There was that intent. Zack could sense it. She did not mean to play nice. While he wasn't sure why it was he that she targeted, he was thankful for it. He was the only one who was armed - the only one who might stand a chance.
While Zack preferred to hold a sword with both hands, he pulled it up one-handed to block the attack. His arm tensed as the two pieces of metal clanged, but he held strong. He had faced people with much more strength behind their attacks than this girl had, after all.
With his free hand, he swung the door open now that the lock had been broken. "Everyone, get inside!" he ordered, not caring who was or wasn't leader at this point. If she meant to have a fight, that was what he would give her... But not with so many other people around who could get caught in the crossfire.
He was certain that Aerith, at least, would protest, but he hoped that she would listen this one time.
