Tifa vs Cloud - Part 1 (Defeated by her) (Patreon)

-Tifa: Hey Cloud!

Tifa says surprising Cloud, who was worried thinking about the lack of work he is getting recently.

-Cloud: Oh, hey Tifa. 
-Tifa: So... I was thinking, since you're not working a lot recently, what about we train a little bit so you don't get rusty? Maybe some sparring sessions?
-Cloud: Well...That doesn't sound that bad. I guess.
-Tifa: Great! Meet me at the gym Tomorrow!

The next day, Cloud slowly walks until he gets to the Gym of the sector 7 Community. Since he is not working, he decides not to take his sword with him. 
As soon as he arrives, he see Tifa stretching her back in the middle of the ring, with her fingers entangled above her head.

-Tifa: Hey! I can't believe you're really here!
-Cloud: Why wouldn't I?
-Tifa: I don't know. This doesn't seem like something an ex-soldier like you would do. but anyway, glad you came!
-Cloud: So, how is this gonna work?

Cloud asks as he jumps above the ropes and lands near Tifa.

-Tifa: Well...You certainly went through sparring sessions before, right?
-Cloud: Yeah, I mean, when would we know when it's time to stop.
-Tifa: Oh, when you submit.
-Cloud: When "I" submit?

Hearing that kinda hurt Cloud's pride. Does Tifa really think he is that weak? To the point that she doesn't even consider the possibility of losing?

-Tifa: Yeah. Oh Cloud, You don't think you stand a chance against me, do you?
-Cloud: Not only I stand a chance against you, but I know I can defeat you.
-Tifa: Since you're so confident about that, what about we make a bet?
-Cloud: Great. If I win, you will clean my sword for me.
-Tifa: Fair enough. But when I win, you're gonna clean my boots. 
-Cloud: Clean your boots?
-Tifa: Yeah. Are you scared now Mr. ex-soldier?
-Cloud: Ha. You wish.

As soon as the fight starts, Cloud tries to get to upper hand and hit Tifa with some good punches and kicks, But at the first opening she sees, Tifa lands a devastating Kick on Cloud's leg. He feels that the muscles of his leg simply doesn't work anymore, and is forced to get on one knee. He raised both of his hands in front of his face to defend himself, but for his surprise, Tifa does not attack.

-Tifa: Well, You didn't handle that kick so well. I'm gonna give you a chance. Give up now, while I'm still going easy on you.

Cloud doesn't say a word. He just tries his best to get back to his feet, until, after a few attempts, he finally succeeds. Tifa Watches with a small grin on her face.

-Tifa: Have it your way then.

Cloud is back on his feet again, but even though Tifa has her guard completely down by holding her waist, Cloud freezes. He tried to attack her before and got his leg busted. And Tifa notices his reluctance.

Tifa: I guess it's my turn then.

She approaches Cloud before he even notices she moved and tries to land a kick to his head, but he manages to block it thanks to his soldier reflexes. But even though he blocked the kick, Tifa's strenght forces him to bend to the side on the impact and hurt his arm a lot. After another blocked Kick, Cloud is forced to lower his arms because of the pain, leaving completely defenseless and open to a devastating blow. But instead of ending the fight there, Tifa lands another fierce kick to his leg, making him let out a quick scream of pain as he falls on his knee before her again.

-Tifa: Get up.

Cloud tries, but his leg doen't have the strenght to lift his body anymore. Until he feels Tifa's hand grabbing him by his hair and pulling him up to his feet again. 

With his leg shaking, barely being able to stand, Cloud look at Tifa on front of him. While he is almost literally broken, she didn't even break a sweat.

-Tifa: So, regret not accepting my offer yet?
-Cloud: N-no!
-Tifa: Oh, but you will. Remember, you asked for this.

She says right before landing a fierce kick right on his face.
