Cloud grabbed a small ammo pack from the boot of the SUV. He tossed it over to Lightning who clipped it onto her gunblade holster. He holstered the Energy Blaster onto his back, by his sword. A massive explosion nearby stopped the group from moving. The black Bahamut flew above them, seemingly paying no attention to the group that was due to destroy them.
"We will take Serah back to the home and make sure she is fine," smiled Toshiko. Cloud nodded and straddled his bike and revved it up. Lightning swung her leg onto Clouds' bike and gripped onto Clouds' t-shirt. Cloud pulled the throttle and shot over a wall and drove onto the streets. Speeding through the streets, dodging the falling debris and blasts from the dragons. Cloud pulled his bike up into a wheelie and smacked against a wall. Cloud forced the bike to drive up the building. Lightning gripped on tighter than ever. Cloud sped up the building dodging the blasts from the dragons and the fireballs from the mysterious creature. Cloud shot up at the top of the building, and leapt off the bike. Lightning leapt off after him, both of them landing safely on the roof of a building beside the Valentine building. On the roof of the Valentine building stood a tall slender figure and a tall muscular figure. Cloud brought his sword in front of him from its' holster. Lightning flipped her gunblade into sword form. The two figures leapt off the roof onto the smaller buildings roof. The muscular figure stood up in front of Cloud. His eyes were pure blood red instead of the blue colour that Cloud once seen them.
"Z... Z... Z... Zack?" whimpered Cloud looking into Zacks' evil eyes.
"Cloud? Did you enjoy spearing me with my sword?" questioned Zack, his voice full of anger and hatred towards his younger adoptive brother.
"I needed to make you normal again, get rid of that mark on your back!" cried Cloud.
"This mark saved my life more times than I can count!" growled Zack. The mystical fire creature leapt over to Zacks' side, "this is Ifrit, my best friend." Cloud tightened his grip on his sword, his hands clamming up. Zack thrusted his hand into the air and a ball of fire emerged into his hand. The fireball formed into a two blades souba. Zack leapt towards Cloud, his souba thrusted towards Cloud. Cloud dodged backwards and backflipped. Lightning leapt towards Zack and began slashing at him. Zack deflected every attack from Lightning with ease. He knelt down to the ground and spun around and kicked Lightning, flooring her. Zack looked down to Lightning and pointed his souba at her. Cloud ran up behind Zack and thrusted his sword at him. Zack spun on his heel and smacked Cloud on his back with the butt of his souba. Cloud fell face first onto the rooftop gravel. Cloud grunted as Zack stomped his foot onto his back. Lightning flipped onto her feet, flipped the gunblade back into the gun form and aimed it at Zack. She pulled the trigger three times, each bullet being deflected by Zacks' souba. Cloud climbed to his feet and threw his sword at Zack. Zack spun and impaled Cloud through the stomach. Zack pushed Cloud off his blade and swiped it at the floor, flicking the blood off the sword. Lightning pulled the trigger once more, blasting a hole in Zacks head. Zacks lifeless body slumped to the floor beside Clouds dying body. Cloud coughed and spluttered blood out of his mouth. Lightning dropped her gunblade and ran over to Cloud. Lightning lifted Clouds head onto her lap, stroking his face. She pressed a button on her headset.
"Tosh... iko... I need... an... airlift... now!" cried Lightning sobbing while talking. She bent over and kissed Clouds lips.
A gust of wind broke Lightnings concentration on Cloud. Looking up she saw Owen bringing a helicopter down to the rooftop. The beast that was with Zack had turned to dust, Zacks' mark was gone. Ianto and Owen rushed Clouds body onto the helicopter, Lightning dragging Zacks behind them. The helicopter took off and sped to the house. The three dragons sitting on the Valentine building, staring at the helicopter.
