"Alright you bastard, you've really done it now," Saori braced herself with her sheathed sword when the attack hit. She refused to give in now after coming this far. If beating Garland to a pulp was the key, then so be it. Without missing a beat, she cast Shushin on herself in the hopes of raising her chances of dodging and closing the distance.

As she got closer, she pulled out Laguna's machine gun and started firing at Garland. Sure the damage output would be weaker, but it's a start.
