"Sephiroth..."
"My family! My hometown! How could you do this to them!?"
(Jenova's room. We see Jenova, a bizarre female being hidden beneath oddly angelic armor, connected to a mass of machines and electrical equipment. The camera pans down to show Sephiroth, standing facing his mother with his arms raised.)
Sephiroth
"Mother, let's take
this planet back together."
"I've thought of a
great idea. Let's go to the Promised Land."
(Cloud enters the room, coming up behind Sephiroth.)
Cloud
"Sephiroth..."
"My family! My hometown!
How could you do this to them!?"
(Sephiroth, slowly, looks down and lowers his arms. His shoulders start bouncing.)
Sephiroth
"Ha, ha, ha..... They've
come again, mother."
(He stops.)
Sephiroth
"With her superior
power, knowledge, and magic, Mother was destined to become the ruler of
this Planet."
(FMV sequence. Sephiroth speaks to Jenova,
But they...
Those worthless creatures
are stealing the planet
from Mother
But now I'm here with
you
so don't worry
then tears the upper half of her armor off, snapping wires and intricate machinery.
We see what was inside the armor. Jenova's true form. A fragile, alien woman, skin blue as
if she was frozen for many years.)
(Cloud brandishes his sword.)
Cloud
"What about MY sadness!?
My family... friends... The sadness of having my hometown taken away from
me!?"
"It's the same as
your sadness!"
(Sephiroth stands by Jenova, his arms raised, holding his sword high.)
Sephiroth
"Ha, ha, ha... my
sadness? What do I have to be sad about?"
"I am the chosen one.
I have been chosen to be the leader of this Planet."
"I have orders to
take this planet back from you stupid people for the Cetra. What am I supposed
to be sad about?"
(Cloud turns his face away.)
Cloud
"Sephiroth.... I trusted
you..."
(He looks up and raises his sword.)
Cloud
"No, you're not the
Sephiroth I used to know!"
