Exeter Desperado

Damn!
Tseng had gone after
Dias at least two minutes ago, but there was no sign of either
of them now. Vincent knew he couldn't help them by attempting
to swim, so he tried to think of something else.
If
only I had the Underwater Materia...
"Got any
bright ideas, Vincent?" Karsh asked.
"Maybe..." the
former Turk replied as he moved himself closer to the water.
Just then, he saw a figure floating by. With his metal
arm, he reached down and pulled the man from the water. It was
Ryudo.
"You okay, man?" Karsh asked. Ryudo nodded.
"All right, I have an idea. I might need some help,
though. I don't have a lot of energy left." The two men
nodded, and Vincent continued, "I'm going to freeze a path
through the water and follow after them. Hopefully we'll be
able to catch up to them. The magic should hold long enough, I
think. You two can stay here if you want, and wait for a
possible rescue, or come with me."
Not waiting for
their responses, Vincent cast Freeze on the water, trying to
focus the energy less into a ball and more into a longer
pathway across the water.
Just then, the water's
movement stopped.
Vincent looked up and silently
thanked whoever had done the deed, then slowly stepped out
onto the ice-path he had made on the surface of the water and
hoped it would hold.

No problem, Haze.
Glad you're back.
This is getting really exciting.
Hey Minty, what's with you and that number? It's like
a horrible curse, or something...
Thanks for the help with the water, by the
way...
