Vivi: Where is everyone!?
Black Mage No. 288: They went away with Kuja... Two other guys stayed behind. They're probably at the chocobo shack...
Vivi: Why!? Why did they go with him!?
Black Mage No. 288: They learned about our lifespan... We can live only for a given amount of time.
Black Mage No. 288: Kuja said he knew how to extend our life spans, so everyone followed him...
Vivi: He's lying! I bet he's lying!
Vivi: Look what he's done to us. He's been using us, treating us like puppets.
Black Mage No. 288: ...Maybe we are just puppets, created to serve humans.
(Vivi): !
Zidane: Come on. That's nonsense.
Vivi: ...Where did they go?
Black Mage No. 288: ...I can't tell you that. I can't betray them.
Vivi: Then why didn't you go with them?
(Black Mage No. 288): ......
Vivi: You said the two other guys are in the chocobo shack, right?
(Black Mage No. 288): ......
He goes.
Zidane: Vivi!
Chocobo Hut
Vivi: Hello. Is anyone there?
Zidane: Vivi...
Vivi: Please! Open the door!
Kweh!
(Zidane): ?
The door opens.
(Mage): It's born!!!
(Vivi): !?
(Mage): Oh...
He goes.
Vivi: Wait!
Inside
(Black Mage No. 111): Finally...
(Black Mage No. 33): Finally...
(Black Mage No. 111): Hurray!!!
(Black Mage No. 33): Hurray!!!
Black Mage No. 111: I still can't believe it...
Black Mage No. 33: Yeah...
Vivi: I don't understand. Why are you here?
Black Mage No. 33: We're here to look after the chocobo.
Black Mage No. 111: At first, we were gonna go with everyone, but someone had to stay behind to look after the chocobo egg, so we stayed.
Black Mage No. 33: We kept the egg nice and warm by putting a lot of hay over it.
Black Mage No. 111: I can't wait to show him to everyone.
Black Mage No. 33: They're gonna be so happy.
Black Mage No. 111: We have to come up with a name.
Black Mage No. 33: Hey... What's happening to me? I feel strange...
Black Mage No. 111: M-Me, too...
(Vivi): ......
Chocobo Hut
Vivi: ...You stayed behind because you were worried about the chocobo egg.
Black Mage No. 288: ...I don't know.
Black Mage No. 288: I wanted to follow Kuja because I was so scared of dying.
Black Mage No. 288: But I couldn't... I felt like I was leaving something important behind.
(Vivi): ......
Vivi: I wanna ask you something.
Black Mage No. 288: What is it?
Vivi: A-Am I gonna stop pretty soon, too?
(Zidane): !
Black Mage No. 288: I don't know...
Black Mage No. 288: Kuja said the prototype built before us would last longer.
Vivi: But...I am gonna stop eventually.
(Black Mage No. 288): ......
Vivi: ...I was really confused when my grandpa died.
Vivi: He told me, 'Vivi, no need be sad.' So I told myself, I can't be sad.
Vivi: That's why I felt confused again when I heard that everyone was stopping around here.
Vivi: I didn't know what to do or what to feel...
Vivi: But when I saw Dagger cryign when her mom died, I wasn't confused anymore.
Vivi: I was sad...
Vivi: If I were just a puppet, I never would've felt that way.
Vivi: Mr. 288... we aren't puppets. I know we aren't.
(Vivi): ...I hate him.
Vivi: I hate Kuja!!! He's turning everyone into puppets just to kill people!!!
Vivi: If it weren't for him, I know everyone would understand someday.
Vivi: It's not fair...
Zidane: Vivi...
Black Mage No. 288: ...Kuja's secret palace is on the eastern side of this continent.
(Zidane): !
Black Mage No. 288: It's buried under quicksand. You'll need a ship to get there.
Vivi: Thanks...
Black Mage No. 288: I hope we can become strong like you someday...

(Dagger): (Vivi has so much on his mind...)
(Dagger): (Unlike me, he's fighting so hard...)
(Dagger): (...I thought I would change after I met Zidane.)
(Dagger): (...Once I acceded to the throne, I knew I had to change.)
(Dagger): (But nothing has changed...! I'm so helpless...)
Eiko: Wow...
Eiko: Dagger, were you listening, too?
Eiko: That crybaby sure has come a long way, don't you think?
(Dagger): ......
Eiko: Dagger?
Eiko: Are you alright?
Eiko: ...Don't worry too much. Vivi has his own way of dealing with things, and you have yours.
Eiko: Come on, cheer up! We'll beat up Kuja, and you'll get your voice back in no time.
(Dagger): ......
Eiko: Zidane.
Zidane: Is something wrong?
Dagger shakes her head.
Zidane: Okay. Let's get going.
Vivi: Mr. 288 said Kuja's palace is buried under quicksand, right?
Zidane: Yeah. We're taking the ship to the eastern side of the continent to get there.
