Sector 1 Mako Reactor
Cloud, Barret, and Tifa infiltrate the Sector 5 Mako Reactor to plant a second bomb. After reaching the core and setting the timer, Shinra ambushes the team with the Air Buster boss on the walkway out. Defeating the boss causes an explosion that sends Cloud plummeting into the slums below.
