Shulk was hunting down Metal Face until he came across a mysterious location and lost track of Metal Face.
Shulk: I'm...seeing something.
The vision showed Metal Face about to kill Shulk and he was completely helpless.
Shulk: I can change the future.
Shulk looked at the signs around and realized he was in a place called Midgar.
Shulk: Midgar, huh? All these buildings...Metal Face is sure to be hiding here.
Soon, Metal Face came flying in above Shulk and landed in the background on top of the Shinra Building, making him a faraway target.
Metal Face: Hehehehehe. Looks like Monado Boy is so confident in defeating me this time.
Shulk: (To himself) There's something different...It's affecting the Monado!!
Metal Face: That's right. I'm going through an ether flow! That waste of a sword has no effect on me!
Shulk would then have the same vision of his demise, yet this time, he someone with spiky hair, saving his life.
Shulk: (To himself in his head) The future is...changing.
Then, a red floating orb appeared behind him.
Shulk: Alvis! What is this?
Alvis's Voice: This is Summon Materia. It will summon various that will aid you in battle.
Shulk: If the Monado won't work. This'll do.
Shulk used the Summon Materia and summoned Ifrit. Ifrit used Hellfire, but the fire damage did not affect Metal Face.
Metal Face: What're think you're doing then? Fire damage is useless to my superior armor.
Shulk then summoned Ramuh, who used Judgment Bolt. Metal Face dealt with tender damage.
Metal Face: This is only the beginning. There is one way you can stop me!!!!
Metal Face shot a laser towards Shulk, which he dodged, and summoned Odin. Odin used Zantetsuken and striked Metal Face, who barely blocked it.
Metal Face: You thought that feeble blade could knock me down? Guess again!!
From a distance, a young man with blonde spiky hair, blue eyes, and a long sword, noticed the danger.
Meanwhile, Shulk summoned Leviathan trying to sink Metal Face into oblivion. Metal Face was able to dodge Leviathan's Tsunami by flying upwards.
Metal Face: Wow, it's like you're not even trying.
Shulk: I'll make you eat those words!
Shulk, hoping to use his last summon responsibly, summoned Bahamut ZERO. Bahamut ZERO used Teraflare and created devastation in the area while delivering a very severe blast to Metal Face. He was very angry.
Metal Face: I've played you like a pawn for the last time! NOW, DIE!!!
Metal Face came charging at Shulk. Shulk was then saved by a man named Cloud. Cloud striked Metal Face from the back.
Cloud: Never thought I'd see the day...That a fellow swordfighter would fall victim to his enemy.
Shulk: Who are you?
Cloud: I'm Cloud, Cloud Strife. Just a friend who's here to help.
Metal Face was then fighting Cloud alone.
Cloud: Bring it on.
Cloud went in for a Forward Aerial, Up Tilt, Spotdodge, and Back Air. Then a Standard Attack, Up Aerial, and knocked off Metal Face's left leg with a Down Aerial Meteor Smash. Metal Face knocked him down.
