Zack's POV….
"Hmm..freedom doesn't come cheep, doest it?" Zack whispers to himself in front of the Shin-ra Army.
"Well" as he raises the Buster Sword to his face "Even though how much it costs, at any price I HAVE TO PROTECT MY HONOR, AS SOLDIER!" he cries as he charges the infantry men. "Come and get it!" even with these odds the boy retains his cocky personality.
"HIYAA!!" He shouts as he parries, dodges and cuts down every infantry man his sword could reach.
Using his material he casts Firaga and Tri-Thundaga with all his practiced speed and precision although sometimes forgetting to cast Curaga or Regen.
"Haaa!" he shouts as he slices through another wave of melee combatants, "Huh! They should have thought better than to send these mere grunts to challenge me!" and proceeds to break another's face, leaving the man unconscious.
Time grew on starting at mid-day and now only a quarter of the army was left standing it was nearly sundown and if he didn't finish it now it would be harder to end during the night, and to make thinks worse it started to rain.
"Great just great, almost zero visibility because of the darkness now movement will be restricted, damn, I might not make it" he jokes to himself "Nah, I'll make it, I still have to see Aerith" He smiles then charges once again dodging every bullet and missile they shoot at him, it's a good thing that there were only few gunners in the army and none of them are that good of a shot.
"They so made a mistake in making me their enemy" Zack tells himself. As the night has fallen only three infantry men stood standing heh.. Now they're goin down!" as he rushed the infantry men the man he knocked unconscious stood up raised his gun at the SOLDIER operative and shot him in the back. Zack stumbles and the three took the opportunity to shoot him they emptied they're magazines at him although he dodges most of them it still leaves him almost dead, fearing that Zack might still stand up they reported a mission success and headed back to Midgar, leaving the critically wounded Zack and the hidden Cloud.
Zack thinks he is dying just about this time Cloud awoke from Mako addiction he drags his still weakened body to Zack. "Zack…"
"Hey Cloud….glad to…see you awake….this…time" Zack weakly replies.
"Hey man c'mon you have to live, you had a dream remember?" Cloud reminds his friend.
"No Cloud….haha..cough..You're the one that's gonna live…you" he states as he reaches for Cloud's head, "You are..going…to be…my" deep breaths " liv..ing Legacy" Zack reaches for the Buster Sword.
"Here your going to need this…all my dreams and ambitions…they are yours now…." Zack tells Cloud.
"Go, before the army comes back", he pushes Cloud away not wanting to see him cry, "oh and Cloud could you tell them…that..I…became…a hero?" he finally states before closing his eyes…as he opens them he doesn't see Cloud anymore the rain was gone, the sky was clear he thought he was in heaven already but he could still feel pain, it was excruciating, but wait something was coming to his direction, it was something big wait he could hear a voice.
"Reno get the Materia! Quick.. I need to cast heal as soon as possible!" It was a woman's voice slightly familiar to him..he thought Aerith?..no Aerith never went outside of Midgar and she wouldn't know where he was.
"Quickly! Board him to the copter we will head on to Kalm or Corel, it is not safe for him to be brought to Midgar right now" another voice yells, wait I know that one, it's Tseng's right? So the Turks still got me huh? Damn! I cant even fight them..my body is aching so much….ohh.. Zack completely phases out..
Tseng's POV…
His wound are deep although the shallower ones are continuing to heal he will need more advanced medical care if he is to survive. We cannot return him to Midgar else the President finds out about him. Perhaps Aerith could…no..she will be devastated if she finds out about this. she will not be able to bear him like this.
"Have you cast Curaga already?" he asks the woman beside Zack's stretcher.
"Yes Tseng. I'm not SOLDIER or Aerith but I can cast material too you know?" the woman replies.
"Sorry Cissnei I know how you feel about Zack…You even started a fan club for him right?"
Cissnei blushes then replies, "Yeah, how did you know about that? Good thing Zack's SOLDIER right?" she quickly changes the subject.
"Yes the Mako in his body is healing most of the wounds but still the deeper wounds still need better cure, Curaga wont do much for him except prolong his life, it wont heal him entirely" he finishes with a frown.
"don't worry Cissnei we will find some old cure, oh and Reno, head for Gongaga, his mother can cure him and we will bring him to Midgar after he still has unfinished business, we could not find the other one, Cloud was it?" Tseng asks Cissnei.
"yes that is what Zack called him, I think if Cloud could have entered SOLDIER Zack would have been perfect as his mentor" Cissnei replies. " I wonder where he is now?" she finishes.
"Ain't that for Zack guy to find out?" Reno suddenly states.
"Yes but still. I just wondered if he is alright last I saw him he had a bad case of Mako addiction"
"you worry too much Cissnei, by the way when can we start using your real name? when do you plan to tell him your real name huh?" Reno asks Cissnei with a sly grin on his face.
"I don't know yet. Well ill be here watching over him if anyone needs me" She states before Reno could ask anymore questions.
