Cloud moved his feet before his brain could really catch up. He raised his sword, intending the block the attack as he threw his body between it and it’s intended target-- but it didn’t matter.
He felt it as his sword cracked in half, one half flying off in another direction and the other still gripped in his hand. It did little to protect him now, though.
He could feel the pain blooming in his abdomen, but only distantly; like his mind was protecting him from how bad it really hurt. Cloud opened his mouth and coughed up blood that spurted over his lips and down his chin. His body swayed and he dropped to one knee as blood spread through his shirt, soaking it red in seconds.
He felt the impact when his head hit the ground, too weak to stay kneeling any longer. He opened his eyes to search above him, hoping that Zack at least escaped. That he was okay.
