"Our enemy is someone that could do this...?"
(Cloud and the others arrive at the Mythril Mine. In front of the mine, impaled on a stake, is a Midgar Zolom. They run forward.)
Cloud
"Did Sephiroth...
do this...?"
Tifa
"Amazing..."
Aerith
"Our enemy is someone
that could do this...?"
(They enter the Mythril Mine. Just inside, they meet up with Rude of the Turks. Elena stands on a stone outcropping high above.)
Rude
"Just a second!"
Tifa
"Who are you?"
Rude
"Do you know who I
am?"
<CHOICE>
From the Turks, right?
Not interested
***Cloud
From the Turks, right?
Rude
"Well if you know,
this won't take long."
<//>
Rude
"It's difficult to
explain what the Turks do..."
Cloud
"Kidnapping, right?"
Rude
"To put it negatively...
you could say that."
"...But, that's not
all there is to it, anymore."
"................."
(He looks around, then at the floor)
Rude
"..................."
"Sir!"
(The camera moves up to show Elena on a high ledge.)
Elena
"It's all right, Rude!
I know you don't like speeches, so don't force it!"
Rude
"...Then Elena, explain."
Elena
"I'm the newest member
of the Turks, Elena. Thanks to what you did to Reno, we're short of people."
"...Although, because
of that, I got promoted to the Turks,...."
"In any case, our
job is to find out where Sephiroth is headed."
"And to try and stop
you every step of the way."
(She turns)
Elena
"Wait a minute, it's
the other way around. You're the ones that are getting in our way."
(Tseng enters from the door outside.)
Tseng
"...Elena. You talk
too much."
Elena
"Mr. Tseng!?"
Tseng
"No need to tell them
about our orders."
Elena
"Sorry... Tseng."
Tseng
"I thought I gave
you other orders."
"Now go. Don't forget
to file your report."
Elena
"Oh! Right!"
(She clicks her heels)
Elena
"Very well, Rude and
I will go after Sephiroth, who's heading for Junon Harbor!"
Tseng
"...Elena. You don't
seem to understand."
Elena
"Oh! I'm, I'm sorry..."
Tseng
"...Go. Don't let
Sephiroth get away."
Rude & Elena
"Yes sir!"
(Elena climbs down. Rude climbs up to the ledge with Tseng. He turns.)
Rude
"...Reno said he wanted
to see you after the injuries you gave him healed."
"He wants to show
his affection for you all... with a new weapon."
(He exits. Tseng steps forward.)
Tseng
"Well, then..."
(He looks at Aerith. She comes forward to meet his gaze.)
Tseng
"Aerith. Long time
no see."
"Looks like you got
away from Shinra for a while, now that Sephiroth reappeared."
Aerith
"...so what are you
saying? That I should be grateful to Sephiroth?"
Tseng
"No..."
"Well, I won't be
seeing too much of you, so take care."
Aerith
"...strange, hearing
that from you."
Tseng
"Well then, stay out
of Shinra's way."
(He exits. Cloud and the others follow.)
