"To those who loved this world" "To those who loved this world and knew friendly company within." "To those who loved this world and knew friendly company within." "This Reunion is for you." "498 years eariler" "You ragged everything you made" "Why does humankind even bother?" "Like it will be any different" "I supposed we are no good at facing our memories... so we would rather... gild the past" "Find something worthwhile among the rumble... and build a future with that" "And that is why you salvage mother... to gild the past" "We are trying to rid ourselves... of a more immediate problem" "You can't mean the stigma?" "But you're the ones who brought that on yourselves in the first place" "Well now..." "I guess you really do... have a short of memory" "No... not me" "You see... it is my choice to forget" "2 weeks earlier" "Tsung!" "Look at this" "Plain dirt" "Not a pretty sight, is it?" "Who cares?" "Just get the damn thing" "Reno, Count on you!" "You got it" "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" "Reno, hurry!" "Senior!" "Who the hell was that?" "Elena!" "G-get out...!" "Tsung!" "The Lifestream" "That's what we call the river of life that circles our planet... giving life to the world... and everything in it" "The Shin-Ra Electric Power Company... the Lifestream... discover a way to use it as an energy source" "Because of Shin-Ra's energy... we were able to live very comfortable lives" "But wasn't that because we were taking away from the planet's life?" "A lot of people thought so" "Shin-Ra used their power... to try stop anybody... who got in their way" "Shin-Ra had a special group of warriors called "SOLDIER"" "had Jenova Cells put inside of them" "A calamity that fell from the sky... a long, long time ago ... was Jenova who tried to destroy the planet" "Anyway..." "Sephiroth... who was better than the rest of the SOLDIERS" "But when he found out about the terrible experiments that made him he began to hate Shin-Ra" "And then... over time... began to hate everything" "Shin-Ra and the people against them" "He who hated the Planet so much... that he wanted to make it go away was Sephiroth" "And the people who tried to stop Sephiroth" "There were a lot of battles" "For every battle... there was more sadness... somebody I love... went back to the Lifestream too" "And then... it came... the chosen day" "In the end... the planet itself had to make the battles stop for good" "And then, the Lifestream" "It burst out of the Earth ..." "Thanks to the Lifestream... all the fighting ... all the grief and sadness ... everything... is washed away" ""Sadness was the price to see it end."" "It's been two years since they told me that." "Eh..." "Let's go!" "Eh... ya!" "Heh!" "Watch where are you going!" "But... it looks like... the planet is a lot madder than we thought" "Geo-Stigma" "Well, Marlene?" "How does it look?" "Please..." "Don't take Denzel away" "He's not here anymore" "Cloud..." "Where are you?" "Hello?" "Strife Delivery Service..." "You name it... we deliv" "May I ask who's calling?" "I remember you" "You got a call from Reno" "Says he's got work for you" "Cloud, how have you been?" "You have no more messages" "Hey, Kadaj?" "Is that where big brother lives?" "Yeah" "Do you think he'll be glad to see us?" "Not a chance" "Don't cry, Yazoo!" "But mother's with him" "Maybe not" "Don't cry, Loz" "Hold on!" "He's coming!" "Where's mother?" "We know you hid her, brother" "You tell me... you are leading me off..." "Cause' I think you DO have mother there!" "No need to SHOUT!" "I don't want to talk to you anymore" "Put the President on" "Guess that was the last straw" "Whaddup, fool!" "It's Barret" "I am the man!" "Oil, Cloud!" "O-I-L !" "the biggest you've ever seen!" "Survey's done so I can be to get out there and see Marlene soon" "You let her know, all right, spiky?" "!" "Reno called again" "He says to hurry... and he sounded kind of strange" "Be careful... okay?" "Okay!" "So you're goo" "Yeah, Rude, lookin' sharp!" "Good!" "You fight like a SOLDIER you once claim to be" "You haven't lost your touch" "Rufus Shinra?" "Do I feel sorry for you" "The day of the explosion " "What do you want from me " "I managed to get out " "Who were the guys that attacked me?" "Rufus:" "Before it collapsed -- Cloud:" "I am leaving!" "We need your assistance, Cloud" "Not interested " "I acknowledged that Shin-Ra... owes the planet a lot" "It goes without saying... that my company and I... are the ones that put the world in the sorry state it's in" "Therefore... it is our responsibility to set things right" "I'm still out here" "As a first step... we have commenced an investigation in Sephiroth's wake" "It's been two years..." "Now the world is on its feet again... what poses the greatest threat?" "Well... that one's easy" "Geostigma" "And we have reason to think..." "Sephiroth is the one responsible" "The populace... they blame Mako energy... and the reactors... even the Lifestream... for causing the stigma" "However... isn't that blame this place?" "The Lifestream has existed as long as the planet" "And even Mako energy has been part of our lives... for over 40 years" "And yet... there is no mention of the stigma... in recorded history" "So... what happened during our time... to change all that?" "I could only think of one thing..." "The Arrival of Sephiroth" "Sephiroth is dead" "Yes!" "But has his mind died?" "What if he somehow dissolved into the Lifestream... coursing through the Planet undiffused?" "I know... it is merely my speculation" "But!" "It is possible... isn't it?" "And we can't cure the stigma... until we know the truth" "So we took action" "We went to look for traces of Sephiroth" "We started... do you know where?" "Yep!" "that's in the Northern Cave!" "And what do you think we found?" "Relax" "We didn't find anything" "However... not all went as planned" "We were... interrupted" "Get out!" "Tsung!" "Kadaj and his gang..." "Kadaj?" "They will be after you as well... if they haven't already found you" "Leave me out of this" "Don't think you can keep her from us for long" "How?" "Your ties to Sephiroth... ran as deep as ours do" "Cloud" "If Kadaj's purpose... is to do what is necessary... to prepare for the moment" "We stand in the way... as his greatest threat" "Moment?" "Sephiroth..." "Reborn" "Are you done talking?" "Let's get to the issue at hand" "In order to combat Kadaj... we need someone with your expertises" "Will you join us... former SOLDIER..." "Cloud?" "In my head" "What's this stuff about..." ""Mother"?" "Why?" "Did Kadaj mention something?" "Rufus... if you're hiding something..." "I never keep a secret... not from a comrade" "You must want to learn all you can about the stigma" "Naturally for the sake of those orphans you lived with" "Surely you longed to see the smile returned to their faces" "All we want in the end... is to rebuild our world" "Cloud" "But I..." "Come on, Cloud" "Think about it" "Together, we can rebuild Shin-Ra" "Not interested!" "Reno!" "Does Cloud live here?" "I guess he does" "What's this?" "It's just like Denzel" "Cloud is sick?" "Why didn't he said something?" "Did he leave because he is sick?" "He just wants to fight alone" "Fight?" "No" "I don't think that he will fight" "Tifa?" "Let's go home, Marlene" "We can't!" "Cloud's not here yet!" "I know, Sweety" "I missed him too" "So... say he comes back..." "We all go home!" "Not until he... get a lecture" "Roger!" "Now we just got to find the Elena and Director" "The other employees give you any leads?" "Nothing yet" "Who would thought... a lot of Shin-Ra people actually returned to work" "Now that's dedication!" "I'm tellin' ya... this could be a fresh start" "Well... those left alive have a lot to atone for" "It's been two years already" "Seems a lot longer than that" "What a nightmare..." "The world was nearly obliterated... and we were the obliterators" "Seriously though... how are we supposed to atone for that?" "Too bad the director is not around..." "You know?" "Elena..." "Hope they're alive" "Don't worry..." "Just like the President said... they're kind of like cats... nine lives, you know?" "You got that right!" "Found ya!" "Church?" "Oh..." "I know the one" "I'll be here" "Your call in Sector 7 cannot be completed at this time" "Your call in Sector 7 cannot be completed at this time" "Your call in Sector 7 cannot be completed at this time" "Your call in Sector 7 cannot be completed at this time" "Your call in Sector 7 cannot be completed at this time" "Cloud?" "What a surprise" "You never call" "Is something wrong?" "Cloud?" "No madam" "Well, who then?" "Why do you have Cloud's phone?" "I don't know" "Who is that?" "I" " I don't know" "I don't know what to do..." "I can't do this" "Heh?" "Are you crying?" "What's happened?" "Are you ok?" "Cloud..." "Cloud!" "If you're there, pick up!" "Heh!" "Are you ok?" "I hate liers!" "I apologized" "This time..." "You get the truth" "The object you seek... fell from the helicopter... while we were running from you" "I'm afraid we are careless" "Is" "Is that" "Is that right?" "I swear it" "Fine!" "Then swear on this" "Why did you do this?" "We need Mother's power" "For the Reunion... we need her" "Reunion..." "My brothers and sisters who shared Mother's cell... will all assemble" "And together, we will take revenge on the planet" "We've already sent out the invitation but... you know... someone's gone and hidden "Mother"" "Preparation?" "The stigma..." "But you know about all that, Sir..." "Mother's memetic legacy lives on in the Lifestream and makes it happen" "She does so much for us and we... we don't even know where to find her" "But what can we do?" "We're just remnants... really remnants of Mother's legacy" "Until we find Mother... and receive her cells... we can't be whole again!" "Geostigma and the Legacy... aren't enough... for a true reunion" "What do you mean?" "But, sir!" "Surely you've noticed" "Gee, Sorry about that" "Stigma!" "Can't you people just stay indoors!" "I said I would live out both our lives... easy to make that promise" "So, you wanna be in SOLDIER?" "Hang in there!" "Hey..." "You doin' okay?" "Well..." "What are you gonna do when we get to Midgar?" "We're friends... right?" "Pops!" "Park us over by the rock!" "Cloud!" "Ride's over!" "My Arm and my dream..." "They're yours now" "You'll be..." "My Living Legacy" "That day... that I would never forget" "But..." "I..." "Don't pretend you're sad" "Why tremble... if angry is not even there" "Face it, Cloud" "All you are... is an empty puppet" "You want to play?" "I guess that's a "no"" "Where's Mother?" "Gross" "Hi, where's Mother?" "There's no one here!" "Fine!" "Play with me" "This will be fun" "Tifa!" "She's not... here" "I'm not crying!" "I got it!" "I will bring the girl" "Where were we?" "Cloud!" "Just run!" "Sorry about before..." "Thank you" "Sure" "My little brother..." "Well... he's gone" "I see..." "Heh!" "I know you got too" "Come on, They'll fix us!" "Tifa" "You're late..." "Who did this?" "Can't say..." "MARLENE!" "Damn!" "You know, you're pretty heavy" "Would there..." "Some kids living with you?" "Cause they ain't here!" "You don't care?" "!" "I just..." "You're a real handful" "Tifa said to take you home, kid" "Grab on!" "So who is going to fix us?" "I don't know" "What ever... like it matters anymore" "Look at what brother was hiding" "From the Lifestream where these powers were forged" "With this Materia... those powers will be ours" "So... those are a gift from Mother?" "Yeah..." "Gotten be" "Then Brother is hiding Mother too?" "No!" "It's that Shin-Ra guy!" "Keeping her hidden is something... they have always been very good at" "All we got to do is... check everywhere that's got anything to do with Shin-Ra" "But we will have plenty of helpful souls" "Boy..." "I can't wait" "But first..." "We need a word with Brother" "He likes to pretend he's not part of the family" "How he breaks..." "My heart!" "Yeah!" "Reno and Rude are out looking" "You have Geostigma... don't you?" "You're going to give up and died... is that it?" "So it is..." "There's no cure..." "Yeah... but that's not stopping Denzel... isn't it?" "Don't run!" "Let's fight it together!" "We can help each other..." "I know we can..." "I guess that... only works for real families" "I'm not fit to help anyone... not my family... not my friends..." "Nobody" "Dilly daily, shilly shally" "I think she wants you to move on, man" "Did you find them?" "No!" "only a witness" "Kadaj's gang took the kids" "Where are they?" "They are at their base now..." "The Forgotten City!" "Mother has given me... a very special gift..." "The power to fight... against a planet that torments humanity" "She gave this gift... to all her children" "That's right!" "You and I are brethren" "Brothers and Sisters... chosen when we inherited..." "Mother's mimetic legacy... through the Lifestream!" "But!" "the Planet doesn't approve of that at all" "It is doing everything it can to hold us back" "That's why... it's racking our bodies with pain and filling our hearts with doubt!" "Now I shall heal you..." "And we will go to Mother together!" "We will join as a family... and strike back at the Planet!" "Does as I do" "Denzel!" "Denzel!" "See Mother?" "All my new Brothers and Sisters..." "They can keep me company... just until I find you" "You came!" "Even though you are about to break..." "That's a good sign" "So?" "Why did you come?" "I think..." "I want to be forgiven... more than anything" "By whom?" "I'm glad that you could make it!" "I only came for the kids" "See this man?" "He's our Big Brother!" "But... too bad..." "He's what you call a "black sheep"" "Cloud!" "See?" "I knew I'd be no help" "Vincent!" "What do you know about this?" "I come often..." "I have seen what Kadaj's group is doing..." "The stigma..." "It's a symptom of alien matter... infesting the body the body tries to eliminate it and overcompensates" "Inside our bodies... something like the Lifestream... circulates... that current is what fights off any malevolent intruders" "What do you mean by "intruder"?" "The Sephiroth Gene" "Jenova's memetic legacy" "Call it what you want" "You're well-informed" "Tseng and Elena... they were brought here half-dead" "They must have been brutally tortured" "I did what I could to save them" "As you've seen" "Tortured?" "They had it coming" "They got their hands on Jenova's Head" "Then when Kadaj says he's looking for Mother..." "Heavens dark harbinger" "The calamity" "Jenova" "If they wanted to..." "They could recreate Sephiroth" "Kadaj..." "What is he?" "I'd rather not know" "Marlene!" "Cloud!" "Denzel!" "And Tifa!" "Tifa is alright" "I want to talk to her!" "May I?" "You don't have a phone?" "!" "Vincent!" "Will you bring Marlene to Tifa?" "I'm going to see Shin-Ra... and get a few answers" "I can't do that" "But I..." "Forget it, Cloud!" "Why don't you ever pay any attention to us?" "Marlene... please, give me some time" "There's a battle to be fought... but it's not as simple as just fighting" "Understand?" "No, I don't!" "Cloud" "Are you sure this is about fighting?" "Where are they?" "They're at their base now... the Forgotten City" "Go" "I have to talk to Rufus" "Stop running!" "I know!" "Even if you find the kids you might not be able to help them" "Maybe something will happen... that can never unhappen... that scares you doesn't it?" "But you need to think about now... really take it in!" "Look at you!" "You think you got it so damn hard!" "Well you hate being alone... so let people in!" "Sure, you might not answer the phone but I don't see you throwing it away either!" "You go... the base is all yours." "Which is it?" "Our memory or us?" "I let you die" "Dilly daily, shilly shally" "Isn't it time you did the forgiving?" "Are sins ever forgiven?" "I've never tried" "You mean... never tried" "Marlene" "Let's go" "Well, I'm going to try" "I'll phone in the verdict" "It's me, Reeve" "How's work going?" "How in the world do you stay in business?" "You never change, Cloud" "If it's all right..." "I was thinking about helping you out so..." "Surprise!" "It's me, Yuffie!" "I never blamed you... not once" "You came for me... that's all that matters" "Please!" "Can't you hear us?" "Heh!" "You listening!" "How do you sicko justify this!" "Return my baby!" "Look at me when I am talking!" "You stay away from that!" "Don't touch it!" "Denzel!" "Denzel!" "Denzel!" "And what are we up to?" "Mother... is here" "So what?" "Ya!" "This... uh... monument thing..." "Shin-Ra made it" "So you think we hid her here" "Did you?" "Why you asked us?" "Where we hid her is classified info!" "Seems that you do have something to hide" "Rude!" "You and your big mouth!" "Does it hurt?" "A bit" "But not as bad as Denzel's" "Is there a cure?" "I don't know" "After all you did..." "You've been trying so hard to find a cure for Denzel" "You knew about that?" "Cloud!" "You clean up your desk once in a while" "Maybe I should..." "So..." "It's that why..." "It's that the reason why you have to leave..." "Cloud?" "Because you can't fix Denzel?" "Or because you have the sickness too" "I just thought..." "I couldn't care myself..." "Let alone anyone else..." "How you supposed to... look after your family... if you can't look after yourself" "Or... at least Daddy said so" "Cloud... don't give up!" "You and Denzel and Tifa..." "In the past, you always look after me" "You were there whenever I need you" "For now... it's my turn" "Say, Kadaj..." "I've got a question for you" "I've got an answer" "You told me... that you needed 'Jenova Cells'... in order to be whole again... right?" "What do you mean by that?" ""Him"" "He's coming back" "Sephiroth!" "The demon..." "So they said..." "You mean..." "I never known Sephiroth..." "I just..." "I sensed him there..." "It's unbearable..." "To think that Mother might... want Sephiroth more than...." "Poor little remnant..." "It doesn't matter who she picks..." "You'll all be the same end!" "Mother came to this planet after a long journey..." "To rid the cosmo..." "Of fools like you!" "But..." "You know as well as I do... that nothing's changed since she got here" "I have to change it..." "To make her happy!" "If Mother wield it..." "I'll do anything for her" "The nightmare returns..." "As long as you exists..." "The nightmare will come... again... and again..." "The Lifestream courses through our world..." "Ever flowing between the edge of Life and Death..." "If that cycle is the very truth of life... then history too will inevitably repeat itself" "So go on... bring your Jenovas and your Sephiroths" "Causes trouble till your heart's content" "We will do as life mandates" "We promised..." "We won't let you win..." "We'll stop you!" "Please, Sir..." "Is that your excuse for going after Mother yourself?" "You don't seemed all that sorry..." "Sorry?" "The truth is..." "I actually enjoyed it" "Good!" "Then let's put an end..." "To all this" "Denzel, we've got to get away!" "Oh boy!" "Hello?" "Oh no..." "Is it after us?" "I'm not looking..." "Are we having fun yet?" "Huh?" "The time of my life!" "When are you going to call it a day?" "Why?" "Just as soon as you give back Mother..." "That will be the end of everything" "Punks!" "What do you need..." "Jenova's head for?" "Forget about your little Reunion... and get a grip!" "All we want... is to be with Mother!" "Mother will know" "When she gets here... she will decide what's best" "Now!" "Where's Mother?" "Damn..." "Sign...." "Mother, shmuther" "It's Jenova's friggin' head!" "Hey!" "I will not have you refer to Mother that way!" "You meanie!" "Our apologies..." "Your ma's cool..." "What the hell am I saying?" "!" "Tifa!" "You son of a bitch!" "You look after mum!" "Barret!" "Marlene better be safe, huh!" "We can't handle this!" "All right!" "Who's being touch my materials?" "The bad guys..." "Naturally" "Oooooooh!" "Who's that?" "She's a beauty!" "Sierra!" "I'll give ya the damn tour afterward!" "Where can I buy a phone?" "Who's he?" "They're our friends" "Denzel?" "Can you make it to the bar?" "Tifa!" "Denzel!" "Cloud!" "Sorry, it took me so long" "It's alright" "You ok?" "Ya!" "Marlene will be safe..." "I took her home" "I feel lighter" "Maybe I lost some weight..." "All that dilly dallying" "So I'm going to go back and to see Marlene, okay?" "We'll wait for you" "Heh, Cloud?" "See you there, right?" "I got to do this!" "This way!" "Where the hell have you been?" "This is too fun, Sir" "Any request for the next Act?" "Mother!" "A good son would have known" "Ali-ooo!" "There you go!" "Fly!" "No giving up!" "Ready?" "Mother!" "Sir, no!" "Sir!" "You losers are chasing the wrong guy!" "Rude!" "No, now!" "Don't do this to me!" "Heh!" "Rude!" "You're alive!" "Ya..." "I'm just preaching" "Seniors!" "Hey!" "Partner!" "This thing..." "Got any bite to it?" "Shin-Ra technology at its finest" "Oh, so you made this?" "If nothing else it's..." "Flashy" "Ooh, good" "You love it..." "Partner" "Looks like today..." "We're clocking out early" "Mother!" "Mother..." "MOTHER!" "Let's go..." "Cloud!" "I'm... at last with Mother!" "So what's going to happen now?" "Mother is going to tell me" "I guess a remnant wouldn't really know" "So what if I'm a puppet?" "Once upon a time... you were too!" "Cloud!" "I brought you materials!" "Heh!" "Watch it!" "Yo!" "Cid!" "Park this dirt!" "Shut up!" "You want jump?" "Then jump!" "He can handle this alone" "Kadaj is a remnant of Sephiroth" "Think of him as sort of a larva form" "Larva?" "!" "Insect?" "!" "You mean he's an insect?" "!" "Missy!" "Shut your mouth!" "So the bug's gonna become Sephiroth?" "Vincent" "Does Cloud know about this?" "I think so..." "Then you're right..." "It's his fight now." "What?" "!" "I don't get it!" "Why can't we help out?" "!" "This is man talk" "Sexist!" "Sexist!" "Missy!" "Shut your gob!" "Men don't get it either" "Two years ago..." "Think of the strength... we all had when we fought that last battle" "It's only been a couple of years... but already that feeling is gone" "For Cloud..." "I think he's found it again" "He's got ten minutes" "He's a royal pain in the ass... that Cloud..." "That's how he is..." "My Reunion..." "Bet you're dying to watch..." "Good to see you..." "Cloud" "Your Geostigma is gone?" "That's too bad" "What in the earth... do you want?" "The last thoughts of Geostigma are dead" "Those remnants will join the Lifestream and girdle the planet..." "Choking it..." "Corroding it" "What I want, Cloud... is to sail the darkness of the cosmos... with this Planet as my vessel" "just as my mother did long ago" "Then one day... we'll find a new planet... and on its soil we'll create a shining future" "What about this planet?" "Well..." "That's up to you, Cloud" "Big Sister?" "Oh..." "When did you get this stronger?" "I'm not about to tell you!" "I thought of a wonderful present for you" "Shall I give you despair?" "On your knees" "I want you to beg for forgiveness" "Is this the pain you felt before..." "Cloud?" "Let me remind you..." "This time you won't forget" "Tell me what you cherish most" "Give me the pleasure of taking it away" "So what if it looks hopeless..." "If it was despair..." "I still won't give up" "Enbraced your dream... and... what ever happened... protect your honour... and SOLDIER" "Well..." "You never made SOLDIER" "But it's what in the heart that counts..." "Zack..." "So?" "You need a hand with him?" "You already beat him once, didn't you?" "It should be a cinch" "Ya..." "Cloud..." "You know what I told you..." "That's right..." "I am your living legacy..." "I pity you" "You just don't get it at all" "There's not a thing I don't cherish!" "Stay where you belong... in my memories" "I will... never be a memory" "Bro... ther..." "Kadaj?" "You don't have to hang on... any longer" "Mother... is that..." "Everyone's waiting... if you're ready" "We rock!" "See, what did I tell you fools!" "That's my boy, Cloud!" "Cait Sith:" "That's my boy, Cloud!" "Tifa:" "Just a little pushing is what he needs..." "Just a little pushing is what he needs..." "That's all!" "Y'all calm down!" "Hold on to your britches!" "Somehow..." "I knew you were there..." "Thank you" "We'll go... together" "Together... we'll play" "Cloud!" "Cloud... said that he will be back" "Let's go!" "Mother?" "Again?" "!" "Why is everyone calling me their mother lately?" "I guess they must be fond of you" "This one is too big to adopt" "Too bad..." "Sounds like... you don't have a place here" "Big sister said..." ""Wait here and Cloud will come back."" "Welcome back!" "I'm back" "There are still children with the stigma" "Ya!" "Heh!" "Let's get you fixed up!" "Come on..." "I'm here" "It's okay..." "Last one in is a rotten egg!" "It's working!" "That's some crazy water!" "You see?" "Everything's alright... correct?" "I know..." "I'm not alone... not anymore!" "Is this somebody's grave?" "No..." "This is where a Hero... begin his journey"
