 Afterwards, Cloud and Zack were captured by Shinra's corrupt head scientist, Professor Hojo, and experimented upon to test Hojo's Reunion Theory, a facet of the Jenova Project. This experimentation resulted in Cloud becoming as powerful as a 1st Class SOLDIER but also rendered him catatonic. Four years after being deemed failures during the experimentation, Zack eventually escaped with a weak and delirious Cloud in his arms and attempted to flee to Midgar.
-However, Zack was ambushed by a massive army of Shinra troops; despite his best efforts to protect himself and Cloud, Zack was overrun and gunned down, although the troops didn't deem Cloud as a threat and spare him. In ''Final Fantasy VII'' upon regaining some awareness, Cloud finds that Zack was already dying and he crawls over to Zack to take his sword, and then looks over at Midgar in the horizon while in ''Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII-'' Cloud manages to have one final conversation with Zack before his death, with Zack bequeathing the Buster Sword to him and saying that his legacy will live on in Cloud. Mourning the loss of his best friend, Cloud took the Buster Sword with him and trudged onward to Midgar.

 The trauma of these events, combined with Hojo's experimentation, drove Cloud insane; his memories warped, causing him to believe that he was an ex-SOLDIER and to forget that Zack ever existed, essentially replacing him in his mind. At Tifa's behest, he joined her in allying with the second generation of Avalanche led by [[Barret Wallace]], and aided them in their battles against Shinra and a revived Sephiroth alongside allies including [[Aerith Gainsborough]], [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Red_XIII Red XIII], {{s|wikipedia|Yuffie Kisaragi}}, [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Cait_Sith_(Final_Fantasy_VII) Cait Sith], {{s|wikipedia|Vincent Valentine}} and [https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Cid_Highwind Cid Highwind]. Eventually, Cloud discovered that his memories were fake and, with Tifa's aid, came to terms with his past and was able to move on. Despite Sephiroth killing Aerith and Cloud giving him the Black Materia, Cloud and his friends eventually managed to defeat Sephiroth, saving the world.
