Turned a cat into a slushie? For a moment Zack had to wonder at how Tifa had pulled something like that off, but he remembered the Ice Materia and suddenly it made sense. It was still a real shame that they didn't have a Cure on hand, especially since it was possible that Taura had one. He glanced over toward the woman in question but realized that she'd been joined by someone already.

They'd be fine without it, he decided. She probably didn't have the Materia on her and he wasn't going to make her run back to her room and get it when there was so much excitement in the air. It was possible that Taura was just as excited to go kick some ass as Zack was.

At the mention of soldiers, Zack gave a grim smirk and then glanced upward as he thought it over. "I wonder if they'll be running around trying to put us down or if they've already retreated." They wouldn't be very good soldiers if it was the latter, but Zack didn't even know if any of them had powers. If they didn't, then it would amount to a pretty unfair fight, wouldn't it?

As for where they should go, that was trickier. Zack had to agree that this area around here seemed to be under control. In fact, the sound of someone singing filtered through and the next thing he knew, most of the neary monsters suddenly fell into a deep sleep. "My instinct is to head outside, but I'm up for anything. We can probably cover a lot of ground, so we could maybe start on the second floor and then head out after that." Maybe he was being ambitious, but he figured he had a right to be considering the circumstances.
