"Sephiroth is alive. I... I have to settle the score."
Scene 36
- Ahead On Our Way -
(After the battle. The party stands on the freeway. They are at the edge, where it must have collapsed some time ago and never rebuilt, only added warning lights. The purple mountains of the eastern continent are visible in the distance.)
Barret
"Well, what do we
do now?"
Cloud
"Sephiroth is alive.
I... I have to settle the score."
Barret
"And that'll save
the Planet?"
Cloud
"...Seems like it."
Barret
"Awright, I'm going."
Aerith
"I'll go too. ...I
have things that I want to find out."
Cloud
"About the Ancients?"
Aerith
".......Many things."
Tifa
"I guess this's good
bye, Midgar."
(They all climb down a rope hung from the edge of the highway, landing in the outskirts of Midgar.)
Red XIII
"I'm going backto
my hometown. I'll go with you as far as that."
Tifa
"...I guess this is
the start of our journey..."
<CHOICE>
You hate traveling?
It's dangerous. You
sure you want to go?
***Cloud
You hate traveling?
Tifa
"...I don't know.
But, I don't have anywhere else to go. So I guess it doesn't really matter
whether I like to travel or not."
***Cloud
It's dangerous. You
sure you want to go?
Tifa
".....Mmm. but you
know, it should be all right if you keep your promise."
<//>
Aerith
"You know what? This
is the first time I've ever left Midgar..."
<CHOICE>
Really? ...You worried?
It's dangerous. You
sure you want to go?
***Cloud
Really? ...You worried?
Aerith
"A little,... no,
maybe a lot. But I have my bodyguard, right?"
***Cloud
It's dangerous. You
sure you want to go?
Aerith
"I thought you'd say
that!"
<//>
Barret
"We told Aerith's
mom to go somewhere safe, so Marlene should be safe too."
<CHOICE>
Yeah, she should be
Hmm, I don't know
***Cloud
Yeah, she should be
Aerith
"She said she didn't
want to stay in Midgar anymore. ...Maybe it's for the best."
***Cloud
Hmm, I don't know
Aerith
"Stop it, Cloud! I'm
worried too."
<//>
(Cloud heads out, away from Midgar.)
Cloud
"Then..."
<CHOICE>
Let's stay here for
a while
Let's go!
***Cloud
Let's stay here for
a while
***Cloud
Let's go!
(Barret starts boxing with the air)
Barret
"We need a group leader
for our journey. 'Course only me could be the leader."
Tifa
"You think so...?"
(Aerith walks to Cloud.)
Aerith
"It would have to
be Cloud."
(Barret stops abruptly and looks at Aerith.)
Barret
"^#$^%....... awright.
Go Northeast to a town called Kalm. If something happens, we'll meet up
there."
(Barret sits down.)
Barret
"'Sides, we can't
have 5 people strolling down the fields. Split us into 2 parties..."
(Here Cloud picks the two people to come with him. I chose Tifa and Aerith.)
Barret
"...Thought you'd
do that."
"'Later, at Kalm!"
(They all leave Midgar, and head out into the overworld for the first
time.)
