End of the tunnel

Cloud: Those light beams are the Shinra's security sensors. We can't go any further.

* Try
    Cloud: After coming this far, only an amateur'd get caught by a security sensor.

* Air vent
    Barret: That's one damn tiny hole. You tellin' me to squeeze into that to get under the Plate? No way! Yo, Cloud, what're we gonna do?
    * Don't go
        Whaddya mean we're not goin' in? There ain't no other way of gettin' to the Sector 5 Reactor 'cept through here.
    * Look inside
        Tifa (peers inside): ...Doesn't seem to be anything that'll get us stuck in this duct.
        Cloud: OK, but if we go down this duct, we won't be able to come back.
        Barret (shakes): Don't be wastin' time. Never know when the Shinra'll find us. Cloud, you jus' gotta go.
        * Don't go
            Whaddya mean we're not goin' in? There ain't no other way of gettin' to the Sector 5 Reactor 'cept through here.
        * Do down
            Barret: But, damn man, that thing gives me the chills. (they enter)
    * Go down
        Barret: But, damn man, that thing gives me the chills. (they enter)

Under the plate

* Wedge: Cloud, this way. The reactor's up this ladder.

* Jessie: I'm sorry.
    Jessie: The ID scan problem on the train was all my fault. I modified your ID card... And that's what did it... I did my best... But I failed.

* Jessie: Next time, I'll give you something better. I'll be back at the hideout in my research room workin' on it.

* Biggs: We're gonna pull out now. We'll meet up at the hideout. Cloud, we're countin' on you to blow up the reactor!

The Reactor core

* Core
    Cloud holds his head and collapses. Familiar whine.

    Another reactor-like room

    A younger Tifa in a cowboy hat is kneeling by a dead man and a sword.
    Tifa: Papa...
    Tifa: Sephiroth!?
    Tifa: DId Sephiroth do this to you?
    Tifa: Sephiroth... SOLDIER... Mako Reactors... Shinra... (she cries)
    Tifa (looking up in anger): I hate them all!
    Tifa gets up, grabs the sword, and leaves.

    Back in the core

    Barret: Damn man, get a hold of yourself!
    Tifa (goes over to Cloud): You all right?
    Cloud: ...Tifa
    Tifa: Mmm?
    Cloud: No... forget... Come on, let's hurry!
    Cloud: I know. You're my chaperone, right?
    Barret: Damn straight.
    Barret: Tifa's old friend... That ain't good enough.

* Core
    Cloud kneels, and sets the bomb.

Control room

Each member stands by a panel.
Tifa: Jessie said we all have to push the button at once.
After a pause, Tifa and Barret press their buttons.

* Press button at wrong time
    Tifa: No good. Let's try again.
    Repeats.

* Press button at right time
    The door opens.

T-Junction

Barret: This way! (he runs to the left)
Six soldiers enter from the left. Barret retreats.
Barret: Shinra soldiers!?
Barret: $#%&! What the hell's goin' on?
Cloud: ...A trap...
A man enters.
Barret: Pres... President Shinra?
Tifa: Why is the President here?
President Shinra: Hmm... So you all must be... What was it?
Barret: AVALANCHE! And don't ya forget it! So you're President Shinra, huh?
Cloud: Long time no see, sir.
President Shinra: ...Long time no see? Oh... you. You're the one who quit SOLDIER and joined AVALANCHE. I knew you'd been exposed to Mako, from the look in your eyes. Tell me, traitor... What was your name?
Cloud: Cloud.
President Shinra: Forgive me for asking, but I can't be expected to remember everyone's name. Unless you become another Sephiroth.
President Shinra: Ahh, Sephiroth... he was brilliant. Perhaps too brilliant.
Tifa: Sephiroth? (steps back)
Barret: Don't give a damn 'bout none of that! This place's goin' up with a big BANG soon! Serves y'all right!
President Shinra: And such a waste of good fireworks, just to get rid of vermin like you.
Barret: VERMIN!? That's all you can say? VERMIN!? Shinra're the VERMIN for killing the Planet! Guess that'd make you King VERMIN! So shu'up jackass!
President Shinra: ...You are beginning to bore me. I'm a very busy man, so if you'll excuse me... I have a dinner I must attend.
Barret: Dinner!? Don't gimme that! I ain't even started wit' you yet!
President Shinra: But, I've made arrangements for a playmate for you all. (click)
Tifa: What's that noise?!
Barret: The hell is that!?
President Shinra: Meet 'Airbuster'. (it flies in on cue), a techno-soldier. Our Weapon Development Department created him. I'm sure the data he'll extract from your dead bodies will be of great use to us in future experiments.
Cloud: ...Techno-soldier?
A helicopter flies in.
President Shinra: Now then, if you'll excuse me.
Cloud: Wait, President! (chases him)
The helicopter leaves, President Shinra on board.
Barret: Yo, Cloud! We've gotta do somethin' 'bout him!
Airbuster lunges toward Tifa and Barret, who back off. Cloud closes in behind him.
Tifa: Help, Cloud!
Tifa: THIS is from SOLDIER?
Cloud: No way! It's just a machine.
Barret: I don't care what it is!! I'm gonna bust him up!
Battle with Airbuster. Attack from both sides.
It explodes, taking out a part of the bridge that Cloud was on. Cloud hangs on to a bit of it.
Barret: It's gonna blow! Let's go, Tifa!
Tifa: Barret! Can't you do something?
Barret: Not a damn thing.
Tifa: Cloud! Please don't die! You can't die! There's still so much I want to tell you!
Cloud: I know, Tifa...
Barret: Hey, you gonna be alright?
* Be strong
    Cloud: ...You worry about yourselves! I'm all right, but take care of Tifa!
    Barret: ...Alright. Sorry 'bout all this.
    Cloud: Stop talkin' like this is the end!
    Barret: OK, hold on!
* I don't know if I can hold on
    Cloud: &#%^! Can't hold on much longer. Barret, hurry!
    Barret: Don't go cryin' like a woman. There ain't nothin' I can do for ya. Ya gotta do it on your own.
    Cloud: Barret...
    Barret: OK, hold on!
Movie. The Reactor explodes and Cloud falls from the bridge. Tifa looks over the edge, but is held back by Barret. She tries to look over.
