 "Hey, its okay.  I'm not gonna hurt you." she turned to see a spiky headed blonde.

"Cloud!?" The two said at the same time.

"Umm, do I know you?" Cloud asked.

"Umm..." Daisey started.

"Hey Cloud! It's your buddy Zack!"

Cloud looked at the mog, "Is that a robotic doll---? Nevermind," he shook his head, "It's too dangerous here. Go back to your family and get out of Sector 7!"

Tears pricked at the corner of her eyes. "Cloud! What the heck! I was talking to you buddy!" Zack said.

Cloud seemed to ignore him, and looked at her concerned, "What?"

"I can't..." she said looking down, "My only family got kidnapped by the Turks."

"I---I'm sorry..."

"Take me with you!! I have to get her back!!" she grabbed his shirt.

"What?" he shook his head confused.

"Come on Cloud!" Tifa called, "We have to get going!!"

"I have to go! I'm sorry. I can't help you," he said running up the stairs with her following.

"He totally ignored me!" Zack said angrily.

"I don't think he meant it. He doesn't remember you cause of the mako poisoning and various other things, basically he thinks he's you."

"Wh--what!? The mako poisoning made him think he's me!?"

"Sort of."

Cloud finally noticed she was following when the enemy aimed an attack at her, he panicked and jumped in front of her shielding them with the buster blade. He knocked the enemy away, "Get out of here!"

"No!"

"Go!"

"No!" She said running up to the top with Cloud and Tifa in pursuit. She saw Barret shooting at the Turks helicopter. She ran past him to the control panel. "We have to protect the control panel Zack, they're going to try to set a bomb here."

As she said that Cloud grabbed her shoulder and turned her, "Are you suicidal!?"

"No, I'm not!" she said turning. Cloud suddenly pushed her behind him when he saw Reno jump out of the helicopter.

Upon seeing her Reno whistled, "I'll definitely be getting a raise for bringin' you in!"

Daisey stepped back slightly, "Where's Hollie!?"

"Receiving our full hospitality," He smiled.

"Reno! Back off!" Zack warned.

Reno looked at Zack, "Hmm... Looks just like Reeve's doll... Yo, is 'Kupo' all it can say?"

Zack looked confused, "Kupo?"

Daisey would've laughed if the situation had been different. "You're not taking down the pillar!" Barret shouted.

"Actually I am."

"Why would you murder thousands of innocent people!? Don't you have a conscience?" Daisey yelled.

Reno hesitated for a moment, "I was born and raised a Turk."

"So because of your allegiance you're willing to mass murder innocent people?" she asked.

"I---."

"Reno! Hurry up!" Tseng called from the helicopter.

"R---right boss!" He used a pyramid beam on Cloud and ran over to the console.
