Final Fantasy VII Script

Scene 12
- Flee The Church -

(The scene changes. Cloud and Aerith in the back room of the church. It is three floors high, and a large Shinra missle apparently crashed through them all, leaving gaping holes in them. They jump past the missile and climb a broken flight of stairs, reaching a break in the walkway.)

Reno
         "There they are, over there!"

(Reno comes in with the three guards.)

Aerith
         "Cloud... that one!"

Cloud
         "I know... Looks like they aren't going to let us go."

Aerith
         "What should we do?"

Cloud
         "Well we can't let them catch us, can we? Then, there's only one thing left."

(He jumps across the gap and motions for Aerith to follow.)

Cloud
         "Aerith! This way!"

(She shakes her head.)

Cloud
         "All right. I'll hold them off."

Aerith
         "Right. Make sure they don't get through!"

Reno
         "The Ancient is getting away! Attack! Attack! Attack!"

(The guards fire at Aerith who falls from the walkway.)

Aerith
         "Eaygh!!"

Cloud
         "Aerith!"

Reno
         "Think we killed 'em? They shouldn't have put up a fight, I say!"

Aerith
         "Cloud, help!"

Cloud
         "Damn!"

(He looks up to the rafters.)

         "What's that...?"

(The three guards attack Aerith. Cloud runs to the rafters and finds four barrels. He pushes them off, squashing each guard. The PLAYER controls this.)

Aerith
         "Thanks, Cloud."

(Aerith runs up to the rafters.)

Cloud
         "Aerith, this way."

(She follows Cloud. They find a hole in the roof of the church and jump out to the outside.)
