Theme: #57 - “Azure”
Warnings: None, really.

Bullets are flying as the damned creature flies around, swooping and shrieking. He jumps out of the way just as it lurches for him, and he finds himself airborne for a mere second and lands on it during its attack.

There are shouts from all sides of him--Yuffie is yelling obscene things at it while Cid growls at it. Barrett is firing round after round at it as he’s dodging debris from the buildings above and Cloud is--

Cloud.

Suddenly, Cloud is lurching up higher--being tossed up one person at a time--he’s boosted by Yuffie and Vincent knows that he’s next.

He spares the sky one quick glance before he jumps out off the rafter and is by Cloud’s side in a second. They make eye contact for a mere second--precious blue gems shimmering with coldness and determination.

Vincent grabs his hand and throws him into the azure sky with all the energy he can muster, shouting “Fly!” as he falls back down to the ground with the world whistling past his ears.

It’s all up to Cloud now.
