Raid on Sector 5 Reactor

Cloud looked out of the train’s window. He could barely see the sky. He thought back to outside Midgar, watching Zack walk away from him, confident, for what could have been the last time. He shook his head. They were both fine…



As if to prove Zack’s unspoken point, Zack placed a hand on the blond’s shoulder. Cloud turned his head and was ready to speak when an alarm sounded.



“Shit.” Barret said. “Git going.”



Jessie whispered to Cloud as they moved. “I… I think it’s you guys.”



Zack frowned. “A bit recognizable, are we?”



“I might be wrong…”



The group ran from the train car to the next, then the one after that. Zack was in the lead, pushing people from his path. They reached the third car easily, but then Zack felt an unwelcome hand in his pocket.



“Keep going.” He told the others and went after the thief.



Zack caught the man with no problem.



“Busted?” the man groaned.



“Yup.”



Zack tore the phoenix down from the man’s grip and ran to catch up with the others. They were waiting for him in the fifth car.



“Jump!” Tifa commanded.



Zack winked at Cloud and leaped. The blond followed his example. They landed on their feet easily. Cloud looked around the tunnel.



“Let’s start walking.” Said Tifa.



It seemed to take forever. Green security sensors appeared in front of them eventually. They all stopped.



“Hey look.” Cloud lifted a hatch. “We can go through here.”



Zack smiled. “I have such a smart chocobo.”



Tifa said. “Is this the only way?”



Cloud nodded. “I’m pretty certain.”



“Let’s do this.”



Zack went first. He pulled Cloud in at the last minute. The blond cried out in surprise. At the bottom of the chute, the two men landed in a crumpled heap. They barely managed to move away before Tifa was emerging. Barret followed behind quickly.



After a quick glance around, Zack guided them through the reactor. They clambered up a ladder, crawling through a series of small tunnels. They reached a chute and slid down.



They followed the path to the reactor core. Cloud stepped forward and quickly set the bomb. He turned away.



Zack gripped Cloud’s hand the entire way out of the reactor core. In the elevator, they stood in the corner, away from the others. When it stopped, the group hurried to the control room.



“We have to press them all at once.”



Tifa and Barret took one side of the table, hands poised over the buttons. Cloud took the last one. After two tries, they succeeded. They passed through the door, anxious to be gone.



Footsteps caught them by surprise. “President Shinra.” Zack hissed.



Cloud stared at the man approaching them. It was indeed the head of Shinra. What was he doing here?



The president chuckled. “I hoped to find you all here.” His eyes narrowed. “SOLDIER.”



Zack told him. “Not anymore.”



“Regardless.”



They all heard the mechanic whirr. A metal creature glided up to them. Tifa and Barret jumped back, Zack was pushed towards President Shinra, and Cloud ducked around it.



“Have fun with Air Buster.” Shinra chuckled.



Cloud looked over to see Zack chasing after the president as he boarded a helicopter.



“Son of a bitch.” Zack screamed. “Damn.” He drew his Buster Sword and turned back to the machine.



Cloud was the first to hit it. Air Buster turned on him and counterattacked. Cloud winced in pain, holding up his sword to block the blow. Tifa released a Bolt, attracting its attention again. Zack slashed at it, careful not to be hit by

Barret’s bullets.



Air Buster collapsed in flames. The explosion blew out the walkway beneath it, and Cloud.



“Cloud!” Zack screeched.



Cloud looked up at him, barely holding on. “Zack, don’t worry about me…”



Zack fell to his knees. “No, Cloud, hold on…”



He reached for Cloud. Tifa was doing the same.



Cloud yelled at them. “The bomb’s gonna go off!”



Zack struggled to reach Cloud. “I’m not… leaving you!”



Tifa whispered. “We have one minute…”



Cloud closed his eyes briefly before looking at Zack. He smiled briefly.



“I’ll come find you.” Cloud promised him.



With that, he let go.



“Cloud! No, Cloud, no!” Zack screamed, reaching down still.



Barret said. “We have to go!”



Tifa turned towards Zack. “We’ll find him!”



Zack stood. He jumped across the hole, hurrying past them.



“I have to find him.” He screamed.



He was so scared. At least when he had fought the SOLDIERS, he knew where Cloud was. He could protect him there. But now, he was unsure.



Wait, no, Sector 5…



He knew where Cloud might be.



It was time to go to church.



-T.B.C.-

Cowardly president. Fuck you.

Yeah, so read and review and the like. I'm still looking for pairings- will be until, oh, let's shoot for Kalm. Give me plenty of time to practice writing them together.
