The blonde SOLDIER breathed deeply as he stared at the body of his fallen foe. It hadn't been an easy fight. He hadn't expected it to be, but then he hadn't expected his buster sword to go missing just before he unleashed the Omnislash upon him. However, he had found a good substitute in its place.
His silver haired opponent had been amused...right up until he took the siege ladder upside the head. The blonde SOLDIER had then proceeded to vent all his pent up frustrations, rage, guilt, and sorrow upon his foe, continuing long after his opponent had dropped his own oversized sword. As he did so, the siege ladder broke up into smaller, more manageable pieces, much like his fallen opponent.
At the end, the last broken piece of wood fell from his hand, and he stared down at the notecard that had appeared with the siege ladder. It promised to return his buster sword...but he found he didn't need it anymore. He had let it all go, and with a clear head and heart, he was ready to face his future. Had it ended with the force of the Omnislash, there would have been unresolved feelings, loose ends in his heart. But now...now he felt cleansed, and he could let go of the darkness in his heart, and his old opponent.
He wondered if Golden Saucer was still standing...and if Tifa wanted to take a trip there.
