Sapphire Weapon

==Summary==
One of the eight Weapons created by the Planet to respond to the threat Jenova, the Calamity from the Skies, brought with her arrival and a subsequent wave of destruction to the world and its inhabitants at the time, the Cetra. However, as Jenova was sealed shortly after their creation, the weapons didn't need to interfere, thus they entered a deep slumber to watch Jenova and await the day the Planet would need them again.
The Weapons' function is to eliminate any threats to the Planet, regardless of what it is. In the past the summoning of Zirconiade caused the Jade Weapon to be dispatched, and in the present, the threat of Sephiroth's return and the summoning of Meteor led to another five: Ultimate, Diamond, Sapphire, Ruby, and Emerald to awaken. But as Sephiroth hid behind a barrier in the Northern Crater, the Weapons focus their attention on the next biggest threat harming the Planet: humankind.
After awakening, the Sapphire Weapon attacked the seaside city of Junon but was unceremoniously destroyed when Junon's cannon blew off its head.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: , likely 
Name: Sapphire Weapon
Origin: Final Fantasy VII
Gender: Genderless
Age: Around 2.000 of years old
Classification: Biomechanical Entity, Planet's Defense Mechanism
Powers and Abilities: 
*Superhuman Physical Characteristics; Longevity; likely Self-Sustenance (Types 1 and 2); Large Size (Type 0); Flight and Levitation; Explosive Aura (Weapons can be seen engulfed in a blue energy and tends to result in being repelled when approaching them); Energy Manipulation, Energy Projection and Radiation Manipulation (the beams it fires from its mouth are concentrated radiation); 
*Resistance to: Mind Manipulation, Soul Manipulation and Empathic Manipulation (slept in the Northern Crater, a place overflowing with Spirit Energy, presently known as Mako, for thousands of years, yet it seemed unaffected as it immediately flew off to carry out its mission without question), Deconstruction, Matter Manipulation (its body was unaffected by the Mako, despite the Lifestream being able to diffuse physical matter to retake the Spirit Energy of living beings) and Corruption (the Weapons were created to fight Jenova, who could unleash a powerful virus that mutated others into monsters. Mako can mutate creatures into monsters as well, yet the Weapons seemed unaffected); as well as Extreme Pressure (it can likely resist the conditions of the bottom of the ocean, like the Emerald Weapon as it's shown traveling through the sea).
Attack Potency: Multi-Solar System level (Far more powerful than Bahamut Fury and ZERO. Equal to his brethren, the Jade Weapon who was sentFinal Fantasy VII: 10th Anniversary Ultimania (2007) to eliminate the Player Turk, the threat that destroyed Zirconiade, a Summoned Beast whose summoning was consideredBefore Crisis -Final Fantasy VII- (2004) an apocalyptic eventBefore Crisis -Final Fantasy VII- (2004) compared to Bahamut Fury's Crisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- (2007), and whose death caused a major upset in the Planet's ecosystem. The Jade Weapon proved to be a bigger threat than the Zirconiade, capable of defeating and imprisoning the Turks and needing collaborative effort from all of the them to wear down and eventually defeat. Weapons compare to Minerva, whom is explicitly statedCrisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- (2007) to be stronger than Summons altogether. When Jenova began her massacre of the Cetra the Planet deemed necessary to createFinal Fantasy VII (1997) the 8 Weapons to stop her, even if they didn't fight in the end, which also signifies that Minerva herself wasn't enough to defeat Jenova), likely Multiverse level+ (Weapons were presented as major threats to Cloud and his allies and, despite being defeated, fought them. Cloud had since become far stronger since fighting in Ramza Beoulve's army during his stay in Ivalice, as an equal to Balthier and Luso Clemens, the former whom had defeated Gilgamesh twice alongside Vaan, and the latter who had teamed up with Vaan on his own adventures)
Speed: Massively FTL+ (On par with Minerva, who is stronger than Summons altogether, thus above Zirconiade and, by extension, much more powerful than Bahamut Fury. Comparable to the Jade Weapon, who could fight entire groups of Turks at once. Kept up with Cloud and his team)
Lifting Strength: Stellar (Comparable to Minerva, thus, being much more powerful than Typhon)
Striking Strength: Multi-Solar System level, likely Multiverse level+
Durability: Multi-Solar System level (Equal to the Jade Weapon, who was a greater challenge to the Player Turk and their allies than Zirconiade, requiring the collaborative effort of all fugitive Turks to defeat, compared to Zirconiade who was barely defeated by four. May even surpass Zirconiade at full power, by virtue of being on the level of Minerva who is describedCrisis Core -Final Fantasy VII- (2007) as above Summons altogether. All of this makes Weapons far more powerful than Bahamut Fury and ZERO), likely Multiverse level+ (Can endure constant assaults from Cloud and the party, taking a lot of punishment before going down. Cloud had since become far stronger since fighting in Ramza Beoulve's army during his stay in Ivalice, as an equal to Balthier and Luso Clemens, the former whom had defeated Gilgamesh twice alongside Vaan, and the latter who had teamed up with Vaan on his own adventures)
Stamina: Superhuman (Should be comparable to the Ultimate Weapon and Emerald Weapon)
Range: Extended Melee Range with its body, likely several Kilometers with energy attacks.
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Below Average. Weapons seem to function based on instincts and the orders the Planet placed on them.
Weaknesses: This particular Weapon seems to be the most careless of all, given the rather absurd circumstances of its death.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
As a being created by the Planet to act as its defense, the Sapphire Weapon can also use its Spirit Energy to achieve offensive effects:
*Radiation Blast: The Sapphire Weapon can turn the Spirit Energy stored within him and turn it into radiation, which it fires in a laser like beam capable of piercing and cutting structures instead of exploding.
==Explanations==
While its death makes the Sapphire Weapon look unimpressive, it must be remembered that the Shinra Company has a very User blog:TartaChocholate/Final Fantasy VII - Scaling#The Power of Shinra's Weaponry enforced development of weaponry.
