Sector 7 - Seventh Heaven
The train pulls into the Sector 7 station and its passengers get off.
Barret
Yo!! Get over here, all'ya!!
The others group around Barret by the steps down from the platform.
Barret
This mission was a success. But don't get lazy now.
The hard part's still to come! Don't y'all be scared of that explosion!
Cause the next one's gonna be bigger than that!
Meet back at the hideout!! Move out!
Barret runs off, and Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie follow him.
Station man
When you've been a train man as long as I have, you see a lot of people and a lot of lives.
People meeting, parting, joy, sadness... After a while, it doesn't even get to you anymore.
I wonder how long it's been... There's an invisible rail between me and the passengers.
I could never live their lives. I'm just a train man plain and simple. It's easier that way.
That's not to say that the crossing gate of my heart doesn't hurt now and again.
Back during the war, I remember there was a lot of painful scenes then.
But, that's a story for another day...
First train leaves Midgar at 05:04am.
A redhaired couple are standing by the street lamp.
Guy
I'm not letting you go tonight.
Girl
Wow!
Guy
Isn't there somewhere we could go to be alone?
Girl
Wow!
There's only the train graveyard around here. And they say there's ghosts around too!
Guy
......damn.
Girl
What?
Cloud leaves the train station and walks through the sector.
Man by fence
Hey now!! Oops!!
What on earth are you doing? Just butt out......geez!
Huh? You came to see it, too?
There was a bombing on top. If this pillar should come down, everyone in the slums is dust...
Well, there's no point in worryin' about that.
Hey!! Look! It's huge, ain't it?
Cloud looks up at the pillar with the guy.
Man by fence
Hey... This is a strange and wonderful place.
This is my place, but you can come here when you want. Bye, bro!
He runs off.
Barret
Yo, Cloud! Over here, now!
Of course, you can ignore him if you want. Some distance from the fence are two soldiers guarding an exit.
Soldier 1
What the hell do you want? You know who I am?
You can't pass. I got the miserable job of keepin' scum like you from trying to sneak in here.
Soldier 2
W, wow! You're great!!
Soldier 1
Damn right!! Don't waste time talkin's, what I always say!
Soldier 2
But, uh, I......
Ah... eh... uhm............ Excuse me. You cannot pass without the proper clearance.
Did I do good this time?
Soldier 1
You gotta be tougher!
Soldier 2
But, uh, I......
As Cloud approaches 7th Heaven, Barret and the others charge into the bar. Gunfire is heard, and a number of customers run out. Tifa comes out after them and bows apologetically. All the AVALANCHE members go inside but Barret, who waits impatiently by the entrance.
Barret
Heh heh...
You wanna meet your little baby?
Cloud
- Little baby?
- Out of my way!
Gossip
Did you hear?
Cloud
- Don't care
- No, what?
- Don't care
Gossip
Oh, well excuse ME!
- No, what?
Gossip
There's a news update. They say that there was a terrorist explosion up above, and that this time it was a Mako Reactor!!
You know what this means?
Cloud
- Don't care
- No, what?
- Don't care
Gossip
Oh, well excuse ME!
- No, what?
Gossip
Ya see, I keep on top of these things, an' if ya ask me......
If you knock out Midgar's power, then all of its computers and signals are going to be knocked out too.
Financially there must've been about a billion gil worth of damage.
An' that ain't all!! A lotta innocent people got killed too!
If the explosion had been in the middle of the night, that woulda been one thing. At least the people coulda gone in their sleep.
This Mako explosion has really sent Midgar into a fit.
Kid
Explosions! Explosions! Oh Man! AVALANCHE is so cool!
Johnny's cousin
Oh Jesus!! What the hell's wrong tonight!!
I thought that long blackout was strange.
They say a Mako Reactor was destroyed above.
I was jes sittin' here drinkin', watchin' the news by myself.
'n' all of a sudden I get kicked outta the &*%$ store. What's up with that!?
I wasn't even done with my drink. I didn't even pay my bill...
Johnny
Woo...... ah geez, I'm blitzed. I jes love them homemade cocktails. But they sure do creep up on ya.
A sign to the far left
Don't be taken in by the Shinra.
Mako energy will not last forever.
Mako is the life of the Planet and that life is finite.
The end is coming.
Saviors of the Planet: AVALANCHE
Cloud
What crappy handwriting. And look at all this graffiti!
The Item Shop is closed, but you can enter the Weapons Shop.
Black-haired man
Hey!! What the, YOU?
Anyone talking to me must be a novice.
Cloud
- Yep, that's me
- I used to be with SOLDIER, the name's Cloud
- Yep, that's me
So what. Everyone's a beginner sometime.
Black-haired man
Don't act so big, amateur. Seein' as how I'm such a warm hearted guy, I'll show ya the ropes.
You come back here tomorrow. I got some things I gots ta do.
- I used to be with SOLDIER, the name's Cloud
The name's Cloud. Used to be with SOLDIER, I got no business with you.
Black-haired man
Hmmph!! Well, I never heard of ya!
Upstairs, the storage area (Beginner's Hall) is closed off.
Big man
Unn......!! Who the hell are you!? No unauthorized access.
Since today's special, I'm gonna let you in on a juicy bit of news. But you gotta keep it to yourself.
Do you know what's been going on......?
Cloud
- What, that again?
- ............
- What, that again?
Big man
I guess you must be sick of hearing it... But it's been so long since there was any real news here.
You're worried where it's all heading, right?
- ............
Big man
Everything's in a buzz 'bout that terrorist group AVALANCHE blowin' up the Sector 1 Mako Reactor.
On the surface they say they're an anti-Shinra group, but in reality...
They say they're just out to kill as many people as they can.
Gyaaaa, Haaa haaa!!
That's a good one, ain't it!? While they're bustin' things up on top, the only ones makin' out good are us weapon stores!
Now, if we can just get rid of this back stock, we'll be doin' ok.
Man in hat
You know what I do? I'll bet you don't.
You come here tomorrow and I'll tell you.
Ahh, there just ain't no good jobs here in the slums.
I wanna go to the upper world.
Cloud returns to 7th Heaven, where Barret is waiting.
Barret
Ok! Go on ahead.
You! Cloud!! Get off your slow-movin' ass!!
Cloud enters 7th Heaven, and Marlene hops up excitedly.
Marlene
Papa!!
Cloud starts, and when Marlene sees it's him, she runs and hides in the corner. Tifa comes out from behind the bar and hurries over to her.
Tifa
Marlene! Aren't you going to say anything to Cloud?
She walks over to Cloud with Marlene hiding behind her.
Welcome home, Cloud. Looks like everything went well.
Did you fight with Barret?
Cloud
- Yeah
- Not this time
- Yeah
Tifa
I should have known.
He's always pushing people around, and You've always been in fights ever since you were little.
I was worried.
- Not this time
Tifa
Hmm. You've grown up.
When you were little you used to get into fights at the drop of a hat.
Tifa (if you bought a flower)
Flowers? How nice...
You almost never see them here in the slums.
But...
A flower for me? Oh Cloud, you shouldn't have...
Cloud
No big.
- Give it to Tifa
- Give it to Marlene
- Give it to Tifa
Tifa
Thank you, Cloud. It smells wonderful.
Maybe I should fill the store with flowers.
- Give it to Marlene
Nothing happens until Barret comes in.
Tifa (if you didn't buy a flower)
I'm so glad everyone's safe.
Tifa
Sorry, Cloud. Marlene seems a little shy.
Marlene
............
Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie are sitting around a table relaxing.
Biggs
Aaah!! Nothin' like that first drink after a job.
Hic!!
Why don't you have one too?
Cloud
- No
- Yeah, why not?
- No
Biggs
What!? You tellin' me you're too good to drink with me?
Don't act big-headed jus' because you were in SOLDIER!
- Yeah, why not?
Biggs
Oh!! That's more like it!!
Even if you were in SOLDIER, you're still a rookie here. So you'd better listen to whatever I tell ya!
Biggs
Hic...!!
Oh...... Don't tell Barret what I just said.
Wedge
Oh, Cloud!
Tifa really knows how to cook. Mmm, mmm......
Anyway, let me tell you somethin'
Cloud
- About what?
- I'm not interested in your stories
- About what?
Wedge
Tifa always lets me taste her cooking.
And look at me now, I'm rolly-polly.
Don't know whether I should be happy or sad. But it's the good food and drinks that make this shop famous.
- I'm not interested in your stories
Wedge
Cloud...... ......forget it.
Jessie
Careless...... You're getting all excited.
Wonder what for......?
Cloud starts for the door, but has to jump out of the way as Barret comes thundering in.
Marlene
Papa, welcome home!
He lifts her up onto his shoulder.
Barret (if you gave the flower to Marlene)
Huh? Where'd you get that flower?
Marlene
Cloud gave it to me.
Barret
Oh......
Did you thank him?
Marlene
............
Thank you, Cloud.
We'll take care of you.
Tifa
You all right, Barret?
Barret
Great!!
Get in here, fools!! We're startin' the meetin'!!
Barret heads down to the basement using the super-secret pinball machine elevator, and the others follow. Cloud can wander the Sector a little more before joining them.
Back at the train station, the couple is still there.
Guy
Hey, come over here.
Girl
But people will...
Guy
Who cares?
Girl
But... There's a weirdo over there.
Guy
Huh?
He turns to Cloud.
Say, you're pretty gutsy.
Why don't you go snoop somewhere else, Romeo?
Closer to 7th Heaven...
Gossip
Did you hear?
Cloud
- 'Bout what?
- Don't care
- 'Bout what?
Gossip
About that little girl named Tifa and that bar called '7th Heaven'.
I'm not only informed, I'm kinda nosey too. Anyhow, I got the scoop.
You wanna hear?
Cloud
- You bet!
- Don't care - You bet!
Gossip
That Barret and three of his henchmen are like this sometimes.
Suddenly, they threw out a customer and start talking trash to him. It's strange, if you ask me. And that place always smells like gun powder.
It's dangerous, I tell you. They must be doing terrible things in there.
- Don't care
Gossip
Oh really? Well, aren't you a cool one!
- Don't care
Gossip
Oh really? Well, aren't you a cool one!
Johnny's cousin
There's a TV in there, but my cheap aunt won't let me in the house. Look for yourself.
Johnny's Mom (from inside her house)
I'm not opening up. Go away!!
Johnny
Hey!! Open up! C'mon baby!!
It's me! Johnny! Mom!!
Johnny's cousin
Now that you mention it, there used to be an outside TV monitor here in the slums.
But that Barret, busted it up.
Shot it up with that weird machine gun hand of his. Blam, blam, blam.
I think it was when President Shinra was on.
He was on again this morning, too, you know.
Tifa better watch out for her TV.
Kid
All's quiet!! Shh, I'm spying now!
OH!! There's something!! DANGER!! ALERT!!
Back in 7th Heaven, Tifa's still behind the bar, though the place is empty. Cloud walks up.
Tifa
Sit down.
Cloud sits.
Tifa
How about...
...something to drink?
Cloud
- I don't feel like it
- Give me something hard
- I don't feel like it
Tifa
OHH!!
I can make a drink just as good as anyone else.
Everyone says, my drinks taste the best!
- Give me something hard
Tifa
Just a minute. I'll make one for you.
You know, I'm relieved you made it back safely.
Cloud
What's with you all of a sudden? That wasn't even a tough job.
Tifa
I guess not...
You were in SOLDIER.
Make sure you get your pay from Barret.
Cloud
Don't worry. Once I get that money, I'm outta here.
Cloud gets up.
Tifa
Cloud. Are you feeling all right?
Cloud
...yeah... Why?
Tifa
No reason. You just look a little tired I guess.
You'd better go down below.
Cloud goes down to the basement. Jessie is working at her computer, while Wedge is sitting at the table in the center of the room. Barret is using a punching bag in the corner, and Biggs and Marlene are nearby on either side of him.
Wedge
You think I'm a little too uptight?
Cloud
- Yeah...
- No...
- Yeah...
Wedge
The next mission will be to blow up the Sector 5 Reactor.
Cloud, you're great! Don't you ever get nervous?
Or are you like, impervious to feelings? Naw, that couldn't be it.
- No...
Wedge
Well, that's ok. Don't worry about me. I don't look like it, but I'm a coward at heart.
The TV near Jessie's computer is on, showing the bombing. President Shinra is in the middle of a speech.
President Shinra
.........today the No. 1 Reactor was bombed. The terrorist group AVALANCHE has claimed responsibility for the bombing.
It is expected that AVALANCHE will continue its reign of terror.
But citizens of Midgar, there is no need to fear.
I have immediately mobilized SOLDIER to protect our citizenry against this senseless violence. Thank you and good night. |
Jessie
Oops...
Hey, look at the news... What a blast.
Think it was all because of my bomb? But all I really did was just make it like the computer told me.
Oh no! I must've made a miscalculation somewhere.
Hey, that was my bomb's debut. Makes me kinda proud.
Barret
Yo, Cloud! There's somethin' I wanna ask ya.
Was there anyone from SOLDIER fighting us today?
Cloud
None. I'm positive.
Barret
You sound pretty sure.
Cloud
If there was anyone from SOLDIER you wouldn't be standing here now.
Barret
Don't you go thinkin' you so bad jes cuz you was in SOLDIER.
Barret lunges for Cloud, and Biggs tries to hold him back.
Cloud
............
Barret throws Biggs off, slamming him against the wall, and stands there seething.
Barret
Yeah, you're strong.
Probably all them guys in SOLDIER are.
But don't forget that your skinny ass's workin' for AVALANCHE now!
Don't get no ideas 'bout hangin' on to Shinra.
Cloud
Stayin' with Shinra?
You asked me a question and I answered it... that's all.
I'm going upstairs. I want to talk about my money.
Barret
Shucks!! ............money...
Marlene
Papa, you're so great!
Cloud starts to leave, but Tifa, who's come down in the midst of this, runs up to him.
Tifa
Wait, Cloud!
Barret
Tifa! Let him go!
Looks like he still misses the Shinra!
Cloud
Shut up!
I don't care about either Shinra or SOLDIER!
But don't get me wrong!
I don't care about AVALANCHE or the Planet for that matter!
Tifa
Straighten things up with everyone for me.
Jessie
Money...
Oh my. It must have been for a lot of it.
Sure! Well, what the hell? It's a verbal agreement. Now let me figure this out.
Oh stop it, Cloud! Did you hear me?
Wedge
......Cloud.
You say you don't care, but you came to talk to me.
Cloud... You just want friends.
Isn't that right?
Cloud
- Blow off
- I really don't care
- Blow off
Wedge
Yeah, well. You look kind of lonely to me.
If you ever got anything you want to get off your chest, you can always talk to me.
- I really don't care
Wedge
You're terrible. Real cold blooded.
Cloud goes upstairs and starts for the door. Tifa comes after him.
Tifa
Listen, Cloud. I'm asking you. Please join us.
Cloud
Sorry Tifa...
Tifa
The Planet is dying. Slowly but surely it's dying.
Someone has to do something.
Cloud
So let Barret and his buddies do something about it.
It's got nothing to do with me.
Tifa
So! You're really leaving!?
You're just going to walk right out ignoring your childhood friend!?
Cloud
What......?
- How can you say that!
- ......Sorry
Tifa (she says the same thing regardless)
......You forgot the promise, too.
Cloud
Promise?
Tifa
So you DID forget.
Remember...... Cloud. It was seven years ago...
The scene shifts to show the well in the center of Nibelheim. The sky is bright with stars.
Tifa
Look, the well.
Do you remember?
Cloud
Yeah... back then.
I thought you would never come, and I was getting a little cold.
In the memory, a young Tifa comes to join a young Cloud at the well.
Tifa
Sorry I'm late.
You said you wanted to talk to me about something?
Cloud
Come this spring... I'm leaving this town for Midgar.
Tifa
...All boys are leaving our town.
Cloud
But I'm different from all of them. I'm not just going to find a job.
I want to join SOLDIER.
I'm going to be the best there is, just like Sephiroth!
Tifa
Sephiroth... The Great Sephiroth.
Cloud goes around and climbs up to the top of the well. He nods.
Tifa
Isn't it hard to join SOLDIER?
Cloud
...I probably won't be able to come back to this town for a while.
Tifa makes a sobbing motion.
Cloud
...huh?
Tifa
Will you be in the newspapers if you do well?
Cloud
I'll try.
Tifa
Hey, why don't we make a promise?
Umm, if you get really famous and I'm ever in a bind......
You come save me, all right?
Cloud
What?
Tifa
Whenever I'm in trouble, my hero will come and rescue me.
I want to at least experience that once.
Cloud
What?
Tifa
Come on--! Promise me----!
Cloud
All right...... I promise.
A shooting star flashes across the sky. |
Tifa
You remember now, don't you... our promise?
Cloud
I'm not a hero and I'm not famous. I can't keep...... the promise.
Tifa
But you got your childhood dream, didn't you? You joined SOLDIER.
So come on! You've got to keep your promise......
Barret climbs up from below and says with epic timing:
Barret
Wait a sec big-time SOLDIER!
A promise is a promise! Here!!
| Received Barret's stash, 1500 gil! |
Cloud
This is my pay? Don't make me laugh.
Tifa
What? Then you'll...!!
Cloud
You got the next mission lined up? I'll do it for 3000.
Barret
What......!?
Tifa
It's ok, it's ok.
psst, psst...... (We're really hurting for help, right?)
Barret
Uh...... ugh...... (That money's for Marlene's schoolin'......)
2000!
Tifa
Thanks, Cloud.
Cloud and the others go to sleep for the night.
Cloud wakes alone in the basement and heads upstairs.
Tifa
Good Morning! Cloud!
Did you sleep well?
Cloud
- Barret's snoring kept me up......
- Next to you, who wouldn't?
- Barret's snoring kept me up......
Tifa
psstpsst...
(keep it down, they'll hear you. Barret's always edgy before an operation.)
- Next to you, who wouldn't?
Tifa
I don't know what you mean.
Tifa
I'm going this time.
Barret
Our target's the Sector 5 Reactor. Head for the station first.
I'll fill you in on the train.
Yo! Cloud!
Before the next mission, I got somethin' I wanna ask you!
I, uh,...... I don't really know how to use Materia!
I'll give you that Materia you found. Just teach me how to use it!
Cloud
...sigh...
- Ok, I'll explain it
- You wouldn't understand
- Ok, I'll explain it
Sure, I'll explain how Materia works.
A tutorial on materia ensues.
Barret
Shi......! What's this 'It wasn't that tough!' crap!
I'm clueless......
Well, you handle the Materia then!
- You wouldn't understand
Barret
So this is what makes them guys in SOLDIER so great, huh!?
Ok. I'll ask Jessie again later. But you're in charge of the Materia!
Tifa
Cloud! I got a message from the Weapon Shop man upstairs.
He has something he wants to give you. Don't forget!
Marlene, you watch the store while we're gone!
Marlene
All right!! Good Luck.
Take care!
Cloud + co. leave 7th Heaven together. By now the Item Shop is open.
Shopkeeper
Ahh... Another slow day......
If this keeps up, this store's goin' under...
Can't sell any really good medicine in a slum like this.
Oh!! Look at this! This doesn't happen everyday. You a...... customer?
Yes!! Welcome!! We sell! We buy!
Returning to the Weapons Shop...
Shopkeeper
He, HEY! Waitaminit you!!
You can't just walk outta here without buyin' somethin'...
Might be unhealthy fer ya, if ya know what I mean.
Kid
You dried up old geez. You tired?
Why don't you rest up on the third floor of my house?
There's just one condition.
You gotta give me some cash.
Cloud
- 1 gil
- 10 gil
- nothin'
- 1 gil
Kid
Damn, man!! Just forget about it!
- 10 gil
Kid
Oh man, oh man......
Go ahead 'n' help yourself to the room.
- nothin'
Kid
Cheap %#*^
Black-haired man
Heh heh... He'll forget about it. OH, you!!
Get my friend on the second floor to teach ya.
On the second floor, the Beginner's Hall is open.
Big man
This is the Beginner's Hall.
You say you're a beginner? But your eyes say you're not.
Cloud
Don't mess with me. I used to be in SOLDIER. I'll tell you how much I know... an' for free too!
A tutorial menu opens.
If you talk to the dog, you enter a short controls tutorial, and then a finger appears over Cloud's head.
Cloud
Huh? Finger!? What the hell?
Finger
I'm the position cursor!! Call me whenever you're walking around confused!
Push the [SELECT] button and I'll appear over your shiny little head.
Cloud
Geez, you stand out even more than I do...
Finger
Am I in the way? If so, just push the [SELECT] button one more time.
I'm pretty busy myself, and can't always come when you need me. If I don't show up sometimes, don't get mad.
Later!
Inside the Beginner's Hall, a boy and girl are sparring.
Boy
......smack......knock......!!
Girl
Help!
Cloud
You've got to hang in there. You're limit gauge is just starting to build.
Girl
Waaaah!!
Cloud
Ok! Now your limit gauge is full, go ahead and use it! Fight with your limit technique.
The girl knocks down the boy.
Cloud
Great!
Boy
Magic!! Magic!!
Girl
Help!
Cloud
Calm down! When your enemy uses magic counter with [Magic Barrier] or [reflect].
[Magic Barrier] reduces the damage received from magic by half.
[reflect] bounces the attacks off you. But the number of times you can use it is limited so be careful.
The girl uses reflect and knocks down the boy.
Cloud
Great!
Boy
Wow! You sure are strong! I'm going to be strong, too!
Girl
Me too!
Cloud
If you want to get as strong as me you need to use Materia.
And you have to find the best combinations of them.
The type of Materia you put in your weapons and armor will determine how quickly your Materia grows.
Put Materia into the open slots in your weapons and armor. The possible combinations are limitless.
That's about all I can tell you. If you want to be like me, you have to have some natural talent.
Girl + Boy
I still don't get it!
Cloud
Listen kid, don't piss me off!
That's all right. Just give it a try. Little by little, you'll get used to it.
The kids go back to their sparring match.
Three guys posing
Hey SOLDIER!! Tell us about battles! We'll even pay you!
Cloud
I'm not hard up enough to take money from guys like you. But I'll rap with you for a while.
A tutorial menu opens.
On the third floor, there are some beds. If you haven't paid, the kid runs in after you.
Kid
This is a slum, so don't think you can stay for free.
What are you going to do?
Doesn't just seeing the bed make you sleepy?
Cloud
- 10 gil
- no way
Back outside, a small crowd is gathered around Johnny. Biggs, Wedge, and Jessie, who are among them, run off as soon as Cloud nears. Johnny's mom goes back inside her house.
Johnny
I'm leaving. Goin' faraway. But when I come back I'll be a better man! This is goodbye!
Hey! Childhood friend! You better take good care of Tifa!
Johnny runs off.
Johnny's cousin
I hope he doesn't get hurt.
That worries me the most.
Gossip
Yesterday, everyone in town was peeking at the two of you from outside the bar.
Tifa's childhood friend. That's a good one!
Kid
Ahh! Now I ain't got no one to pick on!
Inside Johnny's house...
Johnny's Dad
Ha! Ha!...... I wonder if my son's already left?
When it's just my wife and I here, you have no idea how lonesome it gets.
You want them to be happy and do what they want while they're young, but being a parent, you can't help but worry...
I guess I'm not cut out to be a parent yet.
By the way......
Where are you from?
Cloud
- A village called Nibelheim
- Who cares?
- A village called Nibelheim
Johnny's Dad
Hm...... you said Nibelheim? Wasn't it in the news a while back?
Something to do with a Reactor accident...
That was the first major Mako accident, so I remember it really being a hot topic.
- Who cares?
Johnny's Dad
Ha, Ha!...... Well, there's nothin' wrong with that, I'd say.
But if you still have a family, You outta at least write them.
Even though you may turn your back on your hometown, It'll always be there for you.
Least that's how I see it.
Johnny's Dad
Well, you mind leaving the two of us alone?
I want to enjoy some quiet time together with my wife.
Johnny's Mom
He used to give us nothing but headaches when he was here, but now that he's gone... I kind of miss him.
......strange, isn't it?
Back outside...
Kid (standing by the door to 7th Heaven)
When it comes down to it... I'm gutless. I'm still just a no good kid.
Gossip
Listen! If there isn't anyone to listen, what's the use of getting gossip on everyone!?
Yeah, and you Mr. I-don't-care!
I'll get a little more information that would poque even your interest. You wait and see!
Johnny's cousin
Ah... Johnny's gone. You look a little disappointed.
I don't like to say it myself but, I'm just a lonely guy when I'm not drinking.
Further on, to where the two soldiers are stationed...
Soldier 1
HALT!! No one is allowed to pass!!
Soldier 2
You know, I got some tickets to "Loveless", do you want to go?
Soldier 1
What're you, retarded? Midgar's under martial law now!
Soldier 2
You mean, you really are concerned for me?
Soldier 1
Hell no!! But in case you forgot, we're in the middle of a slum.
They could be anywhere around, so stay on your guard.
Soldier 2
Right. You mean the AVALANCHERS?
Don't you worry. SOLDIER has been added to the police force.
Boy, it's been a while since SOLDIER's been mobilized, hasn't it?
I ever tell you that I flunked the SOLDIER entrance exam?
Soldier 1
Damn right!! blahblahblah......
