They can still shoot through water, Spike. Turks might want to take us back alive, but it doesn't have to be in one piece. And what if they circle around you somehow? Without a weapon you'd be screwed.

[Nothing against Cloud- he's durable and a spitfire, he'd gone head to head with Sephiroth and lived to tell the tale, that counts for a lot. With the mako enhancements, for better or worse, he's even stronger now. But if Zack's worried about taking the Turks on solo, no way is Cloud ready for it. Especially not while he lacks a decent sword.]

If we go, we should go together.
