Weapon Fight
Aeris finally stopped struggling and Cloud let her go gently. For a moment he hoped the kid would live just
so Aeris would lose that awfully depressed expression, but then he realized what he was thinking and
glared out the shattered window waiting for the monster, Emerald Weapon, to reach the shore.
"If Emerald is enraged enough to actually come up on the shore," Nanaki murmured, his fire-red fur in an
angry ridge down his back, "Gohan might have a chance."
A dead silence suddenly fell over the crowd gathered.
"He might have a chance too," Tifa murmured, "if my eyes aren't fooling me."
"WHAT THE #*%$&#$*%&!!" Cloud shouted. "Where the #@#*&#$^% did he go?!!"
"There was brief pause before Yuffie replied, "There!" She pointed up to a person in the sky. Gohan had
positioned himself between Emerald and the beach.
Cloud shifted his weight uneasily. That brat might create enough of a commotion for us to get a preemptive
attack. Not to mention if he actually damages that monster we'd better get in there quick to finish it off."
A couple people nodded as Cloud ran out the door with Tifa and Aeris right behind him.
"They just want a better view," Yuffie stated as though it was fact, to which Vincent groaned.
From the beach below Gohan, Cloud's party had a decent vantagepoint of any battle that might happen.
"This's bad," Aeris murmured, recognizing the weapon's attack, Emerald Shoot. Suddenly a bright beam of
red-gold blasted strait for Gohan.
"Where'd he go!" Tifa murmured confounded. "Was he incinerated?!"
"No," Aeris replied. "There he is! He must've avoided it!"
"IMPOSSIBLE!" Cloud shouted angrily.
"He's doing something!" Aeris hurriedly went on hoping Cloud would be quieter.
"MA"
"What's that? Tifa whispered. "He's saying something. Look! He's gonna use magic; his hands are over
his head."
"SEN"
"What kind of magic could a brat like him have?" Cloud was sounding angrier by the minute.
"KO!!!!!"
A blast much brighter than Emerald's leapt from Gohan's hands and streaked through the weapon. It roared
defiantly as it faded red and slowly turned transparent, eventually vanishing completely.
"IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!" Cloud roared, almost louder than the dying weapon had.
The only thing either of the girls could muster enough strength to say as Gohan flew down by the party
was, "A pretty strong kind." Who was this kid that he could defeat Emerald Weapon so easily?
