Zack walked down one end of the train, then back the other. He continued this for a few minutes, before Cloud finally said,
"Don't do that...you're making me nervous.."
"Don't do what?" Zack asked.
"Pacing.." Cloud replied.
"...I can't help it. This train is so damn slow!" Zack said. Cloud grinned. A few minutes later, Zack continued his pacing. Cloud, annoyed, said,
"Zack, sit down. It's not going to go any faster, damn it!" Zack turned to him in surprise. Cloud knew he shouldn't talk to Zack that way, but he was annoyed. "You shouldn't talk to your superiors, or elders like that.." Zack said, his expression irritated. But then he walked to Cloud.
"I'll let it pass this once.." he said, then leaned down next to Cloud's head, and whispered, "..for a kiss.." Cloud immediately pushed him away.
"What?! Are you out of your mind, Zack Fair?" he exclaimed. Zack backed off, smirking, slightly shaking his head. But when he realized Cloud was serious, and his expression wasn't changing, Zack's expression changed to disappointed and upset. He walked off, into the next train-car. Cloud watched him go, hearing every loud step. He didn't mean to make Zack upset. Cloud sat in silence- horrible silence, for at least 20 minutes, before Zack returned. "..so, do you know what we're doing?" he asked. Cloud shook his head.
"This town has been raided by some monsta's.." Zack said, getting his hyper mind back in motion. "..we're gonna clear 'em out..k?" Cloud nodded. The train stopped, and they stepped out. "Nice town.. but where's the--" Zack said, but then a monster jumped behind him, and pulled him down.
"Gah!.THERE you are.." Zack said, getting up. He attacked the monster within seconds. "..easy.." he said, and ran to get the rest. He didn't give Cloud a warning, or tell him what to do, so he stood there, watching Zack swiftly move about the town, slashing every creature that was referred to as "The Almighty Non-Human Warriors", by the townspeople. Then Cloud lost sight of Zack, looking around nervously. He jumped and screamed, as something touched his shoulder.
"Relax.. it's just me.. " Zack said.
"Holy s***, Zack.. you almost gave me a friggin' heart attack!" Cloud shouted.
"Sorry.." Zack said. Cloud nodded, his terrified and strange face, changing to a smile. "They're gone..we can go now.. hah, that was easy enough. They should have sent in infantrymen, rather than 1st Class SOLDIERS.." Zack said.
"Uh.. Zack?" Cloud said. "I mean, it's so easy! How can Shinra consider-" Zack said.
"Zack..." Cloud continued.
"-[these monsters] hard? A child could beat the friggin' thi-" Zack said.
"Zack!" Cloud said louder.
"..anyone could beat them.." Zack continued.
"ZACK!!" Cloud yelled, and Zack finally stopped talking.
"What?" "TURN AROUND! THEY'RE NOT ALL GONE!" Cloud shouted. An over-sized monster hit Zack across the face with it's claws as Zack turned around. "..oh no you di'n't.." Zack said, and began to fight it, Cloud backing up. Except- blades against monster-skin and claws stopped, but Cloud still heard the growls of the monster. He peered around the corner of where he was standing. Zack was on the ground, breathing heavily, and bleeding. He barely held his sword up, and the monster went to strike. Cloud jumped in, trying to be fearless, hitting the monster from behind (critical strikes). But as Cloud was not as strong as Zack, he had his sword knocked from his hands, and fell backwards. 'This is it.. this is our death..' Cloud thought, beginning to blank out. Suddenly he heard an effort-ful slice, and a loud fall. Cloud hardly opened his eyes, seeing Zack barely standing, bleeding exceedingly. Then Cloud blanked out.
