Savior

Bonding as a Team

 Daisey was relieved when the boss battle on the lifts didn't happen, they were much to small for that. When they had reached the bottom, they all saw the army outside the doors. "****! Surrounded huh? If I was alone this wouldn't be a thang but, I gotta reputation to protect."

"There're cars on display in the back," Kunsel suggested, "We could use those to get out."

"Barret!" Tifa called as she ran down the stairs.

"Tifa! Where's Cloud?" Barret asked.

"Everyone over here! Quickly!" They ran to the back of the room as they heard something coming down the stairs, and found a blue truck. They all fit in somehow and Tifa set the car in motion, as Cloud came around with a motorcycle. He led them up the stairs, out one of the windows and onto the freeway. Attacking various other motorcyclists when they tried to stop them while Kunsel, Zack, and Barret defended from the vehicle itself. About a mile or so the road ended, Tifa slammed on the breaks as hard as she could, screeching the vehicle to a stop before it flew off the edge.

"Incoming!!!" Kunsel called.

Everyone jumped out of the vehicle quickly as the machine threw a fireball at them, setting the car alight and causing it to explode and send shrapnel in multiple directions.  When the balst was over Cloud called out, "Everyone okay?"  Everyone agreed except Hollie who groaned, "Hollie!" he rushed over to her and knelt by her side, "Hey, you okay?"

"I feel sick..."

"Where exactly?  What hurts?" he asked as he dug a cure materia from his pocket as Daisey rushed to her side.

"Hollie!"

"Is she okay?" Zack asked.

"I---my ribs...!" she winced.

Cloud had been using the materia on her before he finally relaxed, "She bruised her ribs, but she's fine now..." He looked over to see Kunsel, Barret, and the others doing quite a number on the machine; busting it so much that its head hung off lopsided and was shooting sparks. It finally just collapsed into a heap with a hubcap rolling away before spinning to a stop.

"Well, what do we do now?" Barret asked.

"There you go," Cloud pet her hair as she tried to sit up.

"Thanks," he helped her into a sitting position.

Cloud smiled before looking up to answer Barret's question.  "We go after Sephiroth and Jenova!"

"Yo!  What'd he say?" Zack groaned as Aerith giggled and repeated for him.  "Oh."

They talked about their new adventure as Barret headed to the ledge and scaned the area before grabbing something, "We can climb down with this," he held a thick chain that hung sadly from a crane and seemed to reach down to the skin of the planet.

"You sure that's sturdy?" Kunsel asked inspecting it.

"Seems so," Barret said, "How else we gettin' down?"

"I---I can't do that..." Hollie shivered.

Everyone looked at her. "She's afraid of heights," Daisey explained.

"I'll carry you down," Kunsel said.

"Wha---what!?" she blushed.  "Bu--but--!"

"It---it won't be a problem for me since I'm a SOLDIER," he said embarrassed, he didn't think anything of it until she said that.

"I'll carry her down," Cloud said. They stared at him, "If you don't want Kunsel to carry you down," he added.

"Umm... I---I'll go with you..." she didn't trust Kunsel as much as she trusted Cloud.  Kunsel seemed visibly embarrassed she picked Cloud to go with instead of him.
