Ena's POV 3

The neutralization of Banora was nothing but a sore sight to see. Bomb shells flew in every which way, destroying everything in sight and engulfing everything in flames. If there were ever a time I doubted ShinRa's motives, now was one of those times.

As I stood waiting at the helicopter's boarding plank, Zack morosely remianed several feet away, scanning the dying landscape around us.

Much to my dislike, a large, beautiful Banora White was being eaten alive by a roaring wave of orange, the dumb apples charring and falling idly to the fire scorched earth.

I sadly sighed and watched as Zack turned away from the sight in disgust and briskly entered the helicopter.

Lifting up and folding away the boarding plank, I slipped inside of the chopper myself, a faint "Angeal..." escaping Zack's lips.

Whatever had happened out there, I hadn't the slightest clue. Yet, I knew it had been nothing good. The mission had been dubbed a success, however...

Why did it feel like such a loss?

Ah, this was too short! X3 But I decided to get it up before Mid-term studying began...TwT

Though small in length, this chapter was another one of my favorites. In the original Crisis Core, the emotion in the scene where Zack watched as Banora burned to the ground was really powerful and left a lasting impact on me.

Well, that's all for now... next up is Akkun, and his continuing search for love!
