Zack had been ready for a sudden demonstration of killing. When Austin came after him, he'd dodged out of the way. A stapler to the head was not a tactic he had been expecting; however, and he quickly went down, stunned.

The island definitely wasn't Midgar and as he'd known for some time, his strength wasn't the same. He wondered if a fork could have killed him in Midgar, but then he would have had materia too. And it definitely wouldn't have been a fair fight.

"Uncle," Zack said, very expressively, flailing only slightly so as not to be jabbed by the killing fork. "I should think killing your partner the first day would look badly on your record."
