Cargo Ship - Ocean Crossing

Exploring the Ship

A Suspicious Character

Sephiroth


Cloud
We'll cross the ocean, to the new continent.
...even if we are wearing Shinra's uniforms...

In the cargo hold, there are a few others in Shinra uniform. The sailors are busy with various tasks and the soldiers are apparently standing guard...

Sailor
I'm workin' hard already, and you still want me to do more?
The new President's probably the same.
He's just gonna order us around anyway.

Yuffie
Urrrgh... This is why... I hate ships.
Hey, Cloud. You have any 'Tranquilizers'?

Cloud
- Here, use this
- Nope

Here, use this

Yuffie
Thanks... Gross... this is bitter.

Nope

Yuffie
...unless it's an emergency get away from me.

Yuffie
Where are the others?
I dunno. Aren't they hiding somewhere around here?
How should I know...? Ugh...... urk......

Cloud jumps back, and moves on to find the others.

Aeris
Umm...... It's me Aeris.
Hey, Cloud. Did you see the Airship at Junon?

Cloud
...I heard it was big, but I didn't expect it to be THAT big.

Aeris
That was REALLY something.
Hey, do you think I could get on it?

Cloud
- I'll take you someday
- I dunno...

I'll take you someday

...keep hoping.

Aeris
Wow! I'm really looking forward to it!
Let's ride the Airship together, OK? Promise, promise me!

I dunno...

...It's a Shinra weapon. We probably should've destroyed it.

Aeris
...Hmm. But just once, I'd like to ride it.
Just once, I'd like to ride that Airship.

Sailor 2
It won't do any good trying to stop me!
All right! I'm going to show the new President what I'm made of!

Soldier
Hey, get to work!
Both the new President Rufus and Heidegger are aboard this ship!
If we do good, we could get promoted!

Cloud goes up to the deck. He finds Tifa up on the lookout tower.

Tifa
Yes sir! Everything quiet, sir!
...But, you know what? I really hate this uniform.
Uniforms, soldiers, war, I hate 'em all.
They take away all the things and people you love...
I wish they'd all disappear. Right, Cloud?

Cloud
- Yeah......
- I don't know

Yeah......

Tifa
You're right!
Uh, yes sir, I'll continue my watch sir! Hee hee...

I don't know

Tifa
...Cloud. Wearing those clothes seems to have changed you a little.
Does it remind you of being in SOLDIER? I hope not...

Sailor 3
President Rufus and his men are in the Bridge of the Ship. If they see you slacking, they'll bust you one!

Sailor 4
Hey! What's wrong, kid? You got no pep!
A seaman's gotta have umph!

Cloud
- I'm tired...
- Something's missing
- Leave me alone

I'm tired...

Sailor 4
I got just the perfect thing! 'Invisible Alpha'-- A super drink for seamen!!
Just one'll rejuvenate you! Only 250 gil!

Cloud
- I'll take it
- No thanks

I'll take it

Sailor 4
Thanks! This is a necessity for a sailor.
This is a must item for a sailor! Ha ha ha!

HP/MP Restored!

Or, if Cloud doesn't have enough gil...

Sailor 4
Hey! You don't have enough money!

No thanks

Sailor 4
Hey! Seamen shouldn't be so stingy!

Something's missing

Sailor 4
Ey ey! Whattaya mean, 'missin'!?

An item shop menu opens.

Leave me alone

Nothing happens.

A soldier stands blocking the way to the front of the ship.

Soldier 2
Oh man, we're almost to Costa del Sol.
When I get there, I'm going to take a long overdue vacation. Maybe I'll go down to the beach and get a tan...

Red XIII
......
......It's me.
Red XIII.
I'm a little woozy, but I shouldn't get caught.
Humans only look at appearances anyway.
Anyway you look at it, I'd say I make a fine human being.

He turns around, showing his tail sticking out the back of his uniform.

It's pretty hard standing on two feet...

Back in the cargo hold...

Aeris
Hey, Cloud. Did you see Barret?
I hope he's not doing anything stupid...

Cloud goes back up to find Barret just outside the bridge, watching Rufus and Heidegger through the window.

Barret
Look, Cloud. It's Rufus and Heidegger.
They're this close but we can't do a thing to 'em...
Ummmm...... Gmmmmm......
How can he...... Goin' off laughin' like that?
Because of him, Biggs...... Wedge...... Jessie......!
Ggggggggh... Ggggh......! Ggggggghhh!!
God!! I can't take it anymore!
I'm gonna settle things here and now......

Emergency alert! Reports of a suspicious character found! Those not on detail, search the ship. Report when found!
I repeat. Suspicious character found on board! Those not on detail, search the ship. Report when found!

Barret
Damn, did they find us!?
Hey, that don't seem like us. Do they mean... Tifa and the others!?
Get off your spikey butt and let's go, Cloud!

Barret and Cloud join the others gathered on the deck of the ship.

Tifa
Everyone all right!?

Barret
You all right!?

Aeris
Huh?

Tifa
Everyone's here... right?

Barret
Hey, wait.
You don't think that suspicious character is...

Someone
Sephiroth!?

Tifa
Really!?

Barret
How the hell am I supposed to know!?

Cloud
...Let's find out.

Red XIII
It's the most logical thing to do. Then, who's going to go?

Yuffie (backing away)
N, not me...
I don't even like Sephiroth anyway. And besid...... ugh...... urk......

Cloud
...... Sephiroth......
......All right, let's go!

Barret
I'm goin' too!

Aeris
Is it really Sephiroth......?

Tifa
Take me with you!

Red XIII
These clothes are too tight on me. Can I switch with you?

Yuffie
I told you... I don't want... to, ugh...... urk......

Sailor 4
Say, who are you? You're not a part of the crew.
Oh well, seamen never bother with details!
How you feelin'!

Cloud
- I'm tired...
- Something's missing
- Leave me alone

Cloud the others go down into the cargo hold, where two sailors and a soldier lie motionless on the floor.

Soldier
...the Engine Room... ...a suspicious...... character...
No...... there's no way...... that...... not a human...... That thing's not human......
.........

Cloud enters the engine room and walks up to the one soldier still standing.

Cloud
Is it...... Sephiroth?

The man turns around and collapses.

Cloud
No... not Sephiroth!

Sephiroth
......After a long sleep...
...the time......
...time has...... come...

Barret
Look, Cloud!!

Aeris
Look, Cloud!!

Tifa
Cloud, look!!

Red XIII
Over there, Cloud.

Yuffie
Ov...... over there!!

Sephiroth rises up through the floor of the engine room.

Cloud
Sephiroth! You're alive!

Sephiroth
......Who are you?

Cloud
You don't remember me!? I'm Cloud!

Sephiroth
Cloud...

Cloud
Sephiroth! What are you thinking!? What are you doing!?

Sephiroth
...the time...... is now...

Cloud
What!? What are you saying!? Be more......

Sephiroth flies off through the ceiling, and Cloud's party enters a battle with Jenova∙BIRTH, fighting and defeating it. A small tentacle-like piece remains after the battle.

Barret
Isn't he...... that guy?

Aeris
I've seen this before...

Tifa
I've seen this somewhere... before.

Red XIII
That's what disappeared from the Shinra building...

Yuffie
Eeeew! What IS it! GROSS!

Cloud
...Jenova. The arm of Jenova.

Barret
Jenova...You mean he's been walkin' around with that thing?

Aeris
Jenova... With this thing?

Tifa
Jenova... He's been carrying this thing around?

Red XIII
Sephiroth took Jenova... What does it mean?

Yuffie
Gag... I'm feeling sick as it is without you having to show me THIS...

Cloud
So it WAS Sephiroth.

Barret
He said the time is now.

Aeris
The time is now... I think that was what was said.

Tifa
He said something about it being time for something.

Red XIII
The time is now...? What does that mean?

Yuffie
He was mumbling something about time!

Cloud
......Time... is now?

Barret
I don't know WHAT the hell's goin' on!
Cloud, why don't you explain to me what's happened so far?

Aeris
Hmm... I don't get it.
Hey, Cloud. Can you explain it to us?

Tifa
I'm getting so confused...
Cloud, explain what's happened so far.

Red XIII
Hmm... The story's not that simple.
Cloud, why don't you summarize what's happened so far?

Yuffie
So what's the story?
Hey Cloud. Give us a quick run down.

Cloud
- I'll try
- Too much trouble [With this choice, he doesn't say anything more.]

Cloud
...I'll try, but don't interrupt me while I'm explaining.
Sephiroth went off searching for the Promised Land, so he could become the ruler of the planet... That was 5 years ago.
Then Sephiroth came back and killed President Shinra.
And then just now all of us saw Sephiroth.
He was carrying Jenova with him.
...This much I do know. He told me he wants to go to the Promised Land with his mother, Jenova.
...I guess that's about it.

Dock workers--We will be docking in Costa del Sol in 5 minutes. Prepare for docking.

Barret
Whoa! We'd best hurry and hide somewhere.

Aeris
Maybe we shouldn't stay in here anymore...

Tifa
We should hide somewhere again.

Red XIII
I don't think it's wise to stay here any longer.

Yuffie
Phew... We're finally here... Now we gotta hide......

The others start for the exit. Cloud turns back to look at where Sephiroth was.

Cloud
Sephiroth... is alive...
The Promised Land... Does it really exist...?

The cargo ship continues on to dock at Costa del Sol.
