Aerith: “I’ve never thought badly of you. You came for me, didn’t you? That’s plenty right there.”

Here, we’re back in the city of Edge, where Yazoo and Loz are trying to bring down the monument in the middle of town—the meteor constructed by Rufus as a symbol of the survival of the people in Midgar. Tifa also finds out that Denzel is not his normal self—still under the influence of Kadaj—and tries to shake him out of it. Further, we learn that Kadaj is on the roof of a building with Rufus and has summoned a hideous monster to attack the city… Bahamut-Sin. The people begin desperately running around trying to avoid being killed by the beast. Tifa is still trying to get Denzel to get his consciousness back while Reno and Rude seem to be confronting Loz and Yazoo. It’s a most chaotic time but Cloud is nowhere to be found, it seems. Bahamut-Sin then flies into the air and shoots down a huge blast that destroys the Meteor monument and knocks out/kills many people in the process. Denzel is finally back to his normal self after waking up from Bahamut’s attack. Angered that Tifa was injured in the process, Denzel tries to attack Bahamut himself, but out of nowhere, Barret comes to quickly knock him out of the way and attack the beast. Red XIII and Yuffie also come flying down with a parachute to help out Barret. While they’re distracted, four creatures attempt to attack the defenseless Tifa and Denzel. But now Cid comes jumping down from his new ship—the Sierra. Vincent also passes by the two casually as he prepares to take on the monster as well—the entire group is back and ready to defend the city from Bahamut-Sin. Now enters the newly changed Cloud riding up on his motorcycle beside Tifa and Denzel. He gives a very meaningful quote too…

Cloud: “It feels lighter. Maybe I wore it down by dragging it along so much.”

From this comment, we can see Tifa looking at Cloud and starts to smile. She can already tell that he’s no longer the same Cloud who had shut himself off from everyone these past few years. He now had that strength… that same strength that he had two years ago. Cloud was back.

Here we can see that the entire party is going at it against Bahamut-Sin, all at the same time, but they don’t appear to be very effective at all; in fact, none of their attacks appear to be doing any damage at all to the beast. Fortunately, Cloud quickly arrives onto the scene by saving Barret from a blast. It’s now that the entire group pulls back and lets Cloud handle the situation and he does so with ease. This is where we truly begin to see that Cloud has suddenly taken a jump in strength. For all the party’s attacks, Cloud manages to do more damage and faster. He goes head-to-head with Bahamut-Sin, eventually knocking him straight into the ground. Bahamut, sensing that he is not in an advantageous position, goes flying up far above the city and starts to create a blast that would be enough to destroy everything for miles. However, Cloud isn’t about to let that happen. He jumps up to chase after Bahamut, but he cannot get there by himself. The other party members serve to send him higher and higher into the sky, but even with all their power, it still is not enough. The last person needed is Aerith. As seen in Final Fantasy VII, Aerith extends her hand to Cloud and gives him the remaining boost or energy needed to reach the flying monster. Bahamut launches his attack directly at Cloud—it’s huge, FAR, FAR larger than Cloud himself—but luckily he manages to pierce right through its center unscratched! He then jabs the sword into Bahamut’s head and goes running down its spine. Cloud had done it; he had defeated the beast and saved the city of Edge. More than anything, he had proven that his strength was back, that HE was back. He was moving on, overcoming his “sin” and most importantly, being to show his caring toward everyone.
