

"YOUR house? Hmph..." What kind of crazy place did that bastard send me to? "...it's a dump..." She closed her eyes and began to wheedle out a tune quietly on the strings...though it still seemed to emit that amplification effect, despite a lack of visible speakers. "...and do you have a problem with my Marlene?"

Leon could immediately tell he was not wanted in the house. It seemed as though the man was slowly approaching him, as if ready to attack. Of course, Leon noticed this and had immediately raised his Gun.
"Look buddy, I only want you to move the truck outside. Then I will leave you alone. I don't want to have to shoot you!" Leon said to the man. Hopefully the man would come to his senses and help.
Unfortunately, Leon sensed that would not be the case.....

X
X headed for the relative shelter underneath the upper highway, and didn't stop until he was well away from the spot where the wreckage had fallen. He checked himself over for any major damage, but there was nothing terribly critical; while he had taken some dents and dings from combat (including an especially prominent one from where one of the ball mechanoids had kicked him earlier), the physical damage was not particularly severe. However, his internal shielding mechanisms were starting to run very low on power, and if he took much more abuse, they were likely to fail entirely, leaving his most critical components vulnerable...
X's examination was interrupted by a thunderous groaning. He looked up to see the wreckage of the highway he had come down on begin to list to the side as the section of roadway it was balanced on started to give way. A moment later, and the roadway, wreckage, and everything else dropped out of sight as the strain reached the limits of the structure's tolerance, and the whole section collapsed, falling to the ground far below. Several seconds passed before X heard a tremendous crash as the ruined sections of highway impacted into the earth. X was glad he had left quickly; not even his best jump would have saved him from a fall like that...

I-No
"Look, sweetcheeks," said the creature as they continued to approach, "You're obviously completely bonkers, but you're also totally sexy. So unless you're here to come inside and have some fun with us," it winked grotesquely at the suggestion, "would you mind sharing why you're continuing to bother us?"

Leon
The man growled unintelligibly, and lunged at Leon in response. Leon hadn't noticed it before, but at some point the man had also picked up a hatchet, and Leon was only able to evade the attack by mere inches. Clearly a calm discussion was not on his mind...

"Me? Why...I'm just here for a little fun myself...if you catch my drift..." She licked her lips as she tipped down her hat. "...so do you boys wanna play along, or will I have to play with myself?" She slammed a power chord and tilted her head up again.

X didn't want to take any more risks at this point. He used his remaining energy tank to recharge his internal shielding. He'd have to keep an eye out for replacements. Then he pressed forward. It was all he could do.
