Vincent was not happy when he was forced to be included in the battle against Emerald WEAPON. When questioning Cloud of this matter, the blonde replied with, "Um...we wanted to try something new." With Cid in his team, Vincent didn't think Cloud needed anyone else. Cid was a tough cookie. In fact, he was an entire tough bakery. Tough cookies weren't enough.

Normally, Cloud travelled with Cid and Yuffie. Beforehand, it had been Cloud, Cid and Red XIII. So why the blonde had suddenly chosen Vincent for 'something new', would forever remain a mystery. Especially after a huge argument in the submarine between Cid and Cloud about hair. Apparently there was such a thing as too much styling gel, pondered Cid. Cloud, of course, took offence to this, even though they were about to face Emerald WEAPON. While manuevering the submarine, the pilot and swordsman argued constantly, driving a silent Vincent crazy.

"OH MY GOD, WILL YOU TWO PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP?"

That was rather uncharacteristic of Vincent. Cid's hand entangled in Cloud's hair, Cloud's in mid-air ready to slap him, both stared at the gunman, who was watching the window as Emerald WEAPON drew near, and Cloud immediately drove the submarine into the enormous green monstrosity. The pilot and swordsman prepared to fight, but Vincent was now in a terrible mood. No way was he even bothering to defeat Emerald WEAPON. And certainly no way was he giving his Quadra Magic paired with Knights of the Round Materia back. Even if lives depended on it.

Emerald WEAPON cast Aire Tam Storm on Cloud, who was immediately killed.

"WAHAHA! CID AND VINCENT! I HAVE KILLED CLOUD-"

Vincent had had enough.

"Now hold on a second! You! You!" Vincent screamed at the dead Cloud. "What the FUCK is your problem? You stupid cunt!"

"WOW. YOU'RE REALLY MAD..."

"What the fuck is this? Do you GET OFF ON BEING KILLED? You STUPID BASTARD!"

"EASY THERE, BUDDY..."

"Do you think I don't have a life? Do you think I don't have monsters to fight? I'm a goddamn gunman!"

"DO YOU NEED ME TO STEP OUTSIDE?" Emerald questioned.

"I've killed so many motherfucking 'Unknown' monsters! If I see one more of those goddamn things-"

"THEY'RE JUST DOIN' THEIR JOB, MAN..."

Vincent turned to Emerald WEAPON, drawing Death Penalty onto the green monster. "And don't even get me started on you, you fat fuck!"

"YOU THINK I'M FAT...?"

The gunman turned back to Cloud. "THIS IS THE LAST TIME! THE LAST! GODDAMN! TIME I'M RESURRECTING YOUR STUPID ASS!" He lifted Cloud up and threw him over his shoulder. "We're gonna go home, and guess what you're suckin'? MY BALLS!"

"UM, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO ABOUT THAT FIGHT...?"

Vincent, Cid and an unconscious Cloud were climbing into the submarine. "If you want a fight, go find that fucking retarded Sephiroth! I'M SICK OF THIS SHIT!"

Emerald just stared at them as Cid burst into peals of laughter, Vincent cast a Phoenix Down on Cloud, who had no idea of the profanity he had been subjected to. Vincent then proceeded to scream at him some more while starting up the submarine, and Emerald decided to go wander somewhere. However, Vincent opened the door, fired one single bullet at Emerald, killing him. Cid blinked, having heard the stories of how difficult it was to defeat the WEAPONs. Vincent just gave him a look. There was no time to argue with the gunman, and besides, the pilot wanted to get a good seat when Vincent began to scream at Cloud.
