[Cloud isn't sure he would ever give it back, even if asked. The sword is important for a lot of reasons. He plans on making it the sword that takes Sephiroth down once and for all. Maybe then he could give it back...]

Want me to show off?

[He can. If he feels like it. With a nod, he starts heading where indicated.]

[activatingcombatmode]

Yep. You're the one with the sword.

[He gives Cloud a quick wink. To be honest he's really interested in seeing how much Cloud has actually changed and improved. He's not the bright-eyed boy he used to be. Especially not the one who failed to get into SOLDIER anymore.

The path they go is pretty deserted so far. But it shouldn't take them too long to hear some odd clanking armour marching about.]

[actuallyadork]

I'll try not to disappoint.

[Don't wink and make things weird... It should be obvious he's improved somewhat since he can actually lift the damn thing. But hey, bioenhancements does that to people.

Cloud slows down as he listens.]

...... it's close.

[activatingcombatmode]

[He's not making things weird!! He's being. Cool. He, honest to goodness, wants to see how Cloud has come along as a fighter. He has high hopes and expectations. Angeal would probably comment on him acting like this.

There is a clunking noise in the distant. It's rattling and noisy and easy to find out which direction it's coming from. Zack gives a nod and points.]

Let's give it the jump before it notices us first.

[actuallyadork]

[Cloud holds an arm out.]

I'll give it the jump.

[You're not exactly quiet, Zack.]

[activatingcombatmode]

[W O W]

... Alright, hot shot. Go for it.

[actuallyadork]

[Hey. He's got practice now against stuff like this. Let him work.

Cloud nods and starts heading towards the noise, hand on the hilt of his sword. He's hoping Zack stays back. Hoping. Not going to put it past the other to try and follow.]

[activatingcombatmode]

[Zack can't help but grin as he watches Cloud get so serious. He's still so used to Cloud being the one following him instead of the other way around. Honestly, it's a breath of fresh air. He's good about it too, hanging back with his hands on his hips.

Meanwhile, the clunking noise gets louder but it's an even slow pace as it hasn't noticed anything yet. Then the armor comes sauntering around the corner with a very large broadsword hefted in its empty gauntlet.

Zack let's out a small impressed whistle. But it's quiet and doesn't get the thing's attention. More than likely because it doesn't actually have ears.]

[actuallyadork]

[That.... well, it's not something Cloud can't take down. Maybe.

But is it a fair fight if it's missing its head? Cloud grabs his sword and swings it forward as he watches the creature.]

Now what...

[activatingcombatmode]

Now ...

[Zack nonchalantly crosses his arms over his chest.

Meanwhile, the armour turns and catches 'sight' of them with a grinding sound as metal shifting against metal.]

Now you take it out. It likes sword fights, right?

[Because it's lifting that large as hell broadsword right now!]

[actuallyadork]

You make it sound like it'll be an easy fight. The thing has no head.

[Which would be a great way to see where it might swing. Cloud gets ready to defend himself as he looks the armor over.

Could go for the legs. Let's see how fast this sucker will swing, first.]

[activatingcombatmode]

[Zack has to jump to the side as the large walking armour takes a heavy swing at Cloud! It is a horizontal slash intending to take Cloud out at the waist. Luckily it's fairly slow but if it hits it might be pretty lethal. IT favours strength over speed, for sure.]

Yeah, but it's just a pile of scrap in the end!

[Zack feels his fingers twitch with a want to fight. But for now, he'll let Cloud handle it. He's watching!]

Don't be afraid to use a spell or two as well, Cloud!

[actuallyadork]

[Cloud uses the sword to take the hit, letting the flat of it act like a shield. He slides to the side with the force till his feet stop. Okay... so this thing has a hefty hit. Pushing back at the blade till he can shove it away, Cloud steps forward to slash upwards.]

If you know what magic to use, I'm all ears!

[activatingcombatmode]

Have you learned anything with thunder or fire yet?!

[Zack picks the moment that Cloud strikes the armor and makes it stumble backwards to jump up at the creature and grab onto its non-sword arm. He yanks with unusually high strength which pops the arm right off.

But then it starts to blindly swing at Cloud again. Zack quickly lands on his feet and throws the arm piece down.]

[actuallyadork]

Both.

[As impressive as that was, Cloud now has the parry blows to keep from getting hit.]

I need time to cast!

[Which he's not getting!!!]
