WATER GIANT

Barret directed a stream of water towards Cloud, eliciting a cheer from his daughter on her perch atop his broad shoulders as it broke upon the swordsman's form.

"Barret, give me a hand, will ya?" Yuffie called out. He turned in time to see her plunge below the ocean's surface.

"Papa, you gotta save Auntie Yuffie!" Marlene urged, gesticulating at the submerged ninja. Barret focused his magic, lifting Yuffie to her feet. She said her thanks, giving him a thumbs-up before returning to the fray.

A barrage of liquid pellets struck Barret's chest, drawing his attention towards the far-off Vincent.
