Wings [One] - Video

This isn't how I imagined it would be. [Zack picks up one booted foot.] I could've sworn I was flying. [His brow furrows and he shakes his head.] Was that a dream?

Was it all a dream? [He tips his head back and focuses on the sky.] No...I know it wasn't. He's out there somewhere and I'm -

[Now it gets more confusing. On instinct, Zack reaches for his buster sword...and finds it. But hadn't he given it to Cloud?]

Someone is messing with me and you can bet I'll figure it out! [A small smile follows those words and he swings his sword with ease.] I've got my fire back and I know everyone is...safe.

[For the time being.]

Show me what you've got. [His expression becomes almost sly.] Once a SOLDIER always a SOLDIER.

Don't go out of your way to make 'em. [A grin to show he's teasing.]

...it was calmer before? Isn't it always like that? Or, I guess, in my situation, it's more like I just didn't know how bad things could really get.

What kind of solider? [He doesn't get there are capital letters involved.]

Is that any way to treat a newcomer? [He manages to look pitiful.]

Yeah, I guess I was kind of naive too. But - [A heavy sigh.] I wish I could go back to that. It was a lot more fun. [And easier on his heart and head.]

Nah. I was saving that greeting just for you. [He almost feels bad at the expression, though.]

I kinda felt that way. Wanting to go back to the way things were. But...I'm pretty sure they just can't, now.

[There is a long pause of starting.]

That [STARE] is a very big sword.

How friendly. [That's it. Succumb to the puppy pitifulness.]

I suppose you have a point there. I'll just have to...adapt.

[He smiles suddenly, bringing out his Buster Sword.]

This is my Buster Sword. I gave it to someone else, but it...came back.

[Totally succumbing.]

Well, I just meant that for my case. Your case might different. You never know.

Swords do that sometimes. Some of them are loyal.
