Heidegger, head of Peace Preservation, walks up the stairs.
President Shinra: How are the preparations going?
Heidegger: Gya, haa, haa! Smoothly, very smoothly! I assigned the Turks to this.
Reeve: President!! Are we really going to do this? Simply destroy a groupwith only a few members...
President Shinra: What's the problem, Reeve? You want out?
Reeve: ...No. But, as head of the Urban Development Department, I have been involved in the building and running of Midgar. That's why...
Heidegger: Reeve, flufh your personal problems with the rest of your crap.
Reeve: The Mayor's against this anyway...
Heidegger: Mayor? He just sits in this building all day feeding his face! You still call that a Mayor?
Heidegger: Now if you'll escuse me sir!
Heidegger salutes, and leaves. Reeve follows, but is stopped by President Shinra.
President Shinra: You're tired. Why don't you take a couple of days off and go somewhere.
Reeve looks at him, and leaves.
President Shinra: We'll destroy Sector 7 and report that AVALANCHE did it. Then we'll send in the rescue operation care of Shinra, Inc. ... Heh, heh, heh... this is perfect.
Sewer
* Tifa
Cloud: You alright?
Tifa: Man! This is terrible.
* Aerith
Cloud: You alright?
Aerith: Yeah.
Aerith: Well, the worst is over...
Rumble. Cloud looks around.
Aerith: Maybe not...
Battle APS
Tifa: It's too late... ... Marlene... Barret... the people of the Slums.
Aerith: Don't give up, never give up hope. It's not easy to destroy the pillar, right?
Tifa: ...Yeah... you're right! We still have time.
* Hole
* Let's jump down / Let's not...
Train Graveyard
Aerith looks about.
Cloud: Aerith, I got you mixed up in this...
Aerith (shakes): Don't tell me to go home.
Tifa: If we can just get past the trains that are lit up, we should be able to get out of here.
More graveyard
* Get in a train
It moves.
Station
* Porter: I heard a rumor that the plate was going to fall, crushing this station, I've worked at so many years. But I just can't bear to leave here.
Crossroads
Tifa: We made it! The pillar's standing!
Cloud: Wait! You hear something above us?
Aerith: ...gun fire?
Pan up. The rest of AVALANCHE are on the pillar. Flashes of gunfire. Wedge falls off.
Cloud: Wedge!! You all right!?
Wedge: ...Cloud. You remembered my name.
Cloud shakes.
Barret's up top. ...Help him... An' Cloud... Sorry, I wasn't any help.
Cloud (shakes): I'm going up!
Cloud: Aerith! You look after Wedge.
Aerith nods.
Tifa: Aerith, do me a favor. I have a bar called '7th Heaven' in this neighborhood. There's a little girl named Marlene there.
Aerith (nods): Don't worry. I'll put her somewhere safe.
Tifa (to observers): It's dangerous here! Everyone get away from the pillar, quickly! Everyone get out of Sector 7!
They disperse.
* Leave
Tifa: Cloud!! You've gotta go now, or Barret's...
* Aerith: Don't worry. You let me handle this.
* Waistcoated bloke: Uh oh... There goes the pillar. I'm scared, but it's for your own good. If things get too hairy, we'll escape. It's not something you'll see happen to often.
* Orange bloke: Uhh... Help! My strange and wonderful little place.
* Porter: Doh! And this was supposed to be my last job! Do something!! I never thought this would ever happen to me! Great... I'm quitting tomorrow!
* Other porter: L, look... This is my last job, so I have to be here until the absolute last minute.
Umm... I just LOVE men with a sense of duty. Let me stay here with you.
* Return
B, but... What if AVALANCHE shows up?
Umm... you're shaking. You're so gentle... I think I'm in love.
Pillar
* Biggs: Cloud... so, you don't care... what happens... to the... Planet?
* Nope, not interested
Biggs: Hmph... you haven't changed. Oh, forget it.
* You're wounded......
Biggs: Thanks, Cloud.... don't worry 'bout me...... Barret's... fighting up there. Go help him...
* Jessie: ...Cloud... I'm glad...... I could talk with you... one last time.
* Is that so...
Jessie: ... Is... that so......? Ha...... cool...... as usual... ex-... SOLDIER. ...always... I liked that... in you...
* Don't say 'last'......
Jessie: That's... all right... Because... of our actions... many...... people died...... this probably...... is our punishment...
Top
* Barret: Tifa! Cloud! You came! Be careful! They're attacking from the helicopter.
Tifa: Better equip ourselves before they attack in full force!
Press the (MENU) button to access the Menu. Press the (OK) button when finished.
Tifa: Here they come!
Reno flies in on a helicopter. Barret shoots at it. Reno jumps out and goes to a control panel.
Reno: You're too late. Once I push this button...
He pushes said button.
Reno: That's all, folks! Mission acoomplished.
Everyone ignores Reno.
Tifa: We have to disarm it! Cloud! Barret! Please!
Reno: I can't have you do that. No one get in the way of Reno and the Turks...
Battle Reno.
* When he's about to die
Reno: It's time.
Escapes.
Reno runs past Tifa, and leaps the rail. Tifa goes over to the panel and makes beepy noises.
* Barret: DAMN! It's a time bomb!
* Tifa: Cloud! I don't know how to stop this. Try it!
* Panel
Cloud: ...It's not a normal time bomb.
Tseng and Aerith fly in on a helicopter.
Tseng: That's right. You'll have a hard time disarming that one. It'll blow the second some stupid jerk touches it.
Tifa: Please, stop it!
Tseng: Ha ha ha..... Only a Shinra Executive can set up or disarm the Emergency Plate Release System.
Barret aims at Tseng.
Barret: Shut yer hole!
He fires.
TsengL I wouldn't try that...... You just might make me injure our special guest.
Aerith makes herself visible.
Tifa: Aerith!!
Tseng (to Aerith): Oh, you know each other?
Tseng: How nice you could see each other one last time. You should thank me.
Cloud: What are you gonna do with Aerith!?
Tseng: I haven't decided. Our orders were to find and catch the last remaining Ancient.
Tseng: It's taken us a long time, but now I can finally report this to the President.
Aerith: Tifa, don't worry! She's all right!
Tseng slaps her.
Tifa: Aerith!
Aerith: Hurry and get out!
Tseng: Ha, ha, ha... Well, it should be starting right about now. Think you can escape in time?
He laughs. Pan up to see an explosion, and bits of Plate fall.
* Tifa: Once that Plate starts coming down it'll be too late. We gotta hurry!
* Barret: Yo, we can use this wire to get out!
He jumps onto the rail. Tifa joins him.
* Barret
Cloud climbs onto Barret's shoulders.
Movie of the Plate collapsing, and the party swinging to safety just in time.
