Barret expressed gratitude to her, and asked her if she could put him in touch with Jessie as an intro to Avalanche, which Tifa agreed to. However, Tifa was able to pay it off with her own savings. Barret opted to abandon the bar due to his inability to pay, and believing that freedom from being tied down from debt was more important than a place to stay.

In the chaos, Barret and Dyne returned to the town and were gunned down by Shinra troops, causing Dyne to fall off a cliff while Barret narrowly grabbed his hand. In retaliation against Avalanche, Shinra destroyed the reactor and burned down Corel. Barret helped the Turks sneak into the mako reactor to reclaim it (not knowing Avalanche at the time, and not knowing he would join them later). His childhood best friend, Dyne, disagreed at first, but Barret convinced him. Because of his wife's illness, Barret advocated co-operation with Shinra in building a mako reactor north of Corel.
