(They leave Costa del Sol and head south, until they reach a mountain pass. A man is resting there)
"Whew!"
"Hey!"
"You're actually talking
to me."
Cloud
"What is it?"
"I just passed a guy
in a black cape back there."
"I just tried to tell
him that it's dangerous up ahead, and he ignored me!"
Cloud
"Sephiroth...."
Aerith
"There was a black-cloaked
guy here, too?"
Tifa
"Let's hurry on."
(They continue on, past the mountain pass, passing a Mako reactor and crossing many mine-car tracks, until they reach a bridge. The other two are there.)
Red XIII
"Wha? Oh, it's you."
"There seems to be
an instrument in that hut that manipulates this bridge."
"Perhaps it's best
if we rest a moment."
(The camera moves over to show the hut.)
"The shack is here!! (^^);"
Cloud
"Ok, then...."
<CHOICE>
PHS
Let's move on!
***Cloud
PHS
(Change party members)
**Cloud
Let's move on
(You continue)
<//>
(They cross the upper bridge and enter the hut.)
Cloud
"OW!! Sure is tight
in here..."
"Come on, Cloud, don't
let it get to you. Let's see... this is it."
"Maybe if I turn this..."
"...something should
happen."
<CHOICE>
Do it
Leave it
***Cloud
Do it
(Cloud turns the switch. The drawbridge lowers and the other party members
run across.)
***Cloud
Leave it
(He leaves)
<//>
(Here you have the option of climbing the side of the mountain. At the top, you find two baby birds, nesting on top of a treasure.)
Aerith
"How cute!!"
Tifa
"Yes!! ....how cute."
Cloud
"What should we do?"
<CHOICE>
Take the damn treasure
Leave it where it
is
***Cloud
Take the damn treasure
Cloud
"Times are tough...
I'm taking the treasure."
Tifa
"Oh! Cloud! Your hair
looks like a Chocobo!"
Aerith
"Cloud......"
(After a battle with a Cockatrice [ the mommy, we presume ], you receive
10 Phoenix Downs.)
***Cloud
Leave it where it
is
Cloud
"It's got nothing
to do with us. Let's just leave it."
Aerith
"Cloud......"
<//>
(Cloud continues. Along the way, he climbs a pile of rubble and comes
across a hidden room. A miner lives there.)
"Hey! How'd you ever
wind up around here?"
"Look, I'm sorry but,
I can't do a thing for you!"
"Oh boy!! Corel sure
has gone to pot. It used to be a famous coal mining town!"
"They say there were
more jobs than you could shake a..."
"Well, you get the
picture!"
"Now, it's nothing
but a miserable pit! Me, my bulldozer... everything's out of work."
"Got no job... I can't
even show my face. 'Bout all that's left for me is to just live in this
hole all day."
(Can't help? Not so. Cloud grabs some treasure from his room and continues.
Crossing a long suspended bridge across a deep gorge, he arrives in North Corel.)
