Everyone soon landed on the other side, seeing a wasteland of sorts. Building knocked over with people around.

Barret: Two goals! Goal one! Kick some Shinra ass and save the planet! Goal two! Save the girl—while kicking more Shinra ass—and get out!

Cloud: Copy.

Y/n: I'd reverse those two, but I'm a bit selfish this time around.

Collapsed Sector 7 Plate

Barret: Gotta be careful. No tellin' what's gonna collapse or when.

Everyone walked forward as Y/n noticed there wasn't many people. A building next to them collapsed.

Barret: See what I mean?

Neighborhood Watch Member: Hey, you guys might wanna turn around.

Tifa: A friend of ours needs help.

Neighborhood Watch Member: It's too dangerous.

Cloud: For you, maybe.

Y/n; Sorry, but we have to move along.

Neighborhood Watch Member: Do what you gotta...

They climbed under the rubble and kept walking until they went the ladder. Once they got to the top, they were immediately attacked. The flying creatures didn't stand a chance as Cloud used triple slash to knock them to the side. Y/n span his sword in his hand before releasing a Solar flame that burnt them. Barrett looked at him.

Barret; I never did ask...what's the deal with your new sword?

Tifa: Yeah, I was wondering the same.

Y/n let out a small gasp of realization before closing his mouth and looking at it.

Y/n: After I broke my sword, the lifestream helped me make another...I guess this one is more suited for me.

Barret: Seems like this lifestream stuff is pretty OP, think it can take us to Aerith?

Y/n: (chuckles) I'm not sure it's that OP.

Barret: Aw man.

Tifa:(giggles) Worth a shot.

They climbed up more ladders and soon ran into creatures. Cloud used Fira to burn then, as Barret did the same. Tifa was boosted in the air by Y/n as she performs a shoulder barge attack towards a creatures. She follows up by kicking them, diving and kicked them towards Cloud. Cloud unleashed a wave of non-elemental mako energy at the crows in front of him with a slash, killing them.

Y/n: Wow, go team.

Everyone kept climbing ladder, wouldn't you know it. More monsters. Y/n slashes his sword down to his right, he then spins while slashing at a creature. Y/n then raised his hand and casted Thundaga, sending lighting all over. Y/n then crouched down, the creatures flew at him as Y/n was suddenly behind them. A flurry of slashes came out as Y/n smirked at them. They climbed up the ladder as  the camera pans up to a skyscraper by the plate.

Tifa: So that's where we have to climb?

Barret: If it comes apart while we're up there...(imitates falling and splatting)

Cloud: We've made it through worse, you know.

Barret: Yeah, no kidding. It's a miracle we haven't been killed a dozen times over by now.

Y/n: I'd say it's luck.

They crawled through the fallen metal pillar.

Y/n: It's a dead end.
