Angeal doesn't have to wait long. Cloud springs into action with impressive swiftness, even without his SOLDIER speed. While he doesn't have the fine-tuned form any First worth their ranking should have, there is a spirit and technique behind it that stands out- and may or may not look a little oddly familiar. Especially when the blond raises the stick up above his shoulder in one hand just before dashing ahead. He attacks with a raw, unrefined lunge towards Angeal's right shoulder, bringing his second hand back to the stick's 'hilt' to drive it forwards faster and with extra force.

Very much an all-or-nothing strike.
