One of the people who knows Cloud better is going to his aid, so good. Kaji keeps back, he's almost an extra quantity in this situation, but he hopes that makes him better equipped to see this entire thing clearly. Attack her now, or goad her into attacking now, and her other friends will actually end up defending her...

Unless, of course, one of those friends seems to be determined to antagonize her. Kaji does a double-take at Yuffie (another one who's just a kid, why does this keep having to fall to people so young?) and his hand starts to go out to stop her, but he draws it back. 'This is really you?'

Kaji's question goes out to everyone. "Is this actually your friend that we're looking at, here? Or is this just more of the magic that's been jerking us all around since we got here? Showing you all the one face you won't attack?"

MarKus was glad to blurt out his two cents now that Tifa had rather openly declared her intent on attacking.

All that bravado to put him in higher spirits and he turned out right after all!

"I think it's brain washing." he states, putting his hands on the handle of the long hammer. But she was a stranger to him entirely. Her friends were around and already Yuffie was on the side of 'she's being a B'. "So... if you're against knocking some sense in, or out, of her... I can only see this going horribly wrong." Even when trying to pick his words so he didn't upset anyone who could easily cleave him in half... he probably stuck his foot back in his mouth anyway.

Cloud had used the megalixir he was given, but it hadn't stopped the corruption in his arm. It wasn't a question of vitality, nothing that the mixture could fix, and far beyond the capabilities of a Remedy or anything of the like as well. Whatever was going on here, he could only hope that solving this would fix it, but doubt was beginning to creep in. Even so, he gently declined the offer of Zack's potion, at least for the moment.

When he glanced back at Kaji and MarKus on the other hand, there was a pained expression on his face. 'Is this the girl you know?' No, she wasn't. She was older. She looked like she had been through more. This wasn't the Tifa he knew, but he knew her well enough to know that it WAS still her. "I...She's..." He closed his eyes and looked away and his hand settled on the grip of his gunblade.

But he wasn't about to betray them. He wasn't sure what was going on, or what was even the right path, but all of this just felt wrong. He didn't want to draw on her, but attacking the others wasn't an option either. He glanced at Zack and met his best friend's eyes. He would try to talk her down, but if it came to a fight...if it came down to a killing blow...he wasn't going to be able to do it...

"Tifa." He stood straight as he could muster, pushing back the pain, "Please don't do this. Stand aside. I don't want to fight you."

The fabric of her mitts are tightened, raising her extended arm and drawing it closer to herself. She tugs twice on the sleeve of the glove, extending her fingers then clenching them as knuckles crack with a resounding echo. Eyes lower, looking to the glowing orb that resonates around her trained weapon.

When her eyes look back to Cloud again, they no longer hold the same amber color he's known. A flash of red, the hue of fresh blood, now colors her vision as she looks deep within Cloud, piercing past his gaze to strike at his heart with words to support her cause.

"I thought better of you. You'll never be a hero if you cling to these people. You're trapped in a lie, and you're too stupid to see it any other way."

With a step forward, the woman dips into a fighting stance. Not even once does she flinch or blink at the uneven numbers around her. It was a crowd against her, but the weight of her purpose was like an army pushing her forward.

"Come on, then. If you won't listen, then I'll beat the truth into you. I'll break every bone, crush your ribs, smash your skulls, if that's what it means to save this world."

There was a soft laugh from the young ninja as she stepped forward. "Does that mean you are a hero? Those who destroy the things they want to protect cannot be called heroes." It was a topic that she was passionate about and she couldn't sit still after hearing Tifa's resolve.

She didn't care if they were 'friends' or if it was someone Cloud was close to. Tifa had crossed a line and it wasn't just her purpose. If she was only trying to fight for what she believed in Yuffie could respect that but this wasn't that.

Her words were like daggers. She didn't know if Tifa was trying to hurt them or convince them, either way it was wrong. "Let me show you what a hero is like."

Yuffie flicked one of her new blades to her hand and threw it out towards Tifa. It looked as if it would hit but it was clear the little blade wasn't coming back like it should. "MarKus!" He did say they were tests but having to reach into her bag messed up her rhythm.
