[Kunsel curses when that shot slips past his defenses to strike Zack in the arm. Dammit, his reflexes almost aren't worth shit like this, not when he's not the one in control of which way he's moving right now. He can't even see which way they're going, too focused on the enemies behind them to risk looking over his shoulder for what's ahead.
But now's not the time to focus on what he can't control. Gritting his teeth, he whips his sword back to intercept another attack. The monster dodges, but that's fine. He just needs a second, needs a moment, needs to think. Needs time to charge another lightning spell, because even though it's almost as bad an idea as Quake is, what with all the water everywhere-
Wait.
Water.
Water everywhere, flooding out of its channel, splashed on the walls with every footstep, and in the handful of materia Kunsel brought with him for this is-]
Zack! Pick path that narrows! I'm gonna block it with an Ice spell!
[He's already switching which spell he's charging up, letting it build and whine in his veins, no matter how long it takes before they're in a place he can cast it.]
