A/N: Whoa this is short! Anyhow, I thought Zack was the appropriate one for 'Save'. Zack's always wanted to be a hero, saving people and innocents, right? And in a way, he saved Cloud in a lot of ways. I'm glad Square has a character like Zack. He's so loveable and awesome, but I'm also glad that they made his story a tragic one. After all, not all heroes last, right? Sometimes, that's what makes them a hero in the end.

He smiled a little as he thought of the semi-comatose blonde behind the rocks he was, at the moment, protecting from harm. Yes. He closed his eyes as he positioned the Buster sword in front of him, resting his forehead on the cool steel. He was finally being a hero.
"Follow your dreams, and…whatever happens…protect your honour…as SOLDIER!" His eyes snapped open and he brought the blade back as he started to run towards the hordes of enemies in front of him, wondering and not caring if he had once trained them himself. They were the enemy now.
It was about time that Zack repaid Cloud for that time in Modeoheim. His eyes became determined as he prepared a battle cry. Yeah. This time…Zack would save Cloud.
"Come and get it!"
